When he went out, Zhou Shixiang caught a glimpse of his bloodstained rat tail on the ground, so he picked it up and put it in his arms, Song Xianggong didn't care about it.
The hair and skin of the body, the parents who received it, although it was forced to pick out the hair by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, this money rattail braid is really ugly, but after all, it is the hair and skin on the body, just throw it on the ground, Zhou Shixiang always feels that it is inappropriate, and in hindsight, the ancients who are the former owners of the body are thinking about it.
Along the way, a few more men appeared from the forest, and then followed the team silently.
By the time they arrived at Boss Hu's village, the number of people in the team had reached more than a dozen.
Judging from the agile movements of these men and their familiarity with mountain roads, it is obvious that they are used to drilling ravines.
The mountain road went around, and it was pitch black all around, although there were torches illuminating, but Zhou Shixiang still almost fell down a few times, but fortunately, the reaction was fast enough, and the Ge brothers behind rescued them in time, so there was no danger.
After walking in the mountains for more than half an hour, Boss Hu and the others took Zhou Shixiang to a valley, and the village was in this valley.
Zhou Shixiang looked around and found that he couldn't judge the specific location of this place at all.
After entering the stockade, someone came to greet him, and Boss Hu ordered someone to lead the big green horse over, and then asked Zhou Shixiang to rest first, and did not say that he would set up a banquet to entertain, nor did he mention other things.
In this arrangement, Zhou Shixiang is naturally happy, he was awakened in a dream, but right now, he is still very sleepy, if he doesn't rest, I'm afraid his energy will be out of energy tomorrow.
However, Zhao Sihai complained a little about Boss Hu's arrangement, but he didn't dare to say anything to Boss Hu, so he could only pull Zhou Shixiang aside, and whispered apologetically that it was too late today, and he would invite him to drink tomorrow.
Zhou Shixiang hurriedly said a few polite words, and then someone led him to the guest room to rest.
It is said to be a guest room, but it is actually a simple room, which does not even have furniture, only a bed and two stools, and a square table with a corner missing.
It's a little simple, but the hygiene is good, the bed is very clean at a glance, and the house is spotless, obviously this room is often cleaned.
Zhou Shixiang naturally does not care about the cold of this house, compared to the shack built with bamboo, this condition is already very good, at least there is a bed to sleep in, and a cover.
After lying down in the kimono, the eyelids just closed, but someone knocked on the door, Zhou Shixiang was alarmed, turned over and took out the fire fold to light the oil lamp, and took Yunlong's waist knife before stepping forward to open the door.
When I opened the door, I saw a little girl standing outside the door with a basket.
In the basket was a bowl of rice, a plate of stir-fried meat, and a bowl of soup made from an unknown number of years.
The little girl was wearing a paddy field coat often worn by Han women in this era, she was not tall, only as tall as Zhou Shixiang's chest, and her body looked very thin, and her development was obviously much later than that of girls of the same age in later generations.
Because of the dim light at the door, the little girl lowered her head again, so Zhou Shixiang couldn't see her appearance clearly for a while, and could only estimate that the little girl was about thirteen or fourteen years old.
Since the food was delivered, Zhou Shixiang was not polite, turned around and asked the little girl to enter the house to put down the food, and then asked casually when she lifted the basket to leave: "What is this place?"
I didn't want this little girl to squeak, Zhou Shixiang thought she didn't hear clearly, so he asked again, but the little girl still didn't speak. mute Zhou Shixiang was a little stunned, and by the light of the oil lamp in the house, he noticed the little girl's appearance, looking at her face, it was a little cute, very similar to the girl next door in later generations, but unfortunately, there was no red on the face, but it was vegetable yellow, thinking that it was caused by long-term malnutrition.
When the little girl saw Zhou Shixiang staring at herself, she was a little scared, and lowered her head slightly, not daring to meet Zhou Shixiang's gaze.
Seeing this, Zhou Shixiang no longer stared at her, so as not to scare her, he was a human being in two lives, and he had just experienced the tragic death of his parents, wife and children, so naturally he would not have any wrong thoughts about a little girl who had not grown up, let alone any anger towards this little girl.
"Can you speak" Zhou Shixiang didn't dare to ask if the little girl was mute, and tried to keep his voice soft, so as not to provoke her.
The little girl reacted this time, but she didn't look up, just shook her head.
It's dumb Zhou Shixiang was stunned, and when he wanted to speak again, the little girl had already picked up the basket and turned around and walked out.
Alas.
Zhou Shixiang sighed, and after closing the door casually, he felt pity for this little girl, she was a mute at a young age, and she was really a fool.
After regretting it, in the spirit of not wasting it, he swept away the food sent by the little girl, wiped the oil stains on his mouth, and fell asleep again contentedly.
No one bothered me until dawn the next day.
When he sat up from the bed, Zhou Shixiang saw that the dishes on the table were still there, and he didn't clean them up, and said in his heart that since the little girl had sent the food, she would definitely come over to clean it up later.
After doing a few simple movements in the house, Zhou Shixiang pushed open the door and wanted to find Boss Hu and Song Xianggong, first, to thank them for their hospitality, and second, to borrow a loan from them to go to the mountains to join the army in Guangxi.
After coming out of the house, Zhou Shixiang really saw everything in the valley, this village is indeed not large, there are only a dozen rooms, and there are a few shacks similar to Datong sheds.
There was a stream at the foot of the mountain not far away, and I faintly saw people washing clothes there, and from the posture of the washerman, it seemed that they were all women.
The women in the bandits' den are naturally all women from good families who have been taken captive, thinking of the mute little girl last night, Zhou Shixiang shook his head, knowing that this little girl must have also been captive, and couldn't help but worry about their fate.
But after thinking about it, I am not able to protect myself now, so why bother to worry about these women, the sense of justice in the future is not worth a penny at the moment, and now that the soldiers are in a panic, it doesn't seem to be a bad thing for these women to stay in the bandits' den, at least, they can save their lives.
Chastity is nothing compared to life. raised his eyes and searched around, but he didn't find Boss Hu and them, and he didn't even see the other men in the village.
Zhou Shixiang wondered, where did this person go When I was about to look for it, the little girl came with a basket, and when she saw Zhou Shixiang, she didn't stay, she went straight into the house and put away the dishes and chopsticks on the table, and then she still bowed her head and wanted to leave like last night.
"Wait."
Zhou Shixiang grabbed the little girl's hand and asked her, "Do you know where Boss Hu is?"
The little girl's little hand was grabbed by a strange man, and she was suddenly anxious, but she didn't dare to cry, so she had to hurriedly point to a slightly larger room in the distance.
Zhou Shixiang patronized his own business, didn't pay attention to the little girl's shyness, and after getting the guidance, he hurried to the house to find someone, and the little girl didn't look where she went.
When he arrived outside the house, Zhou Shixiang heard someone talking inside, making a commotion, as if they were arguing about something.
Zhou Shixiang didn't know what was going on, and hesitated whether he should go in.

When he was hesitating, Song Xianggong saw him and hurriedly beckoned him to come in, and Zhou Shixiang reluctantly raised his legs and entered the house.
As soon as I entered the room, I saw twenty or thirty men standing inside, Hu Boss and Peng Dazhu were also there, and there was still one person sitting in the room, but it was a young man dressed in the costume of a Ming Dynasty official, and behind him stood four Ming soldiers with swords. oshow7 t1706231537:
