Chapter Seventy-Two: Exploring the Mountains

After Yang Guo left Chixiazhuang, he didn't know where to go, although he already had a little understanding of the surrounding terrain, but when he really came to himself, it was difficult to distinguish even the south, south, west, and northwest.

He thought to himself: "No matter where you can go, it will not be wrong to stay away from this Chixia Village first." With a plan in mind, he didn't care whether he chose the right direction or not, and when he saw that there was a road, he went down.

At this time, half of the night has passed, there is no trace of people everywhere, he is alone in wet clothes, he feels a sense of depression, for a while he thinks of the hardships of his previous life, and for a while he remembers the worry-free practice of martial arts in the ancient tomb, his face is sometimes sad, sometimes happy, what kind of mood is it, even he himself can't understand.

He didn't know how long he walked, but when he looked up at the sky, the moon was already setting in the west, and the dawn was about to break in the east, and he felt that his legs were sore and heavy, and he wanted to find a place to rest.

After looking around, he saw a small patch of trees not far from the road, so he walked over.

This forest is sparsely grown, and most of them are not very tall, but as a temporary resting place, it is enough to avoid the harassment of some insects and beasts.

He chose the tallest tree, flew up it, and then sat down among the large branches, leaning against the branches.

"Now I don't have to worry about being discovered by Li Mochou's master and apprentice, and when the morning comes, I will ask passers-by about the way to Zhongnan Mountain, and I don't have to wait long before I can return to the ancient tomb." Although he didn't know where he was, he estimated in his heart, according to his footsteps, he had already walked dozens of miles, no matter how small the world was, it would never be possible to meet Li Mochou again.

He moved his body, found a comfortable position and reclined down, and was ready to sleep, but he was able to have some energy when he walked before, and when he stopped, although he couldn't help but feel sleepy, his stomach was "gurgling" for a while, and he couldn't fall asleep.

He lay down for a while, but at last he could not bear the hunger, and thought, "I will go and look for it in the neighborhood, and see if there is anything to satisfy it." When he came down from the tree, he went straight into the woods, but after walking for a while, he found nothing, not even a single wild fruit.

After walking some distance, he felt the light in front of him, and when he looked forward, he was already out of the woods.

He sighed in his heart, rubbed his stomach gently, and was about to return to the woods, when he turned around to see the outlines of several houses faintly visible in the distance.

He couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and busily went up to a tree, and then looked closely, but now he could see clearly, beyond Lixu, there were really some houses, and it seemed that it should be a small village.

Since there were people living there, there would naturally be no shortage of food, so he lifted his spirits, and after getting off the tree, he hurried towards the village.

The journey was in the blink of an eye, and when Yang Guo arrived in the village, every household was closed, and no one had gone out at this time.

He originally wanted to find a farmer and knock on the door, but thinking that it was still dark, he would definitely arouse suspicion if he dared to ask, and the ** of ten would be turned away.

"Forget it, I'd better be a gentleman on the beam once. He walked around the village, found a farmhouse that seemed barely visible, rolled over and jumped over the wall.

There were only two small earthen houses in this farmhouse, and Yang Guo recognized one as a kitchen house at a casual glance, and when he came to the other room, he heard the breathing of three people in the house, apparently asleep.

He went to the door of the kitchen again, and when he saw that it was not locked, but only covered the door with a stick, he pulled out the stick, and gently pushed the door open, and when he pushed the door, he deliberately pushed it upwards and lifted it slightly, so that the door did not make any noise.

He went in and searched for it, but he couldn't help but be disappointed, except for some pots and pans on the stove, there was no food to eat, and there was not even a pot on the bottom of the pot.

"It seems that the food is not in this room, which makes me a little embarrassed. He had just seen the bedroom of this farmer's house, and the window was ajar, but when he let him go in, he felt a little drumming in his heart, and he always felt a little lacking in courage.

He hesitated for a while, and it was difficult to make up his mind, and he couldn't help but think in his heart: "It seems that I am still not suitable for this business, master, so let's wait until dawn obediently." ”

He exited the kitchen and was about to go out, when he heard a cough from the other room, followed by a female voice: "Old man, are you alright?

The coughing sound in the room stopped after a few sounds, and then another male voice sounded: "It's okay, I accidentally pressed the wound when I turned over just now, and I didn't hold back for a while." ”

The female voice said, "I see that you are coughing up some blood during the day, or go to the town after dawn to have a look, and take a few medicines to get better quickly." ”

The man's voice replied, "Where do we have any money left over to buy medicine?" Even the little rations in the house were snatched back from those beasts by my hard work, and I can't exchange them for money. ”

The female voice sighed and said, "It's not always like this, we worked hard for half a year to save so much food, but in the end it was robbed by those bandits, do you think we will move to live elsewhere?"

The man's voice coughed a few more times before he said, "Isn't it the same where to move?" Although we have a hard time here, the beasts on the mountain don't dare to force us to a dead end, and they will leave a bite to eat. ”

The female voice seemed to be a little helpless and said: "It's only like this, let's stop talking, the baby is still sleeping, don't wake him up." ”

The room soon fell silent again, and soon there was a uniform cries.

Yang Guo thought to himself: "Listen to what they say, there are often bandits near here who come to rob? No wonder I turned around, all the houses were dilapidated and unpresentable, and I didn't even see a dog." ”

Knowing that the people in the village were poor, he gave up the idea of stealing food from other families, and after lightly climbing out of the wall, he walked listlessly out of the village.

After this incident, his sleepiness also disappeared, and he heard the town mentioned in the conversation between the two men just now, and walked down the main road in the village, and if he was not mistaken, he could reach the town by walking more than ten miles at most.

When he didn't know how to choose, he saw a lonely mountain standing at the end of the fork on the right, and he couldn't help but think: "Since those bandits often come to the village to rob, their cottage station must not be too far, will it be on the mountain?"

After this thought popped up in his mind, he thought again: "I am going to Zhongnan Mountain, the road is far away, and it is really difficult to make a trip without pennis, why not go to the mountain to fight some autumn breeze? Although the money and goods in the hands of the bandits are not right, but instead of letting those bandits enjoy it, it is better to let the master take it as a coil, and the big deal is that I will disperse those bandits, and it can be regarded as a reward for those robbed villagers." ”

He felt that this move could not only do chivalrous justice, but also solve his urgent need, and couldn't help but feel a little excited in his heart, he was deflated in Li Mochou's hands, and fell to such a point, he had already accumulated a stomach of sullen gas, just enough to vent his anger with those bandits.

Yang turned around and walked towards the lonely mountain, and after walking for about half an hour, he came to the foot of the mountain, and there was a mountain road four or five feet wide that led to the mountain in a zigzag way, and he looked at the ground, and found that there were many footprints, and his heart was suddenly settled, and he strode towards the mountain.
