Chapter 167: Start Again (2) Happy New Year to everyone!
The middle-aged man had not finished speaking: "Let's talk about the girl again." You think she has the temperament of a scholarly family, in fact, I think it is. However, when I look at this girl, she always has a doctor's posture of looking at people. Therefore, I think that this girl is probably from a medical family. It's just that she may have been influenced by poetry and books since she was a child, which is why she has her current temperament. To Lin, what do you think of me? ”
The boy didn't answer immediately, but observed the teenager and girl in front of him according to what the middle-aged man said, and felt that what the middle-aged said was not bad.
Although the young man on the horse revealed this domineering aura, he was actually very peaceful. When looking at people, there is no grand posture, but there is a taste of equality.
And the girl, because she had been reading a book, could not see more.
However, when he looked at it like this, he saw some interest, so he said to the middle-aged man: "Fourth uncle, I want to talk to them, what do you think?" ”
"Then go ahead! You're close in age, just right to fellowship. The middle-aged man immediately agreed.
The young man stepped onto the horse that followed the carriage and ran towards Pang Shiyuan and them.
As soon as he ran, Pang Shiyuan and Pang Jianxiang, who were immersed in their respective worlds, immediately woke up and turned their heads to see him.
Seeing that it was a teenager of similar age, the two relaxed their guard a little.
The young man quickly approached, with a bright smile on his face, and said, "Hello two, in Xia Li Zhilin, the steward of this caravan is my fourth uncle." I was bored in the carriage just now, so I wanted to make friends with the two of you. I wonder if it's an honor? ”
Pang Shiyuan smiled: "Of course." It should be our honor. ”
Then the three of them quickly exchanged names, and then they spoke, much more casually.
Li Zhilin asked, "Brother Shiyuan, what are you going to do in Jincheng?" ”
Pang Shiyuan said: "We actually went to Jincheng to take a boat to Qianzhou. ”
"Qianzhou! That's a long way off! It's not very safe on this road, aren't you worried about your own safety? ”
"I'm a little worried, but it should be okay!" Pang Shiyuan said, "We are just two poor doctors, and we are really capable masters, and they will not find us." And if you don't have the ability, I think we can handle it too. If you really can't handle it, you should have no problem running away. ”
"Brother Shiyuan is really open-minded!" Li Zhilin found that when Pang Shiyuan talked about escaping, he didn't hide it from others at all, and he seemed quite calm.
He began to affirm that Pang Shiyuan was indeed not a person from the Green Forest, as his fourth uncle said. After all, the people of the green forest are fighting for a breath, and they will never say things like running away so casually.
"What an open-mindedness! It's just a bit self-aware. ”
"Brother Li, you said that it is dangerous to go to Qianzhou. Can you tell us how dangerous it is? Pang Xiangxiang, who had been quiet, asked.
"Of course." Li Zhilin immediately said, "The danger from Licheng to Qianzhou should be divided into two paragraphs. First, the land route from the journey to Jincheng. The second is the waterway from Jincheng to Qianzhou. ”
"On land, this generation is often infested with thieves. However, with the strength of our caravan, a small group of thieves will not dare to attack our ideas. What really needs to be paid attention to is the section of the road after entering the Dangbi Mountain. There is a famous mountain of thieves, and there are hundreds of large and small cottages on it. And there are six that have the strength to deal with our caravan. Among these six, two of them are very disciplined and only charge a fixed amount of money to buy roads, so don't worry. And there are two, which are not on our route and do not need to be considered. The rest are two, Tiger Roaring Peak and Hongjiazhai. ”
"The people of Tiger Roaring Peak have always been rampant, and every time they act, they leave no room for it, not only asking for money and goods, but also human lives, and the merchants in the past have suffered greatly. However, although Tiger Roaring Peak has its name, no one can find its real location. There is no way to deal with them. ”
"And Hongjiazhai has a fixed cottage, but it is more troublesome. Tiger Roaring Peak did it, it was an occasional one. Although it is brutal, the chance of encountering it is small after all. But Hongjiazhai will do it as long as he sees the prey that can be attacked, and he almost never lets go. It's just that this cottage is very cunning, they specifically target the merchants they are capable of dealing with, and for those merchants who are really powerful and have big backers, they respectfully let them go. ”
As a result, those who have the strength to deal with Hongjiazhai are too lazy to care about him. Those who have no strength can only endure their far more than common sense tolls. Otherwise, they will commit robbery. ”
Listening to Li Zhilin's introduction to the bandits in Dangbi Mountain, Pang Jianxiang was worried: "The bandits in Dangbi Mountain are so rampant, is there no one to care?" ”
Li Zhilin was a little disdainful: "The government used to manage it. It's a pity that it stopped halfway through. I heard that the loss was too great to bear. As a result, these bandits are even more rampant. The government can't help them, of course they are going to run rampant. ”
"As for the world-famous decent and chivalrous people on the rivers and lakes, they can't count on it. The large and small cottages in Dangbi Mountain, I heard that many of them are inextricably linked. Heroes also ask for money when they travel to do things. These cottages are their money bags. Count on them, the sows will be able to go up the tree! ”
Li Zhilin obviously didn't have a good impression of the government and the fight between the famous and decent families and the chivalrous people. In contrast, he has a significantly worse perception of the famous and chivalrous people.
The government is unreliable, this is the consensus.
But those decent and chivalrous men who claim to be righteous and kind secretly steal men and prostitutes, and do evil, but it is even more cold.
Pang Jianxiang, a rookie in the rivers and lakes, obviously didn't expect to get such an answer, and didn't know what to say for a while.
Fortunately, she is not an authentic Jianghu person, and she has never had a longing for famous and decent families and chivalrous people, so she doesn't care about the collapse of idols.
Pang Shiyuan, on the other hand, took it for granted.
He has read so many martial arts novels, and the most despicable of them are almost all famous and heroes. And things are often in their hands.
Therefore, he didn't care about any of this, but asked the caravan's situation: "Dangbi Mountain is the only way to Jincheng?" ”
"That's right."
"Then how is the caravan going to get through Guò Dang Pi Mountain?"
"It's a matter of luck. Second, rely on money! If you don't come across the two I just mentioned, that's the best. If you do, take the money to eliminate the disaster. They saw that the strength of our caravan was not bad, and felt that the price was too great to take, so they would agree to take the money. ”
Pang Shiyuan had nothing to say, but thought in his heart: "Ancient business, it is really difficult!" Where is like modern times, although there are all kinds of bad habits, but compared to this world, it is definitely a businessman's paradise.! ”
"It's a pity that the real businessman is not satisfied and still wants more. not only engaged in some tofu scum projects that killed people, but also tried every means to squeeze the people's hard-earned money! They should really be allowed to walk around this world, so that they will know how happy they are and what it means to stop in moderation! ”
