C73 Nine mountains

"Sigh, I can't take it anymore …"

Before I could call out, Mao Dong had already plopped down on the ground.

This is because we are currently climbing a mountain. However, what I didn't expect was that this mountain was actually over a thousand meters tall.

Furthermore, the mountain road is extremely difficult to walk on. We have only walked for a little less than half a step, and Mao Dong and I have already completely lost all our strength.

The Brother Peng at this time had always been walking in front of us, looking calm and collected.

"What's wrong?"

"Brother Peng, I can't move, I can't crawl!"

Mao Dong sat on the ground, and didn't stand up again. Although I was standing, I felt that my legs weren't my own, and didn't have the strength anymore.

Brother Peng walked back a few steps, took out a cigarette, and lit it up for each of us.

"This is the shortest mountain here, it's only 1100 meters long. This mountain is your warm up, why is it not working now?"

"Warm up?"

When I heard the Brother Peng say this word, I was shocked.

This is called a warm up. We won't be able to eat a truly big meal because we won't even be able to get a warm up.

"Brother Peng, are you joking? This mountain does not look tall, but climbing it is unbearable!"

Mao Dong rested for a while, before I leaned against a big tree and smoked.

Brother Peng threw the cigarette butt on the ground, then clapped his hands and said, "Let's go, we're crawling again!"

She turned and led us up the stairs again.

Along the way, Brother Peng kept on telling me about the training sessions he had with a few of his brothers. He also mentioned that there were a lot of game and a river not far away, and although the river was urgent, the smell of the fish inside it is extremely good. This is because they are all wild, and sometimes they can even catch rabbits and snakes in the mountains.

Listening to the Brother Peng telling us stories while crawling, we gradually became less tired than before.

We did not know that soon we had conquered two-thirds of the mountain.

This place was actually called Hidden Dragon Mountain, the Ninth Uncle had lived here for generations and generations, moreover, they did not underestimate the Ninth Uncle. Back then, when the Brother Peng was here, it was all thanks to the Ninth Uncle guiding him and lending this place to the Brother Peng.

Brother Feng, who is currently with Brother Peng, and a person called Dao from Lidu City were all trained here a few years ago.

Hidden Dragon Mountain has a total of nine peaks, the shortest of which is the mountain we are climbing, which is called Nine Miss Mountain.

I wanted to laugh when I heard that. The other eight peaks are from one to eight.

Furthermore, this place has another legend that the Brother Peng also told us.

I loved to hear about these weird things since I was young. Naturally, I didn't want to let go of the legend of Hidden Dragon Mountain, so I closely followed the steps of the Brother Peng, afraid that I would miss anything.

At that time, there was a beautiful woman named Dragon Lady who was known as the Dragon Lady. It was said that the beauties of the outside world were unfathomable, and thus, countless literati started to come here in hopes of finding this beautiful lady, but at that time, this ancient city was very mysterious. Many people would get lost after entering it.

Later on, there were many Feng Shui Masters who wanted to break into this place, but what people didn't expect was that although one of them went in, the first thing he said three days later was that the person who came out was a deity.

When the crowd asked if he had seen this woman before, this Master Feng Shui nodded and shook his head.

He had chased after this woman for a whole day and night without any results, so he had no choice but to return along the same road. Along the way, he had seen countless heavenly soldiers, and after he had explained everything, this place had slowly been raised up by people, and they had even built many temples outside to pray for their blessings.

However, one day, a natural phenomenon occurred. A group of rainbow colored clouds descended onto the human world, and at the same time, a black cloud fell into the world.

After that, the ancient city was gone, even the surrounding temples had disappeared, and the beautiful woman inside had also disappeared. However, there were nine mountains in this place, and with the movement of the earth's crust, these nine mountains were getting taller.

Because of the beautiful scenery of this mountain, soon, people came here to live and slowly formed a village. After the legend spread, many people called this place Hidden Dragon Mountain, and these nine mountains were called Nine Dragons Peak.

"Haha, we're here!"

While we were deep in our thoughts, the three of us had already climbed to the top of the mountain. The air at the top of the mountain was exceptionally cold, but this feeling suddenly opened my mind.

Mao Dong and I sat on a large rock with our butts together. Just now, I was completely engrossed in Brother Peng's story so I didn't feel much pain, but at this time, the feeling assaulted me and caused me to completely fall into a state of endless pain. Mao Dong and I sat there breathing heavily, and I even felt as if my legs were about to break.

After resting for about twenty minutes, the Brother Peng laughed and said, "Alright, let's begin!"

As we spoke, we started down the hill!

It's not the same. It's hard to go down the mountain.

Along the way, Mao Dong and I nearly fell down the mountain a few times.

His legs were weak and he didn't have any strength left.

It wasn't easy to get off the mountain, and Brother Peng saw that it was already past eleven in the morning.

Brother Peng told us that the Ninth Uncle should be arriving soon, so the three of us walked towards the intersection that we went through last night, step by step.

Since we were on the night road last night, I took a closer look at this part of the road. I have to say that the scenery here is really beautiful, but this place is really inconvenient to do.

It took us ten minutes or so to reach the place where we had left the car last night.

Not long after, a black van drove over.

The car stopped in front of us, and I saw that it really was the old barbecue man.

The moment the Ninth Uncle saw us, he laughed and said, "Come here, help us carry our things!"

As he said that, he opened the car door. It was full of food, but they were all raw. There were five or six pig legs, a few chickens and ducks that were not slaughtered, some vegetables, and a big bag of rice. Finally, there were seven or eight boxes of beer.

At this time, Brother Peng gave Ninth Uncle a cigarette, and the two of them started smoking by the side. Mao Dong and I started to carry the cigarettes as laborers.

It's really a tough one. I was completely exhausted the whole morning. The moment I moved everything into the house, I was so tired that I laid down on the floor.

Mao Dong who was at the side became even more exaggerated, directly lying on the ground and falling into a deep sleep. He was so tired that he probably didn't even want to talk anymore.

And only at this time did Brother Peng and Ninth Uncle enter the house with a bag on their backs.

When Brother Peng saw us lying on the ground, he immediately told us to stand, we could not sit nor lie, we could only stand.

My God, I'm going to break down almost at once.

There was nothing left in my stomach for me to use my strength for.

Mao Dong squatted on the ground and shouted.

"Hungry, ah, hungry!"

Ninth Uncle grinned as he took out two roast duck that were cold from his backpack and handed them over to us. Mao Dong and I didn't think much about it at that time and took it and started to gnaw.

Meanwhile, Ninth Uncle and Brother Peng began to cook.

After we ate the roast duck, the Brother Peng finally sent us to rest.

Mao Dong and I immediately fell limply to the ground, found a large rock, and sat there with our hands on our heads, lost in thought.

His mind was blank as he tried to think of anything, but there was only a word to describe how tired he was.

At this time, Mao Dong said with a grin: "Brother Peng, when are you going to teach me martial arts? Last time you said you were going to teach me back, now you're going to teach me!"

Brother Peng removed the lid on the wok and laughed: "Wait until you guys get through the first five days!"

Mao Dong laughed bitterly: "Brother Peng, are you going to climb mountains in the afternoon?"

At this time, the Ninth Uncle laughed: "Young man, it is normal to suffer a bit. All these years, Xiao Peng's conditions were much harder than yours!"

I nodded. Naturally, when we were young, we would eat meat until our heads reached, and the poorer families all ate red rice and pumpkins. Although the food I ate when I was young wasn't bad, it was all earned from my mother's hard work, so I learned from my childhood that my mother was not afraid of hard work.

As I thought about it, I began to think about that night again.

"It's time to eat..."

Mao Dong, who was at the side, had already started salivating. I had to say that Ninth Uncle's cooking skills were really good, the meat that I made was smooth and not greasy. That afternoon, I felt that I ate a day or two worth of food, and just the fat had eaten ten pieces in one go and the white rice had eaten a total of six bowls.

"Eat more, we still have work to do in the afternoon!"

While we were eating and drinking, the Brother Peng laughed at the side.

Mao Dong immediately picked up a few pieces of fat and stuffed them into his mouth, as if protesting against something else.
