Chapter 3: Night Talk

Among them, under the eaves of the corridor in the distance, a tall middle-aged man sat on a Taishi chair and looked at the newcomers, turned his head and explained a few words to the people around him.

The man next to him bent down to listen, then turned and trotted towards Hua Ying.

"Deacon Han!" The three blue-clothed disciples looked at the person who came and raised their hands one after another, their faces full of respect.

Deacon Han nodded without raising his eyelids, and ordered, "Distribute dry food to these newcomers and set off immediately." ”

"Yes!"

Senior Brother Sun immediately called a servant and carried a rice bucket over.

"You all bring some dry food, and when you're full, you're ready to go."

Several children have not touched the food for a long time, and their stomachs have long been hungry, and they have come forward to grab the food when they see it, for fear that they will not be able to eat enough when it is late.

Hua Ying was also so hungry that she squeezed her body and reached out to the bucket to fish, and finally only caught two mixed noodles steamed buns that were about to be dried. She first gnawed half of it, it was as hard as a stone, and it was difficult to swallow without water, and finally she only ate half of it and carried the remaining one into her arms and kept it.

Hua Ying was very smart and didn't eat too fast, she secretly found out a little bit of news from the conversation between Deacon Han and Senior Brother Sun.

The next thing they look like they have to do is have to go.

This discovery made Hua Ying look at it, in case she really had to rush to a farther place next, it was necessary to leave some dry food for backup.

God knows if these sect masters will distribute food to them on the way.

With a half-steamed bun in her arms, Hua Ying's heart was also a little calmer.

In the middle of the night.

More than a dozen carriages lined up on the path under the moonlit night, and in addition to the sound of wheels rolling and horses' hooves strolling on the ground, there was occasionally the neighing of wild beasts from the depths of the mountains and jungles.

At this time, in a carriage in the middle of the convoy, Hua Ying's shoulder was leaning against the wooden board next to the door of the carriage, and her immature body hidden in the darkness was shivering from the biting cold outside the carriage. Although it was night, she was sleepy, always observing the movement outside.

The other children in the carriage hugged each other to keep warm, snoring and whispering.

The carriage continued to move forward, as if it had been walking towards the mountains, and Hua Ying heard more and more beast chirps.

This made her quite curious, this knife gate was in a hurry late at night, but why didn't she take the big road and the small road, but just go to the mountains?

At this time, through the carriage door on the first floor, Hua Ying suddenly heard the subtle discussion of two young people.

"It's a long night, Wang Hu, I've been driving for a few hours, but there has been no movement at all, I think most of the rumors are false."

"Who said it wasn't, although our Huadao Sect is not a first-class sect in this Huaiguo, no one dares to provoke it easily in the territory of Dongqing County. I heard that the elders in the gate spent a lot of money to invite a high-ranking person from the state city to sit in charge of this matter, which was really a big fuss. ”

The two young men in blue who were in charge of the carriage were still the two young men in blue before, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Wang, and they were all riding on horses at the moment.

Although the conversation between the two has been kept as low as possible, it is difficult to escape the deliberate eavesdropping of someone with a heart.

Hua Ying in the carriage sat up quietly, tore open the corner of the curtain of the carriage door, and peeked out through the faint moonlight.

"Don't say it, I saw the master when I went outside when I was about to leave, and I sat in the front car. Hey, I should have invited a guest from a big sect, just a gray-haired bad old man, and that dress looks a little stylish, so it's better to invite me Liu Si! ”

"Hehe, Liu Si, your words are a bit exaggerated! If my king and tiger don't come out of the horse, it's up to you? ”

"Ah, yes, yes, it's enough to have you and me, why do you need others to take action?! With that spare money, it's better to give it to the two of us brothers to have fun in the city, tsk, it's really cheap for outsiders. ”

"Hahaha, it's indeed this reason!"

The two seemed to be talking nonsense, and the information revealed during the conversation made Hua Ying, who was eavesdropping in the carriage, confused.

She muttered a few words to herself, and there was a little more uneasiness in her heart.

At this moment, a surprised gaze suddenly appeared outside the curtain, and Hua Ying was so frightened that she let go of her little hand and pretended to fall asleep in a hurry.

"Wang Hu, what's wrong, there's movement?" Liu Si, who was riding on the horse, turned around and looked at his companion who suddenly turned around with a surprised expression, and asked.

Wang Hu's eyes lingered on the curtain of the carriage door for a moment, and he replied, "It's nothing, it feels like someone is watching us." ”

"Haha, don't be suspicious, those little cubs in the car in the middle of the night have already fallen asleep, how can anyone stare at the two of us. Come, take a sip of wine to refresh yourself. ”

As he spoke, a flask fell into the other's arms.

After Wang Hu raised his head and took a sip, he didn't care about it.

"Alas, this period of time is really not peaceful, and it will be difficult to live in the door like before in the future."

"Who said it wasn't, in the past, this kind of drudgery got our two brothers, and such a poor and remote place still has to send people to recruit disciples from village to village, and the hall masters in the door have dispatched six, and Dongqing County is afraid that they will be searched all over."

"Liu Si, I remember that your cousin was on duty at the outer gate, and it is said that those disciples who went out on a mission at the outer gate at the beginning of the month suffered heavy casualties, can this matter be taken seriously?"

"This ......" Liu Si hesitated for a moment and nodded, "This matter is not false." ”

"What's going on?"

"There is no one out of ten." Liu Si gestured.

Wang Hu was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse, and threw away the wine jug in his hand.

"Hey, don't throw it away if you don't drink it, it cost me two dollars."

"No wonder, I said that the sect suddenly wanted to send these brothers from our inner sect to accept people, and the selection criteria were much more relaxed than in previous years, and in the end it was such a reason." Wang Hu said with palpitations.

Liu Si glanced at him, hooked the wine jug on the ground with his sword, and said with relief: "Brother Wang Hu, don't panic." Although the disciples sent out by our outer sect suffered a lot of losses and almost perished, the other party was no better, and it was nothing more than a defeat for both sides. Besides, when the sky falls, there are those elders in the gate on top of it, and you are afraid that it will do something. ”

"What you said is light, the outer gate is dead, and then it won't be our turn to be the inner disciples!"

"What's the panic, today the sect has received more than 300 people in Qingyang Town, and I estimate that there must be more than 1,000 people in the other five towns, and if you send it to the sect for a little training for two or three years, there will be someone on top? When the time comes, they will naturally go out to work hard, won't the two of us still lie comfortably in the inner door and mess around? ”

"I'm sorry, look at these crooked melons and cracked dates that I collected today, I have a fart qualification! If it weren't for Deacon Zhang's telling the two of us to release the water, none of them would have been able to pass before! Wang Hu angrily pointed to the carriage and scolded.

"Shhhh

Liu Si looked back and forth, but fortunately, the distance between the carriages was not small, and the sound would not reach the ears of the other senior brothers.

Then, he looked at Wang Hu, who was blushing and thick-necked, and also said angrily: "Hey, what qualifications do you care about him, at least they are still a person!" ”

“......”

Wang Hu should have been choked by the other party's words, he thought about it carefully, it seemed to be such a truth.

"Don't mention this, the task of our people is to send them back to the sect safely, and the elders naturally have their arrangements for the rest."

Liu Si raised his head and poured a sip of wine, glanced sideways at his absent-minded companion beside him, and suddenly laughed again.

"Wang Hu, do you remember the little girl in the carriage?"
