Volume 5 The Ancient Kingdom of the Western Regions_Chapter 31 Difficulty
Speaking of preparation, I didn't have anything to prepare, and after I went back to the hotel and packed my things, it was almost there.
Before leaving, I said to Xiaomei: "Xiaomei, it is more dangerous to go to Tianshan, I am worried that it will be difficult to take care of you, and there are two masters among those mercenaries, I am worried that they will see that you are a ghost, so you should return to the soul urn and wait." ”
Xiaomei nodded and agreed, and after I put Xiaomei into the soul urn, I set off for the Yili Hotel.
Yili Hotel is the largest hotel in Yili, in the city center, I took a taxi over, after arriving at the hotel, Bai Jingqi was waiting downstairs, saw me with Xiaodouzi, Bai Jingqi said: "Aren't you three people?" And what about the other one? ”
I said, "It may be dangerous to go to the Tianshan Mountains here, so as not to cause trouble to everyone, so I left her behind." ”
Bai Jingqi nodded and said, "You'd better not take this child with you, I really don't understand, why are you going to Tianshan Mountain and taking this child with you." ”
Xiaodouzi was innocent, clenched his fists and said, "Uncle, I'm very powerful." ”
Bai Jingqi smiled dumbly, but he didn't say anything, and gradually, everyone arrived. Since I didn't even have a single star, the team members didn't like me very well, especially the horse-faced man named Zhang Dong and the short man named Duane, who simply disdained me.
I'm too lazy to bother with them, as long as I find Thousand Souls Peak, I'll part ways with them.
Our team has a total of eight people, the captain is Chen Zhicheng, a three-star mercenary, and the vice captain is naturally a blonde foreign beauty Aiqina. Chen Zhicheng is actually a man of the Han nationality, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, about 1.8 meters tall, he looks mighty and strong, and his weapon is also a sword.
Bai Jingqi first asked everyone to introduce themselves and get to know each other. We waited for a while, and the employer appeared, and unexpectedly, the employer was a man and a woman, both of whom were not too old. The woman is estimated to be twenty-five or sixteen years old, with exquisite facial features and a noble temperament, and the man is thirty years old, and they themselves have two bodyguards.
We're 12 people in our line.
The man and the woman looked at us, and when they saw Xiaodouzi and me, the woman frowned and said, "Why is there still a child?" ”
Bai Jingqi immediately said: "Time is a little rushed. I couldn't find eight people for a while, but this brother was willing to go, so he called him. If you're not satisfied, I'm not going to let him join the team. ”
Zhang Dong mocked again and said, "Drag the oil bottle." ”
The male employer waved his hand and said, "Forget it, it's too late." Let's go, but the ugly words are ahead, you are all adventurous mercenaries, you should know the danger of going to the Tianshan Mountains, and you also know the rules, if something happens, we are not responsible, and we can take whoever you want. ”
I breathed a sigh of relief, but luckily this guy didn't embarrass me.
I thought I would leave the next day, but I immediately set off from Yili, because there was still some distance from Ili to the Tianshan Mountains, and my employer specially chartered a small tour bus, and we took the car all the way.
Chen Zhicheng sat in the scene, closed his eyes and recuperated, and didn't talk much, sitting next to me was a woman in the team, I remember her name was Nanqing, although her appearance was not the kind of country and city, but it was also eye-catching, but it may be due to frequent travel, wind and sun, her skin is a little dark.
The car departed from Yili, and when night fell, we had reached the foot of the Tianshan Mountains, which were endless, with strange peaks towering, and the majestic Tianshan Mountains were already close in front of us.
The captain Chen Zhicheng didn't talk much, and Bai Jingqi was in charge of the deployment, so that everyone brought the necessary items and prepared to enter the mountain. Nan Qing said at this time: "The mountain road is not easy to walk this day, there are many wild beasts at night, do we really have to rush overnight?" ”
The horse-faced man Zhang Dong said: "We are all adventurous mercenaries, what is it to rush at night?" Don't dare to walk at night, is it still an adventurous mercenary? ”
Nan Qing's face was a little embarrassed and she didn't speak, I frowned, this Zhang Dong is too arrogant, generally this kind of person doesn't live long, I really don't know how he survived until now.
The Tianshan Mountains are located in the extreme west, the climate here is a little cold, it is now summer, except for some peaks that are snowy all year round, there are still some small hills at the bottom of the mountains that are not covered with snow, but when you enter the Tianshan Mountains, you still feel that the temperature has dropped a lot compared to the outside.
Captain Chen Zhicheng walked in the front, the employer walked in the middle, Xiaodouzi and I were the worst, so we were naturally arranged to go last, this is still the periphery of the Tianshan Mountain Range, and the road is relatively easy to walk, but the more you go inside, the mountain road is a little difficult to walk, but fortunately, this is not a difficult thing for those of us who cultivate.
Unfortunately, the female employer accidentally sprained her foot, and the team had to stop and choose a suitable place to rest, and everyone rested in place.
Fortunately, the female employer only had a slight sprain, Nanqing knew medical skills, and after showing it to her, she said that it was no big deal, but it is estimated that she will not be able to walk tonight, otherwise the foot injury may be aggravated. The male employer had no choice but to order everyone to rest in place.
Bai Jingqi called me and said, "You come with me, let's go and sprinkle some medicinal powder around, so as not to harass snakes, insects, rats and ants." After doing all this work, a bonfire had been lit on the spot, Chen Zhicheng didn't like to talk, and sat on the side, holding a wine bottle and drinking wine one by one.
Ai Qina is the only foreign beauty, Zhang Dong is close to this guy, but Ai Qina is obviously reluctant to deal with him, but she is bored with herself, but Nan Qing likes Xiaodouzi very much, and teases Xiaodouzi on the side.
Zhang Dong was bored with himself, and he had no place to vent his anger, so he said to me: "Boy, you go over there and fetch me some water, and by the way, you are picking up some dry firewood and coming back to make a fire." ”
Before I could speak, Xiaodouzi said a little unhappily, "Why don't you go by yourself?" My dad isn't your little brother. ”
Zhang Dong said disdainfully: "Little brat, what do you know." This is called making the best use of things, your father doesn't even have a star, if he wants to follow us to make meritorious deeds, he must do miscellaneous work, otherwise what will we do with him. ”
Duane also said beside him: "Brother Dong has a point, boy, go quickly." ”
Nan Qing was a little overwhelmed, and said: "Since everyone is in a team, they are all equal, you have to help each other, don't be too embarrassed." ”
Zhang Dong said: "Nanqing, don't look at this guy who looks a little handsome, he is a nymphomaniac, he is just a drag of oil bottles, and he is not a teammate at all." Nan Qing's face turned red when she was said, and she stood up angrily and said, "What do you say, you'd better keep your mouth clean." Zhang Dong said arrogantly: "Did I say something wrong? I saw that the handsome guy was a nymphomaniac, right? ”
I saw that Xiaodouzi was a little angry, clenched his little fist, I quickly gave a look and stood up. At this time, the captain Chen Zhicheng said: "What is the noise? Who, you go and pick up some dry firewood. ”
I nodded and said, "Yes, Captain." "I picked up a water bottle next to me and went to fetch water and collect dry firewood. Xiaodouzi followed me and pouted, "Daddy, how they always bully you, it's really annoying." ”
I touched his head and said, "Just think it's a dog barking, don't just mess with me." Little Douzi waved his little fist and grinned: "They hate it, Little Douzi really wants to teach them a lesson." ”
I picked up dry firewood and fetched water and went back, but Zhang Dong and Du An didn't embarrass me anymore, and everyone rested in place. It's the outskirts of the mountains, and there's nothing dangerous.
There was nothing to say all night, and early the next morning, after everyone had breakfast, they continued to set off. Before leaving, Zhang Dong stopped me and said, "Boy, my bag, you help me carry it, in case of any danger in the future, I will take care of you." ”
I frowned, I kept silent, this guy was a little bit of a stretch. I said, "You don't need to take care of it, you can carry it yourself." ”
Zhang Dong suddenly felt that he couldn't hold his face, and everyone could see that this guy was deliberately embarrassing me, he said: "Don't obey the arrangement? Then don't follow us, do you understand team spirit? People like you are incapable and disobedient to the arrangement, don't drag us down when the time comes! ”
I don't want to be irritable now, and after so many things, I won't get angry easily. I didn't bother to argue with this guy, so I took the bag in his hand, and Duane also joined in the fun at this time and said, "Take mine on your back." ”
Nan Qing was a little overwhelmed by the side and said, "Duan, don't go too far." Bai Jingqi also came out and said, "Okay, hurry up and get ready to go on the road, Duane, carry your things on your back." ”
Duane glanced at me with some resentment, but Zhang Dong looked proud.
