Chapter 103: Lianfeng Town
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
Lu Jiu's request for leave from the newspaper office has no more waves except for the editor-in-chief frowning and reminding him, after all, he is just an ordinary interviewer in the eyes of most people.
According to the request of the heteropupil cat, Lu Jiu embarked on the journey early.
As I said before, due to the particularity of the region, there is no train passing through the Lianfeng Mountains, so Lu Jiu can only go to the nearest station to the Lianfeng Mountains through Qingdingcheng Station, and then rent a carriage from the local area to go to the only town outside the Lianfeng Mountains - Lianfeng Town!
"Just park right here. ”
Looking through the car window, seeing the outline of Lianfeng Town that was already clearly visible in the distance, Lu Jiu opened his mouth to stop the carriage.
"Guest officer, you're about to arrive in Lianfeng Town, are you sure to get off here?"
The coachman looked back at Lu Jiu, who had come out of the carriage with some surprise.
"There are 20 silver dollars here, I want your car and your clothes, don't worry, you will go to Lianfeng Town to pick up the car in five days." ”
put the gold leaf in the coachman's hand, and seeing that he didn't react, he said in a deep voice,
"Take it off!"
Don't get me wrong, Lu Jiu didn't suddenly see through Hongchen and wanted to return to a dull life, this was a plan he had already thought of, this Lianfeng Town, he really couldn't go in casually!
Although the coachman suspected that Lu Jiu's brain might have a problem, he was piled up in front of him, and if he didn't take it, it would be a problem with his brain, so after realizing that Lu Jiu was not joking, he immediately began to pull the clothes on his body.
......
The pack horses in the carriage shop are invariably highly trained, docile, and know the road themselves, so even if the driver is different, the carriage will still run smoothly.
Lu Jiu drove the carriage into Lianfeng Town, pressed the eaves of the hat, waved the whip twice from time to time, and kept patrolling around.
In a mountain town like this, not to mention gas lamps, there are not even the most primitive torch street lamps on the streets, and the various buildings are old and old in terms of scale and design style.
However, unexpectedly, this supposedly desolate town is now very lively!
Lu Jiu has seen no less than 3 steam locomotives similar to the Qinglan Demon Hunters along the way, and both the volume and the external decoration are obviously more luxurious than the cars of the Qinglan Demon Hunters.
There is no doubt that this is the high-level demon hunting team that has never returned when the Demon Hunting Association has an accident before.
In addition, Lu Jiu can also see that there are many "tourists" on the street who are carrying weapons or firearms, and they are also neatly dressed, most of them are gathered in groups of three or five, looking around at the situation of the rest of the team, occasionally there are closer, Lu Jiu can see their lips moving, but their voices are very low.
When he arrived at the only inn in Lianfeng Town, Lu Jiu saw two more vehicles carrying the imperial court emblem, and looked into the lobby of the inn, where there were more than a dozen officials dressed in the uniforms of the Jingye Division.
"It's all here......"
Lu Jiu originally wanted to find a place to rest in the inn and eat something by the way, but now this situation is obviously not the time to stay, he doesn't want to disguise himself with an identity that he is not very familiar with in front of a dozen Jing Anwei.
After going around and around, I stopped the carriage in front of a wonton stall in the town and found a place to take a seat.
"You asked me to wait in Lianfeng Town, what are you waiting for?"
Looking at the heteropupil cat squatting in the carriage, Lu Jiu asked in a low voice.
Unlike the previous time and appearance in Qingding City, after entering Lianfeng Town, the heteropupil cat never left Lu Jiu, which made the latter realize that the next step should be the main event.
Fortunately, I wasn't there two days ago, otherwise it would have been really hard for my news to get out......
"Wait for the people around you to move, and then follow them. ”
The answer was as vague as ever.
"Guest, your big bowl of ravioli. ”
"Hmm...... Boss, how can so many people pop up in Lianfeng Town recently, I have never seen them when I came here before. ”
Taking a sip of soup, Lu Jiu turned his attention to the stall owner in front of him.
"I heard that there is something precious in the Lianfeng Mountain Range...... Everyone said that in the past, we had some strange people in the mountains, but there were never as many as this. ”
Wiping the table next to him, Xu saw that Lu Jiu's identity was a coachman, and the stall owner spoke a lot more casually.
"But it's definitely a good thing for those of us who do a small business, you should know, there have been more people coming and going lately, and the carriage dealer's business is also easy to do, right?"
"Well, the price has risen a lot recently. ”
Lu Jiu responded with a smile, and was about to continue asking, but his eyes were fixed, and he immediately stood up involuntarily.
I saw that a large number of birds suddenly rose in the mountains in the distance, and there were even a few unusually large existences among them, and at a glance they knew that they should be the ones who had stepped into the ranks of demon beasts, but even they were forced into the sky.
Roar!!!
In the next second, a roar sounded from the distant forest, Rao is quite far away, and Lu Jiu was already shocked by this roar and had goosebumps all over his body.
The dense jungle toppled in a sway, and earthy smoke rose beneath the birds......
"There it is!"
The voice of the alien pupil cat sounded in Lu Jiu's mind, and before the latter could react to what had appeared, the sudden noise nearby attracted all his attention.
The demon hunters called out to their teammates and ran to the steam locomotives lining the street, and after a short start, they rushed out of the swirling white steam and headed straight for the direction from which the sound came.
The people in the rivers and lakes who were still gathered together in groups were even more bored and rushed out, not only on the side of the street, but also in several houses There were also people who climbed out of the windows, and after landing on the ground, they rolled forward and unloaded, regardless of the dust on their bodies, and rushed away.
At the door of the inn that I passed by just now, the assembly of Jing Anwei and everyone was much more orderly, but judging from the performance of those leaders when they spoke loudly, they were probably anxious.
It didn't take long for even them to get into the car in a hurry, obviously preparing to enter the Lianfeng Mountain Range.
"Guest officer, let's leave Lianfeng Town as soon as we finish eating, I estimate that something is going to happen to this realm......"
The stall owner, who watched all this happening, sorted out his utensils in a little panic and said in a muffled voice.
"Well, I'm leaving!"
He ate two wontons and turned around to unload his saddle.
I thought I was going to squat here for a few days, but I didn't expect that something happened as soon as I entered the town, and Lu Jiu understood the meaning of the heteropupil cat at this time.
Raising the whip and slamming it on the horse's buttocks, he chased the crowd away.
Success or failure depends on this one!
