Chapter 4 My name is Fire Spirit
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the depression outside the canyon was quiet, and the stitch marks that I had stepped on when I walked through Gao Ling were clear in the sunlight, different from the thatched grass that had not been injured. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Watching a team of men and horses chasing after him, the first one stared at the ground meticulously, marching at great speed, when approaching the mouth of the canyon, seeing that the terrain of the canyon was dangerous, he stopped the advance of his companions behind, looked up at the top of the canyon, quietly, it was safe, but he couldn't see the clue, and his heart became more and more hesitant.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" A strange man dressed in black with black and white lines on his face, Sen asked with a cold gaze, his fingers were slender and never left the hilt of the knife, like a hungry wolf who chose someone to be killed.
"No, this is a good place for an ambush." He couldn't express the doubts in his heart at this time, because if he guessed wrong and delayed time, he was afraid that he would have to suffer, so he lost the choice to the leader.
"You two, quickly climb the cliffs at both ends of the canyon and find out." The man in black said coldly, still sticking the knife into the ground in front of him, holding the handle of the knife with both hands.
Two sturdy pirates came out of the crowd and headed down the cliff of the canyon, like two apes, agile and agile in climbing, and they were walking on the ground.
Hiding on the cliff, a little trembling, from time to time the breeze blowing is not good at all, vaguely I can hear the sound of someone climbing up, my heart rises to my throat, if he finds out my hiding place, it will take a lot of effort to kill him, the delay is long, it is not good for us, I don't know if the cliff on the other side of the tomb is also thinking so.
I can already hear the sound of footsteps, whether it is a sudden attack, or wait for the opportunity, just when I hesitate, the other side has already moved his hand, so angry that I am secretly scolding, this is not blindness.
However, this gave me the opportunity, and when the pirate here took it lightly and warned his companions at the bottom of the valley, he thought that we must be two of us ambushing on the other side together, and relaxed his vigilance, but I touched his side, and he realized that he was kicked directly down by me without doing anything, and I didn't know why, but he fell into a muddy flesh, and the seven orifices were bleeding non-stop.
Gao Ling and the pirate fought hard, you sword me a sword, fight to the death, look at the posture is very clear, the pirate alone is not Gao Ling's opponent at all, about twenty rounds, Gao Ling's completely unwanted life play worked, the sword pierced through the intestines, splashed with blood on his hands, drew the sword, I glanced at him and ran north.
……
After running for almost an afternoon, tired and resting, resting, and then escaping, finally in the evening, neither Gao Ling nor I fell into the hands of the pirates, nor did we fall to our deaths because of a misstep, so I found a hidden place to rest for the time being.
Such a place is very easy in this deep mountain and old forest, you can find a cave casually, natural concealment, as long as you don't make any movement, it is estimated that there will be no major incident to sleep here for one night.
This night was very uncomfortable, tired and hungry, and frightened, nervous and highly nervous, in the first half of the night I kept vigil, did not dare to close my eyes at all, for fear that the pirates did not notice when they got close, and in the second half of the night, it was the turn of Gaoling to keep vigil, and I actually slept to death.
The long night passed, and there was no danger in any situation, and it seemed that the night was dark and the wind was high, and they did not dare to pursue this place in the deep mountains, forests, and ravines.
I woke up and looked at Gao Ling, although his face was tired and his spirit was not good, but his mind was very clear and he was always on alert, and I couldn't help but secretly admire in my heart.
"I don't know what other clansmen there are in the Fire Spirit Brothers, and where are they?" Gao Ling didn't look happy when he saw me, and speculated that I was afraid that I didn't know about the secret prophecy of the Fire Moon Sect.
"There are no clansmen, they are all dead, we live in a valley, a strange disease and the whole clan died cleanly, I was the only one left, I was still young at that time, when I grew up, I went out of the valley, I didn't expect to meet Brother Gaoling being chased by pirates as soon as I got out of the valley." I said compassionately.
"It's so miserable, the god of death is so vicious and ruthless, and he is killing the Fire Moon Clan, is it that our Fire Moon Clan is so angry and resentful." Gao Ling muttered to himself, almost warm.
But my hearing is very strong, word for word fell in my ears, knowing that the Fire Moon Clan is such a miserable situation, my heart suddenly cooled to the freezing point, I really shouldn't be greedy, I sat down indiscriminately, I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, it seems to be a good proverb, however, the matter has come to this, I can only admit it, and look at it step by step.
"Senior brother, junior brother has no door and no job now, I don't know if you can show me a broad road?" I asked.
"I don't know what the Fire Spirit brothers like to do, Gao is not a capable person, a rough and reckless man, and the help provided is very limited." Gao Ling said lonely, his eyebrows tightened again.
"In this way, I don't know if you still need armor soldiers in your army, look at my strong body, I should be able to be competent as a guard." I said confidently.
"It's not good, don't join the army, it's a point of no return." Gao Ling vetoed it.
"If you want to be brilliant and make contributions, what shortcuts can there be besides this road of no return, I am not suitable for the imperial examination." I found that the treatment of the army to which Gaoling belonged was not ordinarily poor, but their combat effectiveness was definitely first-class, why didn't I join them to kill the enemy together, is it pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger? It's not like it at all.
"If it's an official career, Gao would rather Brother Huoling join Gao's army, so maybe you can show your strengths, if you enter the official career, I'm afraid it will be difficult to move an inch without a background background, and the official career is a ladder prepared for noble lords, but it is a cliff for ordinary people like us." Gao Ling explained.
"You're still in a slave society?" I was amazed.
"What a slave society, there are many slaves in the kingdom." Gao Ling looked at it with a puzzled expression.
"It's a slave country, another way," I said, "I think it's better for me to join the army, and I would be grateful if the Gaoling brothers could introduce me to the army." ”
After I mutated, I was born with divine power and did not join the army, which simply destroyed my divine power.
"Joining the army in troubled times is a road of no return, joining my army is to die, Brother Fire Spirit, please don't make a decision lightly, go to my camp and take a closer look, you are my benefactor, I really can't watch you jump into the fire pit, there is a wider world for you to gallop, not this hairy place." Gao Ling suddenly said sacrosanctly, with a face of piety, a face of yearning, and a face of longing.
It is a very real picture, thousands of prosperity, supreme wealth, the splendid Yuyu Qionglou, pavilions and pavilions accompanied by the water pavilion and flower capital, that is the most prosperous capital of the kingdom, that is full of gold and noble land, busy with traffic, endless, international trade, unparalleled city prosperity.
He was born there, grew up there, and there are all the good memories of his adulthood, thinking of the prosperity there, he was also drunk, but he didn't expect to be sent to this far place of death now.
Finally, I didn't see a tail following behind me, and when I got out of the old forest and into the rolling hills, Gao Ling gave me a shot of reassurance, saying that the camp they were stationed was not far ahead.
In the hills near the camp, I saw the cultivated land, on which the corn seedlings of half a man tall had grown, and their growth was not satisfactory, most of them fell to the ground, and were injured by the wind, and then I saw sweet potato vines crisscrossing the land, all dead branches and leaves, like wild, and the last potato vines I saw grew sparsely on the ground, like crops cultivated by an unripe man.
