"Wait any longer, you'll die!"

"We haven't drunk water or eaten for almost two days!"

"I'm almost spewing fire right now, who do I need? ”

......

The eight travelers seemed to have reached an agreement, they were afraid of Zhou Yong, but in order to survive, they mustered up courage and united.

"Water, food?" Zhou Yong smiled, suddenly pointed to Ling Zhan's carriage and said: "This journey is still very long, we will not take out our reserves unless we have to, if you want to drink water or eat, you can go and borrow some from the people in this carriage, they have a lot of them." ”

This sentence undoubtedly made Ling Zhan a little angry, and sure enough, after the eight passengers heard it, they quickly ran to Ling Zhan's carriage, they were afraid of Zhou Yong, so they talked and did not dare to be too presumptuous, but it was different in the face of Ling Zhan.

The first to bear the brunt of the carriage, after rushing into the carriage, shouted, "Do you have food and water?"

This is a man whose face is sunken in with hunger, and his lips are chapped in the middle of winter. The way he looked at Ling Zhan was like a wolf looking at a little sheep, full of aggression.

Ling Zhan thought that he was not a good person, although he pitied the plight of this group of people, he still said loudly: "Even if we have, it is ours, why don't you go to Zhou Yong to ask for it, you want to come to me? He is the person in charge, I, like you, am just a passerby who goes to the Nine Shadows City." ”

"We can borrow it, and after we get to the Nine Ghost City, we will pay it back double. Another man who rushed into the carriage said.

"I don't borrow. Ling Zhan was a little angry, of course, he was not angry with these travelers, but angry with Zhou Yong, was Zhou Yong not afraid of him this time?

"I have money, I'll buy it from you! You can make a price! As long as you can give me food and water, as much as you want. ”

"I'm willing to exchange all my belongings for a pot of water and a steamed bun. ”

"Please, give me some water and food, I can't hold it anymore. ”

......

The curtain of the carriage had been lifted by them, and eight men shouted around the carriage.

And at this time, a smell suddenly wafted in, and everyone fell silent, and then looked to the other side of the carriage.

At this time, their group of people was gathered together, and among them, there was an iron pot erected by a wooden frame, in which a pot of meat was stewed.

This time, the passengers no longer cared about Ling Zhan's dry food and water, and even Ling Zhan couldn't help but swallow his saliva, compared to dry food, meat was naturally the first choice.

"Hehe, a bunch of dirt buns!" Zhou Yong said with a smile.

People's eyes were attracted by the pot of meat, and even Ling Zhan got out of the carriage, the aroma of the pot of meat was the most fragrant meat fragrance that Ling Zhan had ever smelled in his life.

"What are you doing here? Get back into the carriage for me. After Zhou Yong saw that people were walking over, his face was full of unkindness, and the other people from the Thorn Flower Convoy also stood up, only the great martial artist was still there to add some condiments to the pot.

The meat is not fully cooked, but it is already half-cooked, which is why it is so fragrant.

"Boss Zhou, do you have our share?" asked one traveler.

Zhou Yong sneered, "Do you need to drive the carriage? Do you need to protect the safety of our group? If you don't need any, then are you qualified to eat meat?"

"That's fine, let's have a soup drink, shall we?" said another traveler.

Zhou Yong's face became gloomy, "You guys don't know what to do, you want to eat meat?"

Most of the money of the tourists here has been stolen in the inn, and now they have no money at all, of course, not at all, because everyone has different habits of hiding money, some people like to hide money in their pants, some people hide it in their hair, shoes, and so on.

"Why do you want us to give us money? When you left, you said you would give us food and drink. ”

"That's it!"

"If you treat us like this, aren't you afraid that we will take revenge on you in the future?"

"You are abusing us, we are your guests, not your slaves. ”

......

At this moment, the crowd exploded, but Zhou Yong said indifferently: "Whatever you think, my principle is very simple, give money and eat meat." No money, just get back to the carriage. ”

Hiding money is a technical job, so people who rob money often get more than people who steal it.

The current Zhou Yong, although it seems to be a transaction, is actually no different from grabbing money.

Because of Zhou Yong's tough methods, people fell silent, and then they could only admit it, those who had money began to pay money, and those who had no money could only endure it.

After a while, the meat was cooked, and Zhou Yong and his people began to eat meat, and the onlookers on the side smelled the aroma and saw them eating meat, and they were a little angry in their hearts.

"One piece of meat, ten low-grade spars, if you have money, you can come and eat meat. Zhou Yong took a piece of cooked meat, put it in his mouth as if showing off, and exaggeratedly shouted: "Ah! delicious!

At this time, people with private money began to can't help it, they took out the money and handed it to Zhou Yong, Zhou Yong didn't lie, he took out a piece of meat from the pot, and then threw it to the person who gave the money, and the person who gave the money almost wanted to take it as a reflex, but the freshly cooked meat was so hot that even if it was received, it was hot, and after falling to the ground, I was sorry, you got it yourself, either eat it or buy it again.

This kind of abusive practice, Ling Zhan was disgusted, Huang Xiaoxiang was also full of anger, Guo Xiang did not move, they stood a little farther away, looking at everything that happened.

"He An, can you bear it?" asked Huang Xiaoxiang.

Ling Zhan said indifferently: "This week, Yong bullied people too much, but if we kill him, we will be in trouble." ”

"Then you just let him be so arrogant?" Huang Xiaoxiang was indignant, although she was hungry, she was not enough to eat the meat that fell to the ground, but the others were different, they almost took out the only money on their bodies, bought a little meat, even if it fell to the ground, they would pick it up and eat it.

Dignity?

Bullshit!

After being hungry for so long, people's reason and thinking are a little blurred, what dignity and demeanor, in the face of death and hunger, where can they take care of so much?

Ling Zhan thought for a while and said, "It seems that if you don't do anything to him, he won't treat our group of people as human beings." ”

After speaking, he strode towards Zhou Yong.

After seeing Ling Zhan coming over, the smile on Zhou Yong's face slowly turned cold, and he asked softly, "You also buy meat." ”

"Nope. Ling Zhan said: "I don't buy it, but I want to eat it." ”

"This is not in accordance with the rules, right?" Zhou Yong said.

"You've already broken the rules. After Ling Zhan finished speaking, he sat down beside Zhou Yong, and then stretched out his hand to the pot, while Zhou Yong's uncle, who had been silent, suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed Ling Zhan's hand, "Young man, do you want to know if there is a God in the world?"

Ling Zhan smiled indifferently, and instantly released a small part of the martial energy in his body, and the hand that hit him was quickly bounced away, Zhou Yong's uncle was slightly stunned, and then when Ling Zhan stretched out his hand to the pot again, he didn't stop it anymore.

I have to say that Uncle Zhou Yong's craftsmanship is indeed very good, this pot of meat is very fragrant, and it tastes very refreshing, when Ling Zhan was eating, he also called Huang Xiaoxiang to eat together, but at this time, the people in the thorn flower team all stood up, looked at Ling Zhan with wide eyes one by one, and wanted to eat Ling Zhan alive.

"Sit down and eat together!" Ling Zhan said this sentence not to the people in the Thorn Flower Convoy, but to everyone.

At first, some people were afraid, but after Huang Xiaoxiang started to eat, some bold people also began to act, and the strange thing was that Zhou Yong did not stop them.

A pot of meat, a group of people ate it in three or two, and there was not even a little soup left.

After this incident, people's hostility towards Zhou Yong increased, and as for Ling Zhan, it was just a look of gratitude.

Zhou Yong has changed, he didn't let his people get into Ling Zhan's carriage anymore, and he didn't abuse the passengers anymore, he gave some water and food to each passenger, and Ling Zhan also got a share, but out of safety, Ling Zhan didn't ask for it, he was afraid that the water or food would be poisonous, Zhou Yong was like a chameleon, doing this kind of thing, Ling Zhan would not be surprised at all.

The next two days were relatively calm, both during the day and at night, and on the third day, when the convoy stopped, it was exactly noon.

"All down!" Zhou Yong said loudly.

The passengers got down from the carriage one after another, and Ling Zhan also stepped out of the carriage and looked around.

It is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, surrounded by green trees, and their location is naturally in the middle of the main road, and strangely enough, the big road is very flat, there are few potholes, and the road paved with stones is very wide.

And in front of this road, there is a gate, and the gate is engraved with the three big characters of 'Nine Secluded City'.

"This is here?" Huang Xiaoxiang walked to Ling Zhan's side, his face full of excitement, "Didn't you say that it would take ten days and half a month? It will be there so soon? Great, let's hurry into the city!"

Ling Zhan nodded, but he always felt that something was wrong, because the Nine Shadows City in front of him was indeed a little strange, its 'city wall' was surrounded by wood, not mud, and at the same time, on the left and right sides of the gate, there were watchtowers, and there were people standing on the watchtowers, and there were even many people in front of the gate.

If these people were wearing military uniforms or official uniforms, Ling Zhan would not be surprised, but these people were dressed very ordinary, not so much, this group of people was sent by a big family to take care of the gate of the Nine Shadow City, Ling Zhan felt that this group of people seemed to be bandits, and here, it was not the Nine Shadow City, but the base camp of the bandits.

"No! This is not the Nine Ghost City!"

The first to notice that something was wrong was a slightly older traveler, who raised his voice and said, "I've been to the Nine Ghost City, and this is definitely not the Nine Ghost City!"

When the people who were about to enter the city heard this, they all stopped and looked at the person who spoke, and at this time, another traveler also said loudly: "I have also been there, and in the first half of this year, this is not the Nine Hidden City." ”
