Volume 1 Sunrise and West Mountain Chapter 73 Westward Journey

Leaving Turtle City, Qin Xiao headed west.

He was dressed in tattered clothes, wrapped in sackcloth, and on the way he saw a wooden stick in his hand, which, at first glance, everyone thought was just a wandering beggar.

Xiling is a barren land, there is not much fertile land, but it is also occupied by the local gate valve family, although Xiling is rich in mines, but it is also in the hands of the gate valve, ordinary people naturally cannot enjoy the slightest benefit.

If the mine is rich in benefits, it will provide them with an opportunity to eat.

When the family opened a mine, it would naturally recruit a large number of laborers, and although it would provide food and drink, the wages were very small, barely making ends meet.

And such opportunities are not available to everyone.

But whenever the year is a little worse, there are not a few people who are left to beg for a living.

Therefore, it is not uncommon to see beggars wandering around aimlessly in the land of Xiling, but it is commonplace.

A beggar dressed like Qin Xiao would not be glanced at by ordinary people, and even avoided it far away when he saw it.

I walked west for two days, and the journey was very smooth.

When leaving from Turtle City, Hongye specially prepared a package for Qin Xiao, in addition to dry food, there was also a porcelain bottle of blood pills, the blood pills given to Qin Xiao almost didn't move a few before, two bottles of blood pills in hand, and there was no problem in holding it for half a year.

In addition to the blood pills and dry food, there were also flint stones in it, obviously considering that Qin Xiao might be sleeping in the wilderness, so he made preparations.

In addition, there is a bottle of gold sore medicine, it seems that he is worried that Qin Xiao will not understand, Hongye specially wrote the words "gold sore medicine" on the bottle, Qin Xiao naturally also knows that gold sore medicine is used to stop bleeding and treat skin and flesh injuries, but this medicine is also very expensive, not like ordinary injury medicine, Qin Xiao remembered that the city medicine store also sells gold sore medicine, and a small bottle costs several taels of silver.

However, the medicine taken out by Momiji is, of course, not comparable to the pharmacy, and it must be very pure.

After the death of the old man Zhong who raised him back then, he walked out of the village and went to Turtle City, which was also a hardship for sleeping in the open air, and even contracted the plague for a time.

What made him a little uncomfortable was that he didn't have the wine gourd, and the beggar hung the wine gourd too ostentatious, so Momiji didn't prepare it for him anymore.

In his early years, Qin Xiao drank alcohol and suffered from cold, accumulating over time, although he couldn't talk about being addicted to alcohol, but if he didn't drink two sips a day, he always felt that he was missing something, and he was uncomfortable.

But for now, I can only endure it.

Leaving from Turtle City, Qin Xiao naturally couldn't walk on the official road in a grand manner, although it was difficult for anyone to recognize him and the wanted little jailer in his current outfit that he was the same person, but everything was based on caution, so he first turned to the north, and then went west along the foot of the mountain.

The geography of Xiling belongs to a long and narrow corridor, with the majestic Qilian Mountains to the south and the endless Changling Mountains to the north.

The Changling Mountains stretch from the territory of Zhen County in the east to the west to Fan County, with undulating mountains and towering and heavy.

The people of Xiling have always been in awe of the Changling Mountains, for the people here, Changling is actually a natural barrier, beyond the Changling, but a hundred miles of land is the Moxi grassland, but also the home of the Tusun people.

Everyone knows that the Tusun people are predatory, but they are fierce and easy to kill, if it were not for the Changling as a barrier, Xiling would definitely be unbearable even if it did not fall into the hands of the Tusun people.

It's already March, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

After months of winter, the Changling Mountains have begun to regain their verdant greenery, and the sound of insects and birds coming from the mountain is incessant, full of life.

Qin Xiao knew that it was best to leave the territory of Zhen County as soon as possible, being in this realm was not too safe after all.

Xiling said that it is not big, but it can be said that it is not small, and there are more than 30 counties in the three counties combined, and it is not too difficult to find a place to hide.

He has silver on him, so naturally he doesn't have to worry about the silver, although he is alone, but he has been lonely too much over the years, and now he is drifting alone, and he doesn't feel uncomfortable.

After thinking about getting out of Zhen County, when the time comes, I can find a job anywhere to do, hold on for half a year, and when this matter fades down, I will find a chance to go back to Turtle City to see the movement.

When I think of Turtle City, I think of Mencius.

That night, Meng Zimo was besieged, but someone fell from the sky and rescued Meng Zimo at a critical moment, Qin Xiao has always wondered who came to the rescue, but in the past two days, he has figured out that only the Duwei Mansion can help Meng Zimo at that time, and nine times out of ten the people who rescued Meng Zimo are the people of the Duwei Mansion.

Qin Xiao's first suspicion was, of course, Han Yunong.

can stand up to save Meng Zimo, I am afraid that only Han Yunong has the courage to do so.

But that person can use a rope to bring Mencius ink to the wall, that ability is not something that ordinary people can do, even if he breaks through to the second grade, it is completely impossible to do it, that is to say, the person who rescued Mencius Mo is at least above the second grade or even the Middle Heaven Realm.

But he never saw that Han Yunong had such skills.

Could it be that Lord Commander has been hiding it all along?

If it was indeed Han Yunong who rescued Meng Zimo, Qin Xiao would be a lot more down-to-earth in his heart, at least with Han Yunong's protection, Meng Zimo should be very safe.

Along the way, what made Qin Xiao think the most was the Zhimei Academy.

Momiji said that sentence inexplicably, and let himself go to Kyoto to find the Zhimeiin Temple when he was desperate, but what is the place of the Zhimeiin Temple?

What is the relationship between the red leaves and the Confidantry?

Since I can remember, I have lived with Old Man Zhong in a remote Xiling village, although Old Man Zhong taught him a lot of things, but he has not really left that village for more than ten years, how can he have anything to do with distant Kyoto?

Qin Xiao was puzzled in his heart.

After dark, Qin Xiao found a suitable place at the foot of the mountain and slept at the foot of the mountain.

The dry food prepared by Hongye can last for four or five days without a problem, but sleeping alone in the wild, it is really panicked in the dark night, fortunately, Qin Xiao has had such an experience, and he is not afraid.

After using dry food, I sat cross-legged and practiced for an hour [Taigu Yi Qi Technique], and then I wrapped the pillow.

Looking at the night sky, the stars are dotted, but there is a sense of relaxation all over the body.

In the past three years, he has had an errand as a superintendent, leaving early and returning late, his life is very regular, and his life is very fulfilling.

Looking at the stars in the sky, the appearance of the little aunt appeared in my mind, these days with her by my side, although sometimes people are angry, but there is no sense of loneliness, thinking that she is willing to be a bait to divert attention for herself, all the way to the east, but now I don't know what the situation is.

However, with the skills and wisdom of the little sister, it was really wishful thinking for the group of wolf riders to catch the little sister.

Half-asleep and half-awake, he suddenly heard a cry, Qin Xiao was startled at first, and secretly wondered if there were lonely souls and wild ghosts in this wilderness? When he sat up, he heard the cry coming from the other side of the mountain, and immediately grabbed the package, took the wooden stick in his hand, and hid behind the thorn vines beside him.

Seeing that it was a group of people, Qin Xiao was slightly relieved.

"Quick, quick!" Someone shouted, "Find a place and take a look at the injury." ”

Qin Xiao saw that there were about seven or eight people in this group, some were carrying bows and arrows, some were holding iron forks, and one of them was carrying a person on his back.

Qin Xiao looked at the outfits of these people, but they looked like a group of hunters.

The so-called relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, relying on the water to eat the water.

Xiling has the existence of the Changling Mountain Range, and the people nearby are naturally relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, and many people will go to the mountains to hunt in order to make a living, so as to support their families.

Although the Xiling Gate Valve controls most of the mineral resources in Xiling, it is not good to turn the Changling Mountains into their own ownership, but they also allow the people to go up the mountain to hunt, but before hunting, it must be like the local government registered, only the government has granted the identity of the hunter, and only the government has granted the identity of the hunter to be qualified to go up the mountain to hunt, otherwise it is poaching, once caught, it is to be detained and imprisoned.

Although the hunters can hunt in the Changling Mountains, they also bear extremely heavy taxes.

"Let's put it down." A hunter with a more vicissitudes of voice said in a deep voice: "I can't go anymore, I walk like this, the blood flows faster, sheep baby, put your father down first, and I'll look at the wound." ”

With the help of others, the sheep baby carefully put her father on the ground and lay down, crying: "Uncle Han, you can help me, there is a lot of blood, my father has shed a lot of blood, you can help me." ”

Qin Xiao was not far away, and he heard it clearly, thinking that it was the sheep baby who was crying, and he almost mistook it for a ghost who died in the wilderness.

Uncle Han looked at the wound by the moonlight, and said, "The wound is too deep, and it can't stop the bleeding even if it is bandaged like this, so I just applied a little wound medicine that we brought ourselves, but it didn't have any effect." He looked at the others and said, "Unless you can find a doctor now and stop the bleeding for him, you .....!" The rest of the words did not continue, but everyone knew the meaning, the bleeding did not stop, and the bleeding could not be stopped, and their lives were in danger.

"That beast is ferocious." One person palpitated and said: "The hero of the bullshit, he is the one who cheated us of the silver, and when he saw that beast, the first one surnamed Luo was going to run, he also bragged before that he was strong, and it was no problem to slaughter bears and tigers, but now it's good, the wind flashed his tongue and put his life here." ”

"He deserved to die, and even his six sons were killed by that beast." Another person hated and said: "The body of the sixth son is still there, how can we go back and give him an account of Lao Tzu's mother?" ”

Uncle Han said in a deep voice: "Now is not the time to talk about this. You all look around and see if you can find elm, crane grass or ramie root, the wound of the sheep baby and his father is too big and deep to move anymore, and if you want to live, you have to stop the bleeding for him. Sheep baby, you hold down your father's wound first, so that the blood flow can slow down ......, by the way, iron donkey, you have fast legs and feet, run to the town, see if you can ask the doctor to come! ”

"At this hour, it's already midnight when I run over, and it's impossible for the doctor to follow, at most give some medicine for the injury." A young hunter said: "When I come back, the sky is almost dawn, can the father of the sheep baby hold on?" ”

"It's better than sitting still here." Uncle Han said angrily: "If you want to go, don't talk so much nonsense." ”

The man couldn't do anything, so he took the iron fork and ran south.

The others were about to disperse to look for herbs when a voice said, "I have hemostatic medicine here, you can try to stop the bleeding." ”
