Sealing Knife

In the early morning of the next day, the heavy rain finally stopped, and the group continued to hurry, turned the mountains and rivers around the woods, and finally reached the rest mountain at noon on the fifth day.

This mountain is located in the valley, the wind is difficult to get out, the water is gurgling, the clouds are hanging down, the plants are seldom seen, and even the birds and animals are rare, let alone the humans.

The locals are afraid to avoid this, not only because of the rugged mountain, but also because it is also known as "Dead Mountain".

Thirty years ago, this was just an unnamed valley. The vegetation was lush, and people in the nearby villages often came in to hunt. However, at that time, Bei Xia Qin Hebai was involved in conspiracy to commit crimes, and the generals who had left the border guards were also called back to the DPRK with a total of more than 3,000 people. , Then rested here.

On that night, the mountain burst out of the jellyfish, and the ground moved, and the torrent of mud like a fierce beast engulfed here with great force, and the three thousand soldiers and the surrounding two small villages were covered under mud, water, wood and stone. .

After the natural disaster, the government brought people to clean up, but the corpses were buried under the sand. In order to avoid the outbreak of the disease, the dead bones were piled up in the mountains and burned for three days and nights before they were burned.

From then on, there were no villages and towns within thirty miles, and only a few households were still living in the mountains, guarding the evil waters of the poor mountains, and the heroic soul integrated with the earth and stone.

It was noon, but because of the rain these days, the sky was still a bit gloomy, and the road on the ground was very muddy. Ye Fusheng drove the carriage as far as possible to find a smoother road, but it was not a day or two to get out of this mountain. He was worried about the wind and rain at night, so he paid attention to the surroundings and planned to find a place to rest at night. .

Ruan Feiyu closed his eyes in the car to recuperate. Lu Mingyuan woke up this morning, but he had no energy left and could only lie in the car to install quail. Qin Lanshang was bored for a while. After all, he couldn't sit still. He lifted the car door and sat next to Ye Fusheng to help him catch the car. However, the young lady was not light or heavy. A whip might be able to beat the horse Running wildly to the end of the world, Ye Fusheng did not intend to compete with the mountain road with the flesh and blood of several of his own.

So, in the face of Qin Lanshang's robbing of the whip, Ye Fusheng raised his hand and took the whip away, and sincerely said: "Girl, do me a favor."

Qin Lanshang: "What?"

"Go cool on one side."

Qin Lanshang heard his unabashed disgust, angrily angrily, arms rounded his arms and said: "I'm afraid you doze off, wait for the carriage to rush into the ditch! I should find a mirror to take care of yourself, and follow up the yard It's like fighting for three hundred rounds! "

Ye Fusheng: "..."

In terms of the girl's age, she really knows too much, not at all like a girl's house of cardamom years.

But Ye Fusheng couldn't refute, he really didn't have a good rest these days.

In fact, since that incident, he has never really slept in bed. After waking up from a nightmare many times, he has no thoughts of being cared for by good dreams. Until the night when the house was broken, Qin Lanshang flew three souls and seven souls in one sentence, leaning against the earth wall to sleep for some reason, and had a dream.

He dreamed that he had returned to many years ago, but he was no longer a glimpse leader, just a common ranger, Chu Xiwei became a child again, but he was not a dragon and grandson, just a wealthy family. When he met him, his arrogant boy refused to go home, and became a little apprentice who was tired of him all day long.

There are not so many intrigues, and there are no irreversible enemies. He looked at Chu Xiwei from a child who only knew to be coquettish and good-natured, and grew up to be a tall and tall adult, but he was full of heads. Juvenile Lang, gradually dyed frost white.

In the dream, they lived in a small courtyard in Jiangnan, where Dongli grew yellow flowers, and the west wall leaned against a green tree. Chu Xiwei wore a coarse linen sack and practiced the knife technique slowly, so he picked up a candied lotus seed and threw it lazily. Xun Dao: "How can young people who have just been crowned move as slowly as the seventy and eighty?"

Chu Xiwei opened her mouth to pick the lotus seeds, chewed it, and said, "Which is better than Master?"

He laughed angrily: "Yes, Master is older than you, and entered the coffin earlier than you. Later, when you are beaten and you cry, see who will avenge you and hit the field! Alas, I hope you will become a martial arts master It ’s not going to work anymore, I ’m still looking for a powerful daughter-in-law while I can move! "

"Don't!" Chu Xiwei leaned against the big tree behind her. "When Master comes to an end, I'll go with you. What are you afraid of?"

Ye Fusheng hit a lotus seed on his forehead: "No interest, nonsense!"

"No nonsense." Chu Xiwei turned to look at him, "Master, I'm serious."

Ye Fusheng greeted the young man's gaze from under the tree shadow, as if a tree of green peach blossomed in his eyes.

The mass of flesh in the chest seemed to be grabbed fiercely by one hand, Ye Fusheng opened his eyes, the personnel around him remained unchanged, and only ash remained on the ground.

He froze for a long time and couldn't sleep again.

Hearing this, the dream without a head was recalled in his head. His face remained silent, and his heart changed rapidly until two figures appeared in front of him.

There was not much weed on the road he walked on. The muddy footprints left and right on the mud, it can be seen that there are usually many people walking. At this time, two figures, one tall and one short, walked far and near against the sky. Ye Fusheng looked up and saw an old man riding a donkey, and a thin man carrying a rough bow and arrow.

The man carried a hare in his hand, a smile on his yellowed face, and an unknown mountain minor in his mouth. The skinny old man was riding on a skinny donkey, rushing the donkey and talking to the man. A patched cloth bag was placed on the back of the donkey, and some wild fruits and wild vegetables were kept in the water droplets.

The two saw the carriage that was hard to come by, and they both froze for a moment, thinking which old man was passing by. They didn't dare to surprise the nobleman, and moved to the roadside when they were three feet away. Ye Fusheng's eyes swept over them, and just before he wiped his shoulders, he suddenly opened his mouth: "This brother, the rabbit can't eat."

The two were shocked. The old man was on the donkey. He could see Ye Fu sitting on the carriage, and asked with an anxiety: "This official, a good-looking wild rabbit, can't you eat?"

Ye Fusheng Le Ma, said sideways: "Because it is poisonous."

The thin man was shocked and hurried to see the rabbit. He saw the gray hare motionless in his hand. There was no trauma on his body, but no energy.

"The hare was cunning. It was strange to see that it didn't hurt, but it didn't move in your hands." Ye Fusheng raised his chin. "Look carefully at its ears and muzzle. I'm afraid I ingested poisonous grass."

The man hugged the hare, only to find that there was a little black blood overflowing in the roots of his ears and muzzle. Although his two eyes were still open, he did not know when it was dark and empty.

He shouted in horror, and quickly threw the hare. The old man froze for a moment, repeatedly hitting him with a thin bamboo pole, and cursed: "Be plagued! Just say there is something cheap, and the rabbit is waiting for you on the ground. Catch! Almost poisoned the family! "

The thin bamboo pole hits people with pain, but the man's teeth grin, but he dare not hide, and can only protect his head and face with his hands. Qin Lanshang grinned and whispered to Ye Fusheng: "This old man beats his son, how is it like beating a turtle son?"

Ye Fusheng was smiling, but raised his whip and was ready to continue his journey. Unexpectedly, the old man finished his son, and then said in a loud voice: "Dare to ask, where are the officials going?"

Ye Fusheng said: "Nature is about to come out of the mountain."

The old man looked in the direction of his whip, his face changed, and said: "Officials, you detour! There is no way to go there!"

Qin Lanshang said strangely: "Why can't I go?"

"There are mountain bandits!" The thin man answered. "We are not a good place here, but we must cross the road from north to east. Although there are only a few poor families in the mountains, But a few gangsters came a few days ago, occupying the mountain as king in the front, extorting property from passers-by, and killing people if they are unsatisfactory.

Qin Lanshang was a blunt and straightforward man, and immediately asked, "How many are the gangsters?"

"I'm afraid there are a hundred or so, it's not easy to provoke!" There was a trace of fear in the old man's eyes. "They don't look down on us poor people, and they are usually safe, but if you pass by, you are afraid ... If you ca n’t go, let ’s go around! ”

Ye Fusheng narrowed his eyes and smiled: "It's okay, thank you for reminding me."

If he said nothing, he would drive the horse away. The old man saw that he knew that the tiger was in favor of the tiger. When he did n’t know what to do for a while, Ruan Feiyu ’s voice came from the car: "Yeongzi, one thing is better than one, listen This old man's. "

Qin Lanshang was so tempered by this "peaceful" Southern Confucianism that he didn't know how to dare to push the new law to abandon the old party. When she heard that, she couldn't help but ridicule: "Senior man, if you're afraid, stay in the car, don't use your knife to cut people, what are you afraid of?"

Ye Fusheng patted her shoulder, and felt that with this girl in front, the world's fierce women could be called Xiaojia Biyu. After thinking about it for a moment, he said to the old man: "Since this is the case, then the old husband knows what other way to go out of the mountain?"

As soon as the old man heard that the life-saving benefactor did not go to death, he was relieved at the moment and hurriedly said: "Yes. There is a path behind my house. Although it is steeper, it is hidden, so the bandits who have just arrived are not aware of it."

Ye Fusheng said: "Can you please lead me?"

"It's okay to lead the way, I'm going home from left to right, but ..." The thin man interjected, "That road is along the cliff, and it's impossible to go after night. Officials may wish to rest at my house to repay the kindness just now. . "

"What kind of thing is a word?" Ye Fusheng shook his head, against a silver ingot. "That's trouble."

The old man refused again and again, but the thin man took the money in a hurry. He sighed and smiled sincerely: "Why don't you want! Why don't you go! Officials come with us!"

They turned to another trail and gradually left, until after the figure disappeared, a hand picked up the abandoned hare.

The rich man looked at the direction where Ye Fusheng and others disappeared, and was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled, as if he was talking to himself: "There is still a little kindness, just ..."
