messenger from the wasteland

Chapter 127 Another World

The air is mixed with the smell of morning dew, moist, with a little bit of coolness, dispelling people's sleepiness in the morning.

On the carriage, Mann rubbed his eyes and stretched himself.To be honest, he didn't like to sleep in the carriage, the boards were so cold and hard that he would have a backache every morning when he got up.

At the same time that Mann woke up, Chu opened his eyes, scanned the surroundings with those dim eyes, and then lowered his head again.

Last night was not a peaceful one. A few people seemed to want to steal their goods, but they were all scared away by Chu.

Of course, Chu Chu didn't show up, she just used her breath to drive those people away.

She is an envoy created by evil, and her aura has a great deterrent effect on all life except the summoner.

At the beginning of perceiving the surrounding things, she could feel that as they walked westward, the evil attached to the things became stronger.

Although she is a villain in theory, she doesn't like this feeling, which makes the evil in her a little restless.

"Chu, let's go when you're ready." Mann patted his cheek to wake himself up a bit, and said to Chu while taking out another piece of dry food and chewing it in his mouth.

"We have to get to the front line as soon as possible, and try to deliver another cargo before the end of autumn."

"En." Chu Ping calmed himself down, got out of the carriage and untied the horse's reins.

Just as Chu and Mann were about to leave the village, a familiar figure walked over again.

Mann recognized the person who came, she was the girl who made him lose money yesterday.

You must know that for a businessman, every loss-making business is a shame, and he will not make the same mistake again in the same place.

"Hello." Mann sat cross-legged in the carriage and called to the girl not far away.

"I don't sell you a copper coin of potatoes today."

"I, I know." The girl still looked timid, but at least she didn't look as weak as yesterday.

She put her hands behind her, hesitated for a moment, walked to the front of the carriage, stretched out her hand and handed something to Mann.

"I came here to give you this."

"Huh?" Mann lowered his eyes and looked at the thing the girl handed over. In her hand was a bracelet, a very ordinary bracelet strung together with stones with a little color. The rough polishing may be good for wearing. It's a little tricky.

Mann was stunned for a while before bending down and taking the bracelet.

"Yesterday, thank you very much." The girl said with a blushing face.

Then, she stood on tiptoe, and before Mann could react, she held his cheek and kissed his side cheek.

After the kiss, the girl ran away in a hurry, leaving only Mann sitting there with his face covered in a daze.

Holding the reins of the carriage, Chu slightly raised the corners of his mouth and shrugged his shoulders.

How should I put it, being young is really enviable.

Mann didn't come back to his senses until he was on the road.It was not until a long time later that he took out the bracelet that the girl gave him on the bumpy carriage and held it in front of him.

"At the beginning, do you think it's worth three copper coins?" the boy asked. Originally, in his eyes, everything in this world could be measured by gold coins.

But at this moment, the thing in front of him made him a little confused about how to estimate the price.

"What do you think?" She glanced at him for the first time and asked back.

"Probably." Mann looked at the bracelet facing the sun and said, "It's worth it."

At least, he did receive the girl's thanks, and it was the first time he understood what it was like to be thanked.

"Hmph." Thinking of this, Mann suddenly chuckled, threw the unfinished small piece of dry food into his mouth, and carefully put the bracelet on his hand.

Sure enough, it was a little tricky and a little heavy.

However, isn't this one of the purposes of his desire to become a businessman, to meet different people and experience interesting things.

Mann ate dry food, put his hands behind his head, and complained while leaning against the carriage.

"At the beginning, I wanted to eat meat."

After eating dry food for several days in a row, his mouth almost forgot the other tastes.

"Didn't you think it was too expensive and didn't buy it at the time?" Chu said lightly.

"I regret it now." Mann said confidently, squinting his eyes.

Similarly, he is now looking forward to it even more. For the future journey, they still have a whole continent to travel.

······
The geographical location of Hiskama City is very special. It connects the Badlands and the human kingdom, but at the same time it separates the two places.

It is in a range of mountains, surrounded by towering rocky peaks that are too high to climb.

For humans, if they want to enter the barren land from the kingdom, they must pass through the city of Hiskama, otherwise they will have to go twice as far.

But for the herd of beasts, if they want to enter the kingdom from the barren land, the road to Hiskama City is not the only way. After all, some wild beasts can completely climb over the mountain.

Although the beasts that are slaughtered usually choose to attack from the front, but in order to prevent the herds from entering the kingdom as much as possible, the army stationed in Hiskama must not only guard the city wall, but also patrol the surrounding mountain roads.

But even so, there will still be some fish that slip through the net and enter the kingdom to cause disaster.

On a mountain path outside Hiskama City, a group of Kingdom soldiers were patrolling the road behind the city.

If a herd of beasts enters the kingdom through the mountain road, it is likely to pass by here. What this team of soldiers has to do is to deal with those fish that escaped the net.

"This shitty fall."

On the road, a soldier squatted on the side of the road, untied the water bottle from his waist, took a sip and cursed.

I have to admit that this autumn is really not easy for them.

"Get up." Another soldier patted him on the shoulder: "There is one more point to look at."

"Understood." The soldier squatting on the ground rolled his eyes but stood up helplessly.

The soldiers were about to leave, but none of them noticed that there was something in the rocks on the mountain road that had been staring at them, and they had changed from hunters to prey.

"Ho..." Behind a rock, a gray-black giant wolf crouched, it showed its fangs, and its black hair almost blended with the shadow of the rock.The erect animal pupils stared closely at the group of soldiers, with a muffled growl in his throat.

As its sound spread, wild wolves appeared one after another behind the rocks beside the mountain road.
