Peerless Young Master
Chapter 44 Walking on the Mountain Again
"Why did you agree to him just now? Do you know how troublesome and dangerous it would be?
Gao Quan is a greedy man. Today he asked us to smuggle some goods, but tomorrow he might ask us to reveal the route down the mountain."
On the way back to Baiyun Village, Xiao Xuan's face was extremely gloomy. The more he thought about it, the angrier he became. Why should he be bullied like this?
"What can we do if you don't agree? Are we going to abandon Brother Damo?" Li Xuan fought back. Now that things have come to this, either agree or sell out Damo.
There is no other way.
"You also heard Gao Quan say that more than a dozen villages nearby need food. There are only two of us. How can we get so much food?" Xiao Xuan said angrily.
"Brother Xuan, don't blame Li Xuan, it's all my fault. If I hadn't been caught by them, you wouldn't have to worry about it." Da Mo felt a little guilty.
"Brother Damo, this is none of your business. Who would have thought that Gao Quan would do this?" Li Xuan comforted Damo.
"I know it's difficult, but you've seen Gao Quan's attitude. There's no other way to go. What's the point of you shouting at me? If you have the ability, go and kill him and destroy Hanlan Village," Li Xuan retorted.
"Just go, do you really think I'm afraid of him?"
Xiao Xuan also got angry. She was a mid-level human being and could fight against anyone at the peak of the human realm, yet she was afraid of a small Gao Quan.
If a tiger doesn't show its power, people will think it's a sick cat.
"Oh, you really are going."
Seeing Xiao Xuan turn around and leave, Li Xuan immediately chased after her and stopped her. What a tiger woman.
"Why are you stopping me?" Xiao Xuan looked at the other person angrily.
Li Xuan rubbed his forehead. This crazy woman really has strong limbs but a simple mind: "Do you know what our biggest danger is?"
"Gao Quan!"
"Not him"
“On the way here, we also saw the fighting between the villages. If Gao Quan really closed the village gate and hid,
"After that, when we go through the mountains and pass through the territory of Hanlan Village, we are likely to face bandits who are eager to rob food and kill people. This is the most fatal thing for us."
Is Gaoquan too much?
It was indeed excessive. They captured Damo, stole half of his food and bedding, and threatened two people.
But the real danger lies in those villages without food. When facing life and death, they are extremely crazy and cruel.
If there is a real chaos, it goes without saying that taking the mountain route would definitely be unsafe.
Even though Xiao Xuan is a good fighter, there are only two people from Baiyun Village who go into the mountains. How can they guarantee that they can return safely every time?
Xiao Xuan narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "You are afraid that those people will appear on the downhill route and affect our climbing."
"Yes, that's why I agreed to Gao Quan's plan. As long as we can keep him stable, the mountain route will be safe. We need food and daily necessities."
Li Xuan sighed. These were not the most important things. The most important thing was that Baiyun Village also needed food, cotton clothes, and bedding.
If you want to get these, you have to go down the mountain.
Now that your weakness has been discovered, there's nothing you can do but cooperate.
"Is there really no way? Why should we be controlled by others?" Xiao Xuan was angry and puzzled.
"Let's go back first. It would be bad if we meet bandits again on the road."
Soon, the three of them returned the same way.
…………
After returning from Hanlan Village, Li Xuan told Xiao Yidao about his cooperation with Gao Quan. The latter didn't say anything, as if he had expected it.
Xiao Xuan was very angry, as if she had been stimulated by something. She practiced swordsmanship at home every day. She was agile and her swordsmanship was sharp and decisive.
Li Xuan got a set of fists from Damai, which can strengthen the body and drive away the cold.
He would train for half an hour every day, then do 100 push-ups and 200 sit-ups. He needed to improve his physical fitness during this time.
After seeing the steepest mountain road, he realized that it was simply impossible for him to leave Black Dragon Mountain safely with his current physical condition.
Exercise is urgent.
The others were the same as before, without changing anything, and the village gradually became quiet.
The snow on Heilong Mountain began to fall again, like a white curtain slowly opening between heaven and earth, covering Heilong Mountain in a blanket of silver.
The snow fell heavier and heavier, and gradually the whole world became blurred and distant, with only a vast expanse of white.
The branches were bent by the accumulated snow. Occasionally, a piece of snow that could not bear the gravity would slide down, making a "puffing" sound, and then everything would return to calm.
The snow on this mountain doesn't fall unless it continues for several days and nights.
After more than ten days, it finally stopped snowing and the snow on the road was slowly melting.
These two days are the time to go hiking.
There was no other way. The village needed supplies for the winter, and Gao Quan also needed an explanation.
Inside the bungalow, Xiao Yidao warned, "This time when you go down the mountain, you'll need to bring a lot of stuff. Remember, it's better to make more trips than rush, and don't expose your identity.
If something really happens, saving your life is the most important thing, and everything else can be thrown away."
"Dad, I know that my daughter will definitely bring back food." Xiao Xuan's eyes flashed with brilliance. She failed in her last attempt to climb the mountain, and this time she must succeed.
"That's good to know. Chat with Li Xuan more when you have nothing to do. You are all young people, so you should be able to get along well."
Xiao Xuan blinked and said with some dissatisfaction: "Anyone who can chat with him can only talk nonsense and has no real skills at all."
Xiao Yidao smiled and shook his head: "If you could be half as capable as him, Dad would be relieved."
On the other side, Li Xuan also found the desert. This time hiking was different from the previous times. There were many more unstable factors at the foot of the mountain, and there were few people hiking, so it was really hard to feel at ease.
"Brother Damo, the mountains are blocked by heavy snow, so it's inevitable that we'll encounter difficult roads. Don't rush, it's okay to go slowly.
If you are surrounded by other villages and are not sure of victory, give them food. Staying alive is the most important thing.
The conditions on this mountain are harsh, and if you get hurt, there's no way to heal it."
Li Xuan understood Damo and Xiao Xuan. They were the kind of people who could be without people but had to have food. If they encountered danger, they would easily clash, and then it would be a life-and-death battle.
This kind of thinking is very dangerous, no one can guarantee that it will always be safe.
No matter how powerful a master is, there will be times when he is ambushed.
What's more, there are only two of them.
As long as everyone is safe, if food is lost, we can go down the mountain to buy more.
Da Mo grinned and said, "You want me to persuade Brother Xuan more."
Li Xuan did not deny: "Brother Xuan has an impatient temper and gets easily irritated when encountering something. Brother Damo should persuade him more."
"Don't worry, I will." Da Mo gave an affirmative look.
…………
The next day, several people got up early in the morning.
"Be careful on the road," Xiao Yidao reminded the two.
"Don't worry, Boss Xiao, it's not the first time, it's nothing," Damo said confidently.
"If you really encounter any problems, listen to your uncle Da Mo."
Xiao Yidao instructed Xiao Xuan, who nodded.
Soon, the two set off.
"Be careful on the road and remember what I said," Li Xuan waved his hand and said loudly.
After a while, the two figures could no longer be seen, leaving only two long footprints on the ground leading into the distance.
