21. The Lancet
At this time, Ruhatu walked in and reported that several more horses had fallen ill, and Li Da said, "Got it, go down." ”
Li Xian heard someone inform Lu Hatu's name just now, and his heart moved, and then he suddenly had an inspiration and asked, "Lord Zhong, what are the characters of this person's Chinese name?"
As soon as the words came out, everyone instantly understood that Guan Mendong was a picture word, and the smile was a Ha word, and Li Da shouted: "Let Lu Hatu come back." ”
Ruhatu hurriedly ran in again and bowed down to obey the order.
Li Da said to Chen Lu: "It should be on this person, what do you need, ask." ”
Although Li Da knew that Chen Lu was looking for this person, as for what to do, the people in the house didn't know.
Chen Lu was happy and asked Lu Hatu: "Have you brought all your tools?"
Lu Hatu's face was full of doubts, how could this deputy envoy be interested in the work of plowing pigs and geldings? ”
Chen Lu said: "Don't look at my old man like that, I won't rob you of your job, go and go back quickly." ”
Everyone laughed, and Li Da pointed at Chen Lu and smiled. Lu Hatu walked out suspiciously, and deliberately glanced at everyone boldly, trying to find out the answer from the adults, but they were the same as Lu Hatu, with the word "confused" written on their faces.
After a while, Ruhatu walked in with one of Li Da's personal soldiers. Everyone understands that you, a foreigner, entered the big tent of the Chinese army with a weapon, what should you do if something happens?
Ruhatu opened a deerskin tool pouch and placed it on the desk, which contained a dozen sharp lancets.
Chen Lu asked, "Which knife is the most commonly used by you?"
Lu Hatu took out one, Ha San took it and handed it to Chen Lu, Chen Lu took out the talisman from his sleeve and put it on the knife, but there was no reaction at all.
Chen Lu said, "Bring the bag." ”
Ha San hurriedly handed it over, Chen Lu looked at it for a while, a rusty, thin lancet like a cicada's wings caught his attention, he picked it up and asked Lu Hatu: "You almost don't use this knife, right?"
Ruhatu said with a smile: "Since I took over this business, I have never used it. This was passed on to me by my father, and my father said that he rarely used it, and he told me that this knife had been passed down for about seven lifetimes. This craft is passed down from our family's ancestors, and it is the craft that keeps us alive in our lives. Even if this knife is a kind of inheritance, it can be regarded as a thank you to the ancestors and the Immortal Heaven, and it is usually reluctant to use it. ”
Chen Lu nodded, took out the talisman and put it on it, only to see a flash of red light, and the bright red ghost talisman was printed on the blade. This talisman can be big or small, and it is completely printed on this small blade.
Chen Lu was overjoyed, hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed respectfully to the air, stood up and said, "Lord Envoy, I will come when I go." ”
Everyone saw him mysteriously making trouble, and they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh. Chen Lu walked out with this lancet, and Wenda and Ha San followed.
Chen Lu set up an acupuncture point in the northwest corner of the camp and ordered the soldiers to dig a pit on the acupuncture point, he untied the blue belt, carefully wound the lancet, printed a ghost talisman on the outside, prayed silently, and put it into the pit.
Wenda found a distinctive cyan river pebble and placed it on it to make a mark.
Told Wenda: "General Wen, send someone to keep an eye on it, don't leave anyone for a moment, after an hour, let the soldiers call me, and my Zicheng will come to fetch it in person, there is General Lao Wen." ”
Wenda hurriedly said that he didn't dare.
Chen Lu returned to the big tent, took the Qinglong Sword in Han Liu'er's hand, and wore it on his waist. He knew in his heart that without the blue belt on his body, he would have nothing to rely on.
Although there is still that talisman, it is difficult to ensure that it will not be missed, in this treacherous place, put the Qinglong Sword on your body, you can be safe.
Li Da looked at him and chattered, and he didn't mention the idea of setting off. Moreover, the sentinels have already found out that the official roads in the areas west and north of the camp are guarded by the villagers of Macheng, and they can't go if they want to.
An hour passed, and Chen Lu personally went to fetch the lancet. He first prayed silently next to the acupuncture point, and ordered the soldiers to pick it up with their hands, which surprised people that the acupuncture point was empty.
Chen Lu panicked and said, "General Wen, we didn't remember the wrong place, right?"
Wenda also panicked and said, "That's right, it's impossible to forget the place, it's this cyan river pebble that I put with my own hands, and it's almost impossible to see such a stone camp." Someone!"
Wenda lost his temper and took out his horsewhip to greet the men.
Chen Lu said: "Don't be busy, let's look for it again." ”
Han Liu'er shouted in surprise: "My lord, look, it's here." ”
Less than two paces away, there was also a cyan river pebble, pressed against a new piece of earth, and several people laughed.
Wenda laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "It looks so old." ”
At this time, the soldiers standing guard stopped and said, "General, it is impossible to be mistaken, a few of us are gathered here like nails, and we have not moved at all, can he grow legs?"
An ominous premonition swelled up in Chen Lu's heart. Everyone picked this up, or not, everyone was dumbfounded. Wenda was furious and shouted "Someone". A few of his own soldiers came over: "Tie up these foolish things for me." ”
Several of the soldiers couldn't help but say, and kicked the four soldiers on the guard and tied them up.
Wenda asked angrily, "Say, did you do it?"
Several people shouted that they were wronged.
Wenda said: "It must be these few things that I don't know, I heard that this lancet has been passed down for seven lifetimes, I thought it was an antique, I moved my mind, dug it out and hid it." Say it quickly, or you will pass the hall one by one. ”
Chen Lu knew that Wenda was talking to everyone. Chen Lu listened to it for a long time, and his feelings were tied up for this absurd reason, and at first he thought that there was any evidence? These soldiers were just tossing and digging and playing for a rusty gelding knife.
Chen Lu knew that he was on the road again, and he had nothing to do with these soldiers. He waved his hand and said, "General Wen, it's none of their business, let them go." Look at it. ”
When you look, there are signs like this on the west and north sides of the whole camp, and there is one every two steps.
Li Xian also came, and when he saw this scene, he was frightened. Knowing that he had wronged the soldiers, Wenda ordered them to be released, saying, "This is too damn evil." ”
Chen Lu has now calmed down and said: "Don't be afraid, my old man has been used to it all these years, don't worry, it's not strange, it's self-defeating." ”
After speaking, he returned to the big tent with Li Xian. Li Xian reported the situation to the lieutenant envoy.
Li Da's eyes widened, he sat down on the chair with a slump of his buttocks, and said, "Song Dashuai said that there are many evil and supernatural things in the Western Regions, and in the past few days, it is true. Let's discuss it and send someone back to Suzhou to ask Song Dashuai for help. Let them send two magicians to assist us, or we will not be able to move an inch. ”
