Chapter 3 Tibetan military camp in the mountains
The most reluctant to Luo Bai is Ah Luo.
But the person who woke him up in the morning was also Ah Luo.
That morning's meal was bitter and seemed to be mixed with Arlo's tears.
Luo Bai cried while eating, and his breakfast became more and more bitter......
"When children are long, they will be heroic and short-breathed!"
This is a sentence that Han Wuxin often hangs on his lips, so at the age of forty, he is not married. And when Ah Luo heard this, she never got angry, she replied with a smile: "What Uncle Han said is true." ”
Before dawn, the two of them rode horses and rushed out of Luojia Village, which was still sleeping.
On the edge of the door in front of the thatched hut, only the gentle woman gazed affectionately in the autumn rain......
This farewell, Luo Bai didn't know when he would be able to come back.
But he didn't look back.
Because from the bottom of his heart, he also agrees with Han Wuxin's sentence, children will be heroic and short of breath!
On the way, Han Wuxin kept repeating a sentence, and rarely nagged.
"You have to walk the road on your own."
Luo Bai didn't know the meaning of this sentence, he hugged Han Wuxin's waist, for fear that this guy would throw him off the horse: "I know, I know!" ”
Han Wuxin heard his impatience, sighed silently, and didn't say anything more.
Now Luo Bai didn't know what he was going to face.
But he couldn't say anything.
The horse galloped on the road, and after several turns, rushed into Qinshan.
Chang'an City, west of Qinshan Mountain, south of Qinshui, surrounded by mountains and rivers.
When the capital was built, it was known as the Thang Long Bureau.
But no one told the rulers of the Xia Dynasty that the situation of the ascending dragon was also the situation of the trapped dragon.
Fifty miles away, they reached the foot of the mountain at dawn, where seven men were already waiting.
Four middle-aged people and three teenagers.
They were all dressed in green clothes, and their faces were solemn, as if they had experienced countless wars, and their feelings were frozen. Just like a sheathed sword, there is no emotion, only a hidden edge.
If there is a difference, it is that the young man on the far right has a broad sword on his back, which looks particularly eye-catching.
None of them spoke at the moment, waiting quietly here.
It wasn't until Luo Bai arrived that they all looked at the two Han Wuxin, who were late.
The middle-aged man standing in the middle of the horse with a beard that extends from his square face down to his chin.
His eyes were clear, and there was no trace of ups and downs due to the cold and unintentional tardiness.
"You're late."
The three people standing on one side looked at him unexpectedly, and then at the newcomer, Han Wuxin.
They believe that this "late" will naturally not be Luo Bai, a junior.
Han Wuxin nodded: "I went to the capital." ”
The middle-aged man nodded, looked back at the others, and said loudly: "Everyone is together, let's go!" ”
A few simple words reveal too much, but only guesses.
As warriors, the last thing they need is guesswork.
Looking at the middle-aged man who had already turned the horse's head, the middle-aged man on the other three horses dismounted and handed the reins to the young man on the horse.
The three teenagers knew what they were going to face next, but they cowered a little at the moment.
The young man on the horse in the middle shook his hands even more, and did not take the reins.
The middle-aged man's face turned red, and there was a hint of anger: "Take it!" ”
The boy trembled, as if he had handed over not a rein, but a poisonous snake.
Seeing that he looked cowardly, the middle-aged man stuffed the reins into his hand and said angrily: "Take it!" ”
The young man finally held the reins in his hand, and the middle-aged man's face looked a little better.
The boy with the sword on his back was the first to ride out, followed by the boy on the left, and then the boy in the middle.
Han Wuxin also knew that it was time to separate, he silently dismounted, handed the reins to Luo Bai, and said the last goodbye: "Don't embarrass your father......"
Father? I still have a father? Didn't I jump out of the rock?
Luo Bai's eyes widened and he looked at Han Wuxin: "What do you mean......"
Without waiting for Luo Bai to finish speaking, Han Wuxin slapped the horse's buttocks, and the horse cheered and ran out.
Looking at Han Wuxin, who was getting more and more blurry behind him, Luo Bai suddenly felt that he had fallen into a trap.
Behind him, a middle-aged man patted Han Wuxin and said, "Brother, if you are late for one night, I am afraid that your family will have a hard time in the future." ”
Han Wuxin didn't speak. Untied the wine bag, took a sip, and handed it to the middle-aged man next to him.
The middle-aged man didn't ask anything, but also took a sip and passed it on to the next one.
On this morning of autumn rain, four middle-aged men who didn't know each other, the corners of their eyes showed out, and they didn't know if it was autumn rain or tears......
"Will they come back alive?"
"Yes?"
"yes, yes?"
The sound of an answer, "Yes", is more like a question.
Han Wuxin looked at Luo Bai who disappeared into the depths of Qin Mountain, his eyes were full of blankness.
"I'm going to come back alive......"
In the depths of Qin Mountain, Luo Bai had already stabilized his emotions.
Although he was curious about his father's news, he could only wait until he got home.
What he is curious about now is that Han Wuxin has not mentioned anything about his father for eight years, how can he bring it up now?
As for now, looking at the four people in front of him, he can only keep up.
Without telling him the purpose, without telling him what to do, and without a word of advice, he didn't know anything, so he could only blindly follow the four of them and ride forward.
The mountains were full of trees, and it was very dark. If Luo Bai hadn't learned to ride and shoot since he was a child, he might not be able to catch up with them.
But even so, the people who led the way at the front still had some problems, and changed directions back and forth a dozen times, almost throwing them off.
Fortunately, the young man with the sword behind him had superb riding skills and could always barely keep up, so that the three Luo Bai behind him would not be lost.
Finally, in this endless chase, the people in front stopped.
Luo Bai tightened the reins and stopped steadily.
This is the entrance to a canyon.
The bald trees of the valley mouth go straight into the sky, more than ten zhang high, covering the entire valley mouth.
If they hadn't just stopped, he wouldn't have believed that there was a canyon hidden here!
The middle-aged man at the front was the first to dismount and slowly approached Taniguchi.
There was no order, but the three teenagers dismounted honestly and followed behind.
Luo Bai did the same and followed.
It's just that he ran all the way, and his body couldn't bear it a little, and he was panting heavily.
Approaching the valley mouth, a soldier in black armor stepped out of the valley.
Seeing the middle-aged man at the front, he was about to salute, but he heard the other party say: "It's a few of them, especially the last one, take good care of me!" ”
Then he handed the reins to the soldier and went into the valley.
The soldier looked at the four teenagers in front of him curiously, and finally fell on Luo Bai, and said with a smile: "Boy, what's your name?" ”
Luo Bai understood the words of the middle-aged man before, and when he was asked at this moment, he hurriedly replied: "Luo Bai." ”
The soldier was stunned for a moment, and asked uncertainly, "Your surname is Luo?" ”
At this moment, not only him, but even the other three teenagers looked at him with a hint of surprise in their eyes.
Luo Bai let out a "hmm" and wondered, "Is there a problem?" ”
The soldier came back to his senses and smiled, "No problem. ”
"Someone!"
At his command, two more soldiers in armor stepped out of the valley.
"Take the horse away."
Luo Bai obediently handed over the reins.
But at this moment, I heard the soldier muttering to himself: "I haven't eaten stewed horse meat for a long time!" ”
Luo Bai's eyes widened, and he subconsciously wanted to snatch the reins, but when he heard a scream, he saw a young man flying out upside down.
"When you get here, put away your sense of superiority. Here, even if I play you to death, your elders won't come here to find trouble. Remember, this is my first reminder and the last. ”
The horses were taken away, and the three soldiers were gone, leaving Luo Bai and the four of them standing alone at the mouth of the valley, a little at a loss.
The sun had risen, and everything in the forest was becoming clearer.
The beaten teenager cried stubbornly, as if he had lost a loved one.
The boy with the sword on his back and the boy who hadn't caught the reins before stood to the side, deeply silent.
Luo Bai really wanted to ask what was going on, but looking at the scene in front of him, he dispelled his thoughts.
The trees in the mountains are tall and dense, and the temperature is very low.
Riding a horse before had consumed too much of his physical strength. Now that he was attacked by the cold, he felt even more cold and shivered.
"You said your surname is Luo?"
Just when Luo Bai was trembling, the young man with the sword on his back walked over.
Luo Bai hugged his chest tremblingly, raised his head, and revealed a pale face.
"My surname is Luo."
The young man with the sword on his back looked at his pale face and frowned, "Why is your body so bad?" ”
Luo Bai smiled bitterly: "My mother was born less than a month, can I be in good health?" ”
This is what Ah Luo told him, and Luo Bai also firmly believes it.
The young man with the sword on his back was slightly surprised, and he didn't continue to ask: "My name is Feng Ping." ”
With that, close your eyes and stand aside.
Luo Bai felt that this was called Feng Ping, but he couldn't tell what the blame was.
originally thought that someone would finally speak, and he also wanted to ask about the situation, but in the blink of an eye, Feng Ping just closed his eyes and didn't speak, which made him unable to speak.
Just when he was a little distressed, the young man who had not caught the reins came over.
The young man was a little fat, with a hint of cowardice in his eyes, and his face was slightly pale.
"Changyang Mingyue has seen Brother Luo."
This little fat man looks honest, but his name is so elegant and beautiful, Luo Bai's eyes lit up.
"Mingyue? How do you look like a girl's name? ”
Changyang Mingyue suddenly looked embarrassed, and was just about to explain, when the beaten young man spoke: "The male of their family is dead, and finally there is this single seedling left, so I quickly took the woman's name so that I can live." ”
Luo Bai looked back and found that the other party was no longer crying, his face was indifferent, and he had obviously controlled his emotions.
Just said such hurtful words as soon as he recovered, Changyang Mingyue looked at the young man angrily, but the other party didn't hear it, walked straight over, and looked at Luo Bai condescendingly: "In Xia Huozong, I've seen Brother Luo." ”
This teenager, who was still crying a moment ago, is now full of confidence.
Luo Bai finally realized that something was wrong, although these three people met for the first time, they seemed to be a little humble in their attitude.
Even if their words were self-introductions, Luo Bai was still aware of the tone and demeanor of their words.
He felt slightly strange, but there was no slack on his face, and he immediately replied: "Luo Bai." ”
After speaking, in order to prevent these two guys from closing their eyes and not speaking, they immediately asked, "What are we doing here?" ”
At this time, not only Huo Zong and Changyang Mingyue, but even Feng Ping opened his eyes and looked at Luo Bai suspiciously.
In the end, Huo Zong asked, "Didn't your family tell you?" ”
Luo Bai shook his head.
Han has no intention of feeding the whole family without starving, in addition to beating him, he will force him to study, how can he understand this?
Seeing Luo Bai shaking his head, Huo Zong and the three of them all showed strange looks.
The three of them didn't ask again, nor did they answer Luo Bai's words. They closed their eyes, stood aside, and waited quietly.
This Luo Bai is even more strange.
And so it was evening.
Four soldiers walked out with four pots.
The four of them, who were already hungry, hurriedly stepped forward, but when they opened it, they saw that it was a few pieces of half-cooked meat.
At this moment, the flesh is sticky with blood, and the flesh is also steaming, and occasionally there are blood bubbles, which looks like flesh and blood are blurred.
Luo Bai was still a little hungry, but when he saw these things, he first took two steps back in fright, and then turned around and vomited out all the contents in his stomach.
Not only him, but even the most calm Feng Ping is no exception.
The four soldiers who brought the food laughed when they watched them vomit one by one. Then he pointed a few fingers at them, turned and walked away.
The four people who had been hungry for a day completely lost their appetite.
