Lu Qingyu's addition did not attract much attention from the caravan, after all, it was just a small porter.

No one cares whether a porter can pick up 500 catties or 5,000 catties.

Lin Dabiao still circled Lin Daier's carriage as always, while Lin Daier still stayed in the carriage to take care of her grandfather.

The two men didn't even notice that their caravan had welcomed a teenager who was about to change their fate.

Due to the mountainous terrain of Ruijin, horse-drawn carriages could not travel smoothly, so most caravans would hire some porters to undertake the transportation of some ordinary goods.

And the Lin family's caravan hired more than 20 porters at one time this time, and each of them promised a very generous reward, which was already a big investment for the Lin family, a business family that was not too big.

Among the more than 20 porters, most of them only bear more than 200 catties of goods, and the salary is relatively average, only Lu Qingyu and the other two young people have different burdens, which are obviously much heavier than others, and the remuneration is naturally much higher than others.

These two young people were none other than the two young men named Ma Xu and Leng Yi who had been reprimanded by Lin Dabiao in Red Maple City.

Because of the difference in the burdens of the three people, an invisible film was formed between them and ordinary porters, and these three people naturally came together.

Through half a day of contact, Lu Qingyu generally has a certain understanding of these two young people.

Ma Xu, who is just twenty years old, is a warm-hearted person who smiles all day long. Don't look at his age, but he already has the strength of the second-level intermediate level, so he can pick up the burden of more than three hundred catties and hurry. In addition, what this guy does is to find someone to chat and joke, regardless of whether the other party is familiar with him or not.

And the other one named Leng Yi is as his name suggests, not only has a cold face all day long, but also puts on a look that is not pleasing to anyone, especially in front of Lu Qingyu, this kid's expression is even more bitter and hateful, and only when he talks to Ma Xu, this guy will be a little more normal.

However, this Leng Yi does have some cold capital, because although he is about the same age as Ma Xu, he has already picked up a full four hundred catties of burden, and he is already the closest person to Lu Qingyu in the entire team.

But it's just close, whenever he sees Lu Qingyu wandering around with five hundred catties, Leng Yi's lips will be tightly pursed, and a taste called unconvincing can't be dissolved in his eyes.

Later, after an introduction by the talkative Ma Xu, Lu Qingyu learned some of the hidden secrets.

It turned out that the Lin family was a branch of a large family in the Ruijin Business Alliance, and the previous generations were all famous businessmen in Ruijin.

It was only passed on to Lin Dai'er's father's generation, but the descendants of the Lin family began to become more and more unsuccessful, and the huge family business also appeared to have no successors.

However, although there are a lot of long-term concerns, relying on the relationship of the ancestors, the Lin family is still barely able to maintain a prosperous situation.

But if Lin Chuancai, the head of the Lin family, that is, Lin Dai'er's grandfather, leaves the west, then the fall of the Lin family will become inevitable, and it is precisely because of this that in recent years, Lin Chuancai will take his smartest and most beloved granddaughter with him, counting on her little girl to be able to carry the burden of the family in the future.

And Leng Yi's ancestor is also a member of the Shang Alliance, and he still has some connections with the Lin family, but because of the family's decline a few years ago, he came to join the Lin family.

However, because there was a villain like Lin Dabiao in the middle, and Leng Yi didn't want to eat the food that came from him, he volunteered to be a small porter in the caravan.

After listening to Ma Xu's introduction, Lu Qingyu scratched his chin with a smile and said in a low voice:

"I see, but according to my observation, Leng Yi is not a character who is willing to live under others for a long time, and this kid's eyes when he looks at Miss Lin's carriage are not normal!"

As soon as Ma Xu heard this, he immediately stabbed Lu Qingyu's waist with a smile, covered his mouth and said with a smile:

"You guy, your eyes are quite thief! That's right, when Leng Yi came to the Lin family, when he saw Miss Dai'er for the first time, he was shocked, and the admiration in his heart was like a surging river, endless! Don't look at that kid's cold appearance, in fact, I don't know how many times I made a bloody oath in front of me in private, saying that Miss Dai'er would not marry in this life! ”

"Well, it turns out that this kid is still a seed of infatuation, I can't see it, it's really cold-hearted!" Lu Qingyu glanced at Leng Yi who was not far away and quipped.

Ma Xu chuckled and said in a low voice:

"! If you want me to say, this kid is sullen! ”

"Ma Xu, what are you muttering nonsense about, are you talking bad about me again, I know it's not good when I look at your thief!" Out of the corner of Leng Yi's eyes, he caught a glimpse of Ma Xu's snickering appearance, and suddenly walked over with a cold face.

Seeing this, Ma Xu hurriedly put on a serious appearance and said loudly to Lu Qingyu:

"Ha, nothing, nothing! Brother Qingyu, I think it's really good today's weather, and it's the most suitable for carrying the burden and hurrying! You say, yes! ”

Lu Qingyu looked up at the cloudy sky, casually ripped off a dead leaf that had been blown off by the strong wind from his head, and replied in the same seriousness:

"Well, what the elder brother said is right, the younger brother thinks so!"

"Haha, Brother Qingyu is such a wonderful person!" Ma Xu looked at Lu Qingyu's face, which was more determined and serious than himself, and suddenly blinked and laughed.

Leng Yi snorted lightly in his mouth, and he didn't bother with Ma Xu, but when he looked at Lu Qingyu, the corners of his eyes twitched a few times without a trace.

When the convoy set off from Red Maple City in the morning, it was still a good blue sky, but after a few hours of walking, when the convoy left the boundary of Red Maple City and officially set foot on the territory of Ruijin Kingdom, the weather suddenly became bad.

The sky was covered with large dark clouds that drifted from nowhere, and the wind was like a reckless uninvited guest, suddenly coming, bringing down a large number of dead leaves, and the sky and the earth were bleak, and the cold autumn mood came unexpectedly.

Due to its dry climate and numerous volcanoes, the Flame Country rarely experiences any rainy weather throughout the year, but unlike the Ruijin Country, it is not uncommon for weather to change like this here.

As an old merchant who has been doing business all year round, the Lin family caravan has obviously taken precautions against this kind of weather for a long time, not only quickly distributing hats and oilcloths to each member of the caravan to cover the goods, but even giving a few pots of warm soju to dispel the cold.

In the porter team, Huang San sent out three pots of wine, two of which were given to ordinary porters, and Lu Qingyu and the other three shared another pot.
