Chapter 271 The Little Clay People Who Were Tricked
When Zhang Moyu and the other reliable guys had finished sewing raincoats made of waterproof cloth to block mud and water, and brought them over to use as camouflage to isolate the air, this was the scene they saw.
Every single one of them looked like they had rolled in a mud puddle, with not a single spot clean from head to toe.
Zhang Qiling and Zhang Haishe stood a little further away from the others, watching the battle in silence.
There was a big melee among several people in the quagmire, which could be roughly divided into three camps. One was Wuxie, Fatty Wang, and Nan Xihe, one was Wu Sanxing and Pan Zi, and the last one was Hei Xia Zi fighting alone.
The two small groups headed by Wuxie and Wu Sansheng were fighting back and forth very fiercely. Hei Xia Zi was sandwiched between them, like a troublemaker. Sometimes he helped Wu Sansheng beat Wuxie, and sometimes he pretended to accidentally knock Wu Sansheng off balance.
"Have you guys had enough of the trouble?"
When Zhang Moyu saw this absurd scene, he tried to hold it in, but finally couldn't help but yelled loudly.
Let’s forget about the other youngsters, but Wu Sansheng and Hei Xia Zi, the two older ones, who originally looked like one steady and the other sensible, are now fooling around with the youngsters!
As the elders of the Zhang family who had accumulated power for a long time, as soon as Zhang Moyu spoke, Zhang Haishe, Nan Xihe, Hei Xiazi, and even Zhang Qiling all stopped their original actions instantly and came over very obediently.
Wuxie and Fatty Wang also followed the crowd and stood in front of Zhang Moyu like quails.
Zhang Moyu looked at them with a headache, then looked at the raincoat he had sewn with great difficulty.
I originally thought that they didn't bring much waterproof cloth, and what would happen if not everyone could have one of the temporary raincoats they made to keep out mud and water.
Now he doesn't have to worry about it anymore.
Because half of the people present now have already made their choice.
He, Zhang Benling, Zhang Ruiping, Jie Yuchen, Aning and Jie Lianhuan all had one and some more.
When Zhang Moyu thought about it this way, he no longer felt so angry about these little brats making him look like a mud monkey.
The child is still young, so what if he is a little naughty?
In the years when he was the clan leader, he had been bullied by the children in the clan. If he got angry every time something went wrong, he would have been pissed to death by those little bastards who weighed 100 pounds and 99 pounds were rebellious.
He would just pretend not to see such a harmless little thing.
Anyway, no matter how big a mess his children get into, he will eventually have to forgive them like an old father.
Instead of dwelling on things that might annoy him, it's better to skip the topic and see what to do next.
As the instigators of this incident, Zhang Qiling and Hei Xiazi did not express any opinions on it.
Wuxie and the others who were tricked here widened their eyes when they saw the raincoat in Zhang Moyu's hand.
Then I saw that after Xie Yuchen and the others put on their raincoats, they simply splashed a layer of mud and water on the outside of the raincoats, and their anti-snake measures were successful.
Looking at other people's clean homes and then looking at their own messy ones, several people instantly felt unbalanced.
Wu Sansheng's gloomy gaze fell on his beloved nephew. If Wu Xie hadn't tricked him, he would be the only one who was there cleanly now.
Moreover, Wuxie grabbed him and threw him into the mud while he was still trapped in his sleep, without caring about the uncle-nephew relationship at all. It was really a waste of his love for this kid for so many years!
Wuxie and the others all looked at Hei Xia Zi in unison, ignoring Zhang Qiling, whose expression had softened due to guilt.
After all, the reason why they were covered in mud was because of Hei Xia Zi's active misleading and Zhang Qiling's silent indulgence.
At this time, Zhang Qiling's credibility and character were considered to be top-notch in their eyes, and he would definitely not think of cheating them.
Eliminating only two options, the culprit can only be the black bear!
He was forced to take the blame, but the not-innocent Hei Xia Zi felt a little numb under the gazes of the crowd. He turned around and saw the half-smile on Jie Yuchen's face, and he felt sick all over.
It's fun to have fun for a while, but it would be even better if you weren't held accountable afterwards.
I always feel that another beloved little money is about to leave him...
Hei Xia Zi was thinking about all sorts of things, but he put on a pleasant smile on his face and spoke nicely to a few people.
After letting him get away with it, they packed up their things and set off with their bags.
Zhang Benling took the initiative to tell Zhang Qiling and the others that when he was patrolling nearby in the morning, he saw a rocky mountain here.
According to his calculations, the best way to go here is this way. The other directions are either swamps or snake dens. Although they are not dangerous enough to risk life and death, they are more difficult than each other.
With the road surveyed in advance, they soon arrived in front of the stone mountain. The mountain wall in front of them was as smooth as if it was carved by a knife or an axe, but there was a pile of rocks in the gap in the middle of the mountain wall.
The rocks and walls were covered with unknown vines, and it was obvious that no one had been here for many years.
"The stone walls here are smooth and flat, and it's obvious they were built by humans."
Xie Yuchen used a stick to pick up a piece of vine, and saw the smooth and flat stone wall behind it, and spoke softly.
"This proves we're on the right track. If we find traces of human activity, we're not far from finding the ruins of Queen Mother of the West. Judging from the hexagram we saw earlier, the path should be just behind us."
Zhang Benling has now put away his precious pure gold coin with Qilin pattern. Now that he has already touched the periphery, he should have a way out. Basically, he doesn't need to calculate anything else.
After all, fortune-telling looks easy, but it is actually very brain-intensive. If he could be lazy, Zhang Benling would not want to work so hard all the time.
"It seems like we have to conquer this small rocky mountain first. With Tian Zhen and Xiao Nan's physical condition, climbing up it would be difficult. How about we blow up this rocky mountain and solve the problem once and for all?"
Fatty Wang looked at Wuxie and Nan Xihe with a hint of worry. The physical fitness of these two people was worse than the other. Fatty Wang felt that it would be faster for him to carry out precision blasting to blow up the mountain than for these two to climb the mountain.
Anyway, he had enough explosives in his bag this time and didn't feel sorry for wasting them, so he could play with them however he wanted.
"Fatty, who are you looking down on? Even though I'm much weaker than you in physical strength and martial arts, climbing a mountain should still be easy for me!"
Wuxie rejected Fatty Wang's kindness with dissatisfaction, and Nan Xihe nodded and said proudly that he now felt like a calf, extremely strong.
