Chapter 13: Thunder Method of the Underworld Regardless of what Uncle He Qi did...
Regardless of how Uncle He Qi discussed the matter with the village elders, Ye Lu clearly felt that the villagers' attitude towards him had changed.
The first to change were the two magicians. Magician He was better, still very steady, but Magician Shi was even more exaggerated, and his already smiling expression became even gentler, which made Ye Lu and Ghost Scholar speechless.
He Qi looked normal, and was in a good mood to comfort them: "It's normal. Magicians also need strange food to practice. The reason why the stone magician came to our village was because of the green millet offering. Your laurel tree has a bright future. If he wants to exchange it for laurel seeds in the future, he must be more polite."
"It's fine if you want to change. The stone mage has a good background and has a lot of good things in his hands." Later, He Qi pulled Ye Lu to a corner and whispered advice.
These are what everyone talked about every time the caravan stopped, during dinner, hunting, and conversation. Everyone still slept inside the carriages because it was too dangerous and weird outside. Runes were carved with putty all around the carriages to prevent weird things from rushing in and attacking. Even so, the guards were divided into three groups to take turns on night watch.
In addition, the treatment of Ximingren was different from theirs, and he got more meat.
In fact, the Ximing people do prefer those dried meats, and they will eat one whenever they have time. At first, Ye Lu and the ghost scholar were worried that the Ximing people would have problems if they ate them blindly. This is a lesson learned from a previous experience. The Ximing people once knew that the food was problematic, but just because they were curious about whether they would die after eating it, they ate a lot and almost killed themselves.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar asked once. Ye Lu was in charge of asking, while the ghost scholar was in charge of thinking. The playboy blinked his eyes and looked at his master. In the end, he was still shocked by the threat of "If you dare to lie, I will plant you in the field". He answered honestly: "I just want to eat it. It's delicious. I feel very comfortable after eating it."
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar looked at it for a long time and found that it was indeed no problem for him. The strength of Xi Mingren was indeed increasing slowly, and they understood that the dried meat was good for him.
On the third day, Xi Mingren woke up.
Today, the ghost scholar is in charge of driving.
As soon as Ye Lu opened his eyes, he saw a grinning man not far away in the carriage. The latter still had the same smiling face, but Ye Lu could tell that this time it was a smile from the heart.
"What's wrong?" Ye Lu leaned against the carriage. The ox cart was moving forward slowly, neither fast nor slow. He asked lazily.
"I have awakened my skills."
Ye Lu turned his head to look at Xi Mingren and raised his eyebrows.
"Underground thunder method." Xi Mingren said.
Ye Lu was a little confused when he heard the name, which was a bit strange. He looked up at Xi Mingren and tried to ask the owner of the technique what the name of this technique meant.
“I don’t know either.” The playful man spread his hands, tilted his head, and seemed to understand Ye Lu’s question, and spoke first.
"But I know--" Xi Mingren stretched out his hand. There was a beating light in his palm, and the lightning flashed, reflecting the expression of Ye Lu opposite him. Xi Mingren whispered: "Very strong, stronger than what I cultivated in the Star Network."
"The only problem is that I really need strange power to practice my skills."
Ye Lu could clearly sense the power in the lightning. He stared at it straight in the eyes. This lightning met the strange human head they had seen before. With the power in the lightning and the skills of Ximingren, he was confident that Ximingren could easily kill the strange human head.
Xi Mingren has just awakened his martial arts skills.
"Do you want to join the guard team?" Ye Lu understood the implication of the playful man's words.
The playful man nodded and said, "I asked the people in the guard team. The dried meat we eat is all from the strange beasts that the guard team specially hunts. Most of them are prepared when we were in the village. These strange beasts are more stupid than the strange ones. A few of them are edible. The only requirement is to join the guard team to have the opportunity to hunt."
"Master Dao, I want to go."
"Are you sure?" A calm voice came from outside the carriage. It was the ghost scholar who had been on the road all the way. He had listened from the beginning to now. He said, "It's not a spur of the moment?"
"In addition to meat, I also need weapons, and only the guards have these." The playful man puffed up his cheeks. Fortunately, he was such a tall man, and he looked deep and handsome enough, so it didn't look out of place for him to do such a childish action. On the contrary, it was actually a bit cute.
"..." Ye Lu rubbed his forehead. This bastard boy, now that he has good talent, he wants to fight again.
There was silence outside the carriage as well, and it was obvious that the ghost scholar had understood as well.
"Where is the Taoist priest?" The ghost scholar hesitated for a moment and asked the person who made the most decisions in the team. It would be better to say that his attitude was already expressed when he asked this question.
The playful man turned his head and looked over eagerly.
Indeed, the only advantage of the Hipster is that he can make weapons himself. It depends on how he plans to do it. Intuition tells Ye Lu that the weapons made by the Hipster may be bloody, and most of the materials may come from strange things. But can he really prevent the Hipster from going out?
Ye Lu looked at the playful man in silence.
Ye Lu thought back to the situation of the guard team. Strictly speaking, Ye Lu was not unfamiliar with it. His uncle and his aunt both held important positions in the guard team. Uncle He Si and Aunt He Lan, the latter was even the captain of the guard team. Giving dried meat to Xi Ming people was obviously a way of making friends.
They also need to have a certain say in the village.
Ye Lu also thought of another reason why the Ghost Scholar acquiesced. Now the three of them were considered newly awakened talents. They had little say in the village and could not participate in important decisions. This was somewhat fatal, especially for someone like the Ghost Scholar who had a strong desire for control.
When the Ximing people join the guard team, it is a signal sent by their small family to the village that they have officially started working and have become adults who can take on responsibilities.
Both are crucial.
"Go if you want to go!" Ye Lu rubbed his sore solar plexus, sighed, and said helplessly.
The corners of the hipster's mouth are very curved, and it is obvious that he is very happy.
The happy Xi Mingren ran out of the carriage and took over the driving from the Ghost Scholar. If he went to the guard team later, the driving task would have to be shared by Ye Lu and the Ghost Scholar. The burden on the two brothers would undoubtedly become much greater. Of course, there were also benefits. For example, if Xi Mingren went to the guard team, he could also bring meat home from the guard team regularly.
The convoy would occasionally stop to make fire and cook.
Of course, Ye Lu and the other two had also seen how other villagers with bodyguards lived. Dalang from the Huang family next door was in the guard team. He was the guard who loudly reminded Ye Lu and the others to be careful and not to think too much or listen to nonsense that day. He would occasionally bring back fresh meat.
The fresh meat was still bloody, but there was no bleeding. At first glance, it looked like meat from a hind leg, and it had gray-black scales on it.
Ye Lu and the other two were given a few small pieces. The taste and texture were average. They were very old and a little hard to chew. The only advantage was that they provided enough strange power, which could speed up the recovery of the power after eating.
The food they had when they fled the famine this time was much less than that of other families in the village, and there were three of them to eat, so it was a good idea to order someone to bring back meat.
Ye Lu ate the pancake slowly. This pancake was made by the ghost scholar learning from Aunt Huang next door. A little white millet was mixed into ordinary cornmeal. It was strong and filling. According to Aunt Huang, her son Dalang would not feel hungry all day if he ate this pancake.
Ye Lu tried it and found it was indeed good.
However, the speed at which food was decreasing was only slowing down, and it was still slowly decreasing. Ye Lu sat down cross-legged, frowning slowly, thinking. He was not willing to ask outsiders for food. Originally, his family had enough food, but it was not enough because of the arrival of the three of them. Since he had agreed, Ye Lu was not willing to go back on his word and let others help.
Besides, it is a period of famine and everyone has little food.
"Thinking about food again?" As soon as the ghost scholar entered the carriage, he looked up and saw what Ye Lu was thinking. He instantly understood his thoughts. After all, the ration tank was visible. Water was fine. Uncle He Qi took into consideration the three people and brought a lot of water.
"Yeah." Ye Lu leaned his head against the carriage behind him, closed his eyes and said, "It's a pity that I can't go out hunting or find food."
"It's definitely not possible during this period." The ghost scholar was more open-minded. He sat down cross-legged, propped up his chin with one hand, and said: "Ah Xi is still under stress, otherwise he wouldn't be looking for weapons to fight. He is protecting himself. We are not far away from danger yet. The food can wait until we escape."
"What about you? How is your training?" Ye Lu nodded, agreeing with the ghost scholar's suggestion. At the same time, he asked about the latter's progress. He was naturally worried because the danger was still there.
Among the three, Ye Lu and Xi Mingren were both worried about the Ghost Scholar's practice. Xi Mingren chose to practice hard to fight and then protect his brothers, while Ye Lu asked directly. On the contrary, the Ghost Scholar, the person involved, was much calmer, with a kind of "lazy" feeling that was not afraid of death.
The ghost scholar smiled and said, "It will be soon."
"Don't worry, didn't you ask Uncle He Qi if my speed of cultivation is normal?" He was still in the mood to comfort Ye Lu.
Ye Lu showed a very impolite expression, he was annoyed when he saw the ghost scholar like this, but he couldn't beat him. After settling down completely, he would stuff this brat into the ground sooner or later, Ye Lu swore secretly in his heart.
The two brothers finished the discussion secretly.
The next day, Ye Lu took Xi Mingren to the guard team and personally handed him over to Helan, who had been waiting for a long time in the leading carriage. When Helan saw the lightning in the palm of Xi Mingren's hand, he grinned happily. Not only that, Helan also looked up and asked Ye Lu about his choice.
"Lu Wazi, do you want to join the guard team? Apart from being unsafe, the guard team also has a lot of good things." After all, it is a military team that protects the village. Not only do they have a certain status in the village, but they can also find things when they go out. If they were not so easy to die, the guard team would definitely have more people.
"Although your talent is in the secondary area, I always feel that you should be more than just a secondary area. Your mother was quite good back then." When Helan said this, she raised her hand to touch her chin and looked Ye Lu up and down. Hey, you have to say, Lu's appearance does not look ordinary. This is the first time she has seen such a good-looking guy in all these years.
His father was already good-looking, but Lu Wazi is even more handsome than his father.
The young man with black hair and white skin has a very outstanding appearance, he is dignified and calm, his temperament is also extraordinary, he is filled with mysterious power, and he has a calm temperament. If you look closely, you can see that there is a vitality contained in his tumbling aura.
