Volume 1 A Small Town Boy Chapter 34 Preparing to Go
In the early hours of the morning, the sky was a little overcast, as if it was going to rain.
"Xiaochen, it's time to go. Liang Hanshuo shouted outside the door.
Squeak.
The door opened, Ling Chen walked out slowly, and then gently closed and locked.
"Everything is packed up, right?" Liang Hanshuo asked.
"Hmm. Ling Chen just answered.
"It's going to rain......" Ling Chen glanced up at the sky, then withdrew his gaze.
"Let's go, it's just been out for more than a month, there's nothing to be reluctant to. Liang Hanshuo patted Ling Chen's shoulder and encouraged.
As you walk out of the gate, the view of the courtyard gradually narrows. The tea set under the tree is still lying there quietly.
I usually don't feel anything, but when I actually leave, my heart is mixed.
"Aunt Zhang, this is the key, please take care of the house. Liang Hanshuo handed the key to the door to a woman next door.
"Little Shimmer, you must be careful. It doesn't hurt to have a little heart in everything. The woman admonished.
"I know Aunt Zhang. Liang Hanshuo nodded, with a teachable expression.
"Xiaochen, go out with your eldest brother this time, listen to him more. If he dares to bully you, tell your aunt that he has no good fruit to eat!" the woman said to Ling Chen again.
"Got it, thank you, Aunt Zhang. Ling Chen smiled slightly.
Aunt Zhang next door grew up watching Liang Hanshuo and Ling Chen. Poor Ling Tianze's family is full of men, and none of them are in the house, so they usually take care of them quite a bit.
"It's cold now, so remember to wear more. You have to eat at any time, don't always make do with it......"
"Got it, got it. If you say anything else, I won't be able to catch up. Liang Hanshuo smiled bitterly and interrupted the woman's chatter.
said hello and left with Ling Chen.
"Be careful on the road!"
In short, all this is very happy in Ling Chen's opinion.
It's still the entrance of the town, and although it's early in the morning, there are already a lot of people there. It's always like it's always been so lively.
"Boss, you're late. Shi Han smiled.
"You know, the boss has always been cautious. There's a reason for being late!" The monkey scrambled on the sidelines.
"Boss, when will you take us for a while?" As soon as he turned his face, the monkey changed his face to a beautiful expression, with a flattering face.
"What are you doing? The fat man Zhou Hong came out to fight and reprimanded the two.
"Ahem...... Remember to call me next time. Passing by Liang Hanshuo's side, Zhou Hong lowered his voice and whispered.
"Men don't have a good thing. Yu Yan was still indifferent, holding a three-foot Qingfeng around her chest.
"Uh......" A group of men were speechless.
"By the way, Boss, I heard that you went to the big competition on behalf of the academy?" Shi asked very honestly.
"Hey, I really envy you young people......," Zhou Hong sighed on the side.
"Yes, our eldest is only twenty-one years old this year. Think about it, it's still a handsome little guy. In the future, when we achieve great achievements, we are afraid that we will not be able to look at it. Doll teased.
"Hahahaha!" A group of people laughed, even Ling Chen smiled, and it was rare to see the eldest brother deflated.
"Well, quiet. Liang Hanshuo waved his hand helplessly and motioned for them to stop.
"Now, welcome our temporary member: Ling Chen. As he spoke, Liang Hanshuo stepped out of his back.
"Boss, why are you dragging your brother up, do you want to take him through the experience?" Daqing was puzzled.
"This time you said that the task is very challenging, is it really okay to bring this little brother?" Uncle Li also frowned.
"My brother is a sealer. Liang Hanshuo smiled, quite smug. That pride, as if he was talking about himself.
Everyone else was quite surprised.
"I didn't hear you say that last time. Qianfan was also surprised.
"Well, as long as it's a sealer, it's worth protecting. Uncle Li nodded.
"He has a certain ability to protect himself. Practicing Qi martial arts cultivation and Hun Yuan seal cultivation. Liang Hanshuo said again.
"Little brother is good. Tell my sister how old she is?" Duo'er came to Ling Chen's side, stretched out a finger, and poked towards Ling Chen's chin.
Ling Chen flashed behind Liang Hanshuo without a trace the moment she came, avoiding her teasing.
"Duo'er......" Liang Hanshuo's face darkened. It's his younger brother anyway, and the team members don't even save a little face for themselves.
"Ouch, I'm sorry!" Duo'er smiled with a wave of her hand.
"Ahem...... Everyone is here, right?" Liang Hanshuo coughed and asked seriously.
"It's all there. Seeing this, the other eleven people stopped joking and replied seriously.
"Good. This time, we are going to Dingling County in the Tanglin Domain, and the details of the mission will be discussed on the way to the road. The itinerary is ten days. Check the equipment supply again!" Liang Hanshuo said with a wave of his hand.
When everyone heard this, they all opened the Qiankun bag and made a fuss.
"No problem!"
"No problem!"
......
A succession of voices sounded, causing everyone in the post station to look sideways. Someone else is on a mission.
"Good. Prepare the horse!" Liang Hanshuo said loudly. The momentum is quite exciting.
"Neigh~!" In the stable, more than a dozen horses roared loudly, as if they knew that their master was about to travel, and they did not have to be tied to the stable.
The group turned over and got on the horse, but Ling Chen did not move.
Of course, Liang Hanshuo knew why. He said loudly: "Old Qi, take a few good horses out." ”
"Okay, wait a minute. Hearing the sound, a gray-clothed man who was nearly half a hundred years old came out, looking old.
Then a few big men with bowed backs led out a few horses, with beautiful curves, strong muscles, and quite sufficient qi and blood.
"Yes, they're all good horses. Liang Hanshuo looked at it and nodded again and again.
"Xiaochen, come and see. Which one do you like?"
"Let's do this. Ling Chen's eyes swept over, and his eyes stayed on a sturdy horse with a slightly short body and cyan skin all over his body.
"The boy has a good eye, this is a hybrid half-demon beast - Splitting Wind Pony. It runs as fast as the wind, but it is also wild. If it's your first test drive, I'd like to give it a lot of thought. "The man known as Lao Qi made a pertinent suggestion.
Liang Hanshuo glanced at Ling Chen.
"It's okay, that's it. How many spirit stones?"
"It's not the first time. Lao Qi glanced at Liang Hanshuo speechlessly.
"Thank you very much. Xiaochen, thank you Uncle Qi yet. As he spoke, Liang Hanshuo threw Lao Qi a cloth bag.
"Thank you, Uncle Qi. Ling Chen clenched his fists.
"Hehe, it's good for young people to be polite. Lao Qi said with a smile. The wrinkles on his face are like the bark of an old tree.
"Okay, get on the horse, let's go. Liang Hanshuo shouted, and more than ten people immediately turned over and got on their horses.
Ling Chen also stepped up and sat steadily on the saddle.
"Hiss~!"
The cyan steed was very resistant, and immediately went wild. Standing with his legs upright, he wanted to throw Ling Chen off the horse. And Ling Chen is quite calm and methodical. Hold on tightly to the reins and wrestle with the horse.
"Hiss~!"
The horses circled in place and moved in all directions.
"This beast is not easy to tame. Zhou Hong said to Liang Hanshuo on the side.
They all just watched quietly and did not help. They all said that it was an experience, and besides, they also wanted to see the excitement.
This horse is quite stubborn, and has been resisting, not giving Ling Chen the slightest respite. I feel like I want to fight to the death with Ling Chen.
The time for a cup of tea has passed, and no one will let anyone with one person or one horse. And the spectators on the side have lost much patience.
"This foal is indeed wild enough, and it stands to reason that ordinary half-demon beasts have already succeeded. Zhou Hong commented on the side.
"Boss, it's not too early, and if you delay any longer, you really can't catch up. Pinggui came to Liang Hanshuo and whispered.
He admires Ling Chen very much, and he is already a Hun Yuan seal cultivator at a young age. He also has both a seal cultivator and a martial artist, and this kind of multi-faceted development of talents is indeed rare. Of course, there is another reason, he used to be the only one in the entire team, but now there are two.
"It's not a good day, and if you don't say it's good, you will change your face at any time. Late will change. Uncle Li also nodded in agreement.
In the team, it is necessary to have a jack of all trades, and Uncle Li is this important role in the team.
Liang Hanshuo groaned, and suddenly asked, "Old Qi, are there any tamed foals?" ”
Lao Qi shook his head.
"No, I was taken away by the caravan two days ago. You also know that the tamed foal is too weak to be frightened in the slightest, and is not suitable for you. ”
The foals on duty have their own owners, and the inn also has a place to foster and care for the horses while providing rest. Normally tamed horses are only suitable for ordinary people to act as foot force, and the inn will not provide taming services for wild horses. Even if others are willing, horses may not be willing.
"Wait a little longer......" Liang Hanshuo exhaled, slowly closed his eyes, and said in a deep voice.
"Big brother, you go first, and I'll catch up later. Ling Chen also knew that he had delayed too much time, but the beast under his crotch was stubborn, so he could only take his time.
"The next post station is more than 30 miles away from here, and there is basically no danger on the road. In this case, you go first, and I'll wait for this kid. Zhou Hong proposed.
The sky was getting darker and darker, and it felt overwhelming. Liang Hanshuo was not a hesitant person, and waved his hand.
"Let's go!"
"Open the door!"
Inside the door, someone gave an order.
Squeaky ...... The gate slowly opened a crack, revealing a deep ravine outside, filled with river water.
"Drop-down lock!"
A log suspension bridge is slowly lowered, and one after another steel cables are wound around it, which is quite strong and strong.
Before the suspension bridge landed, Liang Hanshuo gave an order.
"Drive!"
More than a dozen people waved their whips, and the horses neighed. Draw a perfect arc in the air, and the moment you land, it will be gone.
"Up!"
Seven or eight strong men pulled the drawbridge up again and closed the door again.
"Boy, don't rush now, take your time. Zhou Hong said a word, and then got off the horse and drank tea. Naturally, the horses are taken care of.
Ling Chen didn't have time to pay attention to him at this time.
"This eldest brother, borrow the horsewhip from the younger brother!" Ling Chen said to the strong man who was leading the horse before while resisting the horse.
As soon as the strong man threw it with one hand, the horsewhip fell firmly into Ling Chen's hand.
"You beast, toast and don't eat and drink. Ling Chen's heart was horizontal, and the horsewhip was waved, and it was heavily whipped on the horse's chin.
"Smack!"
The loud sound was transmitted in the post pipe, which made people can't help but shake their eyebrows.
It didn't have the desired effect, and the horse seemed to be even more annoyed. Running around like crazy, jumping. For a while, it was just chickens and dogs, so lively.
It drew a round of applause from those who watched the trick.
There is a first step in life, and how to step out is your own choice, and you can only rely on yourself. It's not that they're callous, it's that they understand it deeply.
Sometimes helping others doesn't necessarily help, but rather harms others.
