Seeing everyone's laziness, Ma Xiaoyi did not dare to delay for a moment.
Because he knew that this lazy look was just an act to delay himself so that he could examine the bushes clearly.
His hunched body was darting back and forth among the trees, and finally he made a discovery.
There is a pile of fallen leaves in front, and there is an obvious pit in the middle of the fallen leaves.
It looks like marks from being crushed by a heavy object.
Moreover, there were no new fallen leaves in the areas that had been pressed, which indicated that the time of pressing was very short. In other words, someone had stayed here not long before they came.
So there is only one possibility of being able to penetrate deep into the hinterland of Qingniu Mountain, and that is Sun Jian.
After reaching this conclusion, Ma Xiaoyi became more relaxed. He came to Chen Xiaobei's side and whispered, "Brother Xiaobei, it's time for us to work. Finish it and go back quickly. There is an ambush behind you. Don't tell everyone. You
And don’t always look behind you.”
Chen Xiaobei nodded. When he heard that there was an ambush, he was more anxious than anyone else because the terrain here was dangerous. He knew very well that if someone was really ambushing him here, he would definitely be doomed.
Chen Xiaobei was silent for a while before he stood up and shouted to everyone calmly, "Okay, okay, it's almost time to rest. Get up and work. Finish your work and hurry down the mountain.
If anyone is willing to stay on the mountain for two more nights, then you can sleep a little longer."
After hearing what Chen Xiaobei said, everyone burst into laughter, and everyone stood up and started working on the bridge. Ma Xiaoyi took the opportunity to get close to Chen Xiaobei and whispered, "Can you think of a way to walk further in?"
Xiaobei stood at the bridge and thought for a long time, and finally nodded.
He clapped his hands at Ma Xiaoyi, who was pretending to be working, "Master Ma, come with me. There is a forest in front of you. See if you can get some boards from there."
Ma Xiaoyi pretended to agree, and the two of them started walking forward along the mountain road one after the other.
As he walked, Chen Xiaobei thought in his mind that the maximum he could reach to the dogwood forest would be the limit, and there would be no wood beyond that.
After walking for more than half an hour, Chen Xiaobei looked at the dogwood forest in front of him. Chen Xiaobei quickly turned around and asked Ma Xiaoyi who was following him, "Did you see it clearly? Is there anything wrong? There is no wood after this forest."
Already."
Ma Xiaoyi nodded slightly and raised his voice deliberately, "Brother Xiaobei, these trees are too thin, I'm afraid it will be difficult to use them!"
"Hey, just use it as thin as you can. It's much easier than carrying it up from the mountain."
"Okay, then chop some off and use them first."
There was nothing wrong with the conversation between the two.
Although I was acting here, I also reminded Chen Xiaobei that although the wood of these dogwood forests is thin, it only needs to be long enough. Cutting it from here and fixing it to the bridge is much easier than carrying it up the mountain.
No flaws were revealed, which was the greatest success. The two walked around in the dogwood forest. Ma Xiaoyi pretended to cut a few pieces of wood and said he wanted to take it back and experiment.
By the time the two of them came back, the sun was already setting in the west, and the people at the scene had fixed only a dozen or so wooden boards, and at least half of them were still unfinished.
At this time, Chen Xiaobei was a little confused about where to stay. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to stay away from danger and took Ma Xiaoyi and the others to the bridge. They retreated to the woods where they stayed when the cable bridge was built.
And just after they left the Iron Chain Bridge, Sun Jian and Shi Yan appeared quietly.
"Brother, these are all mountain people here, why are you so nervous!" Shi Yan couldn't help but ask.
He smiled slightly for an instant, and then snorted coldly from his nostrils, "Can you guarantee that there are no spies from Liu Rumei here?"
Shi Yan was stunned for a moment, then he clasped his fists and said to Sun Jian, "Brother is right, good advice, good advice."
In response to his compliment, Sun Jian laughed and said, "Okay, we have to retreat down quickly and stay away from them, waiting for Sima Daxia and his companions to come up tomorrow."
As night falls, Hetou Village becomes busy.
Liu Ce and Ma Biao hurriedly arrived with people, and the people locked up in the cave today were moved. Lidong breathed a long sigh of relief after listening to Liu Rumei's explanation.
No matter how you say it, not being in the village is ultimately beneficial to them.
The only one who is not very happy can only be said to be Yang Zhi.
He doesn't really want to leave Hetou Village, he mainly wants to take revenge.
After going to Centipede Ridge, if you want to take revenge, you can only rely on fate.
Liu Rumei obviously saw through his thoughts. She looked solemn and promised him word for word, "Don't worry, if I catch Sun Jian, I will definitely hand him over to you and let you deal with it."
With his promise, Yang Zhi happily led his men to Centipede Ridge.
However, the Suzaku Gang had to leave their new house just after it was built, so everyone still had complaints.
But that's good, Liu Rumei's men don't have to crowd around, and it's just right to live in this new house.
And with these new houses, Liu Ce can bring people over again, and the power of Liu Rumei's men has been enhanced.
We walked for most of the night from Hetou Village to Centipede Ridge. The main reason was that Sun Jian and his group were still blindfolded, so they walked slower.
But when Yang Zhi led people into Centipede Ridge, there was movement in the village.
Chen Ermao hid in this cottage all night by himself. He was already on tenterhooks and couldn't sleep well. Now that he heard such a big noise at the bottom of the mountain, he was even more frightened and thought he was here to find him.
Quickly find a corner to hide.
Because of Yang Chun's presence, Yang Zhi and the others quickly became familiar with the village and found the large prison in Centipede Ridge. It was also a stone cave, similar to the one in Hetou Village.
As for Xiong Fei, he chose another room.
Nail all the doors and windows so that people inside can't escape even if they have wings.
As for Raldo, he was carried by everyone and put into Da Laohei's former residence.
After everything was arranged, Ma Biao, Liu Ce and Yang Zhi parted ways.
Seeing them walking away, Yang Chun next to him spoke, "Lao Wu, I'm familiar with this place. Arrange a few people for me and I'll cook for you."
The two of them were talking here, when suddenly there was a noise over there, and then someone hurried over and said to Yang Zhi, "Gang Leader Yang arrested a child in front of him."
Soon Chen Ermao was brought to Yang Zhi.
When he saw Chen Ermao, Yang Chun couldn't help shouting, "Are you Chen Ermao?"
Seeing Yang Chun and Chen Ermao, they were less frightened, "Uncle Yang Chun, it's me, I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Yang Chun raised his hand and patted his shoulder, "Okay, kid, don't be afraid."
After saying that, he turned to look at Yang Zhi, "This is Da Laohei's nephew."
