Among the mountains in Chongyi, the most famous one is the Zhaoyun Mountains.
The deserted ancient forest road has been deserted for a long time, except for the teeth-grinding mountain bandits and the innocent refugees who were forcibly dragged here.
There has been too much killing here, and the ground has been soaked with blood on several occasions, with corpses piled in mounds or heads covered in trees. These towering mountains have never shown mercy and have remained indifferent.
The heaven and the earth are unkind, and all creatures are like rotten dogs. In troubled times or good times, ordinary human lives are no different from those in humble soil.
After several days of heavy rain, it finally cleared up.
To the east of Panyun Road, the wilderness is vast and stretches as far as the eye can see. Rivers are flowing, and occasionally a few young snow-fed rabbits will appear scurrying along the water's edge.
Seven miles south of Zhaoyun Mountain is Panyun Road, but there are not many people there. Most people would rather take a longer route than dare to muster the courage to go this way.
At 23:00 noon, the sun was blazing brightly, and the wilderness was still covered with water, but the official road was slightly dry.
Two young men in brocade clothes led the horses and walked slowly along the official road.
"You are really powerful. Give me ten courages and I wouldn't dare to target Yuanhou's sole seedling. You just beat him like a bear." Qin Sanlang laughed.
"Bear-like? Come on, you can't afford to offend a bear. He's tall and fierce, and that Yakuza is just like a donkey." Song Erlang replied.
"But now you are at least at a disadvantage because you were sent here to fight against horse thieves."
"It's better to vent your anger with horse thieves. You can kill them without blinking an eye. I'm in the northwest and southwest, and if I kill a prisoner of war, there will be a bunch of people pointing at me and scolding me." Song Erlang felt aggrieved.
Qin Sanlang smiled, looked up and pointed ahead: "That's Zhaoyun Mountain over there."
Song Erlang also raised his head.
The mountains are green and hidden in the horizon, and the fields are lush and full of rivers and lakes.
Qin Sanlang added: "There are many strongholds that are difficult to fight. Many of them have been here for hundreds of years. We don't know the terrain inside, but they know it clearly. The weather and location are favorable, and they have taken them all. Listen to my father
He said that he had been beaten hundreds of times and every time he came back he was disgraced."
Song Erlang said nothing, looking over there in the distance, his handsome brows lightly pressed, and his eyes became deep.
=========
Longhutang is just one of the cottages in the Zhaoyun Mountain area. There is the Huifeng Clan in the south, the Tianding Clan in the north, and other cottages of all sizes that dominate the mountain.
The women did not dare to pass through the wide openings and had to choose wetlands where warblers were flying and grass growing, making it difficult to walk.
Several women and girls had a fever and were dizzy. In order to take care of them, everyone walked even slower.
Resting on a high hill, several women lit a fire and boiled water. They also set up a small stove to prepare meals.
Qian Qianqian was exhausted after spending a long time picking baskets. After wringing out his trousers, he looked behind the crowd, paused, and shouted: "Ali."
Xia Zhaoyi held a small branch and was drawing on the ground. Hearing this, he raised his head and said, "Huh?"
Qian Qianqian jumped down the slope and ran over. Seeing Xia Zhaoyi's horizontal and vertical drawings, he asked curiously: "What is this?"
"arithmetic."
"arithmetic?"
Qian Qianqian squatted down next to her. He really couldn't understand, but it didn't matter if he couldn't understand.
She looked sideways at Xia Zhaoyi: "Ah Li, I didn't expect that we could really come out."
Xia Zhaoyi smiled: "Not yet, it won't be safe until we get out of here."
"With you here, there's nothing to be afraid of." Qian Qianqian said without thinking.
The ups and downs last night were hard and scary for others, but Qian Qianqian really couldn't feel anything.
After returning with Ah Li, she was tired and exhausted because she had been sleepy all night and half the day, so she fell asleep directly.
When the maids came to remove the doors, windows and bed boards, she woke up once, but could not hold her eyelids open, so she went back to sleep.
After that, the girls let San Guang Si Guang go, followed the captain to call her up, and dragged her to hide under the vegetable garden.
She was confused.
Who is she, where is she, and what is she going to do?
She really wanted to ask her, but she was really sleepy, so she leaned over there and fell asleep again.
At that time, all the girls looked at her blankly, in disbelief.
Of course, she didn't know that in her sleep.
In short, when I woke up, it seemed like the whole world had changed.
The sun is shining warmly and the wind is clear and dry.
And someone told her that the people she feared and feared were all dead.
died……
This word that Qian Qianqian had been numb to before made her feel for a moment like the mountains in early spring, where all the flowers and plants were blooming and waking up from the frost in winter.
Obviously, this is a bad word.
Anyway, I didn’t care. When the women came back from the mountain, they had another hearty meal and then went down the mountain.
Crossing mud paths, crossing mountain tombs, crossing swamps, and walking past battle walls.
Everyone works together.
When they stepped onto the grass at the foot of the mountain, they hugged each other excitedly.
Yes, this is leaving, not running away.
They are upright and upright.
Qian Qianqian didn't know the specific story, but he knew that everything was related to Ah Li.
Along the way, everyone was carrying or carrying a bunch of things.
Only Ah Li was relaxed, holding a tree stick, and followed slowly behind, looking around and wondering what he was thinking.
"Qianqian." Aunt Feng came over and said.
Mrs. Liang and Mama Yu followed her.
Qian Qianqian raised her head: "Aunt Feng."
"You go over there and cook the medicine together. Ah Li and I have something to talk about." Aunt Feng said.
"oh……"
Qian Qianqian got up, feeling a little reluctant to leave. He finally stopped to rest and wanted to ask Ah Li for a question.
"Ali." Aunt Feng sat down on the stone next to her.
Xia Zhaoyi stood up and looked at them with a smile: "Huh?"
Aunt Feng, Liang and the others looked at each other and asked, "Where is the chivalrous man you mentioned?"
"Let's go."
"gone?"
"Yeah, let's go."
Aunt Feng frowned slightly: "Why did he leave? We haven't even thanked him yet."
"When it's over, take off your clothes and hide yourself and your name."
"So strange." Mrs. Liang muttered.
"Hero," Xia Zhaoyi said with a smile, "Isn't that the case all the time?"
Yu's mother said softly: "But I always feel that I should thank this knight properly."
"When I get out of here, I'm going north," Xia Zhaoyi said. "Don't worry if you can't find me by then."
Aunt Feng was stunned: "Aren't you with us?"
"Um."
"You're a little girl, where are you going by yourself? Aren't you afraid of being abducted and then sold to these bandits who lick blood on the tip of their knives?" Ms. Liang shouted.
"Yes, Ah Li, it's inconvenient for you to be alone. Come with us. We plan to buy a village and open a shop," Yu Ma said.
"No," Xia Zhaoyi suppressed a smile and raised his eyes to the north, his eyes becoming distant, "I have to go home."
Return to the heart like an arrow, return to the heart like an arrow.
All she could think about was what had happened to her second brother and what had happened to Duke Dingguo's mansion.
Also, after leaving the cottage, she had one very important thing to do.
Thinking of this, Xia Zhaoyi's heart felt slightly sour and gradually ached.
