Chapter 5 Weihe Village
Yao Feng slowly pulled out his sword, and Wen Tho struggled to glance back at Song Daodao, unable to bear the pain in his abdomen, and took a few steps back.
"Don't retreat!" Song Dao Ideal rushed forward to organize Wen Tho, but was tightly bound by the people around him.
Moon Tho had slowly lost consciousness, and his legs and feet seemed to be uncontrollable, until he retreated to the edge of the cliff and fell.
Yao Feng stood on the edge of the cliff, looked down, and instructed the people around him, "Send a few people down to see if Qi Shi is still alive?" ”
Qi Wen, Wang Kan, Qi Shi, Wen Tho, Song Daodao saw four people die within four hours. In the past 20 years or so, Song Daodao's funerals have not been as many as those who died tonight.
They've either just spoken to themselves, or they've just made friends, or they're colleagues. Although the friendship is not so deep, everyone will be a little sad.
This is not the 21st century, and the people here are not the same as you, and if you want to survive in this era of human life, you must either be strong enough, or you have a strong teammate who you trust enough. Fortunately, Song Daodao found this teammate.
"Let's go!"
Yao Feng's voice pulled Song Daodao back to reality, I don't know what happened to the other people in the garrison team now?
Without thinking about it, Yao Feng's team had been sorted out and continued on the road.
The team climbed over a mountain called Huo Mountain by the locals, and then the team continued to move forward, and Song Daodao couldn't tell the direction, just limped to follow the team.
At dawn, the team came to a large river.
The river is wide and endless, and only the undulating mountains can be seen on the opposite side. There are large and small thick blocks of ice floating on the surface of the river, which must have been frozen before, but now melted.
Not far from the shore is a seemingly small sand tree, on which it seems that a watchtower has been built.
Soon, several small wooden boats departed from the sand and rowed to the shore.
The leader of the rowing boat dismounted, boarded ashore, glanced at the captured procession, paused when he saw Song Daodao, and then came to Yao Feng's side.
"Second master, the people have been sent back, and the brother who was ambushed in the middle has also been rescued."
Yao Feng bowed slightly after hearing this: "Send them over." ”
"Yes."
Under that person's arrangement, Song Daodao and his party, in a group of five, got on the boat without falling.
The fleet rowed on the river, and the small sand and zhu seen before gradually became larger, and it turned out that there were not only hope towers built on it, but also two rows of thatched huts, and there were queues of running and exercising on the shore, and there were some horizontal bars and parallel bars around it, which was probably also Wu Zhu's masterpiece.
There is more than one such sand zhu, and I saw five of them just by looking at it along the way, and it is really five steps, one post, ten steps and one sentry.
The original mountain range is gradually revealed, and this is not on the other side of the river, but a large sandbar island.
There is actually only one mountain on the island, but from a distance it looks like it is connected to the mountains on the other side of the river.
When I came to the shore, I saw a flag erected in the village, and a word was written on it, but Song Daodao didn't know it, like a cursive prefix.
Song Daodao guessed for a long time and didn't guess it, but it is certain that this is absolutely impossible to be "Wu".
There were already people waiting on the shore, and when they saw the boat approaching, they immediately stepped forward to help dock.
Under the arrangement, Song Daodao and others got off the boat and went ashore in an orderly manner.
To the southeast of the island there is a flat, open field that looks like a field, but it is winter and there is nothing growing in the field.
As soon as you go to the island, in front of you is a small village that sits in the north and faces south, and is built by the mountain, and the village is surrounded by rammed earth, and only one place in the south has a door.
Entering the stockade, the interior is generally divided into three parts, the northern mountainous land, the southeast flat land and the southwest flat land.
To the southwest was an open field, where a group of people were practicing. To the southeast are the thatched huts, which look like the houses of the island's residents.
These huts are staggered in rows, and alleys lead in all directions. Roughly calculated, there are almost 500 houses here.
The stockade is laid on the ground in a trapezoidal shape, and the northern mountain is difficult to prune because it is on the mountain, so it occupies a smaller area than the southern one.
The northern hill consists of a cluster of small wooden buildings, on three sides, east, west and south, enclosing the four main buildings arranged in a square on the north side, which is supposed to be the residence of the management of the stockade.
The south-western military zone is strictly separated from the south-eastern residential area and the northern political zone by a fence, while there is no clear distinction between the residential area and the political zone. If there is, the houses in the political area are more luxurious than in the residential area.
Maybe it's winter, and there is no farm work, so all the people in the residential area are at their doorstep, either basking in the sun and chatting about family life, or doing some handicrafts, weaving baskets or something.
Song Daodao's team was directly sent to an abandoned thatched hut in the northwest corner of the northern political district, and Yao Feng also specially instructed Song Daodao to separate Song Daodao from others, and don't let Song Daodao die.
Song Daodao was really locked up alone in a room, and the room was full of sundries, such as shabby linen clothes, broken crockpots, firewood, etc., just like a garbage gathering place.
"Big brother, why am I being locked up in solitary confinement, is it because you want me to do any work to arrest us?"
A strong man dressed in a cloth shirt and wearing a black turban was brought to the house alone by pressing Song Daodao.
Yao Feng's special treatment of himself did not make Song Daodao feel comfortable, on the contrary, it made Song Daodao feel a sense of crisis.
Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one around, Song Daodao simply asked this strong man directly.
The strong man glanced at Song Daodao viciously: "Don't ask what you shouldn't ask." ”
After being reprimanded, Song Daodao didn't dare to ask anything, but he still wanted to find out what his situation was and where Wu Zhu was.
Looking at the flag floating in the stockade, Song Daodao immediately asked again: "Big brother, I can't read, what is written on that flag?" ”
"What's that, you ask?"
"I just think it's weirdly pretty, just ask."
"That's, it was written by my third master, Zhaoping, personally, and it was written with the uncle's surname - Ying."
Song Daodao was taken aback, and hurriedly asked, "Your uncle is not surnamed Wu, but surnamed Ying?" ”
"Why does my uncle have the surname Wu, he has always been surnamed Ying."
Song Dao suddenly felt bad, and the Wu brother he learned from Yao Feng's mouth should be Wu Zhu, and he calculated that the leader of the village should be Wu Zhu.
But now that the leader is not surnamed Wu at all, then Wu Zhu cannot be the leader. Then why does Yao Feng call him brother as the second brother of the cottage? Could it be that this brother is not an honorific title in terms of status, but only in terms of age, or just a name?
Looking at Yao Feng last night, such a little white face, it is estimated that he is about twenty years old.
Therefore, Song Dao is now looking for a man surnamed Wu who is over twenty years old, but how many people are over twenty years old in this village, when will this be found!
"Big brother, is there a man surnamed Wu in the village, called Wu Zhu, a man over twenty years old?" Song Daodao asked again.
"Why do you have so many problems?" The strong man didn't want to pay attention to Song Daodao anymore, so he went out directly and closed the door with him, "I'll give you the meal, and the fire is forbidden in the house, so I won't give you the light." ”
"Big brother, just tell me!" Song Daodao knocked the wooden door, this news is too important, it is directly related to his own life, and he must get it.
"It's just that the old Wu head of the kitchen is surnamed Wu, and it's not clear what it's called." The strong man threw down the words, locked the door from the outside, and left.
Old Woo Tou!
This title sounds like an old man, could it be that Wu Zhu crossed over and dressed as a dying old man? And he also worked in the kitchen, in the Qin Dynasty, a man worked in the kitchen, how low is this status!
But thinking about it on the whole, if you have a lot of age and experience, Yao Feng, who is the second master, has to call him brother.
Elder brother?
The more Song Dao thought about this matter, the more wrong it became, Yao Feng, a twenty-year-old boy, called a person called Lao Wutou and called brother, how old is this Yao Feng's generation!
But if you think about it, it's also possible, it's really not easy to talk about seniority, and I have a nephew who is older than me in modern times.
Now that people have locked one again, whether it is or not, Song Daodao only has this choice for the time being.
As for why these people arrested themselves and why they only treated themselves specially, Song Daodao also made an analysis of these issues.
The only difference between himself and others is that he is a county lieutenant and the others are just commoners.
On the bright side, these people took a fancy to their identity and wanted to Zhao'an or pull themselves into the gang. But if this is the case, why did he treat himself so roughly, and he also killed Wang Kan, who was also a county lieutenant.
That can only think about the worst, Song Dao doesn't want to think about it, let alone dare to think about it. These robbers have no logic in doing things. Accidentally, the leader surnamed Ying was actually a woman, and she took a fancy to herself, and forcibly tied herself up the mountain to be the "lady of the village".
I don't know if Daqin has the custom of calling the female leader uncle, I hope there is, if not, then this "lady of the village" will be terrible.
In any case, the most important thing at this time is to find a way to confront the old Wu Tou, once the relationship is established, it is easy to say.
On the other side, in the middle of the meeting hall of the stockade, a thirty-year-old man, burly, with an angular face leaning on the seat, with his feet on the table in front of him, holding a bundle of bamboo slips in one right hand, holding a bowl of wine in his left hand, and two guards standing next to him, obviously he is the leader of the entire stockade.
There were six seats on either side of the stage, and there was no one on the seats.
Yao Feng walked straight into the lobby: "Big brother, someone brought it back." ”
"Brought both back?" When the leader saw Yao Feng coming back, he put away his crossed legs, threw the bamboo slip wine bowl on the table, and asked lazily.
"Brought back one, and the other is the grandson of the king thief." Yao Feng replied.
The leader pondered for a moment, then involuntarily picked up the bowl with his hand and drank it all.
"Wang Qian's grandson, he is also in the garrison? What, you let him run? ”
"I killed you." When Yao Feng said this, his face was expressionless, and he looked like he should have been.
Hearing that Wang Kan was killed, the leader seemed to breathe a sigh of relief: "Kill it, kill it, just catch one!" ”
"Big brother, little brother has something unknown."
"Speak."
"In this surprise attack, you are trying to capture a county lieutenant and the one surnamed Wu. I understand the county lieutenant, but why are you so good to the man surnamed Wu. ”
"What is surnamed Wu, Uncle Wu is a person who is very kind to your eldest brother."
