In the afternoon, Lin Jue found Liu Dabao and asked him for leave, asking him to go out for a walk in the afternoon. Liu Dabao naturally agreed. He just told him not to wander around, just walk around, and never break in.
Where you are breaking into, you cannot go into the main village, otherwise you will die without knowing how.
With Liu Dabao's permission, Lin Jue left the station in a leisurely manner and slowly walked along the mountainside towards the north of the island. He met many bandit soldiers wandering around on the road, but they were in a hurry and no one had time to ask.
Where is this little guy wandering alone on the road going? After all, the mountainside is not a forbidden area, but the defense zones of each battalion are different. There is no need to ask too clearly.
More than half an hour later, Lin Jue approached the mountainside in the north of the island. This is the highest point of the mountain village. There is a cliff on the side facing the lake, making it impossible to go up. The highest point on the island above the cliff is where Lin Jue has been climbing for more than ten days.
The unreachable main village of the village is where the Juyi Hall of the village is located. The master of the village, the masters of the village, the masters of the village and the backbone of the village master all live in the main village.
Because it is a land of cliffs, there are not many people here. There are only boats cruising on the lake outside the island. You have to be careful not to be suspicious of your heartbeat by these people, otherwise they will immediately send a whistle and you will have no way to hide.
.
Looking at the bare cliff lying in front of him, Lin Jue squatted among the rugged rocks and scratched his head. Climbing up the rock was impossible, it was beyond Lin Jue's ability. At the same time, climbing on the cliff would also attract patrol boats on the lake.
attention. But since I didn’t have wings, there seemed to be nothing I could do.
Quietly walking along the edge of the cliff and looking around, Lin Jue suddenly found a place to climb. It was a mountain vine hanging down from the side of the cliff. Because it was embedded in a crack, it could not be seen from the outside.
Moreover, Lin Jue stood under the crack and looked towards the lake, and found that this was the blind spot for boats on the lake. Lin Jue was overjoyed, tightened his belt, and took out a pair of cowhide gloves from his arms.
These gloves were also specially made by Lin Jue. They were made of cowhide and inlaid with small grappling hooks. They were used for climbing trees. Lin Jue knew that he was not capable. Even if there was a thick rope hanging in front of him, he might not be able to climb up.
, so he could only resort to these tools. If it weren't for the rough craftsmanship these days, he would even want to make a rope climber. However, after much deliberation, he finally came up with this cowhide glove with tiny barbs.
Tie the rope of the glove tightly around his wrist, Lin Jue began the difficult climb. The glove was indeed easy to use. The barbs were embedded in the thick vines, allowing Lin Jue to just pull his body upward without spending too much money.
Even so, Lin Jue was still sweating profusely as he climbed the cliff more than ten feet high. The wind blowing from the gap in the cliff blew Lin Jue around like an ant attached to a rope, and he lost several kilograms of strength.
Then, he slowly poked his head out from the edge of the grass on the side of the cliff.
To Lin Jue's surprise, the situation on the top of the cliff was completely different from the rocks and weeds and trees below. Except for a patch of weeds on the edge of the cliff, there was a flat land in the distance with neatly planted grass.
Qi. There is a small pine forest not far away. From a distance, there seems to be a winding path leading into the forest. Looking further into the distance, rows of houses and stone fortresses are clearly visible on the top of the mountain.
.A big flag fluttered in the wind, and that was where the main stronghold was.
Lin Jue crouched in the grass on the edge of the cliff for a long time, observing the movements around him. The entire back mountain cliff top was quiet and empty, except for the sound of the wind blowing through the trees and the chirping of birds. Lin Jue gritted his teeth and climbed up.
He stood up, quickly crossed the open space of nearly a hundred steps, and rushed into the pine forest.
It is very dangerous to cross that open area, because there are several arrow tower lookout posts a few hundred steps away from the main village. Although they are far apart, they will not launch an attack and harm their lives. But once they find their traces, they will
Trapped on the mountain behind this cliff, he became a turtle in a urn. If he didn't want to be captured alive, he might have to jump off the cliff and be shattered into pieces. So after rushing into the forest, Lin felt his heart beat faster and leaned against a tree trunk, breathing heavily.
After confirming that the traces had not been found and that there was no abnormal movement around, Lin Jue felt relieved. After taking a few deep breaths and calming down, Lin Jue used the cover of the pine tree trunks to slowly move deeper into the forest. This pine tree
The forest is actually not very big, with a radius of only fifty paces. It looks extremely abrupt in the flat and empty terrain of the back mountain. It looks like all the original pine forests in the back mountain have been cut down, leaving such a small area intentionally.
The woods, but I don’t know what they are for.
It wasn't until Lin Jue touched the middle of the pine forest and saw a small open space and a huge tomb built with stones and sand facing north and south that Lin Jue finally understood that the reason why this pine forest existed was because this tomb was here. Lin Jue
I walked slowly to the front of the big tomb and saw the huge stone tablet as tall as a person. On it were engraved several large gilt characters, "The tomb of my late father, Gao Gong, Yuan Kui", and at the bottom were engraved several words.
The small print reads 'The filial daughter Gao Muqing Jinli'.
There are only a dozen or so people on a huge tombstone that is as tall as one person. There are no words praising their virtues, no markings on the years of birth and death, and no names of filial sons and virtuous grandchildren. These are the people who have dominated Guishan Island for twenty years and died after their death.
The burial place of Gao Yuankui, the former leader of Guishan Island Village, is buried here. However, the size of this tomb is quite large and impressive. It is several times taller than that of an ordinary person. This is in line with his status during his lifetime.
Although he was not a lake bandit, he was still powerful. Gao Yuankui was the king of Guishan Island during his lifetime. After his death, this tomb and this green pine forest were also his territory.
Lin Jue slowly walked around the tomb. Seeing that the tomb was neatly repaired, and the grass and thorns on the ground and the top of the tomb were neatly taken care of, he knew that there were dedicated people coming to maintain it from time to time. And it was extremely obvious that there were a lot of thorns in front of the tomb.
Fruits and sacrifices were offered there, and a large pile of unburned paper money was smoking. There were footprints on the ground. All this showed that many people came to worship Gao Yuankui not long ago. Seeing this
Lin Jue felt a little worried about everything, but also a little relieved at the same time. What he was worried about was that people came here often, and it was not an inaccessible place, which would affect his plan. What was reassuring was that at least no one should come here again today, because it looked like
It seemed that a large group of people who came to pay homage had already arrived.
But no matter what, Lin Jue still acted cautiously. He sat on a stone next to the grave and frowned, thinking about what to do. Today he came here to verify a question in his mind, that is, how could Gao Yuankui die suddenly in his prime?
The situation of death. To verify this, I am afraid that I have to do something taboo. The dead cannot speak, and Lin Jue is not a goddess. Can he talk to Gao Yuankui, but the bones of the dead can speak. If Gao Yuankui died abnormally,
Then we should be able to find clues from his bones. So if we want to find out the suspicion in our hearts, we need to dig up the tomb and dig out Gao Yuankui's body for inspection.
Originally thinking that Gao Yuankui's tomb was just an ordinary earthen tomb, Lin Jue had already thought of digging the grave with his bare hands today. However, the tomb in front of him was made of a mixture of bricks, stones, sand and soil. It was tall and solid. It was absolutely impossible for him to dig it by himself. Lin Jue was very distressed about the fact that it couldn't be carried out. It seemed that he was going back empty-handed today. He had to find helpers. And the helpers could only be Ma Bin, Shen Tan and the others. How could he invite them to discuss this matter together? , and finding a time to dig the grave together is a bit of a headache.
After thinking for a moment, Lin Jue decided to return the same way and look for an opportunity to meet with Ma Bin, Shen Tan and the others to discuss the matter. Just as he stood up and was about to leave, suddenly there was the sound of someone speaking outside the forest.
"You just stay here, you don't have to accompany me in." A woman's voice came.
"Master of the village, the young ones will accompany you in to worship the master of the village..."
"I said, you don't need to accompany me. Don't my words have any effect?" the woman said in a cold voice.
"Yes...obey the order! Brothers, be on alert outside the forest!"
The sound of clattering footsteps sounded, and it seemed that many people had taken up positions around the pine forest to block the area. Lin felt his scalp numb. He wanted to exit the pine forest from the other side immediately, but it was obvious that he could no longer do so. As soon as he went out, he would He was discovered. In a hurry, he saw a large pine tree nearby with a thick crown of pine branches, so he used the climbing ability of the barb gloves to climb up to the crown of the tree and hide among the pine needles.
Just after he had settled down, he stepped lightly, and a figure appeared at the edge of the open space in the south, walking slowly towards Gao Yuankui's grave. Lin Jue didn't dare to express his anger, and stared at the woman, but when he saw the woman The whole body is plain, and the face is covered by white gauze. There is a small white flower on the temples. Although the appearance cannot be seen clearly, the body under the plain dress is slender and well-proportioned, with a graceful figure. Based on the conversation outside the forest just heard, As well as the signature on the tombstone, Lin Jue had already guessed who she was. This woman should be the daughter of Gao Yuankui, the old village owner of Guishan Island Village. She is now the village owner of Guishan Island Dazhai, and her maiden name is Gao Muqing.
Although the purpose of Lin Jue's plan this time is to find a way to contact the core figures in the Guishan Island cottage to try to resolve the matter through negotiation. But at this moment, Lin Jue must not show up. Firstly , The current situation on Guishan Island is more complicated than I imagined. The person who really calls the shots is not clear yet, so I cannot expose my identity rashly. Secondly, I have no reason to prove my identity and convince the female village leader. Even if It is a plan to negotiate, and it also requires further familiarity with the situation and understanding of the other party's attitude. Negotiate only if it is possible, otherwise it is courting death. Moreover, there is a third reason, and that is, Lin Jue I hope to find more secret information in the cottage, so that I can stir up chaos inside the cottage and achieve my own goals. This is what Lin Jue thinks is most likely to be achieved, but this requires Lin Jue to master more message.
In Lin Jue's eyes through the cracks in the pine branches, Gao Muqing, the female village leader in plain clothes, had slowly arrived in front of Gao Yuankui's tomb. She frowned and looked at the pile of tributes and paper money in front of the tomb. She stood quietly for a while and turned around. Go to the other side of the tomb and squat down slowly, then take out the food and wine tributes from the bamboo basket slung in your arms one by one, and place them on the ground. At the same time, you blow on the fire, light three incense sticks, and stick them in the Among the gaps in the masonry on the ground.
After that, the woman slowly reached out and took off the black gauze covering her face, revealing her face. The moment she saw Gao Muqing's true appearance, Lin Jue in the canopy opened his eyes in surprise. That was a
The face is breathtakingly beautiful, with marble-white and exquisite facial features, skin so white and tender that it is almost transparent, eyebrows as beautiful as black, pink lips like clouds, and eyes as blurry as stars in the mist. It is not only beautiful, but also from the woman's face.
There is a cold air in the eyebrows, which makes people feel that they can only watch from a distance but not play with them.
Gao Muqing is indeed a stunning beauty, so what Liu Dabao said while drunk last night is definitely true. Liu Dabao praised Gao Muqing to the sky, saying that she was the most beautiful woman in the world. Lin Jue thought it was too exaggerated at the time, but at this moment
It seems that it is not that exaggerated. Although Gao Muqing is not known as the most beautiful woman in the world, her appearance and temperament are excellent. This can also be understood that Qiu Biao, the second in charge of the family, covets Gao Muqing and pursues Gao Muqing crazily to marry her.
