Chapter 27: The Mountain Village
Early the next morning, Yunkong was eating breakfast in the guest room, and Bai Shuzi hurriedly pushed the door in. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
"Brother Yun, you guessed right! Just now I went to look for Miss Yujiao and found that there was no one in her room. I went to ask Xiao Er, and Xiao Er said that Miss Yujiao left in the middle of the night," Bai Shuzi said to Yun Kong.
Yunkong smiled indifferently and beckoned to Bai Shuzi: "You haven't had breakfast yet, have you?
"Brother Yun, aren't you worried about trouble coming to the door?" Bai Shuzi sat down and frowned slightly.
"What's the matter with worrying? you can't avoid the trouble that should come," Yunkong shook his head lightly, and then smiled: "Moreover, it's quite boring along the way, if there is really any trouble, it should be considered to relieve boredom on the road, isn't it good?"
Bai Shuzi looked at Yunkong for a while, and he really didn't know what to say. It's too late for others to hide from trouble, but it's better for him to take trouble as fun.
However, Bai Shuzi also understood that this was because Yunkong didn't know what the jade plate was, otherwise he wouldn't be so careless. Looking at the clouds, Bai Shuzi hesitated in his heart, should he tell him what the jade plate was?
"What's the matter, Brother Bai, are you afraid of trouble?" looked at Bai Shuzi's cloud sky with a smile, and said directly: "If you are afraid of trouble, then we should go separately." Anyway, I also know the way to Shengxian City. It's just that in this case, Brother Bai may have to spare some roads. “
When Bai Shuzi heard this, he immediately hurriedly said: "Brother Yun, what are these words? How can I, Bai Shuzi, throw trouble to my friends?"
"In that case, let's take a look at what this trouble is!" Yunkong smiled.
Seeing that Yunkong had made up his mind, Bai Shuzi could only sigh helplessly in his heart, I hope this trouble is not too big.
After breakfast, Yunkong and Bai Shuzi took the horses left in the inn and left the market town to set off again.
"Hehe, it's really a good weather!" On the official road, facing the slightly dazzling sunlight, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, Yunkong couldn't help laughing loudly: "Brother Bai, you say, will we be in trouble today?"
Bai Shuzi looked at Yunkong a little helplessly: "Brother Yun, you can't wait to get into trouble, right?"
"Just kidding, you're boring," Yun said with blank eyes.
However, to the surprise of Yunkong and Bai Shuzi, in the next few days, they didn't encounter any trouble. This couldn't help but make Yunkong secretly wonder if he was thinking too much, maybe Miss Yujiao was just to thank him for saving his life, or she had secretly taken a fancy to him, so she left this jade token.
Okay! Maybe Yunkong is really thinking too much.
After a few days of driving, there were gradually no cities, fewer market towns and villages, and the more the two of them walked forward, the more deserted they became, and it could even be said that there were no people.
A few days later, in the evening, two horses walked one after the other on a mountain path in the middle of the mountains.
"Look at it like this, we're just afraid that we're going to sleep in the wilderness tonight," Yunkong, who was riding a horse first, couldn't help but say: "Brother Bai, you said that this Ascending Immortal City, since it is a city, it should be very lively, how can it be in a barren place? If you don't know where the Ascending Immortal City is, it's hard to find!"
Bai Shuzi said with a smile: "Immortal cultivators, after all, they are people from two worlds with ordinary people. Of course, the more difficult it is for ordinary people to find the place where the monks gather, the better. Moreover, even if Ascension Immortal City is located in a remote area, as long as you have the heart to find it, you can still find it after all. ”
"Brother Bai, have you ever been to Ascending Immortal City?" asked Yun Konglian.
Bai Shuzi shook his head slightly and said, "I haven't been there!" However, I heard my father say that my grandfather had been there at the beginning. It's just that Grandpa doesn't want to say much about Ascension Immortal City. Therefore, after Grandpa died, he also left a map to go to Shengxian City, and I don't know what Shengxian City is like. ”
"It's quite mysterious," Yunkong, who pouted slightly, suddenly stood upright from the horse's back as if he was aware of it, squinted his eyes on the pergola and looked carefully into the distance, and couldn't help but say with a bright eye: "Brother Bai, maybe we don't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight." ”
"Oh, Brother Yun, could it be that there is still a market town in this big mountain?" Bai Shuzi asked in surprise.
"What do you want, what do you want, don't you want to get drunk with the sister in the Red Mansion?" Yunkong looked back and laughed playfully.
Bai Shuzi glanced at Yunkong helplessly: "Brother Yun, why can you always get to this point when you say anything?"
"Haha.. I'm talking about you, I'm not talking about you. Although you were a scholar in the past, you can't be too serious after you can. You know, this monk's world, it's the jungle, and no one will tell you about fairness and justice," Yunkong shook his head with a smile, and then flicked his horsewhip and sped up: "Let's go, hurry up! There is a mountain village in front, where we will stay at night." ”
Bai Shuzi, who frowned and changed his expression slightly, pursed his lips slightly and quickly chased after him.
After a few more miles, the sun was setting in the west, and the sky was a little dark, and Yunkong and Bai Shuzi finally came to a quiet small mountain village with about a dozen families.
The houses in the mountains, built here and there, seem to be scattered, but they are all on the mountainside.
Facing the mountain road, there is a family, although the house is a little simple, but there is also a small yard.
Seeing that Bai Shuzi turned over and dismounted and was about to knock on the door, Yunkong hurriedly jumped down from the horse and stopped him.
"What's the matter, aren't we going to stay?" Bai Shuzi couldn't help but look at the sky in confusion.
"Shhhhhh
"You haven't asked yet, how do you know that people are inconvenient?" Bai Shuzi couldn't help but say.
"No, don't you see that there is only one house in this house? There is not even a decent room, you want to sleep in the firewood room?" Yunkong said and said, "Listen, listen carefully, do you hear anything?"
"What?" Bai Shuzi, who was frowning and listening to his ears in confusion, soon vaguely heard something, and his expression became a little strange: "This..."
"It's immoral to disturb people's family lineage. Let's go, next!" Yunkong said and turned around.
Seeing Yunkong turning over and riding a horse and walking forward, Bai Shuzi, whose face was slightly red, was also busy turning over and following up.
A moment later, Yunkong and Bai Shuzi came to the door of another family halfway up the mountain.
"Brother Yun, there are a lot of houses in this family!!" Bai Shuzi looked at the several rooms that were faintly visible in the spacious courtyard, and couldn't help but say.
Yunkong turned over and dismounted noncommittally, and directly stepped forward and knocked on the courtyard door.
"Who's coming, who's coming? it's a big night," a slightly older voice came from inside the courtyard.
Listening to the footsteps faintly approaching the door, Yunkong said: "Hello, uncle, we are in a hurry, we missed the accommodation, and we want to spend the night here, I wonder if the uncle can make it convenient?"
"Excuse me?" There was a faint murmur from behind the door, and the old man seemed to hesitate, and when Yunkong couldn't help but speak again, the door was opened with a 'squeak'.
I saw a thin old man in a gray and white coat and a black robe who looked like he was forty or fifty years old poking his head out, looking at Yunkong and Bai Shuzi who then turned over and dismounted, and saw that the two of them were young and kind, and they didn't seem to be bad people, so he said: "Two sons, please come in!"
"Thank you, uncle!" Yunkong, who said with a smile, led the horse into the courtyard with Bai Shuzi.
In the spacious courtyard, you can see a stable that covers a large area. However, there were no horses in the stables.
"Two sons, tie your horses to the stables! Later, I'll feed you some fodder," the old man said, pointing to the stables, "My son and daughter-in-law went to the market yesterday to sell mountain goods, and I'm afraid it will take two days to come back." You two are going to stay in their house, and you two must be hungry too, and I'll ask the old woman to cook you some food. ”
Led the horse to the stable and tied to the clouds, and smiled at the old man: "Old man, don't bother. We couldn't wait for the big night disturbances. We've got some dry food, so we'll just need to deal with it for dinner. ”
"Well, go into the room and rest, and I'll get you some tea," said the old man, smiling, as he walked towards the main house, which was open and lit.
Yunkong also took out a fire fold to ignite it, walked straight to the room not far away, found the place where the oil lamp was placed, lit the oil lamp, and suddenly the room was slightly bright. Although the room is poorly furnished, it is clean.
"Two sons, the tea is here! The people in the mountains and wilderness only have white water, and they are sluggish," and soon the old man came over with a can of boiled water: "There is a tea set in the house!
"Thank you, uncle! Our horses will be taken care of by the old man and the old man, and we will leave early tomorrow morning," took the clay pot with boiling water, and said with a light smile, and hurriedly took out a little broken silver from his arms and handed it to the old man: "Uncle, this little bit of silver should be regarded as accommodation assets." ”
The old man glared slightly when he saw the silver, reacted and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "No, no, son, it's just a night, and you can't use so much silver." ”
"Uncle, you're welcome, you can take it!" Bai Shuzi also smiled and said: "As long as you take care of our horses, take care of our breakfast tomorrow, and then prepare some dry food for me to eat on the road." ”
Hearing what Bai Shuzi said, the old man nodded happily and smiled: "Okay, easy to say, easy to say! The old man will be well prepared, and he must take good care of the horse." Two sons, rest early, rest early. ”
