Seeing this, Yuan Heng took the flint from his hand and began to teach Yang Liang how to use it: "The principle of flint and steel is that two stones hit each other to produce sparks, and then the fire primer is ignited, and finally an open flame is obtained. ”

Yuan Heng said as he quickly rubbed the flint and steel, and soon there were bursts of sparks, and Yuan Heng lit the fire primer soaked in flammable materials, threw the fire primer into the pile of dry wood, and soon a bonfire was lit.

Hanging the freshly washed wet clothes near the bonfire, Yuan Heng walked to the carriage again, only to see him leaning over and touching the bottom of the carriage, where there seemed to be a dark grid, only to hear a click, there was a sound of the dark grid opening, Yuan Heng groped in it for a while, and finally took it out...... An axe.

Yang Liang was really startled, he didn't expect Zhao Yiren to even prepare this, Yuan Heng took the axe, and took off the body of the wild boar to the side of the fire, only to see him swing the axe, cut the hard bones of the wild boar a few times, and cut off the front and rear legs of the pig, so the wild boar was separated into several large pieces by him.

Yang Liang was curious why he wanted to cut the wild boar, only to see that Yuan Heng found a few small wooden sticks that looked very strong, picked up the pork, and roasted it on the fire, and the black pig hair was burned in an instant, emitting an unpleasant smell of burnt proteins.

After processing all these pieces of meat like this, Yuan Heng naturally called Yang Liang and asked him to follow him to the creek to clean the pork.

He originally wanted to help Yuan Heng share the burden, picked up a pig's leg and prepared to go to the stream, but he didn't expect to overestimate his strength, and he didn't mention it all of a sudden, and was taken down by the heavy pig's leg, and almost fell into a dog and ate.

Seeing Yang Liang's appearance, Yuan Heng smiled helplessly, and only let him follow, but he walked towards the stream with one leg in each hand.

To say that Yuan Heng's handling of pork is still very professional, and the movements in his hands are clean and neat, Yang Liang even doubts whether he has done pig killing before, otherwise how could he be so professional.

Tucao is complaining, Yang Liang is still obediently assisting Yuan Heng on the side, rinsing the pork with clear stream water, although the hair of the wild boar is scary black, but after the hair is removed, the skin on the body is no different from ordinary pigs, it is all white and clean.

After processing all the pork, Yuan Heng picked a hind leg of the pig, set it up with a branch, and roasted it on the fire.

It was getting late, and Yuan Heng raised two more fires on the side, and the bright fire lit up around a bright light, and the stream was flowing not far away, and the silver moonlight sprinkled on the stream, which constituted a quiet picture.

Yang Liang is eating the roasted pork leg meat, although the seasoning at this time is very simple, basically only salt as a seasoning, but the fragrance of this wild boar is really greedy, and the meat quality is also because of the perennial exercise, it is very firm and full, and Yang Liang is very happy to eat.

In the past few days, I just ate jerky and pasta, although it is not difficult to eat, but I have eaten a few more times and it is the same as chewing wax, and I happened to catch a wild boar today, and I can relieve my cravings.

Yuan Heng was handling the rest of the pork, and he changed the pig's head into thin strips, coated it with salt, and marinated it like bacon, only after he hung the meat on the other two campfires, and let the fire roast directly at the salt-coated meat.

Yang Liang had never seen this kind of roasting method, and he asked curiously to know that the salt coated in Yuanheng was specially treated, and it was not easy to melt when roasted in case of fire, but it would form a protective film on the surface of the meat, delaying the time of meat decay, and when they hit the prey when they went out and didn't know how to deal with the meat that could not be eaten, they would use this method to preserve.

After hearing this, Yang Liang couldn't help but sigh at the wisdom of the ancients, he had only heard that bacon could be marinated with salt, but he had never seen this method of preserving food, and he couldn't help but be amazed.

After eating and drinking, Yuan Heng asked Yang Liang to go back to the carriage to sleep, while he stayed outside the carriage and watched the fire, so as not to sneak attack again at night.

Although Yang Liang felt a little embarrassed, he thought that he was just a child after all, and it was very reasonable to accept the care of adults in this way.

When Yang Liang got up the next day, he found that the carriage was already moving, Yuan Heng was sitting in front of him driving the carriage, there would be no clock, and he couldn't tell what time it was, he looked up at the sun above, Yang Liang probably judged that it should be about nine o'clock in the morning, and looked back, there was no longer the shadow of the stream and the woods, they were now traveling on a winding path, it seemed that Yuan Heng should have set off for a long time.

After sitting in the car and stretching, after a simple wash, Yang Liang got out of the car door and sat beside Yuan Heng.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, I have been in ancient times for so long, and as a child, I have been taking care of others, although I am a little embarrassed, but this kind of clothes to reach out for food to open my mouth still feels very good.

Looking at the pure natural ecological environment in front of him and breathing the fresh air that has not been polluted by the industrial society, Yang Liang had the idea for the first time that life in ancient times was actually very good.

Seeing Yang Liang come out of the carriage, Yuan Heng thought he was bored again, so he began to talk to Yang Liang about his previous deeds again.

Last time, I said that Yuan Heng was hired to be a killer, but a wild boar suddenly rushed out and interrupted their conversation, for Yang Liang, the profession of killer only exists in novels and TV series, and he has never seen it alive, so he is very interested in Yuan Heng's career experience after becoming a killer.

Although Yuan Heng didn't understand why Yang Liang was so interested in his experience as a killer, at that time, the profession of killer could be said to be relatively lowly, although they all made money through professional skills, but because killers were taking people's lives, the masses were afraid and looked down on them.

At this time, the profession of killer has not been beautified by later books and film and television dramas, and the overall image is still very negative, so Yuan Heng only thinks that the reason why Yang Liang is so excited is that the curiosity of children is relatively heavy.

Although Yuan Heng's martial arts are very strong, the purpose of killers is to make money, and many times the killers are just ordinary people, and the princes and nobles have their own swordsmen, so naturally they don't have to find another killer.

The first task Yuan Heng received, in fact, was very ordinary and bloody, it was a man, because his wife hooked up with a neighbor, so he hired Yuan Heng to kill his neighbor, at that time Yuan Heng had just experienced the pain of losing his relatives, so it can be said that he didn't even blink his eyes when he killed people.

Thinking back on this incident now, Yuan Heng's face was full of remorse and sadness, he said that although he was killing people with money, but the person who was killed, he also had his own family and relatives, and he took people's lives at will, what is the difference between him and the tyrannical King Zhao in his opinion?

However, at that time, Yuan Heng obviously didn't understand this truth, he kept continuing the business of killing, and killed more than 50 people in two years, among these people were good people in the secular sense, and there were also people who were traitors, but Yuan Heng never hesitated to kill them.

What really made Yuan Heng give up the path of a killer was that once he received a task to kill a man, but just before he started, he saw this man's little daughter, the child was innocent and ignorant, not only was he not afraid of Yuan Heng, but also greeted him happily, Yuan Heng gave up killing the man, and later gave up the profession of killer, because every time he picked up the sword and wanted to stab an innocent person, he would think of the little girl's pure and ignorant eyes.

Later, Yuan Heng wandered around, knowing that he had met a group of people from the Mo family, and they learned about his experience in small talk with Yuan Heng, and learned that he had a common enmity with King Zhao, so they included Yuan Heng in their team and prepared to assemble to assassinate King Zhao.

Although Yuan Heng knew that these people let him join because they liked his martial arts, he had nowhere to go, so he followed these Mo family members back to Handan, and together with other people who had been persecuted by King Zhao, secretly plotted how to assassinate King Zhao.

And their latest progress, which can also be said to be the greatest hope, is now pinned on Zhao Yiren.

After listening to Yuan Heng's career summary, Yang Liang's heart was full of turmoil, he didn't expect Yuan Heng to look so young, but he had already experienced so many things, no wonder he was usually silent and didn't like to talk, probably because he had too many things in his heart.

After Yuan Heng said this, he seemed to fall into a memory, and the atmosphere between the two suddenly became a little awkward, and at this time, a small figure suddenly jumped in front of the two's carriage.

The incident happened suddenly, Yuan Heng could only try his best to tighten the reins, but the horse was frightened, did not control it for a while, and the front hooves still kicked the child's body, the child fell to the ground instantly, and Yuan Heng had already controlled the horse.

The two hurriedly got out of the carriage and went to check on the child, who was dirty, his hair was also messy, and his face was blue, as if he had been abused.

Yang Liang noticed that although after the horse's hooves stepped on the child's chest just now, he immediately fell to the ground, as if he was stunned by the horse's kick, but under the coverage of his eyelids, he could clearly see that his eyes were spinning nervously, and the breathing in his chest was also jagged, not like he was fainting, but like he was pretending.

Yang Liang's first reaction was, good guy, is this the ancient version of the porcelain scene? Even the children came out to touch the porcelain, and they didn't even let go of their dilapidated carriages, which was really mad.

Since Yang Kun could see that this child was pretending to be dizzy, then Yuan Heng could naturally see that he and Yang Liang looked at each other, and saw the cunning color in Yang Liang's eyes, and sure enough, in the next second, Yang Liang stretched out his hand to the child's armpit and scratched it a few times.

"Hahahahahaha

"I know you're pretending, let's say, why are you touching porcelain?" Yang Liang and Yuan Heng looked at each other proudly, then turned his head to look at the child sitting on the ground, and asked with a serious face.

"What does it mean to touch porcelain?" The child asked with a confused expression, and Yuan Heng was also confused, saying that he had never heard this word.

Yang Liang reacted at this time, yes, it is now in ancient times, they don't understand the meaning of touching porcelain, so they had to clear their throats to relieve the embarrassment, and just wanted to open their mouths to explain to this child, but he turned his head and hugged Yuan Heng's thighs, shouting: "Righteous man save me!" ”

Yuan Heng and Yang Liang were both blinded, and they didn't know what kind of medicine this kid was selling in the gourd, so they had to help him up first, although he said that he was not injured, but he was also kicked by a horse just now.

After the child was helped up, his mood eased a little, and then explained that he was originally a child from this nearby village, and one day he was playing outside until late and did not come home, and met a few strangers asking for directions, and he was kind enough to show them the way, but they led him farther and farther, and finally simply tied him up and locked him in a small black room, and there were dozens of children with him, and they probably were all tied up in this way.

Those people locked them in the room, only one meal a day, and scolded at every turn, he was locked up like this for three days, and then they secretly ran out while they were not paying attention, and they didn't know the specific location, and they were afraid of being caught back, so they could only run aimlessly, but he didn't expect to meet Yuan Heng and Yang Liang just now, he saw them driving the carriage, and felt that it should be someone with status, so he came up with the idea of stopping the carriage and asking for help.

Yang Liang and Yuan Heng were shocked after hearing what he said, isn't this just a naked kidnapping?!

I heard him say that there are other children who have been arrested together, and these people are human traffickers.

Yang Liang didn't expect that this trafficker had been there so early, and he didn't know what to say for a while, but Yuan Heng was experienced, and guessed that if they found that there were fewer people, they would definitely send someone to find them, so it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time, so he let the child get into the carriage and prepared to take him away first.

Yang Liang and the kid sat there and looked at each other, he looked a lot taller than Yang Liang, he should be about ten years old, but his face was yellow and thin, and he looked very bad.

Although the carriage looks relatively broken on the outside, and the interior decoration is relatively ordinary, it is very neatly cleaned, and the child is dirty, and he feels a little cramped to sit in it.

Yang Liang didn't know how to get along with him, so he had to sit awkwardly next to him, pretending to look out the window.

The sound of "cooing" sounded suddenly, and the child covered his stomach in embarrassment, and the embarrassed blush could be vaguely seen from his dirty face.

Yang Liang pushed a plate of pastries on the table to him, motioned for him to eat, whispered thank you, and the child stretched out his hand to grab a piece of pastry and began to eat.

Yang Liang poured him another glass of water, patted him on the back, and told him to eat slowly.

After he was full of food and drink, he wiped his mouth, burped again, and looked at Yang Liang, and both of them laughed.

Looking at this child's yellow face, Yang Liang couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable, so he asked his name, where is home?

I plan to send him back with Yuan Heng to save my family from worrying.

Speaking of his family, and thinking of the frightened experience in the past few days, the child finally couldn't help but cry, and after he recovered from his sadness, he wiped his tears and told Yang Liang his name and address.

"My name is Chen Lu, I am from Chenjia Village, not far from here, just cross the hill in front, and then the two heroes will put me near there and get off."

Chen Lu pointed to the mountain in front of him that didn't look very high, according to Yang Liang's experience in the past few days, although such a mountain didn't seem very far, it would take at least a day and a night to walk, so it was estimated that he would have to wait until two days after tomorrow to cross that mountain.

I heard Chen Lu say just now that he escaped from a small black house, and those who can do such things as abducting and selling children are generally extremely vicious criminals, and once they find someone escaping, they will definitely catch up, and they kidnapped Chen Lu near Chenjia Village, and they will definitely follow this route to Chenjia Village to find it.

If they find out late, it's fine, and if they find out sooner, there's a good chance they'll catch up, and there's probably going to be a vicious fight at that time.

Yang Liang told Yuan Heng his thoughts, he listened thoughtfully, thought for a while, for the sake of safety, decided not to take the original route, instead from the west side of the mountain bypass, although there is a small city there, it may be necessary to verify the pass, but those people because they are traitors, so they definitely don't want to deal with the officers and soldiers, they will definitely not take the road that passes through the small city, and there are many people in the city, and it is relatively safer.

Yang Liang also felt that this approach was more appropriate, so Yuan Heng picked up a graphite pen and scribbled on the map, drawing a new route.

The small city they were going to detour to was called Lucheng, because it was built on the side of the mountain and backed by the river, so it was different from the gray style of other cities in the Wei Kingdom, and Lucheng had a bit of the gentleness of the water town in the south of the Yangtze River.

There is a large forest near Lucheng, and the forest is suitable for the growth of various animals, among which there are a large number of deer, the venison meat is delicious, and the antlers can be used for medicine, so the local deer-related specialties are very famous, so it is named Lucheng.

Because of the limitation of the terrain, the area of Lucheng is not large, only about the same size as the modern half of the county, but because of the good environment and abundant products, the local people are mostly engaged in business and are very rich.

Of course, these are all from Chen Lu, and the Chenjia Village where he is located is also under the jurisdiction of Lucheng, but because the location is relatively remote, the control is relatively loose, and the taxes and the like are not as high as the villages near the city, so the life in Chenjia Village is still relatively rich.

The three of them continued to hurry, Yuan Heng and Yang Liang were not particularly talkative people, Yuan Heng was caused by personality, and Yang Liang was because he was the soul of an adult, and he was afraid of blowing water to expose his identity, but Chen Lu was a person who could speak well, and he was especially good at observing words and feelings.

Although Yuan Heng and Yang Liang still used the same set of words when explaining their identities to him, he found that although Yang Liang was a child, Yuan Heng faintly respected him, so he secretly guessed in his heart that Yang Liang's identity should not be as simple as they said.

So he gave full play to his child's natural advantages, and soon got along with Yang Liang, although the old Jianghu Yuanheng saw at a glance that his mind was not pure, but seeing Yang Liang playing so speculatively with him, he didn't break his flattery.

Because of the next passing through Lucheng, you can supply some food in the city, so you don't have to worry about the pork stored before you will run out, and at night, Yuan Heng still chose an open place by the stream, stopped the carriage, set up a bonfire, roasted the pork, and sprinkled some spices, Yang Liang and Chen Lu both ate happily.

Especially Chen Lu, he ate this meal a few days ago, he was hungry to death, and such a good thing as meat, even if it is as rich as Chenjia Village, it is not available every meal, but it will only be prepared during the New Year's Festival.

So for him, such meat is even rarer.

After eating and drinking, the three of them rested for another night, and set off again the next day, but they didn't expect it to rain when it was almost noon, although there were many arid places in Wei Kingdom, but this Lucheng was a rare rain abundance, so it was normal to encounter a burst of rain.

Yang Liang and Chen Lu sitting in the carriage are nothing, although the carriage looks shabby, but it is specially reinforced, very waterproof and windy, so no matter how heavy the rain outside, the carriage is still safe and sound, but the Yuan Heng who is sitting outside and driving the horse is miserable, although there is a shelter in front of the carriage, but it can only block the drizzle, once the rain is a little heavier, the board to block the rain is useless.

Yuan Heng had to take out the rain gear from the carriage and put it on, but it was only a drop in the bucket, and what was even more troublesome was that the rain was too heavy, and the horse was frightened, and he actually stepped on the spot irritably, refusing to move forward.

Yuan Heng waved the whip a few times angrily and whipped it on the horse's body, but the horse's temper was like a donkey, and if he didn't move, he wouldn't move, no matter how Yuan Heng whipped, it just refused to take half a step forward, Yuan Heng had to put down the whip and sighed helplessly.

Although helpless, but can not just stalemate in the rain, I don't know when the rain will stop, if only one time is fine, if it is half a day, then it will definitely not be able to continue to hurry, you must find a place to rest and avoid the rain.

After asking Chen Lu, I learned that the weather in Lucheng is like this, because it is in the shade of the mountain, so the amount of rain is very sufficient, and it is often half a day at a time, so the expectation that the rain will stop after a while is disappointed, and they must stop and shelter from the rain now.

Yuan Heng looked around and found that there was a faint building not far away, probably a temple or something, maybe he could dodge it, so he turned over and dismounted, holding the reins, and comforted him for a while, before the horse hummed and gasped for breath, and spread his hooves to let Yuan Heng lead him in the direction of the building.
