Chapter 149 Wild Village in the Mountains
Finally, Li Qing carried Meng Ying on his back and successfully came to the top of the mountain recorded on the map, where Li Qing and the others found a dilapidated small mountain villa.
The villa is not big, there are only 20 families in total, when they saw Li Qing and the others, the villagers in the villa were very enthusiastic, seeing that both of them were injured, the villagers took the initiative to invite the two to their homes to rest.
Li Qing didn't expect that the map was referring to a village, and at the warm invitation of the villagers, Li Qing carried Meng Ying into the village chief's house.
Although he is the head of the village, his house is no different in size from that of ordinary people, and there is a bow and a short sword hanging in the house, which should be used for hunting on weekdays.
The village chief was an old man about fifty years old, and he took two clothes and handed them to Li Qing, asking them to take off their bloody clothes.
Li Qing also felt that the bloody clothes were sticky and panicked, so he changed into the coarse cloth clothes provided by the village chief, Meng Ying disliked that the clothes given by the village chief were too ugly, and there were not many blood stains on the clothes, so he did not change them, Li Qing did not force this, after all, the coarse cloth clothes were worn on the body, and they must not be as comfortable as Meng Ying's own clothes.
After changing their clothes, Li Qing and Meng Ying came to the hall and talked with the village chief.
The village chief said with a smile: "Our village has not entered the village for a long time, and the two are the first outsiders to enter our village in the past ten years. ”
Li Qing smiled and said, "I look at the decorations in the village chief's room, and it seems that he is still a person who practices martial arts?" ”
The village chief shook his head and said, "I can't be regarded as a martial artist, but I spent a few years on the battlefield in my early years, barely saving my life, but I just broke my leg." ”
As he spoke, the village chief patted his leg, and Li Qing realized that one of the village chief's legs looked shorter than the other, and it seemed that it should be caused by injury.
The village chief looked at Li Qing and asked, "If the two of you were injured, didn't you encounter some fierce beast?" ”
Li Qing nodded and told the village chief about the two wild boars he encountered when he went up the mountain.
After hearing this, the village chief burst into tears and was about to bow down to Li Qing, Li Qing was shocked and hurriedly got up to help the village chief.
The village chief cried: "The benefactor doesn't know, you killed the two evil animals, but it can be regarded as avenging our village, over the years, our village does not know how many people died on the fangs of the evil animals, every year the villagers who go down the mountain to buy supplies, will face the blocking of those evil animals, we have people every year will accidentally fold in the mouth of the evil animals, now it's okay, Engong got rid of the two evil beasts, our village is finally peaceful." ”
Li Qing didn't expect that he would become the benefactor of this village by mistake, especially under Li Qing's guidance, when those villagers moved the two dead wild boars back to the village, the whole village couldn't help cheering.
In the cheering crowd, there was a teenager crying loudly, Li Qing was puzzled, and the villagers next to him told Li Qing that the body that Li Qing found that was bitten to death by a wild boar was the boy's father.
Li Qing stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder and comforted: "People can't be resurrected after death, you are still young, you have to live well to be worthy of your father." ”
With tears in the young man's eyes, he suddenly knelt down in front of Li Qing and said, "Engong, my name is Nie Jing, you killed the evil beast and avenged my father, Nie Jing is willing to follow Engong." ”
Li Qing picked up Nie Jing and said, "I'm just passing through here, and I won't stay for long, you and I are only a one-sided relationship, how can I let you leave your hometown and leave with me." ”
Nie Jing shook his head and said: "Nie Jing was born without a mother, and now that his father has passed away, even if there is no Engong, I will go down the mountain in a few days, and I will ask Engong to take him in." ”
At this time, the village chief also opened his mouth to persuade: "Although Nie Jing is impulsive, he is really a good child, so Engong will accept him, even if he pours tea and water, he can get this child's heart, right?" ”
Li Qing looked at Nie Jing with a longing face, his heart softened, and he nodded.
Nie Jing is fifteen years old this year, born with great strength, with his father learned some martial arts, are some moves in the army, although fierce, but rough, but fortunately, Nie Jing is still young, carefully adjusted, martial arts still have room for improvement.
Li Qing took out Wei Yu's map and wanted to ask the village chief if he knew something about Wei Yu.
Before Li Qing could speak, the village chief, who saw the map, had already knelt on the ground with a sad face.
Li Qing was shocked, and hurriedly stepped forward to help the village chief, but the village chief refused to get up anything, and asked all the villagers to kneel, the villagers didn't know why, but they were used to obeying the village chief's orders, plus Li Qing was their benefactor, they had nothing to be dissatisfied with kneeling down to Li Qing, and immediately, all the villagers knelt down beside Li Qing.
Meng Ying had an injury on her foot and had been sitting on the sidelines, but she couldn't sit still when she saw this situation, so she limped to Li Qing's side and asked what was going on.
Li Qing was also at a loss, and in the end, Li Qing looked at the map he had just taken out, the reason why the village chief suddenly became so sad just now seemed to be because he took out this map.
Li Qing helped the village chief and asked, "Old man, if you have something to say slowly, what is going on?" ”
The village chief's face was full of grief, he looked at the map in Li Qing's hand, and cried: "Master, die." ”
It turned out that the village chief turned out to be Wei Mi's former personal guard, with Wei Mi to fight in the east and west, in a battle, accidentally shot through the thigh by a stray arrow, injured the bone, left a disability, can no longer continue to follow Wei Mi, at that time Wei Mi had a premonition that the Qin clan and the old nobles would sooner or later attack him, so let the village chief take the military book he had written all his life's work, return to his hometown of Daliang, and agreed that if someone came to him with a map one day, it would mean that Yu Mi was dead.
The village chief saw the map and knew that his master Wei Yi had passed away, so he was grief-stricken, and most of the other people in the village were also subordinates who followed Wei Yi in the past, and they learned that Li Qing was the successor designated by Wei Yi, and they all willingly knelt down in front of Li Qing and called him the young master.
Meng Ying was stunned, who is Wei Yi, as a general, Meng Ying couldn't be clearer, after all, Meng Ying is also one of the old generals of Daqin, whether he made a move against Wei Yi in the past, Meng Ying is not clear, but Meng Ying knows that Meng Yi has absolutely no good impression of Wei Yi.
Looking at the villagers who were kneeling down, Li Qing was a little unaccustomed to it, and personally helped up the village chief and said: "Old man, get up quickly, I only have a short fate with Wei Yu's predecessors, and I can't be your young master. ”
