Chapter 16: The First Entry into Black Wind Village

Wang Baoshan's eyes were blindfolded, and he couldn't see what was happening around him, and could only hear the constant sound of footsteps. He was pushed forward, and he was not allowed to stop for a moment.

I don't know how long he walked, but he seemed to feel like he had passed most of the day.

There were more footsteps, the clash of swords, the swing of clubs, the shouting of people, all kinds of conversations...... Wait, it's noisy, it's not lively. I thought that I might have arrived in the Black Wind Village.

"Fifth brother, are you back?" someone came over to greet Li Jin.

"Well, you go and bring Sanniang, Mr. Zhao and the other leaders to the Juyi Hall. ”

"Yes"

Wang Baoshan heard Li Jin say a simple word to the man, and he listened to the man's footsteps and walked away. was pushed in the back again, obviously to be taken to some Juyi Hall.

What made him speculate and uneasy was that when he entered this Black Wind Village, the surroundings were obviously much cooler than other places, and it was not at all as hot as usual, as if he had suddenly entered the dry and cool Mid-Autumn Festival from the scorching summer.

I don't know how long he walked, but he felt like he had reached the place, and he was pressed to his knees. Because he couldn't see everything around him, he was terrified, and he didn't know what was going to happen next, and he didn't dare to move, so he had to kneel on the ground honestly.

Maybe this place is the Juyi Hall that Li Kou said, but it feels a little colder than the outside. In addition, people pass by from time to time, and the footsteps are noisy and messy. Although no one spoke, the atmosphere was very panicked, and he couldn't see it, so how could he not be afraid.

Just as he was flustered and trembling, the black cloth covering his face was dragged down.

Wang Baoshan blinked, suppressed his heart, and looked at everything around him with a frightened face, and his heart was horrified.

He found himself in a large cave, wide and tall, surrounded by black stone walls, with iron pots in the corners of the pots, and the firewood in the pots was burning vigorously. The flames soared into the sky, illuminating the entire huge cave in a dim and bright light.

On a huge stone platform in the depths of the cave, there was a large pear blossom chair, a tiger skin with spotted hair, spread from the back of the chair to more than two feet at the foot of the chair.

The tiger's head is still on this tiger skin, the tiger's eyes are slightly open, the tiger's mouth is closed, and the beard is raised. The whole tiger skin lies on the ground, like a living king in the forest, resting and sleeping here at this time, looking as if the tiger roaring in the mountains and forests in a dream, competing for hegemony among the wild beasts, so not mighty.

Behind this tiger chair is an offering table, in the center of which is an empty knife holder, on the left and right sides of the shelf, the red wax of the candlestick stands high, but the candle flame on it is swaying without wind. Behind the knife holder, a huge banner hanging high on the stone wall also danced.

When I looked up, I saw that in the middle of the black cloth flag, there were two vigorous and powerful white characters 'Black Wind'.

Candles explode and lights flutter.

In the glimpse of the light, the black wind banner with white characters on a black background has no wind blowing, but it automatically dances non-stop, which has the meaning of turning over. Wang Baoshan, who was watching from the audience, had a delusion: The Black Wind Banner was not a dead thing.

Before he could take a closer look, under the stone platform, in the middle of the hall, among the two rows of big chairs that were pressed, one person stood up, looking at the big flag on the high platform, and groaned for a while, as if he felt everything.

The man had a broad forehead, narrow cheeks, sparse and soft hair, and a small goatee on a pointed chin, and the appearance of an old pedant who had read the books of the sages.

He is Zhao Qingshan, who is sitting in the fourth chair in the Black Wind Village, and is nicknamed the Prophet Scholar.

"Sir, we have just caught these four men on our way through the mountains, and among them are the sons of the Orion of Josir. Li Jin, who was sitting in the fifth position on the left, interrupted his thoughts with his mouth.

After Zhao Qingshan heard this, he walked to the middle of the two rows of big chairs, Wang Baoshan and the four of them, and quietly watched them without speaking, not knowing what they were thinking.

Li Jin saw that he was silent, and he also stood up and asked him, "Now that the second brother has gone to the city, why did Sanniang also go?"

"Yes, Sanniang also went to look for the owner. Zhao Qingshan didn't look back, still watching.

"These four people, sneakily staying outside the mountain, I'm afraid it's a little strange, but when it comes to Luo Orion's son, I can't call the shots alone, so I brought them back. What do you think, sir?"

Zhao Qingshan heard what he said, walked up to Luo Ying, looked at it, and did not speak.

walked up to Wang Baoshan and Sanpi again, looked at it for a long time, and still didn't speak.

Finally, he walked in front of Du Xiaosan, pondered for a long time, and his right hand unconsciously raised the goat's mustache.

"What are you doing here in the Black Wind Ridge?" he said after half a salary.

Luo Ying looked at Wang Baoshan and the others, and when he saw that they didn't dare to speak, he opened his mouth and said, "We want to worship in Heifeng Village, Mr. Zhao." ”

"Do you recognize me?" Zhao Qingshan's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"I've heard my dad say that there is a prophet named Zhao in Black Wind Village, and I think you are. ”

"Okay, since you want to join Black Wind Village, it's okay. I'll have you rest. Zhao Qingshan nodded to him, and as he spoke, he asked someone to take them out of the Juyi Hall.

As soon as Wang Baoshan came out and looked around, he realized that this place looked like a manor, and it was clearly a small town with a considerable scale.

Surrounded by mountains on all sides, there is a large open space in the middle, covering a large area, almost nearly a thousand acres. Hundreds of stone chambers of different sizes, scattered and messy, are all built on large stone mountains in the open space, and it seems that those stone mountains are directly hollowed out, and then the doors and windows are chiseled, densely shaped like honeycombs.

Countless paths paved with stones connect them one by one like spider silk. There are also several avenues running through it, dividing them into several areas of different sizes, and several relatively flat open space platforms, scattered in various places, Yanran is a place for people to move.

At this time, on every flat ground, there are dozens of men wearing various colored clothes, holding javelins or swords, and they are practicing martial arts with a murderous sound, sweating like rain, the momentum is so loud, and the majesty is serious.

Wang Baoshan's four people, followed by two men in gray tights, came to a stone chamber community near the east.

Along the way, there were also quite a few people passing by them, and everyone was wearing the same tights, but in different colors. They all looked hurried and busy, and no one looked at them more, busy with their own affairs.

"You guys are new to the city, and you still don't understand a lot of things, so just wait a few days. The man who led the way, looking at them with a shocked face, said with kind words.

"Thank you..."Wang Baoshan saw that his face was quite kind, and hurriedly thanked him.

When they came to the door of a stone room, the man said to them, "If there is something in the village these two days, do not run around, but rest here in peace, for when you are eating, someone will bring you food, and if you are thirsty, there is a well not far away, so you can go and fetch some water to drink." ”

When the man had finished speaking, he went away with his companions.

When Wang Baoshan saw that they were gone, he pushed open the door of the house made of wooden planks and entered the stone room.

I couldn't see anything outside just now, but when I came in, I found that although the stone room was not big, it was still very spacious for the four of them. Except for the two stone beds, there is a stone platform, and a few dusty clay pots are quietly pestled on the stone platform, which has obviously not been used for a long time.

It's a little simpler, but compared to the thatched shack I lived in before, I don't know how many times stronger, because I don't have to worry about wind and rain.

What is even more worthy of his joy is that this stone room is not stuffy, and it is a little cool, so that he doesn't have to worry about the heat unbearable, he is afraid of the heat in the Li family mine.

A sudden change made him feel like he was in a dream, and it took a while before he came to his senses.

Seeing that everyone was relieved, he picked up a slightly larger clay pot and wanted to fetch some water and come back for everyone to drink. As soon as he went out, Luo Ying followed, also holding a clay pot in his hand, obviously also wanting to fetch water.

"Thank you, Brother Luo, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't be able to get in. ”

"It's fine. Luo Ying's attitude towards him was obviously better than others, and he smiled when he thanked him.

"Uncle Luo, you're quite familiar with the people in the village, right?"

"My dad is friends with the owner. Luo Ying thought about it and said it anyway.

"No wonder..."Wang Baoshan listened, and saw that Luo Ying was a little hesitant, so he didn't ask any more.

The management in this black wind village is still very strict, from time to time you can see the villagers patrolling with weapons, some of the stone room gates are strictly guarded, and even the wells are guarded by special personnel.

Wang Baoshan and Luo Ying, it took a lot of effort for the boss to say all the good things before they were willing to let them fetch water.

Fortunately, neither of them is a complaining person, and when they first came here, they had to follow the rules in everything and didn't dare to offend people.

When it was almost dark, someone brought them a meal, and to their surprise, it turned out to be all kinds of vegetables, steamed, fried, fried, and fried, all of which were served in clay pots, and there was also a large wooden barrel of rice outside.

Wang Baoshan was eating rice, his eyes were a little moist, and he thought that the food in this Black Wind Village was really good, where had he eaten a meal like this before, which made him feel moved for a while.

The same is true of Sanpi, who is even more moved than him, eating with tears in his eyes. While eating, he said, "I can't imagine that I can eat such a good meal, if I can do it every day in the future, I am willing to do anything." ”

When he said this, the others didn't react, but the two men who brought them food laughed a lot, holding their stomachs and laughing for a long time.

Wang Baoshan's face was so red from their laughter that he lowered his head, only cared about the rice, and didn't dare to look at them.

Sanpi didn't care at all, he ate with his own vegetables, and from time to time he put vegetables in the bowl for Wang Baoshan and Du Xiaosan, and said: "Big brother, third brother, this dish is delicious, you can eat some..."

"Okay, good—" They took it and ate it, and didn't say much.

After eating, Wang Baoshan and the others who delivered the meal left, so he asked Du Xiaosan: "Third brother, what's wrong? I see that you have not been very happy?" When they had just eaten, he saw that Du Xiaosan was a little abnormal, and he always looked preoccupied.

"It's okay, big brother, I'm just a little unaccustomed to it. Du Xiaosan smiled at him reluctantly.

Sanpi listened, but walked over and touched Du Xiaosan's forehead, and said, "It's not hot! Why don't you get used to it, there is a place to sleep here, and there is such a good meal." ”

Du Xiaosan didn't speak when he heard this, he lowered his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Okay, second brother, he may not have eased up for a while, I think it will be fine in a few days, and slowly get used to it. Wang Baoshan comforted Sanpi.

"Did you sleep?" asked from outside the door.

Wang Baoshan hurriedly went over to open the door, and found that it was the two gray-clothed men who brought them before, only to see that the two of them were holding a bundle of straw. He also brought over the iron pots and other items that Li Jin had confiscated earlier.

"This stone bed is too hard, and it is a little cool at night, so I will bring you some straw and spread it, so that you can sleep at night. The good-faced man said to them with a smile.

"Thank you so much, I don't know what to call the two big brothers......" Wang Baoshan hurriedly took the straw and said gratefully.

"Hehe, my name is Xu Feng, this is Chen Hu, we are all helping under Mr. Zhao, since we have entered the village, we will be called brothers in the future. ”

"Yes, Senior Brother Xu, Senior Brother Chen..."Sanpi took the straw from the hand of the man named Chen Hu and nodded hurriedly.

"It's not too early, you should rest early! If you have any problems, you can go to Zhao Zitang, which is not far from here, and look for us. After Xu Feng finished speaking, he left with Chen Hu.

Wang Baoshan sent them out of the door all the way before he came back to lay straw.

The other three obviously didn't, so he had to lay straw on both stone beds by himself, and when the straw was laid, it would be much more comfortable to lie on them.

Four people, two stone beds, how to sleep has become a problem again. Luo Ying was reluctant to sleep with others, which made Wang Baoshan a little difficult, so he had to accommodate him to sleep on a stone bed alone, Sanpi and Du Xiaosan to sleep on a stone bed, and he planned to sleep on the ground himself.

When he was about to sleep, Luo Ying, who had just been lying down for a while, suddenly got up again, helped Wang Baoshan to his stone bed, and let him sleep with him.

Wang Baoshan was made to laugh bitterly by him, and he had nothing to do about this little hunter, so he had to let him.

Finally able to sleep peacefully, not long after lying down, he heard the snoring of Sanpi and couldn't help but smile.
