Chapter 495: Eating Households
It's night, and the moon and stars are scarce.
Zhang Chu, Da Liu, and Hongyun went to the Snow Mountain together.
"There will be a martial arts conference tomorrow, and the guards of this big snow mountain are still so lax?"
Halfway up the mountain, Da Liu had an occupational disease attack and said in surprise.
The three of them walked all the way, and they didn't find a few checkpoints, a few teams of mobile posts, and the three of them easily avoided it, so smooth that they couldn't believe it.
Hongyun said in a low voice: "Brother Liu, apart from the conference venue on this mountain, how can there be anything worth guarding?
"Besides, there are a lot of people in the rivers and lakes who will go up the mountain in advance tonight, and people come from afar, and his Li family can't stop them from going up the mountain, so many idle people are running around the mountain, how can they be armed......"
"Silence. ”
Zhang Chu's low voice interrupted the conversation between the two.
The three of them jumped out of the mountain road and hid in a hidden place.
In a short time, a group of armor soldiers with torches walked neatly across the mountain road.
After the group of armor soldiers had gone away, the three of them returned to the mountain road and continued their journey.
It didn't take long for the three of them to hear a cacophony of giggling coming from the mountains, as if there were many people drinking and feasting.
A little further up, a little fire was evident in the darkness.
If Zhang Chu remembers correctly, the location of the firelight is the mountain gate of the Heavenly Sword Gate in the past.
The higher you go, the more noticeable the noise becomes.
Zhang Chu heard the dialect of Xiliangzhou from the noise, and heard the slang of Yanbei Prefecture.
The higher you go, the more visible the fire becomes.
Zhang Chu saw the figure of the person raising a glass and drinking in the firelight, and saw the figure of the person competing in martial arts.
It's a bonfire.
A carnival......
Zhang Chu stood in the night, quietly looking at the firelight in the distance, and a word inexplicably appeared in his mind: eat the household.
In the old days, when a man who was the head of the family died, and there was no son in the family, or the son was still very young, and the woman had no power or support, then the people of the same family would bully them, take away their food and money, and occupy their houses and land...... until they ate their family poor and had nothing, and finally drove her out to beg for food, or even forced to death!
How similar!
He Zhang Chu is the "young cub who can't support a family" in the eyes of these "evil relatives"!
Zhang Chu clenched his fists so much that they "creaked" and "creaked".
After a long while, he squeezed out two words from between his teeth: "Go up the mountain." ”
......
At the top of Daisetsuzan Mountain, there is no snow.
It's a huge depression that looks like a sinkhole.
Beneath the depression, there is an astonishing amount of heat.
Zhang Chu stood on the edge of the depression for a moment, and soon found that the Burning Flame True Qi in his body had become somewhat active......
No!
It's not that simple as being active!
To be precise, it should become ...... Impulse!!
It's like a fresh, bloody, steaming piece of lamb, the urge to put it on the tip of a hungry wolf's nose!
He slowly stretched out a hand, swallowed the Burning Flame True Qi downward in the palm of his palm, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly curled his five fingers and pulled back violently in his claws......
"Bang. ”
With an explosion, a stream of fiery red magma erupted from the bottom of the depression, gushing four or five feet high, and the pungent smell of sulfur spread in an instant.
Zhang Chu raised his eyebrows.
He had known for a long time that Daisetsuzan was a volcano, a volcano that didn't know if it was a dormant volcano or an active volcano!
Otherwise, it doesn't make sense that the mountainside is covered with snow all year round, but the top of the mountain is like spring all year round, and there are hot springs.
Later, he consulted the county records of Taoyu County and also found relevant records: "In the sixth year of Tianbao, in early July, at noon, the snow mountain suddenly became obscure, sometimes yellow and red, with the same smoke and flames, and the smell was full of ...... smell."
It was 150 years ago, when the Daisetsuzan volcano erupted.
It's just that this time was not very serious, but a large amount of smoke and dust did not erupt magma and cause casualties, so the county annals of Taoyu County only recorded it as a spectacle.
Even the scholars who wrote the county chronicles thought so, so one can imagine how those ordinary people who couldn't read a single big word thought about it.
Ignorance is terrible.
Because of ignorance.
Ten thousand people dare to open a mountain on the snowy mountain.
Li Wuji dared to hold a martial arts conference on the Great Snow Mountain.
Zhang Chu felt that if he could not seize this opportunity and teach these "evil relatives" to behave well, he would really waste nine years of compulsory education.
Of course, at first, he didn't expect a volcanic eruption to arrange those "evil relatives" clearly at once.
What abilities does he have, why does he need to be so troublesome?
At first, all he thought was to get some volcanic smoke and ash out.
He is not good at chemistry and knows that volcanic smoke is highly poisonous, and ordinary people can't do it after two puffs, and the physical fitness of martial artists is stronger than that of ordinary people, but at most they can resist seven or eight mouthfuls.
The mountain road is not easy to walk, once the volcano erupts, even if it is a seven-rank martial artist, it is impossible to run faster than the volcanic smoke......
But now it seems that the volcano is far more active than he imagined!
This big house may give everyone a "surprise"!
Just at the stall where Zhang Chu was doing the experiment, Hongyun had already released a signal to summon the secret agents of Fengyun Tower who were ambushed around.
Not long after, one hundred and ten Fengyunlou secret agents wearing various "auspicious suits" silently touched the surroundings and saluted Zhang Chu neatly.
"Subordinates meet the helper!"
In front of Da Liu, these Fengyunlou spies did not salute Zhang Chu with the etiquette of Fengyunlou, but with the etiquette of the Taiping Society...... There will be 10,000 gangs of people at the Taiping Meeting, who will recognize them all?
Zhang Chu turned around and said gently, "Get up." ”
"Thank you. ”
The crowd stood up.
Zhang Chu looked around, and saw these spies, some of them were dressed up as children of the rivers and lakes with swords and swords, some were dressed as armor soldiers, and some were shivering with cold in white snow suits.
It's not easy.
"How's the guys preparing?"
Zhang Chu slowed down his tone and asked.
One person stepped forward and waved his hand and said, "Helper, everything is arranged, just wait for your order." ”
Zhang Chu stepped forward to help him up, looked around and asked again, "Who will sweep the tail tomorrow?"
"Gang master, tomorrow's subordinates will sweep the tail. ”
The sound is close.
As soon as Zhang Chu turned around, he realized that it was the person he had just helped up who was speaking.
He was a stocky man in his early forties, with sound limbs and a breath that did not look like he had any serious illness.
Zhang Chu wanted to ask if there was a way out, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back.
"Brother, what's your name?
He asked.
"Helper, my name is Ma Dachun, a native of Wutongli, and my former home was on the street next door to your house. ”
The stocky man replied with a straight look, but by the moonlight, Zhang Chu clearly saw that the corners of his eyes were slightly upturned, as if a smile was brewing.
Zhang Chu's heart twitched.
The people of Wutongli.
Back then, the mules established the Blood Shadow Guard, and the group of brothers who were transferred from the Black Tiger Hall to the Blood Shadow Guard to set up a shelf.
Zhang Chu pursed his lips vigorously, but he didn't know how to say a lot of things in his heart.
After a long while, he patted Ma Dachun on the shoulder and asked softly, "Is there anyone else at home?"
"Yes, my daughter married last summer, the matchmaker that the eldest lady said, I ...... My son-in-law should be diligent, and my grandson will be able to croak this year. ”
"Hmm. ”
Zhang Chu patted his shoulder again, and said softly: "Go with peace of mind, eldest niece and grandson, I'll show you, with me for a day, no one can give them and their mothers a hard time." ”
"Success! Ming'er, look at me!"
The stocky man nodded with a smile, as if he was just going out to make soy sauce.
Zhang Chu could barely look him in the eye.
