Chapter 116: Wanderer
Let's say that the tiger Ben Tho barbarian screamed again, "Arrest it!" More than a dozen tiger Ben "tuk tuk" rushed over.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Du Qunfang habitually drew his sword, but his waist was empty, and shouted: "Mu Mangzi!
Mu Mangzi did not draw his sword, but covered it.
Du Qunfang's lungs were about to explode, and he shouted: "Lend me it!"
"Don't borrow!"
Mu Mangzi's words were not finished, and the tiger had already formed an irregular encirclement.
Du, Mu, and Lan hurriedly backed back.
Lan replied: "There are many others, and they are strong in martial arts, if they run, they will be caught, and if they don't run, they will be caught." If you want to make a ruthless move, you will be killed with one move! If you don't do it, don't make the first move, and act when the opportunity arises!"
Du Qunfang said: "It's too late if you don't do it!"
Suddenly, one of the tiger ben shouted, "Brothers, slow down!"
Mu Mang happened to face this person, heard the cry, and took a closer look, this tiger Ben, with a dignified appearance, was taller than Du Qunfang, and more majestic than Mu Qingshan and Lan Hui, and was staring at himself, and was taken aback.
Holding a short sword, the barbarian was standing in the circle of the tiger who was slowly adjusting his position, and was about to command the arrest, when he glanced back and said angrily: "Tongue clamp!
The tiger was not angry, but smiled and said: "Tho barbarian, they can't escape, let me see how it is?"
"You don't want to be the same as last time, pretending to be a good person!"
The tiger didn't answer the barbarian, walked up to Mu Mangzi, and said to Mu Mangzi inexplicably: "Where did we meet?"
Mu Mangzi thought to himself, he didn't know where to start with this, he didn't answer, just stared at him.
Seeing that Mu Mangzi didn't understand, the tiger Ben circled around the three of them, measuring Qunfang and Lan Hui, and the two didn't know his intentions, so they only looked at him, didn't speak, and secretly thought about how to do it if they did it.
The tiger ben turned to Mu Mangzi again and took a deep look. Mu Mang felt that his eyes were very special, but he couldn't tell which one was special.
The tiger turned to the barbarian and said, "Where are you going to catch it?"
"Don't even think about it! put them in prison first, let them eat some old fern roots!"
The tiger said: "Brothers, these three people, I think they are good materials for being prodigal pawns, and they will be sent to the prodigal camp, what do you think?"
Most of the tigers said: "It makes sense!"
Du Qunfang thought to herself, I don't know who this tiger Ben is? It seems that he is more effective in speaking.
It turned out that this tiger was the python king salt dragon in Panluo Lake. Although he has Lin Yunguan and Du Qinglian as a guarantor, he successfully entered the Hu'an Palace, and Gu Menglong also likes him very much, but the guards of the Hu'an Palace have strict rules, except for the guards of the Gu clan's old village, any other person who is elected to the Hu'an Palace must start from the bottom, such as guarding the gate, patrolling, night patrol, etc., in order to have the opportunity to walk to the side of the owner of the Hu'an Palace step by step as a guard. Because of this, the salt dragon was assigned to the tiger benli of the Tho barbarians, who guarded the main gate.
The barbarian said angrily, "Which one should you listen to?"
A few muttered a wordless sentence, and most did not answer him.
This kind of silence is the clearest objection, and the barbarian is not too stupid, and this is not the first time that such a thing has happened, his neck is as big as his head, and he is angry and dejected: "Just send it to the camp of the prodigal pawns as you say!
Du Qunfang said: "Dog fights people!"
Lan looked back at this scene, and said in his heart: "Obviously, this man called Tho Barbarian is unpopular", and said to Du and Mu: "It doesn't make sense to talk to this group, if you resist, there is only one way to die in the chaos of the sword." Bear with it first. They may not dare to kill us if they don't say anything. ”
Before Du and Mu could answer, the barbarian shouted, "Up!"
The tigers rushed up, easily threw the three people who had already planned to give up resistance to the ground, cut their hands back, found ropes, and tied them firmly.
Within a few miles, outside the city of Hu'an, it was the station of the Hu'an Mountain Division, and the barbarian personally led five tigers, two in charge of one, and escorted Du, Mu, and Lan into the camp of the prodigal soldiers.
It didn't take much effort for the barbarian to hand over the man.
It turned out that due to years of war, there was a shortage of samurai, and at the suggestion of the five hundred Chang Xiangmei of the mountain division, Hu'an Palace agreed to recruit men of appropriate age who had fled to the countryside to live in the territory for training and combat, and the local people were commonly known as "wild pawns" or "prodigal pawns", similar to recruitment, but of course the system was extremely imperfect and was under the control of Xiangmei.
Most of the prodigals are people who have committed crimes in other places, killed people, crossed goods, owed debts, etc., and have nowhere to go, in other words, most of them are outlaws.
Although the number of Hu'an Mountain Divisions is small, they have undergone cruel training, coupled with extremely strict control and preventive measures, and the treatment is not bad, which can be regarded as a rare enjoyment in the troubled times, so it is a dare to die team that kills people without blinking. To put it bluntly, it is a grinding machine without normal human thinking.
At this time, Xiangmei, who was also in charge of the prodigal pawns, went to the battlefield and took away some of the prodigal pawns, and the untrained and mature prodigal pawns were temporarily handed over to the remaining generals to manage.
Du, Mu, and Lan entered the camp of the prodigal pawn, only to realize that the prodigal pawn's food was not so delicious, and there were regulations that local samurai were not allowed to pretend to be prodigal pawns.
The three wanted to defend themselves, but they were beaten and had no choice but to take shelter temporarily.
The three entered the camp and were immediately sent for forced training. Being locked up in a training camp, the high-intensity training can still be endured, and the most painful thing is not being free.
Mu Mangzi and Lan Hui complained that Du Qunfang was going to die, and hated that the salt dragon let them enter this place where this person is not a human, a ghost or a ghost, but there is nowhere to redress their grievances.
These three people have nothing to remember except for crawling and rolling around every day, being meat targets, and complaining about each other. Leave it at that.
The three Wu clans in the sinkhole.
Wu Zhen and the three of them lived a secluded life in that shed, unconsciously approaching the moon. be
On this day, it was a sunny day, Wucheng got up early and prepared to hunt, this was the only thing he was happy about, and it was also the first time he took on the responsibility of supporting the family, and the old couple supplemented it by looking for wild vegetables and wild fruits.
Wucheng came out of the shed and exclaimed: "Last night, overnight, I don't know what kind of wild things gnawed those seedlings clean. ”
The boy looked around, and saw a few strange wild goats on the hillside not far off, as if one of them had only three legs, one had five legs, and the others were also a little strange. I don't know if I'm dazzled.
Wucheng was furious and chased after him, and the sheep climbed over the hillside and disappeared without a trace.
Wu Cheng yelled, "Something is wrong!"
When the Wu couple came out of the shed, the lady cried first: ", I don't want the family to live!"
Wu Zhen sighed: "The people of this state cannot get along, and the beasts of this state cannot get along. It seems that it is not over yet, so we can only move on, Wucheng, go and pack the remaining vegetables and fruits, and take away the uneaten game. ”
The trio continue their dangerous journey. Turning around slowly, this time I was in the mood to see the beautiful scenery, and I didn't want to meet the demons and monsters as soon as possible.
After walking for most of the day, I saw a grass hut on the side of the road, and I was overjoyed, and I went forward, but I saw an old man curled up in front of the shed.
After going down the pit, this was the first time they saw people, and they were surprised, delighted and afraid.
The three of them were assessing, but before they could speak, the man said expressionlessly: "You three are also funny, you rang the bell, and you didn't come down for more than 20 days, so I came here every day to wait." ”
Hearing his strange words, Wu Zhen said, "Old man, you mean you're waiting for us?"
Not today. Go down and you'll be there. I still have to go to the nearby mountains to find an emergency herb, and I dare not delay. I heard someone coming, so I waited here for a while. ”
Wu Cheng said: "Are you a human or a ghost?"
The man said, "Man is a ghost, and a ghost is a man." When he was about to ask, the man did not answer, but said "goodbye" and left.
The three of them stared blankly at his back.
After a while, the man was seen burrowing into the jungle and disappearing without a trace.
Wu Cheng said: "Is it really a ghost?"
Mrs. said: "I can't control it at this time, let's go." ”
There was a stone road ahead.
Madame said: "It's another downhill slope, I don't count how many steps I have walked from the top of the pit to here, and I don't know how far it is below?"
Passing through a spotted bamboo forest, the bamboo roots are thick, the bamboo forest will be at the end, there are square stones, enough to be three people high, and there are four big characters engraved on it: "Empty Valley Bamboo Sound." ”
Wu Zhen looked at it and said, "It's not bad here." There is a poem "Bamboo Song" by Xiangfei Zhuyin as evidence:
The southern country is born of green bamboo, and it is famous from ancient times.
The sage admires and respects, and the hermit sings and endows.
Rigidity is modest, humility is modest;
Under the roots and stones, the body is solid and solid.
The mountain trail is covered with greenery, and the clear flow flows out of the valley;
Cultivate into the white clouds, diffused with rippling green mist;
The wind is whistling, and the rain is condensing the jade dew;
Stretching into the sea, the peaks and mountains add a beautiful picture.
Mountains or clusters, which means that they are not lonely;
Still showing style, handsome and handsome.
Our generation should learn from you, cultivate and go to the city;
Show people without arrogance, self-defense and arrogance.
At the end of the bamboo forest, there is a faulted rock formation. The three of them went to the edge of the rock and looked down, and found that there was actually a village under the broken rock, I don't know if it was lived by people or ghosts.
The more you are at the top of the food chain, the more your own kind become the most feared animals. Along the way, the three of them lived in the animal and plant kingdoms, and they had never seen a single person, or an animal like a human. Suddenly saw a person today, the three Wu family were not happy, but felt that danger, the greatest danger, may really come.
