Chapter 12: The Camp
The person who carried Chu Xuan on his shoulders didn't care what Chu Xuan thought in his heart, and even more ignored Chu Xuan's weakness, he threw him into the hard prisoner car casually with a plop, glanced at it with disdain, locked the door of the prisoner car and left.
Chu Xuan couldn't help coughing a few times when he was thrown like this, but it was okay, he was finally able to feel the pain, which showed that his perception was returning little by little.
The iron prison cart was large and cold, and there were damp droplets of water running down it. There were no less than a dozen people in it at this time, all huddled in the corner, their bodies dirty, trembling, their faces full of panic and indifference.
Regarding Chu Xuan's appearance, these people just glanced at it casually and looked away, not caring about Chu Xuan's life or death at all.
That's right, they can't protect themselves, how can they still have the energy and mood to care about the life and death of others.
Chu Xuan crawled with difficulty, although his body was tied, but he may have seen Chu Xuan's dying, the person who tied it did not use force, but simply tied it up, which allowed Chu Xuan to still move, leaned heavily on the wet prisoner car, let out a long breath, glanced at the others, and couldn't help but frown.
The people in the prisoner car were all wearing animal skins, and their forms were all barbarian people, that is, the barbarians in the mouths of those just now, Chu Xuan didn't understand, those people just now were wearing clothes and their voices and tones were definitely not barbaric people, so what did they do with these barbarian people?
At this moment, a few horses neighed, and the heavy prisoner cart moved slowly, walking on the muddy road, and the bumps were uncomfortable.
Chu Xuan looked at the heavy carriage dragged by eight black horses, and all those people just now were walking behind, talking and laughing, not worrying about the carriage moving forward at all.
The seven people, all dressed in coarse cloth robes, dressed in a completely different way from the people in the wilderness, armed with spears and big knives, are a bit fierce. Compared with the tall and strong bodies of people in the wilderness, they are obviously thin and small, but Chu Xuan does not dare to despise these people at all, there are many strong men in the prison car, but they are not strong enough to be tied up by the five flowers.
And these people are obviously very cautious, even a weak person like Chu Xuan has to be tied up.
Being so passive, I don't know where I was taken, and the taste of being slaughtered by others is not pleasant, Chu Xuan looked at the seven people, and asked weakly, "A few big brothers, may I ask, what day is today?"
The seven people who followed the carriage were obviously stunned, they did not expect that one of these barbarians would take the initiative to talk to them, and in normal times, the communication between them and the barbarians was only life and death, swords, and blood.
One person looked at Chu Xuan curiously, and when he saw Chu Xuan's half-dead look, he sneered, "Why are you asking this, see if today is an auspicious day for the zodiac, and if it is not good to go out, it's a pity, it's late, haha." ”
Everyone laughed.
The other barbarian people in the prison car also glanced at Chu Xuan, their eyes were flat, like dead people.
In the face of ridicule, Chu Xuan still looked calm, and still asked, "Excuse me, what day is today?"
The person who was laughing just now looked at Chu Xuan again, stopped the ridicule, and looked at it for a while before saying, "It's okay to tell you, today is the third day of the seventh month." ”
"The third day of the seventh month?" Chu Xuan was stunned, and then Zou Mei, "Seven days?"
That's right, the day of the sacrifice in Snake Spirit Village is June 27, what happened after falling off the cliff on that day? For seven days, why didn't I have any impression at all, and where were Xiaowei and Lei Hu?
Seeing that Chu Xuan was silent, the seven of them snorted coldly again, thinking that Chu Xuan was calculating his good life.
The sun was slanting westward, and the scorching sun shone on Chu Xuan's body, evaporating the moisture on his body, making his cold body recover his temperature little by little.
"A few big brothers, may I ask, where is this?" Chu Xuan asked again.
The seven of them all looked at Chu Xuan curiously, this barbarian was really strange, and he had a lot to say.
The person who was the first to answer just now smiled and said, "This is the Cloud Forest." ”
Chu Xuan was stunned, the Cloud Mist Forest? Legend is the edge of the wilderness, and it is not less than thousands of miles away from the original Snake Spirit Village, this is still a legend, how far it is, Chu Xuan doesn't know, after all, he has grown so big, he has never stepped out of the Snake Spirit Village.
Seven days, seven days without memory.
Seven days, thousands of miles away.
Seeing Chu Xuan's eyebrows, the man asked, "You barbarian is not a barbarian here?"
"Yes, it's not. Chu Xuan nodded, his face without the fear and timidity of other barbarians.
Oh, the seven people understand, then it's not surprising that this barbarian has so many problems, but whether it is a barbarian here or not, I can only blame you for your bad fate.
"Big brothers, where are we going?" asked Chu Xuan.
"A good place to go. ”
Chu Xuan nodded, "The prisoner cart will open the way, and that will be the place of death." ”
The seven of them did not speak, but there was a positive answer in their eyes.
It's really unlucky, I just got out of the tiger's mouth, and I didn't expect to enter the wolf's den again.
Chu Xuan struggled for a while, but found that the rope that bound his hands and feet suddenly tightened a little, good means, the more he struggled, the tighter it became, it seemed that he had to think of other ways.
Chu Xuan cautiously touched his waist, but found that there was nothing.
"Hmph," a cold snort came, "don't waste your efforts, boy, your knife is here." One person sneered contemptuously, shook the Chu Xuan flying knife in his hand, and threw it on the side of the road.
Chu Xuan glanced at it and said nothing.
Difficult rope sheaths, lost sharp weapons, sturdy cages, and seven men with carefully armed blades, it is impossible to escape.
However, knowing that death is in front of him, sitting back and waiting for death is not Chu Xuan's character.
Seeing Chu Xuan give up the struggle, as if resigned to his fate, the seven people smiled disdainfully, they were used to seeing the resignation after such a struggle, anyway, there was no wave in their hearts.
At this moment, there was a hurried sound of horses' hooves, and a tall horse rushed to stop in front of the prisoner's cart.
Seeing that someone was blocking the road, the eight black horses naturally stopped, and the seven people hurriedly stepped forward and shouted respectfully, "Captain!"
The middle-aged man in black on the tall horse glanced at the prisoner cart and nodded with satisfaction, "Yes, the number of people is enough, hurry up, the camp is three miles ahead." ”
"Sanli? so fast!"
"Well," the black-clothed middle-aged man warned, "you'd better be careful, the immortals have already arrived at the camp, pay attention to your words and deeds, if you accidentally annoy the immortals and lose your life, don't blame me for not reminding you." ”
"Yes!" the seven shouted respectfully.
Immortals?
Chu Xuan was puzzled, is there really an immortal?
The carriage quickened speed, and in a short time, he saw a clearing with hundreds of oilcloth tents, too many people patrolling with large swords and spears, and everyone's face was nervous, and they didn't even dare to make too much noise when they walked, as if they were afraid of annoying something.
The carriage stopped, and Chu Xuan found that there were no less than ten prisoner carts here, each of which had at least ten people on it, and there were more than 100 barbarian people imprisoned here.
None of the hundreds of people made a sound, and each of them had a haggard and dead ash on their faces, and at this time they no longer had the courage and fierceness of the people in the wilderness in the past, but they were lifeless.
The Cloud Forest is the edge of the wilderness, bordering the vast northern land, I heard that the people in the wilderness here have long lost the wildness and murderous spirit of fighting with wild beasts, and the people in the wilderness here can no longer become savages, although they still live in the barren forest, but they have begun to farm.
"You dog mongrels have the ability to let Lao Tzu go and fight with Lao Tzu for three hundred rounds!"
Suddenly, an angry roar came, echoing throughout the camp, the sound was as dull as thunder, shocking.
Chu Xuan couldn't help but look, only to see that not far away, there was a person tied between two big trees, tall, muscular, bulging piece by piece, full of explosive power, cloaked in hair, at a glance, his body was full of wildness and murderous aura.
This is the breath that people in the wilderness should have!
The man looked to be only twenty years old, and his body was covered with large and small blood marks, some of which were already scarred, while others were still bleeding, and he looked much more terrifying. The man's hands and feet were stretched by the thick thorn vines, tying them between the two trees, and each time the man struggled, the spikes on the thorn vines went deeper, and the blood flowed for a long time, and the pain was abnormal.
However, the man didn't care about it, let the blood flow for a long time, and he had to scold it.
"Damn, a bunch of useless women are crumbs, let go of Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu will pinch your heads!"
The people here seemed to have become accustomed to the man's scolding, and all of them turned a deaf ear.
Chu Xuan looked at the man, interesting.
