Chapter 9 Gaoling Town
Hearing Chen De call himself, Zhao Dekang stopped and turned around.
Chen De fumbled in his backpack for a while, and touched a special piece of paper, as if he was looking for it. When I took it out, it was a silver ticket of one hundred taels. After digging for a while, he found a big ingot of silver, and when he took it out, he saw that it was ten taels.
Chen De stepped forward with one foot high and one foot low, and stuffed the silver ticket into Zhao Dekang's hand along with the silver.
Zhao Dekang pushed the silver ticket and silver into Chen De's hand together, and said, "Young master, I don't dare to accept this, this is what you exchanged for with your life." ”
Chen De said very seriously: "You take it." With you today, Ah Liang and I can escape smoothly. Now is the time when the war is in chaos, and with one or two more silver, you can rely on one more point. ”
Resolutely stuffed the silver ticket and silver into Zhao Dekang's hand.
Hearing this, and one hundred and ten taels of silver is indeed a great wealth for ordinary people, Zhao Dekang was excited. He sincerely kowtowed to Chen De and said, "Son, there will be a place for Zhao Dekang in the future, and Zhao Dekang will never give up." ”
After saying that, he stood up and said, "Childe, take care!" and then turned and left west.
Zhang Zhiliang was so surprised when he saw that Chen De gave Zhao Dekang so much silver.
Chen De is usually a cautious person who spends money in his eyes, and he is even more shrunken than him.
He grabbed Chen De's hand and asked eagerly, "Have you made a fortune?"
Chen De said: "I killed two Dazhu soldiers who came to my house to steal things, and I searched a lot of things from them, and the Dazhu soldiers chased and killed me because of this." ”
"Can you kill the Dazhu soldiers, with what weapons?" Zhang Zhiliang felt incredible, and he asked Chen De.
Chen De patted his bow and replied, "Just use it." ”
"It looks like a toy, can it work?" Zhang Zhiliang immediately expressed his doubts.
Chen De didn't dwell on this topic with him, he continued: "I can't go back to Qianye Town, and once I enter, I'm afraid I'll die." I'm going to Gaoling Town, where are you going?"
Without waiting for Zhang Zhiliang to answer, he took out a piece of silver from his backpack, about seven or eight taels, and stuffed a handful into Zhang Zhiliang's hand, saying, "Thanks to your boat today." ”
Zhang Zhiliang was not polite, and directly put the silver into his arms. He thought for a moment and said, "Now Qianye Town is full of Dazhu soldiers, robbing things and killing people. It's not safe to go back, I'll go with you to Gaoling Town to hide for a few days. ”
"Okay, let's go. Chen De said simply.
The two of them rushed in the direction of Gaoling Town in the mountains. At first, it was very difficult to walk on the dirt ridge with no road, and if you were not careful, you would be scratched or punctured by jagged weed blades, thorns or dead branches on shrubs. Coupled with the rush to run in front of them when they fled for their lives, the bumps and scratches on their bodies increased unconsciously, and the hands and feet of the two were soon scarred.
From time to time, the two of them would encounter small animals, but they had no interest in them at all, and they only cared about hurrying.
After walking for more than an hour, the two finally walked to the main road to Gaoling Town. The two breathed a sigh of relief, the road was much easier and smoother.
Following the main road, the two walked for more than three hours, and finally arrived at Gaoling Town when it was almost dark. They had never walked such a long way, and they were tired, hungry and thirsty, and they were scarred all over, and their clothes were in tatters.
As soon as the two of them entered Gaoling Town, the people in the town immediately paid strong attention to these two teenagers who were in an extremely messy situation. Soon there were many people around the two. People keep asking: How can you two be like this?
Their answer shocked the people in Gaoling Town: The Dazhu ** team occupied Qianye Town, killed people in Qianye Town*, and they were chased and escaped.
Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang walked forward slowly, they wanted to find a restaurant to satisfy their hunger and thirst. There are more and more people who know that Qianye Town has been captured, and they are all talking about it. An atmosphere of panic began to permeate the town of Kaolin.
Suddenly, a capable young man walked out of the crowd, grabbed Chen De, and said, "You are Chen Jin'an's nephew, do you still know me?"
Chen De and the two stopped, and Chen De looked at it, and it turned out to be his fifth uncle Chen Jin'an's friend: Lan Yuxuan. Chen De had met him a few times at his fifth uncle's house, his name was elegant, but he was a martial arts practitioner.
Chen De was overjoyed and saluted him: "Uncle Lan is good." ”
Lan Yuxuan said dryly: "Let's go, go to my house." ”
Lan Yuxuan saw that the two of them were very tired and hungry, so they quickly led the way in front. After passing through a few alleys from the main street of the town, and after turning several corners, I arrived at Lan Yuxuan's house. A relatively quiet courtyard.
As soon as Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang entered, they found that the courtyard was deserted.
Lan Yuxuan explained: "My family is now elsewhere. He then said: "I went out into the street to buy food and drink, and you two yourselves were in your house to find water to drink, or when you saw any fruit, you took it and ate it yourself." ”
After Lan Yuxuan left, the two came to the kitchen and saw a few fruit trees behind the kitchen.
Shannan Province of the Great Yuan Kingdom is the southern frontier province of the Great Yuan Kingdom, with abundant rainfall and abundant sunshine, and the residents here have the habit of planting fruit trees in front of and behind the house.
Zhang Zhiliang couldn't help but salivate when he saw a crystal peach tree with many early-ripening fruits hanging on the tree, bright red and bright red. Thinking that Chen De actually had the ability to kill Dazhu soldiers with arrows, he had been hidden by him all the time, and wanted to see how Chen De's archery skills were.
He said to Chen De: "You have practiced a good archery without telling everyone, how about showing me a hand today?"
"Why do you show you a hand?"
Zhang Zhiliang replied: "I want to eat Jing Tao, I'm very tired now, I don't want to climb a tree at all, you can shoot Jing Tao down with an arrow." ”
Chen De had never shown off his archery skills in front of relatives and friends, and he was eager to try it after listening to Zhang Zhiliang's words.
Aiming at a crystal peach, an arrow was shot, but it was a "bang". The arrow hit the crystal peach, and the peach pit exploded.
Zhang Zhiliang was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's for you to shoot down the crystal peach, not for you to shoot the crystal peach." ”
Chen De smiled embarrassedly, adjusted the target to the fruit stalk, and shot the fruit branch if he couldn't see the fruit stalk.
The next thing is that the arrows are not missing. Chen De finally deliberately showed off three arrows in a row, two ripe peaches and one unripe.
Each shot peach was followed by Zhang Zhiliang under the tree. There are about a dozen of them. When this crystal peach is ripe, it is white and red, the flesh is crystal clear, sweet and delicious.
The two of them devoured under the tree, and after a while, there were only four or five crystal peaches left.
Lan Yuxuan came back after a while. I put on the cooked vegetables and sake that I bought, cooked the dishes that needed to be cooked, and cooked them.
By the time the three of them sat down at the table and were ready to eat, night had already fallen.
Lan Yuxuan burned himself and poured himself a drink.
While eating and chatting, Lan Yuxuan asked in detail about the situation in Qianye Town at that time, and was also very concerned about how they escaped from Qianye Town. When he knew that Chen De actually killed two Dazhu soldiers, he couldn't help but praise Chen De.
Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang ate some crystal peaches, which solved the problem of thirst and part of their hunger, and the meat dishes on the table were their appetite, and the happiness of the rest of their lives after the catastrophe also made them let go of their stomachs and eat a lot.
Coupled with the crystal peach in front of him, Chen De quickly filled his stomach.
Lan Yuxuan was drinking slowly, and began to chat with the two teenagers with a pair.
At this time, the sound of dripping rain came from outside the window.
Chen De, who had already eaten, was feeling a little bored and wanted to know what the situation was outside. Start caring about what's going on outside the house. Because he shot down the peach in front of him and used his ability once, he didn't want to use it again, but he just used his ears to listen.
Because of his special ability, his ear power is better than that of Lan Yuxuan, who is practicing martial arts. After a while, he heard some strange sounds, but Lan Yuxuan didn't notice it.
Chen De wanted to figure out why there was such a voice.
He thought about the situation outside, he "saw" the rain outside, and when he turned his observation to the east, behind him, he was startled.
He "saw" a man in black sneakily crouching at the window, with a blowpipe in his mouth, blowing in from the window. Chen De remembered the rumored incense, and thought to himself, "It's not good", he immediately held his breath, and glanced at Lan Yuxuan vigorously.
Lan Yuxuan was a little slow to react because he had drunk some wine, and he looked at Chen De with a wink, not understanding what Chen De meant. He was frowning and looking at Chen De, and at this time, Zhang Zhiliang, who was opposite Chen De, had already softened, and fell under the table with a "bang".
Only three or five breaths later, Lan Yuxuan also began to fall softly on the table.
Chen De was shocked, he threw himself forward, and collapsed on the table a little earlier than Lan Yuxuan, pretending to faint.
He rested his head on his left hand, leaned on the table, and reached his waist with his right hand.
Chen De held his breath until after a while, he heard the sound of a knife entering the sheath, and then the man in black walked in in a grand manner.
This man in black is of medium height, dressed in a short dress, and looks very strong.
After the man in black walked in, he first put the sheathed knife on the dining table and placed it opposite Lan Yuxuan, who had fainted, and then couldn't wait to rummage around the room, as if looking for something.
Chen De, who was uncomfortable, dared to breathe secretly at this time, and found that the effect of the incense had passed, and it was estimated that it was blown away by the wind, so he dared to breathe with confidence.
The man in black meticulously rummaged through the room twice, but did not find what he was looking for. He walked to Lan Yuxuan's side, took out a rope, and quickly tied Lan Yuxuan strongly. It seems that this kind of thing is often done.
He searched Lan Yuxuan's body up and down, and there was still a look of disappointment on his face.
The man in black glanced at Chen De and Zhang Zhiliang, and a trace of ruthlessness flashed on his face. He walked across the table, picked up the scabbard in his left hand, and drew it with his right.
Chen De, who had been paying attention to the man in black with his thoughts, thought to himself: If it is going to be bad, he is going to kill someone.
He couldn't take care of it anymore, Chen De had already pulled out the dagger in his right hand, he didn't raise his head, his legs and waist were forced, and he turned to the left suddenly, and the dagger in his right hand quickly pierced the chest of the man in black.
The man in black had just tied up Lan Yuxuan just now, and he had already confirmed that his incense had fully achieved the effect he wanted.
Chen De's surprise attack was completely unexpected, and he was stunned, and the dagger was about to pierce his left chest.
After all, the man in black often fights, and finally reacted at the last moment, and retreated with his left foot, avoiding the deadliest left chest.
