Ten diligent days: the fields are still

The villagers soaked the red envelopes in water with various spices. He had a bad feeling in his heart: would these people eat him?

Hongbao was spinning around in the water anxiously, and the chain around his neck was getting tighter and tighter around him.

"Woof woof woof!" It's over now.

Most of the villagers were guarding the fire and preparing dinner. Some of them found a big pot from somewhere and placed it on the fire with wooden sticks.

"This group of monsters has occupied Cangkong Mountain for many years. The imperial court has tried to suppress them many times but failed. I didn't expect to encounter them this time. The Lu family is indeed a family of monster fighters. This medicine is really effective. With this hundred gold, we don't have to worry about this winter."

"But I think these monsters are obviously a little slow tonight. If it were in the past, they would have run away long ago."

"We have to be vigilant against those minions coming to rescue people tonight. We will form groups of three and take turns to keep watch."

The water in the pot began to boil. A villager walked up to Hong Bao with a machete, cut the chain, and was about to swing the machete when suddenly the brothers rushed out of the house.

"Little boy, save the red envelope!"

The child pushed the villagers aside, moved forward, fished the red envelope out of the water, and picked up some clothes on the ground to wrap the red envelope.

The other brothers had to fight with the villagers and the fight was fierce.

"Everyone, please be careful! Don't get beaten to death!" Dun Dun still remembered not to get involved in a murder case at this time.

The younger brother and Xiao He stood back to back, punching the people who surrounded them to the ground. "Brother, I can't control myself!"

Yuan Lai and An An hid behind the haystack, watching the show intently and occasionally kicking out any villagers who came too close.

The little boy, holding the red envelope, avoided the siege of several villagers and ran to the door. Just as he was about to open the door, he was frightened by the flying torch and fell on the steps.

Many people came in from outside and immediately started fighting with the villagers.

A bearded man holding an iron fork helped the child up and said, "Fourth King, why are you sitting on the ground? Get up quickly."

The man with the mustache was a man of higher status. He waved his fork around and said, "Brothers, quick victory! Rescue the king and we'll retreat!"

The soldiers snatched people from the villagers and rescued all ten people to the door.

When the mustache boy saw Yuan Lai and An An hiding behind the haystack, his eyes lit up. "These two are beautiful. Take them back to the village!"

Several soldiers rushed over excitedly, pulled Yuan Lai and An An out, tied them up with hemp ropes, and carried them on their shoulders.

"Retreat!" The man with the mustache gave the order, and many rat-men carrying sedan chairs appeared from nowhere. They had rat heads and human bodies, and looked very scary.

Ten people plus Yuan Lai and An An were forcibly carried into sedan chairs and headed to the stronghold that the mustache man mentioned.

Along the way, Xiao Huzi was extremely flattering to Yiheng, feeding him fruits and snacks continuously, and even fanning Yiheng himself.

Shaoxi was indignant, "Why are you so special? You are the first to enjoy the treatment that even my elder brother doesn't have."

Xiao He also couldn't stand it, "This little mustache guy is a bit stupid. Big brother is still behind us. What's the point of flattering this kid?"

"Yiheng, do you have any shame?!" Yuan'er yelled.

A soldier picked up a leaf and fanned Yuan'er with it, "Fifth King, don't be angry. I'm here to fan you."

"Yuan'er, why does he call you the Fifth King? If you are the fifth, then who am I?"

Yibo felt uncomfortable sitting in the sedan chair, but he didn't dare to look at the rat-man carrying the sedan chair. He closed his eyes and held on to the edge of the sedan chair.

"The situation is very clear. My younger brother is the eldest here, and Yuan'er is the fifth. Isn't this clear? It's reversed, and the eldest brother becomes the youngest." Gengyun raised his head and stubbornly refused to look at those minions.

"Where's the second brother? Why isn't he talking?"

"You haven't been frightened to death, have you?"

Yuan Lai looked at his second brother who had fainted in the sedan chair and couldn't help laughing. His second brother, who was afraid of everything, had indeed chosen to escape.

The team walked for about four torches and finally stopped in front of a luxurious-looking village.

"Open the door quickly! We have rescued the kings!" The man with a mustache shook the big bell at the door, and the bell made a deep sound.

There was a sudden earthquake, and many soldiers opened the village gate to welcome them into the village.

The soldiers lined up on both sides, all looked like human beings and were not too scary.

"Welcome, Your Majesty! Welcome, Your Majesty!"

The rat man carried them to the front of a huge cave, then instantly turned into little rats and ran away without a trace.

Yuan Lai and An An were about to be taken to other places when Dun Dun urgently stopped them, "Leave them here."

The man with a mustache looked at Yiheng first.

Yiheng acted like a leader, "Why are you looking at me? Just do whatever he says!"

"Okay." The man with a small mustache directed the untying of Yuan Lai and An An, and then quickly retreated.

They stood in front of the cave, feeling somewhat at a loss. Once they went in, would they ever be able to come out?

These people must have recognized the wrong person.

What if they find out and try to silence them?

Haohao poked the guard's face with his hand, "Who's in there?"

The guard knelt down hurriedly and replied, "Reporting to the Seven Kings, inside are the Four Dharma Protectors, the Eight Vajra Kings, and the twelve zodiac guardian beasts."

The brothers were all confused, looking at each other, and no one dared to take the first step.

In the end, An An was the first to walk, and they followed An An into the cave.

The cave was pitch black, and you couldn't see your hand in front of you.

When all of them entered the cave, the cave suddenly shook violently, and a door carved from a whole stone fell from above, cutting off their retreat.

The lights then came on, revealing the interior of the cave.

Unlike the sloppy outside, the inside of the cave is extremely large, as if it was dug out by hollowing out the entire mountain.

The road was golden, and Yuan Lai thought it was paved with gold. When he bent down to take a closer look, he found that the road was paved with various golden leaves.

There was a gurgling stream under the road, with small fish jumping in it. Several soldiers were fishing in the stream with forks. When they saw a few people, they stopped, knelt on the spot to salute, then stood up and continued their actions.

At the end of the road was a grand hall with brilliant lanterns and walls. In the center of the hall, a large tree rose from the ground, completely obscuring the hall. Many weathered snake skins hung from the tree.

An An pulled Yuan Lai around the snake skin and moved forward carefully.

"This tree is so thick. Do you think the five of us can surround it hand in hand?"

"I don't know. Let's talk less for a while."

Walking around the big tree, there were four people sitting inside. I guess they were the four Dharma protectors that the man with a mustache mentioned.

I just didn’t see the Eight Vajras and the Twelve Guardian Beasts.

The four men looked older, with gray hair. They were all wearing skull-shaped hats, so their appearance could not be seen clearly.

The four people sat upright and showed no intention of getting up when they saw them come in.
