Chapter 201: Scorpion Mouth
After Huang Zhang left Langqi City, he reached the Hengyuan Plain by small road, and then passed through the Hengduan Mountains and headed in the direction of Scorpion Pass.
The reason why he went to the mouth of the scorpion was also out of desperation, if Ke Wushu knew that he didn't deceive, he would inevitably put the entire Hengyuan Plain under martial law, and he might not be able to wear it at that time.
Only by walking through the scorpion's mouth, even if Ke Wushu reacted, it was too late to stop it.
As for Wucheng, as long as Bian Huan acts according to the tips he sent him, there will be no problems, and he is absolutely assured of this.
Taking down Wucheng can be regarded as laying a foundation in Tianfu County and finding a bridgehead for the counteroffensive at that time.
And now, Huang Zhang has crossed the mountain road in the Hengduan Mountains with Wu and is about to arrive at the mouth of the scorpion.
Along the way, I saw some fleeing Su people scattered and scattered, and also saw uncared for corpses on the side of the road, people in troubled times are not as good as dogs, and those displaced people encountered robbery on the road, and they almost couldn't get out of the scorpion mouth alive.
But Huang Zhang can't change the status quo in front of him, the country is ruined, and he can only watch these people take heavy steps towards a new world.
"They all say that the scorpion mouth is difficult to walk, master, have you been here?" Huang Zhang asked suddenly.
He glanced at the scorpion mouth in front of him and shook his head, "I haven't been here, but I've walked a lot of worse places than this, but I'm not afraid." ”
"Worse places?" Huang Zhang looked at the scorpion mouth in front of him, a little surprised.
The reason why it is called here is the scorpion mouth, because this road is in a long and narrow rift valley, on both sides of the rift valley are countless extended small ditches, on both sides of the exit of the scorpion mouth to cross the left and right two swamps, from the sky overlooked, like the two pincers of a scorpion, hence the name scorpion mouth.
At this moment, there were already many people gathered in front of the scorpion's mouth, and they didn't go in for a long time.
Huang Zhang and Li Wu saw each other, and they were both a little curious.
Why do these homeless people stay at the intersection instead of hurrying in?
Huang Zhang found an old man who was lingering and asked, "Old man, why don't you go in?" ”
Hearing Huang Zhang's question, the old man hurriedly persuaded: "Young man, you don't know yet, do you?" This scorpion has a beast in its mouth that eats people! ”
"Beasts eat people?" It was the first time Huang Zhang had heard, "What beast?" ”
"I heard that it seems to be a tiger, but I don't know, and now everyone doesn't dare to go in."
"Tiger?"
Hearing the tiger, Huang Zhang was also a little worried, after all, this kind of fierce beast weighing three or four hundred catties at every turn, if he met it, it would be really difficult to deal with.
Just when Huang Zhang inquired about the news, a voice suddenly came from the side.
"I've heard that a convoy has gone in!"
"Who? So brave? The people around him began to talk.
"I heard that it was the young owner of Guhezhuang, and I saw that there was a mark on the carriage, which was the person of Guhezhuang."
"Shall we go in and have a look?"
"I'm going to go to you, I'm not going to die anyway."
"If you don't go in, you'll have to stay until the Year of the Monkey!"
"I've heard that these beasts usually only stay in one place for a week, so I'd better wait a week before leaving for safety."
Listening to their small talk, I didn't get any useful information, Huang Zhang simply didn't listen, and walked directly to the scorpion's mouth with no more.
"Look, there's two people in there!"
"Cut, I don't think I'm going to die."
"Didn't you already tell them that there are man-eating beasts in there? How did you go in again. ”
"They want to die, and no one can stop them."
Huang Zhang also ignored the ridicule of this group of people, and disappeared from everyone's sight not long after.
The scorpion's mouth is full of gravel, the road is bumpy, and the streams that flow from the deep ravines on both sides of the rift valley converge here, but the current is not large, at most it reaches the ankles.
On both sides of the scorpion's mouth, you can also see some white bones, like a feasting place for wild beasts, more like a burial pile.
Walking on this road, Huang Zhang was a little curious about how the young owner of the village who they said before came in by car, this kind of bad road, I'm afraid it is much more comfortable to walk than to take a car!
From noon to evening, the two of them did not see even half a ghost in the mouth of this scorpion, let alone the man-eating beast in their mouth.
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Huang Zhang found a flat place around and began to set up camp.
This is a deep ditch, full of sharp gravel, which is not conducive to walking at night, and it is safest to find a place to rest.
As for food and the like, Huang Zhang had already prepared it very properly, enough for the two of them to get out of the scorpion's mouth.
Just as Huang Zhang was lighting a fire and preparing to boil a pot of water, a faint shout suddenly came from a distance.
Huang Zhang and Liao Wu looked at each other at the same time.
"Someone!" Huang Zhang spoke first.
Without thinking too much, the two immediately ran in the direction of the sound.
It wasn't long before the voice began to grow clearer.
It was a woman's cry for help, accompanied by a faint roar.
It's a beast!
Sure enough, there really are man-eating beasts here.
Huang Zhang and Wu didn't think much about it, one ran towards the woman's voice, and the other ran towards the place of the beast.
When Huang Zhang arrived, he saw a woman in tattered clothes and scars lying on the ground, Huang Zhang stepped forward to probe, fortunately she was still alive, but she fainted temporarily.
She immediately turned the woman over, this flip didn't matter, the clothes in front of the woman had been scraped by the bushes and gravel along the way, and by the moonlight, she could still see the faint spring light inside.
The snow-white skin and this woman's delicate face are really unique.
"Phew! Shameless! ”
Huang Zhang scolded himself, and then stopped thinking about it, picked up the woman directly, and walked in the direction of the camp.
When Huang Zhang returned to the camp, Wu Wu hadn't come back yet, he wasn't worried, if Wu could have an accident, he would die.
But for now, the problem of women has to be dealt with.
But she can be frightened, and the woman has been in a coma since he came back.
After Huang Zhang put her down, he found that his hands were covered in blood.
It turned out that there were many marks on her legs and waist that were scratched by stones, and she couldn't see it clearly at first, but now by the light of the fire, Huang Zhang found that she was still injured.
There is even a blood mark at the base of the thigh, and if you don't treat it, I'm afraid it will affect walking.
Huang Zhang looked around, and didn't care whether men and women could kiss or not, and took out gold sore medicine and a white cloth from his backpack. When you go out, you must prepare medicine, and Huang Zhang has done a very good job of this.
The main thing is that he is often injured, and these drugs he gives himself.
After taking out the medicine, Huang Zhang took off the woman's white pants, revealing only the wrapping pants inside, and then applied gold sore medicine to her wound, and finally used a white cloth to wrap it, and it was done.
It may be that the effect of the gold sore medicine is a bit strong, and when she applied it, the woman frowned.
After taking the medicine, Huang Zhang took another piece of clothing that he was carrying with him and changed it for the woman.
Of course, it is inconvenient to talk about the process of changing clothes, but rest assured, Huang Zhang will never rub oil, let alone pinch it to try the feel.
