After staying in the post house for one night, early the next morning, Princess Wencheng looked for Tang Zhou to go on an expedition to Bird and Mouse Mountain. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
But Tang Zhou said that he would wait, which made Princess Wencheng a little unhappy, and even wondered if Tang Zhou's words yesterday were perfunctory.
"It's just a trip to Bird and Mouse Mountain, what's there to wait for?"
Tang Zhou smiled: "The terrain of Bird and Mouse Mountain is complicated, and it is very likely that we will lose our way after we go in, so I have asked Ma Danian to prepare enough food for us, and then I need time to make a compass, so that no matter what the situation inside is, we will not get lost." ”
"Compass?" Princess Wencheng was a little surprised, she had never heard of a compass.
Tang Zhou nodded: "That's right, the compass, an instrument for identifying the direction, has been made before, called Sinan, but it is too big and inconvenient to carry, so I am going to make a small one that is easy to carry, called a compass." ”
As soon as Tang Zhou explained this, Princess Wencheng understood, Sinan had appeared in the Warring States Period, and she still knew this, but she was very curious, what would Tang Zhou's compass look like, and if she was small, could she tell the direction?
However, Princess Wencheng didn't ask much, she had already heard that Tang Zhou would invent and manufacture a lot of things, and now she wanted to see what Tang Zhou's compass would look like.
Soon, Ma Danian prepared all the food and water that Tang Zhou and the others needed to enter the Bird and Mouse Mountain, in addition to some tools that Tang Zhou needed to make a compass.
After the tools were brought, Princess Wencheng and the others were very curious, and hurriedly squeezed their heads to look at it, but after they saw it, they couldn't help but be a little disappointed, because there were only two tools brought, a magnet and an embroidery needle.
Can these two things make something that discerns direction?
Everyone was surprised, but Tang Zhou smiled indifferently and said: "If you use a magnet to rub a needle, you can guide, so I only need to grind the embroidery needle on the magnet, and then levitate it in the air or water, and the magnetic needle will automatically point to the south." ”
As he spoke, Tang Zhou began to grind, and after grinding, he interviewed in front of everyone, and the magnetic needle really pointed to the south, so he tried it several times in a row, and there were no mistakes.
It was only at this time that everyone believed Tang Zhou's words.
"The conditions here are a bit rudimentary, and we are in a hurry, so we can only use this for the time being, and when I have time, I will make a beautiful one, which is guaranteed to look much better than this."
Tang Zhou said, put away the magnetic needle, and then called Ma Qing, Li Hu and more than forty others to leave Linzhou City and rush to Bird and Mouse Mountain.
It was already dark when they arrived at Bird and Mouse Mountain, so they did not go in immediately, but set up camp outside Bird and Mouse Mountain.
At this time, it was already late spring and early summer, and the weather was starting to be hot, even if they slept outside, there was nothing, so after setting up camp, Tang Zhou ordered people to pick up a fire and prepare to bake some food, of course, there was also the game they hunted when they came all the way.
After the fire was lit, the smell of game wafted around, and although everyone knew that this trip was for adventure, they did not feel too dangerous, and besides, at the moment of food, everyone did not think of too many dangerous things.
But just as they were tasting the food, there was a sudden strange smell from the bird and mouse pass, Ma Qing had a keen sense of hearing, and immediately looked in that direction, and then he saw a black shadow flashing by, and when he stood up and was about to chase it, the black shadow had disappeared.
When everyone saw Ma Qing suddenly stand up, their hearts suddenly tightened.
Everyone is a guard, and they have all killed people, and the details of Ma Qing's situation just now are that they found something unusual.
"What's going on?" After Tang Zhou found Ma Qing standing up, he asked with some puzzlement.
Ma Qing pointed to the entrance of Bird and Mouse Mountain: "There was a black shadow there just now, and it passed in a flash." ”
As soon as Ma Qing said this, many people were a little scared, especially Princess Wencheng and Xiao Zhao, although Princess Wencheng said yesterday that she was very bold, but it was all nonsense she said in order to let Tang Zhou let her follow, a princess, and a woman, how bold can she be?
Thinking that there had been a dark shadow watching them just now, it was strange that she was not afraid.
After Tang Zhou heard Ma Qing's words, his brows furrowed slightly, and then said: "Bird and Mouse Mountain is not safe, we already knew this when we came, so you don't have to be too afraid, do a good job of keeping vigil tonight, understand?" ”
After Tang Zhou finished speaking, everyone responded one after another, and at this time, Tang Zhou came to Princess Wencheng and said, "Your Royal Highness Princess, if you want to go back now, it's still too late." ”
Princess Wencheng was really a little scared at this time and wanted to go back, but after hearing Tang Zhou's words, she was a little angry, as if Tang Zhou had expected that she would want to go back because she was afraid, and Tang Zhou's words made people think she was very timid.
"I'm not going back, what's there to be afraid of?"
As soon as Princess Wencheng finished speaking, there was a sudden burst of ape cry in the distance, the voice was desolate, making people tremble, Princess Wencheng heard the ape cry for the first time, and couldn't help but shout in fright, and suddenly threw herself into Tang Zhou's arms.
The beauty is in her arms, and the fragrance comes to your nose, which makes people can't help but want to revel in it.
But Tang Zhou didn't dare to hug him, so he could only let Princess Wencheng continue to pounce in his arms, until the ape cry was over and Princess Wencheng herself left him, he smiled and said, "Your Royal Highness the princess, it's just an ape cry." ”
Princess Wencheng was a little shy and a little embarrassed, she just said that she was very bold, but the sound of hooves scared her face, isn't this a slap in the face?
But she couldn't admit defeat, so she suddenly looked up at Tang Zhou and said, "What's this, it's just an ape's cry, I heard this voice for the first time, and I'm a little curious, isn't it?" ”
Tang Zhou smiled, thinking that you threw yourself into my arms in fright, is that a sign of curiosity?
However, Tang Zhou didn't want Princess Wencheng to be too faceless, so he didn't continue, and he saw that Princess Wencheng didn't want to go back, so naturally there was no need to say more.
The night is getting deeper, there is a crescent moon in the sky, beautiful like a painting, there is a crackling sound by the fire, Princess Wencheng leaned on Tang Zhou's shoulder and fell asleep.
She was originally very scared, but for some reason, when her head rested on Tang Zhou's shoulder, she felt very relieved, and all the danger and fear no longer worried her.
And a princess like her, who may not be able to fall asleep even if she sleeps on a big bed, can fall asleep by leaning on Tang Zhou's shoulder at this time, which makes Xiao Zhao, who knows her very well, very surprised, and Xiao Zhao, who is obviously a little precocious, has somewhat understood what her princess means after seeing all this.
It's just that after understanding, her heart couldn't help but let out a long sigh, the two met too late, otherwise it must be a pair of fairy couples in the world, right?
One already has two wives, one is going to leave his hometown to marry Tibet, and two people who have nothing to do with each other are walking together, and fate is really unfair to them.
