Chapter 25: Are You in Trouble?
Yingzhou, located in the north of the Huai River, has a flat terrain, rivers and rivers, four distinct seasons, and picturesque scenery.
Sun Yihe and Huang Dong came all the way, it can be said that there are thieves in the mountains and hidden thieves in the mountains, but only after arriving in Yingzhou, they are considered to be peaceful and have not encountered anything.
Of course, there's a reason for that......
Because the "Feng Manlou" of the four masters of the imperial court's "Wind and Clouds" is stationed in Yingzhou Wei on weekdays; other places dare not say that in Yingzhou City alone, people can still cover it, even if the first-class masters in the rivers and lakes come here, they will never dare to make a mistake, let alone those second- and third-rate thieves.
Sun Huang and the two rested in Yingzhou for three days, slept for five hours every day, and when they got up, they ate steamed buns, drank and drank sazi soup, and properly practiced and practiced activities to move their muscles and bones.
Three days later, both men and horses had relieved a lot of the fatigue they had accumulated from the previous journey, so on the fourth day, the two of them rode back on the road.
Coming out of Yingzhou City and going to the northwest, it was generally uphill, which should have been a difficult trip, but because they let the horses rest for three days, it was not too laborious, and basically they could arrive at the post station before dusk every day.
In this way, they traveled for a few more days, and after passing two counties along the official road, they arrived at Zhoukou.
From Luzhou to here, by our standards, it takes less than five hours to reach it by highway.
But in that year, the hardships of the road, coupled with the various things encountered in the middle and the necessary rest time, the two of them walked back and forth for more than ten days, which was indeed not easy.
The two horses that Master Zeng gave me are used here...... That's pretty much it, they have to let them recuperate for a while before they can run long distances again, so after arriving in Zhoukou, Sun Yihuan went to find a horse dealer, bargained, and exchanged two horses with the other party to come back.
The new horse that was exchanged for it was full of energy and had been recuperating for a long time, and there should be no need to change it from here to Luoyang.
Now, Huang Donglai and Sun Yihuan obviously don't plan to take the high-speed rail gang's van anymore; after all, they have all come here, and it is also a kind of experience to take a walk along the way.
From Zhoukou, the next stop is Xuzhou, which is known as Xuchang.
When I arrived in Xuzhou, it was not far from Luoyang.
Counting the days, if everything goes well, the two should be able to arrive about half a month early.
Of course, if there is a delay in something else, it will be difficult to say...... In those days, the pace of life was so slow that it could take hours for you to get things out with a phone call or a message today, and you could run eight places and do eight things a day while driving a car, following a navigation, walking on a smooth road...... As for the ancients, it was already efficient to be able to do two things in one day.
This is also why, when people traveled far away, if there was something important, they usually had to set off ten and a half days in advance of the calculated schedule.
Sun Yihe and Huang Donglai came out early this time, otherwise they really wouldn't have so much effort to meddle on the road......
............
Let's say that Sun and Huang went out of Zhoukou and marched along the road on the bank of Yingshui.
This road, from the north bank of the Yinghe River, can look at the peaks on the other side, which is also unique.
That night, the two were looking for a place to stay in a village, there was an inn in this village, but unfortunately there were not many guest rooms, of course, it didn't matter if they were both men sleeping in one room.
After guessing the boxing and winning the game, the "spring hand" Sun Yihuan successfully obtained the ownership of the bed, while Huang Donglai could only scold the street and hit the floor.
Half-night without words until the early hours of the morning......
Hiss - Hiss –
Outside the window of the guest room, there was a strange noise.
Sun and Huang heard and woke up at the same time almost at the same time, and their reactions were also the same—they suddenly opened their eyes, sat up softly, turned their heads to look, and then stretched their heads towards their brothers, lowered their voices and said, "Did you hear that?"
"I heard ......," Huang Donglai continued, "and I don't think it's like a rumor......"
"Nonsense. Sun Yi said humorously, "Outside the door is the corridor of the inn, where does the wind come from." ”
"Otherwise......" Huang Donglai said, "Brother Sun, go over and take a look, I'll cover you with a hidden weapon here." ”
"Mao!" Sun Yi said humorously, "I'm not going." ”
"Are you scared?" Huang Donglai began to use the agitation method.
"Who said that?" Sun Yixiang wanted to save face, and sure enough, he was in the trap and said stiffly, "What am I afraid of? Lao Tzu is like breathing in the face of danger." ”
"Then why don't you go?" said Huang Donglai.
"I ......" Sun Yihuan didn't come up with a suitable excuse for a while.
"Brother Sun, are you in trouble?" Huang Donglai hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled weirdly.
"I don't have a problem! I have a problem?" Sun Yihuan said, suddenly thinking of something, and quickly asked, "Why don't you go yourself?"
"I'm in trouble. Huang Donglai put on the attitude that the dead turtle was not afraid of boiling water, and replied, "I have a bad heart, what if something terrible scares me to death?"
"You ......" Sun Yihuan has already begun to regret his pretending remarks just now, obviously pretending to be a turtle like the other party is fine, he has to fight to the death, resulting in a bit difficult to ride a tiger now, "Damn a chicken...... Just go!"
The two finished the above conversation in a very low voice, and then, Sun Yixiang tiptoed off the bed, picked up the trident leaning against the wall, and looked down at the talisman armor he was wearing (with his character, he would not take it off when he was sleeping), swallowed his saliva, and walked towards the door step by step......
Hiss Blah ......
And in just two minutes, the sound outside the door not only did not stop, but also became louder and faster, and it seemed that it was coming for Sun Huang and the others.
At the same time that Sun Yihuan walked to the door, Huang Donglai behind him was not idle, Huang Donglai also got up from the ground, came to the angle behind Sun Yihuan's side, pinched the two hidden weapons in his hands, and was ready to support at any time.
Neither of them was stupid, and they didn't plan to light the lamp at all, because lighting the lamp at this time was obviously more detrimental to them.
......After a few seconds, Sun Yihui finally came to the door, he took a deep breath, and then plucked up the courage, opened the latch, and stretched out his hand to pull the door in.
Babble—
The old doorway let out a shrill moan.
Then, the door opened.
Sun Yitong took two steps back and held a halberd, but found that he was ...... There was no one outside the door, only an empty hallway, and a white wall on the opposite side of the hallway.
The strange sound also stopped abruptly when the door was opened.
But Sun Yihuan did not relax his tense nerves, he held his breath, looked at the dark corridor, and listened attentively.
Soon, he heard......
Tuk, tuk, tuk......
There was a slight noise on the floor outside the door—the sound of water dripping onto the ground.
Just as Sun Yihuan reacted and raised his head......
Suddenly, a clump of long, black, wet hair hung down from above the door, and the source of the hair was an upside-down, pale human face.
"Ahh
"Ahh
Originally, in terms of atmosphere and picture, this scene was scary enough, coupled with the startled scream of that face, everyone had to jump up in fright.
And Sun Yihuan did jump up, only to see ...... He threw the trident in his hand in fright, and instinctively covered the cheeks on both sides of him with both hands, and in an instant perfectly coaxed the shape of Van Gogh's "The Scream...... Then, taking a few steps back, he tripped over the edge of the bed and fell to the bed.
Not to mention Sun Yi, who met the "ghost" head-on, even if he saw Huang Donglai who had a "grimace" behind him, he was stunned for a while.
However, after seeing Sun Yihuan's exaggerated reaction that made people want to laugh, Huang Donglai immediately came back to his senses, and threw the hidden weapon in his hand with two swishs.
It's a pity that the one outside the door has been prepared, and before the hidden weapon arrives, she has already put her head back.
Ping Pong Ping Pong ......
Immediately afterward, Huang Donglai heard a very obvious sound of foot tiles coming from the roof. He just wanted to chase it, but then he thought it was wrong, no matter how he looked at it, it was a bit like a trap to lure the enemy.
Just when Huang Donglai hesitated, the other side ...... Sun Yihuan, who had just come back to his senses and was a little annoyed and angry, was already angry and angry...... He picked up his trident again, stood on the couch, and stabbed it straight at the place where the sound came from on the roof......
The inn in this village, the thatched hut is broken, and the weapon in Sun Yihuan's hand is a treasure like clay, and his stab is like stabbing the window paper with a knife, and the trident has almost no resistance when it penetrates the roof to attack.
The one on the roof also didn't expect to be "attacked through the wall", and with a carelessness, the entire surface of his left foot was stabbed in pairs.
Originally, she wanted to lure the two of them to the top, and use the "Flowing Silk Soul Breaking Array" she had laid in advance to plot against them in an open place, but this is a good thing, but she was injured quite tricky before she could do it...... Helpless, she could only run away quickly, lest the other party really chase it out and end badly.
But Sun Yihuan didn't know what the other party thought, he only knew that there was blood on the tip of the trident after his first stab, which meant that the attack was effective, so he stabbed seven or eight times in a row.
When Huang Donglai realized something and tried to stop Brother Sun...... It's too late.
With the sound of tiles falling to the ground, the roof collapsed.
