Chapter 59: The Wolf Appears
In Yinguo, for the majority of scholars, study tours are a must. Readers who have not traveled to study will make people laugh when they say it.
Among them, study tours can be divided into two types, "rich travel" and "poor travel".
As the name suggests, there is no need to explain.
This trip was improvised, and Chen Tang did not have a predetermined destination. So after going out of the city gate, I walked a mile, and saw a long pavilion by the roadside, so I walked over, sat down, and thought carefully about where I was going next.
In this abnormal world, transportation is quite inconvenient, and the understanding of geography is very poor. The predecessor was accustomed to studying, and the biggest place he has been to is Panzhou Mansion. Thanks to Chenjia Village, which is located on the outskirts of the city, if it is far away and belongs to that kind of remote mountain village, it is difficult to enter the county, let alone the state capital.
There is no shuttle, no mobile car, and even no specific direction and purpose, and it is really not a simple thing to go out.
Limited by experience, Chen Tang is now almost equal to his eyes are black.
After thinking for a while, he simply let go: since he said to go, let's go where to go.
It's okay to be spontaneous.
"Brother Chen, but Brother Chen?"
Suddenly, someone called.
Chen Tang looked over and saw a person walking quickly, as if he was familiar.
"Sure enough, it's Brother Chen!"
The man walked into the pavilion and bowed his hand: "I'm Yang Hong, Brother Chen doesn't remember?"
Chen Tang suddenly remembered this: when he went to Zhao's Mansion to sell words, he lined up outside the door, accosted Yang Hong, and spoke.
immediately returned the salute: "I haven't seen you for a long time, I haven't realized it for a while, please don't blame Brother Yang." ”
Yang Hong glanced at him and asked, "Brother Chen, are you going to go on a study tour?"
Chen Tang nodded: "I want to go out for a few days." Seeing that he was carrying a burden, he asked, "Who are you?"
Yang Hong said with a wry smile: "I went to Zhao's Mansion to line up to sell words today, but I still didn't get a fancy to it...... By the way, I haven't seen you sell words anymore during this time. ”
Chen Tang said casually: "I'm busy reading, I can't write anything." ”
Yang Hong sighed and didn't ask more.
Chen Tang asked, "Brother Yang, is your home outside the city?"
Yang Hong replied: "In Daao Township." ”
On the outskirts of Panzhou Prefecture, there are many towns and villages, and there may be hundreds. The sixteen townships composed of Chenjiacun and Hujiazhuang are only part of them.
Chen Tang had heard of Daao Township, which has a large population.
Yang Hong said with a smile: "It's better to meet by chance, if Brother Chen doesn't dislike it, please come to my house and sit down." ”
He knew that Chen Tang had sold words to Zhao Sanye, so he had the heart to get acquainted.
Chen Tang thought for a while: "I'm afraid it's inconvenient to take the liberty of bothering." ”
"What's the inconvenience?"
Saying that, Yang Hong suddenly thought of something, and his face was slightly hesitant: Every day at this time, the wife of the family will cook well, but the portion is just right, and there is no wine and food, if Chen Tang passes, there will be no hospitality, and the face must not look good......
Chen Tang saw it in his eyes, his mind was exquisite, and he immediately said: "Brother Yang, I have to travel to study in a hurry today, so I won't go to your house." When he has a chance, I invite you to Sihailou for dinner. ”
"That's it...... Well, then I'll take my leave. ”
With a hand and a burden, he left the pavilion and walked away.
Seeing his somewhat clumsy back, Chen Tang sighed: The other party's family background is obviously not good, and it is estimated that he is similar to Wang Fu, both of whom belong to the imperial examination for many years and have been poor in the examination.
In the Yin country, the number of this class is really quite a lot.
Chen Tang's predecessor belonged to one of them, with a little hope, struggling, but no matter how hard it was, he had to hold on.
Because of the front, there is only one way to go......
With a sigh, Chen Tang really felt a little hungry. I went out at noon, walked in a hurry, and didn't eat lunch.
After practicing the qi of heaven and man, he now has a great demand for food, and he has to eat meat every day, otherwise, his stomach will be hungry and panicked.
Boiling the body, it really costs money, every day meat is constant, and the money is like running water.
He thought about it, and in his impression, there are basically restaurants and hotels in the countryside on the outskirts of the city, and the places are not big, but they all provide food, and you can go to the nearby countryside to deal with it, and then talk about it after you are full of food and drink.
I made up my mind, and immediately took a big step and went to find the township.
Let's say that Yang Hong said goodbye to Chen Tang and hurried home. Today, I was waiting for Zhao Sanye outside Zhao's mansion, and I queued for a long time, and I was delayed.
After walking for several miles, Yang Hong was so sweaty that his throat was so thirsty that he was about to smoke.
After walking for a while, there was a slope in front of him, and there were trees on each side.
Yang Hong immediately turned his feet and went to the forest on the right. He was familiar with the terrain here, and knew that after passing through the forest, there was a stream at the other end, the water was clear, and the entrance was sweet. In the past, when I was in a hurry, when I was thirsty, I passed by this section of the road and went to the stream many times to get water to drink.
Soon, Yang Hong came to the stream, immediately leaned down, took a handful of water with both hands, and threw it on his face, the water was cool, and his spirit was immediately lifted. Then he stirred up the water, put it to his lips, and drank it in large gulps.
The water enters the throat, like a long drought and rain, and the whole person is comfortable.
Suddenly, he heard a heavy breath behind him.
Yang Hong turned his head suddenly, and when he saw the object, he let out a shocked "ah", his body lost his balance, and he was so frightened that he fell into the water.
A giant wolf, at some point, appeared behind him, big and strong, with gray fur all over his body, looking like a calf, with his mouth and tongue out, white teeth, and fierce eyes.
"Wolf...... Wolves!"
Yang Honghe had seen such a fierce beast like this, he was almost frightened, struggled desperately, and fled towards the other side of the stream drenched.
"Whew!"
There was another roar, and another giant wolf appeared.
Two giant wolves, one left and one right, blocked Yang Hong in the water.
Yang Hong had no master, he didn't know what to do, and suddenly saw a person walking out of the forest, extremely tall, seven feet long, and suddenly shouted for help as if he had seen a savior.
The giant man was cloaked, dressed in animal skins, his arms were covered with black hair, and his face was fierce, he didn't pay attention to Yang Hong's call for help at all, and just stood there.
Whew!
The giant wolf on the right flew over, biting on Yang Hong's chest, his sharp teeth into his bones, and with a click, Yang Hong snorted and immediately broke his breath.
The giant wolf came to the giant man with the corpse in his mouth, put it on the ground, opened his mouth to speak, and spat out human words, with a flattering meaning: "Lang Jiajun, this is filial piety to you." ”
The general of the Lang family didn't look at it, and said in a deep voice: "If you want to eat, you can eat it quickly, after the tooth sacrifice, there are still important things to do." ”
"Yes!"
The two giant wolves responded in unison, dragging the corpse aside, and the two bloody mouths stretched out between the bloody chests and abdomen, and immediately there was a terrible sound of chewing and gnawing......
