The convoy stops as it moves, and will take a break not too far away.
After walking for two full days, the three of them still didn't see the town.
It was their following that attracted the attention of the convoy in front.
Each one held a steel knife and was on careful guard all the way, stopping to exchange a few words from time to time.
The most important thing is that the place where the other party rests has changed.
At first, these people found some shady places to rest and made fires to cook.
But in the back, wherever you have a wide view, you can rest somewhere. You don’t have to cook and just eat dry food.
Seeing this situation, Zhang Shengli smiled bitterly: "Think of us as robbers!"
Mu Qing had a strange expression on his face and turned to look at Tang Li: "Sister, what should we do now?"
"What else can I do? Just go and ask for directions!"
Mu Qing: "Looking at how they look now, it seems they won't let us get close."
Tang Li: "Just ordinary people like them, do you think they can stop us?"
Mu Qing shook his head.
It's incomparable. If my father had built a mecha, he might be able to sweep these people in front of me.
What's more, facing gods like Tang Li and Zhang Shengli.
"Hey, what do you do?"
Finally, it wasn't Zhang Shengli who couldn't bear it anymore, but the team that couldn't bear it anymore.
Two men, armed with steel knives, were coming towards them.
"Come with us and we'll be on our way together. If you need anything, just tell me!"
He was quite polite when he spoke, at least he didn't yell directly at anyone.
Seeing this, Zhang Shengli took two steps forward: "We just want to follow you and see where there are towns. We are lost!"
This was a false statement, but the other party glanced at Tang Li and Mu Qing.
Just such a look made their hearts tremble and they could no longer move away.
"That's it, then you can follow us. In two days' journey, we will reach the nearest town here."
When the two said this, their eyes never left Tang Li and Mu Qing.
Beautiful women are very popular wherever they go.
Zhang Shengli was almost certain that if it weren't for Tang Li and Mu Qing, these two guys would definitely chase them away.
"Thank you very much! But don't worry, we have food to eat!"
The meaning is obvious, we just don't know the way, and we won't take your needle, thread, or sip of water.
The two of them said nothing, looked at each other, and then put away the steel knives in their hands.
In a motorcade, all of them were old men. Two women suddenly joined them, and the atmosphere suddenly changed subtly.
Originally, Zhang Shengli didn't want to have too many interactions with the other party, but the other party just got involved.
"Little brothers, you must be short of water, right? This is the water our team brought, share some with you.
Look at you two ladies, you can't let others suffer along with you, right?"
Zhang Shengli reached out and took the cowhide kettle, smiled bitterly, and thanked the other party.
He couldn't figure out how the other party could tell that they were short of water.
On such a hot day, the sun is high and the ground is almost smoking.
However, the faces of the three of them were still very rosy, so red that they were almost dripping with water.
On the other hand, the men in the motorcade all had chapped lips and several layers of skin peeled off.
When it comes to lack of water, it’s only because the other party is in need, right?
"Boy, if you're not used to sunbathing here, we have a tent over there. Would you like to go over and have a rest?"
Very enthusiastic, so enthusiastic that people can't accept it.
Mu Qing originally wanted to express his gratitude, but he heard Tang Li say: "No, it's good for us to be here."
"Okay, if it feels too hot, just say hello!"
The person left, but Mu Qing muttered quietly.
"Sister, they seem to be interested in you!"
Tang Li shook her head: "Don't talk nonsense. In a place like this, a group of grown men will show hospitality even if they meet a sow."
"But why are they all so ugly?"
Tang Li: "..."
This time she didn't refute, it wasn't that these people were ugly, it might have something to do with genes, or it might have something to do with living in this kind of place for a long time.
Year-round exposure to wind and sun will cause your skin to become dry and cracked. Even a handsome guy will change his appearance after living here for a while.
"I am a businessman, and I walk on this road all day without a woman, so I don't care about my image.
Okay, don’t think too much, do you want a drink of water?”
"I don't want to drink their water, their water doesn't taste good!" As she said this, she took out the spiritual water she had begged from Zhang Shengli and took a small sip.
Just one sip immediately made me feel refreshed on this hot day.
Fatigue disappears, you feel refreshed and you simply don’t feel too comfortable.
"Your man's water tastes better!"
This was a bit ambiguous, leaving Tang Li speechless.
At this moment, smoke and dust suddenly appeared in the distance, like a tornado, coming towards them.
"No, it's a horse thief!"
The team members responded very quickly.
Zhang Shengli was still in a daze, but the opponent had already made a defensive stance.
He seemed a little nervous and had no time to pay attention to Zhang Shengli and the others.
"Sister, what is a horse thief?"
Mu Qing was very curious and didn't look nervous at all.
In her opinion, with Zhang Shengli and Tang Li here, no matter what kind of thief the other party is, it is impossible to do anything to them.
"He's a robber, specializing in robbing people and caravans passing through here."
"Ah? This is like the hunting we have there."
"That's the same idea. You have to be careful. Maybe someone will see you as beautiful and take you back to be their wife."
When Mu Qing heard this, he burst into laughter.
"If I want to arrest you, I will arrest you, sister. What does it have to do with me? You are much prettier than me!"
The conversation between the two made Zhang Shengli smile bitterly.
"Okay, let's leave quickly. We're going to fight together. They don't care who we are. I don't want to do anything here yet."
With that said, he had already stood up and was about to leave with the two girls.
It was obvious that the other party had no intention of letting anyone go.
One by one, they rode war horses at very fast speeds, forming an encirclement in an instant, with the three of them surrounded in the middle.
"No one can be spared, the men will be killed and the women will be taken away!"
The leading horse thief was very loud.
As these people stopped, the surrounding smoke and dust dispersed, and these horse thieves also appeared.
There were as many as forty or fifty people.
For a team of so many people to rob a small caravan, it is almost a sure thing and there is no way it will fail.
However, Zhang Shengli guessed wrong.
There was actually a master in that caravan, who was very domineering in both his movements and the way he used the knife.
After just a few rounds, no fewer than four or five horse thieves died under his sword.
Seeing this, the leader of the horse thieves jumped up, also holding a steel knife, and started fighting with the master.
Looking at these people's moves and behaviors, Zhang Shengli suddenly became happy.
"Lily, we seem to have come to a world of martial arts!"
