Chapter 115: Birds and Beasts Scream, Hurry Up
When they reached the side of the mountain, the two of them began to walk northeast along the mountain road, and it was only here that they really relaxed.
Even if the Zheng family knew the news and was determined to avenge Zheng Yong, the forces they could send would only intercept the traffic arteries and deal with all kinds of powerful forces, no one would find the side of the mountain, and no one would have thought that the two "murderers" Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun would go so far and take a lot of meaningless roads.
The two people who were relaxed and comfortable were talking about Qin Qin, after all, they were companions who had been together for several years, this girl was very different from her peers, and even people of her same gender, there was a kind of bold and pungent, and there was a kind of maturity and cunning that did not match her age.
It is somewhat reasonable for such a character to appear in the female dependents of Zheng Inspector's house, it is really strange to appear in a reading door like Qin Xiucai, Zhu Da sometimes can't help but wonder, Qin Qin has become like this, Zhu Da usually pretends to follow the rules as much as possible, but the memories and habits of those years are not so easy to erase, such incompatible and fresh and leading ideas will definitely have an impact on the people around him, Qin Xiucai, Xiang Bo and Zhou Qingyun have all been affected, not to mention Qin Qin, a girl who is growing up and trying to absorb experience and knowledge.
"Maybe we went to the meeting this time, maybe we were picked up by Xiang Bo." Zhou Qingyun said with a smile.
Neither of them made it clear the purpose of sending Qin Qin, because it was too cruel, the reason why they sent the girl to live in a small courtyard in the mountains was because they were afraid that this assassination of Zheng Yong would fail, Qin Qin was too dangerous to stay in Zhengjiaji, and it was too dangerous for Qin Qin to stay in Zhengjiaji, and he was sent to Baibao Village to be protected, and he could also clear up the relationship, and the reason why he didn't send it over immediately was because he was afraid that someone would see the clue in time, and if Qin Qin was taken care of, then the two would either die or flee.
Here in Huairen County and Datong Zuowei, there is a mountain range separated from the side wall, and when there is a distance from the mountain, you can still see the beacon smoke in the north, but you can't see anything when you walk at the foot of the mountain, and the two don't care about this, anyway, there is nothing to do with their own family, before dark, they entered the mountain.
Compared with the plain road, there are fewer people on the mountain road, when Yuan Biao led them to hunt thieves, it was to make a detour in the mountains, so that it was difficult to be tracked, and it was even more convenient when they escaped.
After entering the mountain, they did not dare to go around, they found a shelter from the wind and water, and then cleared the weeds and shrubs roughly, and made a fire here to cook, there was no cauldron with them, but there was a multi-purpose iron bowl, after boiling water, they ate some dry food, and the hot soup and hot rice were ironed.
It gets dark early in the mountains, and when you look up, the sky is still bright, but the mountainside is already dark, as long as you light a bonfire in this position, you don't have to worry about the attack of wild beasts, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun have to go to bed early, and get up early tomorrow to hurry, so that they can receive Qin Qin before noon, and dinner can be eaten in Baibao Village.
“...... This time it was really good luck, two bows and a few arrows, both of which hit the place where they should be......"
“...... Zheng Yong and the five of them were all panicked, no wonder, they were just fighting for water and land, fighting for bullying people, not too much life and death, and their mood was relaxed......"
“...... In fact, there is no need to be so cautious, if we book the second or third arrow to shoot Zheng Yong, it may not be successful, and it will save a lot of trouble......"
“...... Your archery skills are very good, but we can't just think about winning, we must be prepared to run for our lives if we lose, so that we can ...... everything."
“...... Master is right, there is no difference between an old man like you, and a young man should have the same momentum as me, and he can still earn a chance of winning if he is bound to lose.....
After every hunt and battle, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun will review under the leadership of Yuan Biao, summing up the gains and losses of experience, although Yuan Biao left, but they still retain this habit, because after summarizing it again and again, they can indeed feel the improvement, Zhu Da is calling Xiang Yue Master, and Zhou Qingyun likes to call Master Yuan Biao in private, although he has never apprenticed.
was going to rest earlier, but after the review began, the two of them became excited, and the more they talked, the deeper they became, because this ambush against Zheng Yong was completely planned and arranged by the two of them, and the goal was achieved, although this success was a bit of a fluke.
Fully involved from beginning to end, the gains and losses of the whole process will be more clearly grasped, and there will be a deeper understanding, and under such an experience, there will be more to summarize.
“...... If we do the same thing next time, we will be able to kill all the people on official roads......"
After the two of them summed up, Zhu Da came to a conclusion, Zhou Qingyun also nodded calmly, just after saying this, he heard a whistling noise coming from the distance, the two stood up suddenly, Zhou Qingyun was more sensitive than Zhu Da in senses, he frowned slightly, and then said: "It's a voice from the north." ”
When he made this judgment, Zhu Da came to the same conclusion, because the sound became louder and louder, as if there was a strong wind howling in the forest and mountains, from north to south, if you listen carefully, it seems that from the northeast to the southwest, the two people did not run around, in this mountain at night, running around is looking for death, it is easy to get lost, and it is easy to encounter fierce beasts.
Looking up, the sky is still bright, if you are on the side of White Castle Village, you should be able to see the sunset and sunset at this time, at this time, what will be the big deal?
While he was pondering, the manic sound had already reached this side, and the birds that had already roosted and fallen were all startled, chirping in the air, and some wild beasts were roaring, and the mountains were in chaos.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun held weapons in their hands and looked around nervously, but this kind of noise did not last long, and the flocks of birds that flew into the air all fell again, and the manic mountain just now became much quieter, as if the scene just now had not happened.
"Where was the earthquake?" Zhou Qingyun asked.
Zhu Da shook his head slowly, in those more than 20 years of life, he had not encountered such a scene when he traveled in the wild, because the number of birds and beasts was too small, but in the three years of hunting, he encountered it twice, he and Zhou Qingyun were quite nervous, but the old man Yuan Biao was very calm, saying that the heaven and earth were moving in the distance, and the spirituality of birds and beasts far exceeded that of humans, so he sensed it in advance.
Because what Yuan Biao said was too mysterious, Zhu Da seemed to believe it at the time, and only after a few days after leaving the mountain did he know that there was an earthquake somewhere in Shanxi, so he was convinced.
Maybe the change just now was affected by an earthquake somewhere, but with the speed at which news spreads in this era, I don't know when the news will be known.
After experiencing this sudden restlessness, the two of them were not in the mood to review, and after tidying up the fire, they fell down to rest, and they could have slept very well, but after just now, both of them were restless at night.
But the night was quiet, and after the sky in the mountains appeared bright, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun had already gotten up, first fed their mounts, and then cleaned up and continued on their way.
Although it is a mountain road, you can't walk completely in the mountains, especially when crossing the Xiami River, you have to take the shallows to cross the river, which is outside the mountain, and you still walk along the side of the mountain after going out, in fact, after crossing the Xiami River, you can already see the riverside new village and Baibao Village from afar on the side of the mountain, but you have to pick up people first, so you can't go home first.
As soon as the two of them got on the horse, the whistling noise they heard yesterday evening sounded in the distance again, and Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun both had a feeling that this time the whistling noise was closer to them than yesterday.
It was closer, but it was quieter than yesterday, for as soon as the day dawned, the birds flew up from the grass and trees to feed, and there was no such frightened frenzy.
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun were very calm, but Zhu Da muttered in his heart, so twice in a row, could it be that there are still some aftershocks, under such chaos, the mounts of both of them were a little restless, and they calmed down after being appeased.
The restlessness in the mountains quickly dissipated, those who should fly flew away, those who should run ran away, naturally there were not so many disturbing movements, but Zhu Da and the others got up early to get ready to see Qin Qin's happy mood dispersed a lot, and they just hurried forward in silence.
They were familiar with this road, and they arrived at the Chami River in the estimated time, the river surface was not as smooth as a mirror in the past, as if there was a breeze blowing from all directions to blow out disordered ripples, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun didn't notice this, they just took off their clothes familiarly, and then put them on the saddle with their luggage, and began to lead the horses across the river.
The deepest part of the river can probably not reach the chest of an adult, and it is not the first time that the two of them have crossed the river, and the whole process is smooth, but when they are in the river, the two of them look at each other, and Zhu Da said in a muffled voice: "Let's talk about it when we go ashore." ”
When they got ashore, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun didn't care about getting dressed, walked out of the river beach quickly, and immediately lay down to listen to the dirt, and both of them had solemnity and shock on their faces.
"A large team of horses?"
"Hundreds of rides, thousands? How could there be such a large force of soldiers and horses, could it be that a large army was transiting? ”
Both of them learned from Yuan Biao and Xiang Bo the skill of listening to the sound of the enemy cavalry, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun exchanged judgments, did not continue to speak, and hurriedly went to dress and clean up, then turned over and rode the mount towards the outside of the mountain.
They felt it in the river, heard the sound and judged that the large group of horses was coming from the northeast to the southwest, and it was on this side of the river, that is, the large group of horses was probably coming in the direction of the village of White Castle.
"Could it be that last night's and this morning's commotion is due to the march of this caravan!"
"Why don't they rush during the day, but get up early and stay late!"
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun roared at each other against the wind, their faces were gloomy, a large team of horses marched near the mountain, shaking the ground, it would indeed disturb the birds and beasts nearby, what kind of horse team would march along the side of the mountain? What kind of horse teams travel from early morning to early morning and dusk to dark? Why do they hide their tracks?
Fast! Fast! Fast!
Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun beat their mounts desperately and ran away!
