C122 The Secret of Sausage

"What's going on?" The brothers didn't understand.

In the end, they walked towards the kitchen together. When they got closer, they discovered that Mrs. Xu was lying on the ground with her eyes closed, her chest bullied, proving that she was still alive. Her mouth was stuffed with buns that she had not swallowed yet … How did she faint just like that?

Just as he was pondering, he saw Ning Yan and asked: "What happened to her?"

"Nothing, I just poured some anesthetic into the sausage that the thief from my family stole from my house …"

Zhou Yi's forehead started to drip sweat.

Chen Huo stuck out his elbow and nudged Zhou Yi, causing him to recover his strength and cough: "Your mother has eaten quite a lot, she should be full now, do you want to carry her into the house?"

"Yes." Ning Yan nodded, although she noticed that something was amiss with Zhou Yi, she was too lazy to ask.

Just as he said that the sausages were drugged, Zhou Yi suddenly tensed up. It was obvious that the thief who stole the sausages was in his eyes.

But now was not the time to fuss about it. He extended his hand and picked Mrs. Xu up from the ground, without needing anyone to help him, he kicked the door and placed the Mrs. Xu on the bed.

When she accidentally touched the bundle on the bed and spread it out, Ning Yan saw the thing that Mrs. Xu brought with him in one glance.

Looking at the pieces of silver inside the bag, Ning Yan raised her eyebrows. She thought that Mrs. Xu did not have a mind of his own, and had given all the money she had without a mind of his own. However, it seemed like this was not the case.

Picking up Mrs. Xu's backpack and putting it on the bed, Ning Yan closed the door and walked out of the room.

Zhou Yi and Chen Huo were still standing in the courtyard.

"Aren't you going to sleep here at night?"

"No, no." Seeing that Ning Yan did not continue with the sausage issue, the two of them walked towards the room together.

Looking at the two's silly expressions, Ning Yan chuckled and returned to her room.

"..."

"..."

The Mr Xue research had finally come to an end.

Thus, they gave and the other two more days of leave, and brought Ning Yan up the mountain.

Originally, Ning Yan thought that Mr Xue was old, so she took care of him and intentionally slowed down his footsteps. However, after walking for a while, Ning Yan realized that Mr Xue was still walking steadily, and even his breathing wasn't erratic.

Even if he increased his pace, Mr Xue would still be able to keep up.

This...

This era's martial arts were truly strange.

Ning Yan was a little envious and wanted to learn.

"You want to learn? You're past the best age right now and you haven't improved at all."

"…" Ning Yan did not want to speak, so she just walked up the mountain. Maybe it was because she was not in a good mood, but her walking speed was faster.

This Mr Xue did not seem to be short of breath at all.

When they reached the place where the mountain people gathered, the Mr Xue stopped.

He took out a whistle from his body and took a deep breath, causing the whistle to whistle loudly.

A few people walked out after a while.

The leader was still a man with a scar on his face. When he saw Mr Xue, Dao Ba smiled and the centipede-like marks on his face trembled a little. Luckily, Ning Yan was the one following behind Mr Xue.

Dao Ba seemed to have a lot of trust in Mr Xue, his face did not have the slightest trace of defense, and happily asked: "Mr Xue, you came?"

"Okay, let's go inside first."

"Please." Dao Ba made a gesture of invitation and walked in first.

Because she was brought by the Mr Xue, Ning Yan openly walked into the gathering area this time. As she walked, she could also take a look at her surroundings.

The area around the wooden house was filled with thorns. The thorns could block some of the wild beasts outside, and on the other hand, it could block the footsteps of the people hunting in the mountains.

Only in this way can the mountain be kept relatively stable.

Walking to a wooden house, Dao Ba stopped and turned around to look at Old Man Xue, politely saying: "Please come in Mr Xue."

Divine Doctor Xue walked inside with a smile, while Ning Yan followed behind him.

When they arrived at the wooden house, a woman placed two bowls of water on the table. "Sir, please do not mind."

Mr Xue took a sip, "The mountain spring water is clear and cold.

"…" Was it such a good thing? Ning Yan raised her bowl and took a sip.

The water was quite sweet, but how did the mountain spring distinguish it?

His gaze landed on Mr Xue, seeing Mr Xue's satisfied expression, Ning Yan actually did not ask where he knew the difference between them.

As the ancients were easy to make tea, they might actually make tea for themselves.

"Mister, what's the matter with you coming up the mountain?"

"It's not important. Big Scar, didn't you want these young people to go down the mountain? Now that there's a chance, do you want to try it? "

"Of course I'll try. How many people would mister like?" Dao Ba did not doubt Mr Xue's words at all. He was excited and almost wanted to take the people from the mountain with him.

"Girl Ning, how many people do you need?"

"Eleven or two is enough." Going to the northwest, even if they met bandits, they could still rely on their cleverness to avoid it.

Moreover, she would prepare all sorts of armor, swords and blades, as long as she was not too rash and cautious, Ning Yan thought that there shouldn't be any problems, after all, more than 10 men walking together, even if they met tiger, they need not be afraid.

"It's the Young Lady that hired us mountain villagers."

"Yes." Ning Yan nodded, there was nothing to hide.

Then, what does the Young Lady need someone to do?

"…" This was too much. Ning Yan would not tell these people what kind of gold was hidden in the Northwest before she trained them out.

He didn't know when a ship would come by, but it was still quite interesting to see tomatoes, pomegranates, and cantaloupes across the ocean.

Xuanzhao's shipping industry is underdeveloped, otherwise …

With both feet on the ground, he could not rashly advance. He muttered in his heart about Ning Yan raising her head: "If I were to be obedient, there won't be any danger, and the fees are very generous."

Dao Ba could not trust Ning Yan, so he used his gaze to communicate with Mr Xue.

Mr Xue laughed: "Girl Ning trusts you."

"Alright then. Mister, go and pick someone." As Dao Ba spoke, he took the bone spoon and sucked it.

The men from the assembly area gathered around.

"Why did the leader call us here?"

"Don't waste time, stand properly." Dao Ba was quite prestigious in the gathering area. With a single word of reprimand, the noisy crowd immediately quietened down.

Ning Yan circled around the hundred of people, and finally picked a few that were slightly more mature and old than twenty, and also selected a few that were a little more than ten years old.

This age group was just at the stage where one had great strength and vigor. Even if one walked around once, he would not be tired. The naked sleeper was among these people.

"That's it." Ning Yan said to Dao Ba.

Dao Ba nodded his head: "Does Lady Ning want these people to follow you down the mountain now?"

"No, three days later." In three days, the identity documents of these people would probably be revealed.

What happened afterwards, Ning Yan had already calculated in her heart.

Ning Yan followed the Mr Xue back to the hut, and ate the mountain people's regular barbecue. When they were about to leave the mountain after filling their stomachs, Ning Yan asked them: "You guys live on the mountains, have you seen a tiger before?"
