Pang Tong questioned the mountain people, and it turned out that the place to the south was the camp of the warrior regiment defending the Wasai tribe. He walked there with curiosity, asking passers-by from time to time. He walked into a stone-paved street.

"Dang, dangdang."

The scorching iron plate was thinned by the hammer, and the sparks splashed up, and the man in the bib raised his thick and strong arms from repeated tempering. For a while, it was almost a blacksmith's shop, and then the carpenter was carefully drilling and slotting the planks, and the sound of planing sounded on the other side. After walking inward for a while, the large village that surrounds the mountain wall in a semi-circle posture is displayed in front of you, with the towering tree stump as the wall, and the two-zhang high main gate stands tall and open. Two warriors in sleeveless leather armor armed with short swords stood on either side. Looking in from the entrance, there are large cylindrical wooden houses on both sides, and deep in the middle is a relatively large square where many people practice.

The expressions of the two guards as if they were facing a great enemy made him stop, and he should be exempted from entering. Just as he was about to turn around, a man nine feet tall strode forward. The two passed by, and the man's face was carved like a statue of Dali, and he glanced at Pang Tong with the eyes of a suspicious figure, but Pang Tong instantly felt that it was a wolf-like creature watching over him.

The thick chest slammed into him, and Pang Tong took two steps back in a hurry, following one of the several men who were also wearing leather armor behind the man. He saw that the man's face had an ugly look like he had witnessed vomit, and the others had hostile glances. He was aware of his present presence and seemed unfriendly.

"I'm sorry."

He smiled and walked around them. I could only hear someone behind me saying, "The people outside should be driven out, what are you doing here?" ”

"Yes, it's so suspicious, I don't know if it's Liu Yan's spy."

Just like being shot wildly in the back by a sharp arrow, Pang Tong gritted his teeth and left. If you stay a little longer, I guess there will be even more ugly words. He quickened his pace before the wolf-like creatures went berserk. As they walked farther and farther away, it seemed that the creatures were still following. He had never been so embarrassed, like being seen as a maggot, laughing at and driving away.

When he returned to the hut, it was already close to ten in the evening, and Dian Wei returned. Pang Tong sat on the mat and tinkered with the bamboo tube that the patriarch had given. When I saw him come back, I couldn't wait to ask, "How was the harvest today?" ”

Dian Wei pointed to the east, where the slaughterhouse was concentrated, and said, "A big wild boar, that's very big." His hands were in front of him, describing the circular outline from top to bottom.

"That's great. But I think we'll have to leave sooner. ”

After Pang Tong threw out his words, Dian Wei hesitated for a moment before slowly sitting down in front of him. The slightly puzzled gaze met Pang Tong's serious gaze. Dian Wei asked, "The horses in the north are still there, and it is best for us to get help from the tribe on this trip." ”

Pang Tong bit the wrinkles on his lower lip because of the slight dryness, as if he had no plans and didn't know how to answer this most important question.

Dian Wei saw that he was silent, so he said: "Trouble Xiangyi, let her intercede, maybe she can help us." ”

Pang Tong frowned and said, "Is it okay to let a girl intercede for our two big men?" Instead, he slammed his fist into the mat and made a muffled sound.

Dian Wei, who still had specks of blood on his leather armor, turned his face to look at the window, and the two fell silent for a while.

The next day, as the midday sun covered Pang Tong's cross-legged lower body, Xiang Yi came in with food. She let it go as usual. Pang Tong opened his eyes and said gently, "It's so fragrant." He leaned over and picked up the chopsticks. Today's white rice is topped with boiled salted pork.

Xiangyi knelt down and sat down, still looking at Pang Tong's appetite with satisfaction. Pang Tong ate half of it, and the appetite he had just had vanished. His face paused heavily, and after eating the food in his mouth, he said to Xiangyi, "We're leaving." ”

Xiangyi grinned in surprise, and her heart felt as uncomfortable as if she had been pinched. Pang Tong put down the dishes and chopsticks after eating. Xiangyi looked down at the ground and asked weakly, "Are you in a hurry?" ”

Pang Tong's godless gaze fell into the void and said, "Well, tomorrow." ”

Xiang Yi raised his head abruptly and rebuked in a serious tone like an expert: "Nonsense! It's not a matter of tomorrow to go, otherwise the wound will crack and you will have to ...... At least ten days! ”

Pang Tong muttered, "Is there any difference between one day and ten days......

"Nope."

Xiangyi said resolutely, picked up the plate and left, as if she would not allow it no matter what Pang Tong said. But Pang Tong felt that if she didn't allow it, it seemed that her plan to leave would be disrupted all of a sudden.

Looking at the falling curtain, he muttered, "Ten days is ten days." ”

Ten days like an arrow. At noon on this day, the meal came relatively late. Because of this, the atmosphere is a little tense. When Xiang Yi came in with a plate, Pang Tong sat up straight, as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Are you really leaving?"

Xiangyi put down the plate, Pang Tong reached out and took the chopsticks, looking at the slightly yellow and tender bamboo shoots and meat slices on the rice. With inexplicable guilt in his heart, he said hoarsely: "Yes, I said to the mountain bear, and I will leave tomorrow." ”

Xiangyi pressed his two small hands into fists on his thighs and said, "It's chaotic outside, if you are seriously injured, you won't be so lucky." ”

"There's no way, I've already embarked on this road, and I can't turn back."

Xiangyi stiffened his head and said loudly: "Stay!" ”

Pang Tong was stunned and put down the dishes and chopsticks. It was raining and it was dark outside the window. From time to time, people who were sheltering from the rain ran briskly across the muddy ground outside.

There was silence in the room. The two men frozen there didn't look at each other, their heads hanging down. After a moment, Pang Tong was shocked to notice the slight sobbing. Xiangyi cried.

She stood up and fled the hut in agony as if she had been abused. Pang Tong's hand had reached into the void, where she had just been, but only the curtain shook in the doorway.

The thunder roared, the white light flashed between the sky and the earth, and the rain intensified in the alternation of black and white.

Due to the continuous light rain the next day, the road was slippery and muddy. Pang Tong and Dian Wei waited until the day after tomorrow. The sun pierces the dark clouds that envelop the entire Watta mountain range.

Led by Xiangche, Pang Tong walked the way to the camp of the Warriors. He and Dian Wei walked in from the very vigilant gaze of the guards on both sides, and if it weren't for Xiang Che in front, they would have been embarrassed. They shuttled from house to house in the camp to the deep and wide training grounds. The warriors were separated into two columns, not like they were sandwiched into a farewell. A cold expression is standard, and there are also cold and hostile glances from time to time. Pang Tong had some ugly words in his ears.

"It's long overdue."

"Now the village is clean again."

Kayoru glared angrily at those who spoke, but everyone's emotions couldn't be stopped at all. At the end of the hill, a staircase of a one-foot wide path stretched diagonally upward. It is a village within the miraculous mountain walls. Dian Wei had a bow and arrow, a quiver, and a halberd on his back, and he walked up, Pang Tong turned to look, except for those strong mountain people who had no good intentions, there was no expected farewell.

He turned away and followed the two. In the middle, at a distance of ten meters, the Wasai tribe huddled within the mountain wall. The location of the former hut, the roads traveled, and the places that have not yet had time to go are all in view. It's a pity that all this will be turned into a cloud of smoke, and the person who can most touch his delicate and tender feelings in this may be hating himself in some room. Can you miss me? Will you cry? Pang Tong was thinking as the voice of Xiangche rushing ahead echoed through the steep mountain road that crossed the mountain wall.

"Hurry up."

"Got it!"

At a place five or six meters away from the top of the mountain, the road was still downhill. Pang Tong could see the scene beyond the mountain, looking at the vast forests, high mountains, and low hills. He walked away and began to move outside, back to the world he had been.

As you go down, the more you go to the bottom, the wider the road becomes, and there are many more guards on both sides who are constantly patrolling back and forth. After stepping on the last staircase, Pang Tong involuntarily looked back, raised his head, the section he had just walked was so steep, he was far away from the village.

Dian Wei untied the halberd from his back. Xiang Che handed a water bag to Pang Tong and said, "I must come again." ”

Pang Tong, who hadn't walked much but showed a tired expression, barely showed a smile, as if his heart had been tightened.

"Yes, will definitely come back."

"You can't brag!"

As she spoke, she put her hands on the back of her head and looked at them as she stepped back up the stairs. His skilful gait is clear that he does not fall because he can't see the road.

"What a naughty guy."

With that thought to them, Chancher had already turned around and walked back. Then, he froze on the spot, and on the high staircase, a yellow body was short. He fixed his eyes on the wounded fawn he had seen the day he woke up. At this moment, he has recovered from his injuries, and for some reason he actually walked on the mountain road, it is really strange that he came to see him off. In any case, Pang Tong was very moved, he raised his hand and waved.

"Your Excellency."

Dian Wei called out, and Pang Tong turned back to keep up with him. Basically, after descending the mountain road, he walked into the jungle, holding a water bag in one hand and touching the short sword hanging from his belt in the other to make sure that the short sword hanging from his belt was fastened. The road under the greenery is particularly shady.

"I'm familiar with the area, so we get to the north in the evening and go out in the evening. Be careful. ”

Pang Tong nodded after hearing this.

Dwarf ferns are all over the feet, some with barbed leaves that are easy to cut. A python descended from the thick tree pole and was slashed in two by Dian Wei's halberd. The bugs climbed up the trouser legs, and Pang Tong slapped them down.

"It's really troublesome in the forest."

The more Pang Tong walked, the more stuffy he felt, and the sticky sweat soaked through his clothes. The air began to get muddy, and Dian Wei reminded, "Be careful, some places are mud swamps. ”

Pang Tong wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt that maybe it would be better to stay in the village for a while, and it shouldn't be so bad in autumn and winter.

A scream full of sorrow rang out from the north, and the birds scattered like arrows in their skirts. Pang Tong swallowed nervously, and both he and Dian Wei stopped. Then, the chaotic shouts and the clashing of weapons twisted into a ball and burst into a ball in the north.
