Several people searched in a large circle and finally found the skin and skeleton of the horse that had been peeled off in the woods behind the house.
The horses had been killed by those Jedi bandits a long time ago, and the meat they ate was actually horse meat.
Helpless, Chu Tianshu and the others could only gather some food and leave on foot.
After several people walked a certain distance, Chu Tianshu glanced at the Jedi beauty who was following him obediently, and asked: "Girl, what do you call me?"
"ah?"
The Jedi beauty hurriedly replied, "My name is Kang Yaru."
This Jedi beauty named Kang Yaru had obviously never traveled far since she was a child. Even though she was walking empty-handed, within half an hour of walking, she was out of breath and her legs were too weak to walk.
Chu Tianshu glanced at Long Xiang next to him, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Young Master Long, Miss Kang can't walk anymore, don't you want to help?"
Long Xiang took out the wine bottle from his arms, took two sips, and said helplessly: "Why me again?"
Ren Changfeng said jokingly: "The most sympathetic person here is Mr. Long. If you don't help, who will?"
Chu Tianshu smiled and said: "Who makes people like you?"
Long Xiang knew that Chu Tianshu and Ren Changfeng were deliberately making things difficult for him, so he smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying nothing more.
After walking for another twenty minutes, Kang Yaru had obviously begun to slow down everyone.
Long Xiang hesitated for a moment, then came to Kang Yaru and said, "Miss Kang, I'll carry you on my back."
After saying that, he squatted down in front of Kang Yaru.
"What?"
Kang Yaru couldn't understand Long Xiang's words and looked at Chu Tianshu in shock.
Chu Tianshu said: "Young Master Long cherishes you and said he would carry you on his back."
Kang Yaru suddenly blushed with embarrassment and hurriedly waved her hand to refuse: "No, no, no."
Long Xiang said softly: "It doesn't matter."
Kang Yaru couldn't help but wave her hands to refuse.
Chu Tianshu's tone turned cold: "If you can't keep up with us, no one will stop and wait for you."
Kang Yaru's face changed slightly.
She hesitated for a moment, then crawled onto Long Xiang's back.
Chu Tianshu learned from Kang Yaru that there was no concept of time in this Jedi, so naturally there was no way to keep time.
As time passed, Chu Tianshu and the others could no longer feel the passage of time.
They took Kang Yaru and walked in the direction of Hongye City, stopping all the way.
I don’t know how long it took, but all the food they brought was finished, but they still didn’t arrive at Hongye City.
Asked Kang Yaru how far it was, she couldn't tell her why.
Fortunately, they could occasionally encounter some wild animals, and with the archer Long Xiang here, they didn't have to worry about going hungry.
In the woods, Chu Tianshu and others lit a bonfire, and they were grilling meat around the bonfire.
A whole wild boar-like animal was placed on the fire, roasted until golden and oily, and sprinkled with spices and salt collected from the bandits. It was very tempting.
Long Xiang tore off a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, chewed it happily for a few times, then shook the empty wine bottle and sighed: "Such a fragrant barbecue, it would be perfect if paired with some good wine."
They were worried about whether they would be able to find food, so when they left the gangsters' houses, they just brought as much food as possible and not much wine.
Ge Changqing rolled his eyes and muttered: "It's a beautiful thought."
Glancing at Kang Yaru who was leaning against a big tree and wondering what she was thinking, Chu Tianshu suddenly thought of Qiao Shiyuan. How worried would she be if she knew something happened to her?
At this time, Chu Tianshu suddenly heard a ringing sound carried by the wind.
He stood up suddenly, and the long black knife formed in his right hand with a click.
Ren Changfeng also subconsciously stood up and asked in shock: "Young Master Chu, what's wrong?"
Ge Changqing said: "Someone is coming this way, and there are quite a few of them."
Ren Changfeng said nervously: "What should I do?
Should we hide first?"
The cultivation levels of several people on his side have not yet recovered, and he really feels uneasy.
Chu Tianshu shook his head and said, "It's too late."
While he was talking, he could already see a team winding up.
The ringing just now was caused by the bells on the horses' necks.
Several people picked up weapons one after another, and Kang Yaru also hid behind Long Xiang nervously.
The queue on the opposite side was very long, and it looked like there were hundreds of horses. Most of the horses were carrying goods on their backs, like a caravan.
Seeing Chu Tianshu and others next to the bonfire, the caravan stopped.
First, the three cavalrymen came towards Chu Tianshu and others.
The three knights came to a stop five steps away from Chu Tianshu.
The knight at the front turned over and dismounted, took two steps forward, clasped his fists and said, "Friends, we are a business group from Snow Wind City. Where are you going?"
Chu Tianshu also clasped his fists: "We are going to Hongye City, where are you?"
It's just a destination, there's no need to hide it.
"What a coincidence, we are also going to Red Leaf City."
The man smiled and continued: "It's still a long way to Hongye City. Why don't you join our business group?"
After saying that, the man quickly explained: "I can guarantee that the prices of our business group are definitely very fair."
If the man didn't add the latter sentence, Chu Tianshu would definitely doubt his intentions.
He said he wanted to collect money, but Chu Tianshu's vigilance weakened a lot. It's understandable to make money.
Chu Tianshu nodded and said, "Wait a moment, I'll discuss it with a few of my companions."
The man smiled and said, "Okay."
He didn't hesitate, went straight back to the team, and set up camp not far from Chu Tianshu and the others.
Ren Changfeng wanted to ask Chu Tianshu what was going on, but he was afraid that the people not far away would hear his Chinese dialect, so he held it in very hard.
Chu Tianshu winked at Kang Yaru, walked a little further away, and said, "Did you hear what I just said?"
Kang Yaru nodded.
Chu Tianshu asked again: "Is this common?"
"Are you talking about the business group leading people?"
Kang Yaru said: "It's quite common. Because the cities are far apart and there are many wild animals outside the city, traveling alone is too risky, so most people choose to go with a business group."
Hearing what Kang Yaru said, Chu Tianshu's last concern was dispelled.
He returned to the campfire and briefly explained the situation to Ren Changfeng and others by writing on the snow.
Several people agreed to go with the business group.
After all, they all had doubts about Kang Yaru's ability to lead the way.
If Kang Yaru leads the wrong way, the fun will be great.
Chu Tianshu waved to Kang Yaru and asked: "How much does this kind of business group usually charge per person?"
Shang Yaru shook her head in embarrassment.
Chu Tianshu turned his back to the direction of the business group, took out a large handful of coins from his arms, and then said: "Are these coins all of the same value?"
