Chapter 118: Cheetah Lux
Finally, I could hope that the next day, Fleur could no longer stay alone on the rooftop.
She put on a hat to cover her face, and chose a mountain road to the west, passing through the Lingdu Temple and walking all the way down. When she approached the Lingdu Temple, she unexpectedly found that in front of a small courtyard on the east side of the Lingdu Temple, there was already a long line of people, who looked like the local people had come to the Lingdu Temple early in the morning to seek medical advice.
Furong was worried that she would run into someone, and she opened her mouth with a Chang'an accent, which could easily attract the attention and curiosity of others to her, which might cause unnecessary trouble for herself, so she didn't dare to get too close to Lingduguan, and turned around and chose a fork in the road next to her to walk down the mountain. She tried to find a place for herself to settle in the village at the foot of the mountain.
The mountain fork was winding and narrow, and the road was lined with bushes that obscured the view, making it impossible for Fleur to discern where it led down the mountain.
From time to time, the curtain hat on Fleur's head was hooked by the wattles and branches that stretched out to the middle of the road, and in a short time, two slender openings were drawn. In desperation, she had to take the hat off her head and hold it in her hand, while her other hand kept pulling out the branches that stood in front of her.
Fortunately, not far after walking out, Fleur heard a faint human voice from the direction of the mountain, and she was in good spirits, quickened her pace, and walked down the mountain.
However, when she turned a corner and saw a relatively flat clearing in front of her, she couldn't help but be stunned by the scene in the clearing. I saw that the two leopards were biting together in the clearing, and from time to time they let out one or two terrifying roars.
Fleur instinctively turned around and wanted to run back, but before she had run a few steps, she heard a scream behind her, and then a voice shouted at her: "Don't be afraid, Dao Chief, this animal has been strangled to death by me." ”
Fleur hesitated and turned her head, and sure enough, she saw a dead leopard lying motionless in the clearing, and next to the leopard stood a strong descendant wearing a tiger skin coat, who was only sixteen or seventeen years old, and when he spoke, he showed two rows of white and neat teeth, which made people feel very kind, natural, and full of vitality. Furong grew up in the mansion of the official eunuch in Chang'an City since she was a child, and later married into the East Palace with the young lady of the master's family, and she was accustomed to seeing a young man in brocade clothes, and rarely saw such a mountain boy as the posterity in front of her, and was surprised that he could strangle the fierce leopard to death with just one hand, and was worried that he would recognize him as a strange outsider and ask about his origin.
Subconsciously, Fleur put the curtain hat back on her head, stood in place, recited the trumpet in her mouth, and asked the descendant: "Poor Dao dares to ask this son, are you a hunter living in the village under the mountain?" I don't know what the name of the village under the mountain is, but it's good to go down the mountain and go into the village to beg for water. ”
The latter didn't notice the unusual behavior of Fleur putting on the hat again, raised one foot, kicked the leopard who had just been strangled to death by him, confirmed that it was dead, then bent down and grabbed the leopard's two front legs, and lifted the leopard, which weighed more than two hundred pounds, and carried it on his shoulder, and then he gestured to Fleur and said, "From here, less than two or three miles away, it is Songtai Village." Come with me, the Taoist chief. ”
Fleur was amazed by the innate divine power of the later life, and followed him from a distance, walking down the mountain, while cautiously accosting him: "May I ask the son's surname?" Childe is so brave at a young age, he must not be a mortal, right? ”
"Don't call me a son, I'm the same as you, I'm also a foreigner who just came to Songtai Village to settle down, the name is Jiangzhong Shi, you can just call me Xiaoshi." The latter carried a leopard on his shoulder, and he was still full of breath when he spoke, and he didn't hear the slightest sound of panting.
Fleur first heard him say that he was not a local, and his heart tightened, and then he heard him say that he was also a foreigner who had only arrived here for a short time, and his heart was relieved, and then, he couldn't help but secretly think: he was hiding alone on the top of the mountain forest infested with fierce beasts, and if there was such a warrior by his side, wouldn't he have to be afraid all day long?
With the idea of taking Jiang Zhongshi by his side and using it for himself, Furong deliberately inquired about his life experience. At this time, a drizzle of cow hair fell from the sky, and the mountains and forests became foggy. Furong looked back and saw a small thatched hut under an old poplar tree in the open space where Fang Zhongshi strangled the leopard to death, so she shouted at Jiang Zhongshi: "Little stone, I see that there is a shack in the open space over there, why don't we go back and take shelter from the rain for the time being." ”
Jiang Zhongshi stopped, turned around and walked towards the clearing, and replied casually: "That is the shack I built, what can't I do." If it weren't for the fact that I wanted to go back to the village and give this animal to the village to satisfy my hunger, I wouldn't have been reluctant to go down the mountain. ”
Jiang Zhongshi passed by Fleur's side, and through a layer of green veil, Fleur saw the head of the dead leopard hanging down from his shoulder at close range, and still couldn't help but feel frightened, and hurriedly opened the distance between the two, and asked him: "You, do you live here all day?" Is it for hunting? ”
"I, not long after I came to settle here, I found that there was a man-eating monster on this mountain, and the ordinary tiger, leopard and jackal were not its opponents at all. I set up a shack in this open space in the middle of the mountain, and I just waited for it to reappear again, so that I could meet it for a while. As soon as Jiang Zhong Shi talked about the monster, his voice couldn't hide his excitement.
"Hey, little stone, did your parents give you this name? Where are you from? At such a young age, why did you come here to settle down? "Furong saw many rare birds and beasts from various countries in the beast control park on the outskirts of Chang'an City, and she didn't believe what Jiang Zhongshi said about any man-eating monsters in this mountain, so she took the opportunity to inquire about his life experience.
"I don't remember what my parents looked like." As soon as he mentioned his parents, Jiang Zhongshi's expression showed a little loneliness, "Dao Chief, don't ask so much." Anyway, I didn't mean to settle down in Songtai Village."
While speaking, the two of them had come to the shack, Jiang Zhongshi threw the dead leopard on his shoulder to the ground, and the cat waist went to the shack and took a coat made of thorn strips and draped it on his body, and said to Furong Qian: "There can only be one person in this shack, Dao Chief, you go in quickly." I just have this cloak to keep out the rain. (To be continued.) )
