Piluo Ge kept mumbling something while walking quickly through the forest.
However, in the final analysis, he is just a stroke patient, and due to excessive blood loss, his body and his mind cannot be integrated into one.
At this moment, Pi Luo Ge had nothing else to focus on except rushing on his way.
No matter what, he had to get to Manlong Cave before the group of Wuman people led by Tang people fought with Manlong Cave.
Only by helping Manlong defeat this group of Wuman people, will he have the opportunity to return to Cangshan and Erhai to become his second prince.
After the rain in March, the forest was very lively, and the most lively thing was the leech. These new-born locusts, which are only as long as a fingernail, are eager to grow up. Every time Pi Luoge passes by the leech, these little creatures
He tried his best to stretch his body, intending to get closer to Piluo Pavilion, and some leeches dropped down from the heights resolutely, wanting to have an intimate relationship with Piluo Pavilion.
However, the enthusiasm of these little creatures was ultimately misdirected. They did not fall on Piluoge, but on a lamb whose wool was shaved off.
Pi Luoge watched indifferently as the locusts squirmed on the lamb covered in sheep's blood. He loosened the rope around the lamb's legs and watched the lamb violently enter the forest. He waited for a moment and then took the initiative to step into the forest.
A dangerous broadleaf forest.
When Pi Luoge came out from the other side of the broad-leaved forest, he lit a bonfire in the open space, took off his clothes, and then used burning branches to scald the locusts adhering to his body.
As the locusts landed one after another, Piluoge stepped on them one by one. The bodies of the locusts exploded, but not much blood appeared.
"It's easier for Bo people to use it."
Pi Luoge muttered to himself and put his clothes on the fire to bake. After a while, some more leech fell out of the clothes and fell into the fire, making a crackling sound.
After making sure that there were no leech in his clothes, Pi Luoge put on his clothes and squatted on the ground to take a nap for a while.
After waiting for a while, there was no sound in the broad-leaved forest behind him, so Piluoge looked around and stepped upstream of a small stream.
Wen Huan's footsteps stopped on the other side of the broad-leaved forest. He looked at the leaves and the locusts on the branches that kept spreading their bodies because of his arrival. He sighed and finally stopped the Wuman under his command.
After all, he still couldn't do such a thing as using live animals as bait to attract locusts.
It is not easy to find a dry highland to serve as a camp in the forest. Moreover, the further you advance to the southwest, the hotter the climate here will be, and the number of poisonous insects in the forest will continue to increase.
Fortunately, with the Wuman people leading the way, Yunjin and the others could always find a suitable camp and avoid dangerous inedible water sources.
Yun Jin weighed her dry food bag and said to Li Chengxiu: "We can still support it for three days, but we will run out of food in three days."
Li Chengxiu chewed a piece of licorice and said: "We still can't find Manlong Cave. This is a big problem. Without Manlong Cave as the next supply point, it will be difficult for us to get out of the more than 300 miles of jungle."
Di Guangsi said: "Ah Huan has gone to follow Piluo Pavilion. There should be good news."
Yun Jin looked a little sad, shook his head and said: "Pi Luo Ge is busy on his way. If there is news, it should have been sent a long time ago. Ah Huan has not sent any news yet, which means that this guy Pi Luo Ge is going around in circles.
.”
Li Chengxiu said: "According to what they said, this is the territory of the White Barbarians. The Wu Barbarians have never set foot here, so they know nothing about it."
Yun Jin was silent for a moment and said: "If there is no news from A Huan before dark, we will abandon Manlong Cave and go straight to Yaozhou."
Li Chengxiu said: "To do this will follow in the footsteps of Zhang Qiu Xiaofang. Zhang Qiu Xiaofang just wanted to rely on the invincible armor of the Tang Dynasty to attack Cangshan Mountain and Erhai Lake, but he died without a burial place."
Di Guangsi sighed and said: "When people in the Tang Dynasty talked about Zhang Qiu Xiaofang, they only said that he was a fool. Now, when we encounter the same problem, we realize that there are many things where we have no choice at all.
Zhang Qiu Xiaofang didn't know that there was danger in the way back, but unfortunately, the imperial court issued urging orders and military orders, but did not give him time to explore slowly."
After that, he stood up and left the camp.
When Li Chengxiu saw Di Guangsi leaving, he said to Yun Jin: "Why do you think Guangsi went to find his beauty?"
Yun Jin stared and said, "Things that the Wuman people don't know, the Cuan people may know."
Li Chengxiu said: "If that beauty knows where the Manlong Cave is, when the Manlong Cave is built, I would rather give her the women and children there."
Yun Jin smiled and said: "People know that we don't want women and children, so they just wait for them to be picked up behind our backs."
Li Chengxiu sighed and said, "Speaking of which, I picked up a lot of people along the way..."
While the two were talking, Wen Huan hurried over. He didn't have time to take a sip of water. He drew a circle on the map that Yun Jin drew on the ground. Then he drank two sips of water and said to Yun Jin and Li Chengxiu: "That's pretty cool."
It is certain that the Dragon Cave is in the south, after all, Pi Luoge's physical condition does not allow him to take us around in a larger circle."
Yun Jin sighed and said: "Three days, we only have three days, we must capture the Manlong Cave."
Wen Huan said worriedly: "The goal is not clear, it is very risky. Also, except for Sheng Luo Pi sending Pi Luo Pavilion with tens of thousands of people, there has been no movement. The deeper we go, I always feel that there are all directions.
It seems like there are countless pairs of eyes staring at us.
This feeling is terrible."
Yun Jin gritted his teeth and said: "A bad decision is better than no decision at all. Let's just say that we will start marching south tomorrow."
No one can imagine that behind a group of vicious bandits, there are also a group of strong women.
These women do not want to mix with the bandits, but they like to earn money from the bandits.
At the beginning, they just liked to clean up the villages that had been harmed by the bandits, and pick up a few things that the bandits didn't like. As long as they picked up enough, they would let a woman take the picked-up women and children like ants.
Bring things back.
The rest of the people continued to follow the footprints of the bandits and continued to pick up.
As time went by, the gangsters began to treat these women as their own. Some gangsters who had robbed a lot of things came up with some goods to give to the women, but the women had nothing to exchange.
So, the women used their oldest capital to do business with the bandits.
After two months, the women had more and more goods in their hands, while the good things in the hands of the bandits became less and less.
Di Guangsi thought that Ziqi Aguo would strictly prohibit this kind of transaction. As a result, he thought too much. Ziqi Aguo thought that this was the way for women in the southwest to make a living. Why do we do what we want to do?
stop?
Hearing what Ziqi Aguo said, Di Guangsi began to feel sorry for all the things he had given away. In the end, he only touched his hands, hugged his waist, and kissed him on the lips, but was stunned, which looked extremely stupid.
"Do you know where the Manlong Cave is?" Di Guangsi saw Ziqi Aguo and looked at her pink lips.
Ziqi Aguo was standing by a fire burning pine cones. She was very busy and had no time to pay attention to Di Guangsi. The big pine cones here wrapped the seeds inside very tightly, and they would not open those armor-like hard shells until they were burned.
scales.
Di Guangsi took out a pine cone with open scales from the ashes and knocked it hard on a wooden stick lying on the ground a few times, and the pine nuts inside the pine cone fell out.
"It's already March, where did you get such good pine cones?"
Ziqi Aguo pointed on her finger.
Di Guangsi looked in the direction of Ziqi Aguo's finger and found a group of squirrels jumping on the tree trunks above their heads.
"You take food from a squirrel's mouth?"
Ziqi Aguo nodded.
Seeing her indifferent attitude towards him, Di Guangsi began to feel sorry for the good things he had given away. Since the last incident, Ziqi Aguo stopped talking to him.
If he had known that the result of giving something away would be like this, Di Guangsi would never have pretended to be a rich young man and used money to throw money at Ziqi Aguo, and finally threw her on the bed.
Just when Di Guangsi was silently helping Zi Qi Aguo handle the pine cones, he heard Zi Qi Aguo say: "Barbarian Dragon Cave is the land of savages, the most ferocious group of people among the white barbarians. They don't farm and occasionally hunt.
, most of the time, what they do is exactly the same as what you are doing now, so the surrounding tribes actually hate them.
They also knew that they were not popular, so they built the tribe in a huge cave, which is called Manlong Cave. It is said that Manlong Cave is very deep and can accommodate 100,000 people."
Di Guangsi shook his head and said: "Don't you people from the southwest brag that you don't even draft a draft? We have surveyed the nearby terrain and finally came to the conclusion that without farming and being self-sufficient, the resources here can best
The number of people to be fed will not exceed 20,000.
This is the conclusion we reached after amplifying, amplifying, and amplifying the survivability of the Manlong Cave people."
Ziqi Aguo asked curiously: "How did you come to the conclusion?"
Di Guangsi said: "Based on the terrain here, food distribution range, beast density, edible plant species, and a conclusion drawn by substituting a verified data.
Although it may not be very accurate, the big numbers will definitely not be wrong.”
Zi Qi Aguo looked at Di Guangsi and said: "I also heard that there is a river in Manlong Cave. There are many white fish without eyes in the river. This kind of white fish is regarded by the people of Manlong Cave as a reward from the gods.
In March every year, this kind of fish will emerge from the underground river, and even women and children can catch it easily.
I heard that the dried fish made from this kind of fish can even be used as candles. Every year, Manlong Cave only donates a little bit to King Man.
When you count the number of people, do you include this?"
Di Guangsi thought for a moment and said, "Are you sure that the candle fish in Manlong Cave is just a small amount of tribute, not a transaction?"
Zi Qi Aguo thought for a moment and said, "I've never heard of anyone exchanging candle fish like this."
Di Guangsi waved his hand and said: "That means the number is very small, or it is difficult to capture. I am still very sure that the number of people in Manlong Cave will not exceed 20,000.
So, you are so familiar with Manlong Cave, do you know where it is?"
Zi Qi Aguo said: "The water in this mountain forest all comes from the Manlong Cave. As long as you find any stream or river and go upstream, you will definitely find the Manlong Cave."
