"What's going on? Why are there so many people in front?"
Then, just when they were about to reach Dunchuan, they were blocked by a mountain in front of them.
Originally, this was the only way to go to Doncheon, but due to heavy rain, the rocks on both sides fell, and the original road became a mud mountain.
If you want to go to Dunchuan, you must either spend more time taking a detour or cross this mud mountain.
Therefore, many people stopped in front of this mud mountain.
"Isn't it just some mud? What's so great about it, why are you waiting here to get there?"
Li Youmei was a little confused and went forward to inquire about the reason.
If this mud mountain can block those with carriages and horses, but for these bare-handed mud-legged people, what is there to worry about? The worst thing is that their shoes and socks will be dirty.
"What you said is easy. This mud mountain can eat people."
Someone next to him replied, "I saw with my own eyes that someone was trying to go up this mud mountain, but he lost his footing and fell in. Now he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead."
"That's right, look over there, that man is stuck in the mud. He can't get in or get out." Another person pointed to Li Youmei at a man on the mud hill.
Li Youmei hadn't paid attention before. Now, she took a closer look. Good guy, the man who was stuck in the mountain only had half his head left.
"Well, there's that guy over there."
Seeing that Li Youmei was looking seriously, the man pointed to another place. Li Youmei saw that there were many people trapped on this mud mountain.
"Since this mud mountain is so dangerous, why don't you take a detour?" Li Youmei asked again.
"Detour? Ha." The man glanced at Li Youmei, sneered, and stopped talking.
Li Youmei retreated angrily, walked to Ye Chuqiu, told Ye Chuqiu what she had learned, and told Ye Chuqiu her own questions, "Sister-in-law, you said this place is so dangerous, why don't they take a detour?
"
"They can't go around."
Ye Chuqiu glanced at her and said: "If we have to take a detour, we don't know how far we have to go, and the mountains on both sides have collapsed. Who knows what dangers there are in the mountains? It's better to wait here, anyway.
The mud mountain is so big, and when others have finished exploring the dangerous places, they will naturally be able to get over it."
The reason why this mud mountain can swallow people is probably because there are rocks underneath. These rocks are not stable. Some people step on such loose rocks and the rocks roll away under the force. Aren't they stuck?
If you are lucky and the rock underneath is stable, you might be able to climb up. If you are unlucky and the bottom is empty, you might fall into the mud mountain and die.
This mud mountain is covered with yellow mud. Some of the yellow mud is only a thin layer on the gaps between the stones. Naturally, it cannot withstand the strength of people. If someone steps on it, it may be missed.
However, as long as more people pass by and fill up the gaps between the stones, those who come later will naturally not have to worry about falling into the mud mountain again.
It's just that no one is a fool. Most people are patient and willing to wait here for a while. Only a small number of people are impatient, or are instigated by others, and will go through this muddy mountain regardless.
For example, at this moment, a strong man stood up. He glanced at everyone and said with some disdain: "Grudges, what's there to be afraid of? The worst is death, a bunch of cowards."
, if you stay here, you will starve to death sooner or later."
After saying that, he carried his baggage and walked straight up the mud hill.
Although his tone was very casual, his behavior was still very cautious. Every step he took, he stepped on stones. He even tested some places with a wooden stick to make sure there were no gaps, and then stepped on them.
Go up.
When he reached a relatively steep place, he still used his hands and feet. Everyone watched him climb to the top of the mud mountain, and they were about to cheer. Suddenly, he didn't know whether he stepped on a loose stone or something, and he let out a scream.
Then, he rolled down the mud hill and rolled to the other side, not knowing whether he was alive or dead.
With his episode, others didn't dare to casually talk about challenges.
As a human being, it's better to be a little cowardly. It's not illegal to be cowardly, right?
"Sister-in-law, what should we do now?"
When Li Youmei saw this, she felt a chill in her heart. Although she had seen many dead people along the way, she had never seen such a miserable death.
Moreover, it would be fine if he died, but it would be even more unlucky if he was still alive and became disabled.
"Let's wait for a while."
Ye Chuqiu responded, but looked elsewhere. Following her gaze, Li Youmei found several people standing on their right.
"Aren't these the crown prince and princess?"
Li Youmei was a little surprised when she saw these people dressed in ordinary civilian clothes. She knew how grand these people were when they first came to the ruined temple. Every house in the ruined temple would be covered with golden carpets. It had been a long time since they had seen each other.
Has it become so lame?
"What's wrong with them? Why are they dressed like this?"
Li Youmei asked in confusion, but couldn't help but want to go forward and ask. Of course, asking was secondary, and the main purpose was to ridicule.
When Ye Chuqiu and the others looked at the Princess Princess, they also spotted Ye Chuqiu. Seeing Ye Chuqiu's eyes, the girl gave her a vicious look.
The young man coughed twice, but he didn't know what he thought of and walked towards Ye Chuqiu.
"Why is he here? He's not here to find us, is he?"
Li Youmei said something. She was a little curious when she saw that he was coming this way. However, after seeing the young man's pale face and hearing his cough, she said loudly: "Stop, don't stop."
Coming over."
Seeing him like this, it was like the symptoms they had before. He was infected with the plague. No matter how good-looking this kind of person was, she would stay away from him.
"Why are you acting like this, Auntie? We are destined to meet each other." The young man's expression was stunned for a moment, but then he returned to being calm.
"What a fate? I don't want to have a fate with you. You sick and consumptive ghost, please stay away from us." Li Youmei said loudly.
"I just feel the cold occasionally, it's okay." The young man heard this and said.
"Why do you feel cold? Do you have vomiting and diarrhea? Are you sometimes cold and sometimes hot?"
Seeing that the young man hesitated after hearing the words, Li Youmei took a step back and said, "You are infected with the plague. The guards around you may have the same symptoms as you."
"Am I infected with the plague?" The young man was really stunned.
"That's right, you are infected with the plague, so you'd better stay away from us. If anything happens, let's talk about it from a distance of seven feet." Li Youmei said loudly.
When the young man heard this, he stopped and looked at Ye Chuqiu, "Mrs. Lin, you must also be going to Dunchuan, right? There are mud mountains blocking the road here. Does Mrs. Lin have any rules for this?"
"I don't have any plans." Ye Chuqiu shook his head, "I want to go to Dunchuan, but I'm not in a hurry."
As she said that, she looked at the boy and said, "You seem to be very anxious."
