Chapter 87 I Am Not Good at Drinking
The night falls in the west, and the moon and stars hang high.
As the sunset gradually sinks into the sky, stars appear in the gradually gray sky.
Lu Heng and his companions are still walking on the road, and the red-haired woman is still leisurely following behind them, keeping a distance.
In the quiet forest, the sound of insects on both sides of the road is endless.
Although the red-haired woman following behind them is very far away, her footsteps are always clearly heard, which clearly tells Lu Heng and others in front that I have been following.
At this time, even Lu Heng couldn't help but be a little curious, curious about what the red-haired woman wanted to do.
But seeing that the other party didn't speak for a long time, Lu Heng couldn't help but feel a little fun in his heart.
Since you don't speak, then I won't speak either, let's see who can't hold it back first.
Thinking of this, Lu Heng gave up the idea of taking the initiative to talk to the woman.
After reaching the roadside post ahead, Lu Heng and his party went in directly, planning to stay there tonight.
And the red-haired woman followed in as expected.
Huo Feng had just cut down a tree and dragged it in, and the red-haired woman pushed open the door and walked into the house.
At this time, Xiao Ai had just split the tree trunk into neat firewood with both hands, and Huo Feng was responsible for lighting the fire.
After the red-haired woman came in, she didn't say anything, but walked to another corner of the post house and sat down, just in a corner of the house with Lu Heng and his party.
Then, under Huo Feng's vigilant and Xiao Ai's indifferent eyes, the woman stretched out her hand and a cycad tree outside the post suddenly broke silently, and the tree body flew directly towards the post.
When the lush cycad tree flew under the night sky, the branches on it crackled and fell off on their own.
In the end, only the bare trunk flew into the post.
As Huo Feng watched in astonishment, the red-haired woman smiled and snapped her fingers. The trunk of the cycad tree that flew to her side broke into pieces of firewood, which fell behind her and were neatly stacked.
Some of the wood fell in front of her. The moment these wood fell, they ignited without wind, and the warm and dim flames instantly illuminated the figure of the red-haired woman.
She smiled and looked at Lu Heng and raised her eyebrows.
At this time, Huo Feng was still trying to ignite the fire with flint...
Being provoked like this, Xiao Ai glared at the red-haired woman coldly, pointed with her right hand, and the wind and thunder disappeared. The firewood that had not been ignited for a long time flashed with lightning and actually caught fire.
It was just that the flames that suddenly burst out rose up. Although Huo Feng, who was unprepared, retreated quickly, he was still burned by the flames on his eyebrows and hair, and his face was immediately bitter.
But he looked at the little girl with cold eyes beside him, and then at the smiling red-haired woman not far away, and found that no one could afford to offend him. So Huo Feng was speechless for a few seconds, and could only shut up and sit aside.
Xiao Ai walked out the door, peeled and bled the civet cat caught on the roadside in the afternoon, and prepared to bake dinner for Lord Wolf God tonight.
The red-haired woman leaned against the wall leisurely, humming a strange ballad, shaking the gourd in her hand and taking a sip from time to time.
In this way, seeing that the atmosphere in the room seemed to ease a little, Huo Feng breathed a sigh of relief, carefully took out the bread from the bag, and took small sips with water.
Lu Heng lay beside the fire and closed his eyes to practice, seemingly indifferent to all the movements in the outside world.
Although the red woman's skill in controlling fire and controlling objects just now was superb and effortless, Lu Heng ignored it completely.
The more the woman provoked him, the more he wanted to laugh.
The other party's behavior was just like that of a naughty child who deliberately made trouble and wanted to attract the attention of adults. It was so funny.
After Xiao Ai dealt with the blood and internal organs of the civet cat, he walked in with the small animal with its four legs spread out on a wooden stick and sat by the fire to roast it.
The post house fell into a temporary tranquility.
Until around 11:00 p.m., the night was deep, and the barbecue in Xiao Ai's hand had already exuded an attractive aroma, while noise and footsteps were heard on the road not far away.
"Brother, there is a post house ahead."
"Okay! Let's rest here tonight, everyone start a fire and cook, and taste the taste of this big insect."
"Hahahaha..."
Amidst a burst of laughter, the traveling merchant team that Lu Heng had seen during the day came to the door of the post house. Looking at their excited appearance and the tiger skin hanging on the back of the pack animal, it seems that the tiger in the daytime has been killed.
However, when the merchants arrived at the door of the post house, they were all stunned.
In the post house with the door open, there were two campfires on the left and right. The figures beside the campfires sat in a corner of the room. Although there was no verbal communication, there was a tit-for-tat atmosphere in the room.
The three brothers in the lead hurriedly bowed their hands and saluted, sweating profusely.
"We passed by here and did not intentionally disturb the master. Please forgive me..."
While the three of them bowed their hands, the merchants behind them all bowed their heads and apologized.
While talking, everyone secretly observed the performance of the two groups of people in the room.
After seeing that neither side responded, the merchants retreated cautiously.
After retreating a long way, seeing that the two groups of people in the room did not chase out, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
"Damn... I was scared to death..."
"The atmosphere in this post house is too weird, right? I almost thought we couldn't get out..."
"That red-haired woman is smiling, but it's more terrifying than the big insects we meet in the daytime..."
"Stop talking, that little girl with silver hair and animal ears is also scary. With that cold look in her eyes, I almost thought she was going to kill someone..."
"Why did we unexpectedly stumble upon such a scene... Go quickly, go quickly, and stay away from this place. Don't get hurt."
"It's so fucking scary..."
The merchants had walked far away before they dared to whisper in a low voice.
The pressure they felt in the inn just now was too great. Even though this place was far away from the inn, they still did not dare to stay. They all held torches and walked in the wilderness in the dark night, fearing that the group of strangers in the post behind them would come out to hunt them down.
Not long after the group of merchants left, Xiao Ai finally finished roasting the civet meat in the inn.
Looking at the white wolf sleeping beside her with his eyes closed, she called out respectfully, "Lord Wolf God, you're healed now."
The white wolf by the campfire opened his eyes and nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work, Xiao Ai."
As he spoke, he sat up slightly.
Xiao Ai held up the wooden stick in his hand and handed the roasted civet to the white wolf's mouth. Lu Heng opened his mouth and took a bite, then began to chew and enjoy the carefully roasted game.
Now that he has cultivated himself, he doesn't have to worry about virus infection.
But as soon as Lu Heng took a bite, the red-haired woman in the corner actually took the initiative to speak.
She smiled and said, "With meat but no wine, wouldn't it be half the fun? I have a jug of good wine here, how about inviting Brother Wolf to have a drink?"
As she said that, the woman took off the other gourd from her waist and said, "I drink one gourd myself, and most of the wine in it is of poor quality. And I give the other gourd to friends, and the wine in it is good wine...Brother Wolf Are you interested?"
Lu Heng raised his head and glanced at her. Seeing that the other party took the initiative to talk to her, he also smiled and said, "Thank you for your kindness, miss. It's a pity that I'm not good at drinking. I'm sorry."
Lu Heng's words spoke the truth from his heart. He was indeed not good at drinking, nor did he like drinking.
However, the red-haired woman shook her head after hearing this, "Brother Wolf's words are really perfunctory, and it makes me heartbroken."
After saying that, she tied the wine gourd that she was going to throw to Lu Heng back around her waist, sighed and shook her head, as if she was very shocked.
Lu Heng said, "Everything I say is true, and it is definitely not lies."
However, the woman in the red square seemed to be disheartened. She sat there quite decadently, humming a strange song and ignored Lu Heng.
Seeing the other party ignoring Lu Heng so much, Xiao Ai frowned slightly, his expression quite unhappy.
Lu Heng was much calmer. Seeing that the red-haired woman was silent, he ignored her and continued to eat the barbecue that Xiao Ai brought to his mouth.
Inside the post, it fell into silence again.
Apart from the occasional beeping sound from the fire, the only sound was the strange song softly hummed by the woman in the corner.
Although the tune is weird, for some reason it still sounds good after listening to it for a long time.
