The life of a giant

Chapter 75

In the blink of an eye, Qin Yuan had already been in this back mountain for four days.

On this day, the weather was cloudy, cloudy and misty, and the air was filled with a bleak chill.

Perhaps because of the sudden drop in temperature, a porter suddenly had a high fever before departure.

In order not to delay the team's progress, Lu Changqing arranged for another porter to stay here to take care of him, and the rest of them streamlined their equipment and embarked on the journey again.

Everyone knew well that the two remaining two people were probably close to death.

As long as the large army goes away, the beast will probably return to this station.

Out of the line, they are no different from lambs waiting to be slaughtered.

But right now, everyone is in danger and can't take care of themselves, who has the mood to care about other people's lives.Besides, this is their own choice, even if they die, they can't blame others.

Most people have this kind of thinking in their hearts. It's not that they are cold by nature, it's more like a psychological protection mechanism.

Through hypnotic self-comfort over and over again, to avoid the psychological burden caused by guilt.

As He Qing said, good people in peaceful times may not be really good people, and bad people in troubled times may not be really bad people.

In this troubled world, it is not easy to stick to one's bottom line.

This soil can't grow a Madonna at all.

This trip to the back mountain was too dangerous, and He Qing regretted that she did not listen to Qin Yuan's advice.

It's only been three or four days, and six lives have already been lost in their team.People die in accidents almost every day, and I don't know how many people will be left when they return.

……

Fortunately, the mine was not far from the No. [-] Station. The team only traveled for half a day before arriving at the foot of the mine.

It is said to be a mine, but it is actually more appropriate to call it a mine.

This is a natural cave formed on the cliff.

The entrance of the cave was like a huge mountain gate, about a foot high, and there were a lot of neatly cut logs piled up outside the cave, which were obviously left by the previous team.

Although the space in the cave is not small, there is almost no flat place on the roof of the cave, and there are stalactites hanging like sharp swords everywhere.

The stones are densely packed everywhere.

Looking up, it is like thousands of sharp swords flying head-on, which makes people feel timid.

Moreover, the sound of falling water droplets can be heard from time to time in the cave. The sound floats in the cave, like gods howling and ghosts weeping, which makes people's bones stand on end.

Just when everyone stopped at the entrance of the cave, Lu Changqing said: "Everyone, this is the end of our trip."

Everyone was a little relieved when they heard this. It seemed that this trip was not as scary as imagined.

However, Lu Changqing quickly poured cold water on everyone: "We will be stationed here for two or three days. Some people will stay here to build a camp, and some people will follow me into the cave. As for how to arrange, I will discuss with Li. The hall master will discuss it again."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Li Xiangqin, and the two of them met for a brief moment before parting.

This cave is a natural shelter, which can not only hide from wild animals, but also shelter from wind and rain.There are many large and small water pools in the cave, at least you don't have to worry about drinking water when you stay here.

Basically, everyone was inclined to stay, because the depth of the cave was pitch black, and if we walked further in, we might encounter some ghostly things.

But the people who stayed behind couldn't be idle. Lu Changqing also ordered: "This will become our No. [-] post station in the future. You have also seen that there is a lot of wood piled up outside the cave. The people who are left behind need to build it within two days." A fence to keep out wild animals.”

After he ordered, Yang Liehu added: "The air in this cave is very turbid, why don't we light up the fire first?"

"Okay," Lu Changqing nodded, and then said to Yang Orion, "Lao Yang, then you can bring a few people to collect some dry firewood and come back. I will discuss tomorrow's matters with Hall Master Li."

Yang Liehu responded, and took the mute, Lao Liu and others out.

Lu Changqing took the initiative to walk up to Li Xiangqin, and said straight to the point: "Master Li, have you arranged who will enter the mountain tomorrow?"

"I'm still thinking about it. Is there a suitable candidate for my uncle?" Li Xiangqin asked rhetorically.

"I do have a few good candidates, and this time I will take up three or four places. If Hall Master Li is short on staff, it's okay to send a few fewer people. Anyway, we are all our own people, so we don't have to make a clear distinction. .”

Lu Changqing was clearly bullying them that Yuhutang was short of manpower and coerced Li Xiangqin to give up control of mining.

Li Xiangqin really didn't have many people available.

Song Dongyue lacks experience and brains. Fan Chen, a second- and fifth-year-old boy, is definitely unreliable at critical moments. Pang Shijie, the only one who can point to him, is not very calm and may not be able to hold up the scene.

So she pondered for a moment, and said with a smile: "Uncle, it's not just our Jinhutang and Yuhutang in this Hujumen, the disciples from other branches are also here. How about it, you and I Send two people from each hall, and then send one person from each other hall. Do you think this is okay?"

Since Feihutang and Shenbingfang tended to Yuhutang, Jinhutang had only Tonghutang as an assistant. In this way, Lu Changqing's power was weakened.

He immediately waved his hand, "No, no, the people from Feihutang and Shenbingfang don't have much experience. If you have to choose someone from them, I think Liu Yue from Tonghutang can think about it."

"Liu Yue? Uncle, aren't you joking with me?"

……

The two had been fighting each other for a long time, but they didn't come to a conclusion.

Yang Orion had already collected the firewood and lit the bonfire, and he yelled at the crowd, "Everyone, please go out first, old man, I want to get rid of the filth here first. The smoke may be bigger in a while, It's better for you to avoid it."

Everyone retreated after hearing the words, and the conversation between Li Xiangqin and Lu Changqing was interrupted.

Only Li Qi leaned on the dry grass in the cave and did not want to move.

He managed to make the bed for himself, and before he lay down for a few minutes, he was about to be kicked up. Naturally, he was full of reluctance in his heart.

Yang Liehu kindly persuaded him a few more words, but he scolded him instead.

In desperation, Yang Liehu had to move the firewood to the side away from him, and then lit it.

After the fire gradually burned, he took some freshly broken pine branches and threw them all into the fire.

Immediately, a cloud of white smoke rose up, filling the entire entrance of the cave.

"Fan the wind in!" Yang Liehu yelled, and a group of people picked up the prepared pu leaves and fanned them into the cave.

"Fuck, who the hell made my bed up." Li Qi jumped up from his haystack, pointed at Yang Orion and cursed, "Old man, did you do it on purpose, trying to burn your grandfather and me to death? "

After cursing, he pulled out a wooden stick from the fire and threw it at Yang Orion.

Yang Liehu dodged it, he was about to accompany Li Qi, but Qin Yuan stood up, "I told you to get up, if you stay still, you deserve it for burning your bed!"

"Why are you everywhere, you murderer pretending to be a good person." Li Qi didn't know whether it was intentional or not, he deliberately brought up Fang Ping's matter again.

"Who do you call a murderer?" Qin Yuan has been having an evil fire in his heart for the past two days, and he has nowhere to vent it, but Li Qi just doesn't open which pot and which pot to pick up.

"The murderer is calling you, the surname Qin!" Although Li Qi was not a very nice person, he was not timid when he was supposed to be young.

Qin Yuan lost control at that time, he took out his dagger and gestured at Li Qi, "You son of a bitch, try again!"

Li Qi also drew out his saber and pointed at Qin Yuan and cursed, "Just try it, who are you scaring? Murderer, murderer..."

The scolding made Qin Yuan even more angry. He pushed away Yang Liehu who was blocking him, and threw the flying knife in his hand at Li Qi.
