Chapter 134: A Chance Encounter

Continue to ask for subscription support, rewards and monthly tickets, it would be even better, thank you.

...

Li Anran, who had just raised the fire, sat the grill on it. After the temperature rose to a certain level, the pieces that had just been taken out of the insulated box showed a beautiful tender red color, and the sirloin steaks sprinkled with some black pepper and salt salt were placed on the grilling net one after another.

As the tongue of fire was licked, the fat on the steak, which seemed to be marble, quickly made an attractive sizzling sound. After a while, a strong meat fragrance began to spread across the open space.

On the bonfire next to it, a pot of white and tender mushrooms were set up and live fish that had just been caught from the stream not far away. There were still chopped green and tender white green onions floating on the soup noodles.

On the stones beside the bonfire, there are also several large pieces of oval white bread brought from modern time and space. As time goes by, the soft and toasted bread begins to exude an attractive noodle and milky aroma.

As the water vapor like rain fog continued to rise in the soup pot, the delicious aroma, combined with the aroma of meat and bread, directly made Zhao Er, Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who had already spitted their stomachs clean, constantly swallowed and spit.

After rushing the mountain road for another hour, Li Anran, who was already used to riding the bus, couldn't help feeling dizzy. There was no way, it was too bumpy. Fortunately, the crime was not in vain, and he finally found the official road smoothly.

With this relatively spacious and flat official road, even if the place is still a distance from the county town, it will not take long to arrive at the ground with the speed of an off-road vehicle.

Considering that the eating habits of the ancients were different from those of modern times, when baking the steak until it was familiar with five or six points, Li Anran did not rush to deliver it to the camping table that had just been supported, but put it on a plate and added a lid to use the temperature of the steak itself to further simmer the uncooked parts inside.

With the appetite of Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, it was enough for them to eat one steak. After all, each piece of this sirloin steak weighs 500 grams. However, except for Zhao Er's one, Li Anran himself got as many as three.

After the steak was ready, the soup was stewed and the bread was baked thoroughly, Li Anran and his group sat around the camping table and enjoyed the somewhat late lunch.

While eating, there was a not-so-violent sound of horse hooves suddenly heard from a distance.

Since the camping place is not far from the official road, Zhao Er, who was originally eating, immediately picked up the long-handled sword that was placed at hand, stared at the direction where the sound came, and looked alert on his face.

After a while, a group of three riders turned from a bend not far away.

With Li Anran's extraordinary vision, it is easy to see the situation of these three people clearly. The two big ones are big and small, each with a strong outfit, and the smaller one is dressed as a servant. The three are all men, no, it should be said that the old one is a man, and the other young one is both a woman and the servant, but they are just dressed in men's clothes like Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun.

Judging from the dress of these three people and the suspicious items hanging on the side of the horse, Li Anran speculated that these three people were not officials, but should be the legendary ranger. However, unlike ordinary ranger, these three people knew at a glance that they were not the kind of gangsters who lived at the bottom of society. To be honest, they should be closer to the martial arts people in martial arts novels.

"Erlang, don't be nervous, it's okay, let's eat ours." With that mysterious feeling, Li Anran quickly confirmed that these people were not for him, so he said with a smile.

"Yes, young master." Zhao Er, who had long regarded his young master as an immortal, naturally would not question such a statement. However, as a close-fitting guard, he had no relaxation in his vigilance at all. He kept the long-handled sword directly at hand and could be drawn out to fight at any time.

Just after these two sentences, the three people riding horses had already arrived.

The black off-road vehicle parked next to the camp attracted the attention of these three people at the first time, and then the eyes fell on the four people who were sitting at the camping table enjoying a delicious lunch.

Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun were relieved, and the three of them did not stop, but ran over in one go.

But before the two of them could completely breathe a sigh of relief, they heard a sound of "sighing" horses. When they looked at it, they saw the three horses that had just run suddenly stopped, and then turned around and rushed back here.

After seeing this scene, Zhao Er didn't care about what to eat anymore. With a "knock!", he pulled out the long-handled sword at his hand. Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun couldn't help but press their hands on the short sword at their waists.

I don’t know if it was because I felt Zhao Er’s alert or because I was afraid of the sword that was flashing with cold light in the sun. The three people riding on the horse rushed back, strangling the horse from afar, slowing down, and soon stopped on the edge of the official road.

"Stop the person coming!" Zhao Er, who posed for both hands, shouted.

"This hero has invited me. I, Wei Chi, took my child through this place and felt a little hungry. I wonder if I could buy some food and drinking water?" The old man who was leading the charge sat on his horse and bowed his hand and said.

"To meet in this vast sea of ​​people is fate. Erlang, there is no need to do this." Li Anran, who did not feel the slightest malice and hostility from the other party, walked over and said with a smile without waiting for Zhao Er to speak.

"Young Master." Zhao Er, who was leaving his body, had no intention of taking back the steel knife in his hand.

"Old Wei invited me. I'm here to go to Fuzhou and take a break here temporarily. As the saying goes, it's better to meet me than to invite me. If you don't dislike me, why not come here for a while?" Li Anran, who bowed her hand, invited with a smile.

"Langjun Li shouldn't have refused to invite him, but he had something urgent to do with his child. Just ask him to give him some food." Wei Chi, who was sitting on the horse, bowed his hand and declined with a smile.

"Since that's the case, Mei'er, Yun'er, and Yun'er took out some bread from the car, and the two untouched steaks, and took three bottles of water for Erlang to send them over." Li Anran, who knew that the other party was also very cautious, did not force it, and turned around and ordered.

Su Xiaomei and Xiangyun, who received the order, took out a kraft paper bag of bread and three bottles of water from the car very quickly, and handed the two steaks and porcelain plates on the dining table to Zhao Er's hands.

"Erlang, don't forget to bring the water bottle back." When handing over the thing, Xiangyun did not forget to remind him.

"I understand." Zhao Er, who knew that his young master would not allow these soft bottles to flow outside, nodded and agreed immediately.

When he saw Zhao Er coming with food and water, Wei Chi immediately turned over and got off the horse and greeted him alone.

"This is bread, you can eat it by tearing it apart. This is steak. No one has touched it after it has just been baked. If you have water, you can take a gourd to serve it." Zhao Er, who had inserted the sword aside before, said while handing the thing in his hand.

"I'm sorry, this hero, I'll get it now." Wei Chi, who swept over the mineral water bottle, was stunned for a moment, then took the paper bag and porcelain plate containing bread and steak. Then he walked back to the official road and handed it over to the two tomboys who also came down from the horse, and finally took two gourds from the side of the horse and brought them over.

Three bottles of mineral water were filled with a half-dollar water. Although it was not too much, the distance from the county town was more than enough.

When Zhao Er handed over the thing, Li Anran stood by and watched. He originally thought that something would happen in the process, but unfortunately, reality is often unexpected. Until this old man named Wei Chi took the thing and thanked him, nothing happened.

"I'll go! The novel is indeed unreliable. I thought something could happen, but I didn't expect it to be done like this." Seeing the three of them disappearing quickly from the distance of the official road, Li Anran shrugged in disappointment and sat back on his seat.

"Young Master, these people are not simple, especially the old man, there must be someone living on them." Zhao Er, who had a long sword, did not rush to eat after returning to the dining table, but spoke.

"I also felt it, but there was nothing wrong with this person. If you guessed correctly, you should be a constable or something, not a big thief." Li Anran, who cut off a piece of steak and stuffed it into his mouth, said with a smile and shook his head.

"Young Master, why do you say that?" Su Xiaomei, who was beside her, asked in confusion.
