The background of the mountain behind Mingfeng Village is not small.
The desolate battlefield left over from the previous dynasty has been covered with weeds, and you can only see a glimpse of green when you climb up. However, Wei Ruzhi pointed to a not too high mountain in front, panting slightly: "The mountain called 'Immortal Jump'
, it turned out to be a thousand feet high. It’s a pity that after the battle of Luofeng, the entire mountain peak was scattered, leaving only the base of the mountain. Now there are only some path-cutting robbers entrenched here, and it is completely lonely.”
Xu Qingmu was very interested in this story. He thought about what kind of battle could split such a huge mountain. That would really be the ability to turn clouds and rain with one hand.
But the old beggar pouted, saying that breaking up a mountain without a mountain guard was worth showing off? He had a disdainful expression on his face, as if he could do it with just a sword.
Xu Qingmu turned his head and said as he walked: "Which one is better between your swordsmanship and chess skills?"
While secretly glancing at the graceful back of the beautiful woman in front of him, Li Chengru took a brush and kept working on the book "Eighty-one Records of Lang Lang on the Cloud" and took over the words: "My skills in bed are inferior to those in bed."
The beautiful woman seemed to be aware of Old Man Li's lewd gaze behind her, so she quietly moved her body closer to Wang Leifang, the only woman in the army.
Old Man Li's eyes became brighter.
At noon, Xu Qingmu climbed up a tree and carefully discerned the mountain. There was a lot of fog in the mountain. Even if the sun was strong, there was still a layer of white mist floating in the air. Xu Qingmu pointed to the looming mountainside in the north and said: "General Shen, we
Can I pass by here on the way?"
"If you don't mind the road being difficult, you can pass here."
Xu Qingmu jumped down from the tree and clapped his hands: "Then let's go in this direction and have a look at the bandits." Then he said, "General Shen, please arrange for lunch, and we will set off after a rest."
A group of thirteen people found a spacious place under a big tree, cleared a circle of open space, and cut all the weeds. Cao Dan and Fatty set up a fire to cook, and Captain Shen Haisu arranged for two soldiers to be on duty, not forgetting to hold tight
Wang Leifang's hands really echoed the saying "If you are not afraid of thieves, you are afraid of thieves missing you." After all, Wei Ruzhi had lived in the countryside for many years. After a while, she picked all kinds of small fruits and held them in front of her chest, matching big and small balls.
Touch, so lively. It was rare for Wolong Fengxiao to calm down, and he began to teach Cao Dan how to make a fire. Making a fire is indeed a skill, and those who know it can light it quickly without any effort, while those who don't often end up with smoke and fire all over their heads.
It was ashes, and blowing on his big cheeks until he was deprived of oxygen would not work. Cao Dan worked for a long time, and threw the firewood in his hand on the ground as if he was angry, folded his hands in front of his chest, and sulked angrily. The old beggar picked up the scattered firewood with a smile.
They picked up the firewood on the ground, blew big words, rolled up their sleeves and started performing. Finally, after five minutes, they were laughed at by Old Man Li and felt ashamed. The last four people, two adults and two children, sat around the pile of firewood without any sparks, staring with big eyes.
They have small eyes, look at each other, and look gray.
They are all a group of living gods who have no fingers in the spring water.
In the end, it was under Wei Ruzhi's teaching that I learned to pull out the solid firewood into a hollow shape before lighting it. Really, if you want a solid fire, you must have a hollow one. Watching Wei Ruzhi lowering his head and playing with the flames, the two brothers had a tacit understanding and squatted together.
Carefully looking at the scenery around the neckline. When the flames lit up, the two brothers clapped at the same time, full of praise:
The fire is so white.
The two old men looked at each other, understanding each other tacitly. After living for most of their lives, do they really not know how to light a pile of firewood?
Xu Qingmu recalled in his mind the route he took when he came here. The only thing he was proud of growing up was that he had a good head and a good memory. His photographic memory was not comparable, but it was pretty much the same. Lin Zhenbei was extremely envious at the time, saying that this was simply
It’s just that the Grandmaster was rewarded with food. Isn’t it easy to get the title? Then he called the fat man who was no longer busy and asked him to help him grind the ink. He picked up the pen and started drawing lines on the paper.
Looking from Cao Dan's point of view, Xu Qingmu, like Li Chengru in the morning, must have been drawing unsightly and despicable works on the paper. However, he still turned his head and stared blankly at Wei Ruzhi who was lowering his head to add firewood, speechless.
Xu Qingmu didn't stop writing until the meal was cooked. The route and easy hiding places were clearly marked on the white paper book he bought in the town. The fat man stretched his head out of curiosity, but couldn't figure out the reason, and replied sadly.
Go to the fire and carefully sit down next to Cao Dan.
I was secretly happy that I was a few centimeters closer than yesterday!
During the meal, Wei Ruzhi mentioned that she really wanted to walk halfway up the mountain called "Immortal Jump"? She was reminded that two hostile groups of bandits had been entrenched there for a long time. The intersections up the mountain were very few and narrow, making it easy to defend but difficult to attack. Once trapped,
If the prisoners are taken up, even if General Wang comes with a large force of troops to rescue them, they will definitely not be able to capture them for a long time.
General Shen looked at Xu Qingmu who was eating wild fruits. General Wang whispered to him two important messages when he came. One was that after this trip, Wang Leifang would be given a copy of the "Holy Economic Scripture" that all doctors are competing for.
, and secondly, the journey was all arranged by Xu Qingmu. Captain Shen was also curious as to what the twelve-year-old boy had planned.
Except for the old beggar and Li Chengru, everyone else also looked over.
Xu Qingmu swallowed the food in his mouth and smiled: "I have to go. By the way, sister Wei Ruzhi, can you tell me about the two hostile groups of bandits?"
Wei Ruzhi felt so happy when she heard the young man calling her "sister". The mature woman, who is nearly forty years old, does not have to work in the fields and do heavy work, so she is well-maintained. She has never given birth to a child, and she looks nothing like it.
In her early twenties, my sister said this directly to her heart. She pinched her orchid fingers with a smile and lightly tapped Xu Qingmu's head: "You have such a sweet little mouth."
Only Cao Dan did not make a sound and crushed the red berries in his hand.
"Two groups of bandits, one on the left and one on the right, occupied Xianrentiao for decades. The leader of the stronger group may have been a warrior, but they rarely went down the mountain to burn, kill, and rob. Instead, they often engaged in righteous acts of robbing the rich and giving to the poor.
For example, the leader claimed to be five buckets of rice. Although the other team was weaker, due to the precarious location of the nest and the fact that the leader seemed to be a famous swordsman, the dispute between the two parties did not come to an end for a long time. However, this group of people did all kinds of bad things.
It has an extremely bad reputation in the neighborhood and is nicknamed "Evil Sha". The imperial court sent out troops many times, but all in vain and with heavy losses." Wei Ruzhi paused for a while, looking at the young man who was thinking silently with his head down, and felt worried for no reason: "Are you going to do it?
Are you going to meet that evil spirit?"
Looking at the somewhat panicked beautiful woman, Xu Qingmu grinned: "Yes." Then he looked at Captain Shen: "Captain Shen, what do you think?"
Remembering General Wang Zhongxin's instructions, Shen Haisu said, "Okay. But the journey is a bit far, and it will take at least three to five days."
"Just in time, we still need to prepare some greeting gifts." Xu Qingmu took a bite of the berries and looked at the five soldiers with playful eyes.
