After a day of repairs in Tongfu, the dart team repaired the badly worn carriages along the way, added some supplies such as rice, noodles, oil, salt, and dried meat, and continued all the way north. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

After another five or six days, we can finish this vast Hassan grassland and come to a three-way intersection. Everyone looked ahead, only to see a hill in front of them, the momentum was extraordinary, the ancient trees were lush, and the birds were flying. A mountain path stretches through the mountains and disappears into the distant mountain passes. Halfway up the mountainside, dozens of houses can be faintly seen together, and although they are far apart, they can be seen very clearly, thinking that it must be a mountain village where hunters gather.

The other official road zigzagged down the mountain, and there was no end in sight.

"The name of the mountain in front is Wohu Gang, the mountain road is steep and difficult to walk, to the dangerous place, it is inevitable that you have to unload and carry, and it takes some effort. However, if you climb the mountain, you will be able to reach the Dragon Court in two days. ”

After Master Xiang finished speaking, he paused and said: "If you go around the official road under the mountain, I am afraid that it will take more than ten days." Although this Longting route Xiang has been here a few times, he has never transported so many goods, I don't know what you think?"

Everyone had long been fed up with the hard work of staying overnight on the grassland, and naturally expressed that they didn't want to take the official road down the mountain anymore. In this way, more than 20 dart cars marched towards Crouching Tiger Gang.

As the main road to the south of Longting, the capital of the Beicang Empire, although the Wohugang Mountain Road is steep, it is paved with bluestone slabs. At the foot of the mountain, it was quite gentle, and it was less than a mile or two, and it suddenly became difficult to walk. The dart cargo is too heavy, a dart cart is nearly five or six hundred catties, even if it is a two-horse horse-drawn cart, it is difficult to move an inch. The crowd had to unload the goods and carry boxes and boxes of dart goods to the mountain.

This box of goods is sixty or seventy pounds, and it is almost a little difficult for a dry man to carry on his shoulders, not to mention climbing up the steep mountain road. Peng Yu didn't feel the strain at all, he carried a big box in each hand and rushed up the mountain, and after running eight or nine times, he was still full of energy, and almost moved all the goods in their dart car, but Uncle Zhao and Senior Brother Li, who were traveling together, were happy.

When you get to the mountain road, the road is gentle, and then load it into the car and pull it away. I don't know how many times I tossed and turned, from morning until dusk, I carried all the darts to an open area on the mountainside, where dozens of simple wooden houses were located.

On a slightly more imposing three-story wooden building on the side of the road, a red-bordered "Xilai Inn" pennant flutters in the wind.

Hearing the movement outside, an old man in his forties and fifties in the store hurriedly greeted him, holding a bamboo slapper in his hand to fight mosquitoes, with a flattering look on his face: "Oh, you dart masters have worked hard, in the morning, the little ones listened to the cheerful calls of magpies in the mountains and forests, and I wondered in my heart, isn't this because you are coming." ”

After such a toss, everyone was already tired and weak, and when they arrived here, they sat directly on the ground and lingered, how could they still have the strength to answer his words.

The old man saw that no one accosted him, and he was a little anxious, and he was indispensable to receive three or four taels of silver from this wave of big guests, and he hurriedly said: "If you go up the mountain again, it will take seven or eight miles to have an inn, and the road is dangerous in the dark, so you will stay here tonight." Our Xilai Inn is well-known in these ten miles and eight towns, and it never cheats customers......"

The old guy talked about the benefits for a long time, and then Master Xiang said: "Okay, okay, I know that your shop is good, our brothers are tired enough today, you go to prepare for good wine and meat first, and we will come in after we pack up." ”

After everyone piled up the dart goods to the warehouse next to the inn, the dart carts gathered again, fed the horse feed, and sweated profusely until they walked to the door of the inn. The man was also careful, and had prepared several large basins of water at the door for everyone to clean the dust.

Peng Yu was the fastest, wiped his face a few times and ran to the inn, and the little fox followed him with a swaying behind. Lifting the cotton curtain at the door to block the wind and looking in, this inn is really not small, there are twenty or thirty tables in the spacious guest hall, and a few tables have been sparsely seated.

A few dirty-clad and rude-speaking men were eating wine on a table near the counter, and the vulgar slang of the mountains was probably the hunter of the village. At a table in the inner hall sat a few knights who were supposed to be walking the rivers and lakes, and a few delicate long swords were placed against the wall, but the people fell asleep on the greasy table.

The most striking thing was the table at the door, where five or six men in black were sitting around, and the table was full of beef, wine, and food, but these people sat with serious faces and did not say a word, just sat in a daze.

On the side, an old man who sells his art is pulling the erhu, and the music is poignant and resentful, causing people to cry. Peng Yu knew that this was a song of the autumn moon in the Han Palace, which was originally intended to express the emotions of resentful women in the deep palace, and he didn't know how to spread it to this mountain inn.

The person by the window was a little blessed, and when he saw Peng Yu open the door curtain, he looked up lazily, and seemed to say to himself: "I think it's time to come." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and continued to take a sip of wine, Peng Yu was slightly stunned, and didn't pay attention to him, just found a random table on the side and sat down, and shouted to the counter: "Shopkeeper, is the wine and meat ready? Everyone has been hungry for a day." ”

After a while, all the dart masters walked into the store one after another, and several hunters in the mountains and wilderness saw this dry man entering the store, as if they were frightened by this situation, but they did not dare to talk and laugh loudly anymore.

The dart masters were already hungry, and when they entered the restaurant and saw that the food had not yet been served, they found some tables to sit down, shouting indiscriminately, knocking on the empty bowls on the table, and for a time the whole guest hall was filled with a commotion.

After a while, Xiang Zhengqi and Old Man Ji arranged for more than a dozen dart masters to guard the darts in the warehouse, and then walked into the store, seeing the commotion in the store, they said loudly: "You can be quiet, there are other customers in the store, don't damage the reputation of our dart game." Can you take some time to prepare food for so many people? ”

Seeing the big dart master speak, everyone didn't dare to go too far, so they had to wait honestly to serve the food. After a quarter of an hour, a few guys from the inn brought up the wine and food, two or three catties of beef, boiled green vegetables and tofu, fried peanuts, a pot of noodles and a big pot of wine on each table.

There was another commotion among the people, and Master Xiang knew that these men were not easy, so he didn't want to care about it, so he let them drink and play fists to vent the fatigue of the day. After most of the time, everyone was tired of the day, so they went to sleep in the guest room upstairs under the guidance of the man, and even the hunters in the mountains did not know when they left.

Suddenly, the whole store was quiet, and there were only a few dart masters on duty who were left to eat, Xiang Zhihe, Old Man Ji, and several leading dart masters in the same industry were still slowly drinking. Peng Yu was not sleepy, just teasing the fox on the side, listening to these people chatting with each other.

However, the Jianghu guests with swords at the table and the few black-clothed people at the door table didn't seem to have the slightest intention of leaving.

When the store was completely quiet, the chubby black-clothed man at the table at the door stood up and said softly: "Master Xiang, you guys are really waiting for a few brothers this time." ”
