Chapter 16: Descending the Mountain
The road down the mountain in Loujia Village is winding and rugged, with nine bends and eighteen bends. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The enthusiastic Erdan took the big hand of the old man, walked on the way down the mountain, and kept asking about the anecdotes of celebrities in the rivers and lakes.
Five holy lands, thirteen peerless masters on the Tianwu List.
Thinking of such a big name, it makes the young man's blood surging, if he goes out and doesn't agree with others, he starts to start, and reports the font size, which is more bluffing.
It's like yourself, the name is cheesy, and the place where you live doesn't sound so atmospheric.
"What's your young man's name, report your name!"
"I'm Lou Erdan, the hero of Loujia Village!"
Fuck it, it's awkward to think about it yourself.
The road is already quite smooth, which means that you are about to get out of the mountains. Erdan picked up a branch, played a lame trick, and chopped around on the yellow and green wheat ears on both sides.
It's a pity that every time he waved, only a pitiful dozens of ears of wheat fell alone.
"Master, you said that Grandpa Xuanyuan is so powerful, no one in the world can beat him, why don't you become the emperor yourself?"
Seeing that his 'stick method' had no future, Erdan ran to the old man and asked questions.
Ezen glanced at him like a fool.
The emperor is so easy to do?
At the end of the Han and Tang dynasties, there were more than 100 heroes who wanted to be called kings and emperors, and there were probably more than a dozen people who had scheming strength to win the championship. In the end, isn't it still the four of them who shared the world equally and ascended to the Ninety-Five.
If you want to dominate the world by yourself, it's just a dream.
Even if Xuanyuan is invincible, even if the halberd suppresses the Quartet, he is only flesh and blood, and he has to be consumed to death if he can withstand the repeated charges of thousands of troops and horses. According to rumors, the lord of the Great Xia Kingdom was afraid that this fierce man would be worried about his head, so he made a detour to Tingzhou and gave him this opportunity to deter the world. No one was present to see with their own eyes how the number one in the Tianwu List fought with the barbarians in Tingzhou, so no one could say clearly, it was just speculation by later generations.
Later, when the army of barbarians attacked the capital of the country, he never heard that this old imperial uncle showed up to kill the enemy, and it was not because he filled the lives of hundreds of thousands of Zephyr soldiers that he drove those barbarians in animal skins out of the Zephyr country.
The rumors of the rivers and lakes can never be taken seriously, cut it in half, and then skim it off in three, which is probably the truth of the matter.
It didn't take long for an official road for four carriages to come into view.
On the occasion of the peaceful and prosperous era, the official road is bustling and very noisy.
For the second egg who went down the mountain for the first time, he was naturally extremely excited, running and stopping on this tree-lined official road, constantly spreading joy. Although Da Chun seems to be relatively quiet on the outside, he is a teenager of twelve or thirteen after all, and he is also more excited in his heart, pointing at the monkey-like guy from time to time.
"Master, that donkey is running so fast!" shouted Erdan, pointing to the strong wind that had just passed by.
"That's ...... horse"
"This is a horse, you can get me one, this is to ride up and steal chickens, see who can catch me." ”
“......”
"Master, why are they carrying a coffin?" Erdan pointed to the group of people who had just passed by.
"This is a sedan chair, people are marrying a daughter-in-law, not a coffin!" Master E's old face darkened, and he hurriedly pulled him over.
If the passing sedan chair man hadn't seen that Erdan was too young, he would have rushed over with his fist, and everyone in the welcoming team was staring at the disrespectful young man, with raised eyebrows and an unkind face.
The sedan chair seems to be different from the ordinary people when they get married, the ordinary people are eight people to carry the small sedan chair, but the line just passed by is carried by twelve people, and the sedan chair body is also much wider, it really looks like a coffin with bells and whistles.
Erdan had never seen the scene of marrying a sedan chair marrying a daughter-in-law, so he hurriedly asked: "Why don't we have a sedan chair in our village to marry a daughter-in-law? ”
Master E glanced at him and sneered: "Our village, the farthest two families have arrived to pee, and they still use a fart sedan chair!"
Erdan lowered his head and snapped his fingers, constantly calculating how long it would take to pee, and before he could figure out whether the two families in the village could pee or not, he himself had a swelling of his lower abdomen and wanted to relieve himself.
Before the old man went down the mountain, he was afraid that he would make a fool of himself, and he specially told him that unlike the random going to the crops on the mountain to solve the problem, there is a place to hide the shame at the bottom of the mountain, called the thatched toilet, which is specially used to solve the big and small problems.
The young man suddenly found a shed on the side of the road, surrounded by thatched grass in all directions, similar to the image of the thatched toilet that Master Du said, so he shouted loudly: "Master E, is that a thatched toilet? I want to pee!"
The old man roared angrily: "That's the tea shed!"
Looking at the eyes of the pedestrians on the road, the old man hurriedly lowered his head and hurriedly walked a few steps, ignoring the young man who was shouting and screaming, as if he had nothing to do with the stupid boy.
The owner of the tea shed that is said to be a thatched latrine is a white-haired old man, who has been operating a tea shed here for most of his life, and this simple grass shed has long been famous, and people in the vicinity also know this place, so there is no sign.
The old man is still setting up a stall here at such an old age, not to covet the two eldest sons, but after hearing others say that the tea he boiled is rich and mellow, and his teeth and cheeks are fragrant, this old man is like eating ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, and his whole body is comfortable and light.
After hearing the young man's foul language, the guests who were sitting in it drinking tea just now felt that the clear yellow water in the cup was not as mellow and fragrant as before, but a little unappetizing, so they took out the money to settle the bill, covered their mouths and noses and walked out.
After the old man sitting in the shed saw this scene, his head was a little dizzy with anger, how could he bear this thing of being slapped in the face, so he rushed out violently, holding a gourd scoop used to scoop tea in his hand.
Because the troublemaker has jumped far away, and his body bones are not very tough, the white-haired old man can only swallow this evil breath, waving the curvy melon scoop in his hand, and constantly scolding, hoping that if he knows the legendary immortal's spell of beheading thousands of miles away, he has to give the naughty boy who is more than ten feet away a royal scoop to fly his belly, so as to relieve his chest stuffiness.
After walking for a while, there was a fork in the road ahead, the one on the right was the official road leading to the city, and the one on the left was the path leading to the villages.
The old man often passed by here, and knew that this path could actually reach the city, although the road was uneven and a little detoured, it was better than following the cowardly goods in front of so many people.
So after a little thought, the old man walked towards the potholed path.
Erdan, who had just finished solving the burden on his body, ran over, not knowing that there was an old man selling tea who wanted to play with him just now, and followed behind Master E and Dachun, his face was full of comfort and comfort.
This path is different from the noisy official road, it is unusually quiet and secluded, and the pedestrians who come and go can not see a single one when they walk out of several miles, when the three of them, old and young, walk to the grassy road, there are a few figures with weapons faintly visible in the grass on both sides.
They live in remote and sparsely populated areas, so most of the people do not have a good life. Many men who can't afford to eat also make a living by robbing some wealthy people on the road, it is not appropriate to say that they are strongmen who cut the path, they can only be called a group of three soft thieves who are not hard in hand, not hard in heart, and not hard in waist.
"Old... Boss, do you want to move... Do it?" a squinted-eyed young man hiding in the grass lay on the ground, his eyes showing a panicked look.
Because he had just joined the gang and was the first time to do this kind of business, he was very nervous, trembling all over, and his speech was not very neat.
Although the boss looks ordinary, he is dressed in a green robe, and his head is also wrapped in a grass-green scarf, which looks a little elegant.
He looked at the figure of the old man with the two teenagers who had just passed, shook his head, almost hit the green turban on his slanted face, and said in a deep voice: "These three people are dressed in tatters, not like a rich family, although the package on the old man's body is bulging, but it will soften as soon as the force is applied, I'm afraid it's either bedding or clothes, I'm afraid it's nothing valuable." If you take a closer look, although the white-bearded old man is old, he has a broad back and thick arms, and he walks like a tiger, so he is probably a practitioner who is not easy to mess with, so let's wait. ”
After squinting and hearing the boss's delicate and nuanced analysis, he suddenly realized, stretched out his thumb and pointed high, admiring the middle-aged man in the green hat in his heart.
Since the boss gathered these people to rob the road for a living, there have been few accidents, and many relatives and neighbors in the village have also followed him to do this moneyless business, not only was his head cut off by the government, but also sent a lot of silver taels to his home from time to time. It's no wonder that the boss has been doing it since he entered the industry, and there are few mistakes, and he really has a Taoist industry specialization, and he has to go back and work hard.
The old man had already discovered their existence, and the whispers of the two couldn't hide from his ears, but in the past few years, he had raised his temperament in the mountains a little weakly, and he didn't like to kill people at every turn. Besides, these guys hiding in the grass are either holding dung forks or hoes, and they are more shabby than themselves.
The old man thought as he walked, this kind of encounter was a relatively big battle for the two children, Da Chun and Erdan, but he wanted to consider the thoughts of these two children, this kind of risk-free tempering was not easy to come by.
But those thieves did not fulfill the old man's wish, and obediently let them go.
Ezen regrets regrets, and he can't rush to the bandit to provoke it, isn't that a self-destructive image.
When they walked over, a group of people came over, and there was a loud sound of suona and gongs and drums, they were the wedding team that the second egg laughed at just now as a 'coffin'.
Since they had just entered the entrance of the bridegroom's village, the musicians played as hard as they could, scaring the thieves hiding in the jungle very much, and thought that the official lord had sent someone to clear them.
The frightened boss suddenly became angry: "Give it to me!"
A group of ragged men jumped out from both sides of the road, and the squint-eyed young man shouted nervously: "Fight, fight, fight... Robbery!"
