Li Jin and the others took a few days in the farmer's house, during the day, Chen Chuchu and Li Jin used each other's exercises to heal their injuries as soon as they were free, and at night they turned the dragon and the phoenix upside down, and this day was also quite sweet.
In the past few days, Li Jin has been refining the internal force of the **** Wanqing in the body, and his martial arts have made great progress. But although Li Jin has a strong internal force, he can't do external skills at all, Chen Chuchu and Lu Yi also discovered him, so they decided to teach him external skills, and took turns to supervise them every day.
Chen Chuchu felt that Li Jin, a big man, should learn some masculine martial arts, so she was going to teach him some martial arts that reflected a man's masculinity, such as fist and palm techniques.
At first, Li Jin thought that the practice was cool and interesting, but after a long time, he complained bitterly. It's not an excuse to go to the toilet and not come out, or it's a mess with the people who supervise him, anyway, how to be lazy and how to come, so that the women are helpless.
After a few days like this, Li Jin's residual toxins were cleared, and Chen Chuchu's body was almost conditioned.
At first, I stayed here because two people were unwell and had difficulty moving. Now that the two of them had recovered, they decided to leave, after all, this place was not too far from the Medicine King Valley, and the people who were chasing them were likely to come to the door, so they decided to leave the next morning after discussing it and go to Jiangcheng where Li Jin was staying for the time being.
The next morning, everyone got up early, asked the farmer to help rent a carriage, said goodbye to the farmer and his wife, and went on the road.
Since none of the four had ever walked this road, the four of them asked questions as they went, and only walked a little way through the evening.
Fortunately, they arrived in a small town before dark and prepared to spend the night at the inn.
Business at the inn seems to be particularly busy today, with a lot of horses and carriages for guests outside the door, and they are the last ones to stay in.
It is said that the inn is the most well-informed place in the rivers and lakes, and that is because the inn has a large flow of people every day, and it is mixed, and almost everyone of any identity can see it.
When Li Jin and his entourage walked into the hall, they saw a sea of people in the hall, including businessmen running businessmen, chivalrous people from the rivers and lakes, and even officials on errands.
The shopkeeper took Li Jin and his party up to the second floor and stayed in a guest room near the staircase.
After having dinner in the guest room, Chen Chuchu felt bored and asked the shopkeeper if there was anything interesting in the town.
It seems that shopping is a common hobby for all women, regardless of age or era. No, Chen Chuchu heard that the shopkeeper said that there was a night market in the town that was very lively, and he was so excited that he had to take everyone to go shopping together.
Li Jin, who was tired from a long day's travel, planned to lie in bed and take a good rest and not go with them, but Chen Chuchu said that they had to take Li Jin to go shopping because they had to carry things without hard labor.
Seeing Chen Chuchu putting on a touching look, Li Jin had no choice but to agree.
According to the instructions of the shopkeeper, the group soon came to the street where the night market was placed.
Originally, the street was not wide, so only two horse-drawn carriages were allowed to pass side by side, but now there are stalls on both sides, making the already small street crowded.
But this did not affect the mood of the women shopping, especially Bauhinia, who was already young, had never seen so many interesting things, look at this, touch that, and play like a child for a while.
The three women had a lot of fun, but they could make Li Jin, who was carrying things, miserable, and the big bags on his body really became hard labor.
Just when the women were shopping, there was finally a stall in the night market that aroused Li Jin's interest, this stall is more special, because this stall sells people.
"Wait a minute." Li Jin, who was following behind the third girl, said loudly.
"Xianggong, what's wrong?" Chen Chuchu asked.
"Chu Chu, what is this stall selling?" Li Jin pointed to the traffickers' stalls.
Before Chu Chu could speak, the trafficker saw that Li Jin seemed to be interested in these slaves, and took the initiative to say attentively: "This son will pick one, he has great strength and can work, and everyone is very obedient." ā
Li Jin ignored the trafficker and whispered to Chen Chuchu: "Aren't they afraid of being arrested by the government if they resell people like this?" ā
Chen Chuchu sighed, "Hey, this remote town, far away from the imperial capital, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, how can anyone care." Besides, now that the country is suffering from internal and external troubles, many people can't get enough to eat, and some people are directly willing to be slaves, at least there is a mouthful of food to eat. ā
Li Jin looked at this group of slaves thoughtfully, his eyes full of pity. But his strength alone is always limited, and he can't help so many people in the world, so he can only lament powerlessly.
"Childe, pick one, it's very cheap." Seeing that Li Jin had stood here for a long time and hadn't left, the trafficker felt that Li Jin wanted to buy it, so he eagerly persuaded him.
After the traffickers said this, the group of slaves who were originally depressed also began to cry and shout for Li Jin to take them away, and this scene was extremely uncomfortable in Li Jin's eyes.
Just when Li Jin gritted his teeth and decided to leave, a slave suddenly caught his attention. It was a man with half of his face covered by his long, messy hair, and he sat there the whole time, not arguing with others, and what really attracted Li Jin was his eyes that were still bright and shining in the mud.
Li Jin didn't know why, looking at him, he felt that he must not be a mortal, and he still had a sense of déjà vu. I immediately made up my mind to buy him.
But he didn't have any money, and all he spent along the way was Chen Chuchu's money. So he could only look at Chen Chuchu with pleading eyes.
Chen Chuchu, who understood it, said wisely: "You are the head of the family, listen to you." ā
"Boss, I want that." Li Jin pointed at the man and said.
"Okay, Childe really has a good eye, he seems to have been a soldier before, and his physique is the best of all." As he spoke, the trafficker went to untie the rope that was tied to the man's feet.
Then Chen Chuchu obediently paid.
Now that there are suddenly such a slave, naturally they can't go any further, so everyone decides to go back.
Although the three daughters didn't know why Xianggong bought a slave, they all surprisingly didn't ask much. Maybe it was Chen Chuchu's sentence that the head of the family played a role.
That's right, a family is still up to a man.
On the way back, Li Jin secretly made a decision. After returning to Jiangcheng, he has to think about making money, it's not that he doesn't want to eat soft rice and rely on women to support him, but now he is no longer alone, there are so many more people around him, and there will be even more in the future.
When he returned to the inn, the shopkeeper didn't want the slave to enter the store, but he gave a little extra tip to bring the person in.
Fortunately, the room at the inn is an ensuite, two inside and outside.
Li Jin asked the shopkeeper to prepare the bathing things and put them outside, and personally bathed the slave man.
The slave man, who had finished bathing, put on new clothes that had been bought for him and shaved his beard.
The women came out of the inner room, and at first glance, the slave man felt that he had a trace of heroism on the battlefield.
"Thank you, master." After the slave man finished tidying up, he knelt on the ground and said.
Li Jin immediately helped it up and said, "You don't have to call me master, from now on, you are a free body, and you and I are on equal footing." ā
The slave man was stunned for a moment, thinking that Li Jin didn't want others to call him master, so he immediately changed his words: "Yes, young master." ā
The young master is the young master, Li Jin didn't care about it, and then asked, "What's your name?" ā
"Back to the young master, I don't have a name."
"And what did you do before you became a slave?" Li Jin continued to ask.
"I ...... I don't remember. ā
After hearing this, Chen Chuchu's brows moved, and then he took a red thread, flicked his index finger, and the red thread swished and wrapped around the slave man's hand.
When everyone saw Chen Chuchu taking his pulse, they were all watching silently.
After a while, Chen Chuchu put away the red line and said, "His brain should have been severely injured, there was bruising, and he had amnesia." ā
"Amnesia?" Li Jin frowned. "Okay, then let's call you Li Mu for the time being, and then change the name back when you remember everything later."
