He was already a cultivator, and the hardships and sufferings of a cultivator were definitely different from ordinary people, which Xiao Nan understood, but he didn't want his experience to be different from that of a cultivator, and his body and mind were unbearable.

The conversation with the woman in the room continued, and from the woman's mouth, Xiao Nan learned that there were several towns around the area, almost all of which were mainly business-oriented.

To Xiao Nan's surprise, the woman said that there was not a single cultivation gang in this area.

"I've seen some cultivators, but they are not from gangs, they are all descendants of those big families. The woman was surprised that Xiao Nan would ask these questions, so she looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Childe, are you also a cultivator?"

Xiao Nan nodded, he didn't want to talk to this irrelevant woman about this matter, he just wanted to know some about the local situation, so that he could decide where to go, and he would decide to leave tomorrow.

Xiao Nan took out a silver ingot and put it in front of the woman, and said with a smile: "Girl, it's not early, you can go back and rest, thank you for accompanying me for so long." ”

"Childe, don't you need me to accompany you?" the woman's face flushed.

"No, I called you, I was just talking. ”

The woman stood up and curtsied and said, "This silver is too much, I'll ask Xiao Er to bring you the silver later." ”

Xiao Nan asked her to accept it with peace of mind, closed the door, and meditated and cultivated in the room alone, but there was always a lingering figure lingering in his mind.

As soon as it was dawn, he instructed Xiao Er to boil water, take a bath and change clothes, and then walked out of the inn.

On the bluestone-paved streets, there were already people coming and going, on both sides of the road, there were many shops, Xiao Nan looked left and right, and also entered a few of them, but he just asked to see.

The most piled up on the shelves were ordinary materials for refining pills, and he had nothing to buy and sell, and the trading currency here was all in silver.

I bought two fragrant burritos at a street stall, and walked to the carriage that the Hongchen woman had told me last night while eating.

Xiao Nan wanted to hire a carriage to go to Anqing in the north, and the woman was from Anqing, and she told her that there were bigger cities further north.

It is also more than 300 miles away from Anqing, and it takes a few days to ride by horse-drawn carriage.

At an intersection, on one side, Xiao Nan saw the carriage shop, a low and wide wall, dozens of carriages of all kinds were densely packed.

Hundreds of people were busy inside, and some men dressed in green cloth and short shirts were carrying huge wooden boxes and bulging sacks into the wagons carrying goods.

Seeing this, Xiao Nan thought of that time in Wuxiang City, more than 20 people were tragically poisoned by Qian Yuehai, he escaped, and thus stepped into the ranks of cultivators, but later the death of his master and various encounters, Xiao Nan had mixed feelings in his heart, it was really a place for misfortune and blessing, and a place for blessing and misfortune .......

"Childe, are you going to hire a carriage, where are you going?"

As soon as Xiao Nan came to the account window of a car hire business, a shrewd thin man greeted him with a smile.

"I'll go to Anqing and hire a car. Xiao Nan responded.

"How many people do you need?"

"Alone, a slightly faster car. ”

"Childe, it's really hard to do it alone, this month or two is the peak season, there are a lot of businessmen, single horses, two horses and three horses have been ordered in advance, and only a few two or five horse-drawn cars are left. The thin man said apologetically.

"How much is the five horses?" Xiao Nan didn't hesitate, thinking that the car of the five horses must be spacious, and it will take a few days to get to Anqing, and you can sit and lie down as you like if it is spacious.

"Then it's not cost-effective, the five horses need thirty taels of silver, or, son, you stay here for a day, and come back tomorrow, I'll prepare one for you?"

"Thirty taels is thirty taels, prepare one for me, I'm in a hurry. Xiao Nan pretended to put his hand into his arms to make a silver gesture, and took out a few large pieces of silver from the dragon ball and put them on the counter.

The thin man nodded, took the silver and checked it, weighed it and found it, and then ordered a young man behind him to lead Xiao Nan to prepare the carriage.

There were two coachmen, and after arranging for Xiao Nan to get into the carriage, he told Xiao Nan to wait a while, and the two went to the stable in another place to lead the horses together.

The carriage was indeed spacious and comfortable, with two rows of chairs facing each other, covered with soft cushions, with a long table in the middle, and small wooden windows that could be opened and closed on all sides.

After more than 20 minutes, the two coachmen put the five tall horses in place, only to hear the coachmen's shouting, and the carriage moved forward slowly.

As soon as I reached the gate of the wall, I heard the shouting from behind, "Stop." ”

Xiao Nan looked through the window and saw the thin man waving his hand quickly, followed by four people, two men and two women, and their clothes were very bright.

"Childe, I'm really sorry, I'll discuss with you, these people are also in Anqing, and all the carriages of the car dealer have been hired, can you make it convenient? They are willing to pay the fare. The thin man pulled the car door and said to Xiao Nandao with a smile on his face.

Although Xiao Nan was reluctant, he was not the kind of person who did not understand human accidents, and he did not speak, but nodded.

"That's so thankful for this big brother, this is the fare, and in order to show our gratitude, we are willing to pay an extra ten taels as compensation. A young man behind him who was as strong as an ox and whose face was immature said angrily, and handed over a few large ingots of silver in his hand.

"No, come up. "Xiao Nan doesn't want to be a hitchhiker.

He hired a car just for fun, and he now walks at a speed that I don't know how many times faster than a horse-drawn carriage.

The young man was a little surprised to see that Xiao Nan did not accept the money, and hesitated for a moment before putting the silver into the package in his hand.

"Brother, get in the carriage quickly. A delicate girl beside him pulled another woman who was slightly older than her, walked around his strong body and got into the car, and sat on the bench opposite Xiao Nan.

The two men also got into the carriage immediately, one man sat on the opposite side, and the sturdy young man sat on the side with Xiao Nan, and when he sat down, the whole carriage trembled a few times.

"Lao Li, let's go. The stout young man shouted to a man in the distance.

The carriage moved again to the shouting of the coachman.

"Brother, it's all your fault, let you arrange it early, you said you weren't in a hurry, and you told you to get up early in the morning, and you said you weren't in a hurry. The girl complained in a delicate voice.

"Hehe, didn't we get into the carriage? The complained brother smiled innocently.

The girl snorted, then turned her head to look out of the window, Xiao Nan was also looking at the flowing scenery outside through the same small window, without saying a word, which and she would inevitably have contact when their eyes moved.

Xiao Nan had no choice but to withdraw his gaze, but there were four other people in the same carriage, and there was nowhere to avoid his gaze, so he had to make the decision to close his eyes and recuperate.

Before he could implement it, the young man beside him, who looked like an ox, asked, "Big brother, what do you call it?"

Xiao Nan replied with a smile on his head: "Xiao Nan, what about you?"

"My name is Gongsun Lian. ”

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, and thought to himself: "Gongsun Lian, your male characteristics are so obvious, how can you choose such a delicate name?"

"It's not a lotus lotus, it's an incorruptible lotus. He seemed to have guessed Xiao Nan's thoughts, and hurriedly explained.

Xiao Nan nodded to him kindly, and the three people opposite were amused with laughter.

"This is my sister Gongsun Yan. Gongsun Lian pointed to Xiao Nan and introduced the girl opposite, and the girl looked at Xiao Nan without any scruples when she heard this, and looked out of the window again after a while.

"This is Miao Jing, this is Yao Kui. Gongsun Lian introduced in turn.

Xiao Nan also nodded in turn and opened his mouth to greet.

"Miss Gongsun. ”

"Miss Miao. ”

"Yao Gongzi. ”

"Brother Xiao is also here to do business?" Yao Gongzi on the other side spoke, his appearance was ordinary, but he was not lacking in handsome and elegant bearing, plus he was wearing an elegantly decorated gray and white robe, which highlighted a noble temperament.

"No, I'm here to visit relatives, and a few of you are here to purchase medicinal herbs, right?" Xiao Nan also wanted to defuse the awkward atmosphere, after all, he had to spend a few days with them in this square place.

"I'm here to buy medicinal herbs, and a few of them are here to play. Gongsun Lian answered.

By this time the carriage had left the town, and the surrounding area was very open, and the mountains outside the window had already winded into the distance, and among the flat and vast fields, there were sometimes village houses.

Dozens of wagons carrying goods followed closely behind them, the chariots, the horses Xiao Xiao, Xiao Nan opened the back window and looked, a convoy followed closely by one meandered far away, very spectacular.

"The carriage that followed it was all my family's cargo. Gongsun Lian opened his mouth to explain.

A trace of dissatisfaction rose in Xiao Nan's heart, and he thought, "Look at this situation, you have hired at least seventy or eighty carriages, and in the end, you will come to take my ride." ”

"Brother Xiao, are you just coming to Anqing?" asked Gongsun Lian.

"No, I'm going around, I don't have a specific place to stay, let's talk about it when I get to Anqing. ”

"I see. Gongsun Lian suddenly reached out and picked up the package placed on the seat, reached out and took out the silver and put it in front of Xiao Nan.

"Brother Xiao, this silver tael, please accept it, originally I also hired several carriages to carry passengers, but there are a lot of people in the nursing home who came together, and today we have a few people from several shops here in Changfu Town who are temporarily following with us, and they can only follow behind the convoy, so it bothers you ......." ”

"Don't see the outside, don't worry about the work of your hands, Gongsun Gongzi, don't worry about it. Xiao Nan resolutely pushed the silver back.

These four people saw that Xiao Nan was dressed very ordinary, and they didn't see him with a package with him, but they didn't pay any attention to the whole forty taels of silver, and several people felt quite strange in their hearts.

At noon, the convoy stopped, and Xiao Nan looked out the window and saw a delicate town built of blue bricks and tiles a hundred meters away on the side of the road.

"Brother Xiao, let's go, let's go to the town for lunch, and the horses need to rest, feed water and feed the forage. Gongsun Lian opened the car door and jumped out of the car with a bang.

Xiao Nan also got out of the car with a few people, and when he looked at it, he found that in front of his carriage, there was also a huge convoy composed of nearly 100 carriages.

"This is the Fan family's convoy, Fan Xiao's kid is also eating in the tavern, let's go, let's go to him for a drink. After speaking, Gongsun Lian beckoned to Xiao Nan and strode towards the town.
