The old monk was overjoyed and quickly took the wolf tooth from Ren Ning's hand as if he had found a treasure.
"Amitabha, it is very good. There is a saying in Buddhism that saving one life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. The merits of this act of a donor are immeasurable, and God will repay you sooner or later."
Ren Ning waved his hand calmly, "Master, it's too late. Let's wait until the food is actually distributed to the people of Laigu."
He did not believe in Buddhism, and his hands were still covered in blood.
I don't care at all about the generous rewards from God.
The most important thing is that the provisions and doctors behind the Eighth Prince had been collected and set out in the middle of last year. However, one year is about to pass, but it is still stuck in Laigu County, and I don't know when it will be delivered to the Yanjie Fortress.
By analogy, even if Yingpan purchases the food and delivers it in time, who knows when it will fall into the hands of the people?
Maybe it's the moon in the mirror again.
"The donor does not need to worry too much. Lao Na has led his disciples to preach Buddhism and save the people in Laigu County for some time. They have formed many good relationships, so they are still a bit thin."
He said: "As long as your wife sends the grain to Laigu County, Lao Na will be able to distribute it one by one to the people who are in urgent need."
Ren Ning and the two were doubtful.
Soon they believed it.
As ships headed west along Laishui River, they would occasionally encounter rebels blocking ships.
The opponent held a sharp weapon and boarded the ship with murderous intent.
However, after seeing Master Hongguang on the boat, most of the rioters quickly apologized and then respectfully let the boat leave.
Occasionally, if you encounter a few people who refuse to let them go, you only need to give them some silver, food or even cloth, and you can continue to the west without using force.
It saved Ren Ning a lot of worry.
He looked thoughtfully at the small villages or small towns along the coast that were closed and guarded.
Princess Yiguang had just sent her escort to Laigu County at the end of last year, so it was not strange that the coffin of General Huo Zheng, the Duke of Old Town, could be returned to Xingji City smoothly.
It is estimated that Master Hongguang put a lot of effort into it.
After another three days, the boat successfully reached the upper reaches of Laishui River.
Ren Ning and Lei Er went ashore.
The two of them looked up and saw the rolling green mountains in front of them.
It is the long-lost Luoxia Mountain.
Amitabha!
Master Hongguang sang a Buddhist chant and said goodbye on the boat.
"Let me send you two here. The road ahead is winding and difficult, and there may be Xiliang troops. Please take care of yourself and come back soon."
After watching the boat leave, the two of them rested for most of the day even though they were impatient. After the two horses regained their energy, they entered the vast Luoxia Mountain.
They took the post road.
Ren Ning looked around with his golden finger and found no danger.
"Chasing the Wind and Running Thunder," Lei Er joked, patting his beloved horse, "You two are really not up to par."
After training in the Huchou River in the south for so long, the seasickness of the two horses only improved a little.
Ren Ning said nothing.
The boat Master Hongguang found was not big, and most of the time the two horses could only stand motionless. Even a flick of the tail would hit the cabin.
That is to say, Zhui Feng and Ben Lei have received strict training, and they will stay still without making a sound no matter how uncomfortable they feel. If it had been another fierce horse, he would have lost his temper and capsized the boat.
After a few miles, there was a smell of meat coming from the front.
When Xunxiang took a closer look, their faces changed drastically.
At the corner at the foot of the mountain ahead, squatting were a group of people in ragged clothes and dirty bodies.
They had built a fire and were roasting a humanoid object. The severed heads and stripped clothes were thrown not far away.
Ren Ning's eyes narrowed slightly.
The clothes thrown on the ground looked familiar to both him and Lei Er. They were actually the standard clothes of the county soldiers.
He couldn't even identify which county soldier he was from.
It is estimated that the county soldier was preparing to return east or west to deliver the news, but he was killed here.
Sizzling...
The stomach-turning popping sound of grease was heard from time to time.
However, this group of people didn't care at all. Instead, they stared at the fire with gleaming eyes. It's like a wild beast that chooses people to eat.
Hearing the sound of horse hooves, they turned to look.
"Two horses!" Someone shouted in surprise.
And they are two strong and fat horses. It looked like it was enough to feed them for several days.
In an instant, a pair of hungry green eyes turned blood red.
"Two fat sheep are coming. Capture the two horses first, then kill the two and burn them."
Ignoring the meat that was about to be roasted, the leader took the lead and rushed forward with his only hatchet.
Lei Er looked away from the clothes on the ground, and the veins on his forehead jumped.
He turned to look at Ren Ning and saw that his face was expressionless and showed no intention at all.
drive!
Rushing like thunder and lightning.
Lei Er, who was on his back, raised his machete with a roar and struck it out hard.
The sword flashed.
The leading bandit's eyes had been staring greedily at the two horses. It wasn't until Ben Lei rushed in front of him that he noticed the weapons gleaming in Lei's hands, and his expression suddenly changed.
"Nielie!" He screamed strangely.
However, before the voice fell, he was cut in two by Lei Er with his sword as he had no way to hide.
Buzz~
"Run quickly."
The bandits who rushed over later were frightened out of their wits. They threw away their sticks and turned around to run away.
Everyone wishes their parents had two extra legs.
However, it was impossible for two legs to outrun Ben Lei's four legs. Besides, there was Ren Ning behind him, coldly raising his bow and arrow.
As long as he sees someone running out of Lei Er's attack range, he will shoot him with an arrow.
Not long after, only two of the more than twenty people were left alive, kneeling in front of Ren Ning tremblingly.
"Two kings, please spare your lives." They banged their heads, "As long as they don't kill us, the younger one is willing to do anything..."
Ren Ning ignored this and asked coldly: "Where did the county soldiers come from, and who killed them?"
"I don't know," the two of them chatted with each other, "we saw him lying on the ground when we came down the mountain, so..."
snort!
Lei Er stabbed down, and one of the men's arms suddenly started to bleed like a pillar.
"If you don't tell the truth, you'll die!"
The two of them were so frightened that they screamed: "Don't kill us, we really don't know where he came from and where he went."
After a while, they finally gathered their composure and quickly pointed at the leader of Lei Er who attacked first, "Dagang set a trap for hunting, but failed to catch the beast. We were very hungry, so..."
The man hesitated and said no more.
Ren Ning was silent for a long time before speaking: "Are you from Laigu or Dingxi?"
The two looked at each other in even greater panic, and had no choice but to reply in shock: "Lai... Lai Gu."
"Where do you usually live?"
"Luoxia Mountain," the two of them did not dare to think too much and raised their hands to point to the mountain, "Laigu County is now full of war and chaos. We have been hiding in the Jingang Village on the mountain for several months."
They felt a little aggrieved and said, "We wouldn't have gone down the mountain if we didn't have anything to eat."
Ren Ning nodded.
King Kong Village is an old place.
When sending the spirit back to his hometown and passing by Luoxia Mountain, Lei Er led someone to kill him once. Unexpectedly, it has become a den of bandits again.
He asked again: "Where in the Luoxia Mountains are the Xiliang people now?"
"People from Xiliang," the two remaining survivors looked at each other in shock, "Have people from Xiliang come here to kill us?"
Ren Ning said nothing and waved to Lei Er.
It seems that this group of people has no idea what happened to the west of the Luoxia Mountains. There is no need to ask any more questions to avoid dirtying their mouths.
"Bury him." Lei Er pointed to the meat ball on the fire.
Under the bloody sword, the two of them did not dare to disobey, so they had to hold back their saliva and go back to take the human body off the fire and bury it together with the head.
As soon as the soil was covered, Lei Er's eyes flashed fiercely, and he slashed hard with the machete in his hand.
The two of them knew something was wrong, but they still felt lucky. At this time, they couldn't help but look shocked when they saw Lei Er take action.
It's just that they have been short of food and clothing for a long time, so they can dodge Lei Er's sword.
There were two swishing sounds, and blood immediately splattered on the spot.
Ren and Ning drove their horses away with cold expressions, ignoring the bloody corpses on the ground.
