Chapter 24

Prepare

———————————————————

......

The horse was encountered in a nearby ravine.

After running away last night, this unlucky thing fell into the crack in the valley and stayed overnight. Finally, it was pulled up by 6 Ankang. Obviously, a horse could only be ridden by Su Xiaomei. After all, the relationship between the two was not as good as riding a horse together.

Especially in an environment like the Song Dynasty where feudal ethics were gradually trapped on everyone.

Fortunately, the mountain road is rugged and riding a horse is much less comfortable than walking.

The two finally found a remote town at the foot of the mountain before lunch time.

The economic development of the Song Dynasty was quite powerful. It was far better than the previous six Ankang during the Warring States Period. It was almost a radius of dozens of miles, with a small population. It was far less than what it is now.

In the town, 6 Ankang asked Su Xiaomei if she had ever carried silver on her body.

I don’t know if this girl really doesn’t have one, but she just won’t give it to her.

For a man who is very important to eat a full meal, he decisively sold the horse. Anyway, it was not his turn to ride the horse. But when Su Xiaomei learned the news, she was obviously so angry that she was so angry that she was thunderous.

In fact, this girl doesn't have much money either.

"My intuition tells me that your brother has encountered something not simple, so he has to spend money to prepare some special tools!"

6 Ankang tried every means to block the girl's mouth with a sumptuous meal. The two did not take action that day, so he asked Su Xiaomei to rest in the inn. After all, after a night and a day of trouble, even he himself needed to rest.

But before resting—

Inside the blacksmith shop.

6Ankang took his nameless knife and found the best blacksmith in the town, and asked him to help identify what material the knife was.

But from the blacksmith's frown, he could already feel it, and he didn't know it.

"What awesome guy!" The blacksmith waved twice and slashed the sledgehammer he had just made. The head of the sledgehammer was cut in half.

This blacksmith is very powerful, and the sharpness of this knife has passed the 6-healthy understanding again.

In the end, he bought a knife magazine from the blacksmith and put the nameless knife in the knife magazine and carried it on his back. After all, such a sharp knife, 6 Ankang was afraid that the scabbard would be cut off and hurt himself again. He also bought two light swords from the blacksmith to carry it with him.

As for the next, the grocery store and other places went there for a while.

After preparing the cinnabar, yellow talismans, brushes, etc., we returned to the inn.

After a night of rest.

When I went to ask Su Xiaomei to set off the next day, Su Xiaomei's room was already empty.

The owner said that the girl left early in the morning.

The only clue is that the girl was asking about how to walk in the canyon last night.

“What canyon?”

6 Ankang asked anxiously. The owner said, "The canyon has no name... but we local people know that there is something strange about the canyon, and women's crying will come from time to time."

"How to go?"

"You can find it after leaving the town and going northeast to the mountain. You can find it after about three hills." The owner specifically instructed: "But you have to wait until night, because the canyon will only cry until night, so you can't find it during the day!"

......

Could it be that Su Xiaomei was sure where her brother Su Dongpo was because she could cry in this canyon?

No!

It is rumored that Su Xiaomei had a new idea, but she thought that this girl would not be so stupid and impulsive.

That means that this girl has been pretending to be confused from the beginning.

or......

"Does the Buddha Seal say more than one clue?"

6 Ankang thought about everything he could think of, and finally decided to make the last one: "It must be Foyin who also said this canyon that can cry, so Su Xiaomei dared to conclude that Su Dongpo was there. But isn't she a little girl's house afraid?"

6Ankang recalled yesterday that she threw phosphorescent at herself. Although the technique was not strong, she had practiced it.

It was just that the historical materials did not record Su Xiaomei's understanding of martial arts, and Ankang ignored this point. Now it seems... Su Xiaomei is really a first-class acting school.

I actually lied to this girl.

Especially when the owner said that Su Xiaomei also asked where to sell horses.

It was completely fooling myself from the beginning!

I dare not hesitate anymore, regardless of whether Su Xiaomei left alone because she didn't trust her. She had to hurry to the canyon where she could cry.

Although there was no horse, fortunately, I entered the mountain within an hour after leaving the town, so using horses was a waste.

When we arrived at the foot of the mountain, the horse's hoof prints on the road were clearly visible.

It seems that Su Xiaomei had just passed by here... and it won't take long to catch up. 6 Ankang tied the knife magazine on his back tightly, filled with the equipment he needed for this mission.

Bring some dry food that is enough for a few days.

I don't know that this trip is dangerous.

According to the locals, the canyon where you cry is extremely strange. It is so strange that it is just a legend, but you have seen it truly.

But many people know this.

......

What would a sense of existence look like if it is not a special legend?

The damp and cold air in the mountains and forests became deeper and deeper and gradually worsened. Even at noon, the extremely strong damp and cold air was still scattered under the shade of the deep mountains.

6 Ankang originally estimated that the horse that Su Xiaomei rode near the entrance to the mountain pass could be found, but now, the whereabouts of the horse have not been found. In front of him, the mountain road is so rugged that it is a problem even if it is stable, let alone riding a horse.

Or maybe at the entrance to the mountain pass, Su Xiaomei found another way?

6Ankang continued to move forward, and according to the shop owner's words, he climbed over three hills and turned to the near the canyon where he would cry.

But it's just nearby.

When 6 Ankang really arrived there, I only knew why the owner said it was nearby.

As soon as the third mountain fell, the scene appeared was a mountain that seemed to have cracked eight roads, forming eight valleys, hidden in the clouds and mists ahead.

Find one of the eight?

This is obviously not an easy process.

And the most important point is that there is a difference between valleys and canyons.

A valley refers to a low and narrow place between the two mountains, with many streams flowing through it. The canyon is a valley with a steep slope greater than the width of the valley, a V-shaped valley. For example, the Three Gorges and other places are canyons.

But according to the nearby mountains and rivers...

The possibility of a Grand Canyon here is not high.

So, when the eight valleys appeared in front of him, 6 Ankang stood there in a daze.

Could it be that the marking of the Human Skin Road was wrong? It was not a canyon, but a valley.

But even in the valley, it is not easy to choose one of the eight right at this moment.
