Chapter 1: Horror 1

Bidding farewell to the old village chief and others, he came out of the small village and went on the new road leading to Hanzhong from the valley. Zhang Zhong and Wang Tietang each led a horse, carrying some necessary supplies and some copper coins on their backs. The strong man surnamed Wang has become familiar with Zhang Zhong in the past few days, but both of them are silent, and in addition to the sound of insects and birds chirping along the way, there is the sound of horses' hooves stepping on the stone slab.

The eldest grandson did not take the initiative to ask about the past and origin of the one-armed Wang Tie Dan for a few days, but through a few days of observation, he found that he was not a good person, and although the knife he carried with him had not been unsheathed, the weight should not be clear. In the past few days, the daily departure and the various things when I first met have revealed a sense of rebelliousness, but one arm has been abolished and is more or less inferior.

Changsun Tang intends to break this deadlock, otherwise it is easy for people to misunderstand that they either need to recharge their IQ, or think that their EQ has not reached the passing line.

"Wang Zhuangshi, where is your home?"

"Home, I haven't been back for a long time, there was a famine in those days of the previous dynasty, and I had to recruit soldiers, so I had to fall into the grass, and finally I was absorbed by Li Mi's army, and then transferred to His Majesty's camp, and the days came like this."

"Your Majesty is the master today, is the strong man being deducted by those below?" The eldest grandson continued to ask.

"That's not it, the war has been successful, and no one dares to make up their minds about the reward, but they have been living a life of licking blood with a knife, and there is no one at home, and it has passed like this. Last year, I beat that kid Jieli, and my arm was gone. Hey, don't talk about it, how can you say that your life is saved. ”

The two chatted with each other, at this time the sun was already in the west, but the sun could not be seen in the shady section, and the sun in the late spring was also a little spicy, and the three of them went down to the river to rest and solve the lunch problem by the way.

Zhang Zhong knocked on the gourd and found that it was about to bottom, so he picked up some dry wood from the river to make a fire and boil water. Zhang Zhong knew that his master didn't have any shelf, but there were many inexplicable rules, such as three meals a day, never drinking raw water, etc., but these were not a big problem.

The thin iron kettle made by the blacksmith was put on the stove built at random, and the water was boiled after a small effort, and several people took out the dough cake and soaked it in the water, sprinkled some "convenient" seasonings that Changsun Tang had configured in advance, and even ate and drank the stomach, and poured water into a few gourds, and the three of them continued on the road.

After the cherry pigeon post all the way to the west, until the official road extends on a mountain beam, the eldest grandson knows that this small mountain beam will be divided into two sections of the ancient road, over the mountain beam to the south foot of the Qinling Mountains, is a tributary of the Han River, all the way to the south, along this inconspicuous river can reach Hanzhong, this road is also the original road that Liu Bang and Cao Cao walked.

Standing at the boundary of these two rivers, the eldest grandson had thousands of thoughts coming to him, and Liu Bang walked through here to establish the Han Dynasty for four hundred years......

Just as he was about to sigh a little more, a horse came with a roar, and the knight carried three flags behind him, and galloped past the three of them without deliberately slowing down uphill. Although this road is the main road connecting Shuzhong and Guanzhong, but limited by the scope of people's activities at this time, there are not many people on the road, and there is no risk of accidentally injuring passers-by.

The three of them crossed the mountain beam, but it was not early, and the temperature in the mountain also dropped, with a slight chill, looking at the mountains in front of them, the three of them could not rush to the post station tonight to stay. A short distance on, a small village looms on the other side of the creek, with three or five thatched houses, dogs barking, and women anxiously calling for their chickens to come home.

The three of them stood outside the fence surrounded by tree branches, and the scene of the small courtyard was clear at a glance, some of the undistinguishable vegetables in a small vegetable field were about a foot, about five or six chickens were squeezed out of a chicken coop, and a yellow dog stared at the three and barked wildly.

The master came out of the open door and said, "Who?" "Seeing the outfit of the three of them, I may understand a little.

"How many masters have missed the time to invest in the store?"

"Well, I wonder if I can spend the night here?" Zhang Zhong accosted.

"Well, it can be, it's just that the place is smaller, the three masters may be a little crowded, there is a small town not far in front of the official road, there is an inn there, and several horses can also be fed, we ......"

"It's okay, just squeeze it, who knows how far the inn will be......"

"Zhang Zhong, give him a few copper coins, we will stay here tonight, and we will be on the road early tomorrow morning." Changsun Tang looked at the piled up hay in the courtyard and knew that the owner meant to ask for some food and lodging expenses, and it was very close to the official road, and the people who missed the inn or rushed should not be bothered, so he said it directly.

Zhang Zhonglisuo took out more than a dozen copper coins from his bag, took a few more back, thought about giving two more, and said, "Then do you have beans?" Feed the horses, I haven't seen beans in a few days! ”

The master took the money, led the horse over with a smile, and yelled into the house, "Second baby, come out quickly and brush the horse for the third master." ”

A half-old boy, about seven or eight years old, came out rubbing his eyes, and said as he walked: "Dad, it's so dark, I can't see anything, why don't you brush it!" ”

Changsun Tang looked at Chang Gengxing in the sky, but also knew that in this era, due to the lack of food, there were many people with night blindness caused by lack of vitamins, which stopped Zhang Zhong, who was about to get angry.

In ancient times, there was no entertainment at night, and the three of them went to bed early.
