Chapter 4 Earth Movement
The right wrist of the haystack was red and swollen by the stone, and his painful mouth was crooked, he took a few steps back, covered the wound and glared and shouted: "Who is plotting against Lao Tzu!"
The yellow-faced and thin-skinned people were silent. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
The haystack looked around, and did not find anyone who looked like a master of martial arts, so he gave a few orders to his subordinates, turned around and walked into the Li Mansion, and swallowed this breath into his stomach.
After living for more than 30 years, if you don't have the eyesight to judge the situation, you can pee and drown yourself. A single stone can almost shatter a wrist bone, so what if you replace it with a larger stone? What if you replace it with a knife?
The most domineering Liewei Gate in the city is unparalleled in Rongzhou, but what happened to it? Wasn't it also slaughtered by a white-haired god overnight?!
In these years, the most unprovoked thing is not those masters who have been famous for many years, nor are they the big factions who have been powerful for many years, but the wandering knights who have martial arts and walk the rivers and lakes single-handedly.
Chivalry, this is a good thing to say, but to put it badly, that is, it is not stingy, two hundred and five.
These people are often withdrawn by nature, they don't care much about the laws of the dynasty, everything is a matter of one sword, and all problems like to be reasoned with fists.
They are known as charlatans, a kind of people who are hated by large families.
Most of the Jianghu guests disappeared immediately after killing people, and even if their whereabouts were discovered, those officials in the yamen who only held one or two pieces of silver a month would not play with their lives nine times out of ten. And to hunt down a person in the rivers and lakes, unless it is a big case that shocks the dynasty, a large number of soldiers will definitely not be used. It's not that he stole the queen's lascivious clothes and pants, who would send an army to do such a thankless thing.
As the haystack walked into Li's mansion, the people also shifted their attention, and they didn't bother to look at the seriously injured cow on the ground, staring at the steamed buns piled up as high as a small mountain, just hoping that it would be their turn as soon as possible.
In these years, human life is as cheap as mustard, and there are unlucky people on the streets every day, who has never seen a dead person?
It's a big deal to have a full stomach......
......
......
It was late at night, and the little locust tree, which usually likes to go to bed early and get up early, was so preoccupied that he couldn't fall asleep after turning over and over, struggled, and slowly climbed to the side of the "backer", and asked softly: "Brother, you are a martial artist, right?"
Hua Wuyan pillowed his hands under his head, looked at the waning moon, and his tone was not shocked: "Why do you say that?"
Xiao Huaishu showed a smug smile, "When you picked up stones during the day, I saw it!"
"What does it have to do with a martial artist when I pick up a stone?" Hua Wuyan didn't admit.
"When I was a child, I had good eyes, I could see things more than ten miles away, and the neighbors in the village said that I had a pair of thief eyes, and if I went to the army to be that monkey, I would definitely be able to make a name for myself. The little locust tree kept gesturing with both hands and said angrily.
"Scouts?"
"Yes, yes, this is the scout. I heard that as long as I became a scout, I would be able to get more than two taels of military pay a month, which was more than that of a military commander! Unfortunately, I was too young for people to want, and when I grew taller than a horse, I would go to the army and enlist in the army, and I would definitely be able to eat a full meal every meal, and maybe even a meal of meat every month. The little locust tree said with great interest, and even his voice was a little higher.
Hua Wuyan looked at this little guy who didn't know the height of the sky, shook his head, and said softly: "Do you know how many lives the border scouts take every day?"
At the beginning, I heard Master E often say that when the two armies fought, not every time they put on a position like the storyteller's mouth, and the two sides fought to the death. Instead, they all cautiously tested first, and after getting a thorough understanding of the other party's bottom, the coach dared to send a large army to swarm up. If you only want to rely on the advantage of numbers to crush your opponent, most of them have no chance of winning. Throughout the ages, there have been countless battles with many victories and few victories, among which the most praised is the legendary act of the god of war emperor of the Han and Tang dynasties, who broke through the 100,000 army with 3,000 horses.
In the trial confrontation, the highest loss is the elite scouts, often before the battle starts, hundreds of scouts have to die under the opponent's guns and arrows.
Therefore, even if the military salary of the scouts is extremely high, few people are willing to carry their heads to do this life-saving business.
The little locust tree didn't understand the danger inside, and was extremely yearning for the treatment of more than two taels of silver a month and a full meal every day, and said with a big grin: "Anyway, my legs and feet are nimble, even if I ride a fast horse on the opposite side, I may not be able to catch me in the forest. ”
"Damnation, what damnation?" asked Hua Wuyan with a frown.
The little locust tree scratched the place on his body that had been bitten by lice, and said calmly: "I also forgot what it was called, anyway, many nearby villages were hit by seedlings at that time, as if there was a big monster under the ground turning over, making a lot of cracks on the ground, which is scary to look at." And all the houses collapsed, and even the mountains collapsed a lot, and all the men and animals were buried in them, and I ran out of them. ”
"Ground moving?"
When Hua Wuyan was looking for cranes in the mountains that year, he also experienced the power of heaven and earth, if it wasn't for Brother Dachun's quick reaction of half a step, he would have been buried in the torrent long ago. Later, I heard others say that the natural disaster of the mudslide is not a big scene at all, and there is a bigger disaster, called earth movement, which is really a landslide and a tsunami, and the sky is falling. It is not uncommon for a large earth movement to fill in hundreds of thousands of people.
The child in front of him, who is less than ten years old, has experienced a tragic scene of earth movement?
Xiao Huaishu nodded, and there was no expression on his face that was covered by chaos, but his tone was extremely relaxed: "Brother is still knowledgeable, but the ground moves." It seems that the people of the neighboring village have demolished a temple, and the gods in the sky are angry, so they send a monster to turn over the ground, and only one of them survived in my village, and a few of the other villages escaped. Brother, do you think I can be a scout with my legs, feet and eyes?"
The little locust tree didn't seem to be too resistant to the tragic past, and there was no emotional fluctuation between the words, just asking if he could be a scout. It seems that this matter is more important to him than the natural disasters that bury countless bones.
Hua Wuyan looked at the little guy who had a rough life compared to himself, and felt deep pity in his heart, and the tranquility of the other party's aftermath made him feel that the little locust tree was extremely desolate. He was not a cold man by nature, otherwise he would not have helped Da Niu during the day, and he would not have stolen some food and silver at night and sent it to Da Niu's house. Looking at the grateful eyes of the family of three who were sick in bed at home, Hua Wuyan felt that everything he did was worth it.
Hua Wuyan touched the head of the little locust tree for the first time: "You can not only be a scout, but also a general." ”
The white teeth of the little locust tree flickered in the dark night, and it was very brilliant.
