Volume 2 The Traveler Patrols the Four Seas Chapter 120 Chihe Village Chapter (4)
"Why don't you just go up the mountain with the three masters?" After the third master left, Khernov asked.
Originally, Jiang Ling proposed not to go to the village for the time being, and first go up the mountain to make friends with the Black Sheep Village, Leia also agreed, only Hull proposed to go to the village first, but after really seeing the bandits in Black Sheep Mountain, Jiang Ling and Leia didn't mean to talk, and even in the case of the three masters taking the initiative to speak, the two still quietly watched the three masters take people away, and Hull was a little confused.
Jiang Ling shook his head lightly: "If we are not in a hurry at this time, the situation on the mountain is more complicated than we imagined. ”
Leia also continued: "This triad seems to really have some doorways, if it is just a third-rate gang composed of rustic people in the countryside, it shouldn't make Black Sheep Mountain give this face, we should go to the village to investigate." ”
"But the three masters took the initiative to greet us." Hull was puzzled: "As for what kind of organization the triad is, we can go up the mountain and ask the big bosses. ”
Jiang Ling continued to explain: "The third master killed the people under the second master, I'm afraid there will be some disputes after we go back, and we shouldn't follow at this time." ”
Leia nodded and continued: "And judging from the strength of these three masters, I am afraid that there are really some masters in this remote mountain, we need to find out some relevant information first, and then contact, we can also be more measured." ”
Seeing the two singing and explaining to themselves, Hull couldn't help but be a little impatient, shook his head and said, "You are the one who said that you went up the mountain first, and you are the one who said that you went to the village first." ”
"This time and that time." Jiang Ling said a word, and then muttered: "The estimation of these three masters is already very close to or even crossing the threshold of the Heavenly Change Realm, and it is also worry-free to find an errand in the county town with such strength." ”
"It's not just food and clothing, you can live a very nourishing life." Leia also said: "Now that we have seen the strength of the other party, we have to recalculate. ”
The three of them agreed on a unified opinion and decided to go to the village first to inquire about the Black Sheep Village, the Triad and the bandit suppression team in the village.
Jiang Ling said: "There is also good news, that is, this black sheep village is not a group of barbaric rioters, judging from the words and deeds of the three masters, there are still rules and morals on this village. ”
"In this way, you can also balance a little in your heart, my righteous little handsome man." Leia joked and grabbed Jiang Ling's arm again.
Jiang Ling did not shirk this, nor did he take advantage of the situation to approach, but quietly and instantly withdrew his spiritual power from the spiritual aperture and hid it.
The reason is that Jiang Ling saw that Leia deliberately got so close, and he was afraid that his purpose was most likely to be to explore his strength.
Just now, he shot angrily, but he didn't go all out, probably at the level of the first time in the middle of the realm, although Leia and Hull would not be too surprised, but I am afraid they also want to find out their strength.
Leia is a ninja teacher, and according to Jiang Ling's understanding, a ninja teacher, especially a nin-a master of the flow of thoughts, has a strong perceptual ability, and has more means than other professions to probe the strength of others.
Although it's just speculation, it's not a big mistake to be careful, an unpredictable woman like Leia can't be treated as candidly as Sun Xiaolou or Satomi Sato, even if she is currently her teammate.
Leia naturally couldn't guess what Jiang Ling was thinking, she just gently wrapped her arms around Jiang Ling's arm and said, "If you don't make a move just now, I will make a move, and I don't want to see them hurt these innocent people." ”
"Hmm." Jiang Ling answered, but in his heart, he said that it may not be.
And Hull glanced at the two people who seemed a little intimate, rolled his eyes secretly, and then asked, "What do you mean by the words of the three masters before leaving?" Is it a warning or an invitation? ”
Jiang Ling said: "It's a temptation." ”
Leia explained to the two: "At first, I should have been suspicious when I saw that you were doing a good job, but then I heard that we were dart masters, so I showed some kindness, and it was true that I wanted to invite us to the mountain." ”
"Oh?" Hull didn't understand for a while, and wondered: "I remember, aren't the relationship between the dart master and the mountain bandits enemies?" ”
Jiang Ling thought for a moment and understood what Leia meant, looked at Hull and smiled: "You should also remember that there is a saying - there are only eternal interests and no eternal enemies. ”
As Jiang Ling's words came out, Hull also instantly figured out the key.
Without prey, hunters wouldn't spend food on hounds, and without bandits, wouldn't hire a dart master. On the surface, the dart master and the mountain bandit are enemies with swords, but they affect each other's interests.
When a dart master and a robber meet, it is very rare to fight you to the death as soon as they meet, and this situation basically only occurs when there is a huge difference in strength. There is also a special situation that the escorted goods are relatively special, and some people deliberately buy the murderer to rob them, so they have to fight. In general, when the robber encounters the delivery of the dart board, the dart master reports the name of the dart board, and then throws a sum of "road money" and is fine.
In this way, although the dart master said that he paid filial piety, it was definitely much less than the commission he received from his employer, and there was still a profit to be made in the middle. And the robbers don't really have to work hard, they can get money just by putting up a battle, so why not.
Those dart games that are well-known and have a high success rate of escorting may not really be their strength and powerful dart masters, maybe they are just in place on the bandits' side.
So, the dart master and the bandit look like you're alive and die in front of outsiders, and who knows if they have any indescribable deals.
Even in real life, there are many seemingly contradictory two types of people, and there will be such a doorway that is not enough for outsiders.
The exchange between the three of them came to an end, and then the village chief walked up to a few people and said gratefully, "Thank you for your righteous help." ”
Jiang Ling replied: "The old man is polite, but I was too late to make a move, and I am really ashamed to let that person kick you." ”
"Don't say that, I'm so old, and my life is not worth much, if it weren't for your help, I'm afraid my two sons would have died under the knife." The village chief raised his hand and handed over the money bag he had just received from the third master, and said: "Although it is the silver money in the hands of the mountain bandits, we really don't have any other money on us, please don't be dirty, just laugh at it." ”
Jiang Ling said resolutely: "Old man, what are you doing here, I am not helping you for money, besides, this is the money that the three masters give you to show your body, I will not accept it." ”
The village chief sent it forward twice, and seeing that Jiang Ling was really determined not to accept it, he bent down again to thank him.
Jiang Ling hurriedly helped the village chief and said, "You are injured, just rest quickly." At this time, Jiang Ling felt that Leia leaned towards him again, and he vaguely understood, and said to the village chief again: "If you want to thank us for our simplicity, when you pass by the village in a while, you will have to bother us to give us some food and water." ”
"Absolutely." When the village chief heard this, he smiled and said, "The three of you must go to our village and sit down, and let me express my gratitude." ”
"That's tiring." Jiang Ling thanked him.
The village chief turned around and went back, and with the help of his son, he made a back cart and continued on his way.
Jiang Ling and the others glanced at each other, then walked a few steps quickly, and returned to the side of the village chief, after all, there was still some information that needed to be investigated.
This time, because Jiang Ling had just made a move and won the favor of everyone, he was needed to talk. Jiang Ling asked: "Old man, seeing that these three masters are extraordinary, I don't know what kind of strength he has?" ”
The village chief coughed lightly, and then said with a wry smile: "Even you can't see the strength of the three masters, how do I know." ”
Jiang Ling smiled and said, "I thought that Chi was so close to the Black Sheep Mountain in the village, I should have heard of it." ”
The village chief said, "I really don't know about this, but when you get to the village, you can ask the triads." ”
Listening to the village chief himself leading up to the next topic, Jiang Ling also planned to go down, but then Jiang Ling saw that the old man was coughing a little, and thinking that the kick of the mountain bandit before was not light, he turned his head to look at Leia.
Who knew that Leia actually sensed Jiang Ling's thoughts in an instant at this moment, handed over a pill, and said, "Baiguo Dan, the effect of the medicine is not bad." ”
Jiang Ling was slightly stunned, and then couldn't help laughing: "There is a spirit in the heart." ”
Leia also threw a charming wink and continued, "A little bit of a point." ”
Jiang Ling couldn't help but admire the translation system built into this game, how did this make French and Chinese so harmoniously transformed? Can you connect it at all?
Jiang Ling didn't have time to think about this inconsequential issue for a while, turned around and handed the village chief a pill, and said apologetically: "I patronized and talked to you, and forgot that you have injuries on your body, this is the healing medicine we brought with us, you should be better if you take it." ”
"It's... That's too precious, isn't it? The village chief didn't dare to take it, and finally ate it at Jiang Ling's insistence.
After about a few minutes, the village chief said again: "This medicine is really a miracle medicine, I feel much better, but I didn't expect to bother you to break the bank." ”
"Where is the magic medicine, it can't be talked about, don't be too polite to your old man." Jiang Ling followed Leia's previous words and said, "In the future, we will become a dart master in Fang Yuan City, so we will inevitably take this road again, but maybe we will have trouble settling down in the village chief." ”
The village chief said happily: "Chihe Village welcomes a few masters to settle down at any time." ”
Seeing that the village chief's impression of himself was already so high, Jiang Ling continued to ask: "By the way, I don't know what kind of organization our village chief's triad is?"
The village chief did not hide it, and replied: "This is a long story, don't look at our village as inconspicuous, but it has a history of more than a hundred years, and this triad, if I remember correctly, existed eighty years ago, and I was not born at that time." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Ling couldn't help but be a little surprised, and secretly said in his heart that this triad was really unusual, and the faction that could maintain it in a small village for eighty years without falling down, no matter how you look at it, there are some doorways.
The old man continued: "This has to start from the origin of our village, it is said that two hundred years ago this was still a wilderness, and the entire southern part of Weiyang Kingdom was famine, Fang Yuan and Puyue were not spared, a group of hungry homeless people began to migrate without a head, digging wild vegetables and picking bark along the way, but it was already the late autumn period, there were not even a few wild grasses, everyone held on, until they came to this place but could no longer walk, the sound of wailing was continuous, everyone was desperate. ”
Speaking of this, the village chief looked a little excited, and said: "But at this moment, an unbelievable thing happened! ”
