Rule the Roost in the Tang Dynasty: Six hundred and nineteen small mountain villages


Bai Chun huffed and gasped. I don’t know when he has quietly approached the place where Li Hong was fighting. One of the two men in black who was left was taken aback when he saw Bai Chun’s figure. He reminded the companion next to him, Bai Chun raised the swallow-winged crossbow in his hand and swished.

The anxious and fast arrow, like a meteor rushing to the moon, instantly settled on the forehead of the man in black, so that he didn't even have time to dodge, so he fell straight down.

The remaining black-clothed people heard the cracking sound behind their heads, and just turned their heads, they felt a coolness in their necks, and when they saw Bai Chun, they fell straight on their necks.

Li Hongchong, with a pale face, gave Bai Chun a thumbs up, then stepped forward and took Bai Chun's hand, panting for a while and said: "We can't go back the same way, we must keep going."

There was not much moonlight in the forest, but it did not affect the eyes of the two of them looking at each other. Bai Chun tremblingly held Li Hong’s hand tightly. This was her first real murder. I can hear my heart beating violently.

Smelling the **** smell that began to emanate from the forest, Bai Chun didn't even have time to rest, so he was dragged by Li Hong to continue walking forward.

"There is no way to rest here. The **** smell may attract beasts, and then we will be in big trouble." Li Hong glanced at Bai Chun who was tired and wanted to collapse to the ground the next moment. .

I don’t know if it is true or not, Bai Chun, after hearing this, she can only grit her teeth and be led by Li Hong. She still knows the concealment of wild beasts in the dense forest. If she wants to attack them, I'm afraid it's an easy task.

The two were shuttled between the dense forests that seemed to reach the end, and there were too many towering trees, their sight was blocked, and they couldn't tell the direction for a while, they could only look for one direction and move forward firmly. go.

A night of exhaustion and helplessness, especially when I hug, carry, and lead Bai Chun from time to time. When the two of them walked out of the dense forest, they realized that the sky was already bright, and the dense forest behind was still It was still a dim night.

"Where is this?" Bai Chun's helmet has been held in his hand, with a red hairband on his forehead, and the beautiful and exquisite cheeks are full of exhaustion, and he is tired and hangs himself on Li Hong asked weakly.

"I don't know, but it is true that we are facing the East." Li Hong looked at the rising sun and said lightly.

"What do we do then? Where are we going now? Lawless, have they escaped now?" Bai Chun began to remember the lawlessness, as long as they find reinforcements, they and His Royal Highness can be saved.

"You don't have to think about them now, let's think about what we should do." Li Hong continued along a narrow path that looked like a road but not like a road.

When they were three poles in the sun, they climbed over a mountain that didn't seem to be very high or very far away. Standing on the mountainside and looking into the distance, they found that there were mountains besides the mountains.

The flat land farther away and the smoke rising from the foot of the mountain still made them feel a little bit of joy and stability.

Three days later, in the innermost part of the small mountain village at the foot of the mountain, a wooden house that had been uninhabited for a long time and was abandoned for a long time, leaking wind and rain, has now become completely new.

The linen paper on the window has also been replaced with a new one. A newly made door is being opened by Bai Chun at this moment, listening to whether there is any abnormal noise.

In this one house alone, there is a simple bed placed on the innermost side. In addition to the dry grass, it is covered with several layers of thick cotton cloth that has long lost its original color. Used as a bed sheet by her.

A quilt is the biggest surprise for Li Hong and Bai Chun in three days. After Bai Chun has washed it several times in the past few days, at least it looks like "new" in her eyes.

What made them unexpected is that this quilt turned out to be a thick, soft cotton-filled quilt.

This was made by a family in the mountain village who bought cotton after saving for many years. They have been reluctant to use it. They are ready to wait for the first snow before taking it out for heating.

I didn't want to be taken away by a pair of young men and women who came unexpectedly three days ago in exchange for an exquisite earring.

But even so, the villagers are still very happy, please look at the only literate man thirty miles away who has seen Da Shimian.

Mr. said: Don’t say it’s a pair, just this earring is enough to buy all the people in his family. They only need you to have a quilt and cotton mattress, you are making a lot of money!

So the villagers happily took the earring into their arms like their own lives. Under the leadership of the husband, they entered the city contentedly, planning to sell the earrings, and then buy some winter accessories for the family. Must have.

But in Bai Chun's eyes, no matter how good the earrings were, they couldn't match this warm quilt, not to mention there was only one left.

The other one, I was afraid that it was lost when it was traveling through the mountains and forests. Therefore, the only earring left seemed even more indifferent to her.

Since His Royal Highness said to exchange for some useful life items, it was naturally a better thing for her.

The rammed loess ground under her feet was also tirelessly swept by Bai Chun. I didn’t know how many times she sprinkled it until the rammed loess was about to shine. Then he satisfactorily ended.

At this time, looking at the room that was picked up by him, with a little homelike appearance, Bai Chun's heart was filled with a sense of accomplishment, and he walked back and forth to look at his achievements, expressing pride. From time to time, I feel here and there, I am afraid that there will be any unclean blind spots.

Except for a bed, the whole room can barely put down a table made of tree roots and two simple small benches.

And all this, including the bed, was made by Li Hong with the help of a few villagers in the past two days, going up the mountain and cutting wood.

I looked at the house I personally cleaned up with great satisfaction, then walked to the door again, stepped on the threshold that didn't seem to be too strong, and saw that under my own gravity, there was no wavering, suddenly Shaking his head happily, extremely excited.

In the distance, Li Hong said goodbye to several villagers, and then he carried two hares in his hands, carrying a crossbow and a bundle of firewood, and looked at Bai Chun who looked at him at the door, showing a faint smile.

A trickle flowed down from the mountain and passed straight past the door of Li Hong and Bai Chun’s "home". The sky was blue, white clouds floating quietly like cotton, dotted with the sky, not completely frozen. The stream continued to flow down with a brisk sound.

A gray and white hare skin was completely peeled off by Li Hong, and then hung on a tree branch and dried in the sun.

Looking at Li Hong’s figure from inside the house and walking to the south wall, after hanging up the hare skins, Bai Chun hopped out of the house and followed Li Hong to the stream, watching Li Hiroshi cleans those rabbit meat.

I saw these dead rabbits, but I didn’t dare to look at the lively rabbits. The sad eyes before death struggling with the weak and dying, so when Li Hong slaughtered the hare just now, Bai Chun hurried in. Inside the room.

While watching Li Hong skillfully dismember the hare, he looked at the clear stream and asked: "You said that earring... would they really sell it in the city?"

"It should be." Li Hong stopped his movements and asked Bai Chun to wipe off the faint blood stains on his nose, and continued to speak: "This small mountain village has less than 20 or less than 30 households. In the past few days, I’ve been going around. The wealthy family is the one that changed the quilt. Although the people in the village are illiterate, the male owner of that family is the only one who has followed people from other villages. People in the city, seeing that freezing is about to arrive, I exchanged this quilt, and they will naturally find a way to sell the earring."

Bai Chun nodded silently, suddenly looked at the clear stream, free fishes drifting over, and immediately said excitedly: "Look, there are several small fishes."

Li Hong looked at Bai Chun who was as excited as a child, and smiled knowingly. While busy with the hare in his hand, he said, "I will see if I can use the fat of these hares~IndoMTL.com~ Come up a few tails."

"Why don't you just go down and catch them? Seeing that they seem to be frozen in the water and their actions are slow." Bai Chun asked Li Hong back.

Li Hong's face sank, he rinsed his red hands in the stream, and then touched the white cheeks with water droplets, and said angrily: "Go down and show me ."

"Ah...cold." Bai Chun's beautiful cheeks felt the coldness in Li Hong's hands, and immediately stroked his cheeks and jumped away, looking at Li Hong angrily.

Li Hong looked at Bai Chun who was scornful, hehe said: "You all know the coolness, and let me go down the river to catch fish? What is it?"

"Oh, the servant girl is just talking about it. Didn't you forget that the stream is cold?" Bai Chun raised his beautiful chin high, and then squatted beside Li Hong again, tentatively reaching into the flowing water In the stream, he quickly retracted like an electric shock, and said in surprise: "It's so cold? It's just biting."

"This is a mountain spring, which flows down from the mountain. How can it be warm? You thought it was when you were in the palace." Li Hong said irritably, and handed the cleaned rabbit meat to Bai Chun. After receiving the rabbit meat with both hands, Chun randomly wiped his hands on Bai Chun.

This action immediately provokes Bai Chun, who was occupied with both hands, for a while, stomping to protest Li Hong's hand rubbing her clothes.

Looking at Bai Chun angrily putting the fish in place, Li Hong, who was basking in the mild sun, suddenly asked: "Xingyang, Dengfeng, including Zhengzhou, do you have a semicolon for the Royal Bank? Or is it a pawnshop?"

"Yes, but not many. After Lin Shiling went to Tubo, all the expanding pawnshops and the like have been standardized, but it is not clear whether there is our pawnshop here." Bai Chun walked out of the house. , Holding another small bench in his hand, sitting beside Li Hong, said lightly.
