After eating, it was only halfway through the hour, that is, it was more than two o'clock in the afternoon.

Pang Ti put down his job and went to fight chestnuts noisily, but it caused a response, that is, the light cavalry, who had always been serious and nervous, also flashed a ray of joy in their eyes.

After discussing with Yang Gaotang, it was estimated that no one should be looking for this point, so Li Zhi ordered the guards to remove most of their armament and change to a light state of play.

The so-called heavy armored cavalry and light cavalry in the Tang Dynasty distinguished, that is, the difference between people wearing armor and horses not wearing armor, at that time, the soldiers were fierce, and a large number of Hu people were integrated into the Han nationality, which also made the Han nation's courage and fierceness suddenly increased, especially the Tang soldiers who were selected as light cavalry, often brave and good at fighting, and won many battles.

The cavalry equipment is also more mature, in addition to the commander's sword, the cavalry short soldier with a knife, and the long soldier with a horse lance, at this time, the Rong armor was removed, and the Tang knife and bow and crossbow were uniformly carried.

The commander is the head of the team, one deputy and one person each, named Tang Qi and Fang Pin, both of whom are second-level hunters, and they are also the only two true cultivators among the thirty people.

As early as when he was in the store, Li Zhi promised them that if they fancied a certain clerk or a certain female worker in the East Zhushan, Zhengqing Wenqitang would be unconditionally responsible for the end, including the purchase of houses and land, so although these people had just left the army, there were always a few who complained a little, but after only a few days, they were all dead set on Li Zhi.

Li Zhi's other people, in addition to the excited three daughters, Lao Wu Tou and Tong Lao Liu are also full of interest, they have been living in Chang'an City for nearly 20 years, and they are full of joy when they pick up the childlike fun in the mountains and wilderness when they were young.

Compared with the more lively Aunt Yu Ling, Granny Xia, who has always been stubborn, even followed the half-grown children of the Jiang family early to the yard to compete for the long bamboo pole.

Seeing Li Qi and Yang Gaotang with the same smile on their faces, Li Zhixin smiled secretly, there are these two people who can still use bamboo poles to poke, that is, Tang Qi and Fang Pin, just slap a few palms at the body of the tree, which can also make the mountain chestnuts fall like rain.

But then it would lose the meaning of amusement in the mountains, and suddenly felt Pang Cry laughing behind him, Li Zhi turned around, but he saw the county lord of Yuanwan, who actually asked Tang Qi for a horse lance, and united with Qingqi, one person carried his head, and he was struggling to take small steps.

The horse lance is a heavy cavalry weapon, it is a heavy fine version of the spear, divided into two parts, the lance blade is more than half a meter long, far longer than the ordinary spear and spear weapons, and there are obvious armor-piercing edges on it, which will have eight sides like the sword.

Although the horse lance pole is usually used in the wood, it is made by soaking oil and drying it with fish bubble glue, winding hemp rope horizontally, cutting into the lance, and then coating it with lacquer and wrapping it with kudzu cloth, which is almost the same amount of metal texture.

Li Zhi walked forward with a smile and grabbed it and carried it on his shoulder, "Are you two stupid?" Rugged mountain roads, over mountains and mountains, funny with this bulky guy? ”

The county lord of Yuanwan gave him a blank look, "What do you know, I am planning to go to the water with Qingqi to fish, and the weather is also cold, so you can't go into the water to fish, right?" ”

The group went on the road, and there were a hundred and ten people, and they did not lead a horse to follow, and three of them led the way in front.

Only a moment later, even if he entered the deep mountains, the feeling of being at ease as if the sky was high and the emperor was far away from the world, the hearts of the people in the city were raised, and they chattered excitedly one by one.

A few of them followed Li Zhi at the end, and they were happy: "Look, at this time, most of the women's soldiers are relaxed, with a happy face, and they keep walking, not panting or sweating, and they will be bitter on the way back." ”

Aunt Yu Ling seemed to be more familiar with it, and retorted dissatisfiedly: "Who is not young, it is rare to have such a leisure moment, just like the mood of girls and children at this time, vent to your heart's content, and the bitterness is also a kind of harvest!" It's like some people, who only know how to bury their heads in penance, and when they want to turn around and look at the road they have walked, they are rigid and only boring! ”

He shook his head a little unnaturally from his expression, and just smiled wryly and buried his head in the road.

Li Zhixiang sensed something, and turned his head to look at Yang Gaotang, who couldn't help but laugh and shook his head, with an indescribable mystery.

Turning a few small mountains, you can see in the distance that there are strange peaks, different rocks everywhere, and the cliffs are like knives and axes, which is amazing and a dreamlike feeling of being in a fairyland.

Sun Qinxin was in a good mood, and he actually let go of his throat and shouted a few words, forcibly suppressing the man's rough voice, and a Qin accent was also full of heroic timbre.

Climbing to the top of a mountain, touching the blue sky and walking on the pine waves, the third uncle Jiang Liang pointed to the rich valley and said: "That's it, the scenery is also extremely beautiful, and the fairyland that is rare in the city is general, so I often come here to sit!" ”

Everyone took a look, the sky was clear, the wind was smooth, and the relatively quiet valley was like being baptized by autumn, and it was a little more lively and vivid.

The splendid mountain flowers are scattered all over the mountains, verdant and still verdant, connected with the rolling mountains in the surrounding heights, like an ink painting scroll, rendered by autumn colors.

Fourth uncle Jiang Hong took out a large pile of deerskin gloves from his backpack, which attracted Tang Qi and Fang Pin's special attention, Tang Qi asked for a pair to wear on his hand, turned over and watched for a long time, and retreated to Li Zhi's side in a few steps to whisper.

Li Zhi was also wondering, it is said that this kind of five-finger gloves should not have appeared in the Tang Dynasty, how could they not exist here.

The meaning of Tang Qi's words was that he wanted him to order a batch for the sergeants, especially when he was holding a horse lance, it was far more convenient and practical to go into battle and fight than to tie a cloth belt in his hand.

Li Zhi nodded, stepped forward to ask, Jiang Hong replied with a smile: "This is a kind of handguard leather invented by Orion in the nearby mountains, which was originally only a palm-shaped leather case, and was only used for rock climbing earlier!" For the convenience of everything, it gradually evolved into what it is like now! No problem, these deerskins are just some deerskin scraps, and you will be guaranteed to take hundreds of them with you when you leave! ”

Pang Qi also wore a pair of thoughtful things, not to mention, there was a different style of heroism.

With a thought, Li Zhi turned to Qingqi beside him: "Change to better leather, refine some leather gloves like this, and sell them with fur, it should work very well, right?" ”

Seeing Qingqi nodding frequently, the county lord of Yuanwan muttered in a low voice: "You can't get rid of the businessman's temperament wherever you go, and when you turn your mind, it's silver!" ”

Yang Gaotang laughed, "I can also see that Zhengqing Wenqitang is actually taking a unique business path." Not to mention, this kind of leather gloves really have short-term profit benefits, and the profits will be very high! ”

Li Zhi laughed, "When others start to imitate, maybe I will change to leather shoes, such as leather pants, belts, leather bags, and some are new product development prospects!" ”

Shaking his head from the side, Aunt Yu Ling was displeased: "Are you questioning the ability of the little marquis?" ”

Li Qi smiled bitterly: "I'm being unfair in the Dao Heavens, why do you say that Mr. Li's brain is long?" After a while, I had an idea, but no one around me expressed doubts, that is, I, a newcomer, actually had full confidence! ”

Aunt Yu Ling was angry and happy, "The little marquis is a genius from heaven, and it is a fact that he has a forward-looking vision, and he will only slap himself in the face if he doubts him!" ”

A few people laughed and followed everyone down to the valley, but they accidentally found a winding river, hidden in the bushes and grass, and did not know where it flowed.

The water of the Qinghe River led everyone to sing all the way, and the first oblique sun shone on the sparkling river surface only one meter wide, still shining with dazzling brilliance, making people feel more and more happy.

The river turned a bend, and the eye came into the wild mountain chestnut trees everywhere, with the tall aspen figure, the orange trees swaying branches and leaves, the branches and leaves were covered with thick shade, each chestnut tree was tall and fluffy, like a parasol supporting the sky, as if artificially planted neatly and rowed, submerging this valley in the green waves of chestnut trees.

Walking into the chestnut forest, I saw that the trees were full of round, thorny balls, some of which were green, and some of which had turned green and yellow, and suddenly looked at it, as if thousands of small suns were hanging among the trees, radiating green-green and golden light.

Ripe chestnut fruit balls will also crack a small opening, revealing reddish-brown chestnuts as if smiling at people, someone has stretched out a bamboo pole to knock on the branches, the branches and leaves sway, just like the autumn wind, the leaves have fallen at the same time, there are also scattered mature chestnut fruit balls falling down.

Pang Chuihuan, who was wearing deerskin gloves, screamed happily, ran forward, regardless of the fact that the top of his head continued to scatter at any time, grabbed a few and ran back to Li Zhi's side to show off, bending both eyes into two crescents with a smile, looking in Li Zhi's eyes, his heart was in his heart.

Looking at the fiery eyes of the little girl staring at the mountain chestnut, Li Zhi bit open a chestnut, and the reddish-brown shell was also wrapped in a light red fruit coat, and gently tore open the fruit coat, revealing the yellow and white flesh, and a unique fruity aroma of chestnut came to the face, refreshing people's hearts.

Handing the exposed flesh to Pang Qi's mouth, she couldn't help but take a deep breath, take a small bite, close her eyes slightly, and chew the flesh carefully, fragrant, sweet, crisp, and refreshing, which is the four-character syllables that came out of her mouth, which is obviously very aftertaste.

Granny Xia and Aunt Yu Ling were also unbearable when they saw it, they each turned around to find something a little lower, jumped up and brushed off a fruit ball with a few palms and rolled it down, causing the Yuran sisters to shout for a while, but Qingqi dragged a bamboo basket and stepped over early, leaning over and picking it up quickly.

Soon the children were not big enough to stir up the branches of the trees at a higher place, so the family members of the Sun family and the light cavalry went into battle, and others climbed up a little farther away, and each thick branch kicked down, and there were always some chestnuts scattered.

The children quickly changed roles, one by one lying on their stomachs to find around, picking up by eyesight, because the fruit fell in the leaves and grass, some of them were clearly in front of the eyes but could not see clearly, sometimes they saw one, but they really couldn't do anything about this hairy poke and poke thing, without gloves.

Fortunately, it is the ripening period of chestnuts, and there are always naturally falling cracked fruits under the tree to pick up, when the little ones are surprised to find chestnuts in the grass, carefully peel off the thorny shells, and see the brown and red shiny chestnuts, the excitement is really hearty.

These dense mountain chestnut trees are actually a dense forest of ancient trees, Li Zhi's uncle Jiang Han introduced: "Further inside is a large bamboo forest, along the steep slope of the ridge, climb up is a place called Zizhu Mountain, over the hill is considered a royal garden area, there are already people guarding!" According to the elders, in ancient times, there was a Ciyun Temple built on Zizhu Mountain, when the incense was vigorous, that quiet and beautiful place, attracted many literati and ink writers from the royal garden to visit, and left such hymns as the dawn of Zizhu Mountain, the high clouds and the cranes flying around. Later, the quarantine area was established, and the Tsz Yun Temple also fell, and few people came to see it, but one day Mr. Li could go and see, a sapling in the hands of Mrs. Cryer was dug from there, and there were a few adult trees that several people hugged together! ”

Li Zhi was overjoyed, and deliberately approached the previous section of the road, looking at the mountain through the bamboo forest, but saw that the surrounding woods were luxuriant, the bamboo forests were swaying in the wind, the tall cedar trees were verdant and handsome, and the dense shrubs were green and green.

Between the giant trees in the bamboo forest, you can vaguely see the ancient road that has been preserved relatively intact so far, winding along the mountain terrain gradually, although there is a ramp stone level has been extremely broken, but it should be effortless to walk on such a sky blue tree green, fresh air boulevard, it is nothing to ask for, and the mood will also feel comfortable.
