Jiang Wang looked at Li Shenyuan seriously.
Li Shenyuan frowned and asked, "What are you looking at?"
Jiang Wang said sternly: "Did you show up unexpectedly just now to show off your words? It's just nonsense. With this distance, can't you just fly back?"
Li Shenyuan was speechless. Don't think I don't understand what you mean.
She said: "You stay here, I'll go take a look."
Li Shenyuan flew out of the town, and the scene was clearly seen by the caravan guards. After all, they were warriors in the first or even second realm. Naturally, it was easy to guess that the girl in red was a monk, but Jiang Wang's thing, and suspected that these were two monsters.
The guards maintained the highest vigilance, surrounded the lady and left quickly, leaving two guards to calm the horses, and then drove the truck to follow.
Jiang Wang looked at them, speechless.
It was snowing all the time, and even if he stayed under the eaves, he couldn't avoid the falling snowflakes, so Jiang Wang's body and face were still covered with snow. From a distance, he looked like a half-lying snowman.
Li Shenyuan didn't reply for a long time, so Jiang Wang wasn't very worried. After all, if he wanted to escape, no one could do it more easily than Li Shenyuan. The two had been together for several days, although they knew each other well. Still hiding secrets, but also learning a lot about each other.
For example, Li Shenyuan understood that Jiang Wang was weak, and he was really weak. Jiang Wang also understood that Li Shenyuan's cultivation and ability to speak Dharma became stronger because of him. Of course, this was still a very superficial understanding. But neither of them would deliberately ask deeper questions, which is also a kind of understanding.
This was a step-by-step process. At first, they both wanted to dig deeper and asked each other many questions, but later they felt that it was meaningless.
Just like Li Shenyuan would take care of the weak Jiang Wang. Although Jiang Wang strongly opposed Li Shenyuan's arbitrary words and tricks, Jiang Wang would not refuse when the time came.
Because the snow had condensed on his face for a long time, Jiang Wang finally felt a little uncomfortable, so he started to remove the snow.
The deserted streets were filled with pedestrians.
Wearing patched coarse linen clothes and open-toed straw sandals, Su Changluo's hair was frozen by the falling snow. He came back to this street, but in the opposite direction from where he left before, so he could easily see the eaves. Jiang Wang next.
The whole body was covered with thick snow, and some parts of the wicker chair were faintly visible. The only thing clearly exposed was Jiang Wang's face that had just been cleaned. It was naturally a face that even Su Changluo was amazed by.
He enthusiastically stepped forward and asked, "Do you need help?"
The way Jiang Wang was buried in the snow seemed to him that he was in need of help, so he stretched out his hand to sweep the snow off Jiang Wang's body without any explanation.
Looking at Su Changluo in front of him, Jiang Wang took back the thought of refusing, which saved himself trouble.
Su Changluo helped Jiang Wang clear the snow seriously. Jiang Wang watched quietly and suddenly said, "You seem to be injured."
Hearing this, Su Changluo's movements stagnated slightly, and then he said with a smile: "The street was slippery and I accidentally fell down."
Jiang Wang said: "Then you fell quite hard."
Su Changluo looked at the scars exposed under the tattered sleeves of his arms and said, "It's not heavy."
Jiang Wang also took a look and said nothing more.
It didn't seem like much on the surface, but the nutrients Jiang Wang gained from Mr. Fuzhao finally allowed him to exert some basic abilities that a monk should have in his weak state. He could clearly see that Su Changluo had a lot of abilities. Serious internal injuries.
After clearing away the snow, Su Changluo asked a few questions and was about to leave. Jiang Wang stopped him and asked, "What is the name of this town?"
Su Changluo said: "It seems that this is your first time here. If you were familiar, you wouldn't ask this question."
Jiang Wang asked curiously: "Why?"
Su Changluo said: "Because the town does not have a name, it seems that it has not had one since ancient times. Although people have tried to give it a name many times, in the end it was nothing. The people are used to calling the town directly Guoxue, which means "Duoxue". Have a snow day.”
Jiang Wang said: "It's a very strange name."
Su Changluo smiled and said: "If you know the town well, you won't find it strange. Compared with you here alone, buried in the snow, it seems more strange. If it weren't for your face, I would have thought it was really a snowman. I almost wanted to step forward and destroy it with a kick."
Jiang Wang raised his eyebrows and said, "You seem to be a little polite, but not much."
Su Changluo realized that he had said something that could easily get him beaten again, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry."
Jiang Wang waved his hand and said it didn't matter.
Su Changluo's expression suddenly turned serious and he warned: "You may not have come with the caravan, but no matter what happens in the town, as long as the snow has not melted, remember not to go out, even if you have something important to do. , but when you come to a small town, it’s best to stay until spring.”
Jiang Wang wondered: "What's the explanation?"
Su Changluo said: "Because it is surrounded by mountains, whether they are passers-by or merchants, they either have to stop in the town to rest, or they have to go through in one go. Not to mention the past seasons, especially when it snows, most caravans will Choose to go into town and wait until the snow stops before leaving.”
"The people living in the small town will tell them about this, but few caravans are willing to listen. After all, they want to do business and cannot be delayed for too long on the road."
Seeing Jiang Wang listening attentively, Su Changluo's tone gradually became deeper, "The final result... is that they stay in the snow-capped mountains forever."
Jiang Wang looked calm and was not frightened by the atmosphere deliberately created by Su Changluo. Instead, he asked directly: "Is it related to the roar not long ago?"
Su Changluo felt a little bored and said: "Anyway, I'm not trying to scare you. Although some caravans listened to the advice, it is really difficult to wait until spring. As a result, the situation in the town is rarely spread. It's more because People who moved out early narrated.”
"But they have all moved to a relatively close place. After all, they will come back next year, so they can only discourage the current situation. I thought that as long as there are rumors, more people will know about it, but it turns out that is not the case, or maybe some people just don't believe in evil. , deliberately came to the small town."
"Because there weren't that many caravans in previous years, and no monks even heard the news and came. I've been in the town and never been out, so I couldn't figure out what was going on."
Jiang Wang looked at him and said: "Maybe no one believes it and just want to see it with their own eyes. But when you come here, you will stay forever. Outsiders still don't know the truth. In this way, people will continue to come to take risks. If there weren't many caravans in the past, , then even if something happens, it can easily be regarded as an accident."
That's what he said, but Jiang Wang was also confused. This kind of situation really exists in a small town. It's difficult to keep it from being known. Moreover, Su Changluo's words are also problematic. If he stays here forever, how can he talk about coming here for the first time? And the second time? Unless there are other reasons.
"If there is such a phenomenon in a small town, why haven't all the people moved out? According to you, the people who moved out will come back after spring?"
Su Changluo looked a little sad and said: "As long as you stay in the town, there will be no problem. Since the old people are unwilling to move away, and the town is not big, there are not many people there, so they all stay here. Although the old people miss the old days, they all stay here." It makes sense, but I’m actually weird.”
"It's a very unexpected discovery. There were young people who wanted to move away completely, but were scolded by their elders and even locked up severely. I think this kind of thing should happen very often. The strange thing is that I have never noticed it before. All in all, no one mentioned moving out in the end.”
Su Changluo squinted his eyes and said: "Although some people will move out early because of fear, they will eventually come back one by one. This is more like a certain rule of the town. I asked the elders, but I never got an answer. .”
Jiang Wang said thoughtfully: "It seems that your town has many secrets."
Su Changluo took a breath and said, "I will say whatever you want, and you will listen to me casually. If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my house, as long as you don't dislike the shabby home."
Jiang Wang thought for a while and said: "I have a companion... It's okay. She can find me. This distance shouldn't make me unlucky... right?"
Su Changluo didn't understand.
Jiang Wang asked again: "Is your home far away?"
This question has nothing to do with the previous sentence. Jiang Wang is only worried about whether he will be tired if he walks over.
Su Changluo smiled and said: "It's not that far, just two streets."
Jiang Wang was shocked and said: "That's too far!"
Su Changluo looked confused and said: "Are the two streets far apart? The streets in the town are very short. After all, the whole town is not that big."
Jiang Wang breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's okay."
Getting up from the wicker chair, Jiang Wang stretched and let Su Changluo lead the way. He then waved and put the wicker chair into the Kingdom of God. Su Changluo had already turned around and didn't notice that he was walking a little slower, but he was walking a little slower than Jiang Wang. Look a little faster.
Jiang Wang said: "You are really seriously injured."
Su Changluo did not look back and said with a smile: "The road is slippery, so I walked slowly. I am not injured."
Jiang Wang said: "But this speed is just right."
Su Changluo couldn't help but glance back at him with a strange expression, "I think you seem to be more seriously injured."
Jiang Wang smiled and said: "The road is indeed slippery."
Su Changluo could only nod. The two streets were indeed not that far apart, because they reached the end of the street within a few steps. Su Changluo greeted Jiang Wang and turned to the right. The street in front of him was more prosperous. Some of them are bustling with more shops, but actually there are still few people.
Jiang Wang soon saw the caravan again. There was an inn on the right side of the street. There were several carriages and trucks parked at the door. They were all guarded by guards. But because it was snowing, they held umbrellas and sat On the carriage, there was still some wariness between each other.
The street is actually a bit narrow, only the road in front of the inn is wider, and there is a place deliberately prepared to park carriages. Su Changluo pointed to the inn and said: "This is the biggest inn in the town. Usually there is no business, only caravans. It will be full when it comes, and the innkeeper is very stingy, but his son is my good brother, he wears new clothes every year, and then he will give me his old clothes."
Jiang Wang looked at Su Changluo's clothes and said, "I think the business of the inn was really bad in the past."
Su Changluo understood what he meant and said with a smile: "You misunderstood. I am wearing my own clothes. I don't wear any clothes given by others. I just keep them at home."
Jiang Wang asked curiously: "Why don't you wear it?"
Su Changluo said casually: "It will break out soon anyway. There is no need to wear it unless it is a special day."
Jiang Wang didn't ask again, he was thinking about something silently.
Then he asked another question, "Are you always so talkative and so careless when facing strangers?"
Su Changluo was startled for a moment and stopped walking: "I seem to have said something that I shouldn't have said. Just pretend you didn't hear me. Just remember not to run out."
Jiang Wang was speechless.
Perhaps it was because the people here were simple and honest, but there were obviously hidden secrets. He couldn't guarantee whether Su Changluo was truly innocent, or whether he was pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger. After all, it was true that Su Changluo was injured, and it was not serious.
Su Changluo and Jiang Wang continued to walk forward. When they came to the inn, someone who had been on the pavilion happened to come out. He happily grabbed Su Changluo and said, "A beautiful lady has come to my inn to take you with me." Go and have a look.”
He deliberately lowered his voice, after all, the so-called beauty's guard was not far away.
Su Changluo's eyes lit up, but after looking at Jiang Wang behind him, and thinking of his current situation, he resolutely said: "It's simply ridiculous. I, Mr. Su, have been upright in my life, and I am ashamed to be associated with you!"
