Chapter 046: Yuyang Sees and Hears
The next day, Qin Shen sat up abruptly from his sleep and gasped sharply.
In the dream, warm blood splattered on his face, blurred his eyes, and trickled down his cheeks, surrounded by stumps and broken arms, and in front of him were inexhaustible Hun soldiers, he was surrounded by many dangers......
He had just woken up, and suddenly found that the sky was already bright at this time.
Knowing that all this was just a dream after all, he exhaled a long breath of relief, and subconsciously touched his cheek, but it was wet and sticky.
Isn't this a dream? Just when he hesitated, the movement on his side attracted his attention, and when he turned his head, he saw that the round Xiaobai was overturned to the ground, and his short and thick limbs were kicking towards the sky at the moment, twisting his body and trying to flip over.
"What the hell! So you're making it bad, my face is so delicious? Qin Shen laughed softly and straightened its body, and looked at Zong Hao's corner, where it was already a person who had gone to the ancestral hall.
This old fox, always coming and going, doesn't say much, just so that I owe you more? Qin Shen shook his head and stretched, shocked and still felt that the terrifying battle that had been in place had finally gradually dissipated without a trace like a spring dream.
He couldn't remember the first time he had woken up from a nightmare, but each time the nightmare was about war and so bloody that he felt deeply tired and bored.
Alas! When will it be the end?
Qin Shen was stunned and thought about yesterday's divination and his own situation for a while, and then looked at Zong Hao's resting place last night and found that there was an extra burden beside him, and when he opened it, there were some copper coins and dry food and other items inside.
Silently pinching the burden, Xiaobai arched restlessly on the side of his thigh, so he had to put down his mind and shrug his shoulders and smile with relief, and got up to serve his "new master." ”
"Xiaobai, if you don't lift your skirt when you grow up, I will have to peel off your skin."
Xiaobai kicked his feet to put himself in a more comfortable position, buried his head and sucked seriously, as if he had not heard of the "threat".
After Xiaobai had eaten and drunk enough, and then left traces of his visit in the broken ancestral hall, Qin Shen packed up his belongings, hugged the wolf and led the deer to find a secluded stream to wash.
Stimulated by the cold water, his sanity was completely restored.
Judging from the information obtained yesterday, Wuquan Tie is definitely no longer in trouble, and Qu Han and the others should have returned, so what about him?
Do you want to return to Wuquan as soon as possible, or do you want to find a town to rest first?
Inside, there was a hint of a desire to escape.
The comfortable life of the later life, the escape journey of several days, he is used to the days when he is as free as idle clouds and wild cranes, he is tired of fighting, he is tired of the palpitations that wake up from nightmares, not to mention, the Wuquan camp at this moment may be a tiger's den in Longtan for him.
Alas! What should I do?
Qin Shen sighed and looked down at the reflection in the water, but his eyes were attracted by the parchment booklet that slipped out of his arms at some point.
Staring at the booklet for a moment, I wiped my hands and picked it up, opened it and took a cursory look, and found that each page was painted with a humanoid pattern, with simple and clear lines outlining the trend of the human body's meridians and qi veins, and there was a concise text description below the pattern.
At this time, most of the world has been changed to use the official script to write, compared to the pre-Qin seal characters after hundreds of years of simplification has been much easier to recognize, and he came to this era for more than four months, plus the plain in the army to watch the text, so although the writing can not be written, but reading and understanding is not much of an obstacle.
I flipped through more than ten pages randomly, turned back to the home page again with curiosity, sat down cross-legged and tried it against the breath trend chart and annotations, and found that it seemed to be a little useful, and I was immediately happy.
And in the midst of this joy, due to the fluctuation of the heart, the breath also dispersed.
Qin Shen was about to try again, but the sound of a woodcutter or a hunter singing came from the depths of the jungle behind him, he didn't want to make any extraneous branches, hurriedly packed his bags, hugged the wolf and led the deer in the opposite direction, and fled into the distance.
……
The sun disappears and the moon rises, and the stars move.
More than ten days passed quietly in the blink of an eye, and Qin Shen, who entered the mountains and forests again, closed his eyes and spit out the "Imperial Wind Formula" from beginning to end, and suddenly his body was warm and full of Tai.
Feeling this wonderful moment, a strange thought suddenly appeared in my heart-
I wonder where the warm current will go?
I wanted to do this in my heart and immediately act according to the law, and I was suddenly startled when I tried it, and I couldn't help but secretly speak, no wonder the ancient emperors liked to ask for immortals and asked.
sighed slightly, and couldn't help but secretly say: Lewdness!
But...... Thank you so much! Qin Shen smiled strangely, turned his head to check the injury on his left arm, and found that the scab was now getting better, so he couldn't help but nod with satisfaction.
If it weren't for the fact that I happened to have the ability to survive in the wild, and I once followed my grandfather to learn to identify some common herbs, I am afraid that even if I was not starved to death, I would have died of inflammation and infection of the wound.
What made him even more satisfied was that in this difficult environment, he did not lose weight, but became stronger and stronger.
After learning something, the injury is not serious, and putting aside those potential troubles that follow him, he can not be said to be unhappy at this moment, and even this bitter cold mountain forest seems to have become colorful.
Comfortably close your eyes and take a deep breath to feel the beauty of nature, and suddenly realize that your ears and eyes seem to be more than a hundred times smarter than before, and even those creatures hibernating underground can feel it very clearly when you breathe in.
I put down all the doubts, surprises, surprises, excitement and other thoughts in my heart, and when I opened my eyes and looked around carefully, I saw that every grass, tree, and stone in front of me seemed to suddenly have life.
The whole world has been completely renewed.
What does that feel like? It's as if everything in the world is one with oneself and becomes a part of him, and he is no longer the one he was before, and all things are all things.
It turns out that it not only strengthens the body, but also makes the sense of touch more sensitive!
He was thrilled by this discovery, and at the same time couldn't help but grit his teeth: Old fox, you lied to me again!
At this point, he also understood that everything in the world has its use, and when it is used, it is right, and if it is not used properly, it is evil, it is evil, and it has nothing to do with things, it is all in the user's thoughts.
The various feelings that filled his heart made his chest turbulent, and he couldn't help but wave his hand forward, and said proudly: "Xiaobai, go out of the mountain!" ”
Xiaobai, who was pouting and brewing, was startled by his voice, and suddenly looked innocently at the owner in front of him who was behaving strangely at the moment.
Looking at Xiaobai, who looked pitiful, Qin Shen laughed, hugged it into his arms, and walked with a song, shaking the valley: "Lao Tzu is crazy when he is young, holding the wolf on the left and Huang on the right." Rags, still roll up Hiraoka ......"
……
At noon the next day, Qin Shen raised his eyes and looked above the city gate, only to realize that he had deviated hundreds of miles from Wuquan and was under Yuyang City, and the temporary blockade of the city gate also made him want to enter the city as soon as possible to change his thoughts.
Horses were placed at the gates, and dozens of soldiers were confronted with a caravan.
Seeing this situation, even if he was helpless, he could only join the crowd of onlookers and become one of them, and then quietly ask others what happened.
After being explained by passers-by, he finally knew the ins and outs of the whole thing.
The tax collector asked the caravan to pay the tax with horses, but the other party refused, and the two sides were at a stalemate.
After knowing what happened, since he was not allowed to enter the city, he also had the patience to look lively, in other words, it seemed that it was the first time for him to watch in ancient times, thinking of this, there was a little excitement in his heart.
I wonder if the process and outcome of the confrontation in ancient times are the same as those in later generations?
He listened for a while with all the curiosity in his heart, but found that what the man had said before was vague, and that the matter was not exactly as he had said, and that the caravan was unwilling to pay taxes with horses, but that it was more important than quantity.
At this time, a man who looked like a leader in the horse caravan was neither humble nor arrogant: "Li Dubo, it's not that we don't want to pay taxes or use horses to offset taxes, but on the way back, we encountered the attack of the Huns and lost hundreds of horses, and now you still ask me to pay taxes according to the original amount, even if I hand over half of the horses I brought back, it is not enough, or ......."
"Humph!" Li Dubo interrupted it with a cold snort, raised the customs clearance documents in his hand and flipped through them to show that he had a solid basis and said: "The words are all up to you, but according to the documents, there are still more than 800 horses when you pass through Pinggang, and Pinggang is three days away from here, who knows if you will sell the horses when you return to the city?" ”
"This ......" Seeing his strong words, the leader also looked helpless, and sighed lightly: "Whether the Great Wall is damaged, whether the Huns are coming, etc., you know best, and for several years, regardless of the generosity of the time, even if I am embarrassed, how can I owe more than half a cent of taxes?" Does Uncle Li still question my personality because of this? ”
"Human?" Li Dubo let out a sneer and said disdainfully: "Businessman, but you are just a mercenary, who knows if you pretended to be a gesture before?" ”
The leader was stunned by his contempt, and then smiled bitterly, "Why should I pretend? Even though I had never paid half a cent on more horses before, what did it matter if I hadn't lost a lot of money this time, and I would have paid taxes as they were, but ......"
Li Dubo interrupted first and said rudely: "In this case, then you will pay taxes according to the original amount, wouldn't it be satisfactory." ”
After a few more verbal arguments, Qin Shen fully understood what had happened, and at the same time, compared to Li Dubo's arrogant attitude, he also had to appreciate the leader's reasoned and well-founded answer, and under the tilt of the balance in his heart, he couldn't help but look at the other party carefully.
Chinese New Year's Eve, medium build, wearing a samurai uniform, although dusty, but also calm and sophisticated, not very good-looking, but the restrained eyes still reveal a wisdom tempered over the years.
But it's also a character! Qin Shen nodded secretly, and felt a little more good for him in his heart, only to hear him say again: "Uncle Li, it's not that I deliberately made it difficult, but in fact, there is a reason, so I still say that I will pay taxes according to the number of horses brought back this time, how about it?" ”
However, despite all his good words and humble avoidance, Li Dubo still said strongly: "The customs clearance documents shall prevail." ”
"No way!" Seeing that the other party had no intention of backing down, the leader seemed to be slightly annoyed.
Li Dubo sneered when he saw this, and said: "Since Brother Wu insists on this, then don't blame me for not remembering the old feelings, you are delusional to evade taxes, so why not take you down directly according to the law?" ”
It seems that the two are acquainted, but for some reason they don't give an inch. Qin Shen said secretly in his heart, and then looked at the leader, only to see that he only snorted in the face of the other party's threat and stopped speaking, while his entourage had already secretly put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
The situation is on the verge of eruption.
Seeing this situation, Qin Shen looked around and found that the people around him were just whispering, and had no intention of intervening, so he couldn't help but shake his head and stand up from the crowd, bent down and put Xiaobai on the ground, his face was straight, and he hugged his fists and said: "Everyone, please listen to the next word, and look at the ......."
"Who are you?"
Li Dubo was already dissatisfied when he saw his strange behavior at first, and when he saw that he seemed to be about to come out to say something, he looked him up and down angrily, and when he saw his appearance clearly, he sneered as if he had found the funniest thing in the world: "Runaway? How dare you be so swaggering. ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and shouted: "Take it!" ”
Qin Shen was stunned.
