Du Heng thought a little more. Looking at their posture, it seemed that they didn't know where the gold mine was, and they were just running around like headless flies;

But it really shouldn’t be the case. If you don’t know the location, then where did the gold in Longwanzong come from?

Jinhua was about to climb down without saying a word. Xue Feibai murmured and asked Du Heng to fly down with her: "You have to climb such a tall tree until the age of the monkey? It would be faster to just jump down...

…”

After getting down, Du Heng did not let go of Jinhua's arm.

"Sir, let me go! I'm going to fight with those beasts! Even if the fish is dead and the net is broken..." Jinhua tried desperately to break free from Du Heng's grasp. While speaking, her eyes were still searching everywhere for things that could be used as weapons.

Du Heng was still as calm as a dead man, and said something incomprehensible: "This is a treasure place. There are so many things that can kill people instantly. Why don't you just hit people with eggs and stones?"

Du Heng's words are cold and realistic, but they also give people hope.

"Sir, do you have any idea?"

Du Heng nodded. Jinhua was so excited that she almost cried.

"Is this rope bridge leading to the stockade?"

"Um."

There must be someone guarding the end. No wonder Jinhua didn't dare to take them across the rope bridge when they entered the forest;

Moreover, the Jinhua tribesmen on the other end were also locked up, so they dared to leave them there with such confidence. There was no one on the rope bridge. Du Heng frowned slightly.

Xue Feibai was a bit unseemly in a nymphomaniac mood. One thing he said was that Du Heng was so handsome when he was wearing men's clothes! The frown on his face was even more ascetic, but he made people tease her more and more.

"Destroy this bridge!" "What?!" two exclamations sounded at the same time,

"We will keep this group of people who are causing harm to the mountains and forests and doing all kinds of evil in the mountains and forests forever!" Du Heng said firmly.

Du Heng did what he said: "Jinhua, can you tell me what dangerous birds, beasts, and vegetation are in this forest?"

"Okay, sir..."

After hearing Jin Hua's simple narration, Du Heng nodded heavily: "I understand, Xue Feibai, let's get ready..."

***

Grandma Jinhua wiped the sweat from her head and arranged the eight prepared bowls neatly one by one.

Her frail body was overwhelmed by hard work all day long. Sweat flowed into her eyes, which stung her eyes. But she must not fall. Her husband and son were still doing hard labor. One daughter was out moving to help the soldiers, and the other one still needed help.

Her care must not be...

She humbly told the guard that she wanted to wash her face. The guard noticed her cautious appearance and spat on her before letting her go.

But she seemed to be walking slowly and unsteadily, and the guard yelled at her back with dissatisfaction: "Hurry up, old man! If you come back late, you will be bruised!"

Then he couldn't help laughing when he saw how she kept bending down to beg for mercy. Xue Feibai, who was standing behind a bamboo building, felt his teeth itch.

As soon as Grandma Jinhua walked into the dark, a dark shadow covered her mouth and dragged her in.

"Uh, uh, uh!" She kept slapping Xue Feibai in fear.

"Shh! - Auntie, don't scream, I am Jinhua's friend, I was sent by her to save you!" Xue Feibai lowered his voice in her ear and said. "Look!" After saying that, Xue Feibai

He showed her the silver knotted bracelet that Jinhua had given him as a token.

After seeing it, her mood calmed down and she gently patted Xue Feibai's arm and made a gesture. Xue Feibai put down the hand covering her mouth.

Jinhua turned around to face Xue Feibai and the first thing she said was: "May I ask how my Jinhua is doing?"

"Don't worry, aunt, she is fine! We are here to help your village with her!"

"you?"

"Yes, 'we', many elite soldiers and brave soldiers have come, each of them is worth one for a hundred!" Xue Feibai said bold words to increase Jinhua's grandmother's confidence.

A trace of fear flashed in Jinhua's mother's eyes, and she took half a step back timidly: "Soldiers...the people who came to surround our village were wearing military uniforms..."

Xue Feibai stepped forward: "Don't be afraid, aunt, they are not soldiers at all, but bandits! Since we are here, we must make them look good! Are you willing to help us?"

Grandma Jinhua nodded without hesitation.

"You can go back later and tell me to add two more dishes. Then go into the back mountain forest from the entrance of the rope bridge. Walk fifty steps west and you will see a tree stump. Then go straight along the sound of the stream. You will see a basket by the stream.

, there are fish and fresh mushrooms in it, let’s give those bandits a good ‘extra meal’!”

Jinhua’s grandma clenched her fists to cheer herself up, “By the way, little brother, can I meet Jinhua...”

"Aunt, you can't see her, she is still preparing for other things and can't get out... But I promise, after tonight, your family will be reunited!"

Maybe Xue Feibai's tone was too sure, or the promise he made was too tempting, or maybe it was just that his image was so convincing that Aunt Jinhua believed him and dragging her feet.

The fatigue was swept away.

Grandma Jinhua even came back outside the house with a little joy and said to the guard:

"...Sir, today is New Year's Eve, but we must not treat the adults in the house badly! Why don't I catch the tail fish and collect some mushrooms, so that the adults can try our eight bowls specially made in Mengla. I

Promise to go back soon..."

The guard also wanted to take credit. How could she, an old woman, escape in a village surrounded by iron barrels? Even if she hid in that scary forest, how many days could she survive? Thinking like this,

He agreed with a wave of his hand.

Unexpectedly, Jinhua's grandmother had just taken a few steps, and the tip of a long shining silver knife behind her was pressed against the side of her neck: "Old lady, don't play tricks, otherwise this knife will drink blood! Why not hurry up!"

"

"Alas, it's..."

Grandma Jinhua's heart was beating wildly uncontrollably. She dragged her old and weak body and ran as fast as possible, following the route pointed out by Xue Feibai and finding things easily.

As expected, everything was ready in the basket: there were "unspectacular" white umbrellas, yellow umbrellas, hemp hens... and colorful green onions, green hands, hairy-footed milk mushrooms... none of them.

The exceptions are virulent bacteria.

That swimming fish is not poisonous, and it looks like it was just caught.

There were messy footprints on the wet ground near the stream, and a clear line of words: Grandma, I'm fine.

This is Jinhua's handwriting! It's short and powerful. She is safe now! And she really brought people back to save her relatives and tribesmen!

Grandma Jinhua was so excited that she almost cried, and her chest was filled with bitter pride. In this case, as a mother, she couldn't lose her status!

She wiped away her tears and waited for a while, so as not to go back too early and arouse suspicion. She reluctantly looked at the muddy writing on the ground with a tear in her eyes, but she started to wipe the writing clean with her own hands without hesitation.

She went to the stream to wash off the dirt on her hands, and stood up without fear to return to the home occupied by the devil, which was originally her home.
