Chapter 54: Leaving the Town
Autumn goes to winter, and more than two months have passed.
From the beginning of the summer to the present, the time has passed and I have reached the end of the year before I know it.
The further south you go, the more humidity the air becomes. Staying in the wilderness all night, waking up early in the morning, your clothes will be wet with the morning mist.
The southern winter is not at all like that of China, and the further south you go, the warmer it gets.
The road was calm and smooth, and the journey began to come to an abrupt end not far from Zhenli Town.
Although it is one step closer to their destination, Suiyuan. But—
Zhenli Town is the only way to Suiyuan, but the whole terrain is very treacherous, and there are many strange rocks in the mountains. There are many inconveniences in traffic, and in many places there are only mountain roads and trails, which are far from enough for the width required for horse-drawn carriages.
I had no choice but to abandon the car and put my luggage on two horses as much as possible. But there were still a lot of horses left on their backs, and they really couldn't go on foot.
However, there are many grass and mountain bandits in the mountains, and the folk customs here are extremely strong, and a disagreement can turn from an argument between the two into a multi-party fight.
In just two days, they encountered two mountain bandits blocking the road and robbing, and a large-scale martial arts tour between the two villages.
However, in this way, it also gave several of them a rare opportunity to fight.
In the past half a year of martial arts training, Su Mi's progress can be called rapid, and it is no longer a problem for one person to fight a few adult strong men alone.
The others could only try to protect themselves, and hurriedly learned to fight back.
It's like being on the side for a long time, but there is no chaos.
"In this case, when will we get to Zhenli Town?"
Sitting on the ground, I couldn't wait to stick out my tongue and gasp for breath, and I didn't even want to untie the burden on my back, and I really didn't have the slightest strength to pay attention to it.
Not to mention the mountains climbed along the way, it is a trend of one after another with no end in sight.
I have to keep tensing my nerves, I'm afraid that a gang of robbers will come out of nowhere, it's really physically and mentally exhausting.
Ruoqing Ruoxi, who is even worse than her, really doesn't even have the strength to speak.
Even Sumi Suliang was panting like a cow, and he was already sweating.
It is also in the mountains that I have been used to it for several years, and it is not a star and a half. But seeing that they had reached their limit, he asked them all to stop and rest.
"Uhh
"I opened this mountain, and planted this tree..."
"Made, again! It's endless, why do you see us being bullied? ”
The line is full of half-grown children, and those with large bags and small bags look like fat sheep, which is strange if they can bear it.
The leader of the mountain bandits, whose script was interrupted, had a worried face, touched his long beard, and was ready to continue reading, "If you want to..."
"Smack-"
The long whip that flew out directly exploded in the air, interrupting his unfinished words again.
Xiaozhi, who was exhausted, pulled out the whip wrapped around his waist, and instantly stood up and shouted as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, "I miss your grandmother's legs!" ”
The fierce and vicious appearance is more fierce than the mountain bandits, and it is really the red who is close to Zhu and the black who is close to the ink.
If you can do it, you will never force it too much, and the spirit of doing it if you don't agree is to implement it to the end.
There was no extra nonsense, and Sumi and the others also joined the battle.
This group of people is not as good as the previous batch, not like the real green forest and grass, but like the mountain people who have fallen into the grass, and they don't have any martial arts.
The whole situation was naturally one-sided, and within a moment, they were beaten up and begged grandpa to sue grandma, and they begged for mercy one after another.
"The little ones don't know Mount Tai with their eyes, and if they are offended, please be merciful to your little grandparents and grandmothers!"
"With this ability, you still dare to learn to block the way, not afraid of death, what mercy to beg?"
"This, if you can't live anymore, how can you do such a lack of morality, this is the first time for us, really! Absolutely nothing hurtful, please treat us as a fart! ”
This is the first time I hit a hard stubble, and it can be regarded as the extreme when I am out of the teacher's disadvantage, and I really want to cry without tears.
The leader of the bandits quietly saw that they all turned his gaze to the side, and the man who did not speak or move from beginning to end.
As soon as his mind turned around, he understood, and he couldn't help but straighten up and follow the direction, and sincerely kowtowed to admit his mistake.
"This son, please, please raise your noble hand."
"You just said you can't live? Why can't you survive? ”
There is no fertile land in the mountains, and it is clear that it has been clear for a long time, but along the way, many fruit trees have been planted on the mountain by the mountain people.
Because of the arrival of winter, although the bare branches of the trees can't tell what kind of fruit they are, they don't look like they don't have a harvest, so why do they get to the point where they can't survive?
"The mountain is high and the emperor is far away, let's leave the town of this county master..."
Needless to say, the meaning of the few words revealed is something that everyone can understand.
"You can only rob a common man from the same poor background in a few moments, can you do it? If you meet a person in the rivers and lakes or a dignitary, it will be a direct death. ”
"If you can't survive, you can always struggle and live, it's better than just dying and having nothing left."
", think about whether you have this good fortune next time."
If you don't want to embarrass them for a long time, you also see that they are really from poor people as they say.
The short clothes he wore were all patches stacked on top of each other, his face was sallow, and his hands were full of calluses left by hard work.
So I couldn't help but say a few more words, but whether I listened or didn't listen was up to them.
"Thank you, Gongzi Xie."
Although the words are not good to hear, they can always understand whether they are good or bad.
After thanking each other repeatedly, several people supported each other, and staggered away with one foot deep and one foot shallow.
"Miss, are they telling the truth, that county master..."
Rujiu shook his head, in which dynasty did the Tu Emperor have, what can the people of Shinong Industry and Commerce, and the ordinary people?
Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, unless it really reaches the point where everyone can't survive anymore, all they think about is to continue to grit their teeth and struggle to survive.
"Hurry up and get some rest, it's not much time before dark, and you'll have to speed up later."
"Yes, miss." "Got it, Miss."
Rujiu, who didn't feel tired, didn't choose to sit down and rest, but turned his back and walked away, standing on the edge of the cliff and looking at the mountains in the distance, letting go of his thoughts.
"Xiaozhi, you did a good job with that whip just now, and you have made great progress."
"Where, where, it's still not as good as Sister Qing'er, and you still need to practice a lot. Your punch just now was called a terrible one. ”
“……”
After listening to them, they began to tout their daily flattery again, which made Rujiu secretly amused, but she would not deliberately say anything to hit them.
Just this one fight just now, it also took advantage of other people's martial arts moves. It's really a model of cheap and well-behaved, and there are still practices.
After the rest, several people stopped laughing and began to hurry, hoping to reach the town sooner and earlier.
After several days of sleeping in the open for eating and sleeping in the mountains, I can't rest well anymore, and the string that tightens my mind is about to be torn off.
It gets dark early in winter, and the sun is already setting in the west not long after the unitary time.
Gradually, the city gate that had appeared more than ten meters high at the end of the line of sight couldn't help but boost the morale of the army and let the machine walk, and finally saw the dawn of victory.
