Chapter 345 [Ancient Road] (II)
Although Zhang Changgong had not dealt with the Hong family, he had seen the great changes in Luo Lie's mood because of this incident, and he naturally knew the status of the Hong family in Luo Lie's heart, and he comforted Luo Lie: "Ji people have their own natural appearance, I believe ......" His words were interrupted by rolling spring thunder.
Suddenly, the wind became stronger, the river was rough, the sailboat was dusty in the waves, and the passengers on board let out a panicked exclamation.
Zhang Changgong forgot to speak, closed his eyes, although the wind and waves in front of him could not be compared with what they encountered in the sea, but he still didn't like the feeling of being in the river, only being down-to-earth could make him feel more comfortable.
After another half an hour of suffering in the wind and waves, the ship finally arrived at the opposite shore safely, the rain still showed no sign of abating, and Zhang Longbow's feet fell on the bluestone slab ground of the pier, and a hanging heart fell to the ground.
At this time, Luo Lie had already negotiated a carriage, although he had crossed the river, there were still more than 300 miles left, and most of them were rugged and difficult mountain roads.
The two got into the carriage and traveled through the bumpy mountain path, and arrived at Qingyang that night, when the rain became heavier and heavier, and the coachman led them to an inn at the foot of Jiuhua Mountain.
Although this is not a prosperous town, but because it is not far from Jiuhua Buddhism, and because of the heavy rain, there are many guests who come to stay, there are no separate rooms, only Datong shop can live, and now this situation is not picky, Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong are people who can endure hardships, and it is not wise to travel in the rain, so they decided to live here.
Because there were too many guests, there were few dishes left, so the two ordered a pot of dried bamboo shoots and roasted pork, a edamame tofu, a fried dried shrimp with leeks, a plate of fried peanuts, and two catties of local plum wine.
Zhang Changgong could guess Luo Lie's mood at the moment, picked up the wine glass and said: "If you come, you will be safe, since God keeps us, we can only be safe." ”
Luo Lie smiled: "When did Brother Zhang learn to be so literate?" You must know that Zhang Changgong is illiterate, and he can't read a lot of words, and he can't say these words in the past, but now is different from the past, he has been cultivated by Luo Lie's side for a long time, and he is used to seeing the world, and now he can actually make witty words.
Zhang Changgong said with a smile: "I have never eaten pork and have seen pigs run ......" After speaking, he felt that this was not appropriate, and the two looked at each other and laughed at the same time.
After drinking this glass of wine, Zhang Changgong picked up a piece of edamame tofu and frowned, "Can this thing be eaten?"
Luo Lie nodded, picked up a piece and ate it first, Zhang Changgong swallowed it in one bite like him, and nodded while eating: "Not bad." ”
Luo Lie said: "Poverty in the mountainous areas of southern Anhui, the people are reluctant to throw it when they see the long hair of tofu, pretend to have the courage to try it, I didn't expect this tofu to be surprisingly delicious, since then there has been edamame tofu, the locals often say, eat the snack edamame tofu every day, and do not hesitate to be a Huizhou person." ”
Zhang Changgong sighed: "I can't beat you in my life." ”
Luo Liedao: "There is a specialization in the art industry, and there is a precedence in hearing the Tao, and I can't compare to Brother Zhang's hunting and archery skills." ”
Zhang Changgong took a sip of wine and said, "Although the strength in my body has been reduced, the accuracy of archery is back." ”
Luo Lie said: "In the past, I always wanted to be perfect in everything, but now I find that there are many things in this world that you can't succeed in by working hard. ”
Zhang Changgong said: "Hard work may not be successful, but if you don't work hard, you will fail." ”
Luo Lie laughed, Zhang Changgong's words always revealed a simple truth. He realized that he had an unprecedented sense of exhaustion in his heart, which stemmed from his understanding of the times, from the fact that he could not get rid of the trend of history, let alone change the fate of the people around him.
Luo Lie said: "When the Hong family is rescued, I am ready to leave for a while." ”
Zhang Changgong's hand holding the wine glass paused obviously, and then slowly put the wine glass down: "Where are you going?" After asking, he began to regret it, because of Luo Lie's temperament, he would definitely not say what he didn't want to say.
Luo Lie said: "Even if it's a decision." ”
Zhang Changgong's brows furrowed, and he wanted to get the wine jug, but Luo Lie had already picked it up and filled the glass of wine for him.
Zhang Changgong said: "Let's go together!" Although he didn't know where Luo Hunt was going, he always had a hunch that Luo Hunt would definitely be extremely risky to go this time.
Luo Lie said: "Sometimes I think, if you hadn't met me and were still hunting in Pale Mountain, you would be happy to be at ease. ”
Zhang Changgong drank the wine in his cup and said: "The last time I went to sea, I often thought of the days of Pale Mountain, but when we really returned to Pale Mountain, I found that even if I returned there, I would never be able to go back to the old days." ”
Luo Lie looked at Zhang Longbow, and felt inexplicably sorry in his heart, it was he who changed his life.
Zhang Changgong said: "When my mother was alive, she often said to me - a good man has ambitions in all directions. If I hadn't met you, I might not have been able to leave Pale Mountain for the rest of my life, and I would have been a mountain man who hunted for a living. ”
Luo Lie said: "Plain is true. ”
Zhang Changgong shook his head and said, "I'm a person who is not willing to be plain, do you know that Wei Lin has never stopped his killer career." ”
Luo Lie looked at Zhang Longbow in surprise, and Zhang Longbow said again: "Why did Arnold come back? It's all the same reason, wolves travel thousands of miles to eat meat! The nature of human bones can't be changed like animals!"
Luo Lie said: "But people can change. ”
Zhang Changgong said: "I have also changed, if it wasn't for Fujino Toshio sucking up more than half of my strength this time, I really don't know what it would have become in the future." ”
Luo Lie pursed his lips, and after a while, he said, "Actually, there is something I have been hiding from everyone. ”
Zhang Changgong said: "Don't say it, I don't understand it, anyway, I will go wherever you go." ”
For Luo Lie, this is another sleepless night, the snoring in the big room is one after another, the air is filled with all kinds of strange smells mixed with body odor and musty smell, Luo Lie put on his clothes, got up and came to the door, and saw that the rain had stopped, and the night sky after the heavy rain was deep and high.
The air at night was slightly cool, and the air was filled with the smell of grass and earth, which shocked Luo Lie's spirit, and he still didn't tell Zhang Changgong what he was hiding after all, it was about the Yu God Monument, and he found the secret in the pedestal of the Yu God Monument.
Song Changjin is obviously not that simple, otherwise he would not have stared at the blue bead, as for Fujino Haruko to be able to design a trap so carefully, introduce everyone into it, and take this opportunity to get rid of Fujino Toshio, this woman's scheming and courage are undoubtedly superhuman.
What really made Luo Hunt vigilant was that Haruko Fujino devoured all the power in Toshio Fujino's body and turned it into his own use, and Haruko Fujino was the ultimate devourer. Luo Lie deduced that the biggest secret of the Fujino family's Black Sun Forbidden Code should fall into the hands of Fujino Haruko, otherwise Fujino Toshio would not have spent so much money to find and deal with her.
In the Flying Eagle Castle, Luo Hunt is not sure enough to deal with Haruko Fujino, not to mention that she still has a trump card in her hand, and all signs indicate that the sparrow is likely to be under her control.
As for Lan Ximei, Luo Lie still can't judge her position, although he can be sure that Lan Ximei likes him, and even can conclude that Lan Ximei will not harm herself, but Lan Ximei should not be like herself to others. Lan Ximei and Haruko Fujino once showed him the same photo, is there some kind of unknown connection in this?
Luo Lie raised his head and looked at the stars in the sky, I heard that people will become a star in the sky after death, I wonder if there are their own parents in these stars? I wonder if they were as confused as they are now when they traveled through time and space to this era?
Luo Lie took out a blue bead from his close-fitting pocket, and the bead gradually became brighter under the moonlight, looking like Luo Lie's palm holding a blue star......
Before dawn, they were already on the road, although the rain stopped, but the mountain road was muddy and difficult to walk, the carriage staggered in the mud, and fell into the mud puddle several times on the way, Luo Lie and Zhang Changgong had to get down to help push the cart, they hoped to be able to reach Huizhou that day, but the heavy rain that came back in the afternoon made them have to dispel this idea.
If you want to hurry, Luo Lie's state of mind is quite peaceful, he can already judge that this game is aimed at himself, and before he enters the game, it is not very likely that the Hong family's grandchildren will encounter accidents.
When they were halfway up the mountain, the road in front of them collapsed, and the car could no longer pass, and the driver looked at the broken road in front of them.
Luo Lie walked to the landslide and looked at it, there was still about half a meter left on the road that could have been used by a carriage, even if it was a person, it could only barely pass, and it was obviously impossible for the carriage to pass here.
"Two masters, why don't we turn back and go down the mountain and choose to travel around the mountain. ”
Luo Lie said: "How long will it be delayed?"
The coachman thought for a moment and said, "About a day." ”
Luo Lie shook his head and said, "Forget it, you can send us here, and we will go by ourselves for the rest of the road." "The affairs of the grandfather and grandson of the Hong family cannot be delayed for too long, so as not to have many dreams at night.
Zhang Changgong also agreed with Luo Lie's choice, the two took the luggage, said goodbye to the coachman, walked through the landslide section, according to the coachman, along the mountain road over the mountain can reach the oven town, in the town should be able to rent a car and horses to continue to move forward, the coachman because he did not complete the whole process, plan to return the money to them, Luo Lie also confiscated, this year is not easy for the people to make a living.
Hiking in the rain in the mountains is still the test of physical strength, and the most feared is to lose your way, but Zhang Changgong is a good hand at surviving in the mountains, and he has saved a lot of trouble.
