Chapter seven hundred and twentieth first forbearance
The carriage staggered for more than an hour and arrived at the foot of the mountain. Everyone got off the carriage. On the way Zhuang Rou had just arrived, he saw through the window that the mountains seemed to be continuous and thousands of miles away.
It blocked the army of Qingliang Kingdom and also blocked their way.
This is an inconspicuous foothill of the mountain range. Just looking at the size of the mountain range, the lush trees are lush and there is no way out. It is probably ordinary to get lost and unable to walk out when you go up the mountain.
Zhuang Rou held the bamboo stick in her hand and supported the ground with a crutch. She looked at the porter and guard who came here one step earlier than them and were sitting in the forest.
There are about 30 porters, and the goods are piled in large backpacks, all of which are piled up sharply. This trip makes a lot of money.
In addition to the people who came with Zhuang Rou and the others, there were about twenty guards in total. Perhaps the porters were also strong and strong, with weapons hanging around their waists, and they could also be used as guards when they encountered a crisis, so the number of guards was not considered large.
Thinking about the guards who don’t carry goods, they just keep them for free. If there are too many people, big-name households like Boss Hu will not be able to make ends meet.
They stared at Zhuang Rou and his group with cold eyes, especially the three women, as if they had owed them millions of taels of silver and had not paid them back, none of them had a good face.
Tang Wudi whispered: "They may think we are in the way."
"But I paid the money and didn't have to carry them, why are they so fierce?" Wu Shufu pouted and hurried to pull Liu Lang, saying coquettishly, "Liu Lang, I'm afraid."
Liu Lang held her hand and comforted her: "Afu is not afraid. If I am here, just don't worry. Don't pay attention to those rough people. If you can't walk, just tell me that I will carry you."
Wu Shufu nodded shyly, "I won't drag Liu Lang down, I can do it even on the mountain road."
"Well, I'll take you up the mountain." Liu Lang tightened her hand and blocked the eyes of most porters sideways.
Zhuang Rou also looked at Tang Wudi, "Sister is not a cow, so I won't lead you up the mountain. When I go up the mountain, I will get you a tree stick as a crutch, which can save some effort."
Tang Wudi didn't want something like this old man, but when he saw Zhuang Rou holding the bamboo stick, he thought it would definitely be useful for a while, so he nodded, "Okay, why didn't my sister prepare a bamboo stick for me?"
"I asked my sister before, you said you didn't want it." Zhuang Rou really asked her, but Tang Wudi was busy listening to Wu Shufu's interesting things, and he didn't listen to this matter at all.
She was immediately embarrassed, "That's it, I can use a tree stick."
At this time, Boss Hu said, "Let's go and go to the cottage before dark."
"Yes." The porter stood up, and the guard dismounted.
The horses riding out of the city are now handed over to the drivers who are chasing the carriage, and are tied to the back of the carriage and brought back to the hiding place. When they come back from Qingliang Kingdom, they will bring the horses to pick them up, pretending to be riding a horse and riding them back.
Zhuang Rou found that a strong man with a strong man who seemed to be in a black tower, almost with a tall silver man, carrying something like a chair.
She looked at this thing in confusion. Could it be that Wu Shufu was sitting? That would be too thoughtful.
Just as she was thinking this way, she saw Boss Hu sitting on it and being carried on her back easily by the strong man.
"..." Zhuang Rou looked at him speechlessly, and she really enjoyed it. Fortunately, he could find such a strong person.
Wu Shufu was stunned for a while and looked at Liu Lang pitifully. According to her idea, the seat should be a weak woman like her.
Liu Lang, who usually spoiled her, looked helpless, but just whispered to her that he could not walk for a while. Regardless of whether his obviously thin body could carry her, compared with the guards.
But Wu Shufu just took a trick. After persuasion, he happily held Liu Lang's hand and followed everyone up the mountain like a spring outing.
There is a small path that can be stepped out at the foot of the mountain, which is not difficult to walk. The more you walk up, the less clear it becomes. Gradually, there are no traces of the road.
Zhuang Rou found that Tang Wudi had been looking around, as if she wanted to remember the iconic things around her, trees or strange stones. Maybe after she returned to Qingliang Kingdom, she would inform the people there so that they could quietly cross the border and make in.
Then I can also tell the little prince that he would send troops to the dangerous place here and wipe out all of them when they come.
The two of them were like sisters on the surface, but secretly had their own ulterior motives. They followed everyone through the bushes and woods, and advanced on the hillside where there was no way out.
Soon, the road became steeper and some places even need to climb with both hands to get up.
Others can keep up, even scholars like Liu Dadao showed strong physical strength and flexibility, and actually kept up with the team. Not only did they walk by themselves, but they also had to help Wu Shufu climb the mountain.
Tang Wudi was so dazzling at this time that he encountered a huge rock wall that was two or three people high. He used the body technique that could only scare ordinary people, and easily jumped up, stood on the high ground, hugged his hands and looked leisurely waiting for everyone.
The porter and the guard didn't like to talk, and just rushed to the road. Boss Hu praised her several times and asked how powerful her light skills were, whether she could fly over the eaves and walk around the walls and slim water across the river.
That's a high-level body technique. Even if Tang Wudi wanted to brag about it, the old Jianghu Zhuang Rou was still here. What should I do if my bragging was pointed out? I had to be honest and not that powerful.
But compared to everyone, she is already very much like a man from the world.
Zhuang Rou doesn’t know how to be slight, but Tang Wudi dares not underestimate her. This guy is an old man who kills without blinking. The biggest crisis this time when he returns to Qingliang is how to get rid of her.
After hiking all the way, Wu Shufu entrusted Tang Wudi to take care of him, and she used her light skills to drag people to places where she could not climb up.
After passing the pun, it was at most two hours. It was almost dark now, and I felt like I hadn't reached the top of the mountain. Although the mountain seemed to be just one, the mountain peaks were like waves. I felt like I could never finish it in my life.
At this time, seeing that it was getting dark, Boss Hu sat behind the strong man and shouted: "Everyone hurry up, you must arrive at the hut before dark, otherwise you will easily get lost and there will be tigers in the mountains!"
tiger?
Zhuang Rou's eyes lit up, and she thought of the tiger skin that she gave to the little prince before she left, which was a good thing.
"Boss Hu, how can I attract the tiger? The tiger skin is valuable. Does it mean that as long as there is a smell of blood, the tiger will definitely come!" she asked excitedly.
Boss Hu and the guard porter were speechless in their eyes. These rookies who had just left the world were like this. They thought they wanted to hunt tigers after a few moves.
That thing is not a big cat, it can be killed so easily.
"It's not easy to encounter. I just said that just to make everyone go faster. How can tigers be so easy to encounter in such a big mountain?" Boss Hu laughed twice and quickly called everyone to leave quickly. "There is hot water and bedding in the hut, and you can rest when you arrive!"
Although everyone goes up the mountain and walks on flat ground, except for large animals like Zhuang Rou, who do not sleep or eat for several days in the wild, everyone is a little tired.
The pace of travel has accelerated, and finally, after the sun sets, we arrived at a gentler hillside, and stood an old wooden house alone by a stream.
The wooden house is not small but covered with moss, and dried mushrooms that die in winter, full of a wet and cold atmosphere.
Boss Hu finally got off the floor and went up to open the door of the cottage. Everyone entered in a row. The house was still dry and tidy. There was a pile of folded bedding in the corner, a brazier in the middle, and a few bags of charcoal in the corner.
Boss Hu arranged for the two to go to the kitchen outside to boil water to warm everyone's body. In order to reduce the risk of being discovered, they were very luxurious to burn charcoal instead of burning damp firewood.
The other porters put the basket against the wall. Tang Wudi and Wu Shufu were already sitting against the wall with their legs stretched out against the wall like dead dogs. They didn't care about so many people squeezing into the room, and it seemed very crowded. They took a corner first.
Zhuang Rou did not sit over. Compared to the smell of sweat in the room, she wanted to stand at the door and take a breather.
The last porter took off the basket and leaned against the wall. He didn't put it firmly. The basket suddenly overturned, and the pile of goods fell to the ground in an instant.
Zhuang Rou was standing behind him and leaning against the door. She glanced at him and suddenly found a hand under the fabric. She immediately turned her head out the door, as if she was enjoying the scenery outside, but she didn't notice that hand.
The two porters came over quickly and blocked the basket and sorted out the goods.
When they walked away, Zhuang Rou turned her head and took a casual look. The basket was already standing by the wall, with goods and oil cloth covered with waterproof and dust.
Zhuang Rou looked at the people in the room. Everyone was taking out dry food and waiting for the hot water to boil. After soaking it softened, it was easy to solve the supper and rest quickly.
