These people all had sharp blades at their waists. Their eyebrows were all raised as they stared at Ding Yi and Si Chenfei warily. Their reactions were very intense, but when they realized that there were only two people, they heaved a sigh of relief.1
"Big brothers, pass by here and avoid the wind and snow." Si Chenfei saw the crowd shrink back and smiled in embarrassment.
Hearing Si Chenfei's words, the dozen of people heaved a sigh of relief. They all looked towards one of the middle-aged men and asked, "Boss, what do we do?"
"Where are you two from?" The middle-aged man's face was dark and sharp. With a stern expression, he stared at Ding Yi and Si Chenfei and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Um, we're from a village hundreds of kilometers away. Aren't we planning to go to the Freer City to broaden our horizons?" Si Chenfei smiled naturally as he walked in, "I didn't expect it to be snowing so heavily, so we planned to come here to hide. I didn't expect to meet all of you old brothers."
"I hope that everyone can help out a bit. Let us spend a night in this lousy temple to avoid the wind and snow." After saying that, Si Chenfei took out a leather bag from his waist and said, "This is the wine I brought from home. Brothers, try it."
"That's all." He took the leather bag from Si Chenfei, opened it and took a sip. He immediately gave a big thumbs up and praised, "Not bad, good wine. It has a strong smell of sweet potato. Is this the famous gourd bar?"
Upon hearing the wine, the faces of the others who were still on guard eased up. One of them laughed and shouted, "Come, let me have a taste of the wine."
"Brothers, I won't let you suffer any losses. Let me give you a taste of the fruit wine brewed by my wife." As he said that, the burly man forthrightly took out a white leather bag and threw it to Si Chenfei.
"Thank you brothers for taking us in, otherwise we would have frozen to death outside." Si Chenfei received the leather bag with a smile. He winked at Ding Yi and sat cross-legged beside the bonfire.
"What's your name, brother?" The middle-aged man in the lead smiled and glanced at Ding Yi. He tore off a large piece of meat from the bonfire and threw it to Ding Yi. "Brother, eat a piece of meat to warm your body.
"Thank you." Ding Yi took the meat and replied in his stiff local language.
Hearing Ding Yi's accent, the middle-aged man couldn't help but raise his eyebrows. Looking at Ding Yi, he curiously asked: "Brother, are you from Freer City?"
"From the sound of your accent, it sounds like you're from the city. Why did you come to this remote place?" Although this middle-aged man looked curious, he was actually trying to find out Ding Yi's background.
He was still worried about Ding Yi and Si Chenfei. Even though Si Chenfei took out a gourd wine that only the locals knew how to brew, he still remained vigilant.
"My brother doesn't like to talk, his name is Ding Yi, my name is Si Chenfei." Hearing that the other person was still spying and Ding Yi had no intention of talking, Si Chenfei quickly continued, "Brother, where are you guys from and where are you going?"
"We are members of the Luo Family's caravan, we didn't just come back from Rosa, we are also going to Freer City." Before the middle-aged man even opened his mouth, the burly man who exchanged wine with Si Chenfei had begun to mutter.
Seeing his companion reveal his identity, the middle-aged man's expression slightly changed. He immediately looked at Ding Yi carefully, trying to find anything abnormal with Ding Yi.
However, he was destined to be disappointed this time. From the beginning to the end, Ding Yi's expression did not change. Even after knowing that they were a caravan, he still did not show any interest.
It was as if the Luo Family Merchant Group didn't exist in Ding Yi's eyes. Si Chenfei, on the other hand, was shocked to hear this and quickly said, "No, I didn't expect it to be the Luo Family Merchant Group."
Si Chenfei had never heard of the Luo Family's caravan before, but he knew one big taboo, and that was not to travel with the returning caravans because most of the returning caravans sold out of their goods and returned with a large amount of money. If they traveled with the caravans, they would easily encounter danger.
This entire journey is filled with obstacles and dangers. With just the two of you alone, I don't know how long you'll have to travel, but if you don't mind, you can leave with our group. Seeing the changes on their faces, the leader smiled and looked at Ding Yi.
"If that is the case, it must be …" Hearing the leader's words, Si Chenfei subconsciously agreed. However, halfway through his words, he remembered that he had to listen to Ding Yi, so he could only look at Ding Yi embarrassedly.
Sensing Si Chenfei's gaze, Ding Yi slightly frowned, turned his head to look at the leader of the caravan and asked: "How far is it to the Freer City?"
"Haha, there's no need for the two of you to be in such a hurry to agree. We'll think about it tonight. It won't be too late to make a decision tomorrow morning." The leader of the caravan laughed out loud, then after pondering for a moment, he answered, "We are about 3000 kilometers away from the Freer City. Based on our current speed, it would take us at least half a month to reach it."
"3000 km." Ding Yi said in his heart.
He suddenly regretted bringing Si Chenfei here, which was more than 3000 km. If he were to travel with all his might, he would only need 5 days to get there. If he were to walk with Si Chenfei now, who knows how long it would take.
"Sigh …" Thinking about this, Ding Yi let out a helpless sigh, and said in his stiff local language, "If Brother Chen Fei and I were to walk, I don't know how long it would take for us to walk. If you brothers don't mind, we two brothers can follow the team together, we would be extremely grateful!"
"Brother, these words of yours are foreign. Since we have cleared up a few carriages, the two of you should set off with us tomorrow." Hearing Ding Yi's words, the leader smiled and waved his hand, but a trace of light flashed in his eyes, but he quickly recovered and said with a smile, "My name is Chen Feng, I'm the leader of the Luo Family's caravan, my Freer City is very far away, my journey is filled with danger, I hope the two of you can be careful."
"Speaking of which, it's fortunate that the two of you encountered us. Otherwise, it would be very difficult for you to pass this road. Moreover, Snow Monster s are currently rampant in the wild and if you don't have enough strength by yourself, it would be very difficult for you to travel outside." Saying that, Chen Feng patted on their shoulders.
