Chapter 9: The Caravan
Now at the beginning of May, the carriage has just driven out of Chen Guo and entered a mountain range, and I only feel that the hot air is suddenly cool. Jiang Lili took off his coat and wore only a coarse cloth vest to practice knives in the forest.
Cheng Ru is mood is still a little low, and he is being called by Jiang Lili to touch the fish at this time. Although he was a little absent-minded, the fisherman's children who came from the sea still had excellent fishing skills, and after touching five or six fat big carps, Jiang Lili was able to finish practicing the knife.
Glancing at Cheng Rus, Jiang Lili said: "What? This is all out of Chen Guo, you still look like this? Don't you know that the only people in this world are scholars and girls? Tell me if you are a girl or a scholar?"
"Scholar, scholar!" Cheng Ru replied loudly.
"Fart scholar," Jiang Lili looked disdainful, "You are just a bald monk, can you still be a scholar?"
Speaking of this, Cheng Ru hurriedly put on the hat that was a little crooked on his head, and he was indeed a little affected by touching the fish just now, and now his head was already densely covered with beads of sweat.
I lit a bonfire, cleaned the fish by the stream, and then put a wooden stick on it and roasted it on the fire, and it didn't take long to smell the aroma, which provoked the two people who had already hollowed out their stomachs to salivate.
Unhurriedly sprinkled spices on the fish, Cheng said: "Have you seen it? Grilled fish is to have a steady hand, but also to look at the heat, otherwise one side is burnt, and the other side is not cooked, how can people eat?"
The generosity of the taste buds called Cheng Ru's depressed mood rose slightly, and he showed off his skills, triumphant.
It's just that I have to say that Cheng Ru's ability to grill fish is still excellent, compared to the one in Jiang Lili's hand, not to mention the taste, just talking about the appearance has already thrown Jiang Lili a few streets.
Jiang Lili snorted from his nose, "Ouch, look at what you can do, don't you just know how to grill fish?"
Cheng Ru smiled, "Can you not be so sour when you speak? I know you are jealous! Look at the one in your hand, how do you eat it?"
"Am I jealous?" Jiang Lili was annoyed, snatched Cheng Ruyi's grilled fish, and threw it into Cheng Ruyi's hand. Cheng Ru hurriedly caught it, and before he could speak, he saw Jiang Lili take a big bite, and said: "Since your ability is so high, then the fish in the future will be called to roast you!"
Cheng Ru's face was bitter, and he secretly arranged Jiang Lili in his heart that this person was really unreasonable, but there was no way, so he had to sigh and continue to do the work that he should have done.
After taking two exams in a row, Jiang Lili snatched them over, and Cheng Ru's stomach was empty, looking at the fish bones on the ground and crying without tears.
Fortunately, Jiang Lili was still a little "righteous", and waved his hand, "I'm full, and I'll give you the rest!"
Yes, it's unlucky, otherwise where can this person be put on the stall?
It's just past noon, and it's the hottest time of the day. After squatting next to the bonfire for half an hour, Cheng Ru was roasted all over, and the sweat on his body couldn't stop flowing down. He took off his coat, then his robe, and finally his boots, but he was reluctant to take off the cotton hat on his head.
It's really sweating!
Jiang Lili laughed loudly: "Cheng Zhaohua, you are really sick in your brain, why are you so rare about your hat?
Is there only one of us in this mountain forest, and you are afraid that your bald head will be seen by others?"
Cheng Ru straightened his hat slightly, and said with a smile: "If you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what if, what if there is someone?"
"If there are people, they can only be ghosts!" Jiang Lili lay on the carriage and squinted slightly, "I don't bother to care about you, but I can say well, if you are fainted by the heat, I will not care about you, just teach you to be swallowed by bears and wolves here, and there are no bones left!"
Cheng Ru pursed his lips and didn't reply, but after looking left and right for a long time, he slowly took off his hat.
The bald head was particularly eye-catching, and Jiang Lili immediately burst out laughing.
"Don't laugh! what's so funny?" Cheng Ru looked angry, took out a sweat towel from his arms and wiped his head, and the nine ring scars on his bald head were conspicuous.
Jiang Lili was rarely angry, he waved his hand, patted the horse's buttocks, and took the package and put it under his head, "Forget it, I've seen a lot, don't smile, don't laugh." Hurry up and grill the fish, we'll have to hurry later! I won't spare you if you lose time!"
"I know, I know!" Cheng Ru waved his hand, looked around vigilantly, and saw that no one was going straight hehe, he smiled, thinking that this bald head is not to say anything else, it is still cool, if everyone in the world is bald, it would be good, and he didn't have to hide it.
This thought flashed through Cheng Ru's mind and he immediately denied it, no, Miss Ji's green hair is so good-looking, how can it be bald?
I laughed when I thought about it, I was annoyed when I thought about it, I sighed when I thought about it, and I got stuck when I thought about the grilled fish in my hand.
Jiang Lili fell asleep slightly, and all she heard was the sound of empty and long birdsong and burning flames.
After calming down, Cheng Ru felt that the surroundings were a little colder, and when he was about to put on his coat, he only heard the sound of the grass and trees behind him, but there was no wind!
Cheng Ru raised his heart, he only thought that there was a bear or a tiger behind him. I didn't dare to wake up Jiang Lili, for fear that the thing would pounce on me and bite off half of my head!
The sound of "brushing" became clearer and closer, and Cheng Ru's hands trembled slightly, and he clenched the stick in his hand, thinking that if that thing dared to go any further, he would turn around and knock the stick on its head!
At that time, Jiang Lili should have heard the movement, and she was going to wake up!
It's a pity that the grilled fish at the front of the stick is roasted for nothing!
The voice was close, close to the distance within ten steps behind Cheng Ru is back, Cheng Ru took a sharp breath, lifted the wooden stick and roared, and turned around and was about to chop the wooden stick off his head when he saw a middle-aged man in his thirties standing behind him.
Cheng Ru was stunned.
The man was dressed in a gray coat and covered with scratches from walking through the woods, and he was stunned, presumably frightened by Cheng Ru.
Jiang Lili woke up with a shout from Cheng Ru, and was just about to scold when she saw the middle-aged man. He didn't get up, he just wanted to scold Shang Chengru for two long sentences. When he saw the comer, he frowned, took the tiger sword placed next to him, and jumped out of the carriage
came down and looked at the man coldly.
"Don't do it, don't do it, I'm a human being, I'm a good person!" the middle-aged man explained helplessly.
Jiang Lili pursed her lips, and sat down after noticing that the man was not half threatening, but her eyes did not take her eyes off the man.
Cheng Ru suddenly shouted again at this time, bent down to pick up the hat on the ground and put it on, and found that the grilled fish had fallen to the ground, and his face was bitter again.
"This master," the middle-aged man cautiously made a Buddhist salute towards Cheng Ru.
"Blind your dog's eyes, Lao Tzu is not a monk!"
"Okay, good, donor!" The middle-aged man was a little flustered when Cheng Ru yelled, and the word "donor" came out of his mouth.
Chengru's face turned blue.
Jiang Lili ate and laughed.
After this man's explanation, I realized that this man really didn't have much malice, he was originally from Houliang, and he was a miscellaneous man in a big family in Houliang, and this trip was to go to South Korea with the caravan in the family. I just met some robbers here, and although I kept the goods after the fight, I don't know which one led the battle to the carriage where the water was stored, and most of the water flowed into the mountains after a chaotic battle. There was no way, so I had to send someone to find water in the surroundings, so this honest and honest middle-aged man who couldn't speak was sent out. Originally, when he saw Cheng Ruyi, he just planned to ask Cheng Ru for the news of the water source, but who knew that Cheng Ru was acting like this, which scared him stupid.
Cheng Ru looked incredulous, "You said you came to me to inquire about the news? Then why didn't you call me? Do you have to walk behind me cautiously? I think you are an assassin, you are here to assassinate me!"
"No, it's not... I am not an assassin ... No.. The middle-aged man hurriedly explained.
"Then why don't you make a sound?" Cheng Ru asked in a cold voice.
The man's face turned red and he replied, "I don't dare... fear of disturbing you ... ”
Cheng Ru has a headache.
When he was interrogating this person, he suddenly heard another movement behind him, and Jiang Lili clenched his knife and stared at the place where he came from.
Cheng Ru hurriedly hid behind Jiang Lili, and the middle-aged man thought about it for a long time, and slowly followed suit.
Cheng Ru scolded: "What are you doing?"
"I'm afraid... The middle-aged man replied timidly.
"I don't know you again, get out of the way!"
The middle-aged man shook his head very stiffly at this time.
The grass and trees were torn apart, and an extremely large convoy came over, led by dozens of warriors with mountain swords in their hands. Jiang Lili licked her lips and squinted slightly.
But there was a sudden shout behind him, Jiang Lili's ears were shaken a little, and he turned his head to stare at Cheng Rushi, but saw Cheng Rushi staring at the middle-aged man.
It turned out that the convoy that came was the caravan to which the middle-aged man belonged, perhaps because the middle-aged man had not returned for a long time, or perhaps because someone else had discovered the water source here, so the caravan rushed straight here.
Jiang Lili didn't think to pay attention to these people, but after the caravan sent people to the river to fetch water, a warrior who looked like a guard came. The martial artist walked straight in front of Cheng Ru is and asked with a frown, "Aren't you hot?"
