survival in the wilderness

Chapter 309 Visit
Seeing Gu Qing's worried and stubborn appearance, Lan Xing couldn't bear to say: "Village chief, think slowly, we are still here. Just take care of the people in the village."

Gu Yi said beside him: "Lan Xing, people have already offended you, what do you think?"

He could see it. Although Lan Xing was also impatient, he didn't look like he had no choice.

Lan Xing waved his hand, "What can I do? It depends on Lin Yan and the others. They will fight if they say they want to. I'm not afraid."

Gu Yi had nothing to say, and he understood that Lan Xing obeyed orders, and he really wanted to listen to Lin Yan and Lan Yue.

After breakfast, Lin Yan said to Gu Qing: "Village Chief, you are here to buy things in Ancheng, so hurry up while you still have time. Besides, we will stay in Ancheng, you have to go back before the cold season. Prepare early."

Gu Qing hurriedly asked: "Aren't you going back to Dahe Village?"

"Yeah, we wandered all the way and finally came to Ancheng, so we will stay here for a while."

The expressions of Gu Qing and Gu Yi changed drastically. With Lin Yan and the others around, only the villagers came safely, and it was luck on the way back.

Lin Yan knew what they were thinking, and it was a good way to come to Ancheng with them. As for sending them back, there was no such possibility.

Gu Qing also understands that it is not good to force others to make things difficult, and instead said: "If you offend Fan Li, you must be careful. I will lead people to deal with the goods today, buy things tomorrow, and go back the day after tomorrow."

Lin Yan took out 20 taels of silver, "Village Chief, you have helped a lot along the way, and this is our thanks."

Gu Qing's heart was trembling, but he still refused: "I've already had enough money to follow you into the city, and I can't take any more money from you."

"Village chief, it's our fate to go all the way together. If we make money, we should share some with you. The cold season is coming, you take the money and buy more things to bring back."

As he spoke, Lin Yan winked at Lan Xing and asked him to give the money to the old village head.

Lan Xing's work was reassuring, and Gu Qing and others accepted the money gratefully.

When the people from Dahe Village went out to buy, Lin Yan looked at himself and said humanely: "We are going to stay in Ancheng for the winter season. The people who came last night were just testing. If we want to stay safely, we must take good care of the relationship between all parties. Blue Star Come and visit the city lord's mansion with me, and the others guard the courtyard."

There must be a lot of people staring at them, and the cattle and horses in the yard are shining targets.

Lin Yan continued: "Ancheng is a chaotic place, without legal constraints, and acts brutally. Only by showing strong strength can we deter all forces."

Wen Xue: "Does this make us arrogant?"

"The meaning is similar. We don't take the initiative to cause trouble, but we are not afraid of trouble."

Gao Qiang smiled foolishly: "Don't worry, I checked carefully after entering the city, and there are not many people who can beat us."

"If we fight alone, we will definitely win. I'm never worried about that." Lin Yan smiled, "I'm afraid that if the local forces unite, no matter how hard we can fight, we won't be able to fight against the siege of hundreds or even thousands of people. So, everyone Don't go out alone, at least three people together."

Lan Yue: "I will go to the City Lord's Mansion with you."

After thinking about it, Lin Yan still refused, "You have to stay and guard the yard. You did a good job last night. I can't leave both."

Lan Shu chuckled and said, "That's right, everyone was scared out of their wits last night by your means. The more confused you are, the more deterrent you will be."

Speaking of mental strength, who would not be envious.Along the way, Lin Yan and Lan Yue used it many times, which made them jealous.

It is really invisible, intangible, unpredictable, and hard to guard against.People who don't know will only be more frightened.

Fan Li and Song Zhi last night are clear examples.If Lanyue stays, there will be a big lesson for anyone who doesn't have eyesight.

After the discussion was over, Lin Yan and Lan Xing left, and the people left behind tidied up the yard and added various defensive measures.

This rented yard has become their temporary base, and they may have to live in it for several months, and necessary measures must be prepared.

The trap under the courtyard wall, the placement of the backyard, there are many things to do.

As soon as Lin Yan and Lan Xing went out, the guards followed quickly.

Lan Xing glanced at it: "Do you want to dispose of it?"

Lin Yan shook his head and looked around casually, "No need, we are aboveboard, so there is nothing to be afraid of. If you want to follow, just follow, and when they arrive at the City Lord's Mansion, they won't be able to enter either."

"That's what I said, but the tail behind me always makes people feel uncomfortable."

Lin Yan comforted: "Be patient. When we first arrived in Ancheng, we entered the city with a high profile, which attracted the attention of various forces. Stalking cannot be avoided, and we cannot deal with everyone. Our purpose is to stay, not to fight with others. Fights."

She just wants to live through the cold season safely, and I will not be offended if people don't offend me.

The City Lord's Mansion is some distance away from the courtyard where they lived, and Lin Yan's eyes never rested as he walked all the way there, seeing everything in surprise.

She really wanted to go into the store and take a stroll. There were all kinds of shops and people coming and going, which was so curious.

After walking for more than half an hour, they came to the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.

Lan Xing tsk-tsk said: "As expected of the city lord's mansion, the gates are wider than other places. It looks different and imposing. Look at this wall, it is at least three meters high, and it is all made of stone. It is very strong at first glance. The entrance There are still people watching."

"This is the City Lord's Mansion, which represents the rights and status of Ancheng. It must be different from other places." Lin Yan was not surprised. "This is the status symbol of the Shen family, just like in Sun City. Is it also magnificently built?"

"Once you say that, I understand." Lan Xing nodded, "Will they let us in? What are you going to tell the city lord when you go in?"

"Let's go in first." Lin Yan walked to the door first.

Unsurprisingly, he was blocked. The chief guard of the City Lord's Mansion was tall and burly, with a fierce face, and he was not easy to provoke.

With a height of nearly 1.7 meters, Lin Yan looked extremely weak in front of the guards.

Before the guard could speak, she hurriedly smiled flatteringly, "Brother Guard, we are new to Ancheng, and we specially came to visit the City Lord's Mansion. This is just a little bit of kindness, please accept it."

The silver ingot in his hand was stuffed in, and the guard's face warmed slightly due to the weight of his hand, "What is your name, I will pass it on to others, and I will summon you when the city lord is not busy."

"Brother, is the city lord here today? I just wanted to see the city lord as soon as I entered the city, and I have something important to report."

The guard stared at Lin Yan for a few seconds, thinking of the order he received in the morning, could this be the person the city lord was waiting for?
"Brother, we entered the city yesterday and had a little conflict with Brother Fan Li of the City Lord's Mansion. Isn't it time to rush to make an apology? I hope the elder brother will be accommodating."

Lin Yan smiled to please him, but he was thinking in his heart that he must go in today.This is a signal, as long as the city lord's mansion can be left intact, other forces will be scruples, and those who want to make a move will pause their minds and continue to wait and see.

All they need is time to get to know Ancheng well.
