Chapter 35 The road is heavy

In June, the miasma is ripe in Lingnan. During the day, the dense forests seem to have eyes, waiting for opportunities to eat those animals that have misinformed.

Layer after layer of mist is covered. Even if you walk on the official road, you will suddenly get lost, then fall into the hunter's trap, quagmire, or be bitten by poisonous insects.

However, as people say, these stylish things can still be prevented, while those invisible things are difficult to figure out and scary.

For example, Tanzhi was so scared that he became miasma.

Miasma is a common disease in the Zhuang area in ancient times. Guangxi is known as the "miasma town". As stated in "Guihai Yuheng Zhi": "Miscity, only Guilin in Guangdong and Guangxi has no miasma towns. From then on, they are all miasma towns."

Some miasma is a black miasma gathered by mosquitoes, but most of them are toxic gases after the decay of animal corpses and the temperature rises.

Therefore, although Li Xin and others rode horses and mules, they all carried unique wet cloths, covered the mouths and noses of the people and walked carefully.

Even though I have lived in Lingnan for decades, I am still afraid of miasma.

"He's not here to Qinzhou yet!"

After walking for many days, Li Xin couldn't stand it even if he had a good temper. Yongzhou and Qinzhou were only about 300 miles apart, but they walked for eight days, only more than 30 miles a day.

You know, they are riding horses and mules!

In order not to expose their goals, they took a different path from Li Wei, which is even more tortuous.

"Warrior, follow me and you will be able to arrive in Qinzhou in less than three days!"

In order to be safer, Li Xin specially hired a guide to a staff member.

The guide is only in his twenties, has short hair tattoos, dark skin, and is just wrapped in a linen cloth. He is very cool. He is carrying a bow and arrow, but he always holds a knife in his hand, and keeps his eyes alert.

"Why don't you go on the waterway? Mules and horses are together, and it's very troublesome on the road!" the young guide asked in confusion.

From Yongzhou to Qinzhou, generally speaking, it is difficult to travel through Zuoxi through Luanzhou, to Hengzhou, and then through Qinjiang to Qinzhou. Although it is a bit troublesome, it saves time and effort.

But wouldn’t such a big goal be easily discovered with four hundred people, hundreds of horses, and hundreds of mules? How can we explain it then?

"Take your way, don't you know that many people in this world die because they talk too much?" Li Xin's eyes narrowed and he said coldly.

"Where is that in front?"

Suddenly, a mountain road appeared in Li Xin's eyes, with woods on both sides. The road was very narrow and could only allow one person to walk. For military strategists, it was a good place to ambush.

At this moment, Li Xin seemed to smell the smell of blood!

"It was a rock forest, covered with rocks. Not far away, there was a mountain village where there was a group of thieves, and I don't know how many people died here!"

The young guide stared at the rocky forest hard and said gritting his teeth.

"So, boy, this is the reason why you took me on this road!"

Li Xin suddenly pulled out his knife and put it directly on his neck, but he did not resist.

"Warrior, this is my fault, but this road is indeed the same as Qinzhou road, and it is very remote, so there are many small businessmen.

And my dad died at the hands of this thief in the shed. You are all warriors, so you shouldn’t be afraid!”

"Don't use provocation to me. I read more books than you have ever seen. Young people, you'd better find a reason why I won't kill you, otherwise you will die miserably!"

Li Xin threatened coldly, and his eyes looked around. At this time, everyone had already dismounted and was surrounding him, alert.

"I, I understand the strength of these mountain sheds and can take you to kill them easily!" said the young man anxiously.

"No, without you, we can still kill them, but it's just a little more trouble. Are we still afraid of trouble at this time?" Li Xin smiled coldly, "Goodbye, 18 years later, you are still a warrior! We will help you kill those thieves in the shed."

"No, stop, I'm a doctor, I can cure miasma--" Feeling that murderous aura, the young panicked.

"Well? You are not lying to me, are you? That's not something you can solve by death." Li Xin said suspiciously.

"No, my dad is a doctor, so is me. My family is a ancestral doctor. Therefore, I saved all the miasma in our cave."

"Very good, spare your life!" Li Xin pulled back the knife and said lightly, "Next, I can't protect you."

Soon, a group of robbers ran out in front of them, each holding a big sword and a spear, and some even holding wooden guns. The number of people was only more than 30. What Li Xin paid attention to was just the seven or eight guys carrying bows and arrows.

However, none of the armor was basically half exposed, and it would be good to just slap a linen.

"Be careful and pay attention to those hidden arrows!" Li Xin ordered in a low voice, looking at the group of thieves in front of him, his eyes full of excitement.

Since the killing of the thieves in the siege near Yongzhou, there has been no killing for several months, and he is really uncomfortable.

The old people from the Flying Tiger City were naturally energetic and happily welcomed this easy battle.

And those newcomers who have just joined for a few months are also capable, but they are a little brave and have a pale face.

"Brother, look, why are there so many people?"

"Retreat, retreat quickly, you've met a hard guy!" Seeing the group of bright quick knives, the boss of the thief instantly lost his courage, his expression was distorted, and he turned around and ran away.

"Run, run!"

"Brother, let's run away too!"

"Damn, I want to eat meat!"

A group of bandits fled quickly before they could hit them, just a hundred steps away, which made Li Xin and others look puzzled.

"Du Tou, we won!"

"Go and kill me. We have four legs, but we can't run for two days? Let those new brothers see the blood!"

Li Xin narrowed his eyes, turned his horse onto the ground, raised his scimitar and shouted loudly.

So, a battle to chase and annihilate began.

"Duzhu, that leader ran away, everyone else was killed, was it buried, or burned?"

"Buried!" Li Xin looked at the pile of rags in front of him and felt a little unhappy. Cloth, wood, pottery jars, and even a large amount of animal skins and lead coins, but there were very few copper coins and silver.

"It's because there are too many people like you. If you kill people without burying them, it will easily cause miasma and burn them. So many mountains and forests will be destroyed soon!"

"It's the most important thing for people to die, so bury it! Pick out all the valuable things and bury the rest with them! Who told me to be a kind person?" Li Xin said helplessly.

The young guide beside him pulled helplessly, "If you are kind, you will be good people in the world."
