Chapter 111: Meet the Caravan
When the sun is about to set in the west, several people climb to the top of a wooded mountain, and in the afterglow of the sun, the surrounding plants appear to be dark and light, and the layers are distinct, and the scenery is particularly beautiful.
It's just that a few people grew up in the mountains and forests, and they don't care about such scenery at all. At the foot of the mountain, a winding avenue stretched forward, attracting their attention.
The crooked avenue, which had not stretched far, was blocked by a mountain in front of it, and it was impossible to see where the road extended.
When the mountain tiger saw it, he still became excited, and shouted: "Brother Tieying, I know this road, it leads to Yitian City, isn't it? Red Dragon, we're almost there?"
Menghuan Red Dragon turned his head to look at Menghuan Iron Eagle, because he had never been to Heavenly City and didn't know where this road leads, so someone had to give him accurate information.
Meng Huan Tieying was very calm, caressed his sweaty body by the mountain wind, looked at the road carefully, slowly showed a smile on his face, looked back at a few of them, and said: "This is the road to Yitian City, only the road leading to Yitian City in this area is a big road, and if you go down this road, you can get to Yitian City." ”
When the mountain tiger heard this, he laughed and shouted, "Yitian City, we are finally going to Yitian City, rush!" The voice echoed in the mountains and forests.
I don't know if it was because the emotions of the Menghuan Mountain Tiger infected them, or because they were about to arrive in Yitian City, several people were in a relaxed mood, each showed their own skills, and rushed down from the top of the mountain with a roar, and even the Menghuan Leopard, who didn't like to talk, followed behind the Menghuanshan Tiger and screamed happily.
Along the way, they not only worked hard, but also fought to the death, and carried a lot of pressure. Now approaching the city of Etien, they released this pressure and allowed themselves to gain a kind of relaxation.
A few people rushed onto the avenue, as if they were running in the direction of Yitian City, and just turned a mountain mouth, the Menghuan Mountain Tiger who rushed in front stopped, and looked back at the few people behind them.
I saw a group of people walking quietly on the road ahead, and there were about dozens of them, lined up in a long line of snakes, escorting a dozen carts dragged by red deer and walking slowly.
Most of these people were armed with weapons, and when their group appeared, a dozen or so men drew their weapons, slowed down, stayed behind, and looked at them vigilantly, as if they were on guard against them.
Meng Huan Chilong and they were also stunned, and involuntarily withdrew their body methods and returned to their normal state, while slowing down, clenching the weapons in their hands, and looking at each other vigilantly, the whole scene was a little tense.
Because they have a mission, they naturally keep their distance without knowing the details of these people, slowly follow behind, and check on the situation of these people.
Although a few of them were left behind, the whole team continued to move forward, swaggering in the middle of the road, blocking the entire road and making it impossible for the people behind to pass normally.
I don't know if these people are so high-flying and domineering, or because no one walks on the road, they have developed the habit of walking like this.
Menghuan Tieying looked at it for a while, then approached Menghuan Chilong's side and whispered: "These people should be the caravan of Yitian City, you see that the carts are loaded with mountain goods, not people from the upright dynasty." ”
Meng Huanshan Tiger immediately answered. "They're witches, why are they guarding us?"
Meng Huan Chilong didn't speak, and looked carefully at the team in front of him, he didn't want to reach Yitian City soon, but there was still some accident, so he was more cautious and didn't rush through these people.
I saw that there were more than a dozen carts in the queue in front, and the carts were piled up with bundles of animal skins and herbs, and some things were wrapped in animal skin bags, I don't know what was inside, and then I looked at the red deer pulling the cart a few more times.
This kind of mountain beast is rare in the mountain forest, and it is said that it is only found near the grassland. They are characterized by being docile and easy to maintain, have good endurance, and run very fast, so they often do the work of pulling carts.
There are no such things as carts in the mountains and forests, and the people in the mountains basically use the caravans, such as going into the city to exchange daily necessities, and the camel wood in the mountains and forests is made of the caravans.
The beast is shaped like a goat, but it is much taller than a goat, about the size of an ox, has no horns, can carry heavy loads, is good at running in the mountains and forests, and has agile movements, even on mountain cliffs. The main beast is a herbivore, and the cost of raising it is much lower, so people in the mountains use the beast camel.
It was also based on the red deer of the cart that Meng Huan Tieying judged that these people were the caravan of Yitian City, and they should have been rushing back to Yitian City after purchasing goods from the mountains and forests.
Several people followed behind this group of people for a while, and Meng Huanshan Hu was a little impatient, and said: "It's getting dark, when can this slow man enter the city? ”
Menghuan Chilong also has this meaning, because of the big car, the person in front of him walks very slowly. And they were very reluctant to use their skills, and hurried to the Heavenly City.
He was just about to speak, when he saw a middle-aged man standing on the road in front of him, followed by four people.
The middle-aged man was nine feet tall, looked very athletic, wore a white gown, his long hair was tied by something, so that it was obediently draped behind his head, and he had a dark and thin face, but he had a beard like a tiger, but his eyes were very shrewd. Carrying a pair of silver shovels on his back, he was watching them warily.
After seeing them, he smiled and saluted: "We are from the Lei Clan Trading House in Heavenly City, I wonder what advice a few brothers have to follow us?"
Meng Huan Chilong returned the salute and smiled: "I don't have any advice, it's just that I have something urgent to rush to Yitian City, but you occupy the road and can't go over for a while." ”
The middle-aged man turned around and took a look, his face was a little flushed, there had been no one on this road, so they walked sideways, but they didn't expect to block the way of the people behind them, but they made them have a false alarm.
"I'm sorry, I told them to get out of the way. The middle-aged man politely bowed to show his humility, and then shouted. The people from the Lei Firm listened and gave way to the brothers behind. ”
The caravan men heard the shouting and did make way for a passage, but they also stopped and held their weapons in their hands.
This action caused a sound of weapons grinding on the road, and those who drew their weapons stared at them deadly. It seemed that at the slightest act of rashness, the crowd would rush up and pile them into a pulp.
Such a formation has never been seen by the people in the cottage, so a few people were startled, but they were not afraid in their hearts, how to say that they also broke out of the pile of dead people.
It's just that a few people hesitated to go over, this past seems a bit risky, the fight is a trivial matter, and if you don't get it and be cut down, it will be too wrong.
When they hesitated, the middle-aged man made a gesture of please, and after thinking for a moment, he took the lead and walked over.
In his thoughts, these Wu people would not do it easily, and even if they did, he was not afraid of these people now. What's more, this is just a group of businessmen, and it is their instinct to protect their property, so there is such a formation.
Only when the tiger passed by the middle-aged man, he made a joke. "Don't be so nervous, there are only four of us, and such a loud voice will scare people to death. ”
The middle-aged man didn't speak, just smiled politely, and didn't ask those people to take back their weapons, but silently followed behind them, as if to send them over, in fact, to guard against them.
The remaining few Menghuan tribesmen, seeing Menghuan Red Dragon walking forward, did not hesitate to follow, passing through those who were carrying weapons. But they are always vigilant and ready to do it at any time.
Because no one is sure that these people will suddenly attack, if they do something with these people inexplicably, it will be really bad luck, especially since the red dragon can't lose anything. So through a line of dozens of people, they walked very slowly.
When they came to the front of the caravan, they saw a large cart full of goods, but there was an old man in his sixties, who looked white and fat, especially a big belly was very conspicuous, and he looked like a rich man.
The old man's appearance was typical of the body shape of the Wu tribe, tall and strong, and although his hair was gray, he had a pair of black beards. A rosy face looked at them with a smile.
When the old man swept the weapon in the hand of Meng Winding Red Dragon, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he suddenly shouted enthusiastically. "Brave war witch, looking at your dusty appearance, you should have gone through a long journey, please stop and drink water and rest!"
Meng Huan Chilong glanced at a few people around him, and found that he was indeed dusty, although he changed his clothes and took a bath. But after running in the mountains and forests for a long time, his clothes had already scratched the branches and stones, and he looked tattered, and his face and body were covered with sweat, and there were some dried blood stains, and the whole person looked gray.
But he didn't want to get into trouble now, so he didn't answer.
I saw that on the cart the old man was sitting on, a two-foot-sized pennant was planted, and there was a big word "thunder" on it, which I thought was the head of the caravan.
Menghuan Mountain Tiger didn't think like him, he just ate some wild fruits along the way, and his mouth had long been tasteless, so he replied with a big grin.
"Old man, thank you for your kindness, while rewarding the boy to drink saliva, if you reward another piece of meat, it will be even more grateful. After he said this, his stomach rang a few times.
Maybe it was because he was about to reach Yitian City, and when he relaxed, he felt hungry and thirsty, and the red dragon felt the same way, and he couldn't help but slow down.
He was hesitating to accept the old man's kindness.
The old man sitting in the cart laughed and said, "Well, brave war witch, how can you drink only water? I have good wine and a large piece of meat, please eat and drink openly." ”
When Meng Huanshan Tiger heard this, he was a little excited, and he was about to speak when he took a step.
Meng Huan Chilong was quite calm, and he didn't want to make any extraneous branches at this time, so he hurriedly said: "Old man, we just want some water and some food, because we are in a hurry, and there is something to do in the city, so the wine will be exempted, thank you for the kindness of the old man." ”
Naturally, the Menghuan Mountain Tiger would not object, and several of them considered themselves followers of the Menghuan Red Dragon, and they had to obey the orders of the Menghuan Red Dragon. So he rolled his eyes and stepped back.
The Wu men are the ones who like wine and meat the most, and it can be said that there is no wine and no joy, and no meat is not eaten. It's remarkable that you can restrain yourself in such a hungry situation.
