Chapter 355: Taomanling (2)

A square-faced hunter sighed: "Our ancestral home is Tianshui City, Gannan, and we were able to live a good life, but after the King of Ganzhou rebelled and unified Ganzhou, we had to move here." ”

Xiao Yanyan said curiously: "The officials of the empire are changing the law to exploit the people, how can you live at that time, but now under the rule of the king of Ganzhou, you can't live?"

The square-faced hunter said: "The king of Ganzhou only eliminated the main force of the empire, and the remnants of the imperial army did not dare to confront the Ganzhou rebels head-on, so they simply became bandits, looting in remote towns and villages, their actions were irregular, and when the Ganzhou army heard the wind and rushed to come, they had already slipped away without a trace." ”

Another young hunter said: "The Ganzhou rebels focused on consolidating their rule and building the city-state, and could not spare their hands to manage the villages and towns. This has made us suffer, and now the villages and towns under the jurisdiction of Tianshui City are basically only the old, weak, sick and disabled, and the young and strong have fled. ”

Xiao Yanyan said: "In this way, the rebellion of the King of Ganzhou will do more harm than good to you. ”

The old hunter said: "I can't say that. After all, ninety percent of the people in Ganzhou are living a different life. Then he sighed and said, "But whoever we recruit to provoke will end up leaving our homeland." ”

Zhang Hengtu is elegant, and if he talks too much, he can't help but show his feet, so he tries not to speak, and Xiao Yanyan chats with the hunters all the way.

The two of them promised to show the hunters the way, but in fact they were looking for the thirteen auxiliary points of the Fog Hidden Barrier. When the Shadow Guard casts the enchantment, he uses peach trees as a support, and the support points are the thirteen peach trees scattered all over the place.

Xiao Yanyan looked carefully as he walked, and every time he found an auxiliary point, he inserted an iron dagger with a sea ingot stained with the blood of a hornless rhinoceros into the root of the tree. She asked Zhang Heng to prepare seventeen daggers to prevent the lack of tools due to misjudgment.

Although the hunters followed the two and did not encounter many giant jawed rats along the way, Zhang Heng helped them catch a lot of prey that was not easy to catch, which was a rich harvest for them, and everyone was not dissatisfied.

Zhang Heng does not use true qi, he simply hunts with physical strength, even though his physical strength is extraordinary, after running around in the mountains for an hour, the corners of his forehead are sweaty, and his breathing is heavy.

Everyone rested beside a huge rock, Zhang Heng sat down on the stone, Xiao Yanyan stepped forward, took out a towel, slowly wiped the sweat beads on his forehead and neck, took out the kettle, unscrewed the lid of the kettle, handed it to Zhang Heng, and advised: "Drink slowly." ”

The old hunter saw it in his eyes and said with a smile: "I really envy you two young people, both of you are in your forties and can still be so affectionate, but it is not like me and my mouth, a small quarrel in three days, and a big quarrel in five days." ”

Xiao Yanyan said: "When I marry him, I will be his daughter-in-law, and I will always be good to him and take care of him carefully all my life." ”

Zhang Heng heard the tenderness between her words, turned his head to look, and happened to touch her gentle eye waves, unconsciously his heart fluttered, and he picked up the kettle to drink.

Xiao Yanyan said: "We were born in two wealthy merchant families, and the two families were incompatible because of business competition, so we were severely opposed by everyone on both sides at the beginning, and he was sent by his father to run a business far away from his hometown, and I was locked in the house by my father all day long. ”

"Then I missed him so much that I secretly ran away from home and went to the place where he did business to look for him. When we met, we realized that he missed me very much, so we eloped here, alas, twenty years have passed. ”

Her narration triggered the tenderness in the hearts of the hunters, and the old hunter said: "Although my family was not a rich family, it was much stronger than my family's last meal and no next meal, and when I went to my father-in-law's house to propose marriage, he was also not allowed to marry a thousand or ten thousand, but my mouth just fell in love with me, and I made cooked rice with raw rice, and my father-in-law was half angry to death, so he married her to me." ”

There were a few chuckles around him, and the old hunter also smiled at the corners of his mouth, feeling both ridiculous and sweet about this past, and continued: "Not long after she married me, her father-in-law and mother-in-law passed away one after another, and they did not leave much property, so my family is still very poor. Her greatest wish is to have a fox fur robe. Don't look at me as a hunter, I can catch dozens of foxes every year, and they all have to be sold to pay taxes, and if I really want to save fox skins for her to make a robe, my family's house will be picked up by the officers and soldiers who urge taxes. ”

He looked at the peach branches covered with frost and sighed: "She has been married to me for more than thirty years, and I have said more than a hundred times if she gave her a fox skin robe, but I have not been able to give it to me until now." I really didn't deliberately lie to her, I've worked hard for half my life, and I really can't do anything. ”

"There were a few times when we had a big argument, and then I told her that I must give her a fox skin robe this year, but she also knew that I couldn't do it, but she didn't expose it, but reconciled with me. Such a dream sentence is always useful. ”

The old hunter glanced at Zhang Heng and earnestly persuaded: "Brother, you have to treat your daughter-in-law well, it is really not easy to find such a person who thinks about you wholeheartedly." ”

Zhang Heng listened to Xiao Yanyan's story, and his heart moved: "Could it be that she said that when she came to Ezhou, she made a special trip to join me?" "Thinking about it, hesitating.

As soon as the hour passed, the sky was bright, and the people took out the dry food they had brought, and roasted some animal meat, and after eating, the hunters took their leave, and only two people remained. Xiao Yanyan still had seven daggers left in his hand, and the two of them sped up their movements for fear of staying too long and arousing the suspicion of the Shadow Guard.

Xiao Yanyan suddenly asked, "What about your annoying female disciple, why didn't you see her yesterday?"

Zhang Heng was stunned, and then knew that she was talking about Feng Kexin, and said, "She went back to Minzhou." Miss Xiao, you and her are just a momentary battle of will, why do you want to hurt her behind your back?"

Xiao Yanyan glanced around, looking for the auxiliary point of the enchantment, and said, "It turns out that you still prefer her more in your heart." ”

Zhang Heng said: "If she counts you behind her back, I will stop it." ”

After a while, when Xiao Yanyan inserted the fifteenth dagger into the root of a peach tree, with a whirl, the entire peach tree burst into flames and emitted colorful smoke.

Xiao Yanyan twisted his waist, jumped in the air, stretched out his fingers and popped out six red lights, turning into six beast skulls, suspended around the peach tree, and formed a circle. She raised her hand again, and under a wide yellow cloth, she covered the beast's head and the peach tree.
