Chapter 111 Swamp
Du Yong asked, "Brother Yang, according to your opinion, who left the secret note?"
Yang Jin did not hesitate at all and said in a deep voice: "Old Song!"
Although Du Yong believed in Yang Jin's judgment, he was still a little curious: "Have you seen his little moves? If you remember correctly, he was walking behind you all the way."
Yang Jin smiled and said, "Isn't this the key? Only by walking behind me can he keep it from me to mark it. It's just a little bit to hide it from you and those black brothers."
Du Yong suddenly realized and patted his forehead: "Why am I so stupid? In your opinion, is Liang He trying to harm me, or is it just Lao Song who is ill-behaved?"
Yang Jin shook his head: "It's hard to judge what the specific situation is now, it depends on whom the mark was left for."
Du Yong sighed softly: "Master Zhao San erased all the marks, so no one should follow."
"ah?"
Yang Jin was stunned, obviously not expecting that Grandpa Zhao San would come like this.
Du Yong explained: "He is also cautious, afraid that too many people will be able to handle it when the time comes."
Yang Jin nodded and instructed: "Anyway, let's be careful next. After entering the mountain, even if you accidentally get separated from me, you can't be alone with Lianghe or Lao Song."
Du Yong nodded and responded.
When I went back, the supplies in the carriage had been packed, with a bag of each person, including Xiao Luzi.
Yang Jin weighed it one by one, and finally took the bags of Erhei and He Laosan: "You two are lighter, and exchange them for Boss Du and me."
Erhei had no objection, so he nodded casually and changed into Du Yong's bag.
He Laosan had no objection, but just muttered: "How can the distribution be so even?"
Next I have to walk, so the horses are all fostered in the inn, so I will give them some money.
After leaving the town, go up the mountain road and start a journey of climbing the mountain.
When we climbed to the third peak, it was already noon. Everyone found a shaded place to rest, eat something before setting off.
Xiao Luzi threw his backpack to the ground, lay on the soft thatch, and moaned in his mouth: "This mountain road is really hard to walk, and I almost exhausted me. When I was transporting goods, I was far from being so tired."
Erhei kicked Xiao Luzi and said, "What a young master, you are just a prisoner, okay?"
Little Luzi pretended to scream and begged for mercy: "Uncle Erhei, don't fight, the younger one is going to open the way."
During the fight, everyone opened their backpacks, took out water bags and dry food to replenish their energy.
He Laosan climbed up the huge rock next to him and pointed ahead: "That is the Youmang Mountains. After we eat, we should be able to reach the Heishui River at the foot of the mountain before dark."
Du Yong also climbed up the stone and looked into the distance with his eyes.
The distant mountains hide among the clouds and mist, extending southwest and northeast, unable to see the whole picture clearly, giving people a majestic and extraordinary impression. The mountains are lush dense forests, showing endless vitality.
At the foot of the mountain is a flat land full of shrubs and weeds, with intertwined streams and many puddles of different sizes. Various birds gathered by the water for food and play, and the chirping sounds intertwined, rushing straight into the eardrums, but there was no noise.
There is no house around, even if it is a thatched house, it is deserted.
Although I could see a rough look at it at first sight, the actual distance is very far, and there is no decent road, so it will definitely be difficult to walk.
Du Yong suddenly remembered a question: "Brother He San, I remember that many people from the world set out with us. They could still see some people when climbing the mountain, but why can't they see any of them now?"
He Laosan explained: "The shortcut we took is to pass through the swamp, and everyone else takes a detour."
Du Yong pointed to the flat ground: "Is the swamp you mentioned the one in front of you?"
He Laosan nodded: "It's this piece. Don't look like it's alive. It's actually a dead place. I don't know how many bones are buried inside, and there are all human bones and animal bones."
Little Luzi, who was eating jerky, looked up and muttered, "Why are we going to take a detour, why do we have to run here?"
He Laosan snorted: "Our team is strong, of course we have to get closer. If we take a detour, it will take two more days."
Xiao Luzi retorted: "It's better to take a detour than to die?"
He Laosan glanced at him: "Can you speak? What does it mean to die?"
Xiao Luzi whispered: "I heard that if I accidentally fall into the swamp, I can only wait for death. If someone goes to pull him, it will be just a burial."
"hearsay!"
He Laosan sneered coldly and then explained: "Walking in this kind of swamp, you can bring a long wooden stick and put it in your hand, you can save yourself or pull people."
Du Yong secretly praised in his heart that He Laosan is indeed a little experienced and is not a mess.
After eating, everyone followed He Laosan's instructions and each made a long branch and held it in their hands.
As soon as I entered the swamp, I smelled an old stench, which penetrated my nose and was unbearable. Moreover, there were mosquitoes around me, and the buzzing sound kept making my scalp numb.
Under the guidance of He Laosan, he chose a small path, and only one person could pass through, with either a stream or a mud pit on both sides.
Everyone lined up and moved forward slowly. Every short distance, you could see piles of white bones, which were so vitiligoful.
The water in the puddles and streams is not very turbid. You can see the blue-black mud under the aquatic plants, and the mud is constantly squirming. There should be some very terrifying creatures.
"I'll go, there are a lot of mosquitoes!"
The three Hei Ge and Little Luzi who were walking in front were cursing and slapping mosquitoes. It was a pity that they couldn't beat them all. Not long after, red envelopes were covered with necks, cheeks and foreheads.
Du Yong wanted to use his true energy to resist at first, but unfortunately there was no effect. Mosquitoes continued to do so. He could only take out a dagger and cut a piece of clothing to wrap his head and neck, revealing only his nose and eyes.
It's hot now, and it's noon again. Sweat quickly wet the whole body, making it so sticky that it feels so uncomfortable.
Everyone didn't speak for a long time, only heavy breathing.
"Run quickly and run to the foot of the mountain to take a shower." Erhei couldn't help it, so he suggested that everyone run.
The little Luzi at the front was originally groping forward. After hearing Erhei's suggestion, he gritted his teeth and immediately took the lead in running. Unfortunately, he had only run more than ten steps and suddenly stepped on the air and fell into the mud.
Erhei, who followed him, did not stop the car and fell into it.
Xiao Luzi and Erhei were both calm and calm. They held the horizontal stick with both hands, trying to stabilize their bodies. However, the mud pit was very wide and the stick could not be held back at all, so they sank down together.
"Help!" Xiao Luzi and Erhei shouted.
"Why are you still standing there? Handing the stick and letting them hold it."
He Laosan looked at Da Hei and San Hei who were a little stunned and quickly reminded him at the top of his voice.
Dahei and Sanhei came to their senses, quickly handed over the stick in their hands, and stole their horses. After Xiao Luzi and Erhei grabbed it, they pulled it back with force.
Xiao Luzi and Erhei are neither tall nor strong in shape. They can be pulled up at will, but the truth is not the case. They seem to be sucked by something and cannot pull them at all.
He Laosan squatted down and hugged Sanhei's thighs.
Du Yong simply sat down, stretched his feet to hook Dahei's calves, and pulled He Laosan's back collar with his right hand.
The four of them used all their strength and could only barely maintain balance.
He Laosan's face turned red and he couldn't help but curse: "What are you two doing? You don't work hard to climb up, and you're still struggling in the mud? Do you want to pull us all in?"
"There is something in the mud biting people." Erhei held the stick tightly with both hands, but his body twisted constantly, which was very painful.
Xiao Luzi looked even worse, his eyes closed, his face turned blue, and his mouth foamed, as if he was poisoned. Fortunately, his hands were still holding the stick tightly, so he did not fall into it.
The road was too narrow, Yang Jin, Liang He, and Lao Song could not squeeze into the front to help, so they could only pull Du Yong.
"You can't pull it out like this, you have to go around in front." Old Song said in a deep voice.
"Hurry up, little Lüzi is about to die." Liang He yelled.
Old Song jumped up and looked ahead, then took a breath of his true energy, jumped over the heads of everyone, jumped directly to the opposite side, and then stood firmly and handed the stick in his hand to Erhei: "To this side!"
Erhei immediately let go of Dahei's stick, twisted his body, and grabbed Lao Song's stick.
"Have me up!" Old Song shouted wildly, pulled Erhei out of the mud, and brought out a stream of mud, which hit everyone's faces, making people almost disgusted.
Du Yong saw Erhei's trouser legs being bitten, his calves were bleeding, and he didn't know what he was bitten.
Erhei lay on the ground, wailing endlessly. Old Song quickly tore off his trouser legs and checked his injuries. He was shocked when he saw that Erhei's legs were covered with dense black lees.
Even though Old Song was knowledgeable, he felt his scalp numb and didn't know how to start.
Dahei relaxed and spread it on the ground, gasping for breath.
He Laosan cursed: "Why are you sitting down for? There is another one."
Yang Jin squeezed into the team, grabbed Da Hei and threw it to Liang He in the back, took San Hei's stick, and ordered: "You retreat, Brother Liang."
Du Yong, He Laosan, and Sanhei followed the instructions and stepped back. Liang He squeezed forward, looked at the little Luzi who was already unconscious in the mud pit, and frowned and said, "Brother Yang, if you insist on it, his hand may not be able to grasp it."
After saying that, he took off his belt and tied his right ankle: "I jumped over and grabbed his hand quickly, and then you pulled me."
Yang Jin nodded and reached out to take the belt.
Liang He floated over with his breath and reached out to hold Xiao Luzi's wrist.
