Chapter 32 Exploring Qinglong Village
"How did you get into that outpost? People who are not from Qinglong Village can't get in. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ma Bao asked as he chewed on the pancakes.
After taking a sip of water, Niu Huan said, "When you get there, let's talk about it depending on the situation......
On the water in the gourd, the two chewed the pancakes and ate their stomachs, and then they stood up, used a wooden stick to pierce the prey on the ground, and walked to the first pass of the five major whistles, Baolong Pass, the five major whistles in Qinglongzhai and some previous bandits under the management, has built five wood and stone material checkpoints, named Baolong Pass, Hulong Pass, Zhenlong Pass, Dinglong Pass, Xinglong Pass, one is more tightly defended than the other, the officers and soldiers of Ji'an Mansion have been defeated several times.
"Stop, who are you? What are you doing here? The little minions guarding the pass stood on the wall, and when they saw two mountain people dressed as hunters approaching the checkpoint, they shouted.
"Ladies and gentlemen, the younger two are hunters, and they have just hunted a little game, and they want to sell it to the kings for some rice." Niu Huan smiled and spoke, carrying wild things to the level.
"Stop where you are, take one more step and shoot an arrow." The minions on the shut-off said loudly. Niu Huan heard this and didn't dare to go any further.
After a while, the big wooden door of the checkpoint "creaked" open, and more than a dozen minions came out with a black-faced strong man in his twenties
More than a dozen minions, some with knives and some with spears, followed him indiscriminately.
"Where are you from?" The strong man looked at Niu Huan and Ma Bao and asked.
"The king, the two younger ones are the hunters of Longquan County." Niu Huan hurriedly said with a smile.
Listening to Niu Huan's accent, the strong man's face turned a little pale, and he said: "You two are so bold, you dare to come here to sell things, aren't you afraid of being killed by us?" ”
"King, it's not that we are bold, but the family is waiting for the rice to go to the pot, so we have to be brave enough to come and try it." Niu Huan said.
"What do you mean by that?" The strong man's face sank.
Seeing this, Niu Huan hurriedly accompanied him and said carefully: "Wang, last time we hunted some game and went to Longquan County to sell it. After speaking, he pointed to Ma Bao beside him.
"Yes, we hunted a little more prey that time, and I was going to buy rice and sell some wine to go back, but it turned out to be ......," Ma Bao said with a sad face.
When it came to wine, a few minions couldn't help but swallow their saliva. Unless the general village agrees or the New Year's Festival, the rest of the time, the minions guarding the checkpoint are strictly forbidden to drink.
"It'......s a shame to look at your little bit of prowess, and it's a shame to talk about wine like this," the strong man reprimanded.
A few minions said: "Brother Wang, don't you know, our Baolongguan guards are the hardest, the entire Qinglong Village, we are the closest to the county, a few years ago, the officers and soldiers came to attack Qinglongzhai, and our Baolongguan guards were the most killed and injured, but some time ago, we didn't have any wine and meat, which is really unfair." ”
Hearing this, one of the minions said: "This can't be blamed on the general village, who told us not to participate in the operation, I heard that this operation was a complete victory, killing several people who were holding goods, and capturing more than ten of them." ”
"Shut up! ......" The strong man scolded sharply, and then glanced at Niu Huan and Ma Bao.
Niu Huan and Ma Bao listened, quickly glanced at each other, and then pretended not to pay attention.
The strong man looked at the prey that the two of them were carrying, and said, "How much do you two want for this thing?" ”
"Your Majesty, will you look at it?" Niu Huan said with a smile.
After thinking about it, the strong man said, "Give you three hundred dollars." As he spoke, he took out a small piece of broken silver, threw it to Niu Huan, and then asked the little minions to carry the prey into the customs regardless of whether he agreed or not.
Looking at the heavy wooden door that was bolted again, Niu Huan and Ma Bao had to pretend to be unhappy and leave.
When they walked to a place where they couldn't see Baolong Pass, the two of them became happy.
"Niu Huan, it seems that this thing was done by Qinglongzhai, this mission is completed, and we will be the team leaders when we go back......" Ma Baomei said with a smile.
"Yes, I will also have a squadron leader ...... future," Niu Huan also said happily.
Ma Bao said disdainfully: "you, the squad leader wants to be the squadron leader before he becomes the squadron leader, your kid is not ambitious." Besides, you don't want to think about it, there are only a few squadron leaders in the whole brigade, you dare to think about it. ”
"You wait, when I become the squadron leader, I will let your kid be my protector and lick my stinky feet for Lao Tzu every day...... Hahahaha......" Niu laughed and ran away.
"It's beautiful, let's wait until you become the squadron leader......" Ma Bao said to himself.
Niu Huan and Ma Bao walked briskly, wanting to rush back as soon as possible to report the situation to the captain, the two of them walked thirsty and tired, so they sat down to rest, at this time, a big bear appeared in the distance, the two of them were startled, the bear was very large, the appearance of the fierce, Ma Bao hurriedly drew his bow and arrow, the bear slowly approached the two, and the two of them confronted each other.
After a while, a roar of "whoop", the big bear rushed towards the two of them, Ma Bao shot an arrow, probably panicked, did not shoot, the arrow grazed the bear's scalp and flew over, this time, the bear is ferocious, his eyes are red, and his mouth keeps roaring "whoop", rushed over to Ma Bao, rushed to the position of Ma Bao, swept towards him with a slight wave of a pair of bear paws, Ma Bao's body shrank, and hurriedly hid behind a tree, "pop" a huge shock, the trunk was not thick, and Ma Bao's frightened soul was scattered, Hurriedly ran to many places in the tree.
The big bear chased after him with a huge palm, and the branches and leaves of the hit along the way flew. A man and a bear chased back and forth. Running and running to a steep slope, there were large thorns below, and seeing that the bear was approaching, Ma Bao pulled a sleeve to cover his face and rolled down.
Chased to the steep slope, the bear man stood up, looked at the bottom of the steep slope, maybe he saw too many thorns too dense and did not want to go down, maybe he couldn't see the person it chased, in short, I saw it "roar" loudly, turned around and swayed its fat and strong body away.
Seeing that the big bear was walking away, Niu Huan slid down from a tree and followed the imprints to find Niu Huan. Just now he saw the opportunity early, and saw a tree nearby, so when the bear rushed towards Mabao, he quickly climbed the tree, the bear may be angry that Mabao shot it with an arrow, so he didn't care about anything else, just chased Mabao.
Following the imprint to find the steep slope, looking at the dense thorns under the steep slope and a mark rolled out by people, Niu Huan's heart was cold, and he turned left and right to finally bypass the thorn forest and go down the steep slope.
He said in a loud voice: "Ma Bao, Ma Bao, where are you kid?" ”
"Don't scream, Lao Tzu is here, not dead, oops, it hurts Lao Tzu......" Ma Bao groaned behind a bush.
Niu Huan followed the sound and looked over, and couldn't help giggling, this Ma Bao's appearance was really funny, miserable and embarrassed, I saw that one of his faces was scratched by thorns and a horizontal and vertical wound, his clothes were torn to pieces, the flesh on his thighs was exposed, one arm was scratched by thorns and the flesh was blurred, and Ma Bao's pain was twitching at the corner of his mouth.
"You kid is still laughing, if it weren't for Lao Tzu to lead the old bear away, your kid would have died, you are still embarrassed to laugh at Lao Tzu......" Ma Bao said and took a hiss.
After sitting for a while, drinking some water, and eating another piece of pancake, Ma Bao seemed to feel the pain relieved a little, "Damn this bear is blind, Lao Tzu has to take revenge." As he spoke, he picked up a stone beside him and threw it into a valley not far away. Bang" came from the valley.
"What's that sound?" Niu Huan said. The two of them glanced at each other.
"This voice is not iron or wood, I'll go over and take a look." Niu Huan got up and walked to the valley where the voice came from just now. He was stunned at this look, there was a square green house in the valley leaning upside down, and there seemed to be four big wheels under this house, what a strange thing, could this house move?
The more he looked at it, the more wrong it became, and Niu Huan came back and said, "Ma Bao, there is a big green house in the valley with wheels underneath, and I have never seen a planting house. ”
"Hey, hey, hey, Niu Huan, you kid is really good at it, and there is a big green house in the valley, and there are wheels under the house, who believes this, you can go back and lie to your ten-year-old brother......" Ma Bao didn't believe what he said at all.
"Oh you man, what am I lying to you for? You can see if it's true or not. Niu Huan said unhappily.
Looking at the expression on Niu Huan's face, it didn't seem to be fake, Ma Baoxin said, "Could it be that what this kid said is true?" Thinking of this, he said: "Okay, you help me over, and when I see it, I will know whether it is true or not, and if you dare to lie to me, your next month's salary will be mine." ”
"Let's go, stop talking nonsense." Niu Huan said and helped Ma Bao over. When he arrived at the top of the valley, Ma Bao was stunned and speechless for a long time.
"How? I didn't lie to you......" Niu Huan said proudly.
After looking at it for a while, Ma Bao said, "You kid go down and take a look." ”
"What? I won't go, maybe there is a monster living in the house below, and after I go down, it will come out of the green house and eat me......" Niu Huan said in fear.
Niu Huan said this, Ma Bao also felt a little chill on his body, shrunk his neck, and carefully glanced at the green house in the valley, and limped away from the place where he was standing just now. Not long after they walked away, a wind blew in the valley, and the two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly stumbled out of the mountain.
Out of the mountainous area, seeing people walking on the mountain road in the distance, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief, and said fearfully: "Fortunately, I ran fast, otherwise I would have been caught by the monster." After saying that, the two of them walked towards Mingfeng Village.
Zhao Guohua has been pondering the production of granular gunpowder during this time, and he first asked the blacksmith to make a round hollow ball.
The iron ball is made of a very thin iron sheet, which can be filled with medicinal powder, and then a handle and a wooden frame are made through the iron ball to load the iron ball on the wooden frame, and the iron ball loaded with medicinal powder can be rotated by shaking the handle, just like the hand-cranked way of the old-fashioned popcorn machine.
