Chapter Twenty-Three: The Valley of the Lonely Man
1
As the two of them spoke, they did not pay attention to the two wild men who suddenly appeared in the woods near them, and the two wild men did not echo the other companions as they walked. I can't dodge it.
"Calm down, pretend it's okay. Lin Xiaoanqiao said.
The two of them walked forward as if nothing had happened. The two savages obviously saw Du Huan and Lin Xiaoan. At this time, "ho-ho" made a strange sound, and Du Huan also learned from them to respond "ho-ho". Then one of the savages "squeaked" again, and Du Huan also "squeaked" a series of strange sounds, which really looked very similar.
The two savages didn't seem to be suspicious, Lin Xiaoanqing said in her heart, is this just a fool, she put the left wrist wrapped around the soft sword at her side, so that the savages could not see it. However, the two savages finally became suspicious, and as they got closer and closer, one suddenly let out a rapid roar, and Lin Xiaoanvil suddenly flew up, his wrist flicked, and the white light of the soft sword flashed.
"Don't Kill"
The two wild men had fallen to the ground. There was a blood mark on his neck, and blood seeped out of the same sword move of Lin Xiaoan.
Du Huan said: "Alas, there are two more lives. ”
Lin Xiaoanli said: "But they can't complain about me, and when they let out that scream and call their accomplices to besiege us, then we will die." Don't be there with false mercy. ”
Du Huan naturally knew this, but he felt unbearable. I didn't dare to look at the two corpses.
Lin Xiaoanzu dragged the two corpses into the bushes and hid them, took off the bone arrows on their backs, the bone spears, and the soft hemp rope made of some unknown vine, and the bone necklaces around their necks, and then turned his back to tear off the girdles around their waists. Together with Du Huan, the bone spear was wrapped with their hemp rope and carried it, Du Huan only carried three, and Lin Xiaoanzhen carried five handles, replaced the cover made by Lin Xiaoanli just now, put on bone ornaments, and picked up a bow and arrow in his hand.
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Now that you come from the other side, I will surely treat you as a lonely man, and I will shoot you with an arrow. Du Huan said.
Lin Xiaoanqing said: "As soon as I hear your wah-wow, I know it's you." You just shouted well, but please don't call it again in the future, they can hear it carefully, I'll call you. Lin Xiaoan, the savage, screamed.
Du Huan clapped his hands and said, "It's exactly the same." ”
Suddenly there was a response in the distance.
"Run. Lin Xiaoan, picked up Du Huan and ran.
Run a long way in one go. Lin Xiaoanli was so tired that he couldn't do it. Obviously, Lin Xiaoan's physical strength today is not as good as yesterday.
The two of them rested again by the small stream of water hidden by a line of dead leaves. Lin Xiaoanan hunched his waist and showed Du Huan one by one. "See, the lonely people walk like this, they hunt in the woods all year round, that's why it's like this. Just now they saw the flaw that you walked with your waist straight and your head held high."
"You told me to be calm, so I just held my head high and told the truth, you learn from them to talk like this"
"Then it is necessary to say," although I couldn't see Lin Xiaoan's expression clearly, but I could imagine her pride, "I have learned ventriloquism, and if I want to be the killer of Zhuxi Temple, I have to learn everything, but it's too bitter" Lin Xiaoan's voice lowered when he said the last sentence.
"I heard that when you were mixed in Meizhou to make the top brand, you spoke in the provincial dialect. Fooled everyone at the time. ”
"I understand a few words, but in fact, the real southerners will show their flaws as soon as they hear it. When I was a child, there was a southern opera troupe in Zhuxi Temple, and Qu Huanshan asked me to learn from them. Without further ado, by the way, throw your shoes away. ”
Du Huan took off his shoes and walked a few steps, he was originally from a small pampered, the stones and branches on the ground hurt his feet, and he naturally jumped and jumped when he walked, Lin Xiaoanan smiled: "That's right." ”
The two of them also had a lot of black mud on their hair in the mud just now, but there was no mud on the hair of those savages, so the two washed their hair slightly, and Lin Xiaoanu cut off half of his hair with a sword, Lin Xiaoanl said, even those female savages do not have such long hair, otherwise they are easy to be entangled in branches and thorns.
The two of them wore their hair loose, hunched over their waists and walked again. Du Huan jumped as he walked, his feet were stabbed, and he didn't dare to scream in pain, just like that wild man, he screamed wow.
How many times I have said that I have reached the end of the forest, but I have never arrived. When it really arrived, it suddenly arrived, just like in the morning in front of the single-plank bridge, the forest suddenly lay in front of them, and now, when they walked out of the forest, the scene in front of them really frightened the two of them.
2 Suddenly there was a big flat valley under the forest, and the sun was setting, and the sunset reflected everything as a dream.
A stream of water runs through the valley, like a string of quiet dreams lost in a dream. Passing through the grass huts of the lonely people, through the fingers of their women and children carrying water, it flowed south.
In the distance to the north, a large mountain stood on the wall, and a thousand-zhang waterfall hung down in the clouds, and only the faint sound of water could be heard, making this dream valley more like a stillness under the evening sky. The last touch of the slanting sun shone from a steep cliff opposite, shining on Du Huan and Lin Xiaoan.
The valley was littered with wild horses and bison, and herds of unnamed beasts, and there was already a fire lit, and the smoke rose up, and there was no wind, and there was no wind in dreams. Green smoke rose straight up.
"Where is this Savage Valley, this is Dream Valley. Lin Xiaoanzu muttered, "I seem to have been here before." ”
"Of course you've been here, you see you're a little savage now. ”
There were literally a few little savages smiling at them on the hillside, showing their white teeth.
Lin Xiaoanzu also smiled at them. Du Huan smiled uncomfortably.
A few little savages ran to them to see the white light that the little anvil was wrapped around their wrists.
"Let's go. Lin Xiaoanzu said, "Go to the opposite cliff." ”
Du Huan sent the bow in his hand to the children, and the children were amused.
"Don't blame it. Hunched over a bit. ”
At this time, the two of them took a closer look at the valley, and there were about a dozen concentrated groups of grass huts, each of which had about four or five hundred grass huts of various sizes, all of which were surrounded by a larger and higher house in a circle, which seemed to be supported by high wooden pillars, or where their people gathered, or perhaps where their head lived.
Thirteen places, Lin Xiaoanli counted them and kept them in mind. In the center of the thirteen huts, roughly the center of the valley, a larger hut - at this time Lin Xiaoan, saw clearly, and indeed it was a pillar surrounded by a number of people, propped up seven or eight feet above the ground - stood there.
"How many wildlings do you estimate?"
"At least, there are 10,000 or 20,000. ”
"Almost, do you say you can finish the kill?"
Du Huan exclaimed, "Are you crazy?"
"Okay, you also know that you can't finish killing, then you don't provoke them, you just follow me honestly, whoever talks to you, you only pretend to be deaf, I think there are also deaf people among this wild man"
"Just not as handsome as I am. Du Huan said.
"Do you think you're handsome?"
"Among these savages, he is considered handsome. ”
Lin Xiaoanli wanted to kill Du Huan with a sword.
"Look at this situation, these savages are divided into thirteen tribes, and they can't know all of them, so it's easy to do, let's just go around them. We'll hide on the opposite cliff tonight, and I see that cliff, there must be a cave or something, as long as you are settled, and I come down alone, it will be easy to do. Lin Xiaoanzu whispered.
"I really shouldn't have come with you. Du Huan whispered.
Lin Xiaoanvil quietly removed the soft sword from his wrist and wrapped it around his thigh, just hanging down the bark that was just around it, covering the soft sword.
Du Huanqi said: "How can you be entangled steadily?"
"There is a bronze job on the arrow that holds the tip of the sword. ”
Du Huan wanted to see it.
"Look for death. Lin Xiaoanli said angrily.
"Then every time you draw your sword, aren't you afraid of hurting yourself?"
"Why do you talk so much?"
"Alas, playing with fire**, playing with swords to kill yourself. You have to be careful. ”
"If the wildlings want to eat you, I hope they will call me. Lin Xiaoanqiao said.
