Chapter 30: Feng Ling Village
Unlike the general mountain forests, where the shrubs are overgrown and the trees are so dense that it is difficult for humans and beasts to walk, the trees on the wooden house mountain are relatively thick and tall, and it can be said that they are real forests.
Liu Lu, who set off from Ping'an Town early in the morning, arrived at the outskirts of Mushe Mountain half an hour later.
The outer areas are relatively gentle and gentle, covering a wide area, with slightly sparse planting, and most of the residents of Ping'an Town who cut firewood and hunt in this area.
Liu Lu did not stay in the outer area for much, but followed the mountain road all the way to the top of the mountain.
There are no strong beasts in the forest edge area on the periphery of Mushe Mountain, and only a rather ferocious bird, the white-tailed harrier, lives.
When you go up to the mountainside for two hours, there is a large forest of plane trees on the south side of the mountain, and the soil of this forest tends to be yellow, unlike the brown of other places.
Because the plane tree grows relatively fast, most of the plane trees here are relatively thick and tall, and the tree circumference is basically more than two people hugging each other, and the plane tree is not that dense, can not be stored for time, and is not a good building wood, so this forest has not suffered too much felling, and the trees can survive and grow so big.
As for why they didn't use it as firewood, the residents of Ping'an Town would not be reluctant to go far, leaving the dead trees and rotten branches around the town and the edge of the Mushe Mountain, and they went all the way here to cut firewood.
This trip can be said to have no clear purpose, mainly to play, so Liu Lu did not rush to go up the mountain along the way, but stopped and walked, and felt that the interesting places would be more stops, when he arrived at the plane tree woods, Liu Lu already felt a little tired, and it was noon, so he planned to rest in the woods for a while.
Under a thick plane tree, a flat and dry place was chosen, Liu Lu sat on the ground with his buttocks, leaning against the big tree and relaxing his body.
There was no sign of anyone in the woods, only the chirping of birds and insects, and the sound of the wind blowing the leaves.
The plane tree is named after its flowers, which resemble bells.
"I heard that when this plane flower blooms, there will be a lot of long-snouted black monkeys to suck the nectar, and now the leaves have begun to turn yellow, but not a single monkey can see it......"
"I heard that there is still a group of bandits entrenched on this wooden house mountain, but they are cautious along the way, but they don't even have a hair. Besides, this bird place is not a thoroughfare, and most of the robbers in the wilderness are false, and if there is such a stupid bandit, I am afraid that they will starve to death......"
In this woods where the wind is whistling and there are no people, Liu Lu talks a little more.
It's just that when Liu Lu sat limp and sat under the tree looking at the woods in front of him and talking to himself, he didn't notice that there were two strange-looking men hidden in the dense canopy above his head, and he listened to all his words, and was blowing his beard and staring at him at this moment.
One of them had hanging eyes, protruding cheekbones, and two rat-tail whiskers, and the other had a round and large head, a collapsed nose, and a rather dull expression, which did not look very intelligent.
From the time Liu Lu entered the woods, the two of them were just staring boredly from beginning to end, who knew that Liu Lu happened to sit under the tree where they were hiding, if it was just like this, the two of them were not in a hurry to deal with Liu Lu, but Liu Lu's sarcasm just now really annoyed the two.
The man with the rat-tail beard was so angry by Liu Lu's words that his beard jumped and jumped, and his eyes flashed with fine eyes and gestured to the big round head not far away.
The big round head nodded slightly, he just looked a little not very smart, but he was not really stupid, plus the two partners have been working together for a long time and have a good tacit understanding, and the eyes of the companions are naturally the clearest.
I saw that the big round head took out a small silver tube out of nowhere, and carefully blew it on Liu Lu under the tree.
Liu Lu didn't notice the existence of the two from beginning to end, let alone the small actions of the two.
At this time, Liu Lu, who was sitting under the tree, only felt a slight stinging pain in his neck, thinking that he had been bitten by an insect, but he just reached out and patted the "bitten" place, and after touching it with his hand and not feeling anything abnormal, he ignored it.
Seeing that Liu Lu was hit by the cow hair needle, the man with the rat tail beard laughed out loud, and the big round head may be because his face is too big and it is more difficult to laugh, but the corners of his mouth are pulled, the expression on his face has not changed, and his eyes are even more dumbfounded and have no reaction at all.
Liu Lu was startled when he heard this sudden treacherous laughter, got up and quickly left the tree, drew his sword and stared at the canopy and shouted coldly: "Who? Come out. ”
"Hey, hey!"
Since Liu Lu has been hit by the cow hair needle, it doesn't matter if he comes out later or earlier, so the two of them are no longer hiding.
Looking at the two people falling from the tree, Liu Lu was shocked and suspicious, he never thought that there were still two people hidden above his head, but he didn't feel it at all.
What made Liu Lu even more wary was that the two people in front of him who looked quite strange were not only good at hiding, but also extraordinary at a glance.
"You ......"
Ignoring Liu Lu's questioning, the man with the rat-tail beard pointed at Liu Lu with his fingers, "Pour!" ”
Liu Lu realized it later, and after finally understanding, before he could get angry, he tilted his head and fell down, and he didn't have time to struggle at all.
"Hehe, this 'overturned donkey' of the three masters is really getting more and more powerful, and it is directly turned over by the medicine without pain or itching." The man with the rat-tailed beard gently stroked the two whiskers, making them curly and straight, and then circled around Liu Lu, who was lying on the ground, and said in amazement.
"What now?" The man with the big round head said sullenly.
"What to do? Tie it up first, and then send a signal for the brothers to come and pull people. ”
Then the man with the rat-tailed beard clapped his hands, and said to Liu Lu with a wicked smile, "Let me take a look at this little fat sheep first, in addition to this sword, there are any valuable things on his body......"
Liu Lu was in a daze, feeling that his ribs hurt one after another, and after a little bit of recovery, he suddenly understood his situation.
At this moment, he was tied up with five flowers, and he was being strung on a bamboo pole and carried away.
Liu Lu was angry in his heart, which bastard actually carried him with the same method as tying up pigs, and robbery is also a matter of rules.
"Awake?"
Liu Lu turned his head with difficulty, remembering that the sharp-beaked monkey-cheeked bastard in front of him was one of the two who plotted against him, and the other was like a brain idiot, and he also spotted it not far away.
Seeing that the white jade card that the other party had been throwing and playing with was the one he got from Wang Fengye, he suddenly understood that he was afraid that he had been scavenged.
Liu Lu was silent for a while, and said, "I said a few heroes, there is no need to do this with your means, right?" ”
"There's no way, we're stupid, I'm afraid we won't be able to watch you, so we can only be careful."
Liu Lu looked at the person with a ridiculous beard in front of him, the other party's appearance of not being yin or yang really made him angry, but now he was controlled by others, so he could only try his best to pretend to be a gray grandson.
"Hehe, the hero laughed. …… This mountain road is also quite steep, and you are tired of carrying me, so let me down and walk by myself. ”
"It's okay, my two brothers can't do other things, so they have more strength."
Seeing that the other party was smiling and not smiling, Liu Lu was a little angry, but he could only endure it, "We don't need to be so troublesome, what you want, as long as I have it, you can take it." ”
"Don't worry, we won't be polite if you don't say it, we will take everything you have on you."
"Hehe, that's good! In that case, let me go, I'm alone, and I can't get more money if I keep it, and I'll cause you trouble, how bad it is. ”
"Don't be in a hurry, when you come to our brother's territory, you have to let us do our best to be a landlord!"
Looking at the two pinches of hair, Liu Lu became even more angry, thinking that he would pluck him when he had the opportunity.
The other party didn't eat hard and soft, and he didn't want to continue to waste his feelings, so he simply shut up and didn't speak.
The main peak of Mushe Mountain is facing the heavenly peak, and at the top of it is the bifurcation of the mountain head that resembles the word "concave" with two high and one low. The middle hill is the lowest, the east and west hills are higher than the middle one, but the east hill is a little higher than the west hill.
On the west side of the mountain, the top of the mountain is an irregular platform with a radius of nearly 100 zhang, and there is a small wooden village on it.
As soon as Liu Lu was carried up to this mountaintop platform, he saw the words "Fengling Village" engraved on the wooden sign at the entrance, and immediately understood that this place was the den of thieves for these people around him.
What made Liu Lu angry was that these people who carried him up did not loosen his bonds, and even more so, these people did not even take away the bamboo pole that carried him, but stuck the bamboo pole straight into the soil on the edge of the stockade, and stood up like a flagpole, and he was cold on it.
Such a contemptuous and insulting act really made Liu Lu angry, but he had nowhere to vent, and those people didn't pay much attention to him at all.
In desperation, Liu Lu could only look at the small wooden village on the top of the mountain, thinking about whether there was a chance to escape.
The village on the top of the mountain didn't have any walls or anything like that, only a few wooden buildings and wooden houses built in the middle, so Liu Lu looked at it at a glance.
In Liu Lu's eyes, the village looks ordinary, there is nothing unusual, and there are not many people, counting the seven or eight people who carried him up, there are only a dozen people, but everyone is full of personality, and three of them are like fireflies in the dark, which is particularly eye-catching.
These three people, a woman wearing a big flower dress, a beautiful face, and a very prominent female figure, were sitting on the outer railing of the second floor of the only three-story wooden building in the village, dangling her legs and looking at him.
There was also a tall young man of more than seven feet five, with an ordinary appearance and short hair, who was standing in the middle of the courtyard and punching as if no one was there.
The other person is a young man dressed as a restaurant runner, with long hair tied up and sharp eyes, and he is holding a sharp short sword with his sleeves rolled up and carving a wooden statue.
Except for these three people, although the others have their own characteristics, they are not in Liu Lu's eyes.
For a while, no one paid attention to Liu Lu eating wind on the side.
