Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 284 Mountain God's Protection

With the help of the wolf team led by the lackeys to guard the place, everyone slept soundly for several hours.

Qin Bingrui got up very early as the sky was just getting light.

Although she took out the roast chicken to share with Luo Yu, she whispered to her privately: "Sister, I dreamed of an ambush. It must be the people of that Miao leader Ah Du."

"Do you know exactly where it is?"

"It's not this mountain, it should be the last mountain. I won't know until I get there."

"Have you ever dreamt about a computer case?"

Qin Bingrui shook his head: "I can only dream about people and things related to the three of us, which proves that we haven't found the chassis in the past few days."

"It seems your ability isn't very good."

"I've discovered that it doesn't really work unless it's a critical moment. Maybe the longer we're here, the weaker this ability becomes."

"maybe."

In this case, I really can't just ask for death at every turn. What if my superpowers disappear?

After the two men finished their grumbling, Yan Xuan gnawed on his dry steamed bun and asked Qin Bingrui, "Brother Qin, can you give me a chicken leg?"

"How can you get two chicken legs when there are so many people?"

"It doesn't matter to me whether I eat it or not, but my Miss Xia wants to eat it."

At this moment, Xia Liang had already returned from hunting some big rabbits with her lackeys. She asked Ran: "Sister Ran, can we make a fire during the day? I really can't walk a few steps without eating some meat."

Yan Xuan went over and took the big rabbit from her hand, and asked in surprise: "My baby, when did you go out hunting?"

Xia Liang grinned: "I was too hungry to sleep in the middle of the night, so I took my lackeys out hunting while everyone was still asleep. See how much I got."

My goodness, not only did she hold two big gray rabbits in her hands, but the lackeys and the wolves also held one in their mouths.

Qin Bingrui couldn't help but complain: "Xia Cao, you've emptied out the rabbit's nest!"

Only Ran nodded without saying anything. She was now even more convinced that this group of people were unusual.

Song Si, who was on the other side, whispered in Zhu Jinyou's ear, "Master, I've noticed that Miss Xia has an easier time hunting than ordinary people. It's like the animals are walking into a trap. Every time she goes out for a while, she brings back a bunch of prey."

"Have Feiying and the others tracked down any important information?"

"No, the lackeys are very alert and can sense someone following them almost anywhere and at any time. When Miss Xia heard their warning, she pretended to go for a walk as if nothing had happened."

"..."

Everyone roasted the rabbit meat and ate until their mouths were full of oil before continuing on their way.

Less than half a minute after they left, the lackey started barking again.

Everyone turned around and saw that behind the twenty or so big wolves that had followed the lackeys, there were now more than a dozen big wolves joining them. They had not been chased away last night and they dared to come to their door.

Xia Liang asked everyone not to make a fuss, saying that these dozen wild wolves joined them with the permission of the lackey.

Luo Yu warned her: "Don't let too many wild wolves follow the lackeys, otherwise it will arouse others' suspicion and they will treat us as monsters."

Zhu Jinyou said sarcastically: "Aren't you guys the same?"

Yan Xuan hurriedly explained: "Uncle, I don't think Xia Cao is a monster. She is just a little more special than ordinary girls!"

Xia Liang was too lazy to pay attention and said with a smile: "The universe is so vast, there are all kinds of strange things in the world, people should not be frogs in the well."

Song Si almost drew his sword.

"How dare you, a country girl, speak to me like this?"

Xia Liang would not indulge them.

"In the mountains, I already know more than you. It's not surprising. Besides, everyone has their own strengths in different fields. I just have a few special skills compared to normal people, but I'm treated like a freak. It seems that there are too few people in this world who are tolerant of others. It really is because civilization is not developed enough."

After hearing this, Zhu Jinyou was willing to listen to the advice with an open mind.

"Then Miss Xia, please tell me, what level does a country need to reach to be considered civilized?"

"Tolerance is like tolerating different cultures and nationalities, as well as different personalities and special skills. Everyone should have a fair chance to compete. This is the starting point of civilization."

"..."

Although Ran didn't understand, she knew that there was an internal conflict between them.

She asked Qin Bingrui: "Miss Qin, is your Miss Xia protected by the mountain god?"

Qin Bingrui was stunned. It turned out that everyone thought they were either gods or monsters.

"Of course not. It's just the ability to communicate with animals in animal language. It's nothing special."

Ran and several guards were filled with awe and made some special gestures of worship in the direction of the mountain.

Xia Liang raised his eyebrows and challenged Zhu Jinyou: "Look, people just accept my abilities naturally and don't think I'm a monster."

Yan Xuan held her hand and said seriously, "Xia Cao, I never thought you were a monster. In my eyes, you are the cutest girl."

"Hehe, my Xuanxuan is still the cutest!"

Qin Bingrui and Luo Yu rolled their eyes and tried to stay away from these two guys.

Zhu Jinyou didn't believe in any demons or ghosts, but this Miss Xia made him more and more confused. Are there really things in this world that cannot be explained by common sense?

Miss Luo Yu has special talents, which can be understood as her own reasons. Qin Bingrui is hardworking and capable. Besides, they have a legendary master. Only Xia Cao has many very strange behaviors.

If Baihu's death was related to her, or if she knew Baihu, Zhu Jinyou could understand it, but he just couldn't understand how an animal's soul could possess a human body.

I guess Yan Xuan believed it. How could he accept an animal turning into a human and then falling in love with a creature that has the appearance of a human and the soul of an animal?

It’s quite explosive just thinking about it.

Perhaps there is a possibility that the white tiger at that time was not a real white tiger, but possessed a human soul?

When Zhu Jinyou thought of this, his heartbeat suddenly accelerated. He must have read too many science fiction picture books drawn by Luo Yu.

Luo Yu followed closely behind him, knowing that his mind must be racing again. When this man was thinking, his eyes were particularly deep and his expression was extremely cold, as if he was icy and kept away from strangers.

Luo Yu slowed down his pace, he had to stay away from this thing.

Zhu Jinyou then stretched out a hand, turned his head and said to her very gently: "The road ahead is narrow and steep, I will hold your hand and walk with you."

Song Si's pupils widened. "Is my master so proactive? Is he deeply influenced by Yan Xuan and Miss Xia?"

Qin Bingrui was extremely calm. What conspiracy did this gentleman have?

Luo Yu hesitated for a moment and did not extend his hand.

Turned around and held Qin Bingrui's hand.

"Thank you for your kindness, Master Zhu. However, since it's not appropriate for men and women to touch each other, I won't bother you."

Zhu Jinyou was not moved at all. Several people walked in front and behind, and the atmosphere was quiet and a little weird.

After passing this hill, the mountains ahead are even higher.

Ran looked ahead and explained to Qin Bingrui, "Once we cross the hill ahead, we'll reach the Miao village base of Gelai Adu. I won't go up yet. When you get there, just find a way to bring my string down the mountain. I'll have people waiting for you here, and if a conflict does come up, I'll send people to help you."

Qin Bingrui's head was buzzing. Good guy, you even avoided the ambush directly.

How could she tell the lady that there was an ambush halfway up the mountain without making her suspect that she was not a normal person?

When Qin Bingrui saw the most cheerful lackeys dancing in front, he suddenly had an idea and called them lackeys.

"Leg-legged bastard, how about you take some clever wolf cubs to explore the hill ahead? You guys have a lot to eat anyway, so running back and forth will give you some exercise."

After hearing the order, the lackey looked at Xia Liang and waited for the final order to be given.

Xia Liang smiled and squatted down to stroke its head: "Go ahead. If anything happens, come back and let us know immediately. We will reward your team with a large chicken drumstick for each wolf."

The lackey barked and howled at the wolf pack. The wolves, obeying his command, howled together...

Ran and several of his men almost knelt down when they saw this scene. This Miss Xia was definitely the reincarnation of the Mountain God. Only the Mountain God could control all the birds and beasts in the mountains.

As he was thinking of this, an eagle's cry was heard overhead. A large eagle that had been circling for a long time saw Xia Liang and the others, and it was so happy that it cried.

Xia Liang waved to Daying.

"Iron-Blooded Eagle King, we are here. Why did you come so late? I didn't leave any delicious food for you."
