Chapter 43: Roast Rabbit

After the caravan left Xihe County, the speed was obviously much higher than before, and many people had a hard time keeping up, and the voice of complaints in the team was everywhere, and the team leader pretended not to hear it, until he felt that someone was really going to fall behind, and then slowed down.

After leaving Xihe County, they no longer walk along the edge of the forest, and the rest of the journey will be plains interspersed with hills, and when the view is broadened, people are usually in a better mood.

It's just that because of being called by Bai Shangcai in the city before, the Bai family's blockade of the city and the delay in the journey time for half a day, and the speed of the leader to increase in order to hurry, everyone in the caravan was not happy, but accumulated some depression.

But this has no effect on Wei Feng, on the contrary, because of entering the plain, the rabbits in the jungle are better to find, and they can be found without rain, just by their own eyes, but because they can't show their equipment space to the outside world, they just press it down and don't take action.

Later in the evening, the caravan camped in an abandoned village, where it rested for the night.

Now that he knew the location of the station, Wei Feng naturally refused to stay in the team, so he found a direction to leave, and the team leader Chen Liang didn't see it when he saw it, as long as he didn't cause him trouble.

Wild rabbits like to move between dusk and early morning, and the forest may not be accurate due to light, but rabbits on the plains are probably like that.

After Wei Feng's level increased, his five senses also increased, and now the sky was not completely dark, which had little effect on his vision, and after getting away from the crowd of the team, he took out the novice wooden bow and held it in his hand, and shuttled through the grass at the edge of the village, looking for animals to hunt.

After wandering around for a long time, the rabbit didn't see one, but a rodent similar to capybara is quite common, because of its large size, even if it is roasted, it can't be eaten, Wei Feng didn't attack them, and he didn't dare to make sure that this animal did not carry some pathogenic bacteria or viruses, and he didn't dare to eat it at will.

After a long while, he finally found a gray-haired rabbit, and he immediately bent his bow and arrows without hesitation, and the bow was like a thunderbolt, and the arrows were like lightning, directly piercing the head of the rabbit not far away, and the rabbit stepped on its limbs in vain and stopped moving.

Speaking of which, Wei Feng has never seen a white rabbit in this world, all the rabbits he has encountered are this kind of gray hair, and the taste of eating is no different from his previous life, he found a well at the edge of the village, and only brought the rabbit back to the team after processing it, and also picked up some dry firewood along the way.

At this time, the sky has completely darkened, many of the merchants and guests with the team have already fallen asleep, and the remaining people are sitting in twos and threes talking together, chatting about some things in the north and south of the world.

Wei Feng walked to the corner of the team by himself, set up the fire, and beckoned Bu Ji and Cao'er to sit over, the two hesitated, but they came over obediently.

Wei Feng explained the key points of roasting the rabbit to Bu Ji, and after talking for a while, he handed the rabbit to him, asked him to continue roasting, and said that he would go around the neighborhood.

First, if he always gave these two people some rabbit meat for free, the two of them might be embarrassed to accept it because they felt indebted, and it would be better to let him do some work, and Wei Feng did plan to go around the neighborhood, this village didn't seem to have been abandoned for too long, and he had to confirm if there were any dangerous factors that caused this town to be abandoned.

His figure wandering around the neighborhood has been seen by Chen Liang, and he was thoughtful, and when Wei Feng returned in a big circle, Chen Liang took the initiative to talk: "What are you looking for?" ”

Wei Feng shrugged: "No, just go around." ”

Chen Liang pondered: "This village has not been abandoned for two years. ”

"Oh?" Wei Feng became interested: "Why abandoned?" ”

Chen Liang sold a pass: "Going out from the east gate of Xihe County is the official road, and you can reach the next county town smoothly along the official road, and there is a flat river along the way, and ordinary people will choose this route."

But along the official road to take some detours, for the Chamber of Commerce, time is money, can transport goods to the capital earlier, can seize the market earlier, so the caravan will generally choose the faster route, we take the fastest route.

However, before this year, only a few caravans dared to take this road, and our prosperous era was one of them, and other chambers of commerce would rather take some detours and official roads, do you know why? ”

Without waiting for Wei Feng to answer, he continued: "Because bandits were rampant here in the early years, once the caravan took this route, it was easy to be robbed. ”

"So what's changed this year to make these bandits disappear?" Wei Feng asked, otherwise he wouldn't have said these four words before this year.

Chen Liang still didn't answer positively: "Because there are many robbers on this route, many caravans will not go north to Xihe County after starting from Changping County, but will go east to other counties first. ”

"Hmm~" Wei Feng groaned: "You mean, the Bai family took action to wipe out the robbers?" ”

If the caravan does not go to Xihe County, it will definitely be a loss for Xihe County, and the loss of Xihe County will naturally be unavoidable for the Bai family, and if the Bai family wants to develop, then these robbers who are the party must be eliminated first.

Wei Feng turned around and asked, "Is the security of our Jiang Kingdom very poor?" ”

Chen Liang: "Why did the little brother say this? ”

Wei Feng: "Otherwise, why would there be robbers near a big city?" ”

Chen Liang said noncommittally: "That is naturally their reason for existence." ”

Wei Feng thought about it, there were robbers before this, but not now, and then I think of what has changed in the Bai family, it is nothing more than that their family head Bai Jianxing has just taken the position, and there is a demon mist and rain by his side, Wei Feng naturally will not miss this kind of news when he is in Xihe County.

That is to say, before Bai Jianxing ascended to the throne, with the power of their Bai family, the old family master could not solve the robber thing at all, and how capable the robber was, and how could he be a robber if he really had the ability, so the reason for the existence of the robber was naturally because those forces who did not want the Bai family to develop were stumbling.

Thinking of this, he played with taste: "Then this village used to be a den of thieves?" ”

Chen nodded in affirmation.

"Then this head of the Bai family is quite powerful." Wei Feng chuckled.

Chen Liang was silent, and at the same time looked at Wei Feng with more meaning in his eyes, and sure enough, he strengthened the guess in his heart, this young man must be from a big family, how can ordinary people know about the change of head of the Bai family.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the end of the line, and the two of them looked at the source of the sound, Wei Feng couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, there were many people around the fire he had set up before, and the rabbit he handed to Bu Ji to roast fell aside.
