I survive in the weird Liaozhai

Chapter 124 Mist

The mountains and rivers were shrouded in mist. Under the dim sky, hundreds of soldiers walked quietly on the long winding road.

"stop"

Upon hearing the general's order, the soldiers stopped in unison.

Xu Biao looked at the thick fog in front of him with serious eyes. After thinking for a moment, he waved his hand and a strong airflow swept several meters in front of him.

But in just a moment, the thick fog quickly filled the gap that Xu Biao had just blasted out, as if being pulled by a silk thread.

Seeing this scene, Xu Biao's face changed drastically. Without waiting to explain to everyone, he turned his horse's head and galloped back.

"Master Gu, my mother asked me to bring this to you."

He reached out and took the food box from the child and placed it on the wooden table beside him.

Gu Nian'an smiled and patted the child's head. "Thank you for your help, Xiao Wei."

Jiang Wei gently waved his hand and said, "No, Master Gu is injured. These are what I should do."

As Jiang Weiyi spoke, he opened the lunch box and placed the food on the table.

"These are Master Wu's specialties. He used to be a cook in his father's army camp. Later, when his father left for the border, Master Wu followed him back.

It’s just that he’s old and rarely cooks in recent years. Today, he’s in the mood to cook some dishes. Chef Gu, come and try them and see if they suit your taste.”

"it is good"

Gu Nian'an picked up the chopsticks from the food box, picked up a piece of golden roasted lamb and put it into his mouth. The moment the lamb entered his mouth, his eyes lit up.

It is crispy, tender and not greasy. It is a rare delicacy.

After tasting all the side dishes on the table, Gu Nian'an couldn't help but admire Master Wu's cooking skills.

The dishes were simple, not exquisite at all, but they were definitely delicious, and the portions were generous, which was very important for a warrior.

After tasting the dishes one by one, Gu Nian'an picked up another pair of chopsticks from the food box and handed it to Jiang Wei.

"Let's eat something together."

Jiang Wei did not refuse. He picked up the chopsticks that were handed to him and started eating with Gu Nian'an.

The two of them quickly finished the food on the table.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Wei asked, "Master Gu, can you tell me how you got injured?"

Gu Nian'an put down the chopsticks in his hand, and his tone seemed very calm, "Didn't your mother tell you?"

Jiang Wei shook his head slowly. "Mother said that she couldn't say much about you. If I want to know, I can ask myself."

After a moment of hesitation, Gu Nian'an spoke again, "It's just that I was a little too eager to succeed when practicing, and some things went wrong. It's no big deal."

"Master Gu's father told me that the mentality of practicing martial arts is very important. You must not rush into it, otherwise it will only backfire."

Alas! Of course he knew this truth, but there were too many things he needed to do. Without sufficient strength to support him, everything would be in vain.

But he would not ignore the well-intentioned warnings from others, so Gu Nian'an smiled and bowed to the child in front of him and said, "Thank you, Master Jiang, for your reminder. I will pay attention to it in the future.

Hearing Gu Nian'an's joking words, Jiang Wei's face turned red, and then he waved his hands and said, "Master Gu, that... that's what my father told me, I was just saying it."

Gu Nian'an just smiled slightly and said

"By the way, if you don't mind, you can call me Brother Gu from now on. As for master or something like that, it won't be too late to call me that when I really have the ability to teach you someday."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah"

Jiang Wei nodded obediently and said, "Brother Gu, if you have nothing else to do, I will leave. I still have to practice martial arts. When your injury is healed, we can practice martial arts together."

"it is good"

Seeing that Gu Nian'an agreed to Jiang Wei's request, he happily cleaned up the dishes on the table and left.

After Jiang Wei left, Gu Nian'an lifted the curtain and looked at the thick fog outside the carriage. His brows immediately frowned.

Logically speaking, the guards on their group are so luxurious that not only ordinary bandits but even some powerful demons would not dare to cause trouble.

But the fog is too thick, visibility is less than three meters, and it is still daytime. It would be even more troublesome if it were night.

"Drive, drive, drive"

Xu Biao urged his horse to gallop, even though galloping in an environment with visibility less than three meters was tantamount to seeking death.

But...～Alas...～

He had no other choice at this point.

A few days ago, his wife divided the troops into three teams. He wanted to dissuade them, but when he thought that the teams were only a few miles apart and could provide timely support if any problems arose, he did not stop them.

But who could have expected such a change to happen today? The fog was too thick and now he had lost his direction, but Xu Biao did not dare to stop at this time.

Thinking that something might happen to his wife, the major general, and Miss Xue, he was extremely anxious.

"boom"

Hearing the noise, Xu Biao quickly came to his senses and instinctively jumped off his horse. When he rolled on the ground a few times and turned around to look, he was immediately frightened and broke out in a cold sweat.

The horse had been crushed into a meat patty by a huge rolling stone, with blood and internal organs scattered all over the ground.

After staring at his tragically dead horse for a long while, Xu Biao's eyes gradually turned red, but when he thought of his wife and the major general who might be in trouble, he did not dare to delay for even a moment.

He turned around and continued running in the direction he had chosen.

"call out"

Hearing the sound, Xu Biao swept the spear in his hand to hit the flying hidden weapon. When he looked carefully, he found that what had just flown towards him was actually a fist-sized stone.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Xu Biao moved his ears, flipped his spear, turned around, and threw the spear directly out.

"laugh"

A piercing scream pierced the sky and instantly flew into the depths of the fog.

After the spear fell out of his hand, Xu Biao quickened his pace and ran in the direction where the spear had just flown.

"Squeak, squeak, squeak"

One after another, shrill screams rang out in the silent fog.

When Xu Biao ran a hundred meters and saw the figure nailed to the tree trunk, there was some shock in his eyes.

“It’s a monkey.”

Reaching out and pulling out the spear, Xu Biao's face was a little solemn as he stared at the thing that was not yet dead and was still struggling on the ground.

It is undoubtedly a monkey, but its body shape is too abnormal.

The figure on the ground was seven feet tall, with muscles all over his body, and was even more muscular than an ordinary strongman.

"bump"

The spear swept across and smashed the monster's head in front of him.

"boom"

He spun around and punched a burly figure behind him, sending him flying several meters away.

Xu Biao's eyes were filled with murderous intent. No matter who the hell they were, anyone who dared to harm the general's family was a scum who deserved to be killed.

He exerted force with his feet, causing earth and rocks to fly, and Xu Biao's figure turned into a residual shadow and continued to fly in the previous direction.
