mage in the late qing dynasty

Chapter 39
When Li Laosan learned that they were going to take the initiative to tease the famous little Jinzier, his face turned pale with fright.

"You, you, are you going to make small gold characters?"

Youngest Li stuttered in fright.

"Third brother, tell me quickly, what's going on with Xiaolongclaw Mountain?" Gao Li said impatiently.

He somewhat looked down on this kind of no-nonsense old man.

Li Laosan looked at the group of young people who looked like wolf cubs, and swallowed: "I have been there a few times, all in winter, the trees over there are very short, and the rabbits are clearly visible when chasing them. Once, I I saw the gate of Xiaojinzier Dazhai’s village. I thought about going around, but I ran into their secret whistle. Thanks to the rabbit on my waist at the time, I knew I was a hunter, otherwise I would have wiped my neck..."

After a long talk, everyone got a general idea of ​​Xiaolongclaw Mountain.

Zhao Chuanxin took out a pen and paper: "Come on, third brother, you say I will draw, let's draw the terrain."

After continuous description and revision, it was finally finalized.

The terrain is really a bit like a dragon's claw.

Zhao Chuanxin pointed to the map and said, "That is to say, this is the only way to go to Xiaolongzhao Mountain? Before that, there was no one from them to look after them. Only the one near Dazhai has a secret sentry?"

Nodding his head and shaking his head again, Li Laosan said: "Indeed, there is only one way. But it's not just a secret whistle, I don't know. After I went there once, I never dared to go again. When I choose a cottage, I don't know. Choose a place that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there is no way to go anywhere else."

Zhao Chuanxin held the pencil shaft in his mouth: "Third brother, do you think we can go around? It's here, circling around this mountain. I heard you say that only one side of their cottage has a wall."

Li Laosan smashed and smashed his mouth: "It's okay, but it's a lot of work. I don't even go hunting so far."

Zhao Zhongyi said to him in a gentle tone: "Third brother, look at this, why don't you take us there? Although the map is good, it is best to have someone who is familiar with the terrain."

Unexpectedly, Li Laosan waved his hands again and again: "Please forgive me, I'm not the kind of fighter, if I go there, I'll pee my pants."

Zhao Chuanxin rubbed his fingers at Liu Baogui, and Liu Baogui took out a silver dollar sensibly.

Zhao Chuanxin blew, and then placed it in front of Li Laosan: "You just lead the way, and you hide it when you get there, and leave the rest to us. This silver dollar is yours."

Man for money and bird for food, Li Laosan took out a cigarette bag and pot and filled it with cigarettes: "That's right!"

Do you want to make money? It's not shabby!
Everyone is speechless!

There must be preparations.

Zhao Chuanxin bought some chickens and eggs. He has no money, so let's take care of the money borrowed by Zhao Zhongyi.

The chicken is boiled, torn into strips, and then mixed with salt, soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings.Prepare pots and bowls and chopsticks, as well as rice.

All in pocket technology.

Bring dry rice too.

Liu Baogui was guarding the house in the village and left him a gun, and a few brave villagers took the soil guns they confiscated earlier.

Before leaving, Zhao Chuanxin told him: "Be careful and be careful. When we are not around, keep your home. Don't let us walk in front, or someone will steal our home."

Liu Guigui patted his chest: "Don't worry, I'm in front of the village, and I'll ask someone to guard behind the village. Anyone who comes will be desperate."

He didn't need to go, and he still had a share of the money after the war. What was the trivial matter of keeping watch at night?
In this way, Zhao Chuanxin and his party set off.

After walking for two days, I finally saw the outside of Xiaolongclaw Mountain.

I gave a sum of money to the old man who drove them in the carriage, and the rest had to rely on two legs.

Gao Li stomped her feet: "Emma, ​​I won't be able to catch up with the carriage. I'm going to have my ass stumped!"

Zhao Chuanxin said: "Save some energy, there are still some people going up the mountain."

At this point he is fully equipped, with a leather case with shoulder straps on his back, and inside are spider legs.The knife sheath pinned on the left waist contains the elf carving knife.The right waist is a holster with a Nagant revolver inside.

On his shoulders, he carried a rifle.

Ganfan was at his feet, looking up at him.

"Go ahead and lead the way. If you smell tigers, leopards and bears, you will sound the alarm. Tell me when you are tired."

"Wang Wang Wang..."

"Also, when you're free, don't yell."

Everyone is no stranger to it.

In fact, the mountain road is not steep.

There are horseshoe prints and rut prints here. Although there are no ordinary people, it is clear that the locks on the mountain also want to live and purchase food and other materials.

After walking for about half a day, Zhao Chuanxin took out a map: "Third Brother, where have we been?"

Li Laosan looked at the map, pondered for a while, and then said, "It's probably here, and there is still a third of the way to the turning point."

He doesn't really know how to read maps.

But after all, it was based on his dictation, and it was drawn bit by bit, and the impression was quite deep.

Gao Li envied: "The painting skills passed on can be used for everything."

"Want to learn?" Zhao Chuanxin looked at him cheerfully: "Shall I teach you?"

In fact, Zhao Chuanxin's most impressive aspect is his optimism.No matter how big things happen to him, he can come out happy.

Some people have commented on Zhao Chuanxin in this way before, saying that he is very similar to Su Shi in the Song Dynasty.

Su Shi was demoted countless times in his life, and it can be said that he was exiled everywhere.But the old boy eats wherever he goes, and thinks that everything is good.

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin's relaxed appearance, everyone couldn't get nervous.He was also witty when he spoke, but he was old and unprincipled when he opened his mouth.

Gao Li secretly sighed, maybe this kind of person is born to be a leader no matter how lazy he is.He shook his head: "No, I can't calm down."

Zhao Chuanxin said as he walked: "That's a pity. You see, you can draw, not only maps, but also people and flowers. When you go out, who doesn't regard you as a cultural person? After learning to draw, you can also draw pictures." If you can continue your studies to learn sculpture and sculpture. If you know Western painting, you might be able to be a guest among foreign devils. If you know how to play, you can’t help but be regarded as the Da Vinci of the [-]th century.”

Double Happiness asked, "Who is Da Vinci? This is the first time I've heard someone with the surname Da."

Li Laosan jokingly said, "Maybe it's the name of the bannermen, who have different names from us Han people. However, they have all changed their Chinese names now. Isn't it Jintai?"

Zhao Chuanxin will never fail!
You guys are so fucking good at talking!
Talking nonsense along the way, I reached the place where I had to make a detour.

Li Laosan pointed to the faintly visible hilltop: "Look, there is Xiaolongzhao Mountain, where Xiaojinzi'er's stronghold is located. We have to go through the forest from this side for fear of scaring the snake away."

Zhao Chuanxin took out the map and looked at it: "It's not close! In my opinion, it will take at least a day and a half to walk."

At this moment, Ganfan suddenly turned around and yelled. It deliberately suppressed the sound, so the sound was not loud.

As soon as Zhao Chuanxin heard it, he said to everyone: "There is the sound of horseshoes ahead, let's hide and take a look."

Everyone hurried into the nearby woods, looking for a place to hide.

Shuangxi said in a low voice, "How can there be any sound of horseshoes?"

As soon as the words fell, everyone heard the sound of horseshoes.

Everyone looked at each other: This dog is really smart!
Second thought: Zhao Chuanxin can really understand dog talk!
