When he heard the shouts of killing, Xu Yan was helping several cooks prepare breakfast. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Is it time?" the fat chef scooped up a spoonful of gruel and drank it soundly.

"It seems to be ahead of time, I remember that the last battle should have been less than half a year. The other cook was not only shocked when he heard the shouting of killing, but seemed very happy: "Whatever, wait until three days are over, we can make a small fortune again, hehe, don't eat dead people's food, and be poor every day." ”

"Let's kill, it's best to let that group of border troops kill both sides, and the more people die, the more we can get rich." The fat chef laughed.

The faint shouting of killing came from the other end of the mountain, and some could be heard in the back kitchen, but it was not clear in the cottage, but the news of the big battle between the border armies of the two countries obviously made the Yuanshan bandits seem excited.

After a while, the news of flowing out of the back kitchen spread all over Yuanshanzhai, and some happy laughter could be heard from time to time.

"Dead man's rice?" Xu Yan asked Zhang He beside him while chopping wood: "How to eat, is it delicious?"

"It depends on luck, whoever is lucky will eat well. Zhang He smiled and said: "The good place I told you a few days ago is Qiyuan Gorge, this time the border armies of Qi and Pu seem to have started fighting a little earlier, I thought that after three months, I didn't think it would start in more than two months." ”

Looking at the honest and able little Taoist priest in front of him, Zhang He hesitated for a moment and said: "Forget it, take you there, don't run around when you go to the place, follow me, say it in advance, if you find something valuable, score half of me, it stands to reason that newcomers who have joined the cottage for less than three months are not allowed to leave Qi Yuanshan, who let me look at you pleasing to the eye." ”

"Okay. Xu Yan nodded vigorously and said, "If there are good things, they must be distributed to the donors along the way." ”

Every day, the benefactor shouted, Zhang He was used to it, he waved his hand helplessly, and he was busy with other things, at the beginning he was indeed not leaving, and after two months, he was too lazy to stare at a stupid little Taoist priest all day long.

In his opinion, even if this kind of fool who can eat and sleep runs away, at least save some food for Yuanshanzhai.

Three days is not a long time, and in the shouting and killing sounds that come from time to time in the back mountain, Xu Yan still eats sweetly and sleeps sweetly.

Since the goal is pigs, it is natural to be the same as pigs.

As soon as three days passed, before dawn Zhang He and Xu Yan set off first, turning over the hill where the Yuanshan Cottage was located, the two of them disappeared into the depths of the deep mountain forest, and after a while, the bandits in the Yuan Cottage left the village in groups of three or five, and the direction of the march was the back mountain.

On the west side of the mountain range, there is a huge canyon, and on both sides of the canyon are thousands of peaks, and the front and back are more than fifty miles away.

The mountain range on the east side of the canyon is called Qiyuan Mountain, but the mountain range on the west side is not called this name, it is called Linyuan Mountain, this huge canyon, is called Qiyuan Gorge.

Qiyuan Gorge is not only a gap in the Wanheng Mountains, but also the border between the north and the south.

The state of Pu is located south of the Qiyuan Gorge, and the state of Qi is located to the north of the Qiyuan Gorge.

The huge canyon is the only passage between the two countries, and the two countries also stationed a large number of border troops in the north and south of the Qiyuan Gorge, not only to guard the country, but also to deter each other.

The two countries are not friends, and if they have the chance, each wants to take a bite of the other's flesh.

Although there has been no war between the two countries in recent decades, but six years ago, with an order from the left minister of Dapu, the border armies of the two countries in Qiyuan Gorge had a large-scale conflict again, and this conflict has continued to this day.

In the past six years, every six months or so, the border armies of the two countries will meet in Qiyuan Gorge, and tens of thousands of people have fought to make this huge canyon a place of bones, and I don't know how many border troops have died, and the relationship between the two countries has gradually deteriorated.

What is somewhat strange is that no matter who loses or wins each battle, both sides have a very tacit understanding that they will withdraw their troops after three days, and will not invade the slightest territory of the other side, let alone break through the border and step into the enemy's territory.

On the top of the mountain at the top of Qiyuan Gorge, Xu Yan and Zhang He were lying on the stones and looking down.

Since it is a dead man's meal, it is naturally only after the person dies, and now in the Qiyuan Gorge, the final confrontation between the two armies is being staged, and when those border troops are alive, the Yuanshan bandits dare not go down.

As high as the top of the mountain, judging from Xu Yan's eyesight, the canyon is full of dense black spots, like two groups of ants fighting, but even so, the fallen figures on the battlefield are like harvested wheat fields, which is thrilling to watch.

"The two countries are at war, this is called life and death. Zhang He leaned on the stone and smacked his lips frequently: "If we let this group of evil stars rush into Yuanshan Cottage, I'm afraid none of us will survive, and the iron cavalry of the border army is much stronger than those rice bucket officers and soldiers." ”

"Do the two countries often fight?" asked Xu Yan curiously.

"It's almost half a year, it's never broken, since I came to Yuanshanzhai since I was a child, I will come to Qiyuanxia every six months. Zhang He said casually.

"Why are you fighting?" Xu Yan asked again.

"I heard that it was an order from the left minister six years ago, haven't you heard of the term treacherous and misleading the country, it is the left minister of the country. ”

"Why did the traitor mislead the country?"

"Treacherous ...... How do I know how he misled the country? Zhang He said angrily: "Before I came to Yuanshanzhai, I was a bookkeeper, and it was difficult to follow the master's family!"

"Account donor, did you kill someone too?"

"Kill a housekeeper, if you don't kill him, I have to die, when people get to that point, who can take care of others, what kind of account donor, you still call me a donor along the way, I'm used to hearing ......"

As the two talked on the top of the mountain, in the canyon, the army that had been fighting for three days finally retreated, and from above, the ant colony in the canyon seemed to have been cut from the middle, and the living retreated to the outside of the canyon, while the dead remained in this buried bone land forever.

"After the fight, let's wait, we have to go down at noon. ”

Seeing that there are Yuanshan bandits not far away who have begun to climb down the mountain, Zhang He is cautious, although this mountain is steep, it is not that it can't go down to the bottom of the valley, a rugged and steep mountain road has already been stepped out by the Yuanshan bandits in these years.

"The corpses below are all border soldiers, some of them are not dead, if you get closer, you will be given a knife, and you will return to the west, and the gang of killers will see the living when they know that they will die, and seeing the living is the same as seeing blood and food. ”

Zhang He turned over, lay comfortably on the stone, and said: "I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it doesn't matter if I am scalded by hot tofu, I will be aggrieved if I am scalded to death." ”

With such insight, it seems that this person should have suffered a loss.

The border armies of the two countries had already withdrawn from the canyon, and groups of Yuanshan bandits were like ghosts from the foot of the mountain to the battlefield, constantly rummaging through the valuable things on the corpses, some found some broken silver, some took off half a set of armor, and some got a sharp steel knife.

The dead man's meal in Zhang Hekou's mouth is to find benefits in this group of dead border soldiers.

Every six months, there is a big war between the border armies of the two countries, and every time there are at least thousands of people buried in Qiyuan Gorge, the border army also cleans up the battlefield, and it is a simple matter of cleaning up, and no one will move all the corpses back.

After all, this is a border area, and neither side dares to be careless, preferring to throw those corpses to feed the wolves than leave the opponent the slightest chance.
