Text 12 Leaving the Heavenly Sword Sect

"Cloud Swallowing City, it's a bit far from here, isn't it? Besides, we are familiar with Lanmu City. "Uncle Zhang didn't understand why he wanted to go to Cloud Swallowing City.

"This, Lanmu City is not good," Shen Mo thought for a moment and said, "Lanmu City is dirty and messy. Yes, it's dirty and messy, there are too many tomb robbers here, there are more profiteers, and Niuniu is still young, so she will be affected by these people, so we can't be here. ”

"Will it really affect you? But we're really not familiar with Cloud Swallowing City. Uncle Zhang still hesitated.

"We're serious about doing small business, and it doesn't matter if we're familiar with it or not. And I've heard that the people in Cloud Swallowing City are very generous, and the business is very good. Shen Mo continued to bewitch, in fact, for Cloud Swallowing City, in addition to being able to write those three words, the rest of the situation was also black.

Uncle Zhang's leg bone is broken, and he has been injured for a hundred days, and there will definitely be no way to hunt for a while, and he is not good at doing business, since Shen Mo said that Swallowing Cloud City is good, then go to Swallowing Cloud City.

Half a month later, Shen Mo hid the things that he couldn't take away, said goodbye to the Eagle family, and he carried Uncle Zhang out of the cave on his back. They also didn't have much luggage, a few changes of clothes, and some dry food. These things have been silently placed under the cave in advance.

After crossing the bumpy road in front of the cave, Shen Mo put Uncle Zhang on a very simple car made by himself. In order to absorb the shock, a lot of elastic mulberry wood is placed horizontally on the axle, just like the shock absorption on the axle of the car. The fly in the ointment is the wheel, silently sawed four pieces of log, cut a hole in the middle, and it became a wheel.

Pull the car you made, followed by Niu Niu, push uphill, pull downhill. The sweat and hardships during this period are not enough for outsiders. I started to rush at dawn, and after a lot of effort and a stinky sweat, I finally walked out of the mountain.

Seeing the carriage in the mountain pass, Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. On the way, he saw that the sun was gradually turning west, and he was very worried, afraid that the carriage he had hired could not wait to leave. Originally, he made an appointment with the owner of the car, Wang San, to let him pick them up at the mountain pass at three o'clock in the afternoon, and gave him five coins of silver as a deposit. But I didn't expect that it would take an extra hour to get out of the mountain today.

Put the car away, give Grandpa and Niuniu some water, and walk to the carriage in silence. He felt very strange, why didn't he see Wang San.

"Uh-hmm-hmm-hmph......" Before he approached the carriage, he heard a sound of snoring, and it turned out that Wang San had fallen asleep in the car. Shen Mo was secretly glad that he was asleep, otherwise how could he have the patience to wait for him for more than an hour.

There was still a long way to go, and Shen Mo didn't dare to let him sleep until he woke up naturally, so he stepped forward and patted the wheel gently. As a result, there was no movement, Wang San was sleeping Zhengxiang, so he had no choice but to pat it hard.

"Coming, coming, boss...... , Ouch, little brother, what time do you see what time it is?" Wang San was suddenly awakened, and habitually quickly apologized, and when he saw the silence, he remembered that he had waited for a long time, so he began to complain again. Looking up at the sun, he said unhappily: "It's already afternoon, why aren't you punctual at all?"

"Brother Wang, I'm so sorry, I'm late. As you can see, we are old and small, and the mountain roads are difficult to walk. Wait a while, I'll have to trouble the big brother to go faster. As he spoke, he silently handed over a large piece of smoked wild boar.

Wang San, who was full of complaints, saw a large piece of bacon and immediately smiled: "Big brother is so bright, hurry up and get in the car." Don't worry, I'll be in a hurry and steadily, and I'll be in Cloud Swallowing City before noon tomorrow. ”

helped Uncle Zhang and Niuniu into the carriage, sat silently on the other side, took out some dry food and gave it to Wang San, and handed it to Uncle Zhang and Niuniu, and finally took some dry food for himself.

As a handlebar style, Wang San is not particular, he will eat it for him, and if he eats someone else's, he can save a little.

There are more than 130 miles from here to Swallowing Cloud City, if you start walking before noon, hurry up, and walk a few more steps after dark, it is estimated that you will be able to enter the city. Now they have been delayed by silence, and it is probably impossible to enter the city tonight. However, for Wang San, no matter how he calculates, he will not be able to come back until noon tomorrow. At that point in time, basically no one used the car anymore, and everyone went out or went to relatives in the morning.

Of course, Wang San still wants to come back at the original time, walk more tonight, and be a little earlier tomorrow morning, so that he can rush back in time. However, Wang San was not in such a hurry, and when he passed through a town in the dark, he suggested that Uncle Zhang rest. People are social animals, and when they get acquainted with each other, they begin to take care of each other. Shen Mo and Wang San sat in front, chatting as they walked, and when they heard that Uncle Zhang's leg was injured not long ago, they became more and more cautious when they caught the car. It was also to take care of his leg injury, which is why he suggested resting so early.

As poor people, they don't pay much attention to it, the autumn evenings are not too cold, and they don't live in stores. I found a small temple in the town, but I didn't expect that there were many people in the temple. In fact, when they first entered the town, they felt that there were a lot of people in the town, and they didn't care about it at that time, thinking that there was a big temple fair. Now that they see that there are so many people here, they feel strange. However, when everyone meets each other, it is not easy to ask directly. Besides, more is better than less.

He Niuniu helped the old man out of the carriage, sat down, and ran over to help Wang San untie the horse, and then added grass to feed the horse. After driving for dozens of miles, they were also tired, so they lit a fire, and the four of them gathered around to drink some water and eat some dry food, and then they prepared to sleep.

Shen Mo is young, although he has been on a long journey, he doesn't seem to be so tired from sitting on the wheel, After Uncle Zhang, Wang San and Niuniu have fallen asleep, he still doesn't feel sleepy. At this time, as the night deepened, the whispers of the people next to him slowly came, "Tomorrow's test, you must have no problem, I'm afraid I'm in danger." ”

Turning his head to look over, there were two young men, judging by their clothes, they were also poor. Both of them are only about fourteen or fifteen, but they look very capable, and they don't look like scholars, what are you going to test tomorrow?

"We have been practicing since childhood, although there is no guidance from a famous teacher, but the basic skills are very good, you have to be confident, after all, the recruitment of people from the Heavenly Sword Sect only focuses on qualifications, and does not look at how high the martial arts are. If you follow the level of martial arts, it would be good to recruit students directly through martial arts, so why bother. Xiao Hei, you have to have faith!" said one of the young men with a dark face and thick eyebrows.

"Xiao Feng, what we practice is acrobatic kung fu, and it's not real kung fu, is there really no problem? Anyway, I'm still worried, if only I were like you, I was born with divine power. As long as I show my hand tomorrow, I believe that I will definitely be able to become a core disciple. "Xiao Hei may have wanted to join the Heavenly Sword Sect too much, which is why he is so nervous.

"You're also unique, your flying knife stunt has not been applauded by the audience. Xiao Feng continued to cheer for Xiao Hei.

"Is it okay to sell flying knives?"

"Of course, as long as you can pierce people and stab them to death, it's a good knife!

"Yes, yes, it's just that I've never stabbed anyone, I'm afraid I can't stab anyone. ”

"If you tie someone, you will move (chaos)!"
