Chapter Seventy-Five: Aman the Hunter
However, to Wen Qing's surprise, the villagers held a grand bonfire dinner in the evening, and treated them with roasted fragrant barbecue and homemade spirits!
Wen Qing only ate two bites of meat, one was that she felt that these barbecues were really far from the top delicious barbecue she had eaten before, and the other was that she was still a little uneasy.
In case you get drunk, if something really happens in the middle of the night, you can't finish the game!
Except for Wen Qing, who didn't drink, Zhu'er took a sip and didn't drink anymore when she felt that her mouth was unpalatable, and the female envoy Chuncha and Zhao Moushi's guard Qingwa didn't drink either!
Except for a few of them, everyone was drunk, that is, Zhao Moushi drank a lot, but when he was about to get drunk, Qingwa helped him back to the wooden corner tower!
Nothing happened that night, Wen Qing was pulled into her carriage by Zhu'er and spent the night! Because she can't get used to sleeping in that kind of wooden corner tower!
In the car, Zhu'er told her about her and Chu Yun, and Wen Qing knew that the person she liked turned out to be Chu Yun, or the kind of love at first sight, but because Chu Yun deceived her, she was sulking with him now!
But as she spoke, she fell asleep first!
After a night of silence, after getting up the next day, the villagers prepared a big pot of bone broth for them to sober up, and after breakfast, arranged a hunter for them to take them into the mountains!
It was a slightly thin man, and although he looked thin, his exposed muscles were very strong! It's like a piece of steel bar, and it looks full of explosive power!
Song Xiulan said that his name was Aman, and he was the best hunter here, and he was no less fast in the mountains than a leopard, and he could even kill a wild boar with his bare hands!
Aman said that he could take them to Cyan Town, but he would not enter the town, and he advised them not to spend the night in the town!
When I asked him why, he said he didn't know, that's what the old man in the small village said!
The group plus Aman, seventeen people marched towards the winding path, because the road was too small for the carriage to pass, the two carriages had to take off the reins of the horses, and leave the cart in the stockade, one of the two horses for Zhu'er to ride, and one for Zhao Moushi, all led by their female envoys!
Each batch is immediately hung with a little dry food and water! and the cloth tents for camping, and other than that, everything is simple!
Aman carried only a wooden bow and a quiver on his back, and the arrows were also made of sharpened wood.
Wen Qing looked at Aman's swarthy body, like a loach in the dirt, slippery and slippery in the jungle, he could always run far away at once, and then he didn't know where to come out, telling the road conditions ahead, where it was easy to walk, where it was not easy to walk!
The more they walked in, the more uneasy Wen Qing became, because the road they had come all the way was so easy to walk!
Although it can be understood in this way, the reason why the road is easy to walk is that Aman went to the front to explore the road conditions in advance, but who walked out of these roads?
This further confirmed Wen Qing's initial guess!
These villagers have been to the green town, judging from the trampling marks on these roads, they have not entered the green town, and it is even possible that they have been there many times!
Why are they lying?
Wen Qing didn't believe that Zhao Moushi didn't notice it at all, but what he showed was too calm, as if he didn't know anything! A light and breezy look!
In the mountains and forests in the morning, by noon, everyone had the first round of rest!
Taking advantage of the break, Wen Qing pulled Ye Shen aside!
She wanted to ask Ye Shen last night, but she had no choice but to be more hilarious than anyone else, singing, dancing and drunk, and finally waited until he didn't sing, dance, or drunk, but he was drunk and unconscious!
Wen Qing glanced at the two brothers Mo You and Mo Hai with her eyes!
Asked softly, "Little leaf!" I ask you, what do the two of them do? ”
Ye Shen glanced back at the two of them and said, "They? What do they do, you ask? ”
Wen Qing pinched Ye Shen's arm hard, and the latter grinned in pain.
"Miss Wen, you..."
Wen Qing glared at him, "I know that you just said, is it a man who is crooked?" ”
Ye Shen rubbed his purple arm that was pinched, with a look of resentment!
"The two of them don't have a good reputation! They were found by Zhao Moushi, and I only know a thing or two! ”
"That fat man's name is Mo You, it's his younger brother, and the thin man's name is Mo Hai, it's Mo You's brother! I heard that these two brothers have strange skills, Mo You can be like a cat, he can see things at night, and Mo Hai's sense of smell and hearing is very sensitive, he is the most powerful hunting dog, and he can't compare with him! ”
Wen Qing pondered for a moment, and then said, "Then can he smell the blood on people?" If a person has a strong smell of blood! ”
Ye Shen looked at Wen Qing stunned, "Why does Miss Wen ask that?" ”
Wen Qing's eyes inadvertently drifted to Zhao Moushi, who was resting opposite, and she swallowed back what she wanted to say.
She shook her head and said, "Nothing! ”
Ye Shen stood up, "Miss Wen, my grandmother has told me since I was a child that if a person has a strong smell of blood, then he may be an executioner, or a butcher or something, and he must have killed many lives, because they have been stained with blood for many years, and there will be a strong smell of blood on their bodies that ordinary people can't smell!" Of course, there is another situation! ”
"Huh?"
Ye Shen grinned, he lowered his voice, "In another case, once a person has a strong smell of blood, then he is not far from death!" ”
After resting for about half a pillar of incense, everyone set off again!
I didn't say anything all the way, and I didn't stop again until the sun went down, and I buried the pot and set up camp!
It seems to have returned to the days when I first entered the mountains and forests from Luoyang City!
As soon as the sun rose on the second day, we set off again!
At this time, it is actually the end of winter, but the closer you get to the area of Teal Town, the warmer the weather feels!
After Song Xiulan asked Aman, he learned that their place was different from other places, this time was the warmest time, and the rest of the time was almost a cold winter all year round.
On this day, it was the fourth day of entering the mountains and forests from the stockade, and not long after the camp was pulled out in the morning, Zhao Moushi suddenly stopped Aman!
These days have been led by Aman, who is like a fish in the mountains and forests! With him leading the way, he did avoid many detours.
Zhao Moushi asked Song Xiulan to tell him that according to the direction on the map, he should go north, and the direction of the route he took was northwest, so he couldn't follow his route anymore!
Aman chattered and talked to Song Xiulan a lot, saying that he didn't go wrong at all, and the direction he went to Cyan Town was the direction he went, and they had been to that place when they were hunting!
But no matter what he said, Zhao Moushi said that he was wrong, and from now on, follow the direction of the map! Let him lead the way!
But I didn't expect this Aman to be angry!
He said angrily, do you have to follow the wrong route if you read the wrong map?
Wen Qing looked at the two of them, if it weren't for the language barrier and relying on Song Xiulan's translation, the two would probably have to quarrel directly!
The two talked for a long time, and finally Aman became depressed, and Zhao Moushi's meaning was already obvious in the back, first of all, thank him for taking us for so many days in the past few days. Then, now you can go back!
But Aman said that he promised the owner of the village to escort them all the way to Qingse Town safely, otherwise he would not go back!
Zhao Moushi said, whatever!
The crowd began to change directions, heading in the other direction!
But after changing directions, there is no way out! It all relied on those three snake scale armies to cut a way out all the way!
So much so that after walking for most of the day, I didn't go much at all, and not only that, but the strength consumed was several times more than usual!
Before the sun set, everyone stopped early and tidied up a spacious place to camp!
At this time, an unexpected person came to Wen Qing's side!
"This Aman lied! Uncle Zhao was actually just testing him just now! I have seen the map, and the position marked on the map is actually the same as the position he originally walked, to the northwest, Uncle Zhao deliberately said that it was wrong! However, he can be sure that Uncle Zhao has read the wrong map! Why? ”
The man turned his face sideways and looked at Wen Qing!
Wen Qing didn't know what Zhao Moushi was planning, but she knew that Zhao Moushi was definitely going to act!
She didn't expect Hu Zhongsheng to take the initiative to talk to her!
Wen Qing pondered for a moment, "Because, unless he has seen the map!" I can be so sure that the old man has read the wrong map! ”
"And has he seen the map?"
"Since arriving at the temple, the map has been in the old man's hands, he hasn't seen the map, he has actually seen the map!"
Hu Zhongsheng glanced at the warmth appreciatively, quite a sense of sympathy!
"He hasn't seen the map in Uncle Zhao's hand, but he has seen the map exactly the same as Uncle Zhao's hand!"
"So what now? Temptation is temptation! Do we want to go in the wrong direction as the old man instructed? You'll never get to Cyantown! ”
Hu Zhongsheng shook his head, "No! He's not going to let us go down the wrong path, he's going to find a way to get us to Teal! Bring us to Teal Town, that's what he's really for! ”
"But..."
Wen Qingxiu frowned slightly, "The old man has stopped following his route!" ”
Hu Zhongsheng said, "So Uncle Zhao is giving him a chance, tonight is his chance, think about it, if there is no map, he is the only one who knows the way to Cyan Town, so how should we choose?" ”
Wen Qing understood! She was a little curious.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Hu Zhongsheng pointed to Song Xiulan not far away with his eyes.
"You... I have a good relationship with him! ”
Wen Qing withdrew her gaze from Song Xiulan.
"What do you want to say?"
Hu Zhongsheng lowered his head and approached Wen Qing, he was more than a head taller than Wen Qing!
The scorching breath hit her neck, and Wen Qing subconsciously moved a little to the side!
"Song Gongzi is familiar with these barbarians, I'm afraid that he will get out of control if he can't stand the blow, so I'll give you a reminder first! Once Uncle Zhao confirms that Aman has a problem, he will do something to Aman! ”
Wen Qing took two steps back, "How serious?" ”
Hu Zhongsheng shook his head slightly, "If Aman doesn't handle it well!" It's very likely that we will inexplicably disappear into Teal Town, just like the team that has been to Teal Town before, and in a real sense, we don't even see the shadow of Teal Town! He's taking us not to Teal Town, but to Hell! ”
