Wu Sheng did not dare to move forward, but quickly retreated and considered where to go under a rock.
There are many uncertainties in the current situation.
Is that guy named Jin Wuhuan still alive?
Does he still remember the agreement made ten years ago and keep his promise?
Is he coming this winter? Has he been here before? Or will he wait until the middle of winter or even winter turns to spring?
Damn it, I wish I had been more serious about the date he proposed, at least I could have set the time more accurately.
Too many uncertainties made Wu Sheng feel so confused that he simply circled Tianmen Mountain and waited outside a few mountain roads. With his current appearance and the loss of his cultivation, as long as he did not go into the mountains, he would be caught by Chu.
The army found that there was not much danger.
Fortunately, when he returned to his home, he was very familiar with this mountain forest. He knew where to collect enough berries and where to set up hunting traps, so he didn't starve to death.
When snowflakes were flying on Tianmen Mountain, Wu Sheng had been waiting at the foot of the mountain for more than a month, and on this day, the Chu army began to evacuate.
Hundreds of Chu troops came down the mountain road, mixed with more than ten sword-carrying monks. Such a lineup was quite luxurious, and it also showed that Chu State really wanted to capture him.
Wu Sheng hid under a rock in the distance to avoid the snow, and secretly watched them leave in the snow. He breathed a sigh of relief until the flags were submerged in the snow.
That night, Wu Sheng still did not dare to go up the mountain. Instead, he went to the cave where he had lived for the past few days, lit a bonfire, ate a hot meal of roast rabbit, and had a good sleep.
On the second day, the snowflakes were still falling. Wu Sheng tightened the rabbit skins he was wearing with ropes, then picked up a branch to make a walking stick and walked up the mountain road. He climbed over two mountain cols and folded along a small stream.
To the north of the mountain, there was Cuiyun Valley in front of him. He did not dare to go in immediately, but climbed to the top of the mountain on the east side and looked down at a terrace under the protection of the rocks.
On the hillside, there is a circle of firewood fence and two thatched huts. This is his home.
But to be cautious, he didn't plan to go home, and planned to stay here to guard the guy named Jin Wuhuan. The view from the top of the mountain was very wide, and as long as Jin Wuhuan appeared, he would see it very clearly.
The only problem was the lack of food. He didn't dare to go hunting for fear of missing Jin Wuhuan's arrival.
After two days, Wu Sheng ate up all the rabbit meat he had hunted a few days ago and began to think about food issues.
I remember that when I left home, there was half a tank of food in the house and dried meat hanging from the beams. This made Wu Sheng more and more panicked as he thought about it, as panicked as a cat scratching his heart.
Although there is a high possibility that these foods will be destroyed by the Chu army, what if there are any leftovers? In addition, the weather is getting colder. I used to not be afraid of the cold, but now I have lost all my cultivation and can't stop the cold wind.
Whenever he had thoughts, it was hard to resist the feeling of hunger. On the afternoon of the third day, Wu Sheng decided to endure it until night and go home for a walk.
Seeing the sky getting darker by the minute, and when the crescent moon hung in the sky and illuminated the snow, Wu Sheng took a deep breath. He felt that this was the longest day he had ever spent.
Just as he was about to get up, he saw a figure appearing from nowhere on the hillside, passing through the snow, and drifting into the main house of his house!
Could it be that guy Jin Wuhuan?
Wu Sheng looked at it with wide eyes. After the figure entered the room, he stayed there for a long time and did not come out. So he hurriedly went down the mountain and hid behind a tree halfway down. It was much closer to the hut and he could see it more clearly.
, but the hut was silent, and no light came through.
Could it be Jin Wuhuan? Do you want to go over and meet?
After thinking about this question repeatedly, Wu Sheng was hesitant for a while.
At this moment, the person who had just entered the house came out, and another person came out beside him. It turned out that there had been someone in the house for the past three days!
I saw the two of them saying goodbye, one walking in the snow, and the other returning to the hut and disappearing in the darkness.
Wu Sheng was half-leaning behind a tree, his heart beating wildly.
He saw clearly that although he couldn't see their faces, they were both dressed in black and lying in wait in his home. Fortunately, he had endured it for three days, otherwise he would have fallen into a trap at this moment.
Wu Sheng retreated slowly step by step, not daring to stay here any longer, and exited Cuiyun Valley directly.
After leaving Cuiyun Valley, he hesitated for a moment and turned onto the mountain road to Lutai. Lutai is a high platform in Tianmen Mountain, separated from Cuiyun Valley by several ridges. It took about two hours of walking on the mountain road. When Wu Sheng arrived,
,Before dawn.
I came to Lutai for no other reason than to meet people.
Who doesn’t have a few friends in life, Wu Sheng also has one, who is both a neighbor and a friend. This person’s name is Zou Qi, Orion Zou Qi.
Zou Qi was not an Orion originally. Like Wu Sheng, he was an assassin. It is not surprising that Yunmengze is rich in assassins and thieves.
The two had cooperated many times in the past, and when they encountered difficult targets, they would attack together, and they could be regarded as life-and-death friends. Seven years ago, Zou Qi met a woman, so he washed his hands in a golden basin and relied on the money he had saved.
He lived a peaceful life and changed his career to become a hunter.
From then on, the two gradually lost contact with each other, especially after Zou Qi's son was born, and they completely lost contact.
Zou Qi's courtyard is much more grand than Wu Sheng's. The seven wooden houses are connected by pavilions and corridors. The outside is covered with high walls of green bamboo. Inside the walls are ponds, gardens, and chicken pens and kennels.
Wu Sheng did not go over and knock on the door, but sat on a lying cow stone outside the courtyard door and waited patiently for Zou Qi to come out. Zou Qi's woman didn't like him, not because of herself, but because she didn't like the assassin and she didn't like Zou Qi.
past life.
After waiting for a while, the lights came on in the courtyard, but after a while, the lights went out again.
With the sounds of cocks crowing and dogs barking, not long after, the sky turned white, and a woman pushed open the courtyard door and stood at the door with her hands on her hips. She was wearing a green skirt and plain coat, without a silk quilt or a hairpin ring.
The bead pendant looks like an ordinary peasant woman's dress, but it cannot hide her bright and beautiful appearance, making her look like a beautiful woman.
Wu Sheng stood up slowly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The beautiful woman looked at Wu Sheng doubtfully at first, but finally confirmed it, bit her lip and said: "My husband has not been involved in foreign affairs for many years... Last year, a daughter was added to the family..."
Wu Sheng was silent for a moment, bowed slightly, turned around and left, leaning on his wooden staff.
When walking down the deer platform, Wu Sheng didn't know where to go for a moment, and his stomach growled again. He had been hungry all day. He thought about the woods in the mountains where there were more prey, and was ready to try his luck.
It's just that after it snows, wild animals are hard to find, so it's really not that easy to catch them.
When they turned a mountain ridge, Wu Sheng paused. Standing in front of him was a hunter, holding a hunting fork and carrying a package on his shoulder. It was Zou Qi.
