Chapter 45: A Great Tribulation Strikes

The sandwich road here is between the two mountains, the width is less than one zhang, the two sides are absolutely full of strange cypresses, the top of the mountain is shaded by trees, the boulders stand in a forest, the whole sandwich road is enveloped in a gray light, as soon as you enter the sandwich road, people will immediately give birth to a chill.

It's not the first time that the Tong family caravan has taken this sandwich road, so although this road looks very steep, everyone is not too scared, but because they will feel very cold when they walk on this road, so every time they enter the sandwich road, everyone will unconsciously speed up the pace of their feet, hoping to cross this sandwich road quickly.

The same is true today, after the caravan entered the mezzanine, the speed under everyone's feet immediately increased, just before entering the mezzanine, Tong Ji and Sun Wei were still riding on the horse and talking and laughing, but after really walking into this path, it seems that they are extremely unaccustomed to being in this gloomy and cold environment, Tong Ji no longer has the heart to laugh with Sun Wei, but he can't help but tap the horse's belly with his feet with a white face, hoping to get out of this road quickly.

Tong Chen looked indifferent, he sat in a carriage behind the caravan with a big grin, and at some point he pulled out the body of the short sword that was encased in a long leather bag, and at this moment he was holding a piece of white cloth and carefully wiping the sword back and forth.

The carriage he was sitting in was a middle-aged man who was less than 40 years old, the man's name was Liu San, and Tong Chen had a conversation with Tong Chen at the same time in the past few days, the two are now very familiar, and when he turned around and saw Tong Chen sitting behind him wiping his sword, the man said: "Brother Tong, your sword looks good?"

Tong Chen smiled and didn't answer the stubble, but asked, "Brother Liu, how long will it take for this road to pass?"

Liu San had already turned around and continued to drive the carriage, and when he heard Tong Chen's question, he didn't look back again, but looked ahead and said, "At this rate, there will be about another twenty minutes." ”

After speaking, Liu San said again: "Brother Tong, are you cold wearing such a single coat? This road is not good, every time you walk here, it is cold and swishing, so you don't see that I put on the cotton shoulder before entering this road, or I will take off the cotton shoulder for you to wear? I am strong, and it will not be in the way for a while, you thin little body, don't freeze out of any problems!"

While speaking, Liu San made a gesture to unbutton the cotton shoulder on his body, Tong Chen saw this, and hurriedly said: "Brother Liu, I'm not cold, you wear it quickly, don't take it off!"

Strong men like Liu San, there are dozens of people in the Tong family's caravan, they have nothing to do with the Tong family, they are specially hired by the Tong family to go out to run business, these people have a common characteristic, that is, they are strong and can endure hardships, it is very hard to run a business outside all the year round, and they will never be able to do this kind of work without the ability to endure hardships.

In the past two days of contact with Liu San, Tong Chen found that this was a simple man, and he had a good impression of him, and Liu San felt that although Tong Chen was from a family, he had no shelf, unlike the Tong family named Tong Yan who followed the caravan before, who dragged them to death and never put them in his eyes, and the new young master named Tong Ji, who looked at them in the past two days with disdain in his eyes, compared to the two of them surnamed Tong, Tong Chen was much better, so he also liked Tong Chen in his heart.

Liu San didn't know why Tong Chen was traveling with the caravan this time, these days he saw that the caravan leader Sun Wei always revolved around Tong Ji, he thought that the eldest young master of the Tong family had an accident last time, so they now sent the second young master of the family out again to escort the caravan for the family, as for Tong Chen, seeing that Sun Wei didn't take him seriously at all, Liu San didn't think about him as a caravan escort, just thought that he was the one who occasionally followed the caravan once in a while.

Hearing Tong Chen say that it was not cold, Liu San thought that Tong Chen was polite to him, he glanced back at Tong Chen, and said: "Brother Tong, don't be polite to me, how can you not be cold when you go to this place?"

Cultivators have aura to protect their bodies, and ordinary cold can't get close to their bodies at all, so Tong Chen said that he was not cold because he was polite to Liu San, but because he really didn't feel cold, but looking at the cotton shoulder handed over by Liu San, Tong Chen didn't say anything, but reached out and took it.

Just as Tong Chen was about to put the cotton on his shoulder, suddenly, he felt the breath of many people around him fluttering in the air: "It's not good! there's an ambush!" he let out a low snort.

Liu San was the first to hear Tong Chen's words, he subconsciously turned his head to look at Tong Chen, at this moment, there was a sudden shout from the woods on both sides of the road, and then sixty or seventy people came out of the woods on both sides of the road.

Although Tong Ji had cultivated himself, he had never seen such a scene, and when he saw these people appear, his face turned pale. And Sun Wei beside him was not much better, almost at the same time as these people appeared, Sun Wei saw that these people were the group of people who robbed the caravan last time, if he didn't know the strength of that group, Sun Wei might still have the idea of fighting with these people, but after the last incident, he knew that these people were not the opponents of this group, where was there still the slightest intention to fight with them, so almost at the same time as seeing these people, he had the idea of turning around and escaping.

"Hahaha......" With a burst of rough laughter, a burly, bronzed-complexed man walked out from behind a boulder on the mountain on the left, the man was wearing loose hair, wearing a coarse suit made of animal skins, he looked not very old, he should only be in his twenties, and a short knife pinned to his waist, he looked majestic and full of gangsterism.

Almost at the same time as the man appeared, many people in the caravan recognized the man's face, Liu San also looked panicked, holding the reins of the horse tightly in his hand and said: "Oh no, it's the bandit leader who can breathe fire with spells, why did you meet them again? Or in this kind of place, how is this good?"

Tong Chen had already jumped out of the carriage, he glanced at the bandit leader standing halfway up the mountainside, and asked Liu Sandao, "Brother Liu, is that person the leader of the gang you met last time?"

Liu San turned his head sideways and found that Tong Chen had jumped off the bus stop beside him at some point, he didn't care about it too much, nodded with a white face: "Yes, Brother Tong! It's him! It's over, now we are in a big disaster!"
