Chapter XXVIII
Jiangshui, the dry land dragon two people all the way along the bank of the stream, along the stream on both sides of the birds and flowers, the stream gurgles and flows, the broad wood forest gusts of wind blowing, the wind carries the unique fragrance of maple leaves, so that the pedestrians in a hurry have a comfortable breath in their chests, a large group of dragonflies hovering around when high and low, the forest knows that from time to time there is a short cry, and the dark clouds in the distance roll in the sky, and a few lightning flashes suddenly.
"Brother Jiang Shui, do you think you can get to Rongjiang City by walking like this?"
"The two of us have known each other for a while, and I only know that everyone calls you Dry Land Dragon, but I don't know my brother's name."
"It's not your fault, everyone hasn't had time to take advantage of it, now only you and my brothers can say when they want, my name is Zhou Taiyong is twenty-three years old this year, my hometown is Shandong, I grew up in Guizhou, and I am half a Guizhou person, the amount of food on weekdays is amazing, but I don't have to worry about eating and drinking under Commander Liu, I have a brute force, once the brothers lined up to escort Commander Liu to patrol the street, a crazy buffalo rampaged on the street and no one dared to stop it, and in a blink of an eye, I was about to go to Commander Liu's horse, Suddenly, no one shot the mad cow. ”
"So, you can't contain that crazy buffalo?"
"It's not to restrain but to beat the buffalo to death with bare hands, I smashed the head of this beast with a few punches, and afterwards Commander Liu happily gave me such a nickname in front of the public, others are used to calling it on weekdays, and most of them don't know my real name, which is not surprising."
"I heard the old man say that in ancient times, there was a black whirlwind Li Kui in Shandong Province, and the people of the rivers and lakes gave him the nickname Iron Bull, if you talk about strength, maybe you are not worse than him."
"How can you compare with him, he is a good man who does the right thing for heaven."
"In the future, in addition to helping the weak with the strong, your brother can also be famous," Jiang Shui said.
"I've experienced too many things in the past few days, and now that I think about it, everything has changed too quickly, I just want to have your brother to help me find a full-time business student to have a peaceful birthday."
Jiang Shui's eyes stared straight into the distance without saying a word.
"I'm talking to you, what are you thinking?"
Jiang Shui looked at the dryland dragon Zhou Taiyong and smiled mysteriously.
"As soon as I say the day, you get distracted, hehe..... I missed a woman. ”
"You're guessing, I haven't gotten along yet, it's just... It's just that. ”
"Yes, yes, you should be interested in someone at your age, brother doesn't mean anything else."
"It's important to go!
"Let's go! Find a place to spend the night before it gets dark, Brother Zhou! ”
"But now we are empty-handed, not to mention that we have a gun, not even a good short knife, we have to get something to eat, otherwise I am afraid that I will not be able to leave Rongcheng."
"Don't worry, keep going, maybe you can meet someone."
"Brother Zhou, I really can't see it, I admit that your endurance to starve can't compare to you."
"You don't know, most of Liu Yishou's troops take in orphans or homeless people who have fled the famine, and who doesn't often compete with the belly! Hey, it's sad to think about it, now that Commander Liu is gone, I have to find a way to solve this starvation thing. ”
"The two of us are born together, my name has a water character in it, your name has a dragon character, the dragon meets the water, you don't understand this?"
"You're not very old, and you still know a lot, didn't you listen to Mr. Word Measurement in the village?"
"Needless to say, the old people love to say that."
"Whew! Do your best, you're here, you can only coax the little girl. The dryland dragon gently smacked him on the shoulder with his fist, and Jiang Shui grinned.
"Brother Zhou, the two of us have to get a good self-defense thing, hey! I see that the stones on the shore are so hard that they can be made into two stone axes. ”
For a while, the dryland dragon woke up and came over: "After a long time, the existing things are around, how can you be afraid of encountering a lone beast on the road, grandma is a bear!" Get it done. ”
The two picked up a larger blue stone and smashed it into the ground, and after several operations back and forth, they selected a sharp stone and grinded it on the stone bar by the stream.
After peeling the skin from the unknown rattan quickly, there are more than ten on the ground, and then soaking a pillar of incense in the water, he began to weave the rattan bark rope.
"Okay, egg boy, nothing is difficult for you to vomit, I have no strength, I can't get this clever job, I can only watch the excitement, who did I learn this from?"
"My father" He suppressed the smile on the corner of his mouth, paused, and looked cold and thoughtful.
"I'm embarrassed to mention your sad things, I also heard that this was all done by Commander Liu's cousin, and he was also punished by you, okay, I won't mention it."
"Brother Zhou, it's up to you to make the material for this axe handle."
"Brother, don't worry, leave it to me."
He saw a thick and hard miscellaneous tree at the edge of the forest, stepped forward and hugged his waist: "Come on! My goodness, you can break it off with me! ”
"Click"
The trunk of the tree was snapped hard.
"Whoa! This one should be the right one. ”
Two shaped stone axes are scraped on the surface of the stick, and each is made with a small amount of effort, and then a stone axe is used to make a cut at one end, and finally the stone axe is placed in it and bound with rattan rope---- and a real stone axe is made.
Jiang Shui and the Dry Land Dragon made the stone axe in their hands in a chopping posture back and forth a few times, and felt that the weight of the stone axe was more appropriate.
I don't know how long they walked, the two climbed up a hill, and saw Rongjiang County from a distance, according to the speed of this line, it is estimated that they will have to walk for a day. In the southeast of Guizhou, there are no three points of peace, such as two adjacent villages, obviously two friends can see each other across the mountain, both sides can hear what they are saying, if one party wants to invite the right to have breakfast, the one who cooks can sleep for half a day, and then prepare the meal at a normal speed, and the other afternoon when the sun is in the west to catch up with this meal---- in Guizhou is a chore, you say no. This is different from the common people in northern China, beating the horse and whipping a bowl of tea, this brother came to a hey, he could get off the horse with a piece of foot, and his friends hugged his fists and saluted, saying polite words such as the hard work of the brother all the way. There is really no harm if there is no comparison!
Jiang Shui two people walked to about five miles, climbed up a hill and saw a wild pear tree still hung a lot of fruit, although at this time the two were hungry a little out of strength, but driven by the desire to eat, Jiang Shui quickly climbed up the trunk, in a blink of an eye has reached out to pick the fruit and threw it down, the dry land dragon hurriedly used the corner of the clothes to catch the fruit thrown under the river water.
The two of them gulped on the wild pear, a mouthful of sweet juice filled their mouths, and after eating two or three, their teeth couldn't stand it, the fruit was too hard. Just this fruit, when I was a child, after Jiang Shui's father picked it from the mountain, he put it in hot water and cooked it for a while, dried it in the sun, tasted it, the flesh has become crispy and soft, and the taste is sweet and sour. Now the two of them are using the most primitive way of eating, which is naturally the biggest test of Yabang's chewing power.
There was some goods in the belly, and the stomach acid was not fussy, and the two of them leaned under the tree, and a wave of fatigue hit, and their limbs were sore.
It is said that in those years, when there was no grain harvest for many years, some people would eat some clay to quench their hunger, although they all knew that eating too much would kill people, but if people were extremely hungry, they could do anything.
