Chapter 286: Two Heads? (1st Update)
At sunset on the second day, the four of them still didn't see where the royal court was—not to mention the royal court, even a small tribe of 100 people had never seen it.
Although he doubted whether he was moving in the wrong direction, Niu Wangqiu didn't say it, he had already noticed that not only himself, but also Dugu Duan and Hua Hate Liu also vaguely revealed their suspicions, since everyone was the same, he would naturally not be the one who offended Miss Yang.
Dugu naturally won't say it, not to mention that he is the most reluctant to open his mouth because he is not good at speaking, even if he is willing to speak, is it possible to judge the relationship between Hua Hate Liu and Yang Jian, do you still need to open your mouth?
Hua Hateliu's thoughts in his heart are different from those of him: one of them is old, and the other is suffering from mouth disease, which can be said to have taken up all the "old and weak diseases", if he speaks, I am afraid that he will be able to make up the word "disabled...... This is not unexpected, according to Yang Jian's temper, she is at most holding her breath when others say it, but if she says it herself, it gives her an excuse to "take a breath...... Hua hated Liu was not stupid, and he held back and didn't say anything.
What about Yang Jian herself? To put it bluntly, she was hesitant. She didn't know that in fact, the other three people chose the north because of her choice, so although she had doubts in her heart, she didn't dare to say it, and there were two concerns: first, if she asked questions, it was distrustful of the other three, after all, in addition to Hua Hate Liu, Niu Wangqiu was originally from Beidi, and he was the most familiar with Beidi among the four, and Dugu was broken...... No matter how he thought about it, he couldn't bear to hurt his self-esteem; Second, it is her own consideration - if she says that the direction is wrong, it is one thing to change the direction, and it is another thing to choose a new direction, and the point is that she does not know whether the new direction she chooses is the right direction, what if she is wrong again?
It was the four men, each who hid his own thoughts, but still rode his horse and headed north.
"Well......" After riding for a while, Niu Wangqiu took advantage of the time to slow down and cough lightly, and wanted to remind him a little, but after he coughed this time, he saw six rays of light gathering towards him, and he was stunned at first, but he changed his mind and sneered: "We, we have traveled five or six hundred miles, right?" ”
In response to him, there were six dimmed lights, but perhaps it was also because he had been holding back for too long and was uncomfortable, although Hua Hate Liu was disappointed, he also responded: "According to the horse's footsteps, there are at least five hundred miles to go......" Speaking of this, he paused slightly and said: "It's strange to say, the journey of this trip is not short, but no one ...... it" While saying, he peeked at Yang Jian's reaction, this behavior is completely a thief, after all, Yang Jian didn't know that Hua Hate Liu's words were only aimed at himself, but Hua Hate Liu still stopped his mouth in time.
He saw Yang Jian frowning.
was worried in his heart, but he heard Yang Jian speak: "Ahead...... What's wrong......"
When she said this, she didn't look at Hua Hate Liu and the others, but in Hua Hate Liu's opinion, this was tantamount to "You said the right direction" - go forward, what's wrong?
"There's nothing wrong with that, no!" Hua hated Liu while smiling, and sternly denied it.
The other two glanced at each other, one lowered his head and said, "The grass in this grassland is really verdant and lovely...... and the other did not say a word, only looked at the sky and meditated.
"But I don't think there's anything going forward." Hua Hate Liu's words did not make Yang Jian's attitude turn to ease, but his brows furrowed even tighter.
"How...... How could it be ......" Hua Hate Liu said in a panic, "The grassland is already vast and sparsely populated, don't say that it's only a day to go forward, sometimes wandering in this vast world for more than a month, then you can't see people, isn't it the same normal......"
"But I seem to see people...... I'm not sure if it's a human ......."
"How...... What did you say? Hua Hate Liu was going to continue pretending, but after reacting to what Yang Jian said, he hurriedly asked.
At this time, looking at the two people who were immersed in the beauty of nature and the other who were appreciating the way of heaven with their hearts, their eyes had already followed the direction that Yang Jian was looking for.
"Like...... What kind of little brute......" Niu Wangqiu looked into the distance in wonder and asked hesitantly.
There are not only people on the grassland, and there are not only cows, sheep, and horses, just like Hu Lai raised rabbits and chickens when he was wandering, and other animals can also appear in the grassland.
Niu Wangqiu is referring to the animal that already exists on the grassland - the grassland vole, which is slightly larger than the house mouse, especially good at burrowing, and likes to eat grass roots, and the treatment on the grassland is the same as the treatment of the house mouse in the Central Plains - everyone shouts and beats!
However, after saying that, Niu Wangqiu hesitated a little: he had also seen voles, the size was no more than the length of the palm, but the two in the distance seemed to be long enough, but some were beyond the wide range - in other words, it seemed that some of them were too round, could it be that they were fat?
This is only one of the suspicious, the other suspicious is that the vole is not a beast that likes to be "quiet", although it is hysterical and it can't make much noise, but it is not like the "two" in front of it is motionless, is it not to die?
Thinking about it like this, Niu Wangqiu didn't wait for others to question and denied it first: "That's not right...... Maybe it's two stones! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the thing in the distance, which had been mistaken for stone, moved, although not by much means, but judging from the eyes of the four people, it was absolutely not wrong - it did move.
"There are many strange things, but I have only heard of stones that fall from a high place, stones that are blown away by the wind...... I haven't seen or heard of a moving stone. Hua hated Liu, which would make him not as nervous as Fang Cai, and said with a chuckle: "It's not the same thing to guess like this, let's go, go over and have a look!" ”
After speaking, he took the lead in looking for the two round "stones" in the distance.
"Haha, the playboy is right, it's my magic barrier......" Niu Wangqiu laughed, I don't know if it was because Hua hated Liu and said "a word to wake up the dreamer" happy or just want to resolve the embarrassment. Without waiting for Yang Jian and Dugu to react, they followed Hua Hate Liu forward to look.
"Like ...... Like a head ......" Dugu, who had not spoken for a long time, saw that the two of them had walked out of a distance, and then said softly. "Elephant head" is just an abbreviation, he means the two round "stones" in the distance, like human heads.
For heads, Dugu has the most right to speak. Although he is not much older than Hua Hatliu and others, he has taken over the class that Gou will not have since he was a child, and has specialized in helping people solve some things that are not convenient to solve in the face - the reason why Gou will not do this is also helpless, after all, after being elected as the lord of a city, he can't run out every day, but this does not mean that he is cruel to his apprentices, first of all, for their lineage, killing people is the best experience, don't forget, how did the long knife known as "ten thousand people" that Dugu is carrying now get its name; On the other hand, in order to take care of Dugu Duan, who had just debuted, he was also strictly checked in the selection of tasks, and he was not stupid, so he couldn't take on a task that his apprentice couldn't do because of his reputation.
He has seen the human head on the neck Duguduan, and he has also seen the human head strung into strings, and he has seen the dead and unrecognizable appearance, and even the head that is broken into paste. The two in front of them were not the ones mentioned before, but the other two: either they were cut down by someone along the second cervical vertebrae, or they were dug deep and buried - their bodies buried in the earth, with only their heads exposed to the ground.
The former naturally has nothing to say, let alone the punishment, that is, there is a dispute in the rivers and lakes and a hatred, and it is not uncommon to cut off the other party's head, the latter one...... It is similar to a kind of capital punishment in the government - skinning. I haven't seen how to peel him with my own eyes, but there is an explanation among the people: bury a person in the soil, expose only one head, cut a cross with a knife on the top of the head, pull the scalp apart, and pour mercury into it. Due to the heavy gravity of mercury, it will pull the muscles and skin apart, and the person buried in the soil will writhe in pain, and will not be able to break free, and finally the body will jump out of the mouth of the congding, leaving only a piece of skin in the soil.
It is too shocking to say that "jumping out of the skin", but this set of skinning theory also has some truth, and Dugu Duan also thought to himself that if what he did was found out by the government, he was afraid that he would also be punished with a capital punishment like "skinning".
The two heads at the moment look like they have been skinned and tortured. I just don't know if there will be a body popping out of the soil in the next moment......
Curious, he followed after speaking.
Yang Jian naturally wanted to follow, but she was thinking about something else: where did she seem to have seen this thing in front of her......
"You say, how many strings of sugar gourds are there now?" Tian was not afraid to frown and look at the sky, not to look at the people beside him, but to open his mouth and ask.
"Perhaps...... There are no more! One of the people next to him sighed in response. This person is none other than the past.
"How could it be gone? I haven't touched it when I saw it! As soon as he heard this, Tian was not afraid and couldn't help but be a little angry, he wanted to get a word of comfort from the other party, but who knew that the other party didn't buy it at all.
"Mr. Great, I didn't say it, when you saw that it hadn't been moved, it was already a day ago. How long can a few strings of sugar gourds be eaten inhibitively? One person will eat it all without a cup of tea! When Wen said this, he was really polite, for fear that the sky would not be afraid and still have the idea of luck, so he simply continued to sprinkle salt.
"So...... ......Seeing that the other party was so determined, Tian was not afraid that he was a little shaken, but he remembered that he was an elder, and tried his best not to cry, but his words were not so smooth. "So" for a long time, after all, I felt that it was not good not to say anything, so I turned around: "In this way, I don't know what happened to Yuqing and sunspots......
"Definitely ......"
"How's Yuqing?"
Wen didn't finish his words, but he heard someone interrupt and asked Jiao Sheng. After the voice was heard, the sound of horses' hooves of "tuk tuk" was heard......
