Chapter 690: Night Run
Liu Haoxuan should go down.
The two of them simply packed up and made up their minds to leave early in the morning. At the moment, they rest and don't think much about it.
Liu Yu slept until midnight when he heard someone knocking on the door. The voice was soft, as if it were afraid of being heard. He got up to open the door, and when he saw that it was Chang Ren, he couldn't help but be stunned, and frowned for a moment, "What do you mean by this?" ”
The wind outside the door was not too strong, and it was as if the heavens and the earth had fallen asleep. Chang Ren's face was excited, carrying a small burden, and said with a smile: "My lord, I am here to join you." ”
Huaishou and Xiansheng nodded nervously, echoing Changren.
"Nonsense." Liu Yu's eyes flashed, and he reprimanded first, and was about to close the door.
Chang Ren was anxious, "My lord, the three of us sneaked out, if you refuse to take us in, we really won't be able to go down the mountain tomorrow......"
Liu Yu refused to move, still calmed his face, and reprimanded in displeasure, "The old valley master has already spoken, and I don't want you to follow me down the mountain." Liu Yu didn't have the opportunity to lead the three little brothers to fight in the army, so let's stop it. ”
Chang Ren wanted to say something, but he interrupted him, and he closed the door with a cold face.
No matter what Chang Ren said at this moment, he just didn't hear it. Lying down on the bed alone, listening to the footsteps fading outside, I couldn't help but smile. This sleep, finally settled. Waking up in the morning, briefly freshening up, packing up the few things, Liu Yu led Liu Haoxuan to say goodbye to the valley master.
Because only the two of them left, the valley lord was full of smiles and personally sent people out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. Standing under the strange towering tree again, Liu Yu hugged his fists and said goodbye to the valley master. The valley lord was not stingy either, and ordered a descendant to follow them with a glowing stone, and sent them out of the miasma forest all the way.
The road down the mountain is brisk, because the doubts in his heart have been solved, Liu Yu can be regarded as an arrow. At present, the newborn child is already full of the joy of fatherhood. Liu Haoxuan was in a good mood when he saw him smiling, and he was also very happy.
The descent was fast, but you still had to stay overnight halfway up the mountain. It's still the same cave as they were last time, it's the same as it was when they left.
As soon as the bonfire was raised and the dry food was just hot, Liu Yu was tearing off a piece of beef jerky and eating it slowly, when he heard the sound of rapid footsteps. He raised his head and looked around, and soon saw three vigorous figures.
He smiled, pretending not to see, still eating dry food with his head down.
Chang Ren didn't know where he was staying tonight, and was struggling to find the two of them. Suddenly I saw the fire blazing, and then smelled the aroma of beef in the air, and I didn't have to guess to know that I had found someone. The three of them happily approached the two of them, but Liu Yu still lowered his head and pretended not to see it.
Chang Ren was stunned, "My lord." The joy in his voice could not be concealed.
Liu Yu raised his head suddenly, as if he had just noticed the three of them, and couldn't help frowning, "Why are you here?" ”
Liu Haoxuan came out of the cave, and when he saw the three of them, he was also surprised, "The old valley lord doesn't want you to come out to fight, why are you still here?" ”
Chang Ren was afraid that Liu Yu would not want the three of them, so he immediately explained the situation of the three of them sneaking out of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley one by one. Speaking of the future, the three of them were embarrassed, touched their heads and said shyly: "We sneaked out, if we are caught, I am afraid that the mountain will not be able to go down in the future." You have to wait until you are seventeen or eighteen years old, or you can be put down from the mountain in your twenties. ”
The three of them often went down the mountain to buy things and buy and sell herbs, and the old valley owner was very relieved of them. But if you want to make the three of them join the army to fight and leave their hometowns, where can the old valley master be willing to do it?
Tonight, I took advantage of the familiarity with the terrain of the valley to sneak out of the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons. If you change it to tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, I am afraid that you can't be so casual.
Liu Yu's eyes flickered, he lowered his head and stared at the cooked dry food on the branches, and asked, "Have you thought about it?" ”
The three of them spoke in unison, "I've thought about it." ”
Liu Yu raised his head and stared at the faces of the three people, under the firelight of the night, the faces of the three people were written with sincerity, eagerness and longing. It's not like he's never seen such a look. But this is the first time I have seen such a pure look of anticipation.
To tell the truth, the three teenagers in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons are not of much use at this moment.
However, they have lived in seclusion in the valley for generations, and their ancestors have never descended from the mountains or out of the valley for generations. Now the three of them are not ambiguous when they go down the mountain to buy, and they are not timid at all if they want to follow him to fight in the army.
Just because he was not timid about this, he dared to keep them by his side.
Now, they have the spirit to join the army to fight, and in the future, they will have the courage to defend the frontier. Because they are different from ordinary people. The psychology they want to break through is ten million times more than that of ordinary people.
Those young men who have lived in towns and cities for generations still lack the courage to join the army, let alone people like them who have lived in seclusion in the mountains and valleys for generations.
Liu Yu laughed.
The three of them didn't know what he was laughing at, and they were all a little confused. Chang Ren is the most human, and he almost cried with a bitter face at the moment, "Isn't your lord going to want us?" "He said that he would take them to fight in the army, but just because of the valley master's words, he changed his mind?
"If the adults don't want the three of us, they will be beaten by the old valley master when they go back." Chang Ren was bitter and became more and more sad.
The three teenagers stared at Liu Yu nervously, as if they were being judged by Liu Yu.
Liu Yu laughed more and more, sighed after laughing, nodded and said, "Okay, since you are bent on fighting in the army, then let's follow." Inevitably, the valley lord sent someone to look for it, so let's go down the mountain. ”
There are many dreams in the night, and no one knows the situation in the Valley of Ten Thousand Poisons, so of course the three of them are eager to leave immediately, and they nodded quickly.
Liu Yu packed up his things, Liu Haoxuan carried the burden on his back, and the five of them walked down the mountain road. Although it was pitch black, it was not slow.
Because the three young people are used to walking, they are too familiar with mountain roads.
Because of the sky, the gloomy sky was suddenly torn apart by the bright moon. The moonlight poured down like mercury all over the mountains, illuminating the mountain road, illuminating the heavens and the earth, and illuminating the faces of everyone.
It also illuminates the hearts of all people.
It's not as fast as when you come back, because Liu Yu and Liu Haoxuan are galloping on horseback when they come. But when he went back to Jiankang Mansion, he was dragged by three teenagers. All three could not ride horses, so they could only walk. Liu Yugui was like an arrow, unwilling to pull the three of them, and worried that the three of them would encounter something bad on the road, so he had to repair a book.
To the nearest barracks, the head of the battalion will take care of the three people and send them back to health safely.
But the letter was sent by the three themselves. In Liu Yu's words, since he decided to join the army to fight, it was as simple as sending a letter and hurrying to the road. If you can't even reach the hundred miles of mountain road safely, then there is no need to fight with him.
Although Chang Ren and the three of them were also a little timid, they finally had the courage to carry the letter.
Liu Yu watched the three of them leave, and then led Liu Haoxuan to gallop. Still turning back the same way, when we reached the deep mountain pass, the tiger's corpse was long gone, and the wind and snow had not dispersed. The ashes of the bonfire were still there, but it was not known who had turned the site after the war.
