Chapter 5: The Red Fox

The next day, before the sun rose, Chu Yunqi and Xu Ang came to the first floor of the inn to finish breakfast, and when they checked out, they were told that all the expenses of Chu Yunqi here were recorded in the county governor's account, and then the county lieutenant reported (the Qin Dynasty was very strict in the control of commerce, many large shops, inns, etc. were owned by the imperial court, and private individuals were not allowed to engage in commercial activities), Chu Yunqi was not surprised by this, Daqin's intelligence ability was beyond doubt, and he went to the car shop to get the carriage.

Vendors on both sides of the road are also opening their shops one after another. Xu Ang deliberately slowed down and walked behind Chu Yunqi, carrying a sword and a wine jug.

The carriage was simply repaired, this carriage was originally dedicated to King Mu of Zhou together with the puppet of Kunlun Mountain, the puppet has long been lost for a long time, and its materials and craftsmanship are ingenious.

The materials and skills required for the carriage are determined that this is not a good thing that ordinary craftsmen can repair, and the carriage has been constantly traveling to various countries during the war years, and after Qin destroyed the Six Kingdoms, it was finally obtained by Qin Shi Huang Yingzheng, and then Chu Yunqi was given to Chu Yunqi because of his meritorious service in destroying Chu.

Looking at the world, only the public losers, the Mo family and the Yanshi heirs have the ability to completely repair Chu Yunqi's carriage.

Liquor store

The shopkeeper opened the door of the store early, put the wine out, calculated the time about the time to look like the hour, the sky was not very bright, the wine that the customer with the sword asked for yesterday, the shopkeeper could only send it around the hour.

The sun rose higher and higher, and the shopkeeper came to the wine shop when it was almost dawn, and told the shopkeeper to hand over the wine paste to the other party when the guests came.

At about three o'clock in the morning, the shopkeeper saw a black carriage coming from a distance, and the carriage stopped in front of the restaurant, and Xu Ang stepped down from the carriage.

"Little Er, is my son-in-law's wine cream ready?"

"Okay, this is the wine you wanted. As he spoke, he handed the gourd containing the ointment to Xu Ang, and put the other gourds with sake into the carriage.

After paying the bill, Xu Ang drove the carriage out of the wine store and drove out of the city.

The carriage traveled for more than an hour, when the clouds gathered, the sky gradually darkened, and a light rain began to fall.

The rain fell, and it seemed to be blocked by an invisible wall two centimeters close to Xu Ang's body, and it paused, as if it was bouncing off all around.

A flying kite flew from the rain towards the carriage from a distance, circling around the carriage without stopping.

"Lil"

Xu Ang pulled the reins and stopped the carriage, stretched out his hand, and the flying kite flew down on Xu Ang's hand, took off the bamboo tube contained in the flying kite's body, and looked at it.

"Childe, there is a letter from the eldest son. Xu Ang turned to the car and said.

Chu Yunqi opened the bead curtain and stretched out his hand to take the flying kite and the sealing tube, poured out the letter and opened it, and wrote, "Your Majesty has ordered Xia Wuhe to lead the people of the Seven Star Hall to go, be careful, Meng Yi." ”

--According to Meng Yi's letter, His Majesty sent Xia Wuhe to arrest Chu Yunqi, and there must have been an ambush by the river, if the detour takes too long, Chu Yunqi can't stop Xia Wuhe and the people of Qixingtang if he wants to go. First go to Yunmeng Mountain to find Guiguzi's seniors and ask him to help see if he can stabilize his injuries first, and with the help of Guiguzi's intelligence, see if he can find the person he is looking for.

"Childe, should the trip to Yunmeng Mountain be postponed?"

"No, I don't know if I have time to come back in the future. ”

Yunmeng Mountain

The rain gradually stopped, and the sky slowly cleared, and the sky after the rain was like a pure blue crystal, and the carriage traveled between the mountain roads, and the bells on the carriage made a crisp sound from time to time, and the sound gradually spread into the distance.

Yunmeng Mountain in autumn has also been gradually dyed golden, and from a distance, it looks like a fine bronze ware that has been slightly corroded.

At the foot of the mountain, there was no carriage in front of him to go up the mountain, looking at the peaks in front of him, Chu Yunqi frowned, it seemed that he had to look for them one by one.

"I'll go up on my own, and you'll wait for me here. ”

"Yes, be careful on the road. ”

Chu Yunqi got out of the carriage, greeted Xu Ang, and walked towards the mountain alone.

The mountain road is rugged, there is no trace of human survival, walking alone among the trees, there are many strange flowers and trees in the mountains, watching the leaves of different colors fall like snowflakes among the surrounding trees, scattered in the grass between the mountains. Birds flutter back and forth among the trees, and from time to time there is a crisp chirping.

From time to time, the roar of the beast came from afar.

After walking in the mountains for two or three hours, the sky gradually darkened, and the mountains and forests gradually became foggy, and a ray of afterglow shone in the thin mist through the gaps in the leaves of the mountains and forests, making the already beautiful mountains and forests even more like a fairyland on earth, and who knows what kind of danger is hidden behind this beautiful scenery.

Chu Yunqi stopped and looked up at the sky, and said secretly, "It seems that I can't find it before dark, so let's find a place to spend the night first." ’

After walking another way, we came to a stream where the water was so clear that you could clearly see the fish swimming freely in the water.

Chu Yunqi was not far from the stream, put down his bags, came to the stream, pinched a sword finger in his right hand, and a little forward, a sword qi shot out, the sword qi crossed the water, the stream was divided into two, and the disconnected stream leaked out of the riverbed about two meters wide, and the fish suddenly lost the water and looked panicked, jumping around on the stones of the riverbed.

Chu Yunqi's gesture changed, his sword fingers turned into palms, and he grabbed a large fish on the riverbed, grabbed the void, and sucked it up in the air, and the disconnected water quickly closed and collided together, splashing a large crystal clear splash, the splash scattered and fell back into the water, the water surface gradually returned to calm, and the fish in the water swam freely in the water as if nothing had happened just now.

Around the four sides of some medicine powder to repel snakes and insects, he lit the dead branches he picked up with a fire breaker, roasted fish with his left hand, picked up the fruit picked in the mountains with his right hand and ate a few sips of wine, and from time to time picked up the wine jug placed beside him and drank a few sips of wine, feeling in his heart, 'I don't know when I will be able to ignore those rights and wrongs like today and live a simple life.' ’

Thinking about it, he felt a little stuffy in his chest, coughed lightly a few times, and a trace of blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth, and suddenly picked up the wine jug and took a sip of wine, and took a little healing medicine that he carried with him, temporarily suppressing the injury.

Recently, injuries have been getting more and more frequent, and I don't know if my body can hold up until I find someone to heal me, and I can't help but smile bitterly when I think of this.

Gradually, the fish on the bonfire had a hint of aroma, and the aroma dispersed, and suddenly the grass not far away shook slightly.

"Come out. Not long after Chu Yunqi arrived at the stream, he felt a peeping sight, but he didn't feel malicious and didn't care.

The grass shook much more than before, as if panicked, and soon the grass stopped shaking.

"The vigilance is quite heavy. ”

Chu Yunqi took a roasted ground fish and put it on a stone not far from the grass, then walked back to the fire and sat down again, picked up a roasted ground fish and raised it against the grass, Chu Yunqi knew that it was still there, peeled off the scorched place, tore off a piece of fish meat and put it in his mouth and ate it.

After a while, the grass shook again, and with the slight light of the fire and a little starlight, I saw a pair of ruby eyes looking at Chu Yunqi timidly through the gap in the grass, and walked out of the grass cautiously with a hunched body.

Finally, I was able to get a glimpse of it, a fox the color of a flame, swaying like a flame as it walked forward.

The red fox cautiously walked over to the stone where the fish was kept, reached over and sniffed lightly with its nose, which looked like a black pearl, and, when he was sure that there was no danger, picked up the fish and quickly retreated into the grass.

Chu Yunqi looked at the red fox's actions, smiled, picked up the wine jug and took a sip of wine.

As if sensing that Chu Yunqi had no malicious intent, the little fox stretched out his head again and looked at Chu Yunqi timidly.

"Do you want to?" Chu Yun raised the fish in his hand.

The red fox's ruby-like eyes looked at the fish in Chu Yunqi's hand and nodded timidly.

Chu Yunqi smiled lightly, took a grilled fish and walked towards the stone where the fish was placed earlier, looking at Chu Yunqi vigilantly, hunched over, ready to flee at any time. Putting down the fish, Chu Yunqi walked back to the fire and sat down, not looking.

Convinced that Chu Yunqi had no threatening actions towards him, this time the red fox seemed to relax his vigilance a little, walked to the stone, picked up the fish and walked into the grass.

Soon the red fox came out again, and this time the red fox seemed to be completely relaxed.

"Here, eat some more. ”

Chu Yunqi put the fish on a stone beside him this time

The red fox didn't make any movement but looked straight at Chu Yunqi, and then cautiously walked to Chu Yunqi's side, looking at Chu Yunqi vigilantly, as if to determine whether Chu Yunqi was really not in danger.

The red fox turned his head to look at the fish on the stone, gently rubbed his head on Chu Yunqi's leg, sat down on the spot, picked up the fish on the stone and ate it.

Looking at the little fox beside him, Chu Yunqi took a slightly larger pebble from the side of the stream, pressed it lightly with his thumb, pressed out a pit, and made a simple wine glass after a few clicks.

"Come, taste it too, I've never poured wine for anyone. Chu Yunqi put the wine glass in front of the red fox and poured wine into the wine glass.

The little fox stretched out his head and sniffed on the wine glass, probably because of the temptation of the sweet smell, or out of trust in Chu Yunqi, he stretched out his tongue and licked it lightly, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and he quickly licked the wine in the wine glass.

"Well, you like it too. Chu Yunqi smiled and took a sip of wine, and added some wine to the red fox's stone cup.

The wine in the glass soon bottomed out, and the red fox shook his body and shook his head slightly, trying to stabilize himself, but soon fell asleep on the ground.

"It's a pity, the amount of alcohol is not good. Chu Yunqi took a sip of wine and shook the wine jug, and there was a sound of wine colliding in the jug, it seemed that there was not much wine left.

He added some dead branches to the fire, took off his sword and flask, and set aside, crossed his legs to heal his wounds.
