New White Snake Asking Immortals
Chapter 1395: on the road
Remember [New] for a second,! Surrounded by green and green mountains, water is full of fields and rice leaves are even.
The old stone bridge of Zhangchang crosses the canal, the green seedlings in Fangtian rise with the wind, the weeping willows in the countryside and the wind sway gently, there are five or six thatched huts, under the cattle trees to shelter from the shade, the calves with a small red cloth around their necks run and rejoice , a peaceful and sleepy afternoon.
A few dog howls broke the silence.
"Wow... woo..."
crackle!
The sound of beating the flesh was crisp, and the dog barked even whimpered.
The girl wielded a bamboo spear and beat a few yellow dogs with their tails tucked away. They couldn’t be killed at will. There were few outsiders in the countryside, so naturally they didn’t bother to tie them up. Lack.
The girl took off her hat and raised her hand to brush the messy strands of hair behind her ears.
"Hey, it's a dog stick method, but unfortunately I can't eat it."
After he finished speaking, he looked down at his feet.
A fat raccoon cat lay on its back to expose its belly, purring and shaking its tail from time to time.
The girl shook her head and squatted down. She found a piece of rough bacon in her satchel and shredded it to feed the cat.
"Cheat to eat and drink."
Feed the raccoon cat, bring a hat and continue on the road.
When passing the stone bridge, he frowned and stopped.
There is a simple notice board with notices next to the bridge, two thick wooden stakes less than 10 feet high and a few pieces of notice boards randomly patched together. The wooden boards are used to make a rain cover on it, and the notices are pasted to prevent the rain from being destroyed. very common.
The old notices on the wooden board are full of old marks, and the old paper is slightly scribbled.
Use a bamboo spear to poke away the spider webs that are stuck with many mosquitoes.
Head tilted.
The reason why he tilted his head was because the notice was crooked, which was very confusing.
"This knife... seems familiar."
The notice draws a straight knife and scabbard, with a straight blade and a beveled tip. It also states that the blade is less than three fingers wide and the size is very detailed.
It is said to be the lost treasure of a big man in a certain place, and a reward of 200 taels of silver is offered.
For the villagers, it is definitely a big deal, and it can be called a huge sum of money. It seems that no one takes it seriously. This kind of reward is more like casting a wide net to collect clues and looking for a needle in a haystack.
The girl approached, staring at the knife on the notice thoughtfully.
After thinking for a long time, she gritted her teeth.
"Someone is trying to steal my knife! All have to die!"
With a swoosh, the bamboo spear easily penetrated the sign. I wanted to shred this rough wooden sign, but I thought about it.
Withdrew the green bamboo pole, walked across the stone bridge, and walked in the direction of the feeling in the dark...
Two days later.
A small town in a field of golden cauliflower.
Old tree half-covered stone archway.
The girl was in a trance for a while, and had a very strange feeling. Everything in the world was familiar and unfamiliar. Thinking back on waking up from the deep pool to the present, whenever it was quiet in the middle of the night, she would always feel at a loss, clearly not remembering anything but understanding everything.
There are several stone pillars tied to the horse stakes in the shade of the trees, and the hemp ropes are polished all the year round.
Go to the old and new stone arches.
Head up.
Seeing that the sun was repeatedly blocked by the archway and appeared again, when the light and shade changed, pictures flashed inexplicably...
Seeing the vicissitudes of mountain rock that looks like some kind of scales, he pulls his eyes into and drills into the hidden small hole in the rock, and moves forward, up and down, left and right in the narrow cave.
colder and colder.
Ice, blue ice, thick and thick...
Just then the picture stopped abruptly.
There is still the archway above the head, and the sun shining brightly squinted unconsciously.
I vaguely feel that those pictures are related to my own life experience.
Adjust and calm down, and start paying attention to these arches that carry too much. They have been standing here for a long time, day after day, year after year.
Perhaps, these stones that mark the traces of the years have witnessed too much.
On the side of the stone-brick road, the girl with the hat on her head stayed quietly alone.
Occasionally, pedestrians passing by in a hurry will take two glances, just as a ranger who walks the rivers and lakes with sharp weapons, and try not to provoke them, for fear of sudden violence and injury.
For a long time, take a long breath.
Carrying the bamboo pole on his shoulders, he followed the villagers into the town.
The world is different from the old forest in the mountains.
The sky is very blue, the sun shines through the branches and leaves, and the shade of the tree leaves speckled shadows on the white wall, like a painting.
The water in the roadside canal is clear, bluestone and green duckweed. Who's group of ducks are vying to follow the running water to chase the peach blossoms. A gray duck whose head is stuck in the water forgot to catch up with the team.
Even the signboard flag was lethargic on a hot afternoon.
The sun was scorching hot, and the wind was blowing hot on the face.
Passing through the sign on the roadside of the town, there is also a reward for looking for a knife. There are old and new papers. It seems that it has been released for a while.
Speechless shaking his head.
He hugged his shoulder bag tightly and started shopping. For the first time, he came into contact with a strange and familiar world, and was curious to appreciate the fireworks in the world.
After wandering around for a long time, I found a vague problem. From the first village to the town, the population seems to be a little small. It is inexplicable that there should be more people. Pass.
There was nothing the girl could do, she was just passing by.
Gold is found inconvenient when shopping.
He weighed the pile of gold in his satchel, glad he was greedy for money, but wondered why he was greedy for money
Too lazy to think about it, I took out a small gold nugget from my bag, went to a bank and exchanged the gold for silver ingots and consistent money, went to the tailor's shop to make custom underwear and socks, bought a pair of sturdy cloth boots, and threw the straw sandals into the stove. If it is burnt, you don't need to buy a hat, you can make up your own when you are on the road.
Bought some dried tofu to eat on the road.
Buy a skinny horse at a low price, and forcibly pack two handfuls of spirit grass picked along the way in the mountains.
After half an hour.
The girl stared at the strong Humvee in deep thought.
like…
I have seen an obedient horse before.
Running fast, without urging, galloping thousands of miles in the air, the girl strangely had some intermittent pictures in her head.
Shaking his head again to get rid of the strange thoughts, he quickly turned over and got on his horse, but he didn't even have a saddle.
"Drive~!"
The legs were sandwiched between the horse's belly, and the sound of the horse's hooves ran across the wooden bridge and the field ridge. The strong wind swayed the rapeseed flowers on the roadside, and the horse's hooves raised a little dust, which shocked the birds in the forest by the roadside.
Walk with the fragrance of flowers.
In the direction of Horizon Town behind, Ji Qi stopped out of breath, looking at the fat sheep that went away and scolded the evil sect.
How could that skinny horse run so fast...
With a mount, you can travel faster.
In the wind and rain in the rivers and lakes, being alone, how can there be any poetry in the distance.
When you are hungry, you gnaw on the dry cake with teeth, and when you bite a mouth full of debris, you will inevitably cough. When you are thirsty, you drink mountain spring water, and occasionally eat some sour wild fruits to appetize.
Dried tofu is not eaten by oneself, it must be fed to horses.
Although horses can graze on grass, they need to eat well for long-distance running. Spiritual grasses are random, they are used to feed horses when they meet them, and if they are not encountered, they eat grass and dried tofu.
Of course, you can also eat some game on the road, tie fish with bamboo poles, shoot birds with stones, or kill lone wolves who go down the mountain and eat people. The interesting thing is that whenever you beat a beast, the mount will also come forward to slap the child. Chongchong to help fight, can be regarded as sharing weal and woe.
There are many wild game on the road, but I refuse to eat snakes, poisonous and non-poisonous ones, and even feel close...
The girl and the horse travelled through trials and hardships, and traveled through the mountains and through the forest.
When the mountain rains suddenly, I find a big tree nearby to take shelter from the rain, and the old trees in the valley are not afraid of thunder.
Raindrops crackled the leaves in the valley.
Sitting under the tree with arms and knees tucked, quietly enjoying the sound of the rain, seeing that the broad leaves collected too much rain and couldn’t bear it and slowly tilted.
The mountain rain is sandwiched by the cool wind, and occasionally lightning flashes across the sky to illuminate everything.
Very comfortable when it rains.
The sturdy trunks of the old trees that are slanted can shelter the rain, and the girls and the horses are sheltered from the rain.
Fortunately, we prepared withered grass and dead wood in advance, formed a circle with stones, ignited the hay and added dead wood. During the heavy rain, there is no need to worry about causing a mountain fire. When the fire is burning, the warm light will illuminate the girl and a horse's face.
Back to the big tree and roast the fire for warmth, and slowly roast the animal meat.
It was dark and the rain did not stop.
The bonfire under the old tree in the valley is orange, like a star lamp in the valley.
