Chapter 31 Something Happened in the Mountains
When Lu Jingheng put the dagger away, he knew that this woman was too smart. She could tell that his dagger was a saber after only seeing it once.
"Do you also know the treasure in this mountain?"
Lu Jingheng began to test: "Can you tell me what you know?"
Bai Yangfan refused proudly: "No, why should I tell you about the things in our mountains? Who are you? Do I know you?"
This sentence choked Lu Jingheng, making him unable to move. Yes, they only knew each other's names, not familiar with each other. Even though they were married in Liujia Village and had a wedding banquet, they were still strangers.
It’s just that his affairs are about the organization and secrets, so he cannot disclose them, otherwise it would be a violation.
He couldn't break the rules; that was an ironclad discipline. Once violated, it would be a lifelong stain, indelible. Furthermore, he couldn't be so selfish as to drag Bai Yangfan into this; he had no way of predicting what was waiting for him.
Although this woman is very outstanding and can bring him unexpected surprises, and he is willing to work with her, he still cannot let her get involved in danger.
I feel a bit contradictory.
Lu Jingheng was being unreasonable and unreasonable: "Of course you know me, I'm your man Lu Jingheng!"
"We broke up. You're not my man." Bai Yangfan's expressionless face was not moved by Lu Jingheng's words. Instead, he said cleanly, "I don't have a man."
The man who mustered up the courage to say that he was Bai Yangfan's man suddenly felt as if he had been ruthlessly ravaged by frost. He hung his head and said nothing.
I reminded myself not to be impatient and to take it slow. If I angered Bai Yangfan, I would suffer the consequences.
Lu Jingheng: “…” You are such a cheapskate. When people were interested in you, you were so cocky. Now that they don’t care about you anymore, you’re trying to curry favor with them. Lu Jingheng! I despise you. You are such a cheapskate. You are such a cheapskate.
He criticized himself harshly in his heart, and watched Bai Yangfan continue to walk into the mountains, following him closely.
Bai Yangfan was still digging for medicinal herbs, all sorts of them, until he had nearly filled a basket. Lu Jingheng had gone into the mountains, but without a specific goal, and he followed Bai Yangfan around bored.
At the beginning, he would wander around passionately, looking for what he wanted to find. After almost two years of hard work, he no longer knew where his goal was.
He could only wait and see, waiting for those people to appear. As long as those people appeared, he would have a target.
He did find two people in the county town, but they had been hiding in the county town and not going into the mountains, so where could he find his target? Anyway, Bai Yangfan went into the mountains today, so it was right for him to follow her, just as if he was accompanying her.
He sat bored and waited for Bai Yangfan to dig herbs. Sometimes he wanted to go up and help, but was afraid of being scolded by the woman.
I'm even more afraid of making her unhappy.
He had already succeeded in making her hate him, and not wanting to make her unhappy again, he could only sit aside obediently.
There was another sound of firewood being crushed in the front. It should be a large animal coming. Judging from the rustling sound of the firewood falling, it seemed that there was more than one.
He stood up nervously and ran quickly to Bai Yangfan. Lu Jingheng held a dagger in his hand. As long as that thing dared to come over, he would rush forward regardless of everything. He must protect this woman and let her escape as soon as possible.
Looking towards the source of the sound, I found that the blind bear that I had just rescued had returned, bringing with it a female bear and a cub.
Bai Yangfan glanced at Lu Jingheng with dissatisfaction and warned: "Put away your dagger. They are more sensitive to danger than us humans. If you don't want to die, hide your dagger and don't take it out casually."
Lu Jingheng paused and obediently inserted the dagger into his waistband.
For some reason, in the mountains, he absolutely trusted Bai Yangfan's words.
The injured blind bear ran over with a "hmm hmm" sound and stood opposite Bai Yangfan. He sniffed the scent on her hand, then sniffed Lu Jingheng's, and then went back to pass the scent of his nose to the mother bear and her cub.
Bai Yangfan also made that strange sound from his mouth, and then followed the big black bear.
Lu Jingheng didn't ask any questions. He just followed Bai Yangfan. He was sure that the black bear family of three must have come to report the news.
Something must have happened in the mountains.
Following the black bear to the edge of a steep cliff, Lu Jingheng's perception was correct. Something really happened in the mountains.
And what happened was not a small matter, it was a big matter.
About 500 meters below the cliff, in a slightly flat valley, someone had set up a tent.
There are two tents, one is grass green and the other is blue and white.
According to Lu Jingheng's judgment, this kind of tent is not produced domestically.
If it’s not domestic, then it must be from abroad.
In the open space in the middle of the tent, four people were fighting.
They fought against each other in pairs, and the battle was difficult to determine the winner.
Lu Jingheng was stunned and asked Bai Yangfan, "What did that blind bear just tell you? Did he report that there was a fight here?"
Bai Yangfan glared at the dog man unhappily and mocked him, "Do you think animals are human? Can they accurately describe an event? It just told me that humans are coming."
He tilted his head and thought about it, and felt that what Bai Yangfan said was right. After all, animals are not humans. It is impossible for them to describe something in such detail. At most, they can only give a hint of one or two words.
This is already very good. If it weren't for this family of three blind bears, he would never have been able to get here.
No wonder he couldn't find the foreigners. It turned out they were here to rob. Could it be that the Tomb of King Li was nearby? Otherwise, why would they set up their tent here?
He had very few clues beforehand, only that someone from outside the country was planning to steal the Li Wang Ding, but he had no idea where or where they were. To avoid alerting the enemy, he stationed his men in the county seat.
We dare not bring them to the mountains in a high-profile manner, because who knows when they will come and how many people will come.
What if we were to be exposed and let these people slip away? We would have worked so hard for almost two years and all our efforts would be wasted.
Seeing the four people fighting at the bottom of the valley, Lu Jingheng squatted on the side and watched calmly. As long as one side was defeated, he would immediately go down to deal with the other side.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, both sides were knocked to the ground. Lu Jingheng became excited and warned Bai Yangfan.
"You and your black bear friend wait here. I'll go down and take a look."
"I'm going too."
Bai Yangfan muttered a few words to the black bear, not caring about Lu Jingheng's expression beside him. He put on his backpack, grabbed a vine and swung down from the cliff.
This amazing move stunned Lu Jingheng. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that Bai Yangfan was so skilled.
She held onto the vine like she was swinging on a swing, and in no time she reached the bottom of the cliff, as if she was born to be the king of the forest.
