    This sleep was not restful.  I don't know how long he slept, but he began to dream.  First, he dreamed that the hundreds of ghosts he had led to the courtyard had followed him all the way down the mountain, including Baiying and Yan Baiheng, who were wandering around the hut when he was sleeping.  A piece of dark green, like a dark underworld.

    In his dream, he felt that this scene might be real.  When he used the Yin spirits before but did not drink them back, those things would usually follow him for seven or eight days.  As for Baiying and Yan Baiheng, they died because of him, so it is normal for them to cling to him for a few days.  But it doesn't matter, and then they slowly dispersed.

    But the other dream was a little weirder.

    He dreamed that a man with a fuzzy face and wearing a big red leather jacket came in from outside the hut, first saluted him respectfully, and then said: "This true king, the little god will suffer a catastrophe, please true king save me  !"

    After repeating this three times, the figure dispersed.

    Li Bochen woke up suddenly, sweating profusely from sleeping in this cold northern land.  Before he knew it, it was already dark. He sat on the ground for a while and recalled the dream just now, not knowing the deep meaning in it.

    But when he inadvertently looked at the trap in front of the door, he found that the trap had been triggered at some point.

    As soon as his heart was raised, he immediately lifted the net on his body, walked to the door with a dagger in his hand, and looked out carefully.  Tonight, the moon was very big, and the snow field was reflected brightly, so we found footprints.  Not human footprints, but a row of footprints of small animals - extending from a distance to the door, which seemed to touch the mechanism, and then extended to the bedside and turned around, mixing with the footprints he stepped on.

    When he was in the army, he occasionally went into the mountains with his companions to hunt tooth sacrifices, so he could tell that the footprints belonged to a little fox.  He was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but frowned¡ª¡ª

    There are only footprints of the little fox coming in, but no one going out.

    Thinking back to the dream just now, he realized that he might have seen some mountain monster.  Dangtu Mountain is a large mountain running east-west on the snow field, but there are many criss-crossing mountains south of Dangtu, which are called Siheng Mountains.

    This mountainous area is vast, occupying almost a quarter of the land of the Sui Kingdom, so there are naturally many mountain spirits.  Most of the underlings of the spirit gods will belong to some generals, and most of them are beasts with spiritual intelligence.

    Maybe the man in red in my dream is one of them.  Li Bochen knew that it was dangerous to deal with these things. These mountain spirits were moody, and they sounded like they were asking for help, or maybe they wanted to harm people. The best choice was not to provoke them.

    So he didn't think about it any more, just cut the broken net in the house with a dagger, twisted it into a long hemp rope, wrapped it around his waist, and walked out of the wooden house.  Because of dreaming about the man in red, this time he didn't stop day and night.  When you are hungry, you catch some birds and hares to eat, and when you are thirsty, you chew a few mouthfuls of snow.

    His destination is a small town in the Siheng Mountains, called Beikou.  Beikou Town holds an important road leading to Siheng and Dangtu, and the supplies in Wuliang City are usually transferred through this town, so there are more than 100 troops stationed all year round.  If Sui Buxiu repented and sent someone to chase and kill him, he would never have imagined that he would go to such a dangerous place.

    He got some money and clothes at Beikou, and then he could throw himself into the hinterland of the Sui Kingdom, where it would be hard to find.

    By the evening of the third day, Li Bochen saw Beikou Town between the white mountains and the black waters from a distance.  Since the morning, he has been cutting some branches from the tree with a dagger while walking, and then tied his back with the hemp rope around his waist. By this time, he had already carried a heavy bundle of firewood.

    He entered the street from the east side of the town without encountering any obstacles.  At this time, there are still many fur traders in Beikou Town, and these people mainly come here for the snow roe deer in Siheng Mountain.  The fur of snow roe deer is yellow-brown in spring, summer and autumn, but becomes snow-white and dense and soft in winter. It is very popular in affluent areas in the south.

    Although most of the leather goods dealers in the town had run away because of the war a few days ago, but because of the heavy snowfall a few days ago, some still couldn't leave, so they had to stay in fear.  Now that the monsters have retreated after breaking through Wuliang City, these people have been blessed by misfortune. They can not only buy a large amount of fur, but also lower the price.

    So the town is considered lively now, the streets are smooth and shiny by the wheels and people, and even the ashes sprinkled on them can't melt away.  It was just evening, and the restaurants on both sides were already fragrant with wine and meat. Rich merchants and high-ranking guests were drinking freely, and sometimes the sound of pipa and wooden flute soared into the sky.

    After smelling this smell, Li Bochen's stomach growled and his body became weak.  Not only because of the non-stop driving day and night, but also because of his own cultivation realm.  Ordinary people who don't practice can eat two meals a day to fill their stomachs, but even if he is in the spiritual enlightenment state, the vitality in his body is still flowing, and he is hungry faster than ordinary people.  I haven't eaten anything these days, it's almostWhen the lights are exhausted, you have to think of a good way to make a sacrifice to this five internal organs temple.

    But there was no way to sell the jade pendant in his arms¡ªit was impossible for someone in Beikou Town to come up with so much cash.  Even if it can be obtained, it is unlikely to be a gold collar.  If it's five hundred silver collars or half a million copper coins, he may not be able to pull them away even if he hires a few carts.

    So he walked along the side of the road and looked on both sides.  When I walked to the door of a restaurant named "Gui Lin Ju", I found that the horse posts in front of the door were all tied up, so I walked around the door a few more times.  Sure enough, soon a fellow came out in a hurry, and stopped him as soon as he saw it: "Hey, brother, do you sell this firewood?"

    Li Bochen wiped the sweat off his face and stood aside: "It's for sale."

    The man walked down the steps, and reached out to touch the firewood on his back: "Wet firewood Forget it, you caught up today. You have a lot of responsibility, and you have thirty dollars, okay?"

    Li Bochen knew that a load of firewood cost about 20 renminbi, but his load was indeed twice the usual amount, and 30 renminbi was neither too much nor too little.  He let out a sigh of relief: "Okay."

    "Okay, come with me."

    The man led him into the back yard through the side door, told him to put the firewood in the kitchen yard, and counted thirty coins for him.  He said to him again: "If you still go to collect firewood later, you can send it back, and you will be charged 30 yuan as usual."

    Li Bochen nodded.  But he only sells firewood to solve temporary difficulties, how can he really make money by doing this.  He pretended to be tight on his belt, and waited for the clerk to leave before taking a step.  But he didn't go out through the back door, but entered the lobby of the restaurant through the kitchen courtyard door.

    The lobby was very lively and filled with the smell of wine.  Most of the people sitting here are bodyguards and buddies brought by the wealthy businessmen upstairs.  Dozens of people occupied several tables, and the noise of laughter threatened to lift the roof.

    Li Bochen took a look at it, took a wine cup that was still confiscated from the wine cabinet, and put the broken hair on his face back, strode to a lively banquet table, and sat next to a person on a stool  .

    The man was chewing on the case and drank a lot of wine, only looking at him with drunken eyes.  Li Bochen unceremoniously reached out to take the jug to refill himself, held up the wine cup and said: "Everyone, everyone, listen to me!"

    The dozen or so people at the table were originally eating, drinking and making noise, but they subconsciously looked at him.

    Li Bochen said casually: "Last year when I walked to Beikou, my shopkeeper had an accident. Fortunately, your name helped me. Today, my brother came to offer a toast to you. If you don't do it, you will lose face!"

    Having said that, he raised his head and drank three bowls in a row.

    No one at the table recognized him, but judging by his behavior, he didn't know which company in the hall he belonged to.  Seeing that he has an extraordinary appearance with sword eyebrows and star eyes, and he is also drunk, why should he think about anything else.  All of a sudden they applauded, and they all did it.

    Li Bochen stood up: "Then brother¡ª¡ª"

    The person next to him grabbed him, and said with drunken eyes: "I'm leaving now? You don't want to give me face! I remember you owed me a few drinks last year!"

    The people at the table shouted loudly and came to pull him one after another.  Li Bochen sat down, greeted with a smile, poured a few bowls of wine, and ate with his head buried.  (Remember the site URL: www.hlnovel.com
