Chapter 7: Descending the Mountain
Chapter 7: Descending the Mountain
Wang Xiaochuan looked at the eight words scribbled on the wall, and faintly understood something in his heart. "Damn! It's all my fault, old man, don't worry, I will definitely cultivate hard, and I will save you!" he shook his hands vigorously, then turned and walked out of the stone chamber.
Wang Xiaochuan, who had left the stone room, looked at the surrounding flowers and trees, and his eyes showed confusion. He felt extremely lonely, the tragedy of more than a month ago had made him lose everything, and now he had lost once again a person who could make his heart feel warm, he didn't know where the road ahead was, how long and rugged the road was. All this can only be explored by himself. Wang Xiaochuan came to the cliff before and sat down, quietly looking at the scenery under the cliff in a daze. Until nightfall, Wang Xiaochuan began to feel that his eyelids were a little heavy, fell back, lay down with his head back, and fell into a deep sleep.
Early in the morning, Wang Xiaochuan came out of the waterfall pool and shook his head vigorously, as if he wanted to clean up the excess negative emotions in his brain. "Hey. . . Wang Xiaochuan sighed, put on his clothes and walked along the trail down the mountain in his memory. "Rustle. I don't know how long later, Wang Xiaochuan came out of a bush, spit out the blades of grass in his mouth, and patted the dust on his body and head. Wang Xiaochuan froze and looked at a blood-colored ruin not far away. More than a month has passed since that earth-shattering battle, because of the blockade of the Northern Yao Kingdom, Longbei Mountain began to gradually regain its vitality, but the village under the mountain has disappeared forever, leaving only a shocking ravine silently telling the tragic disaster! Wang Xiaochuan knelt on the ground and held a handful of blood-colored soil in both hands, his expression gloomy. After "tearing" putting the soil in his hand back to the ground, Wang Xiaochuan tore off a small strip of cloth from the tattered clothes on his body, grabbed a little dirt from the ground, put it into the strip of cloth, wrapped it tightly and stuffed it into his belt, and after doing this, he got up and left the blood-colored ruins.
At noon, there was a masonry outpost not far from the foot of Longbei Mountain, and there was a wooden sentry tower next to the outpost. Inside the watchtower, two soldiers yawned boredly. "Hah, ahhhh Immortals fight mortals suffer, and a good village is gone. . . "Shhh "Hmm, damn, you want to suffocate Lao Tzu. The soldier who called Li Laosan pushed his companion away and scolded. "Shut up! You want to die Mora on Lao Tzu!" "Huang Tai look at your cowardice, what Lao Tzu said is the truth, I'm afraid of Mao!" "Encourage your uncle, Li Laosan, don't forget why we were thrown into this place. Huang Tai stared at Li Laosan fiercely and shouted. "If you don't say it, you don't say it... Being yelled at by Huang Tai like this, Li Laosan's attitude immediately coaxed him and muttered in a low voice. "Hmph! Lao Tzu has really fallen into eight lifetimes of mold. There isn't a single living person in this hellish place. Huang Tai turned his head to look at Longbei Mountain angrily.
After a while, a figure appeared in the distance at the foot of Longbei Mountain, slowly walking towards the outpost. "Li San! Let's see if there's someone!" Huang Tai suddenly shouted on the watchtower. "Where?" Li San looked in the direction Huang Tai pointed to. "It's someone, the third child hurry down and take a look. Huang and Li picked up the weapons around them and went down to the guard tower.
"Strange, when did there be an extra sentry tower here?" Wang Xiaochuan had just walked out of Longbei Mountain, and saw a sentry station from a distance, and when he slowly approached, he saw two people walking towards him. "Stop, where did you come from?" Li San and Huang Tai stopped Wang Xiaochuan and asked. "Woo, two eldest brothers, the younger brother is young and frivolous to travel around, before the strayed into this place was trapped for a long time, just found the way out of the mountain, and finally came out alive, woo woo... Wang Xiaochuan grabbed the hands of the two strangers in front of him and cried bitterly. Huang Tai and Li San looked at the red-haired young man in ragged clothes in front of them, and saw that his crying expression did not seem to be fake, and immediately believed it.
"Hey, what about you?" Li San said as he stared at Wang Xiaochuan, and Huang Tai also looked at it with interest.
Wang Xiaochuan cried even more when he heard this. "Woo, the two eldest brothers don't know, I didn't bring any dry food when I strayed into this place, I was hungry and anxious to pick some mushrooms on the mountain to eat, I didn't expect these mushrooms to be poisonous, after eating my whole body was red as if I was in a furnace, I thought this life was confessed, and then I fainted in heat, and my hair became like this when I woke up. Whining.. ”
"Alright, alright, what are you crying about, manly husband, let's go, go to the outpost with my brothers, and see if you haven't eaten for a long time. Seeing the young man in front of him crying so badly, Huang and Li stopped interrogating. Pulled Wang Xiaochuan into the outpost.
The three of them sat around a rudimentary wooden table with a bamboo basket covered with cloth and a jar of wine on it. "Come on, little brother eat. Li San picked up the cloth covered on the bamboo basket and took out two plates of meat and a few large white steamed buns from the bamboo basket. There are also a few appetizers such as peanuts. Wang Xiaochuan picked up a white steamed bun and began to gobble it up, "Ahem!" "Haha, eat slowly, don't choke, eat meat and vegetables, little brother doesn't drink, Lao Huang go get the dishes and chopsticks." "Don't call Lao Tzu. After Huang Tai scolded Li San, he got up and walked towards a room in the outpost. "This old yellow is really, haha. Little brother, you don't know, it's been a long time since Lao Huang and I were transferred to this ghost place. Where is the little brother from, and what do you call it? How did you stray into the mountains? Li San seemed to be very interested in the red-haired young man who came out of the mountains in front of him, and his mouth kept talking. Wang Xiaochuan didn't know how to answer for a while, so he stopped eating in his hand, put down the steamed bun, and was about to speak.
"Bring the bowl, drink!" At this time, Huang Tai just came out of the room and saw Wang Xiaochuan with a blank face. "Haha, little brother, don't be surprised, Li Laosan's mouth is very broken, I can't wait to tear his stinky mouth!" Huang Tai sat down and took out three dishes and chopsticks, and poured them full of wine. "Hehe, it's my third brother who is not good, my little brother came to drink wine and eat meat, I did this bowl first. Li Laosan picked up the big bowl of wine on the table and drank it up. "Cool! Li Laosan put down the bowl and laughed. "Li Laosan, don't get drunk, and ask Lao Tzu to carry it. "You fart, Huang Tai!" Huang Li and the two of you began to quarrel one by one. Wang Xiaochuan looked at the two strangers in front of him, and his heart warmed. He picked up the wine bowl on the table, followed Li San's example, and drank it up. "Wow! It's so spicy... Wang Xiaochuan was spicy and straight, and he looked very embarrassed.
"Haha, little brother, you don't know how to drink. Huang and Li laughed when they saw this. Wang Xiaochuan also laughed, and the laughter of the three of them became louder and louder, and the laughter spread out of the outpost, making this outpost that was originally standing quietly in the wilderness suddenly lively.
After three rounds of drinking, there were two more empty wine jars on the table, and the faces of the three began to flush. "Come! The younger brother Wang Xiaochuan respects the two brothers a bowl, and also respects the younger brother for surviving all his life. Wang Xiaochuan got up and picked up the wine bowl with a flushed face and drank it all. "Haha, okay! Brother Xiaochuan, I didn't see that I learned very quickly, this amount of wine is more than the two of us, haha, drink!. Huang and Li grabbed the wine bowl and saluted. "Eat the vegetables, eat the vegetables. The three of them drank like this until night, and Li Laosan lay on the table like a dead pig and snored. Wang Xiaochuan fell to the ground and fell asleep. There was a mess on the table. Huang Tai, the only one who was not drunk, sat at the table and kept burping. He got up and fumbled drunkenly on his body, and at last he found a fire fold and blew it, and walked out of the outpost slowly, and after lighting all the lights outside the outpost, he returned to the house and lay on his back on a bench and fell asleep.
After a brief period of bustle, the outpost returned to calm, and the sound of insects chirping in the silence of the night was unusually clear. Wang Xiaochuan, who fell asleep on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes, only to see him slowly get up and not dare to make a sound, for fear of waking up Huang and Li who were sleeping soundly. Wang Xiaochuan got up and stood up straight, solemnly saluted the two, and turned to leave the outpost.
The midday sun was scorching on the ground, and somewhere by an unknown stream, a ragged boy was squatting by the stream with his head down and drinking water. After drinking the water, the boy took out the water bag he was carrying with him and filled it with water, and then began to look around. "Hey, where the hell is this, I already knew to ask those two big brothers. The young man was Wang Xiaochuan, who had left the outpost, and at the moment he was looking around with a sad face, he was too anxious when he left last night, and he was unfamiliar with the road, so he was lost.
"Let's go down the stream first. Wang Xiaochuan thought for a while and began to walk in the direction of the stream. After walking for about two or three hours, Wang Xiaochuan heard a voice not far below the stream, and he hurriedly ran.
"Miss Lu Family, hand over the Sword Code and leave you with the whole corpse!"
"Lu Zhi, hand over the sword codex, my sister will spare you from dying. ”
"You dog thieves, don't think about it!"
"Since the eldest lady doesn't know the current affairs, then don't blame the brothers for being rude. ”
Wang Xiaochuan cautiously hid in a grass and looked at the opposite side. There were three women and five men, five of whom were surrounded by two women and a woman, and the atmosphere was very tense. The two women who were surrounded were like sisters, and the older sister protected her sister behind her. The younger sister hid behind her sister and kept trembling, the two sisters were covered with blood, and the sister's body was stained red with nearly half of the blood, and the seven people who surrounded the two sisters each had wounds of different sizes, and some of the blood stains had not yet dried.
"Yes! She's at the end of her crossbow. "Seven people each with weapons to attack the sisters of the Lu family!
