Chapter 11: The Road to Escape (Part 2)
After eating, I packed up and continued to rush the road. The mountain road was difficult to walk, and it took only more than twenty miles until midday. Everyone looked at the mountains in front of me and saw the mountains rolling and undulating, and there was no end. They were all despair, but they were forced to cheer up and support themselves.
On the way, I saw Bu Jingxian who was thinking about the moon and asked him with guesses.
"Do you disagree with going to Chu State?"
Bu Jingxian smiled and said, "I think you have a reason, so there is no need to say more."
"There are relatives of this clan in the new city of Chu. Ten years ago, they moved to Chu to deal with money, grain and weapons. They are still considered to be a member of this sect. Although they are in trouble now, they are expected to be able to take some care of their support in the past. What's more, the sect sent someone to escort a batch of 5,000 gold weapons worth of armor half a month ago. At this moment, they must rely on this payment for the goods when they are in trouble."
Bu Jingxian was not surprised, nodded repeatedly, and finally asked, "The Chu country is a powerful martial arts country that produces iron tools, why do you still have many weapons trading with Wanxia Sect?"
"The demand has been very high in recent years, and it was purchased by the government. The price is quick and the transaction is safe and reliable. At least sixteen merchants in Chen State have fixedly built weapons for Chu State. I don't think Chu State will be able to settle for a long time."
The acquisition of weapons for a large number of years has consumed countless gold and silver, and no major power can support this consumption for a long time. It is bound to be conquered and plundered. The Chu State is obviously not as gentle as it seems, and the urgency to seek war is probably not under the Black Wolf Army.
However, at this moment, the big problems between these countries seem to have little to do with them. How to walk through the endless mountains in front of you is the priority.
The wild beasts in the mountains fled when they heard the noise, and even a bird had no hope of hunting. After driving for most of the day, everyone was hungry, but they had to hold on.
When the sun sets, someone falls down so hard that he can't stand it, so he has to rest.
The fallen people cried when they were rescued, which led to more than a dozen disciples who were pampered and were sobbing with grief. They were all broken by the hard work that had been tortured all day long. Others who did not cry, except for a few older people who had experienced hardships, also lost their fighting spirit and lowered their heads and faces.
I don’t know if I can cross the mountains alive to reach Chu State if I continue like this.
When Bu Jingxian saw the Moon being scolded by the sects and tried to inspire their fighting spirit, he asked Gui Jianchou to look for food separately. Without food, everyone's confidence would be difficult to last.
However, all the birds and beasts in the mountains were hidden, and there were no fruit trees. After searching for an hour, he only found a snake hole, and there were no live snakes inside. Finally, he found some edible wild vegetables and non-toxic wild mushrooms. He picked a big bag and thought it was enough to eat before returning the same route.
Gui Jianchou has already returned and is being surrounded by people and praised.
It turned out that he had hunted two gray hares, and Bu Jingxian praised him when he saw them. Gui Jianchou became more and more proud.
"All the fights are masters. But these beasts hunting in the mountains are all no match for me!"
The two hares were not enough for dozens of people to eat, but they had meat, so they added some wild vegetables and mushrooms to cook, which was easier to accept. Everyone happily arranged the meal, and they wanted to divide the flesh and blood when they were eating. Some people still shouted that the bones were reluctant to vomit. As they were eating, they suddenly started crying again.
"I think about how glorious the past of this sect was, and I didn't want to eat meat without picking the osteogen. Today I ended up in such a field. I was ecstatic about these white-water rabbit meat and reluctantly discarded it for the rabbit bones. What's the difference between it and the beggar on the street..."
As the man said, throwing the rabbit bone in his hand to the ground, and then stood up to the sky, crying loudly. Others were worried and couldn't stop wiping their tears.
Seeing this, Baiyue drank and said, "It's already in trouble now. If you don't forget the past, it will be difficult to face reality and start again. Everything in the past can only become the driving force for us to persevere, and it must not become a vision of immersing in memory and escaping reality! You always eat it. Seeing that the young man on the left bank worked hard to find food, but never took a sip of broth. I just hope you can drink more and hold on!"
