Chapter 674: Entering Wushan
"Madam, there is still some in the pot. Do you want to put some outside?" asked Wang Er's wife.
Tang Li smiled and said, "Thank you very much, sister-in-law."
Wang Er's wife went to get another basin and placed it outside with a stack of bowls next to it.
She was a little curious and stared at the pot, but she didn't see any people or animals appear.
When she was distracted and not paying attention, when she looked at the basin again, it was empty!
Wang Er's wife was very surprised.
After eating and drinking, Tangli asked everyone to take a rest and told them that they would go into the mountains early tomorrow morning.
In the evening, good news came that a young man from the village was willing to take them into the mountains!
The young man was called Ah Hu, and he was eighteen years old. His father was killed by a wild beast when he was young, and he and his mother depended on each other for survival. His mother was frail and often sickly. Ah Hu once went to the depths of Wushan Mountain to search for medicine to treat his mother's illness. He was the only person who had entered Wushan Mountain and returned.
Wang Er brought Ah Hu to them.
Ah Hu is a tall young man with an honest face.
"Ah Hu, you are to lead the way for this lady." Wang Er pointed at Tang Li.
Ah Hu looked at Tang Li and his face suddenly turned red.
"My benefactor, Ah Hu is a dull boy. He gets so shy when he sees girls that he wants to hide his face in his crotch. Don't mind him. He is an honest boy, very filial and reliable." Wang Erdao.
"Your name is Ah Hu?" Tang Li looked at him.
Ah Hu nodded.
"Madam, Uncle Wang said there's money for leading the way..." Ah Hu said in a low voice.
Tang Li immediately took out a silver ingot from his bosom and handed it to Ah Hu: "This is the deposit. When the time comes, I will give you the remaining half."
Ah Hu held the silver tightly.
"We plan to set off tomorrow morning. Thank you for your hard work. Have a good rest tonight." Tang Li said.
Ah Hu nodded and turned away.
The next morning, Ah Hu came with a rope and several sticks.
Before leaving, Ah Hu pulled Wang Er aside.
Ah Hu handed the silver ingot to Wang Er...
Wang Er was startled: "Ah Hu, what are you doing?"
Ah Hu's face flushed: "Uncle Wang, can I trouble you for something? If I can't come back, can you take my mother to see a doctor..."
"Pooh, pooh, pooh, what do you mean you can't come back? You better come back safely. Your mother is still waiting for you to take care of her. I can't take care of her that well!" Wang Er said repeatedly.
"That Wushan..." Ah Hu frowned, obviously feeling that this trip would be dangerous.
Wang Er looked at Ah Hu and sighed, "Ah Hu, why don't you just not go? I'll talk to my benefactors, they won't force you."
"I have to go. Mom's illness is getting worse day by day. Uncle Wang, you can keep her here for me first."
Wang Er had no choice but to take it for him first.
Tangli led Sanbao out of the room, and the others also came out, everything was ready.
Ah Hu came over and gave each of them a stick. He took the knife and carried the rope on his back and led them out.
Wang Er stood at the door, watching them go away, their backs disappearing into the mountains and forests.
"Dad, look at this!" Wang Er's wife ran out with a silver ingot in her hand. "I found it when I was tidying up the beds where our benefactors lived."
Wang Er quickly realized that this was left to him by his benefactor.
Last night, his benefactor wanted to give him money, but he refused to take it.
If it weren't for his benefactors, he would have lost his life. How could he still ask for money from his benefactors just for a meal and a night's rest?
"Since the benefactor has given it to me, I might as well keep it."
Wang Er's wife couldn't help but touch it twice. It was the first time she saw so much money. With this money, they would have a better winter.
Wang Er sighed softly. Everyone had left, so he had to keep the things even if he didn't want to.
I hope both my benefactors and Ah Hu are okay, that my benefactors can find their nephews, and that Ah Hu can return safely.
In the mountains and forests.
Ah Hu walked in front, and Tang Li and San Bao followed closely behind.
"There is fog in the mountains and it's easy to get lost. You have to follow closely." Ah Hu said. He stopped stuttering but still kept his head down, not daring to look at anyone.
Tangli also reminded the people behind him.
It was indeed much easier with Ah Hu leading the way. When the sun was blocked, he could also determine the direction based on the density of leaves, the depth of bamboo stems, etc.
At the beginning, the road was easy to walk on, but it became more difficult as time went on.
The mountain road became steeper, but we couldn't stop. The further we went in, the colder it got, and the longer we stopped, the more dangerous it would be.
A cliff blocked everyone's way, and the cliff was three people high.
"I'll climb up and pull you up from above," said Ah Hu.
This was a difficult hurdle. He almost fell to his death here.
It's okay for him to go alone, but it's very difficult to lead so many people up.
He brought the rope with him just to climb this cliff.
Just as Ah Hu was about to climb up, a hand reached out to him.
Ah Hu looked up at the man, his face suddenly turned red, and he lowered his head.
The most impressive person in this group was the lady. The lady had a dignified temperament. He had never seen such a woman before, and he dared not look at her directly. But this man also impressed him. Although he was a man, he was more handsome than the woman. He looked very frail, taciturn, and cold, and followed silently at the end.
Ah Hu was a little worried about him and often looked back, afraid that he would be lost.
"Give me the rope." Du Ye said.
Ah Hu didn't understand why, but he still gave him the rope.
Du Ye took the rope, took two steps back, and with a light push, he landed on a tree. Then, using the force, he landed on top of the cliff.
All this happened in a very short period of time.
Ah Hu was completely stunned, his mouth wide open.
This person looks frail, but he's actually so powerful?!
Du Ye tied one end of the rope to a tree and threw it down.
Sanbao ran over, grabbed the rope and climbed up, and soon he reached the top.
Ah Hu opened his mouth a little wider.
This little girl looks spoiled, but she is so powerful.
Tangli climbed up, followed by Wangyou, Ahu, and the guards.
The degree of success was far beyond Ah Hu's imagination!
On the way, Ah Hu couldn't help but secretly look at Du Ye.
"This is my master. He's very powerful." Sanbao said, plucking a bamboo leaf and shaking it. "Master can kill people with just a bamboo leaf!"
A bamboo leaf flew out with a whoosh and nailed the poisonous snake that was about to attack Ah Hu to the bamboo.
Ah Hu turned his head and saw Du Ye withdrew his hand.
Du Ye performed a powerful performance of using bamboo leaves to kill poisonous snakes.
Ah Hu's eyes widened.
From dawn to dusk, Ah Hu took them to a cave to rest.
This was the place he discovered that year. At that time, he happened to encounter a black bear and hid in this cave for two whole days.
They rested in the cave for one night and continued their journey the next day.
The road was much easier to walk on the second day, but Tangli did not feel relieved. He always felt that there was an inexplicable danger waiting for them.
Ah Hu also became more cautious and made careful distinctions before continuing forward.
As they walked, Tangli felt something was wrong.
Tangli looked at the crooked tree next to him and thought it looked very familiar. "Did we just pass by here?"
