Chapter 73: Westbound

After leaving Guicheng, Qin Xiao went all the way west.
He was wearing a ragged shirt, wrapped in sackcloth, and saw a wooden stick in his hand on the way. At first glance, everyone thought he was just a beggar wandering around.
In the barren land of Xiling, there are not many cultivated fields, but they are all occupied by local families. Although the mines in Xiling are rich, they are also in the hands of the portal. It is impossible for ordinary people to enjoy the slightest benefit.
If the richness of the mine is beneficial to the people, it also provides them with the opportunity to eat.
The mining of the family's gate valve will naturally recruit a lot of labor, although it will provide food and drink, but the wages are very few and barely make ends meet.
And this opportunity is not available to everyone.
But in ordinary times, the situation is worse, and there are not many people who live and beg for a living.
So it is not uncommon to see beggars wandering aimlessly around the earth in Xiling, but it is commonplace.
The beggars dressed like Qin Xiao, most people would not take a glance at it, even if they saw it, they would avoid it.
After walking for two days to the west, it was quite smooth along the way.
When leaving from Guicheng, Hongye specially prepared a package for Qin Xiao. In addition to dry food, there was a porcelain bottle of blood pills. Qianfan gave Qin Xiao's blood pills almost no movement. Two bottles of blood pills were in hand. There were no problems in the last six months.
In addition to blood pills and dry food, flints were also prepared, obviously considering that Qin Xiao might sleep in the wilderness, so he made preparations.
In addition, there is a bottle of gold sore medicine, it seems that Qin Xiao can't understand it. Hongye specifically wrote the word "golden sore medicine" on the bottle. Qin Xiao naturally also knows that gold sore medicine is a medicine used to stop bleeding and treat skin wounds, but This kind of medicine is also very expensive, unlike ordinary wound medicine. Qin Xiao remembers that there are gold sore medicines sold in Chinese medicine shops in the city.
However, the medicine taken out by Hongye is of course not comparable to the drugstore. It must be pure.
After the death of the old man Zhong Zhong who raised him that year, he walked out of the village on the way to Guicheng. It was also a bitter meal, a bitter taste, and even a plague. So it was not for him to wander away from the city this time. What a big deal.
What made him a little uncomfortable was that the wine gourd was gone, and the beggar hung too much for the wine gourd, so the red leaves were not prepared for him.
In his early years, Qin Xiao was drunk and cold-resistant, and he has accumulated many months. Although he can't talk about alcoholism, but if he doesn't drink two sips a day, he always feels lacking and feels uncomfortable.
But now I can only bear it.
After leaving Guicheng, Qin Xiao could not walk on the official road with dignity. Although he is hard to recognize that he is the same person as the wanted small jailer in this dress, but everything is cautious, so he First, it folds to the north and reaches the foot of the Changling Mountains, and then it goes westward along the foot of the mountain.
The geography of Xiling belongs to a narrow corridor, with the towering Qilian Mountains to the south and the endless Changling Mountains to the north.
The Changling Mountain Range starts from the territory of Zhen County in the east and extends to Fan County in the west. The mountains are undulating and towering.
People in Xiling have always been in awe of the Changling Mountain Range. For people here, Changling is actually a natural barrier that crosses over Changling, but the Bailidi is the Moxi Grassland and is also the home of the Tusun people.
Everyone knows that the Tusun people are plundered, but they are fierce and murderous. If Changling is not used as a barrier, even if the Xiling did not fall into the hands of the Tusun people, it would definitely be disturbing.
It was already March and the grass long warbler was flying.
After months of cold winter, the Changling Mountains have begun to recover the lush greenery, walking past the foot of the mountain, the sound of songbirds coming from the mountain is endless, full of vitality.
Qin Xiao knew that it was better to leave Zhen Jun as soon as possible. Being in this situation was not too safe after all.
Xiling said it was not too big, but it was not too small. There are more than 30 counties in the three counties. It is not too difficult to find a hiding place.
He has silver on his body, so naturally there is no need to worry about silver. Although he is lonely, he has been too lonely in these years. Now he is alone and drifting out, and he does not feel uncomfortable.
After thinking out of Zhen Jun, when it was time to find a job wherever he could, and stay there for half a year, when this matter faded, I would find another opportunity to go back to Guicheng to see what happened.
When I think of Guicheng, I think of Mencius.
That night Mencius Mo was besieged, but some people came down from the sky. He rescued Mencius Moment in a critical moment. Qin Xiao had been wondering who was going to rescue him. These two days, he wanted to understand that only those who could help Mencius Moment at that time. In Weifu, the people who rescued Mencius were all in Duweifu.
Qin Xiao's first doubt was of course Han Yunong.
Being able to come forward and rescue Mencius, Du Wei's House is probably the only one with Han Yunong's courage.
But that person could bring Mencius ink to the wall with a rope. That ability is not something ordinary people can do. Even if they break into the second grade, it is impossible to do it. That is to say, the one who saved Mencius ink People at least second grade or even Zhongtian Realm.
But he never saw that Han Yunong had that skill.
Did Lord Duwei always hide?
If it was indeed Han Yunong who rescued Mencius, Qin Xiao was quite at ease, at least with Han Yunong’s protection, Mencius should be safe.
Along the way, Qin Xiao thought the most, but the Zhimingyuan.
Hongye inexplicably said that sentence, so that when he had nowhere to go, he went to Kyoto to find the Jimeiyuan, but what is that Jimeiyuan?
What is the relationship between Hongye and Zhimingyuan?
I have lived with the old man Zhong in the remote village of Xiling since I made a note. Although old man Zhong taught him a lot, he hasn't really left that village for more than ten years. How can he be related to distant Kyoto?
Qin Xiao was puzzled.
After dark, Qin Xiao found a suitable place at the foot of the mountain, sleeping at the foot of the mountain.
The dried food prepared by Hongye can persist for four or five days, but it is not a problem to live alone in the wild. In the night, it is really scared. Fortunately, Qin Xiao once had such an experience and was not afraid.
I used dry food, sat cross-legged, and practiced for an hour [Ancient Idea], then I wrapped the pillow.
Looking at the night sky, the stars are a little bit, but there is a burst of light all over.
In the past three years, he had the errand of the Jiazi prison. He left early in the morning and returned late. His life was very regular, and his life was very fulfilling. Now he suddenly escapes, but he is quite uncomfortable.
Looking at the sky and stars, the image of the younger sister appeared in my mind. These days, she is beside me. Although sometimes it makes people angry, but there is no sense of loneliness. I think she is willing to be a bait. I distracted myself and went all the way east, but now I don't know what the situation is.
However, with the skill and wisdom of the young master, the group of wolf riders really wanted to catch the young master.
Between half asleep and half awake, there was a strong cry, Qin Xiao was startled, thinking that in the wilderness of the wilderness, is there a lone soul ghost? Sitting up, I heard the cry came from the other side of the mountain, immediately grabbed the parcel, took the wooden stick in my hand, hid behind the bush of thorns next to me, and followed the cry and looked over, only to see a group of figures Get down from the mountain.
Seeing that there was a group of people, Qin Xiao was slightly relieved.
"Quick, quick!" someone shouted, "find a place and quickly look at the injury."
Qin Xiao saw that there were about seven or eight people in this group. Some people were carrying bows and arrows, and some were holding iron forks. One of them was still carrying one person on the back.
Qin Xiao looked like these people in costumes, but seemed like a group of hunters.
The so-called rely on mountains to eat mountains, rely on water to eat water.
There are Changling Mountains in Xiling. People in the vicinity naturally depend on the mountains to eat the mountains. Many people go up the mountain to hunt for their livelihood, in order to support their families.
Although the Xiling Gate Valve controlled most of the mineral resources in Xiling, it was not easy to turn the Changling Mountains into their own, but it also allowed people to go hunting on the mountain. However, before hunting, they had to register like a local government, and only the government granted the hunter To be qualified for hunting in the mountains, otherwise it is poaching. Once caught, it is necessary to detain and go to prison.
Although the Orion can hunt in the Changling Mountains, the tax burden is also extremely heavy.
"Let's put it down first." An hunter with a more vocal voice said in a deep voice: "Can't go anymore, move like this, the blood flow is faster, Yang baby, put your father down first, let me see the wound."
With the help of others, Yangwa carefully laid her father on the ground and cried, "Han Bo, please help and see, there is a lot of blood, my father shed a lot of blood, you help me."
Qin Xiao was not far away. He really heard it. He thought that it was Yangwa who was crying, and he almost mistakenly thought that he was an undead ghost wandering in the wilderness.
Nahan Bo looked at the wound through the moonlight and said, "The wound is too deep. This kind of dressing can't stop the blood before I put on some of the wound medicine we brought. It has no effect at all." I looked at the others and said : "Unless you can find the doctor now and stop bleeding quickly, otherwise..."! The following words are not said, but everyone knows the meaning, blood flow is not stopped, hemostasis cannot be stopped, and life is at stake.
"That animal is really fierce." One person had a lingering fear: "The hero is the one who lied to us. When he saw the animal, the first one with the surname Luo wanted to run. It's not a matter of words, it's good now, the wind flashed his tongue and put his life here."
"He is deserved to die, even the six sons were killed by the beast." Another person hated: "The body of the six sons is still there, how do we go back to his old lady?"
Han Bo said with a deep voice: "Now is not the time to say this. You are all looking around to see if you can find Burnet, Agrimony, or Ramie Root. Yang Wa's father's wound is too big and too deep to move anymore. , If you want to survive, you must stop the blood. Yang baby, you can hold your father’s wound first, so that the blood flow can slow down... Yes, iron donkey, your legs and feet are fast, run Go to the town and see if you can ask the doctor to come over!"
"At this hour, it was already midnight, and the doctor couldn't come with him, at most give some medicine." A young hunter said: "When I come back, it's almost dawn, and Yangwa and his father can hold it. ?"
"It's better than sitting here without moving." Han Bo annoyed: "Let you go, don't talk so much nonsense."
The man couldn't help, carrying an iron fork, and ran south.
Several other people were going to scatter to find herbal medicine, and suddenly heard a voice saying: "I have hemostatic medicine here, you can try to stop bleeding."
