Chapter 59 A place like a puzzle
Along the way, she was in a solemn mood, and the thick fog around her made her even more uneasy.
The more the horses go, the more humid they get, as if they are wetter than the rainforest on Phoenix Island last time. Yan Xiaoyi's hair seemed to have just been washed and had not dried, wet and sticking to her forehead, and on her neck, strands were extremely uncomfortable. The clothes on the body are even more damp, clinging to the body, and the charming curves that are usually hidden under the wide skirt are more and more prominent, which is extremely embarrassing.
She quietly moved down, her arms covering as far as she could.
Perhaps sensing her abnormality, Rong Xiu's dark eyes fell on the villain in front of him. At first glance, his eyes darkened, and he suddenly staggered to the side, frowned slightly, and untied the cloak on his body to wrap her.
Originally, his body was damp, and suddenly there was an equally wet cloak on his body, Yan Xiaowei felt that the sweat on his body could not be volatilized, and his body was cold and hot.
As soon as the little hand pulled the cloak, it was slapped off by the person behind him with a palm, and Rong Xiu's undoubted voice came from above his head: "Be honest, don't move around!" ”
Yan Xiaowei raised her head and looked at him with a sad face: "It's so uncomfortable, can you take off the cloak?" ”
Isn't it all looked at by others? Rong Xiu didn't blink his eyes with a cold face: "Can't, bear with it!" ”
Thinking of his cold appearance all day, I am afraid that it is also because of the complex terrain of Qingyun Mountain. Yan Xiaowei pursed her lips and turned around silently, now that the enemy is present, she should not bother him with this little thing.
As everyone knows, the reason why Rong Ergongzi's cold face has been around all day is not because of bandits, but because she is heartless!
After a while, the sky in the forest began to darken. A raindrop the size of a bean hit Yan Xiaoyi's nose impartially, and she was shocked, no, the humidity in this forest is so big, maybe it's going to rain heavily.
As if confirming her thoughts, in an instant, a torrential rain poured down. When I came down, there was a mist in front of me, not to mention that I couldn't see clearly, and even the surrounding sounds were covered by the sound of "sparse" rain.
Yan Xiaoyu hurriedly put the cloak on top of her head, even so, her body was still drenched by the cold rain, and her hands and feet were shivering cold.
Rong Xiu flicked the reins, and the horse under his crotch hurriedly ran a few steps parallel to the beard: "Sixth brother, how long will it take to arrive?" If it's still far away, let's find a place to shelter from the rain first! ”
The bearded man stretched out his hand to wipe his wet beard: "Brother Qin, you don't know, our Qingyun Mountain is famous for its fog and rain. It's autumn, but it's raining no less than summer. Now that I'm down, looking at this look, I guess I won't be able to stop until night. A little further on, you will come to our cottage, and then insist on it! ”
Rong Xiu also raised his hand to wipe the water on his face: "But now that the rain is so heavy, the sky is dark, and the terrain in the forest is so complicated, what if you get separated?" He reached out and touched it in his arms, "The fire is so wet that I can't even light a torch!" ”
The bearded and big palm slapped on the leg: "This is easy to do, Brother Qin, you wait!" ”
He took out something almost like a whistle and a bamboo flute from his bosom, put it to his mouth, and suddenly the sharp whistle pierced through the rain and mist.
For about half an hour, there was a distant fire approaching.
The bearded man grinned: "The person who answered is here!" ”
Sure enough, a small group of men and horses with torches running over, each with a torch in his hand, and even in this pouring rain, there was no sign of being extinguished.
When it was closer, a strong smell of pine resin and sulfur entered his nose, and Yan Xiaoyan was relieved, no wonder such a big rain torch was fine.
The leader was a young man who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, and he grinned when he saw the bearded man: "Sixth uncle, you can be regarded as back, since you went down the mountain, Ah Feng has been waiting for you with the stars and the moon!" This time I want to pick the best among the new treasures that are transported back to the mountain! ”
The bearded man took the torch in his hand with a smile, and knocked his big hand on Ah Feng's head: "You ghost spirit, don't ask your sixth uncle first if I'm tired along the way, and remember my things first, it's really unconscionable!" ”
Ah Feng raised his head unconvinced: "Sixth uncle, you are wronging me by saying this, thinking that you will be back in the next few days, the rain in the mountains is not easy to walk, I prepare torches at this hour every day to listen to the letter, I didn't even go to the second uncle to teach me kung fu!" If it were someone else, I wouldn't have been able to hear your whistle so quickly! ”
The bearded man touched his head with rare pity: "Okay, this kid, I said that you have ten sentences waiting for you!" ”
As he spoke, he pointed to Rong Xiu on the side: "This is the Qin Gongzi who is doing things with me this time, called Big Brother!" ”
Ah Feng looked at Rong Xiu, then at Yan Xiaoyi, who only showed a head in front of him, and twisted his head: "What big brother, at first glance, it is a little white face under the mountain, I don't call it!" ”
The bearded man was stunned for a moment, and stretched out his palm to pat Ah Feng's back: "Hey, you stinky boy, when did you learn to judge people by their appearance?" Qin Gongzi is from a scholarly family, if it weren't for his help this time, we wouldn't be able to get around the eyes of the government and bring in such a large number of ordnance! You can't even touch a single hair with your two little paws! Don't look at others who look weak, they have something in their minds, and they are military advisors hand-picked by the big bosses! ”
Ah Feng glanced at Rong Xiu: "It's useless to say anything, anyway, I don't call it, there is no good person under the mountain!" Sixth uncle, be careful, be careful to be deceived by them! ”
Yan Xiaowei only knew what it means to be a little ghost today, but I didn't expect this Ah Feng's eyes to be poisonous enough!
The bearded man saw that Ah Feng's words were disrespectful, and he was a little rude, so he hurriedly scolded: "What's the matter with you kid, the big boss has already sent someone to check, Qin Gongzi has nothing to do with the people over there, in the future, he will run a school in the cottage, Qin Gongzi is your husband, you have to respect this!" ”
Ah Feng pursed his lips: "Let's be bandits, what kind of school do we go to, and the big masters don't point to us to get famous!" Practice your martial arts well on weekdays, and you're better than anything else! ”
The bearded man snorted: "How can you kid think more conservatively than me, who is an uncle!" You don't think about it, if we don't even have a person who can read big words, we won't be able to read a letter or a message in the future, and I don't know how many things will be broken! ”
Ah Feng turned the horse's head around with a flip of his wrist: "How can you say that Uncle Six is so serious!" Since literacy is so important, why is this surnamed Qin still like us, and he has fallen into the grass? ”
The bearded man was speechless for a while, staring at the tiger's eyes and speechless for a while.
Ah Feng smiled smugly, looking at Rong Xiu with contempt, as if he had to find something unpleasant from him to prevent him from entering the cottage.
Yan Xiaoyi followed his gaze and looked back at Rong Xiu behind him, this glance didn't matter, she was close, and her sharp eyes found that Rong Xiu's face had changed face, and at some point, the mask peeled off, and it happened to be very obvious in the jaw.
Maybe it was because of the rain, the seams were washed away by the rain, I don't know if Ah Feng saw it, she quickly turned around and put one hand around Rong Xiu's neck, and the other hand seemed to caress his face, but it actually fell on the seam of his mask.
Her sudden approach startled Rong Xiu, and he swept the bearded man and Ah Feng beside him uncomfortably, and steadied his chaotic breathing: "What's wrong?" ”
Yan Xiaowei deliberately pulled his head to his side, pouting coquettishly: "It's cold, when can we go to the cottage, if we stay in this heavy rain again, sooner or later we will be infected with the wind cold!" ”
Taking advantage of the fact that the view of the people nearby was blocked, she hurriedly re-fitted the mask on Rong Xiu's jaw.
Rong Xiu understood what she meant in an instant, and lowered his head to cooperate with her: "It's almost there, we're going to be there soon!" ”
After her interruption like this, Ah Feng's gaze on Rong Xiu shifted over, only to see him pull the reins and pout: "What a bullshit military master, but a playboy who loves to play with women!" ”
After saying that, he kicked his feet and ran away with his horse gurgling.
With the torch lighting, the road in the mountains seems to be slightly easier to walk.
After walking for a short time, I finally saw the gate of the cottage. Unlike the rugged mountain road below, the location of the cottage is very flat. At a glance, dozens of wooden buildings are scattered, and there are a few red embroidered lanterns hanging on the eaves of two pavilions, which shine gently in this cold rainy night.
However, when you look closely, you realize that there is something unusual about this place.
This cottage is built on the mountainside of Qingyun Mountain, although the surrounding mountains embrace, but there is no mountain height comparable to this Qingyun Mountain, standing on the mountainside and looking down, any unusual movement around will be included in the eyes of this group of mountain bandits.
On one side of the mountain is the mountain road that Yan Xiaoyi and the others walked through, and on the other side is the cliff of the abyss. In other words, except for the labyrinth-like misty forest, it is impossible for people to come up from the cliff on the other side.
Such a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack is like a puzzle, what method can be used to conquer it?
When the group came to the door of the cottage, someone had already come to open the door.
As soon as the carriage and horses were parked, the person in charge hurriedly stopped the bearded man and the others, and arched his hand to Rong Xiu: "Qin Gongzi, you are coming to our cottage for the first time, and the big boss has prepared a banquet in the front hall to pick you up, and by the way, reward the brothers who went down the mountain to buy goods this time!" ”
The bearded man laughed: "It's still thoughtful and thoughtful, the car is tired on the way, and it's raining hard today, so we have to drink a good drink to drive away the cold." Brother Qin, since you defected to our cottage, you can be regarded as a person in the cottage, you must not see outside tonight, we will not get drunk and return! ”
After speaking, he put his arm on Rong Xiu's shoulder: "Let's go, let's go to the front hall!" ”
Yan Xiaowei quickly grabbed Rong Xiu's clothes: "Brother Qin, what should I do?" ”
The bearded man pulled her hand down irritably: "Why are you everywhere!" The big boss hates women staying at the banquet of the masters, no bad luck! Naturally, someone will take you to where you need to go in a while, just wait! ”
