At this time, the sun was high up in the sky, and it was almost afternoon.
On the ground not far away, there was the corpse of a horse that had been gnawed on. After going around in circles, they returned to the camp from before.
Although it hadn't been long, the turbulent experience made everyone feel as if they had seen the light of day again.
"I'll go get the horses. Let's go back and make a fortune!”
Kaixuan chuckled and ran towards the thief cave in the middle of the valley.
Soon, he returned with the horses, followed closely by eight large dogs.
The operation in the Savage Valley had basically emptied out all the valuable things here. There was no need to stay any longer.
Just one word, retreat!
However, at the last moment of the retreat, there was a problem.
Yingzi's horse had been bitten to death by the Great Sloth. There were only four horses left, and there were five of them.
The journey back to Ganggang Camp was bumpy and dangerous. There were mountains and ancient forests everywhere. In this situation, losing a horse was undoubtedly a great pressure.
Kaixuan scratched his head and suggested,""Why don't Sister Ying ride with me?”
"With your weight, do you want the horse to die of exhaustion?”Hu Bayi said unhappily.
"Then I'll give the horse to Sister Ying. I'll sit with you.”Kaixuan said.
Hu Bayi was completely speechless.”
"Then what do you think we should do?" Kaixuan widened his eyes.
Hu Ba looked at the burly Lu Hu and said,""How about this, I'll go with Godfather Qin and let Sister Ying ride alone. This way, the pressure on the horse will be reduced.”
The two of them were in a heated discussion, but Yingzi ignored them.
She quickly walked up to Qin Chuan and stretched out her fair and tender palm. She smiled and said,"You don't have to worry about it. I want to go with Brother Qin.”
Qin Chuan calmly sat on the horse's back. After pondering for a moment, he said,"Front or back?"
"Let's go ahead!"
He didn't say anything else. He reached out and pulled Yingzi onto the horse's back, his legs pressing against the horse's belly.
The hooves of horses were like rain, piercing through the forest.
He disappeared into the dense ancient forest.
……
They had climbed over mountains and crossed rivers. The hardships they had gone through were not enough to describe to outsiders.
Five days later.
Qin Chuan and the others once again saw Oxheart Mountain rising from the ground, as well as the tents erected by the river bank.
The archeological team's camp was relatively deserted, with only a few people guarding it.
Yingzi was more curious about the archeological team's choice. She went to check it out halfway and came back."Brother Qin, Professor Chen and the others didn't choose to dig the entrance under the waterfall. Instead, they chose to dig all the way down from the top of the mountain along the collapsed crack.”
Yingzi seemed to have thought of something as she covered her mouth and laughed."Only his student, Ye Yixin, is at the campsite. The others are digging up other people's graves in the mountains.”
Perhaps it was because of Qin Chuan, but she didn't really like the archeological team. Her words were full of ridicule.
After she finished speaking, she stepped on the stirrups and nimbly got on the horse. Her graceful figure was as light as a swallow returning to its nest.
"Yeah, I saw it too."
Qin Chuan nodded noncommittally. His arms passed through Yingzi's armpits and grabbed the reins of the horse.
He gently pulled.
"Phew! Phew!"
The steeds neighed loudly, their limbs crisscrossing as they galloped like sharp arrows.
Yingzi rested her back on her broad chest and smelled the strong masculine scent in her nose. She could not help but sing softly,"Vast and vast, the snowy plains are cold and piercing. Prancing horses are stationed in the east, and the sun shines on the border. Dragons fight in the wild, and their blood is black and yellow. The wind perches in Cangwu Mountain, comforting my son. In the past five thousand years, who would dare to challenge the edge of the sword? In the next 5,000 years, all the romance will be applauded."
The tone was rhythmic and long, carrying a lofty spirit that could not be concealed by mountains and rivers.
As she chanted, she suddenly said softly,""Brother Qin, when we get back to Ganggang Camp, are you guys going to leave?”
"Why do you ask?"
Qin Chuan lowered his head and looked at her quietly.
"The furthest place I've been to is the nearby town. What's the outside world like?”
Yingzi raised her small head, and there was a hint of longing in the depths of her clear and bright eyes.
"The outside world is very beautiful, but also very cruel…Complicated "
Qin Chuan looked at the majestic mountains and rivers before him and said seriously,"But it doesn't suit you. You're a child raised by the mountains and belong to this land.”
"Oh?"
Yingzi slowly lowered her head, her eyes dimming.
In a slightly fearful and uneasy mood, everyone finally returned to Ganggang Camp, this familiar homeland that made her a little afraid.
He did not stop walking and soon returned to Yingzi's house.
"Godfather Qin, you're finally back.”
Leather Bag came up to him with tears in his eyes. He was so excited that he almost knelt down.
"Get lost. Don't look at me with such disgusting eyes.”
Qin Chuan grabbed Yingzi and jumped off the horse, kicking him.
"Hehe, I miss you too much. I can't sleep well without you.”
Leather Bag laughed strangely. When he saw the distance between the two of them, the smile on his face gradually became wretched.
"Hu Zi, teach him how to smile.”
Qin Chuan let go of Yingzi and left without looking back.
Soon, Bao Bao's heart-wrenching pleas for mercy came from behind him, shocking the uncles and aunts of Gang Gang Ying. Even the New Year pigs in their village did not cry so miserably during the New Year.
After the brief interlude, Qin Chuan took the lead and stepped into the courtyard.
Whether it was the courtyard or the house, it was filled with antiques and cultural relics that had been purchased. Most of them were collected last time, and some were bought by Bao Bao himself during the time he was in the village.
Qin Chuan skimmed through the items and began to store the antiques he had purchased into the virtual space.
Bao Zijing, who was following closely behind him, was so shocked that his eyes were about to pop out. However, he maintained his silence and tactfully forgot about what was happening in front of him.
"Ask if you have anything to say." Qin Chuan looked at him.
"Hehe, I won't ask, I won't ask."
Leather Bag shook his head and smiled.”
Qin Chuan didn't say anything more and changed the topic,""Then we'll pay!"
Leather Bag took out his notebook and said,""This time, we bought 368 antiques from the villagers, spending a total of 1.876 million yuan. I've cleaned up everything from porcelain, stone jars, and iron cauldrons to small pots and pans.”
Qin Chuan nodded silently. The value of these antiques and cultural relics would at least double if they were returned to the White Jade Pavilion. Some of the exquisite ones could even be worth ten to ten times more.
In addition to the things he brought from Savage Valley, the trip to Gang Gang Ying Zi had earned a lot of money and ended perfectly.
After collecting the antiques and cultural relics.
Qin Chuan waved his hand, and a portion of the supplies he brought back from the underground fortress of the Guandong Army was piled up in the courtyard.
"What are you doing outside? Tell them to come in and distribute the supplies to the villagers. After we're done, we'll return to Changsha City directly tomorrow.”
