Volume 1 Painting the Corner, Heaven and Earth Cracking, 50 Living Water (2)
Zhao Dangshi stayed in Juyun Temple for two days, and left the temple early in the morning of the third day.
Qin Qixun and Zen Master Guangzhen watched him and the other six horsemen go away, and they were silent for a long time. Behind him, Qin Jinxiao stood with his hands in his hands and asked, "Dad, is this person really credible?" ”
Qin Qixun shook his head and said, "Who in this world is completely credible?" It's just that the situation is pressing, and I have no way to retreat from the Lu Qin clan, so I have to believe it. Then he looked at Zen Master Guangzhen, "Master, you are profound and insightful, do you have any opinions for my father and son?" ”
Zen Master Guangzhen's eyes seemed to be open, as if he was pretending to sleep, and sighed: "Amitabha, there is no way for good and evil, but people call themselves; The retribution of good and evil follows you like a shadow. Alas, a thought of foolishness is like a god, and a thought of wisdom is like a life. In the meantime, no one else can say anything, Xiufeng is wise, just remember to think and decide, and be careful. ”
Qin Jinxiao was ignorant and didn't know what to say, Qin Qixun said abruptly: "What the master said is extremely true. My move is indeed a dangerous move to take a chestnut in the fire and wander on the cliff. The rise and fall of the family is all tied to this. This is a good strategy, how can the greedy wolves and hungry tigers around them be in ambush, and there is no danger to control the strong enemy. ”
When Zen Master Guangzhen heard this, he was silent.
The flowers bloom three branches, and the words are divided into two ends. Zhao Dangshi left Juyun Temple, except for eating a bowl of clear soup noodles at a shop outside Chungju City, he did not delay for a moment and hurried away. Only after leaving the Zhongzhou border and traveling to Panlong Creek, Zhou Wenhe came over and said: "Commander, there is a little bit behind." "It means that someone is following behind you.
Zhao Dangshi didn't look back, looked ahead and asked, "Can you see clearly?" ”
Zhou Wenhe affirmed: "My subordinates felt that something was wrong at Zhongnan Shop, so they deliberately kept an eye on it. This thief has been following the bird for dozens of miles. ”
"Hmm. You can do it. "Zhou Wenhe can be picked as the head of the night, and he will not make a noise, and Zhao Dangshi trusts him very much. As he spoke, he grabbed the horse's belly and jumped out of the distance first. Zhou Wenhe waited for him to gallop away, and said to the remaining four nights: "Brothers, prepare to greet Liangqingzi." ”
These men were shrewd and capable, and with a single eye contact, they scattered and disappeared into the trees by the stream.
Not long after, Guo Yiyi waded over, the horse was purple and black, extremely divine horse, the category was by no means comparable to the local short southwest horse, Zhou Wenhe hid in the tree and looked straight, secretly called himself surprised, thinking that there can be such a treasure horse, how can he still do this kind of sneaky business, want to see the appearance of the horse owner, at a glance, so disappointed. The knight wore a short curtain on the horse, and most of his face was covered by a black net on all sides, and it was not clear from him.
"Phew, why do you really think you're a hero?" Zhou Wenhe was most disgusted with such a pretentious person, and he wanted to knock this person over, and it would be a great achievement to take his horse and sacrifice it to the commander.
When the knight approached the ambush circle on horseback, Zhou Wenhe looked left and right, and was about to make a move, when the knight suddenly noticed something abnormal, turned the horse's head and was about to leave.
How could Zhou Wenhe let him get away and shouted: "Do it!" In an instant, five figures swayed, attacking the knight from five different directions.
The knight was visibly taken aback, and his horse jumped uneasily under his crotch. He quickly calmed down, raised his hand and whipped it in the face of Zhou Wenhe, who was rushing to the front. His whip was powerful and precise, striking between his eyebrows impartially. Zhou Wenhe's mind was dizzy, and he took two steps back, barely able to grasp the knife in his hand.
"Good whip method, a practitioner!" When Zhou Wenhe reacted and said this sentence involuntarily, the knight had already jumped out of the flaw. The horse was not only born strong, but also had extraordinary abilities, and the knight regained his spirit after a little reassurance, and was not afraid of the bright swords in front of him, and jumped over the head of a man out of thin air.
Zhou Wenhe and the others originally intended to hit it, tied the horses elsewhere, and surrounded them in foot combat, but unexpectedly, the wind and clouds suddenly changed, and they were about to be escaped by the knight. I wanted to turn around and get the horse, but it was too late.
Seeing that the success was falling short, a shout suddenly exploded in the back of his head, Zhao Dangshi rushed out of nowhere, waving a horsewhip, shouting "dodge" in his mouth, Zhou Wenhe and others rushed to both sides in a hurry. Zhao Dangshi's horses were extremely fast, and they only felt that their clothes were carried up by the wind.
Zhao Dangshi chased after the knight, his horse was obtained in Li Zicheng's army, and it was very explosive, and this sprint alone was not inferior to the purple black horse that the knight sat on. and Zhou Wenhe and the others got up from the grass pile, and the two of them and the two horses had long since disappeared.
After chasing for a long time, one relied on horsepower in front and one desperately spurred behind, and the distance never narrowed. Zhao Dangshi thought to himself: "The quality of that horse is amazing, not ordinary people can have." Immediately, that guy is not small, and he can't be easily spared if he says anything. ”
After chasing for a while, the purple and black horses panicked, the terrain gradually rose and fell, and the distance between the two sides gradually narrowed. Zhao Dangshi thought again: "Yes." Although the horse was a horse, he was pampered and used to it, and he was not suitable for this uneven terrain, and he had not suffered hardships, and his endurance was not good. Thinking about it like this, I firmly believe that the knight has a great article.
The knight in front of him apparently noticed that something was wrong, and while urging his horse, he tried his best to make some detours, intending to get rid of his pursuers. But Zhao Dangshi has made up his mind to chase it to the end, and he has no intention of retreating. He was born in a rogue and has traveled one or two hundred miles in a row, and his body has long adapted to the bumps, and the more he chases, the better his spirits are.
The two horses galloped back and forth until the evening, and they didn't know how long they had been running, how far away they were from Panlong Creek, after all, the purple and black horse had a bad temper, couldn't bear it, became anxious, and began to jump wildly on the spot. The knight had obviously not experienced this situation, and tried his best to appease him to no avail, and was about to dismount, but the purple black horse straightened up in anger and threw the defenseless knight off directly.
This throw was fatal, not far from the cliff, the knight rolled on the ground a few times, confused, forgot where the cliff was, and accidentally rolled down the hillside.
Zhao Dangshi dismounted in shock, walked to the edge of the cliff and saw that the knight was already lying at the bottom of the slope, when the red sun was sinking in the west, and the slope was facing east, and it was impossible to see whether the person was alive or dead. Zhao Dangshi didn't plan to leave, so he led two horses and walked down the hillside along the path to explore.
The slope was not particularly steep, and there were many branches of bushes on the slope, and the knight's coat was torn and tattered, but fortunately his life was in danger.
Zhao Dangshi stood beside him and thought, "It's getting dark now, so I have to find a place to spend the night first." Zhou Wenhe is old and will not leave Panlong Creek. Wait until dawn to look for them. Glancing at the knight, "I need to take him with me, and when he wakes up, he can ask where he came." ”
However, as soon as he lifted the knight up, he always felt that something was wrong: "Why is this man so light?" The knight fell all the way, and hung a leash, but the curtain on his head was still not gone, and his face was still covered. According to the ideal, this person dares to chase six, not to mention a big man like Hao Shaoqi, he has to be a strong man, how can he pick it up and feel like a little girl? However, the night was about to close, and Zhao Dangshi was anxious to find a place to live, so he didn't think much about it. And he put the knight on his horse, and led the horse away.
Luckily, he soon found a cave that was not deep. There are also fires and ashes not far from the mouth of the cave, and I think this place should be a resting place for local hunters in the future.
Years of hard work have greatly exercised Zhao Dangshi's ability to survive in the wild. He collected some dry firewood, lit a bonfire with the pine light he carried with him, and went out to catch a wild pheasant, plucked it, washed it, and roasted it on the fire. There was a water bag next to the saddle of the mount, and Zhao Dangshi took two big sips of it himself, thinking of the unconscious knight, so he took it over and wanted to give him some drink.
Zhao Dangshi hugged him to the edge of the bonfire and lifted the black curtain that covered his face, which startled him. Under the reflection of the beating flames, what greeted the eye was not a rough man's face as first guessed, but on the contrary, it was actually a girl's delicate and beautiful goose egg face.
By the light of the fire, Zhao Dangshi stared at this unexpected face with round eyes and stupidly, and for a while, he didn't know what to do next, "This, this ......"
It was easy to come to his senses, and the question came flooding: "Who is this girl, and why is she tracking me?" ”
The girl didn't look very old, sixteen or seventeen at most. Zhao Dangshi noticed that her skin was smooth, which in today's day and age is a feature that cannot be ignored: this woman is rich without being an official in the family. Not to mention those ordinary folk girls with acne spots on their faces and skin like tree bark, even Mrs. Xing, who amazed everyone at the camp that day, inevitably had some traces of wind and frost on her face. Growing up to now, in his impression, this woman's skin is only comparable to that of Ma Zhang, who has lived in a deep boudoir for a long time and is extremely heavily maintained.
When Zhao Dangshi thought of this, he couldn't help but look at that face, only to feel that although it was not as mature and charming as Ma Zhang's, he also had a playful and lovely vitality. Especially now that her brows are slightly frowning and her mouth is soft, it is even more cute.
At the same time, thinking about Zhou Wenhe's expression if he learned that he was restless all the way and was facing a great enemy, he didn't know what kind of expression he would have if he was trying to guard against this little girl, Zhao Dangshi couldn't help laughing.
I don't know whether she lifted the black curtain and shone into the light or was attracted by the wafting smell of barbecue, the girl first frowned tightly, then stretched, and then the corners of her mouth slurped for a moment, and her eyelids slowly opened.
As soon as Bu saw Zhao Dangshi who was close at hand, the girl shouted "wow", and subconsciously struggled to keep running. It's just that when I rolled down the hillside, there was a place around my waist that was broken by a thorn hook, and at this time, the force was too strong, the wound was torn open, the stinging pain penetrated into the marrow, and I sat down on the ground with an "ah".
"You are injured, don't move." Zhao Dangshi didn't care how much she resisted herself, she relied hard and held her down steadily.
The girl twisted twice, and felt that she couldn't beat Zhao Dangshi, and she also settled down, with some fear in her bright eyes: "What do you want to do?" ”
Zhao Dangshi ignored it and asked: "You tell me first, what is your name and where do you come from." ”
"It's not fair!" The girl's mouth flattened, "I only ask you one question, but you ask me two!" ”
Zhao Dangshi smiled dumbly and coaxed: "Okay, it's me who is wrong." All you have to do is say your name. ”
"Why should I answer?" If it weren't for facing the enemy on the battlefield, Zhao Dangshi had always been very kind to people, perhaps because he felt his gentle attitude, the girl was a little bolder.
"This little girl is not afraid of life, and she is a little rude." Zhao Dangshi thought secretly, and said: "There are no people in the wilderness and deep valleys here, only the two of us depend on each other." Since they are partners in adversity, it is not too much to exchange names, right? ”
The girl pursed her lips and said angrily, "Who wants to depend on you for your life?" If you hadn't chased me, I wouldn't have fallen...... Oops, it hurts......"
"Where does it hurt?" Seeing the other party's painful expression, Zhao Dangshi reflexively cared, and stretched his head over, "I have some experience in external injuries, I can help you." ”
Before the words fell, I felt that my forehead was opened, and when I looked up, the girl was a little ashamed, accompanied by the flickering fireworks, and a small face was indescribably bright and moving.
"No, not necessarily. It's just a small injury, I have my own medicine, and I can apply it. She excused herself, and shook her hand in front of the eyes of Zhao Dangshi, who was in a trance, "What's wrong with you?" ”
Zhao Dangshi came back to his senses and hurriedly explained: "No, it's nothing. Alas, it was I who was not right to cause you to suffer. But then again, if you weren't sneaky first, I wouldn't be chasing you. "Why are you following me?" ”
The girl's face turned red, and she said angrily, "How can I follow you." It's just a drop by. You gang of fierce gods and evil people don't look like good people, I'm afraid to see it, of course you have to hide! At first, she was still a little flustered, but later, she realized that the more she said, the more reasonable she became, and finally she was justified.
Zhao Dangshi didn't bother to expose her lies, snorted, put his hands on the back of his head, leaned against the cave wall and asked, "Are you hungry?" ”
"Hungry ......" The woman wanted to say no to a little hard, but she really couldn't help her stomach that was secretly growling, her mouth was flattened, and she looked at Zhao Dangshi pitifully.
Zhao Dangshi didn't see it, squinted his eyes and pointed at the wild pheasant meat that had been roasted on the bonfire: "Do you want to eat it?" ”
"Want to ......" Zhao Dangshi's baking skills are superb, the wild pheasant meat has been cooked for seven or eight minutes, and the overflowing meat fragrance fills the entire cave, smelling it alive, the girl was chased for an afternoon, the belly was unbearable, and she really couldn't resist the temptation of this delicacy.
Zhao Dangshi said "hee", and without waiting for the girl's reaction, he copied the wild pheasant meat from the shelf, shook it in front of the girl, sniffed it again, and made an infatuated look: "It's so fragrant, I want to eat it." Seeing the girl's hopeful look, he added, "I'm not the kind of person who eats alone. You tell me your name, let's make friends, and I'll share this barbecue with you. ”
After all, the girl was young and couldn't withstand Zhao Dangshi's series of coercion and temptation, so she groaned a little, pursed her lips and said, "Okay, what you say counts?" ”
"The big husband is full of words!"
The girl's eyes flickered, and she was a little embarrassed and said, "My name is Qin Shilu." ”
