001 Is it a strange sorghum?
When you go to Hebei, Yecheng, the capital of Jizhou, must be the first stop. From Henoi, Zhang Wenyuan will go east first, then go north, pass Wude, Huojia, Jixian, Chaoge, enter Jizhou, and pass Dangyin to reach Yecheng.
On that day, Zhang Wenyuan and others entered Huojia City and found an inn.
The sun above his head was burning. Wen Yuan squinted his eyes and made a folding fan, saying comfortably: "Shopkeeper, find a few empty rooms for our brothers to rest." You heard it correctly, it was a folding fan. Because the weather was really hot, Wen Yuan was thinking about the folding fan that everyone had in his previous life during the college entrance examination. The folding fan was simple to make, with tough bamboo pieces as the bones. Since paper was not popular at that time, Wen Yuan used silk as the fan and spread it out in a semicircular shape when he used it, gathered the head and scattered the tail, and was only about two fingers wide when combined. It was very convenient to carry it. Originally, Wen Yuan was very happy when he made this fan. He wanted to mention a few words on the fan, but he was really not well-educated in calligraphy. He only wrote the word "Wen Yuan" and sighed.
However, as soon as this thing came out, it immediately attracted a burst of praise from the guards around him, and he tried to ask Wen Yuan to do a few more tricks.
Wen Yuan was also fantasizing in his heart that if Zhuge Dada came out of the mountain in the future and held a folding fan in his hand, the picture would be... tsk, I couldn't help but smile.
Just as he was about to stay in the hotel, he suddenly saw a group of people coming from the west in dust. The owner was already agreeing diligently, but suddenly he saw the team coming and hurriedly greeted: "Oh, Jun Jun, please wait, the little old man will come!" After that, he happily welcomed the store out.
Wen Yuan looked out and saw that the team of men were fully equipped with leather armor, holding swords and guns, and driving hundreds of carriages filled with large black boxes. It must have been the private armed forces of a large family, with a total of 300 people.
These people were all burly and strong, with excellent military armor. The leading old man who looked like a manager in his fifties rode on the horse. Although he was not wearing silk and satin, he was also clean and tidy, showing the grand style of the clan.
After the company was in charge, there was a pair of big carts pulled by horses. The cart was decorated with gorgeous decorations and bamboo curtains were hung on it. Wen Yuan couldn't see who was inside, but he thought that the style of hundreds of people guarding him would definitely be extraordinary.
The store was very respectful to the manager. He nodded and bowed for a long time before leading a car to the store.
"Shopkeeper, are you?" Wen Yuan looked at the posture of the group of people and stepped forward and asked.
The shopkeeper asked, bowing and beating, "Oh, unfortunately, our boss is going to live here today. This military master, please stay in another place."
"So many people? Stay in your store?" Wen Yuan folded his folding fan and frowned.
The store owner saw Wen Yuan’s face unhappy and quickly explained: “The owner is alone in his love of quietness, and these people are just servants of my boss, so he can only stay outside the store.”
"Damn it! Live a store alone?" Zhang Yu, the person next to Wen Yuan, couldn't help but shout.
Zhang Yu is a fellow townsman of Zhang Wenyuan. He is 23 years old this year. He has been following Zhang Wenyuan since he was a child, from Yanmen to Jinyang, and then to Luoyang, and now he is here again.
The manager heard Zhang Yu's shouting and his eyes turned to Wen Yuan. Seeing Wen Yuan's more than 20 people dressed in military uniforms, he frowned and asked the store owner softly.
After asking, the manager turned to the person in the car and reported that because the manager was limited to his identity, he did not dare to enter the car and only spoke outside the curtain. Wen Yuan vaguely heard the words "Miss".
"We can't live in a few rooms, so it's okay to give them some." The owner in the car said, and his childishness was still as if he was a yellow oriole from the valley, sweet and crisp, and he looked like a little girl who grew up. His tone was well-educated and well-educated, and was not an ordinary girl.
The manager nodded and agreed, turned to Wen Yuan and said, "Since my lady is kind-hearted, I'll give it to you a courtyard. The store quickly cleans the room and lets the lady rest. We'll have to hurry to go tomorrow."
Wen Yuan felt aroused, and went forward to bow and asked, "We are a soldier who works in Yecheng. I dare to ask where this old man is going. If he is on the same road, it is better to rush together to take care of each other." After that, he took out the seal that proved his identity as a captain.
Huojia is a county under Hanoi, and Hanoi is a county under the capital of the Han Dynasty. But it is hard to say who is in charge of it now. Although there are defenders in each city, once they reach the outside of the city, they will become the world of black mountain bandits, and the small bandits who occupy the mountain and become king are even more dotted.
Zhang Wenyuan only walked for three days before, and encountered several waves of small bandits of robbers. Although his subordinates did not lose money, they were very upset.
Especially with the large number of Black Mountain bandits, claiming to be one million, Wen Yuan and more than 20 personal soldiers under his command have to take a leisurely walk on their territory. If you can walk with this team of 300 people at present, you can save a lot of trouble.
Unexpectedly, the manager refused politely: "It turned out to be the Lord Commander, and the villain was rude, but it was really inconvenient to have female relatives in the car."
Due to the hot weather, Wen Yuan and others got up early as usual to rush out of the store. Unexpectedly, the carriage and horses were already parked outside the door. Wen Yuan stopped to watch without realizing it. He saw a little girl being helped by two beautiful ladies dressed in maids and accidentally took a look at Wen Yuan.
I saw the little girl with black hair, tied a princess bun, her face was crystal clear, her skin was as bright as snow, and there was a small dimples on her oval face. Although she was only twelve or twelve years old, she was small and exquisite, with a pink and jade-like feeling, which was so charming.
Wen Yuan's heart jumped a few times in a hurry: "No! I have never been exposed to women since I came here. Is it so anxious that even the little loli refused to let go?"
The girl seemed to feel Wen Yuan's gaze, and there was no distinctive color on her face. She lifted the curtain and entered the car.
Wen Yuan absent-mindedly led a group of personal soldiers out of the city gate. Coincidentally, the little Loli's car was also heading north.
Wen Yuan deliberately slowed down, not because he was anxious to look at the little loli more, but because there were three or four hundred private soldiers behind him, ordinary little thieves did not dare to cause trouble.
Sure enough, the road was much calmer, and there were no more bandits intercepting it.
In the afternoon, the weather was so hot that the whole earth was like a steamer, and the people were dry. Fortunately, they had arrived at the shore of Qishui at this time. Wenyuan found a place with lush forests, so he asked his guards to get off the horse and drink water and eat some dry food, and then lead the horse to the river to wait until the sun is not so poisonous before getting on the road.
The scorching sun was in the sky, and although there were shade from the trees and the river breeze blew on the face, Wen Yuan still felt the heat was unbearable when he fanned, so he went down to the shore to wash his face.
Because the rain did not rain for several months, the water level dropped a little better. Wen Yuan took a lot of effort to reach the riverside. The river water was clear and flowing quietly, shining with the sunlight. Wen Yuan was in a good mood and picked up a handful of cool water to apply it on his face.
"Fresh!" Savoring the coolness and sweetness brought by the river, Wen Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, remembering that garbage was floating on the water everywhere in later generations, and the smell was unpleasant. How could the river water in ancient times be as clear as it was?
It’s better to be like this hot day... Wen Yuan’s heart moved, took off his shoes and socks and jumped into the water with a "puff". Anyway, the weather was stuffy, and his clothes would dry soon after he got on the shore.
As soon as he entered the water, a coolness wrapped around Wen Yuan's whole body, completely isolated from the heat of the furnace outside. Wen Yuan swam happily in the water, completely forgetting everything around him.
Just as he was swimming happily, a long black shadow on the water suddenly winded and swam forward, as fast as lightning! Wen Yuan looked closely and saw a big water snake as thick as his arm and more than five feet long attacking him!
Wen Yuan was shocked! He couldn't help but have a cold war. It was too late to go ashore to get the sword! The big snake opened its hideous mouth and bit Wen Yuan's arm!
At the critical moment! Wen Yuan took action like lightning and grabbed the snake's neck!
The big snake reacted very quickly. It was just strangled to its neck, and its body, which was more than five feet long, immediately wrapped around Wen Yuan's right hand! It tightened in an instant, and Wen Yuan suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from his arm!
Wen Yuan tried hard to break the snake's body with his left hand, but the snake was as slippery as a loach and could not break it off at all!
Wen Yuan was extremely angry and swam around the shore little by little, thinking to himself: "When you get on the shore, you will cut your beast into eel segments! Braised!"
As soon as the snake was about to reach the shore, the snake suddenly struggled as soon as it left the water. Wen Yuan was distracted and loosened his hands. Several blood holes were bitten on his arm! Wen Yuan was furious and threw the snake to the shore with all his might!
Wen Yuan followed him up and thought that the water snake was not as toxic as a water snake, so he didn't bandage the wound. He raised his sword and chased him. He saw that the water snake was extremely agile when he got on the shore. Wen Yuan chased him barefoot and couldn't catch up for a while!
The snake fled in panic. Wen Yuan was furious and vowed to make the beast for dinner. He only stared at the whereabouts of the snake, and the rest did not look at the others and ran hundreds of steps away without realizing it!
"Ah!" With a few crisp screams, Wen Yuan was shocked. When he looked up, two disheveled 14 or 15-year-old maids stood by the river for some reason! No, there were three. Behind them, they were surrounded by silk, and there was a beautiful little loli standing inside! It was exactly what Wen Yuan saw in the morning!
The beast was panicked and approached the three girls. The two maids began to see Wen Yuan approaching with their swords. They thought they were robbers on the road, and screamed in unison. When they saw a big snake coming, they screamed again. When they threw the basin of water in their hands, they didn't care about it, and ran away without even caring about it!
And the beast still swam towards the curtain, and in a blink of an eye it was five steps away from the curtain!
The little loli stood in the curtain, revealing only half of her head, and she didn't know what happened. When Wen Yuan raised her sword and rushed closer, she realized it! However, although she was extremely shocked, she didn't scream, but just covered her mouth with her hands, and her face was pale!
Wen Yuan didn't care about appreciating it. The big snake was about to get into the curtain. At that time, the little loli might be hurt. Wen Yuan thought of this and ignored the pain under his feet! He jumped up several steps long and slashed straight towards the snake's head!
With a puff, the long snake was cut into two pieces by a sword, the snake's blood splattered everywhere, and the curtain was immediately stained with a large area. Only then did the little loli scream in shock! Yingyingzhu tears slid down her pink cheeks.
Wen Yuan said at a loss: "Little Luo... uh, don't cry, little sister, it's just a big snake, I've killed it!" As he said that, he lifted the bloody snake corpse and showed it to the little loli.
"Ah!" The little loli screamed again with no one on his face, and Wen Yuan hurriedly hid the snake corpse behind.
"Thank you for your help! Mi'er thanked me." The little loli recovered very quickly. Although she blushed, she could immediately thank her with courtesy! Wen Yuan couldn't help but secretly admire her. A little girl was so well-educated and elegant, with a grandmother and a chaotic world. She actually ran so far with the caravan. If she hadn't had any defense between men and women at this time, Wen Yuan wouldn't believe that he was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.
However, the name of this uncle made Wen Yuan depressed for a long time.
"Am I the legendary monster?"
