Chapter 7: Horseshoe Mountain
The little guy led the horse, and his face was slightly tired. Mu Yuncheng grabbed him, pretended to be curious and asked, "Where did you get the injury on your body?"
The little guy tilted his head and replied a little unwillingly: "I was accidentally kicked by the horse last night." ”
Mu Yuncheng laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart, your lie is too unlike, so coincidentally Miss Chu's room entered the thief last night, and you fed the horse last night. It happened that the Taiyi dragon pattern injured the thief, so you startled the horse again and let the horse kick and hurt. Where there are so many coincidences, it is clearly sophistry.
"You just have to remember that people are doing it, the sky is watching, there is no shame in stealing things, you can change your mistakes, and you are very good. Mu Yuncheng said a few words to the little guy, which annoyed the little guy, shook his hand and spread the reins of the horse, glared at Mu Yuncheng and walked away, muttering that Mu Yuncheng had something wrong with him, and he was talking to himself about something crazy here.
Mu Yuncheng was about to have a seizure when he saw him behaving like this, but he was stopped by Mo Yiyue, only to hear Mo Yiyue say softly: "There must be evidence to catch the thief, forget it, since you ordered a few words from him, presumably he will not dare to steal again in the future." ”
Mu Yuncheng received a few words of comfort from Mo Yiyue, and he was also relieved, and the two turned over and got on the horse, but it happened that Chu Shuiyu also rode over.
"Rumor, you won't go to Bashu too, right?" Mu Yuncheng hoped to go to Bashu with her.
Chu Shuiyu nodded and said, "Yes." After that, a hint of surprise crossed his eyes and said, "Could it be that you are also ......"
"Exactly, why don't we join us?" Mu Yuncheng was overjoyed and brought the horse closer.
Chu Shuiyu did not answer Mu Yuncheng, but touched the forehead of the horse sitting down, and was silent. Mu Yuncheng saw the good horse she was riding, her eyes were clear, her body was yellow-brown, her hooves were vigorous, and she had a bright yellow soft mane, and she knew that this horse was docile at a glance. It's definitely the type of good horse that Mu Yuncheng loves.
"This horse's name is Ben Lei, and if you can catch up with me, I will walk with you. Chu Shui's words are obviously intended to make things difficult for the two, you must know that Mu Yuncheng and Mo Yiyue's horses are all old horses, and they can't run five hundred miles in a day when they are tired and tired. And Chu Shui's thunder, eight hundred a day, is like idleness. Where can this catch up?
Just when Mu Yuncheng was about to explain it clearly to Chu Shuiyu, she urged to sit down and run to thunder, and a gust of wind swept by Mu Yuncheng's side, and before Mu Yuncheng could react, she was already two miles away.
"I blame you, get these two old horses, and I will be embarrassed in front of the rumors. "As soon as Mu Yuncheng doesn't go well, he will complain about Mo Yiyue.
Mo Yiyue was riding her horse unhurriedly at the moment, and she didn't look back and said, "If you want to catch up with her, follow me safely." ”
"What? can you still take me to fly to chase him?" Mu Yuncheng's words were obviously sarcastic, but Mo Yiyue never got angry with him, and only said lightly: "From now on, when you go out of Yunzhou, you have to bypass Horseshoe Mountain and pass through Leizhou to cross the gorge pass before you can reach Jiangzhou City, the southernmost part of Bashu." However, you can cross the Horseshoe Mountain by taking the small road, without passing through Leizhou, and take the waterway to go straight to Jiangzhou. The latter is naturally a half-day trip than the former. ”
Hearing Mo Yiyue say this, Mu Yuncheng came to the energy again, and praised Mo Yiyue's skillful knowledge of mountains and rivers. Mo Yiyue never did anything about Mu Yuncheng's praise of himself, because with Mu Yuncheng's character, he would never remember what he had just said at the next moment.
The figures of the two of them leaving the inn gradually drifted away, and Mr. Fenglin stood here outside the stable, and saw him with his hands behind his back, and a harrier eagle on his shoulder, looking at the figures of the two in the distance thoughtfully. And in the hands he was carrying, in the palm of one of them, there was a shocking sword mark!
"Go and inform the sect leader that there is a big fish in Shu. The harrier eagle on his shoulder looked at him blankly with the golden lamp-like eyes. Seeing Mr. Fenglin shake his shoulders, the harrier eagle spread its wings and fluttered a few times, and then a long roar flew into the sky.
Horseshoe Mountain is the largest mountain in Leizhou, stretching for more than 600 miles, because the mountain range resembles a horseshoe palm, so it is named Horseshoe Mountain.
Mu Yuncheng followed Mo Yiyue from the trail to the mountain, and as Mo Yiyue said, this horseshoe mountain resembles a horse's hoof, with many twists and turns. After entering the mountain, you need to follow the texture of the mountains and rivers, and after gently turning over the two mountains, you can see a canyon, which leads to another exit of the Horseshoe Mountain - Yunlongdu. After arriving at Yunlongdu, the two of them can take a big boat and go to Jiangzhou.
"The road we are walking on was originally opened by the people on the rivers and lakes to avoid the Horseshoe Mountain bandits. Mo Yiyue walked in front and preached to Mu Yuncheng.
"Since there are thieves in this Horseshoe Mountain, how can they ignore the pedestrians on this road?" Mu Yuncheng didn't understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, he only thought that the thieves were vicious and didn't pay attention to the rules.
"This road is for the people on the road, those who don't know the rules, naturally will not look for this place to walk, if they are caught by bandits elsewhere, I am afraid that they will inevitably be looted, and even cut down with a knife, and throw their corpses into the wilderness. If you don't believe me, I don't need to scare you. If you think I'm not that kind of person, how can I understand this? I'll just say that you know, when you come out to walk the rivers and lakes, you must more or less understand some rules in this regard, otherwise you may become a prisoner and a ghost under the knife one day. When she said this, Mo Yiyue deliberately looked back at Mu Yuncheng's expression, and saw that he stuck out his tongue, and then fell silent.
The mountain trails are desolate and uninhabited, and the wild hemp grass is more than one person tall. The situation on both sides is not very clear, Mu Yuncheng has a novel feeling, and always feels that walking on such a road, it will be like what is written in the book, "I only heard a cannon bang on both sides, and countless thieves came out from both sides, surrounded the two of them in the middle, and shouted, 'Oh, take your life!'"
However, as Mo Yiyue said, there was no one to hinder this journey. At this moment, Mo Yiyue, who was in front, suddenly tightened the reins of the horse and stopped. Mu Yuncheng caught up from behind and stopped behind him, but he was puzzled by his behavior. I saw Mo Yiyue pointing in front of her, and Mu Yuncheng followed it, but the road in front of her was blocked by someone who refused to let her pass.
Seeing this, Mu Yuncheng turned over and dismounted, stepped forward and said, "What kind of boring prank is it?" Saying that, he glanced at Mo Yiyue, meaning to let him push the rejection horse to the side together.
Mo Yiyue did not dismount, but glanced around vigilantly, and suddenly his eyebrows locked, and he shouted at Mu Yuncheng: "Be careful!"
I saw four or five "tigers" running out of the artemisia grass on both sides, which startled Mu Yuncheng, and he hurriedly hid behind Mo Yiyue's horse, staring at these so-called "tigers" with wide eyes.
"This road has been sealed, if you go out of the mountain, find another place!" It turned out that these "tigers" were actually pretended to be tiger skins by the villagers, and seeing that there was no danger, Mu Yuncheng walked out with confidence.
Mo Yiyue turned over and dismounted, and said to those villagers: "It's not a secret, the two of us are approaching along this road, but we have something important to do." Can you make it convenient here and let the two of us go? ”
One of the villagers stood up and said to Mo Yiyue: "It's not that you won't let the two of you go over, there is a tiger trouble in this mountain, and many passers-by have died." The village chief asked a few of me to dress up like this and stop here to prevent passers-by from approaching here. ”
Mo Yiyue nodded when she heard this: "That's the case, it's okay, Yuncheng, let's go back." ”
"Go back?" Mu Yuncheng was a little stunned, and said casually: "I won't go back, this is the way here, and it will take a lot of trouble to turn back." I still have to rush to Jiangzhou before Miss Chu. ”
"Aren't you afraid of tigers?" Mo Yiyue asked again.
"Don't be afraid!" Mu Yuncheng said categorically.
Mo Yiyue shook her head with a wry smile, and said to the villager: "You let me go, and all the consequences will be borne by the two of us." ”
When the villager heard him say this, he didn't care. As soon as he raised his hand, two villagers moved the horse away and let him and the two of them pass.
The two turned around and got on the horse, Mo Yiyue and Mu Yuncheng thanked a few more villagers, and then left.
