Yuan Bao and the others were used to the chirping of night birds in the mountains and the howling of wild animals in the distance. If they didn't enter a certain range, they would at most just look up and look in the direction of the sound, and just quietly guard the tent door.
The fire at the entrance of the tent, before going to sleep, several people will deliberately add some thick and burnable wood knots to ensure that it will not go out all night. The smoke of the fire can drive away the approaching mosquitoes, and the light of the fire can also scare the wild animals.
As for Lu Lu and the others, they were already used to sleeping with their guns in their clothes.
Sleeping awake is naturally not that comfortable, but it can guarantee that when a situation arises, the first response is made, just for safety.
Another night passed peacefully.
After breakfast the next morning, Liang Kangbo guarded the tent while Lu Lu led Zhang Shaofeng and others into the mountain.
The morning sun shines in the mountains, the mist in the valleys fills the air, and the weather that has gradually turned cooler makes people feel refreshed.
In the woods, however, when the sun was high, things were different.
It rained heavily a few days ago, and the fog in the forest was mainly water vapor, but after a few days, in the damp forest, the smell from the thick rotting leaves was mixed with a slight smell of corruption, lingering in the forest. Between, this is miasma.
This kind of miasma is better if it is light, if it is too thick, or if you inhale too much, it will cause hallucinations, and then you will go to Mt. Mada.
You can't see much up close, but if you look far away, you can see a faint, somewhat drowsy mist.
Lu Lu even felt that the purple air seen in the mountain view was also related to the refraction of these fogs.
In the forest, the road was blocked by thorn wood, and there were swarms of mosquitoes. Walking all the way to the depths of the forest, there was no trace of human damage.
It didn't take long for Lu Lu to find where Lao Zhao was.
According to the old sign, there were still 13 people, and what was carried was also a six-grade leaf club.
A few people simply searched around Lao Zhao, and soon saw the first fourth-ranked leaf, followed by a fifth-ranked leaf...
In just two hours, several people found about 200 clubs, large and small, within [-] meters around the old sign.
This is not a small amount, so, for the next time, among the four, Zhang Shaofeng and Chen Xiuqing were in charge of the scene, while Lu Lu and Zhao Yongke worked together to lift the club.
And when several people were lifting their clubs, Liang Kangbo, who was taking care of the things in the tent and the horses, saw the three of them again.
This time, the three of them climbed a tree on the opposite mountain to check.
The sound of the branches being shaken caught Liang Kangbo's attention. He deliberately went around to look, and then watched the three of them enter the mountain, where Lu Lu and the others went.
He waited until Lu Lu and the others came back, but he didn't see that third son again.
"Those three people came again yesterday, did you meet them in the mountains?" Liang Kangbo immediately asked after meeting Lu Lu.
"here we go again?"
Lu Lu frowned slightly, then shook his head, indicating that he didn't see it.
He thought for a while, then smiled indifferently: "The mallet next to Lao Zhao has been raised. I have watched the mountain scenery from a high place, and I am not very optimistic about other places. Regardless of them, let's continue to change places tomorrow. This trip, I will The plan is to go three more places, and then it will be almost the same.”
The three of them also came to this place, which made Lu Lu feel that this old man must also know the location of Lao Zhao, and he should have a close relationship with the Can Gang back then, maybe the elders were members of the Can Gang.
In this case, it can only be first come first served.
As for the places Lu Lu chose, all three are in relatively deep mountains, which are inaccessible, and there are still a few around, but, such places are relatively close to towns and villages.
According to the current trend, if you go to such a place, you are likely to be patronized long ago, and the chance of gaining something will be much smaller.
The point is, those sticks that were carried first have been placed in the buns for some time.
Although a small amount of soil was placed and moss was used to keep it fresh, it is different from growing in the soil, and it is easy to break if it takes too long.
He didn't know that not long after they left, the old man also found the old Zhao, looking at the dirt pile left by the mallet that had been lifted away, the old man sat wearily on the ground beside him.
"We're late, let's go back, it's probably over!" the old man said helplessly.
"Are there any other old signs around here?" his eldest son asked in a low voice.
The old man shook his head: "There are none around here."
"That group of people took the lead again!" His youngest son said angrily.
"If I'm not wrong, the animal skin book that has been lost for many years and records the location of Lao Zhao should be in the hands of this group of people. Otherwise, it would be impossible to find it so accurately. When you arrive at a place, go directly to Lao Zhao .”
The old man sighed slightly: "The locations of the old signs I know from your grandfather are only six."
"We can't let them take advantage of everything, can we?" His youngest son said very dissatisfied: "Let's start now. There are six places, two of which are too close to the village, and there is no gain. This group of people took the lead.
There are still two old sign positions left. If these people get the upper hand again, our trip can be said to be in vain.To get the mallet, we have to catch up with them!You have to get ahead of them. "
"But last time we told a lie, if this happens..." The old man was a little worried.
"What are you afraid of? This time we are ahead. If they get involved, it means they are not following the rules. We are right. What can we do with us?" the old man's youngest son said coldly.
"Dad... Let's go there. I think these people are reasonable, and they should be fine!" His eldest son also expressed his support.
The old man looked at his two sons, hesitated for a moment, and said, "This is the only way to do it now!" After he finished speaking, he immediately got up and left with his backpack on his back.
His two sons followed immediately.
So, what Lu Lu didn't expect was that when he went to find the next old sign the next day, he found that the club around the old sign had been lifted.
And the traces are very fresh, even the stems and leaves left by cutting are still fresh.
It should be the person who carried the mallet. He had just left not long ago.
How could he have imagined that the route chosen by the third master was surprisingly consistent with his nearest one, and he had caught up with him.
Therefore, Lu Lu resolutely gave up the unnecessary search, and went directly to the next Laozhao location that was closer that day.
When we got there, it was already dark and we had to camp at the foot of the mountain.
However, when I was looking for Lao Zhao early in the morning, I heard the voice of shouting when I entered the mountain.
The voice was very familiar, it belonged to the three of you.
Lu Lu shook his head slightly, he was now completely sure in his heart that the old man really knew the location of Lao Zhao.
Well, since they arrived first, Lu Lu stopped arguing, led a few people back, packed their luggage, and rushed to the last old sign.
It was another half day trekking in the mountains and dense forests, and it was only after one o'clock in the afternoon that we arrived at the location.
Chen Xiuqing and Zhang Shaofeng were left behind to set up tents, cook, and let the horses go, while Lu Lu called Zhao Yongke and Liang Kangbo, ready to take the first step to see if they were taken ahead again.
The location of the omen is on a hillside at the foot of a cliff.
In the animal skin book, there is a name marked on it, which is called Lao Yatou.
This is a large cliff, more than ten feet high.
There are mossy boulders and clusters of ferns everywhere at the foot of the cliff. The surrounding forests are sparse, but the vines on the hillside are surprisingly dense.
The cliff is also thick green, and there are many arm-thick kudzu vines hanging down from the edge of the cliff, like entangled and rolling pythons.
It took Lu Lu, Zhao Yongke, and Liang Kangbo more than an hour to find the location of the old sign. According to the sign, it was also the place where the sixth-grade leaf club was produced.
This time they were not preempted, and the three of them breathed a sigh of relief, and simply took the poking stick and started searching.
When I kept looking for Wipe Hei, I also found five fourth-rank leaf mallets in this area, but none of fifth-rank ones.
Seeing that time was running out, Lu Lu called the two of them, put a halter on the mallet, and prepared to dig and rummage again tomorrow.
The tangled vines greatly increased the difficulty of searching. After they were busy during this time, the area they were looking for was not large, and Lu Lu felt that there should not be only such a few things.
Putting a bridle on the mallet is telling people that the mallet already has an owner and can no longer be moved.
It is definitely not possible to lift the mallet at night. If you come here tomorrow morning, then Ye San or other members of the gang have arrived here, and my group has a reason to control this piece of land.
Of course, if you dare to move these clubs while wearing a bridle, then it will not be so easy to talk about.
And at the position of the last old sign, Na Ye San finally finished lifting the mallet and was sitting on the ground to rest.
In front of them, there were more than a dozen sealed buns, large and small.
"Yesterday and today, these two old omens are really gathering strength. Yesterday I got two fifth-grade leaf clubs, and today this one is even more powerful. I even found a sixth-grade... Well, let me say that I should surpass them." , they preempted them, we went into the mountain this time, but we just went back with three fourth-grade leaf sticks.
Just those three fourth-grade leaf sticks, let alone marrying a wife, it is difficult to build a house. "
The old man's youngest son looked very excited.
The old man also laughed happily: "Yeah, yesterday and today, the five fifth-grade leaf clubs alone can be sold for a lot of money, especially the sixth-grade leaf clubs... rely on it, we will sell it for a lot of money in the future." You can live without worrying about food and clothing for half your life. Sell them all, you two brothers, each of you has a ten thousand yuan household!"
"So valuable?" The old man's eldest son was also shocked.
"Of course, a few years ago, such a six-grade leaf mallet cost more than a thousand yuan, not more than two thousand. However, now that the tide is rising, all boats can be sold for six or seven thousand at the buying station. If you want to go Finding a rich buyer is even more serious." The old man said with a smile.
"Dad, do you know any other old signs? Let's look for it again!" The old man's youngest son asked, "It's so valuable, if you miss this breath, you might lose your chance."
"Your grandfather was only sixteen or seventeen years old at the time, and he was just doing odd jobs with others, so he had the opportunity to go to such a few places where big goods were sold. Do you think anyone can come in this deep mountain, no If the organization has more manpower, it will be difficult to get out alive. It is a matter of desperately looking for a stick for the leader of the gang...
Your grandfather was ill, and he never had the chance to come here again. He just memorized these positions, and he also followed the example of the leader of the gang. Later, the gang was disturbed by the government, and your grandfather also When I got home, I chose to become a hunter... At that time, I joined the gang, but the gang was not a small group that randomly recruited a few people like it is now.
We can find so many mallets, be content! The old man sighed for a long time: "It's a pity, your grandfather doesn't know how to watch mountains, and neither can I. Otherwise, it's really profitable to carry a stick these days." "
"You won't, someone will!" The old man's youngest son said, not without hesitation: "Those people... They have been kidnapped all the way, let's follow them, maybe we can find some old signs, and maybe we will find some old signs." If you can look around, you might be able to find quite a few, the key is that these old signs, after another three to 40 years, those little twisters will grow up and be worth a lot, so it’s not a bad thing to know the location of one more old sign.”
"I told you, don't provoke that group of people!" Lao Tzu stared back directly.
The old man's youngest son curled his lips, and looked at the buns again: "Dad, how are you going to divide these sticks?"
"What's the point, sell it for money, and I'll keep it for you. I don't worry about your brother, but you... tell me, is there a time for me to worry? If you get some money, you only know how to take it." Go push Pai Gow, use it to get women, as long as you are virtuous, the money will be sent out before it reaches your hands."
As soon as these things were mentioned, the old man's whole mood became unhappy: "Can't you be a better person? Learn from your brother!"
"Cut, learn from my brother, is that still me?" The old man's youngest son snorted disdainfully: "He is willing to let you keep my brother's share, so you can keep his share, and mine will be kept by myself." , How to use it is also my business. If you don’t give it to me, I won’t agree. to us."
"If our dad doesn't know the location of these old signs, where are you going to carry the hammer? Then what has happened to your family? You don't have a clue?"
The old man's eldest son couldn't stand listening to it anymore, and followed suit: "This money must not be handed over to you, so you should give up on it, and tell our dad when you need it, and don't give it to me unless you explain the ins and outs clearly." .”
Little did he know, as soon as he finished speaking, his brother had already grabbed a rock and smashed it hard on his head, knocking him to the ground.
At that moment, the old man was stunned.
The incident happened without warning, and he never expected that his youngest son would suddenly strike at such a time.
That's his brother!
How can you do it?
However, when he was still in a daze, he saw his son grabbing the stone with red eyes, and patted him head-on.
