In Zhu Dana's memory of more than 20 years, there are often lonely inns on the side of the official road in the story, there are no people on the left and right, and people with a little common sense dare not enter the house, and anyone can guess that this is a black shop.

In the past three years of experience, inns are often an extension of the village, or the setting of some private estate, otherwise, there is no way to ensure the safety of the travelers and merchants, and there is no way to gain the trust of the guests.

The same is true of the inn where Zheng Yong stayed, Qingfeng Inn relied on Qingfeng Baihu, which was an industry under the name of a local Baihu, and the status of this Baihu in the local area was similar to Zheng Jiaji's Zheng Inspection, which was a local tyrant who ate both black and white, and this inn was also one of his scenes.

Qingfeng Baihu is much more complete than Baibao Village, this Qingfeng Inn is a building outside the gate of Tuweizi, connected to Tuwei, surrounded by earth walls.

From a distance, you can see that the inn is heavily guarded, and such security has exceeded the level of the inn, and you can even see warriors on horseback and with swords wandering around.

“..... There is no shortage of horses here in Datong, and the country sticks can also get a few horses to ride and swagger, but the Central Plains side is different......"

Seeing this, Zhu Da couldn't help but think of Yuan Biao's words, no matter how sarcastic the old man's tone was, but Datong is close to the border, fighting all year round, there is no distinction between the military and the people, and the combat effectiveness of this local tyrant and local stick cannot be underestimated.

Zhou Qingyun squatted on the side to sort out the arrows, he was very careful, trying not to let the arrows touch his skin, when doing this, Zhou Qingyun frowned, there were some flying insects around, because the smell was very bad, probably after cleaning up, he said: "Why bother to soak these arrows in fecal water, this stink can't be dispersed for a few days." ”

"Because as long as he is shot and the wound is not cleaned in time, he will have a fever at night, and if he can't make it, the wound will festering and he will die." Juda replied in a low voice.

This method of dealing with arrow clusters is similar to the principle of producing wooden guns for self-defense in Baibao Village, soaking them in dirt will cause infection and illness to the enemy, and it will also cause maiming and death.

"I didn't expect this Zheng Yong to really enter this Zhuangzi, even if he ran elsewhere, it would be difficult for us to chase."

"He owes a blood debt, even if he is a beast without a trace of humanity, I am afraid that there is a bit of taboo in my heart, don't sit all the time, be careful of numb qi and blood, and it will be inconvenient to wait for the next activity."

"How did he get into the inn, it would have been better if he had entered the hundred households."

"The relationship between these hundred households and Zheng Patrol Inspection is also like that, a day's journey on horseback, one is a place, the other is a guard, when encountering such a bandit and a giant thief, he can be contained in the inn, and it is already a huge face to send people to inspect, if you enter Zhuangzi, what if you are affected?"

"It's nothing to enter Zhuangzi, we've also thought about this, maybe it's better to go in and take advantage of the chaos."

It was getting dark, and the warriors on horseback who were wandering outside also returned to Zhuangzi, only to see that there were torches and lanterns lit up on the inn and the earthen fence, and it was still dark except for the light of the stars and moon.

At this time, Zhu Da is very glad for his actions back then, because he has replenished enough protein and fat at the beginning, so he did not let his body owe anything in training, and more importantly, his night vision was not affected.

In this year, the nutrition of many people who practice martial arts is not so sufficient, not to mention oil and water, and the food can be eaten is not so much, in such a nutritional state, night vision has been greatly affected, night blindness is a common condition, as for Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun Over the years, pigs, cows, sheep, chickens, ducks, eggs, milk and fish have not eaten less, not to mention vegetables and grains, natural nutrition is sufficient, and there is nothing wrong with the body.

It is precisely because of the existence of "night blindness" that is, night blindness, that many people cannot see clearly without enough bright lights at night, and their eyesight in the dark is extremely poor, so the army rarely dares to fight at night, and it is necessary to guard against the bombing of the camp caused by a few enemies and even their own family disturbances.

It was easy for Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun to find someone to confirm Zheng Yong's whereabouts, there was blood on his body, and the masked man with a knife in his hand forced him to ask, but it was none of his business, no one would grit his teeth and not say anything, Zheng Yong's appearance of running away was very conspicuous, and when it was probably confirmed, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun stayed in the predetermined place.

They haven't been here much in this area, but they've been here separately, figured out all the situations, and then went back to check them one by one, and everything that happened so far was still expected, and the two of them weren't too nervous.

"Qin Qin is fine, right?" Zhou Qingyun asked sullenly.

"The food and clothing in that hut are all complete, how can there be anything." Zhu Da knew that Zhou Qingyun was not nervous now, Zhou Qingyun could calm down on the one hand, but on the other hand, he was afraid of boredom, especially on the eve of waiting for the start, he habitually said something to relieve boredom, because this habit had been trained by Yuan Biao many times.

Zhou Qingyun was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Are you ready not to go back?" ”

"I'm thinking that we're going back late, and Uncle Xiang and they will also go into the mountain to take Qin Qin back, it's not that we will fold it in this time, you shut up for me now!" Zhu Da was a little angry by Zhou Qingyun's words, and reprimanded him angrily, Zhou Qingyun shook his head and began to maintain the bowstring.

Zhu Da did plan for the worst, otherwise he wouldn't have put Qin Qin in the house near the salt cave, but he was too frustrated to say this before the battle, so he couldn't help but get angry.

Whether this is meaningful for the rest of his life, Zhu Da has weighed it many times, not only does it not actively promote, but there will be many unpredictable risks, for them now, even if Qin Xiucai is behind him, Zheng Xunjian is also a behemoth, and a behemoth with sharp teeth.

Zhu Da, who has a sense of alienation from this era, hesitated, but in the end he decided to do it, otherwise, he would be uneasy, which was very important to him.

It was completely dark, and in those more than 20 years of life, Zhu Da began to think that it was the norm to not be very dark at night, and the lights, street lamps and various public lighting and even light pollution of the residents made the world very bright, but he was shocked when he went on a field trip, it turned out that he really couldn't see his fingers, it turned out to be really pitch black, and he thought that the stars that illuminated the night were so dim, no wonder the constellations could only be used to point out the direction.

At that time, the team leader once said that the night is nothing now, and the light of the city and the countryside still affects the so-called "wilderness", which was completely different in the past, Zhu Da will be suspicious of this, after all, people only have trust in what they see with their own eyes, but in these ten years of life, he knows that he is right, the night of this era is really dark, if the moonlight is not enough, people's original eyesight is indeed not enough in the dark, or it takes a longer time to adapt.

There will be no moonlight tonight, although the crescent moon is like a hook and the stars are brilliant, but they can only feel it when they look up, looking in the direction of the Zhuangzi Inn, only the lights are shaking, and they can vaguely see the green and strong terrain around the lights, Zhu Da and Zhou Qingyun turned their backs to the inn at first, they only looked at the places where there was no light, and occasionally turned back.

After a while, the lights in the direction of the Qingfeng Inn were also extinguished in a few places, whether it was burning wood or lighting wax, it cost money, such an inn did not have such a big business, so naturally there were not so many lights.

There was a growing silence all around, made worse by the occasional chirping of birds and beasts, and Juda and the others had hid in the darkness, their mounts had been fed with fodder and water, and were now covered with hives and chews, unable to make a sound, but in this state the horses had fallen asleep.

On weekdays, Qingfeng Inn should be on the door panel, and most of the shopkeepers are asleep, but now the door panel has been up, and half of the people are not allowed to sleep, and they are all on duty everywhere with their berichments, and there are seven or eight hundred households outside in the people's strong guards, because there is a son of a friend of a hundred households who was robbed on the road, and now he is afraid that the thieves will chase and kill, so everyone must be on duty at night.

Everyone can see clearly what the people of the Zheng family do, they are very bullish on horseback and with knives on weekdays, and there are a lot of rumors, what is today's fire and take advantage, tomorrow's battle will be a complete victory, and what martial arts skilled heroes are serving here, what border town fine horsemen, what grassland thieves, such strongmen have been killed four, and the remaining young master escaped in embarrassment, what kind of ability is the interception and killing, is it a tiger descending the mountain? Could it be that the generals have come out to make a fortune again?

He can't protect himself, why let everyone work hard for him, the son and nephew of the hundred households around him are not sent out, and he is not even allowed to enter the fence, so what is the protection, those evil stars are really chasing after him, let's all hurry up and dodge, but don't rush to the front stupidly, didn't the nimble little third son say? The master of the hundred households is also polite and polite, let's all follow the politeness, don't be stupid and not long-sighted.

There is such a thought, you can imagine how to slack off, Datong at this time the night weather is very pleasant, put a few handfuls of wormwood in the fire can also repel mosquitoes, it is a good time to nap, the timid doze, the bold directly close their eyes on the edge of the fire, the surroundings are becoming quieter and quieter, the thief can not see clearly at night, it is estimated that tomorrow will come, wait for tomorrow dawn, then change shifts, do not do their own business!

Xiao Sanzi couldn't stop nodding his head there, and he would be awake when his chin touched his chest, he looked around sleepily, Xiao Sanzi knew that he couldn't see anything clearly, he could only see the range of the fire, and it wouldn't work if he was a little farther away, but he didn't want to see it clearly, so as not to see what he shouldn't see.

At this time, Xiao Sanzi saw that there seemed to be lights swaying in the distance, and thought it was a firefly or a dazzle, just wiped his eyes, but heard a cry of nothing, he was just about to close his eyes, and his eyes widened in an instant, only to feel that the hairs on his body exploded, and the cool air rushed straight to his head from the soles of his feet, is this a ghost fire, is this a ghost crying!
