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 bandit forces were there five years ago.
The same was true when shuffling the cards. At that time, the result that the boss knew was that in order to show off their power, the newly emerged bandits, that is, the bandits who might be in trouble this time, chose to eat both humans 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
There is absolutely no need for the guard leader to do this anymore.
But if you continue to move forward, your life may be in danger. Money is more important than life. So I thought of a compromise, which was to rest in advance, extend the day's schedule, and then send a few people to spy on it the next day.
I groped forward, and then turned back when I was almost to the second level. In this way, I would have something to say to my boss after I went back. It was not that I was greedy for life, but that I realized something was wrong after walking halfway through.
Returned. 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 did not think about publicizing it. He also agreed with the reaction of the leader of the convoy. If he knew that there might be danger ahead and still rushed forward, it is impossible for Zhang Yan to take action to stir up trouble. Now
Well, just follow the idea of leading the team. When it gets bright tomorrow, we can go forward a little to show off, and then we can turn back when we have an excuse.
When the time comes, Zhang Yan will think of another way. He is not in a hurry anyway. Whether he follows back and takes a detour or steals there by himself is a choice.
The convoy chose a relatively open place to set up camp. The horses were unhooked from the vehicle, and then taken to the side to feed and rest. The vehicles would be surrounded by a circle on two levels, and the people would gather in the circle to rest. The weather was good.
I would just make a fire and sleep on the ground. If the weather was bad, I would put up a tarpaulin tent.
The weather has been pretty good during the last few days out of the city. Except for the strong wind one night, it has been smooth sailing. The night was not 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 even think about how delicious it was, it was enough to fill you up.
Zhang Yan sat next to the fire, watching the leader and the guard leader come back after the discussion. Both of them had a calm expression on their faces and did not show any timidity. They called on their men to set up a night defense or organize the convoy's goods. After a while of busy work, the sky turned dark.
When it got dark, everyone sat together and started eating around the nearby fire.
Zhang Yan put the dry pancakes next to the fire to bake until soft, so they would be easier to bite.
"Little 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.
The car, Zhang Yan was eloquent, and the driver was talkative, so the two of them got along pretty well. From the first day, I saw Zhang Yan holding a dozen dried beans in his hand and dishing them out without any problem, but I didn’t know them well at first so I didn’t ask too many questions.
, now that I’m familiar with it, I can’t help but ask what’s going on.
Zhang Yan did not stop the movement of his hands. 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 repeated these actions over and over again. Others would indeed find it strange to see them.
.
"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. And the place where we rest today is not right. I always feel that something is wrong. You should be careful."
The coachman surnamed Xiong has a look of worry on his face. He has been driving coaches for more than three years. He used to drive coaches in other carriage houses and has seen a lot of things. Today's events seem very abnormal to him.
Inexplicably, I always feel a little panicked. By reminding Zhang Yan, I can vent my 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 must have had some premonitions.
So Zhang Yan looked at the other person's face intently and tried to calculate using facial features. The result was shocking.
The appearance of this coachman named Xiong is actually a sign of great evil, and he is bleeding!
Generally speaking, you cannot use the fortune-telling technique 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 great omen of disaster and bloodshed is coming", 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 have a bloody disaster so close to his eyes? Zhang Yan might not have been able to guess this at another time. But now there is no need for him to guess, because the only reason that will bring about the bloody disaster is here.
There will be one.
Bandits are coming!
This had to be taken seriously by Zhang Yan. He calmly made calculations on the faces of the other cart drivers beside the fire. Based on his current level of cultivation at the Mysterious Vein Realm, the short-term fortunes of these ordinary people were not very good.
No matter how much effort it takes, you can calculate it all in a cup of tea. The results are without exception, they are all the same as that of the coachman named Xiong, a sign of great evil and bloodshed!
The word "current" 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 was not a big problem for him to escape on his own, but what to do with the dozens of people in the convoy? Watch them die?
But when it comes to rescuing people, I don't have a clue. It's not just one or two bandits, but a large group of hundreds or thousands of people. Even if there are only 20% warriors among them, it is not a huge force that Zhang Yan can 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.
