On both sides are unknown mountains. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The road under your feet is unknown.

There were dark clouds in the sky, which obscured the moon, and even the stars could not be seen.

Shen Hanzhu was in a hurry.

The snow sword and the baggage were tied to the horse's back by him. He held a long black whip in his hand, and his hand seemed to be numb.

The horse's footsteps still sound strong and rhythmic.

The road is always turning, and it seems that there is no end in sight.

He never met anyone again.

But he saw a lamp, a wind lamp that had been blackened and yellow by the smoke, and it was now being blown from side to side by the wind. Wind lanterns hang from tree branches, and it looks like they could fall at any moment.

The trees are towering.

There was even a pergola under the tree. The pergola has no walls and leaks air on all sides.

Shen Hanzhu was so happy that he almost jumped off the horse.

Because the pergola is not just a pergola, there is heat coming out of the pergola, and you can smell the aroma of food even from afar.

This pergola is actually a snack bar.

The person who can open a snack bar in such a place is definitely a very good businessman.

If a person who really knows how to do business wants to open a restaurant, he will never open a luxury restaurant in the market, but in a place that people will never think of to open a store that he will never think of, without too much decoration cost, there are tables and chairs and a roof to protect from the rain and sun.

Just like this place now.

I believe that everyone who passes by here, there is no one who will not fail to enter.

Of course, Shen Hanzhu was no exception, because he was indeed hungry.

He dismounted as quickly as he could, led the horse to the tree and tied it, took the snow sword, picked up the baggage, and strode in.

The snack bar has no name, and there are only two tables in the pergola, and the tables are dilapidated.

At one of the tables sat a man, fat, with a hat on his head and a brim pressed low, eating with his head down, and his face could not be seen clearly.

So, Shen Hanzhu came to the empty table, and there was a long wooden stool next to the table. Shen Hanzhu sat down, regardless of whether the wooden bench was covered with dust.

Shen Hanzhu said in a loud voice: "Little Er!"

No one answered.

So he raised his voice again and shouted, "Little Er!"

A voice came from under the stool: "There is no Xiao Er in the shop, I am Tu Feng, the owner of this shop, what does the guest officer want to do?"

Shen Hanzhu was startled, looked down, and found that there was indeed a person next to the bench, this person turned out to be a dwarf, and he was at the same level as the bench.

Shen Hanzhu suddenly had a sad feeling. He bent down, patted him lightly on the shoulder, and said, "Boss Tu, bring me some wine, the wine should be hot." ”

Although Tu Feng was short, his voice was very rough: "What kind of wine does the guest officer want to drink?"

"Whatever!"

Shen Hanzhu is not like Du Xiaoqi who only drinks "daughter red", he drinks any wine, especially now, no matter how bad the wine is in his mouth, it will become a good wine.

Tu Feng asked again, "What do you want to eat?"

"Is there beef?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's cut some beef. ”

"How much?"

"Whatever!"

Tu Feng didn't ask much, sang a "whoo", put the towel on his shoulder, and turned around to prepare wine and food.

Shen Hanzhu looked around for a moment, and finally stopped his gaze on the guest sitting at the table next to him. The guest seemed to realize that Shen Hanzhu was looking at him, and reached out to press the hat down again.

Tu Feng's speed was not slow, and soon, he came to Shen Hanzhu's side.

He stood on tiptoe and put the wine and beef in front of Shen Hanzhu. Then he stood next to Shen Hanzhu and did not leave.

Shen Hanzhu looked at him in surprise and asked, "What else is Boss Tu?"

Tu Feng smiled awkwardly, revealing two tiger teeth, and then spread his palms upwards and said, "Silver." ”

Shen Hanzhu let out an "oh" and said, "How much?"

Tu Feng stretched out two fingers.

"Two taels?" Shen Hanzhu thought to himself, this is a calm businessman.

Unexpectedly, Tu Feng shook his head and said, "Twenty taels." ”

Shen Hanzhu frowned and said, "Twenty taels?"

Tu Feng hurriedly nodded and said, "Yes, twenty taels." Are the guests too expensive?"

Shen Hanzhu smiled dumbly, thinking that you can shout this price, are you embarrassed to ask if it is expensive?

Tu Feng seemed to see Shen Hanzhu's thoughts, and said, "The wine and food cost five taels, and the clothes and hats cost fifteen taels." ”

Shen Hanzhu was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of clothes and hats?"

Tu Feng pointed to the row of cotton clothes and fur hats hanging on the edge of the pergola and said, "The clothes and hats are there, and the guest officer can choose any set." ”

Shen Hanzhu said suspiciously: "I didn't plan to buy clothes and hats, not to mention that I don't need them." ”

Tu Feng said: "The guest officer will definitely need it." ”

Shen Hanzhu asked, "Why?"

Tu Feng said: "This is the only way to the 'Valley of the Dead', and the place where the guests go must be the 'Valley of the Dead'." ”

Shen Hanzhu said: "You are very right. But what does it have to do with the fact that I want to buy clothes and hats. ”

Tu Feng said: "It has a relationship. ”

Shen Hanzhu was listening.

Tu Feng said: "'Valley of the Dead' is on the hill in front, it is a rather strange place, the snow is flying all year round, the cold is biting, if you don't believe it, out of my shop, not more than five miles, you will definitely come back." ”

Shen Hanzhu asked, "It sounds like I should believe you." ”

Tu Feng said: "You must believe me. Because everyone who goes to the Valley of the Dead buys a set of clothes and hats from my store. If you don't believe it, you should buy it when you come back. ”

Shen Hanzhu asked, "All?"

Tu Feng said: "Yes, all! If you want to be the first, then pay five taels of silver." ”

Shen Hanzhu said: "That's not what I said, I wanted to ask everything you said, which made me sound like there were not many people going to the 'Valley of the Dead'." ”

Tu Feng said: "It's really a lot. ”

Shen Hanzhu said strangely: "I heard that the 'Valley of the Dead' can enter but can't get out, why are there so many people going?"

Tu Feng said: "Since it is called 'Valley of the Dead', naturally only the dead will go. ”

Shen Hanzhu became more and more strange and said, "Why do you say that?"

Tu Feng smiled and said, "Didn't the guest officer go to the 'Valley of the Dead' because he couldn't live?"

Shen Hanzhu didn't speak, and he didn't know how to answer Tu Feng's words. But when he wasn't talking, he must be listening carefully.

Tu Feng said: "It's okay, it's the same whether you say it or not." But all those who go to the 'Valley of the Dead' are people who have been chased and killed by the enemy and have no way out, or who have been cornered by the official family, and I have seen a lot. There are also those who have been captured or killed before they reach the Valley of the Dead, but may you be lucky. ”

Shen Hanzhu listened to these strangely, as if he was listening to a magical story.

But he believed Tu Feng's words, because he quickly gave Tu Feng twenty taels of silver.

Just then, there was a messy sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the road.

Tu Feng's face changed suddenly.
