Chapter 257: The Town Is Attacked
"Brother Shang, wait a minute, I have something to ask you. "I saw that Shang Zhao was leaving, so I stopped him.
Mu Gongzi asked casually. Shang Zhao didn't refuse, and found a place to sit down.
"Listening to Brother Shang's accent, he is not a local. ”
Actually, I'm half a local. Dialects were formed hundreds of thousands of years ago, and they haven't changed much in centuries. I know the dialect of the Jiaodong Peninsula, and naturally I know that he is not speaking the dialect here.
"Oh, our family moved here seventeen years ago, and our ancestors are from Hanyang. ”
The people of Hanyang should be from Wuhan, Hubei.
"Who's coming over here?"
"My father went to Qingzhou Mansion because of his official position, and later transferred to Qixia County. Shang Zhao explained, "He has been resigned for more than ten years, and now he is in charge of watching the mountain on Asan Mountain." ”
"What about you?"
"Oh, I've tried and failed, I'm tired of the imperial examination, but now I'm a private school teacher, specializing in the things that harm the next generation. Shame shame. ”
That's right, I can't get famous, but I have to teach those children to learn Bagu articles, so that they can take the test in the future.
"Now that there is a shortage of soldiers, where can I go to the imperial examination, I don't know when the war between King Yan and his nephew will be over. ”
"It's coming. I replied casually, and regretted it, but it was too late.
"Why did Childe say that?"
"This ...... In the next casual remark, I don't know when they will be able to get a result. I quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I haven't thanked Brother Shang yet, you carried me off Asan last night, otherwise I will be bitten to death by wolves if I don't freeze to death." ”
"This is also my father's helplessness, so he used ecstasy incense to charm you. ”
I nodded, just like when I was at the inn next door, and they stunned me. I will be sent down the mountain again, and I will be entertained with delicious food and drink, I'm afraid it is just to prevent me from going up to Mount A and not going to this troubled water.
"What about my three friends? Are they also fascinated by some ecstasy incense?"
"Did you say those two great monks and young Taoist elders?" Shang Zhao still knew about the three of them, "The three of them are not allowed to be taken down the mountain, and besides, I can't take all four of you down alone." The father said that the three of them were neither big nor small, and that they were reckless and uneducated, so he let them spend the night on the mountain to frustrate their spirit. Give them some punishment. ”
"Yes, the three of them have gone too far lately, and I want to find a way to punish them. As long as it doesn't hurt their lives. ”
"How could it be. ”
As I spoke, I had already eaten the food and porridge that were still in the bowl, and I remembered that one of the most critical questions was the most important question.
"Brother Shang, may I also ask, how do you know my name, do you know me? I take the liberty of saying that I have no impression of you at all. ”
"How could Master Mu recognize us. It's just that Ling Zun is kind to my business. Naturally, you are also our benefactor. ”
"You say my father is kind to you?"
Actually, I didn't realize it when he first called me Mu Gongzi, but I didn't realize it until we talked, and I didn't tell him what my name was. How did he know my surname was Mu?
It shouldn't have been told to him by his father, Shang Jiuling, because I didn't tell him what my name was when I was in a coma. It was meant to be said. But before he could say it, he had already fainted. It seems that Shang Jiuling said that he knew me, how did he know me? Could it be that when he was in the inn, he also participated in the "Trapped Dragon Array"?
"Oh...... I'll tell you about this when I have a chance. ”
"Well, then why did you knock me out. Back to Peach Blossom Town?"
"Naturally, I hope that Childe will not go to Asan Mountain. ”
"Why?"
"Naturally, it's for Childe's safety. ”
If I ask anything else, he will also answer this set, I'm afraid he won't be able to ask anything in his mouth, so let's ask Ning'er when the time comes. I can't figure out more useful information from her. I was going to go up the mountain and bring the three of them back. As a result, Shang Zhao said that he would wait for his father to come back for dinner in the evening, and the three of them would follow him at that time.
It's okay for them to stop and stop, and I'll be able to relax.
After breakfast, it was almost time for lunch. In modern times, I usually eat at half past eleven, and when I get here, I tend to have lunch earlier. They are used to going to bed early and getting up early, usually at five or six o'clock, that is, at midnight, they get up for breakfast, and at ten o'clock in the morning, they will have lunch. After noon, I worked early, and at four or five o'clock in the afternoon, I had to have dinner again. At least that's how it's winter.
But it seems that they deliberately postponed lunch because of me. So I went around town. I've been to this place in modern times, and the town is also called Peach Blossom Town, but it's much bigger than what I need to be, and there's a train station. Halfway up to Asan Mountain, it is inhabited. I first went to see the inn that had been burned to ashes yesterday. There was still smoke in the area, and the residents were not outside, pointing at the ashes. A few others were scratching through the ashes with sticks, hoping to find something of value. I'm afraid that things like gold, silver, and wealth are not afraid of fire, and even if they are burned, they can still be used when solidified.
After chatting with those "fellows", I found out that there were indeed only two people burned to death inside, namely the innkeeper and Xiao Er. After the inn was bought by a person half a month ago, he no longer does business in and out of town. There were only three or five people inside, and I didn't know what I was doing all day. The window paper is all freshly pasted, and the doors and windows are not opened in broad daylight, so you can't see what is going on inside.
Looks like they figured out that I was coming, and they deliberately waited there for the rabbit. And I was very cooperative with letting people "catch turtles in the urn". In the end, I was able to escape, which I am afraid they had already thought of. Otherwise, how could there be a merchant who is here to "serve" me.
It was boring to look at the side of the inn, and just as I was about to turn around and leave, I felt that someone was spying on me. I also felt it through my "sixth sense", and since I began to master the use of true qi, it seems that my senses have become much more sensitive, and sometimes I feel the gaze that is secretly cast at me.
When I looked back, I saw only a figure flashing by. I didn't see it, and walked on the town, down the street, into the narrow alleys of the rows of houses, and I wanted to see who was following me.
Walking into a cul-de-sac, I jumped onto the roof of the house while I didn't see it behind me. I saw Shang Ning'er cautiously lying on her stomach at the corner of the alley, sticking out her head and looking in. Sure enough, it's this girl's film. She saw that there was no one inside, and she looked at the wall, where did I let her see.
Shang Ning'er walked into a dead end in confusion, hoping to find a door to open the door of a room. I deliberately played a joke on her, so I went around to the entrance to the cul-de-sac and crept up behind her. When she felt someone behind her, she turned around and met my smiling expression.
"Oops!"
Unexpectedly, Shang Ning'er reacted so violently, took two steps back, stumbled under his feet, and actually fell to the ground.
"Why are you following me?" I originally wanted to bring her up, but thinking about whether men and women are intimate or not, forget it, in that conservative era, it was impossible for her to get up and die with me.
"Who wants to stalk you!"
"And what are you doing here?"
"I do!"
Saying that she was about to go out, I was going not to give way to her, but she pushed me to the ground. It was at this moment that I felt a strong gust of wind rushing towards me.
I was pushed by Shang Ning'er, but I escaped. I was joking with Shang Ning'er just now, and I didn't pay attention to the potential dangers around me at all. However, I was saved by Shang Ning'er, but she became a target by mistake. I had no choice but to make a move on the iron plate bridge, slid behind Shang Ning'er, and pulled her into my arms at the last moment, dodging an arrow that pierced my heart.
A featherless arrow shot to her cheek and hit the ground.
Shang Ning'er also felt the danger, her little face turned pale with fright, and she forgot to shrink into my arms. But there was more than one of the featherless arrows, and then three or five more came at me at once. This is going to shoot birds indiscriminately, I can only hold Shang Ning'er and roll on the spot and roll to the corner, although I have temporarily escaped, but the danger is far from disappearing.
Featherless arrows are not fired from ordinary bows and arrows, but are fired by crossbows. The arrows are already set in the crossbow groove, and having the arrow feathers gets in the way. The crossbow that can fire continuously is called a repeater, and according to legend, it was invented by Zhuge Liang, so it is called Zhuge repeater. In fact, Zhuge Liang is not so godly, but he was deified by Luo Guanzhong. It may be impossible to know who invented the repeater, so it should be invented by Zhuge Liang.
I'm dealing with a bastard on the roof with a repeater against me. I had just arrived at the roof, and my whole mind was on Shang Ning'er, and I didn't notice that there were other people following me. The figure outside the inn just now should be him. (To be continued......)
