In spring, although the afternoon sun is not as uncomfortable as in the hot summer, it still makes people feel a little stuffy. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

In particular, on this north-south main official road, it happens that the post stations are a little far apart, and the people who walk this road more often usually bring their own food and water, otherwise, dozens of miles away, there is no shop in front of the village, and those who are hungry and thirsty have to tighten their stomachs and talk less and waste the water of their bodies, so as to get through.

The reason why there is no post station or tea shop on this journey of dozens of miles is definitely not because the government cannot afford it due to financial constraints, nor because the eyes of the Chinese people who are full of business acumen are blinded by the wisdom of the huge business opportunities, but because this journey includes five villages, one of which had a plague two years ago.

The plague developed very quickly, and in just one night, the plague swept through the entire village, killing hundreds of people, and only a few dozen relatively strong people fled out, but sadly became the carrier of the plague, and infected the plague to the village where they fled, causing the horror of the plague to spread. In the end, the government had to intervene and forcibly gather all the people of the plague village together.

During the Mongol era, the Han people feared them to the core. Even if it is an ordinary soldier, in the face of more than a dozen strong Han people, all they need to do is light up their weapons, hook their fingers, and contemptuously say "barbarians come here", more than ten strong men will obediently pass over without resistance, even if the Mongols want them to bend down and lead their necks to kill, they are not ashamed of the bloodless and natural peace of mind. This is the reason why Rutu's master was ready to avenge his family, but was stopped by several great gods.

The Han people, the blood flowing in the veins is almost wiped out, and it is indeed necessary to have a thorough exchange transfusion.

Thousands of people were gathered together like pigs and dogs, and then, without waiting for them to fend for themselves, they were blocked by a group of unskilled archers who were not even qualified as reserves, and then, decisively and cruelly, they were burned with a fire.

Then, all the houses in several villages were also burned.

That burning directly caused thousands of people, men, women, children, women and children in the five villages to be completely reduced to ashes in the fire.

For a whole year after the incident, walking on this road, you can smell the smoky smell of tar.

And when thousands of people and the houses of several villages were burned under the fire, they turned into extremely nutrient ash and seeped into the soil, making the land particularly fertile, resulting in the barren field overgrown with weeds and dense trees in just two years, forming a lush green corridor.

Even in hot weather, the sun is very poisonous, and walking on this road, you will feel completely different and cool.

However, after all, the historical legacy of this area is too strong, and people always consciously or unconsciously regard the coolness under the trees as a gust of wind from the netherworld, and maybe at some point, the ghosts of those unjustly killed will haunt them.

Therefore, if there is something urgent and urgent, and there is an urgent need to take a short approach, I would really prefer to take a longer detour than to go down this road.

Therefore, due to the lack of popularity, this road really seems gloomy, even in broad daylight, there is a penetrating chill.

However, on this day, this road, which is almost inaccessible to people, patronized three guests.

It's just that the appearance of these three guests is also embarrassed, their clothes are ragged, their faces are dirty, and their eyes are haggard.

However, when the camera zoomed in, it was discovered that the black-faced man with a stainless steel gun hanging obliquely on the back of the horse at the head was Du Liuru, the chief leader of the "Feiyun Dart Bureau".

Then, the other two together were He Darthead and Li Darthead. They were in a hurry, looking panicked, and after entering this road, they relaxed their minds a little and slowed down.

Li Dart took a breath and said, "Boss, here, shouldn't you catch up?"

Du Liuru bit his lip, his lips were a little dry, he reached out and took the leather wine bag, picked up the stopper, raised his neck and poured a big mouthful into his mouth, the Adam's apple rolled the wine into the stomach, and then put down the wine bag, and then slowly lost his mind and said: "This is strange." ”

He Darthead couldn't help but ask, "Boss, what's wrong?"

Du Liuru lowered his head, seemed to think for a while, and said: "We've received this business from the 'Feiyun Dart Bureau', if the old man surnamed Fang didn't tell a lie and didn't reveal this 'white marble Buddha statue', we shouldn't have been intercepted in various ways as soon as we crossed the Jiangnan area, and even some cottages that originally had a relationship with us turned their faces and didn't recognize people, and they made it clear that they had to leave the Buddha statue." It's unusual!"

He Dart said fiercely: "Which one lacks virtue is spreading, if it takes a little longer, let all kinds of strong people in the rivers and lakes know that the Buddha statue hidden in the "Washing the Marrow Sutra" is in our hands, even if we plug in our wings, we can't fly out." Made, who revealed it, let me know that I have to skin him!"

Du Liuru smiled bitterly and said, "I'm afraid it is, this news has already spread all over the rivers and lakes." ”

He darthead couldn't help but slap his palm on the horse's back, the already tired horse raised his neck and neighed, and suddenly rushed forward, the blessing of huge inertia and centrifugal force, almost threw He Darthead out of the horse's back, fortunately, He Darthead immediately had excellent kung fu, his legs were clamped, and the upper body twisted back with the waist as the axis to remove the impact of inertia, so that he did not add laughter to the two brothers.

However, even so, it made him feel embarrassed.

However, he didn't vent his anger with the horse anymore, in the end, the horse is innocent, isn't it?

Li Darttou said: "Boss, this road started two years ago, and it is called the road of death, also known as the ghost road, which is taboo by the people of the rivers and lakes, so for now, we are safe for the time being." It's just that when these dozens of miles are over, I'm afraid, we won't be able to live in peace again. ”

Du Liuru grabbed the reins, stopped, lightly pressed his hand on the horse's back, and looked ahead, as if, deep in front of him, a huge and bloody black hole rotated, in which a group of wild beasts continued to emerge with bloody mouths and waiting for people to chew.

A trace of uneasiness, a trace of fear, slowly climbed into Du Liuru's eyes, and then slowly covered the entire face in a radial shape.

He is not afraid of death.

Since the day he broke into the rivers and lakes, it is the fate of the people of the rivers and lakes to die on the rivers and lakes, and he has already been mentally prepared.

However, now, he is afraid of death, even to death. As he said before, his life is no longer his own.

If he dies, not to mention that his wife will be crushed by other men and his baby will be beaten by others, but if he dies, the backbone of the entire "Feiyun Dart Game" will crash, and even the collapse of the Dart Game will implicate hundreds of families facing the loss of their economic resources and falling into the abyss of misery.

When the boss pays the wages, the workers think that they are getting the money they deserve for their labor, but they will not thank them, and when the boss encounters difficulties or even collapses or closes down, the workers not only do not sympathize, but are even full of complaints, and even resentful of the boss for not sorting out their accounts and then dying!

Li Dart said: "Boss, until now, I still have something unknown. ”

Du Liuru came back to his senses, turned his face to look at him, and said, "What's the matter?"

Li Dart said: "That night in Hangzhou City." ”

He Darttou also said: "Brother, you mean it's strange that we don't have any important friendship with the county lord of Yuqin, but we help us at a critical moment." Hi, brother, you think too much, the lord of Yuqin is not an ordinary person, although she is Mongolian, she respects Han culture and treats Han people equally, especially for the culture of the Central Plains martial arts. ”

Du Liuru nodded and said, "This is very true, although the county lord of Yuqin is kind, he is by no means a casual person who can move her out." Besides, we didn't know that the supervision room under the city gate was home to such a peerless master as Lu Tu, how could the county lord of Yuqin know about it, and take 10,000 steps back and say, if she knew that Hu Lu Tu was there, she would not fight against Lu Tu for us unrelated people. Therefore, the events of that night can basically be conclusive, it was accidental, or perhaps, God had mercy on us and let us die undeservedly. ”

Li Darttou suddenly said to Du Liuru: "Boss, in my opinion, our luck is still good. Remember, at the end of this road, is the Cold Fragrance Valley?"

He Darttou also remembered, nodded violently and said: "Yes, Leng Wuhuan, the valley master of Leng Xiang Valley, was wronged by the master back then, was unjustly poisoned and killed by the master, and was chased and killed by the master and died in the world, if it wasn't for the chance to meet us back then, if it wasn't for the boss stretching out his hand, he would have died at the hands of his senior brothers." The boss is his savior, and now, he is entrenched in the strong tyrant, he should remember the past kindness and help some. ”

"Leng Xianggu," Du Liuru narrowed his eyes, shedding a glimmer of hope, and murmured softly, "Well, Leng Wuhuan is a man." ”

Whether it is He Darthead or Li Darthead, they rarely hear the boss praise others, and the person who can get his praise should not be wrong.

So, He Darthead and Li Darthead both exhaled, and their eyes showed a relaxed smile.

Lengxiang Valley is a veritable long and large valley.

At the entrance of the valley, in addition to the north-south main road "ghost road", there are two other relatively small forks, so to speak, Lengxiang Valley is the confluence of the three roads.

Therefore, Leng Wuhuan can entrench himself in this place to do that business, not only has a lot of ability, but also has a unique vision.

No, Du Liuru and the three of them had just walked out of the "ghost road", and they saw that the valley mouth of Lengxiang Valley was bustling, as if it was a market.

At a cursory glance, there were fifty or sixty passengers on horseback or in carriages alone.

However, despite the fact that many people gathered together, there was no crowding or chaos, everyone was a good student and a good comrade obediently lined up in the order of first come, first served, and under the supervision of more than 100 black-clothed archers with bows and arrows on the cliffs on both sides of the valley, everyone had no objection to hand over the "toll" to the eight strong men with large swords on their waists and swords guarding the valley.

Although there were many people in front of Du Liuru and the others, the work efficiency of the people in Leng Xianggu was still quite high, and it would be their turn after a while.

A Leng Xianggu man glanced at them, as if he was extremely skeptical of their down-and-out appearance, his eyes were puzzled, perhaps thinking: These poor eggs, do you have a 'toll' to pay?

There was a big man who was more direct, waved his hand to Du Liuru's side, and said angrily: "You let me go first." ”

Du Liuru was stunned and said, "I'll pay the fee......"

The big man said impatiently: "Tell you to go over, you will go over, what are you talking about!"

He Darttou couldn't help but say angrily: "You kid be polite, your valley master has to be polite to my eldest brother, what are you!?"

The big man's eyes widened, and he said, "Yo, my valley master has to be polite to your eldest brother, why don't you pee and take care of it first......"

Suddenly, a cold reprimand came from above: "Bold Ah Fei, you have itchy skin, right?"

The big man Ah Fei and several big men in the valley looked up, and they were shocked, but they saw that Leng Wuhuan, the valley lord who originally had a beautiful face like a crown of jade, his whole face collapsed at this moment, and his face was pale, obviously angry.

The big man was startled, and hurriedly said loudly: "Gu Master, I don't know ...... wow"

I didn't see Leng Wuhuan pulling his shoulders and bending his knees, and with a slight slip of his feet, he slid out of the cliff out of thin air, slowly landed in front of Du Liuru, and hurriedly pressed Du Liuru who was about to get off the horse, and said, "Brother Du, do you and I still need that set, come, go up and talk." ”

Ah Fei was clever this time, led a horse and made a ride for his valley master.

Leng Wuhuan glared at him fiercely, and he lowered his head in fright, and said softly: "Gu Master, I really don't know." ”

Leng Wuhuan said: "Why don't you hurry up and apologize to Brother Du?"

Ah Fei said to Du Liuru: "Ah Fei has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, I'm sorry Du Daxia." ”

Du Liuru smiled and said: "I'm a hero, I'm just a person who eats on the rivers and lakes." ”

Ah Fei said: "You are polite. ”

Leng Wuhuan said: "This time, if it weren't for you making such a fuss, I really wouldn't have happened to hear the noise and come out to watch, and when I saw Brother Du, it can be said that you have both merit and fault, and if you have merit, I will spare you this time, but you have to remember, and I won't take it as an example." ”

Ah Fei said: "Yes." ”

Leng Wuhuan stopped looking at him, raised his hand and pointed to a corner in the depths of the valley, and said, "Brother Du, you come with me." ”

Du Liuru nodded and said, "Okay." ”
