"My mother, you almost killed me." Fan Jiucai found a safe place and took a few breaths to calm down. Wang Xianping's sudden shout just now really scared him.
This place is so fucking high! The villages at the bottom of the mountain look like sesame seeds from above. The river is usually not swimmable in one breath, but now it looks like a thread.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Wang Xianping explained hurriedly.
"What's going on up there?" Fan Jiucai asked.
"When we reached the top, there was nothing. We must have gone to the wrong place. The Patriarch's Temple was not built on the highest peak. But how could there be a road leading to it? The people at Xianji Bridge would not be idle either.
You have nothing to do, why come here?" Wang Xianping was really confused.
"What do you want to say? We must have been tricked. They blocked the real road and made a fake road for us. People from Xianji Bridge will definitely not come here. But we can't clear the direction.
Yes, they will definitely follow the road. Forget it, let's go down." Fan Jiucai figured it out immediately.
It's easier to go up the mountain than it is to go down the mountain. Although going down the mountain is downhill, which seems to save more effort, when going down the mountain, it is the most difficult to control the body. If you are not careful, you will slip. It is so steep here. If you slip, you will lose your child.
life.
By the time a few people returned to the previous mountainside, they were already exhausted.
"Brother Jiucai, I really can't walk. If I roll down, my life will be dead." Yao Wanlin sat down on the ground and refused to get up.
Xu Jianming had disappeared at this time. He must have left when everyone climbed to the top.
Fan Jiucai was tired himself, so he found a large boulder and sat on it: "This Xu Jianming, don't even think about following me in the future!"
"Brother Jiucai, I've wanted to say it for a long time. Every time something happens, Xu Jianming is the first to back off. People like this should be cleared out as soon as possible," Wang Xianping said.
"Don't worry. No matter what he says in the future, I will never let him follow me." Fan Jiucai was completely disappointed with Xu Jianming this time.
"Brother Jiucai, what should we do next? Are we still looking for the Patriarch's Temple?" Wang Xianping asked.
"What a fool! By the time we get down the mountain, it will be dark already. Where can we find the Ancestral Temple in such pitch black darkness? Today's incident is embarrassing enough. Let's put aside the affairs of the Ancestral Temple for the time being. We have many other things to do.
Come on." Fan Jiucai thought to himself that this time he was almost tricked to death, and he didn't even see anyone else's shadow. I was stupid to come here again.
As soon as Fan Jiucai and others were delayed, the sky suddenly darkened. There was originally heavy fog in the mountains, and the light was not very good. Now as soon as the sun sets, it is almost like night in the mountains. Fan Jiucai and others were not well prepared when they arrived, thinking that
After a while, I finished everything and left. I didn't expect it to be dark and I didn't see the shadow of the Patriarch's Temple.
Fortunately, Fan Jiucai brought a box of matches in his pocket, picked up some pine branches in the mountains, and then found a tree from which pine oil had been cut. He picked a ball of pine oil from the hole where the oil was loosened, then tied it with bark and used pine oil.
Soaked. A simple torch is ready.
There is no good road in the mountains. Although a few people were holding torches, they could not see the road clearly under their feet. From time to time, people rolled on the mountain road. As they walked, their clothes were ragged and their bodies were covered with bruises.
"Brother Jiucai? Is that you?" Suddenly someone ran over.
Fan Jiucai used a torch to see clearly and discovered that it was Xu Jianming.
"Why are you still here?" Fan Jiucai asked.
Xu Jianming burst into tears: "After I came down, I just followed the marks I made before. Who knew that after walking for a long time, I kept wandering around this place."
"You deserve it! A person like you, if placed in a war era, would be a standard deserter and traitor." Yao Wanlin cursed.
"You made a mark and you went the wrong way?" Fan Jiucai felt that something was a little strange.
"When I came here, I marked the tree all the way to avoid getting lost when I went back. But I followed the marks and walked for a long time without leaving this place. I have been to this tree more than ten times.
"Xu Jianming burst into tears.
"It's useless. It cries like a girl." Wang Xianping was very disdainful.
"Stop crying! Follow us! After all, you came out with me, otherwise I wouldn't bother to care about you." Fan Jiucai said angrily.
But about a quarter of an hour later, Fan Jiucai and his party returned to the place where they met Xu Jianming before.
"Brother Jiucai! We are back to where we are now." Xu Jianming's face turned pale immediately after seeing the tree. He was so impressed by this tree. It is a wild persimmon tree. There are many persimmons on the tree.
There is a hole in the pole, just reaching his forehead. Naturally, there cannot be two identical persimmon trees on this road. And it is difficult to find two identical persimmon trees in the wild.
"Damn! If you encounter a ghost, hit the wall. Let's stand still for now. Later, everyone will urinate in the surroundings. Dirty things are most afraid of children's urine. There are so many of us, and we will soak this dirty thing to death." Fan Jiucai thought.
Got a good idea.
If Chang Xing were here, his stomach would definitely hurt from laughing. Can a child break the Feng Shui formation by peeing? Don't be so naive, okay?
"Ready! Pull!" Fan Jiucai and his group quickly pulled down their pants and pulled them up around them.
"Okay! Let's move forward now!" Fan Jiucai said.
More than a quarter of an hour later, Fan Jiucai and his party returned to the wild persimmon tree exhausted. The urine stains of the children around them were not yet completely dry.
"Brother Jiucai, it doesn't work. What should we do now?" Wang Xianping said.
"Scold! The harsher the scolding, the better! This kind of evil spirit is most afraid of being scolded. As long as it is scolded more harshly, it will definitely leave on its own." Fan Jiucai came up with another idea.
Several people cursed together, borrowing all the ugliest and most vicious words in the village. The scolding made everyone's mouths go dry, and then Fan Jiucai waved his hands and led everyone on their way.
However, after almost half an hour, Fan Jiu and a few people stumbled to the wild persimmon tree. This time, they didn't say anything and sat down on the ground.
"I can't walk anymore! Even if you kill me, I won't leave." Yao Wanlin lay down on the ground and refused to move again.
The rest of the people also sat down feebly one by one. Fan Jiucai couldn't walk himself, so he sat down without saying a word. The worst one was Xu Jianming, whose feet were covered in blisters, and several of them had already been injured.
Broken. Lying on the ground like a dead fish,
At this time, Chang Xing and the group from Xianji Bridge were standing on the hillside less than a hundred meters away from the wild persimmon tree. The heavy fog had no effect on their sight. The unlucky look of Fan Jiucai and his group was obvious to them.
Clearly.
"They are really miserable. Will you let them go when they wake up?" Zhang Fangqing asked.
"It's not that easy. After such a small hardship, I'm sure they will come again in the future. I want them to tremble all over when they think of this trip to Fengmei Village. If I don't let them have more nightmares, how can they?
Accept a lesson? I am doing this for their own good. If they offend me, I will make them suffer a little. If they offend other people, they may die," Chang Xing said.
"How will you scare them later?" Zhang Xingfu was very interested.
"We can't make them stop, we have to make them crawl on the ground from exhaustion," Chang Xing said.
Not long after Fan Jiucai and others sat down, they heard the howling of wolves not far away.
"Wolf! No, there are really wolves here!" Xu Jianming jumped up.
"What a howl? Are you willing to attract the wolves to come here? Quickly find firewood and light a fire. Wild animals are afraid of fire. If you light a few fires, the wolves will not dare to approach." Fan Jiucai hurriedly said
I took a few people to find firewood. There were quite a few dead branches and leaves, but the fuel was not burned at all.
"Woooo..."
The howling of the wolf seemed to be getting closer and closer.
Fan Jiucai also became a little nervous. He could also hear that the howling of the wolf was not far away.
A few people didn't have knives in their hands, so they could only pick up some dead branches and leaves. After working for a long time, they didn't pick up much firewood, and it wouldn't last long. If the wolves came, a group of people would have to set up here.
"Let's go! Try again. I don't believe I can't find the way down the mountain." Fan Jiucai walked in front with a torch.
Yao Wanlin, who just said he would not leave even if he was killed, got up from the ground and walked faster than anyone else. He didn't want to stay and feed the wolves!
This time, the group of people walked faster than before. But they finally returned to the same place.
Fan Jiucai sat down on the ground in despair: "This time I won't run away even if the wolf comes. It's better to just feed the wolf than to die of exhaustion and be eaten by the wolf in the end."
"I'm not leaving either." Xu Jianming really couldn't walk anymore.
However, Fan Jiucai and others refused to leave. Chang Xing always found a way to torment them. They struggled all night. When dawn broke, the maze collapsed, and Fan Jiucai and his party came down the mountain crying. This time, they had to stop for a long time.
It's time.
After Fan Jiucai and others left, Chang Xingcai sent Zhang Fangqing and his party down the mountain. Almost all the bacon in the Patriarch Temple was given to them.
"Chang Xing, don't take it all. Keep some for yourself," Zhang Fangqing said.
"It's okay, Uncle Fang Qing. There are a lot of game in the mountains, and I'm tired of eating bacon." Chang Xing said.
Zhang Xingfu smiled and said: "In a few days, I will send you a box of braised tofu."
"Yes." Chang Xing happily accepted.
"I'll send you the soju medicine in two days. Fang Qing, remember to send your guy who makes the wine over." Xiao Laosi said.
Chang Xing suddenly remembered something: "Uncle Lao Si, I can't do anything about Brother Jin Lin's illness for the time being. If I can cure it in the future, I will definitely treat it for Brother Jin Lin."
"This is all my fault. If I had called you, why would these things have happened? Alas!" Xiao Laosi thought about what happened to his son and regretted it endlessly.
