Chapter 9: It's Time to Go (Collect)
Wang Liang is the kind of person who listens to persuasion, looking at the confident appearance of the shopkeeper, Wang Liang knows that drinking four bowls and pouring things happens from time to time, he doesn't want to sleep here for a few days and nights, so he put down the wine bowl in his hand and asked.
"Little Er, what's the place on the other side of the mountain?"
"Yanggu County."
Wang Liang nodded when he heard it, it seemed that he had not yet left the scope of Henan Province, he seemed to have been there in his dream, and there seemed to be no famous existence, so he asked again.
"Is there anything famous in this Yanggu County?"
Shopkeeper couldn't help but shake his head when he heard this, there is really nothing very famous in this Yanggu County, after all, this is located inland, and the nearby mountains and forests are not famous mountains and rivers, and even beauties are not famous.
For the shopkeeper, Wang Liang could only change the topic: "Is there anything to pay attention to in the neighborhood?" ”
"Yes, there are tigers in the mountains near here, and only at noon every day, we dare to set off when we have a team of more than 30 people, but we are all old residents, and we all know that as long as we walk on the right road and don't anger the mountain king, we are actually fine, and we are afraid that we will set off in the afternoon and mix in the mountains at night."
"There are tigers? Is it big? ”
When Wang Liang heard that there was a tiger, he became somewhat interested.
The shopkeeper mysteriously pointed to the guests at the other table, "Seeing that old and young, they came here to prepare to slaughter the tiger, they have been preparing here for three days, and they are not ready." ”
Wang Liang looked in the direction pointed by the shopkeeper and found that there were an old man and a young man sitting there, the old one looked to be seventy years old, and the younger one looked to be about fifteen years old.
If ordinary people saw it, they might laugh at the shopkeeper, but Wang Liang saw something different.
The old man's right hand had been resting calmly on the table, motionless as if it were a prosthetic hand, and all his eating and drinking were carried out by his left hand, as if he were protecting his right hand.
From this point, it can be seen that his right hand must have a different role, maybe this is the biggest reliance of the other party to slaughter the tiger.
The little one is even more jumpy, his eyes are looking around, but it can be seen from his movements that he is the kind of flexible person, and he may not have the strength to fight with the tiger, but he should be able to escape.
At this time, the shopkeeper said again: "The person you just shot is a hunter in the mountains, and they are different from those two, they are going to go into the mountains to hunt." ”
Saying that, the shopkeeper raised his eyelids, and Wang Liang understood in seconds, "If there are tigers and go into the mountains to hunt, they are not afraid of encountering tigers?" ”
"It's useless to be afraid, if you want to eat, you have to go into the mountains, and as long as you don't go into the mountains at night, even if you meet a tiger, they can escape, and those few are the escorts, since the tiger appeared, they have been staying here, those caravans want to cross the mountain but can't get enough manpower, they will participate.
Don't say it, their strength is not bad, one can be used as three, and the three of them can keep a carriage through this Jingyanggang safely. ”
The shopkeeper was talking there, Wang Liang was eating there, and soon he ate a large plate of meat.
At this moment, a gong sounded outside the hotel.
"It's time to hit the road, it's time to hit the road, it's noon, it's time to hit the road."
Wang Liang was also speechless for a while when he heard this, is there still a sense of security on the road like this?
Seeing Wang Liang's speechless face, the shopkeeper said in a low voice: "Guest officer, this has been calculated, at least there won't be any big problems, if you want to go to Yanggu County, this is the best opportunity, if you drag it out, you will have to wait for tomorrow." ”
Wang Liang was about to stand up, and he didn't want the old and young over there to also stand up.
The old man carefully put his right hand into the cuff, and then said to the young man, "Let's go, the time is almost up, let's go and kill the tiger, and the tiger skin can be brought back to you to marry your daughter-in-law." ”
The young man nodded happily and followed behind the old man with a very proud expression.
For some reason, Wang Liang had an uneasy feeling in his heart, he took out three copper coins and threw them on the table.
Before Wang Liang could see the hexagram of the copper coin, the shopkeeper swept his hand, and the three copper coins disappeared into his cuffs.
The shopkeeper also said very politely: "Thank you for the reward, you can just follow the carriage of the convoy later, the carriage is the safest." ”
Wang Liang was sweating, he hesitated, and finally did not plan to take out three copper coins to occupy a hexagram, his copper coins are not specifically used for divination, it doesn't matter if it is less, and he also has the confidence to keep himself safe, although he is a little uneasy, but he still believes in his strength.
So Wang Liang finally nodded to the shopkeeper to express his gratitude, and then walked out of the hotel.
At the moment of walking out of the hotel, Wang Liang was blown by the wind, he felt that his mind seemed to become clear, and at the same time, his eyes lit up, and it seemed that the whole world was a little brighter.
He looked at his stats and noticed that a small buff had been added to his stats.
[Three bowls are just right: within 24 hours, the mind will be clear, the eyes will be bright, it will be easier to find some hidden dangers, and in addition, you can not drink again within 24 hours, otherwise it will activate the drunken effect and fall into a state of drunkenness. 】
This state seems to be good, although I don't know what the benefits of a clear mind and bright eyes are, but for now, it should be a good intention.
At this time, Wang Liang was a little pity, this wine is not sold out, otherwise it will be good to take one or two gourds of wine with him, and drink three bowls before the battle.
While thinking, Wang Liang came to the convoy.
At this time, there were two men standing outside the convoy, one holding a gong and striking there.
"I'm on the road, I'm about to hit the road, it's noon, I'm going to be on the road."
The other was there asking everyone who wanted to join the team.
"What will you do, in a car or walking."
When asked about Wang Liang, Wang Liang couldn't help asking, "Is there a difference between riding in a car and walking?" ”
"Of course." This fellow was accustomed to such questions, and as soon as Wang Liang asked him, he replied.
"Our car is used to transport goods, sit in the car, naturally have to pay, if you walk, then you don't have to do this, as long as you don't run around, we can protect your safety, of course, see those sticks no, if you are willing to hold the stick to help us strengthen our momentum, we will provide some food on the way."
As he spoke, the man pointed to the sticks on a cart, all of which were eyebrow-raising short sticks, which they had been preparing for a long time judging by the thickness and the pulp that had been ground on them.
This made Wang Liang a little curious, and he couldn't help but ask more.
"How long has it been since the tiger appeared here?"
