When the Wind Rises Chapter 44 The Way Out
In the deep silence of Yunmeng Daze, the low chirping of birds echoed for a long time, and these singers in the forest fell in the peach orchard and tossed for a long time before they flapped their wings and dispersed.
Outside the wooden house, a handsome white dressed woman stood by the lake, looking at the calm pond and thinking that she did not belong.
"If you rain like a girl, it's useless to think too much. The plain-robed boy stepped forward and stood side by side with the woman in white, and comforted him with kind words.
As everyone knows, Zhang Yuruo, who is as cold as ice, doesn't accept this love at all, and at this moment her heart is like being filled with lead water, so she just nodded politely.
The plain-robed boy knew the character of the white clothes, and no longer said a word, and his eyes fell on the pool surface.
In the distance, a purple-clothed figure suddenly swept by, and in the blink of an eye, it landed behind the plain-robed boy.
"Childe, the slave and maid have explored it clearly, and there is no other exit in Taoyuan except to return along the road. Ziyi glanced at Bai Yi with his residual vision, and his long autumn eyes were fluctuating.
The plain-robed boy snorted and said with a wry smile. "But if you go back along the road, I'm afraid that you will have to return to Yunmengze in the clouds. ”
With a creak, the door of the wooden house was pushed open, and the middle-aged man with a bun of balls in his hair was the first to walk out, carrying a fat chicken leg in his hand, followed by Bai Yun, who had slept in the wooden house for a day and a night.
"Bai Yun, you have finally come out, seeing that your complexion is ruddy and shiny, and your body is fine, right?"
"This is all the credit of Dou's predecessors' careful care. Bai Yun nodded in reply.
The white clothes looked forward to it, and quietly glanced at Bai Yun, who was holding a long sword wrapped in cloth, and only then did his brows stretch slightly.
Dou Changan, who had an eccentric temperament, ignored anyone, hurriedly walked to the edge of the pond with the chicken leg in his hand, raised his sleeves, and threw the fat chicken leg over the pond.
Just when everyone was puzzled, there was a violent ripple on the surface of the pond, and if there were monsters at the bottom of the water, a muffled sound like thunder exploded in the middle of the pool, and countless splashes were scattered and splashed like bead curtains, and everyone's clothes were drenched thoroughly in an instant.
A big toad with a charcoal black back like a hill appeared from the bottom of the pool, opened its big mouth to the sky, and threw the fat chicken leg above the pond and immediately became the food in the stomach of the big toad.
It turns out that there is a monster hidden at the bottom of the pool.
After a full meal, the big toad bent its limbs out of thin air, jumped to the shore with a kick in the air, and stepped on the ground with all four feet at the same time, and the muddy ground instantly sunken out four large pits.
At a fixed glance, there was a touch of brown on the back of the big toad that was high and bulging like a knoll, and the brown shook the soaked fur a few times, and quickly crawled down from the toad's back, and secretly glanced at the white clouds during the movements, and ran to the white clothes in a stupid manner.
Zhang Yuruo's cold gaze softened a little, she was the kind of woman who made people forget at a glance, she actually squatted down and wiped the wet fur for the little monster with her white sleeves.
Dou Changan made eye contact with the big toad, and the jaw-dropping big toad exhaled through its nostrils and opened its bottomless bloody mouth.
"You go to the mouth of the big toad, and it will take you away from Yunmengze. After that, Dou Changan, who seemed to be ignorant of human feelings, was about to turn around and return to the wooden house.
"Senior, are you really Dou Xian'er Dou Chang'an?" asked the plain-robed boy with the corners of his mouth raised, looking at the back of the middle-aged man.
Dou Changan raised his eyelids, and said in a vague manner: "Maybe." ”
The boy in the plain robe smiled calmly and said: "They all say that this river and lake is old, in my opinion, it is all nonsense!
"This is not a place where a big man like you should come. Dou Changan deliberately raised his voice on the three words "Da Xuan".
"Senior, don't say goodbye here. Bai Yun arched his hand and bowed deeply, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Dou Changan.
"Okay, it's not so old-fashioned, let's go. Dou Changan didn't look back, waved his hand and walked into the house.
There was a splash of water, and the big toad disappeared into the pond with four people and one bear in its mouth.
There was a hole in the mouth of the toad, but everywhere it was smelly and dark, and suddenly the sticky and soft tongue of the big toad wriggled, and then everyone was violently pushed into the bottom of a huge lake.
The boy in the plain robe seems to be unfamiliar with the water, and he choked a few mouthfuls of water in a row, the master and servant of the same yard, the maid in purple is diametrically opposed, the water is superb and free, the purple clothes turn over lightly in the water, the posture is graceful, and swims to the master's side with the buoyancy of the undercurrent, stretches out the ten fingers that are white like jade, and gently hugs the waist of the prince in the plain robe, and then steps on the aquatic flowers to swim to the lake.
The water of the lake is clear and clear, and the fish and stones below the water are sparkling.
Bai Yun was in a trance, as if he had returned to the situation when he first went to the fire egg pool to touch the stones every day when he first flew to the peak, and he couldn't help but look at it a few more times in his heart.
The calm water was rippling, and everyone swam out of the water with their eyes frozen, and there was no road around this clear jasper lake, all of which were endless reeds.
The purple-clothed maid jumped out of the water with the plain-robed boy in her arms, treading on the surface of the lake like a dragonfly sweeping the lake, and finally landed gracefully on a muddy path between the reeds.
The white clothes are like a green lotus out of the water, carrying a little monster in one hand and a sword in the other hand to break the wind, the soaked white clothes are floating in the air, the water droplets are spinning and scattering like snowflakes, and the last one to surface is the white cloud, and he followed the hind feet of the white clothes to the shore.
"Where is this?" Bai Yun asked with a frown, looking at the reeds that were taller than adults.
Zhang Yuruo shook his head with a cold water to remove a small cluster of reeds.
"Childe, we have just come out of Yunmengze, how did we come to this boundless reed? Hmph, the slave maid saw that Dou Chang'an was probably playing us as monkeys, and let the slave go back to him to settle accounts. The purple-clothed maid reflexively jumped into the lake again.
The boy in the plain robe grabbed the sleeve of the purple cloth and said, "Qiuli, Qiuli, you are really anxious, although you came out of the bottom of the lake, have you ever seen a way back at the bottom of the lake?"
"But Childe... Ziyi Qiuli curled his mouth and continued: "Then what can I do? What is the difference between this and just leaving the wolf's den and entering the tiger's mouth?"
"Qiu Li, just out of the wolf's den and into the tiger's mouth is not such a usage. The boy in the robe laughed and said: "Senior Dou is the sword god who once called the entire rivers and lakes to bow down, although he is now incognito Yun Mengze, but he will not treat us as monkeys, you might as well walk along this dirt road and see, and ask again when you meet someone." ”
"Bai Yun, what do you think, Miss Yuruo?" asked the plain-robed boy again.
It was like a thousand-year-old cold Zhang Yuruo wrung out his soaked sleeves, looked up at the reeds, and nodded lightly.
"Then let's go according to what Young Master Long said, it's not a way to stay here. Bai Yun also nodded in agreement.
Out of the reeds, it is a vast golden rice field, the boundless golden waves are tumbling and tumbling, the gnats are whispering, and from time to time there are a few jumping on the mud road, and the little monsters who have never been quiet are shuttling back and forth in the rice sea, chasing the grasshoppers all over the field.
"Thousands of miles of fertile fields, the sea of rice is surging, it seems that Senior Dou did not lie to us, this is the boundary of Jingzhou. The plain-robed boy said.
Everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace.
Suddenly, there was a roaring and hissing sound from the human-tall rice fields ahead.
Bai Yunshun looked at it, a couple farming in the field was surrounded by more than a dozen wild boars, the old farmer couple kept waving the scythe in their hands to drive away the pigs, but the wild boars were furious, not only did not retreat but also approached the two step by step.
A wisp of purple clothes burst out, and before it hit the ground, the horizontal qi machine blew the thunderous wild boar herd to pieces.
The leader of the wild boar knew that he had encountered the hard stubble, and he whispered several times in a row, calling out to his partner who had been blown away, and ran into the sea of rice with a run, and there was no sound.
The world is divided into Kyushu, Jingzhou is known as the granary of the world, the ancient saying goes, Jingzhou is familiar with the world, Jingzhou is a simple place, the husband and wife are loyal and honest people, this time the sun is just the meal, in order to thank everyone for saving their lives, the couple had to pull everyone to have a lunch, the hospitality was difficult, everyone had to follow the old farmer and his wife to a thatched hut not far away.
The eyes of the Supao Company wandered in the fields, and occasionally a few shadows could be seen harvesting rice fields in the fields, but most of them were old and weak women and children, and there were no strong people farming in the fields.
The thatched hut was simple, and the old peasant couple led everyone to sit down at the thatched hut table outside the door.
There are guests from afar to be happy, not to mention the life-saving benefactor, the old farmer and his wife are naturally happy to smile, shuttle back and forth between the wooden table and the kitchen, several plates of oil-colored general vegetarian meat dishes are served one after another, this is already the couple rummaging over the cabinet to make out the meal, on weekdays, two people can work in the field with a bowl of gruel and pickles.
"Don't be polite, start your chopsticks quickly. After the busy time, the old farmer also sat around the table.
"Oh, you old man Zhang is really confused, the dishes are served on the table but you don't take the dishes and chopsticks, how do you let the family eat?" the old woman walked out of the kitchen with the dishes and chopsticks, and said angrily.
"I'm confused, rough people don't know what etiquette is, and everyone who can't greet them shouldn't be surprised. The old farmer took the dishes and chopsticks and smiled.
"Where, where, I heard that Jingzhou is simple, and I really don't believe it in the past, just ask how there is a reason in the world to stuff silver into people's pockets if they are cold, but today when I stepped into the boundary of Jingzhou, it really deserved its reputation!"
"Childe said it, if you hadn't come to the rescue, those gang would have had to dig a few holes in our couple after a thousand knives. The old farmer picked up a piece of garlic and white meat and put it in his mouth: "Listening to the accents of a few people, it doesn't look like a Jiangnan person." ”
"Uncle Zhang has good eyesight. The plain robe boy also picked up a piece of garlic white meat with northern flavor and tasted it: "This garlic white meat is the first-class appetizer in the north, but looking at Uncle Zhang's face, the ancestors should have settled in the south for generations, how can it be good?"
The corners of the old farmer's eyes wrinkled slightly: "I enlisted in the army in the north when I was young, at first I thought it was heavy in the army and didn't like to eat it very much, but in winter, the snow in the north was full of snow, and the snow over the knees was cold. ”
"Uncle Zhang enlisted in the army in the north?" said the plain-robed boy in surprise.
The old farmer had microwaves rippling in his eyes, nodded, and picked up a piece of garlic and white meat, but he was not in a hurry to put it in his mouth but took a closer look: "Back then, the Liao people invaded the territory, I was young and full of blood, and my stomach was full of ambition to shed blood for the country and the family, so I went to the north with several brothers of the same clan to join the army, but in the end I came back.
The face of the plain-robed boy is unwavering, but his heart is surging.
"Oops, and a plate of rapeseed stew. The old woman remembered that there was still a dish in the kitchen that had not been served, and hurriedly got up and walked back to the kitchen.
