Chapter 70 (5) Wild Horror
2
Until dawn, it was safe and sound, and the wild wolves never came back, and in the morning everyone got up, lit the fire and cooked, and the hunter asked Jiang Yu Niang: "Sister, where are you going?" β
"Let's go to the old pavilion."
"Then you can go on another journey," Orion said enthusiastically, "Mr. Xu will go to Yuanhouzhai, and the two of them will ...... Anyway, you will go south from here, or go the same way, all the way to the black bamboo forest, and it will not be too late to break up. β
Walking in the mountains, a partner is the best choice, but although these people have adventures together, they are actually thinking about their own affairs and guarding against each other. Whether they are willing to partner or not, they all know in their hearts. The two cellar workers drank porridge and did not speak. Mr. Xu smiled and did not speak. Jiang Yuniang and the others did not squeak. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little awkward, Jiang Yuniang asked Orion: "Big brother, the black bamboo forest you mentioned is a village name, or is it a ......?"
"It is a bamboo forest, there used to be a village next to it, called the black bamboo village, a few years ago when the war, was looted and burned by the team, the remaining dozen families, all moved to the back of the mountain, the bamboo forest is rarely taken care of, are almost barren, I heard, recently the bamboo forest has gathered a lot of strong people, as well as the good man who cut the path, often haunted on that piece of ground, pedestrians passing by from the black bamboo forest, are more careful, some companions, some detours, when you get there, be careful."
"Okay, thank you, big brother."
The two cellar workers hurriedly drank a bowl of porridge, then said, "Let's go meet a friend first," and left first.
Mr. Xu said: "They don't want to go with us, I'm too lazy to go with such people, sister of the Jiang family, let's go together?" β
"Okay." Although Jiang Yuniang was reluctant to go with him, since he took the initiative to mention it, it was always difficult to refuse. She knew that this person was kind on the face, cunning on the inside, and the city government was very deep, especially after hearing Zhang Xiaoliu say that he took off his mask at night, she was even more suspicious, and she had quietly warned everyone to be more careful.
After eating, Jiang Yuniang and others said goodbye to the two hunters, the hunters were very enthusiastic, pointing out the road ahead in detail, and even which section of the road is close to the village, which piece is often infested with wild beasts, they all said very carefully, everyone thanked again and again, waved goodbye.
Along the way, Mr. Xu is very healthy and knows a lot about astronomy, geography, scenery and customs, just like a person who is accustomed to traveling from south to north. A few people talked and laughed, but it also saved loneliness. Da Yu and Ah Hu admired Mr. Xu more and more, because almost no question was asked, Mr. Xu could answer it fluently, and the two children circled around him, almost like a teacher.
Zhang Xiaoliu walked while quietly observing Mr. Xu's face, looking at it, but he couldn't see anything abnormal, when he was talking and laughing, his expression was also quite natural, and he drank water and ate at noon, and his face was not special.
When he went to fetch water in the creek, Zhang Xiaoliu quietly asked Jiang Yuniang: "I can't see that there is a mask, am I wrong at night?" β
"That's right," Jiang Yuniang said, "I also paid attention, he must be wearing a mask, but he is well disguised and can't be seen." Have you noticed, after a day and a night, the beard on his face has not grown at all, you men, the beard is growing every day, we Lao Xu, as long as you don't shave your face for a day, the stubble will grow two millimeters, you too, today's beard is longer than yesterday, but Mr. Xu's face has always been like this, no change. β
"Oh, yes, I really didn't expect it, it's really wrong." Zhang Xiaoliu patted his head.
"You have to be careful, don't keep staring at him, that will arouse suspicion."
Mr. Xu told Dayu and Ah Hu all kinds of stories about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms and Liu Guanzhang's war along the way, and the children were most interested in these and listened to them with relish, talking about Zhuge Liang's southern expedition, and met the barbarian soldiers who used rhinoceros elephants as soldiers and horses, Ah Hu said: "Although Zhuge Liang is a hero, he should not attack the south, that is bullying others." Besides, the southern Baiyue people did not ride elephants to fight. β
Mr. Xu glanced at Ah Hu strangely, "Are you Miao or Yi?" β
"Yes, I'm a Miao person."
"Haha, I said," Mr. Xu smiled, "you're fighting for your own people's pockets, that's right." However, the Romance of the Three Kingdoms, since it is a romance, there are many stories, all of which are made up. As for the Han and Baiyue people attacking each other, there is indeed a fact in history, and who is right and who is wrong is a matter of opinion. People of every nation must protect themselves against others. Just like Liu Bei, Sun Quan and Cao Cao, all the time, they are racking their brains to expand their territory and attack others, only in this way can they have a foothold. β
"That's not right," Ah Hu retorted, "how can you say that if you want to stand on your feet, you have to attack others?" Let's talk about Liu Guanzhang, the three of them are as good as one person, and I didn't see Liu Bei attacking Guan Yu and Zhang Fei, how good it is. However, Liu Bei, Sun Quan, and Cao Cao attacked each other, and all three were defeated. Therefore, it's better for everyone to be friends, you can't beat me, I'll beat you. β
Although Ah Hu's statement is naΓ―ve, it is also unique, so that the knowledgeable Mr. Xu does not know how to deal with it. In fact, Ah Hu often listened to his father say that Han Miao should be harmonious and so on, and he naturally thought in his mind that it was right for all ethnic groups to unite and be courteous, although Zhuge Liang was a hero, but it was not a good thing for him to send troops to attack the barbarians led by Meng Shu.
"yes, that's what happened." Heavy rain also supports Ah Hu.
Mr. Xu, Zhang Xiaoliu and others were amused, Mr. Xu naturally would not argue seriously with the two children, and was about to continue to speak, when he heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, turned around and looked, two horses trotted along the mountain road, and the horses' hooves stepped on the rocks, making a crisp sound. The two men on the horse were wearing undershirts, with open chests and open arms, hats on their heads, and a scimitar on each of their saddles.
This section of the mountain road is only three feet wide, and the two horses are in a hurry, Jiang Yuniang and the others dodge to the side to avoid it, Zhang Xiaoliu muttered dissatisfiedly: "The road is narrow, what's the hurry." β
The two horses galloped over, the man on the horse was very skilled, and the horse passed by the people, and the speed did not decrease at all, but he did not hit Ah Hu, Ah Hu said unconvinced: "What is the spirit, who still can't ride a horse." β
The man on the horse behind flicked his arm back, and the whip was whipped towards Ah Hu's head, Zhang Xiaoliu was furious, these two people saw that they didn't agree, so they beat up a child, what is it? He took a step forward, stretched out his hand, quickly grabbed the whip, and pulled it back, about to snatch the whip away.
Suddenly, Zhang Xiaoliu felt that his arm was loose, but it was Jiang Yuniang who pinched his elbow from behind, shook it slightly, Zhang Xiaoliu's hand was loosened, and the whip was already taken off, and Jiang Yuniang whispered: "Don't pay attention to him." (To be continued.) )
