Chapter Eighty-Nine: The Caravan

There must be a period of time when going out to practice, which is very boring and boring, and now Zheng Fang and his party are undoubtedly in this state. After four or five days in a row, when you are hungry, you will eat the leftover tiger meat, and when you are tired, you will find a relatively empty place to rest. During the rest, you can also rest in a meditative posture, and only in this way can you rest and practice at the same time.

However, although the days are boring, Zheng Fang is obviously content. Because in his previous life, since he escaped from Ice Heart City, he was a real person who was training outside. It's okay to go to an unfamiliar city, at least you can know what humans look like and what languages they speak, but most of the time they live like a beast.

Day and night, he deals with birds and animals, and eats almost the same as primitive people. As far as this life is concerned, this cultivation is at least accompanied by two extremely good brothers, so it will not be that he has not said a word for several years in a row.

"Why is there less and less game in this deep mountain and old forest? If this continues, it is estimated that we will all have to become vegetarians!" Sima Feixuan complained. Originally, he thought that he would have a different taste after the days of hunting, but now the food is becoming more and more scarce, and his stomach is not as good as fighting day by day, and if he continues like this, his sturdy body will be almost as hungry as Zheng Flail.

"Now that autumn is on, some animals will hoard food for the winter, and we, as advanced species, naturally cannot compete with wild species. I suggest that all the food in the future be distributed to eliminate waste. In addition, we must make reasonable use of the third child's stone, and pick up the wild fruits and store them in the road when we see them. ”

Hong Mingtian thought that his control was not bad, at least he would not act like someone stealing food, and immediately glanced at Sima Feixuan beside him.

The three of them walked on the sheep intestine path, and in the past four or five days, they had already walked a distance of about a hundred miles, but if they wanted to go further, they were afraid that they were so hungry that they didn't have the strength. After some deliberation, the three of them decided to use the last piece of meat as bait to lure the prey into the bait.

But God didn't seem to favor them, and for a whole day, no creature approached, and even the three of them thought that they had strayed into a death zone......

Just when Sima Feixuan was so hungry that he didn't have the strength to stand up, a group of people slowly walked in the distance in front of him, of course, it was impossible to tell whether it was a human or a heretic. The three of them hid in a dense bush, waiting for them to pass.

After a long time, this slender passage was occupied by small caravans. At the head of the line was a sturdy man. The man was undressed, his bronzed skin stood out in stark contrast to the white horse beneath him, and his muscles stood like an orangutan.

Behind him, there were two teams of guards walking side by side, and there were as many as ten people when carefully calculated. The guards were armed with steel guns and dressed in fine armor, and behind the guards, two pairs of carriages were driven, and on the carriages were four large boxes. Behind these large boxes, they were also protected by a pair of guards, and behind the guards followed a sturdy man on a white horse.

It was obvious that such a team was in charge of escorting the shipment. Seeing that the comer was a human, Sima Feixuan hurriedly blocked their way. When everyone saw that a person suddenly popped up, they immediately held their guns and shields, and made a posture of preparing for battle, and the atmosphere suddenly burned.

Seeing Sima Feixuan so reckless, Hong Mingtian immediately rushed out and grabbed him, so that he would not behave more humiliatingly. Looking at this formation, Zheng Yu shook his head helplessly, muttering in his heart whether these two people had lived for twenty years in vain? Fortunately, the other party was a human being, if it was a demon, the three of them would have turned into three corpses by now!

The naked man at the head frowned. Seeing that it was just three little children, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief in my heart, like those who did their job, I was afraid that someone would suddenly come and rob them halfway.

"Get out of the way, don't get in the way of your grandfather!" the naked man shouted in a thick voice.

"Don't get me wrong, big brother, we came out of Ice Heart City to train, and we originally wanted to go to Sunset City, but due to someone's mistake, we took a useless map, so we lost our way here. Fortunately, I was fortunate enough to meet the eldest brothers here, so the younger brother dared to ask the eldest brothers for some food and water, so that we could continue our journey. ”

made a gesture of arching his hand to show respect, and Hong Mingtian asked a few men for supplies in a very childish manner.

The naked man was silent for a moment, as if thinking about something. Originally, he wanted to kill these ignorant boys, but he didn't expect the three of them to come from Ice Heart City. Looking at the costumes of the three of them, they don't look like any poor people, especially the wrench in Zheng Fang's hand and the folding fan in Hong Mingtian's hand......

"You're from Iceheart, but what proof do you have?"

The three of them glanced at each other, thinking that after explaining their basic situation to him, if he was kind, he might give him a little food and water, but they didn't expect him to ask such a question, which really puzzled the three of them, but even so, they had to answer truthfully.

"This eldest brother, younger brother, I am Hong Mingtian of the Hong family of Ice Heart City, and his father is the current patriarch Hong Xin; this is the descendant of the Zheng family of Ice Heart City, his father is Zheng Jiliao, the leader of the Zheng family, Zheng Yingming, and this is Sima Feixuan, the young master of the Sima family. Big brother, do you have any other questions you would like to ask? If I knew, I would know everything. ”

Hong Mingtian's attitude was very polite, which made the naked man satisfied, but he was also amazed that the three of them had such a deep background, and a warm smile appeared on his face at the moment.

"It turned out to be the three young masters of Ice Heart City, since you called me big brother, of course I have to help you with your difficulties. Coincidentally, our batch of lime mortar and glutinous rice lime mortar is going to be shipped to Iceheart City, and we don't have that much food to distribute to you, so I can take you back to the city if you want. ”

"This ...... Isn't that right? We've only been out for half a month and we're back, and we guess we're going to have to make the adults laugh. Hong Mingtian smiled bitterly, he hadn't forgotten what Hong Xin said before he left.

"Sunset City is far from Ice Heart City, and you happen to be lost, young master, if you don't go back and find a new map, if you want to reach your destination, you can hardly do it in a year and a half. ”

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all felt that this was reasonable, so they followed the naked man's meaning and returned to Ice Heart City with them.

Inquired on the road and learned that the four boxes of goods drawn by this team of people were officially the materials for the construction of "Ascending to the Sky" on the side of Ice Heart City, but these four boxes were far from enough, because Ice Heart City did not have the technology to make lime mortar and glutinous rice lime slurry, so it had to be purchased in other cities, which would be a big expense for Ice Heart City.

In the procession to return to the city, the mood of the three of them can be described as uneasy, after all, they were sent back before they came out for ten days, if it was passed out, it was estimated that they would be contracted for half a year in Ice Heart City.

But after all, we have to start from a realistic point of view. Since there is no precise map, this is a must-go.

......

At the gate of Ice Heart City, four middle-aged people lined up one after another, looking into the distance, as if sighing something. Looking at the appearance of the four people, it was Nangu, Zheng Jiliao, Hong Xin, and Grand Elder Sima in the city.

"Alas. On the fifteenth day of Xiaoxiao's departure, I missed her. ”

"Alas. On the sixteenth day of the flail's departure, I missed him. ”

"Alas. "On the sixteenth day of Ming Tian's departure, I missed him. ”

"The sixteenth day of one person controlling the whole clan, it's really cool!" Great Elder Sima said this casually, which immediately attracted the eyes of the other three to stare at him tightly, feeling that he had said something inappropriate, Grand Elder Sima swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "On the sixteenth day of Fei Xuan's departure, I missed him. ”

"What do you think you do?" said the three of them in unison.

The three of them were outside the city for nothing else, they were waiting for the materials to be transported from Fengxin City to build "Ascending to the Sky", but they hadn't come yet, and they were just thinking about the children who had left the city.

The sunset in early autumn is like a man in the prime of life who is beginning to enter old age, and his energy slowly fades. The skin of the four middle-aged people was dried and peeled by the afterglow of the sun, but they finally waited for the arrival of the goods.

On the horizon, a head poked out, and then the whole body, including the horse's body, was revealed, and the setting sun seemed to turn into a golden curtain of light, which forcibly stretched out this simple row.

"Don't be lazy, you guys, go and call a dozen people to come and move the goods!" Nangu turned and ordered one of the officers on duty at the watchtower. The hands and feet of the subordinates were all diligent, and before the team of men and horses arrived at the gate of the city, more than 20 people came behind Nangu one after another.

But what they didn't expect was that in this pair of elite teams, there were three hairy boys. It doesn't matter if you say that these three people are other people, but they have left Zheng Fang and the three of them for only half a month! This made the two fathers so angry that they sent them to teach their sons a lesson.

"What are you doing when you come back? Are you homesick, or are you reluctant to endure hardship?" said Zheng Jiliao and Hong Xin almost in unison. His hands have been clenched into fists, ready to be called at any time.

"What's the matter, we brought a useless map with us when we went out, so we couldn't find the route to Sunset City, and when we met this big brother, he said that he was also going to Ice Heart City, so we took his carriage and followed him back to get a new map. We'll leave after taking our things. ”

Among the three, Hong Mingtian is the most face-saving, and he immediately explained for fear of being laughed at by others.

"Okay, then I'll leave it here today, if you don't have any achievements and go back to Ice Heart City, don't blame me for not opening the door for you! My son can't be weaker than others, understand?"
