Chapter 349: Such delicious free food was not eaten for nothing
The Shu Road is quiet during the day.
The Shu Road is treacherous at night.
Even the clear and melodious bird calls during the day now sound like the eerie laughter of ghosts from the underworld.
Yun Qin set up camp at the entrance of Mingyue Canyon, guarding the plank road at the rear.
After nightfall, the sound of the wind blowing through the sword-like walls of the canyon was like the wailing of hundreds of ghosts. Mo Liren and his men sat around the tent, lit a fire and grilled food.
"Da Rong's got a pretty good plan. He waited until all the people from the four nations ahead were dead, and then he showed up to show off his cleverness just as the knife was about to hit his neck. Why didn't he just write 'fear of death' on his forehead? Damn shame!" The rough, armored man sitting to Mo Liren's left looked disdainful. "Boss, we need to have someone keep an eye on Da Rong to prevent them from falling into their trap. After we cross the Golden Bull Road, we'll be next."
The meat in his hand sizzled with oil, emitting a burnt aroma. It was cooked. Mo Liren pinched a few grains of salt from the jar beside him and sprinkled it on, snorting. "Now that things have come to this, what else can he plan? He can only abandon the path and run away, allowing us to confront Su Jiuni more quickly. The plan of holding our troops for the time being has just been decided. If he runs away, no one can complain about it. Let's follow his example!"
The dozen or so people sitting around the fire laughed when they heard this, "Boss, are we running too?"
"Are you just waiting to die here instead of running? Whose life isn't? You all have parents, wives, and children to support at home, so be smart." After a pause, Mo Liren warned, "If you really run into Su Jiuni and her group, don't fight. I've thought about the fights on the road before. As long as we don't start a fight first—"
"She won't kill us?"
"They'll treat us like farts."
“…”
The rough man hesitated, "Boss, you can't be so sure. When they attacked Lingjiang and Shangbei, they even killed the people who were following them."
"It must be the people Lingjiang and Shangbei sent to spy on us because they don't like their looks." Mo Liren finished chewing the meat, threw the bare branch fork aside, and took out a handful of white cloth strips from his pocket, passing one to each of them. "When your life is at stake, raise the white flag! This is the only white undershirt I have, and I'll tear it all off and give it to you. If you don't get a share, just tear it off your own undershirt!"
The tribesmen holding the white cloths said, "..."
They knew that the boss's true face was shameless, but this was the first time they saw him thinking of surrendering before even meeting him.
…
On the other side.
On the hillside opposite Jinniu Road, a group of wanted criminals who were coming down the mountain made a fire and roasted rabbit meat.
All the seasonings are available and the air is filled with aroma.
The firelight couldn't cover it up at night, and the people in the opposite tent could see it at a glance, but there was no movement.
Little Wheat Ear told Bing'er, "They were scared to death."
Bing'er was convinced, "That must be the case. They don't even dare to send anyone to follow us!"
"It's my credit! I was the one who killed the stalker! He had to be brutal enough to terrify the enemy!" The ten-year-old girl praised herself without hesitation.
Su Wu sneered, his tone sarcastic, "Indeed, it is very brutal. I don't know if the news we want to spread will reach the ears of the four countries."
"You know shit! Do you think all the people from those four countries are really dead? They have more than one group of people following us! They can't harm us! You blockhead!"
The eight people in the group were either fighting or quarreling from morning till night. It was a common scene and everyone was no longer interested in it.
Su Wen leaned against Su An, pretending to be weak, and looked at the starry sky above with melancholy, "The most lonely thing in this world is to have no rivals."
"We are not brothers from the same group, so move away. I only have money in my eyes, and if you get too close, my coins will become pedantic and smell sour." Su An shook his shoulders, trying to shake the man off, but when he turned around, he was stabbed in the kidney by his younger brother.
Two fellow disciples started fighting next to him, so Bai Yu moved to another place and sat in a daze.
"Grandpa Du, if we want to revive someone who has just died, besides using the Heart Protecting Pill to protect the heart meridian, are there any other medicines that can bring the dead back to life? Besides the Great Resurrection Pill, the Nine-Turn Soul-Returning Pill, the Living Bones Pill, the Impermanence Powder, and the Wrath of the King of Hell." The girl's cold voice floated low into his ears.
After a while, the old man replied, "Baby, that's a good question! I'll tell you when I figure it out!"
“…”
“…”
Bai Yu laughed out loud, without turning his head, the image of the young girl and the old man looking at each other with wooden faces automatically appeared in his mind.
He leaned against the tree trunk behind him, bent his knees and supported his chin, looking lazily over there. The scene was just as he had imagined.
When the old and the young are together, the girl's face still doesn't show much expression, but she looks particularly lively.
She will be less indifferent and cold, and even if she is not smiling, her eyes and eyebrows will be soft.
As Bai Yu watched, the smile on his face faded.
They had already walked through four Shu roads, crossed plank roads and climbed ladders to heaven, and had not missed any mountain along the way. They had searched every place they could find while playing and joking.
But I have never seen anything related to cocoons or silkworms.
Everyone was actually starting to get anxious, but because Tianbao was there, no one showed it.
While he was lost in thought, Du Buqin jumped up, pointing at the tent and cursing loudly, incredulous. "What are those bastards doing? Tianbao, come and help me see if I'm seeing things. Why are those bastards running off in the middle of the night?!"
Those who were arguing and fighting stopped and turned to look at the opposite tent.
The lights that had been on in the tent went out.
But today is the middle of the month, and the moon hanging in the sky is as big, round and bright as a silver plate.
The shadowy figure in front of the tent was outlined.
Those people formed a line and evacuated quickly in another direction under the cover of night, their movements being neat and orderly.
Su An twitched his lips, "Grandpa Du, you are not dazzled, those grandchildren did run away overnight."
Su Wen held his forehead. "We're just lighting a fire here, and they're judging us by our own standards. Do they think we'll be as incompetent as they are in launching a night attack?"
Su Wu sighed, "I should have killed them first and then come back to eat! What a pity!"
"Not a pity," Tian Bao glanced around, "it's just what we want."
In this way, they can smoothly explore the territory without fighting.
In the end, the remaining people on the other side were all her fishing hooks, which she threw to various countries to hook the big fish behind them one by one.
"This is the Darong camp. Darong, with its status among the nations, would never resort to such a mockery as to flee without a fight. It seems they've reached an agreement and changed their tactics." Bai Yu walked forward slowly, looking at the empty tents opposite, and waved his hand, "Let's go, let's stay in the tents tonight!"
The old man suddenly understood and was furious. "That's right, why didn't we steal their tents before? They came here to camp and wait for us to come. They must have prepared everything, including food, clothing and shelter! We were so stupid before! We didn't get to eat such delicious free food! Grandpa has been sleeping in the open for more than a month. Those who live in tents are sinners!"
The little ones, "..."
"Hahahaha! Grandpa Du, let's go over there and take over the magpie's nest!"
