Chapter 11: The Caravan
Outside the forest, piles of bonfires burned on the grass, reflecting the long queue of carriages lined up on the road, flatbed carriages loaded with goods, including two carriages with carriages, obviously a caravan of considerable size. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
Roar.. Bang.. The faint sound of wolf howls and sparse gunfire came from the mountains and forests, which immediately alarmed the caravan, and many of the guards resting by the campfire were agitated spirits who hurriedly got up and picked up their guns.
This caravan had a lot of guards, dozens of people, almost all of whom were armed with rifles, and the guards reacted quickly.
"What's going on?" A slightly majestic and dissatisfied shout sounded, and I saw a white-faced middle-aged man in a black coat and a black hat come down from one of the carriages with a carriage.
A grim man with sharp eyes hurriedly greeted him and bowed down and said: "Sixth master, it's not a big deal, Ah Hu and a few of them went up the mountain to hunt, they should have encountered wolves on the mountain, and I have already ordered a few brothers to help." ”
"Hmmm! In the winter, the wolves in the mountains are also very fierce. Be careful, don't be hurt by wolves," the middle-aged sixth master nodded and frowned slightly.
The cold man said: "Sixth master, don't worry! It's just a few wolves, at most a few more bullets are wasted. ”
"! Lao Tzu's bullets weren't bought with money? The sixth master said angrily: "This Ah Hu will actually cause trouble for me." What kind of hunting are you going to hunt in the winter? Can't he eat without a bite in the caravan? ”
The cold man who bowed his head slightly suddenly didn't dare to answer anymore.
"Sixth uncle, what's wrong? I seem to have heard the wolf howling, is it possible that the wolves in this mountain still want to go out of the mountains to eat people? A soft and pleasant voice sounded, and I saw that in another carriage with a carriage not far away, a tall woman with a black tight-fitting cheongsam and a white robe and a long black hair shawl got out of the carriage and walked over accompanied by a maid who also looked tall in a tight white jacket.
The cold man who hurriedly retreated to the side of the way, and even shouted respectfully to the tall woman: "Miss Zhiyun! ”
"Zhiyun, why did you get out of the car? The wind is cold at night, be careful of catching a cold," the sixth master said to the tall woman with a smile.
"Sixth uncle, Zhiyun is not so delicate! It's been a day in the carriage, and it's weird to be depressed," Miss Zhiyun shook her head and smiled.
"It's back! Tiger Master, they're back! Amidst the shouts of the guards, the sixth master, Miss Zhiyun, and the cold man who was standing respectfully on the side all hurriedly turned their heads to look in the direction of the mountains and forests in the distance.
I saw figures rushing out of the mountains and forests, and soon came back under the leadership of the bald man.
"Someone hurt?" Seeing as if someone had been carried back, Miss Zhiyun couldn't help frowning slightly.
"Hu? What's going on? Who was hurt? Is it badly hurt? The sixth master was also busy stepping forward and frowned and asked.
Ah Hu, a bald man who hurriedly ran over to catch his breath, waved his hand and hurriedly said, "No, Sixth Master, no one is injured!" However, this time, we rescued an injured number from the mountains and forests. Those wolves should have been lured by him. ”
"Where to carry it? Let's go to heal the wounds, and carry this to block the sixth master? Seeing that a strong man turned Leng Feng on his back, the cold man who was standing respectfully on the side frowned and waved his hands.
And the sixth master, who unexpectedly raised his eyebrows after listening to Ah Hu's words, saw the cold front who was carried over with a tiger skin wrapped on his back and wrapped in simple leather armor, and couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, I'll take a look when I carry it!" ”
"Sixth Master, this kid we rescued is so weird!" On the side, Ah Hu watched the sturdy man turn Leng Feng over and carefully put it on the ground, and couldn't help but say.
Walked forward and looked Leng Feng's sixth master up and down in the firelight, especially when he noticed the tiger skin behind Leng Feng and the python skin wrapped around his body, he couldn't help but squint his eyes slightly: "Python skin? ”
"Sixth master, his body is very hot, as if he has a high fever!" The sturdy man who was panting slightly on the side couldn't help but say.
Ah Hu also pointed to the bloody wounds on Leng Feng's arms and legs and said, "Sixth Master, you see, this wound should have been drawn by himself, just to bleed and lower his body temperature." However, it attracted wolves, and if we hadn't happened to meet him, this kid would have been eaten by the wolves. ”
"Huh? Sure enough, it burned badly! The sixth master reached out and touched Leng Feng's forehead, and was suddenly startled, and his face couldn't help but change, because Leng Feng's forehead was too hot.
Ah Hu couldn't help but say, "Sixth Master, what should I do?" We don't have a doctor here, we can't go to the village or the store, this guy is burning so badly, I'm afraid it's hard to save his life. ”
"I'll take a look!" That Miss Zhiyun suddenly stepped forward and squatted down, reaching out to check Leng Feng's pulse.
Miss Zhiyun, whose jade finger was pressed on Leng Feng's wrist, felt the scorching temperature from the skin of Leng Feng's wrist, and couldn't help but change her pretty face with a slight trembling jade hand, and carefully sensed Leng Feng's pulse, and couldn't help frowning.
"Go get a torch!" Miss Zhiyun hurriedly shouted.
Ah Hu, who answered, hurriedly went to the bonfire not far away to get a torch back to illuminate it.
Reflecting the light of the torches, he stepped forward and reached out to lift Leng Feng's eyelids to look at Miss Zhiyun who was looking at his reddened eyes, and couldn't help frowning a little tighter, and then instructed Ah Hu: "Ah Hu, you can take a bath for him with warm water later, and then take wine to help him wipe his body." ”
"Wipe yourself with wine?" Ah Hu was stunned when he heard this, their caravan had a lot of goods, and they had to bring food and the like, so naturally it was impossible to bring much wine, this wine was a precious resource in the caravan!
Miss Zhiyun, who got up and looked at Ah Hu, said indifferently: "What? Questions? Do you want me to ask Uncle Sixth to give you a ban on alcohol for ten days and a half? ”
"No, no.. Miss Zhiyun! Rub Rub.. I've wiped all the wine for him tonight," Ah Hu hurriedly waved his hand.
For Ah Hu, who likes to drink, it is uncomfortable to endure not drinking all night, and it is almost fatal to be abstained from drinking for ten days and half a month.
Miss Zhiyun nodded with satisfaction at the corners of her mouth: "Very good!" Remember to wipe him a few more times, and by the way, the wounds on his legs and arms, help him deal with them. ”
"Yes! Miss Zhiyun! Ah Hu replied with a bitter face and a little depressed.
"Sixth Uncle, then I'll go back and rest first," Miss Zhiyun turned to the Sixth Master on the side and said a little respectfully.
The sixth master smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's rest early!" I'm going to have to go early tomorrow! ”
"Ah Hu, take good care of it, and call a few more people to stay by his side at night," said the sixth master, who watched Miss Zhiyun leave, before turning his gaze to sweep over the black short sword tightly held in Leng Feng's hand, and commanded Ah Hu meaningfully.
Ah Hu, whose eyes flashed, nodded in response with understanding: "Don't worry!" Sixth Master! I must be careful! ”
As the night wore on, the guards had dinner, and except for a few who kept vigil, most of them rested in groups around the campfire wrapped in blankets.
By one of the campfires, Leng Feng, who was naked, was lying on the grass covered with blankets wearing only shorts.
"This tiger skin is so warm! Hey, Brother Tiger, you said that his tiger skin is wrapped so tightly, is there any treasure hidden in it? The sturdy man who was half-leaning on the tiger skin package couldn't help but ask Ah Hu, who was leaning on the other side.
Ah Hu, who sat up with a slight expression, glanced at Leng Feng, who was unconscious, and then his eyes fell on the tiger skin package, and he whispered to the sturdy man with a slight groan: "Open it and take a look!" ”
"Okay!" The sturdy man who answered the call hurriedly grinned and reached out to untie the tiger skin package that was bundled together.
Several other guards around the bonfire also came over curiously, wanting to see what was inside the tiger skin package.
Soon, the package was opened, revealing a set of tattered clothes, a neatly folded leopard skin, and a quaint and worn rectangular box.
Reaching out to take the box and opening it, Ah Hu saw that one of them was a package of leaves, and an attractive fragrance escaped from it, causing several guards around to stir their noses.
"Master Tiger, what's so fragrant?" The sturdy man couldn't help but lean forward and asked curiously.
"It should be barbecue or something, if you want to eat it, take it and divide it," Ah Hu casually picked up the leaf package and handed it to the strong man, and then his eyes fell on the two things side by side at the bottom of the box, a jade plaque and a quaint swarthy token.
Taking out the jade plate and token, looking at it in the light of the fire, Ah Hu, who didn't see any clue, frowned and threw it into the box, which was to put the box back into the tiger skin package.
"Don't rob it! I haven't eaten two pieces yet? What's the hurry? As he spoke, the sturdy man picked up a piece of meat from the open leaf wrap and ate it.
The emaciated young man on the side couldn't help but say, "Brother Erniu, there are not a few pieces in total!" You leave some for your brothers. ”
"Alright, let's divide it!" The sturdy man Erniu casually threw a piece of meat to him, and then devoured the remaining meat in the leaf wrap.
The emaciated young man was depressed, but he could only tear a little meat with a few guards around him.
"Look at your little bit of talent, isn't it just a little barbecue?" Ah Hu on the side saw Erniu like this, and couldn't help frowning and said angrily: "It's really that delicious?" ”
Erniu nodded vaguely and said, "Okay.. It's delicious, I've never had such a delicious barbecue! ”
"Anything else?" Ah Hu couldn't help but be whetted by the smell of barbecue when he heard it, and couldn't help but ask.
"No.. Belch.. Gone! Erniu said and hiccuped.
Seeing this, Ah Hu couldn't help but glared at him a little depressedly: "You foodie!" ”
