Origin Chapter 193: Night Smell

Because it was early spring, there were not many insects in the mountains. Except for the occasional bird chirping in the distance, the surroundings were very quiet. Wu Zhongyuan led his horse to walk in the dark night. where to go.

Although there were horses at this time, there were few cars, and most of the roads were narrow. The road he walked at this time was only more than two feet wide. It was not that he deliberately chose a narrow road, but The other fork is just as narrow as this one, and it is impossible to distinguish the primary from the secondary.

Wu Zhongyuan walked very slowly. It is very dangerous to walk alone in the mountains in the dark. There are wild beasts hiding everywhere, so you have to be alert at all times. But this is only one of the reasons why he is walking slowly. Another reason is that he is not sure whether the path he is currently walking is the right one. If he goes wrong, he has to go back.

The sound of horse hooves when White Nose was walking reassured him a little. With White Nose by his side, at least he was not alone.

Fear mainly comes from the unknown, and darkness is a kind of the unknown. Fortunately, he has night vision and can see the surrounding scenery clearly, which also makes him nervous, but never fear.

I have been walking with my head down for more than half an hour, and there is a dark shadow in front of me. Due to the distance, I can't see what it really looks like. I can only see that the moving posture of the shadow looks like a human walking.

Although I had always hoped to meet a passerby and ask for directions, but when someone did show up, Wu Zhongyuan became nervous, because he couldn't determine whether the person was a good person or a bad person. Those who can hurry in the dark have night vision. Ability, if it is a good person, that's fine, if it is a bad person, if it sees the horse and the goods on the horse, it is likely to take it away.

As the distance shortened, Wu Zhongyuan could clearly see the appearance of the person who came. It was a short, fat man in a big coat, with a yellow dog skin hat on his head, carrying a bag and carrying a knife, with a fierce look on his face.

While Wu Zhongyuan looked at this man, the short and fat man was also looking at him, his eyes were not very friendly, he was hostile and vigilant.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't stop, and the short and fat man didn't stop either. When he was going head-to-head, whoever stopped first showed who was timid. When the short and fat man approached, Wu Zhongyuan said loudly, "It's not easy, I finally met someone. "

Actually, his voice is not that rough. The reason why he spoke in a rough voice was to show his courage. As soon as he said this, the short and fat man frowned slightly and tilted his head to look at him.

"This eldest brother," Wu Zhongyuan raised his hand, "It's freezing cold, let's have a drink and go."

"What do you want to do?" The chubby man frowned at him.

"I don't want to do anything," Wu Zhongyuan immediately took down the jar of wine that the inn had given before, "I seem to be lost, and I want to ask you a question."

"Where are you going?" asked the short, fat man.

"Is this the way to go to the fox clan?" Wu Zhongyuan handed the wine jar to the short and fat man, "Two mouthfuls."

"Yes." After finishing speaking, the short and fat man walked forward without taking the wine jar that Wu Zhongyuan handed over.

"Two sips." Wu Zhongyuan said again.

"Stop drinking," the chubby man waved his hand, "The fox clan is not near here, so let's go."

Wu Zhongyuan shouted his thanks, put away the wine jar, and walked on with the horse.

This time, he won't panic anymore. In fact, the difficulties he may encounter along the way are not what he is most worried about. What he is most worried about is that he is going in the wrong direction.

Not far away, the sound of horse hooves came from behind, and along with the sound of horse hooves, there were the sounds of men and women joking and laughing. I listened carefully, as if they were flirting.

Hearing the two of them talking, Wu Zhongyuan hurriedly led the horse into the woods by the roadside. The man's voice was very unfamiliar to him, but the woman's voice was familiar to him. It was the Lady of Hundred Flowers who spoke to him last night.

The Lady of Hundred Flowers and the man were in a state of turbulence at this time, and they didn't find Wu Zhongyuan in the forest. They galloped past and headed southeast.

When the two of them were far away, Wu Zhongyuan led the horse out of the woods. Lady Hundred Flowers had seen him last night. Fortunately, she hadn't discovered him just now, otherwise he would have to entangle him.

Not too far away from the south, I suddenly heard the sound of breaking wind behind me. Looking back, I saw two men galloping from the north. In front of them was a young man of twenty-five or six years old. Behind him is a middle-aged man in his forties.

The two walked in a hurry, and when Wu Zhongyuan approached, they neither stopped nor circled, but jumped straight over his head and continued to swept forward.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at the two people who were far away. He didn't know who they were, but he knew who they were. These two people were warriors of the bird tribe. The basis for judging was their backs. with a small wooden box.

What Sanhu transferred was not all Wu Kui's memory, but some things that were not mixed with Wu Kui's subjective cognition. In Wu Kui's memory, this kind of small wooden box was used by the bird warriors to store their armor. .

Birds are good at smelting metals. Their warriors can improve their strength by wearing special armor. Warriors of different levels can wear different levels of armor, and the range of inspired armor is also different. Ten miles away, the blue air warrior can summon Baili, while the purple air warrior can summon his armor from thousands of miles away.

The two bird warriors in the past should be blue qi or dark blue, and the range of the summoned armor is limited, so they need to be carried with them.

Standing for a while, Wu Zhongyuan pulled his white nose and walked forward again. He didn't go too far when he vaguely heard someone arguing in the south. Among them was a female voice, which seemed to be Lady Hundred Flowers.

The place where the voice came from is in Shanyang, and he is currently located in Shandong. He can only hear the quarrel, but he can't see who Lady Hundred Flowers is arguing with.

The advantage of a white nose is that it is not easy to be frightened, nor sneeze, so Wu Zhongyuan does not worry about revealing his whereabouts, so Wu Zhongyuan walked forward and listened carefully.

A middle-aged man was arguing with Lady Hundred Flowers. The reason for the quarrel seemed to be accusing Lady Hundred Flowers of giving them fake medicine, while Lady Hundred Flowers was arguing, only saying that the medicine given to them was prepared from snakes and insects. There will be no fake.

The middle-aged man has been blaming Lady Hundred Blossoms, accusing her of getting a benefit but giving fake medicine, which ruined their affairs. Lady Hundred Blossoms seems to be very jealous of the person who speaks, and she doesn't dare to offend too much. She only says that the medicine prepared for them is the nemesis of the bloodline. As long as it is used properly, it will definitely have the desired effect.

At the end of the story, a young man said in a dark voice, saying only that Lady Hundred Flowers would accompany them and take action in person to make sure everything was safe.

The Lady Hundred Blossoms agreed, and the hooves sounded.

Waiting for the sound of the horse's hooves to go away, Wu Zhongyuan led the horse around to Shanyang, and saw a horse collapsed not far away, and there was a person lying on the ground. He looked closely, and the person who collapsed was flirting with Lady Hundred Flowers earlier. man.

Seeing the corpses of Ren and Ma, Wu Zhongyuan knew why Lady Baihua was so afraid of them. The two warriors of the bird tribe should have quarreled with her before. After they caught up with Lady Baihua, they killed her concubine first. vent his anger before speaking to her.

The man who died was severely hit on the head, bleeding from seven holes, and his death was ugly, but Wu Zhongyuan did not let him go.

However, this time, nothing of the kind was found. There was only a small porcelain bottle. The cork was removed, and there were some small red pills in it.

I don't know what's the use, so keep it. Search the baggage again. There are several gold bars in the baggage. The so-called gold bars are not gold bars in the real sense, but copper bars to be precise. The gold mentioned in ancient times is actually copper. Relatively scarce, it can also be used as a currency.

After searching, leave quickly, so that no one will see it and mistakenly think that the person was killed by others.

Most people's thinking characteristics are the same, what is lacking is important, those who have milk feel that bread is important, and those who have bread feel that milk is better. In modern times, there are legal constraints, and many things cannot be done. At that time, he even longed to return to the ancient times when there were no legal constraints, so that he could rejoice in favor and hatred. But when I really came back, I found that it was still better to be bound by the law. This is an era when murder is not illegal. Anyone can kill and anyone can be killed. There is no sense of security at all, and the nerves are always tense.

Although it is already spring, the night is still very cold, but Wu Zhongyuan did not make a fire to rest, because lighting a fire will bring light, and if there is light, it will reveal his position. Ordinary beasts are indeed afraid of fire, but there are some who are not afraid of fire. Starting a fire from deep in the mountains is not a wise move, it does more harm than good.

Walking all night, at dawn, I saw a cottage in the distance. The cottage is located on the mountainside of Xishan, and there is a fork in the road leading to the cottage.

After a short stop, Wu Zhongyuan continued on his way, and did not go to the cottage. He had dry food on him, so there was no need to go to the festival.

When the sun came up, he stopped, led the horse to the side of the road, and looked for branches to start a fire.

The dried meat and pancakes are very hard, and they will become softer after being roasted with fire. While the dried meat and pancakes are being roasted, a group of people came from the north.

This group of people should be from the cottage in front. They are all men, dressed in rags, carrying fishing nets and baskets and other items, and they seem to want to go fishing somewhere.

When everyone saw Wu Zhongyuan, they didn't show kindness, but they didn't show strong hostility either. One of them spoke to him loudly, and asked him to put out the fire when he left, so as not to cause a mountain fire to affect them. the village.

Wu Zhongyuan nodded in agreement.

Someone saw something on the horse and asked him what it was. Wu Zhongyuan told the truth.

As soon as they heard it was cloth, everyone was very interested and came over to see it.

These people are ordinary people without spiritual energy, and Wu Zhongyuan is not afraid of them, so he won a horse and displayed it.

The bear clan has the most advanced textile technology at present. The silk and cloth are fine, soft and tough. Everyone likes it very much, so they negotiated an easy exchange with him and asked him what he wanted.

These things are used to exchange food and seeds with the fox clan, and Wu Zhongyuan does not dare to easily exchange them. The main thing is that he does not know what the other party has.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan's hesitation, a leading old man offered to exchange five pairs of yin and yang fish for a piece of cloth.

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know what the other party said about the yin and yang fish, so he could only shake his head and refuse.

Everyone was very sorry, and reluctantly returned the cloth. The yin and yang fish they mentioned seemed to be the best thing they could do. Wu Zhongyuan didn't even want the yin and yang fish, and there was no hope for anything else.

Everyone left, Wu Zhongyuan continued to roast the dry food, and continued to lead the road after eating...
