"Then I and the iron head will go in and have a look, and if we don't come out after an hour, you should leave quickly, don't go into the city, and don't stay longer." Winter melon looked at the city gate, his face was heavy, "I don't know how the loach and the six dogs are doing now." ”

Zhao Erhu patted him on the shoulder: "I believe they are not so easy to be caught, it must be because of something delayed." ”

Tietou laughed and said: "Why are you so worried, I think the two of them must be fine, it is estimated that they entered the Goolan Tile Courtyard and forgot the time, didn't this happen before." ”

Donggua smiled reluctantly: "I hope so, okay, then let's go in, Erhu and Brother Cheng stay here and be careful." ”

Cheng Xiaohao and Zhao Erhu nodded.

After seeing the two enter the city, Cheng Xiaohao asked, "What kind of city is that in front?" ”

Zhao Erhu: "It's Jiangling Mansion." ”

Cheng Xiaohao searched for his limited knowledge of history and geography, but did not get any news about Jiangling, but felt a little familiar, probably having heard of the name.

Cheng Xiaohao: "How far are we from where we are going?" ”

Zhao Erhu: "There are about seven or eight days to go." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Still can't tell me the name of the place I'm going to?" ”

Zhao Erhu shook his head apologetically: "It's not that I can't believe you, brother, it's really the rules of the village, I really can't say it, anyway, when you enter the village, you will naturally know." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Okay. ”

The two hid in the grass and waited quietly.

I don't know how long it took, Cheng Xiaohao was so sleepy that he dozed off.

But the mosquitoes in his ears kept "buzzing", and Cheng Xiaohao couldn't sleep.

How can there be mosquitoes in the spring.

Fortunately, he was wearing a long coat and trousers under his robe, otherwise he would have to feed the mosquitoes.

He turned his head to look at Zhao Erhu, who was wearing a short fight, and wanted to joke about mosquitoes, but Zhao Erhu looked worried.

Cheng Xiaohao asked, "Are you worried about them?" How long has it been now? ”

Zhao Erhu's expression was solemn: "It should have been an hour, it seems that something serious has really happened in the city." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "That ......"

Do they venture in or follow the advice of the winter melon and leave?

Although I want to ask, but at this time, it is better to continue to be silent.

After a while, Zhao Erhu stood up, he took out a wooden card from his arms and handed it to Cheng Xiaohao, and instructed: "I know the danger of entering the city, but I really can't rest assured of them." This wooden sign is a passage object in the village, you take it all the way to the west, about another four or five days, you can get to the site in the wall, when you take this sign to go to the Goolan tile courtyard of the city, someone will take you to the village. ”

"This ......" Cheng Xiaohao didn't know whether to accept it or not, it stands to reason that he should go to the city with Zhao Erhu without fear of danger, but knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains is not a rational choice.

Zhao Erhu thought for a while, then took out the money bag from his arms and took out all the money in it: "Oh, by the way, you can take these money passes." ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "That's too much. ”

Zhao Erhu: "It's only 500 Wen." It's still a long way to go, so be careful when you're alone. If you are alone, don't take the path, try to go up the avenue, you can go to the small town and the village to spend the night, and there is ......"

He babbled a lot, Cheng Xiaohao wrote them down one by one, and finally did not propose to go to the city with Zhao Erhu.

It's not that he's afraid of death, he's not afraid of death, but he's afraid of pain, if he gets caught, tortured or something...... Until now, his ass still seemed to ache.

Moreover, I feel that even if I go into the city, I will not be able to help much, and I may have to hold back.

Glancing at the dark forest behind him, Cheng Xiaohao couldn't help but shudder.

Although he was a staunch atheist, he couldn't help but be a little scared.

Of course, as the saying goes, fear comes from the unknown, and he is afraid of the unknown, not some ghosts or gods.

Moreover, this ancient forest was not as safe as it is today, and the beasts and poisonous snakes in it were all dangerous to kill people.

On weekdays, when a few people are in company, those ferocious beasts dare not approach, if they are alone...... Don't really encounter a tiger or anything, after all, it's the Song Dynasty now, and it's very dangerous in the jungle.

Just like the Water Margin related to the Song Dynasty, he is still quite familiar with it. The two important characters in it are related to tigers, one is Li Kui, whose mother was eaten by a tiger; One is naturally the tiger hero Wu Song, who killed a tiger with his bare hands in a drunken state.

The frequency and length of this tiger also confirm from the side that the tiger damage in the Song Dynasty should be quite serious.

And along the way, especially at night, you can often hear the howling of tigers and wolves.

I still won't be in a hurry tonight, so I'll stay here and wait for the night, and I'll leave tomorrow at dawn.

Maybe they really just lingered on the flowers and forgot to come out.

In this way, Cheng Xiaohao dozed off in the grass, half-asleep and half-awake until dawn.

Quite a few people carrying burdens, sacks, carts, and cattle walked not far from him.

Cheng Xiaohao cheered up and squinted at the city gate.

Thanks to his good eyesight, he saw that the two guards at the gate of the city did not seem to be looking very closely, and they did not hold portraits or anything in their hands.

He shook the blades of grass off his body, and circled around a bush to blend in with the crowd of people entering the city.

In a short time, they had reached the gate of the city.

When I got closer, I realized that the gatekeeper at the city gate did not check his identity, but just stood lazily and pretended.

After entering the city, Cheng Xiaohao looked left and right, for fear that his wanted portrait would be posted on the streets and alleys.

However, the fact is that he was too worried, and there were no portraits of him posted everywhere in the city, only a pile of portraits on the wall of one eaves, but most of them were yellowed and tattered, and at first glance they looked weathered and weathered, and there were no new ones.

I don't know where Zhao Erhu and they went?

It's itchy and greasy, and there is a smell when you smell it carefully.

He hadn't bathed since he was imprisoned, and it should have been six or seven days by now.

Let's find a shop to take a shower and change your clothes.

Don't go too far from this gate, it's best to find a place where you can see the street through the window.

I looked left and right, and finally saw a store.

But when he went in and asked, the price of the hotel directly persuaded him.

I actually cost 100 wen a night!

It's too expensive to live in.

Cheng Xiaohao searched for a long time next to this, but he didn't find a suitable place to stay.

I was a little hungry again, and suddenly I saw a street stall called Zhang Shun's porridge shop.

The name......

Cheng Xiaohao walked over with some curiosity.

A fat woman with a blue cloth scarf on her head walked over, and she smiled: "What does the guest officer want to eat?" The small shop has porridge, meat porridge, and wild vegetable porridge. ”

Cheng Xiaohao: "Is there anything else to eat besides porridge?" ”

Drinking porridge is only temporary, and it won't be long before you get hungry. Or eat some solid food, so that you can really fill your stomach.
