"Whoa... Whoa......"

The heavy rain showed no sign of easing in the middle of the night, and the hill where the three foxes were located was about a mile away from the barren post.

Although the rain screen affected visibility, with the eyesight of the three fox spirits, they could still see a little fire and smoke from the deserted post through the haze.

"I'm, I'm mad! We've been chased away by a bunch of mortals!"

"Ho... The dead old man grabbed me by the tail and almost, almost ...... It scared the hell out of me......"

The fox on the left had palpitations, and the old Lu Tou's knife almost hit it just now, and with the fierce images of the foot merchants just now, if it was hit, it would definitely be hacked to death.

"Hmph, it's all to blame on you two cowards, it's just a group of mortals, a little fierce, but what, with the fox body, you can easily bite them to death, but you all panicked, I really ......"

"Boom...... Click......"

Lightning struck a large tree near the hill.

"Ah..................h

The three foxes screamed upside down and fled in three directions.

Inside the Desert Station, after the previous fight, a group of people were also tired, but the problem of rest was even more sloppy now, so the number of people who kept vigil increased a lot.

Half of the foot merchants were on the night watch, and half of them were resting, and Yin Qing and their side were also sleeping alternately, although the foot merchants told them to watch for them even if they slept, but a few scholars have also grown a little in the end, after all, the heart of defense is indispensable.

When Lei Yusheng woke up in the early morning, there was no sound of rain outside.

"Awake?"

Yin Qing rubbed his eyes and yawned and asked, stood up and moved his hands and feet, and Lin Xinjie, who was sitting next to him, was still lying on the low table and falling asleep.

Lei Yusheng looked at Mo Xiu next to him, Yin Qing and Lin Xinjie should have woken him up in the second half of the night to replace the vigil, but the current situation seems that Yin Qing and Lin Xinjie kept vigil all night, or Yin Qing was alone in the middle of the night.

"Yin Qing, you didn't sleep?"

Yin Qing moved his arm and looked back and smiled.

"I'm in better spirits, so it's okay to sleep less. ”

"That is, this Yin Gongzi also gave us a book at night, talking about some customs and customs in other places, his spirit is good, and his knowledge is also top-notch!"

"Yes, there is indeed learning. "Young and promising. ”

A footman who had already gotten up said a word to Lei Yusheng happily, and some people on the side echoed him.

As the number of people who got up increased, the movement became louder, Lin Xinjie and Mo Xiu were also woken up, and the entire deserted post began to be lively again.

Lao Lutou picked out some fine wood and threw it into the charcoal fire and blew it a few times, then rekindled the fire with the remaining coals, and then set up the pot and began to prepare breakfast.

Each of the four scholars, including the four scholars, was given a bowl of corn gruel with a steamed bun heated by the fire, and a small spoonful of pickles.

Even Lei Yusheng and Lin Xinjie, who are accustomed to eating fine food, also eat with relish, and praise the good craftsmanship of the foot merchants.

After everyone was cleaned up, a group of nearly twenty people finally walked out of the deserted post with baskets and bookcases on their backs.

The mountain seems to have been purified after the rain, the air is fresh and sunny, and it is refreshing to take a few deep breaths outside.

"Let's go, let's go together, this Datong Mountain will only take two days to pass, and a few scholars will also go with us, right?"

Yin Qing and the others looked at each other, and Mo Xiu asked bluntly.

"Two days? I've heard it's going to take seven or eight days. ”

"Hahaha, that's along the post road in the mountains, we have our own familiar road, it is difficult to walk but the road is a lot closer, in the early years, many of the silk fabrics in Wanzhou are like us, carrying a basket to transport around, then there will be no way!"

They had already encountered fox spirits in this mountain, and Yin Qing and the others didn't dare to go by themselves, so when they heard Lao Lutou's suggestion, they naturally agreed immediately.

A group of people walked forward along the post road for about half an hour, and then did not follow the winding direction of the post road, but went directly to the peak, led by the old Lu Tou to the other direction.

To tell the truth, except for Yin Qing, the other three of the four scholars are very cumbersome at this time, even Mo Xiu, who is not from a rich background, is also the same.

Later, some footmen simply put a few bookcases that were not too heavy on their back baskets, and then helped them from time to time to let a few scholars persevere.

Yin Qing didn't let anyone help him from beginning to end, and he was able to maintain good physical strength to keep up with the rhythm of the foot merchants, which also made the men even more impressive.

"Whew... Call... Call... It's finally past the Desert Ridge!"

Turning over a mountain, the old Lu Tou of the team leader was also out of breath, because of the new rain last night, the air was fresh and fresh, but the feet were also muddy, even if he found a place with many rocks to step on, it also took more physical strength than usual.

Looking at the back, they all showed fatigue, and the scholars were even more out of breath like a bellows with a hole.

"Let's rest and rest, you are not allowed to go far, even if you are relieved, someone has to go together!"

"Good. "Oh, rested. ”

"It's a break...", "It's going to fall apart..."

Some people laughed and some complained, and they all found a dry place nearby and sat down.

A crow flew by and let out a burst of "Ah... Ah......".

Lin Xinjie subconsciously muttered.

"Lu Bo, this crow is unlucky, right?"

A man who drank water in a bamboo tube on the side was also happy when he heard this.

"Hahahaha...... You scholar, don't many of you scholars don't believe this? There are so many birds and beasts in the mountains, if you want to hear a crow, you will tremble, so do you want to go, I have heard the cry of a big insect!"

"That is. "This scholar ......"

Hearing the laughter of others, Yin Qing immediately came to his senses.

"Uncle, have you ever heard a tiger roar? What kind of thing, were you afraid at that time, I have a friend who often hears the whistling, saying that he is scared to death every time, is this really the case?"

A few merchants on the side looked at Yin Qing with strange expressions, and the person who was asked also asked a curious rhetorical question.

"Your friend often hears the roar of the tiger, so is he alive or dead?"

"Hahahaha, he's still bold, he's the least daring!"

Thinking of Hu Yun's cowardice, Yin Qing couldn't help laughing, the old turtle had told him before that the fox was scared by himself.

"I heard my friend say that the tiger roar he heard can shake ten miles, and all the birds and beasts in the mountains are running away, uncle, tell me about the tiger roar you heard!"

As soon as he heard Yin Qing say this, others thought that it should be his friend who was bragging.

"The cry of the big insect is really scary, but it's not so exaggerated, we are a dozen foot traders, even if we meet the big worm, most of the beasts don't dare to harm people, and the knife song is not just sung. ”

"Yes, in fact, we heard the cry of a big insect at that moment, and when we came down the mountain, we told Orion that the next day, more than twenty Orions went up the mountain with their fellows to lay traps. ”

Mo Xiu was stunned and said, "Don't you want your life for the sake of Pizi?"

Old Lu Tou smiled and shook his head.

"At that time, the big insect should have wandered in other mountains, no way, it was too close to the two villages over there, it wasn't that the hunters wanted skins, but the old and young families lived at the foot of that mountain, and they couldn't let go!"

"Did you catch the big worm in the end?"

Lei Yusheng was also curious.

"At that time, we had already left in a hurry, and when we went there again, it was a few months later, and it is said that we didn't catch the big worm, and several surrounding villages finally raised money to set up a land temple, and pleaded with the city god temple to the city god, and the old temple Zhu helped preside over the ceremony, and invited a land lord to go back, I told you, it really worked......

It's also an interesting story, which was heard with great interest by a few scholars, and for the first time by a few young people who had only been in the ranks of the traders.

Yin Qing was listening, and suddenly felt an itch in his neck, turned his head to look, and found that a paper crane was landing on his shoulder and pecking him with a small paper beak.

Seeing the paper crane, Yin Qing's face was happy, he reached out to cover his shoulder, and lowered his voice with a side face.

"Little Paper Crane, is Mr. Ji here?"

After thinking for a while, he said.

"I came once, but I didn't come twice. ”

Paper Crane tilted his head to look at Yin Qing and pecked three times on his hand that was covering him.

Yin Qing frowned, and then asked tentatively.

"Been here and gone?"

This time, the paper crane pecked again, and then flapped its wings and flew behind the bushes on one side, Yin Qing saw it and hurriedly followed.

"Hey, Yin Qing, why are you going?"

"Release!"

"Then I'll go with you!"

Mo Xiu was listening to the footman's story, and saw Yin Qing running away alone and hurriedly followed, but Yin Qing ran too fast, and he was obviously pulled away for a long time.

Of course, Yin Qing didn't care about Mo Xiu behind, and kept chasing the paper crane around several bushes and then turned behind the mountain wall on one side, and then Leng Buding was frightened by the things behind him, and let out a "Ah.......

A furry, yellow-colored, gaunt monster stood there, and the crane hovered above it.

"Small, the little god has seen Yin Gongzi!, the little god is this Datong Mountain, the mountain god, Zun, Zun Immortal ......"

"Yin Qing~~~"

Mo Xiu's voice came, Yin Qing looked back, and when he turned back, the monster that claimed to be the mountain god was gone.
