Chapter 38 [Yangjiatun] (I)
The sparrow had never slept, and had listened to the conversation between the two of them clearly in the tent, and in response to the words of the wall, she lifted the tent and walked out, her expression obviously a little excited. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ ο½ο½ο½ο½
Luo Lie pointed at the sparrow and said, "Oh, you're actually eavesdropping on us!"
The sparrow snorted and said, "I didn't eavesdrop, the two of you are talking so loudly that people can't sleep, even if you block your ears, you can still hear it clearly." She came to Zhang Changgong and sat down: "Brother Zhang, can you tell me, where did you hear that the blood wolf haunts?"
Luo Lie coughed, thinking that the sparrow chose the right time to do it, after all, it was the blood wolf who took away Zhang Longbow's mother, and if the scar on Zhang Changgong's heart was uncovered when he mentioned this matter, the sparrow would be simpler in dealing with people after all.
Fortunately, Zhang Longbow didn't mind, sighed and said: "It should be near Mancangtun, but I have searched all the mountains in that area, not to mention the blood wolf, and I have not even seen the trace of the wolf." β
Sparrow said: "Is the blood wolf you are talking about very large, the size of a lion, with two eyes of different colors, one yellow and one blue?
Zhang Changgong was taken aback: "How do you know?" The shape of the blood wolf described by the sparrow was almost exactly the same as what the villagers who witnessed the blood wolf said that day.
"I haven't seen a blood wolf, but my father once came to Pale Mountain to explore, and he saw it in a place called Rokko Rock. β
Zhang Changgong said: "Liujia Rock, isn't it on the Black Tiger Ridge?"
Sparrow took out his father's notebook, flipped to the page about the blood wolf, and handed it to Zhang Longbow. Zhang Changgong shook his head with a wry smile and said, "I can't read!" In fact, there are many illiterate people in the mountains, Zhang Changgong is not illiterate, a few simple words, and his own name is recognized, but it only adds up to dozens of words, and it is indeed difficult for Sparrow to show him the notes.
Sparrow said: "Brother Zhang, I won't tell you anything, we came to Pale Mountain this time to look for something, and my father met a blood wolf on the way to find this thing in the past. She still wanted to move Zhang Longbow to join their team, if Zhang Longbow could join their team, it would definitely be of great help for the next action.
Zhang Changgong nodded, but did not speak, just took out his wine bag, unscrewed his mouth and poured a large sip of wine, and after a while he said in a low voice: "I haven't been to Black Tiger Ridge in the past few years, because Black Tiger Ridge is occupied by bandits, and the beasts have fled there, according to common sense, the blood wolf will not lurk there, but ......" His eyes were fixed on the notebook in the sparrow's hand, the sparrow should not lie to himself, the sparrow's father should have seen it with his own eyes, otherwise how could the shape of the blood wolf be recorded in such detail?
Luo Lie took the note and looked at it carefully, Ma Boxuan recorded it in great detail on this notebook, and also attached a hand-drawn illustration, the illustration was drawn with a wolf's head, a giant snout and fangs, and a fierce appearance.
Erdaoling is only three mountains away from Black Tiger Ridge, and at a normal speed, they can reach it in one day, but they can't rush into it until the condition of Black Tiger Ridge is discovered. Zhang Changgong's impression of Black Tiger Ridge was seven years ago, that was the last time he went there to hunt, as the bandits in Langya Village continued to grow, and the entire Black Tiger Ridge was full of bandits, he never went to the mountain again.
There is a Yangjiatun between Erdaoling and Heihuling, there are several families scattered in Tunzi, most of them are the old, weak, sick and disabled who are unable to travel far, although Yangjiatun is close to Heihuling, but in recent years it has not been disturbed by bandits, not because the bandits on the mountain have a good heart, but because Yangjiatun has nothing to rob, the only remaining seventeen people are all struggling to live on the edge of life and death, but fortunately there is no shortage of firewood in this mountain, winter heating can be solved, as for eating, you can only rely on the mountain to eat the mountain, relying on the mountain goods picked up in the autumn in the mountains, and hunting not much prey in the surrounding mountains and forests to barely make a living, although the days are difficult, but at least you can live miserablyγ
Zhang Changgong would come to Yangjiatun every once in a while to deliver some food to the old, weak, sick and disabled villagers who were detained here. This time is no exception, hearing that Zhang Changgong brought a friend to come, the thirteen old people who can still walk around in the village with a teenage child all came out to greet them, more than half of these thirteen old people are disabled, and what is even more shocking is that their disabilities are not congenital, or lack of hands and feet, or blind and black-nosed, at a glance they know that they are being harmed, and quietly asked Zhang Changgong to know that these disabled old people are all thanks to the group of bandits in the wolf's tooth village, and the cruelty of the bandits can be seen.
The child's name is Tiewa, thirteen years old this year, is the only child left in Yangjiatun, his parents died early, and only one grandmother is now paralyzed in bed, and it is precisely for this reason that he did not escape from the mountain, and stayed in Yangjiatun to take care of his grandmother. At a young age, chopping wood and carrying water, hunting and cooking, he has become the head of the family, in fact, he has also become the backbone of this tunzi, the old people left in the tunzi, the youngest age has also passed the sixtieth year, either seriously ill or disabled, and the only person who can barely be called a laborer is the half-grown child of Tiewa, it can be said that the reason why these old people in the tunzi have been able to survive until now is thanks to the care of the child Tiewa.
Zhang Changgong also happened to pass by and discovered the tragic situation in this tunzi, so he often came to help them. also took the time to teach Tiewa some kung fu self-defense, this child is not only hard-working and spiritual, but also makes Zhang Changgong appreciate that such a young child has responsibility and a fair heart.
Zhang Changgong distributed the tiger meat he brought to the villagers, Tiewa was already busy cooking on the fire, and the sparrow saw that he was so sensible at such a young age, and he also liked it quite a lot, and went to the kitchen to help him.
The two of them jointly organized a sumptuous dinner, Tiewa first took the rice bowl to feed her grandmother, and when she came back, she saw that Luo Hunt and they were still waiting for her, and said a little embarrassed: "Master, you and the guests will eat first, and the rice will be cold." Although Zhang Changgong did not officially accept him as a disciple, Tiewa always insisted on calling him that.
Luo Lie said with a smile: "How can there be a reason for the host not to come and eat first, Tiewa, the meal is still hot, hurry up and come over to eat." β
Tiewa came over and sat next to Zhang Changgong. Arnold handed him a bowl of wine that had been poured, and Zhang Longbow blocked it for him: "Child, don't let him drink." β
The blind man laughed and said, "Golden Retriever, are you all full of mush in your head?"
Tiewa smiled honestly: "I drank it secretly, but I only drank a bowl of wine and got drunk, which scared my grandmother so much that she thought I was dead, and hugged me and cried all night." β
Everyone laughed.
Tiewa said: "After that, I will never drink again." β
Sparrow said: "Tiewa is really filial!"
Tiewa was a little embarrassed by her praise, and looked at her toes crampedly.
Luo Lie said: "Have the bandits from Black Tiger Ridge come here recently?"
Tiewa shook her head and said, "They have robbed everything of value, and there are only seventeen people in the tunzi, and they are not interested." Speaking of this, he paused for a moment, and suddenly remembered something: "By the way, three days ago, a group of people passed by here, all dressed very decently, and inquired about Heihuling. β
The speaker has no intention, but the listener has the intention. Luo Lie asked, "Who are they?
Tiewa said: "There are twelve of them, all of them are armed, and three of them are supposed to be soldiers, but they are just asking for directions, and they do not stop. β
Zhang Changgong frowned and said, "Could it be that the military entered the mountains to suppress bandits?"
Luo Lie said: "Impossible, if it is to suppress bandits, how can there be so few people?" The bandits on the Black Tiger Ridge are claimed to be two thousand, even if there are exaggerated and fictitious elements among them, there must be at least more than a thousand people, and twelve people to exterminate such a huge team of bandits is tantamount to coming to the door to die. This team may be there to scout the enemy, or it may be a passerby, or it may be just one of the many bandit teams in Pale Mountain. For some reason, Ye Qinghong's shadow suddenly appeared in Luo Lie's heart, thinking of the time when Fengtian was separated, Ye Qinghong was full of unwilling expression, and he was even worried that Ye Qinghong had organized another team to come to Black Tiger Ridge without his knowledge. People's trust is mutual, and after his confidence in Ye Qinghong was shaken, Ye Qinghong may have also doubted him. With Ye Qinghong's wealth, it is not difficult to reorganize a team in the short term, not to mention that she already has a master like Lu Weilin under her subordinates. But if you think about it carefully, the possibility is not too great, with Ye Qinghong's mind, she should not be so impulsive, although she is unwilling in her heart, she still has a lot of confidence in herself, otherwise she would not invest so much blood in herself.
