Chapter 16: The Story of Pure Money

Li Yiheng looked at these red shrines, which were the original color of the carving raw materials, and the plants he saw after entering this thorn ball quickly flashed in his mind, except for the branches and leaves of the banyan trees all over the place, and some of the remaining crops that were eaten by the Luo herd, it seemed that he did not see any wood that could be used to carve these shrines, which aroused Li Yiheng's curiosity, so he urged the mount to catch up with Qing Wanjin flying in front, and asked: "Mr. Qing, where do the raw materials for these shrines come from?"

Qing Wanjin no longer had the serious expression he had when he was in the palace before, and his bronzed face was a kind smile, which made his already small eyes even smaller, only a slit, as if the gaze shot out of this slit could penetrate Li Yiheng in front of him and see through everything Li Yiheng was thinking in his heart.

Seeing Qing Wanjin's expression, Li Yiheng felt tight, and suddenly felt very uncomfortable, as if what shot out of Qing Wanjin's eyes was not a gaze, but thousands of filaments, binding Li Yiheng's hands and feet, restricting Li Yiheng's actions, even if Li Yiheng deliberately bypassed Qing Wanjin's gaze, this uncomfortable feeling still existed.

Qing Wanjin stopped smiling, and his eyes appeared slightly larger, and the feeling that made Li Yiheng uncomfortable disappeared in an instant with the widening of Qing Wanjin's eyes, Li Yiheng straightened his chest, and pretended to look at Qing Wanjin calmly.

Qing Wanjin stroked his goatee and said unhurriedly: "Although the thorn ball is based on banyan trees, there are some sandalwood trees that do not need a lot of sunlight to grow and reproduce in remote places away from the Qing people's gathering area, but these sandalwood trees that are only half a meter tall are rarely known to the Qing people because they are in a more dangerous place." ”

"Then where do these sandalwood trees grow?" Li Yiheng immediately had a strong desire to explore when he heard the word "dangerous", which may be related to his previous adventures: the more dangerous and mysterious the place, the more it can ignite Li Yiheng's passion.

At this time, Qingping, who had been silent, was also attracted by this topic, and came to Qing Wanjin's side, wanting to hear Qing Wanjin's answer, after all, he was the reconnaissance captain of the Qing people, if there were still places and plants that he didn't know about in the gathering place of the Qing people, in his opinion, it would be a dereliction of duty, and he couldn't even reach a comprehensive understanding of the territory of his own country, not to mention leading the tribe to eliminate the Heluo herd, who knows if these Heluo herds will find new breakthroughs, and these breakthroughs are places that they have not explored.

Seeing that Li Yiheng and Qingping were very serious, Qing Wanjin once again showed his previous smile, which made Qingping also feel as uncomfortable as Li Yiheng.

"The place where the sandalwood grows is in the eastern zone where the thorn strips are most active, the thorn strips we usually see are basically stationary, but the thorn strips in the eastern zone are like a group of snakes, once a creature approaches, remember, it is any creature, including the race that lives here, will trigger a group attack of the thorn strips here, so the Holuo herd never dares to invade the eastern zone. Qing Wanjin's tone became sharp, causing Qing Ping and Li Yiheng to sigh.

Qingping only knew this time that the thorn strip could be defended and attacked in groups, and the last time Li Yiheng and himself cut off the thorn strip and took the inner core to make a wooden crossbow string rope, it was really a fluke, and he chose a relatively safe place, if he ran to the east that Qing Wanjin said, a thorn strip could hit himself and Li Yiheng in embarrassment, and the thorn strip group attack was probably pierced hundreds of times.

Li Yiheng continued to ask Qing Wanjin: "Since the eastern zone is so dangerous, how can you take these sandalwood trees?"

"Good question!"

Qing Wanjin suddenly looked at Li Yiheng seriously, this serious expression was exactly the same as when he was in the palace, indicating that Qing Wanjin attached great importance to this issue.

Li Yiheng also vaguely felt from Qing Wanjin's serious expression that the old man of the Qing clan in front of him had an unusual experience, otherwise he would not be the only Qing clan member who could travel freely between the three countries.

Qingping, who was still feeling that he was lucky, was also pulled back to reality by Qing Wanjin's serious answer, and continued to wait for Qing Wanjin's answer.

Qing Wanjin looked at the top of his head meaningfully, there was still a long way to go from the defensive barrier set up by the Huo nationality country, and he could only vaguely see the slender black shadow of the rattan erected between the complex branches, reflecting the white light emitted by the "mulberry ginseng", which was very swaying.

Qing Wanjin simply got off the sheep mount, sat down on the spot to rest, Li Yiheng and Qingping also came down one after another, tied the head sheep, and sat cross-legged on the left side of Qing Wanjin, like two children listening to the old man's story, staring at the four eyes, waiting quietly, these sheep saw that the head sheep was no longer advancing, and the pair of gray wings also stopped on the nearby tree trunk to rest.

"At that time, the Qing, Huo and Ying had already made a territorial non-aggression treaty, and the Qing people were broken and chose the lowest territory due to their weak strength", Qing Wanjin took out a leaf from his burden, rolled it up, lit it with a fire fold, smoked it like a cigarette, and continued: " I was young at that time, upright and strong-blooded, and I was very angry when I saw our country suffer this humiliation, but it was difficult for my personal strength to confront the strength of the country, and I was also brave enough to sneak into the Huo tribe quietly, fantasizing that I could recapture the territory of the Qing people by myself......"

"Then have you successfully infiltrated the Huo Clan?" asked Li Yiheng.

Qing Wanjin spit out a puff of smoke ring and said: " At that time, the Huo people had not opened the protective net, only the Huo soldiers all over the branches were guarding, to prevent the Qing people from crossing the line, I also reconnoitred many times to find out the law of the Huo soldiers' shifts, taking advantage of the opportunity of the Huo soldiers on guard to change shifts, infiltrated the Huo people, but because of their carelessness, ignoring the defense of the Huo family army in the air, was found and chased by the Huo family army, I tried my best to flee to the east, the wings were also injured by the Huo family army in the escape, and fell down, fortunately fell on a cluster of plants, was not killed, Huo family army saw me fall to the national border of the Qing people, no longer chase。 ”

Qingping looked at Qing Wanjin who was spitting smoke, his eyes were full of admiration, and he almost screamed like a girl and jumped up to hug Qing Wanjin.

Li Yiheng looked at Qingping who had bright eyes, and couldn't help laughing, Qingping didn't notice it, he still looked at Qingwanjin, and said eagerly: "What about later, what about later?"

"I didn't know where it fell, and it was very dark around me, so I simply picked a thin branch and lit it with the fire breaker that I carried with me, and then the lit branch gave out a strange fragrance, and this fragrance made me much more sober, and my strength seemed to be restored, so I carefully collected the ashes after burning and wanted to take them back to study. ”

Li Yiheng listened to Qing Wanjin's speech a little off-topic, so he said, "Mr. Qing, didn't you say that place is very dangerous?"

At this time, the cigarette roll had burned to Qing Wanjin's fingers, but Qing Wanjin did not feel the heat, continued to take a deep breath, two smoke sprayed out of his nostrils, rose into the air and turned into a ball, and then slowly dissipated, this smoking, the cigarette has burned to Qing Wanjin's fingers, Qing Wanjin slowly snuffed out the remaining cigarette roll, but did not throw it away, but directly put it into his mouth and chewed it.

Qing Wanjin chewed tobacco leaves and said to Li Yiheng: " Yes, when I was leaving, I threw away a small piece of paper that had not yet burned out, and I didn't want to fall on the nearby thorn strip, the thorn strip rose up in the air and stabbed at me, I was not an opponent, I could only run away again, so I took the branch as a cover, and fled westward, the thorn strip fired thorns from time to time, I don't know how many were shot in my back and legs, but I knew I couldn't stop, so I ran blindly, I don't know how long later, I saw several Qing people working in the farm field on a branch, I finally only remembered shouting, and I fainted, and when I woke up, I found myself in a wooden house, and those Qing people took care of me by the bedsideand said, 'You have thirty-eight thorns in your body, and you can get them back, it's a great fate.' ”

Qingping was about to fall to his knees at this time, and he didn't expect that the old man dressed as a businessman in front of him was also a warrior of the Qing clan when he was young.

Li Yiheng also admired Qing Wanjin at this time, but his mind was still sober, unlike Qingping, who had been moved, and the corners of his mouth were still filled with a foolish smile.

"Then how did you find out that sandalwood can be used to make shrines?" asked Li Yiheng, rubbing his left leg, his legs were a little numb due to the long coiling, and Li Yiheng stretched out his legs to relieve and soothe his nerves.

Qing Wanjin did not show the slightest tiredness of Li Yiheng's questions, and seemed to be happy to talk to Li Yiheng and Qingping about the deeds of the year, perhaps in his eyes, these deeds can strengthen Li Yiheng and Qingping's confidence in this trip.

"After the body recovered, I studied the ashes of these sandalwood branches brought back, so that many tired Qing people smelled the fragrance, they all said that it had the effect of refreshing the mind and restoring physical strength, but the fragrance of these ashes did not last long, in order to get more sandalwood, I asked the patriarch to lead a team of Qing soldiers to find these sandalwood, and finally found the place where I fell with a vague memory. ”

"Later, were you attacked by the Thorn Strip?" Although Qing Ping listened attentively, he also regained some of his senses, following the storyline of Qing Wanjinjiang, guessing the direction of the story.

Li Yiheng also echoed: "That is, did those thorns take the initiative to attack you?"

Qing Wanjin spit out the tobacco leaves that had been chewed into slag in his mouth, and then took out a palm-sized tobacco leaf from the small package he carried with him, rolled it up, and lit it:" At that time, we were happy to find sandalwood, and we didn't realize that the thorn strips were quietly gathering on our side, and we didn't deliberately attack these thorn strips, but they suddenly attacked us like this, for no reason, when we hurriedly picked a bundle of sandalwood twigs, and broke nearly half of the Qing soldiers, and I guessed afterwards that it was probably the peculiar fragrance emitted by these sandalwood trees, which had been moistened by the peculiar fragrance for many years, that could become so active. Qing Wanjin said, the corners of his eyes were a little moist, he should be feeling guilty for those sacrificed Qing soldiers.

Qingping was already in deep love, and he was already in tears, wiping his tears and saying: "I didn't expect our Qing clan to be so brave back then." ”

Li Yi moved sideways to Qingping's side, stroked Qingping's back, and soothed: "Aren't the current Qing soldiers also very brave in fighting with the Heluo herd, you and I have seen it with our own eyes." ”

Qing Wanjin stood up, tidied up his clothes, brought the package containing tobacco leaves back to his body, and said firmly to Li Yiheng and Qingping: "I have been delayed for a while, now I am on my way." ”

Qingping wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and got up with a sniff, as if these were not shrines, but the responsibility of the Qing people to regain their courage and regain their territory.

Li Yiheng was still unsatisfied, and continued to ask Qing Wanjin: "By the way, the reason why these shrines can win the favor of the Huo and Ying tribes is because of these fragrances?

Qing Wanjin smiled at Li Yiheng knowingly, and Li Yiheng knew that he guessed correctly this time.
