Bianshanhan [farming]

The snowmobile was walking under the moonlight, and they walked along the snow in the forest all the way to the northeast.

When the sun came out, Li Qingwen dozed off for a while leaning on Jiang Cong's shoulder.

Liu He was also resting with his eyes closed. He was injured and on his way. It was really hard to bear the pain.

They all carried dry food. When they stopped, they each took a few bites, fed the deer food, and rested for a while before continuing on.

Originally, Li Qingwen thought they lived in the forest, but a few days later, the snow cart stopped in the wilderness. Li Qingwen looked around, but found no signs of people living there.

The person driving the car in front gave each of them an animal belt and asked them to tie it on their eyes.

The tribe does not allow outsiders to enter. If it wasn't for the piece of ebony wood that was actually made into an arrow, and they couldn't return the thing to Li Qingwen, even if they died, no one in the tribe would lead the way for outsiders.

Liu He smiled apologetically, and Li Qingwen and Jiang Cong tied their eyes without saying a word.

When you come to other people's territory, you must abide by their rules.

In the darkness, Li Qingwen only felt that the snowmobile was moving, but Jiang Cong noticed that the snowmobile had changed direction, and the wind blowing on his face was obviously different.

Since he couldn't see it, Li Qingwen continued to sleep, so as not to waste time.

In order to wait for Liu He, he hadn't slept well these days. Now that he had the right opportunity, Li Qingwen fell asleep in peace.

Just after he fell into a deep sleep, the snowmobile plunged into the forest again. After a short day, a long night ushered in.

A full moon hangs in the sky, and the cold light guides the reindeer back to the depths of the forest.

The snowmobile stopped outside the towering valley, and Liu He got off the ground. Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Cong said, "Let him continue to sleep."

Liu He nodded, and reached out to remove the animal skin from his eyes.

Putting Li Qingwen flat on the snowmobile and covering it with a leather mattress, Jiang Cong lifted his foot off the snowmobile and stepped on the thick snow.

As soon as he landed, he noticed that the snow shell under his feet was very hard, and when he stepped down, his ankles were still exposed.

The man driving the cart collected firewood and started a fire in the distance by himself.

Liu He had no blood on his face, and was very haggard. He looked at Jiang Cong and said, "Brother Jiang, the arrows are in the boulders in the pool. You have to go into the water and take them out before you can take them away. The black green wood was originally found by you. Yes, I hammered it on my own, and I should return it with both hands, but my tribe and I have no way to do it, and many times in the water are in vain, so I can only ask you to do it yourself."

Jiang Cong nodded, "Brother Liu, Jiang is very grateful that you can make arrows. Leave the rest to me."

While talking, Jiang Cong walked by the fire and took off all his clothes. Instead of rushing into the water, he rubbed his chest with his palms.

The moon is shining like a moonlight, but the pool in front of it is as quiet as stagnant water, without a single wave, and the black shadow across the water is huge, like a giant beast crawling in the air, as if tilting its head and staring curiously at the pool on the ground. Small puddles.

Jiang Cong glanced at it, and knew that the sky was not a giant beast, but a huge windmill.

The windmill several feet high is facing the cracked canyon behind, the wind blows from the canyon, the windmill screamed, trembling

Do not move.

Looking at the deep pool, Liu He continued to exhort: "Tan Shuishen, be careful, I will let Alan go down with you. No matter whether you can take it out or not, you must leave the pool when you hear the sound of the wind. Once the wheel of time turns, the bottom of the pool will be destroyed." I can't escape either."

Jianzhilun is the huge windmill that Jiang Cong saw. I don't know what its purpose is, but its location is just above the water pool. Once it moves, the consequences can be imagined.

Jiang Cong asked, "If it starts spinning, how long will it take to stop again?"

Liu He said: "The wind will stop when it's light. It may be a few hours, it may be a few days, a dozen days, or a few months."

Jiang Cong rubbed his whole body to warm up, walked over, and was about to go into the water. The man named A Lun also took off his clothes and smeared ointment all over his body.

Jiang Cong followed Allen, stepping on the snow with his bare feet into the pool.

The water in the pool was indeed extremely piercing, Jiang Cong lowered his eyes, took a deep breath, and sank into the pool.

He went into the water very fast, and Allen froze for a moment, then plunged in too.

When viewed from the shore, the pool is pitch black, but when entering the water, you can see the moonlight shining obliquely in.

A Lun led the way in the water, and Jiang Cong followed. Through the clear water of the pool, one could see an obvious protrusion at the bottom of the pool. There was no mud, no grass, and only a large solitary stone.

A Lun swam to the stone and stopped. Jiang Cong squinted his eyes and looked over. The surface of this blue stone was smooth, but there was a gap in the middle, about one foot and eight inches long.

Allen pointed at the gap, indicating to him that the arrow was inside, and Jiang Cong also raised his finger to point to the water, letting him go up.

Now that it has been brought, Allen didn't stay any longer, turned around and left.

Jiang Cong stood on the side of the stone, looking in through the gap, and found that the touch under his feet was very familiar. When he looked down, there was a piece of blue under his feet, which was exactly the same as the ebony wood they picked up.

Jiang Cong was startled for a moment, and then realized that the big blue stone in front of him was also ebony wood, and it was connected with the large area under his feet.

Time was running short, suppressing the surprise in his heart, Jiang Cong stretched his hand into the gap.

His fingertips touched a round circle inside, and he circled the circle with his fingers. It should be an arrow, but the arrow was firmly attached to the stone wall, with almost no gap, so it was impossible to touch it.

Jiang Cong retracted his hand, and took out the iron awl from the pocket he brought with him. The iron awl went in, and the tip of the iron awl tried to pry along the side, but not only was there nothing inside, but the tip of the iron awl was bent.

Jiang Cong tried other methods, but there was still no result. He finally understood why Liu and the others couldn't take it out because of this.

He stepped on the water and floated to the top of the pool, took a deep breath, and plunged into the bottom of the pool again.

After entering the water again, Jiang Cong didn't continue to compete with the gap, but circled around the protruding ebony wood.

At first glance, this piece of wood looks like a stand, a stand for making arrows, but the finished arrows fell into it and could not be taken out...

It doesn't make sense.

The already faint moonlight was getting weaker and weaker. Jiang Cong closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his pupils constricted.

He turned his gaze to the surrounding area of ​​the ebony wood platform again, looking at it inch by inch, stepping on the water slowly, and turning around in a circle.

The whole piece of ebony wood is one piece, and there is no gap with the underground part, except for a corner at the back, which is slightly dull in color...

Jiang Cong came there, pressed it with his hand, it was very hard, and his fingertips slowly slid back and forth, and it was smooth and flat, but he didn't find any difference.

Believing that he was not mistaken, Jiang Cong picked up the other end of the iron awl and poked it hard.

There was no looseness at all, but Jiang Cong felt that something was different. The strength of the iron cone returning to the palm of his hand was different, and it was not black green wood here.

Just when he was about to get rid of it to check the mystery, the originally quiet pool gradually started to ripple. At the same time, there was a wind blowing from a distance, with a slight whistling sound.

The huge windmill was activated and trembled slightly.

Liu He's face changed drastically, and he shouted into the pool, "Jiang Cong, come up quickly, the wind is blowing!"

The howling of the wind was getting louder and louder, and Jiang Cong had already heard it. He leaned sideways and pounded hard on the collapsed place.

At this time, the windmill was slowly turning, and the water in the pool seemed to be sucked up by something in the sky. Jiang Cong used all his strength to insert the bottom of the awl into the smashed hole.

The ebony wooden platform shook violently, and a long object jumped out from the gap above.

Jiang Cong grabbed it and followed the suction of the water and went up.

"Jiang Cong, Jiang Cong!"

Li Qingwen was awakened by the shout, opened his eyes, and found that he was still on the snowmobile, and he could see things...

Hearing Liu He's shout, his heart trembled. Looking around, he saw two people under the moonlight, but only Jiang Cong was missing. Li Qingwen hurried over, "Where's my brother?"

"In, in the pool..." Liu He panicked, "He's still in the water."

Li Qingwen wanted to run over to take a look, but was stopped by Liu He, "No, it's dangerous!"

Hearing this, Li Qingwen wanted to save people even more. He had just taken a step when he heard a "crash" in the pool, Jiang Cong seemed to have jumped out of the water, and ran towards them in the blink of an eye.

Liu He and Allen were stunned. They didn't expect him to be so fast. Li Qingwen immediately rushed to wipe Jiang Cong's body with water.

After a while, the spinning huge windmill hit the pool fiercely, and the four of them were nearly knocked down by the pool water splashing out. No matter whether they were dressed or not, they were drenched thoroughly.

The fire was also extinguished, and they trembled and hurried to the distance to set up another fire.

Because it was going into the water, there was a leather blanket on the snowmobile. Alan took it and the four of them put it on respectively. Li Qingwen carefully untied the belt for Liu He, lest his injured hands get infected with water.

As a result, I opened it layer by layer, and found that the inside was dry, so I peeled off the two outer layers of wetness, and rewrapped the leather case.

The wound should be kept warm and not exposed to cold.

Jiang Cong heated up the fire even more while wiping himself.

"Just now, it was really dangerous." Liu Hedong's lips trembled, "Jiang, Jiang Cong, you are too brave!"

Jiang Cong, who was wrapped in a blanket, apologized to him, "It had already been smashed open at that time, and I didn't want to return without success, so I delayed for a while to make you worry, Brother Liu."

"Smash, smash what?" Liu He suddenly stopped trembling, and looked at Jiang Cong in a daze, "The bottom of the pool is my family's sacred tree, it is impossible to be smashed..."

Li Qingwen encountered this accident just after waking up, and looked at the two of them in bewilderment.

"The sacred wood in your clan is not broken, what is broken is something else." Jiang Cong said, and handed the thing poking the fire in his hand to Li Qingwen. .”

"You, you, you..." Liu He's eyes widened in astonishment, staring at the thing in his hand, he couldn't even utter a second word.

Allen's eyes trembled as well, with a look of disbelief on his face.

Hearing these four words, Li Qingwen's whole body was shocked, and he took them with glowing eyes.

The thing in my hand was about one foot and eight inches long, and it was heavy. After wiping off the freshly stained dust, it was a black-blue stick, which was nothing special.
