I blame the system for licking dogs
Chapter 142 The Mysterious Old Man
After separating from Jiang Qancao, Liu Zhengjing took Xiong Xiaoxiao and Zhang Jinshan on the road again.
Liu Zhengjing did not test Xiong Xiaoxiao again. He was worried that he would be exposed if he didn't find anything useful. That was Gan Luo.
As for Zhang Jinshan and Song Lang, they belong to the same type. Although both of them seem to be useless, Liu Zhengjing believes that there are no useless people in this world. When they find a suitable place, they will shine.
Mengzhou is so backward that any ordinary citizen of the Qin Dynasty is qualified to be a mentor wherever he goes. Wang Zhang's long-term policy of obscuring the people has successfully isolated the herdsmen of Mengzhou from modern civilization. All Liu Zhengjing has to do is to bring civilization to the forefront.
The seeds were brought to Mengzhou.
It's definitely not possible to rely on these two people alone. This is a huge project with a long way to go, and it all depends on people.
The Sheriff's Department car was driven into a ditch by Liu Zhengjing, and he bought a van that was about to be scrapped at a garage and started on the road again.
There were several road jams on the road, so Liu Zhengjing asked Zhang Jinshan to get off the bus in advance, bypass the road jams and meet again, and thus successfully left Yanzhou and entered Liaozhou.
He knew that the only suspect whose face the other party could grasp was Zhang Jinshan, and he himself had already changed into his original face.
It was already very cold when we arrived in Liaozhou, so Liu Zhengzheng didn't care. Zhang Jinshan was also a warrior and could withstand the cold, but Xiong Xiaoxiao suffered.
Liu Zhengjing had to stop for repairs and bought a cart full of things, all of which were in serious shortage in Mengzhou.
Then we got on the road again, and after driving for several more hours, the car had to stop. There was already a snow-white world in front of us.
Thick snow covered the original road, making it impossible for ordinary vehicles to move forward.
Liu Zhengjing and the other three had to get out of the car and proceed on foot.
Zhang Jinshan was carrying Xiong Xiaoxiao on his back, while Liu Zhengzheng was carrying a small mountain of supplies, both of which were reluctant to throw away. There was nothing at my sister's place, including body soap, facial cleanser, sunscreen, shampoo, and dozens of new clothes, including
underwear.
A woman who loves cleanliness like Lin Qingyue must have been very uncomfortable during this period. Although she didn't smell at all, it didn't mean that she didn't feel uncomfortable.
Don't ask him how he knew Lin Qingyue's underwear size. Anyway, he knew it since he was a child. It grew up one size at a time, cup by cup, under his attention.
The three of them walked for four or five hours before stopping to rest. Walking on the grassland covered by heavy snow was a very despairing thing. There were only two monotonous colors between the sky and the white snow, and it was endless and slow.
There are no embellishments.
Liu Zhengjing's inner strength surged, and he waved his hands one after another, clearing a small area, revealing the half-yellow and half-green turf under the snow, and started to light a fire for cooking.
Liu Zhengjing rummaged through the huge package and found some seasonings, and asked Zhang Jinshan to handle the two hares.
The two hares were caught on the road. The rabbits were too obvious on a snowfield, and they couldn't run fast, so they were easily caught by Liu Zhengjing.
After Liu Zhengzheng lit the charcoal that had been prepared, Zhang Jinshan also cleaned the hare, skewered it with an iron skewer, and slowly grilled it.
Ten minutes later, the charcoal fire became more and more intense, and the hare began to emit oil. The hare that is preparing for the winter is fat this season.
When Liu Zhengjing sprinkled various seasonings on it, the smell of meat came out.
Xiong Xiaoxiao secretly swallowed several times, but Liu Zhengzheng noticed that he was just a child.
Zhang Jinshan was also a little greedy, but he knew that he was not that close to the two brothers, and he only had two hares, so he could only try to cover up his greed.
After a while, Liu Zhengjing felt that the hare was ripe and handed one to Xiong Xiaoxiao.
Then he picked up another one and tore off a rabbit leg. Zhang Jinshan was very happy, it was good to get a rabbit leg.
He is very self-aware, and the young master in front of him must have a great background, and now that he is not protected by this young man, he will probably be captured and the outcome is unpredictable, so he has already made the decision to work for Liu Zhengjing
.
"Here you go, eat it." Liu Zhengzheng left one rabbit leg and handed the rest of the roasted rabbit to Zhang Jinshan.
Zhang Jinshan was stunned and waved his hands in a panic, "No, no, I'm not hungry..."
"You can take it if you want. I'm at a high level and this road won't affect me. If you don't want to get lost in the snowy field, just give it to me." Liu Zhengjing couldn't refuse.
Zhang Jinshan opened his mouth but said nothing. He took the rabbit meat and started eating it in silence with his head lowered. He didn't know what he was thinking.
"Brother, I'm full, let me give it to you." Xiong Xiaoxiao handed Liu Zhengjing more than half of the rabbit meat left in his hand.
Liu Zhengzheng smiled and said, "You go ahead and eat. I'm in a state where I can go without eating or drinking for a few days and there's no problem. However, you're still growing. Eat quickly. We'll probably have our next meal tomorrow."
"You go ahead and eat. My belly is small and I will be full as soon as I eat."
"You can eat if you are told, I don't need it."
"If you don't want to eat, then give it to me." While the big one and the small one were arguing, a voice suddenly came in.
Liu Zhengzheng was stunned for a moment, and then he suddenly became furious. He jumped up and looked behind him. He had already grabbed the fishing gear box next to him, and was ready to take action at any time.
"Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong, I don't mean any harm, I'm just... I'm hungry and want to ask for something to eat." An old man with a long beard stood not far away, and there was a donkey beside him.
Liu Zhengjing did not let down his guard at all. He looked at the old man carefully. He couldn't tell whether he had any strength. He looked easy-going. There were not many wrinkles on his face. He looked like he was in his fifties or sixties, but he seemed to be older.
The road was blocked by heavy snow, and most people would never go deep into this place. Moreover, he was still a very old man, and his clothes were very thin. All signs showed that this old man was not an ordinary person.
What really made Liu Zhengzheng nervous was that he didn't hear the old man approaching at all. Although the wind was noisy on the grassland, Liu Zhengjing's enhanced hearing could definitely hear the sound of a rabbit treading on the snow, let alone one person and one donkey!
After taking a closer look, Liu Zhengjing's pupils shrank slightly, and there was not a single footprint behind the old man! If he hadn't been mentally strong, he would have thought he had seen a ghost.
"Grandpa, you can eat it." Like a kind and innocent child, Xiong Xiaoxiao ran a few steps forward and handed the rabbit meat to the old man.
Liu Zhengzheng looked at the weird Xiong Xiaoxiao, thoughtfully, put down his guard, and put on an easy-going expression on his face.
The old man looked at the rabbit meat that Xiong Xiaoxiao handed over, and his beard was so happy that his beard fluttered, "You are such a kind-hearted kid, thank you, thank you."
After saying that, he started to eat like a starving ghost reincarnated. In the blink of an eye, only a few bones were left in the hare. After eating, the old man put his fingers into his mouth and sucked it, like a child eating spicy strips.
Realizing that three pairs of human eyes and a pair of donkey eyes were staring at him, the old man was a little embarrassed, "This... this... I'm really hungry. I don't know how to thank you... Well, I'll give you the donkey."
."Eat a rabbit and give a donkey? This old man is probably Watt.
"No, no, no, a donkey is too precious, and it's just a rabbit. We are very happy to be able to help people, isn't it, brother?"
Liu Zhengzheng looked at Xiong Xiaoxiao's innocent and kind appearance and cooperated, "Old man, don't be polite. I see that your clothes are thin, so why don't you come over and warm yourself up."
The old man beamed with joy when he heard this, "Thank you so much. The old man really hasn't had anything hot to drink in a few days."
With that said, he walked into the small circle.
Liu Zhengjing handed the old man the iron teapot that had been warming over the charcoal fire for a while, "Why did the old man come here?"
The old man took the iron teapot, held it in his hands, blew it gently, and took a big sip. Then he sighed and said, "Blame it!"
The donkey he was pointing at seemed to understand, and when the old man pointed at it, it snorted unhappily.
"It clearly doesn't know the road, and it keeps leading blindly. I've been wandering around in this snowfield for a whole day! I haven't eaten for a few days before, and I thought I was going to die in the snowfield..."
Even if all the creatures in the snowfield are dead, you won't be able to die, Liu Zhengzheng thought to himself.
"I'm surprised. My old friend has never lost my way with me before, but this time he seemed to be possessed by an evil spirit. He kept spinning in circles. I thought this was not a grinding road. Besides, it had never been a grinding road before.
…”
Liu Zhengzheng could tell that the old man was a bit arrogant.
Just when he was thinking about how to explore the depths of each other with this old man, the old man suddenly stopped talking. Looking along the old man's line of sight, Xiong Xiaoxiao was touching the donkey's head.
"Xiaoxiao, be careful of it kicking you!" The temper of animals like donkeys is no joke. In his previous life, Liu Zhengjing was kicked by a donkey raised in the same village when he was naughty when he was a child. A hoof sent him flying several meters away.
"No, look, it's very comfortable?"
The donkey indeed showed an expression of enjoyment.
Liu Zhengzheng secretly glanced at the old man, his eyes clearly showed surprise.
The old man walked towards Xiong Xiaoxiao, "Kid, what's your name?"
"Xiong Xiaoxiao."
"The name is very cute. I think we are destined to hit it off. I am still in need of an apprentice. Are you in need of a master?"
Liu Zhengzheng's mind was a bit out of tune. Where was he? The old man's criteria for selecting his disciples shouldn't be just that they are pleasing to the eye, right?
Xiong Xiaoxiao looked embarrassed, "Apprentice? Is he a warrior or a sorcerer? But I haven't awakened yet..."
"It doesn't matter, you can awaken and your talent is pretty good." The old man lured Xiong Xiaoxiao with a smile.
Xiong Xiaoxiao looked at Liu Zhengjing and said, "I want to listen to my brother."
The old man frowned and put on a smile again, "Young man, do you agree?"
At this time, Liu Zhengzheng licked his face and leaned over, "Old senior, I also want to become a disciple. Can you see if I can awaken?"
The old man's eyes were deep, "The old man can't teach you."
"Why? Is it because my aptitude cannot be awakened?"
The old man shook his head, "You don't have any real energy at all, but you already have the temperament of a master. In addition, you have a deep mind and your future achievements will be high. I can't teach you."
Why doesn't it sound like a compliment...I have a lot of thoughts? Is that monster Xiong Xiaoxiao simple?
However, Liu Zhengjing's evaluation of the old man has been raised to a higher level. Can this old man see through his own strength?
