Chapter 5 Don't Know Good and Bad

The bamboo raft floated out of the small river and merged into the big river. Niu Youdao took the pennies and let the bamboo raft drift with the current. The whereabouts of Dongguo Haoran must be good, there is no reason to lie to yourself, but there is no need to be suspicious.

Sitting on the bamboo raft, I used a firewood blade to make some small bamboo sticks, pulled some dry firewood I prepared in advance, took out the torch and lit a small fire on the flat big stone, and baked the small bamboo sticks to produce History, until the toughness of roasting is enough, and the small bamboo strips are cut into small pieces. He pulled out the twine he had prepared in the village from his bosom, and stretched it with his hands. After confirming that it was strong enough, he tied small pieces of bamboo strips to the twine at the middle point of the bamboo strips.

He also pulled out a straw from his bosom, cut it into small pieces, and bent the tough bamboo stick. The short piece of straw covered both ends of the stretched bamboo stick, preventing the small bamboo stick from bouncing off. After digging through the shabby clothes hole, he took out a small handful of wheat grains, which he pulled out one by one from the mud in the village, probably spilled by bandit soldiers when they robbed grain. Twist a grain of wheat and stuff it into the hole of the straw that stretches the two ends of the small bamboo strips. In this way, more than a dozen simple mechanisms are made on a single twine.

Then the twine went into the water, and one end was tied to the bamboo raft. The rest was left to fate, and Niu Youdao didn't care. A piece of bamboo tube took water from the river, slowly swallowed it into the mouth, warmed it, and then swallowed the stomach, and sat on the bamboo raft. Roasting on the fire, admiring the scenery on both sides of the river, there is obvious curiosity about the world in the eyes.

I don't know how long it took, and suddenly I felt a little movement when I sat down on the bamboo raft. It seemed that something was moving under the water, and I looked happy. The movement kept coming, but he sat there without moving, and it didn't take long for the movement to stop.

Pull the twine from the back of the bamboo raft to collect it, and soon a fish weighing two or three catties was dragged out of the water. The gills on both sides of the fish had been stretched open by the bamboo sticks, and the fish was already half dead after a while. Don't underestimate this small and simple fishing mechanism. Fish gills are the breathing system of fish underwater. If breathing is obstructed, even fish living underwater will be drowned by water. The bamboo sticks are flexible, and the fish can’t break free even after a few hits. In addition, the lack of oxygen quickly loses strength underwater. Once caught, it is difficult to escape. On the contrary, the fish caught by the hook can compete underwater for a long time. .

Of course, this small mechanism also has flaws, and it is difficult for big fish to get it.

There is no way, the conditions in the village are limited, and there is no food for him to carry, so he can only pick up random things to make do with the local conditions, and he must find a way to feed himself along the way.

The fish is picked off and thrown away, and a small piece of straw is re-stretched, baited and put into the water again. The other wheat grains had already bubbled up, and he reckoned that the chances of luring fish had greatly increased.

Pick up the half-dead fish, take out the dagger, disembowel the fish, wash it in the river for a while, re-ignite the fire, stick the fish on a skewer, and roast it there happily. Since the fish can be caught, it seems that the ecological environment here is not bad. He is going to eat, drink and scatter on this bamboo raft. Hearing that there is a lot of chaos here, it is probably safer to stay on the bamboo raft.

The fish had just been roasted, and Niu Youdao, who was bragging with his hands hot, hadn't eaten a few bites, when there was a pulling movement under the bamboo raft again, and Niu Youdao was happy.

At the same time, on the shore in the distance, a carriage was bumping and running wildly, and a group of people behind it galloped after it. After catching up quickly, the cavalry rushing by on both sides raised their crossbows and shot randomly into the carriage. There were screams, and the carriage was quickly stopped.

When the bamboo raft passed by, Niu Youdao, who was slowly eating grilled fish, witnessed soldiers throwing several corpses from the carriage. The man of the earth stabbed down.

Such a murder in broad daylight was a bit too much for Niu Youdao who had experienced another world. The most important thing was what he had seen and heard in the village before, which made him preconceived of this group of officers and soldiers.

The general who drew back his gun also noticed Niu Youdao, strangely, grilled fish on bamboo rafts?

Niu Youdao also noticed that the group of officers and soldiers noticed him, so he pretended to be a good citizen and did his own thing, pulling the twine from the back of the bamboo raft, and bringing up another fish.

There was interest in the general's eyes, and he said to his subordinates: "It's the middle of winter, with tattered cold clothes, but he has a way to feed himself. This young man looks clever, and with a little training, he might be a good seed." It was a woman's voice who spoke.

The subordinates understood that this was to arrest the young man as a soldier, and immediately shouted at Niu Youdao on the bamboo raft: "That young man, come to the shore quickly, I have something to ask you." They wanted to trick them.

Niu Youdao didn't dare to go to the shore, he pretended he didn't hear, wiped his hands on his clothes casually, pulled out the grilled fish on the bamboo raft, and continued to bury his head in eating his own, as if he was pretending to be deaf.

Dole! An arrow feather nailed to the bamboo raft trembled slightly, right next to Niu Youdao, almost frightened Niu Youdao to jump, what if the shot misses a bit?

Looking up with angry eyes, it turned out that it was the general who had killed with a gun before.

The other party sat on the back of the horse, pointed at him with a bow, and shouted: "Young man, come here!"

The voice was crisp and bright, and it was pleasant to hear. Niu Youdao knew that it was a female general, but he couldn't tell the male and female generals because he was dressed in battle armor, so he became angry. !"

Although the female general didn't see what he meant by the middle finger, she could tell from the cursing of the other party that this gesture was definitely not a compliment to her. An ordinary citizen who dares to scold officers and soldiers directly is quite courageous, and there is some meaning in it, sneer With a sound.

Immediately, more than a dozen of her subordinates pointed their bows and arrows at this side.

"I'll go!" Niu Youdao yelled strangely, how could he forget that the other party had a bow and arrow, he knew that he shouldn't swear at others to anger the other party, turned over, and plunged into the icy river.

With a series of sounds, more than a dozen arrow feathers were nailed to where Niu Youdao was sitting just now, the flames jumped up, and the firewood burning on the stone board was blown away by the arrows.

The female general said "Hey", and her eyes became more and more appreciative. She found that this young man is not simple, and his reaction speed is fast enough. Most people are afraid that they are already overwhelmed by fright. The first reaction of this young man is to avoid danger in advance. Confirmed It was indeed a good seed, which aroused her interest in taking it under her command even more.

She raised her hand to stop the subordinates who were about to shoot again, looked at them with a playful face, and led the team to follow the floating bamboo rafts.

Under the water, he stretched out his hand to climb the edge of the bamboo raft, and looking up, Niu Youdao discovered that the pile of dry firewood piled up on the bamboo raft had been ignited by the fire. If it was burned, he might not be able to take the corpse to Shang Qingzong without a vehicle based on his current body.

Seeing the other side's men and horses walking along the bank at a leisurely pace, clearly staring at him, Niu Youdao grabbed the bamboo raft, paddled with his feet, and pulled the bamboo raft to the other side of the bank.

The female general took out an arrow from the quiver casually, put on the bow and drew the string, and shot it with a swish.

Niu Youdao turned his head and followed the shadow of the arrow that flashed by, and saw that the arrow was stuck in a tree trunk with a crooked neck on the opposite bank and trembling, the corners of his mouth twitched. A river channel that was at least sixty to seventy meters wide could easily hit an unsightly arrow on the opposite bank. It was a big tree, and it was too obvious what the other party meant. This was showing off his arrow skills, and was warning him that if he dared to go ashore from the opposite bank, she would shoot him down with one arrow, so don't even try to run away.

Niu Youdao really had this idea, if he couldn't do it, he would give Dong Guo Haoran a water burial, and he slipped to the other side to run away. It wasn't because he was ruthless, but because the water was too cold, and he would die if he soaked for a long time.

With a playful smile on the corner of the female general's mouth, as if to see how long you can soak in the water, she led the men and horses to suppress the riding speed, and stared at Niu Youdao to death. He also asked Mara to drive a long line on the river bank to keep an eye on the river section from a long distance to prevent him from diving and escaping.

After resisting for a while, Niu Youdao began to tremble with his teeth closed, and finally couldn't help it, he shouted: "The general, the villain has no grievances or enmity with you, why do you force him to die?"

The female general replied: "No grievances or enmities? Who was the bitch scolding just now?"

"..." Niu Youdao was speechless for a while, and then shouted: "Can you don't remember the mistakes of villains?"

The female general simply said: "No!"

Niu Youdao: "How can I let it go?"

Female general: "It's very simple, come to my command to serve and atone for your sins, and be my soldier!"

You're so savage, why don't you torture me to death? Niu Youdao was full of slander, and he couldn't believe the other party, quite suspicious that the other party was trying to trick him into cleaning up. Since the other party was unreasonable, he didn't have anything to be polite, and replied loudly: "I'm not interested in being your soldier, how about being your man?"

The female general sneered and said: "If you don't have full hair, you still dare to speak hard. Let's see how long you can soak!" Put an arrow on the bow and make it look like it is about to shoot.

Niu Youdao took a deep breath, got into the water, grabbed the woven vines under the bamboo raft, and sneaked under the bamboo raft.

However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement, and then quietly raised his head again. As soon as his head appeared, the opponent drew his bow again, forcing him into the water again.

After repeating it several times, Niu Youdao understood that the other party was playing tricks on him, but he still didn't dare not hide, what if the other party really shot him? He is now a little skeptical of Dong Guo Haoran's words. Didn't he say that the amulet can keep him safe all the way? Why doesn't it have any effect?

He had to sneak to the place where the dry firewood was piled up. Under the dry firewood was Dong Guo Haoran's body, and now he didn't care whether the arrows would hurt the innocent.

Fortunately, there is no such thing as a road, and when he was trying to escape, a complicated terrain appeared on the river bank ahead, and it was difficult for the horses to walk close to the river. In the mountain area, the flow speed seems to have accelerated a lot.

One of the men went from patting the horse to the female general and muttered for a while. The female general looked at the terrain in front of her. After being silent for a while, she took out a sign and tied it to an arrow. With a swishing arrow from the upper bow, it was nailed to the bamboo raft. Come on, and then shouted loudly: "Boy, listen up, for the sake of seeing how happy you are playing with the general today, I will show you a clear way! There is chaos outside, and the world is difficult. If you figure it out, you can use the nameplate to broaden the meaning If the county looks for the government, they will find me. I can’t guarantee anything else, but if you are fed and clothed, you will be fine. Maybe you can have a better future, don’t be ignorant of what’s good!” After saying that, he turned the horses and led a group of people back. , gallop away.
