Chapter 61: The Merchant of the Wild Wolf Road
Obviously, Dian Yin and Liao Tingyun's explanations for Su Yue are both suspicious. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Little sister just said that you went out with a note, what note?"
"Brother, do you doubt me?" asked Su Yue with a smile.
"The general is an upright person, and righteousness comes first, which is obvious to all, so Dianyin never doubts the general, and is purely curious. ”
Su Yue laughed again and said, "I don't know who left that piece of paper, and I said that he knew the whereabouts of the parchment." When I chased it out, I saw a strange man in black chasing the mouse. As he spoke, he slipped the mouse out and spread it out in front of Dianyin with the note, "In a few steps, the mouse was shot to death, and the man in black disappeared." I ran up and saw that the mouse was holding a parchment in its mouth. ”
Norigen stepped forward to look at the note.
"Not a few pages?" said Dian, incredulously.
"No," Su Yue shook the parchment book, "I flipped through it, and some corners were gnawed by mice, but fortunately I didn't bite the words." ”
"Shop!" Su Yue shouted into the counter, "Come out quickly, add meat, this game is not something that can be tasted ordinarily." Shop!"
"This rat is afraid that he has a thousand years of skill and has cultivated to the fine, and I don't know from which compatriot I can inquire about the whereabouts of this strange book. Therefore, in the middle of the night, he used a demon spell, stunned us and others, and stole the book. It just so happened that a god secretly saw it, and he was afraid that this thousand-year-old rat would learn the spells in the book and harm the world, so he shot it to death with a magic arrow, and the thing returned to its original owner!"
After saying that, Liao Tingyun had already walked out of the room and walked down the escalator.
Su Yue had a slightly stiff smile on his face, and Tong Xi was still eating breakfast in the bowl comfortably.
As soon as Liao Tingyun came out, Dian Yin's face seemed to be smiling, and he lowered his head slightly and looked at her.
Su Yue raised the parchment book above his head with both hands, and said to Liao Tingyun: "Mr. Qingzhu, now it is returned to Zhao, please continue to keep it on your behalf?"
Liao Tingyun sneered and said, "The old lady doesn't have this face, you can keep it yourself." After speaking, he held the long sword and walked out of the inn alone with his baggage.
"Shop! shop!"
Su Yue's throat became significantly thicker.
The shopkeeper and Xiao Er watched Liao Tingyun walk away before they dared to come out to pick up the big mouse in Su Yue's hand, the guy didn't pay attention, and was about to run to the kitchen, but was stopped by the shopkeeper, took a look, and said to Su Yue: "Good man, this is not a big mouse, this is a local short-eared rabbit, you see, there is no tail behind this butt, only a handful of hair." ”
Dian Yin and Tong Xi both looked at Su Yue directly.
Su Yue coughed lightly, walked to the counter to ask for the account book, and turned a few pages. There are not many guests staying every day, he is very curious about the two people when the "crazy horse" comes, but there is only one when he leaves, these two are not suspicious, pointing to the list of "crazy horse" and asking the shopkeeper: "Who is this person?"
The shopkeeper glanced at it, thought for a while, and said, "It's the reckless man who quarreled with us outside the door when the hero came the day before yesterday." ”
Su Yue pretended to be curious and said: "That's not right, he was obviously the only one that day, and it was written that there were two people in the same room, and there were people sharing the room if the room was so empty?"
The shopkeeper said, "The guest has a partner, and he said that his partner suddenly left in a hurry." The guy kept saying that it was the thief who stole his money, otherwise why did he slip away first, but the reckless man said it was us. ”
Su Yue suddenly realized.
Although this matter is still a little strange, fortunately, the book has returned. Su Yue didn't say it himself, and Dian Yin didn't dare to ask.
Leave the inn. The four of them crossed Quming Road, getting farther and farther away from the center of Youzhou, and sometimes walked for several days without seeing people. When you are hungry, you will have dry food on the mountain spring, and at night it is also a tiger roaring with the cry of an ape, spending a long night. It was so deserted that they thought they had reached the edge of Youzhou. Sometimes standing on the top of the mountain, with a bird's-eye view of the sheep intestine path halfway up the mountain and the dense forests that seem to be like a small mushroom group, you feel like you have fallen into an endless maze of mountains.
But there is not a single grass in the middle of this path, and there must be a lot of people who usually walk. Su Yue thought of the merchant travelers who were robbed and killed by the "madman horse", they braved thousands of difficulties, was it just to get lost in this endless mountain forest?
Su Yue and Dian Yin both took out the book pictures and flipped through them. Fortunately, "Suoyu" and "Youzhou Geography and Customs" have maps, according to what is written in the book, Quming Road is the wild wolf road, and the closest to them is the country of good people, although the description on the map is not very detailed, but at least they have the bottom in their hearts, accept the book, and continue to hurry.
On this day, I finally caught up with a group of straw shoe merchants carrying carts.
Su Yue stepped forward to say hello.
"Hello folks~"
As soon as he finished speaking, seven or eight dark-faced merchants in front of him, wearing sweat scarves and coarse cloth clothes, turned their heads and looked at them in a daze.
Several merchants looked nervous, and one of them came over with a knife and said, "What are you doing?" Su Yue was about to speak, but saw that several people behind him had unloaded their burdens and carts, and secretly pulled out their knives and slowly followed.
These people must be accustomed to this road, and they are wary of seeing that almost all of them are armed in this trade, and they do not look like people who do business.
Su Yue put away the golden knife, tried his best to be humble, clasped his fists and saluted: "Don't worry, although we also have weapons, we are not from the green forest, we are just here to ask for directions." The leader of the merchant saw that he was still approaching, and said hurriedly: "Don't go forward, if you have anything to say, ask here!"
Su Yue looked at the interrogator in front of him, thirty or forty years old, tall and burly, looking steady, like a person with an idea.
"Where are you going?" Tong Xi saw that Su Yue was slow to speak, so he rushed forward. Dianyin hurriedly pulled her back, glared at her and shook her head, signaling her not to talk nonsense.
Su Yue pondered, these people were as vigilant as rabbits, Xiao Nizi's question seemed abrupt, and Dian Yin pulled it again, which made people think that there was a ghost, so he said: "Fellow countrymen, where is the place ahead?"
"You don't know where you are ahead, but you are going around in these mountains for no apparent reason?" said the leader coldly.
Tong Xi couldn't hold it back, and poked his head out of Dian Yin's body and said: "They are all very capable people, if they really rob you, you don't have to move those fancy intestines......" She was pulled by Dian Yin again before she finished speaking.
Su Yue's heart lit up, thinking that this reckless ghost was still clever. But he said: "The little girl's family, there are no rules at all." Before he finished speaking, he used to seize the knife, but the merchants didn't react, and in the blink of an eye, only the scabbard was left on his body, and the seven or eight knives in his arms, waist, and hands were all in Su Yue's hands. Those people wanted to get up and snatch it, Su Yue performed light skills, his feet were lifted, the hem of his clothes was lifted, and a whirlwind fascinated their eyes again. When he opened his eyes, the knife was all gone.
Tong Xi clapped his hands loudly and cheered.
Looking at Su Yue again, smiling and amiable. Those few people are also people who have seen the world outside all the year round, and after watching this play, they also know that the skills of the person in front of them will never do this, and it is not unreasonable to think back to Tong Xi's words. Seven or eight people looked at each other, and the leader turned his face and arched his fist towards Su Yue and saluted: "Heroes, this wild wolf road is full of barren grass, no one is inhabited, there are many green forest strongmen, the front is reckless, don't blame." ”
Su Yue waved his hand and said: "Where, where we are all carrying weapons, and we meet in this land of tigers and wolves, it is normal to have a misunderstanding." I don't know my hometown's surname, where is this goods sold?"
The merchant also humbly said: "The small surname is Ruan, the single name is a Kang character, a small local person in Cai County, these goods are shipped to the country of good people to sell." ”
Su Yue said: "It just so happens that we also go to the country of good people, but this mountain forest is boundless and winding, and we don't know the way." Can you get a ride with the folks?"
Ruan Kang doubted: "Hero, don't blame me for being suspicious, this place is called the Wild Wolf Road, and the nearest people are two days' walk away!
Su Yue smiled: "We have a book to show the way, but the book is not very clear." ”
"It looks like you don't look like people from the country of good people, and you're also in business?"
Dian Yin stepped forward and said, "We are going to Fengluo City in the north of Youzhou, I don't know if any of you have been there?"
Ruan Kang pondered for a while, then turned his head to look at his companion behind him, and everyone shook their heads. Ruan Kang turned around and said: "To the north of Youzhou, there are many cities and countries, and Fengluo City is really the first time I have heard of it. ”
An old man with a white beard behind Ruan Kang came up and said: "The old man went to some places when he was young, and Fengluo City has never heard of it, but after passing through the country of good people, most of them are in the circle of Qi people, and some Qi people are cruel to us people from the eight counties." If it's not about your life, it's better not to go to those places, where the money is not easy to make. ”
Ruan Kang stretched out his hand and introduced: "This is our old leader, he has been traveling south and north for a long time, and he knows a lot. ”
Dian Yin wanted to ask the old man, but was stopped by Su Yue, Su Yue knew what he wanted to ask, but he was afraid that he would directly ask about the entrance of the Central Plains, which would lead to suspicion. Su Yue asked the old man by himself: "The old boss really hasn't heard of Fengluo City?"
The old man shook his head: "I really haven't heard of it." ”
"It is said that the people there are dressed in strange clothes and look like people from the Central Plains world. Su Yue continued to probe.
The old man smiled slightly: "Don't think my old man is verbose, even if this kind of place really exists, it is also a nest of Qi people, if you can not go, don't go." ”
Youzhou up to the temple, down to the rivers and lakes, fighting and killing have long been used to fighting, killing and killing, no one will really retreat for a few words, even if it is Zhao Huang, Ding Zhan, Quan Fei who are kind words and persuasion, or the Zhuxin Master of Sanssouci Town who blocked their way, and Master Delong in Quan Ou's mouth, they can't stop the casualness of the people in the green forest. When apprenticing, the master will say that if you kowtow and take the knife, you will be worthy of the guy in your hand when you do things in the future!
