Chapter 23 Midnight, full moon, fighting, beautiful Yan Xiao
(0023)
"laugh!"
Suddenly, Brigadier General Zhang thrust his triangular edge.
"puff!"
A strange sound came from the woods next to it.
"What's wrong?" Yang Yinghan asked in surprise.
"Cross the mountain." Zhang Zhun replied indifferently.
Crossing the mountain peak, also known as King Glass Coco, is one of the most venomous snakes in the mountainous area. It is good at ambushing humans and has a hidden body, which is difficult for ordinary people to detect, especially on such nights. If you are bitten by Crossing the mountain peak, if there is no special medicine within half an hour, you will most likely die. This Crossing the mountain peak attempts to attack Zhang Zhun, but unfortunately Zhang Zhun has a good hearing. He noticed its existence early in the morning and took the initiative to kill it.
Of course, Yang Yinghan understood what the three words "Shan Peak" meant. She couldn't help but look pale and said nervously: "Then... will we go again during the day?"
Zhang Zhun said arrogantly: "Don't panic! I'll open the way!"
After saying that, he pulled out the triangular thorns in the past, wiped them clean on the leaves, and then picked out the snake gall with a waist knife and placed it in a special bamboo tube. The bamboo tube contains strong wine. The snake gall of the poisonous snake is very precious, so Zhang Zhun naturally cannot waste it. An elderly man like Yang Kaide eats a snake gall from time to time, which is very good for his body. After packing up, lead the way.
Yang Yinghan followed him carefully.
Along the way, poisonous snakes and venomous insects appeared from time to time. Zhang Zhun killed two mountain peaks in total, one jumped three steps, a silver ring snake, and a sharp-toned viper, a bamboo leaf green, and a soldering iron head. If all the dead snakes were placed together, it would be possible to hold a venomous snake exhibition. All the killed poisonous snakes and snake gallbladders were dug out without exception and put in a strong wine.
It took Zhang Zhun a lot of effort to clean up these poisonous snakes. When the two arrived in Taohuayu, it was already completely dark. Fortunately, they had prepared the torches when they went out. At this time, they lit the torches and looked for the medicinal materials to use. It was indeed a bit troublesome to collect herbs at night, but time was precious, so they had to do so.
Fortunately, the herbs in Taohuayu are quite rich. Perhaps they are protected by those poisonous snakes, so the herb collectors cannot come here. Panax notoginseng, Cuckoo, Jiubiansheng, Blood Huzhu, North Asarum, Sijiqing, Isatis root, Yanhusuo and other common Chinese herbs that treat bruises and injuries, eliminate inflammation and relieve pain, relieve muscles and promote blood circulation can be easily found here. Therefore, although it was already night and the light was very bad, the two of them still picked enough herbs.
Looking at the stars in the sky, I guess it might be that it was not yet. The two of them returned along the same route. Because they had picked enough herbs, they were in a good mood. They were alone again, and subtle feelings quietly lingered in their hearts. The two of them, who had been tired for a day, did not feel tired at all.
In mid-February, the moon was very round and the moonlight was very good, illuminating the small paths in the mountains. The two extinguished the torches and walked lightly under the moonlight. Because of the obstruction of poisonous snakes, Zhang Zhun was still very vigilant when walking and did not dare to be careless at all.
Suddenly, Zhang Zhun made a gesture and the two of them squatted down quickly.
Yang Yinghan thought he had encountered a poisonous snake again, but unexpectedly, Zhang Zhun did not attack, but listened quietly to the movements around him. Yang Yinghan listened carefully and also heard dinging sounds from afar, not knowing what he was doing. Only when Zhang Zhun heard it, he knew that it was a collision of weapons.
Could it be that someone had a fight nearby?
"Hide here and don't move."
Zhang Zhun whispered.
Yang Yinghan obediently hid in the darkness behind him.
Zhang Zhun tiptoed forward two steps, looked outside, and found two groups of people in front of him fighting fiercely. The weapons collided with each other, and all kinds of sounds were heard.
The place where the two groups of people fought was a valley, with only two exits in the north and south. If you guessed correctly, it should be the group of people in the middle of the valley, who were ambushed by another group of people, and more than twenty corpses were lying on the ground. However, there were still thirty or forty people around the open space. Although the moonlight was very good, they still lit many torches. The burning fires shone red in the entire open space.
Judging from their appearance, they should be both Yan Xiao, who are the same type of people as Lei Laosan.
In the chaotic times of the Ming Dynasty, everyone's life was not easy. Selling private salt made money quickly and profitably. Many people took risks and joined the ranks without hesitation. However, because the money was fast and profitably, the competition was very fierce. It is normal to have a disagreement and draw swords to each other. Otherwise, the herbs for treating bruises and injuries in the medicine shop would not be so popular. If there was no salt owl fighting one day, I would feel something was wrong.
However, what surprised Zhang Zhun was that the besieged Salt Owl was actually a woman. The Salt Owl did a head-lost business, licking blood from the blade, and was cruel and cold. Logically speaking, women should never appear in this industry. However, what Zhang Zhun saw was clearly a woman. Moreover, the salt Owl around protected her in the middle, and you could tell that it was the big leader of the Salt Owl at a glance.
The moonlight in the sky and the fire on the ground reflected the surroundings of the open space like daylight. Zhang Zhun could see everything about that woman very clearly. She was wrapped in a black fur coat, and she could not see her figure clearly. However, this woman was pretty, tall, and so expensive, and obviously was not an ordinary woman.
In terms of appearance alone, this woman is not under Yang Yinghan. Her eyes are very bright and are particularly obvious in the beating fire. Compared with Yang Yinghan, she has a little more charming, mature, delicate and mysterious taste, which has a certain temptation to a psychologically mature man like Zhang Zhun.
Could it be that the people around him are greedy for her beauty?
The salt owls that besieged her were holding torches in their hands, and the beating fire light kept shaking on the female salt owl's cheek. At this time, Zhang Zhun could see more clearly that on the woman's left ear, she was wearing a dark green jade earring. But her right ear did not have any ornaments. The woman wearing only one earring was indeed a bit abrupt.
The situation was obviously very bad for this female salt owl. Most of her entourage had fallen down, and there were less than twenty people left now. However, there were at least forty enemies around her. What made Zhang Zhun feel a little impressed was that despite the unfavorable situation, the female salt owl was calm and did not look panicked at all. There was no panic on her pretty cheeks.
Since it was a salt owl's internal strife, Zhang Zhun was too lazy to interfere, so he quietly turned around.
In the situation outside, the woman was obviously out of an absolute disadvantage. In less than half an hour, all the people around her would be wiped out, and she should not be able to escape. When the battle ended, the two of them could return the same way.
Yang Yinghan asked in a low voice: "Who is fighting with whom?"
Zhang Zhun said casually: "Two groups of salt owls fight in fire."
As he said that, he briefly mentioned the situation outside, but did not mention the woman.
Yang Yinghan didn't pay attention and squatted behind him silently, waiting for the battle between the salt owls to end.
"ah!"
Suddenly, a scream came.
It was the scream of the woman.
Yang Yinghan immediately felt sympathy and asked in surprise: "Is there a woman in Yan Xiao caught?"
Zhang Zhun nodded and said casually: "It's not that I was caught, the besieged Salt Owl's head is just a woman."
Yang Yinghan immediately said, "Then you save her."
Zhang Zhun said disapprovingly: "Save her? She is a female salt owl, and she is still a leader!"
Yang Yinghan whispered: "She is a woman after all! If there was no way, which woman would be willing to be a salt owl? Besides, she might not be a bad person! If she was a bad person, how could she be besieged by others?"
Zhang Zhun remained silent.
I believe that only she will have such reasoning.
Yang Yinghan is kind-hearted and innocent, and this is unquestionable. Otherwise, she would not have judged so simply who is right or who is wrong. However, her words are not completely unreasonable. If it were not impossible, no woman would have been willing to be the leader of a salt owl. After all, this is the absolute realm of men. It would be very, very dangerous for a woman to step in.
The reason why he didn't take action at the first time was that he didn't want to involve the battle in the salt owl. It was a battle in another field and had nothing to do with his goal. However, it was indeed a bit unreasonable to sit and watch a woman be killed under his nose, especially Yang Yinghan had already made a request.
As for the interference with the battle between the salt owls, it may cause trouble to Yangjiatun, Zhang Zhun was not worried at all - is he still having less trouble?
"You stay, I'll go and save her."
Zhang Zhun said calmly.
Yang Yinghan immediately hid back into the darkness.
Zhang Zhun took a breath, pulled out the triangular thorn, and tiptoed over with his ex-husband.
The salt owls besieged outside were quite tightly guarded, and there was a salt owl every five feet away. However, no matter how tight their guard was, they naturally had no effect in front of Zhang Zhun, a real master of the Marine Corps.
Zhang Zhun quietly appeared in a dark corner where moonlight and firelight could not be shined.
In front of him was a salt owl holding a torch.
"laugh!"
The triangular thorn pierced into the salt owl's chest almost silently.
The salt owl died immediately.
Zhang Zhun covered his mouth to prevent him from making any noise. At the same time, he reached out and gently took the torch and inserted it on the ground, continuing to keep the flames illuminated.
Then, drag the body quietly into the jungle behind.
Then, he slowly lurked behind the second salt owl along the darkness.
"laugh!"
The second...
"laugh!"
The third...
The salt owl who besieged the woman never expected that someone would come to make trouble at this time. Their attention was all concentrated in the middle of the valley. In fact, they had become accustomed to thinking that even if someone passes by occasionally, they would hide away. The salt owls were fighting, who would come to join in the fun? Do you think they were not dying fast enough?
But in the world, there are people who are willing to meddle in other people's business!
