Chapter 188 Similar feeling
He shook the big knife that he hadn't had time to wipe, and the brown blood on it had frozen into frost.
There was a smell of blood on his body, and it turned out that there were bloodstains on the front of his clothes.
Pinch it twice and it still feels moist.
Uncle Wu never thought of cleaning the bloodstains, otherwise he would have nothing to scare people with.
He was the only strong laborer among the nine people, and he was a fake at that.
If he doesn't put some scary props on himself, who would be afraid of him?
The only two "strong" laborers were Youtie, who was twelve years old and was just a teenager.
Even tigers take naps sometimes, let alone he is just a butcher.
Uncle Wu was very worried just thinking about it, but he had to continue on his journey.
...
Three unkempt men came out of the mountains, carrying razor knives and wicker baskets on their backs.
Stiff wolf or rabbit skin was tied around the tattered cotton coat.
The tall man walking in front was leaning on a wooden crutch because of his difficulty walking.
He moved his ears, stretched out his left hand, and whispered.
"Hide quickly, there is movement ahead."
Wu Youcai and Wu Youqian quickly hid in the snow pile, and after digging a few times, only a small hole for breathing was exposed.
Uncle Wu pulled out a branch from behind and swept away the traces on the snow.
He retreated behind a big tree and swept away the traces he had left behind.
He also carefully inserted the branch into his back, which looked like a branch of a big tree at first glance.
‘Shashasha…’
'Hoo hoo hoo...'
A group of refugees crawled into the mountains, looking back from time to time, as if they were being chased by wolves.
When Uncle Wu saw that they were refugees entering the mountain, he did not show up to ask what was going on.
I watched these refugees rushing into the mountains aimlessly, but I didn't hear any wolves howling.
Uncle Wu found it very strange, after all, he was someone who had lived in the mountains before.
I have also killed wolves, hunted roe deer, and chased hares.
I have a relatively good understanding of the habits of animals.
In their haste to flee, the refugees didn't even notice the footprints they hadn't had time to clear.
It can be seen how frightened they were.
After a while, there was nothing behind.
There was not even the roar of wild animals.
The father and his two sons followed the footprints left by the refugees and quietly went down the mountain.
'kill! ’
'kill! ’
The earth-shaking shouts and the vibration of galloping horses.
The strong smell of blood can be smelled even from miles away.
The three of them had a bad feeling in their minds at the same time, and they didn't even have time to look closely to see who was stirring up trouble.
He turned and ran towards the mountains, but wisely did not run in the direction of the refugees.
"Big brother, second brother, we can't go to the capital city.
We can always get out by following this mountain, and it's safe." Uncle Wu said in a low voice.
"Dad, I'll listen to you." Wu Youcai said anxiously.
When he smelled the strong smell of blood, his young heart almost jumped out of his chest.
I was so scared that I didn't know what to do, so of course I just did whatever my dad said.
"Dad, I want to join the army."
Wu Youqian was silent for a long time before speaking.
“No matter where we flee to, we are still powerless and poor people.
When you deserve to be bullied, you will still be bullied.
If I were a general, no one would dare to bully you."
“No, joining the army is too dangerous.
I promised your mother that I would take you back to see her.
We have no place to live right now, where will you find us in the future?"
Uncle Wu firmly rejected his son's idea, saying that war would mean deaths.
He couldn't bear it.
"Dad, fighting is the best opportunity to achieve success.
Once you miss this opportunity, it will be difficult to come across it again.
Just listen to me for once, I'm an adult.
You often say that at my age, I can get married in the village." Wu Youqian actively strived for it.
"Big brother is the eldest son and will take care of you in your old age.
My third brother is too young to be a conscript, and I don’t like being a butcher, and I don’t like farming…”
Wu Youqian saw that his father had softened his attitude and said resolutely.
"If you don't let me go, I'll run away."
"You bastard, you have grown wings and dared to threaten your father."
Uncle Wu was so angry that he jumped up and slapped him.
After hearing the sound of a slap, he stared at his palm in a daze.
"I'm sorry, Dad shouldn't hit you. Let me think about it carefully."
Both the father and the son had tears in their eyes, but they tried their best not to let others see it and turned their heads away awkwardly.
"Dad, you have to believe in your son." Wu Youqian said expectantly.
"It's not that Dad doesn't believe you, but I can't explain to your mother.
I haven’t found Chunliu yet, and I’ve lost you again.
If I go back, she will skin me alive." Uncle Wu said in distress.
"No, just tell mom that I'm going to look for my sister.
Just imagine, a general's son would ask for an imperial decree for his mother.
It's a great honor for our family, my mother will definitely be very happy."
The more Wu Youqian spoke, the better his words sounded, as if the position of general was something he could easily get.
"Okay, you have to promise Dad.
Always put your own safety first.”
Uncle Wu was quite excited by what he said, as he went from being a farmer to being a descendant of a military family.
It seems to be very good!
"Okay, thank you, Dad.
I will definitely take good care of myself, and you just wait for my son to be promoted!
I promise to take you to the city and live a good life."
Wu Youqian was so happy that he jumped three feet high. After this period of training, he believed that he was no longer a farm boy.
He grabbed two handfuls of dried meat from the wicker basket and hid them in his arms.
Give it to dad along with the wicker basket.
"Brother, take good care of our parents and wait for my good news."
The young man, having gained his freedom, came out of the mountain excitedly.
Make achievements for your ideals.
...
Lushui Town.
There is a big town on the way to Dongzhou Prefecture from the capital, which is prosperous because of its favorable geographical location.
There are many wooden buildings along the main road, all of which are exquisitely carved and painted.
In the wide street corridor, there is a log as thick as a man's embrace every ten meters.
There are benches for rest in the corridor, which is very convenient for shoppers to take a break.
The signboards of each store are of the same size and color.
The black font is written in a flamboyant style, carrying the aura of a great man, and looks like the hand of one person.
It looks majestic at first glance, but it is quite captivating upon closer inspection.
Lin Shu quickly closed her eyes and surveyed the peaceful atmosphere in the space.
She didn't expect that the main road of an ordinary small town would be planned to look like a modern model street.
Could this be the work of some predecessor? We'd better keep quiet and behave ourselves!
She has no ambition to build a business empire, she just wants to be a lazy person who has no worries about food and drink.
I don’t want to be someone else’s meal.
Lin Shu's eyes were wandering and she pulled down her wolfskin hat to block her vision.
Deep down, she still wanted to see how others were doing well.
And she was still stuck in the process of fleeing and couldn't even find a place to stay.
He doesn’t dare to take out good things, and he has to hide even to eat white flour buns.
[Oh, it's really frustrating to compare yourself with others! ]
Lin Shu used to be secretly delighted that she had nearly a million in wealth, but now seeing other people's lavish spending, she is no longer happy at all.
Through the carved glazed window, I peered into the closed shop.
There were only a few items left on the shelves, and the interior of the store was covered with a thin layer of dust.
This shows that the store has been closed for many days.
