Chapter 52 Crossing the River
"It's you who did this, right? I'm going to kill you!!"
The thin man, Wang Chong, held his swollen right hand, picked up the dagger angrily and wanted to kill Lu Yao first!
"Old Four!! It's none of his business!"
Xing Kun shouted sternly!
"Brother! It must be him who did this. Otherwise, how could the scorpion appear here?"
They knew that there were scorpions in the mountains, so every time they chose a place to spend the night, they would carefully investigate it to make sure there were no scorpion nests nearby, and only then would they feel at ease to spend the night!
The same happens this time!
Lu Yao laughed sarcastically, "What? Don't you have a brain or eyes? You chose the place yourself, and you cleaned the sleeping place yourself. I never approached you! What? You want to blame me for your own mistakes?
If I really wanted to fuck you, I wouldn’t bite a scorpion, but a pheasant’s neck…”
Pheasant neck is a kind of venomous snake with extremely strong poison. If bitten by it, there is only one way to go, which is death in these deep mountains and forests!
Although the man's explanation was perfect, this incident was too much of a coincidence!
Xing Kun, who was cautious by nature, still had a question mark in his heart, but because he still had to rely on the man to lead the way and reach Laoguoling as soon as possible, he couldn't offend the man for the time being!
"Okay, no one wants to have such a thing happen. I think everyone is tired of sleeping now. Fellow villagers, I think we should continue on our journey..."
Xing Kun smiled happily!
Turning back, his face suddenly sank, and after secretly giving the third brother a look, he told everyone to pack their bags and continue on their journey!
As the sun rose, the occasional sound of birds chirping could be heard in the silent forest. The road became increasingly difficult to walk on. Even though Lu Yao was always agile, he couldn't help but slow down!
As if he was not familiar with this area, the man frowned and stopped from time to time, carefully identifying the direction before continuing on his way!
Along the way, the man always picked up a handful of tough weeds, held them in his hands, and braided them.
If he came across any edible wild fruits, Lu Yao would pick a few to replenish water for himself and Wanru!
The third man in the black felt hat, who got the hint, always followed closely behind the two of them, watching their every move vigilantly!
Although being bitten by a scorpion is not fatal, it is really painful. He has to follow closely and not fall behind. The fourth brother Wang Chong's face gradually turned pale and he became more and more irritable...
I don't know how long I walked, I just felt that the sun was already high in the sky. After crossing a field of weeds half a person's height, a slowly flowing river that flowed to an unknown destination blocked the way of everyone...
"Where is this?"
Bearded Xing Kun frowned!
"It's a shortcut! After crossing this river, you'll reach Laoguo Ridge not far away. You can reach it overnight! No, if you want to bypass it, you need to pass through a section of the road with the most pheasant necks. At your speed, it will take at least one or two days! You can choose which way to go!"
The man smiled meaningfully again, and a hint of coldness quietly appeared on his face as he turned his back to the other men.
Xing Kun's face changed, he knew the road the man was talking about, the closest they had ever been to Laoguoling was when they turned back, the second brother also died there!
"Okay! Let's go this way!"
The man gritted his teeth and agreed reluctantly!
The boss agreed, and the others had no objections!
"Lu Yao, what should I do? I can't swim..."
