Chapter 374: Persuading the Robbery of Military Rations (1)
The sudden idea of robbing food made Xiao Wu both excited and apprehensive.
It will be extremely difficult to understand that this move will be implemented, and it is absolutely impossible to do it by yourself and the lonely crane.
"Uncle Su, go outside...... Let's talk"
"Good!"
Uncle Su carried a lantern, and Xiao Wu and Lone Minghe followed closely and walked out of the cave together.
Outside the cave, the sky has completely darkened, there are no stars and moons in the snowy sky, and the cold wind is swishing, which shows the cold of the bones.
The wind-proof lantern was placed on the snow, illuminating a circle of fading white, and the three of them stood in it.
Xiao Wu was the first to speak, "Uncle Su, villagers...... It's hard to get through this way...... this winter".
Uncle Su pulled out a cigarette pouch pot from his waist, loaded a pot of tobacco with one hand skillfully and lit it, stretched out his hand and handed it to Gu Minghe and Xiao Wu, seeing that the two shook their heads, they put it in their mouths and took a sip, sighed, and spit out a puff of green smoke.
"Yes, I'm worried, too, wild creatures in the mountains...... and unreliable robbery, you can't raise ...... With so many mouths, you can only ...... Leave a few ...... It's a few."
"It shouldn't be ...... That's it!"
After listening to Uncle Su's negative words, Xiao Wu absolutely disagreed, thinking that he should not accept his fate and wait for death, and his heart became even more determined to rob the grain.
If you want to take an adventure by yourself, I'm afraid that Big Brother Gu won't leave him alone, but if you really want to drag him down, Xiao Wu still can't bear it, "Big Brother Lone, you still ......."
Gu Minghe looked at Xiao Wu, already understanding her worries and guilt, since she had a great heart of righteousness and kindness in her heart, she should naturally fulfill her, although it would be very dangerous, and the two of them would be easily exposed.
Accumulating good deeds is beneficial to Xiao Wu's practice, but when he thought that even if this move was successful, it would save some people's lives, but it could not avoid hurting some people's lives, and Gu Minghe felt a little distressed for a while.
Facing Xiao Wu's gaze, Gu Minghe hesitated for a moment, knowing that he had no choice but to support, he smiled bitterly and hurriedly interrupted Xiao Wu's words.
"Childe, what do you want to do...... Just do it, my life is Childe's, and I will always accompany Childe."
The two looked at each other affectionately, and a thousand words were in it.
Gu Minghe saw that Xiao Wu's eyes welled up with tears of gratitude and apology, knowing that this adventure, she was ready to die.
Xiao Wu bit her lip, leaned forward to Uncle Su, looked at him with a firm look in her eyes, and said in a low voice, "Since you ...... It's all death, so it's better to ...... Fight hard, you dare to do it...... Is it big?".
From the expressions of Xiao Wu and Gu Minghe just now, Uncle Su had caught the abnormality, and asked word by word: "You guys...... Intend...... What to do?".
Xiao Wu said firmly: "Grab the food!".
Uncle Su's frightened body was excited, and the door suddenly turned an octave higher, realizing the gaffe, he was busy and lowered his voice.
"What?...... They are all soldiers, they have weapons, and we ordinary people are no match for them at all, and now they are like this...... How many can I leave behind, after the beginning of spring, a chance to survive...... That's more, if so...... If you go to grab food, don't even think about living, you can't do it! Besides, those who have been stabbed with a thousand knives are all robbed...... If we rob other villagers' things, isn't it the same as ...... This thing...... You can't do that, you can't!"
The lonely crane suddenly understood that Xiao Wu wanted to kill two birds with one stone.
If you want to save the people in the cave, you will starve to death.
Second, they want to help the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty, take the difficult Cloud Piercing Pass, and cut off their grain and grass, so that they have no intention of sticking to the moat.
This Zhen Xiaowu really dares to think and dare to do! It's really not simple! It is worthy of the soul of his own Xiaowu master.
Since you have decided to accompany her to the end, you will fight side by side with her.
Afraid that Xiao Wu would not express himself clearly and lose the opportunity to lobby Uncle Su, Gu Minghe hurriedly interjected, "If it is...... People don't know, ghosts don't know it...... Steal, you ...... Do you want to do it?".
Uncle Su's head shook like a rattle, and he shook his big hand and retorted, "This, how is it possible? Robbing is an open thing, how can you say it...... As soon as they left the city, there were thirty or forty people, and we had the heart to rob them, but we couldn't rob them. Okay, it's cold outside, let's all go inside."
Seeing that Uncle Su was about to leave, Xiao Wu grabbed his empty sleeve and said firmly, "What I want to rob is from the imperial court...... grain and grass".
When Uncle Su heard this, he trembled all over, took off the lantern he picked up and fell on the snow, his eyes seemed to fall out, he looked up and down Xiao Wu and Lone Crane, and asked in a deep voice.
"Who the hell are you?"
Xiao Wu put down her hand, lowered her eyebrows, and reached out to slowly lift the hat on her head, revealing the branded slave marks.
"The one who suffers, wants to make the same ...... He who suffers, no longer suffers, wants to live...... You can't be afraid."
Holding a cigarette pouch and pointing at Xiao Wu, Uncle Su asked in surprise, "Are you a slave?"
Xiao Wu nodded heavily, "Yes! No matter how humble it is, there are ...... Living ...... rights".
"This ?......"
Xiao Wu squatted on the ground and drew two long lines, the unfavorable cord on her mouth made it difficult for her to explain all the plans in her stomach clearly, she looked up at the lonely crane, and explained in general.
"This is the way to go...... Canyons, set traps...... Overnight, grab food ......"
Immediately understood what Xiao Wu meant, Gu Minghe understood that she wanted to let herself explain, and seeing that Uncle Su frowned and didn't speak, he interjected and analyzed while the iron was hot.
"Forty miles away there is a long, narrow valley through which the grain caravan passes, and the snow there ...... It should have been very deep, ...... in advance A few more traps to make it difficult for the car to move forward and force them to ...... Before Night...... If they can't get out of the valley, they will choose ...... Spend the night under that protruding cliff, and then I will lead the leader and some of the guards away, and Childe and you will rush out, destroy the guards, and carry away some of the grain, and when the snow covers the traces, we will set the rest of the grain and grass on fire, and no one will know, if there is no lack of food?
After hearing this, Uncle Su sighed and shook his head, "It's simple, but it's definitely not feasible, the valley is only sixty miles away from the Cloud Pass, and they will be able to ...... soon." How could we have fought if we rushed to the rescue, not to mention anything else...... Nearly 100 soldiers who are taking charge of grain are talking about soldiers on paper, so don't talk about them anymore."
Xiao Wu thought of the four of them on Monday, knowing that they would definitely come to find them along the way, especially in this place of entry, they would definitely stay and wait for the rabbit, in order to reassure Uncle Su, she began to arrange half-truths.
"Don't worry, we still have ...... ...... on the rivers and lakes Brothers, they're all good hands."
After hearing this, Uncle Su was already a little hesitant, and looked at Xiao Wu, who was not speaking well, and the emotions in his eyes were complicated and changing.
After a while, Uncle Su looked at the lonely crane and suddenly asked: "Lonely hero, no one knows at all, when will ......the grain and grass arrive? That day...... If not, follow the trails we have left behind, and the pursuers will soon find us...... People will die even worse."
Xiao Wu opened her mouth to explain, "Here, against Da Zhou...... The front line, the imperial court did not dare to ...... Cutting off grain and grass, as you said, they are robbing grain, which means that grain and grass are ...... It's gone, the grain and grass...... It's almost here, and it's going to be snowing...... It's delayed, it should be ...... It's been a few days".
Uncle Su asked, "Is this ?...... What about snow?".
The lonely crane smiled, looked at Xiao Wu with doubts in his eyes, and looked at Uncle Su who was full of suspicions.
"Oh, that's right, my master is a master of Taoism, and I have been studying for a few years, and I have calculated ...... These five or six days...... The weather will not be good. Besides, I've had ...... since I was a kid For example, when I observe the geography here, I know that there should be a natural cave in this place, and it should be the bottomless kind, and I am afraid that no one will be able to enter it, uncle, you say...... Is there any?"
Uncle Su suddenly showed a smile, and looked at the lonely crane with admiration in his eyes, "Oh, yes, yes, there is a hole in the col more than ten miles away, and there is no bottom in it, and the perennial yin wind gusts, the old man said, that is where the yin ghost lives, and it is close...... will be sucked away from the soul, let the farther away the better, no one has ever entered. ”
Turning his face to look at Gu Minghe, Xiao Wu's eyes were also full of admiration, it turned out that the big brother Gu next to him was actually an apprentice of a master of Taoism, no wonder he was omnipotent, and he couldn't do it everywhere.
In fact, the reason why the lone crane talks about the cave is that he once went in.
When living in a small wooden house, the lonely crane often went to the Chuanyun Pass to buy food, once saw the valley painted by Xiao Wu in the air, and also entered the bottomless earth cave just mentioned.
One is curiosity, and the other is to find a safe place to rest for Xiao Wu after going down the mountain. The lone crane went into the cave and found that there was a small exit to the cave that led to a more remote mountain, where he had already fallen in love, but had not yet reached it.
Seeing Xiao Wu's adoring gaze lingering on his face, Gu Minghe pursed his lips tightly and held back a smile, a trace of pride crossed his face, and continued to brag to Uncle Su, showing that he was great.
"I've got a way to get in"
Gu Minghe thought that it would cause Uncle Su to be shocked and impressed, but he didn't see such an expression on his face.
Uncle Su took another puff of his cigarette, slowly exhaled a string of smoke rings, and spoke quite mysteriously.
"Actually, I've been in there too, and when I was a kid, I was so bold that I really followed the rope...... I went in to explore, but because the rope was short, I fell straight down. Hehe, fortunately, my life is big, and I am falling into a ...... The roe deer, who had just died, was unharmed. Being held in a hole for two days really made me ...... found the exit, for fear of being scolded by his mother, and came back...... I did have an illness, but I never dared to say it, and I didn't dare to ...... Been there again"
The lonely crane said, "It's all a normal geographical situation, how can there be any yin ghosts?
