"Ben Gongzi will come to you again." This was the last sentence left by Ning Xiang Gongzi before leaving.

Yu Fengzi's expression was very ugly, this was the first time he had been in the rivers and lakes for so long, the first time he was so ugly, he used to think that he was a master among the masters, but today's continuous appearance of people and things made Yu Fengzi question whether he was outdated when he lived in seclusion for many years and a half, and only came out to take over the business when he had no money.

Lu Long was in no mood to comfort anything, he was forcibly dragged out of the bed, he didn't lose his temper, and he was already recuperating from Lu Man.

The calmness of the long road made the group even more jealous: "I'm afraid the girl of the main family is really not an ordinary person, so why does she want us to protect her." ”

"I'm afraid it's for the sake of safety, after all, two fists are hard to beat four hands, we have to be more careful in the back, we can't be as passive as today, I have a brother who is very well-informed on the rivers and lakes, or I ask my brother, this way to Beishan County, will there be any special people and things in the places passing by, let's avoid it in advance." An elegant man opened his mouth and said, this is the first time he has spoken, his reclusive identity is a rural teacher, this time if it is not for his son is seriously ill and needs 1,000 taels of ginseng to treat the disease, he will not come out again.

It was rare that Yu Fengzi did not speak, originally according to the rules, the route of the main family could not be known, but now it has only been four days since they set off, and they have already encountered so many things, although with their strength, even if they destroy a group of hundreds of mountain bandits, it is not a problem, but if they encounter a force like Purgatory Valley, they really can't resist.

Or the medicine lady said very calmly: "Don't be so troublesome, don't you see that the girl of the main family knows a lot more than we know?" Presumably her news is very well-informed, along the way with her family members who don't know martial arts and patients who need to be treated, the main girl wants to be safe more than us, and I can also see that the main girl invited us, really just let us be guards, those people and things that obviously we can't solve, the main girl has taken over, so I advise you, let's just listen to the instructions of the main girl with peace of mind, and the rest of the things, do less and make fewer mistakes. ”

Yu Fengzi thought about it for a while, whether it was the poison of the Ao brothers, or being targeted by the people of Purgatory Valley today, it was all the girl of the main family who came forward to do it, and thought that although Lu Long was cold, there was still a trace of kindness, so he acquiesced to the medicine lady's statement, after all, they are guards, and there is nothing wrong with listening to the arrangement of the main family.

Lu Long returned to the room, and the first thing he did was to summon her bird and send a message to the people of Tieji Mountain, this area is probably the old nest of Purgatory Valley, so let the dark pile near here be careful.

On the second day, Lu Manman asked Xiuyuan to give the shopkeeper two hundred taels of silver, and the shopkeeper even said that he didn't need so much, "If there is more, it should be for you to be shocked." ”

Lu Manman's group set foot on the road to Beishan County again, and they could have remade a detour back to the original road, but Lu Manman was worried that the old nest of Purgatory Valley was on the same road, so he would rather walk for a few more days and would not have anything to do with the people of Purgatory Valley.

When Xiu Yuan heard that those people were from Purgatory Valley, he didn't sleep all night, if it weren't for the people of Purgatory Valley, they wouldn't have become the people who spread the epidemic, although they were stopped by Lu Manman in the end, but many people still died, which made Xiu Yuan, who had always been simple-minded, feel guilty, and this time those people in Purgatory Valley even stared at Lu Manman, so Xiu Yuan also secretly and anonymously wrote a letter to the government, telling him that Purgatory Valley was likely to be in this area, so that the people of the imperial court would clean up these people.

By the time Lu Manman knew that Xiu Yuan had done this stupid thing, it was already a few days later, but Lu Manman didn't blame him, he just asked Xiu Yuan if he had left any flaws, and was ready to let the hidden stakes of Tieji Mountain give Xiu Yuan the aftermath to confuse the public, if the people in Purgatory Valley found out and the letter was sent by that town, I am afraid that none of the people in that town would survive.

"Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, I write with my left hand, and it's your bird who sent the letter." Xiu Yuan looked like he was begging for praise.

"Can you call that stupid bird of mine?" I was a little surprised by the long way to go.

"That, that is, when you are not at home, your bird has always been fed by me, I am familiar with it, I believe that I sent it to the captain of the fifty percent of the soldiers and horses in the capital, that person is a brother I know, he will not betray me, and I am giving him a chance to make meritorious contributions."

"Yo, I can't see it, I haven't seen you for a month, and you're actually familiar with fifty percent of the people in the Soldiers and Horses." The road is long, and I really can't believe that a person with a temperament like Xiuyuan can still have brothers.

"Isn't that what you asked me to do to help you check the Lu family? I'm a foreigner, of course, I have to deal with the head snake of the land, and he inherited his father's official position. ”

"I really didn't see that you are so capable, well, I underestimated you, it seems that this girl is not only your creditor, but also your benefactor, you look at the time you have followed this girl, completely reborn."

"Can it not be reborn? Otherwise, you will swallow it and there will be no scum left. Xiu Yuan muttered quietly, if he didn't help Lu Manman do things beautifully, he believed that Lu Manman would definitely toss him to death, in order to be less oppressed, so he had to be angry and become Lu Manman's right-hand man, so that he would not be oppressed.

It's a pity that Xiuyuan doesn't know, the more capable people are, the more they will be bullied, I don't know if Xiuyuan, who thinks that he will be less bullied when he becomes capable, knows this truth, and will regret that he is smart.

Beishan County is close to Chidori, so the further you go to Beishan County, the stronger the atmosphere of the border pass, and the more fierce the folk customs become.

On this day, the road is long, and the group finally arrived at the hottest place in Haoyue Country, Xile City, where the weather is hot and the water source is scarce, almost all of them rely on trade with the people of the Thousand Bird Country to make a living, and the farmers can only grow some fruits such as watermelons in these places, and if they are sold, they are only enough for the family to barely eat, after all, the rice shops here are all shipped from other places, and the price is twice as expensive as other places. And because the climate here is harsh, which is not conducive to farming, many people who are not extremely vicious have been sent here to work in the wasteland.

The weather is too hot, the power of the autumn tiger is still leveraged, the road is long, as soon as they entered Xile City, they quickly found the best inn to live and rest, elsewhere, a bucket of bath water, are all in the hotel, and here, even if you have to make an appointment, even if you have money, you may not be able to take a bath immediately.

Grape looked at the long and uncomfortable appearance of the road, and hurriedly went to find Xiuyuan, the big housekeeper: "Butler Xiu, Miss wants bath water, you go and ask, is there anyone who is willing to let Miss use it first, and you can add money." ”

As soon as Xiu Yuan heard this, he knew that the road was long and he had endured it to the limit, so he hurriedly stopped queuing, and directly took ten taels of silver to Xiao Er: "Little second brother, please ask, is there anyone willing to give up the water, and how much to add is not a problem." ”

Just by asking questions, you can get ten taels of silver, and no matter how tricky the little two are, they have become hospitable: "Okay, wait a minute, the villain will ask immediately." ”

Xiao Er quickly arrived at the place where the kitchen was specially boiled water, and hurriedly asked the steward of boiling water: "Second steward, some guests asked, can you use water first, and you are willing to add money, as much as you want." ”

But Xiao Erlai took a step slower, the water boiled in front of him has been carried away, and now the water is no longer enough, and the person who delivers the water has to come in the afternoon, but both of them are reluctant to add money, you must know that the people who come here to live in the hotel are not rich or expensive, and they have not done less to add money to boil water, but they have made a lot of money.

The second steward rolled his eyes and said: "In this way, I will boil the rest of the water first, you hurry up to the street market, buy the water for drinking, buy a little more, let's put the water into this boiling water, it is not enough for a bucket of bath water, anyway, the guests don't care about the money, when the time comes, let's report the more expensive water, and add some money, it's better than not making money." ”

Xiao Er immediately thought of his two brothers and sisters in the same village, they also come to sell water every day, the water they drink and the water they use, the price is completely different, the water used is transported from the river far away, and the water is quantitative, after all, the water in the river must be guaranteed to meet the irrigation needs of the melon farmers, otherwise these melon farmers will not survive.

The water for the two brothers and sisters is from the well that is dozens of meters deep, only enough to drink, and the water of the two brothers and sisters is from the well that their family has dried up, and their two parents are dead, and the rest of the relatives don't care about them at all, and they want to take their houses and melon fields, but fortunately, the village chief can't stand it anymore, and awarded the well to their brothers and sisters, at least so that the brothers and sisters can sell water to make a living.

So every day, the dog picked up two buckets of water, and the younger sister kept the tail by the well to prevent anyone from stealing the water.

The well water of the dog's house is a hundred years old, no one has taken care of it, so the water is slowly getting less and less, so although the water of the dog is sweet and clear, it is more expensive than the average person, and the people who want to buy water to drink in the city are of course not willing to spend more money, only those passing merchants will buy some zero, so every day others sell out of water early, and the dog egg has to wait until it is almost dark to sell out the water sold out.

Xiao Er hurriedly took out a few pennies, asked another Xiao Er to take care of the work for him, and hurriedly went to the street, and saw the dog sitting in the sun selling water with a blank face from a distance, even if his mouth was dry, he was reluctant to take a sip.

"Dog, quick, jump into the water and follow me." Xiao Er hurriedly shouted.

"Brother Da Niu, do you want to buy my water at the inn?" When Goudan saw Xiao Er, his eyes lit up.

The dog is not tall, but the two buckets are not small, two buckets, obviously there is more than half of the water, "There is a guest, urgent water, the person who delivered the water has not yet come, no, I want to buy your water, for the guest, I thought of you, so that you can go home early." ”

"But this is the water to drink, it will be much more expensive than the water used, won't the guests be angry?" The dog was a little hesitant, after all, his water could not be sold cheaply, otherwise he and his sister would be hungry.

Xiao Er whispered: "That guest is rich, just let me pass on a word, and he gave me a piece of silver, and he will care about your little money, come with me." ”

Hearing that the guest was very rich and willing to spend this money, the burden on the dog's heart was gone, and he hurriedly carried the water and followed Xiao Er.

The other people who sell water are envious, and it is good to have acquaintances.

When Xiao Er brought the dog egg in through the back door, the water in the pot was just boiling, Xiao Er hurriedly scooped the water out, plus the water brought by the dog egg, a whole five buckets, just enough for a bucket of bath water.

Xiao Er hurriedly brought the water to Xiuyuan upstairs, and saw Xiuyuan who was opening the door to breathe through the cool and gnawing on watermelon, and hurriedly said: "Guest officer, the water was sent to you, you see where it was sent, there is no water in the boiling water room, this water is bought from the small water sold on the street, the price is relatively expensive, thinking that the guests are in a hurry, so I didn't ask you, you see?" ”

Xiuyuan knew that the road was long and extravagant, and it was like a loser, after all, the person who bought a warehouse of silk and satin was stacked with it, and expected her to endure sweating? Not to mention the water to eat, even if it is the elixir and jade liquid, it can be used by Lu Manman for bathing, and Lu Manman will not hesitate to buy it.

"The price is not a problem, just put it here, and we will provide the water ourselves." After speaking, he found out ten taels, "Since there is water to buy, there are more female dependents in our group, so you can run a few more times, buy some water, and give it to the female dependents first, and then give it to us." ”

Xiao Er's face was about to laugh, and he hurriedly bowed, "Hey, the little one will do it immediately, it just so happens that the water used now has not been delivered, and the boiling water room can only be used by you first." ”

Xiao Er mentioned the rest of the water to the corridor, and was mentioned by Mrs. Ding to the room with a long road, "Manman, the water is boiled, you can use it first, Xiu Boy, I have already asked people to buy water, we can also wash it well later, this kid is still a little useful." ”

Wen's way, directly tired and paralyzed, as soon as he arrived at the inn, he slept dimly, grapes and Yu Pozi were also tired, Lu Mingxuan was okay, after all, he was a person who went far away, this bit of suffering can still be eaten, Lu Changman was actually tired and panicked, but if he didn't take a bath, he couldn't sleep.

"Dog, don't say that my brother doesn't take care of you, there are more than a dozen female dependents accompanying the distinguished guest, and there are more than a dozen guards, they all want water, and now my brother will hand over the matter of buying water to you, you can make a little difference, don't be afraid of too much water, I'm afraid that there is not enough water, my brother still has to work, you can't run outside, you have to hurry, you can't mess up this matter for me."
