Chapter 10: The First Night
This escort mission includes the owner, a total of 22 people, including 15 mercenaries, 6 slaves, although 2 of the slaves are maids, but from their clothing and mental outlook, it can be seen that these 6 people are not simple goods.
"Sister Jiang, come up and sit down!" Pulling the curtain, Miss Qin Si greeted Sister Jiang with a sweet smile and looked quite kind.
"Thank you, Miss Four!" Sister Jiang was also troubled by Miss Qin Si along the way, it was the first time she had seen such an enthusiastic patron, but she just thanked her and didn't get into the car.
Seeing Sister Jiang like this, Miss Qin Si snorted softly, and she was no longer bored with herself, she could only blame Sister Jiang for being a dead brain, she didn't sit in a good carriage, and she had to walk with that group of stinky men in the rain, which was extremely stupid!
Qingyu Town is only two days away from Sheepshead City, and because of the rain, the roads are muddy and difficult to walk, and it will drag on the schedule for some time.
Taking out some supplies from the carriage used to transport goods, Ye Gufeng and the others set up a few tents under the leadership of Sister Jiang and Chi Yu, preparing to spend the night in this place.
"Are you sure we're going to sleep on this tonight?" Ye Gufeng pointed to a long wooden plank, he didn't dare to imagine that this was his bed, it was really hard to be a mercenary!
"No way, let's just get by!" Spreading his hands, Wu Yunfei looked accustomed to it, only to see him skillfully set up the wooden bed on the wet ground, and then lay directly on this bench-like thing, closing his eyes and resting: "You also rest early, the two of us have to get up and be on duty late at night!"
"Oh!" Helplessly, Ye Gufeng had no choice but to accept this reality, pulled out two small planks from under the wooden bed and put them away, and then lay down like a dark cloud, but because it was the first time, he felt very uneasy in his heart, for fear that he would fall down and wet his clothes.
"Alas, these 50 silver coins are really not so easy to earn!" Sighing, Ye Gufeng closed his eyes and tried to fall asleep as much as he could in the damp tent.
"Sister Jiang, what do you think of those 6 mercenaries?" In a tent, Chi Yu was whispering to Sister Jiang: "I saw that the 6 mercenaries were all strong, and I knew that they were all good guys at a glance. ”
"Well, I know, and the relationship between the six of them seems to be delicate, so let's try to be careful. ”
"They can't be the robbers of Qingfeng Mountain, right! I sent Yun Fei and Gu Feng to inquire in the town in the past few days, and in the past two months, there have been at least 7 cases of businessmen and pedestrians who have had accidents near Qingfeng Mountain, especially a noble lady like Miss Qin Si, who is very dangerous. ”
"Whether they are bandits or not, we must be vigilant. Nodding, Sister Jiang began to feel a little uneasy when Chi Yu said, so she instructed Lao Hei in the tent: "Lao Hei, you go and take two people to the night shift first, and then let Chi Yu come in the second half of the night." ”
"Okay!" Lao Hei is also an old mercenary, although he usually disdains Qingfeng Mountain, but at this time, he is still very vigilant, and immediately took two people out to send people to keep vigil.
"Hey, why did you come out!" In the first half of the night, 3 sturdy mercenaries and 1 slave of the Qin family were keeping vigil together, and they couldn't help but be a little surprised when they saw Lao Hei actually bring two people to join the vigil camp, but then there was a burst of laughter: "I said, this is not the boundary of Qingfeng Mountain now, and there are no powerful beasts nearby, are you so afraid?"
"That's it, you're still a mercenary group. ”
"Hehe!" Lao Hei rubbed his hands, found a place to sit down next to the charcoal fire, and chuckled: "I can't help it, who made the head of my family think I snored too loudly, and then drove me out!"
"Haha!" everyone laughed quietly when they heard what the old black man said, and then they got together and talked about various things to pass the boring time.
Ye Gufeng stayed in the tent, looking at Wu Yunfei with an innocent face, he said that he had just fallen asleep, but he was woken up by Wu Yunfei.
"Let's go, it's the second half of the night, go on duty!" patted Ye Gufeng's shoulder gently, Wu Yunfei pulled him up, and ran to the duty shed under the light rain to prepare for the vigil.
"It looks like the rain has been much lighter, and it should stop before noon tomorrow!" stretched out his hand to drench in the rain, and Wuyunfei muttered quietly.
In this regard, Ye Gufeng expressed surprise: "Yunfei, how do you see this!"
Stretching out his fingers and shaking them, Wu Yunfei thrust his waist and said, "It's not something you can see, it's calculated by experience." ”
"How do you calculate it?" Ye Gufeng also became more and more curious, this ability seemed quite practical.
"Hehe, it's been raining for 4 days, and now it's drizzling, I feel like the rain is almost going to stop!"
"Okay!" wiped the bottom of his nose, Ye Gufeng didn't say anything, because those old farmers in the village also relied on their senses to investigate the weather, nine out of ten were accurate, but they didn't know if Wuyunfei's words were reliable.
"Don't listen to his nonsense, this guy feels something. Chi Yu also came, and seeing that Wu Yunfei was showing off something to Ye Gufeng, he stepped forward and rubbed Wu Yunfei's head desperately, then raised his head and looked at the night sky, explaining: "Now the dark clouds have begun to thin out, and they will probably disperse before noon tomorrow." ”
"Oh!" Ye Gufeng suddenly realized, and he didn't forget to cast a disdainful look at Wuyunfei: "You actually fooled me!"
Wu Yunfei crossed his arms and said righteously: "Where and where, I saw that you were sleepy, so I planned to wake you up with a trick, won't you succeed now?"
"Don't quibble!" In this regard, Chi Yu directly gave him a burst chestnut, and sure enough, he had been with Lao Hei for too long and had learned badly!
"Huh!"
The night was silent, the rain became more and more scarce, and the sky became brighter.
......
"Boss Lei, it's almost dawn, but Li Lao Er and they haven't sent a signal yet, should we go up!" In the depths of the woods on the side side, there were more than a dozen people waiting there, and a thin and refined man ran over from outside, and whispered to a giant man who was not inferior to Akabane in terms of body shape, with a slightly anxious expression.
"Now there are fewer and fewer merchants and pedestrians passing by Qingfeng Mountain, and it is said that Sheep's Head City has also begun to recruit mercenaries to clear us, isn't it just to do a vote this time?" I also heard that this Fourth Miss Qin has a lot of possessions on her, and she is extremely handsome......"
Facing the further temptation of the elegant man, Boss Lei frowned and hesitated.
"Boss Lei, we didn't make a move late at night, we have missed the best opportunity, we can't miss it again this time, let's make a decision!" Time was pressing, and the thin man began to urge.
