Chapter 94: The Thatched Flying House is broken
"Hehe, princess, we should find out where they are going, Cai Cong brought five hundred people, obviously on guard, and now if he wants to ambush him, it is very difficult, and if he can't say it, he will be killed by five hundred elite soldiers.
So we laid an ambush on the road, and when he returned to the station, we shot him with arrows. ”
Mr. Zhuge slapped the table hard as he spoke, and the others applauded, and even the princess was happy and nodded happily.
"Without further ado, immediately go to the little guy at the post station and ask where they are going. White wolf, you hang behind them in a moment, see if there are any suitable ambushes along the way, and come back and tell me. ”
The white wolf nodded indifferently, turned around and strode away, this is an extremely proud man, despising everything. Even standing in the crowd, his arrogance made him alien to the world.
"Phew, what the hell, he has a tense face all day long, I really want to smash his face with a punch." Some people spat in the direction of the white wolf with disdain, and the others did not make a sound to refute it, they both looked down on the white wolf's arrogance and deeply feared his bow and arrow.
"Jianghu ranger, that's what it is, if it weren't for the princess who saved his mother back then, he wouldn't even be able to invite him now, you guys should be polite to him, he kills people like chickens."
The princess said solemnly, she had a deep sense of powerlessness against the white wolf, and she couldn't surrender at all.
"Okay, don't provoke this crazy lone wolf, go check your sword, I'm afraid there will be a big battle soon." After Mr. Zhuge finished speaking, the others dispersed, leaving only the princess and Mr. Zhuge to look at each other wordlessly.
Five hundred people are like iron buckets, surrounding Cai Cong, no matter who wants to get close to Cai Cong's carriage, they need to face the culling of one hundred and ten people. The servants brought by Du Yunlong were squeezed out of the way and hung far away, which made Du Yunlong embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, and walked on the side of the carriage on horseback.
From the sun just coming out, to the sun overhead, the carriage was replaced by horses, and the horses were replaced with four-legged horses, Cai Cong was dizzy, and finally came to the mountain village in Du Yunlong's mouth.
People who have never seen it will not feel the shock, the mud mixed with weeds piled up on the earthen wall, covered with whitish thatch, the wind blows and leaks on all sides, Cai Cong can't think of the land in the house on a rainy day is dry.
Many of the children in the village are naked, bare-bottomed, and occasionally a few are wearing crotch cloths, which is very rare. They carry firewood to their homes, and the children of the poor are already in charge, and while others are playing, they have learned to work to help their parents lighten their burdens.
Cai Cong was dressed in a brocade robe and wore Liuyun boots, like a character who came out of a book, and the eyes of those children were full of envy and curiosity. They don't dare to ask for such good clothes, as long as they have something to cover their shame.
"Where's your village chief? Take us to him. Du Yunlong handed a piece of sugar cake to a child and asked gently.
The child took the candy cake and ran towards the village chief's house with cheers in the envious eyes of the others.
The village chief's house should be the best house in the village, why? Because there are tiles to cover the roof.
Cai Cong didn't go in, although this house is the best, but it looks like it should be a cultural relic of the former Sui, the beams on the roof are broken, Cai Cong is really afraid that he will be smashed when he goes in.
He ordered a few stools and tables to be set up on the side of the road, and beckoned the village chief to sit down.
"It's a salute to my parents, there are no good things in the poor countryside, only two glasses of water, please don't laugh." The village chief obviously knew Du Yunlong, blushed shyly, and said with his head down.
"Along the way, I'm also a little thirsty, thank you brother for the water, uncle, you also come a little? This water is mountain spring water, the most sweet, delicious! Du Yunlong generously took a sip of water, and warmly beckoned Cai Cong to taste it.
Cai Cong took a sip and found that it was unusually sweet, turned to Tang Yi and said, "When you go back, buy some spring water with your fellow countrymen, this boiled tea must be excellent." He turned around again and asked the village chief, "Old man, why can't you see any of the young people in the village, have they all entered the mountain?" ”
"Yes! The people in the village have gone into the mountains to beg for food, baby, are you the child of your parents? ”
The village chief said and took out a handful of pine nuts from his cuffs and put them in Cai Cong's hand, this is already a decent gift for him, and he usually gives three or two to his grandson to satisfy his hunger.
Cai Cong was not ambiguous, picked up a pine nut and swallowed, and said with a smile: "It's so fragrant!"
The village chief smiled at this time, he was afraid that Cai Cong would dislike him just now, and he would be embarrassed at that time. Hurriedly took out another handful and wanted to stuff it into Cai Cong's hand.
Du Yunlong hurriedly grabbed him and said complainingly: "Village chief, this is Uncle Cai Cong, a big official from Chang'an, who is here to give you a livelihood, you pay attention, don't bump into Uncle!"
The village chief was so frightened that he knelt on the ground and trembled, he didn't understand anything, and he didn't know how big the official from Chang'an was, but he was definitely bigger than the county commander.
"Hurry up, old man." Cai Cong hurriedly helped the village chief up, glared at Du Yunlong, and then said with a smile: "Old man, I heard that your village is rich in leather goods and medicinal herbs, I don't know if it's true?"
"Really, it's all true, do you want to buy it, little master?" The village chief's head was like a chicken eating rice, and he wanted to get up when he spoke.
"Is there any ready-made, take it and see, if it's really good, my Cai family will send a caravan to contact you and collect your goods on a monthly or quarterly basis. When the time comes, I will teach you some more ways to grow medicinal herbs, and your life will be interesting. ”
Before Cai Cong's words were finished, the old man rushed into his house in a puff of smoke, leaving only boiling dust floating in the air.
"Dog leftovers, go and bring me the medicinal herbs that your old man dried, go quickly, slow, the old man broke your legs."
The village chief came out with a burden in his arms, and shouted at a little ghost who was snotty, so frightened that the child's hair was about to fly.
The village chief gently put the burden on the table and slowly opened it. As soon as the burden was opened, the dogs in the village barked wildly, and when the burden was opened, all the dogs fell to the ground and whimpered, and some dogs were scared to pee.
A yellow and black fur was exposed in front of everyone, and the village chief picked it up and shook it, and a majesty of the beastmaster rushed towards him.
"Good skin!" Cai Cong screamed, this tiger skin is perfect. The fur is supple, the hair swirls are clear, and more importantly, the tiger is only missing a tooth, and there is no damage all over the body.
"How is this done?"
"So that the little master knows, this is the tiger that my son hunted, and three arrows were shot into the tiger's mouth, and the tiger was killed on the spot, the only pity is that one of the tiger's teeth was knocked off by the arrow."
Speaking of the pride on the face of the village chief of Tiger Hunting, he didn't stutter anymore, his son was the second best hunter in the village, and he ...... is the best hunter.
"Okay, you old man, the old man has come a few times, but you haven't taken it out, are you afraid that I will rob you of your tiger skin?" Du Yunlong scolded with a smile, reaching out to touch the tiger skin, his eyes were full of love.
"How can you! This was originally intended to be kept as a family heirloom, but the little lord wanted to give the villagers a way to make a living, so the tiger-skinned old man gave it to him to show his gratitude. ”
The village chief said briskly, but everyone could see the reluctance in his eyes, such a tiger skin is also a treasure in Chang'an!
