Chapter 45 045: Killing the chicken to scare the monkey, the future training ground (2)

He suddenly stood up straight and waved his hand in front of Gui Shang, "How can we let you, village leader, go alone!"

This seems like how cowardly he is. The leader of the village is not afraid, so why should he be afraid?
He turned his head and looked left and right, and finally came to a very hidden place that would not be discovered unless he looked carefully.

The man stepped forward and pushed the vines blocking the road to both sides, revealing the "path" inside.

——No, it can’t even be called a road.

The man scratched his head. The 1.9-meter man looked a little naive, "Zhai Leader, what I didn't say just now is to tell you that this is the only way up the mountain. You can only see waterfalls along the Tianhe River. Can’t get up there.”

Gui Shang raised his head and took a quick look. Looking at the rugged "path" that was barely trodden by humans, he couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

Good guy, can this also be called a road? ?

She took a few steps forward and stood on the same level as the man.

"Is this how you usually go up?"

The man nodded, "Because we rarely need to go up there, we rarely climb up there."

"Only when we first built the stockade, we went up there more often, but in recent years we haven't gone up that much."

Gui Shang looked at the crooked-neck tree growing next to the "path", as well as the wild grasses and wildflowers that were almost half a man's height beside the "path" and various scattered stones, and he felt a little reluctant to continue going up.

So she turned to look at the man next to her, "Based on your previous steps, how long will it take us to get down?"

The man thought quietly on the spot for a while, and his brain began to spin rapidly to find the memory that he had forgotten in the corner. He said with great certainty: "It took us nearly half a day just to climb up. Although this The road didn’t seem too long, but it was really difficult to walk, so it took me so long to climb up.”

Gui Shang glanced further up, thinking about what the man just said.

Half a day was still too long, and it wasn't too early now. Her frail and sickly body couldn't endure such a long time!

So Gui Shang immediately changed her plan to go to Jinghu Lake. She continued to ask the man: "What about the road to the back mountain, which leads to the cliff behind Qingyun Village? Is it better than Jinghu Lake?" Is it easier to walk closer?"

The man nodded affirmatively, "That's natural. It's not just easier to walk, it's a lot easier to walk! It'll probably be there in less than an hour or so!"

"Okay, then let's go to the back mountain first. As for Jinghu Lake and No Man's Ridge, we'll have a look after tomorrow's affairs are dealt with."

*
In this way, the two of them temporarily changed their routes, and Gui Shang could clearly see the man breathing a sigh of relief.

Gui Shang was curious about this. He didn't look like he was afraid of going up the mountain to Jing Lake. So was it because there was no one in the mountain?

That’s what she thought, and naturally she asked the same question.

"Hey, why are you so afraid of No Man's Ridge? Is there some special saying in your village?"

When she was discovered by those two people, she hurriedly found a way and went in. Apart from anything else, the fog inside was really thick. Now that she thought about it, it was strange that she could still come out intact after going in like that. Fateful.When the man was walking on the road, he heard the village leader ask. As he walked, he bent down, lowered his head and looked around cautiously. Finally, he leaned a little closer to Gui Shang's ear and said in a low voice: "The village master." You came late, but you didn’t know it. In the past few years, the uninhabited ridge was nothing. At most, the fog was a bit thick and the road was a bit complicated."

"But recently, probably as early as two years ago, I heard that people from the village walked deeper into the village. It happened to be dark at that time. It is said that they encountered a female ghost wandering in the mountains while walking on the road. , but it scared them quite a bit!”

"Later, some brothers who didn't believe in evil insisted on forming a team to go in to see what the 'female ghost' looked like. Those people were so scared that they ran out! They were ill for a long time before they recovered, and there were a few more He didn't even have time to run, he just died there!"

When he said this, the man's expression was a little more sad and scared. At that time, he almost went in. Fortunately, the master came to him for something, otherwise he might be one of the people who stayed inside.

Gui Shang touched his chin. A female ghost was unlikely, but there was a female doctor.

However, she did not say this conjecture out loud. She just listened quietly to the man's story while walking, walking a little faster than usual.

The two of them just chatted all over the world, until they were about to reach the cliff behind the mountain, and the man couldn't help but ask in the direction of returning to business.

"Then village leader, what are we going to do there?"

Gui Shang said as he walked, "Go and inspect the site to see where it is more suitable as a training ground."

The man became even more confused about this, "But Village Master, don't we already have a training ground in our village? And given our current situation, we don't really need training now, right?"

The two of them walked all the way to the cliff of the back mountain. Gui Shang looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and saw endless darkness in front of him.

Occasionally, wolves howled intermittently from a distance. The wind was stronger than in the village and on the road, making her hair flutter and the corners of her clothes flapping.

The two of them just stood here, looking down at the cliff not far away as if they were overlooking it.

The moonlight seemed to be pouring on the cliff, and the two people could vaguely see each other clearly, and also cast two long shadows.

Gui Shang's tone was a bit lazy, and he did not answer his question immediately. Instead, he asked back unhurriedly: "You want to say that we are much weaker than the former Qingyun Village, right? ?"

The man nodded without any hesitation.

Isn't this the obvious thing to do?

Most of the people were taken away by the former second boss. Most of the people left in the village now are old, weak, women and children with little fighting ability, not to mention a few more people from the Tiger and Snake gangs who are similar to them now. .

In this situation, why are they called bandits? Do they still look like bandits now?
Gui Shang looked calmly at the endless sky and earth with a faint tone.

"No one is born strong. Even the establishment of a country has to grow from weak to strong."

"If they can do it, why can't we?"
