Longevity starts from strengthening internal organs

Chapter 8

I didn't expect such turmoil to happen here, no wonder the price of food has remained high in the past few months.

Luo Feng opened his mouth even more, and couldn't help asking: "How do you know these things? I remember that the city gate has not been opened for the past few months."

Zhou Hua sneered, "Can everything be blocked by closing the city gate? You are too naive."

Then he stopped talking and walked quickly to the front of the dart team.

Zhao Ya looked at his back, thoughtful.

Luo Feng couldn't help but muttered: "What, you speak as if you are so mature."

The dart team was traveling at a very fast speed. By noon, they had already traveled thirty miles. At this speed, it would not be a big problem to reach the destination in the evening.

Luo Qiang also breathed a sigh of relief, and ordered to rest and have lunch on the spot.

In fact, there are fixed rest spots on the usual dart roads like this before, and they are basically small roadside shops. Although they are simple, they can at least have a hot meal and hot dishes.

But now, after encountering a refugee attack, all these small roadside shops have disappeared.

So Luo Qiang and the others had to eat some of the dry food they brought.

Zhao Ya took out a piece of air-dried beef, tore off a strand and chewed it slowly in his mouth.

Now he always has some air-dried meat on his body at any time, and eats two pieces when he is free, which can not only strengthen his physical strength but also kill time.

At this moment, there was a sudden sound of horseshoes on the official road, Luo Qiang got up immediately, stood on the escort cart and looked into the distance.

The crowd immediately dispersed to protect the escort vehicle.

At this time, Zhao Ya saw a puff of smoke billowing from a distance, and rushed to the front in an instant.

This is a single horse, and a strong man is sitting on it.

It's just that the situation of this strong man is a bit miserable at the moment, with scars all over his chest and abdomen, and blood is still oozing out.

Even so, the strong man's eyes were still frighteningly bright.

And even though they were so far apart, Zhao Ya could still feel the fierce blood on the strong man.

Zhao Ya could feel it, let alone Luo Qiang.

Seeing this escort Luo's complexion changed, he was about to speak when the strong man pulled the reins and stopped in front of the escort team.

"Can you have drinks and food?"

For a while, no one dared to respond.

The strong man frowned.

"Without alcohol, dry food is also good, I don't eat your food for nothing."

As he spoke, he reached out and took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket and threw it over.

Luo Qiang had also reacted at this time, and saw that he reached out to catch the piece of silver, picked up a bag of dry food, put the silver in it, and threw it towards the strong man.

"There is no need for silver, please use it for strong men."

The strong man took it casually, and he was not polite, just nodded.

"Farewell."

After that, he hit the horse and went away.

This man came and went in a hurry, and disappeared on the official road in the blink of an eye.

Luo Feng looked at it curiously, and couldn't help sighing.

"Tsk tsk, why is this guy acting like a normal person after suffering such a serious injury?"

At this moment, Luo Qiang said in a deep voice: "Get up quickly and leave here."

When he was away from home, his words were orders, and everyone immediately got up and headed towards their destination.

For the rest of the journey, Luo Qiang didn't say a word, his face was very solemn.

His performance also made everyone feel a little uneasy, even the most active Luo Feng didn't dare to talk nonsense.

Fortunately, the rest of the journey was safe and sound, and they arrived at the destination of this trip, Wujiaying, before the sun set.

This Wujiaying is said to be a village, but it is actually an ancient castle.

The village was surrounded by earth walls made of rammed earth, and Zhao Ya even saw several watchtowers and archery towers.

If the gate is closed, even if there are hundreds of ordinary people, they will never be able to break through in a short time.

At the entrance of the village, Luo Qiang stepped forward to negotiate.

Because they were all acquaintances, the gate opened soon, and Zhao Ya and others escorted the escort car into the village.

By the time Luo Qiang and the person receiving the goods finished handing over, it was completely dark.

Fortunately, the martial arts camp is very spacious, and there is also an inn.

Luo Qiang took Zhao Ya and others to stay in Wujiaying for one night, and only set foot on the return journey early the next morning.

When I came here, I was dragged by the goods, so I couldn't get up fast, and it was different when I went back.

Everyone traveled lightly, so they walked more than half of the distance before noon.

Seeing that it was at most twenty or thirty miles away from Dancing Elephant City, a group of people suddenly appeared on the opposite side.

These people were all riding tall horses, and the leader was a man in a blue cloak with a long knife on his waist, blocking the road.

The atmosphere instantly became very tense.

Looking at Luo Qiang at this time, he calmed down instead, with a smile on his face, and clasped his fists together.

"My friend, we are members of the Changlong Escort Bureau in the Elephant Dance City. This time, we are returning from escorting the Elephant Elephant Escort. We are about to return to the Elephant Dance City, but I don't know why you are blocking the way, my friend?"

What he said was neither humble nor overbearing, and he clearly told the other party that he was returning from the escort with an empty car, without oil and water.

Unexpectedly, the man in the lead didn't care about this at all, and just asked in a cold voice.

"Let me ask you, just above this official road, have you ever seen a strong man riding a horse with injuries?"

Zhao Ya's heart skipped a beat.

Were these people looking for the strong man from yesterday?
Luo Qiang's expression remained unchanged, he shook his head and said, "We just passed this road just now, and we didn't see any injured strong man."

"Really not?"

"No."

"Huh! I guess that guy can't run very far, let's go." The man greeted, ignored Luo Qiang and the others, and led his men to continue chasing him.

Luo Qiang let out a sigh of relief when they were all gone, and then gave orders immediately.

"Go, go back to the city immediately."

In fact, there is no need for him to order, everyone has already made preparations.

The rest of the journey was safe and sound, and he returned to the Elephant Dance City soon. After returning to the Escort Bureau, Luo Qiang immediately went to find the head of the Escort, apparently to report what happened on the road.

Zhao Ya and the others relaxed.

All in all, although this first dart walk encountered some unexpected situations, it was considered smooth.

Luo Feng was so excited that he started bragging to those handymen.

"You haven't seen it, this time we went out and met a..."

He wanted to continue talking, but Zhao Ya stopped him suddenly.

"Luo Feng, come with me."

Luo Feng didn't know why, so he followed Zhao Ya to the side.

"Brother Zhao, what's wrong?"

Zhao Ya said in a deep voice, "You'd better not talk about what happened on the road this time."

"Why?" Luo Feng still didn't understand.

"There's no reason, in short, you don't want to talk about it everywhere, and I believe your second uncle will tell you so later."

After finishing speaking, Zhao Ya patted Luo Feng on the shoulder and left.

Luo Feng didn't know why, but soon his second uncle Luo Qiang gave him a gag order, and it was strictly forbidden to tell anyone about what happened when he went out this time.
