Chapter 494: Poor Mountains and Bad Waters
Lu Ping'an and Chun Yu Feiqiong went quite smoothly all the way, and occasionally encountered some demon beasts, but they were also scared away by Lu Ping'an.
He didn't even have to use his hands, just exuding the aura of transcendent spiritual power, he could form a powerful deterrent, but all demon beasts below the middle grade of the Heavenly Rank didn't dare to come and provoke him.
The two of them weren't in too much of a hurry, just moving away at a normal pace.
Two days later, when they walked to a certain location closer to the big snow mountain, Lu Ping'an's face suddenly changed and he smiled.
"There seems to be a small village in front of us. ”
Chun Yu Feiqiong was stunned and said, "That's great, let's go over quickly." ”
Lu Ping'an said: "Don't worry, Elder Zhuang said that outsiders will be excluded from Dapo Town, and the people in this small village may be like this, we have to find a way to leave a good impression on them, and then slowly gain their trust, so that we can know about Bai Zeguo from their mouths." ”
Chun Yu Feiqiong said: "The problem is that we don't know what kind of customs and habits they have, how do we know what is a good impression for them?"
Lu Ping'an thought for a moment and said, "Bring some good food and drink? such as meat and wine? I still have some good wine in my storage bag." ”
Chun Yu Feiqiong shook his head and said, "This shouldn't work, if they don't trust outsiders, how can they accept the food we send?"
Lu Ping'an said again: "Then distribute gold and spirit stones to them, these things are also very valuable and useful in Bai Zeguo, right?"
Chun Yu Feiqiong said: "This may not work, and it may even backfire." ”
Lu Ping'an thought for a while and said, "Since this is the case, I can only be cautious." ”
Chun Yu Feiqiong asked puzzledly, "What do you mean?"
Lu Ping'an said: "No matter which continent people have, no matter what kind of habits they have, there will be such a thing as 'compassion'. ”
Chun Yu Feiqiong's eyes rolled, and she seemed to guess Lu Ping'an's thoughts, and said, "Isn't that to deceive them?"
Lu Ping'an shrugged his shoulders and said, "Otherwise, what else can we do?" Anyway, we won't hurt them, and it doesn't hurt to tell a small lie." ”
It didn't take long for the two of them to reach the vicinity of the small village.
At this time, Lu Ping'an had already made himself pale and weak, and he pretended that he couldn't even walk steadily, and he needed to be supported by Chun Yu Feiqiong in order to walk forward slowly.
The reason why Lu Ping'an was asked to pretend to be an injured person was also to let those villagers relax their vigilance, after all, judging from the appearance alone, a girl like Chun Yu Feiqiong must be relatively non-threatening, Lu Ping'an is a man, but he was injured, and it doesn't seem to cause much harm.
Of course, this is just the situation that Lu Ping'an envisioned, and it is unknown whether the villagers here will eat this set or not.
As soon as the two of them reached the entrance of the village, they heard the sound of a fierce dog barking.
Immediately afterward, five large dogs rushed out and barked at the two of them.
These dogs are large and have sharp claws, and they are not the kind of domestic dogs that can be found everywhere in the Eastern Continent, but "snow dogs" unique to the snow fields.
In a sense, this can also be regarded as a kind of spirit animal, but the grade is very low, and it has no combat effectiveness, but if it is for ordinary people, it is quite a good hunting helper.
With the strength of Lu Ping'an and the others, as long as a little spiritual power is revealed, these snow dogs can be scared away.
But instead of doing so, they stood there and pretended to be panicked.
Afterwards, Lu Ping'an and the others saw a middle-aged woman with a spear in her hand, wearing thick clothes made of beast fur, and a rather strong physique, walking out of the village.
She was now standing some distance away, looking at Lu Ping'an and Chun Yu Feiqiong with wariness, and then let out a strange scream.
When the five snow dogs heard the barking, they immediately ran to her side, and did not bark again, but still stared at Lu Ping'an and the two with grinning teeth.
Chun Yu Feiqiong said: "Eldest sister, my friend is injured and hasn't drunk water or eaten for several days, can you do well, give us something to eat, and let us go in and rest for a while?"
The middle-aged woman said, "People from the city?"
Lu Ping'an and the others were actually dressed as people from the Eastern Continent, but she didn't seem to understand, so she regarded the two of them as city people.
Chun Yu Feiqiong nodded and said, "Sort of." ”
The middle-aged woman hesitated for a moment and said, "The people in the city are very rich, give you money, and I will give you food, but you can't go in and rest." ”
Chun Yu Feiqiong was stunned when she heard this, but Lu Ping'an said in a weak voice: "Okay." ”
The middle-aged woman gave birth to her hand and said, "Give it to me first." ”
Lu Ping'an took out the small gold nugget that had been prepared from his pocket and handed it over.
The middle-aged woman was shocked when she saw this, as if she was frightened by the gold, and after being stunned for a long time, she reached out and took it and said, "You wait." ”
After saying that, the middle-aged woman turned around and walked back to the village, but the five snowdogs remained where they were.
Chun Yu Feiqiong said: "Do you think she will come back?"
Lu Ping'an said: "Definitely, it's hard to say whether you come back with something or bring someone back." ”
In such a remote place, there may be simple and kind people, but it is also possible that "poor mountains and bad waters come out of the people".
Chun Yu Feiqiong said: "I feel that the eldest sister should be a good person. ”
Lu Ping'an said: "No matter who it is, I have a way to deal with it, you just need to cooperate with me." ”
After a while, the middle-aged woman returned to the room, carrying two black-looking pieces of jerky and a water bag in her hand.
"Take it, let's go. ”
The middle-aged woman handed the thing to Chun Yu Feiqiong, and then turned to leave.
Chun Yu Feiqiong didn't know what Lu Ping'an could do, but at this time, seeing that the other party was about to leave, he glanced at Lu Ping'an and asked him to act quickly.
In fact, Lu Ping'an's method is...... Pretend to faint.
Because if this middle-aged woman comes back with something, it means that she is a more sympathetic and trustworthy person.
If you see Lu Ping'an fainting to the ground, it is estimated that he will not die without help.
Lu Ping'an also knew that it was a bit despicable to take advantage of other people's compassion in this way, but in their situation, there was no other way.
However, just as Lu Ping'an was about to fall to the ground, another middle-aged woman and a middle-aged man suddenly came from the village.
When the two saw Lu Ping'an and Chun Yu Feiqiong, they couldn't help but be stunned, and then they were even more shocked when they saw the middle-aged woman who sent them something.
"Aunt Niu, who are they? What are you doing?"
The middle-aged man asked.
The aunt Niu looked a little flustered, as if she was a thief, and said, "No, it's nothing." ”
The middle-aged woman on the side said, "It's nothing, so what are the two of them holding in their hands? Isn't it you who gave it?"
The middle-aged man said, "You actually give food to outsiders? Have you forgotten what happened before?"
Aunt Niu said: "Of course I haven't forgotten, but it was before, I think the two of them are still children, and they shouldn't be bad people." ”
The middle-aged woman said: "Just by looking at it, can you tell if it's good or bad? I think you are deliberately unruly, don't think that your man is a squad leader in the Snow Armor Army, and you can mess around!"
The middle-aged man said, "That is, if you bring those things back to us now, we won't tell the village chief, otherwise, you will wait to be beaten!"
Hearing this, Aunt Niu immediately raised her eyebrows, stared, and said, "Zhao Erdan, Huang Daya, don't go too far with the two of you!"
The middle-aged man named Zhao Erdan said, "Obviously, you broke the rules of the village, and you dare to say that we are excessive?"
Aunt Niu said: "Do the rules matter to people's lives? That guy hasn't eaten for a few days, what's wrong with me giving him something to eat? and I didn't take your family, I think you are jealous that my man is the captain and can get more things every month!"
Huang Daya said: "What does it have to do with the lives and deaths of people outside? Besides, you are the only one left at home in your family now, what's the use of receiving so many things? If you don't give it to us, it's a waste to give it to irrelevant people!"
When Aunt Niu heard this, her eyes were even more angry, and she said: "I can give it to whomever I like, you don't care! I not only want to give them something to eat, but also take them in to rest!"
Zhao Erdan said: "What are you talking about? I think you're really crazy!"
Huang Daya said: "Don't talk nonsense with her, let's tell the village chief to go!"
With that, the two of them were going back to the village to complain.
"Wait!"
At this moment, Lu Ping'an shouted.
The two turned their heads with puzzled faces, but when they saw Lu Ping'an holding two small pieces of gold in his hands, their eyes immediately lit up and they were stunned.
Chun Yu Feiqiong said: "Keep it a secret, these two pieces of gold are yours." ”
The two men looked at each other, then nodded at the same time.
Zhao Erdan said: "Okay!
Huang Daya said: "Yes, definitely not to say!"
Lu Ping'an waved his hand and threw the gold out, and the two hurriedly reached out to catch it.
Huang Daya put it in her mouth and bit it, tried to see if it was true or not, and then said: "It's true!"
Zhao Erdan smiled: "Haha, I'm rich! I have meat to eat tonight!"
While discussing how to spend the money, the two walked back to the village, seemingly forgetting the existence of Aunt Niu and Lu Ping'an and others.
Aunt Niu was still angry, glanced at Lu Ping'an, and said, "Why are you two of them?
Lu Ping'an took out another bigger piece of gold and said, "Eldest sister, I'm sorry to cause you trouble, this can be regarded as our apology to you." ”
Aunt Niu was startled, and hurriedly waved her hand, saying, "This is too much, I can't ask for it!"
Lu Ping'an threw it directly, and Aunt Niu subconsciously took it.
"No more, no less, what you give us is worth the price. ”
Aunt Niu hesitated and asked, "That'...... Would you like to go in and rest for a while?"
Lu Ping'an shook his head and said, "No need, we just want to ask, what kind of place is this?
