Chapter 6: Encountering Danger
Seeing someone coming out with a stick to scold, the timid Wu Mengyao was so frightened that she hurriedly hid behind Qu Hao.
Seeing this, Qu Hao hurriedly raised his hands and said to them: "No, no, we are passing by, we just want to ask for directions, I have no malicious intent." Qu Hao saw that these three people were facing the two of them with long sticks, and knew that the person who came was not good, so he hurriedly raised his hands, which was not only to show these three people that there was no hostility, but also that the hidden motive was to take out the sword that was inserted in the copper Xiao on his back more quickly to defend himself.
But the three men obviously did not believe him, and still nervously pointed at him with wooden sticks, not letting him come closer, and then said, "You are not ghosts, how do you dress like this, and how did you make a sudden sound just now?" And you don't walk on your legs?"
It turned out that they didn't know motorcycles. This time Qu Hao and they were even more surprised. Where is this place? Why are the people here so ignorant? Are these three people beggars or what?
Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao settled down and saw that these three *** were there, and they were more than one head shorter than Qu Hao; If you look closely at their faces, they all have high cheekbones, low foreheads, deep eye sockets, and pointed chins, which are malnourished at first glance.
Their dress was even more peculiar, with a high bun on their heads, a wide robe on their upper body like a short robe with a linen diagonal button, and a chest guard made of stone chips on their chests; The lower body is not wearing trousers, but two bandages, and the middle is surrounded by the same animal skin apron as Sun Wukong, and the shoes on the feet are actually made of twine.
Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao took a closer look at their wooden sticks, what kind of wooden sticks were they holding? It is clearly three spears---- long stick with a sharp bronze spear head on the top, as if it were an ancient weapon used in battle and hunting.
Qu Hao and Meng Yao were so surprised that they couldn't believe their eyes, if they weren't filming, how could modern people be dressed like this? And if it is filming, such a dim grass hut does not even have a shadow of a light.
The two of them were surprised, so they could only force their composure and try to figure out everything that was difficult to explain as soon as possible.
Qu Hao said incoherently: "I'm sorry, we are outsiders, lost, and we don't have any ill will towards you. We were riding horses from our hometown when we came just now, and we are not ghosts, we are people, we are good people. ”
"Why do we believe that you are a good person? Where are you from? Or are you from another country, where are your customs clearance documents?" The taller of the three said.
Convinced that Qu Hao and the two of them had no weapons in their hands, the three men obviously relaxed their guards and erected their spears on the ground.
"We are from Linghai. What is a customs clearance document? I have an ID card. Qu Hao looked dazed, and hurriedly took out his ID card and handed it to the other party.
The three of them obviously didn't understand the meaning of Ling Hai and his ID card, but one of them still took his ID card, and when he saw that there was a small human head on it that looked the same as the person in front of him, he was so frightened that he hurriedly threw it on the ground and said viciously: "What the hell is this?" You don't look like you're from here, so take out the customs clearance papers. ”
Don't know your ID card? Qu Hao picked up his ID card and was even more puzzled, what the hell are these people doing, is this a paradise?
At this time, the fire in the stove was extinguished because no one cared about it. One of the short men said to Qu Hao: "You are not allowed to move, I will make the fire first." As he spoke, he put down his spear, took out a handful of hay from the stove, put it in the gap between a dry stick, and then took a stick and stuck it in the crack of the wood, and rubbed it vigorously.
Qu Hao suddenly felt ridiculous, isn't this one of the subjects of wilderness survival training in the army: drilling wood for fire? When did you still use such a primitive method to make fire?
He said to the man, "I'll help you." As he spoke, he took out the zippo lighter, and only heard the crisp sound of "dang", and a small blue flame burst out of the lighter, and then ignited the hay.
The three of them were stunned: there was such a magical fire hidden in this delicate little box.
Qu Hao saw the surprised expressions of the two of them, and generously handed over the lighter: "Brother, this is our meeting gift." I saw that the taller soldier stepped forward and quickly snatched the lighter from Qu Hao's hand.
Qu Hao hurriedly said, "I'll teach you how to use it."
The man hesitated, probably worried that Qu Hao would regret it, but curiosity still made him hand the lighter back.
Qu Hao took the lighter, demonstrated it, patiently told him how to use it and precautions, and then handed it to him.
After the man took the lighter, he really shot out the flame according to the method taught by Qu Hao, and jumped up happily as if he had found a treasure.
Qu Hao was also very happy when he saw that the other party had eliminated some of his hostility, and hurriedly asked this person: "Brother, can you tell me, where is this?"
The man told him, "Ahead is Liuhe, and this is Liuhe's guardian station."
When Qu Hao and Meng Yao heard this, they were shocked, isn't the so-called post station a transfer station dedicated to delivering news?
It can't be a paradise at all, how can there be a paradise that is so big as to set up a post station in the era of high modernization? These three people don't look like they're playing pranks, and they must not be making film and television dramas.
Obviously, this is no longer the modern society they are familiar with, but an authentic ancient China. It seems that these three people are soldiers guarding the ancient post station.
What Qu Hao and Wu Mengyao didn't expect was that Qu Hao's question made the three people's suspicions even heavier. In their opinion, these two people are dressed in strange costumes, their hair is scattered, and they still carry magical fire on their bodies, and they don't even know where they live now, and they must be spies of the enemy country.
One of the soldiers asked, "You just said that you came here on a horse from your hometown, is your horse still tethered outside?"
"Yes, let me take you out to have a look." Qu Hao said, but he was thinking about getting out as soon as possible, this is not a place to stay for a long time. Then he and Wu Mengyao withdrew.
The three soldiers stepped out the front door, their spears still in their hands.
They were horrified when they saw the motorcycle, and one of them pointed a spear at the motorcycle and asked, "What kind of monster is this?" This is not a horse at all. ”
Qu Hao looked at it and was anxious. Worried that the tip of the spear would pierce the tire, he hurriedly said: "Slow down, this is a horse, don't believe me to make a demonstration, you can see if it's a horse." said and glanced at Wu Mengyao.
Qu Hao raised his hand and walked towards the motorcycle, as long as his right hand went backwards and down, he could have a sword in his hand in less than a second.
Wu Mengyao also began to walk towards the motorcycle, and both of them wanted to leave this place of right and wrong as soon as possible.
But that's just the wish of both of them. The three ancient soldiers had sensed that they were planning to run, and suddenly rushed at the two of them with spears.
It's too late, it's too soon. Qu Hao did not hesitate to drop his raised hands to his back, and then there was a sharp sword shining with cold light in his right hand, and he held the copper flute in his left hand.
Qu Hao stepped forward, sideways to dodge the spearhead stabbed by the soldier close to the motorcycle, and with a slight shift of the sword, the spear was broken into two sections, and the spearhead flew into the mud.
The other two soldiers saw that Qu Hao had a weapon in his hand, and cut off the soldier's spear, and immediately stabbed it with a spear, and the soldier who had broken the spear also came over with a half-cut wooden stick.
Qu Hao quickly jumped away, attracting the three soldiers to his side and distancing himself from Wu Mengyao, and used the copper flute with his left hand to use the dancing flower technique in the stick technique, forming a protective barrier, as if a rotating shield was erected, and the weapons of the three soldiers could not pierce at all, but were beaten back again and again by the copper flute.
Seeing that Qu Hao was difficult to deal with, the two soldiers with spears turned around and launched an attack on the defenseless Wu Mengyao, wanting to force Qu Hao to stop.
Qu Hao didn't want to start the killing ring, but when he saw that these two people were going to kill Wu Mengyao, he was anxious to save him, only to see him leap forward, and stabbed with a sword with a move of "dragonfly water", only to hear a pop, the sword pierced his heart from the back of a soldier, and the man rushed forward in response.
At the same time as withdrawing the sword in his right hand, Qu Hao raised the copper flute in his left hand and slammed it into the head of another soldier, only to hear a muffled sound, and half of the soldier's Tianling cover flew into the sky, and a stream of pink flocculent was thrown out from the top of his head, and the soldier fell straight down before he could cry out in pain.
The soldier, who was carrying half a stick, saw that his two companions were dead, and knew that he had met a master, so he turned and fled. Qu Hao didn't stop doing anything, picked up a spear, and threw it at him like a javelin, but he didn't expect that the handle of this spear was a slightly curved wooden stick, and after throwing it, it was deflected, passing next to the soldier's waist and not hitting. Immediately afterwards, I heard the hoarse cry of this man: "The spy has killed, the spy has killed."
Qu Hao had no choice but to get on the motorcycle with Meng Yao and drive in the direction he came, and before getting into the car, Qu Hao also retrieved the expensive lighter from the soldier.
