Chapter 396: Insects against insects
More than ten miles away from Lanxian County, there is a place for passers-by to rest, a pergola built with simple wooden planks, and the old people in the nearby Zhuangzi are generally invited to come over and boil some hot water.
In the heavy rain, a carriage came and stopped on the side in a muddy posture, and a thin woman jumped down from it, although she was dressed in white, the style in the details was obviously different from that of the Central Plains, but there were many people of all nationalities in Lanxian County, and of course it would not cause the surprised eyes of the old man in the tea shed.
"Let's have a pot of hot tea, is there anything you can eat?" The crescent moon's gaze swept around the pergola, and caught two tables of people sitting in the innermost, a few ordinary cotton clothes on the outside, each of them were strong men, each carrying a big knife at their waists, and there were only two people at the table in the middle, dressed not luxuriously but also exquisitely, and the elegant style of the literati could be seen in their gestures.
The old man in the tea shed poured boiling water into the teapot, nodded and said with a smile: "The shed is simple, only some dried beef and white steamed buns, I don't know if you want to use some?" ”
The crescent moon thought for a while, and took out the silver from her sleeve pocket: "Ten catties of beef plus twenty white steamed buns." ”
"There is Lan County more than ten miles ahead, you can't eat too much." The old man kindly reminded.
The crescent moon waved her hand and handed the silver two over: "It's okay, you just go and get it." She didn't plan to stay in Lanxian, she had been delayed for many days along the way, and the thief couple in the middle was making a lot of noise, so it was better to go back early.
When the old man saw that she insisted on doing so, he didn't say anything more, but turned around and went in to prepare something.
The crescent moon's gaze crossed with the two tables in the tea shed, she walked to the outermost table and sat down to wait, seeing that she had no other behavior, the people inside looked at each other, and continued to turn back to drink tea and eat.
Inside the carriage, the sugar pill and Chu Feng were lying 'weakly', every time the effectiveness of the soft tendons was about to be lost, the crescent moon would definitely let the astrolabe open their mouths in time, and in the end, Chu Feng had already taken the initiative to eat quietly, anyway, it was also a knife to stretch out his head and shrink his head, dignified Young Master Chu, how could he ask a woman to suppress it.
With the sound of rain dripping, Chu Feng watched the crescent moon get out of the carriage and said to the sugar pill: "How long will it take to get from here to Southern Xinjiang?" ”
It stands to reason that they should have arrived in Lanxian County before Mu Beichen and his party, but the crescent moon got lost, and it took two days to turn around in a mountain before they came out. This is good, Chu Feng and Sugar Pill in the carriage were dizzy, and they hadn't eaten yet, and the hungry two people felt what it meant to be hungry for the first time, and this time they didn't need to be soft, and they couldn't run.
Sugar Pill leaned on the window and looked out: "It's going to be more than twenty days." "From Lanxian to the south, and then through the border of Jingnan, you have to break through a dense forest, which is the chassis of southern Xinjiang.
I heard that there is a perennial miasma, and there are all kinds of poisonous snakes, insects, rats and ants, so once they go deep into the center of the forest, the people of the Central Plains do not dare to approach, so that the southern Xinjiang and the Central Plains maintain a long-term 'peace'.
"Little Sugar, do you want to sleep in a vat?" Chu Feng stretched his legs, curled up in the carriage all day, he was almost moldy and stiff.
Sugar Pill dipped his fingers in the rain that fell on the windowsill, and said flatly: "I don't listen to you, the stupidest Central Plains person." ”
Chu Feng's face darkened, although he didn't actually take into account his physical problems last time, which led to the failure of the plan, how could he overturn a boatload of people with one rod, "I'm going to correct you once, I call it a mistake, not stupid." ”
"Well, stupid Central Plainsman." Sugar Pill tilted her head, thinking that the title was appropriate.
Chu Feng held his breath, stretched out his hand, forget it, didn't bother with her little braid, pulled the small braid of the sugar pill, and said with a smile: "Did you see the person standing outside?" ”
Sugar Pill stretched out his neck and pulled his hair, and there was a pain from the handful that was grabbed by Chu Feng, and the two of them had no strength now, otherwise they might tear off a few, and Sugar Pill was very dissatisfied and stepped on Chu Feng with his toes, and then raised his chin and stretched out of the carriage curtain.
In the pergola, the first few people who had finished eating and rested, and walked out one after another, and one of the two people at the table took some silver taels for the old man, and the other stood in the pergola for the time being, waiting for the others to pull the carriage over.
Sugar Pill looked at it for a long time and didn't see anything, aren't they just two ordinary Central Plains people?
"The one on the left, if my guess is correct, is the official." Chu Feng pointed to the front, it was the middle-aged man standing alone watching the rain.
Sugar Pill wrinkled his nose: "Don't lie to me, this is not the official robe of the Central Plains." "She has also seen a few officials as an official, such as Chu Feng's father, the clothes are obviously not of this standard, and there will be some cranes and birds embroidered on them.
Chu Feng slowly moved over, leaned on the side of the sugar pill, knocked her forehead, and said with a look on his face: "Obviously, if he either came to take over, he would have paid a private visit to Weifu." ”
Sugar Pill held her chin with both hands, very unhappy that Chu Feng always knocked her forehead, and Rong Ruo, the hateful Central Plains person, was knocked out by them on her broad forehead, "How can you tell?" ”
Chu Feng moved his nose, his index finger swept under his nose, hooked his sparkling peach blossom eyes, and raised his eyebrows with a smile: "Naturally, it smells it." ”
Sugar Pill looked like he wanted to believe it or not, rolled his eyes to the middle, turned into a cross-eyed disdainful look and said: "Dog nose, stick green onions, sneeze, watery." ”
"That's not the point." Chu Feng stretched out his hand and grabbed it in front of her, snapped his fingers and said, "Our chance has come." ”
What chances? That's certainly a chance to escape!
The old man in the pergola took out the wrapped beef and steamed buns, a whole big bag, saw the crescent moon's thin body, and said kindly: "Girl, the things are ready, I'll help you send the carriage up." ”
The crescent moon took it from his hand and said, "No, I can do it myself." ”
The old man watched the crescent moon easily carry his things back to the carriage, and muttered, "The little girl now is really amazing." "Looking at the people who can't lift two or two things in their hands, I didn't expect that my strength is so great.
The middle-aged man who happened to be standing next to him heard it, and said with a smile: "This girl has kung fu, so it's natural to mention this." ”
"No wonder, She's a powerful little girl." The old man sighed again, and turned to clean up the things on the table.
As soon as the crescent moon stepped onto the carriage, another carriage also drove over, and was about to pass by, when something black suddenly flew out of the crescent carriage, aiming at the middle-aged man under the pergola.
"It's not good, protect your lordship!" He subconsciously shouted that he had been standing beside the middle-aged man, and the person was already in front of him.
Several strong men in cotton clothes drew their broadswords and rushed over, staring at the crescent moon and her carriage.
Crescent frowned, and threw things onto the carriage, "The astrolabe is connected." He leaped up the carriage bar, through the rain, grabbed two fingers, and then bent and fell to stand on a wooden post outside the pergola.
This series of movements was very fast, even a few strong men didn't react, let alone the middle-aged man who didn't have kung fu, everyone looked at the crescent moon very vigilantly, and the middle-aged man next to him subconsciously reached out and touched the position of his chest, as if there was something important there.
"It's just a bug." The crescent moon stretched out its two fingers, and everyone clearly saw a black thing like a horse beetle twisting and struggling between her fingers, the crescent flicked her hand, and the insect fell to the ground, and was immediately washed into a small puddle of mud by the heavy rain, motionless, and had become a dead insect.
The middle-aged man exhaled, his face eased, and he bowed his head to the crescent moon: "Several of my subordinates are too nervous, girl, please don't mind." ”
The crescent moon didn't look at him, and replied, "It's okay." He turned and flew off the stake and landed on top of his carriage.
The astrolabe had already taken a steamed bun and was gnawing on it, and when he saw the crescent moon coming back, he chewed the steamed bun and said vaguely: "Crescent moon, there are also big insects here, bigger than the insects in our southern Xinjiang." ”
The crescent moon grabbed her wrist and stuffed the steamed bun into her mouth, successfully closing the astrolabe, and shaking the reins of the carriage with both hands, the horse shook its legs and galloped in the rain.
After walking a distance, the crescent moon handed over the reins to the astrolabe, lifted the curtain of the carriage and walked in, looked at the two people lying on the ground in a strange posture, sat next to him and poured a cup of tea idly, and said: "If you are disobedient again, you will lie down like this in the future to southern Xinjiang." ”
When the bugs flew out, the crescent moon knew that it was the sugar pill and Chu Feng restless again. Although the crescent moon and astrolabe had already searched the bottles and jars on the sugar pill along the way, she was the personal disciple of the head of the Five Poisons, and she still had the ability to domesticate some insects that could be driven anytime and anywhere. However, the crescent moon has taken a deserted road all the way, and she feels that the little trick of the sugar pill is insignificant to her, so she has always ignored it.
The crescent moon knocked on the low table in front of it with its finger bones with its backhand, and a small green insect flew out with its wings and circled around the crescent. At the same time as the crescent moon catching insects, she also drove her own Gu worms, causing Sugar Pill and Chu Feng to return again.
Sugar Pill stuck one foot on the windowsill of the carriage, maintaining a funny posture, the arrogant little mood was very uncalm, and the big black eyes were about to stare out of a pit - ugly monsters, you have the ability to untie me, we will fight three hundred times.
When Chu Feng released the worms from the sugar pill, he was tricked by the sugar pill and pulled the corner of his clothes, causing him to slip, and the person fell backwards, and now he is still lying on the ground, one foot is raised to the sky, and the other foot is straight against the carriage floor, and the personable handsome man sighed helplessly in his heart - one day, his reputation will be ruined in the hands of the sugar pill.
The crescent moon stood up and admired it for a long time, stretched out her hand, gathered half a circle in mid-air, gathered the little green insects, and nodded: "It's much quieter like this, let's pass the next month like this." ”
Chu Feng winked at the sugar pill - didn't you say more than twenty days?
The sugar pill's eyes rolled - she only needs more than twenty days, who said that it is the footsteps of ordinary people, stupid Central Plains people!
