Chapter 19: The Long Journey
Chapter 19: The Long Journey
After the killing, arson was a necessary procedure, and when the Shattered Star Cluster left with the new members, the original inn was also burned to the ground, along with the corpses, all of which were charred.
Wen Quzhi and the others, all of them followed the road, at the beginning there were still people who were lucky, and now all the new people know what kind of situation they are in now?
β...... You know early on that when they recruit, if they don't join, they will be killed in the end?"
Long Yun'er said, "That's why you agreed to come in?"
"It can be understood in this way, anyway, they did it during the Hundred Clans War, but there are not many times, and the number of people who know about it is limited...... You will feel that you can win the battle all the way by relying on justice and courage alone, and you are too naΓ―ve. β
Wen Quzhi said: "This is a rare opportunity, I rely on these people to make a fortune, and now send such a large amount to me at once, the money to buy you has a chance to earn some back, so a hundred and dozens of people, all of them are money, and those old members of the Broken Star Cluster are even more treasured...... Every time I see them, I'm excited!"
Eagerly rubbing his hands, Wen Quai's appearance was not like a joke, Long Yun'er became nervous, "Don't hurt them, I'...... I'm not going to let you do that. β
Wen Quzhi said, "Oh, what can you do to report me?"
"Brother Wen is kind to me, I will not do anything to betray you. Long Yun'er said seriously: "But I hope you let them live, they ...... There used to be kindness to us, and today we ...... without them."
"Hmph! Can the glory of the past be regarded as the gold medal for avoiding death now? This is the source of turmoil, and as for ...... way out."
Wen Quzhi said: "A hundred or dozens of people have just died, even if it is peaceful and prosperous, human life is not valuable, this is also a big case, you want to let them go, why don't they let go of those who have no intention of joining?"
Long Yun'er was speechless, she really didn't know how to reply, and this migration trip, one walk took more than three days, completely through the mountains and mountains, Long Yun'er was a little skeptical, will he have already walked out of the range of Yingyang County? In his life, he had never walked such a long distance, and by the second day, his feet were already blistered, and the pain was unbearable.
If in the past, even if he didn't care about his noble status, just by virtue of his excellent appearance, he was also the object of competition among the people around him, how could he have the opportunity to endure hardships like this? But this time he became a big fat woman, and the attitude of the people around him was obviously different, when he was out of breath, no one would come to help him, and when he was crumbling, the people next to him competed to avoid it, for fear of being pressed by the fat woman, and it was basically two worlds from before.
β...... If you don't eat with your face, you are like a bird, and the price of ten copper at most will be on the auction floor. β
Every time he was about to get tired, Wen Qubing didn't come to help, but threw a mockery like this, he was ashamed and angry, but he didn't know where to give birth to a force, he just held on, from beginning to end, he didn't shout a bitter or tired, let people see his own jokes.
Of course, he didn't dare to expect him to come over to help, this idea was too unrealistic, even if he didn't consider the enmity between him and himself, the entangled feud between the two families, purely for the moment, his body seemed to be worse than his weak woman, a few days of trekking on the mountain road, he just had muscle pain, grinding out blisters, but he coughed more and more, his face became more and more pale, and he looked like he would vomit blood and fall down at any time.
I still remember that the elder brother of the Wen family was weak since he was a child, and during the time when he lived in his own house, he often had a cough and fever, which was not appreciated by his father...... It's really not a father...... Or the type that the dragon clan appreciates.
But it's also strange to say, no matter how he coughs, how he breaks out in a cold sweat, this man never looks back and walks the mountain road, without asking anyone for help, and that resolute back, looking at it, I often think, will his body not look as bad as it seems? Or, in that weak body, the incomparably tenacious spiritual power has already surpassed the limits of the physical body?
The more you look at it...... The more I felt that I didn't know this man, he didn't seem to have changed at all from when he was a child, and it seemed that he was completely different......
During the three-day uninterrupted trip, when they stopped to rest on the first day, someone came to ask Wen Quzhi and Long Yun'er's identity and name, and the two people who had not confirmed this problem in advance had a problem.
Long Yun'er hesitated: "...... Sibling. β
Wen Quzhi frowned and said, "Brother-in-law and sister-in-law." β
The two different answers made the person in charge of the transcript frown, and also made Long Yun'er surprised, a little unexpected, this man defined his relationship with him in this way, in other words, after so many years, he still ...... his sister
"Why don't you two say the same? What the hell is going on?"
The answer asked was different, the person who made the transcript became nervous, his hand was already pressed on the handle of the knife, and his guard was raised, Long Yun'er stammered, not knowing how to answer, but Wen Quzhi stepped forward and explained a few words in a low voice, the clerk's face was calm, and after a few polite words with Wen Quai, he left without any doubts.
Long Yun'er became curious and asked, "How do you explain the past?"
"It's easy, there are a lot of relatives in this world, and cousins are also brothers and sisters, so it makes sense. β
"Then you say ...... Brother-in-law and ......"
"Cousins can be married, I married yours, and another argument makes sense. β
"Sister, sister?"
"Of course, if you don't exaggerate, how can that guy look admiring?
Wen Quzhi said, and suddenly his face changed greatly, "Oh, it's not good, I told the wrong lie, he saw that you were a fat woman, and he must have thought that your sisters and sisters were also fat women, I didn't eat enough fat meat, I didn't think it was greasy, and I sandwiched a piece, it was simply to eliminate harm for the people, and the Buddha's heart came!
"You...... What nonsense are you talking about?" Long Yun'er was ashamed and angry, but she couldn't say anything too vulgar, she just said: "You are fat! Your whole family is fat!"
Wen Quzhi naturally ignored it, and after walking for three days, the destination finally arrived, it was a peak group of more than 2,000 meters high, the mountain is high and steep, like a tiger lying down, it is really not easy to go up the mountain, but between the peaks, there is a piece of hidden in the clouds and mist, the wooden house that cannot be seen clearly from a distance, although it is simple, but it also has a slight cottage rudiment.
β...... It's actually here...... It's really crossed the line to Huju County. β
The knowledge is far from being comparable to ordinary people, Wen Quzhi can see at a glance what kind of place this is, for these broken star remnants will be built here, it is generally understandable, the terrain here is hidden, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is ......
"That's right...... I didn't think about it for a while, but in Crouching Tiger Mountain, there are famous wall tombs...... The clues are all on the verge here. β
Wen Quzhi slapped his palm, and knew in his heart that Situ Bukong's group of tomb robbers might have gotten an opportunity in this mountain and found something from the wall burial group, but they were discovered by these broken star remnants and chased down all the way.
At the time of the inn massacre, I could see that among the more than 100 people, there were at most about 20 people who had really been born in the army and had fought in battles, and it was difficult to say how many of them had really treated the Shattered Star Cluster, but the vast majority of the remaining people were newly recruited and the result of rapid expansion...... Recruit people, it should be to dig treasure.
οΌ...... The next thing is to see, how much strength the other party has? Dare to concentrate so many people to dig the treasure as a mine, at least there must be a high-level pressing array, which is not something I can deal with now...... There shouldn't be a level, right? If there is, it's dead...... After finding so many people to come, how many people will be left if they really dig up the treasure? Wen Qu was sick and assessed, planning countermeasures, but saw Long Yun'er with her head down, looking at the writing, I don't know what she was doing? I took a look, only to see that she took a charcoal pen, and drew a mountain on a handkerchief, which was actually sketching against the mountain, and the painting skills were excellent, although it was only a few brushstrokes, but it had outlined the lush mountain.
"You still have this hand?"
It's really strange, Wen Qubing can't remember Long Yun'er when he was a child, and he is still good at painting, but he saw the latter blushing and nodded, "Draw and play, I see that the mountain shape in this place is very good, so I want to draw two strokes...... There are many relatives who have come to the door to ask for it. β
Wen Quzhi was a little surprised, I haven't seen her for many years, this girl has actually become a talented girl, it can also be imagined, Long Yun'er's statement is only afraid that she is still modest, usually when she is in the Long family, a large number of people must have flocked to her, just to seek the embroidery of a beautiful talented woman, just for her immortal beauty, even if her embroidery is just average, she will be sought after, not to mention...... Painting has this talent, and her embroidery is not ordinary.
β...... Sure enough, it's scrapped at home, it's all useless skills, learn these and don't, what can I help you now? β
As usual, it was a ridicule again, Long Yun'er was red-faced, and wanted to defend, but Wen Quzhi sneered: "You went to the door of someone's cottage, and you are not very familiar, you just painted it casually, you really think you are a big beauty, and everyone will thank you for painting?"
Long Yun'er was startled, and immediately knew that she had committed a big taboo, sketching in front of the cottage, and she was suspected of being killed at any time, and she just wanted to put things away, but a voice interjected.
"It's not so serious, since everyone joins the group together, they are sisters and brothers, don't be too nervous, well, this is actually quite a good drawing. β
The one who spoke, it was Han Xing's soul, he suddenly came out from the side, looked at the sketch on Long Yun'er's handkerchief, nodded in praise, and his attitude was gentle and amiable, but Long Yun'er's heart sank, knowing that Wen Qu's illness was in his words, if it weren't for this, how could this leading figure suddenly come?
