Chapter 20: The Long Abyss
"When there was a famine at home and there was no food, my father and mother took them out to beg for a living, and they left their hometown." That's true.
Decades ago, there was a great famine in the state of Chen, and many people died, and many people left the country to seek a living in the rich Central Plains.
When Boss Bai heard this, he nodded in approval, and looked at what he said was reasonable and well-founded, and it should be true.
After coming and going to Chen Guo for so long, he naturally knew Chen Guo very well, and he had indeed heard that in a year there was a great famine, and people could not eat, and many people fled.
"It's much better now, it's not as difficult as it used to be. If we were still as poor as we used to be, we wouldn't have to do this business, no one could afford to buy it, and we would still be a business. ”
It's because the business in Chen Guo is okay and a little profitable, so I barely continue to do it, which is actually a subsistence business.
"Oh?! It seems that the monarch has a way! Blessed are the people! Ju Lingxue slapped her thigh excitedly, and then coughed violently, she turned her face and coughed for a while, saliva sprayed far away, and only stopped after a while.
"Why are you so excited? Slow down, if you die, I'll have to dig a pit for you to bury. Boss Bai glared at her in displeasure.
Ju Lingxue hurriedly apologized repeatedly: "Don't dare, don't dare to die, don't dare to die." ”
Boss Bai sneered again when he heard this, this bad old man is still weird and interesting.
"Actually, what you said is not unreasonable, it is indeed the court's good governance, but it has little to do with the monarch! I don't know if you have ever heard that Chen Guo has two pearls? ”
Boss Bai suddenly said meaningfully, staring at Ju Lingxue's eyes, refusing to let go of her expression at all.
That look was like a wolf's eyes, Ju Lingxue, feeling that if there was any change in herself, Boss Bai would instantly burst out and draw her knife at each other.
Behind Ju Lingxue, a cold sweat suddenly broke out, this white boss was a little terrifying, and his face changed as soon as he said it.
"Is it a fairy and a beautiful woman?" Ju Lingxue's voice was a little weaker, and there was a hint of shrinking.
Seeing that he was pretending to be fierce, Boss Bai successfully scared Ju Lingxue, and couldn't help but laugh again. The little eyes narrowed into slits, and the beard shook and shook.
The gourd-like head made Ju Lingxue can't help but want to slap him to death, what are you laughing at, what's so funny?!
"It seems that you really don't know that the two pearls of this Chen country are not talking about beautiful women."
"But what kind of precious thing?"
"It's a treasure indeed, but it's not a thing, it's a person."
"People? Two pearls? Two men? "Strange, why do you use pearls to describe men?
"Do you think the Fengshen General of the Wei State is a pearl?"
"Ah, what do you mean by that?" Ju Lingxue pretended to be unaware of the doubt, and the confusion on her face was true and credible.
Old man Bai couldn't help but touch his head, he was afraid that he was really nervous today, and he wanted to think about these things with an old man who didn't know anything.
"Chen Guo has two adults, an adult with the surname He for a long time, and an adult with the surname Pear. The relationship between the two is very good.
Because Lord He was praised as comparable to Ju Lingxue, the general of the wind god of Wei, he was called a pearl, and Lord Pear was close to Lord He since he was a child, and he was not willing to be left behind, so he called himself another pearl.
That's why Chen Guoshuangzhu said. ”
When did she become known as the pearl?
Why didn't she, the client, know about it?
Two men? Or double beads?
= =?
"I see! The pillars of the country, the luck of the people! What a gratifying congratulations! Ju Lingxue pretended to be convinced.
"Who's to say it isn't?" Boss Bai also said with envy. "Actually, let me tell you, if my father hadn't forcibly dragged me into business, otherwise I would have joined the army, maybe now I would have been mixed up with the name of a general."
"Boss Bai is the dragon and phoenix among people, no matter which line of work is definitely the best!" Ju Lingxue deliberately touted.
"Hahaha, you know how to pat my ass, come on, in five days, at most five days, and you will be in Chen Guo. Where shall I put you down? Boss Bai said kindly.
Ju Lingxue's heart "chuckled", she didn't know Chen Guo very well, and she didn't know what specific places there were.
If you just leave yourself at the border, it doesn't make sense, don't you know the name of your hometown?
Oops, it's going to be exposed! I didn't think of this stubble before, and I forgot about it.
Boss Bai's eyes changed from doubts to seriousness, and just when he was about to be suspicious, Ju Lingxue decided to make up a name in a hurry and fool the past.
"Long-term." Anyway, I don't know if it's true, just say one casually if there is a place.
It happened that Ermao passed by their side and shouted angrily at his partner in the distance: "Look at the horses!" ”
His momentum was enough to overpower Ju Lingxue's voice.
"Chang Yuan?" Boss Bai was interrupted by Ermao, frowned, and relied on Ju Lingxue's mouth shape to judge what she said.
"Alas, yes." It seems that there really is such a place? Long Abyss? The blind cat has run into a dead mouse.
Ju Lingxue felt her heart pounding, and her ears were a little hot.
"Tsk, that place hasn't been very peaceful lately!" Boss Bai suddenly remembered something, and his face turned green.
Ju Lingxue doesn't care if it's too peaceful, let's fool around first, at least there is this place.
"When I was a child, my father and mother died early, and I don't remember it very clearly, I just remember this name, and I still lived in the countryside at that time, a mud house in the countryside."
"Oh! Listen to my advice, just look outside, don't go inside, I heard that the place is haunted, and you can't go easily. ”
"Huh? Haunted? ”
"Yes, I've heard that quite a few people have died. Boss Bai looked respectful and insensitive.
Ju Lingxue muttered in her heart, anyway, it's just a place to talk nonsense, so let's talk about it if I can't remember it when the time comes.
"Hasn't this government been in charge of it yet?"
"What are you asking? Where can the government manage this ghostly matter? With a slight sigh, Boss Bai seemed to feel that he had said too much, and his interest faded, so he didn't want to say any more.
He stood up and walked in the direction of the carriage, he wanted to go into the carriage and sleep for a while, he was too tired to travel!
It's no wonder that those of them who are driving are most afraid of what they encounter on the road, and some of them often have to offer incense and worship in places where accidents often occur, and they all believe in this.
Ju Lingxue understood and talked about this unlucky.
