Volume XVI Han and Tang Dynasty Chapter 1635 Encounter
After hiding in the mountains for a day, Hu Wei also rested almost, and continued to carry Chen Dali down the mountain.
Carrying a man and carrying a woman are completely different, carrying a woman can be more and more energetic, and carrying a man is really more and more tired, many people don't know what the truth is, anyway, that's the case.
"There's a small town in front of you, and hopefully you can find a car there, it's a lot faster. Hu Wei wiped his sweat and said to Chen Dali with a smile.
"I don't know if there will be Li Chenggong's people there. Chen Dali's face showed a hint of worry. Li Chenggong is a person who must be revenged, and he has not found his pursuers until now, which is obviously an abnormal thing.
Hu Wei smiled and said: "This way back will definitely not be so peaceful, but we don't need to worry too much, which road in the world is too peaceful." ”
"It's also, it's just that this way, tired you. Chen Dali spoke with deep apologies. The inability to move his hands and feet is not just a problem of not being able to walk, Chen Dali is not only unable to walk, but also unable to take care of himself when he eats or goes to the toilet.
"We're brothers, don't say anything like that. Hu Wei waved his hand and didn't let Chen Dali say any more. In this world, no one owes anyone, I believe in the same thing, if it were Chen Dali, he would do the same, because they are real brothers in life and death, and they can even pay for each other with their lives, what else can't they do.
The town in front of it has a nice name called Fengshanhua, which is said to have been said a long, long time ago. There is a snow-white flower here, so beautiful that it attracts phoenixes. Whether this is the case or not, no one has ever examined it, this town is beautiful, it is definitely true.
"I've been here before, it was very lively, but I didn't think it would be like this now. Chen Dali sighed. This town is beautiful, but it is very desolate, and all the way through, the doors are closed. The houses were closed, and no one stopped them from entering the town, but no one greeted them.
"It seems that we are not very popular. Hu Wei glanced around and shook his head. This is the fault of war. The war has hurt the people far more than people think. The situation in front of him is already good, and Hu Wei has seen a scene where there is not a single living person in the entire city.
"The people are scared. Chen Dali understands the feelings of the people, because he used to be such a helpless people. If it weren't for the destruction of a good family, he wouldn't have joined the army.
"Hmm. Hu Wei very much agrees with Chen Dali's view. This is also the reason why he has persevered for many years, no matter how hard it is. The only way to eliminate war is war. Only by using force to completely eliminate all hostile forces will war not break out again. Hu Wei only did it a little bit before. It's a pity that Li Chenggong's intervention made Hu Wei's years of hard work come to naught. But Hu Wei will not give up his ideas. The more difficult it is, the more persevering it is, which is an important reason why Hu Wei has survived to this day. Giving up is sometimes not just about giving up, but once you give up, you give up a qiē.
"Let's find a place to live first, and hopefully there will be such a place. "According to Hu Wei's original intention, he was to rest for a day in the town, prepare the carriage and other applications, and then continue on the road. But now it seems that it is not so easy to get a carriage. Along the way, not to mention horses, not even chickens have been seen. Obviously, they were all hidden by the common people. Of course, there is another possibility, which is that they and Ben no longer have these things.
"Will anyone take us in?" Chen Dali was not so confident. When it comes to fighting, he is relatively good, but when it comes to communicating with the common people, he is not so good.
"There must be. Hu Wei replied in the affirmative. No matter what the environment. There will be some mavericks, things that most people are afraid of, they don't necessarily fear, things that most people don't dare to do. They don't necessarily dare to do it. Hu Wei believes that this town is so big, there must be such people.
Walking on the stone road of the town with Chen Dali on his back, Hu Wei was observing the surrounding environment. The sensations of the body told him that there were many eyes secretly watching their whereabouts, and they were a pair of frightened eyes, and Hu Wei had no intention of increasing their fear.
"Huh. As he was walking, Hu Wei's footsteps stopped. What appeared in front of him was a tavern. The tavern is not big, it is rebuilt from an ordinary house, which is not the point, the point is that it is open and is actually in normal business.
In a closed town, there is a tavern that is open, which is somewhat strange, and the timid people will never dare to enter it, but Hu Wei's face shows a smile, because this is the 'different person' he wants to find.
"Could it be Li Chenggong's person. Chen Dali's first thought was danger. If something goes wrong, there must be a demon, and he doesn't think it's a good thing.
"No, it won't. Hu Wei affirmed: "Li Chenggong will definitely not have the heart to do such a thing." ”
Li Chenggong is a sinister person, when his strength is not as good as others, he didn't do anything, after all, he wanted to take refuge in Hu Wei with a humble identity before. And such a person, once he has the strength in his hands, he will never do similar things again, and he can't wait to use the most powerful means to let the whole world know his strength. This kind of thing of making a tavern and waiting for rabbits, he disdains to do.
"Let's meet this special tavern owner. Hu Wei tightened the straps on his body, because there could be a fight at any time, and he tied Chen Dali to himself entirely, so that his hands could be used for battle, and the chances of survival would be much greater.
The actual area of the tavern is slightly larger than what you see outside, and the more it is not much, in the open space in the middle, there are three wooden tables that have a very long history, there are several jars of unopened sisters piled up in the south, and there is a rectangular counter in the north, and an abacus that is much larger than an ordinary abacus is placed on the counter. Hu Wei glanced at it casually, and was a little surprised, the abacus was actually made of iron.
You must know that the smelting technology of the Tianfeng Continent is relatively backward, and most of the metals are used to make weapons and necessary tools, and there is obviously no demand for metal for the abacus, but someone uses all metal to create such a super-large abacus.
"It, could it be ......," Chen Dali wondered, whether it would be a weapon. Although the abacus made of iron did not have a sharp edge, it could also kill if it was knocked on the head. Although Chen Dali is the main guard, he is also a military general. It's natural to think about it in this direction.
"Well, nice taverna. Hu Wei finished speaking, although there was no one in the shop, he could clearly feel that there were a pair of eyes observing them.
Chen Dali has known Hu Wei for many years, and while being interrupted by Hu Wei, he also understood Hu Wei's meaning. There is a way that illness comes from the mouth, and trouble comes from the mouth, and there are some things that you can know in your heart. Speaking out will bring unnecessary trouble to yourself.
"The shopkeeper, the owner. A guest arrived. Hu Wei shouted as he put Chen Dali down. All three tables were empty, and he chose the one closest to the door and sat facing the door, with the counter to his right.
With your right hand against the counter, you can draw your weapon at any time to deal with enemies in that direction, and sit facing the door to observe the situation outside the door at any time. There are many places to pay attention to when walking the rivers and lakes. In wartime, it is necessary to be careful everywhere.
"It's coming. A voice answered Hu Wei.
The sound came from behind the counter, Chen Dali was sitting facing the counter, and he was startled when he heard the voice, because he didn't notice that there was anyone there from the straight door to just now.
There was no surprise on Hu Wei's face, although he hadn't seen the person behind the counter before, but the eyes that were secretly observing him. Coming out of behind the counter.
"The boss is busy. Hu Wei kept a smile on his face. Laughter does not necessarily mean happiness, but it can better communicate with others. Hu Wei came here to get help, not to make enemies.
Some people are not like Hu Wei, they are always wrenching their faces. It's like the whole world owes him. Such a person, even if he has the ability, his development is limited. Because this is a world where people complement each other, and if you can't communicate with people, you can't get what you need.
"Hmm. The tavernkeeper snorted, he was the kind of man with a straight face, like the whole world owed him.
This kind of person with a straight face is the most difficult to deal with, but this is not a problem for Hu Wei. He has seen too many such people, and some of them have experience.
"My companion and I are a little hungry, I don't know what the boss has to eat here?"
"Yes, I just don't know if you dare to eat it. The shopkeeper finally said a whole sentence. His voice was hoarse and a little sharp, like the sound of a knife cutting through glass, rustling, and it was very uncomfortable to listen to.
Chen Dali's brows furrowed, he had never heard such an ugly sound. If a normal person listens to a few more words of such a voice, he will definitely have a headache.
Hu Wei smiled without changing his face: "As long as it can be eaten, I dare to eat it, and I will trouble the boss." ”
Chen Dali may not have heard it, but Hu Wei had already heard it when the boss spoke, his voice was not born like this, it was practiced.
Yes, this is a special way of attacking mental power, which is similar to the stealth ability of the Four Shadows of the Night, and it is a kind of skillful skill that exerts mental power. The difference is that the Four Shadows of the Night are the ability to achieve invisibility by exerting mental power through guò's external attacks, while this shopkeeper can use this method to kill people.
Killing people with his voice, this shopkeeper really did not disappoint Hu Wei, and only such a person can open a store in such an environment. And the purpose of his store here should not be for money, it must not be.
"Wait. The shopkeeper dropped his words and began to get busy.
If he could choose, Chen Dali would definitely not want to eat what such a person made in such a place. Everything here gave him a very bad feeling, and he even doubted that this shop would use human flesh as an ingredient.
The shopkeeper did not leave the sight of Hu and the two, he bent down and took out a tray under the counter, and there were two small plates on the plate. When he walked over, he casually took a jar of wine by the wall.
"Eat. "The sound of the food on the table is a bit loud, but fortunately this table has a lot of history, and it is still quite sturdy.
Chen Dali glanced at the two small plates, which were filled with black wind jerky, and couldn't help but feel a little sick to his stomach. Only then did I think of human flesh, these two dishes of things are really appropriate.
"If the boss is not busy, it is better to sit down and have two drinks, and the wine money will be mine." Hu Wei said when the shopkeeper was about to leave.
The shopkeeper did not reply. But he sat down. It can be regarded as agreeing to Hu Wei's request.
Hu Wei saw that the shopkeeper didn't take the drinking cup or anything, so he directly patted the mud seal of the wine jar, took a sip of the wine jar, and pushed the liquor jar to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper didn't speak, picked up the wine jar and poured a big sip, and then pushed it back to Hu You, who took it and poured it back......
Chen Dali was a little dumbfounded on the side, what is this? How could anyone drink like this? I don't eat food, I don't speak. That's it, you and I pour it one bite at a time.
Fortunately, Chen Dali knew Hu Wei and knew that he must have his reasons for doing this, so he didn't interrupt them, and sat on the side and watched. Looking at what else he could do, he couldn't move his hands and feet, if Hu Wu didn't help him, he could starve to death while watching the table full of vegetables.
A jar of wine is about five catties, and Hu Wei and the shopkeeper take a sip of each other, and it doesn't take a while. The wine jar bottomed out. The shopkeeper drank the last of the wine in one gulp, and threw the empty wine jar out with a flick of his hand.
"Bang dang. "The wine jar smashed on the bluestone street and smashed to pieces.
Hu Wei, Qin Ming, Zhu Daneng, Chen Dali, Hou San, Harrison, Wang Hu, Li Yunxing...... Who are you?" the shopkeeper looked into Hu's worried eyes and said a big name. These people are all powerful figures in the Wind Continent today. He didn't say Avril, because Avril is a woman, and Hu Wei is obviously not a woman.
Hu Wei pointed at Chen Dali and said, "He is Chen Dali." I'm Hu Wei. ”
"Sure enough. The shopkeeper was not surprised by Hu Wei's words, turned around and took another jar of wine, patted open the mud seal, poured a sip, and pushed it to Hu Wei. Said: "This altar is my invitation." ”
Hu Wei took the wine, but instead of pouring it as before, he asked with a smile: "If I guessed correctly, you should be from the Bauhinia Dynasty." ”
"Not bad. The shopkeeper didn't hesitate and replied very cheerfully.
"With your efforts, it's too aggrieved to open a small shop here, so it's better to do it with me. I think you should know that the princess of your Bauhinia Dynasty is my sixth lady, and I will definitely not treat you badly. ”
When the shopkeeper heard Hu Wei's words, he suddenly burst out laughing. The laughter was very strange, and I heard Chen Dali scolding in his heart: The forest is big and there are all kinds of birds.
The shopkeeper laughed for two minutes, then smiled and said, "I, Chu Shu, have been waiting here for thirty years, and finally waited for this sentence, okay, I'll do it with you." ”
Just take one?
Chen Dali is fortunate to have no glasses, and if he does, he will definitely fall sharply. If it weren't for Hu Wei all the time, seeing this qiē happening, Chen Dali couldn't believe it, Hu Wei and this person named Chu Shu were seeing each other for the first time.
It's too easy, isn't it? One said to do it with me, the other said yes, and then two people who have never met before, even if they are a gang?
"Your name is Chu Shu?" Hu Wei didn't pay attention to what Chen Dali was thinking in his heart, he had a strong premonition that the person in front of him would definitely be able to help Han Tang in the future.
Chu Shu nodded and said, "Don't hide it, I call Chu Zhu my sister, and we are sisters and brothers." ”
"Then why have you stayed here all this time, listen to you, you have been here for thirty years and have not left?" Hu Weiqi said.
It is said that Chu Shu knew that Chu Zhu was his sister, and Chu Zhu had been doing the restoration of the country before he married Hu Wei, and he really needed a talent like Chu Shu, so he should also help. But none of them contacted each other, and Chu Zhu never told Hu Wei, she still has such a Tang brother, why is this.
Chu Shu said: "Actually, Sister Chu Zhu didn't know that there was such a Tang brother as me. In my family's records, I should have died thirty years ago. I know you're curious, but I don't know what happened thirty years ago. All I know is that I was brought here by a man who taught me so much and forbade me to leave the town. ”
"You didn't ask him why he did this?"
"I asked, and he just said: When the time comes, someone will come looking for you, and you can go with that person. Now it seems that the person he is talking about is you. ”
In Hu Wei's life, he has seen a lot of strange things, but Chu Shu said this, he had never heard of it before. He could see that what Chu Shu said was the truth, but no matter how it sounded, it sounded like a story.
"Haven't you ever tried to leave?" Hu Wei couldn't help but ask. Because he believes that no one can stay in a place that does not belong to him for thirty years without moving, Chu Shu has the ability to do it, and he knows that the outside world is not peaceful, so he must want to go out and see the outside world.
Chu Shu shook his head and said: "It's useless, I'm banned from Bai, once I leave this town, within ten miles, my whole body will be weak, and if I don't come back immediately, I will die outside." ”
"There is such a thing, then, what about that person?"
