Ten diligent days: the fields are still

Early that morning, Li Hao, He Haonan and Lu Zhuo changed their clothes and planned to go to a nearby town to buy some daily necessities.

Zhuangzhuang asked them to find out whether Lu Zizhou was still outside Cangkong Mountain.

As soon as the three people left, many animals in the mountains became extremely agitated.

Hongbao jumped up and down and barked anxiously.

"What's going on here?"

Zhuangzhuang stood on the top of the mountain and observed, then said calmly, "It's probably going to be an earthquake."

?

Is it right to be so calm?

"Brother, should we go out and hide?"

"Yeah, earthquakes in this mountain are no joke. It would be so unfair if they crushed us to death."

"Pack your things and run!"

After everyone packed up their things and walked outside Cangkong Mountain, they saw a large number of soldiers outside.

Chu Liangguo actually camped outside the mountain.

Are ten of them really worth exterminating like this? They've even been sent to the army. This is outrageous.

Zhuangzhuang climbed up the tree and sighed, "In ancient times, when the mountains moved, strange treasures appeared. These people came here for the treasures."

Oh, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately it was not to encircle and suppress them.

Within half a day, many people gathered outside Cangkong Mountain, including some they were familiar with.

"This road is blocked tightly, how can we escape?"

"If you go out, you'll die. If you don't go out, you'll die too. You'll die anyway."

"Have you ever heard the saying that there are people in this world who look exactly like you, but the two will never meet in their entire lives. If they do, one of them will die immediately. Look, if we see someone here who looks like us, won't we die immediately?"

"There is always a way out. How can we defend such a huge mountain? Let's find another way."

They avoided the most crowded places outside, found new ways out.

"I hope it won't be too shocking when the three of them come back."

They walked cautiously in the mountains and forests. Suddenly, the ground beneath their feet began to tremble slightly. It was not very obvious at first, but as time went on, the vibration became more and more violent.

"Oh my god, this is too fast!"

"Don't just stand there, find a place to hide!"

Everyone looked around in panic, looking for a place to hide.

"Squat down, don't stand!" someone reminded.

At this moment, a loud rumbling sound came from underground, as if some treasure was really breaking through the ground.

"Could this be an active volcano?"

"I..." Yuan Lai was about to speak when he suddenly felt the stones under his feet crack. Caught off guard, he lost his balance and rolled down the hillside.

"Yuan Lai!" The other brothers exclaimed in surprise upon seeing this.

However, before they could rescue Yuan Lai, an even stronger tremor struck, trees fell, and debris rolled down like raindrops.

The brothers were also affected by this powerful force and could not stand firmly. They rolled down like a snowball along with the fallen trees and rubble.

"Ah ah ah ah ah!"

"boom!"

Are you going to fall to death?

This feeling of falling is so familiar. It seems like I have fallen from somewhere before.

where?

Oh, yes, it’s stairs, narrow stairs.

Yuan Lai seemed to have a flashback in her near-death experience, and fragments of memory were pieced together in front of her like slides.

She saw herself and Yuan Sheng riding electric bikes among the crowd, and Qi Rong's face became clear on the motor vehicle lane very close to them.

She saw herself walking up the stairs with the little orange cat in her arms, and then she tumbled down. Outside the pet shop, Qi Rong rushed in worriedly and walked over to her body.

She saw herself transformed into a cat, walking in the courtyard behind the steep gate, which had been completely transformed. Qi Rong was watching over her unconscious self in the hospital. Song Qiyuan was holding Yun'er and talking nonstop beside her.

She saw Qi Rong cut open her chest and took out a piece of bone. The bone turned into a jade ring and was placed around her neck.

She saw that she was almost strangled to death by Kanxia, ​​and her brothers chased Kanxia with slippers, while Qi Rong and Kanxia fought in the pond.

She saw herself turned into a kitten, unconscious, the little girl named Lily, and Fu Yunqing, who was in a vegetative state, all appearing in the same hospital.

She saw herself being captured by the shrine and taken to the wooden house on Mount Wang, where her stomach was cut open and the Li Dan was taken out. After being rescued, she watched a brilliant display of fireworks.

She saw a group of people surrounding Qingtian, who was lost in thought, staring at the pictures of his brothers on the wall. Finally, Qingtian pushed her away.

She saw the dream shadows behind her brothers, the long red line behind herself, the clear sky with a group of fathers and daughters appearing at Houdoumen, and the fire that filled the sky at Houdoumen.

She actually forgot so many things.

The pain in his body interrupted the slideshow of memories, and Yuan Lai bumped heavily into the stone statue.

Blood flowed down his forehead and dripped onto the stone statue.

She looked up and saw that the stone statue in front of her had four deep cracks caused by the impact.

After getting used to the pain in his body, Yuan Lai stood up and realized that he was back in the cave and the Yunxiao tree was still there.

There were inexplicably many stone statues in the cave, arranged neatly and in an orderly manner.

"Ahhhhhhh, get out of the way! Get out of the way!"

"Ouch, my shoes!"

The brothers screamed and tumbled down, landing in the cave, raising fragments of withered yellow leaves.

The red envelope flew down from mid-air, but Zhuangzhuang grabbed its legs in time to prevent it from hitting the stone statue.

"Fortunately, I'm agile."

"Ouch, my waist." Zhao Yibo climbed up from the ground tremblingly, and in the process swept the leaves off Chen Shaoxi, who was closest to him.

Chen Shaoxi was obviously stunned after the fall, standing there with his eyes wide open.

Li Gengyun pushed Wang Yiheng off of him and said thankfully, "Fortunately, I'm still alive."

Zhao Xiaotong lay on the stone, gasping for breath, with tears glistening in his eyes.

Zhuo Yuan emerged from the branches of the Cloud Tree and asked, "Why am I the only one on the tree?"

Everyone gradually gathered together, looking at each other strangely, confirming the headcount.

"Where's my brother?" Wang Yiheng kicked a pile of leaves nearby, kicking a piece of gravel away.

The stone fell into a corner, and Jiang Dunhao's voice came, "Ouch!"

Everyone rushed over and saw Jiang Dunhao's whole body submerged in water.

Li Gengyun and Chen Shaoxi pulled Jiang Dunhao ashore. "Brother, we were so scared! I'm glad you're okay!"

This time, everyone fell pretty hard. Although it wasn't fatal, it was really painful.

Fortunately, the bags were all tied to my body and were not lost at all.

Everyone took out the powder for treating skin injuries and applied it to the affected area, then tore off the cloth strips and tied them up like bandages.

A hissing sound suddenly arose.

Wang Yiheng covered his arm and looked at Chen Shaoxi warily, "Are you reliable? Or let Brother Gengyun do it for me!"

"Brother, your brother Gengyun is too busy to take care of you!" Chen Shaoxi pointed at Zhao Xiaotong, "Why don't you let Brother Tong come over?"

"Then let Brother Tong come." Wang Yiheng's eyes were firm.

Chen Shaoxi smiled helplessly, "Am I really so untrustworthy? Huh?"

Zhao Xiaotong took the medicine and bandaged the wounded slowly, "You know, this is the consequence of being skin-destroying."

Li Gengyun bandaged the scratch on Jiang Dunhao's leg and applied medicine on Zhuo Yuan's back. His hands were bright red, and no one knew whose blood it was.

"Fortunately, those three are not here, and we still have healthy people." Jiang Dunhao looked at the room full of wounded people and couldn't help but think of the small team that had gone out. He wondered if they could still come back into the mountains.

Zhao Yibo applied medicine to his wound and carefully observed the stone statue.

"Could this thing be the treasure those people outside are waiting for?"

Zhuo Yuan touched the patterns on the stone statue and marveled, "This carving is incredible, even worse than mine."

"With so many stone statues, this cave hasn't collapsed." Li Gengyun is very satisfied with the cave construction. "This shows that this is the safest place."

Yuan Lai looked at the stone statues, and the more he looked at them, the more they resembled different animals. He counted them and found there were thirteen in total.

"The Twelve Zodiac Signs!" The brothers who shared the brain walked around the stone statue and said the conclusion in unison.

"Look, isn't this it? Rat, ox, tiger, rabbit, dragon, snake, horse, sheep, monkey, chicken, dog, pig."

"There's another one. What is this?" Wang Yiheng looked at the statue and then at Yuan Lai, very curious. "Look, does this person look like Yuan Lai?"

Yuan Lai didn't think it looked similar. It was just a carved human face, how could it possibly look like her?

Just as everyone was trying to identify the faces of the stone statues, the only statue collapsed with a loud bang, cracks appeared on its surface, and it completely broke into four pieces.

Hong Bao sat motionless in front of a stone statue. Zhuang Zhuang squatted beside it, their heads close together as they whispered, "Do you think this looks like you or me? I think it looks like you. After all, I'm so handsome and elegant, a stone carving can't even remotely resemble me."

Hongbao bit Zhuangzhuang's hand, expressing his anger with actions.

Zhuangzhuang looked at the bloody hole on his hand and said indifferently, "You're so young, but you have such a bad temper. Are they spoiling you?"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

While the other brothers were still studying the statues, Chen Shaoxi had already single-handedly moved the stone blocking the cave entrance. "I find these statues strange. How could so many of them appear out of nowhere, and yet this cave is intact? How did they do that?"

"Yeah, the ground was shaking outside, but this place wasn't affected at all." Zhao Yi Bo rushed over to help.

When light came into the cave, they saw that everyone was covered in blood.

The earthquake outside had ended. Everyone came out of the cave and saw people everywhere on the opposite mountain.

It seems that they all came to the mountains to look for treasure.

I just don't know why, these people are wandering around nearby, but it seems that they can't be seen.

Zhuangzhuang explained, "There is a barrier in this mountain."

Wow, doesn't that mean it's incredibly safe here? As long as we can solve the problem of supplies, this place will truly be a paradise.

Li Gengyun gestured in the air with his hands. "Hey, look, it would be great if we could build a gate here and put up some fences around it."

Zhao Yibo laughed and said, "What? Do you still want to be the king of the mountain?"

Wang Yiheng suddenly had an idea and lay down behind Jiang Dunhao, "Okay, okay, I must be the big brother when the time comes!"

Jiang Dunhao smiled and said nothing.

"You're dreaming. Why do you have the right to be the big brother? I don't accept it." Zhuo Yuan and Chen Shaoxi pulled Wang Yiheng down together and clamped his hands.

Zhao Xiaotong held a small stone in his hand and threw it out with force. The stone hit the invisible barrier, paused for a second, and then rolled down the cliff.

"Mountain King, that sounds great."

The three people who went out to buy waited outside for two days before they finally avoided the search of treasure hunters and returned to the cave.

After hearing about the frightening experiences my brothers have had over the past two days, I can't help but feel a little relieved.

"Luckily, we went out and brought you some medicine. We also bought some tools so we can make some simple instruments." Lu Zhuo opened his heavy backpack and took out the items one by one and placed them on the ground. "There are too many people outside. I carried it all in here. It's really heavy."

Li Hao looked at Jiang Dunhao and Li Gengyun beside him and asked softly, "How are your injuries?"

"It's nothing." Li Gengyun shook his flexible arm. "It's just a superficial wound."

He Haonan distributed food to everyone and showed off the lamp he had brought back. He opened the lampshade to reveal an extended wick. The base of the lamp was a container for lamp oil, which was now full. "We even learned the technology for extracting plant lamp oil!"

The process of making vegetable oil is nothing more than boiling it in water. There is nothing else on Cangkong Mountain except dense vegetation and countless plant seeds.

After listening to Lu Zhuo's description, Yuan Lai casually pulled one out of the ground and said, "It looks very similar to rice. Isn't this what these weeds next to it are?"

"Yes, yes, that's it."

The three-person team spent a whole day studying oil refining technology, trying again and again if they failed.

Zhao Yibo diligently served as the experiment recorder.

Zhuangzhuang came back from a walk with the red envelope, and the three of them were busy and having fun.

"You guys are really patient. Didn't you say you were going to Xihu? I think you're happy to live here for a long time."

"Do it yourself and you will have enough food and clothing." Li Gengyun and Zhao Xiaotong worked together to move thick bamboos down from the mountain. It seemed that they really wanted to build a gate.

Zhuangzhuang nodded, "Okay, then I'll help you cut the bamboo."

Yuan Lai sat at the edge of the barrier, staring at the people coming and going outside, thinking to himself, you will definitely not be able to find this treasure.

It has been several days. Let’s just say, were people in ancient times so idle?
