I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 99 Repayment of Debt

She finally calmed down from her panic. Huang Dou, who was running ahead in excitement, suddenly made a U-turn, ran back with a pair of bright green eyes, and rushed in front of her.

"Stinky Soybean, you scared me!!"

Huang Dou, who was playing crazy, ran away in a hurry, and he didn't know which haystack and bush he ran to.

Baoyu laughed beside her, "Sister, I saw you were walking in front without making a sound, so I thought you weren't afraid."

Seeing his thoughts, Zhou Chenyu curled his lips and said, "It's dark. It's just me walking into the wilderness with you. Who knows what we will encounter. Aren't you afraid?"

"I'm not afraid." Baoyu stopped and pointed to the mountain to the east, "Sister, my father's grave is on that mountain. With him protecting us, we will definitely not be in danger."

grave?

When Baoyu mentioned this, Zhou Chenyu felt even more terrified. He silently slowed down and walked side by side with Baoyu. After walking for about half an hour, the mountains to the east gradually revealed their outlines, and the sight ahead became clearer.

Zhou Chenyu blew out the lantern and put it back on the cart. The road under his feet had been pressed down by the previous cart into two long bare lines. Only weeds grew in the middle. However, the further in, the more weeds grew on the road. If Baoyu hadn't led the way, Zhou Chenyu would never have believed that people could leave here.

Walking along the flat path to the end, Baoyu put down the cart and looked to the left at the rugged mountain road leading to the top of the mountain. "Sister, the cart can only transport things here, and the rest of the way you can only carry things on your back."

Zhou Chenyu glanced at it and said, "After we go up the mountain, where will we put the cart?"

Baoyu said, "Put it under the tree and cover it with weeds. It is inaccessible here and will not be lost."

"That's right. If there's no one around, who's going to steal the cart?"

The two of them worked together to unload the cart, then cut down a large pile of weeds that was taller than a person, pushed the cart under a big tree and hid it.

Afterwards, Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu each carried a basket full of things and climbed the mountain with sticks.

The sun was rising, the light was not too strong, dewdrops were still hanging on the plants in the woods, and raindrops fell on the top of the head.

Every few steps Baoyu took, he turned around and said, "Sister, how heavy is this basket on your back? I still have it empty, so please bring some more stuff over here!"

The backpack behind him weighed more than ten kilograms. Zhou Chenyu's shoulders were tied by two ropes, and his skin was almost torn.

But she looked at the heavy things on Baoyu's back and shook her head, "We have only walked a third of the way, and we have to rely on you to lead the way later. Don't worry about me, save your strength first, just in case."

What her sister said made sense. Baoyu wiped his sweat, called for soybeans, and continued to climb.

This forest was much lusher than the vegetation in the mountains behind Zhoujiacun. Along the way, Zhou Chenyu saw many strange and strange species. He had the illusion of setting foot in a primeval forest. Before he had gone very far, he was captivated by the mysterious and magnificent scenery in front of him. .

The dense leaves blocked the blue sky above, and strands of sunshine fell like golden threads. The roots of the trees were covered with layers of fallen leaves, and no trace of soil on the ground could be seen at all. Regardless of the caves hidden under the leaf litter, every step forward must be carefully explored with wooden sticks.

Baoyu hasn't set foot here for a year, and the road he walked in the past has been completely occupied by weeds and fallen leaves. Relying on the remaining memories, he used a knife to brush aside the weeds blocking the road and climb up.

Zhou Chenyu followed him, and every time he walked, he used a knife to cut a hole in the tree to make a mark to prevent him from getting lost and returning.The two walked at a brisk pace for an hour, climbed over a mountain, and collapsed in front of a small mountain spring and waterfall. Huangdou saw a small pool of water, jumped in, and took a gulp of water.

The view in front of the waterfall is wide. Looking out, you can see the mountains surrounding Qingshui Town.

Baoyu took out the dry food from his backpack, gnawed the buns and looked for the way around.

Zhou Chenyu was so tired that he was about to stop eating. He took off his backpack, picked up the water from the waterfall on the spot, and washed his face. When he saw him coming back from exploring the road ahead, he asked, "How long do we have to go?"

Baoyu pointed to the higher mountain range behind, "Sister, we will follow this road to the top later, and then climb over the mountain behind."

The one at the back?

Zhou Chenyu looked up and saw that the mountain seemed to be right in front of him, and it was only a little higher than the current one. It should be effortless to walk on it.

"Finally we're almost there." She breathed a sigh of relief, but the next second she was frightened by Baoyu's words and tensed up her nerves. "But this mountain is not only forested, but also covered with rocky cracks. We all call it Stone Mountain. When we left, You have to be more cautious at all times.”

"Be careful." Zhou Chenyu took a bite of the dry food fiercely and remembered these words.

After a short rest, they put their backpacks full of things back on their backs and started on the journey again.

Baoyu was right. As soon as Zhou Chenyu stepped into the stone mountain, he saw a lot of gravel falling on the ground, and plants and vines growing out of the gaps between the stones.

There are many stone cracks and traps here, but the wonderful thing is that there are very few weeds that can survive, so there are basically no intricate weeds blocking the road. At a glance, there are only straight trees and thick roots struggling to survive on the rocks. .

However, walking further in, Zhou Chenyu really understood what Baoyu had just said. On one side was a mountain rock wall, on the other side was a steep cliff slope. There was only a narrow path in the middle that could only be used by one person. If he stepped on the wrong foot, he would roll away from here. If you go down, you will either die or be disabled.

"Sister, be careful on the way down!" Baoyu climbed the stone wall to the opposite side and stopped, stretched out his hand, and stopped on the opposite side to wait for her.

Zhou Chenyu grabbed his hand, felt the texture of the stone wall, and cautiously walked over. His hanging heart followed the falling gravel, but he was still frightened by the bottomless deep hole in the crack in the stone wall in front of him. arrive.

Huang Dou stood at the door and barked three times inside. There were intermittent echoes and quiet wind inside, as if a female ghost with long hair in white clothes would float out at any time. Compared with this place, escaping from the escape room was a piece of cake.

Zhou Chenyu only glanced briefly and quickly caught up with Baoyu, walking with a one-story-high boulder blocking his way.

Her eyesight almost went dark, and most of her energy was gone. "Baoyu, you won't lead me the wrong way, right?"

"Sister, I have walked this road more than ten times. I will never forget this place if I forget it! We just have to climb over this rock." Baoyu grabbed the thick vines attached to the boulder and climbed up step by step. Go up.

Zhou Chenyu looked around. Next to the boulder were all slopes with a slope of [-] degrees or more. It seemed that the only way to go was to climb up the boulder. "Help, is it too late for me to regret it now?"

Baoyu took off the backpack, turned around and shouted: "Sister, don't be afraid, you take off the backpack, I will pull the backpack up, and then I will pull you up."
