Chapter 0016: Zhang Qiang and Zhang Guang
"Who are you?" Uncle Zhong asked nervously. He looked at these two men, who were tall and stout, and had weapons in their hands, and they had come out of the grass, and he naturally regarded these two men as robbers.
"Uncle Zhong, all the guests who come are guests." Guo Jia said with a smile, "These two big brothers must be hunters in the mountains. ”
Facing Uncle Zhong's questioning, these two people didn't know how to say their identities for a while, and when they heard Guo Jia say this, they immediately took the opportunity to say: "Yes, the two of us are the hunters in the mountains." ”
"My name is Zhang Qiang, and he is my younger brother Zhang Guang. Our two brothers are both hunters of this Eagle Gully. The black-faced man immediately said, "We were hunting in the mountains, and before we knew it, it was getting late, and we got lost for a while, and we came here along the stream, and we just smelled the aroma of barbecue, and we couldn't help but run out for a while." Disturbed the three. Zhang Qiang can't compensate the three here. ”
"Where do you have so many rules when you go out. What to make amends for sins and not to make amends. There is meat to eat and wine to drink. Lin Wuwu said with a smile, "Anyway, we can't finish eating." ”
"We have prey too." Zhang Qiang immediately said, and as he spoke, he had already run back into the grass, and after a while, he took out two grouses, three rabbits, and a roe deer and put them in front of Lin Wuwu.
Zhang Guang looked at Lin Wuyu with a smile on his face and said, "This is what our two brothers have gained in the forest today, but it's a pity that our skills are not as powerful as this little brother, so these things are handed over to you, little brother." ”
"Wine and meat and night are very good." Guo Jia couldn't help but say, "Don't worry, I'll leave these things to you." ”
The two grouses were made into flower chickens by Lin Wuwu, the roe deer was also roasted and served, and the three rabbits naturally became a delicacy. The food was plentiful and delicious, and the wine they brought was not a good one, but it was better than nothing.
When you have eaten and drunk enough, there is still a surplus on the floor.
"This food is wasted, so let's take it home and give it to the children." Zhang Qiang couldn't eat it, but he couldn't bear to eat these delicacies, so he couldn't help but ask for a while.
"You brought all the prey, so you can take them away." Lin Wuwu said.
As he spoke, he had already handed the two of them banana leaves. In a short time, these leftover delicacies were packed in banana leaves.
After watching the two brothers leave with the packaged food, Guo Jia also became sober from the drunkenness he had just started, and he looked up at the direction where the two brothers were far away in the night, and the light in his eyes was so unfathomable.
"The two brothers must be spies of the Yellow Turban Army hiding in the mountains and forests." Lin Wuwu said, "Ordinary hunters, even if they have calluses on the tiger's mouth, they won't have so many weapon scars on their bodies, especially the black-faced man named Zhang Qiang, the scar on his chest is obviously a scar, and it was a recent injury." ”
Guo Jia opened his mouth and said: "Don't worry, you go and follow these two people, if you can find the nest of the remnants of the Yellow Turban hiding in Yinggou Ridge through these two people, it will be much easier to suppress the bandits." ”
Lin Wuwu glanced at Guo Jia and asked, "Fengxiao, are you an official of the imperial court?" ”
"It's not." Guo Jia was stunned for a moment, and then said.
"The court gave you money?" Lin Wuwu asked again.
Guo Jia said: "I don't have an official position, how can I have a good fortune." ”
"Then what are you worried about for the court? Besides, I just got along with the two brothers, and I don't think these two brothers are bad people. Lin Wuwu said, "If there is still a way to live, who is willing to go up the mountain to be a bandit?" ”
When Guo Jia heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then said: "I heard that the bandits in this Yinggou Ridge are rampant, killing caravans and families that come and go. If we can help the court eradicate these bandits, it will also be a harm to the people. ”
"They are also people, a group of people who have been forced to go up the mountains and fall into the grass. Harsh government is fiercer than a tiger. Lin Wuwu looked at Guo Jia and said, "Feng Xiaodang knows, why did these people rise up?" If they were villains, they would have tied you up and me a long time ago. ”
Guo Jia sighed, and then said: "That's it, if you are not in your position, you will not seek politics." ”
The night was uneventful, and when the morning came, Lin Wuwu proposed to pass the Yinggou Ridge before having breakfast, and immediately got Guo Jia's consent.
After passing the Yinggou Ridge, the carriage paused, and when I looked back, I saw that the mountains were majestic, the trees were thick, and the roads were narrow, which was really a good place to set up an ambush. Such a dangerous place, if it can be used well, can withstand an army of 100,000.
"Don't worry, the terrain here is dangerous, and it is not far from Luoyang, if you can build a military fortress here, you will definitely be able to ensure the safety of Luoyang." Guo Jia couldn't help but say.
Lin Wuwu said: "In this way, those Yellow Turban bandits chose to inhabit here, and they should be very discerning. It seems that there are capable people among them. ”
Guo Jia smiled, he said: "If you have the opportunity, it is also a happy life to be able to compete with this person." ”
"Let's go, we haven't had breakfast yet, we need to find a place with water and cook breakfast." Lin Wuwu also smiled.
It was not difficult to find a place with water, and soon they found a place with an open terrain and a stream flowing through. When they had finished making breakfast and were about to eat, they heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance. The first person to discover the sound of horses' hooves was Lin Wuwu, whose ears were much sharper than Guo Jia's.
"Fengxiao, there is a very rapid sound of horses' hooves." Lin Wuwu put down the bamboo tube in his hand, looked at Guo Jia who was sitting on the big bluestone reading a book very seriously and said, "It's not just the sound of a horse's hooves. ”
Guo Jia immediately put away the book in his hand, he knew what Lin Wuwu meant. In this place where there is no village in front of the village and no shop behind, there is a lot of horses' hooves, which is not necessarily a good thing.
"Fengxiao, Uncle Zhong, come with me." Lin Wuwu raised his eyes and looked around, and finally found a place with dense water and grass, and he said to Guo Jia and them immediately. He led them to the weeds and hid them before he returned to the campfire and continued to make his bamboo tube charcoal-roasted fish.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Lin Wuwu to see a group of people riding horses, these people were not uniformly dressed, and the horses they rode were uneven, the only thing that was the same was that these people's bodies looked very strong, and they were all strong men in their early twenties and thirties. There was also a yellow turban tied around their heads.
It can be seen that these people should be regarded as the legendary Yellow Turban Army. It was the first time that Lin Wuwu had such close contact with the Yellow Turban Army.
