Chapter 265: Castle Peak Road
Perhaps because he felt that Liu Xiu was not very interested in talking, the old boatman stopped talking and seriously rocked the oars.
When Liu Xiu led the horse to the shore, there were passengers who had been waiting for a long time to get on the boat, and the old boatman carried them to the opposite bank......
Looking at the boat that was gradually moving away, Liu Xiu, who was standing on the shore, watched quietly, the whole body and mind were very calm, the mountain, the water, the boat, the simple picture was incomparably natural and harmonious, like a simple picture scroll slowly unfolding in front of him.
Stopping and watching, Liu Xiu couldn't retract his gaze for a long time, at this time he had an indescribable feeling in his heart, as if that simple picture contained some deep meaning, but he couldn't understand it for a while.
"Brother Liu, let's go, it's all over, is it possible that you still want to go back and sit again?" Luo Bing, who had already passed the river, saw that Liu Xiu was standing there and didn't know how to speak.
Liu Xiu was stunned, then turned around and nodded and smiled: "Let's go"
The group set off again, and after walking two steps, Liu Xiu couldn't help but turn around and glance at the boat that was going away, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and he seemed to understand something.
"At the beginning, I felt that the old man gave me a very special feeling, I didn't understand it at the time, I had close contact with him before, but now I think about it carefully, aside from other factors, from a medical point of view, the old man seems to be in a state between life and death, and the characteristics of life are like lights in the wind that will go out at any time, but in this state of imminent death, there is a trace of vitality......
Muttering to himself, Liu Xiu suddenly became enlightened, and subconsciously said to himself: "Ferrying on the river, the old man is not ferrying people, but ferrying himself!" ”
Thinking of this, Liu Xiu's eyes looked at the river surface in a slight trance, at this time in his eyes, the river that was originally only more than 100 meters wide was almost boundless, the river in the river was no longer calm, but set off a monstrous wave, and under the waves was hidden endless danger, the boat floating on the boundless river surface would be subverted by the churning river at any time!
That kind of picture is just a flash in a trance, and when I look at it again in the blink of an eye, the river is still the small river, the boat is still the small boat, ordinary, nothing special.
"The old man who crossed the river is not simple!" Liu Xiu said subconsciously in his heart.
At this moment, Liu Xiu seemed to see the old man ferrying in the river turn his head to look at him and smile, but he didn't seem to ......
"Brother Liu, are you alright? What does a person mutter, lose his soul? Luo Bing patted Liu Xiu's shoulder and said with a strange expression.
Liu Xiu turned around and shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's just that I feel that it's not easy for the old man to cross the river for decades."
"Tsk, you doctors, you all have a compassionate heart, Brother Liu, let me tell you, you can't do this, you are still young, your medical skills are still so good, there are more suffering things in the world, you will experience a lot of life and death in the future, if you have this mentality, you will go crazy sooner or later" Leng Qingsong explained on the side.
We're not talking about a thing at all, right?
Liu Xiu was speechless, changed the topic and said, "Brother Leng, the injuries you suffered that day are all over, right?" If you don't have time, I'll take a look at it for you."
"It's okay, it's okay......" Leng Qingsong hurriedly said, a little embarrassed, that day he was pulling wild shit in the woods and was pricked in the ass by a poisonous scorpion, which is embarrassing to think about.
was interrupted like this, Liu Xiu completely left the old man who crossed the river behind, no matter who the other party is, what his origin is, it has nothing to do with him Liu Xiu, after this time, I am afraid that I may not be able to meet again in the future, what do you want to do so much.
At this time, Lin Yingying on the side said with great interest: "I inquired just now, it turns out that the river we just crossed is the dividing line, the other side of the river is Nanhai Road, this side is Qingshan Road, we have left the boundary of Nanhai Road, and we can reach Jiannan Road through Qingshan Road."
"Don't be too happy, we only walked a small half of the distance away from Nanhai Road, and the next road is more difficult to walk, Qingshan Road is more deep mountains and Daze, among which there are countless poisonous insects and beasts, many times we need to make a detour, after all, the ability of a few of us is not enough to cross Qingshan Road"
Luo Bing shook his head and said, hearing this, Lin Yingying couldn't be happy all of a sudden.
As Luo Bing said, the terrain of Qingshan Road is complex, most of them are deep mountains and rivers, and the environment is more primitive and harsh than other places, so it is not easy to survive on this land.
Unlike other ways of living on the border, it is not easy to open up a city in a place like Castle Peak Road, because the people on this land mostly live in a tribal way, and they fight with nature and poisonous insects and beasts, resulting in a relatively savage personality, which is not so easy to get along with.
Although the environment on the land of Castle Peak Road is extremely harsh, it is a huge natural treasure house, and the deep mountains and rivers are rich in products, and various medicinal materials and minerals attract countless caravans to risk their lives to trade in this land, and often people can make a lot of money in one trip.
To be reasonable, the money on the land of Qingshan Road is really easy to earn, the natives who live in this land in a tribal way are mainly focused on the surrounding environment, and the civilization is relatively backward, the caravan only needs to bring cheap porcelain, cloth, spices, wine, candy and other items from the outside world, and they can exchange a large number of precious medicinal materials and skins and minerals from their hands, once they are transported to the outside world, it is ten times and a hundred times the difference, so even if it is dangerous here, there are still merchants rushing to come.
After a long time, the local natives also realized that they had been pitted, which led to the tribes on this land being very xenophobic, but they themselves could not make those exquisite things from the outside world, and they could not do without the goods brought by the caravan, and they could only pinch their noses and endure the exploitation of the outside merchants, which led to the way the natives here and the outside world got along very deformally.
The harsh environment, the xenophobic natives, the powerful poisonous insects and beasts, thinking of the danger ahead, Luo Bing was a little apprehensive for a while.
But they are all here, and it is impossible for them to retreat, so they can only pack up their mood and continue on the road.
"I heard that there are five overlord-level tribes in the land of Qingshan Dao, and their strength is not weaker than that of other sects, namely the Bear Tribe, the Blue Bird Tribe, the Black Stone Tribe, the Golden Wolf Tribe, and the Raging Bull Tribe," Leng Qingsong suddenly said in the silent atmosphere.
The conversation box opened, and Luo Bing also said: "Yes, these tribes are very distinctive, because of the high mountains and dense forests of Qingshan Road, there are a lot of fierce beasts, and people are proud of domesticating a powerful beast as a partner, there are bear tribes that mainly domesticate bear beasts, blue bird tribes mainly domesticate birds, and the Black Stone tribe is not good at domesticating beasts, but they produce a special ore, and the armor weapons created are strong, the golden wolf tribe mainly domesticates wolves, and the mad bull tribe is cattle, In fact, just from the name of their tribe, you can hear a clue or two."
"Tsk, domesticate beasts, there are thousands of such warriors, as long as you turn over your own domesticated beasts are cavalry, once you charge, think about the picture is terrible, especially the blue bird tribe, riding birds to fight, once hostile is really a headache"
"There have been many forces that have fought the idea of these tribes to domesticate beasts, but they have all failed, causing many wars, but unfortunately I have not had the opportunity to see them"
"Speaking of these tribes, I have heard an interesting anecdote, saying that the people of these tribes are very barbaric, and they don't want to be as subtle as the people outside of us, just take the object, regardless of men and women, once they fall in love with each other, as long as they are strong enough, they will directly knock you out and make children, and I don't know what they think, it's too barbaric."
"Haha, then you have to be careful, don't be accidentally robbed to be a husband or wife in the village"
"I think the most worrying thing should be Brother Liu, he is so good-looking, those tribal women can't drool when they see his words, haha, Brother Liu, don't worry, we will protect you, and we won't let those barbaric women get their hands on it easily, of course, as a last resort, you just start, hehe......"
The group chatted about the customs of the land of Castle Peak Road, and gradually went deeper into the land.
From the moment you set foot on the boundary of Castle Peak Road, the road becomes relatively difficult to walk, and the mountains are intricately undulating, and it is easy to get lost in the deep mountains and old forests if you are not careful.
Hearing what they said about Qingshan Dao, Liu Xiu was quite looking forward to seeing it, he was not interested in fighting and killing, but felt that it was more interesting to experience different civilizations and different ways of living, especially when he heard about the five powerful tribes, Liu Xiu couldn't wait to go and see it immediately, so he couldn't bear it, he was not in a hurry, he came to Japan, first returned to Jiannan Dao, to see how Li Chang'an's task was completed, and then renovated his residence, and then talked about it when he had time.
For those tribes, Liu Xiu does not have the mentality of going to see and leave, if he can, he wants to go deeper into the experience, it takes time, and his time does not allow him to stay for a long time, otherwise, with his ability, it is estimated that no one will be able to find out if he goes around unknowingly.
They went all the way to the boundary of Qingshan Road for hundreds of miles, and came to a city when the sun was about to set.
This is the first city they encounter on Castle Peak Road, and it can also be said to be the last, because if they go any further, they will enter the deep mountains and rivers, and there will be no such cities in front of them, only large and small tribes.
This city can be said to be one of the hubs of Castle Peak Road to connect with the outside world, there are local natives, there are foreign merchants, and the personnel are intricate, Liu Xiu and they need to resupply here well, and then they can take the next road......
