Divine Light Warrior
Chapter 827 Frog Meat
Li Kaiyang, Xiaolan, Gu Xueying and Li Song were sitting in a carriage, bumping along the way to the capital of Qin. They were looking forward to the trip, hoping to see the life of Qin Shi Huang and learn how this extravagant monarch spent his days. However, they didn't know that an accident would change their fate.
At this time, the sky suddenly became gloomy, dark clouds gathered, and heavy rain poured down. The coachman hurriedly drove the vehicle to find a place to shelter from the rain, but the road was muddy and difficult to move. Finally, they found a high slope. With his rich experience, the coachman successfully drove the vehicle there and avoided the impact of the raging floods.
Just as everyone was celebrating their escape, several people seeking help appeared in the rain. It started to drizzle, and soon it turned into a downpour, and the road became muddy. Suddenly, a group of elderly people appeared in front of them. They were trapped in the rain and were struggling to move forward.
Li Kaiyang saw this scene, and a wave of pity surged in his heart. He decided to stop the carriage and invite these old people to get on the carriage to avoid the wind and rain. However, this proposal immediately aroused Xiao Lan's strong opposition.
"No!" Xiao Lan said without hesitation, "We are already crowded enough, how can we accommodate so many more people? Besides, who knows where they come from? What if there is any danger?"
Li Kaiyang frowned and tried to persuade Xiao Lan: "But they are all elderly people. If we don't help them, they may get sick or even be in danger of death. We can't just stand by and watch them die."
Xiao Lan still shook her head firmly: "We can't take care of ourselves, how can we take care of others? If we accept these people, we will only bring more trouble to ourselves."
The two disagreed and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
At this time, the person in charge of the Bone and Blood Camp came out to smooth things over: "How about this, we move the luggage under the car and let the elderly take shelter from the rain. They can leave after the rain stops. This will not affect our trip and will also be a favor to them."
Li Kaiyang and Xiao Lan looked at each other without saying anything. Finally, Li Kaiyang nodded, indicating that he agreed to this plan.
Then the soldiers of the Bone Blood Battalion began to get busy, moving the luggage from the bottom of the car to make room for the elderly. The elderly were filled with gratitude and thanked them one after another.
The rain gradually stopped, and the old people climbed out from under the car, thanked Li Kaiyang and others again, and then left. Looking at their backs as they left, Li Kaiyang felt relieved. Although he had a conflict with Xiao Lan, at least he didn't let the old people suffer in the rain.
With Gu Xueying's mediation, they finally accepted these old men. These old men were naturally very grateful, and they thanked them profusely every time they spoke. Some of them were so excited that their eyes were wet. They didn't know what to say for a while. It was just a pity that the heavy rain had been falling for several days in a row, and there was no sign of stopping. Such a situation was too rare. What was worse was that the food they carried was very limited. If it continued like this, they would soon face the crisis of running out of food.
Faced with this question, everyone fell into deep thought. In the end, Li Kaiyang made the decision. He gave all the remaining food in the car to the elderly. However, the elderly were a little hesitant and uneasy. After all, they were worried that it was not appropriate to do so. But in this special situation, they could only accept this kindness helplessly.
But at this moment, Xiaolan began to be unhappy again. She felt that her food was eaten by others, so what should she do in the future? Despite this, everyone knew that if the rain continued, all of them would face great difficulties. On the third day, one of the old men suddenly fell ill... However, this old man also had a special skill, which was to catch frogs from the water. Because the rain was too heavy, there were frogs everywhere in the water. Although the old man was old, his movements were extremely agile. Whenever a frog jumped in front of their car, he could always catch it easily. In this way, he caught one on the left and one on the right, and actually caught dozens of them. It was still dry under his car, so the old man lit a bundle of firewood on his back. After lighting it, there was still a certain distance between the firewood and the car, so this small pile of fire would not pose a danger to the vehicle. Then, the old man washed the frogs and grilled them under the car. Soon, Li Kaiyang and others smelled bursts of fragrance in the car, but they didn't know what the fragrance was. Xiaolan couldn't help but be curious, so she opened the car window and saw that the old man was grilling under the car. She couldn't help but salivate, looking at the food that was roasted golden and crispy, exuding an attractive aroma, it really made her mouth water. Seeing other people eating delicious frog meat, Xiaolan was very anxious. She also wanted to eat frog meat very much, but thinking of her bad attitude towards Li Kaiyang and others just now, she was too embarrassed to ask others for frog meat. So she could only watch secretly, and then silently put down her door curtain.
In fact, Xiaolan was really hungry and wanted to eat a bite of delicious frog meat. However, because of her previous behavior, she was embarrassed to ask for food and could only endure hunger silently. At this moment, she was in an extremely depressed mood.
On the other side, Li Kaiyang and others were enjoying the delicious frog meat. Each of them held a few frogs in their hands, which made crisp sounds when bitten, and tasted crispy and delicious. They ate with relish, immersed in the world of food. Only the people in Xiaolan's vehicle were still hungry. Although they had other foods to fill their stomachs, those foods pale in comparison with the roasted frog meat.
Li Kaiyang and the old man were eating, but they deliberately didn't give Xiaolan and the others food. This made Xiaolan very angry. She couldn't help but yelled, "Just eat! Just eat! You'll eat until you're full! I see you're eating so happily, can you live ten thousand years? We won't starve to death if we don't eat, we have other things to eat!"
At this moment, the horse that Xiaolan and her friends were riding on was bitten by something in the water and suddenly fell to the ground and died. This sudden change scared everyone. The driver hurriedly tried to control the horse, but the frightened horse ran forward in panic. Soon, they came to the junction of the county and the place became more and more desolate. Li Kaiyang knew in his heart that they were close to their destination and would definitely need to get off the car to greet the owner and introduce himself.
The horse was seen galloping in the water. The driver tried to stop it, but he couldn't stop it. When Li Kaiyang and others saw the carriage running out of control, they hurriedly drove their own carriages to catch up. The two carriages were in a critical situation. The old men chose a peculiar way to save their lives - hiding under the carriage. There was a storage space under the carriage, and several old men hid there. Although the road was bumpy, at least they were still alive. However, after running for a while, the horse in front still couldn't stop, and the driver behind was already very anxious, not knowing how to deal with the dilemma.
Unable to catch up with the running car, Li Kaiyang was a little helpless. He began to panic. What if the car flipped over and the people on it were in trouble? When he was panicking, an old man below suddenly spoke.
At this moment, an old man below suddenly spoke up, saying that the carriage was fine, and that you should not panic, because I had the skills to control the horses, and that I could stop them in front of me and show you how to tame a horse. He got off the carriage and walked a distance between the two large boxes, then suddenly opened his eyes again, and the scene in front of him was completely different, with people busy working.
After the old man finished speaking, he crawled out from under the carriage and climbed to the front. He saw the driver waving a whip to drive his horse. He quickly stretched out his hand and said to the driver: "Give me the whip! I will help you control this horse first, because I am not afraid of anything at home, but you can't control it. So I can use a few whips to make it stop. If it doesn't agree, we can try to see if we can subdue it. If we can successfully subdue it, it will be great."
After the old man took the man's whip, he flicked it, and the horse's four hooves flew away like an arrow. In a blink of an eye, it caught up with the carriage in front. The carriage in front was still running, but the old man, despite his advanced age, was extremely agile. He jumped up and jumped onto another carriage steadily, then swung the whip in his hand violently and entangled the horse's neck. Then, he twisted it back two or three times, and the horse miraculously stopped, saving the lives of the people in the carriage.
At this time, Xiaolan was hiding in the box, crying. She never thought that this journey would be so dangerous. She was full of grievances and resentment, but she didn't know who to vent to.
When the car finally stopped, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At this time, the old man returned to his car and asked Li Kaiyang for a few skewers of roasted frog meat. Then, he took the food to the stopped car, handed it to Xiaolan and other passengers, and told everyone: "Come, you also eat more and taste my cooking." The old man's tone was full of concern and comfort, which made people feel warm.
Looking at the food in their hands, Xiaolan and the others couldn't help but shed tears of emotion. Despite the difficult situation, the old man's kindness and generosity gave them hope and courage. Xiaolan said to the old man gratefully: "Thank you, Grandpa! We will definitely persevere!"
The old man smiled and replied, "You're welcome, kid. Even though the rain is so heavy, as long as we can find food, we can definitely survive. When the rain is a little lighter, I will teach you how to climb. Then, we can buy some ropes and tie them to the trees, so that we can leave here more safely and quickly."
After hearing the old man's words, Xiaolan and the others regained hope. They knew that as long as they united as one and helped each other, they would be able to overcome the difficulties and get out of the forest. So, they all nodded in agreement and decided to follow the old man's advice.
At first their relationship was a little tense at the beginning, but after the small detail of giving away the frog meat, it was much more harmonious. Xiaolan was really too hungry. Although he did not give away his food to the old people, they also had food to eat, but he always felt that a change of taste would be better. So Xiaolan took seven skewers of frog meat and ate them with relish. He felt that the most delicious food in the world was frog meat. After eating it, he wanted to eat another skewer, but the others had already started eating. No one was polite, and everyone shared the frog meat that was sent by others. Li Kaiyang and his friends had already eaten and drunk enough, and were just waiting for Xiaolan and his friends to put away the frog meat and continue on their way. But they waited and waited, until the sun was about to set, and then they saw Xiaolan and his friends packing up and getting ready to set off.
Li Kaiyang took a look and used his ability to control the horses, and solved the problem of the frightened carriage. Although their carriage was a little crowded, it was still no problem for the three old men to sit in it. So he took the initiative to invite the old men to sit in the carriage with them, and then leave here together. When they passed their destination, they would put them down. However, the old men firmly refused and insisted on staying under the carriage. Mr. Li thought that this was too uncivilized, so he shouted loudly that they must get on the carriage.
Although the man called "Old Man Ran" was a little embarrassed, Li Kaiyang didn't care about these details. He invited the three old men to get on the carriage one by one. At this moment, there were six people in the carriage, plus the driver, a total of eight people. Although the space was a little cramped, it could still accommodate everyone. Xiaolan and her friends' carriage was moving faster, but the horses were exhausted and could not continue to move forward, so they had to stop and rest for a while.
Li Kaiyang frowned and asked, "Where are you going, elders? Why are you out in such a heavy rain? At your age, shouldn't you be enjoying your life at home?"
One of the old men smiled and said, "Young man, we can't just sit there doing nothing."
Another old man went on to say, "The place we are going to can be said to be the front line. There are continuous artillery fire and shouts of killing that resound through the sky."
Kaiyang looked at them with some concern: "If you follow them, there will definitely be danger. Even if I can protect you, facing so many enemies' attacks, I may not be able to take care of everyone."
The elderly people expressed their understanding and gratitude.
Kaiyang sighed: "Well, in that case, I can only learn from you how to dig tunnels. I hope everyone will be safe."
