Lu Jiao picked up the two wild geese and turned away angrily.

He is the one who wants to eat, and he is also the one who complains and says he doesn't want to eat. He has so many troubles every day!

Seeing that Lu Jiao was angry, Kuilang stopped being pretentious and followed him with a playful smile.

"Since you've fought back and your neck is broken, why not pluck your hair and roast it? We can't waste anything, right?"

Lu Jiao glared back and threw the two wild geese at Kuilang: "If you want to eat them, go pluck their feathers yourself! And you still want me to serve you! You are so beautiful!"

As the sun set, the two men wrapped in blankets sat in front of the fire, one of them holding a roasted goose and eating it happily.

Kuilang couldn't stop eating: "This wild goose tastes okay, but not as good as in the capital."

"Why don't you go home now and eat your fill?"

Kuilang shook his head like a rattle: "No, no, if I go back like this, the prince will punish me and send me back to Huainan. I don't want to go back!"

This was the first time Lu Jiao heard about the Prince of Huainan from them, and she was a little curious: "Why don't you want to go back to Huainan?"

"Going back to Huainan is not as fun as being outside! In Huainan, I see that couple being so affectionate with each other every day. I'm afraid that I'll get angry and dump them all!

It is only because Cang Jiao has a good temper that he can endure it."

"You know you have a bad temper!"

"Hey, you!" Kuilang threw a clean bone towards Lu Jiao.

Of course, he didn't dare to really hit Lu Jiao.

If Lu Jiao gets angry, he won’t be able to beat her.

Lu Jiao glanced at Kuilang with a sidelong glance, and his mouth made a crunching sound while chewing.

That cold look suddenly reminded Kuilang of the two geese with broken necks, and he felt a chill on his back with fear.

"Why did it suddenly become cold?"

Kuilang muttered to himself and quietly moved to the side.

Ah--

Lu Jiao snorted coldly and continued to gnaw on the goose.

As Kuilang said, it is indeed not as delicious as the ones in Beijing, but the meat is fresh and tender, with very little fat, only a small lump in the belly, which is cut off when the skin is peeled.

The meat is smeared with oil and salt, and when it is almost done baking, it is sprinkled with cumin powder and chili powder, and then dipped in Chef Ding’s secret sauce.

Although it’s not as good as the roast duck in the South City Vegetable Market, it’s still delicious.

Lu Jiao couldn't help himself and ate four pancakes.

But we will be able to catch up with that tribe tomorrow, and then it shouldn't be a problem to exchange goods for some food.

The aroma of the roasted geese spread far away, and the predators on the grassland smelled it and became eager to eat it.

But because of the subtle mental intimidation from Lu Jiao, he did not dare to come and seek death, and he slept well all night.

The next day, Lu Jiao woke up in the tent. Kuilang wiped his face with the water in the water bag and went to sleep behind the cart.

Lu Jiao didn't care about him. It was really tiring to stand guard in this dark grassland, hearing the occasional wolf howl.

It was not yet noon, but a streak of black appeared on the distant horizon where blue and green met.

Lu Jiao used his mental power to look over there and saw a nomadic tribe in the distance.

Perhaps they haven't found a place with abundant water and grass yet, so they are still moving forward slowly.

There were only about a hundred people in this group, and they only had cattle and sheep with them, so it took Lu Jiao and his team less than four days to catch up with them.

If they had been one day later, they would have headed north, deep into the grassland.

It will be difficult to catch up with this tribe at that time.

After all, there are still many places on the map given by Yan Yuanhao that are completely blank.

Lu Jiao drove the car and fell far behind them. As long as she did not leave the range that her mental power could detect, she did not need to speed up.

She would go forward when they found a place to rest and graze.

And so she followed until mid-afternoon.

Kuilang woke up and ran away to satisfy his nature.

After coming back, he did not get on the carriage, but walked beside Lu Jiao.

"Why don't you hurry up? When can we catch up with that tribe's team?"

"We have caught up."

"Huh?" Kuilang didn't expect retribution to come so soon. "Then what are we waiting for? Let's go over there quickly!"

"Why go there? Alerted? Can't you use your brain a little bit?"

Lu Jiao really wanted to open Kuilang’s skull and see if it was filled with cerebrospinal fluid.

Kuilang said aggrievedly: "Speak properly and stop making personal attacks all the time, okay!"

Lu Jiao still patiently explained: "Now is not the best time. Let's wait until they find a place to graze and set up camp. It is impossible for them to leave immediately in a short time. We will move forward.

Otherwise, be careful that the tribesmen mistake you for a bandit and shoot you!"

Kuilang touched the back of his head and said, "I understand everything else, but what does Tutu mean?"

Lu Jiao didn't expect that he would say something to scare children in the apocalypse, and hurriedly tried to make up for it.

"It means to chop it off!"

"That can't be done!"

"Have you ever thought that if you show off your martial arts skills, they will be more afraid of you?"

When Kuilang heard this, his face fell again: "Okay, okay, I will listen to you from now on!"

Lu Jiao would not be fooled by his words. She raised the whip and lightly whipped the horse, and the speed of the car immediately increased.

"Wait for me!" Kuilang jogged for a while before catching up with the carriage.

This time Lu Jiao didn't keep the secret and said directly: "They started to nail the pillars!"

Kuilang understood this time: "They found the water source!"

"It should be." Lu Jiao said this, but in fact his spiritual power had already seen a crescent-shaped bay not far from the group of people.

The water quality inside is pretty good. From time to time, silver light flashes in the water. It seems there are fish!

However, he couldn't tell Kuilang this, otherwise he would have to explain to him why he could see things more than 20 miles away.

When they were still ten miles away from their destination, Lu Jiao slowed down again.

Sure enough, not long after, a man wearing a thin black jacket and his hair tied casually behind his head jumped out from the bushes nearby.

"Which tribe are you from? Why are there only two of you?"

Lu Jiao had already discovered this man, so he calmed the horse before he jumped out.

"My master came from Wangting to Zhenyuanguan to do business. We bought some goods and knew there was a water source ahead, so we wanted to try our luck.

See if we can meet one or two tribes and exchange our things with them."

As he spoke, he lifted a corner of the cart, revealing the linen cloth underneath.

The reason why they brought linen was simply because those precious silks could only be bought in royal courts like Ulaanbaatar.

For a tribe of more than a hundred people like this, durable linen is still the main material.

When the man saw the things in the car, his eyes lit up and his previous vigilance and hostility disappeared.

"Come, come, I'll take you to find the clan leader!"

Lu Jiao and Kui Lang quickly exchanged glances and got into their roles.

Lu Jiao is the leader, while Kuilang is the brother who is not good at speaking.
