Chapter 96: Chicken Coop Mountain
Although Mu Yuncheng and Ye Feiyu's horses are also war horses, they are not as good as the "running thunder" that Chu Shuiyu sat down.
In Mu Yuncheng's previous words, running thunder for a thousand a day is like idleness, and if you don't eat or drink with that horse, you can't catch up with you when you're tired and tired.
Ye Feiyu knew that Chu Shui had eaten sour vinegar, so he quickly whipped the two away. And Mu Yuncheng didn't know why Chu Shui Yu lost his temper again, no matter how he shouted in the back, Chu Shui Yu still didn't look back. In a moment, Chu Shuiyu's figure disappeared in front of him.
"Why is she losing her temper again?" Mu Yuncheng turned his head very innocently and asked Ye Feiyu very puzzled.
But Ye Feiyu raised his eyebrows slightly, and joked at him: "Why don't you ask the 'Fengming' on your waist?"
"......Ask what it does?" Mu Yuncheng suddenly opened his mouth, but said with a disappointed face: "She is so angry again, why does she like to eat other people's vinegar like this." Miss Zhao only made an appointment with me because Shibo made an appointment with me, so she rushed to make a flute and send it to me. I really don't understand, what's there to be angry about. ”
"Idiot, what are you being Miss Chu? I don't know how she cares about someone like you!" Ye Feiyu listened to him muttering endlessly, pointed and scolded him, and then clamped his legs tightly, speeding up to shake him off.
But Mu Yuncheng didn't dare to boast, but this calligraphy and riding skills were a must.
He has a famous horse Teng Shuangqing in Yunzhou at home, and this horse is extremely strong and very difficult to control. And Mu Yuncheng has the ability to communicate with beasts and birds, so he took this horse away on the Temple of the Three-Eyed Horse King in the early years. Chu Shui's "Running Thunder" has to do his best to travel 1,500 a day, while Mu Yuncheng's family's Tengshuangqing 1,000 a day is effortless.
This time, I didn't dare to alarm others when I ran out of my house, so I couldn't ride Teng Shuangqing out.
Seeing that Ye Feiyu wanted to shake himself off, he snorted with his nose and rode his horse to catch up.
Next to a boulder at the foot of Jilong Mountain, Chu Shuiyu had been waiting there for a long time.
Suddenly, there was a long neighing of horses in the distance, and the figures of Mu Yuncheng and Ye Feiyu came into view. The two of them went one after the other, and the horses under the seat ran very happily. The horses of the two are about the same, so it is difficult to distance themselves, but Ye Feiyu, who ran in front of Mu Yuncheng before, has fallen behind at this time.
Mu Yuncheng, who was the first to rush in front of Chu Shuiyu, waved at Chu Shuiyu proudly on the horse, but in exchange for a roll of Chu Shuiyu's eyes.
"Why is it so slow? At this speed, can you still go down the mountain before dark!" she turned her horse's head, and without waiting for Ye Feiyu to catch up, she took another step ahead.
Mu Yuncheng was helpless, so he could only slow down as much as possible and follow behind her. One is that he doesn't want to make her angry again, and the other is to wait for Ye Feiyu to catch up.
After a short time, the three of them had already entered the chicken coop mountain. As Zhao Feibai said, this mountain road is narrow and steep, rugged and difficult to walk. The three of them had to dismount and change from a row to a column. Each led his horse and walked carefully on the mountain road.
"There is also a chicken coop mountain here, but compared to our chicken coop mountain in Yunzhou, it can only be a small chicken coop. The three of them just buried their heads in the road, and the atmosphere was very silent. Mu Yuncheng couldn't bear it, so he gently patted Chu Shui from behind and preached.
Chu Shui didn't want to pay attention to him, but seeing that Mu Yuncheng took the initiative to talk, it was not good to give him a face again. I had to ask lightly: "You also have a chicken coop mountain?"
"yes! Much more than that. Surrounded by mountains, a peak is unique, but beautiful. As soon as Mu Yuncheng talked about the beautiful scenery, his face was filled with a sense of superiority that was slightly different from others.
But Chu Shui Yu was not interested in these at all, so he answered him casually and walked to the front again.
All three of them were leading their horses, and the terrain was narrow and rugged, so they walked very slowly.
Suddenly, the birds in the forest on both sides were startled, and Ye Feiyu, who was behind Mu Yuncheng, suddenly stood in place, glanced back, and said doubtfully: "How do I feel that someone is following us behind?"
When Mu Yuncheng heard this, a chill ran in his heart, and he hurriedly complained to Ye Feiyu and said: "This barren mountain and wild mountain, are you saying this to scare me or bluff the water rumor? I said, why are you so boring? What if you attract bandits because of your crow's mouth?"
"Just kidding, why are you so excited? Bandits, bandits, it's good to really come to bandits, master, I just loosen my bones. But if the bandit doesn't come, Mu Yuncheng, don't blame me for taking you to practice when you arrive!" Ye Feiyu saw that Mu Yuncheng took it seriously, and he was also quite disgusted, and listened to him talk about the thief, so he immediately compared the truth with him.
Mu Yuncheng pursed his lips, and his gaze gradually lowered. Without Mo Yiyue by his side, he did have less confidence to face Ye Feiyu alone.
"Don't make any noise, I see smoke rising in front of me, I guess there are still people in the depths of the forest, let's go and see if we can beg for water." At the speed of the two of you, I'm afraid it will be difficult to go down the mountain today, so it's better to find another place to spend the night before dark, and then go down the mountain early tomorrow. Seeing the two of them arguing in the back, Chu Shuiyu stopped and pointed to a curling flue in front of him.
Mu Yuncheng heard that someone could stay overnight, so he said hello twice in a row, and no longer quarreled with Ye Feiyu, and caught up with Chu Shuiyu and walked towards the depths with her.
The smoke seemed not far away, but the three of them walked for nearly an hour before they could faintly see the house behind the trees.
It was a small thatched house shrouded in the shade of trees, and a small courtyard stretched out, with a small circle of fences crookedly.
"There really is a family. Mu Yuncheng was a little excited, rushed in front of Chu Shuiyu and pushed open the courtyard door, and shouted softly inside: "Is there anyone? We are passing by, and we want to beg for saliva here." ”
After his shout, the wooden door was pushed open from the inside, and an old man came out of it with a crutch.
"Then come in and sit down. The old man rubbed his eyes, looked at the three of them, and beckoned them to come into the house and sit down.
The three of them tied their horses to the fence of the yard and entered the house one by one.
Looking around, Mu Yuncheng really realized for the first time what it means to be a disciple of the four walls.
There was nothing but a broken bed and a blackened stove.
"Sit down. The old man scooped a bowl of water from the jar outside the house and brought it in tremblingly. He handed the water to Mu Yuncheng, turned around and took a bowl.
"Let's do it ourselves. Mu Yuncheng gave his water bowl to Chu Shuiyu, took the water bowl in the old man's hand, and ran out.
"Old man, you live alone in this house?" Chu Shui Yu saw that his family was poor, and he looked very pitiful because of his advanced age. Then he asked, putting the water bowl aside.
The old man slowly sat on the mat on the floor with a cane, looked out of the door and said, "There is also a granddaughter, who will go to the Beishan Cliff to pick fruits at dawn, according to the past, she should have come back a long time ago." So saying, he got up again and went out the door to take a look.
It happened that Mu Yuncheng came in with a bowl, and he also heard the two of them talking outside the door, so he avoided the old man and said with a smile: "This mountain road is difficult to walk, Xu is rushing back, slow down and don't worry." ”
"It's ...... too" The old man turned around slowly, and suddenly shook his head again: "But when she got up early, she said that she was uncomfortable, and I was afraid that she would ......."
"Don't worry about the elderly. In this way, the three of us happen to be going up the mountain, so we will help you look carefully along the way, and after seeing her, we will ask her to come back quickly, so that you will not be in a hurry. Chu Shui Yu then said.
"That's so much appreciated. The old man hurriedly waved at the three of them, but was stopped by Mu Yuncheng, and he just said that it was a gesture.
