Chapter 262: A Bunch of Problem Children
After coming to the courtyard, several people got up to say hello to Luo Bing, but their eyes were secretly looking at Liu Xiu.
"Everyone, let me introduce you, this little brother's name is Liu Xiu, and he is also going to Jiannan Road, this is a long way, and many people will take care of him, so I am ready to invite him to team up with me, I don't know what you think?" Luo Bing immediately said bluntly in the face of their inquiring eyes, he did not act alone, but in a consultative tone.
When they were looking at Liu Xiu, Liu Xiu was also looking at them.
In addition to Luo Bing, there are six people, four men and two women, all of whom are about twenty years old, dressed as Jianghu guests, with weapons, handsome men and beautiful women, and they look a little bit old at first glance.
With just one glance, Liu Xiu keenly noticed that the six people were vaguely divided into three small groups, close to each other, and kept a certain distance from the others.
Two of the men in leather armor were in a group, one with a sword and the other with a longbow, the other was a blue-clad swordsman and a girl with a short sword, and the last gentle woman and a young man with a spear were a group.
These people Liu Xiu looks like a fledgling newcomer in the rivers and lakes, maybe he has some skills, and he may also have a little influence in the local area, looking at Liu Xiu's eyes with a little scrutiny and pride.
Tsk, it takes 100,000 miles to go to Jiannan Road by land, where did they get the confidence to run so far? Just because of an ancestral dragon legend, you ran to join in the fun?
When Liu Xiu muttered in his heart, Luo Bing introduced in turn: "Brother Liu, these two are Lin Haojie Lin Heroes, they are brothers, their father is the lord of the city, I have known them since childhood, and the relationship is very good, these two are Zhou Yunfei and Lin Nuonuo, the relationship between brothers and sisters, they are the high apprentices of Bibo Building in Nanhai Road, don't look young, cultivation is extraordinary, as for the last two, called Leng Qinglin and Leng Qingsong, they are a pair of sisters and brothers, from the Leng family"
Hearing Luo Bing's introduction, Liu Xiu looked at them and smiled: "Hello everyone"
Although Luo Bing has introduced it in detail enough, in fact, Liu Xiu has no idea about their origin at all, and when they meet for the first time, they don't have to go to Jiannan Dao with them, there is no need to be close or distant.
"Brother Liu, you are fine, after all, you are going to go to Jiannan Road together, the road is far away, take the liberty to ask, Brother Liu, where are you from?" Without waiting for Luo Bing to speak, the young man named Lin Yingying over there looked at Liu Xiu and said with a slight arch.
He looked like he was seventeen or eighteen years old, dressed in pitch-black leather armor and hanging a long knife around his waist, although he was interrogating Liu Xiu's origins, but there were a lot of etiquette.
When you go out, everyone understands the truth of being kind to others, and there are indeed people who pick their noses and eyes as soon as they come up, but after all, there are very few, and often that kind of person will teach some people to learn to be good after a little trouble.
When Lin Yingying asked Liu Xiu, everyone else looked over and looked like they were listening.
"I have no sect, in fact, I am just a wandering doctor, I came here by chance, but I can't compare to all the heroes and young heroes" Liu Xiu smiled tepidly.
In this regard, those people didn't say anything, just looked at Luo Bing, as if to say, Why did you find such a person?
Slightly embarrassed, Liu Xiu found it himself after all, Luo Bing thought about it and said: "Although Brother Liu is just a doctor, isn't this just right, we are going so far to Jiannan Road, it is inevitable that there will be danger because of such and such things on the way, in case of injury, there is also a guarantee from Brother Liu, what do you think?" ”
Although Luo Bing was reasonable, several people looked at him with an expression of whether you are teasing me.
Although it is necessary to bring a healer, but Liu Xiu is so young, okay, has the apprenticeship expired? On the way, even if he is injured, dare he be treated?
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little delicate, Liu Xiu didn't have the time to ink with them, so he opened his mouth to break the silence and said, "If it's okay, let's go first?" ”
Obviously, this time the matter of forming a team to go to Jiannan Road is about to come to an end, and Liu Xiu doesn't care, although the distance is far away and he is a little bored alone, but he doesn't have a hobby of sticking a hot face to other people's cold butts.
"Liu Gongzi wait a minute"
When Liu Xiu was about to turn around and leave, someone stopped him, and it was the gentle-looking Leng Qinglin who spoke.
Liu Xiu turned around and asked with a smile: "I don't know what advice Miss Leng has?" ”
"Don't dare to advise, I just heard Luo Shao say that you are also going to Jiannan Road, the road is too dangerous, it is better to come with us, just by the way, it will not be in the way, but if you encounter danger on the way, you should not completely count on us, please understand this, you think about it yourself" Leng Qinglin muttered slightly.
Liu Xiu could hear that she really just wanted to take herself by the way, she didn't mean anything else, and the others didn't say anything, with an expression that it was none of my business.
"Since Miss Leng said so, Brother Liu, you can come with us, don't worry, there will be me along the way" Luo Bing immediately spoke.
Seeing this, Liu Xiu thought about it and smiled: "It's okay, I try not to drag everyone back on the road"
This matter is settled, Luo Bing is naturally happy about Liu Xiu's joining, although he doesn't know what he is happy about, other people's words, the Lin family brothers don't care, Zhou Yunfei secretly pouts, his junior sister Lin Nuonuo looked at Liu Xiu curiously, and the Leng family brothers and sisters smiled in return.
At this time, Luo Bing said: "The matter is settled, the room is ready, everyone go to rest first, we will set off early tomorrow morning, and rush to Jiannan Road as soon as possible, where it is very lively now, I can't wait."
Liu Xiu really wanted to say that the excitement is not so easy to make up, but young people, it's not like this, knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and prefer to go to the tiger mountains.
This restaurant was opened by Luo Bing's family, and the others estimated that he had already arranged it, and then personally took Liu Xiu to rest, and then left.
After their separation, everyone reacted differently.
Luo Bing is happy, he has long wanted to go to Jiannan Road to see it, but he has never had the opportunity, and he happened to hear that Lin Yingying and they were going to Jiannan Road, so he came up, but everyone was 'in pairs' and he was a little embarrassed alone, and he happened to meet Liu Xiu, so he pulled him to make up the number.
It doesn't matter who Liu Xiu is, it doesn't matter if he has the ability or not, the important thing is that Luo Bing wants to find someone to hold together, so that he won't be lonely on the next trip, and he doesn't think about the others so much, a typical hot mind......
The Lin brothers did not express any opinion on Liu Xiu's joining, and went to sleep separately.
Zhou Yunfei's brother and sister had a short exchange, but they were not talking about Liu Xiu.
"Senior brother, is it really okay for us to run away secretly like this?" Lin Nuonuo said with a little apprehension in anticipation.
Zhou Yunfei was speechless and said, "You have to take me there, okay, now you regret it?" ”
"No, I'm just afraid that the master will be punished when he finds out," Lin Nuonuo stuck out his tongue and said embarrassedly.
Shaking his head, Zhou Yunfei said: "You are the master's favorite apprentice, where is he willing to punish you, what you should be worried about is me, once the master knows that I took you to Jiannan Road secretly, I don't know how to clean me up."
"Oh, I can't care so much, who asked the master to go to Jiannan Road and didn't take us, when we went directly, they wouldn't be able to drive us back, no, and I will intercede for you, senior brother" Lin Nuonuo patted his bulging chest and said.
Zhou Yunfei looked away, his eyes flickered, and said, "Okay, it's not early, let's rest early, I have to hurry tomorrow morning."
Looking at the back of Lin Nuonuo leaving, Zhou Yunfei groaned slightly, and he didn't know what he was thinking, so he immediately went to rest.
On the other side, where the Leng family sisters and brothers were, Leng Qingsong frowned and looked at Leng Qinglin and said in a stiff tone: "Sister, why did you take the initiative to bring that Liu Xiu?" Is it possible to really believe that he is a healer? It's obviously cumbersome."
When he spoke, his sister bit hard.
Leng Qinglin didn't seem to realize his displeasure at all, and said indifferently: "I see that Luo Bing seems to want to find someone to join anyway, so it's just a favor, and the tone makes Luo Bing recruit a stranger of unknown origin who is not weak, it is better to be that Liu Xiu, at least he can minimize the accident, I am thinking about you, young master, what do you think?" ”
"Don't call me young master outside, call me brother, okay, even if you say it, that's it, let's go to practice first" Leng Qingsong frowned, and then turned around and left.
Looking at Leng Qingsong's departing back, a trace of entanglement flashed in Leng Qinglin's eyes, sighed lightly, and turned around silently......
Regarding the reactions of all of them, Liu Xiucai didn't have time to pay attention to it, and slept peacefully, meeting these people was just a coincidence, it didn't matter to Liu Xiu, whether he could go to Jiannan Road together was not a big problem, but it was just the difference between being bored and not being bored and a group of people.
The next morning, under the influence of the fixed biological clock, Liu Xiu woke up early, and routinely did what he would do every morning.
However, what made him a little speechless was that those people had clearly said that they would leave early in the morning yesterday, but after he had finished washing up and practicing his body cultivation exercises many times, he was sleepy-eyed and the sun jumped out of the horizon.
It is worth mentioning that Liu Xiu followed the waves along the Nutao River in the past few months, and his understanding of the martial arts will water has become deeper, and he does not know the specific extent, and there is no reference.
This made him a little entangled, obviously he is a cultivator, why is he going farther and farther on the road of martial arts? A spell can't be released, but as a result, it is getting stronger and stronger in martial arts hand-to-hand combat......
"Brother Liu, so early," Luo Bing said as he rubbed his eyes and yawned.
Stopping the soothing movements, Liu Xiu himself is also a lazy character, and he didn't bother with them getting up late, and responded with a smile: "It's okay, I didn't get up for long"
At this time, Luo Bing patted his head, completely sobered up, and said, "Brother Liu, if they get up, wait a while, I'll go and prepare something."
Dropping such a sentence, this guy left in a hurry.
After a while, the others also got up one after another, Liu Xiu conveyed Luo Bing's words, asking everyone to wait, and the others didn't say anything about it, they waited patiently, but they didn't wait, they were all making preparations before departure.
It didn't take long for Luo Bing to come back, followed by a group of hotel juniors, who sent a lot of exquisite dishes.
This place is located in Nanhai Road, most of the food is seafood, the taste is mainly sweet and sour, salty, because although the food of Luojia Restaurant is quite exquisite, Liu Xiu is also a little unaccustomed to eating, and put down the chopsticks after a little eating.
Luo Bing and they are all martial arts practitioners, and they have a big appetite, seeing that they can't finish eating for a while, Liu Xiu said hello and left the small courtyard temporarily.
didn't go far, Liu Xiu found the hotel's junior two, like they asked for some spices and other things.
When he was ready, Luo Bing and the others had eaten almost enough, and then Luo Bing waved his hand to indicate that everyone would go with him.
The group came to a street behind the restaurant, where there were eight horses lined up, each no less than two meters high, black as ink, but the position of the four hooves was snow-white.
"This is Momei's snow horse, each one is worth 10,000 gold, 5,000 miles a day is no longer a problem, through the mountains and rivers like walking on the ground, with them, although this to Jiannan Road is not less than 100,000 miles, in addition to the rest time on the way, we can also arrive within a month, how about everyone, you are quite satisfied with my arrangement, right?" Robin spoke as he stood in front of a steed.
"Luo Gongzi has a heart," Leng Qinglin said with a smile.
Lin Haojie stroked one of the horses and sighed: "It is worthy of Brother Luo, the Momei Treading Snow worth 10,000 gold is eight horses as soon as it is shot, I have been longing for it for a long time, I didn't expect to have the opportunity to ride it in person."
"Hahaha, this is nothing, it's a long way to go to the mountains, everyone takes care of each other," Luo Bing obviously said proudly.
However, at this time, Liu Xiu was thinking about it, although this horse is good, the question is what to eat on the way? It's impossible to eat stones and travel 5,000 miles a day, right? The more expensive the BMW, the more it needs to be fed well, do you know how to take care of this kind of horse?
Liu Xiu didn't say this question, so as not to offend people, and see what they do when the time comes.
"Eh, I forgot to ask, Brother Liu, you are not a martial arts practitioner, can you ride a horse?" Seeing Liu Xiu groaning, Luo Bing thought of this stubble and asked.
If Liu Xiu can't ride a horse, he will be annoyed, not only will it drag them down, even if they ride reluctantly, it will be a bad old sin, and the eggs will have to be ground......
For this problem, other people also looked at it together, even Lin Nuonuo, who secretly scolded Luo Bing's defeated family.
"Don't worry, I can ride horses, and my riding skills are not bad, well, these horses are also very docile, I have no problem" Liu Xiu patted a horse next to him and smiled.
As he spoke, the horse actually took the initiative to rub him as friendly, and even a little flattering.
In many cases, animals are much more intuitive than humans.
Luo Bing and they were surprised to see this scene, you must know that although this Momei is good at stepping on the snow, but her personality is arrogant, ordinary people don't talk about riding, even if she gets close, she can kick you away with a hoof, although it is a horse, but those who practice physical martial arts are not opponents, only those who are advanced in cultivation can surrender, but at this time, the horse next to Liu Xiu is so docile that it is really incomprehensible.
Seeing that they were all looking at themselves, Liu Xiu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Maybe this horse is already very docile, and then, shouldn't we set off?" ”
"Yes, yes, let's go......"
They glanced at each other, but they didn't understand the reason, so they simply didn't bother with this stubble, and turned over one by one, with a high-spirited attitude, as if they would definitely be able to make a name for themselves when they went to Jiannan Road.
"Ah......" Riding on the horse, Luo Bing held the reins in one hand and looked ahead, and suddenly opened his voice, he seemed to want to say something to express his feelings, but he was stuck.
It's a joke, right? Liu Xiu, who was riding on the horse, was speechless.
"Departure," Lin Haojie, who was carrying a longbow, rode forward to break the embarrassment.
So, the group rode through the city on horseback and headed towards Jiannan Road with envious eyes.
It took them half an hour to leave Sands City, and there was a wide loess road in front of them, probably because they finally rode such a BMW, Lin Yingying couldn't help but be the first to ride a horse and gallop, attracting others to chase after them.
Where they passed, Liu Xiu was a billowing pile of smoke and dust on the loess road, and some pedestrians who couldn't avoid it secretly scolded their mothers.
It's rare to ride a horse, Liu Xiu also feels novel, learn them to ride a horse and gallop, feel it is actually like that, I can't experience the feeling of galloping at all, seeing the rise of their rush, Liu Xiu is not easy to fall behind, so he has to ride a horse to keep up, fortunately, the horse he sat down is docile, almost knows what Liu Xiu is thinking, and he doesn't need Liu Xiu to control anything to keep up with himself, and it is very stable and does not feel many bumps.
In this regard, Liu Xiu had to sigh that this is worthy of BMW.
Well, there is a chance to take Xiao Hei out and slip around, thinking about the majesty that is more powerful than riding this horse, such a thought flashed in Liu Xiu's mind, and he just thought about it, and he had no intention of putting it into action.
After saying it for so long, I don't know if Xiao Hei has grown up again......
The time came to noon, Liu Xiu and others had already left Jinsha City hundreds of miles away, after the initial interest passed, and the road behind was not very easy to walk, their speed slowed down, especially the hot sun hanging in the sky, except for Liu Xiu, they all looked a little embarrassed.
"Brother Liu, not only can you keep up with our footwork, but you don't even sweat?" Luo Bing wiped the sweat from his head, looked at Liu Xiu beside him and said in surprise.
"Maybe it's because of my physique, I rarely sweat" Liu Xiu said casually, whether he believed it or not, anyway, he believed it.
The others paid a little attention to Liu Xiu and didn't say anything, the youngest of them, Lin Nuonuo, was obviously a little impatient with the boring journey, and muttered: "Let's find a place to rest, it's still early to go to Jiannan Road, don't rush at this time."
"It's okay, then let's find a place to rest, and eat something by the way" Zhou Feiyun said at the right time, obviously taking care of Lin Nuonuo, a junior sister.
Although others had the heart to refute, Zhou Feiyun was also reasonable, so he could only find a place to rest and eat something first.
After a while, they found a place to rest, but the question was what to eat? There is no shop in front of the village in the wilderness.
The eldest Lin Haojie hesitated a little and said: "I'll go hunting, you pick up firewood first and light the fire, and wait for the barbecue to eat."
"But which of you knows how to barbecue?"
Lin Haojie's younger brother Lin Yingying said a word, and he immediately paused.
So a few people, you look at me, I look at you......
"Well, I'll order cooking, or wait for me to barbecue? It just so happens that I even have seasonings prepared here," Liu Xiu said at the right time.
Hearing Liu Xiu say this, although they were still suspicious, they were obviously relieved and not so embarrassed, so they got busy......
Tsk, a bunch of problem children, just go to Jiannan Road, go home as soon as possible, Liu Xiu muttered in his heart while preparing the seasoning.
It's not that Liu Xiu has to care about their eating, after all, it's a group now, and he has to do something.
Not long after, the bonfire was raised, and Lin Haojie directly dragged a three-meter-long wild boar back, and the wild boar had a bloody hole in its right eye, which was obviously killed by an arrow.
Next, a group of people looked at Liu Xiu with blank eyes.
Looking at the big wild boar, Liu Xiu said: "There is no water around, but the problem is not big, the wild boar is big enough, a sitting pier and retreat is enough for us to eat, just peel the skin and barbecue, who will lend me a knife?" ”
"Brother Liu, use mine," Lin Yingying raised his eyebrows and handed Liu Xiu a knife.
took the knife, looked at it a little, and it was very sharp at a glance, and then Liu Xiu was busy with his hands and feet, unloading the wild boar sitting on the pier, peeling the skin, changing the knife, applying seasonings, and roasting it on the fire, and the fragrance came out after a while.
Luo Bing swallowed his saliva, came to Liu Xiu's side and said in surprise: "Brother Liu, you can, this will be?" ”
"Hehe, I'm not as good as you, I'm used to living alone, and everything has to be fine" Liu Xiu turned over and over the roast wild boar and smiled, then looked up, looked at them and said, "We have something to eat, but what do horses eat?" ”
“……”
Everyone looked at each other again, they didn't think about this stubble at all.
"Don't horses eat grass?" Lin Nuonuo said cautiously.
Zhou Feiyun coughed and said: "Senior sister, horses eat grass well, but horses like Momei Taxue need to be fed with good grass, even beans and meatloaf, otherwise they will lose fat and can't run, and no matter how good the horse is after a long time, it will be wasted."
"What then?" Lin Nuonuo asked stupidly.
Luo Bing said embarrassedly: "It's okay, let's find a town to feed well, and then prepare some forage."
Liu Xiu concentrated on the barbecue, and said that he had to find the town.
Then everyone was so embarrassed, but fortunately, it didn't take long for Liu Xiu's barbecue to be ready, and those guys were not idle, they had already cut down trees and chopped wooden planks to serve as tableware.
I have to say that Liu Xiu's craftsmanship is still good, dozens of catties of wild boars sit on the pier and eat down, Luo Bing and others are obviously a little unsatisfied.
It's not his own son, Liu Xiu won't get used to them, he didn't have the idea of continuing to barbecue at all, he ate enough barbecue and took care of himself in the shade of the tree, and said in his heart that this is where to follow, the road behind you have suffered, the simplest point, you sweated so much, are you ready for water? Thirst will not kill you......
Thinking about Liu Xiu, I think it's funny, these guys really think that going to the rivers and lakes is going green, and sleeping in the open is always the main theme, and there is no obligation to remind them that Liu Xiu is happy to see their jokes.
At this time, Lin Nuonuo got up with a red face and walked quickly to the side.
"Senior sister, where are you going?" Zhou Yunfei immediately asked.
"I'll go and make it easier" dropped this sentence, and Lin Nuonuo seemed to have to run away.
Then, less than half a minute, Lin Nuonuo's crying scream was heard in the distance......
