Chapter 68: Peach Grove

During the horseback trip, Li Si chatted with He Zhong, and after chatting for a while, the two sides became acquainted with each other, and they let go a lot.

Li Si chatted with him and found that this little old man was a very interesting person, and he knew from his mouth that when he was young, he was idle, thought of himself very highly, and no one looked down on him. When he reached middle age, he did not achieve anything, and he did not marry a wife.

By the time he came to his senses, he was in his forties, and at this age he had achieved nothing, and no woman had anything to look up to him, so he had to live on his horse, which he had bought with money when he was ready to travel.

"I regret it!" Speaking of this, He Zhong sighed, then shook his head again, and said with a smile: "But it's nothing, I've been wandering for most of my life, and I don't want a mother-in-law to take care of me." It's not bad to go anywhere like this, even if you die on the way. ”

"Driving~"

He Zhong laughed after speaking, and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the carriage suddenly became faster again.

Li Si pondered slightly, he was a little touched by He Zhong's words, but he didn't know what to say.

At the same time, he wanted to laugh a little in his heart, he estimated that he would have to deal with monsters and ghosts all the time in the future, and getting married and having children would only be an extravagant hope for him, harming others and himself, and he was afraid that he would have the same ending as He Zhong.

Shaking his head slightly, Li Si threw this thought aside, there is wine today and drunk today, who can say what will happen in the future.

It's just that when the two chatted at this time, they didn't find that a man in a red leather jacket was standing on the roof of the carriage with his waist hooked, with a gloomy face, he cautiously walked to the edge of the carriage, and slowly stretched out two dead blue palms to cover He Zhong's eyes.

…………

"Hey...... The old guy went wrong, this way. On the way, He Zhong suddenly shouted and hurriedly pulled the reins.

"Boom......," the horse neighed, and with some restlessness, he stepped on the spot with his four hooves.

Seeing this, He Zhong immediately got out of the carriage, walked to the side of the colt, gently stroked its hair and neck, and hummed an unknown song on his mouth.

To Li Si's surprise, the horse quickly calmed down from his anxiety, and he knew a little in his heart that this might be a means of training horses.

"Li Xianggong can't help it, my horse hasn't come out for a while, and I'm a little anxious." After pacifying the horse, He Zhong looked at Li Si apologetically.

"Nothing." Li Si nodded slightly.

Then He Zhong got into the carriage and continued to drive the horse forward.

Li Si watched the scenery around him recede from the carriage, and he was also a little tired.

After all, he hadn't slept well last night, and when he was sleepy, he took out a set of clothes from his bookcase, put them on the back of his head, and began to fall asleep.

Immediately afterwards, a boy flew out of Li Si's chest, and the air in the carriage suddenly became a little colder.

He Zhong shivered in front, glanced back at Li Si, and saw that he was asleep, so he gently twitched the horse's buttocks, and the carriage suddenly slowed down a little and stabilized a lot.

They were walking through the forest, where the temperature was high in some places and low in others. So just now, the sudden cooling down He Zhong didn't take it to heart.

The boy in the carriage looked at He Zhong with curious eyes, stared at him in the eyes, and after looking at him for a while, he lost interest.

After retracting his gaze at He Zhong, he sat next to Li Si, looking out of the window at the scenery outside, with a look of joy in his eyes.

As the sun grew hotter, the sound of cicadas and other unknown insects in the forest grew louder.

After about an hour or two of travel, it was noon, and the carriage stopped in a place shaded by a large tree.

When the carriage stopped, Li Si's body leaned forward due to inertia, and he immediately woke up.

"Li Xianggong, let's rest first and eat something." He Zhong, who was in front, turned around and said to Li Si.

Li Si answered, yawned, stretched, took the dry food and gourd from the bookcase and walked down from the carriage.

And when He Zhong saw Li Si coming down, he wiped a piece of bluestone with a sweat towel, turned back to him and said, "Li Xianggong, sit here." ”

"Uncle Ho is gracious." Li Si smiled at He Zhong, and then sat down on the bluestone.

After he sat down, He Zhong also sat down, and said to Li Si while eating dry food: "This is Jingning County further on, it will take about a three-day drive, there are a few folk posts on this journey, we just stay at the nearby folk posts every night during this time." ”

Li Si nodded slightly, and asked He Zhong, "How far is the nearest Minyi from us?" ”

"I'll be there before midnight today." He Zhong said without thinking.

Hearing He Zhong say this, Li Si nodded and continued to eat dry food.

"Suo Suo ......" Suddenly, at this time, a small sound came.

Li Si looked towards the voice, and saw a black-brown snake swimming in the grass behind him.

As soon as he saw the snake, he was startled and immediately stood up.

And at this time, He Zhong also saw the snake, immediately put down the dry food in his hand, took three steps and two steps, and caught up with the snake at once, and slapped the snake head quickly, pressing the snake's head to the ground.

When the snake's head was pressed to the ground, the snake's body began to curl up.

After He Zhong pressed the snake's head, he slowly contracted his palm to pinch the snake's neck, and at the same time grabbed the snake's tail with his other hand.

Li Si couldn't help but look at him a few more times, with such a fast reaction speed, it was obvious that he had also practiced a few hands when he was a ranger.

"Hey, good luck, this black snake has more than a pound, and it can eat meat today." After grabbing the snake, He Zhong smiled, walked to the back of the carriage, took out a small bamboo basket from the sundries and put it in.

After putting the snake into the bamboo basket, He Zhong closed the lid and explained with a smile to Li Si: "Li Xianggong, the folk post in front of you is all ordinary wild vegetables, and they don't smell like meat. ”

"But with this black snake, it's good to go back and let the cook take the green pepper at the Minyi for a while, and get you more when the time comes."

"No, I don't like snakes." Li Si smiled apologetically and continued to eat dry food, he really didn't have any pursuit of this game.

He Zhong scratched his head a little embarrassed, and suddenly he seemed to see something, so he pointed in a direction, and shouted in some surprise: "Li Xianggong, look what is over there." ”

Li Si was a little strange, so he turned his head and looked carefully in He Zhong's direction, but he saw that there was a peach forest on the other side of the small conglin on the side of the road. There were so many peach trees that you could see the peaches on the trees from here.

The reason why the peach had rained before was that it was still stained with rain, which was extremely tempting and delicious.

These peach trees had been blocked by roadside trees before, otherwise they would have discovered such a large peach grove a long time ago.

Li Si and He Zhong looked at the peach, and then at the dry food, and suddenly felt that the dry food tasted like chewing wax.

At the same time, Li Si also felt a little surprised, this peach forest must have peach wood, maybe the magic weapon to exorcise evil spirits in the future has been lost.
