Chapter 102 Unfavorable to go out
After Lu An finished tea, he paid for it and spent a total of three cents. It seems that it is indeed very cheap, so the old Taoist should come often.
After looking at the direction, Lu An still walked north according to his own ideas and did not follow the advice of the old Taoist.
Zuo'an City is indeed a small city. Although it is small, it is indeed complete. After walking a few steps, Lu An was attracted by some shops next to him. Lu An was dazzled by all kinds of jerky meat and furs. Lu An was also dazzling. There were many strange things that Lu An had never seen before. The road that could be completed in a few minutes took a stick of incense to finish. Of course, there were also many messy things in his hand.
Then Lu An walked out of Zuo'an City with satisfaction.
Holding the hilt of the sword in hand, his steps were light, and he headed straight north all the way.
Although Lu An is alone, he is not alone. There are carriages along the way, from north to south, from south to north, very lively and very enthusiastic, so that Lu An is unable to practice swordsmanship well, because people have been greeting Lu An along the way and asking Lu An if he wants to take a ride. Lu An apologized and smiled, saying that he didn't need it.
After rejecting the two teams, Lu An met the third team. The boss of the team was an old man in his fifties. Seeing Lu An rushing alone, he got off the car enthusiastically and asked Lu An if he wanted to take the car. At first, Lu An refused, but he couldn't resist the old man's enthusiasm. After sincerely invite Lu An three times, Lu An had to agree to take a car.
At first, Lu An was very cautious and always thought this kind of thing was strange, but after chatting with Mr. Hong Yan along the way, he knew the reason.
Zuo'an City is not located in the southwest of the Han Dynasty. It is precisely the southwest. This place is full of rain, vast territory, but the terrain is relatively high, so it is basically grasslands, which are very suitable for raising cattle and herding sheep. Cattle and sheep can be regarded as a major feature of Zuo'an City. Therefore, Lu An saw so much jerky in Zuo'an City, and the price was very cheap, and Lu An also bought a lot of them.
The people here are extremely hospitable. When they see lonely people like Lu An, they will kindly ask, because they basically know that they are not locals at first glance. The locals here are grazing sheep and cattle all year round and often get in the wind and rain, so their skin is very rough and dark. Lu An noticed it when he was in the city, but he didn't expect that it was the reason.
Therefore, locals take good care of these foreigners, because if they are not taken care of, these foreigners will basically not survive for a night.
Lu An was puzzled why he could not live for a night.
Uncle Hong smiled and told Lu An that he would know at night.
In this way, dozens of people, plus dozens of carriages, were slowly moving forward.
After walking for a while, he saw a few people left alone. Hong Yan warmly got off the car and invited several people to take a ride. He basically agreed, but a few still refused resolutely.
Every time he was rejected by such a stubborn person three times, Hong Yan would hold his shoulders with one hand, bent down and say, "May the grassland bless you." Then he would leave.
The others in the convoy looked at the people who had not got on the bus with a look of looking at the dead, and Lu An had an ominous premonition in his heart.
"Young master, don't be nervous. There are so many of us, we are not troubled. Moreover, we, Zuo'an, have always been very hospitable and have no bad ideas about the guests who come from afar." Hong Yan saw Lu An's concerns and explained.
Lu An looked at the few people who came back, and all looked relaxed, and he immediately felt a little relieved.
In this way, the number of people in the convoy, which originally had only 20 or 30 people, gradually increased, and there were almost fifty or sixty people. Lu An wanted to ask, but seeing Hong Yan busy commanding there, he gave up this idea and thought of a thought in his mind. Since he came, he would be at ease. Then he found a carriage to fill hay, lay on the hay, and looked at the sky with his hands on his head.
In this way, the sky gradually darkened.
The convoy suddenly stopped, and Hong Yan shouted: "Stop! Camp! Park! Camp!"
Lu An looked around and everyone got out of the car at once and started moving enthusiastically. After a while, several tents were set up, the goods were piled up in the center, and more than a dozen bonfires were lit on the outside, and they saw them scattering things on the outside.
Lu An seemed to be unable to help much after seeing him, so he could only watch them turbulently.
"Young Master, now you can have a good rest. You may need your help in the evening. At that time, I hope you can do your best." Hong Yan said to Lu An.
Lu An nodded. Although he didn't know what the reason was, he didn't ask anything.
Finally, the group of people was busy and sat around the campfire. Hong Yan took a lot of lamb legs and beef and divided them down. The group started barbecue.
Lu An felt a little embarrassed when he looked at Hong Yan who was so enthusiastic. As the saying goes, he will not receive any rewards. Now he has taken someone else's car and ate someone else's meat. The key is that he has not given any money.
After walking around, Hong Yan came to Lu An and sat down, "Young Master is still used to eating?"
Lu An responded with a smile, "When you go out, some of them are good to eat, so you won't be picky, but the meat is quite fragrant."
Hong Yan smiled heartily, and the few people next to him also laughed in agreement.
"Boss, do you think you will encounter them tonight?" the young man next to him suddenly asked Hong Yan.
Hong Yan's laughter came to an abrupt end and cursed angrily: "Unpredictable."
The young man immediately became timid and dared not ask again.
When Lu An heard this, he became curious and asked, "What will you encounter in the evening? You see you are so nervous and have taken so many measures."
Hong Yan smiled and explained: "It's a wolf, there are many wolves on the grassland. We believe in the god of the grassland. The wolf is the messenger of the god of the grassland. If you meet it at night, you will be lucky and give some meat and they will leave. If you are not lucky," he said.
Before Hong Yan finished speaking, Lu An knew what the meaning of this sentence was, "If you are not lucky, you can only fight, so you will invite these lonely people along the way, both for their safety and for your own safety. One more person and more effort."
Hong Yan nodded and laughed, "Young Master is right. If I don't bring these people with me, they will definitely die. Unless they are practitioners, they will definitely not be able to stop the wolves. But who can walk by the practitioners? They either take a big boat or go south. Are you stupid to walk north with your legs? It takes a month to go north to reach the next city."
When Lu An heard this, he laughed and muttered in his heart, yes, I'm just stupid.
"Then you twenty or thirty people come out to take goods, aren't you afraid?" Lu An asked.
"Not afraid, although we are not strong, everyone dares to fight with wolves. There are only a few dozen wolves in ordinary packs, and it's almost enough to deal with one person. At most, we are just injured. Moreover, our boss is a second-grade martial artist, who is very strong, and one person can deal with more than a dozen wolves, which is not at all." The young man answered first.
Hong Yan slapped him to the ground and scolded: "You're talking too much."
"Uncle! You hit me again, when you go back, I will tell my aunt to go." The young man replied.
"Dafei, didn't you tell you? Go out and call me boss, and call me uncle, you won't beat you to death! You dare to threaten me." Hong Yan cursed angrily.
Lu An smiled repeatedly when he saw it.
"I'm laughing at you. In terms of strength, I really don't dare to compare myself with you." Hong Yan suddenly said.
Lu An looked at Hong Yan in confusion, not understanding why he said this.
Hong Yan whispered in a low voice: "I still have this little vision. Just looking at the young master's pace, I don't think I can compare to it."
Lu An smiled silently and replied, "Uncle Hong, you are polite. I am just an ordinary person, I am not much more powerful."
Dafei asked in confusion: "Boss, are you watching a joke?"
Hong Yan slapped Dafei directly to the ground with another slap, "This kid is a little reckless, I hope you don't care too much."
Lu An waved his hand and replied, "Uncle Hong, you are polite, I am not so petty."
When Hong Yan heard this, he burst into laughter and took out a pot of wine from behind, "Young Master, try the goat milk wine that we have here."
When Lu An heard the word "Wine", his eyes lit up and he nodded.
"I don't know if you are used to drinking." Hong Yan poured a glass for Lu An as he said.
Lu An took it and smelled it. Suddenly, a strong smell of wine choked up, and then smelled a strong milky smell. The two smells mixed together, and he couldn't help but frown. He was really a little uncomfortable.
Hong Yan laughed when he saw Lu An's reaction, "Try it, it tastes very good."
Lu An nodded and drank it all. His throat suddenly became hot, and his mouth was filled with a milky smell. Then the milky smell rushed directly into his mind. He felt that this person was a little dizzy and unconsciously burped. The smell of wine mixed with milky smell was sprayed out of his mouth, feeling a hint of milky smell.
Such a unique taste made Lu An fall in love with it. He kept nodding, muttering that the taste was good, then reached out and asked Hong Yan for a bowl. This time he drank it slowly, without a sip, and began to carefully savor the unique goat milk wine.
Seeing that Lu An was very happy, Hong Yan burst into laughter again and poured a bowl for himself. The two of them started drinking while chatting.
Just like this, the few people chatted late at night. Lu An learned a lot of customs and customs from the people, which really made Lu An open his eyes and was very novel.
Late at night, everyone was full and drunk and lay down, dozed off, and snored, and suddenly snoring. These were all the big men, almost everyone was snoring.
The snoring was really loud, and Lu An wanted to sleep for a while, but listening to the snoring sounds, he could only open his eyes silently and look around. He found that there were many people not sleeping, five or six people scattered everywhere, watching the night.
Lu An stood up, and after a few weeks of running the Five Elements Art, he dispelled the alcohol. After moving it for a while, he took a few pieces of wood and threw it into the bonfire. He read the book through the bonfire.
I don't know how long it took, Lu An suddenly raised his head and felt something strange. He got up and looked around, but found nothing. He couldn't help but wonder, because Lu An obviously felt a trace of murderous aura just now, but it was unknown where it floated over, but after reading it, he didn't find anything. Maybe he felt wrong again, so he continued to look down at the book.
As soon as he sat down, this strange feeling appeared again. This time it was not the same direction, but a large amount of murderous aura. Lu An recalled what Hong Yan said before, his face changed, and he quickly woke Hong Yan beside him.
After Hong Yan drank the wine, he was sleeping happily. After being woken up by Lu An, he was still a little confused and looked at Lu An in a daze.
"Maybe the wolf is coming." Lu An said softly.
When Hong Yan heard this, his eyes suddenly became clear, his face changed, he immediately stood up, walked towards the group of people watching the night, and asked one by one.
After walking around, I didn't notice anything unusual, and looked at Lu An in confusion.
Lu An nodded firmly and pointed in a direction, "It should be gathered behind the slope, and there are many."
Hong Yan was very confused and didn't know whether to believe Lu An's words, but just in case, he woke up his own group of people first. The group of people woke up in confusion, yawned, looked around quietly, and looked at Hong Yan in confusion.
Hong Yan was about to explain, but Lu An's face changed and he shouted: "Here you come!"
At this moment, Hong Yan's face also changed, because he also felt the vibrations coming from the ground, and it became more and more obvious. Seeing that he was coming to him, he hurriedly shouted loudly, and everyone woke up.
Hong Yan's heart was beating very fast at this moment. If it weren't for Lu An's reminder, he would have really had a big trouble this time.
Hong Yan's people reacted very quickly. After feeling the abnormal movement, they quickly took out their long sword and defended around the horses and goods.
The people who had just woken up also felt the abnormal movement, stood up one after another, and quickly moved closer to Hong Yan.
Lu An looked at the large group of wolves in front of him with a serious expression, and gritted his teeth and said, "These are dozens? At least there are a hundred, right?"
At least a few hundred pairs of eyes staring at Lu An and his group of people in the distance, but they were stopped by the bonfire and did not approach, which may have been because of the failed sneak attack.
In this way, people and wolves looked at each other.
"Why are there so many?" Hong Yan looked disbelief.
"What should I do, uncle, there are too many of them." Dafei asked tremblingly.
"What's the hurry? Maybe I'll leave after giving me some meat, calm down." Hong Yan replied.
Lu An cursed in his heart, I believe you, a ghost.
