Chapter 228: Speculation
"Don't worry, the Rubing Master I invited is not just for use. The fat ball merchant said casually.
"Also, if the Ice Master is here, there is no problem. The rest of the team leaders were also a little relieved.
"Daddy. ”
Suddenly, a young girl ran up on the side of the cart, twenty or eight years old, wearing a white dress, highlighting her unbearable waist and slightly bulging breasts.
A pair of white and slender round legs are exposed from under the skirt, with good white deerskin boots, and there are fluffy fox fur edges on the sides of the feet and necks, which gives people a lively and lovely temperament.
The girl was tired and jumped on the cart.
"How long is it until the next resting point, Dad, Qiuqiu is a little tired"
The Round Ball Merchant's face quickly softened, revealing a kind smile.
"It's coming, it's coming soon. The rest of the leaders looked at the father and daughter with smiles on their faces.
As the leader of this team, Ma Yuan has the most experience, and this is his third trip to Zhongfu.
In the past, it took about five years to go back and forth.
At the beginning, he was just an ordinary boy from the mountains, fat and ugly, and he came out to break through ruthlessly, but he learned martial arts by chance, and he started this kind of work as a leader by accident.
It's just five years at a time, and it's too long. Coupled with his ugly appearance and obesity, he has never been able to find a suitable partner.
Later, by chance, he finally met a lady who was helpless because of a shipwreck, and was seriously ill and dying.
fell in love at first sight, and he tried his best to finally save him from death.
The eldest lady was moved and gave birth to a son and a daughter for him. Later, when his son learned martial arts, he died in a fight, and the only remaining daughter, Ma Qiuqiu, became his treasure.
It's just that this daughter has one of the biggest headaches for him - that is, she is too innocent and kind.
"Daddy. I'm hungry again, I've been getting thinner and thinner lately, and I want to eat more cheese to make up for it. Ma Qiuqiu began to find various reasons to ask him for food.
This kind of cheese and dried fruit are indispensable and precious foods for the team when they go out, and even he only eats them occasionally to supplement and balance the body's nutrition. Otherwise, you will definitely get sick. It's not worth much in my hometown, but here, on the Yang Road, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a tael of gold and a tael of cheese.
Looking at the appearance of this little guy, Ma Yuan knew that she must have been kind again, and wanted to get some food from herself for the refugees behind. But he is the leader of the team, not a great benevolent person, and this material is limited
The two fathers and daughters had another period of careful ideological education. In the end, Ma Yuan still didn't grind his daughter's coquettishness, and reprimanded this guy with a cold face and a soft heart. I still gave her a little cheese.
Ma Qiuqiu went out happily. Sure enough, Ma Yuan saw through the gap in the car that the little guy went straight to the refugee team behind. He suddenly sighed involuntarily.
"Why should Brother Ma sigh. The daughter is kind-hearted and beautiful and immature, so she can attract people who want to protect her. It is also easy and simple to choose a wishful man in the future. The other team leader laughed.
"It's simple. Ma Yuan shook his head, "I'm afraid that this little guy is simple-minded and will be used as a tool for use." ”
"Isn't this your old horse who still has a secret mind?" and several of them laughed.
Ma Yuan was also choked by the words, and laughed helplessly.
Ma Qiuqiu got out of the cart. He took a little cheese from a cart in the back, hugged it and went straight to the team of hundreds of people behind.
"Miss Qiuqiu again?" many of the refugees looked at her kindly.
Everybody loves this
"Sister Qiuqiu~~" A few children ran over and shouted. They all saw the cheese in her arms, and there was some longing in their eyes.
"Qiuqiu, you're here again, it's really"
Ma Qiuqiu distributed a small piece of cheese to everyone he met one by one, in the boundless sea of clouds region, about to break away from the yang realm. These things are almost life-saving treasures, and no one is willing to eat them, so they keep a little bit of them every day.
The refugees were organized into small teams, with about four or five people in small teams for the convenience of the team leaders. Ma Qiuqiu distributed a little bit to each team. Before you know it, you will soon reach the middle and rear of the line.
In the nineteenth squad, there are two young strong men, two mothers and sons, and a down-and-out middle-aged scholar.
The mother was coughing with her child, who was only a few years old.
The two strong men were also pale, apparently suffering from internal injuries.
And the middle-aged scholar had a sad face, gray hair, and a faint smell of something rotting from his body.
Several people slowly followed the team forward, and when they saw the little girl running over, their eyes lit up.
"Miss Qiuqiu. ”
Two strong men greeted him, and one of them couldn't help but bow his head and cough, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth, looking seriously injured.
"Here, it's yours. Ma Qiuqiu suddenly showed a hint of pity and took the initiative to hand over the divided cheese. This time, she got a little more of it.
"Thank you, Miss Qiuqiu. The two of them looked grateful.
She gave the mother and son a little cheese according to the law, and finally when it came to the middle-aged down-and-out scholar, she carefully divided a cheese to the other party.
"Uncle, I seem to have seen you somewhere?"
She looked at each other suspiciously.
The middle-aged scholar looked at Ma Qiuqiu carefully and showed a hint of a smile. "It turned out to be the eldest lady who bought my fur. ”
As soon as he said this, Ma Qiuqiu suddenly remembered.
"It's you, uncle!"
This scholar is Lin Xin, who joined the Yang Dao team.
He couldn't use the aura of cultivation, so he took the money he got and chose the largest team to join.
Walking the yang path cannot be cultivated, cannot restore aura, and will also attract extremely dangerous predators and spirit-eating beasts. And for up to five years.
In contrast, flying from above over the boundless sea of clouds is the fastest way, but it is also the most dangerous way.
Therefore, the monks who may encounter the Yang Path are the least, and under the full danger, almost no monks are willing to follow the mortals along the Yang Path. After all, let a monk not absorb spiritual energy for five years and not cultivate. It's almost unthinkable.
Anyway, Lin Xin didn't plan to use aura, so as not to stimulate the hallucination, and cultivation was not good, so he simply followed up with this team indifferently.
"It's yours, uncle. ”
"Thank you. Lin Xin smiled and nodded and took it, he really didn't come out so well-prepared. The cheese was enough to satisfy his immediate needs.
Ma Qiuqiu also looked at him with pity.
"What about your loved ones?"
Lin Xin shook his head and didn't speak, he didn't like to deceive people, lies need more lies to make up, from the first one, he will only get more and more tired.
He simply didn't speak.
It's just that for some reason, Ma Qiuqiu suddenly looked at him with more pity.
After thinking about it, Ma Qiuqiu took a small bag from his arms and gave it to him.
"Here's to you. She whispered.
"What is this?"
Without waiting for her to reply, Lin Xin saw Ma Qiuqiu turn around and run out.
He actually prepared most of the things he needed himself. It's just that he didn't want to be too prominent, so he accepted Ma Qiuqiu's gift like everyone else.
After Ma Qiuqiu went out, he took out the paper bag and opened it to look at it.
Inside is a small piece of jerky.
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Xin didn't know who this little guy was associating him with, but this heart alone was commendable.
"This little girl is really deceitful, so I coughed and wiped some blood on my mouth. You can get a lot more cheese than the average person. At this time, two strong men on the side were talking in a low voice, although the voice was small. But Lin Xin could hear it clearly.
"I said it last time, this woman is stupid, she may have a problem with her brain, and she can be deceived by pretending a little, and she is very tender. The other laughed,
"It just looks like the flesh is too delicate. Since I was slapped by that leather tooth, my internal injuries have not healed until now, and I haven't touched a woman for half a year, what the hell" is followed by some foul language.
Lin Xin didn't listen anymore, the little girl was the leader of the team behind her. It's not that these two guys can move, they are just talking, if they really want to do it, in such a wilderness, where they can only rely on the team leader, just with the two of them, it will only be a matter of minutes before the corpses are cleaned up and destroyed.
Close your eyes and keep moving forward with the team.
In the next few days, Ma Qiuqiu would occasionally come over from time to time to deliver something.
Sometimes it comes with a bit of dried fruit, sometimes it is jerky meat, or bread.
She always attracts a circle of children around her.
Soon the first rest point finally arrived.
There are several huge white mushroom trees next to them, which have been dug into large holes, and there are many furs in them to keep warm, and there are many single rooms, like a beehive with a narrow entrance.
The teams moved in in batches, with the leader living in one, the rest living in one, and the refugees living in the outer ones.
As soon as I moved in, it started to snow outside.
In the mushroom room, Lin Xin was lying on the ground and looking out of the window, and the wind and snow were shaking outside. Goose feather-like snowflakes are falling one after another.
A small pot of charcoal was placed in the mushroom room, and more than a dozen other refugees were lying and leaning on each other, mostly sleeping. A woman was sobbing quietly, as if she remembered something sad.
A simple oil lamp made of oil cans lights up in the corner, giving off a faint glow.
"Hey, wake up, wake up. Lin Xin was about to sleep when he heard the sound of someone talking. Seems to be a man.
"What?" a woman whispered.
"It's time, how do you go next?, do you join them or follow this team slowly?" the man said.
"Meet them. Pack up your things and get ready for peace. Isn't it still early?" said the woman impatiently.
"It's early, it's early, I made an appointment with a few brothers, hehehe"
"Is it Hu Laosan's idea again?" the woman snorted.
"Isn't this a good idea before leaving?" the man laughed.
"Do things cleanly, behind that little girl is Ma Yuan, and her movements are sharper. ”
"Anyway, it's all leaving, what kind of horse and cattle is he, if the master is not injured, is he still afraid of a small team leader?" the man said disdainfully. (To be continued.) )
