Chapter 286: Entering the South (3)
"Something bites me? What kind of insect bites in winter......" "You've got lice." Someone on the side laughed secretly.
"You're just getting lice. I went out after I had washed it cleanly, where were the lice? No, it's bugs. A lot of bugs. Hurry up and inform the head of the house......"
The movement here finally alarmed Daya. When Daya noticed something was wrong, she looked around the bonfire and was already covered with insects.
Even Daya, a bold man from the north, couldn't help but feel that the hairs on his body stood up.
"Young grandma, young grandma. Insect...... Bugger. ”
***
Xie Ke and his entourage went to the southern boundary mountain, Yan Nan had already planned, and the group would cross the mountain early tomorrow morning, but tonight, not only Yan Nan, but also Xie Ke felt that it would not be peaceful. So she instructed Cheng Jin to arrange it before, but as for what was arranged, Xie Ke didn't say, and Yan Nan didn't ask.
He and Xie Ke are both in charge. Xie Ke's methods will naturally not all appeal to his mouth, and in the same way, Yan Nan's skills will not teach Xie Ke, not because he is afraid that the other party will learn, but in fact, people have different temperaments, so the means used are naturally different.
When both the Gan guards and Daya noticed the abnormality.
Soon the camp suddenly 'came to life', and it was indeed alive, because the camp that had been dark and rumbling a moment ago suddenly burst into flames. I don't know if the people in the camp were really asleep before this?
It was in Daya's shocked gaze.
Suddenly, a ...... swelled in front of my eyes Fire Serpent.
This 'fiery serpent' is very stout and has a campfire at its center. Leaving out a few of their guards, it spread outward in a circle, and in an instant, Daya's face was in a sea of fire. The insects that had just been surging were crackling with fire, and soon the smell of roasted insects was everywhere.
If it weren't for the dense crowd of the previous one, it was too shocking for Daya.
At this moment, he actually felt that there was a bit of what those sour shows liked to say: the moon is bright and the stars are scarce, and the atmosphere of drinking to the moon. If it is accompanied by this roasted insect, it must taste very mellow.
However, he just thought about it, no matter how hungry he was for meat, he wouldn't dare to eat these insects.
If it's an ordinary bug. Naturally, he would not be afraid. Not to mention insects, there is nothing in this world that he Daya does not dare to enter.
But the insect came to be surprised, and it was like a tide. There is a problem at first glance...... He had listened to rumors among his brothers that there were people in the south who liked to raise insects. And they are all poisonous insects.
Daya thought. It's terrible. What to raise is not good. Even if you have a fat dog and a cat, it is thousands of times better than raising insects.
Eventually, Daya came to the conclusion that no one in the south was a 'human'. They are simply uncivilized barbarians.
Compared with the southerners, they are the greatest inheritors of evolution.
Obviously, he was very frightened a moment ago, and Daya even had a feeling that he was about to usher in a catastrophe under the impact of the insect tide, but the next moment, the insects in his eyes were burned and crackled.
It seems that not only they are here, but the situation on the Yan side not far away is not much different from here. It's also a blazing fire.
In the skylit firelight, someone calmly commanded the escort to move...... Daya was suddenly terrified. "Brothers, we don't have so many bugs in the north, but we can't see this spectacular wave of burning bugs. Now that I am with the young grandmother, it is really an eye-opener. Daya's heartless shout, and the northern guards who followed him were afraid one by one, but they really looked lively.
Lin Changyuan and Cheng Jin, who were guarding Xie Ke's car, glanced at each other, and finally scolded in unison, 'lack of heart and lungs'.
"It's really as young grandma expected, the other party really can't help but make a move." Xie Ke was sitting in the car, and at this time, the door was wide open, with Xie Ke's carriage as the center, and the carriage was also burning happily around it. Unlike Daya's heartlessness, Xie Ke and Lin Changyuan, Cheng Jin's master and servant, looked at the flame that almost burned half of the sky with solemn faces.
In the end, Lin Changyuan said with doubts. "Such a fire, but with the man in the shadows. I don't know what the identity of that person is? Why didn't there be any movement all the way, and only when we arrived at the boundary mountain did we attack, just this insect tide, if we were not prepared to urge it, wouldn't we be unable to prevent it. Even if the kung fu is strong, I am afraid it will be difficult to retreat in time. ”
“…… You don't understand this, the young grandmother said, this hand is just a warning, if you want to take our lives, we don't even have the ability to parry. What else is the power of defense? Cheng Jin replied on the side.
Lin Changyuan's face was frightened.
He never doubted Xie Ke's words.
Since her young grandmother secretly instructed Cheng Jin to arrange it like this, she didn't know the identity of the other party, and I am afraid she guessed a few points. At this point, Lin Changyuan was ashamed, he didn't notice that someone had been secretly following them, and naturally he would not have thought of such a defense.
In his opinion, it would be enough to keep the guards on the lookout.
But in front of this scene, where there is vigilance, you can protect it. It's simply impossible to prevent it...... "Young grandmother, can you guess who the other party is?" Xie Ke shook her head, she was really able to 'predict the prophet' and only knew it in her previous life.
In her previous life, she didn't have a chance to step out of the door except for the Xie family and the Quan family.
Even if you have been married to the capital for a few years, you will not have the opportunity to see the prosperity of the capital. Where is it like this life, since marrying into the Qi family, it has hardly been a few days since he had a peaceful birthday.
It's either the north or the south.
At first, she felt that her body was unbearable, and she was not used to showing up as a woman, but over time, she felt that such a day was in vain. It's not about staying in the inner house all day and pitying the man when he thinks of her, but standing side by side with the man.
She loves the sense of accomplishment that she can help someone she loves.
"Can't guess, but you'll see it soon for yourself." Xie Ke said softly.
It seems to be with her, or maybe the time has come. The fire snake slowly extinguished, and at this time, Yan Nan also came to Xie Ke's carriage with his guards, and at the same time, a voice came from outside the fire circle.
Listening to the voice, it turned out to be a woman, but the tone of the voice only felt very strange in everyone's ears.
“…… Please be merciful. A woman's voice said.
Xie Ke had been helped out of the carriage by Hongye at this time, standing side by side with Yan Nan, hearing the voice, the two glanced at each other, and they both saw some smiles in each other's eyes, and then they all turned their eyes to the dark place.
With the sound, a dark figure slowly appeared.
Because outside the firelight, everyone couldn't see this person's face clearly, but at first glance, the figure seemed to be small and thin, and in Da Wei, such a figure was more like an eight or nine-year-old child.
Everyone held their breath.
Then strange footsteps rang in my ears.
It seems to be the sound of shoes tugging, hiss, hiss. Led by Lin Changyuan, the guards couldn't help but draw their long swords.
On the other hand, Xie Ke and Yan Nan looked as usual, as if the appearance of this person was expected by the two. "Who's coming?" Lin Changyuan shouted.
The black shadow's steps forward froze instantly.
Then he didn't respond, and slowly stepped forward again, Lin Changyuan had the heart to step forward to stop, but he looked sideways at his young grandmother, and saw that there was no obstruction on Xie Ke's face, so he calmed down and took a step back and put on a protective posture.
Gradually, the man walked into the light.
Through the bonfire, everyone finally saw the man's appearance.
I couldn't help but say 'ah' in my heart, what kind of person is that? looks like a child, but looking at his face, he is an adult, but this person's appearance is really weird.
Small nose and small eyes, and the face looks dark blue by the light of the fire.
If she had grown a pair of fingernails a few inches, she would look like a demon with a blue face and fangs. Ugly, I've never seen anything so ugly...... Woman.
It should be a woman, and although her body is thin, her waist is faintly visible. What's more, she had just spoken, and although the tone was strange, it was indeed a woman's voice.
The guards behind Xie Ke seemed to gasp.
Qi Qi felt that his eyes were polluted. In the past, they were still picky and critical of the little girls in the house, but now they think that those little girls are as beautiful as fairies compared to the one in front of them.
At this time, Yan Nan stepped forward.
He spoke in a very gentle tone. "The girl is from the South? Why did you come to our camp in the middle of the night? ”
When the man heard this, he paused. Then he looked up and looked around, his eyes paused on Xie Ke and Yan Nan, and finally fixed on Yan Nan.
Only then did he slowly speak.
“…… Be merciful, don't kill my bugs. It was still a weird tone, but this time everyone understood what she said. Lin Changyuan couldn't help rubbing his arms and biting his ears with Cheng Jin on the side. "Her bugs, why am I so miserable when I hear it?"
Cheng Jin replied in a low voice.
"I feel a stomach pounding when I think about it."
Then the two of them shook their bodies in unison and decisively took their eyes off the woman.
"Okay, we won't hurt you...... Worms, it's just that you're going to lead us over the Boundary Mountain. Otherwise, these fires ......" Xie Ke opened his mouth lightly at this time, and finally pointed to the bonfire with his hand.
The woman's figure shrank visibly.
Then he seemed to bow his head and think about it for a long time. Finally nodded. "Okay."
Everyone was surprised, but Xie Ke and Yan Nan didn't seem surprised by the woman's decision. Then Yan Nan waved his hand and retreated from the guards. Xie Ke waved his hand as well, and the guards quickly put their swords into their scabbards, and then quickly disappeared into the darkness.
The woman eventually sat down away from the campfire.
tucked the black robe under his body, and finally stared at the fire in a daze. Xie Ke was helped by the red leaves to turn around, and when he was about to step into the carriage, Xie Ke suddenly turned around, and then asked.
"A few days ago, did you lead a beautiful boy over the Boundary Mountain into the southern realm?"
The woman looked back at Xie Ke, her face was flat, and she couldn't see the slightest look other than coldness. Just when Xie Ke thought that the woman would not respond to her.
The woman nodded slowly.
"Pretty man. Climb the boundary mountain, enter the southern border ......" (to be continued.) )
