After meeting, Chen Xiaobei got straight to the point, "Dayong has taken people into the mountains for two days and they haven't come back yet."
"Hurry up and organize the manpower, let's go into the mountain and take a look."
Taking advantage of the time to organize people at the beginning of winter, Chen Xiaobei turned around and ran home. He also had to make arrangements at home.
When he got home, he packed his things and arranged Cui Hongyu's most important things.
Tomorrow morning, he has to go to Xiaojia Town to deliver apples to Feng Xiaoyue. Cui Hongyu needs to take Chen Qiaoer with him to do this. After all, this is his own housework, and it is not appropriate to let Chen Xiaobo go all the time.
Just in case, he also told Cui Hongyu alone that Liu Rumei would send two people to accompany him tomorrow, and he must listen to him on this matter.
The other thing is to go to the county town to deliver apples to Lao Wu.
Old Wu Cui Hongyu has met him once, so this is naturally not a problem.
Furthermore, I have decided not to come back tonight, and there are many village protection team members who have to go into the mountains.
Therefore, the village's defense was weak, and they had to go to Yang Zhi and Liu Rumei to ask for support.
When they met Liu Rumei, Chen Xiaobei explained his purpose straight to the point. When he heard that he was going into the mountain, Liu Rumei was still very surprised, "Xiaobei, Liu Ce and the others just brought people into the mountain two days ago, why are you going again?"
Xiaobei hesitated for a moment, but finally chose to lie, "Oh, I just found out today that someone in the village secretly went into the mountains two days ago. He said he wanted to go into the mountains to dig herbs and never came back. I'm not allowed to go in and take a look."
Liu Rumei had no doubts about his statement. After all, it was normal for villagers to dig medicine into the mountains, and he was also the beneficiary of Chen Xiaobei's digging.
"Okay, you can go into the mountains without worries. I will fill the manpower shortage in the Houcun team. I will personally accompany Hong Yu to Xiaojia Town tomorrow."
With Liu Rumei's promise, Chen Xiaobei can go into the mountain with peace of mind.
Chen Xiaobei and Lidong gathered more than a dozen people this time.
Chen Xiaobei filled his large water bladder with two full bottles of water and asked two people to carry it on their backs, and then someone else carried dry food on their backs.
Also bring some fruits that you have left at home. These can not only satisfy hunger but also replenish water at critical moments.
Of course, there will be no shortage of serial crossbows and torches.
Walking along the mountain road, Chen Xiaobei remembered his thoughts again a while ago.
A while ago, I thought about building a few thunderbolts. If I encounter any danger on the mountain, I can release them at night so that they can be seen at the bottom of the mountain. It seems that this matter must be done quickly.
Everyone was familiar with the road and soon arrived at the mountain temple.
Chen Xiaobei asked everyone to stop and rest for a while before leaving.
Lidong came over and tried to ask, "Brother Xiaobei, how about we shout a few times, maybe they can hear us nearby."
Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "No, there are people from Da Laohei and Liu Rumei on this mountain. If something goes wrong, we will be very embarrassed."
Thinking about it, wouldn't it be too embarrassing if Liu Ce and the others responded to someone else's words?
Lidong thought that Chen Xiaobei was right, so he had to give up.
After a short rest, Chen Xiaobei still only asked the people in front to light the torch, and followed in turn.
We walked to Yuexingxingxi in one breath. It seemed that it was past midnight. Everyone was a little unable to walk. Think about it. They worked all day during the day and left again at night. Who could bear it in the middle of the night?
.
Chen Xiaobei could clearly feel the team's march slowing down, and he knew it was time to find a place to rest.
"Brother Lidong, I remember that there is a forest not far ahead. Let's take a rest there and wait until dawn."
As soon as they heard that they could rest, everyone's mood was somewhat lifted.
Chen Xiaobei's suggestion was correct. There was indeed a forest not far ahead. After entering, everyone almost fell asleep without even having time to say a few words.
But Chen Xiaobei didn't feel much sleepiness.
What repeatedly appeared in his mind was the image of Chen Dayong's white-haired old lady kneeling down to him. This image made him feel distressed. It was because he was careless. In the future, he must not send only one person into the mountain, but at least two people together. No.
Two people are not enough, even more, at least three or four people are needed.
It also had to be equipped with a serial crossbow. I didn't think about it at the time. Chen Dayong accompanied Da Laohei and others into the mountains unarmed.
But another very practical problem is that I only have ten serial crossbows. If I go into the mountains with such equipment, ten serial crossbows will not be enough.
Besides, looking at Liu Rumei's posture, she must have been in trouble and ran to me to take refuge. It would be difficult to get the serial crossbow again, so she could only think of other ways.
With random thoughts, Chen Xiaobei fell asleep for a while and was woken up by a burst of rapid shouting.
The one who called him was Lidong.
"Brother Xiaobei, look."
When Chen Xiaobei opened his eyes, he realized that the sky was already bright. The sun was shining on the treetops. Thinking about it, the terrain here was high, so of course it was brighter than the sky below the mountain.
Looking in the direction of Lidong's finger, there was a colorful light flashing in the thin mist ahead.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xiaobei suddenly remembered something. The last two times he took people into the mountains to build the cable bridge, he seemed to have seen this scene, also on the top of the hill far ahead.
Because it is not the way to the top of the mountain, I have never been there, and the images that appeared one after another aroused Chen Xiaobei's curiosity again.
Yes, you have to find a chance to see it.
This strange scene lasted for about ten or twenty minutes and then disappeared. Everyone looked at it strangely. The scene was gone and they naturally lost interest.
Li Dong took the opportunity to say, "Okay, okay, everyone, hurry up and eat. After eating, we will move on."
As he was talking, he heard someone shouting loudly, "Look, isn't that Dayong?"
Chen Xiaobei rushed out of the woods and looked at the wall in the distance. Several black spots were coming towards him. The one walking in front looked like Dayong.
Lidong immediately turned to Chen Xiaobei and said, "You guys wait here, I'll go up and have a look."
Chen Xiaobei nodded and sat down, quickly eating a few mouthfuls of food.
After a short effort, Lidong came back with Dayong, and behind Dayong were the eldest boss Hei Yang Chun and others.
Da Laohei seemed very happy to see Chen Xiaobei, so he started fighting all the way away, haha, "Brother Xiaobei, why did you come into the mountains too?"
Chen Xiaobei could only tell the truth, "It's because you haven't gone down the mountain for two days. I'm a little worried and can't bear to bring people up to have a look. I didn't expect to meet you here."
Da Laohei cupped his fists and said, "Thank you brother Xiaobei for your concern. We circled the top of the mountain twice and wasted some time."
Yes, from this road to the top of the mountain, the places that can be passed by in the entire Qingniu Mountain are just a drop in the bucket, and there are many more unknown places that have not been visited before.
Recall that Da Laohei was so dedicated to Qingniu Mountain a while ago, so there is nothing wrong with going around a few more times.
