Chapter 57 Mountain Harrier Prey
"Baolong protects it, God opens his eyes, so that we can live with our feet, otherwise the white numb head will be wrapped around the head, and every household will cry, and even if they die, they will not even find a corpse. Come, come, bow, bow, bow, bow, and protect the people!"
When someone shouted, they immediately received a response from everyone. They squeezed onto the boat, and they didn't care about the dangers of wind and waves, and they lined up in a row and couldn't stand up. However, what's funny is that they were muttering and saying everything: those who worshiped Buddha, those who worshiped Taoist lord, those who worshiped witch gods, and those who worshiped the heavenly masters. In the small cabin, you can see the widespread beliefs of the world, which is also one of the characteristics of the Chinese people.
Maybe I really have some luck. After hanging on the foot, the rain gradually stopped and several dangerous shoals were passed safely. Since then, the river has been calm and there has been no more bumps.
The girl returned to the cabin and discussed with the man for a while. The man showed off his name, surnamed Zong and name Yu, and it turned out to be affiliated with the prefect of Linchuan County. Then he ordered several entourages to ask the names and hometowns of the people in the boat in detail, saying that they met Bailong Xiangrui and would receive a heavy reward after reporting to the governor's mansion.
Even the common people know that the most suitable thing for the above, and they report their names and add relatives and neighbors. In the last statistics, except for Xu Youqingming, there were 23 people in the boat, but as many as 35 people were registered.
This is another feature!
Xu You looked at Zong Yu and others' behavior, and the spirit of the world was better than the slipperyness of the clerks in the yamen. Although the cards did not look like forgery, they might not be really from the prefect. He Qingming stood at the head of the boat, watching coldly, and did not make a sound. The girl looked up at Xu You, reached out to stop the follower who wanted to come and ask about the situation, walked up to her, bowed, and said, "I know that the husband is very human. If you don't want to leave your name, you will be inconvenient to force it. But the white dragon appears in the world and relies on his noble achievements. The court will have a great reward..."
Xu You smiled and declined, saying, "The talisman of the order is the response of the heavens and man. The white dragon is the response of the saint. What does it have to do with us? If the court rewards it, it will be like the girl!"
This sounds serious, but after thinking about it, it is a little bit serious. The girl's eyes were filled with a hint of shame and did not talk to Xu Youduo. She saluted again and turned and left.
Before nightfall, I arrived at Hekou Town, said goodbye to He Laojiu, and went ashore to find a trip to rest. The next morning, I continued on a boat. It was a coincidence that I met the girl and the others again. In fact, I can't say it was too coincidence. There were not many people who were traveling so early like them, and there were not many ships sent to Geyang. If they were all going to Linchuan, they would be devilish if they couldn't meet them.
Zong Yuruo looked at the girl with a deep meaning, smiled at the corner of her lips, and hugged Xu You. Xu You replied with courtesy. Both sides passed by, without talking, and each went to the cabin to take a seat.
This ship is a two-story large breeze with cargo on the bottom and a manned on the upper floor. It is divided into eight cabins and does not interfere with each other. Compared with He Laojiu's ship, the environment is much better.
Xu You closed his eyes and calmed down, and he didn't even eat lunch. Before he could, the boat arrived in Geyang County. He walked to the railing outside the cabin and saw only the graceful back of the girl walking past the springboard. He looked back at the sunset, then got up and settling on the shore.
Since Shangrao, I have reached the boundary of Jiangzhou. It belongs to the Jiangyou Ministry. The deeper I go, the stronger the dialect, and I almost can't understand what others say. Even if I guess and puzzle, I can only understand one or two percent, which is very much like talking to a chicken and a duck, talking to myself.
Xu You and Qingming, the two young masters, were both academic and genius, but were stumped by Ge Yangyu. They couldn't ask for directions clearly, and it took a whole half hour to leave Geyang County, let alone find the mountain road to Linchuan.
Finally, I simply found a restaurant that looked pretty clean and asked the waiter to recommend the dishes, but the result was either too spicy or too sweet. I saw that there were snakes and rats that others ate. I smelled the smell of the smell, but I had no appetite to eat. I barely dealt with it. When I checked out, I took a hundred cents of money and threw it to the waiter. The extras were used as rewards and asked him how to cross the mountains and go to Linchuan.
The waiter was happy with Qian Daxi. He understood some official words and gestured enthusiastically for a long time, which made Xu You and the others even more confused. After walking out of the restaurant, Xu You laughed and said, "If we get lost because of this, will it become a joke about Jiangdong when it is spread out in the future?"
"The husband is a famous scholar. This is only anecdote, not a joke!"
"You are becoming more and more able to speak!"
Xu You was about to joke when he suddenly heard someone ask behind him: "Are you going to Linchuan?"
Looking back, there was a man standing seven or eight steps away, with a medium figure, a Chinese face, dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, giving people a special sense of righteousness, with sincere eyes and thoughtful manners, saying, "Don't be surprised! I just heard from the restaurant that two people seemed to be asking about the mountain road to Linchuan? I am a businessman who often walks this road. My surname is Chen Mingjing. My family lives in Linchuan County and sells some mountain goods to the surrounding counties. Ge Yang. I came yesterday, and all the goods were handed over." He patted the backpack made of leather, and you could hear the sound of copper coins colliding inside, showing a honest smile, "I'm making some money. I'm worried that it's not safe to leave alone, so I want to join two husbands..."
These days, it is not peaceful on land and land, so it is common to travel with each other. But Xu You thought with his butt, he knew that this person came uninvited, either a traitor or a thief. It is very likely that because he had made great money in the restaurant just now, it attracted the covetousness of those with ulterior motives. However, he smiled quietly on his face: "That's good, but we are going to rush to the night, and we don't know what to do..."
"Night Road?"
Chen Jing hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said, "If it weren't for the two men, I wouldn't dare to walk the mountain road at night. I heard that there were monsters on the mountain, and they robbed pedestrians at night, digging their hearts and livers, and even made soup for corpses..."
This is really a self-indulgent way. What an innocent businessman would join forces with strangers who had only met one time to travel at night? Are you afraid that the money in your pocket will be too easy?
Those who plunder pedestrians at night have never been a monster!
"Is there a monster?" Xu You said in surprise: "Then forget it. Wait until tomorrow, find more people to go with you..."
Seeing that he was backfired, Chen Jing was upset and hurriedly remedy, saying, "I just heard that no one has seen a real monster. Please rest assured, I have walked the night road on the mountain many times, but nothing went wrong."
"Huh? Are you also rushing to the night?"
Looking in the voice, there were still those familiar faces. Zong Yu pretended not to know him. Xu You smiled but didn't say anything, seeing how he was doing bad things. Chen Jing's eyes lit up slightly and said, "Yes, where are you?"
"I'm here at Li Xingzhu, a native of Xin'an, and I'm so excited to go to the elegant gathering of a friend in Linchuan, so I want to rush to the night. I happened to hear the conversation between the two. I wonder if I can walk together with you with shame?"
Zong Yu was a slutty man before, but now he is gentle and serious, pretending to be a literati and elegant person. It is really more than enough.
Chen Jing was overjoyed and said, "The road at night is uneven, so it's always a good thing to have more people. The villain Chen Jing lives in Linchuan for generations, oh, this one?" He turned to Xu You, and Xu You smiled and said, "I'm in Huanghua, Yongjia, go to Linchuan to find relatives!"
The girl stood behind Zong Yu, and when she heard Xu You talking, her eyes slightly wafted, and she returned to peace in a flash. She made an appointment with her colleagues, and Zong Yu deliberately talked to Chen Jing and walked in front. Xu You fell behind two steps. The girl chased her and whispered: "Do you know who Chen Jing is? How dare you cross the mountain with him? Are you afraid of your life?"
"The girl recognizes him?"
"I don't recognize this person, but his method." The girl turned her head and looked at Xu You, looking at him calm and calm, and suddenly a little annoyed inexplicable sense of anger appeared between her eyebrows and eyes, and said, "It turns out that the husband has long seen through the identity of the thief, so I am troublesome!"
"Hey! Don't go..."
Xu You subconsciously reached out and grabbed her sleeve. The girl suddenly turned around, and the green skirt raised a corner, her eyes as clear as snow. Her followers changed their colors at the same time, and her eyes were full of pity when they looked at Xu You.
Xu You let go embarrassedly and said, "I just think he has bad intentions and doesn't know the details. I hope the girl will make it clear!"
The girl stared at her and the atmosphere was awkward. Even Xu You thought she was going to hit someone, but suddenly turned her head and there seemed to be a blush in her ears, which almost made the followers who were watching the show shatter.
"The mountain in Geyang is called Shiba Mountain. It is steep and steep, continuous for hundreds of miles. With poisonous snakes everywhere, there are wolves and wild porpoises, which is very difficult to move forward. There are seven or eight bandits in the mountains all year round, and they come out from time to time to rob the lonely business travelers. Later generations learn from their lessons and are in large groups. The bandits see that they cannot succeed, so they send mountain kalpas to various tourist restaurants and docks in the city to find out that they are harmless but rich in foreign tourists like you, lure them across the mountain, and then fall into their trap..."
"Mountain Harrier?"
"A person like Chen Jing is a mountain harrier, who is specially designed to inquire about information and select fat sheep for the bandits."
Xu You, who was regarded as a fat sheep, felt ashamed and asked with interest: "Why don't you point out his identity directly? Why do you do it too much?"
"My family...the prefect has long wanted to clear out these bandits, but they can't find their nests. They sent troops many times but failed. This time they happened to meet the mountain harrier. Maybe they can follow the clues and find important clues."
The girl paused and said, "Your plot is indeed amazing, but you don't know how to do martial arts. Participating in it will not only help but also adds danger. If it is not an urgent matter, you don't have to rush to this muddy water..."
"Thank you for your kindness, girl!" Xu You smiled and said, "But I feel very happy to have me with you when I see what Zong Langjun means."
Zong Yu wanted to use Qingming's force, but he would not care about Xu You's life or death. The girl looked cold, but in fact she was kind-hearted. However, Xu You really had no time to delay and needed someone to lead the way to walk at night; secondly, she also wanted to help the girl with help, and she helped her when she was saving people on the boat.
