From the back door of the store, a variegated rhinoceros and a pure white tall horse drove out, immediately attracting countless eyes hidden in the wind and snow to follow them.
"Brother Leng, have you ever heard of the ruthless man and the stick in the Guandong Mountains?"
Liang Ziyi sat on the snow riding horse, holding the wine jar in his arms and took two sips, then turned to Leng Yun and asked.
Leng Yun looked around, nodded and said, "I heard it!"
Liang Ziyi chatted while drinking: "Actually, I think people are complicated and should not be either/or. Maybe there is a kind of person who is good at using the characteristics of both to hide himself. This kind of person should be called... …”
"Old Six!"
Leng Yun answered casually.
"Ahem!"
Liang Ziyi took a sip of wine, thought for a moment, nodded with approval and said: "Although I don't understand the meaning, it sounds very consistent with that kind of temperament!"
After the two of them walked away, in the woods around the business inn, behind the snow pack, four or five teams of people walked out silently. They were all the drinkers in the house just now. They formed their own gangs and at the same time kept away from others.
After a while, various people followed different routes, keeping up with the two people in the snow and wind at a distance, never walking with other teams.
The last remaining group of people who had not moved yet was the caravan headed by a strong man with a beard.
"Brother, everyone else has followed, let's leave quickly!"
"If that man surnamed Leng can't hold himself back and kills Master Liang in advance, he won't be able to catch anything if he gets there too late!"
The subordinates urged impatiently.
The strong man with the beard shook his head and asked, "How are you sure that it was the man named Leng who killed Young Master Liang?"
All the men looked at each other and looked at the strong man with puzzled expressions.
The strong man with the beard raised his hand and touched the scar on his forehead, and said in a deep voice: "He clearly hung up the sign but had to follow the mountain patrol in person. Isn't this kind of boss who took off his pants and farted? I think he got ready early in the morning and then fell out. , remove the grinding mill and kill the donkey!"
"Who? Kill who?"
"That Young Master Bangchui wants to kill Leng?"
"A ruthless man who can even kill an old man with a knife, how can he kill a pampered young master like him?"
Everyone shook their heads when they heard this.
The strong man with the beard sneered and asked: "A pampered young man can brave the snow to cross the Guandong Mountains? Can he drink ten jars of Shaojiao brewed by bandits? That snow riding horse does belong to the Tianyi Company, but who can prove that the riding horse The person on the horse must be the young owner of Tianyi Company?"
Everyone was dumbfounded, recalling the cynical face in the inn, and a chill suddenly jumped from the soles of their feet to Tianling Gai.
"Then what should we do next?"
Everyone was confused and fell into a dilemma for a while.
"There's no rush, leave one person to follow at a distance and mark the place along the way. Let's send this cargo back first, and then go to Tianyi Trading Company to find out the news. It won't be too late to catch up!"
The strong man with the beard said confidently, then chose one brother to stay and led the others down the mountain.
As the sun sets over the western mountains, the cold wind once again envelopes the entire Guandong Mountains.
A bonfire was lit under a leeward hillside, and the aroma of sauced meat wafted through the forest with the warmth of the fireworks.
"That is to say, if you go out with this young master, you can get enough food and wine. Stop working and come and have a taste!"
Liang Ziyi held the wine jar in his arms, skewered two pieces of sauced meat on a tree branch until they were shiny and shiny, and greeted Leng Yun who was digging snow at the foot of the hillside.
Leng Yun walked back to the fire, threw the bark he tore off into the fire, took out two steamed buns from his arms, slowly crushed them into crumbs in his hands, and said: "Remember, I want to live in Guandong." The first rule of life in the mountains is don’t eat from other people’s hands!”
"I have heard of this rule, except for the business inns opened by bandits! The bandits in Guandong Mountain generally do not kill in their own territory. As long as the passing merchants spend money at the business inn, they can not only eat and drink well, but also enjoy good food and drink along the way. No one will harass me, this is an old rule for many years!"
Liang Ziyi handed the steaming meat skewers to Leng Yun and shook it very coquettishly.
Leng Yun poured the crumbs of cornstarch in his hand into his mouth, mixed it with a handful of snow, and looked at Liang Ziyi expressionlessly while chewing.
Liang Ziyi shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "I know this meat has passed through my hands, so why don't you just treat me like I'm not a human being? The way you eat it makes me feel uncomfortable!"
Leng Yun turned his head, looked at the dark woods in front of him, and said without any emotion: "After eating, we went into the snow cave to rest. It's windy and cold at night, and the snow cave is warmer than a temporary tent!"
Liang Ziyi took back the meat skewers angrily, looked at Leng Yun very curiously, and asked, "When did you come to Guandong Mountain?"
Leng Yun frowned with dissatisfaction, but still replied: "I haven't left since I was born!"
"Oh? That's strange. You have a temperament that doesn't belong to the Guandong Mountains. You don't look like a native of the mountains!"
Liang Ziyi asked curiously.
"Maybe it was carried in the womb! Ordinary people will forget what happened in the previous life after being reincarnated. Maybe I am special and I still carry some habits from the previous life!"
Leng Yun sighed softly, with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
Liang Ziyi looked at Leng Yun's lost look of reminiscing, and was about to continue asking when he suddenly heard a sound of horses neighing from down the mountain.
Leng Yun suddenly stood up and quietly held the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand.
Not long after, a group of people slowly appeared in sight.
Seven or eight shabby-looking men in tattered clothes, riding horses and carrying swords, probably took the wrong way up the mountain, and trudged through the snow that barely covered the horses' legs to the bottom of the hillside.
"Here, these people are dressed as bandits from the mountains. Hurry, protect me!"
After Liang Ziyi saw the visitor's attire clearly, he immediately screamed and hid behind Leng Yun.
When the leader heard the sound, he immediately noticed the figure in front of the fire and made a gesture to gallop forward.
Leng Yun's eyes narrowed slightly, and his toes touched the ground like thunder. Half a dead branch burning with flames flew out from the fire in front of him, hitting the person sitting on the horse's head.
"Hiss~"
The horse was startled by the fire, neighing and jumping, and suddenly fell onto its back.
But what is surprising is that two figures fell down on a horse!
Liang Ziyi quietly poked his head out from behind Leng Yun, and by the light of the unburnt dead branch, he saw a woman with her hands tied behind her back and a piece of cloth stuffed in her mouth.
Although the woman was so frightened that her face turned pale, it was still obvious that she had a good-looking appearance. She was fair and tender and looked like a young lady from a wealthy family. She was wearing a red leather windbreaker. The horse's coat happened to be similar in color, so she was put on the horse's back. , it is impossible to detect it without looking closely.
"Brother, Master Gao! We just want to ask for directions!"
The man who fell off the horse got up, waved his arms and shouted to the two people on the hillside.
"What way?"
Leng Yun asked loudly.
"I heard that there is a shop in the mountains of Guandong. I would like to know how to get to the nearest shop?"
the man asked.
Leng Yun raised his hand and pointed to the forest ahead and said, "Go through this forest and you can see the fire after just two steps!"
"Thank you!"
The man thanked her, threw the woman in red back on the horse, and hurried into the dense forest.
After the sound of horse hooves faded, Liang Ziyi quickly detoured to Leng Yun and asked with a puzzled look on his face: "The nearest store is the one we came from. Isn't it in the direction you pointed at?"
"In Guandong Mountain, never ask a stranger for directions, unless you want to die!"
Leng Yun stepped on the fire and turned around to get into the snow cave.
"Then, where does the road you pointed out lead to?"
Liang Ziyi asked endlessly.
"Wild Bear Dang!"
"Huh? That's the most deadly place in Kanto. People who go in never come out alive. You are so cruel!"
"sleep early!"
"Speaking of which, I saw that kick you just performed at the foot of the mountain. It seemed to be called a rub kick, right?"
"sleep!"
