Although Huanglongzhai is less than fifty miles away from Chengdu, the road is almost entirely mountainous. It is winding and winding. It will take at least one day to walk this less than fifty miles away.
In order to get to Chengdu the day after tomorrow, the leader called the villagers up early in the morning and asked everyone to quickly pack their things and prepare to set off. Going to Chengdu together were some young people in the village.
Agui and Duoer are one of them.
After all, for these young people who were born and grew up in the mountains, they can go to Chengdu to see the outside world. Perhaps it is only a few times in their lives. The only few times are for future generations.
As a matter of conversation.
At this time, the morning light was faint and the sky was gradually dawning. The mist in the mountain forest gradually faded a lot. The wind blew and the treetops swayed, startling groups of early birds. The early morning glow shone on the leaves beside the mountain road.
On the top, the lu beads sparkled crystal clear.
Frost and mist condensed on the mountain road at night. When the sun shined on it, the frost melted, making the long and winding mountain road a bit slippery.
Huanglong is full of joy in the cold weather.
The older elders reminded the young people not to forget to bring things, especially gifts for Lord Zhizhou. This made Lu Heng on the side feel extremely funny.
It seems that what old man Zhang Wenshan hates most is giving gifts.
However, seeing how eager these Miao people were at their hometown gathering, Lu Heng finally refrained from saying anything.
This is like going to the hospital in later generations. If you don't give a gift, you will always feel unsure. Maybe the doctor will be resentful and send you directly from the minor injury ward to the morgue.
On the side, A'duo was greeting several sisters like a big sister. Looking at the little girl, her hands on her hips, giving orders in a neat manner. She looked very much like the director of the Fu Daughters Association in later generations. Lu Heng stood there, groping.
Chin, smiling and admiring.
"What are you looking at! If you look again, I'll dig out your eyeballs!" A'duo, who was directing everyone to carry their luggage, seemed to feel that someone was watching her. She turned her head and glared at Lu Heng fiercely, like a bird.
Like a raging little cat.
Seeing the smile on Lu Heng's face, he hurriedly put away his head and pretended not to hear anything. A'duo chuckled triumphantly and raised his chin at Lu Heng provocatively. Then he turned around and continued to direct the little boy.
The sisters are busy.
Agui, on the other hand, was uncharacteristically different from his previous submissive appearance. He began to try to chat with other young people in the village, and helped them string their bows and arrows with a smile.
Lu Heng, who was standing aside and talking to the village leader, turned his head, saw this scene by chance, and smiled lightly.
He finally took the first step!
After the team was integrated, everyone took advantage of the dawn to say goodbye to their parents at home, and drove their horses out of the village on the slippery mountain road.
Along the way, there were many statues of Qingcheng Road gods. Every time they passed by a statue, many men and women in the team would take out some food from their pockets, place it respectfully in front of the statue, and then kowtow and pray.
After seeing this, Lu Heng couldn't help but frown.
You know, the Miao family has its own beliefs. But now, these men and women have begun to believe in this obscure Qingcheng Dao. On the one hand, it is because real life is too painful and difficult, and they hope to find someone
Spiritual sustenance. But on the other hand, Qingcheng Road has become a climate in Yizhou.
However, Lu Heng was slightly surprised that A'duo did not kneel down devoutly like other sisters, but squatted aside and muttered something to her brother.
Seeing Lu Heng looking this way, A'duo glanced at Lu Heng furtively, then turned around and whispered something to Agui, as if she was afraid that Lu Heng would hear it.
On the side, the commoner leader saw the men and women in the village kowtow and pray.
He looked at an elder next to him, and both of them had worried and helpless expressions on their faces.
After the rest, the team set off again.
Chengdu has been known as the Land of Abundance since ancient times. It has a suitable climate and outstanding people. The unique 11 Shu culture has given birth to beautiful natural scenery and people. In addition to the strategic importance of the Great Zhou Dynasty in containing Tubo, the imperial court attached great importance to Chengdu. Several times
Allocate funds to build city defenses,
Today's Chengdu city wall seems to be impregnable.
At sunset, the team finally arrived outside Chengdu Mansion. At this time, the sky was covered with sunset. The sunset was golden, and the entire Chengdu land was dyed with a fiery red glow.
Looking at the majestic city tower in the sunset, and the pedestrians walking in and out of the city gate.
11 The endless flow of carriages and horses. The men and women of Huanglong Village suddenly screamed with excitement.
"Quiet down, you guys are making so much noise, what do you think?" The commoner leader turned back and glared at these young people, then turned his head and looked at the city gate tower with the same excitement on his face.
The last time Buyi went to Chengdu Mansion was when he was a child, and his father brought him here. Decades later, Buyi finally arrived in Chengdu Mansion again. Looking at the tower that had only appeared a few times in his dreams, Buyi was excited.
His old face was red.
On the side, Lu Heng saw Bu Yi's expression and recalled the serious look on his face when he lectured the men and women in the village. Xin Jia found it interesting and shook his head.
While the city gate was not yet closed, the commoner leaders quickly led the villagers into the city.
When they were about to reach the city gate, on the official road behind them, a cavalry consisting of more than a dozen horses stamped on the ground and rushed towards the city gate with a roar.
"Get out of the way, get out of the way." The leader was a samurai dressed like a servant, carrying a sword. He held a whip in his hand, and kept beating the pedestrians who couldn't dodge. While waving the whip, he shouted fiercely.
With.
When these people appeared, the commoner elders immediately reminded the children to get out of the way to avoid trouble. The men quickly protected the girl and retreated to the roadside. They held the hilts of their knives in their hands and looked at them warily.
Looking at these tall and powerful warriors, their eyes were filled with either fear or anger.
After seeing these bullies on horseback leaving, all the people in Huanglong Village breathed a sigh of relief. Except for the commoner leader, everyone else came here for the first time. They were unfamiliar with the place and were naturally afraid of offending them.
Something happened.
However, Lu Heng, standing in the crowd, frowned slightly.
He just saw clearly that in the horse team, a young man with oily hair and a pink face, his eyes brightened obviously when he saw A'duo in the crowd.
Seeing that the cavalry seemed to suddenly slow down, Lu Heng narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment. With a thought in his heart, he waved his hand and called a young man from the Miao family who was traveling with him. He slowly took out the jade pendant in his arms and handed it to him.
In his hand, he earnestly asked him to quickly go to Zhizhou Mansion and hand this jade pendant to Lord Zhizhou.
Along the way, I saw that the village leader and the elders were very friendly towards this scholar. Therefore, the young men in the team also knew that this Han seemed to have an unusual status.
At this time, seeing Lu Heng's serious expression, the young man agreed quickly without even thinking about it.
After taking the jade pendant, he secretly glanced around and found that no one was paying attention to him, so he quickly changed into casual clothes and sneaked into the crowd and left.
Just when the cavalry rushed into the city gate, and everyone thought everything was alright, a sound like a duck's quacking suddenly came from the cavalry.
"Stop, everyone stop! Go back!" After this voice came out from the city gate, the expressions of the pedestrians who were standing on the street to hide changed greatly. They hurriedly lowered their heads and hurried away from this place.
The commoner elder's expression also changed slightly, and he hurriedly waved everyone away.
But just as the Miao family disciples were about to leave, the cavalry that rushed into the city suddenly left and returned.
They waved the braids in their hands, drove their horses, and rushed over with a roar, instantly surrounding the dozen Miao people.
"What do you want to do?" the commoner elder said in a deep voice with narrowed eyes and a livid face as he looked at the group of mangy men who were licking their chins and smiling broadly.
The horse team stirred a little, and then they saw that these men shook their reins and all moved out of the way. A young man dressed in brocade clothes drove the horses forward. His face was a little sickly white.
, it was a symptom of kidney deficiency. After searching around the group of Miao people wearing national costumes, the young man’s eyes lit up when he saw A Duo behind A Gui. He stretched out his hand and used the whip in his hand,
Pointing at Aduo, he said: "Keep her here!"
"What do you want to do?" Agui blocked his sister behind him, pulled out his hatchet, pointed at the young man, and asked tremblingly.
"Haha, what are you doing?" Young Master was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly burst into laughter.
He pointed at Agui, who had a fierce look, and turned to face the servant beside him. He laughed and said, "Hey, what did he ask me for? Haha, he asked me what I wanted to do?"
After laughing wildly for a while, the young master raised his foot and kicked the most cheerful servant next to him: "Go and tell him what I want to do?"
The servant smiled flatteringly at the young master, then turned around and shouted in a stern voice: "Our young master has fallen in love with this girl, please hurry up and get out of here! Don't make our young master angry!"
As soon as these words came out, the expressions of the commoner leader and others all changed, while the other Miao boys stared at these horse riders with anger in their eyes.
Some of them couldn't help themselves and drew out their hatchets.
"Hey, you dare to be so arrogant!" When the young master saw that some of these Miao people actually pulled out a knife, he burst into disdainful laughter.
He hit the horse's belly with both his legs and took the horse back a step. He stared at these Miao people and gave a ferocious smile. He said to the servant behind him in a deep voice: "Bring that little girl back to me. If something goes wrong, my master."
Push it up!"
"Who dares!" The young men from the Miao family all drew out their knives and stared angrily at these thugs on horses.
"Come on!" The young master waved his hand and asked his men to grab him.
The servants drew out their swords with a shout and moved towards the Miao people. However, the young men of the Miao family in Huanglong Village did not retreat an inch. Instead, they all took a step forward.
On the street, swords flashed and swords flashed, and swords were at war.@.
