Chapter 132: Arrival
Lu An's injury, the change of the white wolf, happened overnight, as the boss of the caravan, Hong Yan, who received the money, could only pretend not to know, and did not ask, and even forbade his subordinates to discuss, and he also took the initiative to provide some wound medicine.
Lu An was very satisfied with Hong Yan's behavior, so when Lu An could move around, he deliberately called Hong Yan aside, and the two chatted.
"Young Master An doesn't know what to order?" Hong Yan said very respectfully, after Lu An was injured, Lu An revealed an inexplicable respect for Hong Yan, I don't know if he saw something, or because he was afraid.
"In the past few days, Boss Hong has been in trouble. Lu An said lightly.
"There, it's just some dirt medicine, it's worthless. Hong Yan replied very politely.
"Boss Hong, do you say that there is really a so-called king of the grassland on this grassland?" Lu An asked such a question coldly.
Hong Yan didn't hesitate at all, and replied directly: "There must be one, and I have seen it with my own eyes, this can't be faked." ”
"Oh, do you mean the White Wolf King?" Lu An asked.
Hong Yan nodded, "Although I don't know what the purpose of Childe's trip is, I know that Childe, you must be an extremely powerful cultivator, because the two swords on your body are very extraordinary, and I seem to have seen one before, but I'm not sure." ”
"Is this the reason why you suddenly became respectful?" Lu An was stunned, but he didn't expect it to be this reason.
Hong Yan nodded, "That night, I picked up those two swords and almost wasted one of my hands, so I knew that the master who could use this weapon must not be comparable to a martial artist of my level, and this kind of respect at this moment should also be deserved." ”
Lu An chuckled, he really didn't expect it to be the reason for the sword, he thought that he saw the identity of the white wolf, and then thought of himself, just thinking about a showdown with him, at this moment he could only shake his head and smile bitterly.
"In this case, Boss Hong, you don't have to be too restrained, it's better to be the same as before, it's not good to see too much, it looks rusty. After saying that, Lu An scooped up the frolicking white wolf and went back.
Hong Yan nodded respectfully.
Halfway through, Lu An suddenly turned his head and said: "By the way, let me inform you, you don't have to rush to travel recently, you can come normally, the weather is so good, I think the so-called Yaksha will definitely not come out again." ”
Hong Yan didn't understand much when he heard this, and when Lu An returned to the caravan, he reacted, his whole face first changed greatly, cold sweat broke out, and then he was happy, and finally he put his heart down, knelt down, and muttered to himself for a long time at the sunset.
"Childe, what did you say to Boss Hong?" Wei Yang asked curiously.
"Nothing, just talking about something. Lu An replied.
"Childe doesn't want to have a showdown with him, right?" asked Li Li schemingly.
"Sir, sometimes I really think you're a worm in my stomach. Lu An smiled.
Li Li was also smiling, very proud.
"I talked to him a little bit, and it happened that he didn't recognize me, and it was only because of my weapon that I was so respectful, so I just let him go on like this. Lu An explained.
"I remember, it was Boss Hong who took Childe's weapon back that day, and his expression was very uncomfortable that day, I thought he was worried about Childe's injury, by the way, what happened to Childe that day. Wei Yang asked curiously.
"I know, you probably won't be able to sleep again at night, so let's talk about what happened that night. Lu An said with a smile.
"Think, since you went out that night, the sky has undergone a series of changes, a big moon, a moment of dark clouds, a moment of thunder again, I thought it was going to rain heavily, Boss Hong also said so, and asked me to go to shelter from the rain as soon as possible, but it took a long time, the light thunder did not rain, but then the luck was very good, I saw several meteors, and they were red, very magical. Wei Yang said what he knew directly.
Lu An nodded, "What I saw was similar to your situation, I was so seriously injured, in fact, I was struck by lightning, and a meteor hit me, so I was so seriously injured." After speaking, he sighed softly.
Wei Yang had an expression that you and I were a fool, and looked at Lu An with squinted eyes.
"If you don't believe it, you can ask it. After Lu An finished speaking, he directly hugged the white wolf with a mouth full of oil who ate meat.
"The two of us were struck by lightning, don't you say?" said Lu An, holding the white wolf.
Under the intimidation of Lu An's eyes, the white wolf nodded Mu Mu.
Wei Yang, who saw this scene, was very surprised, his eyes widened, and he said in disbelief: "No!"
Lu An threw the white wolf aside, "Why are you lying to you, it's true." ”
Li Li also interrupted from the side at this time: "Yang'er, don't ask, Gongzi has said everything, what else do you want to ask?"
"But Master, do you believe it?" Wei Yang said aggrievedly.
"I believe it, since Childe has told you so seriously, why don't you believe it? And it's no good for you to know this matter, you don't need to get to the bottom of it so much, and when the time is right, you will know. Li Li said lightly.
Wei Yang could only stick out his tongue, nodded, and began to tease the little white wolf.
"Childe, how long will it take for us to get to Zuo'an City?" Li Li suddenly asked such a question.
"How many days have we been gone?" Lu An said.
"It's been almost twenty days. Li Li replied.
"Then I estimate that it should be there in four or five days, the previous few days were fast, the original one-month journey, to say the least, should be shortened by four or five days, what's the matter, in a hurry?" Lu An smiled.
Li Li hurriedly smiled and replied: "Don't be in a hurry, it's just that you eat this meat every day and drink goat's milk wine, and you're really a little unaccustomed to it." ”
Lu An looked at the old man, shook his head helplessly, took out a wine jug, poured a glass, and handed it to him, "Sorghum burning, the best wine in my hand." ”
Li Li's eyebrows were raised suddenly, and he quickly took it, smelled it, it didn't seem to smell of wine, and he went down directly, and this time, he directly choked the old drunkard, and his face immediately turned red, and then Li Li frowned, pursed his lips and tasted for a while, and shouted: "Childe, this wine is delicious enough, have another glass?"
Lu An poured him another glass.
This time, Li Li drank very slowly, taking a sip every time, but the pure fragrance after this entrance still made Li Li have an endless aftertaste, and kept praising the wine for being good.
Lu An immediately told the origin of this wine, and Li Li listened very carefully and firmly remembered Lao Xiao's name in his mind.
After three rounds of drinking, Li Li drank almost enough, and Wei Yang had already gone to sleep, Lu An asked out loud at this time, "Sir, do you want to continue studying now?"
Li Lizheng dozed off, didn't hear this clearly, squinted his eyes, and asked rhetorically, "Childe, what did you say?"
Lu An then asked again.
Li Li Oh oh oh twice, shook his head and replied in a low tone: "The more I go, the more I feel that the truth in this book is ridiculous, the so-called sage book is really for the sages to read, but there are a few sages in this world, more of us are ordinary people, the truth in the book is million, but it is not as good as others to stretch out their hands, ten years of savings once turned into nothing, but it is a pity, what is the use of reading this book, this book is actually not read." ”
Lu An was surprised by this answer, and asked rhetorically: "Sir, are you sure you haven't drunk too much?
Li Li laughed dryly, "Don't be surprised, son, in fact, today is wine to instigate people's courage, I really can't say it in normal times, but it's still worth saying it when you drink today, this world is too indulgent for those who make mistakes." ”
"Oh, what do you mean?" asked Lu An curiously.
"The officials are not officials, the people are not for the people, the officials don't care about the lives of the people, the people can't be honest as the people, the whole thing is messed up, can this world be good?" Li Li snorted coldly.
"Does no one care?" Lu An asked rhetorically.
This is a problem of the world, not the reason of one person, the good or bad of the world is not the same as the good or bad of people, the good or bad of the world is composed of a group of individuals, as long as a few people are not good, the world is extremely unbearable, so it is better to spend decades reading thousands of books and determined to save the world, it is better to rob a few times in two or three days to make a windfall, why not. Li Li said a little decadently.
Lu An scratched his head, "Sir, what you said is a bit profound, I don't seem to understand much." ”
Li Li waved his hand, "Don't say it, don't say it, the world is too chaotic, and I am determined to save the world, but unfortunately I haven't even finished the world, so I was dealt with by the bandits on the road, so it's okay if I don't save the world." After saying this, Li Li got up directly and went to sleep in a leisurely manner.
Lu An couldn't help but curse secretly, "It's really a hateful old man! Shouldn't this look be more deserved?"
But Li Li didn't hear this, and had already walked away.
The next day.
As if he didn't remember the incident of criticizing reading yesterday, Li Li got up and greeted Lu An, and then began to urge Wei Yang to endorse the book.
Lu An asked curiously, "Sir, do you remember how much we talked last night?"
Li Li looked at Lu An suspiciously, and replied, "Did we talk about something?"
Lu An waved his hand, ignoring the forgetful old man, and climbed onto the haystack to recuperate.
The next few days were extraordinarily calm, hurrying, camping, and finally coming out of the grassland after five days, and Lu An's body was fine, at least he could move freely.
"Is it finally here!" Wei Yang excitedly threw the book in his hand into the sky, and laughed loudly, "I don't have to endorse books anymore!"
Li Li immediately scolded: "Don't pick it up quickly, what you throw is the crystallization of the saint!"
At this time, Hong Yan also came over and said, "A few people, we can enter the city tonight, I don't know what a few people are planning?"
Lu An replied directly: "Boss Hong doesn't have to be polite, we have our own plans to enter the city when the time comes." ”
When Hong Yan heard this, he also nodded, and then went back and began to tell the others to hurry up.
"Childe, what will we do then?" Wei Yang asked curiously.
Lu An replied with a smile: "What arrangement can you have, isn't it just to find an inn, eat something good, drink some wine, and sleep well." ”
Wei Yang nodded excitedly, "In the past month, I've been eating this dry barbecue all day long, and now I'm going to eat two plates of green vegetables." ”
Lu Anba smacked his mouth twice, nodded in agreement, and then the two of them began to think about what else to order, braised fish, river shrimp, white rice, hot steamed buns....
Li Li looked at the two of them and shook their heads, very disdainful, but the action of swallowing in his throat also revealed his thoughts.
In the evening, the caravan finally arrived at Zuo'an City, and after Lu An came down, he stretched his waist.
Hong Yan came over at this time, gave a little dried meat, goat milk wine as a gift, Li Li accepted it with gratitude, and then said goodbye to Hong Yan.
Standing at the gate of the city, Lu An remembered the old Taoist priest who cheated on food and drink, and smiled bitterly, "God man!"
Immediately the three of them entered Zuo'an City, Wei Yang's face was full of excitement, looking at these small traders along the road, looking east and west, the childish nature was exposed, but just looking, he didn't buy anything, because what he was thinking about now was the meal, and he kept urging Lu An and Li Li to leave quickly.
Li Li smiled apologetically at Lu An, Lu An didn't care, led the two to the small inn where he had lived before, asked for several dishes, and ordered a pot of wine.
The three of them looked at each other with a smile, and then began to eat and drink.
It wasn't until they had eaten and wiped clean that the three of them patted their stomachs and went back to their rooms.
After Lu An returned to the room, he was not idle, took out the previous map, spread it on the table, and studied it.
If you take a cloud boat, you can start from Zuo'an City to Qufu City in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and then get on the cloud boat, it may not take much time to get to Chengjun Academy, but if you go to the cloud boat, there is a risk of revealing your identity.
If you don't take the cloud boat, then there is a little time to spend, first to Qufu, then Shangqiu, then to the Eastern Capital, it is best to go to Chengjun Academy, the road is far away.
Lu An scratched his head, this is also a big problem.
