Chapter 696: The First Battle of the Tarslaves (14)
Even if he entered the town smoothly with mountain goods, the business was not good. Many times they had to carry it back to the village, and even if they were sold, it was at a very low price. Let the hard work along the way not be rewarded as it should be.
And this situation would not have happened at all during the Dahua Dynasty, at that time, not to mention that there was no obstacle to entering the town, and the business was so good that it exploded, basically the mountain goods were set as soon as they were put on the table, and the price was still very high. Every time the villagers go out of the mountain, they make a lot of money. Every time, I bought meat and wine, and returned to the village happily.
Since the arrival of the Tartars, the prosperity of the village has ceased to exist.
Therefore, the reason why the villagers hate the Tatar slaves is not only because they have slaughtered the village, but also because they have given the villagers a good way to live.
At this time, Liu Yong came back from killing and drove the Tartar slaves to the north, and the prosperous scene in the village gradually recovered. How could they not be grateful to Liu Yong? It's just grateful.
The old village chief gushed about the benefits of the establishment of the Huahan Dynasty to their village, and the stars flew wildly, his face full of excitement.
The three Li Shan brothers were also extremely fascinated by what they listened, after all, this is a historical witness. At the same time, the three brothers also respected Liu Yong even more.
When I was almost done, I continued to drive.
The old village chief patted his ass and stood up, and said, "Let's go, the more you rest, the more reluctant you are to go." We're trying to get up to Tiger Rock before it gets dark. ”
Li He asked, "Uncle, where is the Tiger Stone?" ”
The old village chief pointed his finger upwards and said, "Do you see that white stone?" There it is. ”
The three brothers looked at it together, but the big rock was clearly visible, and it really looked like a tiger. Aggressive look. However, it doesn't seem very high and far away.
The second one, Li Hai, asked, "Uncle, is it so close, can it take an afternoon?" ”
When the old village chief heard this, he laughed, and only after laughing enough did he say: "Erlang, you look close, but when you get up, you are not close." ”
In fact, it's like in a big modern city, your target is a skyscraper, you look at it from a distance, you think it's very close to you, but as soon as you walk up, you have a feeling that you can't reach it, and the building is still in front of you. That's how it feels.
The old village chief smiled and said, "Let's go, it's good to be there before dark, there is a cave under the tiger rock where you can spend the night." We'll sleep there tonight and climb up tomorrow. ”
The boss Li Shan said: "Okay uncle, please lead the way!" ”
The four of them packed up, brought everything they should have brought with them, and began their journey to Qinshan.
The old village chief took the three Li Shan brothers into a large forest, and as soon as they entered the forest, they felt that it was steep. The forest is full of bushes. Since there have been fewer people in the village in recent years, there are relatively few people entering the mountains. Even some roads were obscured by grass and shrubs.
Now the people in the village go up the mountain, and they basically walk around. In this way, the road is completely gone.
At this time, the old village chief walked in front, looking for the previous way with memory. He is old, and he has rarely gone to this main mountain in the past few years, but at the foot of this mountain, he collects some ordinary medicinal materials and sells them in the town.
The old village chief brought a machete, and the three Li Shan brothers were equipped with waist knives, which were certainly not the same sabers as the army. Otherwise, it would raise suspicions. They all brought ordinary waist knives worn by people in the rivers and lakes, which were only used for self-defense. So that there will be no suspicion.
At this time, this waist knife is used to deal with these messy and annoying bushes in front of you.
The four of them had a hard time walking in the woods. About half an hour passed. The old village chief cut out a small piece of open space and said, "Rest for a while!" ”
The clothes of the four were already soaked with sweat. The second Lehi looked down the hill, and it seemed that he could still see the entrance when they came up, for he clearly remembered that when he first entered the woods, there was a big tree that had been broken off at waist length, and the big tree was very thick and obvious.
Seeing this, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Uncle, we've only been gone so far!" ”
The old village chief sat down on top of a fallen tree, wiped his sweat and said, "What do you think? ”
Lehi said, "That's really slow. In fact, with his normal personality, he is not afraid of this speed. It's just that the three brothers are on a mission with the court. Don't dare to delay time.
The old village chief was a little impatient when he heard the words of the second Li Hai, so he said with a smile: "Erlang, don't be impatient, when you get out of this forest, it will be easier to leave." ”
Just hearing this, the second Li Hai was a little relieved, so he sat down to rest.
The four of them were tired, and they didn't talk much. There was still a slight cool breeze in the woods, and it was very comfortable to hang on. A few crisp birdsongs, like someone singing, are also pleasant to listen to.
The boss Li Shan lay down directly to rest. The old village chief immediately called him and said, "Da Lang, don't you put something under your body, it's easy to have waist and leg pain, and the ground in this mountain forest is not as wet as the outside." ”
The frightened boss Li Shan quickly sat up.
The old village chief asked again, "What, are you tired?" ”
The boss Li Shan shook his head with a smile and said, "I'm not tired, I just want to lie down for a while." ”
The old village chief said, "Don't lie down, wait until you get out of the forest to find a place to lie down and rest." The higher it is, the cooler it is. The mountain wind is blowing around you, looking at the blue sky overhead, it is comfortable to lie down. ”
The boss Li Shan smiled and said, "Okay, just wait out of the woods." ”
Li He, a third man who didn't speak, asked at this time: "Uncle, how long will it take to walk out of this wood?" ”
The old village chief said without thinking: "At least an hour." ”
Li He nodded, not too long. It's all about going anyway. There was one thing in his mind, whether to make a mark on the road now, or to do it again when he went down the mountain.
In the end, he decided to do it again when he was going down the mountain. Because it is not necessary to go down the mountain and take that road, and it is certainly not a straight road to go up the mountain. So there's no need to make a mark.
The four of them rested quietly at this time, ready to climb the mountain again.
It seems that this mountain is indeed difficult to climb, no wonder this mountain is a natural military barrier. It seems to be reasonable. At this moment, the boss Li Shan couldn't help but beat a little drum in his heart. He was a little unsure if the three brothers would find their way up the mountain.
You must know that this is only going up the mountain, even if you go up to the top of the mountain, there is still a way down the mountain on the other side of the mountain to be searched. Besides, I don't know what the situation is on the other side of the mountain, and if it is all cliffs, it will be troublesome. Even if this side succeeds in going up the mountain, it will be in vain. I want to talk about "Song Gui of the Financial Empire" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find confidants~
