Yingzhou is located north of the Huai River. It has a flat terrain and converges with rivers. It has distinct four seasons and a picturesque scenery.
Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai came here, and it can be said that there were bandits across the mountains and thieves hidden in the mountains. However, after arriving in Yingzhou, he was considered a fair wife and had nothing to do.
Of course, there is a reason for this...
Because the "Fengmanlou" among the four masters of the imperial court, the "Fengmanlou" is stationed in Yingzhou Guards on weekdays; I dare not say anything else, but only Yingzhou City can still be covered by it. Even if the top masters in the world come here, they will never dare to act rashly, let alone those second- and third-rate thieves.
Sun Huang and the others rested in Yingzhou for three days. They slept for five hours every day. When they got up, they ate pancake buns, drank sprinkles soup, and practiced their exercises to exercise their muscles and bones. When they really felt free, they went to Yingzhou West Lake for a walk.
Three days later, people and horses all eliminated a lot of the fatigue they had saved from their previous journey, so on the fourth day, the two of them rode their horses back on the road.
After leaving Yingzhou City and heading northwest, it was generally going uphill. It should have been a relatively difficult trip, but because they let the horses rest for three days, they did not have much effort. They could basically arrive at the station before dusk every day.
After walking for a few more days, they passed two counties along the official road, and then they arrived at Zhoukou.
From Luzhou to this point, by the standards of today's people, you can reach it in less than five hours by taking the expressway.
But in that year, the hardships of the road, the various things encountered in the middle and the necessary rest time, the two of them walked together for more than ten days, which was indeed not easy.
The two horses given by Mr. Zeng were almost done here, and they had to rest for a while before they could run the long distance again. So after arriving at Zhoukou, Sun Yixie went to find a horse dealer, bargained, and exchanged two horses with the other party.
The new horses that were exchanged were full of energy and had been recuperating for a long time. There should be no need to change them from here to Luoyang.
At this point, Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie obviously no longer plan to take the high-speed rail gang's bus; after all, they have come here, and it is also a kind of experience to walk around the way.
After leaving Zhoukou, the next stop is Xuzhou, which is the Xuchang we are familiar with.
When we arrived in Xuzhou, we were not far from Luoyang.
Calculate the day, if everything goes well, the two should be able to arrive about half a month in advance.
Of course, if something happens to delay, it is hard to say... In that era, the pace of life was too slow. Today, if you have a phone call and a message can explain things clearly, they may take several hours to convey; you drive, follow the navigation, walk on a flat road, and run eight places a day and do eight things... As for the ancients, it is already very efficient to be able to do two things in a day.
This is why, when people traveled far away, if there was anything important, they usually had to set out ten and a half months in advance outside the calculated schedule.
Even if Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai came out early this time, otherwise they wouldn't have had that much time to meddle in other people's business on the road...
…………
Let’s talk about Sun and Huang who left Zhoukou and marched up along the road on the Yingshui River.
This road can be seen from the north bank of the Ying River, and it has a unique flavor.
That night, the two of them were looking for a stay in a village. There were inns in the village, but unfortunately there were not many rooms. Of course, it didn't matter if they were both men sleeping in a room.
After winning the game with a rock-scissor, "spring hand" Sun Yixie successfully obtained the ownership of the bed, while Huang Donglai could only scold the streets and beat the floor.
I had nothing to say until the early morning...
Hiss
Outside the window of the guest room, a strange sound suddenly sounded.
Sun and Huang heard it almost at the same time and woke up at the same time; their reactions were also consistent, suddenly opened their eyes, sat up softly, turned their heads to look, then stretched their heads towards their brothers, lowered their voices and said, "Did you hear it?"
"I heard..." Huang Donglai continued, "And I don't think this is too much like the sound of the wind..."
"Nonsense." Sun Yixie said, "There is an inn corridor outside the door, where does the wind come from?"
"Or otherwise..." Huang Donglai said, "Brother Sun, come and take a look. I'll use hidden weapons to cover you here."
"Mao!" Sun Yixie said, "I won't go."
"Are you scared?" Huang Donglai began to use provocation.
"Who said?" Sun Yixie was desperate for face, and he was indeed trapped and insisted on, "What am I afraid of? I am like breathing when facing danger."
"Then why don't you go?" Huang Donglai said.
"I..." Sun Yixie did not come up with a suitable excuse for a while.
"Brother Sun, are you in trouble?" Huang Donglai curled the corners of his mouth and smiled sarcastically.
"I have no difficulty! I have a difficult problem?" Sun Yixie said, suddenly thinking of something, and quickly asked, "Why don't you go by yourself?"
"I have trouble." Huang Donglai said that he was not afraid of boiling water and replied, "I have a bad heart. What if something terrible is scared to me to death?"
"You..." Sun Yixie has already begun to regret his pretentious remarks just now. It's okay to pretend to be a turtle like the other party. He insists on holding on, which makes it a little difficult to get on the verge of being a tiger now. "Mom... just go!"
The two completed the above conversation in a very low voice. Then, Sun Yixie tiptoed from the bed, picked up the trident leaning against the wall, and looked down at the protective armor he was wearing (with his personality, he would never take off this even if he was sleeping), swallowed, and walked towards the door step by step...
Hiss, hiss, hiss, hiss...
In just two minutes, the sound outside the door not only stopped, but also became louder and more and more rapid. It seemed that it was just for Sun and Huang.
While Sun Yixie walked towards the door, Huang Donglai behind him was not idle either; Huang Donglai also stood up from the ground, came to the angle behind Sun Yixie, and held two hidden weapons in his hand, ready to support him at any time.
They are neither stupid and have no intention of lighting the lights at all, because lighting the lights at this time is obviously more disadvantageous to them.
"Hu..." A few seconds later, Sun Yixie finally arrived at the door. He took a deep breath, then plucked up the courage, opened the door, and reached out to pull the door inside.
babble
The old door shaft let out a harsh moan.
Then, the door opened.
Sun Yixi immediately took two steps back and held a halberd, but found that... there was no one outside the door, only an empty corridor and a white wall opposite the corridor.
The strange sound also came to an abrupt end after the door was opened.
But Sun Yixie did not relax his tense nerves because of this. He held his breath and focused, looked at the dark corridor, and listened with his ears.
Soon, he heard...
Deep, deep, deep...
There was a slight sound of water dripping on the ground outside the door.
Just as Sun Yixie reacted and looked up...
Suddenly! A long black, wet hair suddenly hangs down from above the door, and the source of the hair was an upside-down, pale human face.
"Ah!" The moment the "ghost face" poked out, it let out a shrill scream.
"Ah" At the same moment, Sun Yixie also let out a shrill scream.
Originally, in terms of the atmosphere and the picture, this scene was scary enough. Coupled with the shocking screams of the human face, everyone was so scared that they jumped up.
Sun Yixie did jump up, and he saw... he was so scared that he threw the trident in his hand, instinctively covering his cheeks on both sides of his hands, and in an instant, perfectly cosplaying the look in Monk's "Scream"... Then, he took a few steps back, tripped on the edge of the bed, and fell on the bed.
Not to mention Sun Yixiu, who met the "ghost monster", even though Huang Donglai, who saw the "ghost face" behind him, was stunned for a moment.
However, after seeing Sun Yixi's exaggerated reaction that made people laugh, Huang Donglai immediately came to his senses and threw out the hidden weapon in his hand in a few swishes.
Unfortunately, the man outside the door had already prepared. Before the hidden weapon arrived, she had already put her head back.
Table Tennis Table Tennis Table Tennis…
Immediately afterwards, Huang Donglai heard a very obvious sound of foot tile pedals coming from the roof. He was about to chase after him, but then he thought that something was wrong. No matter how he looked, it looked a bit like a trap to lure the enemy.
Just as Huang Donglai was hesitating, on the other side... Sun Yixie, who had just come to his senses and was a little angry, was already angry and became wise in a hurry... He picked up the trident again, stood on the couch, and stabbed directly at the place where the sound made on the roof...
The inn in this village has broken tiles, and the weapons in Sun Yixie's hand are treasures that are as sharp as mud. His stab was like stabbing a window paper with a knife. The trident penetrated the roof and attacked almost without any obstacles.
The man on the roof did not expect that he would be "surprisingly attacked through the wall". With a rough idea, the entire face of his left foot was stabbed in the face.
She originally wanted to lead the two of them to the top and use the "Liusi Soul Broken Array" she had set up in advance to plot against them. Now, she suffered a very difficult injury before she could do anything... She had no choice but to run away quickly so that the other party would really catch up and end up.
But Sun Yixie didn't know what the other party was thinking. He only knew that there was blood on the tip of the trident after the first stab, which meant that the attack was effective, so he stabbed seven or eight times again.
When Huang Donglai realized something and tried to stop Brother Sun... it was too late.
