Chapter 129: Convoy

After another day of preparation, the next day, the four of them left the small courtyard. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 ļ½‰ļ½Žļ½†ļ½

The courtyard was not resold, but left empty. Anyway, if you have money, you can eat a bowl and watch a bowl, so it's okay to live in an empty place.

In fact, except for Lu Linlan, the spirit stones on the other three black cards have not been used yet. Lu Linlan just used his card to take out 10,000 spirit stones, and exchanged a small part for gold and silver. Lu Linlan's assets in the past were usually kept between twenty or thirty thousand spirit stones. But if it comes slowly, it will be spent. So whether you are rich or not, sometimes it is not just the amount of assets.

The four of them acted separately, and the card went with the people, and there was no one to keep it in a unified manner.

If it is divided into four, that is, if each person acts alone, then, perhaps, the other three of them, except Tao Nian, will spend a lot of money. The reality is only divided into two, and you have to restrain yourself so as not to make your peers laugh.

――

Qiu Shuyi and Tao Nian were there, Tao Nian was too lazy to come up with ideas, so Qiu Shuyi was in charge of all matters. When exactly will you get to Shifang City, and what kind of road you will take to get to Shifang City, I won't show it here.

only said that Lu Linlan and Dongfang Yiqiao were on their side.

――

Last time, Lu Linlan's plan to sell Yunyue Durate's order to Beiyanju was stopped by Tao Nian. Judging from the results, the effect is very good. And Tao Nian said when he stopped it: "If that business is done, it will prove that you are wise and close to the devil!" and the words that Tao Nian said when he stopped him were also echoing in Lu Linlan's ears every day.

Therefore, at the beginning, it was still the same practice as before, and Lu Linlan was in charge, where to go, when to go, where to live, what to eat, etc., all miscellaneous matters were decided by Lu Linlan.

Two days later, Lu Linlan asked: "Dongfang, when you are at home, what you do every day, what you eat every day, and what you have to go out to buy, is it all your mother who has the final say?"

"Uh-huh!" replied, rather simply.

Lu Linlan said: "You must know that people always have to grow up, and when they grow up, they will always leave their parents and live their own lives. It stands to reason that arranging these trivial matters is not complicated, as if it would be easy to see. However, if you don't get trained, you'll still be in a hurry. ā€

"Oh," asked Dongfang Yiqiao, "that is, there is a possibility of a mistake?"

"Yes," Lu Linlan said, "but the premise of the mistake is that there is something wrong." This thing refers to a serious thing, a slightly bigger thing. Now we're just rushing to Shifang City. Whichever way you go, whatever. Go fast, go slow, and casually. Anyway, it's early and late. Therefore, it can also be said that we are basically fine now. Since there is nothing to do, it is impossible to think about it. ā€

"This, Sister Lu has always been arranging, how can it be a mistake. Dongfang Yiqiao resolutely chose the latter among the two titles of eldest sister and sister Lu. Subconsciously, it is to distinguish himself from Qiu Shuyi.

Lu Linlan said: "I mean, from now on, it will be up to you to arrange it. ā€

"I, I won't, I've never arranged ......"

"Anyone who knows how to do it has had their first time," Lu Linlan said, "Don't worry, there are no outsiders anyway, anyway, we have a lot of money, and if we waste it, we will waste it." You arrange it for a while, and you will naturally become familiar with it. ā€

"That'...... Shall I try?"

――

After the transfer of power, Lu Linlan suddenly found that Dongfang Yiqiao was not as rusty as he thought. Her arrangement, although there are also unreasonable places, but in general, it is okay. The more prominent shortcomings mainly lie in the "small device". However, the formation of "small instruments" is naturally determined by her growth experience.

Lu Linlan thought for a while, and finally figured it out. In the past, the Chen family was indeed arranged by Chen's mother. But Chen's mother took the arranged things in hand, not to do more, but to take power. In fact, as long as it is under the premise of "Chen's mother has the final say", many specific things are still done by Dongfang by skill. And Dongfang Yiqiao, it is precisely because she has done a lot of things that she can get on the road quickly when it is her turn to arrange it herself.

This involves the word "small instrument", which can easily be confused with another word, "stingy". The dictionary's explanation is also ambiguous, and it seems that the mainstream literary world has acquiesced to the existence of this confusion, which is really very embarrassing.

In fact, it is still easy to distinguish between the two words. "Small vessels" are small vessels. When we speak of people, the vessels are people. That is: the small instrument is the small person, and the big instrument is the big person. The corresponding word is naturally "big instrument". There are words such as "late bloomer" and "must become a big machine" for reference.

And "stingy" refers to temper. People who are big can also be stingy. And people with small tools may not necessarily be stingy.

"Small instruments" are people who live in relative poverty at a lower level, and are closely linked to material things. However, it is still necessary to pay attention to whether the people of "small instruments" will grow into "big tools" in the future.

The word "stingy" appeared later. The corresponding "atmosphere", the first few meanings are not related, only "grand and magnificent momentum" is relatively reliable. It can also be seen from here that the word "stingy" is not very rigorous.

The relationship between people, from strange to close, is not suitable for jokes at every level. And even to the point where you can joke, you need to pay attention to the occasion. If the occasion is not right, then the joke cannot be made. When someone gets angry, they say they're "stingy" -- that's how the word "stingy" applies.

In fact, people have things they care about and things they don't care about. When something that doesn't care is affected, people behave like they don't care. And when something you care about is affected, the person is likely to be angry. Anyone else, at least, who influences what others care about, is also responsible.

Let's go back to the East.

Dongfang Yiqiao is not "stingy" but "small instrument". She was. Her childhood, her teenage years, her youth, all of them. Now, she is mixed with Lu Linlan and others, although she is not a slave, although she has not been oppressed, she is also speechless and has no right to speak. Therefore, her "small device" is normal.

――

There are many ways to get from one place to another.

In modern times, you can choose to take a plane, a bullet train, or a self-car. And if the Oriental arrangement is cleverly arranged by small utensils, it must be by long-distance bus.

In the world of cultivating immortals, especially in the middle of this continent, there are three main modes of transportation.

One is to take a large spaceship. This is a bit like a bus in form, but the price is not like that, and the price is more like an airplane.

The second is through the teleportation array. This one is special. Basically, it is not a public facility. There are only a few big forces that build the teleportation array. Therefore, the teleportation array is very cheap for those inside the force, and for those outside, it is either not allowed to use it, or it is very expensive.

The third way is to fly the sword. This is equivalent to driving. You must have a car for self-driving, and you must build a foundation for using a flying sword. Dongfang Yiqiao naturally did not build a foundation, but Lu Linlan had already married Dan, and it was completely possible for Lu Linlan to take Dongfang Yiqiao to fly. It's just that in the past, it was Tao Nian who brought the East to coincide. Now that Tao Nian is not here, Dongfang Yiqiao can't even think of letting Lu Linlan take him.

As a result, the mode of transportation chosen by the East by ingenuity was to take a horse-drawn carriage.

It's not about buying a horse-drawn carriage for yourself. Earlier, when there was no Dongfang Yiqiao, Lu Linlan, Lin Rui, Qiu Shuyi, and Huyan Xiangming, when they went to do the task of rattan stone mining, they bought a carriage and drove slowly.

Now, the Orient has arranged a ride in a public carriage by ingenuity.

After Lu Linlan heard this, although she felt uncomfortable, her face did not show it. In order not to dampen Dongfang Yiqiao's enthusiasm, Lu Linlan agreed in one bite, and also praised and encouraged Dongfang Yiqiao a few words.

――

Most of the people who rode in the public carriages were mortals. Among them, there are also immortal cultivators. Most of those immortal cultivators are cultivating qi, and there are also a few who build foundations.

Why did they have to take the public carriage after they had all built their foundations? This was the question that Lu Linlan thought to herself and asked herself.

As soon as Lu Linlan's mind turned, two answers came out. The most likely answer is that the foundation-building monks brought a lot of people. The person who brought it could be a Qi cultivator or a mortal. In short, the flying sword of the foundation building monk could not carry so many people. Therefore, there is only one way to take a horse-drawn carriage.

The relatively unlikely answer is that this area is prosperous in cultivating immortals. The foundation building is very low. Therefore, in the case of a small number of people, it is really not safe to use the foundation building and cultivation as a flying sword.

The carriage was much more than one, but a convoy. The convoy mainly transports people, but also some cargo. Of the more than thirty wagons in total, there were more than a dozen wagons.

After that, there are two more options.

One is to share the same carriage with others, or to charter the next carriage. Dongfang asked Lu Linlan by chance, and Lu Linlan chose the latter. Lu Linlan didn't make any choice for other things, and it was all handled by Dongfang by skill. But in this matter, Lu Linlan felt that it was better to choose.

Another option is the issue of eating. Meals are provided for the convoy. After registering and paying the fee, you can follow along. For this item, Dongfang Yiqiao didn't ask Lu Linlan, and directly chose to solve it by himself. This is because Dongfang Yiqiao knew that Lu Linlan had already opened the valley.

So, Dongfang Yiqiao brought a lot of dry food on the road.

――

In this way, after more than a month, the convoy changed several times, and Lu Linlan and Dongfang Yiqiao did not even finish half of the journey.

What happened on the road was just a little thing. It did not affect Lu Linlan and the others.

On this day, the team where Lu Linlan and the others belonged arrived at the end of the team: Laiyang City.

How far is Laiyang City from Shifang City? It is only 3,000 kilometers.

Three thousand kilometers is really not far away in the world of cultivating immortals. But it's a pity that after coming to Yangcheng, there is no public convoy.

Dongfang Yiqiao didn't think of taking a spaceship at all, but found a place to stay, and then went out all day to inquire if there were any other convoys going in the direction of Shifang City.

Lu Linlan saw it in her eyes, but she was not in a hurry in her heart. Because even if this is the case now, the things that Gong Yongyan confessed are still being handled. Lu Linlan did not take the initiative to delay time, and she had a clear conscience.

After a few days, Dongfang Yiqiao finally brought good news. It is said that there is a convoy of goods to go through Shifang City. And Dongfang Yiqiao has already contacted the team, and has also paid a deposit, and he can go on the road in the coming day.

When Lu Linlan heard this, she was also happy for Dongfang Yiqiao. This is because, in any case, this is the result of the ingenuity of the East.

――

This time, there was no separate carriage to wrap up.

Lu Linlan and Dongfang Yiqiao could only ride in the same carriage with others.

The space in the car is quite cramped. Not to mention crowding people, at least people are next to people.

What's more, it's actually a mix of men and women.

Well, Lu Linlan felt that as long as Dongfang could endure it with skill, he would definitely be able to endure it.

There were four of these wagons full of people. There were more than 20 horse-drawn carts loaded with goods. In addition, there were several horse-drawn wagons, which were loaded with miscellaneous items for the convoy's own use, including rice, flour, vegetables, and so on.

――

It's on the road.

Guests riding in the carriage began to talk.

"This eldest sister, look at the things you have brought with you, this is a relative, right?" The one who spoke was a middle-aged woman.

The person who was called the eldest sister by the middle-aged woman was naturally older at that age. But if it's an old woman, it's still almost. The man said, "Yes, I'm going to see my daughter." ā€

The woman who accosted her immediately asked, "It turns out that your daughter is in Shifang City, I don't know if she is from Shifang Palace?"

Lu Linlan felt that these unnutritious words were very boring. But if you say that it is stopped, there is no reason for it.

――

"Two Taoist friends are invited!"

As a result, Lu Linlan failed to escape. There was someone who accosted him, and he spoke directly to Lu Linlan and Dongfang Yiqiao.

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of going down," said the person who accosted you, "looking at your two cultivations, and riding in such a carriage, I guess you two must have wanted to find something to do in Shifang City, right?" If not, then it is a lot of disturbance, and I beg forgiveness. ā€

Dongfang Yiqiao couldn't hold back and responded, "How do you know? Can't we just go to relatives?"

Hearing Dongfang Yiqiao speak, Lu Linlan withdrew her attention from not knowing where to drift at this time. With the time-space method taught by Tao Nian, he traced the previous words slightly, and glanced at the person who was talking. Lu Linlan had a rough judgment in her heart.

The person who spoke to him, from the point of view of his handsomeness, looked very ordinary. But if you look at it from the perspective of gaining trust, this person should be considered superior. Look, the loyalty on that face is all written on the face. The heavenly court (that is, the forehead) is covered by hair, and it is not known whether it is full or not. But the width of the ground (i.e. the chin) is definitely square.

Speaking of square circle, whether it is square or round, it depends on what was said earlier. If this person looks resolute, it is Fang, and if this person looks loyal, or has a blessed face, it is Yuan. In short, it can't be a spine face.

By the way, vertebral face, usually means vitriol.

What is the approximate conclusion in Lu Linlan's heart?

It's possible to meet a scammer.

――

Is anyone who looks loyal a liar? Of course not.

Lu Linlan's initial observation found that this person looked loyal, and the content of his speech seemed to be loyal (if so...... If not...... There is no stalking), but the act of speaking itself is not loyal.

looks loyal, maybe it's natural, and you can't be the master yourself. But if the content of the speech seems to be loyal, you can call the shots. This clearly reinforces the sense of loyalty.

Look, the honest Dongfang is ingenious, didn't he respond?

Earlier, one woman accosted another. Based on the content of their conversation, it can be concluded that it was purely because of the loneliness of the journey and the desire to talk and pass the time.

And Lu Linlan and Dongfang Yiqiao are not suitable for being accosted. Why? Because of their gender and age. Unless you are a child and you are not sensible, you can.

And the loyal-looking man, male, looked to be in his thirties.

His gender and age are not suitable for accosting Lu Linlan and the others. But that's what he did.

Therefore, there is a certain possibility that he is a liar.
