Growth Volume Chapter 100: Night Attack in the Mountains
Later, several people met on the street.
Yang Yuzhi went to visit the wine shop, not only got drunk, but also filled the wine jug on his body.
He was like this, his face was red, his steps were a little floating, and he had to be helped to hurry, but if someone helped him to walk, he couldn't walk fast, in that case, he wouldn't be able to travel much in a day.
Zhao Zhongzhi was lamenting that his eldest brother was addicted to alcohol, and he had no intention of catching a glimpse of the stable on the side, so he immediately thought of an idea, went to the stable and led a horse, looked forward to coming to the groom, talked about a business, gave him two hundred copper Wenbei, and sent the groom away!
Zhao Zhongzhi led the horse over and asked Zhou Dayou and Wang Benzhi, who were supporting Yuzhi, to slowly move him to the horse, so that the trip would not be delayed.
So, the group hit the road again.
On the road.
Leng Mian walked slowly, he looked at the iron dagger, and said calmly, "City Lord." β
"What's wrong?"
"To be honest, I really don't understand, why did you give me a gift, city lord?"
After smiling slightly, the city lord said, "This, do you really want to know that much?"
"Hmm. β
"Actually, it doesn't mean anything else, it's just that you can accompany you, so I'll give it to you. β
"Oh, that's it, I thought the city lord was starting to care about me!"
"What? Is this important?"
"Of course it's important, the relationship with the official, even if it's not good for now, it will be beneficial for the future sooner or later. β
"You kid, although you are small, your heart is not small!" Zhao Zhongzhi said while laughing, patting his cold face.
"That is, in this life, you have to think more about yourself. β
After hearing this, the city lord was silent, and when he began to get used to it, he asked, "Then who will you be selfless to?"
"What?" Leng Mian didn't quite understand, and he scratched his head.
"That is to say, is there anyone you particularly cherish, the kind of person who makes you risk your life to protect, do you have such a person in your heart?"
Leng Mian thought about it, and replied, "Yes!"
"Who...... Who...... Ahh
The city lord's question was intermittent, and he seemed to be looking forward to this result!
"Tomoko. β
"Tomoko, why is it him, not your mother?"
"Well!" Leng Mian scratched his temples with his index finger and looked at the sky, "I don't know, in short, I just think that the days with Tomoko are the happiest, of course, not all the time, he is sometimes weird and annoying, and he talks upside down, I don't like to listen, and I try to make me angry!"
"Even so, is he still someone you hold dear?"
"Well, yes, the feeling for him is probably that he doesn't want to lose. β
"Oh, that's the kind of indispensable friend!"
"Hmm. β
Zhao Zhongzhi smiled and whispered: "This is not too bad!"
After that, there was not much gossip on the road, they walked a big road and would not pass through the ancient city of Bayin, so at night, they would sleep in the wilderness.
A few hours later, when it was dark, they had crossed the suspension bridge, the locks swaying with a clanging sound, and the only sound of horses' hooves was heard very clearly in the mountains.
At this time, a heavy fog drifted from nowhere, which quickly flooded the entire mountain, and with it, an inexplicable chill hit.
It didn't take long for several people to start shaking, and they couldn't help but rub their arms together and stomp their feet.
In this case, Zhao Zhongzhi took out two pieces of flint, found some dry grass and some thick wooden strips on the ground, and then piled them into a pyre, and used flint and steel to beat on them.
Ding Ding Ding β
After a few blows, the sparks came out, and they put that little bit on the grass, and with a light blow, the fire burned, and several people sat down quietly around the fire.
The horses also leaned over, and the rain was carried down and leaned against the fire.
After a while, their bodies gradually warmed up, and the trembling on their bodies disappeared.
Zhao Zhongzhi looked up at the dark mountain and sighed helplessly: "It seems that today I have to spend the night in this cold mountain." β
At this time, Yang Yuzhi said a drunken word: "Wine, give me wine!"
His hands fluttered twice, and he lost his strength again, and fell to his stomach, and heβfell asleep again.
Zhao Zhongzhi looked at his eldest brother and couldn't help but shake his head, and then he said to everyone: "After a day of driving, everyone is hungry, there is some dry food in the bag, let's take it out and eat." β
"Hmm. β
After everyone responded, they all went to the bag to get dry food, and they took out the dry food from the bag and stuffed it into their mouths, which can be regarded as satisfying their hunger.
Leng Mian hid the edamame in his arms, so that he could keep it and give it to Youzi and Chu Zhengchun.
After they had eaten, they sat down for a while in front of the fire, drowsy, and they took out the quilt from their knapsacks, and began to lay it on the ground, when there was a sound of footsteps from the quiet darkness, and the footsteps were getting louder and louder, and I don't know what was approaching.
Everyone was going to sleep, but they all heard the footsteps, and they were all nervous, and their eyes looked in the direction from which the footsteps came.
The cold face stared at the big eyes, with a frightened face, he swallowed his saliva, not so calm, Zhao Zhongzhi on the side was also in a cold sweat, he thought: "In addition to ten thousand magpies in this magpie mountain, are there any other strange beasts?"
City Lord Zhao tensed his nerves, his eyes were observing the darkness, and suddenly, he seemed to see that thing, only to see his face startled, and shouted: "Get out of the way!"
As soon as the words fell, a dark shadow burst out of the darkness, flashed a few times in everyone's eyes, and then pounced on their faces.
Before anyone could react, the thing had already scratched off an arm.
Immediately after, a scream of pain rang out.
It was the soldier who was wounded, the wound was flat, as if it had been cut by a sharp weapon, and at this time, he fell to the ground and screamed, and his broken arm fell beside him, and his wound was spurting blood from his mouth.
Seeing this, Wang Benzhi quickly ran to his side, tore off the cloth on his body, and bandaged his wounds.
When everyone saw the situation, their hearts were full of shock, and no one knew what would happen next?
At this moment, the dark shadow hiding in the darkness appeared in front of everyone, it was a white fox the size of a cow, with two small sharp horns on its back, and the sharp claws on its feet, there was striking red blood.
It looked like this guy had cut off the soldier's hand.
Speaking of which, the fox's name was Chenghuang, and they lived in a place called Bai Min, and they were used to moving in the dark, and when they galloped, they were like a gale.
Cheng Huang stared at Zhao Zhongzhi and his party, his eyes were full of hostility, he arched his mouth to reveal a sharp mouth, like a vicious dog, and his mouth made a terrible whirring.
Leng Mian was scared when he saw Cheng Huang, he hurriedly hid behind the city lord, and the rest of the people were also sweating in their hearts.
Suddenly, Cheng Huang's front feet moved, and he was about to rush up to bite someone, but at this moment, a call came from the darkness: "Stop, Xiao Huang!"
This sound worked, and Cheng Huang stopped, did not attack again, but turned his head behind him.
The city lord and his party stared at the darkness, not knowing what kind of guy would come, maybe a good person, but maybe a bad person, they didn't know, they could only say, I hope nothing happens tonight!
Tonight in the mountains, it's really not as quiet as usual, before dawn, I wonder what else will happen?
