In the center of the temporary camp of the Zhong family's caravan, a whole sheep was roasted over a bonfire, which they had bought from the town for tonight's dinner, and many guards gathered around the campfire carrying wine jars and munching on rare delicacies.

Zhong Qing pulled Qin Chuan to the bonfire and shouted, "Zhong Liu, cut a piece of meat from the roasted leg of lamb and send it over." ”

"Okay. ”

One of the guards in the caravan named Zhong Liu, carrying a knife with him, cut a large piece of the hind leg of the freshly roasted lamb and brought it to Zhong Qing. Zhong Qing swung the plate containing the mutton in front of Qin Chuan, then poured a bowl of wine for Qin Chuan, and he himself took a bowl and stood up.

"Come, let me introduce to you, this is the little brother of Qinchuan Qin, he will be the same as us in the next part of the journey, he is a member of this caravan, serving as the guard of the caravan, the old rule, everyone salute a bowl together!"

After Zhong Qing finished his introduction, all the guards shouted and picked up the wine bowl in their hands. This is the habit of their caravan, and every time a new person arrives, they will toast a bowl of wine together, strengthen the relationship between each other, and facilitate the faster integration into the whole. This continent is not very peaceful, and there are often battles on the way to transport goods, and only when you are deeply emotional can you dare to give your back to your teammates.

Zhong Qing patted Qin Chuan on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Little brother, this is our caravan's way of welcoming newcomers, I think when I was the captain of this team, I was toasted by them one by one, hahaha." ”

Although Zhong Qing's caravan is a family caravan, it has been taking goods out all the year round, and the whole team does not have the arrogance of those world-lord nobles, but is more straightforward and reckless. Qin Chuan was infected by this warm atmosphere, although he had never touched wine, but in such an atmosphere, he couldn't help but feel a sense of pride in his heart, wanting to have a bowl with these people.

Qin Chuan picked up the wine bowl and raised it: "I'll do it first as respect!"

"!" "!"

Amid the applause of the crowd, the liquor went into his throat. Qin Chuan drank all the wine in the bowl in one go, and then overturned the wine bowl over, indicating that it had not been leaked. But the next moment, his face was instantly covered with a layer of drunkenness, and he fell to the ground drunk.

Zhong Qing was startled, and only after careful examination did he breathe a sigh of relief, but Qin Chuan's amount of alcohol and speed of drunkenness really made him ashamed. The guards came over curiously, and it was the first time they had seen a bowl of wine poured down immediately.

"Captain, what's the matter with this little brother Qin, why is he drunk like this with a bowl of wine. ”

Zhong Qing smiled awkwardly, "This should be a relatively rare physique, the slag physique, like the thousand cups of people who are not drunk, is one in ten thousand." ”

At dawn the next day, Qin Chuan woke up in a drowsy mind, and it took a long time to remember what happened last night. At that time, he only felt that the liquor entered his stomach like a raging fire ignited instantly, and at that moment, a drunkenness hit his head, and before he could react, he was already drunk and fell to the ground.

Running the exercises to mobilize the vitality, dispel the alcohol in the body, and finally sober up the head. Although Qin Chuan drank for the first time, he never imagined that his alcohol consumption was so unbearable, he knew that at that time, he would directly transport the alcohol in the wine that was dissipated into his stomach, but at that time, everyone did not do so, and Qin Chuan was embarrassed to make something special.

However, with the embarrassment of last night's accident, the people in the caravan were much closer and more enthusiastic to Qin Chuan, the wine scum, and came out of the tent where he slept, and there were guards to greet him from time to time along the way.

As soon as it was dawn, the people of the caravan began to pack up their tents, preparing to continue their journey, and when Qin Chuan woke up, the camp was already half packed.

Qin Chuan took advantage of everyone's efforts to clean up the camp, borrowed a set of tools from a guard to maintain the Juyuan gun, and prepared to take the blackbird apart and maintain it.

When Qin Chuan woke up from a serious injury, the two alloy short swords had lost their traces, the worn-out Bible that had followed him for many years was soaked into a puddle of mud, and the two deep-sea whale beads were also taken to pay off the debt, and only this blackbird was kept because it was disgusted by that Zhong Gongzi.

After being soaked in the river for a night, the Juyuan gun was somewhat damaged, but fortunately, the important parts were still intact. Qin Chuan dismantled the blackbird, used maintenance tools to remove the remaining river mud at the narrow corner, wiped the feeling, and then applied a layer of special protective oil.

The Juyuan gun is strong on the outside, but the core components on the inside are very fragile. Some important areas are worn out or blocked, which will cause the Condensed Vitality Bullet to consume more Vitality, and even the slightest damage to important parts will make a Condensed Yuan Gun scrapped.

Maintaining the Juyuan gun is a meticulous job, not only to eliminate the hidden dangers in the gun, but also not to cause damage to the fragile internal parts, the average careless cultivator can not master this skill at all, like the imperial army has set up a special department to repair and maintain the Juyuan gun.

Qin Chuan now felt that the training at the Reaper Base seemed to have trained them into an almost omnipotent person, and all kinds of skills had to be mastered. Not long after Qin Chuan skillfully dismantled and maintained the blackbird in his hand, Zhong Qing, who was middle-aged but very burly, stopped curiously when he passed by, and stopped to watch Qin Chuan maintain the blackbird for a while before he spoke: "Little brother, you actually know how to maintain the Juyuan Gun?"

Qin Chuan shook the blackbird part in his hand towards Zhong Qing, and said with a smile: "When you go out, it's not easy to starve to death if you master more door skills." ”

Seeing Qin Chuan's skillful technique, Zhong Qing hesitated for a long time and finally rubbed his hands a little embarrassed and said: "Little brother, will other models of Juyuan guns be maintained, I have a first-class Juyuan gun, but a few days ago, it suddenly became a lot sluggish, and it takes three times more vitality than before to condense a vitality bullet." ”

After Qin Chuan thought for a few seconds, he already had a general direction for the solution to this problem in his heart, "Captain Zhong, it should be that there is some dirt blocking the conductive metal closure at the position of the handle of the gun, let me take a look at the model of the gun first." ”

Zhong Qing used two Juyuan guns of different grades, one first-level and the other second-class, both of which were placed in two holsters tied to his legs.

He took out the Juyuan gun on his left leg and handed it to Qin Chuan.

Qin Chuan took this first-class Juyuan gun, the dark body of the gun, with a streamlined wave pattern, this style of Juyuan gun is called Haichao, and its power is comparable to Qin Chuan's blackbird. Qin Chuan encountered the Haichao Juyuan Gun during the training of repairing and maintaining the Juyuan Gun at the Reaper Base, and disassembled the handle of the Haichao gun after dividing it by two.

Sure enough, there was a layer of mud trapped in the place where the handle made of conductive metal came into contact with the internal parts, and it should be that Zhong Qing had not maintained the gun for a long time, which would cause more and more dust to become in that part, and finally form a blockage.

Seeing that Qin Chuan accurately found out the crux of the problem, Zhong Qing also changed from being suspicious of Qin Chuan's maintenance skills from the beginning to being convinced. You must know that the person who can lock down the problem at once based on the ordinary symptoms of the Juyuan Gun is already close to the master-level level for those who repair and maintain the Juyuan Gun. Those beginners, those who only have a superficial knowledge of this aspect are unlikely to do this, they can only disassemble all the Juyuan guns and check them one by one.

After Qin Chuan wiped the dirt with a clean special maintenance cloth, he applied a layer of protective oil, and finally put the handle back into the tide. Qin Chuan mastered the Shanghai tide in his hand, and ran a small amount of vitality to inject into it, and after injecting the vitality test several times, he nodded with satisfaction and threw the sea tide to Zhong Qing.

Zhong Qing caught the tide of the sea, and his own vitality was injected into the tide, and then a smile bloomed on his face with a slight trace of age. It can be seen that Zhong Qing has been using this tide for some years. The Juyuan Gun is a cultivator's weapon, just like a knife or a sword, only when it is suitable and after a long run-in can it exert its due or even greater power, not any Juyuan Gun of the same style can exert the same power in the hands of the same cultivator.

"Little brother is very skilled, I don't know what the little brother plans to do after this escort trip?" Zhong Qing asked casually after putting Haichao back into the holster next to his leg, watching Qin Chuan maintain the blackbird from the side.

Qin Chuan heard the meaning of Zhong Qing's words, this was to recruit him, but Qin Chuan didn't have the heart to think about it now. Although it seemed that there was no monitoring by the Blood Skeleton, Qin Chuan had no doubt that if he had been "playing and missing" with the Blood Skeleton for a long time, the Blood Skeleton would be able to turn him out within ten days. Since the Blood Skeleton dared to release these newcomers to perform the task alone, it naturally had the confidence not to worry about them running away.

"Captain Zhong, I still have important things to do after I get to the city area, if it weren't for the debt I owe to your little son, I would have left to do my own business. ”

Zhong Qing also fell in love with Qin Chuan's skill in maintaining the Juyuan gun, usually only one or two people in their caravan barely knew some knowledge of maintenance, and the Juyuan gun used in the caravan was damaged and had to spend a lot of crystal coins to repair and maintain. If Qin Chuan joins the caravan, he can at least save the maintenance of crystal coins in the future.

Maintenance and repair of Juyuan guns, this is a valuable profession in some small cities, and it is precisely this point that Zhong Qing looks at.

Qin Chuan secretly rejected Zhong Qing in his words, and Zhong Qing also heard the meaning of refusal from his words, and he was not reluctant, but only told Qin Chuan that if he wanted to walk around the world in the future, he might as well join their caravan.

After Qin Chuan finished maintaining the Blackbird, the temporary camp of the Zhong family caravan was also cleaned up, and the convoy was ready to set off after it was reorganized.

The convoy's escort vehicles were guarded at every position, and Qin Chuan was in the cargo box of the truck before, but now that Qin Chuan woke up, it was not suitable for him to stay in the almost closed cargo box anymore. Zhong Qing was in a difficult situation at this time, so he had to explain the truth to Qin Chuan with some embarrassment, and asked him if he would like to squeeze a car with him.

Just when Zhong Qing asked Qin Chuan's opinion, Zhong Yishui's maid Ziyun came to them with small steps, first glanced at Qin Chuan, who was unclear, and then said to Zhong Qing and the others: "The little boy said that although Qin Gongzi is an invited guard, he is also a guest, and the guard's vehicle is afraid that there are no free seats, so I invite Qin Gongzi to sit in my little son's car." ”

Zhong Yishui spoke, and Zhong Qing naturally had no opinion. After Zhong Qing and the others left, Ziyun ignored Qin Chuan, and twisted his head and stepped back to Zhong Yishui's car.

Qin Chuan was confused by the little maid's temper, but after thinking about it, I was afraid that it was because of the words that ridiculed Zhong Gongzi yesterday to go out with the maid that made her hold a grudge. Qin Chuan shrugged his shoulders helplessly, he didn't say that she was ugly, why did he hold a grudge after all night, sighed lightly, followed Ziyun to Zhong Yishui's car, and warned himself not to provoke this little girl in the future as he walked.
