Chapter 17 Ways to Save People (Part [-])
Datou hugged Wu Chen's arm tightly, and his whole head was almost plunged into Wu Chen's arms. Xu Da's complexion was already a little pale, but now it was a little paler.

Wu Chen tensed his body until there was no more movement, and after waiting for a while, he dared to stand up and look at Gao Shan.

Obviously, the shape of the mountain in front of him was slightly different from what Wu Chen had looked at while lying on the boulder.

Wu Chen took a deep breath and said, "Xu Da, you stay here, Datou, follow me up the mountain!"

……

I don't know if it was because Liu Gen was sent away, Wu Chen's job was opened, and Lao Hei gave him a reward, or it was because of worry. In short, Wu Chen ran all the way to the middle of the mountain without carrying his heavy head on his back. It's not a star and a half to be stronger than his physique.

Running to the middle of the mountain, it was as expected by Wu Chen, it was no longer what he saw yesterday, the crack was gone.

Gu You, the people he brought and the dozens of soldiers were all trapped in the mountain depression. If it gets dark, none of them will survive!
Wu Chen was very anxious, and now he went back to report to Chen Zhong, and when he ordered people to search the mountain and find the entrance of the col again, it would definitely be too late, and what could Chen Zhong do?

Wu Chen looked around and muttered in his mouth, he didn't know if he was talking to Datou or himself:

"Yesterday we were lucky. We went up the mountain and found the entrance directly. Today, we two brothers must find the entrance before dark no matter what, and rescue the people who are still alive inside. Otherwise, dozens of lives will be lost!"

The big head widened his eyes and said, "Listen to you! What should I do now?"

Wu Chen blinked, yes, what are we going to do now?Go around the mountain?If it was feasible, Gu You would have found it early today, so why not use him?
"What time is it now?"

The big head looked at the sky and said, "It should be the end of time."

"We were still in the col at this time yesterday."

"That's right!" Seeing that Wu Chen was very anxious, the big head quickly comforted him, "They can find the exit on their own, right? It's not easy for us to find it outside, but it might be easy for them to find it inside."

Wu Chen looked at the serious look of the big head, and wanted to say that they didn't have this ability, but it was difficult to explain to the big head why they didn't have this ability. Even Wu Chen himself thought of a direction only by deduction and luck. Bar.

Wu Chen looked around again, and said, "Let's go down first, you have to listen carefully along the way."

Nod your head heavily.

……

The two of them didn't smell anything all the way back to Datou, but there was no sign of Xu Da at the foot of the mountain, nor did the horse. Wu Chen knew that Xu Da must have gone back to report to Chen Zhong, so that's fine.

Wu Chen looked at the mountain in front of him and asked the big head: "There are twelve hours in a day, how many hours are occupied after dark?"

"That depends on whether the sky is long and the sky is short. Now that the sky is longer, it will be dark for five hours."

Wu Chen's mind was spinning rapidly. He still couldn't completely convert the time into hours, so he could only squat down, find a branch, and write and draw while asking the big head on the ground.

The big head didn't seem to be worried, and took the time to ask: "If it's dark and we haven't found the entrance to the col, what shall we eat? I've eaten all the cakes I brought at noon."

Wu Chen ignored his big head, lowered his head to calculate, then raised his head to look at the mountain, and muttered, "It's an elevator? Where's the electricity? Balance? Gravity? I'm not a science student!"

The big head sat aside and muttered: "I'm going to be hungry tonight, what should I do? I don't want to be hungry."

Two people you say yours, I say mine, finally Wu Chen stood up and said, "Big head, let's go up the mountain again, and it's the top of the mountain!"

The big head also stood up, looked at a pile of things he didn't recognize on the ground, and asked, "What are these two larger paintings?"

"I left it to Xu Da. These two characters read 'mountain top'. I hope he can understand what I mean."

"You can write?" Datou was surprised.

"Let's go, I'm afraid it will be dark before we reach the top of the mountain."

Wu Chen hurried up the mountain with the big head, but this time there was no Gu You to open the way ahead, Wu Chen didn't have the ability to overcome thorns and thorns, after halfway up the mountain, the mountain road would be difficult to walk.

Wu Chen was very anxious. On the one hand, there were dozens of lives, and his perception did not allow him to ignore them. On the other hand, he also wanted to make sure his thinking was correct.

Ever since Lao Hei appeared and allowed him to time travel, his cognition of more than 30 years has been subverted. There is nothing unacceptable to Wu Chen now. For flying saucers, Wu Chen would calmly say hi to flying saucers.

But after thinking about it, the ability of the physical body can't keep up!

If the mountains were full of trees, it might be easier to walk, but the higher you went up, the more strange rocks and bushes there were, and Datou couldn't move anymore. Wu Chen encouraged Datou again and again, saying that he would have meat to eat when he went back.

The method of looking at plum blossoms to quench thirst still works for Datou, but it doesn’t last long. Just when Datou shook his head and expressed that he couldn’t walk again, Wu Chen couldn’t walk either. He wrinkled his nose and began to smell.

Wu Chen was excited, and quickly asked, "Does it smell?"

The big head struggled to move a few steps in the direction of the mountain, then turned back and nodded to Wu Chen.

Wu Chen panted heavily and looked up at the sky. The sun could not be seen. Just looking at the color of the sky, the setting sun was infinitely better!
Wu Chen sat down on the ground slumped, without Gu You's sharp sword, only with his and Da Tou's hands, trying to remove the bushes and rocks on the side of the mountain, how difficult it was to find the cracks!

How to do?
Wu Chen smiled wryly, breaking off the bushes one by one, and moving away the stones one by one. It's not dark, but it's going to be light again!
Wu Chen felt unwilling, knowing that the entrance was nearby, how could he just look at it like this?

Wu Chen stood up, picked up a stone and threw it at the mountain. The big head was very smart this time, as if he understood what Wu Chen meant, he also picked up the stone and threw it at the mountain.

"The village we went to is at the foot of the mountain." Wu Chen picked up another stone and threw it out: "They also heard a loud noise in the mountain."

"Yeah." Datou also continued to throw stones.

"But today it rang again, and the ground moved. I think it was because Gu You and the others encountered a mechanism, causing the mountain to change its position when it shouldn't. It would be fine if it changed to the next position it should be. If not, it will be troublesome.”

"Ah."

"That is to say, when the mountain people heard the loud noise before, it is very likely that when the three people discovered the col, they might have activated the mechanism in the col. But after that, the mountain has a fixed time to change its position every day. There was no movement but no earthquake, and the nearby residents did not notice anything unusual, but today is different."

Wu Chen picked up a slightly larger stone and threw it out.

"Yeah." The big head followed suit and picked up a big stone and threw it out.
