The next day, before dawn, Zhang Muye still reluctantly got up. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 ο½‰ο½Žο½†ο½

In fact, Zhang Dali had already told him that it was best to set off at the beginning of the day, and it was just dawn when he walked more than 20 miles out of the city, and when he just arrived at the foot of the Xuanwu Mountains, the light was sufficient, and there would not be much danger in walking the mountain road.

A little earlier, before dawn, you have to walk the mountain road, and a little later, you may not be able to walk out of the Xuanwu Mountains after dark at night. That's why it was said that the time was just right, and of course Xiang Yu was not the time to say it casually.

Rubbing his eyes and going down to the first floor, Xiang Yu and the three of them were already waiting for them at the door, and of course Zhao Wushuang didn't have a good face for him next to him. Zhang Muye yawned and said, "Ha...... Yes...... It's really tired from running all the way yesterday, and I slept too deeply, so I tired Brother Xiang waiting here. ”

Xiang Yu hurriedly said: "We haven't waited long, and now that the time has just arrived, Brother Zhao came at the right time." ”

Zhang Muye heard him say Brother Zhao, he looked confused, looked left and right, and didn't see anyone else, so he thought of bragging to the other party last night, saying that his name was Zhao Zilong, and he didn't react in a daze in the morning, and he thought he was talking to others.

He coughed, hiding his embarrassment, and said with a smile: "That's good, our side is fully prepared, and now we can go." ”

Xiang Yu nodded and went out with Zhao Wushuang. Outside, Zhang Dali, Jiang Chuan, and Zhang Xiaofang had already led their horses, and the group rode on their horses and set off for the west gate of Shouchun.

Instead, Zhao Wushuang glanced at the Jade Lion of the Night under Zhang Muye's seat, and muttered in a low voice: "Although this Night White is majestic and beautiful, if it encounters an enemy under the cover of this night, I am afraid that it will immediately become a live target." ”

When she spoke, she was next to Zhang Muye, as if she deliberately said it to him, Zhang Muye ignored him, slapped the horse's buttocks, and ran to the city gate first.

After walking for about an hour, the sky gradually brightened, and the Xuanwu Mountains in front of them slowly appeared in front of everyone.

The Xuanwu Mountains run north-south, spanning an extremely long distance, separating Peiyun and Yunzhou, and now they have crossed from this mountain range to the realm of Yunzhou.

The Xuanwu Mountains are continuous, with a wide depth, like a moat. It's just that there is a very short mountain road from Shouchun, spanning only forty or fifty miles. But even after taking this shortcut, the mountain road is rugged, and the snow has been covered with heavy snow some time ago, and it will take a day to ride a horse.

When walking on the mountain road, Zhang Dali and Xiang Yu took the lead in the front, followed by Zhao Wushuang and Jiang Chuan, Zhang Muye and the four of them hung at the back, Xiaolian and Xiaofang were much more honest at this time, carefully controlling the reins, for fear of rolling down the mountain road if they were not careful.

All the way down is also safe and steady, Xiang Yu chatted with Zhang Dali from time to time in front, the third uncle and the third uncle shouted shortly, Zhang Dali, anyway, he has been perfunctory according to the routine that Zhang Muye said yesterday.

As for Zhao Wushuang's pretty face, with a disdainful expression of disdain to talk to Zhang Muye, Zhang Muye naturally didn't bother to talk to this stinky woman.

However, Xiaolian walked for a while and was no longer as nervous as she was at the beginning, and said with a smile: "It is said that there are monsters in this Xuanwu Mountain, so scared that I don't dare to make a sound, I didn't expect to walk such a long way and I didn't see it, and this mountain and deep forest is just like that." ”

Zhang Muye also smiled: "The little lotus woman is still afraid of monsters, it's really a strange news, I should have walked for so long and the monster didn't come out, because I learned that the little lotus woman was here, and I didn't dare to come out and be presumptuous." ”

Zhang Xiaofang also came up and joked: "I heard Uncle Dapeng say that women are like tigers, then Xiaolian, you are the king of the jungle, what beasts are you afraid of?"

Xiaolian was anxious, and looked at Xiaolan pitifully and said, "Sister Xiaolan, you see that the young master and Xiaofang are bullying. ”

Before Xiaolan could speak, she heard Xiang Yu shouting in front of her: "It's almost noon, everyone get off the horse and rest for a while and eat something." ”

Zhang Muye and a few people dismounted and walked to the front, and saw Xiang Yu mentioning two rabbits and said with a smile, "Originally, I said that I would eat dry food to deal with it, but I didn't think much of it, and two stupid rabbits jumped in front of me and hit the tree, so I simply got off the horse and made a fire and roasted some rabbit meat." ”

Zhang Muye had some doubts, "In this winter, the mountains are full of snow, what do you use to make a fire, and how are you going to clean up this rabbit?"

Xiang Yu smiled indifferently, "Brother Zhao doesn't have to worry too much, just look at me." After that, he called Jiang Chuan, and went into the forest.

After a while, the two of them came back with a bag of dead leaves, fruits, and the like, as well as two pheasants.

Seeing Zhang Muye looking over curiously, Xiang Yu held up the leaves and fruits and said, "These are taken out of the squirrel's nest, the leaves can make a fire, and the fruits can be eaten." He pointed to the two pheasants in Jiang Chuan's hand, "As for these two pheasants, they were brought back casually when they passed by, and in the winter, the pheasants were very stunned." ”

Zhang Muye gave a thumbs up, Xiang Yu smiled and continued to be busy.

I saw him use a dagger to cut the bark from the tree, and then roll up the four sides, and use a clip made of branches to clip the four corners to make a simple pot. A fire was lit, snow was poured into it, boiling water in a while, and the disemboweled rabbits and pheasants were simply cleaned and set up for roasting.

During the whole process, Xiang Yu and Jiang Chuan cooperated, and their movements were skillful, from catching to roasting, in less than half an hour, they could immediately eat fragrant barbecue. Seeing that Xiang Yu also brought some salt and spices, Zhang Muye was shocked, obediently, this is a picnic, and he actually brought these things with him.

It's a pity that there is no cumin, otherwise it would be an authentic barbecue.

The rabbit was still turning over the fire on the shelf, when he heard a person shouting in the west: "Count the emperor's innate number, know the life and death of peopleβ€”hey, there is the smell of meat hereβ€”β€”"

Zhang Muye and the others were just about to follow the prestige, when they saw a skinny old man "walking" to the fire, reaching out to pull the rabbit's leg. Xiang Yu hurriedly blocked him with his hand, but was casually pushed aside by the old man.

Xiang Yu was horrified in his heart, although he didn't use his internal strength, he was pushed away so lightly before he could react, it was really unbelievable.

Zhang Dali next to him saw the doorway, and looked at the old man cautiously and didn't rush to make a move, as for Zhao Wushuang, although he was short-tempered, he was not stupid, just now Xiang Yu was pushed away, she also saw something, and unconsciously shook the whip on her waist.

Zhang Muye didn't see anything, but was surprised by the appearance of the old man, just heard his voice just now, and then the person arrived.

The old man grabbed the rabbit leg with one hand and ate it slowly, completely oblivious to the eyes around him. At this time, everyone saw clearly that the old man was as thin as a bamboo pole, with a robe on the outside, and empty inside, as if there was no meat but bones inside.

Holding a long pole in his right hand, there is a rag banner hanging, the handwriting has faded, but it is still faintly legible, writing: Lotte knows his fate and is worry-free, and there are four slightly smaller words on the side - Xiqiao Zhenren. Completely dressed as an Eno sorcerer, a fortune teller.

The eight people were silent, watching an old man gnaw on rabbit legs, the scene was very weird, and Xiang Yu next to him wanted to speak and stopped. I want to ask clearly, but I'm afraid that I will disturb the other party by speaking out and make the other party unhappy.

After the old man had eaten half of it, he raised his head and looked at Xiang Yu and said, "Yes, it's a pity that the heat is a little worse." ”
