Chapter 150: Distrust
Shen Yun didn't trust the Immortal Rune Soldier very much. But, for now, he has no choice.
Anyway, the right is to be a dead horse and a live horse doctor.
"How much silver?"
The smile on the face of the immortal rune soldier guarding the city gate became brighter and brighter: "Not much, our rule here is that we ask for two taels of silver for the road." Little brother, you can go and inquire, several of our brothers in the East City Gate are the most faithful, and they have never received money from people and did not give them services. If you want to know where the creek village is, I will tell you the money. ”
Asking for a way will cost two taels of silver! He also stresses faith and righteousness the most! What is the difference between this and robbery? Oh, people have to smear their faces when they block the road and rob! Shen Yun really couldn't understand him, but he had to take out the silver from his pocket.
Well, they really "paid the most attention to faithfulness", checked the silver, and immediately reported the answer with a smile: "If you hit here, walk straight along the official road for ten miles, and you will see a three-way crossing." You take the dirt road on the left. Follow the dirt road until you reach the bottom of the mountain. Then, head southeast over the mountain. Climb over Mt. Mie and a small river will appear at the foot of the mountain. The village of Creek is just above the river. You go up the river, fifty or sixty miles, and you get there. ”
Seeing that Shen Yun didn't answer, he swore again, "Little brother go and look for it as I say, if you can't find it, just come back and trouble me." I've been guarding the east gate for almost four years. There is no one in the morning market who doesn't recognize me, Chen Sanye. If I'm not on duty, and other brothers are staying here, you just need to ask them about my Sanye Chen, and no matter which one is on duty, they will bring you to me. ”
Shen Yun didn't bother to say anything more to him, so he immediately walked into the city gate, found the nearest restaurant, and bought three catties of steamed buns and one catty of sauced beef. After thinking about it, I found another wine shop, filled a bag of good wine with a cowhide water bladder, and then went out of the city.
Seeing that he was walking away, Chen Sanye, who was standing lazily against the city wall, chuckled, turned around and got into the hole in the city gate five steps away.
There, two brothers, the Great and the Ancient, stood side by side. Behind them is an earthen kang. On the kang, there was an immortal rune soldier lying down. He was knocked unconscious, and his clothes were stripped of all that was a pair of large pants.
Seeing Chen Sanye come in, Gu Da asked, "How is it?"
"I watched him go up to the official road with my own eyes. Chen Sanye smiled, untied the cowhide water bladder on his waist, poured some water on his hand, and wiped it on his face.
In an instant, his face changed drastically, and he was replaced by another face.
It turned out that he was disguised as an ancient Sanyi. And Chen Sanye, who guards the east city gate, is indeed a person, that is, the white strip that has almost been stripped off and lies on the earthen kang.
The three Gu brothers knew that Shen Yun was not easy to fool, and they were not easy to show up, so they had to come up with such a twist and show him the way.
Shen Yun followed the guidance of "Chen Sanye" and walked along the official road for more than ten miles, and really saw a three-way crossing. The one on the left hand side was indeed a dirt road less than four feet wide.
It doesn't seem like a lie.
Well, even now, Shen Yun didn't believe in "Chen Sanye". Without him, it is true, the bad understanding and hostility towards the Immortal Rune Soldiers have gone deep into the bone marrow, and he completely distrusts them.
However, even if it was a lie, he decided to give it a try. Because he had already made a plan in his heart, if he really couldn't find out, he would start from the east gate and look for it along the official road here.
Back then, there was no need for Uncle Hong and the others to lie to him and the Ninth Sister. So, Creek Village definitely exists.
He asked one village after another, and he didn't believe that he couldn't find out!
Shen Yun walked along the dirt road, and saw two small villages on the way. On the pretext of passing by to ask for water, he inquired about Xiaoxi Village from the people at the entrance of the village.
As a result, the answer is still "I don't know".
Shen Yun was a little discouraged. But I thought that according to what Chen Sanye said, this place is still separated from Xiaoxi Village by several mountains and dozens of miles. The mountains are closed, ten miles and have different sounds, so it is very likely that people in this area do not know Xiaoxi Village.
The dirt road winds and goes further on, getting narrower and narrower. The surrounding area gradually lost its population. After walking for almost thirty miles, in the evening, he really saw a continuous mountain line in front of him. It is steep, deep and grassy.
However, judging from his experience, if he wanted to get to the foot of the mountain, he would have to walk at least ten or twenty miles.
Seeing that the sun was about to go down, he had to stop and find a place to spend the night.
Shen Yun was used to sleeping in the wild, so he easily found a place and settled down.
The next morning, when the sun had just risen, he had breakfast, poured cool boiling water into a cowhide bladder, and continued on his way.
After walking for more than an hour, he reached the foot of the mountain.
The situation in the mountains was about the same as he estimated, and there was no road to the mountain. He could only follow his words and climb the mountain in the southeast direction.
As a result, when he climbed to the top of the mountain, he realized that the mountain under his feet was the shortest. Behind the mountain, there is a group of higher mountains. They overlap on top of each other, like a natural barrier. It's no wonder that Creek Village is unknown to people outside.
It seems that it was from such a mountain that Uncle Hong and a few of them were brought out. Shen Yun finally found a sense of déjà vu.
Three mountains, one higher than the other. Shen Yun was not familiar with the situation in the mountains, so he could only head in the southeast direction, opening the road as he walked, which was very laborious.
Finally, when the sun was in the west, he climbed to the top of the third mountain.
Looking down, he saw a small river flowing out of the mountains like a thin ribbon, skirting the foot of the mountain.
That's right. Next, I'm going to go up the river into the mountains. Shen Yun finally breathed a sigh of relief - it seems that what Chen Sanye said is reliable. Maybe you can really find Creek Village this time.
When I think about it this way, the tiredness in my body immediately disappears, and I am full of strength. He almost ran down the hill.
However, even then, he only ran to the bottom of the mountain when it was dark. Because the three mountains are too high, and the terrain in the mountains is complicated, the jungle is dense, and there is no road at all.
The next night, he turned back to the hillside, found a shelter from the wind, and slept out for another night.
On the third day, he hurried early in the morning and walked up the river.
After walking for about forty miles, the surface of the creek had narrowed by two-thirds, and it could not be called a river, but at best a larger stream. Shen Yun finally met someone for the first time.
Well, to be exact, he was stopped by a team of Orions.
In fact, Shen Yun noticed from afar that they were hiding in the forest, and he quietly sandwiched three silver needles between his fingertips, secretly guarding against them.
The three of them hid behind a large rock and stared at Shen Yun for nearly a quarter of an hour. When the latter came closer, Fang appeared with a spear, an iron fork, and a bow and arrows.
The two of them flew out from behind the big stone, intercepting Shen Yun one after the other, and the third person jumped on the big stone, opened his bow and pulled arrows at him, and shouted: "What person!"
"Passers-by, go to Creek Village. Shen Yun was not stage frightened at all, and raised his voice to respond.
"What are you going to do in our Creek Village?" the three of them looked even more defensive.
Shen Yun laughed from the bottom of his heart. Thankfully, I finally found Creek Village.
