Chapter 3 Embarking on the Road
Zhao Lei saw the real immortals, and the wreckage of this place made him understand that he was not dreaming.
The dreams in Zhao Lei's childhood heart, as well as all kinds of ridiculous attempts and dreams made since he was a child to cultivate immortals, all came to mind.
A fire rekindled in his heart, he wanted to cultivate immortals, and he also wanted to become immortals.
Zhao Lei didn't care about the injuries on his body and crawled out of the rubble.
He came to a barren forest at the back of the village and pulled out a package from a tree stump.
This is Zhao Lei deliberately hiding here, now the world is too chaotic, there are often all kinds of bandits, burglars and robbers.
It is not safe to put it at home, so Zhao Lei hides all the more valuable things at home, and only Zhao Lei and his family know about this place.
At this time, Zhao Lei took out the package in the stump, and then opened the package, which contained a few pieces of broken silver, which was the little left after he dealt with the funeral before, and a long knife.
The knife was shaped like a willow leaf, the blade was two feet and two inches long, and there was a kettle full of water inside, which was all his belongings.
This knife was obtained by Zhao Lei when he went to the county seat last year to run errands.
Zhao Lei still remembers that it was evening, and after he was busy with things, he was about to come back, and when he passed by a small alley, he accidentally found that there was something abnormal inside.
At that time, Zhao Lei couldn't hold back his curiosity, and bravely walked into the alley cautiously, and found a person lying on the ground.
The man was dressed in head-hunting clothes, and there was a large patch of half-congealed dark red blood underneath him.
There was a huge wound on his neck, and all this blood was gushing out of his neck, on the ground, on the walls.
There were flies flying around him, and Zhao Lei's hairs stood up when he saw it, and then he kept looking around.
This small alley is inaccessible, very secluded, and there are relatively few people who usually come, and Zhao Lei only saw it because it was convenient, so he passed by here.
In normal times, I don't know when I will find out about the murder here.
Originally, Zhao Lei adhered to the principle that more things are better than less, and was about to leave, but somehow glanced at the afterglow, and then found the lancet on his waist.
Immediately, Zhao Lei's eyes were attracted by it, taking advantage of the fact that there was no one here now.
Zhao Lei hurriedly wrapped his hands with clothes, took away the lancet on the waist of the head catcher, and searched out a dozen taels of broken silver from him.
Then Zhao Lei hurriedly left here, he hid the lancet in a corner of the city, and then went out of the city.
After a long time, I felt that the limelight had passed, and Zhao Lei brought these things out, and the silver was used up by him one after another.
Since then, Zhao Lei has been hiding this knife in this stump, usually just quietly taking it out, practicing a few tricks, and never showing it in front of outsiders.
At this time, Zhao Lei took the lancet, carried a few pieces of broken silver in the package in his arms, wrapped it on his back, and set off in the direction where the two immortals flew before.
There is no Zhao Lei here to be nostalgic for, he only wants to cultivate immortals now.
This is Zhao Lei's obsession since he was a child, and only by becoming an omnipotent immortal can he realize all his wishes.
Before, Zhao Lei was passively waiting for death because all his hopes had been wiped out, but now he has hope again, so he wants to survive and become an immortal.
Zhao Lei doesn't know if he can get anything if he keeps moving forward like this, but now he can only look forward to it.
Zhao Lei just kept walking, walking, walking.
He walked from sunset to sunrise all night, and now he was like a walking corpse, supported by a fire in his heart.
Zhao Lei did it all night, thinking that it would not be okay to walk like this.
If he is like this now, he will be able to find the immortal, but the biggest possibility is that he will starve to death directly on this road.
Zhao Lei used to walk on the small road, but now he has no choice but to return to the main road, thinking about how to get a little food.
Now Zhao Lei only has a few coins and broken silver in his hands, but now he has money and he has nowhere to use it, so he can only think of other ways.
After Zhao Lei came to the avenue, he saw a group of people after a while, they were a group of refugees, all dressed in rags, yellow and thin.
These people are too poor, they are not Zhao Lei's goal, he just wants to solve the problem with one hand.
After waiting for a while, Zhao Lei saw a large group of people, there were about seventy or eighty of them, five of them were riding horses, and these were all guards.
They gathered around and escorted more than a dozen carriages in the middle, with small flags on them and the characters of the king written on them.
Zhao Lei looked unusual, and when he saw it, he immediately hid behind a stone.
It wasn't until he got closer that Zhao Lei found that this was a caravan, and the carriage was full of all kinds of goods, but because it was packed in a sack, Zhao Lei didn't know what was in it.
Seeing this caravan, Zhao Lei couldn't help but feel happy in his heart, because no matter what kind of caravan it was, they did not lack food and property.
Looking at the guards in this caravan, Zhao Lei couldn't help but hesitate in his heart, because with his skills, it was impossible to be the opponent of so many people.
In particular, there were five guards on horseback, who seemed to be obviously masters, not to mention that they were still on horses.
But the hunger in the belly no longer allowed Zhao Lei to be so indecisive.
He thought that he was already a cheap life, and there was nothing to do.
Zhao Lei gritted his teeth and thought hard, and decided to take this vote and hurry on the road, so as not to lose the trace of the immortals and make himself regret it for the rest of his life.
At this time, broad daylight is obviously not the time to make a move, and Zhao Lei is not a reckless person.
After making up his mind, he carefully withdrew from behind the rocks so that they would not find out.
After the caravan left, Zhao Lei followed quietly, and he didn't dare to get too close, so as not to be discovered.
Others also eat this bowl of rice, and they will definitely be very cautious, especially at this moment.
Gradually, the sun was setting, it was already evening, the caravan slowly slowed down, the night was not suitable for hurrying, if there was a problem with the items, it would be a big loss.
Then they found a territory with a wide view, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and suitable for camping.
Then he stopped and began to set up, leaving a dozen guards on guard.
Zhao Lei looked at their skilled and busy figures, these people were obviously veterans among them, and he couldn't help but feel more cautious.
After the sky was completely dark, Zhao Lei quietly touched it.
Zhao Lei didn't want to take down the entire caravan, he just wanted to get some rations so that he could continue on the road, so that the difficulty was much less.
Although Zhao Lei's heart was very anxious, he also understood that he couldn't eat hot tofu in a hurry, so he could only hold his mind and wait quietly.
Now is not a good time to make a move, Zhao Lei can only have a chance to succeed after the caravan relaxes.
