Chapter 170: A Chance Encounter with a Caravan
The pursuers shouted behind them, chased them for half a street, and saw the two people running faster and faster, and finally disappeared from people's sight, so they had to give up and retreat.
Qiu Peng and Siyu rested for a while outside the town of iǎ and continued west to begin their journey.
Only then did Qiu Peng realize that it was too complicated for Siyu to adapt to a society full of all kinds of people.
In particular, her instinctive hostility towards any stranger makes her prone to conflict with others.
He may be the only person who will be trusted by Siyu wholeheartedly and unreservedly.
Qiu Peng thought about it, and couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart. Looking down at Siyu, who was holding one of her hands and following her closely, she seemed to have completely forgotten what had just happened, and her bright eyes looked around curiously.
"But maybe she didn't trust me as a person," Qiu Peng thought strangely in his heart, "but she regarded me as one of her possessions." ”
That day, Siyu's answer still made Qiu Peng linger.
Walking slowly to the front for a long time, a burst of car engine sound came from behind, Qiu Peng turned his head to look, it turned out to be seven or eight huge cargo suspension trucks, lined up in a long row, slowly galloping forward, on both sides of the freight suspension truck, there are two teams of mercenaries guarding, also driving iǎ type suspension vehicles.
In the front of a large car, in addition to the driver, there was also an old man with a white goatee on his chin, with a jīng Ming god on his face, who looked like the leader of this caravan.
And Sun Jian, who was knocked to the ground by Siyu just now, was at the front of the mercenary team.
Qiu Peng's heart moved, took Siyu's hand, stood aside, and looked at the group of people who were approaching them vigilantly, to see if they were coming to make trouble for what happened just now.
That Sun Jian obviously also saw Qiu Peng and Siyu, and kept staring at Qiu Peng and Siyu with his eyes, and Qiu Peng also stared at him without giving in.
Just when Sun Jian was speeding up, looking as if he was going to trouble Qiu Peng, the old man with a goatee sitting in the freight car in front of him suddenly shook his hand and motioned to Qiu Peng and Siyu, who were standing on the side of the road, to come over, and the car stopped on the side of the road.
The group stopped slowly, and everyone's eyes were fixed on Qiu Peng and Siyu.
The old man looked kind and kind, without any malice, and said to Qiu Peng with a smile: "This iǎ brother, where is this going?"
Qiu Peng said with a little guarded: "Province, register mercenaries." ”
The old man nodded with a smile and said, "What a coincidence, we are a caravan to Russia. It happened to be through the province, and it was too dangerous for the two of you to walk alone on the road. This road is not smooth, there are many robbers who do all kinds of evil, those murderous underworld characters, always haunt this area, if they run into it, you two children, there will not be even a bone left. Why don't you go with us, at least it will be safer. ”
Qiu Peng glanced at Sun Jian, because of this guy, Qiu Peng didn't have a good impression of the whole team: "No need, the two of us can take care of ourselves." ”
The old man turned his head and glanced at Siyu and said, "This is your sister, right?"
Qiu Peng nodded. The old man continued: "If you go forward with your feet like this, it will take at least another month, and the road is often deserted for hundreds of miles, and even if you can stand it, you should not let your sister suffer." ”
Qiu Peng seemed to be moved by this reason, and there was a trace of hesitation on his face, and he turned his head to look at Siyu.
Speaking of this, the old man said with a look of understanding on his face: "I think you still mind what happened just now, Boss Sun Jian is a rough man, he drank a few more drinks just now, in fact, he is a very good person." You go and apologize to him, and it's over. ”
He said in a serious tone: "Brother iǎ, I am good for you, and it is better to have one more friend than one more enemy. ”
Speaking of this, the old man turned his head to Sun Jian, who was still staring at Qiu Peng, and said, "Boss Sun Jian, look at my face, these two friends are not sensible, so don't take it to heart." ”
Sun Jian snorted coldly, as if he couldn't hinder the old man's face, he didn't refute, and reluctantly acquiesced.
Seeing that the old man was so enthusiastic, Qiu Peng felt that it was difficult to be gracious, so he had to nod in agreement. The old man invited Qiu Peng and Siyu to sit in the carriage with him.
This specially designed hovering car for pulling goods leaves a row of seats at the front of the hovering car, which is more than enough for three or four people because the car is relatively wide.
Qiu Peng, Siyu and the old man sat side by side in front, the old man waved his hand, and the convoy continued to set off.
Because the hovercar was full of goods, the speed of the hovercar was not too fast, probably not much faster than Siyu and Qiu Peng walking. But this is the first time Siyu has taken a hovercar, and he is still very excited.
Qiu Peng and the old man chatted in the carriage while looking at the scenery on both sides of the road. "My surname is Dou, and my name is Dou Jianhou. ”
The old man introduced himself and said, "They all call me the old fox, this time they have transported goods from YN province and returned to Russia,"
Qiu Peng politely called him Dou Ye.
He pointed to the mercenaries on both sides and said, "This is a jīng British-level mercenary group - Emma Mercenary Group, Boss Sun Jian, is their leader, you already know each other." ”
Qiu Peng nodded. The old man pointed to the other side of the hovercar, a thin middle-aged man who looked to be about forty years old, and said, "This is the deputy captain of the mercenaries, He Ping, if there is anything, you can let him help you." ”
When He Ping heard Dou Jianhou's introduction, he turned his head and nodded to Qiu Peng friendlyly, and Qiu Peng also smiled. Then Qiu Peng also introduced himself: "My name is Zixuan,"
Qiu Peng has recently relied on his appearance in the Seven Injuries Academy and evaded the pursuit of the Heaven Devouring Sect many times, and the strength of his expression has been ranked in the top three positions by Bai Xiaosheng Media's potential list, you must know that every teenager in the top three is a peerless genius in the first-class realm, so Qiu Peng has already been famous.
Qiu Peng didn't want to storm his identity so early, he had been thinking about hiding his whereabouts for the past few days, and decided not to use his real name for the time being, so as to prevent being found out by the Heaven Swallowing Sect, this name Qiu Peng came up casually. He pointed to Siyu who was leaning on his shoulder and said, "This is my sister Siyu." ”
Hearing Qiu Peng introduce himself, Siyu just opened his eyes wide and looked at Dou Jianhou without saying anything. Qiu Peng had no choice but to add: "My sister doesn't like to talk very much, she hasn't experienced any world, and if there is any rudeness, please bear with me." ”
The old man smiled and said, "Brother Iǎ, you are too polite. ”
After a pause, Dou Jianhou said kindly: "Brother Iǎ, my old man has been outside for a few years, and there is a saying to you, in the future, in front of others, don't say that you are from J Province." “
Qiu Peng was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why?"
Dou Jianhou shook his head and said: "It doesn't matter if you mention it in front of those of us who have traveled from south to north, if you go to the province, or ZJ Province, or other provinces, it is best not to say it, because the situation in J Province has been very tense recently, and Wu Xianshui has also officially broken with his old club Xuetian Faction, it is said that the Xuetian Faction will have a Jiā Feng with the alliance of the four major colleges in the near future, and the major forces are waiting and seeing." ”
Qiu Peng was stunned in his heart, this was the first time he had heard about the Seven Injuries Academy since he came out of the mountain, and he still sighed melancholy in his heart after hearing it, the time to come is finally coming.
"Also, how old are you?"
"I'm still a month away from turning seventeen. Qiu Peng said honestly.
Dou Jianhou nodded and said: "When you are out, you might as well say that your age is a little older, and when others ask, you can say that you are nineteen or twenty, you can do it." If others think that you are young, they will deliberately bully you, and it is easy to suffer. ”
Qiu Peng nodded and was taught. The two of them chatted like this, and the atmosphere gradually became harmonious, and Qiu Peng gradually disappeared from his wariness of them. During the chat, Qiu Peng learned that there were three kinds of caravans between Western countries and China in terms of number and scale, the largest caravan, often thousands of people, generally speaking, only large consortia like virtual technology companies, Wansan Qianzhuang, can organize such a large-scale caravan, this kind of caravan generally does not have security problems.
