After a while, the two of them ate a large pot of sylvestris meat, and drank a jar of wine almost to the bottom, and the mute girl drank so much that her face turned red, her eyes were in a trance, and she saw her head swinging irregularly from left to right. Wen Xuan became more and more excited the more he drank, and he had a great intention of not being satisfied.

Wen Xuan saw that the woman's cheeks were flushed, obviously fluttering, and thought to himself, "No, drink it again, if you drink it again, I'm afraid that this sister won't even be able to find the way to Yuangui City." Then he said, "Sister, do you have any drawings to go to Yuanguicheng?"

The woman hummed and nodded, staggered to the wooden cabinet, took out a drawing and handed it to Wen Xuan.

Wen Xuan saw that although the drawing was sloppy, he could also clearly see the path of the Yuangui Mountain Range, and saw that the Yuangui City was still thirty or forty miles away from here, and went out to look at the sky, it was already early in the hour, and then turned his head and said: "Sister, let's hurry up and get on the road, there is still a distance to Yuangui City here, the mountain road is not easy to walk, we have to rush there before it gets dark." ”

After hearing this, the woman immediately got up, took out a long bag from the cabinet, and walked out of the door, Wen Xuan was surprised in her heart, "What is this sister going to pick up her husband for with so many bags?" But reading that she was dumb, she didn't ask.

The woman put her bag on the cart and landed in the back seat, Wen Xuan fell in front and caught up the horse, da~ drove forward.

Walk to more than ten miles, the stone road zigzags through a forest, the fragrance is rich, the stone road is full of roses on both sides, the road is gentle, obviously has reached the bottom of the mountain. But there was still no one around, and Wen Xuan wondered in his heart, "Why does this sister live alone in the mountains?" Then he asked, "Sister, how long have you lived in the mountains?" ”

The mute woman stretched out a hand and spread five fingers, Wen Xuan said in his heart: "It has been five years, my sister is really pitiful, she has lived in this kind of place for five years." Just thinking of this, the mute girl patted Wen Xuan on the shoulder, Wen Xuan looked back, and saw the mute girl take out an orange from the package and hand it to Wen Xuan, grinning and revealing a row of teeth.

Wen Xuan hurriedly thanked him, took the orange, and peeled it. The oranges are sweet and delicious, and there is a little wine without sobering up. After walking for several miles, the road is wide and bright, and there are already fields and people coming and going, farming and working, men and women dressing like outsiders, mulberry trees and bamboo forests are dense, the field roads are intertwined, and the sounds of chickens and dogs can be heard by each other. When everyone saw the carriage coming, they stopped their lives and stared at the carriage. Wen Xuan said in his heart: "The people here are really different from the people in Ming Yingcheng, simple and hardworking, and they don't seem to have seen anything in the world, no wonder, it's rugged and difficult to walk here, the terrain is criss-crossed, ordinary people can't find here without a map for the first time, even if there is a map to enter Yuangui City, it takes a great risk, and no one wants to take such a mountain road for the second time, so the people here seem to be isolated from the world." ”

Soon, the two came to the Yuangui city gate, the city gate is about ten zhang high, majestic and magnificent, the city is sparsely populated, and the shops are deserted.

Wen Xuan turned to the dumb girl and said, "Sister, we have arrived, where is your lover?" The dumb woman's eyes were closed, and she looked like she was asleep when she lay back. Wen Xuan shook his head, sighed, and said in his heart: "Hey, this sister can't drink, and now she drinks so much, it seems that she is drunk, and she is drunk." I didn't even notice that she was asleep when I was looking at the picture and driving the horse. Wen Xuan patted the dumb girl's shoulder with his hand, only to see that her eyes were slightly open, her expression was confused, and her mouth was crooked, but she didn't move.

Wen Xuan saw that he couldn't wake her up, and thought: "It's really unlucky today, only to settle my sister first, and then find her husband tomorrow, maybe her husband has already gone back." Seeing that the sky was already dark, he thought, "This mountain road is rugged and difficult, and I have no horseback riding experience, and I will inevitably get lost when I walk the mountain road at night, so I still find a place to rest, and set off for Mingying City tomorrow." So he got out of the car and pulled his horse, and looked for an inn.

After looking for half a sound, Wen Xuan found a tattered inn, thinking: "It's really not easy to find an inn in this Yuangui City" Wen Xuan parked the horse outside the inn, and put down the dumb girl on his back, the dumb girl lay motionless on Wen Xuan's back, Wen Xuan only felt that the dumb girl was very soft on his back, and he couldn't help but feel a wave in his heart. Immediately, Wen Xuan took the long package with his right hand and approached the inn.

The shopkeeper saw a young man carrying a woman on his back, thought it was two mothers and sons, walked forward, and said, "How many rooms does the guest officer want?"

Wen Xuan saw the shopkeeper, who looked like a monkey with a sharp cone, and thought, "Just like this, you can't scare away many guests." Then he said: "Two rooms" The shopkeeper shook his hand and said, "Now there is only one room left, since the two are mother and son, let's just take a break." Wen Xuan was about to explain, but it was useless to want to explain, so he swallowed his words back. Said: "Okay"

Wen Xuan sent the mute girl into the room and propped her on the couch. said: "Sister, you have a good rest first, and then I will find your husband tomorrow." Wen Xuan pulled out a large handful of silver from his pocket, sighed, and said, "I am a dying person, and there is no point in keeping these useless treasures, so it is better to give them to you." I'll just save some for myself for these two days. Then he put the silver beside the mute girl, sat down on a chair beside him, poured a pot of tea, and took a big sip. He said: "Sister, do you know, you are looking for your husband, I am looking for Ling'er, I don't even know whether Ling'er is dead or alive, it's really uncomfortable." The master will also ask for a beheading in a few days, which is really uncomfortable. After speaking, his voice gradually choked, and tears fell.

Then the mute girl snorted and flipped over. Wen Xuan was stunned in his heart, thinking that the mute girl had woken up and said softly, "Sister, sister?" The dumb girl ignored it, but cheered up.

Wen Xuan saw that the woman was sleeping soundly, so he didn't make any more noise, cautiously walked to the wooden table, and lay down. This night, I woke up and went to sleep, and before dawn, I was ready to get up and leave early. Wen Xuan just opened the door, only to hear the humming behind him, it turned out that the dumb girl had also woken up, the dumb girl picked up the silver two placed on the side of the bed and handed it to Wen Xuan, dipped her fingers in water, and wrote on the wooden table: "My husband should go to Mingying City, can you send me to Mingying City?" Wen Xuan was stunned after reading it, and thought: "Why is this dumb girl sister going to Mingying City?" Without waiting for Wen Xuan to continue thinking, the dumb girl continued to write: " My husband is in the tea business and sends tea from Yuanguicheng to Mingyingcheng, but he forgot important things and thought about sending them to him yesterday, but I got drunk from drinking. ”

After reading it, Wen Xuan remembered the camellia he saw in front of the Red Mansion Church Waterfall, and thought: "This area is indeed lush with tea, many farmers are growing tea, and Mingying City is the commercial center of Shu Xianguo, and trade is normal. Wen Xuan said: "No problem, sister, follow me on the horse!" Wen Xuan took the silver tael, thinking in his heart about stuffing it into his package in the future.

The two got into the car and rushed to Mingying City, under the guidance of the dumb girl, the two of them quickly whipped their horses, marched quite quickly, and after a few hours of mountain roads, they walked out of the Yuangui Mountains. After a forest, he suddenly heard the murmuring of the stream in the forest, the bumpy journey and his concentration, Wen Xuan felt hungry for a long time, and saw the barren and densely populated jungle around him, and thought to himself, "I acted in a hurry, I forgot to prepare dry food in Yuanguicheng, and now I can only step on some game in the wilderness." ”

Wen Xuan stopped the carriage, turned his head and said, "Sister, you wait for me here first, and I'll go find something to eat." Then he walked into the woods. Wen Xuan walked into the bushes and headed west. When he saw a river and saw that the water was clear, he squatted down and ate two bites with his hands, which entered the spleen from his mouth, which was cool and sweet. When I looked up at the river, a large bush of small trees was full of green and red wild fruits, so I went to pick one, took a bite, and the entrance was very sour, and I couldn't help but spit it out, and said, "I have never eaten so many wild fruits, and this is the first time I have eaten such a sour fruit." But under the hunger, I couldn't pay attention to it, so I ate a dozen or so in one go, and put it in my pocket while eating.

I was picking the fruit, and there was a sudden swish~ sound in the bushes. Wen Xuan looked forward, it turned out to be a fragrant roe deer, Wen Xuan was overjoyed, but he had no weapons in his hands, so he could only catch up with light skills. Then he picked up the stone in his hand, jumped to the pine tree in front of him, and slammed it into the head of the roe deer. With a thud, the roe deer's brain splashed out, and his body fell to the ground and convulsed. Wen Xuan jumped off the tree, picked up the roe deer, and walked happily towards the carriage.

When the mute girl saw Wen Xuan coming with a roe deer, she immediately walked out of the carriage and gave Wen Xuan a thumbs up with a smile. Wen Xuan smiled: "Sister, you take the roe deer skin, and I'll pick up some wood." The mute girl nodded repeatedly.

In less than a cup of tea, Wen Xuan picked up a lot of dry wood and dead leaves in the bushes, picked up two smooth stones the size of a fist, and returned to the carriage. Seeing that the roe deer had been stripped of its fur and the meat frame was intact on the ground, Wen Xuan secretly admired: "Sister's movements are really fast, and she has removed the fur from the roe deer in such a short time." ”

Wen Xuan piled the dry grass on the ground, held the stones in both hands and approached the grass pile, and with a shout, the two stones collided violently and burst into fireworks, falling on the dead grass, seeing that the flames were not enough, Wen Xuan rubbed the two stones back and forth many times. Gradually, the dead leaves were smoked by the fireworks.

Wen Xuan put down the stone, picked up the dead leaves and slowly put them on the cigarette, blowing carefully in his mouth, and after a while, an open flame came out. When he saw that the fire was burning more and more, he put the timber on it.

Wen Xuan said to the mute girl: "Sister, hand me your knife to use, and I will take off the legs of this fragrant roe deer and roast it." ”

The mute woman took out a knife from her back, which was still covered with blood, which should have been used to skin the roe deer just now.

Wen Xuan took the knife and slashed it towards the road leg, only to feel that the knife was extremely sharp, and the knife marks cut out were extremely smooth and regular.

I couldn't help but play with it in my hand, and when I saw that the knife was well-made, I said in my heart: "This is not an ordinary meat cleaver used by ordinary people? I don't know where this sister picked it up. ”

Wen Xuan skewered the leg meat with wooden sticks and grilled it on the fire rack. He handed the knife to the mute girl and asked, "Sister, your sword is really a good sword, and many samurai warriors are not as good as yours." Where did you get it?" the mute girl snorted, smirked, and gestured to Wen Xuan. Wen Xuan saw that the gesture was waving wildly, and he didn't understand what it meant at all, so he didn't ask again, and concentrated on roasting the roe deer meat.
