Chapter 153: The Stronghold (Part II)
The street where Gu Lei set up his stall is to the east of this village, and this side is basically the activity area of the martial artists of the unity realm and the soul condensing realm.
On the other hand, the area to the west of the village is the activity area of some weak forces, idle low-level martial artists, and even ordinary martial artists who have not awakened their martial spirits.
The flow of people to the west is obviously greater, and the strength of the warriors is even more uneven.
In one corner, there is a stall specializing in noodles, and the owner is an old man in his sixties, and a teenager of thirteen or fourteen years old.
The old man and the young man are a pair of grandchildren, and both of them are ordinary people who have not awakened their martial spirits. However, the old man's body was quite strong, and he was obviously a master of martial arts among ordinary people, and the young man had obviously also practiced martial arts, and his skin was rough and dark, and he could withstand the harsh environment in this desert.
As ordinary people, why did the pair of grandfathers and grandsons go deep into the desert, come to this stronghold, and set up a stall to sell noodles?
In fact, they were hired by a small group of more than a dozen soul condensing warriors, and at the same time, dozens of ordinary people were hired, all of whom were responsible for escorting truckloads of dry food and food. It's a pity that on the way, they encountered a powerful beast, and the group was almost wiped out. The group of soul condensing warriors died and disappeared, and ordinary people suffered heavy casualties, leaving only this pair of grandchildren lucky to escape.
After surviving, they recovered two wagons loaded with water and a large amount of flour, and found their stronghold here without any danger along the way. Of course, they didn't choose to return but continued because it was not far from here.
After entering here, the grandfather and grandson were at a loss, because the two of them were too lowly, and if they pulled out a random person here, they could knock them down with a wave of their hands.
But the pressure of survival forced the old man to cheer up, and after carefully observing for a long time, he found that there was no one to sell food here, so he decided to use the cart of flour he had brought with him to make noodles and set up a stall. The ultimate goal is to save up enough money to use it in exchange for protection, and find a team to leave the desert with you.
It's a pity that the strength of their grandchildren is too weak, even if this stronghold is suppressed by a few people from the top forces, no one dares to make trouble, and some people will inevitably come to bully them.
After one or two times, the grandfather and grandson had no other losses, but the few buckets of water in the car were robbed.
What happens when there is no water in the desert? There is only one word for the answer, and that is death.
But there is no endless road, at this time there was a nobleman, because he had eaten the noodles made by the old man before, and he felt that the taste was okay and came to eat again, and found that the old man did not make noodles and asked. Knowing that he couldn't make noodles without water, the man became angry on the spot and asked the old man to identify who had grabbed the water and wanted to help him get it back.
The old man was in despair.
This desert is actually not short of water for powerful warriors, because it is easier to encounter a special cactus plant in the desert, and the water that flows out after cutting a tree is enough for one person to use for two days. It's a pity that the old man's strength is definitely not enough, without the combined efforts of more than a dozen soul condensing martial artists, even the fierce beasts that often appear around the cactus can't be defeated.
It was already a mortal situation, and now that someone wanted to help him out, the old man naturally didn't care about offending anyone, so he agreed to identify the people who robbed him of his bucket.
The result was unexpected, and the water was really snatched back. Not only water, but also a hard knock on the compensation fee, and another hard lesson for those people.
This noble man who helped the old man get ahead actually had such strength, and he single-handedly sent those people and the helpers they called.
Benefactor!
The old man began to call it that, and asked for the name of the benefactor, to keep it in mind.
And the man also said his name, which was Xuanyuan Zhe.
That's right, others come to the desert to find it hard or something, but Xuanyuan Zhe is here to play, at least before the secret realm is officially opened, he is playing.
When he was wandering around the village, he saw the old man setting up a noodle stall and came over to ask for a bowl. The clear soup is oligo, the water is still very small, and it is a little dry, but Xuanyuan Zhe can eat the craftsmanship inside, he knows that the stall owner's craftsmanship is good, but it is only because of the environment and the lack of ingredients here, it looks shabby.
The seasoning was only a little salt, but what more could you ask for in the desert? The seasoning powder that Xuanyuan Zhe brought with him, which was used to hunt and barbecue all the way, had run out, and he had been eating tasteless food, and the bird had already faded out of his mouth, and the bowl of noodles was just right.
Anyway, he happened to have nothing to do, so he helped the grandson on the death line.
Then the noodle stall was covered by him, and today he came to patronize it without exception, and at the moment he was holding a pot of noodles, squatting in a shady place and "purring" to eat.
"Senior Sister Mingyue is really, she has to take a bath every three or five days, what else do you pay attention to in this desert. ”
Eating in his mouth, Xuanyuan Zhe thought about the woman in his heart.
This woman is Ming Yue, Xuanyuan Zhe came to the desert to be with Ming Yue, of course, there are not only two people, there is another woman surnamed Yan, who is the examiner of the second level of the new conference.
The woman surnamed Yan has a good relationship with Mingyue, although she often acts with Xuanyuan Zhe after coming to this stronghold, but every few days the two women will get rid of Xuanyuan Zhe and leave the stronghold to go to the desert I don't know where. When they came back, Xuanyuan Zhe would find that the two of them were much more refreshed, and the fragrance on their bodies became obvious again.
Xuanyuan Zhe is not stupid, of course, he can see that they have taken a bath, but he doesn't know what kind of secret place they found. The water used for bathing is estimated to be a large amount of clean water prepared in the space items of the two people.
"But Senior Sister Mingyue will actually agree to go with me, it seems that my Xuanyuan Zhe is still very attractive, hahahaha. ”
Although there is a fly in the ointment of a woman surnamed Yan, Xuanyuan Zhe is still very happy in his heart. After all, he and Ming Yue had only known each other for a short time, and the latter was willing to come to the desert with her, which seemed to him to be a drama.
"Well, I have to thank Brother Zhou for this, otherwise I wouldn't have made such rapid progress with Senior Sister Mingyue. ”
Xuanyuan Zhe invited Zhou Chen to come to the desert with him at first, but unfortunately the latter refused on the grounds that he liked someone.
Originally, Xuanyuan Zhe was a little disappointed because of this, mainly because he couldn't eat the food made by Zhou Chen along the way. But without Zhou Chen, he turned to invite Mingyue, and the latter actually agreed, which made Xuanyuan Zhe overjoyed, and felt that he was fortunately rejected by Zhou Chen, otherwise where would he come from.
"I don't know where Brother Zhou is at the moment, where he has gone during this time, and when he will come here. ”
Xuanyuan Zhe actually only thinks of Zhou Chen at this time, and tomorrow he can act with Mingyue and them again, so he naturally leaves Zhou Chen behind.
