Chapter 120: After a pause
After more than a month and a half, I made a detour back to the entrance of the cave again, compared to the noisy swords when I came, and there were only two of them now.
The wind and snow have turned into warmth, the snow on the mountain has melted, and it has begun to be more green, and the eyebrows and eyes of the two have also added a bit of wind and dust.
Putting down the long black box on their backs, the two of them stopped for a moment, each thinking about something, and when he left, the young man looked up at Qingshan, and left only a sentence that should not be so.
Although the weather is already slightly warmer, the border between the two countries is already tense and full of cold.
Yang Hejiu looked back, how could a monk who had always been good at flattery not know what he was thinking?
He smiled and went to the border guard, and asked him about a young woman with outstanding appearance and a token of Gongzi, and after some inquiry, he learned that the woman had already been escorted to the Dachang Dynasty in the far north.
It was a coincidence that there happened to be an envoy to Beichang in that convoy.
No one thought that this convoy trip would actually involve the fate of the two national women in Qi Chu.
The monk just joked with a hint of teasing, saying that gentleman should not worry.
Thinking of the picture, and then seeing that there are only two of them now, the monk is very bored and the gap is too big, and he begins to feel a little nostalgic in his heart, every time he asks Yang Hejiu why he waits for a few more days, Yang Hejiu's answer is that the teacher asked him to go back.
In the monk's opinion, this gentleman really doesn't know how to be flexible, your teacher tells you to go back, you have to go back immediately? If you spend a few days on the road, he can still eat you?
Although I had no choice but to move forward.
From here, about 100 miles to the west, there is a small town in Chu State, called Yingfu, which is not big but is also complete.
The only long street is bustling with activity at this hour.
At the end of the street, a girl in white walked from a position further to the west.
The town is not as clean and tidy as the big cities, so few people here wear a dirty white coat.
But this color is not too strange, after all, what color clothes people like to wear is her own business, and the strange thing is the girl.
The girl's face was expressionless, and she couldn't see joy or dislike, and she seemed out of place with the town or the whole world.
In fact, all the people who saw this girl along the way thought the same thing.
Raise your feet and walk into the slightly crowded crowd, the pedestrians who are a little closer hurriedly and inadvertently run a little farther up, always feel that this girl is chilled all over her body, it is already March, this town seems to have not reached spring.
The girl stopped abruptly, then turned and walked towards an inn.
The guys in the inn were busy, the shopkeeper sat behind the cabinet yawning and squinting slightly, seeing that a distinguished guest came to the door and hurriedly got up to greet her, seeing her white clothes always felt a little familiar.
The girl turned a blind eye to the shopkeeper's enthusiasm, and no matter how hot the greeting was, it couldn't cover her coldness.
I found an empty seat and sat down, asked for a random meal, and put three or two copper plates on the table.
The shopkeeper put away the copper plate with a dissatisfied face, and said with a dry mouth that even if the food in his store was wanted to be eaten, he had to come down from the Taiyin Mountain in person, and naturally it would be more expensive, so the three or two copper plates of the braised pork you ordered were definitely not enough!
The girl didn't pay attention to him, and the shopkeeper didn't dare to look for trouble, what kind of ability is it to bully a girl?
Yes, the shopkeeper persuaded himself like this in his heart, not because he felt that the other party was not easy to provoke.
The girl doesn't know anything about prices, she just orders at will and gives money at will.
So all the shops that have done business with her along the way have lost money and don't dare to say anything, and some of the shopkeepers who refuse to suffer losses feel that the other party is bullying themselves and refuse to let people go, but they are always regarded by this girl as blocking their way and raising their hands to the side.
According to her understanding, she has already given money, so it is naturally your fault to block my way, but she doesn't know how much to give or how little to give.
Such an unreasonable girl naturally quickly alarmed the government in many places, but it is not a simple matter to stop her, who can do if the government has no rut?
Therefore, whenever the maiden left a place, the merchants of that place thanked him in their hearts.
The shopkeeper looked at the three or two copper plates on the table, gritted his teeth and pinched them, something is better than nothing!
The girl suddenly spoke, "Why?"
When the shopkeeper heard this voice, he admired it in his heart, thinking that it would be good if he could marry and go home in two months.
Then I reacted to her words.
Why? Why don't I beat you? That's going to have to be a good fight.
The shopkeeper cautiously expressed his incomprehension to the other party, and the girl spoke, "If Lord Luna-sama knows, you will die." ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he no longer pretended to explain something.
After all, it's just a ridiculous sign, and no one really thinks that the moon god will come down from the upper floor and run here for a meal, and if so, you will definitely not lose money if you are fooled into paying a little more.
Most people are also Tu Yile, happy and willing to give more, then give more, really some more serious themselves don't argue with him in this regard, but you can't treat the diners as fools, that's just going to be smashed.
But at this time, I heard the girl move the word 'death' out, and the shopkeeper shouted bad luck.
It's only been a few months since the end of the New Year? First of all, there was a plague god on the day of the New Year, and now someone cursed himself to death?
Hurriedly snorted to the side, and explained in a low voice: "This girl, what kind of mountain is far away from our shop, can it be transmitted to that place? Besides, who knows what the moon god looks like? ”
The girl pondered for a moment, and realized that what she was about to ask was not the same thing as the shopkeeper's answer, so she asked no more.
Soon after, the dish had already arrived, and the girl began to eat the food on the table, and it seemed to her that the braised pork on the table seemed to be a little greasy in her mouth, but it tasted good.
She walked fast during this time, and that was because she wanted to find answers as soon as possible.
However, in this town, he is willing to slow down and eat a bowl of braised pork, and after the meal, he quietly listened to a choreographed script at the entrance of the town.
Those people are happy, but shouldn't these happiness be lived before they can have it?
She came to the border between the two countries, but at this time the war had not yet begun, so she could not see the male warriors who threw their heads and spilled blood on the battlefield where the two armies intersected.
If she had, she might have understood something.
Her path had not deviated, and if she had changed her course slightly, she might have come to a mountain after a long distance, and if she had followed the hill further on, there would be a small cave.
In front of the cave, she might be able to see the arrows that had been cut down one by one, and there was an unnamed grave about ten paces further on, but she couldn't ask anything more.
So she's just moving forward.
The state of Chu is not worth staying for her, but for some people, no, it is some horses that are unwilling to leave if they stay.
The mountain road was uneven, and the horses of the people were also not smooth all the way, and they finally went down the mountain but had to carry everyone to gallop.
Although I have encountered a lot of cities along the way, it is calculated that it takes more time to travel than to rest, and it is absolutely a shame to carry a young man with weak combat strength every day, and now it is finally a city, and everyone does not want to rest but wants to turn around and run?
Xu Changan dragged Lin Ying's white horse stiffly, and scolded angrily: "Brute, have you forgotten the situation when we came?"
The white horse can forget, but Xu Changan doesn't dare to forget, whether it is the gloomy picture in the prison of the Tingwei Mansion, the escape process in the city and the bloody battle at the city gate, it makes him see the city from a distance and change its route.
That's right, the city in the distance is the capital city of Western Chu.
Although Xu Chang'an has now opened the mountain, this city is still so tall to him.
Lin Ying said angrily: "My horse, it's not your turn to scold!"
Xu Changan hurriedly put down the pulling action in his hand and made a gesture of please.
Lin Ying faced the white horse and shouted coldly: "Get out!"
The white horse no longer has the same spirit as when facing Xu Changan.
Seeing this, Xu Changan was a little embarrassed, and complained: "Why are the horses of your Zhennan Army so lazy?"
This is definitely a mockery, but the Zhennan army is not arguing with it in the face of ridicule.
So Lin Ying just looked at the kid with great contempt, and didn't bother to explain to him that this horse was not lazy, but looked down on you.
Jiang Ming covered her mouth and chuckled, agreeing with the plan to detour, and suddenly everyone noticed a movement in the grass in the distance at the same time.
In a small city, Wu Qitu and Fang Chang walked casually, and the expression on Fang Chang's face was still full of displeasure.
When the group went down the mountain, they said goodbye to Xu Chang'an, and when they were about to separate, Fang Chang didn't know why, pulled Xu Changan aside, mysteriously took out a Taoist scripture and said that he wanted to give it to him.
But he never thought that Xu Changan would turn two pages at random and return it again, on the grounds that it was too boring, and if he gave it, he might only be able to see it in the latrine.
Fang Chang didn't give up, remembering what Wu Qitu had said, he just said to the young man with the idea that even if he put it in the toilet, it would be useful.
But I was stunned by Xu Changan's other sentence, how can you use toilet paper in this book?
Wu Qitu couldn't help but laugh when he saw Fang Chang's unhappy appearance, "You are not a scholar, why do you just give books to scholars?"
After Fang Chang got off the snowy mountain, he pinched a piece of grass root out of nowhere, put it in his mouth and bit it hard, crossed his hands around Fang Fang's sword in his arms, sucked the juice and said, "Yours should have been in the latrine, and mine is still on my body, how can I learn from you?"
Wu Qitu shook his head and said with a smile: "That's right, your Taoist scripture is indeed not as comfortable as toilet paper." ”
Fang Chang sucked his teeth again, spit out the grass root that he had bitten so hard that he was gone, walked in front and gritted his teeth, "Stinky boy! Lao Tzu must give you something!"
Hearing this, Wu Qitu smiled dumbly, and looked at his expression and said that he was going to burn Xu Changan and his house, and I am afraid that no one would suspect it.
I didn't expect to just think about giving something away?
