Chapter 7 Revisiting the Old Place
Zhao Chen once again stepped into the jungle of the Qinling Mountains, a familiar scene, a familiar taste, but the mood was very different.
Last time, he desperately wanted to get out of Qinling, but this time he wanted to stay in Qinling forever, and it was best to hide away from Li Er and the others for the rest of his life, if there were no thousand Tang Dynasty soldiers behind him.
The treasury was empty, and Li Er was eager to mine gold and fill the treasury, so after another confirmation, Li Er sent people from the household department and the general as a supervisor, and Qin Qiong led a thousand Tang Dynasty soldiers to rush into the Qinling Mountains.
Qin Qiong. As soon as he thought of Qin Qiong's name, Zhao Chen's mind would involuntarily appear in the biography of the heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, wearing Yan Ling armor, holding a double hammer, and a red rabbit horse in his crotch, beating the second brother of Qin, who was invincible in Shandong.
It's a pity that Qin Qiong in front of him is more like a middle-aged uncle next door, if it weren't for the burly body, the light that occasionally shifted his gaze, and the essence that was revealed from it, Zhao Chen was very suspicious, is this Qin Qiong the other Qin Qiong?
Of course, whether the person in front of him is Qin Qiong, or whether it is Qin Shubao, who took the top rank of the general in the army in the battlefield back then.
Since coming to Datang and experiencing a series of encounters, Zhao Chen has lost his original curiosity about these people.
I can't afford to provoke, can't I still hide?
"Boy, how far is it?" During the lunch break, Qin Qiong, who was wearing dozens of catties of armor, came to Zhao Chen's resting place and asked with a frown.
The jungle is full of foliage, and the ground is thick with rotten leaves, and stepping on one foot is like stepping on a pile of cotton, and the whole person will lose his balance, and this situation is naturally not possible to ride a horse.
"It's not far away, I guess we can get there before dark!" Zhao Chen sat on the ground, slowly chewing the boiled egg that Hu Lulin brought him before he came, and said with interest.
Although Hu Lu fled very unjustly that day, this did not prevent Zhao Chen from having a good impression of Hu Lu, perhaps because Hu Lu was a rare person who made him feel a little human touch after he came to Datang!
No matter what the purpose of Hu Lu is!
So before leaving, Zhao Chen generously gave Hu Lu a jar of good tea, as for whether he would be ruined by that bastard, it didn't matter to Zhao Chen.
"I heard that you put Li Jing's old boy with Your Majesty?" Uncle Qin has a ** to talk about, and when he said this, Zhao Chen clearly noticed the schadenfreude in Uncle Qin's eyes.
That's right! The ringing horse that came out of Wagang didn't have a good thing, what kind of uncle next door! Don't be afraid of being tired and panicking!
"You have wronged the boy, the boy also heard the master talk about General Li that day, so he mentioned it cheaply, and he almost lost this little life before he thought about it!" Zhao Chen remembered Li Jing's murderous appearance that day, and his chest reflexively hurt, bastard, this kick will have to be returned sooner or later.
"Yes, I heard that it was you kid who listened to the three heroes of the wind and dust of the commander, how did you say it to relieve your boredom!" Uncle Qin watched Zhao Chen peel an egg, naturally took it, stuffed it into his mouth with one mouth, and said vaguely.
Ringing horses! Zhao Chen wailed in his heart, looking at Uncle Qin's uncomfortable appearance of choking on eggs, he quickly unscrewed the thermos cup and handed it over, but for Uncle Qin's bewitching words, he shook his head vigorously, and made up his mind not to make any more mistakes.
"It's boring!" Uncle Qin took a sip of the warm tea in the thermos cup, probably very satisfied with the astringency of the ripe tea, and showed a satisfied look on his face. However, then I saw Zhao Chen shaking his head desperately, snorting very boringly, and walking away with the cup with an indifferent face.
I knew that it would be like this, what was in the hands of Hibiki, and you could still expect it to come back? didn't get the end, was black-faced, grabbed by the neck and collar, and had to pay for your life, you said you don't want it?
So! In general, if it is not necessary, don't worry about the gains and losses with these ringing horses! With that kind of spare time, it is better to eat an extra hard-boiled egg, which is down-to-earth!
When the sun was about to set, a team of thousands of people finally came to the spring where Zhao Chen found the gold mine that day. There are still traces of Zhao Chen's stay next to the spring that day, except for some messy beast hoof prints, it seems that Zhao Chen is not the only one who has visited here in the past few days.
Uncle Qin ordered to go down, and more than a thousand strong soldiers immediately took the spring water as the origin and set up camp around.
Zhao Chen suspected that there was a dark river under this spring, so after the camp tents were all set up, he said to Qin Qiong, and a few soldiers came over and began to dig.
A team of thousands of people is stationed in the wilderness, and there must be sufficient water sources, as long as this dark river is dug out, it is enough for thousands of people to eat, drink and wash on weekdays.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for a dark river to be dug out below, and the bucket-thick column of water erupted with a 'bang' at the moment of digging, and several soldiers who were digging were slanted into a crooked manner.
There are ready-made craftsmen in the team, Zhao Chen roughly said, those craftsmen cut the wood, quarry, and after a while, they circled the dug dark river.
After the turbid water inside gradually settled down and became clear, Uncle Qin scooped a bowl of water from it, tasted it, and nodded with great satisfaction.
The problem of water was solved, Zhao Chen was still there to ask the craftsmen to cut wood and quarry, Uncle Qin looked strange, frowned and came to Zhao Chen, who was helping to scrape the bark, and asked suspiciously.
"Boy, what are you still logging?"
"Build a house!" Zhao Chen straightened his waist, wiped the sweat on his forehead, looked at Uncle Qin with a wink, and said as a matter of course.
The jungle is damp at night, and the ground is thick rotten leaves, if you just sleep on the ground, it is estimated that you can't stand up the next day, this is still light, if it goes on like this, I'm afraid it will be a wet tide.
Lao Qin's cheeks twitched vigorously, obviously feeling great resentment at Zhao Chen's shameless behavior of fake public welfare, but it was rare, Lao Qin just let out a light snort in his nose and turned away.
Since the camp is settled here, then it is necessary to clean up the beasts around it, Lao Qin doesn't want his soldiers to not die in the hands of the enemy, but in the end they are inexplicably folded in the mouth of the beasts.
Thousands of Tang Dynasty soldiers went out to hunt together, what kind of spectacular scene would it be, Zhao Chen didn't know, he only knew that since Lao Qin's order, thousands of soldiers rushed into the jungle with a roar, and the roar of the beast in his ears never stopped.
The poor beasts, on weekdays, just scare the weaker animals and declare their poor self-esteem, now it's okay, in the face of the thousand screaming killers, the rest of them are reduced to the soul of the sword.
Zhao Chen didn't bother to care about the life or death of those beasts, he was now preoccupied with the cabin. The craftsmen sent by Li Er are undoubtedly the best, and often as long as Zhao Chen speaks his thoughts, those craftsmen will draw inferences from each other, and they will make better than Zhao Chen imagined.
As the saying goes, everyone gathers firewood and the flame is high, and a large group of craftsmen surrounds a small wooden house, and it takes a short time for a suspended wooden house to be built.
Zhao Chen is very happy! The craftsman is also delighted! Lao Qin was also very happy, so after seeing that Lao Qin was very happy, Zhao Chen's face darkened.
"Nice kid!" Sure enough, Lao Qin stepped on the wooden ladder, looked inside and out, and finally stood on the wooden ladder of the wooden cabin with satisfaction, patted the handrail of the wooden ladder with his hand, and said very domineeringly: "This belongs to the old man!" ”
Zhao Chen chose forbearance very sensibly, ringing horses! What can you tell him?
Zhao Chen, who was psychologically injured, had no choice but to turn his grief and anger into strength, and followed a group of craftsmen to continue the ranks of building wooden houses.
Just before the sun went down, a hanging log cabin was built. Looking at the remaining leftovers, Zhao Chen asked the craftsmen to make a few high-backed chairs, a bed, and a table.
Spread the bedding roll onto the bed, move the chairs and tables into the cabin, look at the simple furnishings, but a little warm cabin, and finally show a smile on the face that has been calm all along.
Not bad! Zhao Chen is already planning to live here for a long time, far away from Li Er, and concentrate on mining Li Er, I don't believe that anyone else has gone to this deep mountain to find trouble for himself!
It's a pity that as soon as this idea appeared, Lao Qin walked in leisurely, followed by Lao Qin's angry questioning.
"Why aren't there any of these old men?"
"Move out!" Zhao Chen didn't bother to look at Lao Qin Xiangma's face, didn't he just want to rob! Why put on such an angry posture, and don't be afraid of being tired.
Lao Qin really had a very shameless way to empty Zhao Chen's cabin, and Zhao Chen stood in the empty cabin with grief and anger, angry and unbearable. I can't live this day at all, and I think everything will be fine if I avoid Li Er, but who knows that there is an old horse here who wants to rob him from time to time.
The little carpenter named He San, carrying the household items that had been re-made for Zhao Chen, walked into the cabin, looked at Zhao Chen, who was still sad and indignant in the cabin, and couldn't help but shake his head secretly.
This little Langjun is full of whimsical ideas, why can't he understand the truth in this? Qin Gong, what kind of character is that, as long as you open your mouth, you can't get anything, you have to grab things from you, a junior?
He San hoped that Duke Qin could rob him, how long did this matter get out, and he was robbed by a dignified grandfather!
Zhao Chen naturally didn't understand He San's thoughts, if he knew this masochistic thought in He San's heart, it was estimated that he would kick He San's slut's heart to death on the spot.
"He San, make a bed for each camp tent in this way, you don't need to be too particular, it's sturdy!" Being angry is not good for the liver, Zhao Chen took a breath and decided not to think about these things anymore, just saw He San standing in front of him sneakily, so he commanded He San.
Can't be selfish just thinking about himself, for a long time in the future, Zhao Chen will still rely on these people, so Zhao Chen doesn't want to wake up tomorrow morning, these people are all like prodigals who have worked hard all night, and they can't get up with a sore back.
