Nothing happened all night and it was early morning.
Thin mist filled the mountains and fields, the sun slowly rose, shining on the earth, driving away the demons and monsters, and everyone in the caravan woke up.
Zhang Youcai was the first to get up and boiled a large pot of water early for washing his face and drinking.
In the barren mountains, no one dares to drink raw water. Even the roughest man will pour a bowl of steaming boiling water and drink it while blowing on it.
Suddenly.
A hare jumped out. It seemed that it was frightened. It hit the carriage, kicked off its legs, and died.
"Hey, hare."
Zhang Youcai stepped forward quickly, quickly lifted up the rabbit ears, hid them in his clothes, and smiled secretly.
then.
He pulled Li Jun and whispered.
"There is no meat to eat during this period, and my mouth is like a bird. I will stew it secretly later, and we will eat meat secretly."
"Shhh, don't make a sound. There's not enough rabbit meat for everyone to share." Zhang Youcai reminded him in particular.
Zhang Youcai is selfish, likes to take advantage of others, and is a bit clever, but he treats Li Jun well.
Li Jun was a little touched. After traveling to another world for so many days, Zhang Youcai was the first person who was really nice to him.
Not counting Bai Xiuzhu, Bai Xiuzhu was no longer alive at that time, and her kindness to Li Jun was just to trick him into boarding the ship.
Facing Zhang Youcai's thief-like smile, Li Jun pursed his lips and refused to smile.
He doesn't want others to be too nice to him. In a world full of ghosts and monsters, Li Jun just wants to be alone and doesn't want to be tied down by too many human ties.
"OK."
Li Jun agreed lightly.
Zhang Youcai secretly washed and skinned the wild rabbit, wrapped it tightly in broad leaves, covered it with a layer of mud, and buried it quietly in the fire.
The caravan will rest for about an hour, which is enough time for it to be cooked.
Li Jun watched Zhang Youcai doing his work, and his mind was always tense. He secretly observed the surrounding environment with his peripheral vision and counted the seconds in his head.
because.
That thing hasn't left yet.
The dog stuck out its tongue and stayed in Li Jun's arms, playing with the branches and pretending to be more like a dog than a dog.
There are shallow footprints in the field next to it. Judging from the number, there seems to be a group of something?
Naturally, ordinary people's eyes cannot see these footprints, but Li Jun drank Qilin's blood and observed things carefully before he could detect them.
Why haven't they taken action yet?
Li Jun raised his head and looked at the Hebo Banner. Under the sun, the Hebo Banner looked particularly eye-catching.
Li Jun thought to himself: Could it be that he was afraid of He Bo's reputation? He was afraid that by eating us, he would offend He Bo?
wrong.
Li Jun shook his head again. If it was just because they were afraid of He Bo, they would not stay overnight and would not leave even in broad daylight.
The ghost did not take action, so Li Jun could only wait and see what happened. Everyone had breakfast noisily, unfurled flags to clear the way, and drove the carriage onto the official road.
The refugee mother and daughter were not qualified to ride in the carriage, so they could only follow the crowd barefooted. Their feet were worn out and they looked very pitiful.
Wang Meiniang looked haggard and had no trace of beauty. The little girl was crying and moving slowly.
"Mom, hold my daughter, she's hungry and can't walk." The little girl was too young and had not yet reached the age of understanding, so she pestered her mother to hug her.
But.
Wang Meiniang didn't have breakfast, and the gang didn't even give her water to drink. She was still walking barefoot. She was already weak.
Wang Meiniang opened her mouth, but in the end she didn't say a word. She picked up the little girl with difficulty and hobbled forward.
"Sister Wang, come and sit here!"
Li Jun finally couldn't bear it anymore and asked Wang Meiniang to get into his car. His car was a utility vehicle and was specially used by caravans for guests.
This caravan mainly sells souvenirs, and it is just a way to bring customers. Li Jun paid very little, so naturally he will not get a good car.
"Oh, I didn't realize that my little brother is still a caring man. It's a pity, this is our caravan, not a place for you to care about your beauty."
A strange and sinister voice came.
The speaker's name is Diao Deyang, who is riding a horse. He is a steward of the caravan, and his status is second only to the boss.
When Li Jun was about to speak, Zhang Youcai quickly stopped him and signaled Li Jun to shut up.
Zhang Youcai smiled and said: "My little brother's wife ran away with someone, so when he sees a woman, he gets confused. Don't mind!"
Diao Deyang snorted coldly.
"Lao Zhang, since when did you become brothers with this little brother? Okay, you are pretty good at making friends!"
"hehe."
Zhang Youcai rubbed his head naively.
He suddenly looked at Wang Meiniang and her daughter, shook his head and said, "Huh? I think this refugee mother and daughter are almost exhausted. Tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk, tsk tsk, I don't know if the immortal master still wants the flesh of a dead person?"
Diao Deyang's expression changed, and he stared at Wang Meiniang and her daughter for a long time, and finally...
"Okay, let them get in the car!"
"But little brother, don't have any evil thoughts. If you soil the items being offered, your life will be at risk."
At the end, Diao Deyang smiled mysteriously.
He said condescendingly: "This world is not peaceful. The lives of ordinary people like you are worse than ants. I'd better be honest and don't cause trouble."
"Old Zhang, take good care of this little brother."
"Yes, yes." Zhang Youcai nodded and agreed.
Zhang Youcai was much older than Diao Deyang, but when facing Diao Deyang, he was still hunched over, with a humble face, and kept his posture very low.
He was just a cook in the caravan and had no status. Diao Deyang was in charge and could fire him at any time.
finally.
Wang Meiniang and her daughter got into the utility vehicle.
"Thank you, little brother, you are a good person."
Wang Meiniang smiled tiredly.
"Big brother is so nice. Nanny likes big brother." The little girl threw herself into Li Jun's arms and rubbed her face against Li Jun's clothes.
Li Jun smiled bitterly. He had always been unable to handle children, but the feeling of holding the little girl in his arms was very real.
Is she supposed to be human?
If it were not a human being, which powerful ghost would play this kind of game of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger with a mortal?
"Nanny, be good." Li Jun touched the little girl's head and took out a hare leg.
The hare is stewed to a pulp and exudes an attractive aroma. Li Jun has wrapped it in fresh leaves, so you can eat it directly in your hand.
The little girl took the hare leg with a bright smile, her mouth was full of oil and her little face was dirty.
I don’t know how to be sad when I’m young!
Li Jun no longer paid attention to Wang Meiniang and her daughter. The official road was long and stretched to an invisible place in the distance, and the mountains and forests on both sides kept retreating.
Time passes slowly.
wrong!!!
Li Jun suddenly woke up. The caravan had been repeating the same path as before.
…
Ancient plains, desolate.
The afterglow of the setting sun shone down, and the entire ancient plain seemed to be covered with a layer of blood-colored halo, which was extremely magnificent.
A majestic figure stood proudly.
The black cloak rustled.
"Why don't you take action yet?" The voice of the stalwart figure was extremely cold, and the killing intent was palpable.
He was so frightened that a slightly thin man behind him shivered. The man looked at the stalwart figure in awe and fear.
"My lord, forgive me. There is an immortal master in that caravan. We can't figure out the details and dare not act rashly."
"Really!"
The stalwart figure turned around slowly and smiled faintly: "General Xu, you lied. Do you believe this reason?"
