Chapter 1: Donkey cart in the snow

Next Chapter

The northern country in December is not as cold as it gets, and thousands of miles of territory are covered under ice and soil, and there is an endless white world in front of you.

It was morning, and the aborigines of the northern country were all nesting on their kang heads seeking a trace of warmth, and they would not come out to move until the hottest hour or two in the afternoon.

A black donkey walked in the snowy world with a broken cart, with two long ruts trailing behind the cart.

The black donkey's eyelashes are mixed with a little ice slag, and the white mist brought up when breathing, as if telling the bad weather in the north.

There was a thin layer of straw on the cart, and there was a teenager lying on the straw, and the young man slipped out of the dry and hard snot that was already a little frozen, tightened the black and almost oily thin robe on his body, and said to the old man who was driving the car in front: "Old man, how long will it take to leave this kind of ghost place, and you don't have to be chased and killed by others when you go down, and our grandfather will freeze to death in this place first." ”

The old man sat hunched in the front of the car, his hands crossed in his sleeves for warmth, a torn cotton hat on his head, and the Taoist robe on his body was as black as the young man's, which was in stark contrast to the bright white snow beside the roadside.

Hearing the young man's words, the old man turned around and showed a row of big yellow teeth, maybe the weather in the north was too frozen to freeze his face, the old man moved the corners of his mouth but did not smile, fortunately, a row of yellow teeth gave enough face to show on his face, and he could barely make people see his smile.

"Don't be in a hurry, when you find someone in front, you will sell your property to buy a good pair of cold-resistant clothes for the apprentice, plus a full meal. ”

The old man's voice trembled like his body, and the corners of his mouth were covered with a layer of white frost when he spoke, as if he had added a handful of beard for no reason, which looked so funny.

"Come on, you, all your belongings are just this broken cart, plus a thick donkey and my hard-working apprentice, what do you have to sell, so that I can not freeze to death outside, I am already grateful to Dade. The boy rolled his eyes, turned around and found a comfortable position to curl up in the middle of the car, hoping that he would retain a trace of heat.

This old guy has said this kind of thing no less than 800 times, and the two of them have walked more than 700 miles back and forth, and they haven't even seen a village, and he really regrets running away with this old man now, it is better to guard the broken Taoist temple and wait for death, at least he doesn't have to suffer this crime.

"Zhilu, if you are cold, how about giving you this cotton hat for the teacher. ”

Without saying a word, the old man took off the torn cotton hat on his head, and put it on Lin Zhilu's head.

"Rest on, this broken hat smells so big, I'm not uncommon, master. A hint of warmth flashed in Lin Zhilu's eyes, and then he pretended to be disgusted and refused the old man's kindness.

"Apprentice, bring it, as a teacher, you are a lone apprentice, if you are stupid, it is not worth it. The old man pursed the hoarfrost from the corner of his mouth and buckled the cotton hat on Lin Zhilu's head.

"Lin Erdan, are you damn cursing me, the master has said that it is not uncommon for you to break your hat, hurry up and get out!"

Lin Zhilu stood up on the donkey cart with a "rub", grabbed the hat on his head and threw it at the old man's face.

The old man was not angry when his real name was called, he happily buckled his hat back on his head, looked back at the arrogant apprentice, and silently picked up the cold long whip.

"Smack!"

The long whip pulled out a flower in the air, and then there was a crisp sound, and the black donkey hurriedly quickened his pace, dragging the old and the young to disappear into this white world.

But it didn't take long for the black donkey to stop panting, and white smoke rose from it like an old-fashioned steam locomotive, and it was evident that in this part of the northern country, it could not bear to drag the two men for so long.

"Donkey, donkey, you have to hold on, our lives are pinned on you. The old forest head looked at the panting black donkey a little distressed, from the western prairie to this snow-capped northern country, the black donkey can be said to be indispensable.

Lin Zhilu jumped off the donkey cart, walked to the black donkey and gently stroked its neck: "You must hold on, when you get out of the northern country, I will definitely give you good forage, drink good mountain springs, and find a few beautiful female donkeys." ”

The black donkey seemed to understand Lin Zhilu's words, a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, he roared softly twice, and then pulled up the car and continued to move forward.

"I knew you kid was so good. Lin Zhilu chuckled, patted the black donkey and jumped on the donkey cart, but Lin Zhilu on the donkey cart showed deep worry.

How easy is it to get out of the northern country......

In the endless white world, the black donkey pulled the cart and drove slowly, Lin Zhilu stood on the cart and looked at everything around him, and couldn't help but feel and remembered the poems of his previous life, so he stood on the donkey cart and indulged in his voice:

"The scenery of the northern country, thousands of miles of ice, thousands of miles of snow drifting, looking at the Great Wall inside and outside the only reckless ......"

That's right, Lin Zhilu is not a person from this world, a young man who originally lived on the earth, grew up in an orphanage, and finally grew up as an adult, but he was diagnosed with a terminal illness, fortunately, there were no relatives and friends around, and no one was sad for him, and death at that time was a relief for him......

It is a great honor for him to become an orphan in this world, but fortunately, he was adopted by the old man Lin in front of him when he was young, and more than ten years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the hearts of the two have buried a strong family affection for each other.

There is an old saying in Huaxia that it is good to be born without raising a broken finger, and it is difficult to return it if you are not born and raising a broken head, although following Old Man Lin to live a hungry and full meal every day, and usually swaggering and deceiving people to chase the head of the rat, but Lin Zhilu feels that this life is really happy.

Meeting Old Man Lin may be God's compensation for his previous life, Lin Zhilu often thinks so, although this old guy is particularly unreliable.

"Good poems, good poems, not my apprentice, after reading the poem, I suddenly felt a majestic breath rushing to my face, just with this poem, I dare to assert that the apprentice will definitely have great achievements in the future!" Old Lin Tou's eyes narrowed into a line, unlike normal masters and apprentices, Old Man Lin was always the one who followed Lin Zhilu and patted his ass.

He likes this child, although he says that he doesn't know a few big words, but the apprentice is a prodigy, he can read and break words and dance when he is young, and he has a common demeanor, especially the pit and abduction, as if he was born with it, and he doesn't blink his eyes when he pit people.

The most important thing is that he has the hope of Old Man Lin's life, Old Man Lin looked at the apprentice in front of him, his eyes shone slightly.

"You know a fart, you don't know a single big word, and you still know good poetry?" Lin Zhilu looked disdainful.

This old man has no other skills, flattery is a must, and I don't know how he can get into such a field, if this old man is placed in the official mansion, Lin Zhilu feels that there is reason to believe that the old man Lin can climb to a high position just by relying on his whiskers and horses.

"It's good poetry anyway. Old man Lin bared his big yellow teeth.

"There's one thing I'm particularly curious about. Lin Zhilu walked along the edge of the cart and squatted behind the old man.

"You say, as long as the master knows, tell you. The old man bowed slightly and patted his sleeve on the snow.

"Why are those people going after you? Lin Zhilu stared at Old Man Lin carefully with a pair of dark eyes, unwilling to let go of any detail on his face.

The old man was uncomfortable being stared at, and hurriedly avoided Lin Zhilu's gaze, subconsciously rubbed his hands and replied, "It's still ...... It's not like we deceived people for fifty taels of silver last time. ”

"Oh, because fifty taels of silver chased us for nearly a thousand miles? A total of five groups of people were changed before and after, and these five groups of people chased and killed them just for fifty taels of silver? Are you and I still a child?" Lin Zhilu grabbed a handful of snowflakes that had settled on the cart, held them into snowballs with both hands, and played with them in his hands.

"Yes...... It may be that the more people chase them, the more angry they become, and they chase after them for more than a thousand miles unconsciously......" Old man Lin didn't dare to meet Lin Zhilu's gaze, a pair of eyes looked around, and his hands rubbed unconsciously.

Lin Zhilu raised the snowball in his hand and threw it into the snow curtain in the distance: "Next time you lie, don't subconsciously rub your hands, I have reminded you of your problem for so many years, but I didn't expect you to change it." ”

"Hey, pay attention next time, pay attention next time. Old man Lin snorted and hurriedly turned his back to Lin Zhilu, and he chose to remain silent about Lin Zhilu's question just now.

After the snowball left his hand, his cold hand would slowly heat up, and Lin Zhilu looked at the back of Old Man Lin while experiencing this wonderful process.

"If you don't want to answer, I can tell you about it, and you analyze whether what I said is right. After his hands were hot, he became numb, which was not a good taste, Lin Zhilu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who is chasing us is from the Flying Eagle Castle!" Lin Zhilu shook his palm, and then put his hand in his arms to cover it, after all, the next stage after his hand was numb was not a good sign.

"How do you know. Old man Lin suddenly turned his head and his eyes widened.

Seeing the old man's expression, Lin Zhilu wanted to laugh a little, this old man is like this, he can't put anything in his heart, but if he provokes it twice, he will definitely say what he thinks in his heart.

"The three obvious words of Flying Eagle Castle are embroidered on my chest, am I really blind?" Lin Zhilu felt that the old man was a little stupid.

"What if it's Eagle Castle?"

"Flying Eagle Castle is the largest sectarian force on the grassland, and there is no grievance with my Taoist Temple, and we have never provoked Flying Eagle Castle, so why did they suddenly enter the Taoist Temple just to find you Lin Erdan. Lin Zhilu looked at the old Lin Tou directly.

"How do I know. The old man pouted, feeling a little weak in his heart.

"Because you slept with the daughter-in-law of the lord of the Flying Eagle Castle. Lin Zhilu glanced at the old man.

"Fart!"

Old man Lin's cheeks instantly flushed.
