When Hu Ming heard this, he became even more sure. That’s right. The more dangerous it is, the more likely it is that they have found the right place!
"Hu Ming, the mountain road is complicated, we'd better be more prepared." At this moment, Yang Shirley felt that this was also a problem. Then, she added: "And they said there are ghosts inside, should we get some evil spirits?
Something?"
At this time, Hu Ming was standing by the window.
Looking down from Caiyun Inn, what you can see is the endless rolling sea of emerald green forest.
I have to say, the scenery here is really nice.
Before Hu Ming could speak, the fat man said again: "No need, what the hell, Mingzi and Lao Hu can handle it, don't worry."
"However, Fatty, I never believe in those things. Only the obvious weapons I get are real."
"Everything else is a paper tiger!"
Listening to the fat man's words, Hu Bayi didn't think so. He didn't believe in the theory of ghosts and gods before, but when he thought of the poisonous spells they encountered before, as well as the little ancestors of Niuxin Mountain, etc., he was really surprised.
Don’t be careful!
"Mingzi, why do we have to guard against voodoo?"
After listening to Hu Bayi's words, Hu Ming also nodded and agreed with Hu Bayi's idea.
"Bring extra tools to repel insects and prevent poisonous insects."
"Also, those tea dealers will go out to buy tea early tomorrow morning. We will also set off after dinner. Now take the time to rest."
The next day...
At noon the next day, after lunch, only the proprietress and her daughter were left in the inn.
And, Hu Ming and his party.
Hu Ming glanced at the fat man at the dinner table. The fat man successfully received the signal from Hu Ming and chatted with the landlady again.
"I said to the boss lady, we plan to go into the mountains to look for butterflies soon. What butterfly is the hardest to see here?
"What butterfly is the hardest to see?" At this moment, after listening to the fat man's words, the lady boss thought about it for a while while clearing the dishes, and then said.
"There are a lot of them, but I can't identify what kind they are. To say there are a lot of them, they are most abundant in the valley over Zhelong Mountain."
"However, I advise you not to go."
"That place has been haunted by dead ghosts! People have even died!"
"Oh? Someone died before, how did he die?" Hu Ming was more or less curious and asked.
The proprietress shook her head and said, "I don't know, I just know that he died in the valley. When he was pulled out, he was dead!"
After listening to the boss lady's answer, Hu Ming nodded and didn't ask any more questions. The fat man chatted with the boss lady for a few more words.
In the room, Hu Ming took out the human skin map he got from Chen Xiazi and quickly marked two lines on it. These two routes also represented the two paths they could take now.
One is to go directly over Zhelong Mountain, but this route is a waste of time and energy.
As for the second way, according to the method the boss lady said yesterday, they can ride on bamboo rafts and cross the river at the foot of Zhelong Mountain.
"Mingzi, I think, why don't we be more conservative and go over the mountain?" Hu Bayi thought of what the landlady said just now, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, maybe there were some poisonous insects in the water, which affected them.
.
After hearing this, Hu Ming shook his head and said, "In that case, our speed will be much slower."
"Don't look at it as just a line on the map. In reality, it's more than ten times longer than taking the waterway!"
"And there are swamps on the mountain. If you don't see it, it's safe to go there." Hu Ming knew that neither of these roads was easy to walk.
However, in comparison, he knew what would happen on the waterway, but the mountain road was a little unpredictable.
After thinking about it, Hu Ming chose the water route. Although the proprietress was a little trembling, she was a nice person. Before they left, the proprietress specially prepared some dry food and insect-proof herbs for them.
The boss's daughter's face turned slightly red when she handed the thing to Hu Ming, as if the thing in her hand was a little hot, so she handed it to Hu Ming and ran away.
This scene was seen by Hu Bayi and three others.
Hu Bayi took the opportunity to tease with a smile and said: "Hey, it's okay, Mingzi, her charm is still the same as before!"
"How about bringing it with you?"
"It's not bad to be a guide on the road. You can also sing songs and dance during the break."
“You won’t be lonely once you’re on this road!”
Hu Ming put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it on the ground. He laughed and cursed: "You bastard, get out of here!"
Soon, Hu Ming and the others thanked the proprietress and officially set off. If they wanted to take the waterway, they had to get a bamboo raft first.
Hu Ming raised his head and glanced at the clouds in the sky, and immediately urged: "The sky is going to change, let's hurry up!"
Listen, Fatty and Lao Hu are not scornful at all.
At the base, the two of them were carrying machetes and chopping the largest bamboos in the bamboo forest. Yang Xueli was not idle either. She used a dagger to cut off the branches and leaves on the bamboos.
Hu Ming is responsible for tying them together tightly, so the division of labor and cooperation are very efficient.
After working hard for a while, Hu Bayi and Fatty were also tired.
"Okay, that's enough!"
At this moment, Hu Bayi also spoke up, telling them that the bamboo was enough and told them not to continue.
Hu Bayi wiped his sweat while watching how Hu Ming connected the bamboos together...
Hu Ming made slits in the pillars and buckled them one by one. Together with the ropes, they were very strong.
"Hey! Mingzi, why didn't I realize you were so versatile before?"
"As your brother, I don't know how you can do everything!"
After Hu Bayi took a sip of water, he looked at Hu Ming and said.
Hu Ming also smiled and said, "Old Hu, it's because you didn't pay attention. I know a lot, so I'm a little better than you!"
"Hey, I called you fat, and you still breathed!"
"How about it, can it be finished before dark?"
"Haha, you should remove the word "?", let's go, we can go into the water now."
"Now?"
"Stop making trouble, are you sure this bamboo raft is okay?"
"Get out!"
"I still have some confidence in this. Why, you can't trust me?"
"Hey, look at what you said, I just think you're going too fast."
At this moment, Hu Ming also knew that Hu Bayi was afraid that the bamboo raft would break up halfway.
Hu Ming explained that if this is to be used for a long time, this time is definitely not enough, but it is enough to use it once and for all! Pushing the bamboo raft into the water, it is indeed strong.
The fat man went up and tried it, "Mingzi is right, it's quite strong, come on up!"
Hu Bayi showed up and threw all the equipment up.
"Hurry up, hurry up, I can already feel a lot of bright weapons in front of me waving at me!" The fat man kept urging.
"What's the rush!"
"You can't escape such a big tomb!" The bamboo raft swam forward smoothly along the water.
Yang Xueli was also a little excited and said: "I don't care what obvious weapons you use, but don't forget the purpose of our operation."
"Haha, don't worry, I won't forget it."
"By the way, Hu Ming, Lao Hu, let's give this operation a codename. This will make it appear planned and remind us of our purpose."
The fat man waved his hand and said: "I'm talking to Staff Yang, this is in China, your foreign stuff won't work!"
"I think it's just called Operation Touch Mingqi."
"How about it? The purpose is strong enough!"
"Tacky!"
At this moment, Hu Bayi also joined in and said, "How about we just call Operation Muchen Zhu?"
"Or? Action to lift the curse?"
Hu Ming smiled and said: "I think our operation will be called Operation Butterfly."
"Hey! This is good!"
"Call it Operation Butterfly!"
Several people were talking, and unknowingly, the bamboo rafts followed the water flow and entered the cave of Zhelong Mountain. However, as soon as they entered, the surroundings fell into darkness...
