Chapter Eighty-Six: Shocking
Before Poplar could answer, he saw a herd of wild beasts running out of the entrance to the ravine. There are wolves, tigers, foxes, wild boars, and many beasts that cannot be named and cannot be seen clearly. Summoned to something, the beasts broke through the fence and rushed straight to the tents.
Although King Xiaoyao and Hu Yi are both strong in martial arts, they are not afraid of these tiger beasts and jackals. But the gathering of dozens of beasts was still terrifying. I'm afraid they'll rush through the tent into the woods.
Turning his head to look at the poplar again, the bamboo pipe was still on his mouth. But it was not in a state of blowing, and the beast that rushed out of the ravine stood still a hundred or ten paces from the tent. The beast stood, but the people in the tent were disorganized. They all ran out of their tents, weapons in their hands. A few people roughly counted, and there were twenty or thirty people who ran out. The three of them thought that the imperial court was really concerned about these begging.
Just when the man in the tent and the beast opposite looked at each other. Poplar waved his hand, and the white powder flew out with the wind. The wind was blowing the powder along the ravine. The 30 or so people who were engrossed in watching the beast opposite all fell in a matter of seconds. The poplars were playing again, and the beasts were ignorant, and they turned around and ran into the ravine.
"Master, you are a god, aren't you? That bamboo pipe called me to blow and blow. Hu Yi said curiously.
"It's not serious, Poplar, are they all asleep?" The King asked.
"Lord Wang, you are questioning Miss Ben's ability. Go check it out now. Bai Yangjiao said with a smile.
"Miss, you are questioning the IQ of this king. There must still be something out of the tent. Now the past has exposed the target. It's not that we're afraid, but you don't want them to know that the beast was artificially summoned. The King of Joy also said with a smile.
"I said master, lord, don't show affection at this time. Someone really came out of the tent. Hu Yizhen said a little like a light bulb.
"Hu Yi, you don't have anything wrong with your eyes, right? The prince and I are showing affection, and at most we are sprinkling some dog food. Poplar said humorously and waved his hand again. The two men who had just come out of the tent fell silently.
"There is still poison powder that has not been dispersed."
"Lord Wang, it's not a poisonous fan this time, haven't you seen the wind direction change back? This is the poison needle that Miss Ben gave them. The effect is the same, except that the two people will sleep longer. Poplar rushed out of the woods with that.
The three men approached the tent on guard. There are three tents for people and one tent for cooking. Now it's all empty, and there are still rice, noodles, vegetables and meat in the cooking tent. Obviously, these people are going to stay here for a long time.
"It's a little strange, how can these three tents accommodate so many people?"
"Hu Yi, what's so strange about this, the only possibility is that today happened to be the handover, and we caught up. If this is not the case, then some people are here to carry out some kind of mission. Poplar said, his mood slightly heavy.
"Poplar is right, and this king thinks so too. But there are defenseless people called Hanako inside, could it be that the prince was stimulated by something? Take these people to put out the fire? ”
"Then it's not good, they shouldn't have come to kill people, right?" Hu Yi followed, only to find that Poplar and King Xiaoyao had already rushed towards the ravine.
"Hey, why didn't you two run away without saying a word? Women and husbands also have to experience the feelings of their subordinates. Forget it, don't use your light bulbs. I'm going to check one by one if it's the prince's person? Is there anyone who hasn't fallen asleep? Hu Yi said that he kicked and flipped over the waist cards one by one, not to mention, he really found something strange. Now is not the time to find an answer, and when I saw a sober person, I didn't pull my legs and rushed into the ravine.
The ravines were also empty. After walking a short distance, I saw a lot of graves on both sides of the path. The withered grass and bald trees are cold and snowy in winter, making the ravines and ravines look so desolate and miserable. The grave bag was apparently buried recently, as there were still some unbroken pieces of frozen soil on it. Looking at the traces of his own prince and Miss Bai walking over on the ground, they can still be seen. Hu Yi followed the traces into the depths of the ravine.
After turning a corner, the front suddenly opened up. Not far away were rows of wooden houses, which were badly damaged. The prince and Miss Bai were standing in front of the wooden houses, and in front of them were a dozen people in ragged clothes.
"It's the White Girl, the White Girl, you're finally here. If you don't come again, we people will die. A sloppy middle-aged uncle choked up.
"Second fool, this girl is late. What about those people? Poplar asked in his mouth, and he already had the answer in his heart. Those buried graves are called Hanako.
"White girl, they were all killed. It was the people of the court who came in and killed them. A man named Hanako said with a cry.
"White girl, in the five-year election, we have already hid in the ravine, why hasn't the court let us go? Originally, the two fools organized us to hunt, and the weak ones dug grass roots and peeled tree bark. We were able to eat enough, and we all got together in the evening to keep each other warm. When it's really cold, light a few campfires. Unexpectedly, the people from the court did not come to give us alms, but to kill us. Another Hanako said as she hammered the cold earth.
"That day, I happened to take these people to hunt deep in the mountains, and I escaped. When I came back in the evening, it was already full of corpses.
There are a lot of wild grass and dwarf trees in it, and it is really difficult to dig holes. We buried them on both sides of the path. We didn't have the tools we had to dig in the pits, large and small, and some of the pits were buried with many people. They are all from begging for food, so let's go to Lord Yama to get warm. The second fool recounted it eloquently. Said poplar's eyes were moist, and these people had followed him to beg for food. Even if you don't know each other, you're all in the same gang. He didn't die of starvation, but he was brutally killed by the imperial court. It's really unbearable, the uncle can bear it, and the aunt can't bear it.
The King of Ease, who was standing on the side, clenched his fists, did he know about these things? Or did he acquiesce. I have seen the prosperity and wealth of the capital, and I am used to living a life without worrying about food and clothing. I've also seen people begging on the street called Hanako, and I've bought information from those special Hanako. didn't know that there were such a large number of miserable people behind them. Looking at the poplars, in addition to admiration, my heart is full of love. Bai Yang once told herself that her ultimate goal is to have no beggars in the world, how big the world is, that is, what a huge project it should be if there are no beggars in the capital. But he secretly decided to follow Poplar, travel all over the world, and realize her ideals, and there are no beggars in the world.
"Second stupid uncle, this girl is here to pick you up, but unfortunately it's still late. This girl promises you that in the future, Hanako will be my relative. As long as they have righteousness in their hearts, this girl tells them not to beg for food anymore, but also to live a good life. ”
"White girl, if you can walk into the ravine and come to see us, we will already be grateful. How easy it is to get out there. The people in the court outside are all guarding, and if you go out, you will die. We can't implicate the white girl, you are a good person with a bodhisattva's heart. An old woman wiped away her tears.
"Mother-in-law, do you always know how to hunt?" Hu Yi asked.
"My mother-in-law doesn't just know how to hunt, he's the best kung fu among us except for the second fool. Some of us are apprentices of two fools, and some are apprentices of my mother-in-law. The white girl told us to follow you, I am not afraid of the lackeys of the court outside. As long as we don't die, we will be the White Maiden's guards in the future. A young man named Hanako said with a fist.
"You say this girl believes. This girl will take you out, and there are ready-made rice, noodles and vegetables outside. We returned to the capital after we were full. ”
"White girl, are you serious, how can we go back to the capital like this? It is estimated that if you can't enter the city gate, you will be killed by those people who have sold information. I heard that if they killed a real person named Hanako, the court would give a reward. The mother-in-law said worriedly.
"Damn, it even called Hanako to kill each other. How could he come up with such a vicious idea. The King finally spoke up, his tone full of anger.
"Poplar walked out of the ravine with these twenty or so people. The people outside the tent were still asleep. ”
"White girl, these are all done by your people, what a kung fu. I really want to kill them all with a knife so that I can avenge those who called Hanako. The mother-in-law said as she kicked the sleeping people.
"Master, you can't kill them. The white girl wants to take us back to the capital unknowingly. "The little guy Hanako just now said.
"Stone, is your master and I such an unreliable person? The white girl is our savior, and no matter how much hatred there is, it can't hurt the white girl. ”
"You all go to the tent and warm up, and this girl will go to the tent and get you something to eat, and then I will find you some clothes. Then we set off back to the capital. ”
"Master, I'll go with you." Hu Yi said.
"Stop, neither of you is allowed to follow me, stay and protect them. If I get food and clothing, you don't ask questions. "Poplar said very seriously, there is nothing in the space, but you can't let anyone know that you have this precious space.
Although King Xiaoyao and Hu Yi were a little puzzled in their hearts, they didn't follow, Bai Yang was right, these people need protection. Even if they have kung fu, how much can they do when they are hungry and cold?
Poplar came to the tent where he was cooking, and was very satisfied with the performance of the Easy King. After looking around, I really saw a few plates of dim sum that had been frozen hard. I knew that this was a nobleman, and this nobleman was the prince nine times out of ten.
Poplar tossed the hard snacks on the floor, then took them out of the space and put them on his plate. If you want them to eat enough, it's a bit fake, and it's okay to pad your stomach as much as you want. As for the clothes, I only have to wait until I enter the capital to find a way, and it seems that I can only go through the secret passage used by the King of Ease. This is also what I thought about when I came, and it is also one of the excuses for the King of Freedom to insist on coming with him.
