Act 264 Hitchhiking

"Hitchhiking?"

Bai Gang carefully looked at the three businessmen who were carrying large bags and small bags, and the other party also saw Bai Gang, grinning and beckoning at him.

"Since we still have a place, let's let them come up."

The guard was stunned for a moment, and said in embarrassment: "If this kind of person of unknown origin is an undead assassin......

Bai Gang smiled: "We didn't inform Yunfeng City of our whereabouts, did we?" I guess the Storm Base hasn't been infiltrated by the Cult of the Damned, right? If the lackeys of the undead don't know about our itinerary, how should we arrange the Assassins? ”

"This ...... All right. ”

At Bai Gang's invitation, the three merchants put their luggage on the roof of the carriage, and then Yukan entered the carriage.

The first merchant boarded the carriage and bowed to the white steel as his master: "Thank you for your generosity. ”

Then he held a wood carving in both hands and offered it to White Steel as a small gift.

The other two merchants did the same, but the gifts were exchanged for beautiful shiny stones and dried fruits.

This is a custom on the Anglian continent, when someone on the road reaches out to you and allows you to hitchhike, you must give the owner the corresponding gift, it does not have to be expensive, but you must have your own heart.

The carriage was spacious, and even with three adults sitting side by side, there was no sense of oppression.

"Thank you for giving us a ride, we are both merchants from Xuemu Village, I'm Greg, they're Lorel and CarrΓ©, I don't know if we can be lucky enough to know the name of our benefactor."

"My name is Lynn, and this is my friend." Bai Gang reported his pseudonym, "I have some questions, I don't know if the three of you can answer them?" ”

Greg laughed, "Of course, as long as we know." ”

"If you are merchants, why don't you have cattle to carry goods? Do you have to hitchhike with other caravans along the way? ”

Greg smiled bitterly: "Actually, we used to have carriages, but last year when the undead invaded, we died of exhaustion on the way to escape with the villagers. Although the livestock of the two of them did not die of exhaustion, they were also killed and eaten because of the lack of food when they fled.

Now that the undead have been driven away, and the new lord of Huaguo, Earl Bai, is building roads and clearing out robbers, we think that this year's business should be easier, so we got some village specialties to sell.

But without a carriage, you can only hitchhike with a caravan. ”

Bai Gang said with some surprise: "Then you are really bold, although Earl Bai's troops are indeed already clearing out the robbers and the remnants of the undead, but the number of troops is limited, and it is not possible to complete the complete cleanup in a few months." Aren't you afraid of accidents on the road? ”

Greg spread his hands and said, "Our Xuemu Village has insufficient arable land, and we lost a lot of livestock last year, if we don't want to sell some special Xuemu incense to make money, we won't be able to survive this winter." ”

This time it was Sylne's turn to be surprised.

"Didn't Earl Bai sell a large batch of low-priced grain to Du Ze? Why don't you have anything to eat!? Didn't he keep his promise to sell grain!? ”

Speaking of this, Sylne's eyes looked at Bai Gang a little unkindly.

"No, no, the town next to the village has begun to sell cheap grain from the White Earl, but ...... Even so, if we don't make money, we won't be able to buy enough food to last next year. ”

Bai Gang asked, "But isn't Earl Bai's road construction team recruiting?" ”

Greg smiled and said, "But we think we should be able to make more money selling snow wood incense." ”

Bai Gang and Sylne glanced at each other, neither bothered to continue to dwell on this issue, as long as the supply of low-cost food was sufficient and the employment propaganda at the construction site was in place, then it was their own problem for the people to choose how to make money and buy food.

"But how dare you just find a caravan to ride? I'm kind, but you don't know, what if you run into a caravan that likes to do some banditry? ”

Greg smiled: "If it is Du Ze's caravan, of course we don't dare to wave casually, how can we still insist on the caravan on the days when the undead are raging, how can the caravan be kind, if we see them, we will definitely hide it as soon as possible."

But you're different, you're Chinese! The Chinese people are all good people like Earl Bai, and you won't rob us. ”

Bai Gang smiled dumbly: "How did you come to this conclusion?" I'm afraid you haven't seen a few Chinese, right? ”

"The White Earl is a good man, and he helped us get rid of the undead. I've seen his army, too, and they're all very kind. ”

Sylne asked, "But that doesn't guarantee that the caravans won't rob you?" ”

Greg laughed honestly and said, "The Chinese people can neither fight nor magic, and the strength of the caravan guards is not even as good as the Orions of our village, and they are not the army of the White Earl, and they do not have those powerful Golem legions. Is it difficult to bring such a powerful caravan and rob others? ”

Bai Gang was almost laughed at angrily: "Greg, aren't you afraid that I will kick you down if you say this in front of me!?" ”

Greg smiled: "I'm just telling the truth, Mr. Lin, you really should find some guards in Duze!" Even those professionals don't have much money after years of war, and if you want to, they are much more powerful than your guards! At least they will be vindictive and magical. ”

While they were chatting, the guards outside suddenly came to the window of the car and asked, "There's a village ahead, do you want to take a break there?" ”

Bai Gang looked at the sun and said, "It's not early, if the other party agrees, let's spend the night in the village tonight, and we can do some business." ”

The guard nodded, and rode out of the village, first to discuss the matter of spending the night.

Greg asked curiously, "Do business?" I forgot to ask, Mr. Lin, what is your caravan selling? ”

Bai Gang smiled mysteriously: "We mainly sell happiness and some other gadgets. ”

"Quick...... Happy? ”

Hearing this, the faces of the three of them turned strange.

It didn't take long for the convoy to reach the outskirts of the village, where the road was flanked by large areas of flat farmland, and the peasants were working in the fields with their horses, looking like an idyllic village, which just a few months ago was the worst hit area by the undead, so that even the village of Xuemu, which was not far away, had to flee the village.

Greg looked at the scenery outside with a complicated expression.

"Hoghley Village, ......"

Hearing the name of Hogray Village, the other two backpacker merchants also showed the same complicated expressions.

Without Bai Gang's question, Greg explained to himself: "The lord of Hogray Village is a powerful knight, and any undead who dare to approach the village will be destroyed by him, and he once killed three hundred skeleton soldiers alone!" Because of him, Hogray Village can be so peaceful.

However, he never accepted requests for help from other villages, and we wanted to ask for his protection when we fled from Yukimura, but we refused without even thinking about it. ”
