At the foot of the sacred mountain.
In the distance, a group of people were walking towards this side.
In the team, Bai Ying and Bai Mo walked one after the other.
Bai Mo carried He Shiwen, who pretended to be unconscious, on his back. During the journey, He Shiwen couldn't help scratching the itchy corners of her eyes when no one noticed. When Bai Mo found out, he slapped her naughty little hand.
He Shiwen felt extremely aggrieved and buried her head even harder in Bai Mo's shoulder.
Bai Ying didn't notice the two people's little actions. At this moment, she was completely immersed in the scene she saw with her eyes -
The sunlight from the sky shines down, giving a layer of golden light to the mountains that are looming in the mist, like a magnificent painting.
At the foot of the mountain, there are lush forests on both sides like a green ocean, and the air is so fresh that it seems to be able to purify people's souls.
Just as I was enjoying the beautiful scenery, I suddenly heard someone shouting not far away.
"Is there anyone here? Help!"
The man's voice was filled with fear and pain.
Upon hearing this, the team paused and everyone looked confused.
"What's going on?"
"It seems like someone is calling for help."
Finally, it was Wang Tiejun who gave the order: "Let's go. I'll take some people over to take a look. You guys stay here."
He arranged for Bai Mo, Xiao Wu and several of Wang Tiejun's men to stay here. Ostensibly, it was to protect Bai Ying, but in fact, they were just watching the actions of Bai Ying and the others.
After hearing the cry for help, Bai Ying felt a little doubtful.
They had already reached the foot of the sacred mountain, and this unexpected incident suddenly occurred. For some reason, she felt that this matter might not be simple.
The other side.
Wang Tiejun led his men towards the source of the sound.
The sound came from a nearby forest. When they followed the sound, they saw a huge pit on the ground in front of them.
The pit was more than two meters deep, and there were two people at the bottom of the pit.
The two people were scratched by the bamboo poles stuck at the bottom of the pit, and both had injuries of varying degrees. It seemed that they accidentally stepped into the trap set by farmers for hunting.
Seeing Wang Tiejun and the others approaching, the two men in the pit perked up. The man with the baby face said excitedly, "Great! They're finally here! Can you guys please rescue us two brothers?"
"Where are you from? What are you doing here?"
Although the people in front of him spoke their local dialect, Wang Tiejun did not dispel his suspicions and immediately ask his men to take action. Instead, he first interrogated the two men about their origins.
The baby-faced man didn't panic. Instead, he said logically, "We are a pair of brothers from a nearby village. We heard that the goddess on the sacred mountain was recruiting, so we wanted to come to the mountain to find a job. We finally made it here, but who knew that when we went into the forest to pee, we fell into this trap."
At this point, the baby-faced man's face flashed with pain. "My leg was also pierced by the bamboo...hiss! It hurts so much."
Several people followed his gaze.
Sure enough, the man's calf was pierced by the sharp bamboo.
In order to hurt the wild animals that fell into the pit, some bamboo poles were specially placed at the bottom of the pit. One end of these bamboo poles was sharpened, and from a distance they looked like a pile of sharp swords.
Not to mention humans, even a wild boar with thick skin and flesh cannot withstand such an attack.
Although the person next to him was not injured as seriously, his clothes were torn into many holes and blood was seeping out. He looked very miserable.
"Let's discuss it."
Wang Tiejun did not rescue the person immediately, but took a few steps back with his men. They formed a circle and discussed the matter.
Looking at the group of people who were talking, the man who had been silent at the bottom of the pit suddenly looked up and gave the baby-faced man a resentful look.
Even if he deliberately smeared some dirt on his face, it could not hide his overly outstanding appearance.
This is a very handsome man. Age has not destroyed his appearance. Instead, it has added a bit of mature charm to him, making people unable to take their eyes off him.
He was not someone else, but Fang Qingquan who was abducted by Pei Zhenggang.
Fang Qingquan looked at Pei Zhenggang questioningly and asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say we were going up the mountain pretending to get medical treatment? How did it suddenly become about going up the mountain to find a job?"
Pei Zhenggang chuckled, his eyes darting around as he spoke, "It's all the same! It's all the same. As long as we can get up the mountain, does it matter what the reason is?"
Seeing that Pei Zhenggang didn't seem to be telling the truth, Fang Qingquan frowned slightly.
His intuition told him that Pei Zhenggang seemed to have not been able to hold his fart well.
Come to think of it, Pei Zhenggang is an investigator by profession, but he is not! Why did he have to call him over to cooperate with his actions?
Fang Qingquan vaguely sensed a conspiracy, perhaps targeting him...
However, no matter how Fang Qingquan pressed him, Pei Zhenggang kept his mouth shut and refused to tell the truth.
On the pit.
Wang Tiejun and others gathered together and were discussing whether to save the people or not.
"Brother Tiejun, should we save these two brothers?"
Some time ago, the goddess issued a strict order to strictly examine those who go up the mountain to prevent anyone who shouldn't be there from sneaking in.
Although the origins of these two people are a bit strange, they don't look like fakes.
after all……
Who is so smart as to poke holes in his own legs just to get to their mountain?
If such a genius really existed, they had witnessed him today.
Wang Tiejun thought about it and agreed.
