Chapter 20: Don't you see, the thieves are coming up from the sword light mountain
Ding dong......
Zhang Baoer gritted his teeth and plucked his jade fingers slowly on the eleven-stringed harp. He slowly played a song like "Two Tigers" that had been castrated.
Although he didn't play well, his tone was correct, which made him very happy - he found that he was very talented.
The only regret is: this piano is not as simple as it looks. Although the strings are very thin, they are terrifyingly tight!
For the first four strings, he used a little more force and was able to produce sound in the middle, although the sound was not very loud;
It takes a lot of effort for him to make a small sound with the three sticks in the middle, especially the seventh stick, which is so small that it is almost inaudible. Of course, the premise is that the position he fiddles with is in the middle.
As for the four ones at the back, he tried everything he could to make them make no sound. Even if he hit them on a stone, the stone would only be cut open. They remained silent like ruthless people.
Perhaps this is the reason why Tang Tiantian committed sabotage.
Fortunately, the first seven strings occupied the seven-note scale he knew, so he could still practice it with some effort.
"Dong~~~"
"Hey...this piano is really not simple, and that old guy is even more not simple!"
The song "Two Tigers" was finally played. Zhang Baoer looked at his black, red and painful fingers and smiled bitterly. This comparison showed his superiority with the green-haired old man.
"Stab the heart?!"
Immediately afterwards, he seemed to have thought of something, and stared at the piano fixed on his thigh by the rattan - if it was not fixed, the piano would not sound when he played it, and would just follow the fingers.
After a few breaths, he seemed to have made up his mind. He immediately untied the rattan and stood up, then walked out of the earthen house with Qin in his arms.
After wandering around the tribe, he shook his head in disappointment and walked out of the tribe.
"right here!"
When he saw a big tree with a flat side, he was so pleasantly surprised that he immediately ran over and fixed the piano to the big tree with a wolfskin rope.
Then, he took out the broken sword and hooked the fifth string with the guard of the sword hilt;
Then, just pull back hard!
"drink!"
He almost used all his strength, his feet sank into the soil, and the big tree made a creaking sound. When he pulled the string three inches, he knew that this was his limit.
So, he shouted in his heart:
"put!"
Boom~~~
A huge crisp sound sounded. Zhang Baoer fell to the ground with his ears deafened, and the air seemed to be vibrating obviously!
The birds were chirping in the forest that had just calmed down, and the big trees were shaking violently. Almost all the leaves were broken and scattered, and there was an inch-deep scratch on the trunk.
There was silence in the tribe at first, and then there were sounds of begging and kowtowing one after another, thinking that some god was angry!
Tang Tiantian and Xiao Ha were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other and ran out of the tribe together.
When they arrived at the place where the incident occurred, Zhang Baoer, with fiery eyes, had just stumbled up from the pile of leaves, and then frantically rushed towards the Thorny Heart Qin like an infatuated man.
The direction he rushed towards was the root of the tree, because the rope made of the tough Wolf King's skin was broken with that sound, and the piano naturally fell down.
Seeing his appearance, Tang Tiantian's eyes lit up, but then she thought of something again, shuddered, and quickly stopped.
Xiao Ha, on the other hand, had no worries. He let out a haha and quickly ran to Zhang Baoer's side and put his head close to her.
"Hahaha...good piano!"
Zhang Baoer looked up to the sky and laughed, patted Xiao Ha on the head, then turned back and told Tang Tiantian: This is a good piano!
His eyes were burning, and he wanted to try the sixth harp again, but after remembering the terrible scene just now, he shuddered and quickly gave up the idea.
"Haha, let's go! Go back to sleep!"
It's strange that I can sleep...
That night, Zhang Baoer played all night. In the first half of the night, he still played "Two Tigers", and in the second half of the night, he played "Only Mom is Good in the World" because he had spent half the night practicing "Two Tigers" to perfection!
Although the last three high scales can still only produce low notes...
At dawn, Zhang Baoer, who was still full of emotions, reluctantly wrapped Qin alone and tied it tightly behind his back.
When he picked up Xiao Ha who didn't want to get up and walked out the door, he saw that everyone had panda eyes. Only then did he realize how fascinated he was!
"Um...thank you everyone for your hospitality, we'll take our leave...Tang Tian! Hurry up!"
He smiled coquettishly and called Tang Tian and others on their way.
"Have a nice trip, my lord!"
Everyone in the tribe knelt down because last night the only witch in the tribe told everyone: Zhang Baoer is a god who has descended to earth.
Since then, "Two Tigers" and "Only Mother is Good in the World" have been widely circulated in the Western Wilderness. People say that these are songs taught by gods...
...
On the third day, Zhang Baoer did not play the piano because his fingers were swollen, numb, and inflexible, and he could not play...
Seeing his dejected look, everyone was happy because they hadn't slept well in the past two days. Even Duoduo, who had always been well-behaved, was so happy that he blinked at Tang Tiantian behind Zhang Baoer's back.
However, on the fourth day, they became miserable again - for some reason, Zhang Baoer's resilience was terrifying, and he was almost completely healed in one day.
This is indeed terrifying. You must know that Tang Tiantian is at the level of a spiritual beast, and the bruises she got from being beaten a few days ago are still vaguely visible!
Fortunately, Zhang Bao'er also felt embarrassed and rested a mile away from everyone else. Although the sound could still be heard, he could still fall asleep if he plugged his ears with something.
...
On the eighth day, the group arrived at the swamp, and a smell of decay and damp hit their faces.
Looking from a distance, I saw only clusters of white light, green light, black light and blue light, mostly black light.
White and blue are the white clouds and blue sky reflected in the water;
The green ones are tufts of short grass;
Black is bubbling mud or shallow water.
Zhang Baoer frowned and decided not to go through the swamp, but to take a detour and go south to the desert! Besides, the swamp is difficult and the speed is very slow.
So, the group of people headed south along the edge of the swamp.
Wow!
The next day, with a flash of water, they saw from a distance that an elk drinking water was swallowed by a crocodile lying in wait in the water. Everyone was horrified because the crocodile was seven or eight feet long and huge!
According to Tang Tiantian's estimation, this is a junior spiritual beast!
"Fortunately we didn't go into the swamp!"
Zhang Baoer is very lucky. Although it is not within the scope of the Death Mountain, there is no order here. It is not surprising that spiritual beasts live there.
Next, they walked farther away from the swamp.
However, when he saw the desert the next day, Zhang Baoer's face fell. The strange landform bordering the swamp and the desert was not surprising, because his attention was attracted by other things:
Hundreds of calf-sized scorpions were grabbing for something to eat at the border, and the surroundings were covered with various bones.
There is no way... we can only go around a little more!
The heat in the desert is unbearable. Although the sun is scorching, more of the heat comes from the earth - this is very strange, but Zhang Baoer has no time to study it, and he doesn't put enough thought into the piano.
After only walking for an hour or two, he and Tang Tiantian were sweating profusely, not to mention Duoduo and the three of them. If Duoduo hadn't been held by him, they might have fallen into a coma long ago!
Fortunately, as time went by, the wolf meat jerky they brought was running out. Guang Hongqi and Hulu Baoguang could carry it, and Tang Tian, who had just been 'liberated', could devote all his energy to the great undertaking. middle!
She didn't complain, because Zhang Baoer had a harder time than her: not only did he have to carry Qin and hold Duoduo and Xiaoha, but he also had to drag a large bundle of firewood - a few days ago the residents of the tribe said: The desert is very weird, and at night , the earth does not radiate heat, it is very cold; if there is no fire, it does not matter whether it is cold or not, there is an unknown nocturnal poisonous insect that can kill people, and fire can repel the insects!
As soon as the sun set, they discovered that just as those people said, the desert, which was as hot as ashes during the day, actually turned cold quickly.
If something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
They were so panicked that Zhang Baoer stopped playing the piano. He and Tang Tiantian took turns keeping vigil.
Fortunately, this night and the following six nights passed safely. Although there would be creepy rustling noises every time it got dark, nothing happened.
Finally, on the seventh day, a flash of green appeared at the end of the field of vision. They looked like beggars and speeded up with laughter. After half a day, hills with sparse vegetation were right in front of them!
They were very lucky. They found a water source before dusk... Zhang Baoer, with red eyes, immediately announced: Camp, bathe, eat and sleep here today!
And, of course, playing the piano - he can finally play the piano again!
...
After another four days, they were very happy because they found a road. Although they didn't meet anyone, the road was very smooth and had ruts! This meant that they had a road to walk without having to climb over mountains and ridges.
Zhang Baoer took out the map and compared it. There was no mark on the map, but he guessed that this road connected Red City and Stone City.
In other words: If nothing unexpected happens, they only need to follow this road for another three or four days to reach Stone City!
"Brother! When we get to the human city, you have to buy me candy!"
Only then did she find the way, and Tang Tiantian couldn't wait to say the above words while drooling.
Zhang Baoer nodded in agreement. They didn't have much money, and there wasn't much Wolf King meat left. His confidence came from: a whole tattered silver wolf skin, half a intact Wolf King skin, and three intact gray wolf skins. Wolfskin, and his wisdom!
His wisdom is his greatest reliance. After the earth entered the mid-21st century, the population skyrocketed. Although scientific progress was rapid, it could not benefit everyone. Zhang Baoer lost his parents when he was a child and lived with his sister in dire straits. , crawling and rolling.
As the saying goes: Children from poor families become masters early!
He believes that he can live well here. Although the environment is different, some things are universal, and 'wisdom' is the second type! (The first type is the instinct to survive!)
"kill!"
Just when he was thinking about the past, a loud shout suddenly came from the mountain on one side, and Zhang Baoer suddenly woke up!
I saw dozens of ferocious-looking men and women, coming from the mountain to kill here. The strongest one rushing towards me was a big man with an open chest. He was holding a six-foot broadsword shaped like a hatchet in his hand!
The knife is very sharp, shining brightly, and emits a fierce white light!
"Robbery?!"
Zhang Baoer was suddenly startled, and then a little confused, because he thought:
Before robbing, don't they all like to say something like, 'I opened this mountain, I planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, leave the money to buy the road! If you dare to say no, come forward and pull your head. Die in the wilderness.
It's an opening line like "I'll take care of you, I won't bury it. I'll send you to the Wangxiang Tower and you'll never come back."
Why...just kill the general without saying anything?
It’s so...vulgar! It’s really vulgar!
