Chapter 41 This is a grace

In the early spring, everything comes back to life, and the trees on both sides of the road are all dressed in a faint layer of green, and the small shoots are absorbing the sunlight and trying to stretch their waists.

On the road, you can sometimes see cars, horses and pedestrians passing.

One of the hunters carried a few recently caught furs, singing a loud mountain song, as he walked to the town of Gujing, a few miles away.

"The old hunter, stretching his bow, hunting wild boars, hunting brown bears, outside the vast wild grass spring mountain, winding the head of the creek ......"

The song came far away, echoing in the mountains and forests, startling a flock of forest birds to fly away from the branches and disappear into the sky.

Halfway through the song, it came to an abrupt halt without warning, and the hunter who sang the song stopped stiffly halfway. He slowly moved his neck and looked at the sword blade on his neck, which was as smooth as a mirror and glowed with blue light, reflecting his stunned expression on it, which showed that the sword was of excellent quality.

Did you meet a robber who was robbing the road?

Who but a robber would embarrass such an ordinary hunter as him.

Orion wanted to move his body, away from the aggressive blade, and by the way to see who the person behind him was, but as soon as he moved, he immediately attracted a reprimand from the person behind him: "Don't move." ”

"Okay, I'll just not move. If you are short of money to spend, these few pieces of fur on my body are worth two small coins, and you can take them as much as you want, and you should be honored with honor. "Orion just met a robber, and pleaded as a matter of course.

"I'm not interested in your fur, I just wanted you to run an errand for me. If you're willing to help, I'll pay you a commission. The person behind him said.

"It's easy, just say what you want."

"I have a letter here. You take it. Send it to the house of the Cao family, a brewing family in Gujing Town, for me. The man behind him said as he handed over the previous envelope. The seal is pasted with red sealing mud, and the front is written with the words "Cao Xuan Qinqi".

"Okay, I'll deliver it." Orion took the envelope, glanced at the hand holding the letter, and found that the skin was smooth, slightly calloused, and it was the hand of a young man.

"It's a small ingot of silver, which counts as your errand fee. After you deliver the letter, the Cao family should give you another reward, and the money you earn from this leg trip is definitely more than what you earn in a year of hunting. The man behind him held a silver ingot between his fingers.

"And this kind of good thing?" Orion took it in disbelief, and weighed the amount of it as it was enough to buy all the fur on him.

"There are really not many good things like this, you are lucky today, and I will teach you to run into it." The man behind him withdrew the blade and nudged Orion, "Alright." You hit the road. Remember to make sure to deliver the letter if something goes wrong. I'm sure I'll find you again. ”

"I'll do it, don't worry." Orion repeatedly assured that he was on the road according to his words, and at first he walked very slowly, and when he saw that there was no movement behind him, he slowed down. After walking a distance, he quietly glanced back, and found that half of the figure behind him was gone, and he didn't know where the person he was talking to had gone.

Orion himself is also a practitioner, he knows a few superficial skills, understands some things on the rivers and lakes, and guesses that the person who finds him today is a real master. This kind of master is elusive and extremely difficult to mess with. He couldn't help but secretly wipe his sweat, didn't dare to play any tricks, and decided to obediently send the letter to Cao's mansion.

The road was calm, and Orion successfully delivered the letter to Cao's mansion, and handed it to the servant in the hall.

The servant took the letter and left the hall.

Orion waited in the hall for a moment, and suddenly saw a tall and mighty bald man turn out of the back door, and behind him he led a large group of people who were in a hurry, as if they had encountered some great emergency. Orion grew up in Gujing Town and recognized the bald man as Cao Xuan, the head of the Cao family. When he saw Cao Xuan's fierce face, he was frightened.

"Who gave you this letter?" Cao Xuan asked with a pair of ringed eyes.

"The little one doesn't know, the little one doesn't know it, the little one doesn't see his face at all." Orion shuddered with fright, and explained everything that had just happened.

"So that's what happened, it seems that the person who wrote the letter didn't want to show his true face." After Cao Xuan heard this, he waved his hand, "Take him down first, and then send him down after I come back." ”

When Orion heard that he was going to lock himself up, he waved his hands in fright, claiming that he was only threatened and had nothing to do with the matter, but no one listened to him at all, and he was still forcibly taken down.

Although there are few Chinese characters in that letter, it is indeed a hundred thousand urgent things to write, and it is related to the imperial wine that the Cao family lost today.

Cao Xuan led the elite of the family to leave the mansion together, and in different ways, hurried to the location indicated in the letter. Cao Xuan and the two family masters hurried with light skills, as if they were flying clouds and mist, high and high in the sky above Gujing Town. The rest of the people who were not good at cultivation rode their horses and whipped away those who stood in their way, leaving a trail of smoke and dust on the road.

Cao Xuan was the fastest, and it didn't take long for the rest of the family to be left behind, and he left Gujing Town first, heading straight to a cemetery in the southeast of the town.

Where there are people, there are dead people, and where there are dead people, there are cemeteries, and Gujing Town is naturally no exception.

Cao Xuan arrived at the cemetery as fast as he could, searched in several mountain rooms scattered all over the graves, and soon found a large number of wine jars behind a hillside, these wine jars were too familiar to him, and it was the imperial wine that the Cao family had lost for a few days.

"The person who wrote the letter claimed to have found the sake for me and placed it in the cemetery in the southeast, I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Cao Xuan's heart was ecstatic, so excited that he almost lost his mind, and jumped to the vicinity of the jar pile with an arrow step, grabbed a wine jar from it, and ripped the lid open.

A smell of wine erupted from it, and this smell was too familiar to Cao Xuan.

Cao Xuan's dead eyes bloomed with hope again in the past few days, and he tilted his neck and poured a large sip of wine. When the wine enters the stomach, it is the taste of the imperial wine from the hands of the Cao family, and there is no need to have any doubts.

"Haha, it's really my family's lost imperial sake !!" Cao Xuan looked up to the sky and laughed wildly, and tears appeared in the corners of his eyes.

It's no wonder that he is so excited, the loss of imperial wine is a serious crime, and the court can investigate it big or small, if he angers the emperor, he may even end up beheaded. If you find these imperial wines, you can avoid a catastrophe and save the Cao family.

After Cao Xuan laughed wildly for a while, he checked in place and found that there were only sixty-eight jars left of the imperial wine, five jars less than before. This has already been mentioned in the letter, and the writer states that he has taken five of the jars of imperial wine as a painstaking expense for himself to retrieve the imperial wine.

Although the five jars of imperial wine are precious, they are nothing compared to this kindness, let alone five jars, even if the writer takes away thirty jars of imperial wine, Cao Xuan will not have the slightest complaint, which is what the other party deserves.

Cao Xuan is a straightforward person, and he has always acted with clear grievances, and this time someone found the imperial wine for the Cao family, which is a great kindness, and he is full of gushing gratitude to this person. It's a pity that there was no signature left in the letter, hiding the true identity, and I don't know who this benefactor's surname is and which side of the hero he is.

Cao Xuan looked around, there was nothing around except for the sparse graves, and this benefactor may have been nearby, or he may have long since left. The gratitude in his chest had nowhere to vent, and he naturally knelt on the ground, to whom he had not knelt for a long time in his current capacity.

"Benefactor! I don't know who you are or if you're around, but I want to say thank you anyway! Cao Xuan slammed his bald head down as he spoke, his head slammed to the ground, and he smashed a stone with hard kung fu, and his head also left a trace of dust. He didn't know where his benefactor was, so he simply bowed four times in a row, and bowed in all four directions.

"Benefactor! This time, you found the imperial wine for the Cao family, and this kindness and virtue cannot be repaid. Although the Cao family is just a winemaking family, they are as light as a feather in the martial arts and have no status, but if you have anything to do in the future, please feel free to speak! No matter whether you go up the knife mountain or go down to the sea of fire, my Cao family will never frown! Cao Xuan clasped his hands into fists and shouted loudly to the empty surroundings, and the voice came far away and gradually disappeared.

Cao Xuan is really grateful to this benefactor now, if this benefactor comes out now and asks him to do something, he will definitely go to the soup and do nothing.

It's a pity that the surroundings are calm and quiet, and there is no response.

Cao Xuan's heart fluctuated, and it was difficult to calm down for a long time, but he stopped yelling, stayed in place and guarded these lost and recovered imperial wines, and couldn't wait to move them all home now.

After a while, the rest of the Cao family also rushed to this place one after another, and after seeing the imperial wine in the cemetery, they all smiled, and they almost sang and danced in this cemetery. These people asked who helped the Cao family find the imperial wine, but Cao Xuan himself didn't know, and he couldn't answer, but he told the clansmen again and again not to forget this kindness, and everyone promised to do so.

Under Cao Xuan's abbot, all the sixty-eight jars of imperial wine in the cemetery were loaded into a carriage and safely transported back to Gujing Town.

Although Orion was just running errands to deliver letters, it was also a great achievement, and Cao Xuan couldn't find a real benefactor, so he rewarded Orion with a large sum of money.

At first, the hunter thought he was in trouble, but now he was rewarded with a large sum of money far beyond his imagination, and he felt that everything was like a dream, and he could not believe that it was true.

As the saying goes, eating a trench grows a wisdom, the Cao family lost the imperial wine this time, suffered a big loss, and learned a lesson. Cao Xuan, the head of the family, gathered his family on the same day to reflect on the matter and discuss a more secure way to store wine. Brainstorming and coming up with a variety of ideas, they couldn't come up with a plan in a short period of time.

The Cao family's imperial wine was recovered, and how to keep the imperial wine after that, there is no need to go into detail, and the matter is over. (To be continued......)
