Chapter 114: Let's Go to the Mountain, It's too boring
"It's retribution, you know? There are many more people waiting for you below! Zhu Da leaned into the ear of Zheng Yong, who was dying, and said something in his ear, he felt that Zheng Yong's death was too simple, and this was not a punishment.
“...... I was so scared, I watched them do this, I was so scared that I couldn't sleep, but I never forgot it...... I can't help but ......" Zheng Yong muttered in his mouth, his voice became smaller and smaller, and he didn't know what to say, but in the end, his eyes widened, his face was full of fear, and he didn't know where the strength came from, and he hissed: "I can't help it, don't blame me, don't blame me, spare ......"
The words are clueless, but Zhu Da can vaguely hear the cause and effect, this Zheng Yong was kidnapped by several outlaws when he was a child, and was later rescued by the Zheng family.
It's one thing to figure out cause and effect, Zhu Da turned over his hand and slashed at the vital part of Zheng Yong's lower body, such an incomparably severe pain even made the dying Zheng Yong feel it clearly, his eyes widened and he was about to scream, Zhu Da had already copied the dagger in his hand and stabbed it directly into Zheng Yong's mouth.
"At the end of the day, you're still a brute and a scumbag." Zhu Da said in a sullen voice, you were stimulated back then, it's not an excuse for you to kill like a beast, no matter how pitiful you were back then, there were so many innocent and weak women who died tragically.
These two knives went down, the person was completely dead, Zhu Da spit out and stood up, while Zhou Qingyun chopped a few knives with hatred, when the goal was achieved, the tense spirit would be relaxed, and at this time, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun noticed that the crying outside had stopped, but there was a stern scolding.
The crying old lady was a nearby resident, and at first she might be able to scare the innkeepers, and if she found out, she would inevitably be scolded and driven away, but the task of attracting attention was done.
"Keep your head down and walk out, don't say anything, if someone asks, you will go over vaguely." Zhu Da admonished, threw the body into the courtyard with Zhou Qingyun, closed the courtyard door inside, and sent a message in a low voice from the outside, and the people inside came out of the wall.
The courtyard is still very quiet, and everyone who is outside all the year round knows that when it is dark, even if you hear any unusual movements, don't be curious, otherwise, the fate of being killed for money is waiting.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun lowered their heads, just walked along the root of the wall, they didn't meet a few people on the road, and they didn't bother to say hello when they met occasionally, and they couldn't see clearly in the black light, even if they saw it, two people wearing ordinary clothes and walking with their heads down, there was nothing worth paying attention to.
When they reached the base of the wall, the two of them climbed over the wall with each other, deliberately walked in opposite directions, and then began to crawl forward, to return to the place where they started.
"Bastard, pretending to be a ghost at night and scary! If it weren't for the fact that you were a lonely old man, I would have killed you tonight! ”
"A few uncles, it was the fairy grandfather who asked the old woman to come over and cry, saying that he couldn't cry, and my hard-working daughter was suffering on the eighteenth floor of hell."
The guards asked angrily, mixed with the old woman's panicked explanation, Zhu Da, who crawled over there, couldn't help but sneer, what kind of immortal, he did pretend to be a ghost, but the five taels of broken silver thrown to the old lady were the real reason, otherwise how could he come out and cry so late.
"There have been no guests in the north in the past few days, and I can be quiet and idle, but a Zheng Yong and an old lady make people sleep peacefully."
"Don't think it's so beautiful, if you don't come for a few days, there will be more after a few days, maybe it's delayed halfway, you have to be busy."
Most of the guards inside and outside the inn didn't care much about Zheng Yong or how he was haunted at night, at best it was just a talking point, what they really cared about was something closely related to their personal affairs.
This mentality makes Zhu Da more relaxed, the more he doesn't care about it, the sooner he finds Zheng Yong, the less likely he is, and the more likely he is to escape.
He crept forward to a secluded place, and then got up and walked up to his mount, which was still quietly waiting there, as it had been properly positioned before leaving.
"I thought it was a tiger's den in Longtan, but I didn't think it was a grass nest, and I haven't found it over there yet, so it's not as good as the thieves' den we went to hunt." Just changed the bloodstained clothes on his body, Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but say.
Even with Zhou Qingyun's calmness, he was able to successfully lurk in and successfully kill and return, this excitement was inevitable, Zhu Da also felt a little fluttery, but he still pretended to be mature and said: "This is not necessarily a good thing, our brothers must not be careless, it is impossible to be so easy every time." ”
"It's so fake, you can't help but laugh." Zhou Qingyun couldn't help but reply.
Zhu Da smiled in a low voice, without arguing, and during the discussion, the two of them quickly packed up their mounts and led their horses towards the official road.
After walking in the dark for a while, and when they reached the side of the avenue, they lit the torches, let go of their mounts slightly, and let the horses jog forward, looking back as they went, and when they could no longer see the lights of the inn and the hundred houses, they were completely relaxed, and the two began to take turns to rest, one riding and leading the other horse, and the other lying on the back of the horse to take a nap, and then changing shifts.
When the sky is white, I judge the approximate position by the light of the sky, and when I travel in the night, it is in this plain area, and it is easy to run in the wrong direction if I am not careful, and I often walk for a few hours at night, and I have deviated a lot at dawn, which is why everyone is reluctant to walk at night in addition to those dangers, and it is often easy to get twice the result with half the effort.
As soon as the sky dawns, you can't go like this, two people walking on the road may be seen, although most people will not know each other, but in case there is an acquaintance, seeing two people appear here so early, if you know that Zheng Yong was killed at night, then there is a little bit of possibility to be linked, even if you see it in the daytime, and find that they are so far away from Zheng Jiaji, there will be the possibility of cranky thoughts, for Zheng Xunjian, who has lost his eldest son, there may not be such a calm analysis and judgment at that time, I'm afraid it's going to be indiscriminate.
Although the Zheng family is so indiscriminate and can't get the right result, for Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun, it is still good to put an end to it, and things like seeking revenge cannot be prevented.
The two began to leave the official road, along the path to the distant mountains, to the edge of the mountain, fast horses gallop almost a day and a half of the journey, and then along the mountain, most of the day can reach the location of the salt cave in the mountain, this is actually a big circle, but it can ensure that no one is discovered, the medicine pickers and hunters who enter the mountains are often alone, these people see and hear something, often very late to spread it.
The bloody clothes worn by Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were not thrown away in the baggage, and it was possible to be dug up by someone if they were buried, and it was easy to attract attention if they were burned, so the two of them prepared to go to a proper place to deal with it, and in order to prevent the bloody clothes from attracting flies and insects, they also deliberately sprinkled lime on the baggage.
The two of them didn't meet a few people on the road, the weather was hot, everyone was active near the village, even if someone noticed, seeing such a person riding a horse with a knife would only stay away, if it was not a place for the strong to sit outside the county, then there would be no royal laws and rules to talk about, pure law and strength, anyone would become the target of wealth and murder, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have horses and knives, obviously they can't afford to offend, and vice versa, if they really want to meet a lot of people, others dare to attack the two of them, So they stay away from places where there are a lot of people.
This road is very quiet, the only eye-catching is the sky beacon smoke, but after watching it for so many years, the originally thrilling signal is also numbing, not to mention that the strong beacon smoke a few days ago has now faded a lot, indicating that the situation at the border has improved.
"We are farther away from the border than Shanxi, and we still say that we are a hinterland, and we still say that we are a peaceful place." It's boring to go, Zhu Da said with a smile, at the beginning, Zhu Da was never used to this kind of division, this Shanxi and Datong are actually two places side by side.
Zhou Qingyun was also listless, yawned there, rubbed his eyes and said: "It's good that the Tartar can come in for more than 100 miles, but our side is much farther than this 100 miles, of course, it's a hinterland." ”
Zhu Da has these geographical knowledge from the memory of more than 20 years, and Zhou Qingyun learned it from Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo, and Zhu Da has been consciously imparting it.
The mountains in the distance are getting clearer and clearer in the field of vision, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun are walking more and more easily, the villages have become scarce, and so are the tracks, Zhou Qingyun even has time to shoot three rabbits, and they can be roasted and eaten when camping at night, and now they rarely fish directly to eat fish, unless they come out with a pot stove, the fishing thing has not stopped, but the fish is very clean, and the condiments are complete when cooking.
"Zheng Yong's body should be discovered, will the Zheng family send people to search everywhere, will they invite killers or something, and how will the two of us deal with it then?"
The two sat by the fire, roasting meat, and whispering, Zhou Qingyun was obviously a little excited when he said this, Zhu Da smiled bitterly, thinking that he shouldn't tell him too many martial arts stories, and now it has caused some unrealistic fantasies for Zhou Qingyun.
"Don't think nonsense, you calculate the time, we walked for a day and a half of the night to get here, and the person who reported the inn was afraid that he had only arrived at Zhengjiaji now, and he didn't have time to react."
Hearing Zhu Da's words, Zhou Qingyun lowered his head and stirred the fire rather boringly, Zhu Da smiled and said: "The old rule, take shifts and rest, you can see Qin Qin tomorrow afternoon, and I don't know if she is afraid of staying by herself!" ”
