Hearing this, Zhang Yan knew something in his heart.
The absence of people from the Evil Wolf Village was most likely because something serious had happened, and the leader of the convoy suspected that the Evil Wolf Village was not the only bandit that had an accident, but that something might have happened to all the three groups of bandits in this mountain. The basis was that the bandits were powerful five years ago. The same goes for shuffling the cards. At that time, what the boss knew was that, in order to show off their power, the newly emerged bandits, those who might be in trouble this time, chose to eat both men and goods, leaving no one alive.
If something happens now, it may be considered karma. Zhang Yan thought in his heart.
However, even if he felt the danger, the team leader did not dare to turn around and go back with the team immediately, because no matter how he looked at it, this matter was not so sure. If the slightest disturbance caused the horse racing dealer to lose this business, then the team leader and The guard leader definitely doesn't have to do this anymore.
But if you continue to move forward, your life may be at risk. Money is important but life is more important. So I thought of a compromise, which was to rest early, extend the day's itinerary, and then send a few people to explore and explore forward the next day, and then turn back when it was almost time to reach the second level. In this way, I will have something to say to my boss when I get back. It's not that I'm afraid of death, but I walked back half way and realized something was wrong. This can be said to be cautious and adaptable.
Because according to the bandit reshuffle five years ago, all accidents occurred at the second level, so this time it is also a reference for the team to consider.
Although Zhang Yan was eavesdropping, he didn't think about going out. He also agreed with the reaction of the team leader. If he had bravely rushed forward despite knowing that there might be danger ahead, there is no way Zhang Yan would have intervened to stir things up. For now, just follow the idea of taking the lead in the team. Wait until dawn tomorrow, and make a pretense of moving forward a little, so that you can turn back with an excuse.
When the time comes, Zhang Yan will think of another way. He is not in a hurry anyway. You can choose whether to follow back and take a detour, or to sneak over by yourself.
The convoy chose a relatively open place to camp. Unhook the horse from the car, then take it to the side to feed and rest. As for the vehicles, they will be surrounded by a circle on two levels, and people will gather in the circle to rest. If the weather is nice, I will make a fire and go to bed. If the weather is bad, the tent will be put up with tarpaulin.
The weather has been pretty good during the last few days out of the city. Except for a strong wind one night, it has been smooth sailing. The night won't be too difficult.
Zhang Yan didn't prepare the food himself. He paid the team members to eat with the team, which usually consisted of three meals of dry biscuits and one meal of dried meat. Don't think about it being delicious, it's just enough to fill you up.
Zhang Yan sat by the fire and watched the leader and the guard leader come back after the discussion. Both of them had calm faces and did not show any timidity. They called on their men to set up defense or organize the convoy's goods. After a while of busy work, the sky darkened, and everyone sat together, each around the nearby fire and began to eat.
Zhang Yan put the dry pancakes next to the fire to bake until soft, so they would be easier to bite.
"Brother, why are you rubbing those beans one by one? Are they like the rations prepared by the team for the horses?" The coachman named Xiong has been close to Zhang Yan these days. After all, they have been there all day long. Zhang Yan was good at talking about the car, and the driver was talkative, so the two of them got along pretty well. From the first day, I saw Zhang Yan holding more than a dozen dried beans in his hand and dishing them out without any problem. It was just that he didn’t ask too many questions when he wasn’t familiar with them at first, but now that he’s familiar with them, he couldn’t help but ask.
Zhang Yan did not stop the movement of his hand. He held twelve round beans in his left hand. He picked them up one by one with his right hand and twisted them a few times. He kept repeating these actions over and over again. It would indeed seem strange to others looking at it.
"Haha, Brother Xiong, this is nothing to do. The day before, I saw the team members feeding the horses, so I went to grab some beans and throw them away. Hehe, I'm used to them now." Zhang Yan He explained with a smile.
"Habit? Tsk, your habit is quite special. By the way, don't sleep too deeply when you go to bed tonight. Just be careful."
"Ah? What's wrong?"
"Hey, didn't you see that all the guards were out today? They used to take turns to keep watch in groups of three and three. And the resting place today is not right. I always feel that something is wrong. You should be careful."
The coachman surnamed Xiong had a look of worry on his face. He had been driving coaches for more than three years. He used to drive coaches in other horse and carriage shops. He had seen a lot of things. Today's events seemed very abnormal to him. Inexplicably, I always feel a little panicked. By reminding Zhang Yan, he could vent his uneasiness.
"Huh?" Zhang Yan was sure that the driver next to him would not hear the previous conversation between the team leader and the guard leader like him. Now that he was reminded, he should have had some premonitions.
So Zhang Yan looked at the other person's face intently and tried to calculate it using facial features. The result is not unknown but shocking.
The appearance of this driver surnamed Xiong turned out to be a sign of great misfortune, and he was bleeding!
Generally speaking, fortune tellers cannot use it on yourself, but you can use the similarity of "peers" to find short-term fortunes that may be relevant to you from other people's hexagrams.
Undoubtedly, Zhang Yan and the coachman next to him in this barren mountain are absolutely "people on a boat". The other party is now in the fate of "a sign of great evil, and there will be bloodshed", even if Zhang Yan will not completely agree with him. The other party is the same, but it will definitely be affected.
What would happen so that the driver next to him would see the blood in front of his eyes? Zhang Yan might not have guessed this at another time. But now there is no need for him to guess, because there is only one reason that will bring about the bloody disaster.
Bandits are coming!
This had to be taken seriously by Zhang Yan. He calmly made calculations on the faces of the other coachmen next to the fire. With his current level of cultivation at the Mysterious Vein Realm, it would not take much effort to calculate the short-term fortunes of these ordinary people, just a cup of tea. I can count it all. The results were without exception, and they were all the same as that of the coachman named Xiong, a sign of great danger and bloodshed!
The so-called "current" word actually seems vague, but it is not. Generally, the word "current" means "within the day".
It was already nightfall at this time, it should be almost just after midnight, and there was not much left before this day.
In other words, the danger is imminent, and it may fall on the head at any time, causing blood and flesh to fly everywhere!
Zhang Yan had to make quick calculations in his mind. It's not a big problem for him to escape on his own, but what about the dozens of people in the convoy? Watch them die?
But if it's to save people, I don't have a clue. Those were not just one or two bandits, but perhaps hundreds or thousands of people. Even if there were only 20% warriors among them, it would not be a huge force that Zhang Yan could resist today.
Zhang Yan quickly thought of a solution, and finally his eyes fell on the twelve beans he had been holding in his hand.
perhaps......
