Volume 1丨Jiang is the hometown of the Qing Dynasty Chapter 71: Some people ask for blessings and some people ask for death
The green belt surrounds the river and turns back to the mountains, and the red stamen burns the mountain and travels to the feet.
At noon, a little girl who has not seen such an innocent and lively girl for a long time, sitting on the back of a strange big fish, shaking her head, while her two little feet keep stepping on the river, holding the red flowers picked from the river, humming happily I don't know who taught her, or she is simply happy to hum something, under her, a group of rainbow scales also follow the tune of the little girl, suddenly gathered in groups, and suddenly scattered in the water forest, as if it was also happy and happy.
More than the spring month, along the Dongqiao River, as if the river water is washed again, the withered grass and trees are rejuvenated, but in the morning and evening there is still a slight chill after the autumn, it seems that Qizhou and Jiangguo's Bozhou are very different, especially compared to the river water and the coast of the Green River, the Dongqiao River here, as if the mountains and hills are born in the river, the trails along the coast are completely mountaineers, with two feet to step on it, occasionally, there will be a tributary to separate the two mountains, from which to penetrate, only here and now, there is a slight still broad field, Many villages are also settled here, and many houses are either half-built in the forests of the river or half-located in the mountains, and they work together to cultivate some subsistence crops or catch some fresh water and wild animals on the fertile land formed by alluvium.
Fortunately, there is no such expropriation as Shiguo, whether it is a farmer or a mountain people, there is no need to worry about heavy taxes or paying grain, but when they enter the city to barter or sell some silver, the city officials will symbolically collect some, which is basically a few steamed buns.
The red flowers in Ah Le's hand, at this time, as the sun slowly deflects to the west, the red stamens also begin to become orange-red and yellowish, these rainbow scale flowers born in the Dongqiao River, every spring, will rise and fall with the sun, from red to purple illusion of seven colors, and even some talented children are more than 30 colors, and the adults and elders are only regarded as children's unscrupulous children's words.
This flower, with its namesake rainbow scales in general, can only be born in the Dongqiao River, there were gentry and nobles and their families want to transplant or raise, all ended in failure, so it can be seen that heaven and earth have their own good nature, and not changed by people.
Rowing all the way up the raft, Liang Zongli's heart has never been so calm, after leaving the bridge, the river is surprisingly calm and gentle, even more quiet and far-reaching than the green river and the surrounding mountains of Jiangxi where he has lived since childhood.
Smiling and looking at Ah Le beside him, he looked up at the scenery on both sides from time to time, and finally the unhappiness that accumulated in Liang Zongli's heart seemed to be after the catastrophe, and finally disappeared. However, when you rush to Hetai City, do you want to meet Jiang Quanyi, the king of Thailand, do you want to inquire about the situation of the other two butterfly fleets, or do you want to return to Dustpan Village? The near-term worries that had just disappeared were frowned upon by the inexplicable longings of the foresight.
A "water monster" with scattered hair suddenly came out of Liang Zongli's raft, and Liang Zongli was so frightened that he was about to poke at the thing with a wooden stick, only to hear the hearty laughter of Higashino Shiba, Liang Zongli snorted, didn't bother to take care of her, and continued to row the raft.
"Hey, Mu Liang, how can I say it, we have also had a friendship a few times, aren't you curious about me and Hong Niang for a long time?"
"If you're not interested, you're naturally not curious."
"Yo Yo Yo, how old a person is, he looks old-fashioned. Lele, look at your brother Liangzi, can he be a grandfather? ”
"If I were grandpa, what would you be? Good granddaughter? ”
"If you have the ability, you will go back to the village with me and say it in front of my mother-in-law?"
"Hmph, I'm so scared."
Ah Le just smiled and watched the two of them talking, and was left on the shore by Liang Zongli that day, Ah Le didn't have time to worry or cry, and found that the originally dim sky quickly returned to clear, in a trance, he seemed to see a person and a strange shadow behind him, put Liang Zongli and Higashino Zhi to her side, and then touched his head kindly, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
After a while, Hong Niang swam over and said clearly to Ah Le, the two of them are fine, they just fell asleep tired, don't worry, and then let Ah Le sit on his back, and keep circling around the two of them in the river, teasing Ah Le, so that the little guy doesn't have to worry too much, and at the same time, it is also to make himself a different transformation this time, so that the Lingqi in his body can run well.
At this time, Hongniang, the two horns are becoming more and more solid and straight, and the scales of the fish all over the body have all faded, and then another kind of fish armor is born, which can tremble slightly, not as before, as long as you master the essentials, the fish armor trembles slightly, and you can swim freely in the river.
The existence of pulling out the lock spirit thread imposed on him by Mu Sidi, and then caressing his head and infusing it with a huge Lingqi, Hong Niang just had some guesses, but she didn't dare to think about it, if it was true, she would go back to Dongye Village and tell a few elders, believing that her mother-in-law would all go crazy.
After Liang Zongli and Higashino Zhi returned to normal, the three of them and one fish swam slowly up the Dongqiao River. From time to time, mountain people or farmers would see them, and at first they didn't take it seriously, but after seeing the rainbow lady and the flocks of rainbow scales, they all leaned down and prayed, silently chanting something.
At this time, Hong Niang will also swim to the front of those people with interest, symbolically turning out of the river, as if responding to their prayers and visions.
In the folk of Qizhou, there have always been old sayings and legends about the rainbow scales ascending to the sky, if you are lucky enough to meet, the fish and dragon will respond to your needs. In fact, it is just a relief in the hearts of the human race, and the people who succeed in it all rely on their own efforts, and the relationship with the rainbow scaly is really not big.
At this time, Liang Zongli would watch silently, once upon a time, he also had this thought a few times, and it was particularly strong, but no one responded. If at that time, there was such a person, even if it was a fish, who could show up and tell him that his wish would come true, even if it did not come true afterwards, he would not be as uncomfortable and painful as he was later.
After praying, most people will offer some tribute, that is, some hunted wild animals in their hands or fine grains at home, and at this time, Higashino Zhi will be used as a "companion officer" to take it happily, just save a lot of trouble along the way, and don't have to show off their clumsy cooking skills.
Because not long ago, after Liang Zongli ate the roasted pheasant of Higashinozhi once, the blood juice was still very tender and flowed out of her mouth, and since then, Liang Zongli has never let Dongnozhi touch the ingredients. Liang Zongli is actually not very good at cooking, but at least he can eat it when it is cooked, and then slowly reach the point of delicious food, and the small ingredients that the villagers want to come, Liang Zongli actually found that he is also an expert in this area in addition to riding a horse, and he can't help but think, when he returns to Andong City, is it to Wei Yi's restaurant, some errand, thinking about it, he laughed to himself.
Liang Zongli has been very silent and gloomy since he left Wei Worm Island, especially after losing Ah Yun that night, but since he got to know Dong Ye Zhi, he has obviously talked more, which is also due to Dong Ye Zhi's eccentricity, he took the initiative to provoke and stimulate Liang Zongli when he had nothing to do, and gave him the nickname of Wood Liang, just because he looked at a dead fish face, and asked Hong Niang, how is the name.
Hong Niang no longer has to think about it, she can easily talk to Liang Zongli Dong Yezhi with her mouth open, looking at the "flirting and scolding" of the two, Hong Niang has also seen a lot of coastal human races in the process of migration, and even the kind of coquettish scene of private meeting in the middle of the night, I wanted to make fun of the two, but suddenly, a pop sound fell beside me, and it was a fishing spear.
Liang Zongli didn't even find out, and even Higashino Zhi was just as negligent.
Not far from the two of them, on the woods of a certain mountain path, a group of soldiers in yellow armor like breastplates with a bull's head pattern were looking at this side happily.
The man at the head sighed as if he had not just inserted a fish in the river, took out a piece of silver from his bosom and handed it to the person next to him, explaining that if it weren't for a child above, he would definitely succeed.
Liang Zongli immediately rowed to Ah Le and Hong Niang's side, and Higashino Zhi also swam to the side, staring fiercely at the group of rude and arrogant people. In their eyes, it seems that Liang Zongli and others are not worth mentioning at all, after all, our Shi Country, if we say that we will take your Zhensen City, we will take it, and the little Jiang Guo is not in their eyes at all.
The second fishing grass stabbed quickly to this side, obviously facing Liang Zongli's chest. I saw a flash of knife light, Liang Zongli pulled out the tendon file, and the fishing grass that was broken in two fell into the river on the left and right.
The group of people who saw the weapon in Liang Zongli's hand was very surprised, and immediately fell down from the tree and exchanged heads. It is said, could it be that the big man from Wuzhou came to our Zhensen City in person? Others say, looking at the clothes at all, where did the war knife come from? Not to mention ordinary people, even the people of the eight royal families, they may not have that sword, they have seen it with their own eyes, only the royal family guards, can enjoy this admiration, and they can count it on both hands.
While everyone was still talking, they heard a rumbling sound, and some people felt as if something was bumping at their feet, and when they looked down, they couldn't help but shout, it was the head of the captain!
Just now, Liang Zongli asked Higashino Zhi to protect Ah Le, and he had already dodged ashore, and soon deceived the person who made the shot and easily separated his head. Not to mention the tragic and thorny battles that have been experienced one after another in Gaoguo, even in the dustpan village, there is the training of vermilion fish, and later in the south and north of Andong City, several times in the face of the Gao Guo's army of the charge, dealing with these miscellaneous fish, it is simply a knife to kill chickens. I can only blame that person, who is so immortal, dares to try his skills in a joke with Ah Le, so let's try it again in the next life.
Before everyone could recover and regain their strength, Liang Zongli harvested frantically, never giving these people a chance to breathe, and soon, four more people followed, and they didn't know where to wipe the horizontal knife before they died.
The remaining seven or eight people finally retreated to the rear, set up a formation, and looked nervously at Liang Zongli's eyes that seemed to be a little scarlet.
Liang Zongli inserted the thunder halberd into the ground, and the tendon file hit the gun with a burst of sound, everyone only felt uncomfortable for a while, but found that Liang Zongli had already disappeared, and when he reacted, Liang Zongli had already deceived himself from the right side, and pierced the heads of the two people into a bloody pulu with a knife, and then separated the two head melons, according to the nearest person, and another knife was slashed, cut off the waist, and quickly kicked away the two halves with his feet, and the person who raised the knife and axe was easily split in half with the tendon file and the weapon, regardless of the blood on the face, grinning at the corners of his mouth, he continued to rotate his body, dodged several spears that stabbed him, grabbed two in one hand, and after reaching out and stabbing a few times one after another, he didn't care about the two who were not yet angry, and chased the remaining two.
Feeling the treacherous atmosphere here, Hongniang swam restlessly with her body, and Higashino Zhi could clearly feel that Liang Zongli seemed to have become different again, looking obedient and brutal, she was not a hypocritical and benevolent woman, she shot at Ah Le, she deserved to be killed by Liang Zongli, but like this, it still made Higashino Zhi uncomfortable, holding Ah Le's eyes tightly, not letting her look at the bloody scenes.
After killing one person again, the remaining person had already given up resistance, threw down his weapon, and ran to the mountains and forests to the north crying, shouting for help as he ran, there are murderous monsters here!
Liang Zongli, who was covered in blood, was told behind him, "Zhanbi Lake Ao, the stars are rampant; Zhanbi Lake Ao, Green Smoke Xunxun" stopped the bloodthirsty madness, panting and standing in place, the scarlet eyes returned to normal again, and a sneer kept coming from his mind, sneering at Liang Zongli, and reprimanding and rejecting himself in his heart, but now from the inside out, it is completely another self.
Step by step, turn around and pull out the thunder halberd inserted in the ground, Liang Zongli did not argue this time, as this halberd said, he did not deliberately restrain himself this time, but anyone who dares to hurt the people he loves next to him will die tragically in front of him.
Wiping his eyes blurred by blood, he came to the river, and was about to lean over to rinse down, when he heard the rumbling sound of horses' hooves in the north behind him, getting closer and closer.
Liang Zongli wiped his forehead and found that the forests kept falling, and soon, a cavalry team of nearly a thousand people stood in a place less than a hundred feet of his own, and the good woods no longer existed at this time. Those people, the horses they were riding, were obviously different from the war horses they were ridden by the Butterfly Army, not only were they taller and straighter, but they were covered with streamer lines that they saw when they fought with Mu Sidi that day, and there was an indescribable momentum, as if they were the kind of eyes of the king of horses, Liang Zongli was not very interested in those Shiguo miscellaneous things on horseback.
The Shiguo defenders who went out on patrol from Zhensen City and wanted to return to the city after a drill, the unlucky repulsion team was just acting as usual, if it wasn't for the initiative to make trouble, and also ran into Liang Zongli, it could have been reinstated, and then the large army could immediately return to Zhensen City.
Liang Zongli inserted the thunder halberd into the ground again, and waved the tendon file towards the army in front, and in front of the right, a butterfly army dressed in red and white armor, about dozens of people, suddenly went down the river, seeing this situation, they all pulled out the butterfly blades on their waists, and decisively landed on the shore, ranking behind Liang Zongli, staring contemptuously at the weak prey in front of them.
Liang Zongli didn't look behind her, just nodded lightly, and rushed out first, a disparity in the battle, what was the result?
