Volume 1 A Small Mountain Village in the Cracks Chapter 41 The new house is red and white lanterns
Li Yong acted extremely decisively, and immediately led the team out of Lijia Village after determining the personnel. Although everyone had to go to Heishuizhuang first and send those young and old to the inn, in order to avoid encountering possible Waran bandits, everyone did not go directly to Heishuizhuang from the nearby Mantou Mountain, but went into the mountain to the east and detoured to the Heishuizhuang from Pearl Mountain.
The crowd was directly divided into two teams in Pearl Mountain, one team went directly south to the periphery of the 100,000 Mountain in the south, and this wave was led by Li Mu, the third child. Originally, it was most suitable for Li Laosan or Goudan to lead the team, but one of these two people was seriously injured, and the other was uncertain about life and death, so Li Yong could only retreat to the next best thing and find Li Mu, who had no more experience in archery than Goudan to lead the team.
As for the other team, it was led by Li Yong himself, first escorting the old and young to Heishuizhuang, and then after settling those old and young, they then entered the 100,000 mountains southwest from Heishuizhuang. Of course, this team is slightly more dangerous, because Valan Village is in the southwest of Heishuizhuang.
However, it may be dark under the lights, and hiding here has avoided Waran Village.
The early morning sun shone on the mountain path, and the ox cart was still moving slowly, and at this time it had passed the Valan Mountain, and it was not far from the Heishui River ferry.
The driver changed from Tang Yi to a young man wearing a hat, and Tang Yi was already drunk in the ox cart, lying side by side with the corpse of the dog in the middle of the three piles of white bones.
Behind the ox cart, more than 20 black-clothed men rode tall horses and followed slowly, looking like accompanying guards.
In the crowd, a one-armed man in black squinted at the ox cart in front of him, his eyes were full of resentment, this person was the poisonous snake whose arm was cut off by Tang Yi.
It stands to reason that after being so seriously injured, he should rest for a few days, but the poisonous snake does not dare and does not want to rest. Maybe Huju Mountain is a famous faction, but Valan Village is not a decent person, but a group of bandits.
The bandits have no good intentions, and in their eyes there are only two kinds of people, one is a fat sheep to be slaughtered, and the other is a hunter who may become a fat sheep at any time. If his viper really loses his fighting ability and needs to recover by resting, then his companions around him will immediately become jackals and chew him up without hesitation.
The poisonous snake has long been accustomed to this kind of life, and if he is given a quiet and stable life, maybe he is not used to it. But habit is habit, he doesn't hate Tang Yi because of habit, but hates Tang Yi even more because of this habit.
If it weren't for the big boss who had already explained, as long as Tang Yi didn't interfere in the affairs of Valanzhai and Lijia Village, none of them would have to make a move on Tang Yi, otherwise he would have already taken advantage of Tang Yi's drunkenness to cut off Tang Yi's head.
I hope this kid won't let himself down, but he must hold on and don't be cowardly, otherwise he can't let him see his left-handed sword, and the viper is very disappointed.
The viper let go of the reins and gripped the three-foot sword hanging from his waist, the sword he had just replaced. Without the spear in his right hand, there is no point in continuing to hide the sword with a two-foot thin sword.
At this time, Tang Yi, who had slept all night, finally woke up, he first touched the wine jar beside him, and after finding that the jar was empty, he scratched his head and sat up. When he saw the stranger wearing a hat beside him, Tang Yi was slightly stunned at first, and then said hello.
"Morning!"
The young man in the hat ignored Tang Yi, like a mute, neither nodded nor spoke, and didn't even glance at Tang Yi with his eyes, just stared directly at the mountain road in front of him, tears flowed non-stop.
The boy neither wiped his tears nor made any sound, like a wooden man, and only when he needed to turn did he shake the reins and wave the whip in his hand.
Tang Yi stared at the young man for a moment, then turned his gaze and looked around.
In fact, the scenery around the mountains is not much different, except for the slight difference in the shape of the mountains in the distance, the trees are still those trees, the grass is still those grasses, and the rocks are still strangely shaped.
Gollum~
Since eating those grilled fish yesterday morning, Tang Yi has not eaten for a day, and he didn't feel hungry because he was drunk before, but now when he woke up, the bodhisattvas in the Five Organs Temple naturally wanted to protest dissatisfied.
Tang Yi was hesitating whether to go into the forest to catch some birds and beasts, when he suddenly caught a glimpse of the black-clothed people following behind, and he immediately grinned.
After he jumped down with the car, he searched the crowd, and when he saw the only poisonous snake he had dealt with and had his arm cut off, Tang Yi immediately strode into the crowd and grabbed the bridle of the black horse under the viper seat.
"Brother, there's no alcohol. ”
When he saw the smiling eyes of everyone looking at him, the poisonous snake gritted his teeth and glared at Tang Yi hatefully, then took off a bag from the saddle and threw it to Tang Yi casually.
Tang Yi took it and opened it and sniffed it, a bag full of wine smelled better than what he had drunk before. In his previous life, although Tang Yi drank with his brothers in the same dormitory, he couldn't tell the difference between the quality of the wine, but even so he could smell that it was good, obviously this wine was really good.
This is not surprising, the Varan bandits are not drinking the wild fruit wine coarsely brewed in ordinary villages and alleys, but the wine brewed by the demon beast Neidan with various herbs and the clear spring in the mountains, which is naturally not the same grade as those wild fruit wines.
After Tang Yi nodded with satisfaction, he continued to look at the poisonous snake with a smile, "One guest doesn't bother the two masters, let's have some more food, and use it for wine." ”
The poisonous snake pursed his lips, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, and threw it to Tang Yi. After Tang Yi took the oil paper bag, he shook the reins and was about to cross Tang Yi, but Tang Yi grabbed his horse bridle again.
"There are two of us, how can we divide this pot of wine and a bag of food?"
The poisonous snake frowned, pulled the reins hard, and after breaking free of Tang Yi's hand, he said with an indifferent face: "It's gone!"
With that, he rode past Tang Yi and overtook the ox cart. Seeing this, one person at the front of the crowd said hello to Tang Yi with a smile, and then asked someone to give him two bags of wine, seven or eight oiled paper packets.
"Ordinary people can't eat too much of these things. When Tang Yi returned to the ox cart, the man said from afar.
When Tang Yi heard this, he didn't rush to hand the oiled paper bag to the young man with a hat beside him, but opened it and looked at it. A few oil-paper packets were full of cooked meat, but it didn't look like beef, and I don't know what it was.
Tang Yi still remembered these guys eating people, so he hesitated for a moment after seeing the cooked meat, and then twisted the smallest piece and put it in his mouth.
The taste of cooked meat is extremely good, and the meat texture is also very good, more delicious than the roast goose in Heishuizhuang, and these meats contain a strange energy, which seems to be the meat of demon beasts. Tang Yi had heard people say before that after killing the demon beast, some people would not be able to take out the demon pill of the demon beast, so that the demon power in the demon pill would naturally dissipate into the meat of the demon beast, and take the meat to roast and eat.
It is said to be very good for martial artists, but Tang Yi has never eaten it. Lack of money, there are those demon pills, it is better to sell them for money. Although this kind of meat is beneficial, the value of it is not high when it can be sold, and it is much worse than the demon pill.
Tang Yi handed a pot of wine and a pack of cooked meat to the young man in the hat, and when he saw that he didn't answer, he pouted and stuffed it into the young man's arms, as for whether the other party ate it or not, he didn't care.
After eating and drinking, Tang Yi lay down on the ox cart and fell asleep, but I don't know if he had slept enough before, or if he was good at drinking, he didn't sleep so dead this night, and vaguely felt that the ox cart seemed to shake up and down.
After Tang Yi opened his eyes slightly, he saw that the ox cart had arrived and stopped on the boat.
The ship was not very large, about two zhang wide and seven or eight zhang long, and after the ox cart stopped on the deck, the ox cart stopped at the bow and took up most of the bow space. At the stern of the boat, seven or eight black-clothed men led the war horses, but the one-armed man was not found in the crowd, presumably because this person didn't want to ride in the same boat with Tang Yi.
Tang Yi pursed his lips, muttered "A hundred years of repair, and the same boat", then glanced at the seven or eight empty oil paper bags on the ox cart, and then jumped off the ox cart and walked towards the stern.
The speed of going against the current is not fast, and it is not until the sunset when the west mountain is full of red glow that everyone feels the ferry port of Heishuizhuang. This time, the people of Valanzhai did not follow the ox cart to continue their journey, but stayed in Heishui Village, waiting for the rest of their companions who had not yet crossed the river.
Without the Varan bandits with wine and food, and a wordless wooden lump sitting next to him, Tang Yi was a lot bored along the way, and sat in the front of the car in a daze looking at the mountains and forests in the distance.
With the departure of most of the villagers, the small mountain village immediately became much more desolate, the village is still such a big village, and the houses are still those old and new houses, but they are less popular.
The elders who had inconvenient legs and feet had already lived near Granny Ma's house, and among them was the lame elder.
Since he drank a meal of wine that night, the relationship between the lame clan elder and Li Lao has now been much better, and at this time he is standing behind Li Lao and pointing out the country. Of course, the lame people of Go will always not, and chess is also a stinky basket.
At the call of the lame clan elder, at this time, the little divine doctor and Li Lao had already changed to chess, and if they didn't change to chess, this lame clan old man would be too annoying. Of course, with the cultivation of Elder Li and the Little Divine Doctor, they naturally didn't care about this time, and even if they didn't want to hear it, the voice of the lame clan elder wouldn't even reach their ears.
But Granny Ma also lives here, and in the end, Granny Ma hid their Go, forcing them to switch to chess.
After a hundred days of injured muscles and bones, Li Laosan injured his internal organs and broke seven or eight ribs, so naturally it was impossible for him to heal so quickly. Fortunately, he didn't break his hands and feet, so after two days of recuperation by the little miracle doctor, he was able to get out of bed and move two steps out of the room at this time.
At this time, Xiufeng was supporting Li Laosan, walking slowly back and forth in the yard.
The Goudan house, which is a street away from Granny Ma's house, has finally become brand new after two days of diligent cleaning by the Goudan daughter-in-law, just like the new house when they first got married, beautifully furnished.
The doors and windows were pasted with big red happy characters, the bed was replaced with a big red quilt from the wedding, and even the kerosene lamp in the house was ripped off by her, and a red candle was inserted that was used when she got married and another when her son got married.
Except for the two white lanterns outside the gate, the whole house is like a happy event.
