Volume 16 Han and Tang Dynasty Chapter 1385 The road is difficult
"You've seen it all. ”
In the Huangfu Teahouse, Hou Baowu and Tang Hun sat head to head, and people who didn't know were afraid that they would mistakenly think that they had some ulterior relationship.
"I guess I can see it clearly. Tang Hun recalled Zhu Xiaoneng's appearance in his heart. In fact, although Zhu Xiaoneng is not as beautiful as Yaya, he is still at the upper middle level. If he hadn't seen Yaya, Tang Hun would definitely think that Zhu Xiaoneng was very beautiful, and after seeing Yaya, he would have a little bit of Wushan's meaning that it was not a cloud.
People are like this, when they haven't seen a good time, they can see everything well. If you look back after seeing a good one, your eyes will pick it out. It's hard to catch the eye again if it's ordinary.
Hou Baowu was satisfied with Tang Hun's answer, he carefully glanced around, and took a small bag and stuffed it into Tang Hun's hand. That action is to have a fight with a professional thief, and it is so fast. It's just that the thief is taking things inside, and he's stuffing things outside.
Tang has only been learning kung fu for a few months, and he is just getting started, and his reaction is not as fast as Hou Baowu's, and he only feels that there is one more thing at hand. Just as I wanted to greet Bao Wu what it was, I heard Hou Bao Wu whispering in my ears.
Hou Baowu asked Tang Hun to quickly put away the things, Tang Hun was a little helpless, but he still did as Hou Baowu requested.
"I said, can you be more natural, make it like a thief, there is nothing, let you do this, make me unnatural. ”
Hou Baowu pressed his head and said, "You think I want to." It's a big deal. ”
Tang Hun snorted: "Isn't it just to check someone." You can just treat him as an ordinary person, and you don't need to be so nervous. ”
Hou Baowu breathed a sigh of relief and said, "I'm relieved to hear you say that." Anyway, I'll leave this matter to you, what to do next, you make your own ideas, I only need the answer, not the process. Of course, the evidence is still needed. ”
Hou Baowu will be like letting go of the big stone in his heart, and the whole person will be relaxed. Although he is almost as tall as Tang Hun, he is still a child, and such an important thing is pressed on him. He really didn't feel like he was even getting out of breath.
Tang Hun said speechlessly: "You don't care about this, no matter what, you have to tell me what the woman's name is, where she lives, etc." ”
Hou Baowu waved his hand and said, "Don't ask me about these, I don't know if you ask me." All the information that can be given to you is in the bag, go back and read it slowly for yourself. There were some gold coins in the bag. It's for you to spend on the road, you don't have to pay attention to the affairs in the army, I will help you get it done. Well, that's pretty much it, is there anything else you don't understand?"
Tang Hun smiled bitterly: "Do you have anything else to sue me?"
Hou Baowu thought for a while and shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Then what else can I ask!"
Back in his military tent, Tang Hun opened the small cloth bag, put the gold coin aside, and took out the information inside. The information is very simple, just one page, and it basically just says Zhu Xiaoneng's name and age. There are also some related things, others can be said to be almost nothing. By the way, there is also a place name - Meigui Town.
That's all there is to it.
Tang Hun cursed secretly in his heart, he didn't know that these materials were all the information that Hongye and the others could give him. Although they suspected Zhu Xiaoneng's life experience, they had never sent anyone to investigate. If it was easy for them to check, they wouldn't have put this job in Tang Hun's hands.
"It doesn't seem like it's going to be easy. ”
Tang Hun closed the information and let out a long breath. In fact, his heart was not as troubled as the expression on his face, and in his opinion, this task was either Hou San or Hu Wei. They gave him the task, which means that he has successfully entered their sight, this time is his real chance, as long as it is good, it is natural to talk about the future. ...,
It's just that there is so little information in hand. How do you check it?
What Tang Hun was really worried about was that he hadn't met Zhu Xiaoneng's mother. I don't even know her name. The only clue is that she lives in Meigui Town, Qingzhou, and should have crossed paths with Zhu Daneng, and gave birth to a daughter, Zhu Xiaoneng.
What Tang Hun wants to confirm now is whether Zhu Xiaoneng is Zhu Daneng's daughter, that is to say, Tang Hun does not have to find out Zhu Daneng's mother, but also knows very well whether she and Zhu Daneng have a relationship, and it must be Zhu Xiaoneng who was born by Zhu Daneng.
One question, think about it, think about it, and get more questions. Tang Hun just thought about it, but he found that the more complicated this matter was, and after thinking about it a few more times, he felt that his head was about to explode.
"I don't want to think about it, once I get to the ground, there will always be a way. ”
Thinking about a headache, Tang Hun simply got into the quilt and let himself sleep well. Just like he said before, isn't it just to check someone, why don't you need to be so nervous.
Early the next morning, Tang Hun did not tell anyone, asked for a horse from the quartermaster and left the barracks. If he could, he really hoped to say goodbye to Yaya, but unfortunately it was just an imagination, Yaya was afraid that he didn't know the news of his departure.
"Goodbye Langtian, I will come back successfully. ”
Tang Hun waved his hand at the city gate, there was no crowd to see off, there were and just soldiers guarding the gate. He told himself in his heart that this kind of thing would not happen every time, and it would definitely not happen again next time.
went on the road alone again, because of the experience of going to the south, Tang Hun walked quite calmly. Different from going to the south, the further you go north, the colder the weather becomes, autumn is almost over, winter is coming, and the road in Qingzhou is not easy to walk.
"It's snowing so much, I'm afraid I won't be able to walk today. ”
Tang Hun glanced at the fluttering snowflakes outside the window. He shook his head helplessly. Langtian is actually not so far from Qingzhou. But the climate between the two places is very different. It also snows on a wave day, but it never lasts for a few days, as if the sky is leaking, and there is no possibility of stopping at all.
"Young man, is there something urgent?" a resident asked casually when he saw Tang Hun helplessly. They are all people who travel from south to north, and it is very common to deal with strangers.
Tang Hun smiled and said: "It's nothing urgent, it's just that I can't move for a few days, and I'm not happy." "He worked as a shopkeeper, and he did the work of dealing with people, and he was no worse than the merchants who came and went from north to south.
The man smiled, "The young man is still in a hurry." But that's a good thing, unlike us old guys, who don't take it very seriously when the sky falls. I want to be like you back then, and I can't wait to go three times a day. You just can't stay in the same place. After walking for so many years and seeing so many things, I realized that it was just floating clouds. ”
Tang Hun listened to the old gentleman's words very interestingly, the heavy snow closed the road and he couldn't walk, so he simply ordered two pots of wine, a plate of peanuts and a plate of meat slices, and chatted with the old gentleman while drinking.
In the gossip, Tang Hun learned that the old gentleman was in the leather business, and often traveled back and forth between Qingzhou and the mainland, especially Qingzhou, which was quite familiar.
"It should be the line of Linmei Forest that should be used to make leather goods. Tang Hun remembered what Qin Ming had said to him about catching snow spirit monkeys.
The old leather merchant glanced at Tang Hun. said: "I didn't expect you to be an expert, I really lost my eyes." ”
I feel that it is a peer, and the face of the old leather dealer is a little not good-looking. Peers have been enemies since ancient times, and it is difficult to be friends if they have a relationship, even if they are friends, they will become strangers because of interests.
Tang Hun hurriedly shook his head and said: "No, no, old man, I am not a leather goods, but the elders in the family have mentioned Linmei Forest before, and I just remember it." ”...,
"I see. The old furrier was relieved. In fact, he is not such a stingy person. He just felt that Tang Hun had deceived him and didn't tell him the truth.
"Sir, tell me about Linmei Forest. ”
"Linmei Forest is not a good place, there is snow all year round......"
The old leather merchant's description of Lin Mei Forest was much more terrifying than what Qin Ming said. Because a lot of danger is not much in Qin Ming's eyes. In the eyes of ordinary people, it is already terrible.
"In this way, the snow monkey is very difficult to catch. Tang Hun sighed.
"It's not just hard to catch. Unless it is a large force, there is almost no chance of catching it. Even if there is a large army entering, it may not be able to succeed, and Lin Mei Forest killed 1,800 people in the cold, it is really like playing......"
Chatting with the old leather merchants, Tang Hun really gained a lot of knowledge. Not only did I know the danger of Linmei Forest, but I also had a general understanding of the weather in Qingzhou. Meigui Town is the town that must be passed through to Linmei Forest, Tang Hun wanted to propose to go with the old leather merchant, but remembering the attitude of the leather dealer who mistakenly thought he was a peer, he didn't mention it, anyway, going to Linmei Forest is just such a road, there should be no possibility of going the wrong way.
"What bad luck!"
Tang Hun will regret it a little, and he followed the old leather merchant with a dead face. He thought that if he went over this way, it would be a road anyway, and he wouldn't go wrong. He and Ben didn't expect other problems to happen. Because he had no experience in riding horses in the snow, he only left the inn thirty or forty miles today, and he lost his horse and kicked it forward, and he fell out of the way as soon as he changed his head, and the horse broke his leg.
This road is usually very few people come and go, it has only been snowing for a few days, I am afraid that in addition to the merchants who come and go, basically no one goes, and the old leather merchant does not know if he will set off to Linmei Forest today.
Looking at the horse that was so painful that he couldn't even stand up, Tang Hun knew that there was no possibility of riding it again. The reverse is even more impossible, Tang Hun does not have the ability to carry the horse forward.
Sold it?
This will be sold to the ghost.
Waiting in place?
Tang Hun didn't dare to take such a risk, if the old leather merchant didn't set off today and spent the night in this snow, there would be one more ice sculpture here tomorrow.
The current situation really puts Tang Hun in a dilemma. According to his original plan, he should have traveled seventy miles today. Spend the night in the town ahead. Now the horses can't walk, and the road is only halfway through, so it's really hard to move forward and retreat.
"Ma'er, I can only be sorry for you this time. After thinking about it for a while, Tang Hun decided to move on, and if he retreated, he would have to walk this road again, Tang Hun was not very willing to see this horse cold dead in the middle of the road when he passed by here tomorrow.
The horse seemed to know what Tang Hun meant, and he stopped screaming after a few sad neighings. It is a horse that has been on the battlefield, and like a man, it has already looked down on life and death. It knew that Tang Hun couldn't help it, and it was useless to call it again.
Death must also die with backbone, whether it is a man or a horse, it is the same.
Softly said goodbye to the horse in his heart. Tang Hun knew that it was real and would never be seen again. Unloading the burden from the horse and carrying it on his back, Tang Hun moved forward with one shallow foot.
Tang Hun didn't think it was riding on horseback before, but now he has to walk on two feet, so he really knows how difficult this road is.
"Whew!"
Ten miles out, Tang Hun was all soft. He still overestimated his body, he thought that he could walk more than 30 miles, but now it seems that there is no such possibility.
"Am I going to die here?"
There is no head in front of the snow road, and there is no end in sight, and the sky has no such ability, so you can only bury yourself in the ground. Tang Hun has not yet been to Linmei Forest. I have already experienced the horror of the bitter cold. ...,
"Hey, what's that? a family?"
Just when Tang Hun felt desperate, he accidentally noticed a little green in the snow in the distance, which looked like a house from a distance.
"Hopefully you're not mistaken!"
Tang Hun cheered himself up in his heart, even if he didn't have the strength anymore, he had to stand there. If you can get there, you may still be able to live, but if you can't get there, you will definitely not be able to live.
The bone-chilling cold wind blew on Tang Hun's face like a knife, and his hands and feet were completely unconscious. Tang Hun bit tightly and walked forward step by step. His eyes were fixed on what looked like a house.
It was really a room, and when Tang Hun affirmed the time of discovery, he finally had a smile on his face, and he seemed to have a little more strength on his body.
With a little more strength, I got closer and closer. The smile on Tang Hun's face became less and less. It was a room, but it didn't look like it was inhabited. Looks. It has been abandoned, and it stands there so alone.
"It's a room, anyway. ”
Tang Hun comforted himself, he could have tiles on his head, at least he didn't have to die in the snow at night. Gritting his teeth, with the last force he could muster, Tang Hun finally came to the front of the house.
The doors were already frozen, and it took Tang Hun a lot of effort to open the door. Not bad, the situation in the house was better than expected, there was a stove and a pot, there was a bed although there was no quilt, and most importantly there was a tile on the head, and a door that was very broken but still very loyal.
Lighting a broken chair, the fire brought warmth to Tang Hun, and Tang Hun sat by the fire so comfortably that he really didn't want to move.
After resting for half an hour, Tang Hun stood up, first made sure that the house would not fall in the wind and snow, and could really stay overnight, then he took out the marching pot, got some clean snow, put the dry food in, and prepared dinner for himself.
Today is really long, Tang Hun has walked in the snow for nearly ten hours from going out in the morning to now, during which he only ate some hard cakes, and he can stick to this point in one go, which is almost beyond Tang Hun's limit. Tang Hun didn't know if he could successfully get to this place if he came again, and it was a little difficult to think about it.
The water was gurgling, and the aroma of the food made Tang Hun's already numb nerves finally feel it again. Almost with a robbery, Tang Hun grabbed the marching pot and took a sip carefully, the warmth and humidity went up and down, until the stomach and then to the limbs, it was so refreshing that he wanted to moan.
"Ding!"
Just when Tang Hun was about to enjoy a bite, the sound of metal striking came to his ears. Although he had never been on the battlefield, he was keenly aware of the sound of weapons colliding.
"It's not that back. I didn't want to see anyone before, so there will be several of them at once?"
Tang Hun leaned on the crack of the door and glanced out, and the result he saw was that he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. As far as the eye could see, there were four figures, but in fact, three of them were supposed to be in a group, and they were chasing and killing the other together. And the direction they are walking while fighting is exactly this way.
Is it to hide, or to welcome?
Tang Hun really hated himself a little bit for why he had studied kung fu for so long, and he still didn't have much momentum. If you have Qin Ming's kung fu, you don't need to think so much, just continue to enjoy your dinner. It doesn't matter if they come or not, whoever cuts whom, it has nothing to do with him.
It's impossible to hide, there is only one room here, and if you leave here, you have to die of cold, Tang Hun is not willing to do that. Besides, why, what else came first and then came.
The more I thought about it, the more unhappy I became, anyway, I would die if I hid, and Tang Hun simply didn't hide. Grab the pot again, and finish the food before they arrive.
While Tang Hun was eating, the fight over there continued. Three against one should be considered a numerical advantage, but the side of the trio has not been able to gain a formal advantage, but the one who is one against three is more powerful, and one person will have been cut to the ground by him.
After Tang Hun finished eating, he put away the pot and lay there to watch. He has also seen a lot of group fights, and he has really not seen a few times when he really hacked people to death, and this is what is happening in front of his eyes, and he should still be concerned.
The one who was one against three finally won the victory. He was walking towards the house. Behind him were fallen corpses, three, no less than one!
