After listening to the words of the two uncles, Xiao Yu nodded, and then did not tell Manager Long. After all, they already knew the route in advance. They were looking for the cattle driver themselves just to prepare for the future, so they didn't say anything to avoid others talking about themselves.
He has a lot of troubles and offends people everywhere.
"Let's go, take the road on the right, everyone, follow closely."
Manager Long said hello, and then everyone continued to move forward in small groups, chatting and laughing.
Those great monks walked together, but they didn't talk much. No matter they were walking on the road or sitting wherever they were, they clasped their hands and chanted Buddhist scriptures, as if this matter had nothing to do with them.
The mountain road on the right looks smaller than other roads. The ground is covered with dead branches and leaves, which make a creaking sound when stepped on. There is still water in some places, which creates a lot of obstacles for everyone to walk.
Although the road is small, no one complains, because everyone knows that this is just the beginning, and the road will be steeper in the future. If you can't walk this way, you can turn back now.
Another five hours passed, and everyone tossed and turned in the mountain. Finally, when it was getting dark, they stood on the top of the mountain. The top of the mountain looked relatively flat. It should be the dragon's ridge in Feng Shui, and the plants on the top of the mountain were relatively sparse.
, most of them are exposed stones, and there is also a path that is almost covered with thorns.
"Everyone rest where you are for ten minutes and eat something quickly. We have to walk another twenty miles before it gets dark. There is a cave over there where we can rest."
Hearing the sound of recess, those students felt as if they had been granted amnesty. They sat on the ground complaining one by one, their mouths full of complaints.
"I'm so tired, my legs are about to break."
"This day's journey has caught up with the distance I walked in half a month. I really miss my big bed now, lying down and having a nice sleep."
Hearing the voices from the students around him, Xiao Yu smiled, ate the bread and looked around. This mountain stretches for thousands of miles, with peaks one next to the other. There is no end in sight. According to what they said before coming, they are afraid that
If you want to stay here for half a year, you can imagine that the location of the tomb should be deep in these mountains. Even when you don’t know where you are, how many people are left in the entire team!
Ten minutes later, the team set off again. Because the road was not easy to walk now and the mountain wind was strong, everyone walked very slowly. Moreover, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon. Everyone had to feel the cave before dark, so they walked fast.
A lot, otherwise it would be too dangerous in the mountains at night.
The two cattle herders wanted to get used to this kind of environment, and they looked calm and calm. They put their big cotton-padded jackets on their bodies and followed the crowd, striding forward.
It's getting darker and darker, and you can still see a little light in the mountains and forests opposite, which should be where the farmers in the mountains live!
Everyone turned on their flashlights, and after walking on the top of the mountain for a while, they began to walk down the mountain. The road down the mountain was not very big, but there were many plants growing on both sides, so it was not difficult to walk. And halfway up the mountain, it was
There is a dark stone cave, which is exposed to the outside and is as tall as two people. It is very quiet inside.
When they saw the cave, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. As long as they entered the cave, it meant that they were safe tonight. The person who led the way looked like a villager. After he led everyone into the cave, he hugged him at the edge of the cave.
Some branches as high as two people blocked the entrance of the cave, and then retreated into the cave.
After entering the cave, Xiao Yu saw that there were actually pots and pans inside, as well as a large pot. This kind of pot is commonly used for cooking and boiling water in the mountains. It is usually placed on the fire.
The cooked rice is not very tasty.
The inside of the cave looks very smooth and dry. On one side of the stone wall, there are some animal furs hanging and some things like potatoes. This should be a place where guides often come to rest, otherwise it would not be possible.
It will be so well prepared.
"Everyone, take a rest first. There is nothing to eat, only instant noodles. Please wait a moment and I will boil water for you."
Lao Bai stepped forward to help gather some firewood around, piled it in front of Xiao Yu and the others, and then took out a lighter to light it. The cave suddenly became brighter, and the fear in people's hearts was reduced a lot.
As the water in the top tank sounded, the leader took out two boxes of instant noodles from the corner, which must have been prepared long ago.
"Everyone eat instant noodles first and save the dry food for later. Today is just the first step. There is still a long way to go. Don't waste anything."
Manager Long said a little tiredly, then sat on the edge and watched everyone go get instant noodles one by one.
"Donor Long, you said at that time that you would provide everything in this mountain, but judging from the current situation, our future living security will not be guaranteed! I am thinking that we can still eat instant noodles here. If we can eat instant noodles in five or six days,
, what else can we eat, be it weeds or tree bark?”
The speaker was a middle-aged Taoist who was wearing a Chinese tunic suit and looked very majestic, so when his words came out, everyone fell silent.
The question he mentioned is actually something that many people want to ask. Today, after walking on the mountain road for a day, many people ate what they brought with them. Although Xiao Yu did not take it from the ancient jade, several people also took what he carried on his back.
After eating most of it, how would you spend the remaining months? At this moment, Xiao Yu felt that he had brought too little.
"Haha, don't worry, master. Now it's instant noodles. This is just the worst! I've been running in the mountains all my life, and I will definitely not let everyone go hungry. When I get to the next place to stay, I will go hunting.
I’ll definitely let everyone drink the broth.”
The leader was an old farmer, who looked to be in his fifties. He was relatively thin and wore a white handkerchief on his head. He looked a bit like the style in northern Shaanxi. He always spoke with a smile, which made people feel good.
"Amitabha, all things in the world are equal, and you should not slaughter living beings for the sake of words. There are many wild vegetables in this mountain. If everyone contributes, we will not starve to death! This Taoist priest only pursues the blessing of words. I don't think it is easy to go up the mountain.
Since it’s still early, let’s go down the mountain.”
A nun chanted the Buddha's name, closed her eyes slightly, and spoke slowly.
"Everyone, I'm not chasing the blessings of words. I'm afraid that everyone will starve to death in the mountains before they find the tomb! There are so many of us, and we can eat two sheep at a time. How can we catch so many prey?"
After hearing this, the middle-aged professor sitting among the students stood up with an unhappy look on his face. He stood by the fire and looked at the man in Chinese tunic suit.
"Master Taoist, I have already told you that you can leave if you don't want to participate. Students like me are spoiled at home. They haven't spoken yet. What do you have to complain about?"
"Don't forget, you are hired by us to pay us, not to enjoy ourselves. I hope you can understand this."
As soon as the professor's words came out, all the Taoist monks present could not help but frown. This professor was really speaking unabashedly. He wanted to tell everyone that I gave you money, so you should listen to me and do what I say.
