Chapter 197.
Chewing on the delicious barbecued bear meat, Wang Dust glanced at the two men who had just entered.
The one blocking the entrance of the temple was a gnarled man with a sturdy and robust figure, wearing a set of greenish-gray power shirt.
His appearance was rough, but his face was pale, with a bloody scar from the corner of his right eye all the way to his chin, and his flesh looked quite hideous.
This gnarled bearded man’s left and right temples were bulging high, revealing the characteristics of a great accomplishment of internal energy.
And the one he was protecting was a twelve or thirteen year old brocade-clothed teenager.
This teenager timidly poked his head out from behind the gnarled bearded man, a hint of curiosity showing on his handsome and literate face.
When he met Wang Chen’s gaze, he immediately shrank back.
The gnarled-bearded man saw Wang Dust’s appearance, and immediately loosened his grip on the short sword, cupped his fists and said in a deep voice: “This Taoist Master, my master and servant are passing by to avoid the rain, please make it easier.”
Although Wang Dust looked very young and alone.
But the gnarled bearded man with rich experience in Jianghu did not underestimate him in the slightest, and his attitude was very polite.
Wang Dust smiled and said, “I’m also sheltering from the rain, make yourselves at home.”
“Many thanks, Taoist Master.”
The gnarled bearded man closed the temple door, then took the brocade-clothed boy’s hand and sat down by the corner of the main hall.
Keeping a certain distance from Wang Chen.
The two of them were all drenched, and the brocade-clothed boy began to shiver just as he sat down.
The gnarled bearded man unzipped his traveling bag and fished out a fire refractor from it.
He went behind the idol and turned around, actually holding out a pile of dry firewood.
These firewood were left behind by travelers or hunters who used to stay at the temple for the convenience of those who came after them.
Convenient for others and convenient for oneself was considered a fine rule of the jianghu.
With these firewood, the gnarled bearded man skillfully set up a bonfire.
It made the inside of the temple hall brighter and warmer.
“Gu~”
The brocade-clothed boy who was roasting the fire suddenly made a strange sound in his stomach.
His face instantly turned red.
“Young master wait a moment.”
The gnarled bearded man hurriedly took out two flapjacks from his traveling bag and placed them next to the fire to roast.
This kind of pancake was dry and hard, very hard to eat if not heated.
The brocade-clothed young man swallowed his saliva and secretly looked over at Wang Dust, his gaze glued to the steaming cooking pot.
A look of anticipation came out of his eyes.
The gnarled bearded man sensed this and secretly laughed bitterly.
This young master of his family was good at everything, but he had never tasted the hardships of the world.
Now that he is in trouble, he is still thinking about other people’s delicious food.
However, I don’t know what kind of food Wang Chen cooked, but it actually smelled so appetizing.
Even he, the old man, almost drooled when he smelled it, not to mention the teenagers who were growing their bodies.
Bang!
Just as the gnarled bearded man hesitated to ask Wang Dust if he was willing to sell some food to himself.
Suddenly the temple door was vigorously slammed open.
A group of people scrambled into the main hall, causing the atmosphere in the temple to instantly become clamorous and noisy.
“Straight mother thieves, what a heavy rain!”
“It’s drenched my old man’s crotch, fuck him!”
“Close the door!”
All of them were sturdy and tough jianghu merchants.
Many of them were carrying huge traveling bags, cursing and swearing as they wiped the rainwater from their heads and faces.
When these Jianghu Clerks saw Wang Duan sitting in front of the idol, as well as the master and servant by the corner.
Their voices immediately lowered, and they looked at each other with hesitation in their eyes.
One of the han who looked like the leader gave a wink, and these Jianghu guests tacitly sat down in the hall, circling a large piece of territory.
The two went straight to the back of the idol, then returned empty-handed.
One cursed, “Fuck, which bastard took all the firewood and didn’t leave a single one!”
He blurted out in exasperation, and a few jianghu guests subconsciously looked over at Wang Duan and the gnarled bearded man.
The two bonfires were burning brightly.
The leading man frowned and said in a deep voice, “Old Four, shut up!”
Walking in the jianghu, the most taboo thing to do was to mess with unknown characters for trivial matters.
That gnarled bearded man was not a character to be messed with at first glance, and with a rich kid-like teenager, nine times out of ten, he was taking refuge from a disaster, and he was 100% a troublesome character.
As for Wang Dust who occupied the best position in the hall, he could not see through it at all.
But Jianghu experience, dare to walk alone outside the monk, most of the deep hidden body mastery.
Wang Dust’s appearance is ordinary, but a Taoist robe cloak, the temperament is calm and unfathomable.
They run the jiangsu to feed their families, their lives are more important than anything else, why would they want to offend such a character for a few pieces of firewood?
Being glared at by the leading man, that old four resentfully closed his mouth.
He was not inexperienced in the jungle, but he had just been drenched by the torrential rain, and had run all the way here, cold and hungry.
Seeing Wang Dust sitting around a campfire making congee and roasting meat, his heart felt very uncomfortable.
Out loud cursing, in fact, there is also the meaning of testing in.
In case you can be deceived, is not it a pleasure?
But the boss spoke, he could not not listen, only to return to the companions with a face of displeasure.
Everyone touched out dry food to nibble and eat.
Boom!
As a result, without eating a few bites, the temple door was double kicked open again!
Wang Dust, who was sitting in front of the idol, was simply speechless.
Is this a temple fair?
And this time there were four men and one woman who came in totaling five people.
Their appearance could be described as strange, some were bald, some had no ears, some had one eye, some had a broken arm, and one had a missing thigh and was walking with a crutch for support.
The common characteristic of the five was ugliness, and it was ugly in its own way.
Including the one-eyed woman, she was also ugly out of the sky!
However, having seen these five people, the gnarled bearded man and the dozen or so jianghu guests who had organized the group changed their faces in unison.
The fast-talking oldest four lost his voice and said, “The Heavenly Crippled Five Scattered People!”
These five scattered people were famous in the jianghu, it was said that they came from the same family and were more like brothers and sisters, all of them were highly skilled in martial arts and were proficient in different arts, and they had once joined hands to kill an innate powerhouse in a battle.
Since their physical features were too obvious, everyone recognized them at a glance.
As soon as Old Four’s words fell, a viper-like sinister gaze fixed on him, “Jie Jie Jie, I can’t imagine that after a few years of not appearing in the jianghu, there is still someone who remembers our five siblings.”
Nima didn’t take a look at you guys either!
A group of Jianghu Clients secretly spat, simultaneously gripping their respective weapons.
The temperament of the Heavenly Crippling Five Scattered People was extremely perverse, killing without blinking an eye, and there was no reasoning at all.
Since they had bumped into each other, even if there was no grievance or enmity, they were prepared to fight to the death.
However, in the next moment, the Five Scattered People’s gazes looked towards the gnarled bearded man.
The one-legged one among them said sorrowfully, “Yuchi Zhong, we respect you as a man, as long as you obediently hand over your people, we’ll let you off!”
The gnarled bearded man took in a long deep breath, got up and stepped forward, already gripping his short sword.
While his battle spirit flourished, he glanced at Wang Dust next to him.
This glance instantly caught the attention of the Five Scattered Men.
The one-legged man’s gaze flickered, “Dare I ask this Taoist Master his name?”
Wang Dust, instantly became the center of attention in the room!
