Chapter 14: The Unbearable Noise
Noah looked around at the rolling hills, and saw no people, as if only this hut stood alone among the lush greenery, left behind and independent.
"How long have I been unconscious?"
"Two days."
"Two days?" Noah was taken aback: "May I ask where this is?" ”
"In the mountains." The answer was so concise that the man did not lift his head.
"In the mountains?"
"The Taihang Mountains a few hundred miles away from the capital."
Noah's heart sank, it turned out that she had been away from him for so long, so far away: "How could I be here?" ”
"Of course, I brought you here."
"I know, I mean, my home is in the capital."
The man snorted coldly, full of disdain: "Are you sure it's your home?" ”
Noah turned around to see the man's appearance, and found that he was also wearing half a mask on his face, only covering his eyes, revealing most of his face, which looked like a knife and axe, calm and resolute.
At first glance, he is cold-blooded and stubborn.
"Who are you?"
The man slowly stood up and wiped the sword from his hand: "You really don't know me anymore?" ”
Noah shook her head: "Did we know each other before?" ”
"Then you don't know each other."
The voice was cold, without the slightest warmth, and a little hostile. The sword in his hand was sharpened brightly, and it also exuded a cold air.
Noah intuitively felt that this person was very strange, the sword in his hand seemed to be ready to move all the time, and the object was himself. So she wanted to leave this ghost place as soon as possible: "Thank you for your rescue, we will see you another day, and we will repay each other with a spring." ”
The man did not stop him, and said nothing, and when Noah reached the entrance of the courtyard, a silver light slashed in front of him, and less than three inches from her feet, he entered the stone for three points, and made a "buzzing" sound of contention, which was the long sword in his hand.
Noah was stunned and didn't dare to move, and obediently took two steps back. He walked up to him, drew his long sword from the cracked stone, and shook his head helplessly: "It's going to be sharpened again, it's really troublesome." ”
"Who the hell are you?" Noah couldn't help but ask, "What do you want?" ”
The man went straight back to the whetstone, lowered his head to sharpen his knife, and said angrily: "You can move freely in the courtyard, but you can't take half a step out of the courtyard." ”
This is, put yourself under house arrest? I have long known that this person must be uneasy and kind, if he really has a purpose, does he want to be a lady or a cook?
A hero doesn't suffer immediate losses, not to mention that he is not a hero, and he is definitely not the opponent of the strange man in front of him. So Noah pursed her lips, turned back, sat down in front of the man with no face, and began to mutter.
"Yourself here?"
"Then you have to eat and drink Lazar, right? Aren't you afraid that I'll take the opportunity to run away? ”
"Do you have a daughter-in-law? If not, I'll introduce you to one. ”
"Always wearing a mask, the girl's family can't see your face, how can you look at each other? It doesn't look too ugly. ”
"You probably caught me and wanted to kidnap me and sell me to the Qinglou to sell silver, right?"
"Then I can tell you, my worth is not low, if I send you away for a few taels of silver, then you will suffer a big loss!"
"Or, let's make a deal, how much money do you want, I'll give it to you, and you let me go? …… Hey, it's not right for you to sharpen your sword like this! ”
Noah simply broke his heart.
The man finally couldn't stand Noya's noise, and stood up suddenly: "Sure enough, those who are close to Zhu are red and those who are close to ink are black, and with that hundred miles and nine, you have learned such an oily tone." ”
Noah smiled "hehe", and instantly understood two questions: first, this person really knows himself, and he may know himself quite well.
Second, he saved himself, premeditated, purposeful, and hostile, but he did not dare to help himself.
Noah is even more faceless and skinless, chasing behind him, chattering non-stop, she is not afraid that he will be angry, as long as he speaks, he will always leak a clue. Anyway, the yard is only so small, if you really get bored, you can leave here, you can't ask for it.
The man was almost mad by the noise, gritted his teeth, and unsheathed his sword: "If you make such noise again, believe it or not, I will tie you up and gag your mouth." ”
Noah could only shut up stupidly: "But I'm hungry." ”
Come to think of it, it seems like I haven't eaten for at least two days.
The man didn't say a word, turned around and walked into the kitchen on the side, she followed behind, there was also complete oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, there was also grain and rice, and there were strips of smoked bacon hanging on the roof beams, but there were no vegetables and vegetables.
Without saying a word, the man scooped up the rice, plucked a piece of bacon from the beam, cut it into pieces with his sword, which he had killed an unknown number of people, and threw it into the pot, to make a fire.
Noya hurriedly stretched out her hand to stop it, with a look of disgust: "The rice you cook like this has a smoky taste, which is no different from paste, how to eat it?" ”
The man hesitated for a moment, looked at Noah, and consciously dodged away, but he still stood aside, staring at the movements in her hands, full of vigilance.
Noya fished out the bacon, cleaned it carefully, and turned back to him and stretched out his hand: "Borrow your sword and use it." ”
He bent down and tossed for a while, puffing out a rusty notched kitchen knife from underneath and handing it to Noah, obviously a little jealous of her.
Noya instructed him unceremoniously: "Grind it, this ghost looks, how to cut vegetables?" Cutting tofu is laborious. ”
He stood still. Noah knew that he was worried about what he was doing with the meal. I could only get up helplessly, went outside to get a whetstone, sharpened it "ho-ho", and muttered in a low voice: "I'm afraid that I'm drugged, so I'm not afraid that I'll sharpen the knife and chop you?" ”
The man's ears were bright, and he sneered coldly: "You are different from the past now, and you don't have that ability." ”
To tell the truth, Noya pouted, if the tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs, the down-and-out phoenix was not as good as a chicken, he had no kung fu, a vendor selling tea bowls dared to pull his collar and shout, any person can look down on himself like this. She began to fantasize that if one day, she could be as powerful as in her dreams, with a sword in her hand, killing people like cutting cucumber vegetables, who would dare to say a word of nonsense to herself?
Noah was hungry and had no strength, and the man looked impatient, so he snatched the kitchen knife from her hand, sharpened it in three or two times, and washed it clean. Noah pouted again, then went back to the house to cut meat and cook rice, and directed the man around.
The bacon pot rice, it smells fragrant, and it tastes good, both of them gobbled it up and ate it all the way. Noah thought that it would be nice if this man talked more than he ate rice, and he would not be bored. is so silent, like a gourd without a mouth, it has a fight with Bingluo, but it is more cunning.
After eating bacon for two or three days in a row, Noah felt that his burps were full of smoky taste, as if he had raw firewood in his stomach and intestines, and all his internal organs were burnt. The man ate two more days than he did, if not longer.
She sat in the courtyard and watched the sky, pouting the man: "Hey! After eating bacon several times in a row, can you go to the mountains to catch some game, pick some fresh wild vegetables and come back, and the birds are fading out of your mouth. ”
"Hey, hey" is the name Noah gave to the man, and he will be called when he is approached.
"Can't!" In addition to eating Noya's cooking, his mouth was shorter, and his tone was better, and he still had a bitter hatred for Noah digging his ancestral grave on weekdays.
"I'm going to follow your ass and I'm not going to run away." She retreated to the next best.
"Nope."
"So you're afraid of me. Was it often beaten by me before? ”
The man didn't speak, he didn't refute, as if acquiescing. Noah barely had a mental balance.
It began to rain at night, and when Noah was cooking again, he deliberately put more bacon: "This is the last bit of bacon, and there will be no more after eating." ”
After boiling for another day and eating a day's white water rice, the rice jar has bottomed out.
"How long are we going to stay here?"
"I don't know."
"Are you waiting for someone? Or wait for the ransom? ”
The man was silent.
"It's raining for two days in a row, the mountain road is rugged and difficult, and there are mudslides, so it must have been delayed on the road, or something has changed."
"Impossible." He replied in no uncertain terms.
Noah can be sure that he is really waiting for someone, and his kung fu is not low, he is not afraid of muddy mountain roads, there will be no accidents or accidents, and he is also a more dangerous person.
I can't open the pot.
After some deliberation, the man took the rope and tied Noah tightly.
"Hey, what are you doing?"
"Didn't you say you wanted to go to the mountains and get some food?"
"But what are you tying me up for? What should I do if I encounter a bear hungry wolf or something? ”
"You think too much, don't say no, even if you do, if I don't tie you up, you won't be able to escape."
Noya muttered unconvinced: "Knowing that I can't escape, what are you doing with such effort?" ”
"Just in case."
Noah had no choice but to obediently let the man tie himself up and drag him like a dog.
Noah doesn't know what it is, but she can be sure that it is inaccessible in the mountains, because there are many prey in the mountains, and it is easy to catch them if they are dumbfounded.
She excitedly commanded the man: "Hey, up there, there's a feathered pheasant up there!" ”
"Hey, there, there, there's a fat rabbit hidden in the bushes! I caught it and kept it. ”
The stone in the man's hand was full of shots, and the shot was fierce and precise. With his skills, catching himself is like an eagle catching a chicken, and he can't escape if he wants to.
Noah was honest, watching him bend down and string his prey, hang it around his waist, and walk in front of her, shaking and dripping, still dripping blood. From time to time dying and struggling.
Why did she feel that she was also the prey of the man's waist? As soon as the people who are waiting come, they will throw it into the pot and boil, right?
"Shall we pick some more wild vegetables and mushrooms?" She discussed kindly: "It has just rained, it looks very watery, and it is not too bitter." ”
"Don't eat it."
"If you don't eat it, I'll eat it."
"No matter!"
"I'll pick it myself, you don't have to worry about it."
The man glanced at it coldly: "There are so many poisonous mushrooms, do you want to die?" ”
I have a lot of knowledge.
"Stewed pheasant with mountain mushrooms, if you are timid, you can not eat it."
She angrily dragged the rope, bent down with great effort, picked out the wild vegetables and mountain mushrooms on the ground, carried them in her clothes, and returned with a full load.
