Chapter 87 Action
"Waterproof and sun-proof outer robes, as well as mosquito-proof bodysuits. Come and line up here to get them."

At one end of the street.

A leader of the Horned Serpent gang shouted loudly.

Beside him were a dozen large green bamboo baskets.

Each bamboo basket is filled with long coats and long clothes, and the whole set is stacked together.

In front of him, there were several rows of Horned Snake Gang personnel responsible for guarding the bodyguards.

Queue up to receive your coat and clothes, then take off your original clothes and put them on on the spot.

"Clap!"

After hanging the lock and fastening the long black coat, Du Bei stopped and turned around and walked into a courtyard behind him.

Under the mud wall of the courtyard, there were a large number of rough daggers scattered around.

Du Beiping looked inside, picked out a handful at random, and slung it around his waist.

The short knife is not used for self-defense, but for clearing weeds, poisonous insects and snakes on the escort route.

These are all things that the Horned Snake Gang needs to use when escorting escorts.

After use, they will be recycled and cleaned one by one.

Use again and again.

After finishing all this, Du Beiting followed the example of others and found a stone pier to sit down, waiting quietly for Zhu Fuchun, the deputy gang leader who was responsible for leading the escort team, and the two guardians.

Not long after, deputy gang leader Zhu Fuchun and two guardians appeared, ready to go.

The escort team began to drive horses and carry goods, and filed out from the four square courtyards, forming a long procession and walking towards the outside of the city.

The wooden wheels rolled on the bluestone, bumping from time to time and making a grunting sound.

Swim with the flow of people.

Soon, the round arch of the city gate slid over the escort team's head and slowly moved back.

As soon as you leave the city, you will see farmland with clear vertical and horizontal lines.

Like a chess set map, it is divided into large squares and arranged side by side to surround and close the official road that winds to no end.

There are farmers wearing straw hats, whipping cattle with ropes, and plowing in the fields.
On the outside, there is a large and dense wild forest.

As for the farther distance, there are endless hills and slopes as far as the eye can see.

Zhu Fuchun, who led the team, and the two guardians, rode at the front of the escort team on horses carrying goods.

Du Beiting, like the other hall leaders, walked in the middle of the team, walking alone.

Zheng Hui did not come for this escort trip.

He was afraid of venomous snakes, insects and other poisonous things since he was a child, and rarely left the city.

He can count the number of times he has been to places such as wild places and dense forests on one hand.

Therefore, he did not voluntarily participate in this escort.

The gang did not force him to be selected.

Walking to the left of Du Beiling was Wu Wutong, an acquaintance of Zheng Hui.

Like Zheng Hui, he is a hall leader of the Horned Snake Gang who has served for many years.

He was also one of the few people in the gang that Du Beidai knew.

The two of them got to know each other through Zheng Hui's introduction a few days ago.

Seeing Du Beiting looking around with a curious look on his face, he immediately smiled.

"Brother Du, is this your first time out of the city?" He glanced into the distance, "Did you hear people in the city say that there are dangers everywhere outside the city, so you have never been out of the city?"

"How did you know?"

Du Beiting glanced at him in surprise.

Indeed, just like what Wu Wutong said.

In Du Beiding's memory.

His impression of the city outside the city has always been about being "dangerous".

Therefore, before he learned martial arts, he never thought of leaving the city.

Until now, I have completed 29 blood accumulations and merged into Jinhou.

Only when you have a certain level of martial arts strength can you come up with new ideas.

"When I was young, like you, I was a gang member.

Growing up in the city, I often heard from neighbors and neighbors that it was very dangerous outside the city.

All kinds of ferocious beasts, poisonous insects, and poisonous snakes are everywhere.

Not to mention mountain bandits and horse bandits.Deaths outside the city are common.

So, as you think, I dare not leave the city. "

"But after I came out, I discovered that the danger outside the city is not what others said."

As he spoke, Wu Wutong took out a small piece of dried sweet potato from his left pocket, put it into his mouth and chewed it slowly.

"Whether it's dangerous or not depends on who's in the city."

"What do you mean?" Du Beiting rolled his eyes, not understanding what he meant.

"Just like us, the common people in Taiyuan City.

They are the most numerous people who always say it is dangerous outside the city.

Do you know why? It’s just that your own abilities are not good enough.

However, as long as the common people in the city leave the city and are a little further away from Taiyuan City, they will worry about encountering the vicious forces in various areas outside.

Especially bandits and horse bandits.

Losing money is a trivial matter, but you are afraid of not saving your life.

Besides.

During the journey, beware of wild beasts, poisonous insects, swamps, etc., and be prepared to take detours and U-turns at any time.

you could put it that way.

As long as they are ordinary civilians, once they leave the city, they must be prepared to tie their heads to their belts.

He could die at any time. "

Wu Wutong patted his chest and continued to smile: "But we are different. Our Horned Snake Gang is one of the three major gangs in the outer city of Taiyuan City.

A long time ago, I had greeted and dined with various forces and people in the surrounding areas outside the city.

It's a bit of a fight and we have some intersection.

Anyone who passes by will be given some face.

So, along the way.

We just need to be prepared for wild beasts, poisonous insects and the like, plan the itinerary during the period, and don't go astray or stray into dangerous areas.

It was very relaxing on the road. "

"According to your statement.

If a person is strong enough, wouldn't he be able to walk sideways outside the city? "Du Bei stopped and asked.

Wu Wutong seemed to be asked by Du Beiting.

He pondered for a long time before replying: "That's more or less the truth. It's rough words but not rough words."

“But one person’s force cannot prove everything.

As long as you leave the city, you still have to be on guard.

Everything must be done carefully and cautiously.

Just like.

A person is bitten by an unknown poison. There happens to be no corresponding antidote, and he can't go back to the city in time to see a doctor. If the poison cannot be detoxified, he will die.

Or, he strayed into a wilderness where there was nothing.

After not eating or drinking for a long time, his body functions collapsed and he was on the verge of death.

He couldn't even do the basic movements of raising his hands or standing up, and could only maintain the most basic breathing.

At this moment.

Even a violent and bloodthirsty beast can kill someone.

right? "

Du Beiting nodded thoughtfully, "That makes sense."

He had never been out of the city before, and he felt that with his current strength, as long as he didn't seek death, there shouldn't be any accidents.

But I never thought that there are so many different explanations for the "danger" here.

It seems that we need to be more careful this time.

Du Beiting continued to listen to Wu Wutong's speech, and from time to time he would add a sentence or two and ask his own questions.

While waiting for Wu Wutong's answer, he paid attention to the surrounding situation.

Looking at the long escort team, slowly walking along the official road into the distance under the scorching sun.

On the edge of the ridge, a long reflection stretched out.
