Xianyu asked

Chapter 3
Among them, under the eaves of the corridor in the distance, a tall middle-aged man sat on a grand master's chair, looked at the newcomers, and turned his head to explain a few words to the people around him.

The person beside him bent down and listened, then turned around and trotted towards Huaying.

"Deacon Han!" The three blue-clothed disciples looked at the man who came forward and raised their hands to compose, their faces full of respect.

Deacon Han nodded without raising his eyelids, and ordered: "Distribute dry food to these newcomers, and set off immediately."

"Yes!"

Senior Brother Sun immediately called a servant and brought a rice bucket over.

"Bring some dry food each of you, and you can go on the road when you are full."

The children hadn't touched food for a long time, and they were already very hungry. Seeing the food, they rushed forward to grab it, for fear that they would not be full if it was too late.

Huaying was also very hungry, so she squeezed her body and stretched out her hands to fish in the bucket. In the end, she only got two Zamian steamed buns that were about to be dried.She gnawed half of it first, it was as hard as a rock, and it was difficult to swallow without water, but in the end she only ate half of it, and put the rest in her arms to keep.

Huaying was very smart, she didn't eat too fast, she secretly found out a little information from the conversation between Deacon Han and Senior Brother Sun.

Next, these children seem to have to hurry.

This discovery made Huaying watch carefully, in case she really had to go to a farther place in the future, it was necessary to save some dry food for backup.

God knows if these martial masters will distribute food to them on the way.

With a half steamed bun in her pocket, Huaying felt a little more at ease.

midnight.

More than a dozen carriages lined up on the path under the moonlit night. Apart from the sound of rolling wheels and horseshoes trampling on the ground, there were occasionally the neighing of wild animals from the depths of the mountains and jungles.

At this time, in a certain carriage in the middle of the convoy, Hua Ying leaned against the wooden board next to the door of the carriage, her immature body hidden in the darkness was shivering from the biting cold outside the carriage.Although it was already night, she was not sleepy at all, and she was always observing the movement outside.

The other children in the carriage hugged each other to keep warm, snoring bursts, and whispers came from time to time.

The carriage continued to move forward, as if it was heading into the mountains, Huaying heard more and more animal cries.

This made her quite curious, it was enough for Huadaomen to rush on the road late at night, but why not take the main road and the small road, but why did they go to the mountains?
At this time, Huaying suddenly heard two young men discussing softly through the carriage door.

"It's been a long night, Wang Hu. After driving for several hours, there was no movement at all. I think the rumors are probably false."

"Who says it's not? Although our Huadao Sect is not a first-class sect here in Huaiguo, no one dares to provoke it easily in this Dongqing County. I heard that the elders in the sect spent a lot of money on this matter. Zhoucheng invited a high-level person to sit in town, it is really a big deal."

Those in charge of guarding the carriage were still the two blue-clothed youths from before, one surnamed Liu and the other surnamed Wang, and they were all riding on horseback at the moment.

Although the conversation between the two had been kept down as much as possible, it was hard to escape the deliberate eavesdropping.

Huaying in the carriage quietly sat up, pulled a corner of the curtain of the carriage door, and peeped out under the faint moonlight.

"Don't tell me, I saw that expert when I went outside for convenience before departure, and he was sitting in the front car. Hey, I thought I invited a guest from some sect, and his hair was gray What a bad old man, he only looks decent in his clothes, so you might as well invite me, Liu Si, if you invite him!"

"Hehe, Liu Si, you are exaggerating what you said! If I, Wang Hu, don't act, will it be up to you?"

"Ah, yes, yes, you and I are enough, why do you need someone else to do it?! If you have that spare money, why don't you give it to us brothers to have fun in the city, tsk tsk, it's really cheap for outsiders."

"Hahaha, it's true!"

The two seemed to be talking nonsense, and the information revealed in the conversation made Hua Ying, who was eavesdropping in the carriage, puzzled.

She muttered a few words to herself, feeling a little more uneasy in her heart.

At this moment, a surprised look suddenly came from outside the curtain, causing Huaying to let go of her little hands in fright, and hastily pretended to fall asleep.

"Wang Hu, what's the matter, is there any movement?" Liu Si, who was riding on the horse, turned around and looked at his companion who suddenly turned around with a surprised expression, and asked.

Wang Hu paused for a while on the curtain of the carriage door, and replied: "It's nothing, it feels like someone is watching us."

"Haha, don't be suspicious, those kids in the car in the middle of the night have already fallen asleep, so no one is staring at us. Come, drink some wine to refresh yourself."

As he spoke, a wine jug fell into the opponent's arms.

After Wang Hu raised his head and sighed, he didn't care about it anymore.

"Hey, this period of time is really not peaceful. It will be difficult to imagine living in the door like before."

"Who says it's not? In the past, this kind of hard work won't get us two brothers. In such poor and remote places, we have to send people from village to house to recruit disciples. The hall masters in the sect have dispatched six. I'm afraid Dongqing County will Searched all over."

"Liu Si, I remember that your cousin is on duty at the outer sect. It is said that those disciples who went on missions at the outer sect at the beginning of the month suffered heavy casualties. Is this true?"

"This..." Liu Si hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "This is true."

"What is the specific situation?"

"Ten does not save one." Liu Si made a gesture.

Hearing this, Wang Hu was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse and threw away the flagon in his hand.

"Hey, hey, don't throw it away if you don't drink it, it cost me two coins."

"No wonder, no wonder, I said why the sect suddenly sent brothers from our inner sect to recruit people, and the selection criteria were much looser than in previous years. In the end, this is the reason." Wang Hu said with lingering fear.

Liu Si glanced at him, raised his sword and hooked up the jug on the ground, and said with relief: "Brother Wang Hu, don't panic. Although the disciples sent out by our outer sect suffered a lot and were almost destroyed, the other party is not much better. It’s just a loss for both sides. Besides, the elders inside the door will support the sky falling, so why are you afraid of it.”

"What you said is easy, the outer sect is dead, so it's our turn for the inner sect disciples!"

"What are you panicking about? Today, the sect has recruited more than [-] people in this Qingyang town. I guess there are more than [-] people in the other five towns. If you send them to the sect for a little training for two or three years, they will be replaced soon. Up? When the time comes, they will naturally go out and work hard, don't we two still lie comfortably in the inner door and go about our days?"

"Damn, look at the crooked melons and dates collected today, they have the qualifications to fart! If Deacon Zhang hadn't told the two of us to release the water, none of them would have passed before!" Wang Hu pointed angrily. Cursed while looking at the carriage.

"Hush, keep your voice down, lest other people hear you!"

Liu Si looked back and forth. Fortunately, the distance between the carriages was not small, and the sound would not reach the ears of other brothers.

Afterwards, he looked at Wang Hu, who was blushing and had a thick neck, and said angrily, "Hey, don't care about his qualifications, at least they are still human!"

"."

Wang Hu must have been choked by the other party's words. He thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.

"Don't mention this, the task of us people is to send them back to the sect safely, and the elders naturally have their arrangements for the rest."

Liu Si raised his head and took a sip of wine, glanced sideways at his absent-minded companion, and suddenly laughed again.

"Wang Hu, do you still remember the little girl in the carriage?"
