Chapter 57 Broken Monument Ditch
Sunny, blazing!
Yu Yin stopped, took off the water bladder and took a large sip of water, then handed the water bladder to Rhodes and wiped the sweat from his forehead with a cloth towel.
"This *** weather, it's really going to make people faint."
Rod took a sip of water and couldn't help but scold.
yes, it's hot!
In the early summer, it was so hot, I really don't know what it will look like when it comes to the dog days. On the side, Luo Yidao was panting, and Rogge and Leng Fei were also weak. Taking the water bladder from Rod's hand, Leng Fei took a big sip, looking a lot more energetic. Unbuttoned his poor clothes, exposed his chest, and exhaled forcefully for a turbid breath.
"Brother, the weather is so hot, why don't you find a place to rest. When it's cooler, it's better to set off on your way than to be so unbearable. ”
Yu Yin couldn't help but open his mouth to persuade, untied a water bladder from the donkey's back, and handed it to Luo Yidao's mouth.
Luo Yidao's appearance at this time was really embarrassing.
The prison clothes on his body were already soaked, and to make matters worse, with heavy wooden flails and chains, it was even harder to walk. If you are ten or twenty years younger, you may be able to bear it. After all, Luo Yidao is old, and his body bones are not too good, so he naturally works harder. It's really thanks to Yuyin and Luo Rod's support all the way, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on to it a long time ago.
Leng Fei glanced at Rogge, as if asking what Rogge meant.
Rogge is older than Leng Fei, and this solution has many years of experience, so along the way, most of the time is based on Rogge.
"I remember this road, and about three or five miles further on, there is a village.
So I went to the village to rest and eat something...... Wait until after this noon to set off, maybe it will be cooler. It's fucking weird this year, when is it? It's so hot, it's uncomfortably hot......"
Yu Yin hesitated, walked up to Luo Ge, and said softly, "Brother Luo, can you discuss something?" ”
"Xiao Yi, but it doesn't hurt to say it."
"Uncle Siliu is old, and it is quite inconvenient to walk.
Now with such a heavy shackle, there are many inconveniences...... Can you take the yoke for him so that he can speed things up? ”
"This ......"
Rogge hesitated!
This shackle and locks are the rules of solving the difference.
Rogge glanced at Luo Yidao and couldn't help frowning.
was hesitating, but felt his hand sink. When he looked down, it turned out that Yuyin had put the money in his hand. This is called 'flail money', although there are rules in the imperial court, prisoners must wear shackles, but in fact, when operating, it is not so strict. Luo Siliu is not the kind of vicious murderer, he is old, not to mention that he is still a villager with Luo Ge Leng Fei.
Rogge thought about it, then untied the key from his waist and handed it to Leng Fei.
"Xiao Yi is really a man of temperament, so ...... opened this flail, which can be regarded as a fate. However, the shackles can be opened, the lock cannot be unlocked, and I ask Xiao Yi to forgive me. After all, this rule is a rule, if you don't have shackles, I'm afraid that it will cause more trouble.
In this way, Uncle Siliu is also an acquaintance, if it is really hard, he will ride a donkey to avoid delaying the trip. ”
Rogge did this, which can be regarded as giving Yu Yin enough face.
Since ancient times, how can there be a precedent for a prisoner to ride a donkey? It's just taking people's money and eliminating disasters with others...... In addition, Luo Siliu and Luo Ge also know each other, so it is so convenient. Leng Fei stepped forward to open the flail for Luo Siliu, and Rod was busy thanking him. The five of them set off again, and Luo Siliu, who had taken the flail, also seemed a lot easier, and the speed was much faster.
It was almost noon when the group arrived at the village that Rogge had mentioned.
It's just the scenery in front of them that surprised Yuyin and Rogge...... I saw a ruined wall, where is there still a village? Walking into the village, I didn't see a single figure for a long time, it was cold and lonely, like a dead place, which made people palpitate.
"What's going on?"
Rogge's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak for a while.
Leng Fei hesitated for a moment, and said softly: "When did my brother come here last time?" ”
"This ...... Almost two years ago. ”
Two years!
Yu Yin couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"It looks like something happened here, and it's in ruins." Rogge scratched his head, looking a little embarrassed. He didn't know what was going on, but it was really real, and he lost face. After thinking about it, Luo Ge said: "I remember that there is a Dragon King Temple at the entrance of the village, but it really can't be done, how about we go to the Dragon King Temple to rest?" ”
"I did as my brother said."
This place, named Broken Monument Ditch, is theoretically under the jurisdiction of Heyin. However, because it is close to Xingyang and borders Xingze, it has become a three-way zone. The area of the broken stele ditch is not too large, and according to Rogge, there were dozens of families living here at the beginning. God knows what happened to turn the huge village into ruins. Yu Yin motioned for Rod to help Luo with a knife, he carried a whistle stick, and walked in front with Leng Fei to open the way. Rogge, on the other hand, held a steel knife and led the donkey to press the formation behind, and the five of them walked all the way through the ruins to the entrance of the village. In the distance, I saw the Dragon King Temple.
The gray gables are mottled with years.
"Xiao Yi, what's the matter?"
Yu Yin suddenly stopped, attracting Leng Fei's attention.
He didn't answer immediately, but looked around for a long time. Yu Yin shook his head and said softly, "Somehow, I always feel like someone is watching us." ”
"Anyone?"
Leng Fei shuddered and looked around.
I saw that beyond the ruins and broken walls, there was a barren grass more than half a person high. There is not even a human figure in this hellish place, where is there anyone staring? Unless...... Leng Fei's face turned white all of a sudden!
"Xiao Yi, don't scare me, is there anything unclean?"
"Huh?"
Yu Yin was stunned, and even though he understood what Leng Fei was talking about, he couldn't help laughing and shook his head again and again.
"My brother misunderstood, it's not something unclean, it's just ...... Somewhat uncomfortable. ”
The so-called unclean thing is the ghost spirit. This place is so desolate, and a good village is in ruins, which will inevitably make Leng Fei have messy thoughts. In recent years, there have been a lot of strange forces and confusion, and it seems that Leng Fei is even more convinced of these things. Being in this desolation naturally made him feel terrified.
After listening to Yu Yin's explanation, Leng Fei breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Yi, you make it clear in the future, my brother is timid and can't be frightened."
Yu Yin listened to this, and his smile was even bigger.
It's just that there was a cold glint in those eyes.
The feeling of being watched before was real, and it was not his imagination. According to An Daoquan and Yan Nu, after practicing martial arts to the second level of kung fu, the six senses are sensitive, and if there is danger, there will be a feeling of hair.
In ancient times, it was said that a certain general was powerful, and it was often said that 'the eyes see the six roads, and the ears listen to the eight directions'.
Its nature is not much different, and the six senses of people who practice martial arts are far beyond the ability of ordinary people to compare.
Just now, Yu Yin really gave birth to a hairy feeling......
The Dragon King Temple is not very large, that is, more than 200 square meters.
In the center is a statue of a dragon king, but the dragon's head is gone, and only half of the body remains. The walls of the temple also collapsed to the point that they looked even more dilapidated. Walking into the Dragon King Temple, Yu Yin glanced around, then swept out an open space with Leng Fei, pulled the offering table of the Dragon King Temple aside, and then called Luo Yidao and others to come in and rest.
In this temple, the dust on the ground is very thick, and there are cobwebs hanging in the corners.
Yu Yin found a well behind the temple and found that the well water inside was quite clear and sweet. When he came back with water from the well, Rhodes had already lit a fire and was ready to cook. Yu Yin sat next to Luo Siliu, without saying a word, with a solemn expression.
"Xiao Yi, what happened?"
"Uncle Four-Six, I always feel that something is not quite right."
"Oh?"
"I can't say why, anyway, I don't think it's good, it seems that something is going to happen...... After a while, the weather is a little cooler, so let's hit the road. If I stay too long, I'm worried that something will happen and I won't be in danger. ”
"Well, that's fine."
Luo Siliu was very tired, leaned on the leg of the offering table, and soon felt sleepy.
Rogge and Leng Fei were sitting next to them, looking a little tired...... On such a hot day, after a long noon journey, even if the two of them were on the road, they were a little unbearable. But there is no other way, it is this hard work, even if it is hard, you have to do it. Therefore, the two of them hurried more and wanted to rest.
The weather in early summer can be unpredictable.
The sun was still shining at noon, but just after noon, I saw two dark clouds floating in the sky.
Suddenly, a strong wind arose, and the wind and sand swept up all over the sky...... Yu Yin didn't rest, standing at the door of the Dragon King Temple, looking out.
"It looks like it's going to rain!"
"Yes, this rain is going to be cooler for a few days."
Rogge and Leng Fei also sensed the change in the weather, walked up to Yu Yin, and talked in a low voice.
As he was talking, he suddenly heard a muffled thunderclap. Immediately after, a bright silver snake streaked across the sky, as if it was about to tear the sky.
"It seems, but I can't go!"
Rogge frowned, but there was a bit of smugness in his words, "Fortunately, we have landed, otherwise if we continue to hurry, we will inevitably encounter this heavy rain." However, after this rain, I can't say that it will be more comfortable in the next two days. ”
Leng Fei smiled: "It's still my brother who has insight." ”
He turned his head and saw Yu Yin's solemn face, so he patted Yu Yin on the shoulder and said, "Xiao Yi, don't worry...... We walked smoothly in the past two days, faster than the scheduled trip. After the rain has passed, we will run to Biankou again, and after crossing the river, we will enter the rule of Huaizhou. According to today's itinerary, it will not take 20 days to arrive in Taiyuan Mansion. ”
When Yu Yin heard this, he only laughed.
Click!
Another muffled thunder!
Immediately after, a heavy rain fell, enveloping the heavens and the earth in a curtain of water.
Yu Yin frowned, standing on the steps outside the temple gate with his hands in his hands, but the uneasy feeling in his heart became stronger and stronger.
"Brother Xiaoyi, why are you so nervous?"
After Rod finished cooking, he walked over to Yuyin and asked softly.
Yu Yin glanced back at Luo Ge and Leng Fei, who were squatting around the bonfire and gobbling up, and said in a low voice: "I don't know why, I'm always a little uneasy, as if something is going to happen." Take care of Uncle Siliu for a while and be vigilant. ”
As he spoke, he shoved the whistle stick into Rod's hand.
Then he turned around and walked to the campfire, filled a bowl of porridge, sat down next to the shrine, and ate silently. (To be continued)
