Chapter 5, You Can Use a Sword, I Can Speak Horse (2)
Zhang Xiaoan hugged the haystack that was taller than himself, barely showed his head and glanced at the girl, and his trademark smile came out spontaneously.
"No, I said I could do it. ”
The girl looked at Zhang Xiao'an's humble appearance, and her brows were furrowed. No way, since she was a child, she was used to seeing too many young teenagers smirking in love.
"I'm not helping you, these horses are mine, I'm afraid that you won't be able to feed them, and my horses will suffer. The girl explained to the thin black boy in front of her.
"Okay, I can really do it myself!" Zhang Xiaoan was a little embarrassed.
Putting down the forage, Zhang Xiaoan pulled out the iron sword at his waist, looked at it again, and then placed it securely in the corner of the forage truck. Originally, there was already a wooden sword on his back, and with this iron sword, it was more or less cumbersome.
The girl saw that the young man had obviously never seen the world, and that he was quite skilled in drawing his sword, so she couldn't help but follow curiously.
"Do you know how to wield a sword? ”
"Absolutely. Zhang Xiaoan was so excited when he heard this, if this was before, he would not dare to reply, but now he dares. After all, now he has swordsmanship in his heart, and his hands are not unarmed.
Scold!
Zhang Xiaoan skillfully pulled out the iron sword, thought about it and sent it back.
"It's a pity I can't use it now. Zhang Xiao'an sighed, what Uncle Duan said, he always remembered in his heart, what happened to Uncle Duan now? Those immortals, shouldn't be able to hurt Uncle Duan.
Still thinking about it, the girl in front of her got up and jumped, jumped off the roof of the car, grabbed the reins of a group of black horses, and blew in the ears of the black horses, as if she had said something. The black horse seemed to be itchy, shook his ears, stamped his hooves, and then looked at himself humanely.
"Do you believe I can talk to horses? The girl smiled and added, "I only whispered in the horse's ear to let it go east, and it will go east, no one will rush it, do you believe it or not?"
Zhang Xiaoan was pulled back in front of her by the girl's words, and after reacting, she couldn't help but scold the girl for really being a fool.
"I'm short-sighted, do you want to let it go and I'll take a look?"
"It's a pity I can't use it now!" said this, and the coachman on the side laughed. Zhang Xiaoan sighed, feeling that this was squeezing himself. I really don't look like I know how to swordsmanship?
That's it, Uncle Duan said that swordsmen should not be grandstanding, let alone show off. Forget it, why bother to meet them?
"Sorry, sorry, borrowed it. ”
The boy picked up a bundle of hay and squeezed through the crowd, walking towards the black horse where the girl was pulling the reins.
"Little brother, if you know martial arts, let me give my brother a few looks, I testify, our young lady really knows horse language, I didn't lie to you. Ha ha. ”
"Young man to tell the truth, I have grown so big, I have seen Wang Darttou is real kung fu, claiming to know martial arts, like you are so young, I really haven't heard of it, or you take out your sword and draw a few strokes casually, so that the brothers can gain knowledge. ”
Zhang Xiaoan turned around and smiled apologetically when he heard this, didn't speak, turned his head to look at the girl, and signaled that he wanted to go over to feed the horse.
The girl in front of her obviously had no intention of giving way, her dark eyes flickered a few times, and her hand touched the pocket of the clothes in her arms. Zhang Xiaoan has been practicing swords for seven years, and he has long been wary of this kind of action. But Zhang Xiaoan never expected that the girl would take out a dagger from her arms and stab Zhang Xiaoan clumsily.
Zhang Xiaoan hurriedly retreated, his eyes became solemn, staring at the girl's eyes tightly, holding a knife in his hand to make a move, this kind of thing is not as simple as fighting.
It seemed that she was nervous about being stared at by herself, and the girl in front of her smiled and scolded with a little carelessness: "Fool, this dagger is full of gold sore medicine, and it can't kill people, look at your cowardice, it's really not." ”
Isn't the dagger usually stained with poison? If you go down with this knife, you can't die, and you will always be in pain?
In the midst of laughter, the girl let go of the reins and made way for her. Zhang Xiaoan was holding the hay and just put it in front of the black horse, but the black horse suddenly broke free of the reins, turned around and kicked his hoof.
Obviously, the black horse was quite docile just now, why was he suddenly unhappy? A rolling, quite embarrassed to avoid the black hand of the black horse, Zhang Xiaoan subconsciously looked back at the girl who was watching him behind him.
"Have you seen enough, hurry up and feed the horses!" Ah Hong was a little embarrassed by Zhang Xiaoan's staring, scolded in a low voice, and put the dagger back in his arms.
Zhang Xiao'an turned his back to the carriage and stared at the girl until he thought he was at a safe distance, then he turned around and went to the carriage to get hay. The bundle of hay had just been picked up, and the girl in the red tight horse suit beside her also carried a bundle beside her. Could this girl be able to help?
"I just don't want to starve my horse. The girl explained.
"I know, you don't want to starve your horse. Zhang Xiaoan showed a look of understanding and smiled innocently.
"Get out!" The girl blushed for a while, always feeling that Zhang Xiaoan was thinking too much.
Zhang Xiao'an was even more puzzled, is there a problem with his smile? Obviously, he should be very kind! Looking at the back of the girl holding the hay, Zhang Xiaoan thought to himself.
Maybe women like those cold-faced heroes! The kind that doesn't smile and kill people with knives, hmm... It must be like this.
Holding his own forage, Zhang Xiaoan walked in the opposite direction, and there was someone to help, which was indeed a lot faster. Putting the fodder in front of the horses again, Zhang Xiaoan was about to turn back, but found that the horses in front of him had no intention of eating at all, but twisted their heads frantically, trying to remove the reins.
Even a layman who doesn't understand horses can see the fear in the eyes of horses.
A bad premonition arose.
In the past, when killing demons, Uncle Duan taught that one way to judge whether there is a big demon is to see the reaction of ordinary beasts, compared with humans, these creatures born and grown in the mountains are often more vigilant than humans.
Unable to care about the horse, Zhang Xiaoan hurriedly ran back to the carriage and held the iron sword in his hand.
"Young man, what are you panicking about? Miss went to the other side, not here. Hahaha. The driver didn't notice it at all, and was still joking.
Zhang Xiaoan asked tentatively: "Our king darthead, what realm of monsters can we kill?"
"Monsters, where do you get the monsters on the official road? Within three miles of the official road, there are monks' talisman marks, ordinary monsters, will not attack, I wait for a mortal, the guard is just a mountain thief. can kill monsters, who is still the head of the dart. But Wang Darthead is not an ordinary person, three years ago, outside Chema Town, Wang Darthead personally killed a white-fronted worm with hanging eyes. The coachman patiently explained, for fear that the young man in front of him would be too young and frivolous and look down on Wang Darttou.
Zhang Xiao'an listened to the monk's talisman and felt a little relieved. But I still want to take a good look. So he climbed to the top of the carriage and looked around, but found that no matter where it was, it was only an impermeable dense forest.
But in a moment, Ah Hong, who was feeding the horses, also ran back out of breath.
"There are demons, in the forest... There is a demon, you guys are ready to go, I'll go tell my father!"
"It's too late. Zhang Xiaoan looked at the several wolf demons in front of the convoy that had already revealed their shadows, and tightly grasped the iron sword at his waist. I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart, how did the girl in front of me know that there was a demon in the forest, could it be that this girl really knew what horse language? The thought flashed in her heart, and the strange hooves of the black horse just now couldn't help but feel a little confused.
Whew~
A wolf howl came from the front of the convoy, and the frightened horses caused quite a commotion, and the coachmen clung to the reins and barely stabilized the situation.
"Not only in front, but also on all sides. ”
Zhang Xiaoan looked at the black shadow in the woods and jumped out of the carriage, feeling a burst of excitement in his heart for no reason. If you kill these wolf demons by yourself, will you be called a hero? When you arrive in Anyang, you don't have to wait for Uncle Duan to come, you may be able to find a place to eat and live. Listening to the voice, these wolf demons can be regarded as small demons in the Enlightenment Realm, which is equivalent to the strength of the monk who has just succeeded in condensing qi.
As soon as this idea flashed in his heart, Zhang Xiaoan immediately denied it.
Swordsman, do not compete for fame and fortune. My starting point is not right, and besides, I don't have the belief that I will win.
Ah Hong looked at the stunned young man in front of him, and couldn't help but feel a little disgusted, but still asked, "How do you know that there are wolf demons on all sides?"
Zhang Xiaoan was about to say something demonic, murderous, or something like that, but suddenly remembered and said it, and the girl in front of him wouldn't understand.
"The wolf demon is good at surrounding, hurry up and find your father, give up the convoy, everyone rides horses to break through from one side, there is still a chance. ”
Woo ~ Woo ~ The wolf demon roared more and more clearly in the distance, but Ah Hong frowned.
"Impossible, the car is here, we are in the Wantong Dart Bureau, it is impossible to lose the dart!" Ah Hong was extremely resolute.
"Then you are all dead, who can send you the darts?" Zhang Xiaoan listened vigilantly to the movements around him, and in the cold winter wind, he could faintly hear the low roar of the wolf demon.
Ah Hong was stunned for a moment, obviously falling into silence.
The breath of the wolf demon became more and more obvious, obviously not strong, but Zhang Xiao'an's heart was more and more frightened.
There are monks on the official road, and the wolf demon never moves during the day. Why did the wolf demon come here? Or is there a more powerful monster after the wolf demon?
Zhang Xiaoan felt the demonic aura around him, looking for the best direction to break through, and at the same time waited for Ah Hong, who was still hesitating.
One breath.
Two breaths.
"If you don't leave, it's too late. Zhang Xiaoan's voice trembled a little.
As soon as Zhang Xiao'an's words fell, a piercing scream came from the front of the convoy, and it was obvious that the wolf demon had arrived at the front of the convoy. With the roar of the wolf demon and the screams one after another, the convoy suddenly panicked, and many horsemen scattered and fled, while the rest fled to the front of the convoy.
There is a king dart head that can claim to be able to kill the white-fronted insects.
"Uncle Wang and so many darts are still there, if Uncle Wang can't beat them, what's the use of running away. Ah Hong faced the wolf howl and scream, and ran quickly to the front of the convoy, leaving this faint sentence, leaving Zhang Xiaoan speechless.
Zhang Xiaoan had to smile bitterly, yes, how could he, an ordinary person who couldn't use a sword in other people's eyes, be more convincing than Uncle Wang? The wolves were approaching, and at this time, he only had to flee to the north, and there was a seventy percent chance of survival, after all, the wolf howls in the north were the rarest.
