Chapter 139: Convoy
Out of the Yanyu Sect, Xu Fu stood at the foot of the mountain, he really didn't know where to go, although he wanted to leave the Yanyu Sect temporarily and practice, but there was no direction.
Wang Yuan said a purple bamboo forest, but he didn't say the specific location, let himself look for it, he didn't know where the purple bamboo forest was.
Looking back, I forgot about a towering mountain, and the buildings of the Smoke and Rain Sect were faintly revealed in the rain and mist.
Xu Fu clenched his fists, and then galloped away in one direction with some aimlessness.
This rush did not stop, and he flew for several days before he stopped.
The night was like water, and the mountains and forests were cool, Xu Fu stopped and rested on a dense tree.
……
Out of the city gate, there were dense mountains and bumpy roads everywhere, and last night, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and suddenly it rained heavily, and the wind and rain were combined, and it took a full day to stop.
The roads away from the city were already muddy, especially in the mountains and forests.
Many of the trees are sloping, and the branches are still dripping with water, and the soil under their feet is as thick as a swamp, making it difficult to move forward.
The heavy rain did not stop until the evening of the second day, but the time was limited, and the convoy did not have time to delay, and after a day's rest in the heavy rain, it continued to move forward in the night.
Dozens of carriages struggled on the muddy road, horses neighing and shaking slightly, and their bodies were splashed with muddy water.
"Quiet." The man in the carriage reprimanded, a little irritated, and patted his whole body with his hands, trying to drain the muddy water from the body that was shaken by the horses.
But muddy water is not as good as dust, and once it is splashed on the body, it leaves traces that cannot be beaten off at all.
"Damn it." He scolded angrily and slapped the horse's back fiercely.
The horses neighed.
This drudgery is not a human work.
The matter has nothing to do with him at all, but he is still responsible, and there are many complaints in his heart, and now that he has come this way, the weather is not too good, which is really unlucky.
"Hehe, Wang Manzi, what's wrong, if you have such a big temper, why can't you get along with a horse." A young man in the back rode to Wang Manzi's side on a horse.
"It's not this damn beast yet, look at me, when I come back from this mission, I'll kill this horse and stew it." Wang Manzi said fiercely.
"After driving for so many days, the whole body has long been rancid, everyone is a man, and they still care about this little detail, I said when did you Wang Manzi become such a mother, but if you kill this horse and stew meat to eat, I agree, count me as one." The former said.
"You have the knife handle, I think you have wanted to eat horse meat for a long time, you haven't eaten meat for so many days, I think you have already slandered." Wang Manzi squinted.
"Hehe, you've seen through it, it's all about eating anyway, so what's the matter with me." The knife handle laughed.
"Go, eat and kill your own horse." Wang Manzi said.
"Huh."
The knife handle smiled, and then glanced at the thick night, the distant night was like dark ink, there was no end in sight, everywhere was covered by branches and thorns hidden by the night, after a day and a night of heavy rain, the whole dense mountain forest was filled with a dampness.
The horses under the crotch all snorted fiercely.
"Wang Manzi, or we are still on the road tomorrow morning, you see that the sky is really dark, and the moonlight tonight is not as translucent as before, and you can't see the road in front of you, and this road is too difficult to walk, you see that the wheels of the carriage are covered with thick mud, even if we are in a hurry now, I'm afraid we won't go far, it's better for us to wait all night, maybe when the muddy water is dry, it's convenient to hurry." The knife handle analyzed.
"You also know that there are not a few days of effort, yesterday's heavy rain has delayed a day, if we are resting, I am afraid it will delay the trip." Wang Manzi frowned, and also glanced at the night in the distance, and the expression on the other party's face could hardly be seen in the thick night.
"Don't worry, this weather is dry, it is estimated that the muddy water on the road will stiffen up overnight, and then we will speed up some speed, otherwise this is not a way, it will only be more wasteful of physical strength, and the horses will be physically exhausted at that time, but the timing will be missed." The knife handle persuaded.
"This ......, in that case, well, then we'll hurry tomorrow." Wang Manzi made a decision.
So the row of wagons and the many men stopped their horses and set up camp on the spot, ready to settle down for the night and hurry for the morrow.
They were all experienced hands, but in a few moments, the carriage and the horses were tied, and under some big trees, some hay had been laid out on the carriage, and a pair of dry branches were lit under the trees, and the dazzling fire suddenly rose, and a group of people gathered around the fire, laughing and chatting.
Some of them took food out of their packages and handed them to everyone.
A few people caught it, took advantage of the firelight, ate the food in their hands, and drank a big sip of a pot of wine.
The spicy wine entered my throat, and my whole body warmed up and down.
"Go, send a few people in the carriage." Wang Manzi took out the food and handed it to one of the young men.
The young man was a little reluctant, but he still walked to several carriages with the parcels and handed them to the people in the carriages.
A few people by the fire looked at it, their faces a little uncomfortable.
"These people are really delicate enough, we are exposed to the wind and sun all day long, just to send them to the place, to greet them with good food and drink, and uncle, yes, I really don't want to serve." A seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy said unhappily.
"Okay, then what's the way, they can enter that kind of place, can you, offend them, unless you don't want to live, everyone knows how important they will be in the future." An uncle comforted.
Wang Manzi's face was gloomy in the firelight, and it was not very good-looking.
"What's the matter, Wang Manzi, is it also unfair in your heart?" Seeing this, the knife handle asked.
"Injustice, what, this is fate, and you have to endure it if you are unhappy." Wang Manzi squinted and poured wine into his mouth.
The knife handle pouted, but did not speak.
The hearts of the people here are not at peace, after all, it is the wish of many people to be able to enter that kind of place, and they can only be blamed for not having this blessing.
Of course, there were people in the carriage.
The handle of the knife rested against the tree, his hands resting on his neck, and the afterglow swept towards the rain.
The pair of siblings caught his eye again.
At a great distance, two small figures hid under a large tree, and the older sister hugged her younger brother, her body trembling.
He sat up and said to Wang Manzi, "Those two people are still following." ”
