Chapter 170: The Road Blocker
As we continued to move north, the weather became colder and colder, especially in the morning and at night, and it was already so cold that it was hard to fall asleep without a quilt.
To make matters worse, this year also seems to have cooled down a bit earlier than usual. People can wear more, but once the road is icy, the carriage will not be able to move an inch!
So, despite being a little tired, we sped up our journey, and in just three days, we were already close to the Buxian Mountain area. During this period, he also passed by a big city, called the domestic city, which is a city under the jurisdiction of the Goguryeo tribe, because it is close to the Eastern Han Dynasty, there are merchants coming and going everywhere, and it is very lively. But in order to avoid trouble, we did not linger too much in the city, only made a simple supply and left in a hurry.
However, it didn't take long for me to know what a mistake I had made! It's already getting into the mountains, it's sparsely populated, and it's really hard to find a suitable place to stay! Fortunately, there were a lot of rabbits, deer, roe deer and other small animals in the nearby woods, and we brought bows and arrows, so we didn't have a problem eating.
Seeing that the sun was about to set again today, the temperature plummeted, and the chill was chilling, I looked at the endless wilderness and woodland around me, and couldn't help but sigh.
Wang Shaoting and I are nothing, how can we make do with it, but the two girls have really not eaten and slept well recently, which inevitably makes me feel ashamed.
"Let's find a sheltered place to stop the fire, because if you run into a wild boar after dark, it will be troublesome." I proposed.
"Senior brother, I see that you seem to be very familiar with the environment here in the past two days? Been here before? Hearing me say this, Rui Wei asked curiously.
"Well, I grew up here, but that was a long, long time ago."
"Then you can't be a Goguryeo too, right?"
"Do you look like me?"
The Goguryeo people are actually the ancestors of the current Korean people, although they are also Chinese in a broad sense, but because of the different living environments, the dietary structure, customs, language, and even appearance are different.
I, Tao Yong, am a native of the Han nationality in the Northeast, and Tao Zhihuan grew up in the Central Plains, so from any point of view, I will not look like a Goguryeo.
"I look like it, and I look like it when I eat it." She was unceremoniously suspicious of my pedigree.
That's right, the cuisine of the Korean nationality is also an important part of the diet of the common people in the Northeast, what kinds of kimchi, dog meat soup, cold noodles, sticky rats...... I love everything.
"Haha! I'm not a picky eater, and if you say that, I'm like any other tribe. ”
"Yes, the four-legged ones don't eat the bench, the two-legged ones don't eat people, and the rest is fine." Wang Shaoting suddenly interjected next to him and teased me.
"That's it, it's good to feed!" I didn't care, and smirked.
I was laughing when I heard a "whoosh" sound, and at the same time I was pulled by a hand and almost fell under the car! Then I heard a "bang", as if something had hit the roof of the car.
I looked up in amazement and saw that it was a feathered arrow! And there is a small bell tied to the end of the arrow, and the bell rings freely!
And the person who pulled me was, of course, Rui Wei, who had been talking to me. But looking at the height of the arrow, it doesn't look like it's going to hit us.
Just as they were stunned, Rui Wei and Yue Ningmei had already jumped out of the car, standing side by side with me and Wang Shaoting, looking in the direction where the arrow was flying.
In the hazy twilight, in the woods that seemed to be empty just now, several figures suddenly flashed, quickly approaching us.
Before I could speak, one of them who was at the forefront had already said aloud: "The golden bell opens the way, and the passers-by stay; The rivers and lakes are a family, and the more goods do not kill! I advise you not to resist, we will naturally leave after taking our things. ”
What are these words? It's better to say the classic sentence "I opened this mountain, I planted this tree, if you want to live from now on, leave to buy road wealth"!
Could it be that it is not fashionable to say these words in the current era?
Whatever, the meaning is the same anyway, just want to rob!
"Looks like we've met a ringing horse!" I whispered to the three of them.
Wang Shaoting shook his head and said, "They are not Xiangma, they are Hu people. ”
Hu people? I only know that this is another name for some northern minorities in ancient times, but since they have also engaged in robbery, I don't realize the difference between them and Xiangma.
No matter what the name is, I took a closer look and found that there were still a lot of them, and there were more than a dozen of them in the field of vision, so there must be some hidden in the dark places in the forest that could be sideways.
If I could, I really didn't want to fight with them, after all, our goal now is to get to Buxian Mountain as soon as possible, and it would be best not to get into trouble.
"Is there a way to avoid them and escape?" I sighed, I knew it was a stupid question, so it was more like talking to myself.
"Yes." Rui Wei actually replied.
"What?"
"All stunned." She said calmly.
I can't help but sigh, Miss Rui Wei's dementor stick is not a vegetarian, and if these guys dare to act rashly, they will definitely be unlucky.
"I think it's okay to let Shaoting throw a smoke bomb at them." I have another proposal.
"No, it's empty and windy here, so the effect won't be good." Wang Shaoting immediately rejected this plan.
"Why don't you make some vines and entangle them all?" I turned back to Yue Ning and said.
She knew I wasn't in shape, so she just smiled and didn't say anything.
"And what are you responsible for?" Rui Wei asked.
"I'll show you now." As I spoke, I stepped forward and said loudly to the man: "Don't tell this benevolent brother that we have important things to do, and we happened to pass by the precious land, and we had to travel and eat and wear all the way, and our sleeves were already empty, and there was nothing to comfort you." Why don't we wait until we come back from our errands, and then go to the meeting with generous gifts? ”
"Pounce", I could clearly hear Rui Wei already snickering. She didn't necessarily laugh at my nonsense, but at my and serious attitude.
Sure enough, the other party was puzzled when he heard it, and he held back for a long time before he shouted: "What nonsense? You say there's no money, there's no money, we have to search to find out! ”
But I threw my hand at him and said, "The gentleman doesn't speak, there really isn't any, you see! As he spoke, he took out the money bag from his bosom and held it in his hand, as if he wanted to show him, and took the initiative to walk forward.
Now that it was getting dark, and there were five or six meters between us, he couldn't see what I was holding in my hand, until I walked up to him, and he saw that I was holding a money bag, and immediately reached out to take it.
There is an old saying that one trick is eaten all over the world. Compared with Rui Wei and the three of them, I will indeed have too few things, but the value is to be single-minded, so that the other party is taken hostage during the handover, except for eating turtles at Gonggong Qin, he has never missed.
Especially when the other party is ambitious, the effect is better. Just like this guy in front of him, when he sees the money bag, he doesn't even remember who he is, who do you say I don't kidnap him? (To be continued.) )
