Chapter Seventy-Two: Lin Yafeng
Walking on the way back to Linggu, Mo Erha was in an extremely low mood, sitting in the corner of the carriage with a frowning face and a bitter face, holding a purple scarf in his hand and stroking back and forth.
Mao Hu was holding a wine gourd next to him and smacking his tongue while drinking: "Ask what the world is like, just let Brother Erha look down." The sweetheart is gone, and the souls of the Erha brothers are also taken away. ”
Mo Erha glared at Mao Hu, turned his head to the window and looked away.
Tuchen was also full of helplessness, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only sigh and change the topic: "Brother Mao, send us to Linggu, what are your plans next?"
Mao Hu smiled openly: "Xiaoyao people have their own free road, I have walked everywhere in the past few decades, I am afraid that there is no place to go to home, and I am worried about no wine to drink? ”
"Place?
Mao Hu smiled and took out a palm-sized blue and white porcelain vial from his arms: "The baby is running out, I have to find a place to replenish it, and by the way, go to those places I haven't been to have a look." After these few days, our brothers will have to meet again, and I wish you to get your memories back as soon as possible and find the lost Lingxi girl. Come, have a drink!" he said, turning the lid of the wine gourd upside down and pouring a glass of white wine.
Tuchen hugged his fists in gratitude, drank the liquor, and then looked at the willow trees on both sides of the road to comb through the fragments that could be recalled these days.
The carriage traveled for two days, and on the morning of the third day it stopped in front of a large mountain. Mao Hu jumped out of the carriage and turned his head to move his muscles: "Brothers, it's time to get off." ”
Tuchen lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked at it, only to see that the carriage stopped at the end of a gravel road, and behind the gravel road was a potholed and winding dirt road that led to the depths of the mountain. The mountain is dominated by cliffs and lush vegetation on the cliffs. In such a beautiful place, there is a black gas hovering on the top of the mountain, condensing for a long time.
Mo Erha had been thinking about Zi Ning, and slowly stuck his head out of the window and looked: "What, have you arrived?"
Mao Hu laughed: "It's just less than half of the walk, and there are mountain roads in front of us, so we can only walk into the mountains." ”
Tuchen also felt a little different, jumped out of the carriage and asked, "Brother Mao, our destination is Linggu, why did you come to the mountains?"
"Of course I know that the destination is Linggu, Grandpa Mao is taking you to take a shortcut. It takes at least five to seven days to drive around the main road, and at the latest, it takes only three days to walk this road. What's the matter, you're not in a hurry to go back?"
Convinced of Mao Hu's ability to lead the way, he has traveled south and north for more than ten years, and now it is like a living map, so there is no situation of taking the wrong road. So the three of them simply packed up their belongings and headed down the winding dirt road towards the mountains.
Walking on the road, Mao Hu, who had been asleep in the carriage for two days, was full of energy, and introduced the details of the road and the mountain as he walked: "This mountain is called Lin Ya Peak, and there are countless cliffs in the mountain, and you will get lost if you are not careful. But with Grandpa Mao here, these are not problems!"
"Lin Ya Peak?" Mo Erha asked, "Is it because there are dense forests growing on the cliffs here?"
Mao Hu shook his head slightly: "That's half right, the cliffs of Lin Ya Peak are indeed because of the many cliffs here." But the forest of Lin Yafeng is not because of the mountains and forests here, but because of the Lin family village!"
"Linjiazhai ......"
Hearing these three words, Mo Erha suddenly became energetic and swallowed his saliva: "What did you say...... It won't be one of the three major families, the Lin family's Lin family, right?!"
"Clever!" Mao Hu continued: "The Lin family is the deepest hidden among the three major families, they never ask about the government or martial arts, and they don't care about all disputes in the outside world. This willow cliff mountain is where the Lin family is located, although the surface of the mountain cliffs crisscross the cliffs, but the mountain has been hollowed out as a stockade. In other words, we are walking on the roof of Linjiazhai at this time. ”
Tuchen was a little worried: "Since this is the territory of the Lin family, let's rush through the mountains like this, I'm afraid it will cause unnecessary trouble, right?"
Mao Hu waved his hand nonchalantly: "Don't worry, although this is the territory of the Lin family, they do not restrict outsiders from traveling through the mountains." As long as the toll is appropriate, everything is so thin, not to mention that the three of us are old men, are there any women. ”
"Woman?" Mo Erha said in surprise: "Can you cross the mountain, what does it have to do with women?"
"You still have too few wandering in the rivers and lakes, and you don't even know some of the most basic news, this time is that Grandpa Mao is here, otherwise you will have to take a lot of detours. After speaking, Mao Hu hugged his arms to his chest and talked like a master who was teaching his apprentices: "As long as you know about the three major families on the rivers and lakes, you know that Lin Yuan, the owner of the Lin family, is an old pervert, and his son Lin Chaoqun is even more blue and outstanding. This mountain, men give some tolls to pass, if it is a woman, especially a beautiful woman, four words: there is nowhere to enter!"
Mo Erha sighed long and muttered, "Fortunately, Miss Zining left early, otherwise I am afraid that I will encounter other dangers when I get here." Miss Zining...... When will I see you again...... Alas......"
Tuchen frowned: "It's so domineering, robbing the people's daughters, isn't there anyone in the local government to take care of it?"
"The three major families even have to give three points to the imperial court, let alone the local government. Besides, this Lin Jiazhai is located in the deep mountains and is not under the jurisdiction of any place. A girl strayed into it and was caught, and she could only consider herself unlucky. ”
As they spoke, the three of them had entered the deep mountains, and the mountain road under their feet was long gone, replaced by huge rocks and towering cliffs. The mountain seemed very silent, no one stood guard or patrolled, but the black gas above still existed, enveloping the entire mountain like a big umbrella!
Bypassing a protruding towering rock wall, two boulders tens of meters high appeared not far ahead, and the two boulders were close together, forming a narrow passage in the middle.
Mao Hu looked at the passage and nodded: "When you arrive, there is a place to pay the toll in front, just follow me." As he spoke, he took out two large silver ingots from his arms, and strode over.
When I came closer, I saw that in the middle of the passage sat a golden platform one meter square, and the stone platform was surrounded by a circle of red satin, and a big red flower in the middle of the silk was very conspicuous.
Mao Hu frowned when he saw this, walked closer and placed the two silver ingots that had been prepared side by side on the platform, and gestured to the two behind him: "Don't talk, go quickly!"
Seeing that Mao Hu's expression was a little abnormal, Tuchen quickly chased after him and asked in a low voice.
Mao Hu gritted his teeth and moved his lips slightly: "The red flowers around the platform represent that Lin Jiazhai has a happy event today, and it is estimated that Lin Yuan or Lin Chaoqun are taking concubines again." According to their rules, passers-by have to go to participate, and they can't leave for as little as two or three days, or as long as a month. Take advantage of the fact that there is no one now, hurry up, it's too late!"
As soon as the words fell, another sound of footsteps sounded from not far away, and then two men in colorful robes walked out, and when they saw the three people with tight steps, they immediately shouted: "What people!?"
These three words were like three nails, nailing the three of them firmly in place, and they were stunned for a second and turned around with a hippie smile: "Two brothers, we are passing by, according to the rules of our Lin family, the toll is not less at all." As he spoke, he raised his hand and gestured to the golden platform next to him.
The two men were fat and thin, and the thin man turned his head to look, walked closer and picked up the two silver ingots, and pointed to the red lings and red flowers on the edge of the platform with his chin: "Since you know the rules of Lin Jiazhai, then I don't need to repeat the meaning of this big red flower!"
"That's natural, it's just that a few of us have urgent matters, can the two brothers be accommodating, hehe, accommodating. As he spoke, Mao Hu took out two silver ingots from his body and stuffed them into the hands of the two.
But the two of them didn't appreciate it, and the fat man stuffed the ingots into his arms, and his tone became even more severe: "Presumptuous, you dare to shirk the young master's reward!? What could be more urgent than the young master's happy day!" Lin Tian, take it back!"
The thin man who was called Lin Tian nodded, raised his right hand and pointed to a path on the left: "Let's go." ”
At the moment when Lin Tian raised his hand, Tuchen saw that the skin of his right hand was colorful, and his nails were as black as ink, as if he had been poisoned.
Mo Erha's face was full of unconvinced, and he followed at the end and whispered: "There are three of us who can't beat two little minions, why are we so obedient and led by their noses!"
Lin Tian turned his head and looked at it when he heard the voice: "What did you say?"
Mao Hu made a gesture not to talk too much, and hurriedly approached to change the topic: "I just want to ask, what happy events are going to be held in our village recently?"
Lin Tiandao: "Young master concubine, count your luck, today is the right day to take a concubine." If it's an hour late, there will be no portion of this happy wine!" After speaking, he raised his sleeves and shook it lightly in front of the three of them, and a light cyan gas suddenly diffused.
That kind of gas is colorless and tasteless, Tuchen subconsciously closed his eyes, but when he opened it in the next second, it was still pitch black in front of him, and there was no sense of light. At the same time, Mo Erha's panicked voice sounded beside him: "I! I can't see!
