Volume 2 Demon Ridge Jingyanggang Chapter 9 Getting Started
Wang Liang was the kind of person who listened to advice. Looking at the waiter's confident look, Wang Liang knew that it was common for people to pass out after drinking four bowls of wine. He didn't want to sleep here for several days and nights, so he put down the wine bowl in his hand and asked.
"Waiter, what's on the other side of the mountain?"
"Yanggu County."
Wang Liang nodded when he heard it. It seemed that they had not left the scope of Henan Road. He seemed to have been there in his dream, but there didn't seem to be any famous place, so he asked again.
"Is there anything famous in Yanggu County?"
The waiter couldn't help but shook his head when he heard this. There really wasn't anything famous in Yanggu County. After all, it was located inland and the nearby mountains and forests weren't any famous mountains or rivers. Even the beauties weren't famous.
With the waiter like this, Wang Liang could only change the subject: "Is there anything I should be careful of nearby?"
"Yes, there are tigers in the mountains nearby. We only set out at noon when we have gathered a team of more than 30 people. But we are all old guests and we all know that as long as we walk on the right path and don't offend the tigers, we will be fine. What we are afraid of is those who set out in the afternoon and still hang around in the mountains at night."
"There's a tiger? Is it big?"
When Wang Liang heard about the tiger, he became somewhat interested.
The waiter pointed mysteriously at the guests at another table and said, "See that old man and young boy? They are here to prepare to kill the tiger. They have been preparing here for three days, but they are still not ready."
Wang Liang looked in the direction the waiter pointed and found an old man and a young man sitting there. The old man looked to be about seventy years old, and the young one looked only about fifteen years old.
If ordinary people saw this, they might laugh at the waiter, but Wang Liang saw something different.
The old man's right hand had been placed quietly on the table, motionless as if it were a fake hand, and he ate, drank, and did everything with his left hand, as if he was protecting his right hand.
From this point, it can be seen that his right hand must have some different function. Perhaps this is the other party's greatest reliance in killing the tiger.
The younger one was more jumpy, with his eyes looking around, but from his movements we could tell that he was a flexible person. He might not have the strength to fight a tiger, but he should be able to escape.
At this time, the waiter said again: "The man you just shot was a hunter in the mountains. They are different from those two. They want to go into the mountains to hunt."
The waiter raised his eyelids and Wang Liang understood immediately, "Going into the mountains to hunt when there are tigers, aren't they afraid of encountering tigers?"
"There's no point in being afraid. If they want to eat, they have to go into the mountains. And as long as they don't go into the mountains at night, they can escape even if they encounter a tiger . And those few are from the guard team. They have been staying here since the tiger appeared. They will join the caravans that want to cross the mountain but can't get enough people.
You know what, they are all quite strong, one can do the work of three, the three of them can ensure the safety of a carriage through Jingyanggang."
The waiter was talking while Wang Liang was eating, and soon he had finished the whole plate of meat.
Just then, bursts of gong sounds were heard outside the hotel.
"It's time to get going. It's time to get going. It's time to get going."
Wang Liang was speechless after hearing this. How could he feel safe traveling on the road like this?
Seeing Wang Liang's speechless expression, the waiter whispered, "Sir, this is already a good thing. At least there won't be any big problems. If you want to go to Yanggu County, this is the best opportunity. If you delay any further, you will have to wait until tomorrow."
Wang Liang was just about to stand up when an old man and a young boy also stood up.
The old man carefully put his right hand into his sleeve, and then said to the young man: "Let's go, it's almost time, let's go kill the tiger, and we can take the tiger skin back help you find a wife."
The young man nodded happily and followed the old man with a very proud look on his face.
For some reason, Wang Liang felt . He took out three copper coins and threw them on the table.
Before Wang Liang could see the hexagram on the coins clearly, the waiter waved his hand and the three coins disappeared into his sleeves.
The waiter said politely, "Thank you for your reward, sir. You can just follow the carriage of the team. It is safest to stay next to the carriage."
Wang Liang was sweating profusely. He hesitated for a moment, but finally decided not to take out three more copper coins to tell fortunes. His copper coins were not specifically used for divination, so it didn't matter if he had less. He was also confident that he could keep himself safe. Although he felt a little uneasy, he still believed in his own strength.
So Wang Liang finally nodded to the waiter as a way of expressing his gratitude, and then walked out of the hotel.
The moment he walked out of the hotel, Wang Liang was blown by the wind and he felt as if his mind became clearer. At the same time, his eyes lit up, and it seemed that the whole world became a little brighter.
He checked his data and found a small buff added to his attributes.
[Three bowls is just right: You will maintain a clear mind and bright eyesight for 24 hours, making it easier to spot hidden dangers. In addition, you cannot drink alcohol for 24 hours, otherwise the drunkenness effect will be activated and you will fall into a drunken state.]
This state seems to be pretty good. Although I don't know what benefits a clear mind and bright eyes have, it seems to be a good thing right now.
At this time, Wang Liang felt a little regretful that the wine was not sold outside. Otherwise, he would have taken one or two gourds of wine with him and drank three bowls before the battle. It would have been beneficial no matter how you looked at it.
While thinking, Wang Liang came to the convoy.
At this time, there were two guys standing outside the caravan, one of whom was holding a gong and beating it.
"Let's get going. We'll be on the road soon. It's noon, so we'll be on the road."
The other was there, questioning everyone who wanted to join the team.
"What can you do, take a car or walk."
When Wang Liang was asked, he couldn't help but ask, "Is there any difference between taking a car and walking?"
"Of course." The guy was used to such questions, and he answered as soon as Wang Liang asked.
"Our car is used to transport goods. If you sit on the car, you have to pay. If you walk, you don't have to do that. As long as you don't run around, we can protect your safety. Of course, do you see those sticks? If you are willing to hold the sticks to help us show our strength, we will provide some food on the way."
As he spoke, the guy pointed at the sticks on a cart. Those were all short sticks as long as the eyebrows. Judging from the thickness and the patina on them, they had been preparing these sticks for a long time.
This made Wang Liang a little curious, and he couldn't help but ask another question.
"How long have the tigers been around here?"
