Chapter Thirteen?? Going to the Desert Again
Pei Changhao absolutely does not believe in situations like adventures. They are stories or experiences deliberately made up by someone to achieve a certain purpose. The famous stories of "King Chen Sheng" and "Liu Bang Killing the White Snake" in history are both Chen Sheng and Liu Bang who want to establish their own prestige in order to achieve the goal of leading the people and becoming emperors.
The story of the adventures in the desert has spread in the market towns and villages, and it is very popular. Pei Changhao commanded many villagers to kill bandits, enter the depths of the desert, take down the bandits' nests, and bring back money and materials, all of which were filled with mysterious colors. Some people even said that Pei Changhao killed a large number of bandits in the bandits' nests, and when he came back, he was covered in blood.
Although the market town and Heluo Village are remote, there are still some families who often go to the county town. With the market merchants, they have to go to the county town or even further to raise goods every now and then. After hearing this, they will definitely tell them, so the story of Pei Changhao's adventure in the desert will surely spread slowly.
The mystery of the desert and the story of the gods in the desert are known to the entire Longyou Road and the Anbei Protectorate. This has a direct relationship with King Li Keyong of Jin. It is said that when Li Keyong led the Shatuo soldiers to attack Tuyuhun, they were trapped and horses were difficult to win. Li Keyong was upset and drove his horse into the desert alone. When he met the gods and taught the secrets, he was greatly motivated and led his troops to defeat Tuyuhun the next day.
Pei Changhao would not refuse the adventure of the desert. This matter was clearly beneficial to him and would definitely work at critical moments. However, this matter still needs to be operated. Otherwise, an unknown man had an adventure in the desert and killed several bandits. People would only talk about it as an interesting story after dinner and would not pay special attention.
Killing ten bandits will cause surprise in the market town and Heluo Village, and it is really nothing in Longyou Road.
The weather gradually became cooler, and Pei Changhao's time to leave Heluo Village is approaching.
Pei Changhao occasionally reads the books on the bedside, which are the Four Books and Five Classics. Pei Changhao, the former, also brought these books while escaping. It can be seen that famous families attach great importance to reading and have penetrated into their bones.
Before leaving Heluo Village, Pei Changhao had to go to the desert and planned to go to the woods. This time, danger must exist, but Pei Changhao must go and enter the desert again, in order to continue the story of the adventure of the desert, at least lay the foundation.
Pancakes, jerky beef, camel milk, clear water, torches and other supplies are all prepared. The groves in the desert are not far from Heluo Village, and they are not deep in the desert. The time to travel back and forth and stay in the groves will not exceed three or five days. However, the climate in the desert is helpless, and snow falls in October is normal, so Pei Changhao should pay great attention.
Before dawn, Pei Changhao led his horse away from the courtyard. He specially sent Su Chungui away and prepared to go to the desert alone.
He quickly rushed to the village head. Two figures appeared in front of him. Pei Changhao shook his head helplessly.
Su Chunhua and Su Chungui were both riding horses and waiting at the village head. They all carried packages, and the packages should contain food.
"How do you know I'm going out?"
Pei Changhao was a little surprised. He did all the preparations in private, trying to keep them as secret as possible and not let others know.
Su Chungui looked at Su Chunhua and answered.
"Brother Hao, yesterday when I was in the yard, I found your package on the head of the bed. You said you asked me to pass half an hour tonight. I guess you must go out today."
Pei Changhao nodded. This was his praise and affirmation of Su Chungui. At a young age, he already knew how to observe the situation and make a judgment.
"Okay, I'm going to go to the desert, but it's very dangerous to go to the desert. You'd better not follow me..."
Before Pei Changhao finished speaking, Su Chunhua pulled out the steel knife at his waist, and Su Chungui also raised the slingshot in his hand.
"Brother Chang Hao, Heidan and I have been ready for a long time. We bring our steel knives and slingshots. Don't worry, we won't cause trouble for you. We will all listen to you when we go to the desert."
Pei Changhao looked at Su Chunhua and Su Chungui, stopped talking, pulled up the reins, clamped the horse's belly, and headed towards the desert. Su Chunhua and Su Chungui also pulled up the reins, followed closely, heading towards the desert...
...
It's dawn.
Pei Changhao held the reins and looked at the grove not far ahead. Su Chunhua and Su Chungui were following him, with nervousness written on their faces, and they were also staring at the grove in front.
Pei Changhao has been thinking about it. It was not very long for the bandits to be wiped out for more than half a month. Even if other bandits discovered the grove, it was unlikely that this place would be used as their nest in such a short time. What's more important is that the import of the grove is very secret. When Pei Changhao left, he made further disguise. If he didn't observe it for a long time, it would be impossible to discover it.
With a firm judgment, Pei Changhao came directly to the grove without hesitation.
Su Chunhua and Su Chungui are both good at riding horses and can keep up. Moreover, Su Chungui is observing the surrounding situation along the way and is very vigilant.
More than an hour passed, and there was no movement around the woods.
Pei Changhao on the horse's back still did not move, and he still looked at the woods in front of him.
Su Chungui was able to calm down, but Su Chunhua was different. He thought about asking several times, but when he saw Pei Changhao's focused expression, he could only give up.
Two hours passed, and it was almost noon, and the temperature slowly rose.
Pei Changhao, who was squinting his eyes, finally drove the war horse towards the woods.
In fact, it doesn’t take such a long time to observe. Pei Changhao’s move is to be more careful, not afraid of ten thousand, but afraid of one. Being cautious is always beneficial. Secondly, he is to think about polishing Su Chunhua and Su Chungui’s temperament so that they can understand that to do big things, they must be calm.
After wandering around the periphery of the woods for two times, no abnormalities were found. The most important thing was that the three stones were still far away at the entrance where Pei Changhao was disguised, and there were no signs of moving.
When Pei Changhao arrived at the stone wall to the south, he stopped.
The dead grass at the entrance is almost integrated with the dead grass around it. It is difficult to detect flaws if you observe carefully. The stones scattered around you are very casual, and there is no trace of artificiality no matter how you look at it.
Su Chunhua and Su Chungui spent most of their time looking around, trying to find some traces.
When they saw Pei Changhao dismount, they were both surprised. There was nothing here. The only difference was that there was a stone wall, but such stone walls were everywhere around the desert, and there was nothing strange about it.
Pei Changhao walked straight to the front of the intersection, squatted down, and pulled open the dead grass covering it.
Soon, a path appeared in front of you.
There were no footprints on the path, and some grass that had withered and had not yet withered were covered.
Pei Changhao still squatted down and checked carefully.
"Brother Chang Hao, this is the bandit's nest. You are so amazing, how did you find it?"
Facing Su Chunhua's inquiry, Pei Changhao did not give in.
"The old horse knows the way, and the war horse I ride is the war horse of the bandit leader, and it knows the path."
Su Chunhua still shook her head.
"If it were me, I would be so scared that I would never find this intersection. Brother Chang Hao, you really have an adventure in the desert. Oh, it would be great if I would have an adventure at any time."
"Yes, you go deep into the desert now, and there will definitely be adventures."
This time, Pei Changhao was not polite and directly ridiculed Su Chunhua.
Su Chunhua pursed her mouth, shrank her neck, lowered her head and stopped talking.
When walking towards the middle of the woods, Pei Changhao was still very careful and carefully observed the movements around him to see if there was anything abnormal. Su Chunhua and Su Chungui followed behind and carefully observed the situation around him.
Finally, the three of them came to the middle of the woods, which was the bandits' former nest.
Pei Changhao was very calm, and Su Chunhua and Su Chungui had shock on their faces. They never expected that there would be such a cave inside the woods that looked inconspicuous outside.
The four burnt wooden houses had collapsed, but the only one where the bandit leader stayed, the wood at the base had not yet been burned.
The surrounding trees were also affected, and many of them were left with only dark trunks.
The scene looked a bit terrible.
Su Chunhua looked at Pei Changhao and spoke carefully.
"Brother Chang Hao, who burned this? What a pity."
Pei Changhao's face turned as usual and turned his head to look at Su Chunhua.
"The bandits' nests are mostly marked. The bandits that we destroyed did not like the Jin Town and Heluo Village. They thought they could be easily taken down, so they all went out without leaving any backup."
"Bandits give up their nests must have found a new place. When they leave, they will completely destroy their nests. This is the rule. If other bandits find this place, they will live with peace of mind."
"So when I leave here, I must destroy the bandits' nests. Other bandits come here and think that the bandits in front have given up on this place. At least they will not doubt Heluo Village and will not easily attack Heluo Village."
"This is basic common sense. You must remember that there will be a lot of common sense in this area in the future. I will tell you one by one that different from the market town and Heluo Village outside, you need to master many basic principles."
Pei Changhao explained it in detail. Su Chunhua and Su Chungui need to know these basic knowledge. In the future, you can also rationally analyze everything based on common sense and make accurate judgments. If Pei Changhao needs to make a judgment on everything, it would be too tiring.
Since he made a decision, Pei Changhao would not hide his own private interests in front of Su Chunhua and Su Chungui.
"Brother Hao, you are so awesome and you know everything."
Before Su Chungui finished speaking, Su Chunhua pursed her mouth and spoke.
"Heidan, what are you talking about? Brother Chang Hao has an adventure in the desert, I don't know what happened."
Pei Changhao smiled, without denying Su Chunhua's words. The propaganda of the adventure of the desert had just been rolled out and could not be interrupted.
