Chapter 43

Xie Xuan drank two glasses with the old Taoist priest. Before he could finish a glass of wine, the old Taoist priest had already drunk a jar. When he got the second glass, the old Taoist had already been lying on the table and couldn't stop humming.

Xie Xuan went to listen and heard what he said: "What a piece of pork head meat."

Xie Xuan helped the man to the bed, covered the old Taoist with a quilt, blew the light again, and closed the door.

The banquet held by Zheng Kaishan had just begun. Xie Xuan also went to have two glasses of wine and became familiar with the people at the table. Everyone said something to work together to protect the darts, and then it ended.

In addition to Xiaoxiao and Xie Xuan, there are seven people in the Xuanmen who protect the dart this time. In addition to the old Taoist, there are two brothers, one tall and one short, and a thin middle-aged man.

Among them, the brothers, one tall and one short, were very polite to others. They even had a few cups with Xie Xuan, but when they got to the corner, Xie Xuan heard the short man say to the tall man: "At that time, you will only care about our car, and you don't need to worry about the life or death of others."

Xie Xuan was very clear-headed and heard it when he walked in front of him, but he didn't turn around and look back. This person was like this, and the rest must have thought so too. At that time, I'm afraid everyone will clean up the snow in front of the door.

No one knows what will happen to Shangzhou’s main road.

No one came back after three escorts. The people from the Shangzhou Branch of the Longwei Escort Agency took advantage of the dawn to drag the horses and took out a man from under the dead horse.

The man was still breathing a sigh of relief, and he was already crazy when he rescued him. His tongue was broken in his mouth. The doctor looked at the teeth marks and he actually bit it off himself.

It was the most promising young escort in the Longwei Escort Agency. After returning, he was crazy and furious. He would never dare to walk to the shade of the trees. When he heard the night wind blowing the treetops, he was so scared that he hugged his head and howled.

Zheng Kaishan was very brotherly and kept him in the escort agency, hired a famous doctor for him, and invited Song Zhiguan from Sanqingguan to call him for his soul, all of which were useless.

This man was sick. Whenever he saw an escort flag in the escort cart, he rolled on the ground, wailing hoarsely, and was not allowed to take a horse to escort.

From his mouth, he naturally couldn't ask anything.

The brothers, one tall and one short, had an idea for Zheng Kaishan.

The dwarf said: "There is a little spiritual connection in a human being. He is ignorant and cannot say it, but if he survives, he will have a way to save his life. It is better to take him there."

Although he couldn't speak, he could still walk. This time he took the escort and got him drunk and carried him to the escort car. After he walked that journey, he would naturally find the original road.

Zheng Kaishan hesitated for a long time and agreed. He gave the man's parents, wife and children 200 taels of silver in one breath. Even if he bought out his life, he would bring the man back after he went out this time, and his death would be aborted.

Xiaoxiao packed up her things, and she picked up a dirty dress from Sister Hong and took it away. She kept the shoes given by Qingmei at the Zheng family. Their silver was searched by Sanqingguan, only a few taels of silver were left in her body, and half of them were supplied to Sister Hong.

Another bag of bread, two packs of sauce, two roast chicken, and other common wound medicines were prepared.

The most important thing is the talisman. The bamboo basket was searched by the people from the Sanqing Temple. Xie Xuan carried the peach wood sword with him, but the cinnabar and yellow talismans were all in the basket, and they had no inventory on their hands.

Fortunately, Master Zheng had already ordered people to prepare these things.

Ordinary short rafts are just bringing enough food and water. This time, I prepared a box of yellow talismans and cinnabar incense, and even a few bags of black dog blood to take as they can.

Xie Xuan didn't know the details of these people, and he could tell whether these people were good or bad at a glance. Her foggy eyes swept the people around, her pupils slightly opened, and she pinched Xie Xuan's hand.

Among these people, except for the old Taoist priest's five aggregates, which are gray and do not distinguish between good and evil, the rest are black, and none of them are good people.

Xie Xuan patted her hand: "We are just on the same road, and we will separate when we arrive in Shangzhou. We will take the last escort car."

There were five cars in total, Zheng Kaishan rode his horse in front, and there were a lot of escorts left. Xie Xuan and Xiaoxiao pressed their hats on their heads, changed into the clothes of the Longwei Escort Agency, with the word "wild" on their chests, mixed in the crowd.

The horse team walked to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city were all familiar with each other. They opened the door and let it go. They also said auspicious words, "I wish Mr. Zheng a success."

Xie Xuan lowered the brim of the hat, Wu Jingwu walked out of the city gate, felt a little relieved, held Xiaoxiao and put the escort car in his arms, and jumped up with himself, and finally got cheerful: "When we arrived in Shangzhou, we will take a boat to the capital."

He inquired that Zheng Ye’s goods were sent to the Shangzhou fleet. They didn’t want gold and silver. They just took a merchant ship to the capital and took them all the way to the capital.

Xiaoxiao nodded, Doudou came out of her arms. It had been "vegetarian" for two consecutive days and became a bean that could not be full again. It pressed Xie Xuan's back with its head and rubbed him like a spoiled person.

Xie Xuan patted its head, took out a piece of cake from the cloth bag, broke a piece for Doudou, and Doudou ate it from Xie Xuan's hand gently, for fear of biting his fingers, so his head tilted for a long time before biting it, and swallowed it into his stomach with the cake in his mouth.

Xie Xuan said to it: "Save some stomach, you have something to eat tonight."

The journey of Shangzhou is not far, but I just can't walk fast with an escort car. I had to sleep in the mountains for one night. The first three carriages and horses happened in the mountains.

During the day, the escort was shouting the Longwei Escort Agency's call on both sides of the escort car, and the sounds were heard throughout the mountains and fields.

"The dragon's thunder and tigers, please borrow from friends in the world."

In this area, no Longwei Escort Agency, which doesn’t know Zheng Kaishan, does not need to shout like this when you go out for escorts. As soon as the escort flag is lit, friends from all over the world will naturally have to show their face when they see the sign on the flag.

But since Zheng Kaishan personally led the team, he used all his strength to show Zheng Zheng.

Xie Xuan and Xiaoxiao sat in the last escort car. The old Taoist priest was in front of them. He was drunk again less than halfway. He lay on the box of the escort car, turned over, and almost rolled down the car.

Xie Xuan jumped over and lifted him up. The old Taoist priest was still confused. He unscrewed the gourd and poured wine into his throat. The wine poured into his throat like a line, and drank it for a while.

Xie Xuan supported him with a good temper. One reason was that he was old, and the other was that he looked a bit like a master, so he couldn't ignore it when he saw it.

After holding on for a while, Xie Xuan's face changed slightly. The wine gourd was just an ordinary size, and it seemed like this method of pouring it out, so it should not be left.

But the old Taoist priest's wine gourd was poured out for half a day, and it seemed that there was no end. The more you smelled it, the more fragrant the wine became.

The old Taoist priest finally drank enough and made a long burp. His red nose moved and he smacked his lips and said, "What a fat pig's ear."

Seeing that he showed his hand again, Xie Xuan respected the senior a little, so he jumped back to the car, took out a pack of green sauce meat from the bamboo basket, opened the oil paper bag, and put it on the old Taoist priest's hand: "Old senior, there are no pig ears, there is only green sauce meat, give this to you."

The old Taoist priest looked at him, and without hesitation, he pinched a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. After a while, he ate all the pack of meat. He sucked his fingers and held the wine gourd in his arms, and fell asleep in the escort car again.

Xie Xuan was not bothered. He admired the capable person in his heart, and then jumped back gently and turned around to sit next to Xiaoxiao.

As soon as he fell, he was also seen by the two short and long brothers, and looked at him sideways. Although he didn't know what Xie Xuan's methods were, he was a rare skill in his light body.

Until dusk, when the escort car arrived in front of the hill, the team stopped again and said, "All heroes can go forward, and it is extremely difficult to walk on the road. Let's stop and have meals first."

The mates rested on fire and had a picnic, and they also brought sauce, meat and noodles, and cooked a pot of wild vegetable soup.

Xiaoxiao set up the pan himself, skewers and grilled the chicken, making the chicken skin crispy, the grease dripped on the firewood, and then picked the wild mushrooms and roasted them under the chicken oil.

That team of escorts were all rough men, so there was no small cooking delicious. The old Taoist priest came when he smelled it.

Xiaoxiao tore half of the chicken for him, looked up at the old man and said, "You can eat it."

The old Taoist priest did not need to hold it with his hands, and put his nose forward and smelled the butt from the chicken's head: "It smells so good." Just as he was about to hold it in his hand, he looked up and glanced at it, and suddenly raised his eyebrows and eyes that had been drooping and then drooped back.

I took the roast chicken from Xiaoxiao's hand, tore two pieces of chicken, rolled them in a soft cake and ate them.

Xie Xuan went to the car in front to get water. The short man smiled and held a handful of fresh fruit in his hand, and handed it to Xie Xuan: "Little brother, this fruit has just been picked, I will share some of it."

Seeing that Xie Xuan was very good at kung fu, he wanted to make friends with him, and he would take care of him when he entered the Dead Host.

Xie Xuan took the fresh fruit and nodded to him: "Thank you."

The dwarf said to himself: "My name is Qiying, my brother is Qiyuan. I think my little brother is very good at kung fu. We will take care of each other after entering the mountain."

Xie Xuangong bowed: "My surname is Wan, my name is Wanjin, and my junior sister is Wanyin." He casually whispered and regarded the amount that his master wanted by the Taoist sect as his surname.

The short guy doesn't care whether this is the real name of the senior brother and sister. We just make a fortune together.

He smiled and said, "Do you know why the front call the Dead Man's Post?"

Xie Xuan really didn't know, and the short man said, "It's not like dying if you pass by. It was decades ago, a small town in the mountains became an empty city overnight. No one was seen in life or corpses were seen. The more he spread, the more fierce he became, this was called the Dead Man's Post."

Xie Xuan saw his eyes flashing, knowing that he had concealed something, so he smiled with Guozi: "Thank you, Brother Qi, for telling me that my junior sister and I don't know anything about these things."

The short man waved his hands repeatedly: "Where are, but we all walk the same way, so we still have to tell Brother Wan these things."

Although he said that, he did not see him telling the thin middle-aged man and the old Taoist priest. It was obvious that they were one of them, one of them was weak and the other was old, so he came to win over the brother and sister of Xie Xuan.

After saying that, he asked again: "Brother Wan is close to that old Taoist, what is the difference between him?"

Fist is afraid of being young, but Taoism is different. He is afraid that the old Taoist really has some hidden abilities.

Xie Xuan shook his head: "I don't know either, but I just couldn't bear it when I saw that he was still escorting someone for escorts at his age."

The dwarf also knew that Xie Xuan didn't tell the truth, so he had said hello to each other.

As soon as Xie Xuan returned to Xiaoxiao, he saw the old Taoist ate a whole chicken and finished half a bag of cakes. His expression was subtle, and his stomach was exactly the same as Doudou.

Xiaoxiao hid half of the chicken leg and gave it to Xie Xuan: "Senior Brother, eat it quickly." If you don't eat it, you won't even have this one.

Xie Xuan smiled and left the chicken legs to Xiaoxiao. He only ate dry food to fill his stomach. He rushed to urge him: "If you enter the mountain later, you will not be able to find a place to stay."

Xie Xuan packed up his things and carried them on his back. The corps mate was carrying the goods on his back. Zheng Kaishan was still walking in front. Before dark, he found an open space to camp.

The madman woke up until this time. His eyes opened and he knew that he was in the woods, as if he had returned to a nightmare, his mouth slightly opened, and he wanted to shout but couldn't make a sound.

It seemed as if he was nailed to the spot, and he didn't dare to move. He only held his body with both hands, his eyes were extremely frightened. He pressed his head down and stared at his toes, his lips opened and closed.

No one knew what he was talking about after losing his tongue. The people in the seat were all storms and waves. Seeing that he was acting strangely, they just thought he was already scared and ignored him.

Before the escort, his old friends also left him food. He was obviously whispering in his stomach, but he didn't look at the meaty noodle cake and refused to eat anything.

Xie Xuan kept paying attention to the behavior of this madman. Just as the dwarf said, if this person survives, he must know something. He just depends on his behavior and cannot speculate on anything at the moment.

Xie Xuan was looking at the madman, and Xiaoxiao was also watching. She was always extremely comfortable when she entered the mountains and forests, but this time, she felt breathless as soon as she stepped in.

The whole dense forest seems to be densely packed with branches and leaves, and is full of vitality, but to Xiaoxiao, it is lifeless. She cannot feel the joy of the woods in the forest, only a faint sense of death surrounds the forest.
