Lin Chuan’s sudden approach made A Ning frown, and she instinctively wanted to step back.
But when she heard what Lin Chuan said.
She couldn’t help but stop.
A Ning frowned and said: "You mean... the group of people behind me?"
Lin Chuan nodded and said: "Yes."
Seeing the somewhat ambiguous look between the two, Wang Fatty was stunned for a moment, and quickly interjected: "No, Linzi, when did you hook up with her? You're showing off your love in front of me in broad daylight, you're not a brother at all!"
"Get lost!" Lin Chuan laughed and scolded, then explained: "That group of people are here to pan for gold."
Pan for gold?
Hearing this, how could Wang Fatty not know that the other party was also in the same line of work.
"The forces from Xiangsha?"
"Linzi, can you tell what their background is?"
Wang Fatty asked in a low voice.
"What background? Just talk to them and you'll know."
Lin Chuan didn't answer his question directly, but said: "And following them, we can go up the mountain today."
As he spoke, he walked towards the inside.
Lin Chuan went straight to a nearby table and sat down, saying bluntly: "Gentlemen, are you also planning to go up the mountain? Why don't you give us a ride?"
As soon as these words came out, the people in the hall had different expressions, all showing a little surprise.
The man with a scar on his eye corner was Panzi, and he looked at Wu Sansheng beside him, as if asking for his opinion.
Before Wu Sansheng could speak.
Another young man with a somewhat scholarly appearance stood up and asked curiously: "Also? You're also going up the mountain?"
Needless to say, Lin Chuan guessed it.
This man should be Wu Xie, nicknamed Tianzhen.
It's clear from his looks that he's naive.
"Cough..."
Wu Sansheng glared at his grand-nephew and instructed: "Don't forget what you promised me before we left."
Wu Xie lowered his head and said helplessly: "Third Uncle, I know."
It was just a promise to be more obedient, not talk nonsense, not move around, and just watch more when traveling outside.
Wu Sansheng turned and looked Lin Chuan up and down, then asked suspiciously: "So, little brother, are you also here for a sightseeing trip?"
"It's a pity that the mountain road is blocked by mudslides, and there's no guide who can lead the way. I'm afraid you'll be disappointed like us."
Lin Chuan thought to himself, this guy is really an old fox. He's truly cautious when traveling outside.
But to get into the mountain now, you can only go by water, enter the Corpse Accumulation Cave and pass through it.
Only this guide they've found has the way.
"No way, I heard that there is a guide who is willing to take the water route, and he's already been booked by you guys.
"If you don't want to go, why don't you give the guide to us?
"The price is negotiable."
Lin Chuan said so.
Wang Fatty also came closer, pointing at A Ning beside him and said: "Yes, our boss has plenty of money."
At this time.
Panzi leaned into Wu Sansheng's ear and whispered a few words.
Following that, Wu Sansheng's gaze fell on the position of A Ning's waist.
He only heard him say in a displeased tone: "Gentlemen, if you are really here for sightseeing, then it would be a good idea to travel together."
"But carrying such a thing, you must have other purposes for this trip."
"Just leave, I pretend I haven't seen you."
As he spoke, his right hand made a slight gesture of a gun.
Lin Chuan looked over.
Sure enough, a pistol shape could be faintly seen on A Ning's waist.
But those who can see it.
They must be familiar with firearms.
The two in front of them, naturally, could see it.
"A Ning ah."
"I told you not to wear this tight leather jacket, it's no use."
"It's obvious at a glance."
Lin Chuan couldn't help but tease.
Upon hearing this, A Ning's face was rarely a little embarrassed, but she quickly recovered.
However, she also understood what Lin Chuan meant.
Take the water route, bypass the blockage.
Just then, an old man arrived at the door, driving a bullock cart.
"Gentlemen, we can leave now."
The old man shouted to the inside.
"Fatty, that old man has a way to go up the mountain."
Lin Chuan said.
"Got it!"
Wang Fatty, upon hearing this, immediately came outside.
He put his left arm around the old man's shoulder and took out a stack of red banknotes with his right hand, talking in a low voice.
Soon, the old man was smiling.
Taking five people or eight people, it's all the same, and he gets extra money.
Why not?
"Third Master."
Seeing that something was wrong, Panzi made a slight gesture of a hand knife to Wu Sansheng.
"We'll see when we get on the road."
Wu Sansheng shook his head, pressed his hand down, and said calmly: "Panzi, Da Kui, load the equipment onto the cart, let's go."
Not long after, the equipment they brought was loaded onto the bullock cart.
The two groups of people followed the old man, each on a different side.
After about two hours, the group arrived at a ferry crossing, and in front of them was a river tens of meters wide.
Due to the rain, the current was very swift.
"Gentlemen, we're here."
The old man smiled and said: "You see that guy over there, he's our boatman. We can only take the water route from now on."
Everyone looked over.
Sure enough, they saw a middle-aged man at the ferry crossing, busy with something.
There was also a big black dog beside him, ignoring the swift current, paddling and swimming in the water.
"Donkey Egg, come here."
Perhaps sensing the arrival of people, the boatman called the dog ashore.
"Old brother."
Wu Sansheng stepped forward and extended his hand in greeting.
Unexpectedly, the other party ignored him, and went straight to the side.
The old man who led the way quickly explained: "Don't mind him, he's the only boatman here. He's just like that, he gets up and starts working every day, and sometimes he doesn't get up all day, and doesn't work all day."
Panzi puzzled: "Such a big river, why is he the only boatman."
To this, the old man continued: "The River God is giving him food to eat. They respect him. If anyone else enters that cave, they won't come out. Only he's okay."
Wu Xie couldn't help but interject, joking: "What, can people be eaten in that cave?"
The old man patted his tobacco pouch, took a strong puff and said: "People in the village say there's a snake spirit in that cave. And they also say this boatman is a reincarnation of a snake spirit."
These words left everyone speechless, but most of them didn't believe it.
Wu Sansheng looked at the big black dog, clapped his hands, and shouted: "Donkey Egg, come here, come here!"
This move worked surprisingly well.
The big black dog actually broke free from the boatman and ran towards them quickly, sitting obediently under Wu Sansheng.
"He's truly a descendant of Dog Five Master, even a random dog on the road can be summoned at will."
Lin Chuan secretly praised in his heart.
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, a flash of golden light appeared in his mind.
Immediately, the system prompt sounded.
"Ding!"
"Genius Insight triggered, host observes Wu family's dog training techniques, and suddenly comprehends the Gu Immortal's insect-controlling technique!"
