Bao Luo went to the place where everyone rested with the support of Li Chaoyang and Zhao Yuansheng.

"Uncle Qiu, Brother Boro has something to tell you. Li Chaoyang said to Qiu Lao.

"Well, what's the matter?" Qiu Lao blew the broth on the side of his mouth, and the soup was a little cold after being made so much by Boluo just now.

"Can I go with you to the capital?" Boro asked directly.

The merchants around him who were drinking soup almost didn't choke on Boro's words.

But what they said about this matter is not all, and the choice is all on Qiu Lao.

Qiu Lao was not like the others, but he was unusually calm, slowly drank a mouthful of soup, looked up at Boro, chewed the meat strips in his mouth with a lot of effort, and swallowed them before he spoke: "Why did you go to the national capital?"

"I haven't been to the capital since I'm so old, and almost all of my friends are dead after this mission failed, and I want to leave here and start over in a place where no one knows me. Boro looked at the old man in front of him sincerely

Qiu Lao also saw from his eyes that what he said seemed to be true: "I will not leave you alone in this snowfield for no reason, and let you freeze and starve to death, because I am also a human being, and I have my own conscience." However, I can't promise you that you want to go to the capital with us. ”

"Why?" Boro asked curiously, "I can pay you." ”

Qiu Lao shook his head, "It's not a matter of money, it's professional ethics." Not far ahead is Asuba, where we will settle you down. ”

"Aeshiro?" Boro remembered that there was a girl there who was waiting for him, but now he couldn't go to her.

"No, I can't go to Asuba. Boro shook his head: "Uncle Qiu, what do you want me to do, are you willing to take me to the national capital?"

"Yes, uncle, let him follow us, if we encounter any bandits or the Boro brothers along the way, they can also help us fight them off. Li Chaoyang echoed on the side, but Zhao Yuansheng didn't say much. He, like everyone else, doesn't trust this Boro very much, although he doesn't have any ill will right now, but what if?

"That's the rule, we're not travelers, we've deviated from our original path by sending you to Ashima. You don't have to ask anymore. Qiu Lao shook his head slowly, it is easy to take Boro to the country, but what should I do if there is an accident along the way.

It's not that he doesn't believe in Boro, it's just that it's better to keep a hand in this world now.

Seeing that the old man was reluctant to take him to the national capital, Boro no longer demanded too much: "Since the uncle also has his own concerns, just blame me for many things." However, the uncle continued to hurry according to the original plan, and I can't go to Sucheng anyway, and there are some things that I can't talk about. I'll leave by myself when I'm done. ”

Qiu Lao looked at Boro, "Since you are so insistent, then we will continue to rush according to the previous plan." It's just that I can tell you in advance that once you miss Sucheng, it will be a barren land for a hundred miles. Even if you want to, you won't be able to go back. ”

"When the time comes, Uncle will leave me behind. Boro said to Qiu Lao.

Qiu Lao continued to bow his head and drink the broth in his bowl, telling this kid that the soup was cold for so long. Waved his hand to Li Chaoyang casually, "You take this little brother to rest first, and in two hours, we will start to continue on our way." ”

Qiu Lao looked up at the bleak sunlight above the sky through the bare branches.

The cold clouds hazy blocked out the sunlight, and even though the coldest part of the day had passed, once it left the fire, the body still couldn't stand shivering.

Boro returned to the car, and Li Chaoyang asked him where to get two thick skins: "It's cold in the car, cover it more." ”

"I troubled Brother Chaoyang just now. ”

"What's the trouble, it's just a couple of sentences. But you don't have to worry, Uncle Qiu is just hard-mouthed, and he will leave you in the wilderness, I guess he will definitely choose to take you to the national capital at that time. Li Chaoyang laughed: "After all, not everyone can get out of that ghost place alive." ”

Boro was a little interested in his words, and became disgusted: "It's dangerous there, isn't it?"

"The danger is certain, but what is more important is the ghost wind every night. One doesn't pay attention and waits until he wakes up the next morning, maybe he's missing something. Head, arm, I heard that there are people who have lost even their precious life."

Boro naturally understood what Li Chaoyang was talking about, "Ghost wind, is it the same as the winter ghost?"

"It's different, what is that winter ghost, it's the wind of the gods. ”

"But why does the wind of the gods kill people?"

Li Chaoyang shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows, I also heard about it, I heard that this winter ghost was sent into the world by the gods to find ......"

"Chaoyang!" Zhao Yuansheng interrupted Chaoyang and Boro's whispering in the distance, "Uncle Qiu told you to come over." ”

"Oh, come on!" Li Chaoyang smiled apologetically at Boro, turned around and ran over, "Here, what's the matter?"

"Sent by the gods? Is it really sent by the white gods? But why didn't he take me?" There is something strange about Boro.

"Looks like I'll have to ask the Winter Ghost myself after finding the other five Lusts. ”

"How's that kid?" Qiu Lao asked, pointing with his chin to the carriage where Boro was.

"I talked to him for a while, and I couldn't see any malice on his part. But he seems to have some interest in the hundred miles of wilderness."

Qiu Lao laughed, "After all, he is an exorcist after all, and the wilderness of the hundred miles has been a ghost land since ancient times. Especially during the winter period of the night ghosts, I only hope that we will not encounter these evil spirits in the underworld at that time. ”

"Uncle Qiu, can you really take him to the national capital with us if you don't fight?" Li Chaoyang asked seriously.

"What do you say?" Qiu Lao glanced at him, "If it was before, I would have agreed, but now? Times have changed, in case he is pretending to be now, once he informs his accomplices of our route, then we will be finished." ”

"I don't think he's that kind of person, and although I don't understand what Boro has in mind, I still don't think he's a bad guy. ”

Qiu Lao sighed and said, "Good guy, is it important to be a bad guy? Let's see his performance then, if he really has bad intentions, although I won't kill anyone, but I definitely won't let him continue to follow us." It's good to believe in others until you believe in them, but you can't just believe them. ”

"Uncle, are you to us?" Li Chaoyang asked with a smile

"Stinky boy, I think you're itching!" Qiu Lao scolded with a smile and said, how could they be life and death, he has long regarded these young people in the team as his own, but this Boro really makes him unable to see through.
