Chapter 166 A Different World
Well, if it’s Lu Xingluo, then there’s nothing to worry about. What’s more, with him, Ding Xiaodie can continue to be her self who hides her shortcomings. So she stood up with a smile.
"Well!"
Lu Xingluo was shocked.
"Xiao... Xiaodie?"
Could it be that he is dazzled?
The second young master couldn't believe his eyes. He rubbed them hurriedly and looked out. Sure enough, the girl was looking at him with her back to the light, smiling like a dandelion in the wind.
"Is it really you?"
Lu Xingluo went from being shocked to being surprised. After asking this question, she turned annoyed and walked forward, "Ding Xiaodie, you just won't listen to me, right? You're so brave, aren't you? You're so young, and still a girl, and you actually dare... dare to walk so many mountain roads alone. Aren't you afraid of being eaten by the wolves in the mountains?"
Next sentence: "Be obedient and go back quickly."
Ding Xiaodie put her hands on her waist and smiled mischievously: "What? You want me to go back now, Second Young Master? You know how long it took me to get here. If you want me to go back now, I'll really be giving the wolf a hard time!"
Lu Xingluo was helpless. He frowned and said, "You little girl."
"So, take me with you. At least I can help you find the way."
"What are you good at?"
"Of course, my father left marks along the way when he went there. If you don't believe me, just look." Ding Xiaodie pointed to the vine ring hanging on a dead branch not far ahead. "See? That's what he taught me, so I was able to get here so smoothly."
“…”
This really broadened Lu Xingluo's horizons. He hadn't expected that the father and daughter of the Ding family would have this trick up their sleeve. Well, he had been wandering around in the dense forest alone before, and felt dizzy. It seemed that he had been worrying too much.
"But we don't know the Bingdong people, nor do we know what happened to my father and the others. How about this? When we get close to them, you hide in the woods and don't show up. Let me figure it out on my own."
Lu Xingluo smoothed a strand of hair that was caught by a dead branch. Image was important no matter what.
Ding Xiaodie pursed her lips and nodded: "Okay, everything is up to the Second Young Master to arrange."
Lu Xingluo no longer hesitated about whether to send the little girl back. He patted his chest confidently and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."
Ding Xiaodie: (*^▽^*)
The road ahead was almost entirely uphill, and the two of them advanced slowly. During this time, Ding Xiaodie even gave Lu Xingluo some water from the gourd bottle. Gradually, the mountain became steeper and steeper, and when they finally reached the top...
"careful."
Lu Xingluo, who was walking in front, quickly turned around and pulled Ding Xiaodie, motioning her to bend down. The two of them quietly hid behind a pine tree, their bodies pressed against the hot ground, looking down.
I originally thought that after climbing this hill, I would go downhill again, or I would climb over another mountain. I didn't expect that this hill was actually the end. Looking around, there were more than a dozen hills, large and small, forming a circular shape.
And at the foot of this huge circle of mountains, there is a different world, like a paradise.
There were small stone houses connected to each other, forming a circle and a row of houses, with houses behind the houses, layer upon layer. From a close look, it looked like a small village nestling in the world. However, from the perspective of Ding Xiaodie and Lu Xingluo looking down from the top of the mountain, those small stone houses were actually connected to form a Bagua formation.
Not far from the stone house, there are fields and land. Although it was a year of severe drought, this basin surrounded by mountains was actually growing lush vegetables, fruits and melons!
Uh, okay!
Ding Xiaodie now admits that she underestimated the third brother Bing. He is really the descendant of a hermit, and these people themselves are not simple.
Lu Xingluo exclaimed in amazement, "I didn't expect there would be such a scene in Dayun Mountain. If we had discovered it earlier, we would have become friends with the Bingdong people!"
“…”
People come here to live just to escape from the world. If they want to make friends with other humans, do they need to hide?
Ding Xiaodie was so upset, this logic was terrible.
She looked carefully into the basin: "No one from our group is in sight."
Moreover, the mark left by his father also broke here. Perhaps because they were approaching the village of the Bangdong tribe, the third brother Bang might have become alert, so he had no chance to leave a mark.
Lu Xingluo frowned slightly: "There is a way down over there, but if we go down now, we will definitely be discovered by them. Now we can only wait!"
"Yes, we'll wait for the right time."
Ding Xiaodie thought, it would be great if she had a telescope or something at this time!
The two of them waited for an hour and were almost exhausted. But what was strange was that not only did they not see their own people, but even the people from the Bingdong tribe did not show up.
Isn’t this too weird?
Ding Xiaodie whispered to Lu Xingluo, "Even though it's hot, it's not like the whole village is staying still, right?"
Even though the villagers of Aozigou were so hungry, some of them couldn't help but walk around when they were in Yangliu Town. What's more, they had picturesque scenery here, as beautiful as spring, and it felt that the basin was not as hot as the mountains.
Lu Xingluo pondered for a while, and finally remembered, "I remember when I was a child, my father once said that the people of Bingdong didn't like to come out during the day in order to isolate themselves from the outside world. Over time, this became a habit of theirs."
"What's up with that third brother?"
Not only did he go out in broad daylight, he also went so far away from the basin.
What confused Ding Xiaodie the most was that Bing Lao San's skin color did not seem like that of a person who only stayed active at night, because he looked very dark, just like every ordinary farmer, even a few shades darker than them.
Lu Xingluo said, "Going out at night is just a way of life for them. Besides, who knows how long Bing Lao San has been following us!"
Yes, maybe he followed them the night before!
Ding Xiaodie nodded: "In that case, let's quietly go down the mountain now!"
"No, you..."
Lu Xingluo hoped that she would not forget her previous promise, that for safety reasons she must not get close to the people of the Bingdong tribe, but before he could finish his words, the little girl had already bent down and walked forward!
At the same time.
In the chieftain's house of the Bingdong tribe in the basin.
Mr. Lu, Ding Gui and others have been sitting on both sides of the stone house waiting quietly since they entered the house. There is a wooden carved bed on the top of the house. There is a person lying on the bed. He is wearing a brown short coat on the upper body and a piece of animal skin on the lower body.
Although he was lying there with his back to everyone, one could tell from his disheveled snow-white hair that this patriarch was not young!
The old patriarch is sleeping now and no one dares to disturb him.
After bringing them in, Bing Lao San left only two words: "Wait."
Then he opened the door and walked out.
I originally thought that the waiting he mentioned would only last for a while, but who knew that during this waiting process, there was nothing else except the thunderous shouts of the old patriarch!
