Chapter 118: The Adventurer (2)
"Auntie, let's just ask, a few days ago, was there a wolf in the mountains coming out of here?" A young man in a blue mountaineering suit asked, the man looked calm, but he couldn't hide the faint hint of frivolity between his eyebrows.
"yes!" The eldest lady threw the firewood into the stove, sat on the bench and looked at the fire and asked, "Why are you inquiring about this?" You don't want to go into the mountains, do you? May I tell you, the wolf is not gone yet? Just a few days ago, more than 20 people were bitten to death on the road you came up! ”
The man smiled and said, "Auntie, you killed more than 20 people, aren't you still alive and well?" ”
Obviously, these people knew about this case, and more than 20 people died in the mountains, and the garrison could not suppress it. The eldest lady was a little curious, these people knew that they were still coming, but they didn't talk much, just said, "Hi! We mountain people have dealt with the mountains all our lives, and there is nothing to be afraid of! ”
The man said, "Is that really? I heard that the wolf king who turned into a werewolf in the town also came out of here? ”
The eldest lady's son smiled: "What's the matter? Do you still want to find the wolf king's lair? ”
There are indeed rumors in the world that if you find the lair of the wolf king, you can find a peerless treasure, and the absolute rule of a wolf pack depends not only on the independent existence of the wolf king, but also on the luck given by God. Many descendants of ethnic groups who believe in the existence of wolves still retain this idea, and many legends have been derived.
These people didn't hide it either, and said directly: "Yes! If you want to go into the mountains to see, if you can find the best, if you can't find it, it is a long insight. Auntie, is there anyone in your village who can take us into the mountains? If there is, the price is good, we are not short of money. ”
The eldest lady kindly persuaded: "Technology is not as simple as you think, I think you are all from the city, right?" It's not that I'm talking nonsense, people who have never been up the mountain have to work hard to walk more than 20 miles, the mountain is different from the mountain, and the mountain is ......."
"Okay, okay, we know what we are like, there are wild beasts in the mountains, right, Lao Tzu has a gun! Anyway, you just have to find someone to lead the way, don't ink, tell me how much it is! If we can't hold on, the money will still be yours. ”
The eldest lady looked at another young man, saw his arrogant appearance, and then looked at the girl next to her whose expression was still a little admired, and knew that this girl was not a good thing. The eldest lady was not angry, but said: "The most powerful person in the village is at the head of the village, you have also seen it, that peach tree, if I can invite him, I don't dare to pack a ticket, it is definitely deeper than anyone who can take you deeper." ”
Although the leading man did not stop his companion's insulting remarks, he still maintained his due politeness, nodded and said, "Then thank you, auntie, I will ask again, if they don't agree, who will we look for?" Who is the second person in the village? ”
The eldest lady's son put down the hunting bow and said, "If they don't agree, you will come back to me." ”
Several young people glanced at each other, they all understood, and after thanking them, they turned around and walked next door, after thinking about it, they still didn't directly push open the courtyard door and walked in, but the girl looked at the peach tree in the yard, and only felt pleasing to the eye and relaxed, and there was a fresh feeling that had never been before, which was amazing.
"Is the brother inside?" The young man in the lead shouted into the cabin.
The arrogant companion next to him whispered: "Brother Chu, if you want me to say that you are doing this too much, no matter who he is, just use money to smash it down, these mountain and wild villagers, can they withstand it?" Since we are in the mountains, it must be the best, and I don't know if that old lady is blowing nonsense. ”
Brother Chu smiled, shook his head and said, "People in the mountains are usually simple, don't think that if people don't get angry with you, you can belittle people casually." And since the eldest lady said that the first is this, but did not say that the first is from his family, it has been able to prove that people are not lying, and they say less and do more. ”
The man pursed his lips, not impressed.
The administrator had already opened his eyes in bed at this time, and asked lazily, "What's going on outside?" ”
Recently, the relationship between An Xiaoyu and the administrator has heated up sharply, probably because she has never lived with her sweetheart for so long before, she is tired of being together all day long, and she also sleeps in the same bed at night, so An Xiaoyu always feels that her love for the administrator is getting deeper and deeper.
What's more, I have also experienced some Mingyu things in cause and effect before, and I have learned more about the real administrator and the things of the year, and I no longer have any shackles in my heart. As for why it's one-sided, the main reason is that the administrator himself doesn't seem to have any self-consciousness, and the sultry is always invisible.
In short, now An Xiaoyu feels that the administrator's lazy appearance is really handsome, if it is known by other friends, people who don't understand the identity of the administrator will definitely warn An Xiaoyu that a lazy man can't be entrusted for life, and it's better for such a person to get rid of it and leave.
But who are the administrators? An Xiaoyu smiled, stretched out his hand and tapped lightly on the administrator's face twice, and whispered in his ear: "There are four people from the city outside, looking for someone to lead the way into the mountain, it sounds like they want to find the treasure of the wolf king's lair or something, what they said is the same as the truth." ”
"Hmm......" The administrator couldn't help but sigh when he heard another call outside, closed his eyes and lay down for a while, and waited until the third call came, then he sat up from the bed with An Xiaoyu's shoulders, put on his coat and pushed the door and walked out, and saw four red, orange, yellow and blue mountaineering suits.
"No one with you." The caretaker said lightly, then closed the door again, and when he turned around, he was no longer lazy. The fireplace that was about to be extinguished was rekindled, and the caretaker set up the pot, but there was a knock on the door.
An Xiaoyu opened the door, but saw that the one standing outside was Brother Chu who was wearing a blue mountaineering suit, and the administrator just showed his side, and they didn't say the price, of course they were unwilling. I didn't care if the yard was not a yard, and when I saw that the courtyard door was not locked, I came to the door of the wooden house.
"As I said, if you don't bring anyone, you don't have that free time." The caretaker yawned, poured the soaked rice into the pot, and then took out a piece of dried dried meat from the bag next to him, and ate a porridge meal in the morning as usual, without looking back at the person at the door.
The man was also polite, and said seriously: "My name is Chu Changhe, I am from the imperial capital, and the three outside are all my friends. The four of us just wanted to find a guide, and if we didn't have that much time, we could have rushed back in the evening, and then we could move on on ourselves. ”
The caretaker just didn't speak, stirring the pot with a spoon and then closing the lid.
Seeing that he was indifferent, Chu Changhe continued: "Of course, if you can really take us into the mountain, the price is negotiable, I think, how about three thousand yuan?" ”
An Xiaoyu quietly rolled her eyes, and said what kind of rich person she was, and as a result, she took out three thousand yuan. Of course, the caretaker was not moved, and after closing the lid of the pot, he cleaned up the bed, and then walked to the door, reaching out to close the door.
Chu Changhe was in a hurry, blocked the crack in the door with his hand, and said again: "Five thousand? Eight thousand? Brother, there should always be a price, we are sincere, why don't we get 50,000? ”
Yo he! An Xiaoyu was impressed, jumping directly from eight thousand to fifty thousand, which was a bit unexpected, it seems that these people really plan to go into the mountains to find some wolf king's lair. But An Xiaoyu made it clear that there must be nothing in the wolf king's lair.
If the rumors are true, they are certainly true. The wolf king who can easily be tens of thousands of mountain wolves out of the mountain is definitely not simply relying on individual ability, and there may be any treasures. But this time the wolf king, she couldn't be clearer, just because of star energy.
The wolves in the mountains and forests around the imperial capital could not have appeared in the first place, not to mention how many pieces of these mountains were divided by roads and railways, and the wolves would never be connected. Let's just say that the military bases scattered in the mountains are enough to clear half of the number of newborns in the surrounding wolf pack every year, how can there be an army of wolf packs?
If it weren't for the star energy, this wolf king would not have been able to rule so many mountain wolves, and it would have ruled the entire mountain and forest wolf tribe, relying on the head wolf who constantly defeated the other party, rather than completely controlling the wolf pack. Just look at the werewolf after he died, these wolves scattered and fled, and a group of stragglers braved and did not become a big deal.
But it's a pity that the five young people don't know the inside story, and they think that there must be some great treasure in the wolves. In fact, after the opening of the Great Cultivation World, there are definitely not a few people like them who plan to look for opportunities everywhere, and all of them are idiots.
There are indeed a lot of opportunities in the world, but how can there be so many opportunities now? Even if the Great Cultivation World is opened, it does not mean that there are ordinary people in the deep mountains and old forests who can ascend to the sky in one step. For so many years, did you really think that the empire was a dry meal? If you think about it, in order to restrict the emergence of the cultivation world in the past few thousand years, the empire will definitely sweep away these opportunities, let alone try your luck.
And those places where there are really great opportunities are all deep mountains and old forests or forbidden places of the empire, and they can't enter with their strength alone, not to mention that these places have been targeted by the family and the sect, that is, people like Wei Fangyuan can get such a big opportunity by mistake.
Therefore, these people are destined to lose all their money, and I don't know why there are always people who feel that they are the children of destiny, and it is not good to feel good to be the children of destiny. Look at yourself, look at the administrator, and then look at the Humanist Ancestor, and the unlucky guy who was cut off by Zhan Pei's imperial luck halfway.
Shaking his head imperceptibly, An Xiaoyu only thought they were fools.
The administrator just said, "If you don't go, you won't go, please go back." ”
The arrogant brother before couldn't help it, and said loudly to Chu Changhe: "Brother Chu, I think they just want the lion to open their mouths, and then take us in and out after two turns." Let's just say that, you take us into the mountains, we will give you 300,000, and we will find someone else. ”
Pulling the crack in the door a bit, the caretaker looked at the three people outside, he reached out and took off the composite bow hanging on the wall, the bow body has taken on a mature color after these days of use, the tree paint that was painted before has become jet black and shiny, and the lines of the antler patches inside are layered on top of each other, which is very beautiful.
When they saw this bow, the four young people's eyes lit up, knowing that what the eldest lady said was true, and such a hunting bow knew at a glance that it was a master's weapon. But unexpectedly, the administrator took the longbow in his hand and asked, "Do you know how much this bow is worth on the market?" ”
How do these stunned young people know the value of such a retro compound bow? Not to mention the process, even if there are drawings and production materials, it is estimated that no one can copy them. The high-end weapons of the ancient army are all secret, and the drawings are not easy to use.
Chu Changhe looked at the longbow and swallowed a mouthful of greedy saliva, shook his head and said, "I don't know." ”
The administrator said: "This bow, put in the auction house, there is no 20 million that can't be brought down, you can take out 100 million, I will take you into the mountain." ”
The arrogant brother suddenly blushed, just now he said that he would use money to smash people, but as soon as he broke out 300,000, people slapped him in the face at the speed of light. Looking at the administrator's appearance, the arrogant brother couldn't help but scold: "Fuck, you said 20 million is 20 million?" A broken bow ......"
"Chen Yu!" Chu Changhe suddenly scolded loudly.
The arrogant brother Chen Yu didn't expect Chu Changhe's reaction to be so violent, and he couldn't help but be startled, and then he was angry. But the four of them have always been based on Chu Changhe, and the idea this time was also from Chu Changhe, plus Chu Changhe's background is also better, Chen Yu can only shut his mouth in grievance.
When the girl beside him comforted Chen Yu, Chu Changhe was not angry at all. He is not Chen Yu's kind of unlearned and unskilled gentleman, of course he knows how much an excellent longbow is for a hunter, plus seeing that the administrator has an extraordinary temperament, he first believed eight points for 20 million.
And he is even more sure that the matter of entering the mountain is probably the administrator. The other young people in the mountain village may also be experienced hunters, but how can they compare to the masters who can make tens of millions of hunting bows at their fingertips? With such a master, their itinerary will be stable!
So he didn't bother at all, Chu Changhe said: "One hundred million, take us into the mountains!" ”
The administrator nodded: "Wait at the door." ”
At this time, the porridge in the pot had begun to boil, An Xiaoyu lifted the lid of the pot, stirred it in the pot with a spoon, cut the dried meat into shreds and threw it into the pot, and the fragrance suddenly spread. Chu Changhe and the four of them went up the mountain in the early morning, of course they didn't eat in the morning, and they all stuttered after smelling the smell.
As a result, the administrator smiled and pushed his hand to close the door.
Chen Yu glared at the door fiercely, and said that he would give you 100 million, and he didn't even give him breakfast? I don't have any eyesight! Complaining in his heart, he was a little aggrieved, looked at Chu Changhe who walked back from the door and said, "Brother Chu, one hundred million!" That's all our savings, is it worth it? ”
Chu Changhe shook his head: "Is it worth it, you have to go into the mountains to know, if there is really a fate in the mountain, it is worth it no money, if not, what is the use of keeping this money?" ”
Hearing this, Chen Yu's face was also much uglier.
Walking to the peach tree in the yard, Chu Changhe stretched out his hand and gently patted off the snow on a branch, and said softly: "This family is not simple, since you believe in the existence of chance, why didn't you expect that the high-ranking hermit would also exist?" That bow is indeed worth the price, and since the bow is worth the price, of course the people are also worth it. ”
Chen Yu stopped talking, and since Chu Changhe had already made a decision, he didn't say anything more. They are all disciples of a down-and-out small family, in such troubled times, the small family is less valuable than ordinary people, they are the scum at the feet of the big family, and they are cannon fodder that can be thrown out casually.
Ordinary people can still choose a variety of positions, choose which ashram to join, or find out that they are a genius, and they will be a blockbuster from then on. But they can't, they have to take care of the interests of the family, and they have to look at the faces of the big families above.
Although the big family in their cognition is only a third-order family, even if it is the third sequence, it is enough to crush them to death with one finger. So they have to find a way out on their own, and if they can really get the opportunity, they can get rid of the fate of being manipulated.
Chu Changhe has already made a desperate bet.
An Xiaoyu was a little strange: "How could you agree to let a few of them enter the mountain?" Do I follow or not? ”
The caretaker hung the iron pot up slightly to prevent it from burning, and put two bowls of porridge from the pot, and the two of them were not too hot, and they ate loudly: "Of course you follow along, anyway, you have nothing to do now, remember to leave enough rules to take care of your peach tree before going out." ”
"How many days?" An Xiaoyu doesn't care, the snow doesn't stop, she really doesn't dare to let the peach tree bloom like this, anyway, it's just a few days away, the same perception of the law, where is it not the same? Maybe you can change places, see the administrator a few more times, and have a more profound experience.
The caretaker said, "Come back before the snow stops." ”
"That's been a little over a week." An Xiaoyu nodded, with her current level, leaving the law in the land and the peach tree to maintain the normal survival of the peach tree, these days can still be done. So this matter was settled, as for why An Xiaoyu asked why he went into the mountain with them......
The administrator missed this question, which means that this question is actually no longer worth discussing, according to the usual practice, it won't be long before they come back, maybe after they come back, An Xiaoyu will be able to know the answer by himself, anyway, it's just a few days.
To be honest, An Xiaoyu was very curious, if there was really a fate in the mountains, how would Chu Changhe and these people be divided? Chen Yu must have another position, the woman and Chen Yu are standing on the same line, stopping at the remaining man in red who has not spoken, it is estimated that he is Chu Changhe's bodyguard, and he doesn't talk much.
"Will there be a big drama of intrigue?"
The administrator knocked her on the head, "I hope someone is okay." ”
