Chapter 107: Bandits
After a night, a team of people set off again, this time, looking at the branches on Xiaoqingniu's head, no one dared to make fun of them, all looking at Xiaoqing's horns with awe on their faces.
Even they didn't dare to get too close to Xiaoqing, Xiaoqing followed behind Jiayi's carriage, which made the coachman who was driving the carriage feel very uncomfortable, especially with Jiayi sitting beside him, and behind Xiaoqing, the people and horses following it were all several positions far away.
The group walked not too fast, and it took another three days to enter the deepest part of the mountain, where the road was more difficult to walk, but it was a little wider, and the road here could be said to be completely driven out by smuggling caravans.
Beyond here, it should theoretically be considered the kingdom of Karta.
Compared to the Hengduan Mountains, the Little Sakhalin Mountains are not large, the environment is not so complicated, although the interior is dangerous, but most of them are ordinary beasts, and the number of demonic beasts is relatively small. Of course, as a barely important transportation place, there are inevitably people who do some business without capital.
They had just crossed a small valley, and Kelvander said to Jiayi: "This valley is the official border between the two countries, do you see the lake on that side? ”
As he spoke, he saw many people in the caravan rush to the lake and take out the kettle they had brought to fetch water.
Jia Yi didn't understand very well: "Why did they all run to get water, our water storage should be quite sufficient, and it is not good to pour raw water directly, it will pollute the kettle." In the wild, it is important to be careful that all water must be boiled before drinking. ”
Kaichi began to babble again, and when he came to the caravan, he was not accustomed to seeing them drink water without boiling it, and made several suggestions to the other party, that all water should be boiled before drinking, no matter how clean it looked.
Limited to Jiayi's identity, most of the caravan reluctantly complied, especially after Xiaoqing revealed a corner, almost everyone in the caravan complied, and they didn't want them to start using the kettle to directly fill it with water now.
And there is a division of labor within the team, even if you want to get water, you don't need so many people together, a few people are enough, this is not in the desert, and you will be happy when you see the water source.
Kelvander smiled and said: "Haha, do you know what the name of this lake is? It is called Fairy Lake, it is said that someone saw the fairy in the forest here, everyone thinks that bringing a pot of water in the lake can bring good luck and get the blessing of the fairy in the forest, and some people even say that if you drink the water in this lake, you can see the fairy in the forest dancing." That's why everyone will run over to fill the lake with all their brains, and do you want to fill a pot with adults?"
"What do you think about this? Why do you think that carrying the fairy's bath water with you will bring good luck? And being protected by the fairy of the forest, shouldn't this be regarded as a pervert by the fairy of the forest?"
Jia Yi turned his head and said to Kelvande, who said that Kelvander was stunned, thinking about it like this, it is indeed quite perverted, especially when everyone still has to drink.
Not everyone is Durant.
Jiayi took two steps forward, this lake looks nothing special at all, the size is not big, but the size of two or three basketball courts, in an irregular shape, it should be a ponding lake, and now is the time when the water level is shallow.
It's not much different from the little waterhole outside.
As soon as everyone finished taking the water, they were walking back in twos and threes, when suddenly a group of big men rushed out of the woods on the side, and they surrounded everyone together.
The leader was tall and burly, with a beard on his face, naked and carrying a big knife on his shoulder, and walked in front of everyone, and the big knife fell to the ground with a bang, and the urn said angrily:
"Hand over the money, keep it safe, don't pay it, die. ”
He spoke with a strange accent, not very fluent, with a strong dialect accent that Kaichi almost didn't understand. The most conspicuous thing should be the knife he pestled on the ground, the back of the knife is heavy, it looks very heavy, and it smashes into the ground so deep after it lands.
"Snow barbarians? I can't imagine that there are still snow barbarians who come to rob, so you are not afraid of being caught and sold as slaves?"
Kelvander was a little surprised to see the big man at the head, this person's appearance was obviously not from the Silver Sword Empire, especially that weapon, which was the favorite style of the Snow Barbarian Warrior's wrestler.
"Slave, die!"
Hearing this from Kelvande, the other party felt very angry, and seemed to be greatly offended, and immediately drew his sword, looking as if he was about to kill.
Jia Yi hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him: "Wait a minute." ”
The other party was also pulled by the person behind him, and it seemed that the other party didn't really want to do it.
Jia Yi continued: "Isn't it a little too lacking in technical content for you to rob like this, don't say two words 'What is this road for me to drive', at least say two words about what you clean and maintain this lake, and you should pay for drinking lake water, do you think that everyone is a transaction in this way, doesn't it look much friendlier?"
Saying that, Jia Yi whispered to Kelvander and said, "The luck of this lake is not reflected, do you think it is because the fairy in the forest is angry or they drink more lake water, so the fairy in the forest sent us to them?"
Kelvander was a little embarrassed, and everyone begged for comfort, and no one really expected this to work. However, when Jia Yi said this three times and twice, he was a little afraid to look directly at this lake, thinking that if someone poured his own bath water on his body, he might not be able to give birth to joyful emotions.
He is also half a businessman, and sometimes superstition is quite serious.
The bandit on the other side was also silent at this time, as if he was thinking about what Jia Yi said.
In fact, it was Jiayi's style that made them a little undecided, but the leading man said: "This road is not opened by us, and the lake is none of our business." ”
It's the first time I've seen such a real person, but I don't know how to answer.
"Since the road and the lake have nothing to do with you, get out of the way, and don't stand in the way. ”
As he spoke, Kelvander waved his hand at the other party, as if he were facing a group of his own servants. Jia Yi gave him confidence on the side and made him a fox and a fake tiger, otherwise even if he was not afraid of these bandits, he would not look so arrogant.
The person who had just grabbed the leader of the big man let go of the big man's shoulders and stepped forward half a step: "Do you want to die?" As long as you hand over your belongings, I can guarantee your safety, and you can continue to move forward with your goods, sell the goods, and the loss will come back this time, otherwise, we can only find it from you ourselves." ”
As he spoke, the other party had a knife in his hand, and as soon as the posture was made, all the thieves raised their knives upward, making it look like they were about to attack the other party.
Kelvander drew a rapier from his waist and said-for-tat, "You can try it and see if you can do anything with us." ”
Although the captain of the caravan's guard is not Kelvand, but Kelvand's strength is indeed the highest in the caravan, in order to avoid being too eye-catching, the number of people in the caravan is not too much, a total of only more than 10 people, it seems that more than half of the bandits on the opposite side, but really in terms of strength, the caravan is not too much worse.
This is still not counting Jiayi and Xiaoqing.
Kelvander and the captain of the guard both have knight-level strength, and the big man who seems to be the leader on the opposite side has this strength.
Seeing that Kelvander did not show weakness, the bandit on the opposite side also lost patience, and the bandit who had just spoken out slapped the shoulder of the leader of the snowfield barbarian, and shouted: "Kill!"
The leading barbarian man waved his big knife forward with both hands, and the wind pressure brought up a burst of fallen leaves, and then took the lead and rushed towards Jiayi and them.
Kelvander also slashed his sword in his chest, and the sword pointed at the heart of the barbarian leader, and with small broken steps under his feet, he shot out sharply.
However, someone was faster than him, and just as he had just taken a step, he saw a cyan figure rushing out next to him, faster and more fierce than Kelvand.
