Volume 1 Dali Fengyun 03 The fragrance of apricots in the mountains and outside the mountains is still the same, and the drunken awakening seems to be illusory
"What to do with these corpses?" "Seventh Brother" asked.
"We don't need to deal with it, take firewood to support the body, set up an array, and let them kneel to see off the villagers. ”
After speaking, the two of them carried the corpse, and quickly discharged the corpse in formation, and the leader of the armor was placed in the front, bowing his head and kneeling. Li Dashan pulled out a firewood knife from the back of his head, cut off his clothes from his body, and gently wiped off the blood stains on the knife. Taking off the waist card from his waist, he saw that one side was engraved with the word "Duan", Li Dashan thoughtfully, tied the waist card to his waist, and picked up a pair of cloth shoes and put them on his feet at will.
"It's fun now, I'll make it big as soon as I come, hahaha! You're God, I'll poke you a hole too!"
Li Dashan hugged "Seventh Brother",
"Your real name?"
"Seventh Brother" replied calmly,
"Su Qi, the children first called 'Brother Qi', but later found that 'Brother Qi' was more affectionate, so they kept calling it like this. The elders also thought it was so smooth, so they called it 'Seven Boys'. ”
"How old?"
"Two out of twenty. ”
"I'm eleven, two, three, four, or five years older than you. Don't mess up in the face of such a scene, you're a character!"
"It's just a peasant boy. ”
"You will be with me in the future, and you won't be lonely when you think about it!haha!" Li Dashan patted Su Qi on the shoulder with his hand. These shoulders are broad and strong.
"Go find something to eat, let's get on our way when we're full!"
Su Qi tried to squeeze out a smile, ran home and brought out a large bag of food, and the two sat directly in front of the corpse team, munching on it. Su Qi picked out a black turban from the bag and handed it to Li Dashan,
"Put this on your head, at least it won't be more attractive than your mask. ”
Li Dashan laughed and tied his turban diagonally on his head, covering most of his face.
"By the way, tell me about today. ”
Su Qi said with a gloomy expression,
"He Xing'er walked around here and saw a white-armored boy riding a horse coming slowly, this person was fair-skinned and quite handsome. Behind him, there were hundreds of people, all of whom were fierce and unusual. By the way, the group of dead corpses behind them are not worthy of carrying shoes for others, but the methods of torture are extremely ruthless!" Su Qi gritted his teeth and continued,
The boy saw Xing'er's eyes shining, and said a few words to the people around him, and then the two of them came over to drag Xing'er away, saying that they were so beautiful and wanted to have a good time. I fought with one man, but he was very skilled, and with the help of others, he quickly subdued me and tied me to the ground, unable to move at all. Apricot suddenly sat down on the ground, clutching her stomach and screaming. The boy squatted beside him, touching Xing'er's stomach for a while and asking for warmth, and the soldiers laughed. Xing'er was angry, grabbed the stone next to her and smashed it at the white-armored boy. Suddenly his head broke and blood flowed. The boy was furious, snatched a war knife, and stabbed Xing'er directly in the abdomen. Su Qi slowed down, swallowed a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, and continued,
"The villagers came over with hoes and sticks to comment, only to see the boy wave his hand, 'The Wang family is destroyed, everyone has a share in these Diao people, Wang Fugui, people will be handed over to you, look at your means. Then the boy and the hundred and ten riders went straight away. You should be able to think of what happened next. ”
Li Dashan rubbed his temples,
"This group of kneeling people has always been just dogs. Do you remember the child's appearance?"
"I can't forget it when I turn to ashes. ”
"That's a good idea. ”
"Don't be afraid of death. ”
"That's good. ”
The two of them got up together, took the rest of the food, and quietly looked at the empty Green Water Village,
"Let's go. ”
"Let's go. ”
In the afterglow, there was no word all the way. The figures of the two were pulled for a long time, but this time, I am afraid it will be difficult to return. It's hard to go back, and the skull of Lushui Village is turned to ashes. It's hard to go back, where is the end of the world.
When they didn't walk for a long time, there was a sound of horses' hooves in the distance, Li Dashan pulled Su Qi over, and the two hid in the grass. I saw more than a dozen armored sergeants galloping towards the direction of Lushui Village, leading a person with a face full of meat, a scar across his left eye, and fine pigtails flying up and down.
"Can you beat these?" asked Suzie.
"It's difficult, we don't have a weapon in our hands, plus the advantage of war horses, it's okay to fight to the death of three or five horses, but it's not easy to kill them all. If you are not sure that you will completely annihilate your opponent and expose yourself, it will be difficult to continue this journey. Li Dashan closed his eyes and thought for a moment,
"These are much more powerful than those in the village. ”
Su Qi nodded and asked,
"Is there a purpose?"
Li Dashan wrote a word on the ground, and Su Qi immediately understood when he saw it.
"By the way, we still need to inquire about the case of the Wang family's annihilation that the prince said. ”
The two of them glanced at each other, lowered their bodies, and ran towards the farther path. This remote path usually has few pedestrians, it is full of weeds, and occasionally snakes and rats are infested, all of which are picked up by Li Dashan one by one. Qizi also grabbed a few cauliflower snakes, skinned them and tied them around his waist. The two of them said as they walked,
"By the way, Qizi, this nearest market will be there in a few days. ”
"Yunlongzhen, with the two of us, the flat road is one day, and the mountain road is two days. ”
"Find a secluded place to rest tonight, and go to Yunlongzhi tomorrow night. ”
"Won't it be too rushed?"
"This will not arouse more suspicions, this opponent is not ordinary. ”
The seven sons understood, and the two continued to hurry, the moon and stars were scarce, and it was considered that God helped each other, until the mountain road was extremely difficult, and the two stopped. After looking around, I found a cave, which was more than a foot deep, dry and comfortable, and found no trace of wild beasts. Li Dashan found some dry firewood and lit it with a fire breaker, and the light and shadow in the cave suddenly flickered. The temperature difference between the white night in this mountain is very large, and with this fire, this cave is full of warmth. Qizi found a wooden stick, skewered the snake meat, and slowly grilled it next to the fire.
"Seventh son, if you take revenge and we are both not dead, what will you do?"
"I don't know, take one step at a time, I'm afraid that I will die, and I won't be able to take revenge. ”
"When I saw you, I knew I couldn't persuade you, so I didn't say anything. ”
"Thank you, Brother Oyama. ”
"Look at the snake meat. ”
"Bake it a little longer. ”
Between these two men, there is not much need to say, it is this tacit understanding that they are destined to walk a lot together, starting from this tragic day.
Although the snake meat is hard, it is very fragrant to chew, and both of them eat a lot of food, so they are half full. Li Dashan touched his stomach and lay by the fire, but he still had trouble sleeping. He didn't know why he walked this way, why he helped the person around him, why he killed people, why he went to Xiaoshan's house, and why he appeared on the bank of green water. He couldn't figure it out, so he stopped thinking about it, just squinted at the night sky. For some reason, this starry sky is so familiar and so unfamiliar. The seventh son was lying on the other side of the fire, just like the mountain, but with one more look, I don't know if it was a little more desolate. The two were silent all night.
Before dawn, the two of them got up and looked into the distance together. The moon was full in the sky, and the mountain said softly,
"Let's go!"
"Good. ”
The two of them were speechless.
Passing by a wild apricot forest, Qizi was full of thoughts and stood on the spot. It was very cold in the mountains, and at this time there were apricots hanging on the trees. Li Dashan followed an apricot tree is foot, and the few remaining apricots fell one after another, he picked up one, and the apricot was half eaten by the worm, and he took another bite.
"It's quite sweet, and you have to eat something to have strength. After speaking, he picked up a few and threw them at Qizi.
Nanko's eyes were moist, and he let the apricot hit his cheek. He exhaled a long and turbid breath, bent down to pick up the apricots, took a big bite, laughed softly, tears fell from his eyes,
"It's really sweet. ”
After eating apricots, the two of them each carried a bag in their arms and continued on the road. Although the seventh son is not as strong as the mountain, he goes up and down the mountain and the river all the year round, engages in heavy physical labor, and has excellent endurance, trotting all the way. Before they knew it, the two had been running for three hours, and they saw a river from north to south in the distance.
"Brother Dashan, that is the Lujiang River, and if you go south along the river for more than forty miles, you will be Yunlongzhi. You have to go around dozens of miles to walk the mountain road. ”
"I should be able to get there, let's rest here for a while. ”
The two of them took off their clothes, wrung them out vigorously, stood in the stream beside them, drank half of their stomachs, and then stuffed the remaining apricots into their stomachs. The two looked at each other and nodded, and ran towards the river.
There were no passers-by along the way, and if there was a village, both of them also took a detour, so the sunset had been set for a long time when they arrived at Yunlongzhen.
"Brother Dashan, there is a land temple here, I have been here before, it has been abandoned for many years, we will spend the night here tonight, and we will go to the city tomorrow to inquire about it. ”
"Let's go first, but we'll have to go to the tavern, it's easy to get into. ”
"But we don't have the money. ”
"It's fine. ”
The seventh son nodded and walked side by side with Dashan into the ruined temple. There were people at the gate of the temple, and a little beggar saw the two of them, turned around and quickly ran into the temple. The two of them stepped into the door, only to see a fire burning above the main hall, and a dozen or so beggars in tattered clothes sleeping on the ground. I vaguely saw someone hurrying out of the back door, brightly dressed. The beggars stared straight at the two of them, their eyes unkind.
Li Dashan didn't pay any attention to these beggars, and walked around the temple with the seventh son, and the beggars didn't stop them, or even say a word. The temple is in a dilapidated state, most of the roof has collapsed, and the temple walls are leaking everywhere. Li Dashan looked at the little beggar and made a gesture to come over, but the beggar didn't dare to step forward. Li Dashan smiled, looked at the beam, and then laughed inexplicably. When Qizi saw this smile, he felt very strange, and although he was puzzled, he didn't think much about it.
Li Dashan straightened his headscarf and said softly,
"Let's go. ”
"Good. ”
The two turned around and walked out of the temple gate, and a group of beggars behind them were all at a loss.
Across a stone bridge is this small market town, the place is not big, but there are several restaurants, Li Dashan did not look at it and went straight into the "Qingfeng Pavilion", as if a regular customer. The Seventh Son followed him without saying a word. Li Dashan walked directly to a small table by the window and sat down, leaving the shopkeeper behind. Li Dashan opened his mouth and came,
"Two jars of plums, five catties of sauce meat, and a few side dishes with wine. ”
"Alright, guest officer, I'll be right here. Xiao Er nodded.
"Prepare the room again. ”
"Okay, that's for you. "Xiao Er's waist bends lower.
Qizi looked at Li Dashan with a look of surprise, and was stunned by Dashan's casually changing accent,
"Where is your accent, it sounds like a ......" Qizi already knows, this is to show his identity, no wonder this little two also look at it differently.
After a while, the table was full of wine and meat, and the two of them ate meat and drank wine. This plum wine is not high, the taste is sweet and mellow, even the eldest girl can drink half of the altar, Li Dashan picked up the wine jar, touched the eaves of the altar with the seventh son, and opened his mouth to kill half of the jar.
"This plum wine requires the best plums and good wine to have this taste. After finishing the business, let's go to the door of the man's house and get drunk. This Qingfeng Pavilion, although the name is elegant, but there is nothing more outstanding, except for this plum wine, of course. This plum wine is not easy to get drunk, but when drunk, it tastes better than that strong wine, and I like it very much. Li Dashan munched on the sauce meat,
"Hey, it's strange how I knew that. Li Dashan tilted his head. Seeing Xiao Er coming, he asked for a few jars.
When the seventh son saw this posture, he was a little flustered, he usually didn't drink often, even if he occasionally raised a glass, he stopped at the point, and when he saw these many jars, he didn't know how to end it for a while. The mountain opened another jar and drank half of it in one gulp.
"Brother Dashan, we don't have any money, we won't be eating white food today!" Qizi broke out in a cold sweat.
"If it doesn't work, let Xiao Er beat it up, and eat enough first. ”
Li Dashan drank wine, his eyes were slowly a little confused, with joy and melancholy. He quietly looked out the window, although he only had a glance, but there was no lack of tenderness. Qizi knew that there were memories of him, so he just silently picked up the wine jar and took a sip.
The entire lobby was deserted with a few guests sitting scattered. Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the door, and then I saw a big man break into the door, this person was full of beard, wearing a felt hat, a wide-sleeved yellow robe, a few large patches of scars on the robe, a pair of bare feet were full of mud stains, and he walked with great spirits. A six-foot long knife, the cold is pressing. The big man picked the big table in the center of the lobby and sat down, threw the knife, and the knife edge went straight down into the ground for more than three inches. The rest of the diners were restless when they saw this, and two of them got up to pay the bill and slowly withdrew.
"Serve me a good wine, the strongest kind. ”
After the barefoot man walked into a few people one after another, the two of them entered side by side, and at first glance they were people in the martial arts, one person was equipped with two knives at the waist, the top of the gray cloth shoes was shiny, one person held a golden whip, and the red boots were light and veiled, the former was short and fat and smiling, and the latter was graceful and tall and cold. The fat man spoke loudly, which at first glance did not sound like the local language, and the woman covered her mouth and chuckled, which was very moving. The two of them sat on either side of the barefoot man, and the barefoot man was in the shape of horns. Xiao Er moved two large jars of spirits, and as soon as he opened the seal, the lobby was filled with the aroma of wine in an instant.
"Good wine!"
The barefoot man raised the altar and poured it up, and the wine was half in his throat and half sprinkled on his body.
"It's a waste, this hero is really tired, but it's scary. You see that it is such a hot day, and you are not afraid of lice on your head. Li Dashan approached Qizi and whispered, Qizi smiled awkwardly and took a sip of wine.
At this moment, a scholar jumped in and shouted, "Little Er, find a good place for my son-in-law!" ”
Xiao Er went to the door to greet a son, who looked like he was in his thirties, dressed in a water-blue Confucian robe, holding a one-foot folding fan in his hand, with long hair and a shawl, his face was extremely pale, and he couldn't stop covering his mouth and coughing. Xiao Er looked disgusted, and took them to the window position not far from the seven sons of Dashan.
"Hurry up and serve!" the clerk said aloud.
"Got it, got it. Xiao Er was a little impatient and turned to leave.
The scholar poured a glass of wine for the white-faced man, filled his own glass, shouted good wine, and then poured it to himself, without showing any politeness. The white-faced man picked up the glass, sniffed it vigorously, put it to his mouth, took a small sip, and took another sip before the glass left his mouth, until the third sip was finished, and then shook his head in satisfaction. It seemed that he was choked by the drink, and he coughed for a while, and the clerk hurriedly stepped forward to take care of it, and then slowly stopped.
At this time, there were no other guests except for these three tables. The shopkeeper also looked listless, sitting on the stool at the door and dozing.
"That kid surnamed Duan is really arrogant enough, with those hundred and ten people, he dares to run rampant and domineering in Yunlongzhi, hum, he really doesn't take us old people seriously! After messing with him, he slapped his ass and left, leaving a mess behind. I think he came to investigate whether the Wang family's extermination case is fake, and it is true that he came to show off his martial arts!" These words were loud, Xiao Er jumped up in shock, and then he was full of energy, and he couldn't help but cowardly peek at the movement here.
"Fourth brother, that kid molested a good family and killed people in a village, but he also lost a team of dogs, I'm afraid it will be more than worth the loss. The woman in red's voice was crisp.
"That's wrong, Seventh Sister, those dog legs should have died a long time ago, but that kid wouldn't be distressed if he thought about it. The fat man said with a smile, his eyes narrowed into slits.
"This is his Duan family, but when he enters our house, he has to say hello. If you don't say hello, you can turn your house upside down, and put a fire on it, I can't bear it!"
"That big man, don't shout loudly, my son-in-law likes to be quiet. I heard the scholar raise his eyebrows and stand up, pointing to the barefoot man with one hand.
"Hahaha" The barefoot man laughed, picked up the big knife, and instantly ran to the scholar's body, and slashed it down, leaving the scholar dumbfounded. I saw that one of his outstretched nails had been cut off in half, but there was no bleeding. The speed of this great man's body method and the absolute sword method should be difficult to find in the world. He put the knife on the table, sat down next to the white-faced man, put his hand on his shoulder, and said softly,
"This son, accompany you to be quiet and quiet?!"
"No, no, strong man, please take care of yourself, please take care of yourself. The white-faced man's face was even more ugly, the wine glass in his hand was shaking, and his legs were trembling slightly.
"You're welcome, haha, haha. Dahan stood up and patted the white-faced son, who spilled most of the wine in his cup. Then he returned to the table and took another big sip of the wine jar.
The woman in red turned her head and looked at the table of the Seven Sons of the Great Mountain with affection. Li Dashan whispered in the ear of the seventh son,
"It's our turn, and something will happen if we look good, hey, this world. ”
Qizi was still embarrassed.
Qizi's appearance and figure are first-class among men, although his complexion is darker, he is also flawed, not to mention that many women prefer this. Although Li Dashan looks a lot heroic after shaving his beard, the years are not forgiving, after all, he is already thirty, six, seven, or eight, but even if he is twenty years younger, I am afraid that he will not be able to steal the limelight of the seventh son.
Qizi was uncomfortable, so he had to hold up the wine jar to cover his cheeks and look out the window.
Suddenly, the fat man burst out, pointed at the woman in red and scolded,
"You little slut, just said that you recognized me alone, now give the little white face, no, give the little black face a flattering look! Look at me to cut that black face into three!" After speaking, the fat man rushed towards the table of the mountain viciously, and was about to take out the knife with both hands, only to see the golden whip come out, wrapping the fat man's fat waist, and the waist was extremely numerous, "Wow, just test it, you can't help it, and you really fell in love with Nasi!"
The fat man was furious, his stomach straightened, he swung the golden whip, and he had already pulled out his double knives. The woman in red kept whipping, and the fat man couldn't take a step forward. This whip method is extremely powerful, although it is slightly inferior to the blade of the barefoot big knife, but its attack is wide, flexible and changeable, and it is not easy for opponents to get close to it. The fat man was furious and began to wield his double knives, as if he wanted to break the net with the woman in red.
At this time, the barefoot man yelled, "Stop Lao Tzu!"
Then one slash, just one slash, and there is no change in the knife technique. The woman in red swung her golden whip back, and she turned around to unload her strength before slowly retracting the whip. The fat man took off his hand with a knife and flew straight towards the table of the mountain. The scimitar flew quickly, grazing the mountain's forehead and flying out of the window, inserting it into the eyebrows of the street door. A wisp of green silk floated down and fell into the empty jar that had just been drunk. Dashan pretended to be frightened, his hands trembled, and the seventh son also trembled with his hands and feet, and spilled a lot of wine in the cup.
The barefoot man walked up to him with the wine jar in his arms and helped the mountain out. Loud voice,
"These two brothers, my junior brother and sister are short-tempered, which frightened the two of them, and this wine can be regarded as reparation to the two of them!" After speaking, he drank a large sip of wine into his stomach, and handed the jar to Dashan. Dashan made an embarrassed expression, pointed to the small altar on the table, and then pointed to the big altar, and shook his hand. The big man pushed the jar to the mountain's chest, as if to push him down. Dashan had no choice but to lift the altar and take a few sips.
"Hahaha, brother has a good amount of wine!" The big man picked up the wine jar and turned to the seventh son, the seventh son understood, smiled awkwardly, lifted the wine jar and drank.
"Hahaha, this brother also drinks a lot, happy and happy!"
After saying that, he lifted up the altar and drank all the wine in it, only this time most of it fell on his clothes, as if it had rained. The barefoot man wiped his beard with his big hand, threw the altar up, and threw it on the ground, splitting into several pieces in an instant.
Xiao Er saw tears in his eyes, not because he was afraid that the man would not give him money for wine, but because he was afraid that he would make trouble and tear himself in half.
The seven sons of the mountain are very tacit, pointing at each other,
"Drink, drink! Hmm! Come again......"
The two of them didn't drink again, but just picked up the empty jar and drank it. The barefoot man laughed after reading it,
"Xiao Er, these two heroes will be counted on my head for wine and accommodation, and I will help the two of them to rest in the room. After saying that, he threw a big dollar ingot to Xiao Er, and Xiao Er took the silver ingot, and tears fell out. He hurriedly stepped forward, helped the seventh son back to the guest room first, and then came back to lift the mountain.
Li Dashan put his arm around Xiao Er's shoulders and said vigorously,
"Here, do this bowl again!"
Xiao Er smiled bitterly, the big mountain sleeves waved back, and Xiao Er looked down and saw a waist card, engraved with the word "Duan", which was found on the leader of the armor yesterday. Xiao Er's face changed color, and it instantly returned to its original state.
The three people in the middle, the newly opened altar of fine wine, are taking turns to drink. The fat man roared loudly, but he turned a blind eye to the mountain. The white-faced boy by the window in the distance gently finished the last mouthful, opened the folding fan, and looked out the window to reveal himself.
Xiao Er helped Dashan into the room, put him on the bed, extinguished the candle, and retreated lightly. Dashan lay beside the seventh son and whispered,
"I'm not drunk!"
"It's just a little bit worse. ”
"That's good. ”
"Brother Dashan, is this the person in the rivers and lakes?"
"Haha, sort of. ”
"It's like a dream. Those three should be great characters!"
Dashan nodded and shook his head again, but in the darkness, the seventh son did not see it.
"It should be. ”
Dashan turned sideways to face Nanako, fiddling his head with both hands, and the two looked at each other in the dark. The mountain laughed,
"Hmph, that's kind of interesting!"
