Chapter 297: A Strange Flood

The Persians' swords danced and intimidated Zhang Tianshi, but the Persians did not dare to act rashly when they saw the sword pointed at him in Zhang Tianshi's hand not moving in the wind.

Fu Ye hid behind Zhang Tianshi in horror and did not speak, looking at the knife in the Persian's hand that shimmered in the sunlight with terrified eyes.

The eyes of the Persians, the eyes of Zhang Tianshi, looked at each other in pairs. Finally, the Persian lowered his eyes, put away the knife in his hand, turned around, and ran away, disappearing into the alley around the corner of the crossing.

"Uncle Zhang. Where are you going? Fu Ye was a little flustered, and he didn't know why the Persians were chasing him, and now that the Persians were leaving, he didn't know where they would come from. Fu Ye saw that Zhang Tianshi was holding a sword, as if he was a chivalrous man walking the rivers and lakes, and thought that he should feel safe following him.

"Go to Wada." Zhang Tianshi stopped and said deliberately.

"Wada?"

"Yes, I went to Hotan to look for green jade seeds, and if I found it, I found a cornucopia. Why don't we go together? Find you and I'll split it in half. Zhang Tianshi made up a reason at will.

"Qingyu seeds are not in Hetian." Fu Ye regretted that he wanted to cover his words when he said it, but unfortunately it was too late, and the words he said were like water that could not be recovered.

"Where's that?" Zhang Tianshi immediately asked, not allowing Fu Ye to have a breather and re-weave the reason.

"In, in, in the desert of Kunlun Mountain..."Fu Ye said hesitantly.

"Oh." Zhang Tianshi turned around and left.

"Hey, hey, where are you going, Uncle Zhang?" At this moment, Fu Ye didn't want to stay here alone.

"Kunlun Mountain is looking for green jade seeds." Zhang Tianshi stopped and said to Fu Ye.

"I'll take you to Kunlun Mountain." Fu Ye had a wishful thinking and asked Zhang Tianshi to take him out of the country safely, and then get Zhang Tianshi away when he was in Kunlun Mountain. Although Zhang Tianshi gave Fu Ye some broken silver when he was in difficulty, Fu Ye was very moved. But to find those green jade seeds is to find a lifetime of glory and wealth, and Fu Ye doesn't want to share it with anyone.

"We have to rent a carriage to go to Kunlun Mountain." Zhang Tianshi said to Fu Ye, obviously saying that, in fact, Zhang Tianshi wanted to know how Fu Ye came to Qingtang City from Kunlun Mountain, and it was impossible to come to the city on horseback on his terms.

"We can go and ride the horse team, if they pass through the Kunlun Mountains."

"Where can I find the horses?"

"The "Yuecheng Inn" on the outskirts of the city has a horse team to go to Kunlun Mountain, and the shopkeeper Lu is good, and I have to pay him back for several days."

"Then we'll go to the inn right away." Zhang Tianshi turned around and looked around, and saw a figure passing by at the end of the empty path from a distance. "Maybe it's the Persian again." Zhang Tianshi thought that he didn't take it seriously, and followed Fu Ye along the field path, looking back from time to time, but he didn't see a figure until he reached the outskirts.

At dusk, just entering the courtyard of "Yuecheng Inn", Fu Ye shouted "Lu shopkeeper, Lu shopkeeper~~"

The door squeaked, the door opened, and the shopkeeper Lu came out a little impatiently and said, "Is it that there is no money to pay for the house today, so don't bother me." When you have the money to pay me back. ”

"Shopkeeper Lu, look what this is." Fu Ye shook the broken silver in his hand in front of the shopkeeper Lu.

"Fu Ye. I didn't have the money to pay for the house, and I didn't ask you. Don't do anything bad for the money. ”

"Shopkeeper Lu, you can rest assured. It was the uncle who bought my stone reward, and we stayed overnight and left tomorrow morning. Fu Ye pointed at Zhang Tianshi and said.

"Oooh oh. Two please. So the keeper took them to the upper room on the other side of the courtyard, and they were to stay.

"To" Zhang Tianshi handed Fu Ye the cake he bought from the bazaar, and asked while chewing the cake, "Why is Hetian Yu not in Hetian but in Kunlun Mountain?" ”

"All the stones, I found them in Kunlun Mountain. It's just that the stones of Kunlun Mountain are not worth much, and I put on the name of Hetian jade, hoping to sell them for a good price. Fu Ye said a little embarrassed.

Zhang Tianshi took out the jade and held it again, to be honest, he couldn't tell whether it was Hetian jade or not, for him, the texture of Kunlun jade and Hetian jade was exactly the same.

Dazzled, Zhang Tianshi pushed the door out to breathe in the fresh air, the bright moonlight shone on the courtyard of the inn like mercury, and the leaves rustled in the wind.

Everything seemed to be calm, but Zhang Tianshi saw the movement of black shadows in the rustling branches, and shouted "Who!" ”

As soon as Zhang Tianshi's voice fell, five or six masked people jumped down from the tree with scimitars in their hands, and rushed towards Zhang Tianshi's direction with a bang.

Zhang Tianshi reacted quickly, and his figure broke into the house like lightning and took out the sword, the pitch-black scabbard, the black sword spike of the sword was inconspicuous in the night, but when Zhang Tianshi pulled out the sword, he saw a white light flashing, and the sword glowed with cold light under the moonlight.

The sword in Zhang Tianshi's hand pointed at the masked man, and he stood in the courtyard and shouted, "There are robbers!" ”

Hearing Zhang Tianshi's shout, the doors of the guest room opened one by one, and suddenly the people with weapons rushed out of the room. Seeing that the situation was not good, the masked men grabbed the ropes that had been lowered from the trees, hurriedly climbed the trees, jumped out of the courtyard wall, and escaped through the darkness of the night.

When the crowd dispersed, Zhang Tianshi, who closed the door, turned his head and asked the trembling Fu Ye, "You, who have you offended?" ”

"Uncle. How can I offend people, and it is not my turn to offend people who are as sloppy as me. I also sold Kunlun jade as Hetian jade, but the quality of the jade is not much, and I also sell it at a low price. I don't think anyone should send a large crowd of people to find my fault for these small things the size of sesame seeds. ”

"And why did the Persians who hunted you down?"

"I don't think the Persians are chasing me, if you want to kill me, if you stab me, I would have died a long time ago~~"

"So the Persians with knives are ready to arrest you?"

"Uncle. I haven't offended him either, it's you who don't sell Kunlun jade to the Persians, not me, why did he arrest me! Fu Ye decided that the Persians had caught the wrong target, and the person these masked people came to look for was not him, but the unknown Uncle Zhang in front of him.

"It's very simple, the Persians and the masked people are taking you for the sake of the green jade seed, and they think you know the secret of the green jade seed."

"But you also see that the green jade seeds will lose their color at any time, so they will be worth a lot of money." Fu Ye still didn't believe that the masked man came for the green jade seed.

Zhang Tianshi took out the green jade seeds from his arms and looked at them, but he couldn't figure out why the Persians would pay one hundred and fifty taels of silver to buy green jade seeds, and five taels of silver for Hetian jade like this was more than enough. Could it be that the green jade seed has some unknown secrets? Thinking of this, Zhang Tianshi put the green jade seeds back into the cup and said, "We will go to Kunlun Mountain in the morning, the inn is too dangerous here." ”

"Who the hell are you?" Fu Ye looked at Zhang Tianshi with puzzled eyes, and he didn't dare to ask out loud, but asked weakly.

"Jiangnan Dongming Mansion Zhang Qingyuan."

"I mean why you came to Qingtang City."

"Tourist, I'm a wandering tourist."

"Oh." Fu Ye responded with his mouth on his lips, but he didn't believe it in his heart. Tourists, you liar. However, Fu Ye didn't ask more, after all, the sword was in the hands of Uncle Zhang (although Uncle Zhang was younger than him Fu Ye), and if someone invaded on the way to Kunlun Mountain, at least Uncle Zhang would resist it. No matter what, Fu Ye decided to find an opportunity in Kunlun Mountain to disappear from Uncle Zhang's eyes.

This night, peaceful. When the sun rose in the early morning, Shopkeeper Lu found a horse team for them to pass through Kunlun Mountain to hitchhike, and Fu Ye and Zhang Tianshi followed the horse team.

The horses walked on the desolate road, and the crows and bells of the trees by the roadside brought a little life to the desolate wilderness. In the distance, the endless sky is so peaceful and tranquil except for the blue sky and white clouds.

Rain in the northwest is rare, but sometimes the weather can change like a child's face. Just as the horse team was approaching the second Suojiqu, dark clouds covered the sky, and in an instant it crackled and poured down, and the rain was so heavy that it blocked the leader's view, so the horse team sought shelter from the rain in the wilderness woods.

The rain came and went quickly, and soon the rain cleared, and the horse team was ready to start again. Suddenly, someone shouted, "Retreat, the water is coming!" ”

In the distance of the wilderness, the water could be seen sparkling in the sunlight, and the water had a tendency to spread in the direction of the trees. The horse team then turned around and walked back, and it rained so much, but it was flooding, Zhang Tianshi felt a little incredible, and said to the people in the horse team: "Where did this water come from?" ”

"The underground river, which is supposed to be once a month, is coming up to the ground again, and it happens to be raining heavily, and the water is so turbulent."

"Can the water of an underground river flood like this?"

"On weekdays, I can't even drown much of the Suogie song, but today is a bit unusual."

"The second Suoji song is a village ~ village?"

"There is a well next to the village of Cisuojiqu, and the water from the underground river comes up from that well."

"Why don't you seal the well?"

"Little brother, you don't know that the well has been built with bricks and stones several times. But once a month, the underground river rises and breaks down the masonry and stones, and even throws the stones that are pressed on the well into the air. The leader of the horse team shook his head helplessly and said.

"Hurry up, the flood is coming!" Fu Ye saw the flood coming closer and closer to them.

When the people of the horse team saw the rapid arrival of the flood, they hurriedly drove the wagon back, but unfortunately the goods were too heavy, and the speed of the carriage could not match the speed of the flood.

"Boss. It seems that the only way to do this is to leave the goods behind and we leave. "The people of the horse team saw that the situation was not right, hesitated for a moment and made a painful choice.

"No, the goods are here!" The leader of the horse team said categorically.

"Boss. Where there is life, there is hope. Hurry up, it'll be too late if you don't. ”

"You go, leave me alone! I take care of the goods. ”

"Strange, you didn't find the flood strange?" Suddenly, Zhang Tianshi said to the panicked people.

"What's weird!" The leader also turned around and hurriedly glanced at the flood, but he couldn't see anything special.
