There was a commotion in the street, and the innkeeper quickly closed the door, trying to make the illusion that there was no business.
Song QingHan did not know why, but he knew it was not a good thing, so he got up and prepared to go back to his room.
At this time, the door plank "bang" by the person from outside to break, a group of tall and powerful men accompanied by the wind and snow came in.
"Close the door? Does closing the door work? Can you count your brain? Well? "
A rough voice sounded, and the tone was full of banditry.
The shopkeeper was shivering under the counter, even dare not fart, as if he had forgotten his own existence.
Song QingHan takes back his sight and continues to go upstairs.
"And you? Answer
A bench suddenly flew up and was flying towards song QingHan, but when it was about to hit song QingHan, it burst out in front of him and became a pile of flying sawdust.
When he saw song QingHan standing in the same place, he was surprised and said, "it's interesting. Come here!"
Song QingHan slowly opened his eyes and calmly said, "I'm just a passer-by. I don't have anything you need."
With that, he continued to climb upstairs, seemingly not worried about those people throwing another bench.
"How dare you not listen to the leader! See how I teach him
"Yes! Go around the back and don't let him jump out of the window
"..."
however, the leader in the center of the topic suddenly raised his right hand and made a gesture to stop him. He said in a loud voice: "go to the business first! Don't touch him
When he said this, everyone immediately stood at attention and yelled "yes". Then they dispersed in an organized way and began to search the inn.
After standing there for a while, the big leader suddenly walked towards the counter, bent down to pick up the trembling shopkeeper under the counter, and said with a grim smile, "how come you don't have a long memory? Do you want to lie to me or yourself
The shopkeeper frowned and murmured, "big, master, spare your life. The harvest is not good these days. I have old people and small ones. It's really...
" shut up! " The big leader suddenly said, pause, don't know what thought of, eyes narrowed up, raised the chin rushed upstairs point, tone inexplicable way: "just who is that female man? Where are you going? "
At the beginning, the shopkeeper didn't react. When he wanted to ask the leader which female man he was talking about, song QingHan's face suddenly appeared in his mind, and suddenly realized: "it's him! I don't know. He just arrived a short time ago. He asked me which snow mountain is more likely to have iceberg and snow lotus. I said that I had never seen this thing. How can I know, he didn't speak. Later, he ordered a table of dishes, and you arrived just after eating."
"Iceberg snow lotus?" The big boss repeated, a smile flashed across his eyes, and murmured: "then use this as bait!"
After searching the town as usual, the people of Feiying village gathered at the inn again.
With his hands on his back, he slowly walked up the stairs, stood in front of the door indicated by the shopkeeper, reached out his hand and tapped on the door twice. He cleared his throat and said, "is this young master here looking for iceberg snow lotus? It happens that there is a growth zone of Saussurea involucrata not far from my village. Do you want to visit it
Without waiting for him to say more words, the door "creak" opened. Song QingHan's face appeared in front of him and asked seriously, "what you said is serious?"
Seeing that the "bait" is so easy to use, a chrysanthemum like smile broke out on the face of the big leader, and he said: "of course it is true. What can I do for a foreigner who has no strength to bind a chicken?"
Although song QingHan found an exaggerated expression on his face, he still agreed after pondering for a moment, nodded his head and said, "then you can go and have a look. If it is false, you will feel that the gain is not worth the loss."
Seeing that song QingHan was more anxious than himself, he went down the stairs directly, touched his chin with his eyes turned, and finally sneered and shook his head: "the gain is not worth the loss? I'd like to see how the gains outweigh the losses
The members of Feiying stronghold cheated the young and beautiful female man without a single soldier. They could not help but look at each other and see the admiration in each other's eyes.
After song QingHan walked out of the inn, he saw a group of husky at the gate of the town, thinking that he was wrong.
After seeing song QingHan's stupefied expression, the great leader proudly introduced: "this kind of dog can run freely in the snow. Only in our flying eagle stockade can we have this kind of dog nearby!"
"Come on He took the lead to sit on the sledge, stretched out his hand to song QingHan and said, "come up!"
Song QingHan naturally didn't need the help of a big leader. Although he had never taken a sled in modern times, it doesn't mean that he didn't see it. As for the initial stupidity, it was completely because he didn't expect that there were such things in ancient times here.
After all the people sat down, the leader whistled, and the huskies ran spontaneously. Although it was not as "free" as the leader described, it was much faster than walking in the snow. It's just that it's fast, and it's really shaking. Song QingHan feels that his internal organs are going to be bumped out, especially since he has just eaten so much food that he hasn't digested it.
The big leader saw that his face was a little blue, as if he had just thought about it. He took something like a snuff bottle from his pocket and put it under the cold nose of Song Qing. He said in a loud voice, "smell it, it's good!"
Song QingHan knew it was a good thing when he smelled the fragrant and exciting smell, so he took it and took a deep breath.
As soon as the taste of peppermint rushes into the brain, it seems to break through all the nerves, so that song QingHan can activate his spirit, disperse the depression in his chest, and become happy.
He knew that things would go against the extreme, so although he was very nostalgic about the smell, he put down the object when he smelled the third mouthful and began to adjust his breathing to adapt to the bumpy state.
When he saw this scene, his eyes flashed with surprise, and his mouth was filled with a smile of appreciation.
I don't know how long it was bumping. When the sledge stopped, song QingHan had no strength to get up. He squatted in the place for several breaths, and finally stood up on his knees and returned the object to the leader.
Although the big leader's hand was rejected again, he didn't look very angry. Instead, he said with a smile: "do you know what you smell? If you smell it a fourth time, you may never get rid of it."
Song QingHan Leng Leng Leng, a tight heart, frowned: "Poppy?"
The big leader looked more surprised. He raised his eyebrow and said, "it seems that you know a lot. But as far as I know, I only grow poppies in Feiying village, so where do you know?"
When he heard him say that the opium poppy was planted in Feiying village, song QingHan's face was not very good-looking. He said earnestly, "do you know the harm of this thing? What do you plant it for? "
Seeing that his expression was serious, the leader also restrained the smile on his face and said in a deep voice: "the place where the eagle stronghold is located is quite special. For the people in the stronghold, injury is a common occurrence. And the poppy you mentioned is just a kind of essential medicine that we need, so we always keep this custom."
Song QingHan moved his eyes, looked around the environment, and suddenly understood what "special" meant.
The place where Feiying stronghold is located is more than special. It's really bad. On the snowy hillside, you can build some houses with trees at random, and it becomes a simple living place. Let alone the avalanche, they can't eat any wild animals.
He frowned and said, "why do you have to live in such a place? Is there no place to live at the foot of the mountain
The big leader gave a free and easy smile, with an inexplicable emotion in his eyes. He said slowly, "this is the mission our ancestors chose, and we should inherit it. For so long, we are used to it."
After all, listen to his meaning, which involves some old memories. As an outsider, it is not easy to ask more questions.
But there was a question he had to ask. After looking around for a few times, he frowned and asked, "where is the growth zone of iceberg snow lotus?"
This time it was the turn of the great leader to keep silent. Under the gaze of song QingHan, he scratched his head and said with a smile: "this is a legend. Where is the concrete, we should analyze it concretely."
With that, he ran away as if he were afraid that song QingHan would ask questions.
Song QingHan looked at the big leader who disappeared in the blink of an eye. He looked back at the boundless white snow. He knew that he could not go down with his legs. He had to sigh and walk up slowly. He decided to stay here for a while to find out whether the iceberg snow lotus was true or not.
The big leader saw song QingHan come up, and with a smile on his lips, he warmly pulled him and said hello to the people in the stockade.
The people who live here have chapped skin and become as dry as tree bark after a long time. Therefore, when they see song QingHan, a female man with water spirit, they can't help but show a kind smile.
Song QingHan was still a little impatient at the beginning. When he found that the people here were not as difficult as they imagined, he put down a little caution and tentatively accepted them.
Just walked not far, next to suddenly jumped out of a thin man, block in front of song QingHan, fork waist, laughing.
In the middle of the house, he saw the man smile for a while and then lay down on the ground and roll. His face was gloomy and said, "did you smoke too much dog eggs?"
An elderly female man staggered out and hugged the dog eggs in the mouth of Dadang's family and cried: "big master, please give the dog eggs another chance! He will certainly learn well, but this time I can't help it. Watching him hit the wall, my heart aches! "
