After the Kawadenso incident, Shuanghe and Keijiro traveled northeast for a few more days, and then left the Shimonoseki realm and approached the Miyu area.Some people may say, just a little bit of the road, as for a few days?
According to the speed at which they moved in the territory of Dashu before, it is estimated that it will only take more than half a month to walk all the way from Nagasaki to Aomori, right?
Then you can take it for granted.This universe is a dynasty that has lasted for more than 300 years and has been very stable for most of the time, and Japan is still in the long "Warring States Period" in the second year of Yuanhe, can it be the same?
In Dashu, basically all the state capitals located in the plains are connected by official roads, and there are star posts on the way, plus abundant horse resources, and the existence of the "high-speed rail gang......
Theoretically, the speed of travel can be very fast.It's just that there were many accidents in those years, and the weather and security had a great impact on the itinerary, so the lower limit of this "travel speed" was as exaggerated as the upper limit.But on the Japanese side, the ceiling is just like that.Nearly seventy percent of the country is mountainous, and the problem of public security is even more ......
It's not normal to go fast.What's more, don't forget, when Sun Yihuan left Sichuan Pengzhuang, he was still suffering from the wind......
To say that Keijiro's buddies are also really righteous, the first day after leaving the village, because Huang Donglai is still in the recovery period of diarrhea, and his walking steps are floating, so this day is basically Keijiro carrying Sun Yiharmonic on his back, and the next day Brother Sun himself was a little embarrassed, so he went to get a piece of wood overnight and cut it into a simple crutch, and walked on crutches for another day.On the third day, Sun Yihuan's gout strength had almost passed, and only then did he return to his normal speed of action.After that, the three of them were hungry and thirsty, and they stayed overnight, and on the fifth day of their journey, they finally saw a village in the mountains south of Meiyou.This village is not big, but there are dozens of families, there are no hotels in the village, let alone shops or anything, all of them are houses; Most of the villagers are elderly and children, most of whom are in tattered clothes, have vegetables, and the eyes of both adults and children reveal a kind of "turbidity".There are two parts greed, three parts fear, and five parts hostility in their eyes, as if you only need to show any flaws that make people feel that they can take advantage of them, and they may wipe their necks at any time in the night.Of course, this is also very normal - the people who have experienced years of war, especially those living in villages everywhere, are generally in this state.If they live in the castle town where the daimyo lived, or in a more prosperous town or port, it would be better because the area was relatively safe and the economy was more prosperous......
But the people living in such remote villages, having been plundered so many times by the bandits and ruffians who passed by, have long since ceased to believe in anyone and in the "goodness" of human nature.Ordinary travelers passing through here have to face an adventure and a game.If you look vicious, strong, and strong......
Most of the villagers don't dare to mess with you, and you can even leave without leaving a single person or thanking you after a night's stay.But if you behave kind and weak, you may become a new missing person in this cannibalistic world.Fortunately, Shuang Harmonic and Keijiro's appearance was not easy to mess with, so when they came to this village, no one thought about them, and soon they found a family, negotiated a price with the owner, and moved in.In the evening of the same day, they ate some coarse tea and rice, and then rested in the house.Incidentally, on the Japanese side, most of the time, there is no need to guard against situations such as "being poisoned" or "Zhongmeng sweat medicine".Even if there is no poison expert Huang Donglai today, they don't have to pay too much attention to this matter, because the Japanese civilians in this era have no way to get decent poisons and drugs.They did have things that could eat dead people, but they were afraid that dogs wouldn't eat them when they mixed it with food, and "poison or poison that could go down into food without being immediately detected by ordinary people" was a rarity that could only be obtained by the daimyo at the time......
If these villagers have this kind of thing in hand, instead of using it to kill people for money, they can directly exchange it for money and food, and they may make more profits.Straight to the point......
That night, Keijiro snored very early, and Sun Yihui also slept seven or eight minutes well, only Huang Donglai, half leaning against the wall, meditating and pranayama while on guard.Obviously, Sun Yixiang and Huang Donglai discussed that they would take turns to keep vigil; With the personalities of these two "old rivers and lakes in the Central Plains", it is not surprising that they will do this at night when they see the state of those villagers during the day.In this way, before I knew it, it was time to be a child.Just when Huang Donglai was thinking about how to call Sun Yi to "change shifts", suddenly, in the silence of the night, there were a few bird calls......
Or rather, a few clumsy imitations of a bird's call made by a man.Huang Donglai understood what this meant, so he immediately opened his eyes, came to the wall in the dark, and looked out of the house along the gap in the wooden plank.After a while, he saw by the moonlight that there were six or seven figures gathered outside.The men converged in the darkness of the night to the sound of birds, and then sneakily walked towards the house next door.Huang Donglai's eyesight skills are not bad, he can see only by the outline of the shadow that each of these people is holding a firewood knife and a short stick in his hand, and he said in his heart: If this wave is not killing pigs in the middle of the night, it is going to be a black hand against someone.But what is the situation of the family next door, he doesn't know, whether he should take care of this idle matter, or whether there is idle matter here, whether it is idle or not......
It's hard to say.Huang Donglai thought about it for a while, but decided to go to explore the truth and then make a plan.So, he immediately turned around, used a burst of feminine palm power, and woke up Sun Yihuan with a few silent slaps.As for Brother Sun, because he was "well-trained", he returned another set of grappling skills along Brother Huang's arm between half dreaming and waking up.The two fought a few tricks, and after Sun Yihui was completely sober, they separated tacitly, and hit each other with a few ...... that only they could understand Gestures consisting of the middle finger, eyebrows squeezing, blind chicken gestures, etc.After gesticulating, Huang Donglai went out of the house, while Sun Yihui stayed in the house and was responsible for continuing to guard.Everyone knows Brother Huang's light skills, if he has the intention to sneak, the ordinary characters on the rivers and lakes will not be able to find him, let alone civilians who don't know martial arts, so it only took him less than a minute to quietly touch the backs of the six or seven villagers.As for those villagers, for fear of being discovered, they didn't light candles and torches at all, and they touched the door of the house next door by moonlight.It is implied in the book here that the family next door also has travelers staying in the house, and the owner of the house is among the six or seven people at the moment.However, the two guests next door came earlier than Shuang Harmonic and Keijiro, and they didn't come out and walk around during the day, so Huang Donglai didn't know.Right now, this group of villagers is planning to take advantage of the night to slaughter the two travelers who were staying in the house next door, and kill them for money.But what they didn't expect was that Huang Donglai, who was secretly following them here, hadn't figured out the situation yet, and they hadn't figured out whether to make a move, so their plan encountered a bigger accident......
Purr - poof!
Just as the villager standing at the front gently opened the sliding door, a muffled sound sounded in the darkness.If you want to describe it, it's like someone knocking a hole in a watermelon with a hammer.Two seconds later, before the villagers behind could understand what was happening, the man who opened the door fell straight back.When he fell to the ground on his back, everyone looked down again, and they found that the forehead of the fallen person had a fist-sized blood hole deep into the brain.This kind of injury......
The villagers had never seen it, but Huang Donglai had an impression.Previously, the back of Takeda Kuranosuke's head was shattered by a very similar impact.Huang Donglai was not sleepy now, he immediately cheered up, his eyes and ears were open, and he paid close attention to the movements in the house.Smack-poof!
Sure enough, two seconds later, before the villagers outside the house could recover from the shock, the people in the house had already struck again.At that moment, I saw a swift black shadow pierce through the wooden wall, hitting another villager's head like a poisonous snake spitting out a letter, killing him with another blow.This time, Huang Dong saw clearly, the weapon used by the people in the house was an iron stone tied to a chain, and his killing method was to grab the chain, throw the iron stone out, smash the head of the enemy in the distance, and then use the chain to take the iron stone back.There are similar weapons in the Central Plains martial arts, but there are not many people who make them, and the reason we mentioned earlier - the more unpopular and peculiar the weapon, the higher the threshold for getting started; Most of the people who use this kind of Qimen weapon have practiced at least two or more common weapons before practicing such a thing, and they have reached a good level.In other words, people who use this kind of weapon, the upper limit may not be high, but the lower limit is definitely not low, if it is placed in the Central Plains martial arts, this is at least a second-rate master.Huang Donglai didn't dare to hold it up when he saw this, and after a breath, he almost instinctively moved a few steps in the opposite direction to the house.In the meantime, with the death of the second person, the remaining villagers finally screamed in horror and fled in all directions.In a blink of an eye, there were only two "brain-opening" corpses left outside the house, and Huang Donglai, who stood in the shadows and never made a sound.Pop - After a brief lull, the plank of the house wall shattered again.And this time, the iron stone that flew out of the house was undoubtedly aimed at Huang Donglai.Huang Donglai was not surprised by this, he just took half a step, easily dodged the blow, and then ......
Before the iron was retracted, he quickly reached out and grabbed the chain that attached the iron stone.The people in the house didn't know that there was a master outside besides the villagers, and when he threw out the third blow, he thought that he was going to attack a guy who was "already scared stupid and couldn't even escape".Therefore, when he was about to withdraw the iron stone, but found a stagnant force coming from his hand, he was also shocked.But this surprise quickly turned into a surging excitement."
Huh......
I didn't expect that in such a place, someone would be able to catch my ......"
The brother sneered and muttered to himself in the room, thinking that he would say a few lines like "Interesting, then I'll play with you seriously".Unexpectedly, in the next second, he felt an indescribable force from the chain in his hand, and dragged his whole person forward."
Hmm!
Ani?
”As a result, his lines, which were supposed to increase the fashion value, were suddenly interrupted and transformed into a miscellaneous fish.Peng——Because part of the chain was wrapped around his body, and there was a short scythe at the other end of the chain, this weapon was not easy to let go of for a while, so the user of the Qimen weapon was dragged outward by Huang Donglai and flew out through the not thick wooden wall of the house.When the other party came outside, Huang Donglai saw clearly: the user of the "lock sickle" (a weapon composed of a short sickle, iron stone, and chains) was a man with a thin body and an aging face.Of course, "old age" only refers to appearance, in fact, he is only in his fifties, and he is called the prime of life today, but because the nutrition and medical conditions in ancient times were not as good as now, and the situation in Japan at that time was even worse than that of Dashu, so many people here are not yet fifty years old and look like our contemporary sixty or seventy years old."
You guy......
Who is it?
”The lock sickle man quickly saw Huang Donglai's face clearly, and asked."
I still want to ask you, you suddenly called me and wanted my life, right?"
Huang Donglai responded unceremoniously."
Nonsense, who the hell found whom first?"
It seems that the scythe man has not turned his mind around at this point - Huang Donglai and the villagers who want to kill themselves are not in the same group.Fortunately, there is still a person in this room who understands."
Wait!"
The man spoke up in time to prevent the situation outside the house from escalating further, and he himself quickly walked out.
