Chapter 122: Chen Xiaobei Enters the Mountain Again
Hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Raldo was stunned. He suddenly opened his eyes, "Who are you?"
Chen Xiaowen, who was next to him, immediately yelled at him, "Who are we? We are your saviors. Without us, brother Xiaobei, your brother Yang Zhi would have died long ago, and you would not be alive."
Instead of being annoyed by Chen Xiaowen's words, Lardo seemed very anxious, "Well, what about Brother Yang Zhi, where has he gone?"
Chen Xiaobei looked at Lardo, sighed slightly, and said in a deep voice, "Frankly speaking, I don't know where he went. When he left yesterday, he said that he suspected that you were betrayed by someone to find the real murderer.
"
Raldo's eyes immediately widened, his expression full of grief and anger, "Oh, there's no need to check, isn't that obvious? The person who harmed us is Liu Rumei, who kept urging us to go into the mountain, I knew it was nothing
It's a good thing, I didn't expect this woman to be so cruel."
Chen Xiaobei did not agree with his point of view. If Liu Rumei betrayed Laldo and the others, there would be no need to go to the mountain a second time.
This further proves that Sun Jian and Liu Rumei are not the same group.
Laldo struggled to sit up, but was held down by Chen Xiaobei, "Your legs are broken. Take good care of them. You won't be able to get out of bed in three or two months."
Raldo lowered his head and saw that his legs had been covered with thick herbal medicine. A look of gratitude instantly appeared on his face, "Thank you for saving me. I haven't asked you your name yet."
Chen Xiaobei smiled calmly, "Just call me Chen Xiaobei. You have a good rest here first. My people will take care of you three times a day."
For no other reason than to give Yang Zhi so much money, he also had to take good care of this Lardo.
When Chen Xiaobei returned home, Lidong came over again. Lidong's idea was obviously a bit beyond Chen Xiaobei's expectation, "Brother Xiaobei, when will we organize people to go to the mountains to dig up that ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum?"
What he said reminded Chen Xiaobei, but what Chen Xiaobei was thinking about was not Hulu Valley.
It was the ginseng plants that Da Laohei and the others discovered together, yes, the ones guarded by big snakes.
He raised his head and looked at the sky. If he went into the mountain now, he would be familiar with the road. Two days would be enough. He would leave today and return tomorrow.
After hearing his thoughts, Lidong looked incredulous, "Is it worth going into the mountains for two days just for a few ginseng plants?"
Chen Xiaobei had no choice but to start painting the pie, "Not only are there ginseng, but there are also several big snakes. It is said that the snakes can be sold at a good price in the county."
After listening to his words, Lidong looked excited, "Really? Can snakes be sold at high prices?"
Chen Xiaobei didn't know whether snakes could be sold at a high price, but snake meat was really delicious. If he couldn't sell it, he would eat it himself.
When he told Cui Hongyu again that he wanted to go into the mountain, Cui Hongyu behaved very calmly. Now Cui Hongyu is used to Chen Xiaobei going into the mountain.
Chen Xiaobei gave Cui Hongyu the map of the route into the mountain that he had drawn, and told her that if she did not come back after three days, she should follow this road if she wanted to enter the mountain. She would not be able to find it if she looked around.
, those 80% will never come back.
Cui Hongyu entered the room, wrapped some dried meat that Liu Rumei had given them at that time, and handed it to Chen Xiaobei's hand.
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and found the large water bag used to sell fish.
Two people will stay in the mountains for two days, so they must bring enough water.
This water bladder is enough. Although it is a bit hard to carry, it is practical.
Besides water, the most important thing is the serial crossbow. This thing is a life-saving means.
Everything was ready. Chen Xiaobei took Lidong with him. The two were familiar with the road and soon arrived at the mountain temple. From the foot of the mountain to the mountain temple, Chen Xiaobei could walk very fast with his eyes closed. There were turns and steep corners.
, where it is flat is all in his mind.
When they arrived at the mountain temple, they stopped to drink water and take a short rest.
Chen Xiaobei accidentally turned his head and saw a pile of unburnt branches in the corner next to him.
This is definitely new. Chen Xiaobei was doubtful, so he stepped forward to pick up a branch and gently touched the ashes on it with his hand.
The ashes are still very dry, so they must have been newly burned. After all, the humidity on the mountain is too heavy. If they were left over from the past two days, the ashes would have been wet long ago.
In other words, someone set a fire here this past night.
Chen Xiaobei's heart skipped a beat. First of all, exclude the big boss. If the big boss comes, he will definitely look for him.
It's not very likely that Liu Rumei is there, after all, she just came yesterday.
Then there is only one possibility: Sun Jian.
After all, Sun Jian had not come to see me for several days to take him into the mountains. Compared with the previous two days when he couldn't wait any longer, this was indeed a bit abnormal.
Throwing down the branch, Chen Xiaobei turned to Lidong and said, "Someone has been here, we have to be careful."
Chen Xiaobei's inference was correct. Someone had indeed come, and it was Sun Jian who came.
Seeing the frightened birds at the foot of the mountain, Sun Jian knew that someone had entered the mountain. They hurriedly cleaned the scene and then hid in the bamboo forest behind the mountain temple.
Watching Chen Xiaobei and Lidong continue to walk up the mountain, Sun Gui breathed out, "Brother, Chen Xiaobei goes to the mountain every three days, why?"
"Why else? It must be for the ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum in the valley. We can find them even more."
Sun Jian waited for another half an hour before leading everyone up the mountain.
In order not to arouse Lidong's suspicion, Chen Xiaobei even stopped at some forks in the road to observe. Of course, there was no need to deliberately take the wrong road.
After walking until the sun was slightly west, the two of them arrived at the canyon.
Lidong was shocked when he saw that the canyon, which was more than ten feet wide, was bottomless.
"Did you really get across with just a rope?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded. He stepped forward, grabbed the rope and pulled it hard a few times, first checking the safety of the two ropes.
Then he took out a piece of rope from the baggage and tied one end to his waist, and the other end to the iron ring, just like what he did that day.
"Brother Lidong, let me demonstrate it to you first, and then you can follow my example."
This time Chen Xiaobei learned the lesson. He took off the baggage and hung it on the rope, which made it much easier.
Watching Chen Xiaobei move to the other side little by little, Lidong's eyes widened and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time.
How is the rope pulled up over such a long distance?
This was far beyond Lidong's knowledge and he couldn't think of it.
It took almost two quarters of an hour for Chen Xiaobei to climb over.
Standing on the other side, Chen Xiaobei waved to Lidong.
Lidong followed suit and took off his baggage. His baggage was much heavier. Just a large water bag weighed twenty kilograms.
Fortunately, he had served as a soldier and had a good foundation, so after climbing a few feet he gradually got used to it and his speed increased.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei's attention was all on Lidong, but he did not notice that Sun Jian and others had also arrived at the scene. They hid behind a pile of rubble, and were shocked when they saw the two people crossing the natural chasm in this way.
shocked.
Sun Gui's eyes widened, "How did they do it? How did they set up the rope when it was more than ten feet away?"
Sun Ce also sighed, "If we had had this thing that day, we wouldn't have been besieged by wolves."
