Chapter 149: Peachwood Sword
Seeing that he couldn't ask anything famous, Xi Yu had to consume another handful, bought a bundle of rope and tied the box around again.
Even so, the boy of the village remained silent about it, and was extraordinarily generous in other matters.
Xi Yu slept until dawn with the sound of scolding.
As soon as the morning dawned, gongs and drums began to beat outside.
The dog ran out at some point, sitting on the mat and looking out in a daze.
"What? Want to get out and see? ”
"Yes!" The dog was busy, and then hesitated, and his two thin hands kept stirring the corners of his clothes, muttering for a long time that he couldn't explain why.
Xi Yu was irritable when he heard this, so he simply waved his hand and led the person to the open space.
There were still those people in the open space, and it was not surprising or uninterested to see Xi Yu leading the child out.
The only thing that will interest them now is the River God Celebration eight days later.
The old beggar was also in the team, and when he saw Xi Yu coming, he squinted and couldn't stop looking.
There were a lot of people, and the two of them couldn't talk well, so they waited until lunch when everyone dispersed before they got together again.
As if he was hungry, he couldn't stop after eating four loaves of bread in a row.
The cloudy eyes kept staring at the dog's egg, and the meaning was unknown.
"Where did you get this peachwood sword?"
The dog shrank and hid behind Xi Yu, and his voice was muffled:
"The peachwood sword was made for me by my grandmother for self-defense."
The old man was silent.
After a long time, he got up and walked to the end of the alley, and then slammed into the big rock there.
Blood gushed out, and the old man's body fell to the ground like catkins.
Qin He raised his foot and wanted to step forward to check the situation, but was stopped by Xi Yu again.
"No, he didn't want to live."
"Sister, am I in trouble?" The dog's eyes fluttered, and tears were about to fall to the ground: "Sure enough, I'm a disaster, I should stay at home." ”
"It's not your fault." Xi Yu's face was gloomy, and he raised his hand to constantly stroke the fleshy face of the dog.
"Alright, let's go out for a walk."
Packed up the old man's things and placed him in place.
Xi Yu followed yesterday's road and led everyone to the river.
The green water of the river was as gloomy and waveless as yesterday, like a pool of stagnant water.
I don't know where the leg bones are going.
"Look over there." Qin He pointed to the top of the mountain in the distance and said, "Go up and have a look?" ”
Xi Yu nodded, and followed everyone up the mountain after circling the river twice.
The mountains are high and the river is at the foot of the mountain.
The villages are scattered along the mountainside.
There are many trees on the mountain, but most of them are withered and yellow, and only the trees at the tip of the mountain are lush and green.
It's like a torn oil painting.
From bleak to prosperous, there are more animals on the road, unlike the bones that can be seen everywhere under the mountain.
The dog always pinched the corners of Xi Yu's clothes, cowering, not knowing what he was afraid of.
Walking to the top of the mountain, Qin He was already tired and collapsed on the big stone on the side to rest.
"No, let's rest for a while."
Xi Yu nodded, standing on the top of the mountain and looking down the mountain.
The mountain is in the shape of a pyramid-like staircase, and because the trees below the mountain only have branches, you can see it clearly.
Every village is lively, and the sound of gongs and drums can be heard even in the mountains.
The top of the mountain was very large, and Gu Qiao was looking at the deep pit behind the stone where Qin He was sitting.
The pit had been turned over, and the soil there was noticeably wetter than it was around.
"Get up!" Gu Qiao seemed to see something, and kept patting Qin He.
Xi Yu leaned over and went to see the stone together.
It is engraved with words.
The font is immature, as if it was carved by a child, and it reminds Xi Yu of the little worm in a trance.
"Secret Base ......"
Four large characters that are crooked occupy a large space, and then a painting is engraved underneath.
Judging from the layout and size of the painting and the black dot on it, it should be the top of this mountain, and the black dot is the big stone where Qin He was sitting before.
Not far from the big stone, a small cross is also engraved.
"What is this? Treasure maps? ”
Gu Qiao's interested hand kept comparing around, and finally settled on the dog Dan who was standing alone.
The dog looked down at his feet.
The peachwood sword in his hand was pinched tightly.
The field was still dug up.
In the middle of the pit, there is a large chest.
When the box saw the light of day again, the dog egg hiding in Xi Yu's arms shook violently, and then shrank even tighter.
There is no lock, and the lid opens as soon as it is lifted, leaking out the mess underneath.
A few shabby clothes and a few small messy toys.
Only one peachwood sword can be called exquisite.
It's the same as the one in the dog's hand.
It's just that there are two yellow symbols pasted on it.
"This is your box?"
Dogan nodded, walked over to the box and looked through everything, and finally settled on the mahogany sword.
He hesitated a few times before reaching out to touch it.
It's like cold water in a hot oil pan.
With a "zila" sound, a puff of white smoke rose from the place where the finger touched the wooden sword.
The dog withdrew his hand sharply, and tears fell on the sword before disappearing.
The two big men who got close to each other were at a loss, and they didn't know what to do for a while, so they could only focus on Xi Yu.
"Don't look at it."
The lid was slammed shut by Xi Yu, and then kicked back into the ground, along with the peachwood sword with the yellow talisman pasted on it.
"What do you want to do with that? Take this. ”
The peach wood sword was stuffed into his arms, and the tears in the corners of the dog's eyes had not yet dried, and he was stunned and held the wooden sword in a daze.
"Gone."
The child is not big, and it is easy to be held in his arms.
All the way down the mountain, the time has passed lunch, and it is afternoon.
Looking from the mountain, the dense crowd of people at the bottom of the mountain rushed to the river, like a swarm of ants.
It's easy to go up the hill and hard to go down.
Qin He claimed that he was too tired to walk just now, and his waist flashed, so everyone walked very slowly.
Lush trees envelop the crowd.
The dog was very quiet, and after crying for a while, he fell asleep with the peachwood sword in his arms.
Stuff the man back into the sword and hang it on his waist.
Without the burden, Xi Yu was a lot lighter.
Walking all the way forward, from time to time you will look at the flowers, trees, small animals and figures hiding behind old trees in the distance.
The figure had been there since they went up the hill.
Now I'm going down the mountain and I've been following.
There are leaves in the way, and you can't see people's faces clearly.
The corners of Xi Yu's mouth lifted lightly, and he slowly walked into the forest.
"What's wrong?" Gu Qiao helped Qin He all the way like a resentful seed, his physical strength and mood were not very good at the moment, and when he saw Xi Yu walking into the forest, he hurriedly pushed Qin He away: "Did you find something?" I'll go with you! ”
After finishing speaking, he turned back and advised:
"You waste can go back and exercise, it's really troublesome, wait for us here."
Qin He wanted to refute, but he was speechless, so he had to endure it silently.
There's no way, you still have to be supported by this annoying spirit when you go down the mountain.
"No, I saw something interesting, it won't be long before you guys are outside."
Gu Qiao's movements froze, and then he retreated to Qin He's side sullenly.
The man seemed to believe Xi Yu's words and hid behind the tree from beginning to end.
Until Xi Yu's long knife was summoned, it suddenly flashed in front of him, and the long knife was also against his throat.
