Chapter 15: Insect Corpses II
It was Nagu's voice. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The night was already deep, and the tiger fur on my body had dried a lot, but I was still open, and I woke up with a chill on my body.
What is he doing here at this time? The tone of his voice is not like speaking in the house, although there are two members of the Sky Wolf Clan guarding the house, they do not speak the Central Plains dialect.
I was thinking about it when I heard another person outside the door: "Sir, there has been no movement inside for a long time, they have eaten bear meat, and it seems that they are asleep." The tone was very stiff, and it was Grard's voice.
Outside the door, Nagu answered softly and said, "There's nothing for you here, stand down." ”
"Yes. ”
Grard said no more, and I heard footsteps fading away from the door. I wrapped my clothes tightly and sat up straight, looking at the wooden door, and wondered if Nagu would push the door in, and what would happen.
At this time, the moonlight was faint in the room, and the moonlight that repeatedly shone through the cracks in the wooden wall was like spears across Ramru and Ato, and the room was filled with a faint smell of ashes burned by firewood. However, there was no movement outside the door, and the wooden door was not pushed open.
After a while, Nagu outside suddenly said lightly: "Friend Gu, if you have woken up, come out and see you." ”
I was stunned, a little caught off guard, but I didn't expect him to say this suddenly, but I was even more curious. This wizard of the Celestial Wolf Clan seems to have an unusual intelligence, and although I have only seen his back, I have admired his ability to help before. Now he had expected that I had not slept peacefully, and that he would not be able to say anything more if he sat in the room and waited in such a self-righteous manner.
Thinking about it, I got up, opened the door and walked out.
Outside, the moonlight is bright, like a blue lamp hanging on the canopy, pouring down the moonlight like water, although it is late at night, the scene everywhere is faintly visible. The night in the Western Regions is very different from that of the Central Plains, compared to the lower levels, the night here is more quiet, the night sky is also unusually clean, and the moon hanging in the sky seems to be close at hand.
Under the old tree in front of the house, quietly, a person was standing. In the moonlight, I could see his appearance, but he was a middle-aged man of medium stature with a slight beard, wearing a loose robe, and holding a large yellow gourd in his right hand, and the rattan hanging from the old tree hung above his head like a curtain.
He is Nagu, and he is good-looking, much more cheerful than the people of their tribe. I stepped forward, bowed to him, and said, "Hello, Mr. Nagu." ”
Na Gu smiled and said, "I have been sleepless all night, I specially came to have a drink with my newly made friends, this is the special soil plum wine of the Heavenly Wolf Clan, Gu Friends can taste it." As he spoke, he raised his arm and threw the big yellow gourd in his hand.
I took the gourd, but it was quite heavy, and I realized that this gourd was not the main thing on the vine, but was actually made of clay, and it seemed to contain a lot of wine.
I opened the cork of the gourd, put it between my nose and smelled it, only to feel a strong smell of wine overflowing from the gourd, and there was a vague smell of medicine in it.
In his ears, the ancient voice sounded: "Tu Meizi was born under the cold rock, it has the miraculous effect of passing through the meridians and soothing the meridians, with the bitter gall of the newborn black bear, this wine is only brewed in winter every year, the land of the wolf is shabby, and the wine brewed is not as delicious as your Middle Earth, but it is enough to make Gu Youren's body recover, hehe." ”
I couldn't help but wonder more and more, I hadn't heard of plums, but I had drunk wine made from bear bile, and it was indeed a great tonic. There is a herb shop in the west of Chenzhou City, called Xiangmutang, the boss Mi Quanqing, is a person from Liuzhou, and I have a good relationship, the dart bureau often has business dealings with his Xiangmutang, and many of his herbal goods need to be transported to other states and counties, and they are also escorted by the brothers of my dart bureau. Mi Quanqing is a businessman, in addition to trading herbs, his biggest hobby is to drink this bear bile wine. There is bear bile wine given by Mi Quanqing in the basement of my dart bureau, which is also due to the inevitable physical injury of the dart, and the brothers in the dart game are bruised and injured, and drinking some bear bile wine will get better faster.
These thoughts popped into my head, and I looked at the gourd in my hand, but immediately said in my mouth: "Thank you Mr. for the wine, but, why is Mr. like this?"
Na Gu didn't answer me, just waved his hand and said, "Friends Gu might as well taste this wine first." ”
What the hell was he trying to do? I was confused by him, but I was confident that he had no ill intentions, or he wouldn't have taken Gerard and the others out of the way and chosen to attack me at this time.
"Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate. ”
I glanced at him, picked up the gourd and poured it into my mouth. As soon as I took the wine, I felt that my mouth was full of spicy wine, but it was a few points stronger and spicier than the ordinary spirits on the street stalls, but after taking such a sip, I also noticed the difference in this plum wine, only that when the wine entered the throat, the mouth was full of wine and left not the smell of wine, but a sweet medicinal smell, and the wine did not flow into the stomach without that hot feeling, but a kind of mild warmth.
When I took a sip of wine, I still had the taste of this plum wine in my mouth, but it was a fragrant taste that seemed like wine but not wine, like medicine but not medicine, and it was indeed a rare good wine. I only heard Na Gu smile and said, "Friend Gu, how does my Heavenly Wolf Clan's Earth Plum Wine taste?"
I smiled and said, "Sir, this wine is excellent." ”
He shook his head casually, and said with a smile: "It's just shoddy and shoddy wine, if Gu Youren likes it, take this pot of wine." ”
I couldn't help but say, "Sir, I don't know what's going on at such a late call?"
The ancient said: "But there is an inquiry. He paused, turned to look down the slope, the moon shadow was miserable, soft as a match, the rows of low houses on the slope had long since disappeared, and it was dark all around, but he could faintly see the wolf people holding spears swaying back and forth in the dark. After a pause, he turned his head and said, "Friend Gu, you are a member of the Seven Great Sects of the Central Plains, right?"
I was taken aback, a little surprised.
Of course, I am not a member of the Seven Great Sects, but it is an indisputable fact that this trip to the Western Regions is accompanied by the Seven Great Sects. This time, the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall competed in the Death Swamp, and the number of people on both sides had reached nearly 20,000, this kind of formation could be said to be huge, and it had already shocked the entire rivers and lakes, and it would inevitably shake the forces of all parties in the Western Regions, and it was a matter of course for the people of the Western Regions tribes to know that the Seven Great Sects and the Immortal Hall were completely natural. Perhaps, in the eyes of the disciples of several major sects, I have already regarded me as a person from Youyun Villa, then in the eyes of outsiders, I am afraid that I am a disciple of the seven major sects.
However, I am only one of the followers of more than 10,000 people from the Seven Great Gates, who have been displaced from the Death Swamp alone, and now I am dressed up in this rags, and this Sky Wolf Clan does not know how far away from the Death Swamp, so how did Gu decide that I am a member of the Seven Great Sects? Could this just be his speculation?
Indeed, this man's mind is not simple.
I looked at him and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I'm mistaken, I have already said before, I am just a Chenzhou dart, and I only fell here because I met bandits here." ”
Even if I am really a member of the Seven Great Sects, I will not be stupid enough to make my position so easy, the Immortal Hall is in the Western Regions, and now although it is said to be in decline, if it is said that there are no Immortal Hall disciples in the tribes of the Western Regions, I don't believe it. I don't know what the current situation of the Seven Great Sects is, I am concerned about this matter, and I don't want to cause trouble, it would be great if I didn't run into someone from the Immortal Hall. I thought of this when we came to the Sky Wolf Tribe, and I really don't know where I am now, so it's always good to be careful. It's because I'm afraid to say for sure that I'm here to bet, but that's true.
Nagu groaned for a moment and said, "Are you really here to dart?"
His words were full of disbelief, and I had heightened my vigilance, and now even I could not figure out the details of him, so I stubbornly said, "Yes, it is the silk goods that are being escorted." ”
He turned his head, still looking at the cottage downhill, as if he was thinking about something. In the sky, the moonlight ripples, and the surrounding grass thinks about insects from time to time. I was still standing in front of the wooden house, and looking at me, his back had a sense of vicissitudes that had been baptized by the years.
After a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "You are a member of the Seven Great Sects, and you escaped from the Death Swamp, right?"
As soon as these words came out, I was shocked again. If he could have guessed that I was a member of the Seven Great Sects just now, but this time he could tell that I had escaped from the Swamp of Death, then he guessed too accurately. Who is he and what does he want to do?
