Volume 2: Mountains and Rivers Gu Chapter 1: The Horse Thief
The land is full of wind and sand, and there are few people around.
On a clear day in the sky, a strong brown horse was walking on the official road. On the horse's back sat a man in a green shirt with a bamboo hairpin on his head and a heavy sword on his back.
Feng Ziqing rode Fu Gui'er on the official road. From time to time, strong winds would blow up the sand and dust, making his mouth dry. He sighed. The world was peaceful, but he couldn't see anyone.
He thought about whether to write a letter to Zema Mountain to tell the whole story clearly so that Deng Zhi's disciples would be on guard, but after some thought, he gave up this idea.
Old Wu said that Ming Meng's physical strength must be very strong, so inferring from this, he is probably from a major cultivating sect, so he is naturally well-informed, and Ming Meng should not know which sect Deng Zhi is. , it is really inappropriate to write a letter hastily.
Furthermore, there is such an existence as Qingfeng Village in Wenlin Country, but what about Liwu Country? Mingmeng doesn’t know where he is, no matter far or near, what he should do most now is to hide, stay away from Qingfeng Village, the further away the better, and then grow up secretly .
Since the twins' natal auras must be hidden, the Immortal Cultivation Mountain Gate cannot be visited to avoid being exposed.
Without a specific purpose, Feng Ziqing decided to go along the road, first to the two counties listed in the county records. He had promised to do what Jing Yatou had done, and then he would go to Ziluo Kingdom in Nansha Jiangzhou to find the man named Jing Yatou. A lonely girl.
Obviously, the girl mentioned by the Ming Dynasty Immortal is already a grandma, but at least she has a purple bamboo hairpin as a token, so it won't be difficult to find her.
It has been a few days since I left the village. I sold the skins I peeled off in the nearest town to get some money, found a blacksmith shop to make a scabbard for Mochiyue, and bought some dry food and water. After necessities, we continued walking.
The map I bought from the town was too rough, and the distance it took was not accurate, which made Feng Ziqing one head and two big, but at least the direction was correct, which was gratifying.
At this time, we were still several days away from the nearest Xihe County, and we met few people on the road, so we felt bored.
On this day, Feng Ziqing was riding alone on the road. He saw a thin river not far away, so he prepared to prepare more water. Fuguier was in low spirits and needed to take a rest. The water was clear and there was a small hill on the other side of the river. , the woods are dense, and the rich and noble children go straight across the thin river to eat grass.
Feng Ziqing ate some dry food, filled the water bottle, found a dry place to lie down, took off the bamboo hat and covered his face, and began to close his eyes and rest.
After about a stick of incense, the neighing sound of a rich man suddenly came to his ears. He picked up his bamboo hat and opened his eyes to see that there were people in the woods. He quickly got up, jumped over the thin river, and stepped forward to check.
The leader was a man wearing silk and satin, with a fat head and big ears, and a big knife on his waist. He was followed by a group of men wearing coarse cloth. A thin man holding a fanged club said flatteringly to the silk man: " Brother, this horse is really good looking. It’s not an exaggeration to say it’s the best. I’ve come at the right time today. When it sells for a good price, don’t forget about me, little brother, hehe.”
Brother Satin held the reins of the horse and laughed, patted his chest and said: "Don't worry, brother, I have never treated you badly, right, ah, hahaha."
A group of people immediately echoed, "Yes, yes, brother has always been nice to us, just like family members."
Brother Satin laughed very happily, with a loud voice. He seemed to suddenly remember something, his laughter stopped suddenly, and he lowered his voice and said: "Shh, please keep your voice down, and get the horse away quickly before the person on the other side notices." "
A group of subordinates looked at each other, brother, it seems that you are the loudest one all the time.
Just as everyone was about to leave, a voice sounded, "Where are you going to take my horse?"
Everyone turned around and saw a young man. They all smiled contemptuously. Brother Satin spoke first: "You don't care where I take the horse. Boy, I advise you to be more knowledgeable, otherwise my sword will not recognize people!"
Feng Ziqing rolled his eyes, begging for mercy, and said: "Brother, if you have something to say, please don't lift the knife. In this way, you can tell me how much this horse can be sold for. I have stolen several horses like this."
, tell me where to sell it, and maybe my gambling debt can be paid off."
When Brother Satin heard this, he was overjoyed. He really got lucky today. There are several horses. I am going to make a fortune. He pretended to cough twice, put on a smile and said: "Little brother, are your horses worth it?"
It’s a small amount of money, so how about you tell me where the other horses are first, and then I’ll tell you where to sell them, so that everyone can buy and sell them honestly?”
Feng Ziqing scratched his head and said nervously: "Brother, it's not good. You have a large number of people. What if you regret it? How about this? You return the horse to me first, and I will take you to the place where the horse is hidden.
I'll go in front, and you just need to stay away from me. Since there are so many of you, I can't run away, so what?"
Brother Silk exchanged glances with the younger brother next to him and decided that it was feasible. There were many people anyway and this kid couldn't run away, so what was he afraid of?
He let go of the horse's rein, and Fu Gui'er immediately walked around the crowd, trotting all the way, and rubbed his arm with his head for comfort.
Feng Zi chuckled and patted its head, saying in a low voice, "Okay, now I'll relieve your anger." He pointed to the distance, patted Fu Gui'er's back, and signaled it to stay away. Fu Gui'er is well versed in human nature.
He raised his legs and ran, standing on the opposite side of the river.
Seeing this scene, Brother Satin opened his eyes wide and asked: "Boy, don't play tricks. Did you see the knife in the uncle's hand? Humph?"
Feng Ziqing cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Brother, how can you do that? Just wait a moment, let's see how my sword looks like and how much it can sell for." After saying that, he took out the heavy sword Chiyue,
Passed it over.
At this time, a younger brother opposite spoke first: "Brother, this sword looks good. It's been a few years, maybe it's an antique!"
Brother Silk felt a little moved when he heard this, so he suppressed his thoughts about the horse, stretched out his hand to take the sword, and said at the same time: "You are a good boy, I will introduce someone to you another day to recognize my feet."
It turned out that due to the heavy weight of the sword, Brother Satin lost his strength for a moment, and the hilt fell on his instep. At this time, he was jumping back and forth holding the soles of his feet like a golden rooster.
The minions thought it was Feng Ziqing who was dishonest, and one of them scolded: "Boy, how dare you play tricks on our elder brother. I don't know how serious it is if I don't give you some color to show you!" The minions holding the mace just took a step,
He received a slap on the back of his head. When he looked up, his eldest brother was winking at him, gritting his teeth, and whispered: "Come on, don't worry about anything, just help me go."
Although he was puzzled, he still acted as he was told, helped his eldest brother, turned around and left, and the rest of the minions naturally had no choice but to follow him.
A joking voice sounded, "Brother, you haven't said how much my sword is worth yet, how can I leave?"
When Brother Satin heard this, he had to stop and turn around. He narrowed his eyes and said with a smile on his face: "My hero, please don't call me Brother again. I really can't bear it and my life will be shortened! I have offended you just now. I am here to help you."
No, I still hope that the hero Haihan will do it."
After saying that, he bent down and bowed, not forgetting to wave and ask the younger brothers next to him to bow. The younger brothers were confused. What happened to the elder brother? He was quite tough just now, why now?
Feng Zi sighed softly, why can't he play so hard.
He picked up the sword and put it into its sheath. The process was extremely easy. Seeing this scene, Brother Satin's attitude became even more humble.
[Author's digression]: I have changed the map after leaving the Novice Village, so I am asking for votes shamelessly.
