Chapter 357 Rift Valley Villa(2/2)
?”
Wu Heyun said with a smile: "It is said that our ancestors were attacked by wolves in the wasteland. They picked up a halberd in the wasteland to defend themselves. They escaped the disaster and later had the opportunity to embark on the path of spiritual practice. I feel like this.
, our ancestors took the 'halberd' as the family emblem."
The three brothers looked at each other calmly, and Yu Qing nodded, "I see."
Just at this moment, a gust of wind suddenly blew in. Wu An, a young man standing aside, suddenly walked quickly outside the terrace, looked at something in the distance, then turned back and said inward: "Master Sanzhuang, the wind and sand are coming."
Wu Heyun immediately went over to take a look, and several people in the house followed him out.
I saw a burst of dark yellow in the sky in the distance, pressing down with a force that blocked the sky and the sun. The sand and dust were billowing, just like a sandstorm. Yu Qing and others had heard about it for a long time, but this was the first time they saw it.
Wu Heyun greeted a few people and retreated into the house, while Wu An jumped to the balcony, untied the ropes above, lowered the roller blinds, and went inside to pull the ropes and tighten them to prevent them from being blown away by the wind and sand.
The light in the room suddenly dimmed, and someone from outside brought in a lamp for lighting.
Not long after, there was a gust of movement outside, and the fire inside the house was also shaking.
Yu Qinghu said: "There seem to be many people in the grape fields outside, some of them are far away. They may not be able to come back for a while. What should they do?"
Hearing this, Qiao Qier looked at him with tenderness in his eyes.
Wu Heyun said with a smile: "Don't worry, there are holes in the grape fields to draw water. If the weather is like this, they can always get into the underground culverts to take shelter. They will be fine."
Yu Qing said, "I am too worried."
The sandstorm outside came and went as quickly as it came, and it subsided very quickly.
Wu Heyun, who had been accompanying you for a while, also stood up, "Four of you, there are still things to deal with in the village, so I won't accompany you. Wu An will take you to the guest room. If you have anything to do, just ask Wu An."
“It doesn’t matter, it doesn’t matter, it’s already a nuisance.”
Yu Qing stood up and was polite, and everyone stood up to see him off.
Wu Heyun said goodbye and left.
A few of them did not stay here long, so Wu An took them there.
After leaving the door, they walked straight along the passage, went down the steps and then up the steps. They walked indoors for almost a mile before they arrived at a row of guest rooms.
Wu An glanced at the number of people and asked: "Four rooms?"
Yu Qing: "Two rooms are enough."
It is not convenient to crowd together, nor to spread out too much. When you are in an unfamiliar place, it is safer to have a little care.
So Wu An arranged two guest rooms for them as close as possible to each other. The guest rooms both had balconies. When he opened the cover and walked to the balcony, he saw that the sky and earth still felt a bit gray.
After confirming the guest room, Wu An informed them that someone would come to clean and prepare it later.
When the impact of the sand and dust was almost gone and the weather became clear again, Yu Qing took the initiative to take a walk.
Wu An asked them where they wanted to see. Yu Qing wanted to go to the "Golden Valley" to check it out, but he still held back, fearing that going there would easily arouse suspicion, so he said casually.
Wu An had no choice but to take matters into his own hands and first took them to the wine cellar where the wine was stored to broaden their horizons.
The wine cellar is underground, and the rows of wine barrels are like dragons. The piles are endless and it is spectacular. Wu An said that basically everyone who comes to Rift Valley Villa comes here to open their eyes. Yu Qing said verbally
Yes, actually few people are interested.
They are interested in the Golden Valley and whether this family is a halberd bearer, but these interests cannot be easily revealed.
After taking a few people to walk around the underground wine cellar, Wu An led them out from the other end, which was far away from the guest room where they stayed. Wu An took them directly to the vineyard.
The grapes in the vineyard have not yet grown up and are still far away from the time of picking. People of the Wu family are busy in the fields.
When you arrive at the vineyard, there is one thing that you cannot help but open your eyes to, and that is the underground culvert. Everyone who comes to Rift Valley Villa cannot help but visit it.
They found a pit with steps, and Wu An led them down. They immediately saw a gurgling stream about three feet wide, and the water was crystal clear.
There are passages on both sides of the stream near the wall, which are dirt roads that can only accommodate one person walking alone.
The group walked towards the light pillar in the pit in front of them.
Nanzhu had to walk sideways and muttered, "After entering the underground, the temperature dropped significantly."
Wu An explained earlier, "The water in the canal is snow water directly melted from the snow-capped mountains. The water is very cold."
After walking for a while, intersections appeared from time to time, and suddenly Wu An raised his hand to signal everyone to pause.
Nanzhu was puzzled and asked: "What's wrong?"
Wu An pointed to the light pillars in front and behind. Everyone saw it. It must be the wind blowing outside and blowing a lot of dust.
After the dust subsided a little, the group continued moving forward.
In the center of the next intersection is a pool of water, with a windlass and well rope set up in the hole above. You have to go around here.
Yu Qing stopped, looking at the dust still floating gently in the light beam hanging from the hole above, a little distracted, and squinting slightly.
“This way.” Wu An, who was leading the crowd around, shouted.
Yu Qing finally came to his senses, followed half a circle, and continued forward.
Within two steps, he suddenly slipped and stepped into the ditch with one foot.
Everyone looked back, a little surprised. Nanzhu exclaimed, "Old Fifteen, what are you thinking about?"
We are all monks and we all understand that if we had not lost our minds, we would not have made such a low-level mistake.
Yu Qing pulled up his feet and held on to the earthen wall with one hand. When he took off his shoes to attract Wu An's attention, he quickly gave Nan Zhu and Mu Aotie a look, then he shook the shoes he had taken off and said with a bitter smile: "Forget it, I won't
Let's go, I'll wait for you here."
Qiao Qier had no interest in such a dirty underground ditch. He was about to say that he would stay with him, but Yu Qing immediately said, "Shaojun, go with them. You don't have to accompany me."
Nanzhu already understood and said: "Let's go, brother and sister, he is absent-minded and doesn't know what he is thinking, so don't worry about him. Let's go see the underground water tank that Brother Wu mentioned."
Qiao Jie'er immediately realized something. After all, there are differences between men and women. Under normal circumstances, this seventh brother would not let him leave his man and go with men like them. He looked at Yu Qing's shoes that accidentally slipped and got wet. Well
After saying that, he turned around.
On the contrary, Wu Anluo was a little hesitant, but seeing that the guest was still interested in going to see him, he couldn't refuse, so he had to tell Yu Qing, "Brother Lin, just wait here, don't run around, we will come back to find you."
, it won’t be long.”
Yu Qing waved the wet shoes in his hand, "Go, go, I'll wait for you."
After that, he watched the group leave. After the group turned vaguely at the intersection in front, he immediately put on the wet shoes on his feet, looked around, used his luck to shake off the water vapor that wet his feet, and then jumped back to the intersection.
That pool, he went directly around to another channel and headed downstream of the culvert.
After walking quickly for about a mile, the front became dark and nothing could be seen. Looking at the light spots in the distance, it was the light holes that were far apart.
It didn't matter, he just stopped here, took out the fire stick, and blew it on fire.
As soon as the fire lit up, there was the sound of clattering iron chains.
Yu Qing raised the fire folding piece and looked at it, and found that this place was a relatively open underground space with long benches. The bench surfaces had been worn smooth. It was obviously caused by people sitting on them frequently. It was probably for the people of the Wu clan who were working to rest.
The place.
However, someone had obviously set a trap in the resting place at this time. Just in front of the long bench, a piece of ground was trampled by a young boy. There was actually a ferocious animal trap placed in the pit. It was huge.
The serrated jaws of the tiger bit the little boy's calf fiercely.
The young boy looked very strong. He had no clothes on and was barefoot. Only his crotch area was roughly wrapped.
The young boy has long, black, shawl-length hair. The hair is well-defined and of good quality, reflecting a bright luster under the firelight.
The young boy's big black eyes were full of energy, obviously full of fear at this time, but he grinned at Yu Qing and made a "ho ho" sound, as if a wild beast was threatening Yu Qing, and he was still holding a trap in his hand.
The iron chain was pulled hard but could not be torn apart.
Yu Qing moved the firelight in his hand and fixed his gaze on the young boy's chest. He discovered that there was a tattoo on his chest, which was actually the pattern of a "halberd".
Yu Qing realized that a playful child from the Wu tribe ran down and stepped on the animal trap by mistake.
One thing he didn't quite understand was how Rift Valley Villa could set up such a murderous weapon in this place.
Yu Qing immediately approached and helped the child open the animal trap for treatment.
However, the little boy immediately waved his hands and scratched him frantically to prevent him from getting close. He kept saying "ho ho" in his mouth, which was obviously intimidating and intimidating.
Yu Qing immediately explained: "Little guy, let me open it for you. Only when you open it can you escape. Don't worry, I am a guest of Rift Valley Villa and I won't harm you. I will open it for you and save you, do you understand?"
The young boy understood, but his expression was obviously doubtful, but he was impatient and restless, and his grin gradually subsided, but his alert posture was still there, with his claws poised to strike back at any time.
Yu Qing was so funny that he ignored him and squatted down. He put the fire fold aside and grabbed the bite of the animal trap with both hands. When he exerted force, he was surprised and found that this thing was not an ordinary animal trap. The bite force was amazing. He
He couldn't even open it without exercising his power. If he was bitten like this, wouldn't this kid's legs be crippled?
He immediately used his strength to forcefully open the animal trap, and after restoring it to the open state, he went to help the little boy's feet to help him take a look.
To his surprise, the child jumped away and slowly backed away. Seeing that he really didn't chase him, he seemed a little strange. He immediately turned around and ran into the darkness, and the footsteps disappeared.
Just disappeared.
Being bitten by such a cruel animal trap, you actually ran away like no one was alive?
Yu Qing couldn’t recover from the wound on the child’s foot for a long time. What did he see just now?
He didn't know if he had seen it wrong, so he suddenly took a fire stick on the ground for lighting, reached out and touched the serrated opening of the animal trap, and found some slippery blood and put it in front of his eyes. He found that it was indeed not red, but
Chapter completed!
