Chapter Fifty-Three: The Leper Turtle
There is a moon in the evening, Wu Dongfang returned to the road again, at this time the farmland is not much reclamation, there are many woods on the left and right of the road, whether it is walking or running, he usually sticks to the woods on the side of the road, try to find cover, if you walk in the middle of the road, there are Tu wizards flying in the sky, it is easy to be found.
When he was walking, he was not idle, he found a piece of wood to carve, using a small copper knife from Fei Mu, when he was cutting, he thought that Fei Mu only had this knife, he took Fei Mu and it was useless, and then he remembered that Fei Mu was dead, his heart was gray, and he sighed.
After drinking, he was feverish, and it was not cold in the middle of the night, and the time passed quickly, and when the day was almost dawn, the things he made were completed, and the wooden stick that was a foot long was hollowed out five centimeters, and the beads that were given to him in July were stuffed into it, this bead is not like a pearl, according to the weight, it should be something like jade, the shape is very much like a white-skinned egg, and the beads are stuffed into the wooden hole to become a flashlight, and the light naturally cannot be compared with the military wolf's teeth, and even the ordinary flashlight is not compared, but it can be illuminated at night, which is already very good。
The wooden cover is very troublesome to carve, and a wooden cork to block the light is directly sharpened. Ready for the flashlight, he threw away the wooden box, this thing can't be kept.
Put away the flashlight, he took out the stone box that stored the ground fat, the stone box was carved with decorative moire, the overall polish was very smooth, he looked at it for a while and put away the stone box, which was undoubtedly stored in the ground fat, but it is difficult to say whether you can live forever after eating the ground fat, if you can really live forever, it is too easy to get. But according to July's tone, this thing can at least prolong life.
After dawn, Wu Dongfang returned to the mountain again, walking east from the forest, the Xia Dynasty has too many differences from modern times, one of which is that there are many trees, and a few thick and thin trees are all over the mountain.
At ** o'clock in the morning, he saw a person, a middle-aged hunter holding a bow and arrow, the other party came from the north of the ridge, and when he saw this hunter, the hunter also saw him, and it was too late for him to hide.
The two stopped more than a dozen steps apart, Wu Dongfang looked at the bow and arrow in the hunter's hand, and the hunter looked at the wine jar in his hand.
After a short stay, Wu Dongfang smiled at the other party and stepped forward.
The hunter turned sideways to give way, and Wu Dongfang walked over.
After walking a few dozen meters, the hunter caught up, "Exchange my bow for your wine." ”
Wu Dongfang glanced at the hunter, and then looked at the bow in the hunter's hand, don't look at the bow and arrow is just a piece of wood and a string, the bow body and bowstring are exquisite, the bow in the hunter's hand The bow body is black and purple, and it looks like a thing with years.
Seeing him hesitate, the hunter looked at his waist knife again.
Wu Dongfang didn't wait for him to take off his waist knife and handed over the wine jar.
The hunter looked happy, took the wine jar, smelled the wine, tasted it again, the look of joy on his face became more obvious, took off the quiver and handed it to Wu Dongfang along with the longbow.
"Only half a jar. Wu Dongfang said.
"Who are you, and how do you have such good wine?" said the hunter, taking off his waist knife and handing it to him.
"This is given to me, how will you hunt in the future?" Wu Dongfang waved his hand and didn't answer, he felt that the other party had already suffered a loss by exchanging wine for the other party's bow and arrow.
"I can trade it for a cow and never have to go to the mountains again. The hunter gave him his sword, took off his clothes, wrapped himself in the jar, and hurried down the mountain.
"Which village are you from?" Wu Dongfang asked.
"Hexi. "Orion doesn't look back.
Wu Dongfang watched the other party leave, waited for the other party to go away, put on his quiver, hung up his waist knife and continued to hurry, with these equipment, he would not have to worry about food in the future, the most important thing is that the hunter who hunts is a better cover than the woodcutter who chops wood.
After walking a few steps, he stopped, and the hunter just said that he would never have to come to the mountains again, which meant that he was not willing to come to the mountains, at this time the people were very poor, and hunting could subsidize the family, and there was only one reason why the hunter was unwilling to do such a good thing, that is, the mountains were very dangerous.
He didn't know exactly how dangerous it was, but at least it was more dangerous than he had previously thought. Thinking of this, Wu Dongfang walked south, trying to stay away from the deep mountains and old forests in the north.
At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, the road disappeared, and in the distance was an abandoned village, and to the north of the village was a barren farmland, and he was located on the hill opposite the farmland.
When there is no road, it means that there is no one, and he begins to hesitate to move on, because uninhabited areas often hide great dangers and unknowns.
After hesitation, he continued to move forward, no matter what happened to him, he had to go east, and he could not go back the way he came.
In the evening, he stopped on a cliff, this time he could not go at all, under the cliff was the boiling water, from south to north, with no end in sight, the river was more than several miles wide, and the current was very turbulent.
He wasn't sure if the river was the Yellow River, because the Yellow River and the Yangtze River had been diverted countless times, and the Yellow River course of the Xia Dynasty and the modern Yellow River were not in the same location.
No matter what the river is, it is blocked anyway.
Behind is the wilderness and dense forest, in front is the raging river, the sky is about to get dark, a person in such an environment needs to bear huge psychological pressure at all times, he rarely misses modern times after coming here, but now he begins to miss modern times, the Xia Dynasty is too desolate, there are dangers everywhere, even if there is no pursuit of the Tu tribe, it is not easy to survive in such an environment.
Fortunately, he was not sentimental, and after standing in front of the river for a while, he began to look for a place to live, and finding a place to stay every night was the second most important thing after escaping.
He chose to go downstream along the riverbank, looking for it as he went, the river upstream would definitely be more turbulent, and there might be a place where the water was slower downstream, and then try to cross the river.
Soon it was getting dark, and the howling of wild beasts was heard in the mountains, and he could not find a suitable place in the woods, but found a great bird's nest in the branch of a large tree.
The bird's nest is more than ten meters above the ground, similar to the style of the crow's nest, but dozens of times larger than the crow's nest.
Wu Dongfang began to climb the tree after climbing up the tree and found that the entrance of the bird's nest was facing south, and there were a lot of bird feathers and soft grass left in it, as well as a few dead fish that had become dried fish.
Most of the fish-eating birds migrate south in winter, and the owner of the house should go south for a holiday at this time.
Sure that the owner was not at home, Wu Dongfang climbed in, the bird's nest was very big, so big that he could lie in it comfortably, and tried to turn over, the bird's nest was very firm.
He lay down on his side, and before he could peel the chestnut when he suddenly found that there was a fire on the top of the mountain dozens of miles to the south, and the fire was always in a fixed position, and it did not move and spread.
Just when he wondered who would be sleeping on the top of the mountain, there was also a fire on the top of a hill on the other side of the river, and seven or eight fires appeared on both sides of the river, and these fires did not last long, and would be extinguished after three or five minutes.
The use of light and fireworks to transmit information is a common method used by the army, and those beacons on the Great Wall use wolf smoke, but there are no garrison conditions here, so those who used fire to communicate with each other before cannot be soldiers.
Since he was not a soldier, it was likely that he was a wizard sent by the Tu tribe, and their task was to observe the surface of the river and prevent him from crossing it.
Using firelight to transmit messages shows that these wizards are ordinary wizards, if it is a wizard at the level of a celestial master, there is no need to use firelight to transmit messages, how convenient it is to fly over and talk face-to-face.
However, there are also doubts in this, that is, if you are not a heavenly master, you can't use heaven and earth to return together, how did those wizards on the other side pass?
After the fire disappeared, the surroundings fell silent, and even the beasts that had roared before were quiet, except for the sound of water in the river to the east, there was no sound in the mountains, and the silence was oppressive.
Wu Dongfang lay down and yawned, since the other party is fortified here, he can only go back, bypass these peaks and then go south, the Tu people can't line up wizards on both sides of this river.
Sleeping until midnight, he was awakened by the shouts from the east, the probe went out to look east, only to see the torches in the east, the original turbulent river was blocked by a dam, a large number of people with torches gathered under the dam, in the center of the torch is a huge white king, because it is too far away, the volume of this big kingeight is difficult to estimate accurately, there are many people standing on its back, from a distance it looks like a group of ants climbing onto the lid of the pot.
This group of people is undoubtedly hunting this huge king, because the upstream water is blocked by the dam, the river has been cut off, and both sides of the river bank are very steep, this king has no way to escape, can only rush left and right in the river, those around it seem to be dragging a huge rope in their hands, at this time is trying their best to pull the king.
Only then did he realize that the previous fires were not aimed at him, and that this huge king was the target of everyone.
The biggest Wang Ba he had seen before was only seven or eight catties, and this Wang Ba was afraid that it was seven or eight tons, and it was rare white, but this was not the main reason for his shock, what made him stunned was the dam, the dam that blocked the river water had been slowly increasing, and it was already more than ten meters above the ground at this time.
The opportunity must not be lost and will not come again, Wu Dongfang turned around and took his things, got down from the tree and rushed eastward, at this time there was no water in the river, so he could take the opportunity to cross the river.
Running all the way to the riverbank, as soon as he got closer, he saw the true face of this big king, this guy was almost half the size of a basketball court, and there were many pimples on his head, this was not an ordinary king, this was a white leper turtle.
Its two hind legs were tied with thick copper chains, hundreds of men in sackcloth pulled the chains to restrict its movements, and nearly a hundred people under the leadership of a group of wizards with various weapons to besiege it, the leper turtle was wounded and bleeding in many places, but it did not seem to be fierce, and after being injured, it did not attack those people, but struggled to escape.
Wu Dongfang ran east against the dam, the bottom of the river here was very hard, there was no silt, and soon he ran out halfway, at this moment a figure rushed from the cliff to the south of the river, "Kill the dragon, if the river rises to the top of the cliff, the soil will not be stopped." ”
In less than three minutes, Wu Dongfang ran to the opposite bank, quickly climbed the cliff on the opposite bank, and found a square stone platform a few steps away, and a small square wooden box was placed on the stone platform.
Wu Dongfang was curious, walked over and picked up the wooden box to take a look, and found that there was some red dirt inside.
The moment he picked up the wooden box, the dam that held back the water disappeared, and the huge waves dozens of meters high poured down wildly......
