Chapter 75: The Great Barren Mountain?
Elder Huang only dictated, so there were some places that he could say roughly and not very clearly, and Jia Yu could only look for it slowly when he arrived at the place.
Jia Yu drove for three days, and finally entered the Z place, and stopped in a small town in the evening. Jia Yu found an inn, planning to take a break and ask people by the way. After the wine and food were served, Jia Yu stopped Xiao Er and stuffed two pieces of silver into his hand.
"Little second brother, I want to ask you something. ”
Xiao Er got the silver, the smile on his face immediately bloomed, he looked around, and saw that there was nothing wrong with him, so he stayed with confidence.
"What do you want to inquire about? Xiao Er said flatteringly.
"But I underestimated you, and you actually spoke in a crepe-like manner, but did you ever go to school? . Jia Yu asked
"Don't laugh at the little one, the little one just heard that Mr. Storyteller said a lot, and he went to school. Xiao Er said embarrassedly.
"I see, has the little second brother ever heard of the Great Wilderness Mountain?" Jia Yu suddenly realized and asked beyond the topic.
"Great Wilderness Mountain, I haven't heard of this small one. Xiao Er thought about it and shook his head and said.
"What about the egg-like peaks?" Jia Yu continued to ask.
"Of course this little one knows, we all call this mountain peak the chicken stone, you may not believe it, the length and width of this chicken stone are more than ten zhang, when the weather is good, you can see it from afar, it is a wonder of our Z place. Xiao Er talked about what he knew, it was like a dragon flying and a phoenix dancing.
"Guest officer, do you want to go to the temple near Jizishi to worship the Buddha, or do you come to see Jizishi?"
"I heard about this strange mountain, come and take a look, by the way, look for this big barren mountain, I heard that the big barren mountain is on the opposite side of this chicken stone, you really haven't heard of it?"
"Guest officer, you are stumped, there are mountains near Jizi Rock, some have names and some don't, the big barren mountain that the guest officer said may be called by the locals, and we outsiders don't understand. Xiao Er saw Jia Yu and asked about the Great Wilderness Mountain again, and replied with a sad face.
"Well, if I can't find it, I should come here to worship the Buddha. Jia Yu could only say this, and Jia Yu asked Xiao Er to leave after asking the direction of Ji Zishi.
After Jia Yu had eaten, he had already planned to take a walk around the town, there were not many such opportunities, at this time, he paid attention to his parents not traveling far, and Jia Yu himself had an official position, so how could he have time to walk around and see.
Jia Yu just walked to the end of the street and found that he was followed by a person, a middle-aged man dressed as a hunter, he didn't follow sneakily, but he was a little girly. Jia Yu laughed for a while, a big man follows him like this, what is this also for.
Jia Yu stopped after a turn, and sure enough, not long after, the Orion hurried to crash into him.
The hunter hurriedly apologized when he saw that he bumped into someone, who knew that when he raised his head and saw that it was Jia Yu, the whole person froze, and Jia Yu patted him on the shoulder.
"This uncle, what's the matter with you following me like this?" Jia Yu asked directly.
"I.... I didn't mean to follow you. That hunter naturally knew that his behavior was not in the light, and he couldn't say it so directly by Jia Yu, so he was so angry that his face was flushed, and he denied it in a hurry.
"In that case, the uncle will not follow anymore. Jia Yu was not angry, he just didn't want to be followed.
"Wait a minute, is Childe looking for the Great Wilderness Mountain?" Orion saw that Jia Yu turned around and was about to leave, so he was anxious and hurriedly stopped Jia Yu.
Jia Yu turned to look at Orion, he wanted to know what Orion wanted to say.
"The little one was selling the game he hunted at the inn just now, and he happened to hear Childe asking the little two. Orion explained, not wanting Jia Yu to think that he had eavesdropped. "The little one didn't eavesdrop on purpose, but he just paid attention to it when he heard about the Great Wilderness Mountain. ”
Jia Yu still didn't speak.
"The small village is on the Great Wilderness Mountain, and when I heard you talk about my village, I paid a little attention to it. Orion continued to explain, and then he lowered his head and took a deep breath, plucking up his courage and saying, "Childe, you give the little one ten taels of silver, and the little one will take you to the Great Wilderness Mountain." ”
"That's it, you only need ten taels of silver?" asked Jia Yu in surprise, ten taels of silver is not too much but too little, and this hunter has come here from the inn for this little silver.
"It's just ten taels of silver, it can't be less, son, if you look for it yourself, it's not that I underestimate you, even if you don't find the Great Wilderness Mountain for half a month. Orion thought that Jia Yu was too much, so he was busy saying a few words.
Jia Yu took out twenty taels from his arms and stuffed them into Orion's hand, and Orion saw that Jia Yu gave more, so he hurriedly wanted to give Jia Yu back.
"Take it, I see that you are also in a hurry, otherwise a man would not ask for money like this. Jia Yu returned the money to his bosom.
"When is Childe going to leave? If it's now, can you wait a little longer? Orion's eyes were red, he really needed the silver, otherwise he could take Jia Yu back without taking the money.
"Don't worry, you go and do your business, and come to the inn just now tomorrow morning to find me." Jia Yu said that he had planned to rest for a night before going on the road.
Orion thanked him and explained that he would wait for Jia Yu at the inn tomorrow before leaving in a hurry.
Jia Yu naturally won't be afraid that Orion will not keep his word, twenty taels can see a person clearly, Jia Yu feels that it is worth it, but Orion did not disappoint Jia Yu.
The next day, Jia Yu went downstairs, and Orion was already waiting for him there, and when he saw him come down, he called "Childe".
Jia Yu nodded and beckoned Orion to sit down, "Have you had breakfast?"
"The small one brought a few steamed buns. Orion shook his head, picked up his baggage, and said.
"The steamed buns were kept as dry food on the road. Without waiting for Orion's reaction, Jia Yu beckoned Xiao Er to order a meal for two individuals.
Jia Yu chatted with Orion, Orion's original surname was Li, and he had lived on the Great Wilderness Mountain since he was a child, and there were more than a dozen families in the Great Wilderness Mountain, relying on the mountains to eat the mountains, most of them lived by hunting, and their lives were not rich, but they were also peaceful. However, Li Orion's father was seriously ill and needed to use ginseng as medicine, and Li Orion's family had the money to buy ginseng. I saw my father in pain every day. Li Orion had no choice but to go into the mountains to try his luck.
However, Li Orion's luck was not good, he hunted two pheasants in the mountains for more than ten days, and only when he went to the town to see what work was done, who knew that he met Jia Yu.
"Do you need my brother's help?" Jia Yu asked.
"No need, I bought ginseng slices yesterday with the amount of silver that Gongzi gave me, and it's enough. Li Orion shook his head.
The Great Wilderness Mountain is not very far from this town, and Jia Yu and Li Orion returned to the village three days later, but strangely there is no quiet figure in the village.
