Chapter 537 Da Qi
"Brother Li, go east first." Zhuge Yuan, who was carrying his hands behind his back, looked up at the surrounding mountains and rivers and said to Li Huowang. "Yes." Li Huowang nodded and walked forward with Li Sui, wading through mountains and rivers. "The left and right bows, this road is blocked, so go west two miles."
Li Huowang did as he did, but he also had a hint of doubt in his heart, "Brother Zhuge, Shangji Guankou is not in a fixed place."
"Of course not. Shangji Guankou is a living creature that can move, and is very good at escaping, but fortunately his movement will cause changes in the surrounding water. As long as we use the method of dividing the gold and water, we can find his traces from the mountains, rivers and veins." Zhuge Yuan said, tilting his fingers and looking up at the stars in the sky. "Well." Li Huowang nodded, stopped talking, and hurried to the road.
I have to say that with a guide like Zhuge Yuan by his side, Li Huowang felt much more at ease, especially in a strange place in Daqi.
Under Zhuge Yuan's leadership, it was already the second half of the night. Li Huowang stepped on the cracked rice fields and stopped at the town with lights in the distance. The town looked quite small, so it should be no problem to find an inn to spend the night in it.
He glanced at Li Suihou on all sides of his left side and said to Zhuge Yuan, "Brother Zhuge, let's go here first today, take a rest first." After that, Li Huowang took Li Sui to the town, Brother Li, and regained his energy today. According to Xiaosheng's estimate, it would be fine if he would almost catch up with Ji Guankou tomorrow. I hope everything goes well.
It has been a while since I came to Daqi. The surrounding environment cannot be said to be very bad, but it always makes Li Huowang feel uneasy.
Li Huowang didn't know if this was his sensitive perception warning him, so even if he didn't encounter anything, he never let go of his vigilance. The town was closer to Li Huowang's keen nose smelled the scent of firewood.
There were people watching at the city gate, but it seemed that the guards were not very competent, and they were all surrounding the bonfire and drinking the soup in the bowl.
Seeing that Li Huowang is coming, his eyelids are even raised
Li Huowang walked into the city smoothly. He originally wanted to find an inn, but he didn't say that the inn was no longer open. The store was not open, and it looked extremely depressed.
Helplessly, Li Huowang walked along the fire to the door of a house to prepare for a stay. A stove was set up in the small courtyard. A man with a white towel wrapped in a head was cooking something in a large clay pot. When he heard Li Huowang's footsteps, the man who was adding firewood in front of the stove turned his head. It was a fair-skinned man, and the fragrance on his body made Li Huowang feel suspicious. "Master, you have something to do."
The man stood up and looked at the tall Li Sui dressed behind Li Huowang with some anxiety.
After quickly looking at this person, Li Huowang's uneasiness increased a little. The man actually wrapped his feet! A man's two feet were only half the size of a normal person. Stepping on the three-inch golden lotus made Li Huowang uncomfortable all over.
Seeing that the man was about to grop behind him, with a "clang!", the blade was unsheathed, and Li Huowang had already put the sword on the other party's neck. "What are you going to do?"
"Brother Li, Brother Li, don't be so excited. This is Daqi. There are not as many enemies as you are in Daliang. This person is just a black household."
When Li Huowang heard Zhuge Yuan explain slowly, he realized that in Daqi, these men who betrayed their lusts were also divided into different professions, and the men who were wrapped around their feet were one of them. When Li Huowang took back the sword, the man who had already wet his pants suddenly collapsed on the ground and kept shaking, and kept kowtowing to him. "This hero, the money is all at the bottom of the box! Everyone respects you, please spare my life!" Li Huowang also saw the thing behind the man, and actually put on the red handkerchief on the belt rope...
"I'm not a robbery, I'm here to stay! Get up! I'll stay in your house tonight. Take it, and count your rewards if you have too much!" Li Huowang forced him up, and took a few pieces of broken silver and was slapped in the man's hand. "This is this". Just when this man was helpless, Li Huowang had already pushed the door and walked in.
The house is not big and the decoration is simple. Although it is for this industry, the house is quite clean. There are two colorful pottery statues on the tribute table on the left, which attracted Li Huowang's attention. Looking at the long ears and three-petal mouth on the painted pottery, Li Huowang turned his head and looked at the man and asked, "What are you worshiping?" The man with little feet smiled twistedly. "Reply to the hero, I worship Mr. Rabbit. Those who do our industry worship Mr. Rabbit." "Ha, I think so."
It was already deep in the night, and Li Huowang didn't mean to talk nonsense with the man, and planned to take the time to rest. He followed the stairs to the second floor, blocked the stairs with a cabinet, and then lay on the bed and closed his eyes.
Li Sui next to him was a round cake, her eyes were closed, but her ears were turning left and right, monitoring everything around her. Time passed by little by little, and Li Huowang fell asleep, and the crackling sound of firewood burning was still heard outside the window. The sky gradually brightened, and when the sun hit the window, Li Huowang suddenly opened his eyes, and there was footsteps outside. At this time, Li Sui had already taken a step ahead, lying in front of the window, peeking at her father through a crack, and a few people came outside, wrapped around white hair like that person, and they were talking secretly. "After they finished speaking, he added firewood to the stove and left."
Li Huowang got out of bed and pulled out the weapon under the pillow, "We should leave, I guess that person is going to report to the official position." "Yes." Li Sui nodded and followed Li Huowang downstairs.
The man with little feet had left before, only the stove was still cooking
"This guy cooked like this all night." Li Huowang thought about this question and walked out of the yard and prepared to leave the village
But just as Li Huowang passed through the town, he found that every household was cooking. He couldn't help but frown: "Brother Zhuge, is this a custom in Daqi?"
Daqi never had this custom. Brother Li, what month is now? Is the Dragon Boat Festival here? I remember cooking rice dumplings for a day and a night
Li Huowang took a deep breath and shook his head. No, the fragrance of rice dumpling leaves is very strong, and I can't smell it at all. Forget it, no matter what they do, just don't get in the way of my business.
After saying that, Li Huowang accelerated his pace and led Li Sui towards the city gate.
But just as Li Huowang was about to arrive at the city gate, a large area of hot stoves appeared in front of him. What was he doing?
