There are no more carriages.

Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts can only walk.

But neither of them knew where to go.

Although the direction of Dingxi Wangcheng is known.

But if you only rely on your legs and feet, you will not be able to see the gates of the royal city when it is dark.

"Miss, this day, it looks like it's going to rain......"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

It was still a clear sky before, but now the black clouds are pressing down layer by layer.

It looks as if it is so close to the ground that it seems to be able to reach it with a single stretch of hand.

"When did you learn to look at the weather?"

Zhao Mingming asked with a smile.

On the mountains, the four seasons are the same.

I can't tell the difference between this spring, summer, autumn and winter.

It will be comfortable to stay in an unchanging environment all year round.

Even if it's a repetition of the cycle, at least there are some changes.

"Spring is meant to be a rainy season. ”

But after a long time, it will be a little boring.

In the world, there are two rains in spring and autumn, one snow in winter, and then a touch of the scorching sun in summer.

All that I know is nothing more than what I see from books.

"Since you said it was going to rain, what should we do?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

She doesn't look at the weather at all.

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

She wondered why the young lady had asked.

Zhao Mingming asked.

"Naturally, I wanted to find a place to hide from the rain. ”

Where else do you need to ask in particular?

"Then you can find it. I'll follow you. ”

When it rains, it's time to take shelter.

This is the same as the previous two people who were hungry and had to find food to eat.

The bazaar has dispersed.

Whether it is a vendor, a spectator, or a buyer, they all leave in pairs.

Zhao Mingming said.

As soon as this sentence came out, people with such a big nerve as Rao is fried chestnuts with sugar were a little difficult......

The destination of sugar-fried chestnuts and Zhao Mingming is in the mountains.

Naturally, the mountains can also be used to shelter from the rain.

They all have their own destiny.

Even if you don't have a place to go, you at least know where to go to take shelter from the rain.

Man lives for a breath.

The same is true of the alien beasts.

But if he really had nowhere to go because of this rain, he returned to Lieshan, but Zhao Mingming would rather rain than a sword.

Dying in the rain of swords sounds much worse than returning to the mountains because there is nowhere to hide from the rain.

Sometimes it can be all-encompassing.

The beggar held a hundred thousand, sang the mouse treasure in his mouth, and begged along the street to satisfy his stomach, so he naturally put down his face.

After she became enlightened, the first thing she understood was to save face.

Face is sometimes worthless.

Some people want to be famous, while others want to be indifferent to fame and fortune.

But these people, without exception, are all well fed and not hungry.

At this time, where is it important to fill your stomach with face?

But for those who are hungry and hungry, this face means everything.

They are also not hungry.

But these two people neither want to be famous, nor do they want to be indifferent to fame and fortune.

A hungry person simply doesn't have the time to think about such illusory things.

Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts have just finished eating noodles and tofu.

Zhao Mingming pointed from afar.

Not far from the slope, there were bursts of white smoke.

Just looking for a place where I could hide from the rain.

"Look over there!"

Zhao Mingming knew that it was cooking smoke.

The presence of cooking smoke indicates that there is a fire.

When the sun is high and the weather is good, it is difficult to see the wisps of white smoke like this.

But now the sky is dark, and the black clouds are low, but they are extremely striking.

Its fear of fire is also engraved in the blood and bones.

But a lot of things, it's better than it always has been.

And where there is a fire, there must be a home.

The beasts don't like fire......

Reason triumphs over sensibility.

Back then, the steppe people had fire, thus conquering the wolves on the grassland.

After the transformation, if you are afraid of fire, you can't say anything.

In this respect, the alien beast clearly does a better job than man.

Instead of indulging in the natural protection that the night provides them.

"Is that smoke?"

After the beasts were transformed, they adapted to the existence of fire.

It is also lit up at night.

Whether it's cooking smoke or not, she doesn't know.

In her consciousness, the smoke only rises when she is cooking.

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

Zhao Mingming shook her head.

In the world, people see such wisps of white smoke, I am afraid that they will call it cooking smoke.

When a little smoke starts, it often causes human thoughts and feelings.

It was so far away that she didn't know if the smoke was used for cooking.

I have to say that Zhao Mingming is a little more serious about admitting death.

These behaviors are extremely incredible things in Zhao Mingming's opinion.

The moonlight is as cool as water and as cold as yin.

This kind of feeling is also something that Zhao Mingming has not been able to understand.

As she read in a book, the scribes of the human race would drink wine by moonlight at night and sing about the wind.

How to put it on the moon, but it is so bleak and can also be used as a snack.

Not to mention when the wind blows......

Not to mention that you can't eat it in your mouth, even if you can swallow it as food, I'm afraid it doesn't taste very good......

The good dishes and meals in the world, don't all pay attention to the color, flavor and taste?

swaying from place to place, but there is an inexplicable sense of joy.

But in such an environment, there are still people who are in the mood to sing.

It doesn't blow on the mountains, though.

But Zhao Mingming looked down from the bottom of the mountain and saw the trees and cordyceps being blown around by the wind.

Zhao Mingming said.

"But didn't the lord let us only stay at the Xiangteng Inn?"

Zhao Mingming really couldn't understand.

"Let's go that way first, maybe someone will have a house. ”

Zhao Mingming spread her hands, looked around and said.

There is a market, which means that there must be several towns around.

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

"Do you think this is like a place with an inn?"

Zhao Mingming regretted it a little......

It would be nice if Fang just grabbed one person and asked.

The market is usually located in the center of these towns.

It's not very far from anyone, so that you can gradually gather popularity.

As for whether those people were willing to tell her, Zhao Mingming had never been worried.

First, she's a girl.

Now I don't know how to be so embarrassed and passive.

Like a headless fly, scurrying around.

Second, she is very beautiful.

Whether it is a human or a beast, they can always let down most of their guard against beautiful things.

It is always much easier for a girl to ask someone for questioning than a man.

No matter how polite and decent the man is, it is the same.

Therefore, a beautiful girl will definitely be smooth and smooth in this life.

Because it was really difficult for others to find a reason to reject her.

Children will be fascinated by butterflies in the flowers and wildflowers by the pool.

Adults are unable to extricate themselves from this warbler.

Zhao Mingming walked towards the slope with the sugar-fried chestnuts.

After going around the bushes and woods, I found that there were almost people.

However, Zhao Mingming has some subjective assumptions about this.

She overlooked an important factor.

The courtyard wall is low.

Zhao Mingming could see inside at a glance.

Almost at the door of people's homes, there are whole sheets of animal skins hanging and drying.

There are black bears, there are horned deer, and there are ...... Fox.

"What kind of people are these ......?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said with a frown.

In the courtyard, there are neatly arranged bamboo strips on the window edges of the houses.

On the bamboo strips are very regular snakeskins.

At least everybody used to be like that.

Seeing his former companion being hung in such a bloody way, it will be a little difficult for anyone to accept.

Although they have opened their minds and turned into human form, they are considered alien beasts, and they are fundamentally different from these skinned beasts.

But in any case, this blood is thicker than water, and the different paths are the same.

"Orions, people who don't farm or weave cloth and make a living by hunting?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked,

"It's supposed to be all hunters. ”

Zhao Mingming said.

But she was able to suppress her emotions.

Many times, emotional breakdowns are just because they can't figure it out, or they don't accept it.

Zhao Mingming nodded.

Suddenly seeing so many animal skins, her heart was also a little touched.

It was hunted by humans, and it was also the natural method of survival of the fittest in this heaven and earth.

No matter who it is, they can't interfere.

But anything that can be figured out or accepted, even if it is uncomfortable, can be controlled.

Zhao Mingming knew that she was already fundamentally different from these dead beasts.

Presumably all of them were dead members of the Orion family.

Zhao Mingming motioned to the sugar-fried chestnuts and looked at the grave circle, but she immediately understood.

Man hunts wild beasts, and wild beasts eat people.

Zhao Mingming saw that not far from the west side of these families, there was a small grave circle.

Zhao Mingming said.

"These beasts would have died themselves, if not by Orion. What's more, although they are not as smart as us, they will definitely not be sent to death. After the struggle, each peace and destiny are the norm of this world. ”

There was still a little suffocation in my heart before, but it was smooth in a blink of an eye.

"Life may be unfair, but death must be the fairest thing. ”

She knew that Mademoiselle was going to take shelter from the rain at these Orion's houses.

Of course, she has to do the door.

Zhao Mingming said.

Sugar-fried chestnuts nodded and walked briskly forward.

As long as you have money here, it will definitely make sense.

"Anyone?!"

Walking and walking, the sugar-fried chestnuts also touched the only remaining silver ticket in his arms.

Orions hunt to sell their skins and flesh to make a living.

Even if it was Zhao Mingming's boudoir, she pushed it open so confidently.

"Huh?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts pushed open the courtyard door of a house and said.

In her consciousness, there was no such thing as knocking or being polite.

He was also holding an orange twig on the ground.

"Girl, who are you looking for?"

I heard movement at the door.

An old man walked hunched over and walked out of the door tremblingly.

"Old man, we're not looking for anyone!"

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

The hunchbacked old man asked loudly.

Squinting his eyes, he looked hard at the sugar-fried chestnuts.

But he turned and sat down on a large rock in the courtyard.

"Old man, my young lady and I saw that it was about to rain this day, and we wanted to hide from the rain from you!"

"Oh...... Some of the goods are in the yard, you can see for yourself, and tell me what you like. But it's all a fixed price, my son is not here, I can't be the master and talk to you. ”

The hunchbacked old man said.

The hunchbacked old man seems to have some ears behind his ears.

What the sugar fried chestnuts said, he had to repeat it all over again.

Sugar-fried chestnuts said.

"It's raining?"

People with behind their ears naturally speak much louder because of their backs.

"yes, do you think it's convenient?"

It's no wonder that when he answered, his voice was so loud.

When people speak, they must let themselves hear first.

The hunchbacked old man said.

"We don't stay overnight. As soon as the rain passes, leave. ”

Zhao Mingming stepped forward and said.

"It is common for people in the mountains to be begged for water to drink or to stay overnight. Nothing was too much trouble ......"

The hunchbacked old man said.

got up and walked towards the house with a wooden stick, Zhao Mingming and fried chestnuts followed him, and followed behind.

Zhao Mingming said.

"Let's talk about it, let's sit in the room of the two girls!"

She felt that this old man was so kind, and she should show it.

At least these things can still help.

"Old man, it's going to rain, don't you have to collect the things in this yard?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts walked into the house.

Seeing that this house is completely incomparable with Zhao Mingming's house.

"No, no, my son will come back watching the sky. He has always done these jobs. Others have done it, and he's still not satisfied!"

The hunchbacked old man waved his hand and said.

There was a small lamp lit on the table.

But the lights kept flickering, and they were extremely unstable.

This is also the first time that the two of them have seen this world, how ordinary people live.

In the center of the room is a square table.

The hunchbacked old man said.

Sugar-fried chestnuts were standing there, not saying a word.

There was a strange smell in the air, and Zhao Mingming, who was smoked, frowned slightly.

"Sit down! There is no tea at home, so I can only boil some hot water and drink it!"

"Old man, where has your son gone?"

Zhao Mingming asked.

After being bullied by the big man and the stall owner Lao Li in the market just now, she no longer has a good impression and trust in human beings.

Even the old man in front of him was so hot......

"Wild boar?"

Sugar-fried chestnuts muttered to themselves.

"My son, of course, went up to the mountains to hunt, but the family is still waiting for him to come back and boil the pot...... He had returned empty-handed the night before, but he said that he had seen the hoof prints of a wild boar on the mountain, and that he had gone home with a shovel and a lasso, and had hurried out. No, today I brought my daughter-in-law with me, and said to see if the set was empty. ”

The hunchbacked old man said.

He didn't seem to have spoken in a long time.

Or maybe it's a little exciting to see the living.

"Yes, wild boar! It's the kind of pig with two tusks......! And you are not afraid of people! But you girls in the city must not have seen it. In the past, our family also opened a few thin floors outside the courtyard wall and ate some vegetables. It turned out that the wild boar was brought back and forth three times a day...... I only lasted for a year, but I really couldn't help it, so I leveled the ground. Then the boar went into the deep mountains, and never came out again. It's rare to see traces this time!"

The hunchbacked old man said.

It is estimated that the two of them are dressed, but it makes the old man feel that he is from the city.

But that's fine, the other party's preconceived notions are always difficult to wash away.

Zhao Mingming asked something, and he said it in detail.

Zhao Mingming smiled faintly.

Sugar-fried chestnuts then asked.

The previous meal was too vulgar......

A young lady who was established took the maid out to relax, and when it rained and couldn't go back, it was reasonable to come to this hunter's house for a while.

"Is wild boar delicious?"

It's just that I don't eat anymore, and my eating appearance has become a lot more gentle.

"Of course it's delicious! The boar's meat is fragrant! But you have to boil it in water and add some white wine. Otherwise, it will be a little fishy. Speaking of which, now is not the best time to eat wild boar, but the people in the mountains rely on the mountains to eat the mountains, and they don't have much capital to pick and choose. ”

There were only noodles and tofu, and she didn't eat enough at all.

Although the alien beasts have become human, they are still mainly meat-eating.

The water did not boil at all.

If it is completely boiled, it will cost a lot of firewood.

The hunchbacked old man said.

After finishing speaking, he trembled and broke two bowls of water and put them on the table, giving Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts to drink.

I just let it warm up a little.

"When is the best wild boar?"

The water in the mountains is all spring water.

There is no problem with drinking it directly.

I have long heard that human beings like to eat in four seasons, and what season to eat and what season to eat, Zhao Mingming has never figured out what is going on, and now she finally met someone who is willing to say, so she wants to ask clearly.

"Autumn, autumn, wild boar is the fattest!"

Zhao Mingming asked.

She knew what the boar looked like, but she hadn't eaten it either.

"A dozen miles east from here, there is a wild fruit forest, which I had when I was a child. But as for what fruit, they do not know. Anyway, it's red in the fall. Those of us rarely go to eat, because it is too dense, and many of it is not fully cooked. But in the fall, the fruit falls along with the pages. Spread a thick layer on the undershirt. ”

The hunchback asked.

The hunchbacked old man said.

Then he also drank a sip of water and moistened his throat.

I was obviously asking him about the wild boar, why did he start talking about this wild fruit again?

"In autumn, the temperature in the mountains varies greatly. It was freezing to death in the morning and evening, but it was very hot at noon. These wild fruits are piled on the ground, and no one cares about them, and slowly the sake begins to ferment. If it rains again at the airport, it will ferment faster. If you follow the wind, you can blow that sour smell here. Every year, as long as they smell this sour smell, the big guys will go to the wild fruit forest to guard it. for there are always wild boars that eat the wild fruit. But the fermented wild fruit, like fruit wine, has a degree! Some small wild boars get drunk before they know it, and fall asleep on their sides. My son tied it with the front and back hooves with a lock sleeve and dragged it back. ”

When he said this, he suddenly stopped.

Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts were a little puzzled......

Zhao Mingming asked.

"Haha, speaking of which, it really doesn't make a difference who this beast is...... If a man drinks too much, he is a jar of rotten meat heaped there. No matter how punched and kicked you are, you don't even know it. The same goes for wild boars. They all dragged to the door of the house, but they were still drunk. ”

The hunchbacked old man said.

"Can this wild boar get drunk like this?

But since they want to hear it, they just want someone to talk to, so it's the best of both worlds.

"Drunk wild boars, people are eating, do people know how to mouth?"

The hunchbacked old man said with a smile.

He didn't expect that these two established girls were extremely interested in the wild fun in these mountains and forests.

The hunchbacked old man was stunned and said.

The sugar-fried chestnuts were a reasonable question, and he couldn't explain why.

Sugar-fried chestnuts asked.

"It's certainly not going to ......"

The hunchbacked old man put down the water bowl and said.

"You can still see it if you haven't drunk?"

But after living for such an age, I really haven't seen anyone get drunk like this.

"When I look at the two of you, I just haven't drunk!"

The hunchbacked old man pointed to his nose and said.

Zhao Mingming smiled.

Zhao Mingming asked in surprise.

"Of course you can see it, not only can you see it, but you can smell it with your nose. ”

Zhao Mingming asked.

"You are not the drinkers. ”

When a human says he has a good nose in front of their strange beasts, isn't this an axe?

"We haven't drunk alcohol now, how do the old people know that we haven't drunk before?"

At this moment, the courtyard door was pushed open with a bang.

A man and a woman walked in, presumably the son and daughter-in-law of the hunchbacked old man.

The hunchbacked old man waved his hand and said.

But there is no more explanation.

Before he could even reach the cane, he had to go out of the house.

"Dad, we're back!"

"Fei'er is back!"

The hunchbacked old man's eyes lit up and he immediately got up.

Zhao Mingming also took a look, but he was an extremely strong mountain man.

The skin is somewhat dark because of the wind and sun.

The man said.

The sound is deep.

On his left arm and neck, he wears a lock sleeve that rings and turns.

It's just that he entered the hospital empty-handed.

The hair is shaved short, and the whole person looks extremely spiritual,

He had a long knife pinned to his waist.

The hunchbacked old man asked.

"I didn't ...... This brute...... I'm getting smarter!"

It seems that the trap for catching wild boars has been emptied......

"What, didn't you catch it?"

"It's going to rain, let's get these furs into the house!"

The man said to his daughter-in-law.

The man complained.

Then he untied the lock sleeve wrapped around his body little by little and threw it away.

However, the daughter-in-law here is a little long, and it is very similar to a donkey and a horse when she hangs it like this.

"Dad, there's someone at home?"

Although Zhao Mingming is an outsider, she can also see that the daughter-in-law here seems to have some conflicts with her husband and father-in-law......

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said a word of relief, and he would have lost his face.

Zhao Mingming and sugar-fried chestnuts sat quietly in the room, without making a sound, but they were all noticed by the daughter-in-law here.

"It's two girls from the city, they see it's going to rain, come and hide from the rain!"

The daughter-in-law suddenly asked.

I have to say that women are careful.

She pulled the sugar-fried chestnuts and walked out of the house together, at least she had to say hello, so that it was not rude.

"This is really a big lady......

The hunchbacked old man said.

Zhao Mingming saw that the old man had introduced herself, but she was also embarrassed to sit upright.

"Excuse me!"

Zhao Mingming said with a slight bow.

When the daughter-in-law saw Zhao Mingming and fried chestnuts with sugar, her eyes were straight.

After being silent for a long time, he held back such a nonchalant and sour sentence.

pretended to be relaxed, and glanced at Zhao Mingming a few times.

"Dingxi Royal City. ”

"Which one came from?"

The daughter-in-law asked as she collected the leather goods in the yard.

The daughter-in-law said.

The run on the verbal is even worse!

Zhao Mingming said.

"......Oh! The eldest lady of Wangcheng, why did you come to this hellish place......"

There was always a friendly smile on his face.

Sugar-fried chestnuts looked at their young lady, but they were exactly the same as when they dealt with those things in the mountains.

"I came out for a walk, but I was greedy for leisure, and I went farther and farther. Suddenly I realized that it was going to rain on this day, so I had no choice but to come and disturb it. ”

Zhao Mingming said neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Zhao Mingming finally understood a problem.

That is a beautiful girl, who will only be favored and indulged by men.

As for women, they will crowd out each other, be jealous, and be jealous.
