Chapter 12: The Little Snake

Although Huayu Town is very close to Yichang City, the town is subordinate to Lu County, which is the dividing line between Hua County and Lu County. As the saying goes www.biquge.info the mountain eats the mountain and the water is draught, Huayu Town is backed by Tianjian Mountain, and the residents in the town naturally make a living by hunting. There are several restaurants in the town that are more famous, and most of the signboards are mountain delicacies. In the past, Gu Tianying and Chu Xilai and other playmates often came to Huayu Town to play, and after eating and drinking enough, they rode horses and bows together to hunt in Tianjian Mountain. Because the terrain of Tianjian Mountain is intricate, and there are many fierce beasts coming and going inside, Gu Tianying and others mostly recreation on the periphery and do not go deep into it.

As soon as he heard that Chu Xianlai wanted to take a bath, Gu Tianying suddenly felt uncomfortable. Although he had the experience of being a beggar, he still couldn't stand the smell of blood and stinky sweat.

"Bear with me, when Shunfu comes back, our brothers will go to Qingtan Shabu together, and change into clean clothes by the way." When several people used to come here to play and hunt, they had accidentally found a small pool, the surrounding eyes were full of greenery, the scenery was beautiful, and the pool was green. Since the discovery of the waterhole, Gu Tianying and others will take a dip in the waterhole every time they come.

"Good, good." Chu Evil came to have this intention, and when he heard Gu Tianying's words, he agreed again and again.

The two of them waited for about half an hour when they heard the sound of horses' hooves in front of the road. There are two roads leading from Huayu Town to Bian Wangcheng in Lujun, one is in the east of Huayu Town, and one avenue bypasses Tianjian Mountain, which is long but easy to walk. And the other is the small road where Gu Tianying is now, which crosses from the east side of Tianjian Mountain, and the distance is short but there are no cars and horses, only walking. In addition, the trail is surrounded by woods and mountains, and if you are unlucky, you will encounter fierce beasts, so except for experienced hunters who want to hunt for rare prey and go into the mountains together, few pedestrians will take this trail. Now the reason why Gu Tianying and they chose this road to pass through Tianjian Mountain is also a last resort. But if there is a way, no one wants to spend the night in this dangerous mountain forest.

At this time, it was already evening, and no one would enter Tianjian Mountain from this road at this hour. Gu Tianying came to the side of the path in two steps, hid behind a big tree and looked forward, only to see a person and a horse, and several large packages were hung in front of the horse, which was the blessing of entering Huayu Town to buy dry food and other things.

Gu Tianying looked back to make sure that no one was following him, and blew a whistle to beckon Shunfu to come to the forest.

"It's going well, right?" Gu Tianying asked first.

"The people in the town don't know about us yet, and I met a few acquaintances to greet me when I was shopping. After shopping, I deliberately came out of the town from the north and made sure that no one was following me before coming back, so there was a bit of a delay. Shunfu gasped and said, this afternoon can toss him enough, when he is a housekeeper on weekdays, what things to add to the house, he only needs to give an order, where has he done such a large exercise.

Chu Xilai came to the horse in two steps, took down a few packages and untied them, most of the dry food and change of clothes in the packages, and some covering blankets, fire oil and flint and other items that can be used overnight in the mountains and forests, Shunfu also bought a few short knives that can be carried closely, four hats to cover the face, and some standing medicines. The stuff is very complete and well thought out.

"Young Master, let's see if there is anything missing, no, I'll go to the town to make up for it again." Shun Fu said.

"Everything is all in order, now is a critical moment, we can show less and show less." Gu Tianying turned around and helped Wan down from the carriage, took an ordinary cloth coat and handed it to him and said: "Mother, in the future, we will be ordinary people who have joined the family, you can't wear this silk dress for the time being, just be wronged." ”

"We are fleeing now, life is the most important, what is clothing." Wan didn't pay attention to these things, took the clothes and got into the carriage, changed all the silk dresses and jewelry on his body, and then got off the carriage, which was already an ordinary person's cloth clothes. Although there is a little less luxury, there is a little more simplicity, still beautiful and moving, and the temperament is extraordinary.

"Mother, as long as you show your face, whatever clothes you change are in vain, and wherever you go is the focus." Gu Tianying said and took a hat, brought it to Wan's with his own hands, hung down the black yarn on the hat to block Wan's face, took a few steps back and looked at it before nodding his head to express satisfaction.

"Big brother, I'm going to take a bath, will you go?" Chu Xilai took out the largest set of new clothes from the baggage, and said while eating oil cakes.

"You and Shunfu go first, I'll stay and guard, and when you pack up your profits, the Bamboo Leaf Forest will change me, and we will spend the night in the Bamboo Leaf Forest tonight." The bamboo leaf forest and Qingtan are not far from each other, and they are relatively hidden, and it is not easy to find them even if the officers and soldiers chase them. At this time, it was already evening, and it was difficult to walk in the mountains at night, so Gu Tianying decided to rest in the bamboo leaf forest for a night and eat something, and wait until dawn tomorrow before hurrying.

"That's fine." Chu Xilai agreed, and took Shunfu to Qingtan. Gu Tianying led the carriage and the two horses to the trail and drove them away with a whip. Then he buried the Meixue silver spear in his hand under a big tree, no way, his spear was too conspicuous, and it was very inconvenient to carry it. However, Gu Tian should have made a mark on the tree, thinking that he would have the opportunity to come back and take it away in the future.

After everything was cleaned up, Gu Tianying carried his bags and helped Wan to march towards Tianjian Mountain, turning around and turning around to a small bamboo forest. Gu Tianying pulled out the short knife at his waist to clear a clearing, laid out a cushion for the Wan family, and made a simple tent out of bamboo. Then he made a few buckets out of bamboo, made some water to make a fire and boiled it, took out the dry food and ate it with Wan's. These are all things he learned from some hunters when he was hunting, but he didn't expect them to come in handy now.

Wan Shi looked at Gu Tianying, who was busy and methodical, and was very surprised, she really didn't know when her son learned this hand. Surprised, Wan Shi couldn't help but feel a little sad, as the son of the eldest young master of the Gu family, when did he do such a trivial thing, looking at Gu Tianying's busy figure, Wan's eyes turned red again. However, she quickly concealed the sadness in her heart, not wanting Gu Tianying to see that she was worried.

As soon as Gu Tianying cleaned up the surroundings, he heard the sound of footsteps outside the bamboo forest, and turned his head to see two figures, one large and one small, walking into the bamboo forest, which were Chu Evillai and the housekeeper Shunfu who had finished taking a bath.

"It's really timely, I'm just done with this busy work and you'll be back." Gu Tianying said with a smile, looking up and looking up again, he was slightly stunned, at this time, Chu Evillai and Shunfu had already changed into the cloth clothes of ordinary people, but Chu Evillai was carrying a thick and long object in his hand.

"Evil, what do you have in your hand?" Gu Tianying asked curiously.

"When I was taking a bath, this little snake wrapped around my waist, and I killed it with my hands, just to add some meat to us." Chu Evil came to pick up the things in his hand and said casually.

Gu Tianying looked at his complexion and changed, he knew what Chu Xianlai was doing, where was the little snake, it was obviously a thigh thick, and the golden scales were more than a zhang long.

Chu Evil came and Shunfu were bathing in Qingtan, and it happened that this python went to hunt for food by the pool. The bloody taste of Chu Evil's body naturally became the first choice for the python's attack, but today the python chose the wrong target, and the roles of the hunter and the prey were reversed in an instant, and Chu Evillai pinched seven inches and straightened it hard.

"This ...... It's really a little snake. Gu Tianying looked at Jin Liang Mang and was speechless, and Shunfu on the side was obviously frightened, and deliberately distanced himself from Chu Xi.

"Big brother, go take a bath, I'll skin this little snake and remove the gall first, and when you come back, you will have barbecue to eat." Chu Xilai walked to the side of the package, took the short knife, and was about to do it.

"Don't mind, you leave it to me, I'll go to Qingtan to do it." Gu Tianying hurriedly stopped, although this is the periphery of Tianjian Mountain, but there is no guarantee that there are no fierce beasts, doesn't this golden-scaled python appear near here. The beasts are very sensitive to the smell of blood, and if they do it in the bamboo forest, they may cause trouble.

"Then I'll go with you."

"No, you are guarding here, protect our mother and Shunfu, don't run around." The appearance of this golden-scaled python made Gu Tianying very uneasy, Wan and Shunfu were powerless, in this Tianjian Mountain, he and Chu Xianlai must always leave one person to protect their safety.

Gu Tianying took a set of clothes handed over by Shunfu, his clothes were in charge of Shunfu before, the size Shunfu remembered very clearly, it should fit very well. Telling Chu to come again, Gu Tianying rushed to Qingtan with the corpse of the golden-scaled python.
