Chapter 361: Who's the Praying Mantis and Who Is the Sparrow (1)
Xiao Qi walked out of the courtyard and looked at the bottom of the house, there seemed to be a pile of hay under the house, which made Xiao Qi feel lucky.
Xiao Qi lay on the ground and stretched out his hand to pull out the hay under the house.
Although there was not much hay, it was enough for them to put on the planks, so that everyone could rest at night without being too cold.
In the middle of the room was an iron object, and there were traces of a fire on it, which seemed to be where the hunters kept warm.
Xiao Qi took a handful of licorice, first put it in that place, and then walked out of the room, looking around to see if there was any wood to use.
This is the place where Orion went up the mountain to rest, but as if he had used it up, Xiao Qi did not find any extra wood in this small courtyard.
Xiao Qi sighed, "Hey, it seems that we still have to wait for Uncle Xiang Cai and them to come back." ”
Xiao Qi didn't know what to do for the rest, and the city returned to the house and watched Mo Yan and Ding Gong look at each other.
Xiao Qi didn't know if these two people didn't deal with each other, or if they were so good, anyway, as soon as they had nothing to do, the two of them began to misfire.
Xiao Qi, who was sitting beside them, was uncomfortable, so he could only walk out of the room again.
The sun was still hesitantly hanging in the west, and it seemed that there was no intention of sinking now, so Xiao Qi decided to go out with Xiang Cai and the others to find the trap left by Orion here.
The moon is cloudy and sunny, life is a blessing and a curse, maybe it is transferred, this is used, and it can't be stopped, Xiao Qi walked around outside, and picked up three rabbits.
At this time, the sky was about to darken, and Xiao Qi knew that he couldn't move forward anymore. If you go further and can't find your way back, that's a troublesome thing.
Xiao Qi, who returned to the house, hadn't seen Xiang Cai and them come back, but he saw the dry branches placed in the house, indicating that they had already come back once.
"Uncle Xiang Cai, have they been back? What are they going to do again? ”
Mo Yan and Ding Gong glanced at Xiao Qi, "You're back!" Don't worry about Mo Yan and them, they will come back in a while, saying that they have found a large prey. ”
Xiao Qi sighed, and put the three rabbits in his hand on the ground.
In the middle of the house, there was already a fire in the place where Xiao Qi put the hay.
There was a pot on the fire, and there was already steaming in it.
Ding Gong saw the three rabbits that Xiao Qi put on the ground and said, "I didn't expect you little guy to go out and have this harvest." ”
"I'm very lucky when it comes to eating."
Xiao Qi also sat next to the fire with a piece of wood, and baked his body by the fire with the two old men.
It didn't take long for Xiang Cai and a few people to come back, carrying a slightly larger roe deer and walking into the room.
If they eat this roe deer, it will be enough for them to eat for three or four days, but unfortunately they are destined to not finish eating this situation.
Xiang Cai and his subordinates were familiar with peeling and cutting this roe deer, so they divided the roe deer into several parts. He then skewered the roe deer meat with wooden sticks. It was set up on a fire stand.
After eating, several people fell to the ground very satisfied, and the windows on all sides had been sealed by the beating of Xiang Cai's men.
There was no excessive wind blowing in all around, except for Xiao Qi, everyone else snuggled together to rest.
Xiao Qi wore the blanket handed over by Xiang Cai, surrounded himself, looked at the firelight, and didn't know what to think.
Looking at the firelight, he unconsciously leaned on the bed behind him and fell asleep.
The next day, because it was roasted meat, you could bring some with you, and the rest was buried in the snow by your subordinates just now, along with the rabbits that Xiao Qi had brought over.
Xiang Cai also left some silver taels on the bed, now that the weather is so cold, it seems that the meat buried in snow can be left for a while, as for the silver taels, it is to compensate those hunters, no matter what, their group also ate a whole roe deer.
The rest of the days they spent in the mountains, passing a small village in the middle of the road, and the rest of the time was mainly looking for some caves, barely spending a few winter nights.
"Is Anqing Prefecture ahead?"
Xiao Qi stood on the mountain, looking at the plains in the distance, as far as the eye could see, and he couldn't even see a mountain bag.
"It's Anqing Prefecture before, and I don't know where this mountain road leads, so I need the guidance of Master Laodinggong!"
Nail Palace looked into the distance and said to everyone: "Not far away, there is a town, should we go inside to rest?" If you don't go, the poor monk can take a few people back on the official road. ”
Mo Yan said: "Now we are in the town is tantamount to looking for death. ”
"Since Grandpa Mo Yan said so, let's go directly to the official road."
After so many days, Xiao Qi is no longer called Ding Gong, he is called Ding Gong, and he occasionally calls him an old bald donkey like Mo Yan.
Ding Gong doesn't care about these names, he can call any Xiaoqi any way.
In Xiaoqi, Anqing Prefecture, these few days of stable days, drinking and eating along the way can be regarded as very leisurely, and even under Xiang Cai's arrangement, they also rented a few carriages.
But the good times still don't last long, and I don't know when the news was revealed.
On this day, a large number of troops suddenly attacked them, and without Xiang Cai thinking carefully, he could guess that these people were coming towards them.
If so many people were to fight them here, it was clear that there was no chance of victory.
In order to ensure Xiao Qi's safety, Xiang Cai ordered the carriage to be directly divided into four teams and fled in four different directions.
Although Xiang Cai's method is not an optimal solution, it solves the current problem.
Now there are only two people by Xiao Qi's side, Mo Yan and Ding Gong, and the three of them have a lot of effort to shake off the people behind them, and now they have fled into the mountains.
"Grandpa Mo Yan, Uncle Xiang Cai, they won't have anything, right?"
"They're all experienced people, and they won't get into trouble because of this, so you can rest assured."
"But..."
"It's okay, you have to believe your Uncle Xiang Cai."
In this deep mountain now, none of the three of them knew where to go now, or where to go now.
This deep mountain has deviated from the original scheduled route, and even Mo Yan and Nail Palace are not sure where the three of them are now.
They came out of Gyeonggi and traveled a long way along the intersection of Anqing Prefecture and Daheungfu, where they were overtaken by the soldiers, and at this time they had to separate.
Daxingfu is not as flat as Anqingzhou, but Daxingfu is a mountain range, and there is one of the five high mountains in Daxingfu, which is pregnant with dragon mountain.
So, in order to avoid the risk, the carriage divided into four teams and fled in four directions.
The only thing that is good is that they made an appointment with Xiang Cai at the beginning, and if there is anything wrong in the middle, they will meet in the next few states and counties, and the next place is Shengri City in Zhongzhou.
Mo Yan and Dinggong took Xiao Qi with them, and they walked specifically from places with many footprints, this was to prevent others from discovering their whereabouts, and several people walked from places where there were many people and the roads were mixed.
After going back and forth a few times, you left aside the soldiers who were chasing them.
There were several encounters during this period, but Mo Yan and Ding Gong worked together to persuade these soldiers to retreat by force.
However, Xiao Qi and they also know that now that Xiao Qi has been exposed to these soldiers, it won't be long before someone comes here to round them up.
You Xiao Qi have to get out of here before the situation gets the worst, they can handle a team of a few hundred people now, but if there are many people in the future, three people will definitely not be able to escape this kind of encirclement.
Fortunately, the terrain of this Daxing Mansion was conducive to their hiding, and a few people crossed a hill and saw the village at the foot of the mountain.
When the three of them entered the village, the people of the village stared at them suspiciously.
The costumes of the three of them are too strange, a dusty old man, a strange-looking monk, and a little girl dressed richly.
Wherever such a combination is placed, it will attract the attention of others.
"Amitabha, the poor monk came from afar, may I ask the donor, I don't know if the precious land is the boundary with the land?"
Seeing that so many people didn't want to deal with him, the group stopped a man who wanted to leave.
The man heard the voice of the nail palace, and looked extremely confused, as if he didn't understand what the nail palace was saying.
Mo Yan dragged Ding Gong behind him, and then spoke to the man again in the local dialect.
Hearing the familiar accent, the man seemed to let go of a little mustard.
This place is located in the southeast of Daxing Province, and it is only a few hills away from Anqing Prefecture.
Although Mo Yan told the man that they wanted to stay here, the man's hesitation still made them stop thinking.
Although he didn't succeed in staying in the village, he finally knew where he was.
Zhongzhou is now that they can't go, that place is not conducive to them to hide, and the three of them decided to take a detour from Daxing Mansion to Zhongzhou.
However, the detour from Daxingfu to Zhongzhou is also to get rid of the troops encircling and suppressing them first.
The mountains are continuous, maybe a good place to go, but now they don't know if those people know that their destination is Huaihuang Mansion.
Or will they think that Xiao Qi, they are just moving forward aimlessly.
It is estimated that this matter can only be known from the mouths of those generals.
The three of them were still hiding, and in order to know their current situation, they had to pretend to be a boy with Xiao Qi.
But Xiao Qi's men's appearance is too cute, if you don't care about it, you may not find anything, if someone has a heart, Xiao Qi's woman pretending to be a man will be directly punctured.
