Chapter 9: Jiangxia County (1)
On the shore of the East Lake in Jiangxia County, the slanting sun is reflected on the lake, which is brilliant and beautiful.
In the county under the jurisdiction of any tribe, there are generally a number of forbidden lands planned for the cultivation of various precious herbs.
In addition to curing diseases and saving lives, these herbs can also be used to make acceleration pills.
Jiangxia County is one of the counties under the jurisdiction of the Zhensoul Tribe, and East Lake is the forbidden land of Jiangxia County. With the lake as the center, the lakeside within a radius of more than ten miles is in the boundary of the forbidden land.
There are dozens of precious herbs such as the nine-story pagoda, rotten bone flower, and dragon grass planted here. Among them, the nine-story pagoda is the main raw material for making acceleration pills, so East Lake has always been a forbidden place with the strictest management of the Soul Suppression Tribe: except for the pharmacist, there are also medicine children who specialize in collecting medicines, and no one is allowed to enter without permission.
In the non-medicine collection season, according to the regulations, it is impossible for anyone to be on the shore of the lake, but I saw a man with black hair, dressed in a crimson wide-sleeved robe, sitting cross-legged in front of a big stone, and his untied black hair was blown by the breeze from time to time, dancing with the wind, and he had a kind of unruly style.
The lake and the mountains, the breeze and the rock, there are bandits and gentlemen, dragons and phoenixes.
A beautiful splashed ink landscape painting!
If there is a young girl, she must be in love for this back.
However, if you look at it a little, you will find that the ink-haired man's movements are a little strange, and if you listen closely, he seems to be humming some kind of Jiangnan minor tune full of charm:
"Roast hens, I like to eat them the most, eat the chicken legs first, then gnaw the claws, and then bite the chicken head, let's chirp ......"
The black-haired man's chanting was overwhelming, only to find that in front of him, there was a fire made of dead branches and weeds.
The fire was not large, and it was hidden in a sheltered place behind a boulder, blocked by the man's tall body, and it was completely undetectable from a distance.
The ink-haired man's movements were as graceful as a crane, but he was roasting a chicken on the fire! Flipping from side to side, pulling the fire from time to time, the technique was extremely skillful, and the whole little hen was roasted golden and attractive, and people couldn't help but move their index fingers.
The little hen skewered on the finger-thick bamboo chisel is scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and it is obvious that the time has come.
With a "bang", the man couldn't help but swallow a large mouthful of saliva, and the gluttonous insects in his stomach were already a little impatient.
Before he could begin to feast, a sharp and rapid bamboo whistle sounded in the distance, coming from near the city gate.
The black-haired man couldn't help but be stunned, as the Taishou of Jiangxia County, he couldn't understand what the bamboo whistle of three short and two long meant.
"Someone invaded?" the man stood up, his long inky hair flying back, revealing a handsome face.
He waved his left hand wide sleeve, swept the hundreds of pounds of bluestone into the air and rolled it, smashed it on the fire impartially, raised a piece of grass clippings and ashes, and the other hand was still tightly grasping the bamboo chisel with the roast chicken.
Without hesitation, he tapped his toes on the ground, and his whole body floated up like a crimson petal, seemingly without strength, but with great speed and swiftness towards the city gate.
