Chapter 440: The cunning old king

(The time and place of the following events are adapted from the plot, please do not sit in a match with the real history.) )

After Lu Yu went down the mountain, he walked south along a small road, there were farmland on both sides of the road, he didn't go far, he saw a small village not far away, he inquired about it, the nearest city from here is Zaozhuang, but Zaozhuang is the county seat, after hearing that Lu Yu wanted to go to Shanghai, the chief of the village told him that he had to go south and go to Xuzhou, only there was a train.

It's just that there are still more than 100 miles away from Xuzhou, and if you walk over, it will take two days, and it's not early now, so you can only set off tomorrow.

"Uncle Wang, discuss something with you, it's not early now, can you let me stay at your house for one night, and I'll leave early tomorrow morning."

When Wang Baochang heard this, he hesitated, smacked the cigarette stick in his mouth, sighed and said: "Little brother, it's not that I won't keep you, it's just that the world is really not peaceful now, in case..."

As soon as Lu Yu heard the old man's words, he also understood what he meant, these days, there have been a lot of petty thefts, and there are bandits on the mountain, the old king is worried that Lu Yu is this kind of person, so he has concerns.

"Uncle Wang, don't worry, I'm definitely not a villain, in this way, I live in your house, I'll give you 2 yuan, you lock the house where I live, and open it for me tomorrow morning, do you think it's okay?"

Wang Baochang heard this, and looked at Lu Yu carefully again, seeing that he had fine skin and tender meat, the average big girl was not as good as his skin, and he didn't look like a poor person when he was dressed, so it could be seen that he should be a rich young master from a rich family, the key was the accommodation fee of 2 yuan, and Wang Baochang was tempted.

"Okay, then you live in the house in the east wing, that house usually lives in my son, I'll find you a new quilt, and ask your aunt to burn the kang for you in a while."

"Okay, thank you, by the way, can you buy horses in the village?"

You can't go to Xuzhou on foot, although it's not winter yet, and it's not cold, but if you can't meet the village along the way, it's uncomfortable enough to stay in the wild overnight. If it was when he was cultivating in the past, it would be nothing to sleep in the wild, the key is that now Lu Yu is an ordinary person, maybe he will catch a cold after freezing overnight.

Besides, Qian Luyu still has some, although due to the loss of cultivation, his spiritual power is only a little stronger than that of ordinary people, and there are only a limited number of things to take out from the space at one time, but it is still no problem to take out a small yellow croaker.

Wang Baochang was stunned for a moment, "You want to buy a horse?" ”

Lu Yu nodded, "Yes, there are more than a hundred miles to go to Xuzhou, you can't go on foot, buy a horse, and the time of the day will be up." ”

"Then don't you have to take the train when you arrive in Xuzhou? What should I do? ”

"If you sell it, if you can't sell it, find a poor man and give it to him." How much can a horse be worth? Lu Yu didn't care at all, because at his level, the difference between money and the dirt that could be seen everywhere on the street was not much different.

Wang Baochang was dumbfounded, "Gave it away?" ”

Is this the life of a rich man? He really couldn't understand, could it be that rich people are so losers? He is also rich in this village, but let alone giving away a horse, even if he lends it out, he feels distressed.

"That's... We have a horse at home, although the mouth is a little old, but it's no problem to run to Xuzhou one day, do you think it's okay? ”

Lu Yu doesn't care, as long as he can bring him to Xu Zhou, it doesn't matter what his mouth looks like, "Then it couldn't be better, save trouble." ”

When Wang Baochang heard this, his face was full of wrinkles, "Then you sit down first, I'll go to your aunt, let her cook something delicious, and then make some cakes to eat on the road tomorrow, and I'll feed the horses." ”

"That's okay, I'm sorry to trouble Uncle Wang."

"No trouble, no trouble, you rest." After speaking, Wang Baochang hurriedly went out of the house to find the old woman to cook.

Lu Yu smiled slightly, although this Wang Baochang is a little cunning and loves to be cheap, but he is not bad. It is estimated that this old man is planning to go to Xuzhou with him tomorrow, and then bring the horse back after Lu Yu gets on the train.

You know, a horse in this era, it is not a small amount of money, not to mention it is worth dozens of yuan, the purchasing power of fiat currency in these years is still very strong, a hundred yuan can almost buy two old cattle, dozens of yuan, equivalent to more than 10,000 yuan of purchasing power in later generations, enough for the living expenses of ordinary poor families for a year or two. You can earn so much in a day or two when you run out, and it's no wonder that the old king doesn't make money.

Lao Wang Tou out of the house, directly ran to the next door brother Wang Lao Er's house, although the old Wang Tou looked not young, in fact, only about 50 years old, his brother Wang Lao Er is more than ten years younger than him, is a man in his 40s, two years ago his wife died of illness, leaving him and his son to rely on each other.

"Second, second! Not at home? ”

"Here, brother, what's the matter?" Seeing the eldest brother in a hurry, Wang Lao Er thought something was wrong and hurriedly ran out of the house.

"You, hurry up and go to the mountain, get the two boys Qingshan and Qingshui back, and I will find a way to arrange a good future for them."

"What's the future?" Can his eldest brother Wang Lao Er still understand? Although he has a lot of power in the village, but in the village, no one knows him when he arrives in the town, so he can arrange a good errand.

"Oh, don't ask, I don't have time to explain to you, hurry up and call them back for me, if this thing is done, our old Wang family will be developed in the future."

"Okay, I'll go." Although I don't know what's going on, but seeing that the eldest brother is so anxious, Wang Lao Er still decided to call his son and eldest nephew back first, and then talk about it, the eldest nephew went to the big city to see the world, and he will be able to figure out what's going on when he comes back.

"I'll go back first, by the way, don't cook at night, come to my place to eat."

After Wang Baochang finished speaking, he turned around and went home, found his daughter-in-law, killed chickens and fish, prepared a table of good dishes, and played a few catties of good wine.

Lu Yu, who was sitting idle in the room, looked at the carry-on space, frowned and took out a small yellow croaker from inside, as soon as the little yellow croaker came out, Lu Yu's brows furrowed deeper, and sweat could be faintly seen on his head, his face was pale and dizzy.

This is a symptom of excessive mental power consumption, and now he has no cultivation at all, and he can take out a small yellow croaker at most at a time, and he has to rest for a while to recover.

If you change it to the ocean, you can take out a dozen at a time, and when he was on the road at noon, Lu Yu had already taken out some oceans, and at present, when the change was enough, the small yellow croaker was ready to be used after arriving in Xuzhou.

When you get to the big city, the cost will definitely be greater, you can't prepare some more money, maybe you will use it when you can, the current mental power and cultivation are insufficient, and you can't take out too much money at once, so you can only prepare in advance.

The battle on Shanghai's side has already started, although Lu Yu is in a hurry, but he also knows that with his current strength to participate in that kind of large-scale battle, he can play a very little role, only by finding a way to improve his strength first, can he make greater contributions, save more people, and give those beast-like devils nightmarish punishment.

Just as Lu Yu was slowly recovering his mental strength, there was a noisy sound of footsteps in the courtyard.
