Chapter 405: Entering the Mountain to Pick Apples

Upon hearing this, Chen Xiaobei immediately responded, "Yes, it's like this during the day, and you can imagine it at night."

Liu Rumei also understood that Chen Xiaobei was still worried about Liu Ce and others going into the mountain to search for Zhu Meng's stragglers.

Of course, he has confidence in Liu Ce. Liu Ce has strong martial arts skills and methods, and he has many people, so there should be no accidents.

Chen Xiaobei was thinking about another level. He was still thinking about so many supplies on the mountain.

In particular, Shen Qiang told him that there was a large amount of supplies hidden on the other side of the iron cable bridge. Now that the iron cable bridge and the rope bridge were destroyed, there was no other way to get across but to rebuild the bridge.

Thinking of this, he turned his head and looked at Liu Rumei behind him, "Miss Liu..."

As soon as she opened her mouth, Liu Rumei raised her hand and interrupted, "There are no outsiders, why are we so different? Didn't I tell you? Just call me Rumei."

Well, Chen Xiaobei had to change his title, "Rumei, I want to go into the mountains in two days and rebuild the cable bridge over the canyon. What do you think?"

Liu Rumei was shocked when she heard this, and she immediately asked back, "You still want to go into the mountain."

"Yes, didn't I meet Shen Qiang that night? He told me that there were still a lot of supplies at the main peak."

"I was thinking that if these supplies are not transported down, wouldn't it be a waste if they are left on the mountain?"

"Besides, transporting these supplies to the prince will also solve his supply problem."

After hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Liu Rumei couldn't help but feel shocked.

Chen Xiaobei really thinks ahead than himself.

Having said that, the supplies on the mountain were all accumulated bit by bit by the people of Dacang Kingdom.

It would be a pity to waste it.

"Yes, transporting them to the front line can indeed solve big problems. Let's wait for Liu Ce to come back first and see how many manpower he can gather. Then we will allocate them."

Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "Two flowers bloomed, one on each side," "Tomorrow we will send people into the mountain. Da Chun'er and Da Yong all know the way, and the iron chain is left on the other side and can be pulled over to fix it. It is relatively simple." .”

According to Chen Xiaobei's idea, Liu Ce had brought so many people, and they would definitely leave traces on the main road or camp on the main road when entering the mountain, so Chen Dayong and the others would not be in too much danger when entering the mountain.

"It's so cold down the mountain. I'm worried that it will snow soon on the mountain. Then it will be very troublesome to transport it down."

It has to be said that Chen Xiaobei's worries are not unreasonable, and Liu Rumei nodded secretly.

"Okay, we'll arrange for people to go up there tomorrow."

The two of them discussed as they walked, and soon came to the apple forest.

About half of the huge forest has been cleared.

But even so, there were still more than a hundred trees with red fruits. Chen Xiaobei picked one and held it in his hand to observe carefully.

It's red and heavy, looks pretty good, and the apple leaves next to it are already a little dry.

Liu Rumei didn't care so much and picked it up herself.

Naturally, the dozen or so guards he brought with him could not remain idle.

The village protection team members were scrambling to pick it off. At this time, Chen Xiaobei spoke.

"Everyone, listen to me. Let's pick the big fruits first."

"Each person is responsible for two trees and picks the largest fruit first."

Liu Rumei opened her eyes wide in surprise and looked at Chen Xiaobei in confusion, "Why pick the big ones first? Wouldn't it be better to pick them all?"

Chen Xiaobei knows that in this era there may not be a concept of basket head.

So it was necessary to explain to Liu Rumei, "That's it, I think we should pick off the biggest one first, and then bring more people with us tomorrow, and try to pick off all the smaller ones."

"Then when we go to the county town to sell them, the large fruit with good quality can be sold at a high price."

Liu Rumei seemed to understand, but he still felt that Chen Xiaobei was right.

Large apples look good and will definitely fetch a high price.

Everyone immediately dispersed in private, and according to Chen Xiaobei's request, only the big ones were picked.

At this moment, someone suddenly shouted loudly, "Look, there are traces of many people eating here."

Chen Xiaobei and Liu Rumei rushed over, and sure enough there were a lot of fruit cores on the ground.

And it looks like it was thrown away just after eating.

Seeing this scene, Liu Rumei secretly tightened her heart. Since she had just thrown them away, it was most likely that she hid them because she saw them coming.

Obviously Chen Xiaobei also thought of this. He lowered his voice and said to Liu Rumei, "Let everyone be alert. I think this person has not gone far."

Liu Rumei nodded and walked over one by one to convey the news. Chen Xiaobei also passed the news to each village guard team member.

While everyone was picking fruits, they looked around cautiously, and finally Chen Xiaobei discovered the clue.

Not far from the apple tree are bushes.

Two finches flew over and landed in the bushes, but just as they were about to land, they suddenly chirped and flew away.

This means there is something going on in the bushes.

As for what can scare the birds away, there is only one explanation: someone is hiding inside.

Thinking of this, Chen Xiaobei pretended to pick fruits and came to Liu Rumei.

"Did you see the two birds just now? They looked like they were about to land in the bushes, but they flew away again. This means there is something going on in the bushes."

Liu Rumei nodded. In fact, she also saw the two birds just now. She didn't expect Chen Xiaobei to observe them so carefully.

"Okay, I'll take someone over to take a look."

Chen Xiaobei shook his head, "What if he hurts you?"

The sudden concern made Liu Rum's eyebrows warm.

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Liu Rumei waved and led Liu Ziming, who was closest to him, towards the bushes.

Chen Xiaobei subconsciously stopped moving and stared at them nervously.

Just when Liu Rumei was still three feet away from the bush, the bush suddenly shook, followed by several muffled sounds.

This was the movement of a serial crossbow, and Chen Xiaobei was very familiar with this movement.

Liu Rumei and others were highly concentrated. When they saw a serial crossbow being fired, they just turned slightly to avoid it. In the next moment, the three of them had risen into the air and swooped into the bushes like big birds.

Then there were two screams.

After the scream, two gray shadows rushed out of the bushes.

Not strictly speaking, it was thrown out.

Although they were a bit far away, Chen Xiaobei could still see that the two of them were wearing casual clothes, lying on the ground and wailing uncontrollably. It was obvious that they must have been beaten violently just now.

Then Liu Rumei put her hands behind her back and walked out of the bushes slowly.

Seeing her coming out, the two people on the ground seemed to have seen the body of some terrifying beast. They put their hands on the ground and took two steps back unconsciously.

"Who are you?" Liu Rumei asked.
