Chapter 102 Preparing to Enter the Mountain
"Okay, stop talking."

Qin Huaiyu held the child's hand softly, preventing him from counting any more.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin beside them were somewhat silent.

They consider themselves not good people. When they go out to beat horses and parade in the streets, they often take things from people without giving them money.

But he is not so arrogant as to directly treat people as beasts!

"Do you know how many people are left in your village?" Qin Huaiyu asked.

"do not know."

The kid shook his head.

"Aren't they coming back tonight?"

"will not."

The child shook his head and said, "They live and eat in the mountains. Once they go there, they will never come back."

"Then you..." Cheng Chumo looked at him hesitantly.

"My father told me to hide at home and not come out."

The child whispered something, then suddenly raised his head and asked expectantly: "Can you help me rescue my parents?"

"I'll try my best."

Qin Huaiyu didn't agree at all.

According to the recent changes in Chang'an City, I am afraid that the Zheng family in Xingyang has not come here to ask for someone for a long time.

Most of those people will not survive.

And judging from the situation described by the child, it seems that the Zheng family in Xingyang has not been mining this salt mountain for a long time, but they did not expect that after all their efforts, they discovered that it turned out to be a poisonous salt mountain.

They had given up mining, and they happened to hear the news that they were buying poisonous salt mountains from all over the world, so they regarded this place as a benefit and gave it to themselves as if they were following the trend.

The cost of investing in Poisonous Salt Mountain is used to buy yourself off.

Thinking of this, Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but want to sneer in his heart.

The Zheng family in Xingyang really doesn't lose anything no matter what they do.

Otherwise, if such a mess is left in their hands, it will be hot for them to hold on to it for a long time.

"Do you know where they went into the mountains?"

Qin Huaiyu asked.

"know."

The child nodded quickly.

He had known that path long ago.

"I go there every day to see when my parents will come back..." The child's voice became smaller and smaller.

Obviously, even though he was young, he still guessed that something bad might have happened to his parents.

It’s just that I still don’t want to believe it.

"Come on, let's go see the mountains."

Qin Huaiyu didn't mind the mess on the child, so he picked him up and held him in his arms.

The child was very light, as hungry as skin and bones, and weighed very little. It seemed that he had not eaten properly for a long time.

"What's your name and how old are you?"

Qin Huaiyu asked on the way.

"My name is Zhao Ergou, I am seven years old."

Zhao Ergou felt that the person in front of him was strange, a little close, and couldn't help but want to believe him, but he was also a little scary.

"Ergou, it's really a common name."

Qin Huaiyu smiled kindly.

He didn't mean to laugh at anything. In this era, only those families with some knowledge would give their children formal names.

As for the name, that is not something that ordinary people who can only face the loess and back to the sky can have, mainly because they do not have the conditions.

Zhao Ergou lowered his head a little shyly.

"Ever ridden a horse?"

Qin Huaiyu asked with a smile.

"No."

Zhao Ergou shook his head, but looking at the tall horse whose body was as red as blood and whose tail looked like a ball of blazing flames, there was still a trace of yearning and desire that could not be suppressed in his eyes.

"Do you want to go up and give it a try?" Qin Huaiyu asked next.

"Can I?" Zhao Ergou turned his head excitedly.

"I said yes, yes."

Qin Huaiyu said, putting Zhao Ergou on Chitu's back, then he also got on his horse and hugged Zhao Ergou in his arms.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin looked at each other, both feeling helpless.

"Why do I feel like the two of us are just here to make ends meet?" Cheng Chumo sighed helplessly.

"I think so too."

Yuchi Baolin nodded sympathetically.

"You're not just making up the numbers."

A cold voice came from beside them.

Cheng Chumo and Yuchi Baolin looked at Wei Zhuang in shock. This man had always been cold and arrogant, but he could actually comfort people?
The two of them were actually a little flattered for a moment and didn't know what to say.

"Do not misunderstand."

Wei Zhuang passed between the two of them on horseback, and his expressionless face could be seen through his long, flowing white hair.

"I mean, you two make a great backdrop."

I don’t know what his psychology was, but after Wei Zhuang hesitated for a moment, he actually added:
"Keep it up."

Cheng Chumo: (ノ ̄ー ̄)ノノ(_ノ)
Yuchi Baolin: ( ̄┏Д┓ ̄°*)
"Do you think we two have a chance?"

Yuchi Baolin stared at Wei Zhuang's back with his eyes full of eagerness to try.

Cheng Chu was silent for a moment.

Then he patted Yuchi Baolin on the shoulder and said in a deep voice: "Brother, you can die if you want, but don't take me with you."

After saying that, he rushed to chase Qin Huaiyu.

Yuchi Baolin was confused and just about to leave, when he found that Wei Zhuang had returned to him on horseback.

Holding the shark-tooth sword tightly with one hand, he looked at Yuchi Baolin with a murderous look in his eyes.

"You want to practice?"

Yuchi Baolin's face turned red from suppressing his emotions. He said "You heard me wrong" and left.

If you don't leave, you'll be beaten!

Looking at Yuchi Baolin running away, Wei Zhuang raised his head slightly, but did not leave in a hurry.

"You'd better be smarter."

Wei Zhuang Youyou said: "My young master does not want to argue with you, but my shark tooth sword will not recognize people."

No one around responded, and no one knew who Wei Zhuang was talking to.

Wei Zhuang didn't stay long. After saying this, he rode away from here.

After a while, several people walked out of the broken houses in the village.

The leader was surprisingly Zheng Qian, who had just dealt with Qin Huaiyu!

"Second Master, do you want to stop them?" the person next to him asked in a low voice.

"Do you have this ability?"

Zheng Qian frowned and glanced at him.

The man's expression froze.

Let alone others, the white-haired swordsman alone was not something they could deal with!

"The woman in his family, plus this white-haired swordsman, are all absolute leaders among the young warriors in the world."

Zheng Qian sighed softly: "I really don't know where Qin Huaiyu gathered this peerless master from."

"Second Master, then let's..."

"Let's go back."

"But here?"

"Qin Huaiyu is a smart man."

Zheng Qian said calmly: "Smart people will not cause trouble, otherwise they will only cause endless trouble for themselves."

"Yes, Second Master is wise."

"Let's go."

The group turned around and left.

It's just that they walked so far away that they didn't notice that in the shadow of the small courtyard where they were hiding, there was a slender and graceful figure...

He was already standing there holding a sword!
