At around three o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of dark clouds came over to cover the sun, and heavy raindrops dripped down, making small craters on the ground.
Wu Xiaoxie woke up once and fell asleep again after drinking porridge.
"A Ning" had been lying there motionless. If he hadn't heard the sound of breathing, he would have thought that this woman had just received a box lunch as soon as she appeared.
A burst of noise mixed in the rain floated into Zhang Chuxun's ears.
Zhang Zhuoxun stood up, stood at the entrance of the cave and looked out.
After a while, several figures ran into Zhang Zhuxun's sight despite the heavy rain.
The fat man held the copper coins in his hand, and his eyes could not open due to the rain. "His uncle's wooden fish mark is broken here."
Pan Zi wiped the water from his face and looked around, "We have found the last copper coin, which means that the mistress and the others are nearby. Let's look carefully."
The little brother's eyes passed through the rain curtain and suddenly locked on a place. He saw Zhang Zhuxun standing at the entrance of a cave and waving to him, then he raised his feet and walked towards that direction.
"Hey, little brother." The fat man quickly followed, "What, you found it?"
The little brother hummed and kept walking.
When he got closer and saw Zhang Zhuxun, the fat man exclaimed, "Good guys, it turns out you are hiding here, making it difficult for me to find you."
As he spoke, he tried to rush up to Zhang Zhuxun and give him a big hug.
Zhang Zhuoxun quickly dodged, "Don't run around when you're covered in water. This is just a dry area, and it will all get wet later."
Pan Zi came in and saw Wu Xiaoxie sleeping peacefully by the fire. He breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhang Zhuoxun, "How is the mistress?"
Zhang Zhuoxun smiled and said: "It's nothing serious. I just fainted from dehydration. Just add some sugar and salt and take it easy. I woke up once before and fell asleep again after eating."
Pan Zi nodded and smiled gratefully.
The fat man went shirtless and wrung out his clothes, then found a way to dry them on a rope.
As soon as the fat man arrived, the food for several people obviously improved their quality.
"Now you know the importance of Fatty. Without Fatty, you can't even eat well." The fat man stirred the vegetable soup in the pot with a spoon and said proudly.
Zhang Zhuxun gave a thumbs up, "It's a pity that you weren't here when we were eating mutton a few days ago."
Wu Xiaoxie was awakened by the fragrance. When he opened his eyes, he saw the fat man's big, rough face. He reacted for two seconds. When he looked at Pan Zi and the others, he immediately understood something.
"Damn it, I'm the only one who came here for free, right?" Wu Xiaoxie said angrily.
Pan Zi quickly explained, and then said: "At that time, the little brother left a message and knew that you were also in the team. The third master was shocked, and then he realized that you must have found out the clues through some channel.
Come over here."
Pan Zi smiled bitterly, "The reason why Third Master didn't let us tell you is because he didn't want you to get involved. He also did it for your own good."
No wonder the mean-looking black blind man often talked to him along the way, and seemed to be taking care of him. At the time, he thought it was baffling, but now I think it was all because of his third uncle.
The little brother also said that he was on his side. It turns out that this is how Te Niang stood.
Wu Xiaoxie was now immune to these words, and he didn't say anything after hearing this. He had made up his mind not to go back anyway, and even if there were ten more cows, he wouldn't be able to change his mind. He just asked, "Where is my third uncle?"
”
"Third Master is still behind. He will catch up after we meet up with Heixiazi. My little brother, Fatty, and I will be the forwards," Pan Zidao said.
"I just didn't expect that you would have bad luck along the way." Pan Zi handed the lunch box to Wu Xiaoxie, "Little Third Master, please eat more and have a night's rest. No matter whether it stops raining or not, we have to
Gone."
The fat man snorted and said, "You're lucky, you have a wooden fish by your side to take care of you. Otherwise, you and that bitch will be left to work in the sun before it rains."
After saying that, he raised his head and shouted to where "A Ning" was lying: "Girl, don't go to sleep. When you wake up, come over and eat. The fat man won't charge you."
Hearing this, Zhang Zhuoxun raised his eyebrows. The fat man probably stole the ten copper coins, so he was so generous.
"A Ning" was exposed and simply stopped pretending. He stood up and glanced around coldly, "A bunch of two-faced people. It turns out that you have planned it for a long time. Unfortunately, I have been kept in the dark. Treat yourself to delicious food and drinks."
With you."
The fat man was unhappy, "Miss Aning, please don't say it so harshly, okay? If you admit defeat, you have to admit defeat. This is our reasonable plan. You didn't stipulate that you can't collect money from two families at the same time. Who's to blame?"
"A Ning" came over and gave Wu Xiaoxie and Zhang Zhuxun a fierce look.
Wu Xiaoxie touched his nose and glared at the young man for what he was doing. He was also kept in the dark, alright?
After dinner, the rain gradually subsided.
Wu Xiaoxie looked at the dripping water drops hanging at the entrance of the cave outside, feeling a little melancholy. "The rain is about to stop, but how can we get out? This place is so big that there is no limit. No matter how we walk, we can't find a way out."
The fat man was happy when he heard this, "You think we are as stupid as you. When the wooden fish came to find you, we left marks on the road. We deepened the marks and found the pattern here."
Wu Xiaoxie was curious, "What's the pattern?"
The fat man chuckled and said, "Actually, the rocks scattered everywhere here are a deliberate deception. This ghost place also has special magnetic field interference. To sum it up in one sentence, it's Qimen Dunjia."
As he spoke, he explained in detail.
After hearing this, Wu Xiaoxie suddenly realized, "So that's it. No wonder I'm heading in the right direction, but I can't walk out even if I break my leg."
The fat man nodded, "It's not a very clever formation. It was probably devised by the Queen Mother of the West to defend against the enemy. If you meet a careless and careful person like me, it will be easy to see through it."
Wu Xiaoxie was surprised, "In that case, the Kingdom of the Queen of the West is really here."
No wonder Chen Wenjin asked someone to say that time was running out. She said in her notes that traces of the underground palace of the Queen Mother of the West can only be found by following the water flow during the rainy season. The rainy season in Tamutuo is just these days, so I missed this time.
, we can only wait another five years.
After analyzing the upcoming itinerary, Wu Xiaoxie felt that he was in such a mess and was a little embarrassed to see his third uncle, so he suggested that he follow Pan Zi and the others ahead.
Pan Zi thought for a moment and then agreed. Instead of letting the young master follow the gang of bastards hired by the third master, it would be better to follow the stronger brothers, Muyu and the others.
After resting in the cave for two days, Wu Xiaoxie and Aning fully recovered, and everyone followed the marks and set off out of the Devil City.
Seeing the days passing by, the bearded foreigners waiting outside were all desperate. When they saw a few people coming out alive and intact, they couldn't believe their eyes.
"Oh God! God bless you." The bearded foreigner burst into tears with excitement and kept making the sign of the cross on his chest.
