Wei Qi

In the dark night, the sky is starless, and the cold crescent moon is half hidden behind the dark clouds.

Wei Qi bit his lip. He was wearing black night clothes and shuttled through the mountains and forests. Behind him were a few soldiers dressed like him. They were heading towards the small valley behind the Crescent Moon Mountains where grain and grass were placed.

While on the way, Wei Qi couldn't help touching the fire pocket in his arms, and went through the planned plan in his mind.

It is late autumn now, the sky is dry and things are hot, the wind is strong and fast, as long as there is a little fire, I am afraid that all the food and grass will be burned. Although this is a waste of food, it is a pity and a crime, but there is nothing good except burning it Method.

The small valley is behind Crescent Moon Mountain, the deep depression is now pitch black, there are not too many people guarding the grain and grass, and they are all hidden in the dark now. Wei Qi can occasionally see the occasional shadow in the valley along the dim and cold light. flashed. "You, go around from the other side." Wei Qi and others hid outside the valley. He observed carefully and counted the time. From time to time, someone would pass by the valley. "Yes." The subordinate nodded, and two people followed him. "Remember, wait until the first moment of the ugly hour, at that time, you will start to surround you." At that time, people are sleeping the most, and they are also the most sleepy, and it is the best time to do it.

A few people hurried away, while Wei Qi and the other two were still lying in the bushes.In the silent autumn, there is a damp smell in the air from time to time.The body was wet unknowingly, Wei Qi reached out and touched it, the moisture on the branches and leaves was heavy, the relationship between the heavy frost and dew, the moisture condensed on them was turned into a string of water droplets under the warmth of their body temperature, soaking them clothes.

Wei Qi frowned, he turned his head to look at his companion with some hesitation, tilted his head and asked in a low voice. "Are your clothes wet too?"

The companion was startled, not understanding why Wei Qi asked this, but still nodded.Wei Qi took a breath, stretched out his hand to touch the branches and leaves farther away from him, except that his hands were cold, but there was no wetness.Except for the hiding place of the few of them, the branches and leaves in other places are only cold, but there are no drops of water.

For a moment, several thoughts flashed through Wei Qi's mind, the most was whether his fire attack would succeed?He doesn't know what's going on in the valley. If the grain and grass are close to these branches and leaves as they are now, the branches and leaves will not ignite if the temperature is heated. On the contrary, there will be a lot of moisture!

It was his lack of thoughtfulness.After all, he had never lived in the mountains before, so he didn't know that the branches and leaves in the mountains were much damper and colder than other places.

Huogong, there are too many variables!

This time, he had to hit it right away, otherwise, after being noticed by the opponent, I am afraid that if the food and grass moved, everything would become empty talk and the variables would be even greater.

Some anxiously thinking about it, but Wei Qi couldn't think of a way.This is a valley, the water source is far away, it is impossible to attack with water, once the attack with fire fails... This is in the mountains, even if you want to find some gunpowder and lamp oil!

Huh, lamp oil?

Wei Qi's heart moved. He remembered that when he was a child, he used a kind of tree oil to replace lamp oil. At that time, he had no money at all, let alone use lamp oil. It dripped something sticky like oil, which was very interesting. Once it got on it, it couldn't be washed off, and it was extremely flammable, but it had a strong smell, which was very irritating to the eyes.

When he just came here, he vaguely smelled the pungent smell, but he wasn't quite sure.Gritting his teeth and thinking for a while, he waved his hand and let the two of them stay here for now, while he went to check one or two.

Walking not far away, sure enough, he saw the kind of tree he recognized. There were vague traces of being cut or split naturally on the branches. The scars were filled with yellow and transparent substances, which were secreted by the tree itself. grease.

Wei Qi quickly scanned around, and there were not a few such trees around.Wei Qi breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly made several gestures to those two, and when they saw them, they hurried over together. "Take off your clothes and the clothes inside, scrape off all the grease and wrap it in the clothes, the more the better, have you seen those same trees? As long as the trunk of the tree is injured, it will If you have these things, collect them all, the more the better, we gathered at the foothold just now at the first moment of our ugly time, do you remember it?" Wei Qi asked softly, the two of them looked at each other inexplicably, but they He was originally a soldier, and obeying orders has been deeply rooted in his bones. Even though he felt a little unbelievable and couldn't figure it out, he didn't waste time asking again, nodded and started to act separately.

Wei Qi buried his head and began to collect the oil, and the two of them also began to collect carefully. There were many scars on the nearby trees. I don’t know why this happened, but this greatly helped Wei Qi. The oil on the tree would not drip. The piles of piles made Wei Qi concentrate on collecting them.After a while, all the underwear he took off was covered with this kind of grease. The original light-colored underwear was soaked in yellow grease, stained with dust, and turned gray, and the original color could not be seen.

Soon, Wei Qi had a good harvest, and the time finally came. Wei Qi went back to the place just now, and saw the two subordinates waiting for him.
