Chapter 465: The Grain Seller

From the chat in the back, Xiao Tian learned that Chang Yan was the Split Sky Pluto Clan, that is, Zhuo Kang's clansman back then, he held the position of a thousand households in the army, and this was his fiefdom, located in the southernmost part of the Split Sky County under the control of the Sky Splitting Bear Clan. When there is a war, the men, women and children in the fiefdom must go to the battlefield, and when there is no war, they will land for the people.

The two drank until the early morning of the next day, and then said goodbye. Sending Xiao Tian away, looking at his departing back, Chang suddenly straightened up, slammed his right hand on his chest and saluted, which was reverence from the heart. It turned out that he had already recognized Xiao Tian, and Xiao Tian had left too deep an impression on him during the Battle of Wuyuan Mountain. What makes Chang Yan admire him so much is not how brave and witty he is, but because he values love and righteousness.

In order to save Tang Kun, he was willing to risk life and death, and in order to save those sect disciples of Xuantian Sect, he stepped forward again. In order to save the besieged Xuantian army, he stood up again. In order to delay time and wait for reinforcements, he stood on a mighty warship and retreated from the three armies. That's why Yan Yan pretended to talk about wine and told him a thing or two about the general situation of the Demon Domain, so as not to take a detour, "I don't know if it's right or wrong to do this, I hope you don't bring disaster to the Demon Domain." ”

After saying goodbye to Chang Yan, Xiao Tian went all the way south, and in order to be able to better understand the demon domain and not attract attention, he joined the convoy selling grain and grass. The grain seller is an old man surnamed Gong, and his cultivation has reached the high level of Xuanzong Realm. In Xiaotian's impression, this person is narrow-minded, mean, and stingy, and always tries to squeeze his coolies by all means. He was the only one with a wildebeest on his cart. Wildebeest are not demon clans like domestic animals, so there is no taboo to walk in the demon realm. This is also the far-sighted plan of the grain sellers, if you use an untransformed Sky Splitter Bear to trade in Sky Splitting County, isn't it looking for death?

The rest of the carts were all pulled by brute force by coolies, one per person, and 20,000 stone of grain per cart. Xiao Tian feels a little powerless to pull a car alone, not to mention that those foot forces are just the demon clan that has just been transformed? Fortunately, the demon clan is already brute force.

Xiao Tian mingles with the coolies every day, except for hurrying to talk about what they have seen and heard in various parts of the demon domain. Among the coolies, there was a young man named Maotou, who was born with brute strength, and did not like words very much on weekdays, but his hands and feet were very diligent, and when he had a little free time, he would help those old feet to boil some boiling water to soak their feet to relieve fatigue, so everyone liked him very much.

On this day, in the evening, after the convoy set up camp, Maotou ran to the vicinity to pick up firewood to make a fire, and when the food was ready, he boiled a large pot of boiling water as always, and today he first brought a pot to Xiaotian, and put it beside him with a smile, and turned around and left without saying a word.

Xiao Tian was just about to excuse himself, but an old foot force on the side said with a smile: "Young people soak their feet to relieve fatigue, otherwise you won't be able to hold up to Splitting Heaven County." ”

Xiao Tian didn't shirk when he heard this, and put his sore, stiff feet in the wooden basin and suddenly felt refreshed.

"Well, I didn't lie to you!" said the old man.

"Hmm!" Xiao Tian nodded happily, and then said, "Daddy Kangji will continue to talk about this Split Heaven County. A few people on the side saw that they were going to talk again today, and Maotou also sat beside him with great interest after calling for Kangji's father to wash his feet.

The old man soaked his feet in the water, hung a face full of hills and ravines with an expression of no Ji Tailai, and began to speak complacently after his whole body was comfortable: "The most talented person in Splittian County before was General Zhuo Kang, who was resourceful and managed the army well. In the past, the sons of several patriarchs in Split Heaven County divided one side and fought openly and secretly, fighting for three days and fighting for ten days, and our caravans were worried every day. Since General Zhuo Kang assumed the post of county guard, in just three years, the entire Split Heaven County has been renovated like an iron plate, and the descendants of those patriarchs dare not breathe when they see him. It's a pity that the first battle of Wuyuan Mountain was escaped by a human race kid who stole and slipped away, otherwise our demon clan would have set foot on the land of Xuantian Continent at this moment!"

"Yes, it's a pity, otherwise we would have been able to divide the land, and we wouldn't have to do coolies!" the others lamented.

Xiao Tian knew that he was the person they called "stealing and cheating", and he couldn't hold his face for a while, but fortunately, the bonfire at night covered up his embarrassment.

"What is the current situation of General Zhuo Kang?" Xiao Tian asked.

The Eight Patriarchs later learned the truth, and in a fit of rage, they almost executed General Zhuo Kang. Fortunately, their patriarch let him go of his old feelings and ordered him not to leave the Splitting Heaven County for the rest of his life, and to sit at home and eat and wait for death. ”

"Why don't you sleep? Do you still have the energy to work tomorrow when you light the lamp and boil the oil? Sit and talk that work doesn't waste your physical strength? You can't eat two more mouthfuls of food tomorrow? Go back to sleep for me." When the grain dealer heard the lively conversation outside, he lifted the curtain of the caravan and stretched out his head and scolded.

The foot force did not dare to resist, hurriedly extinguished the bonfire, returned to their respective grain carts, and fell asleep leaning on the wheels. Xiao Tian shook his head and sighed and returned to his own grain cart, and sat down cross-legged to meditate and breathe.

The next morning, the grain seller got up early and hurried to go, and if his feet were a little slower, he would whip them down. Maotou saw that Xiaotian didn't put away the wooden basin for washing his feet yesterday, and hurriedly ran over to put the wooden basin away, and the grain dealer saw that he whipped him on the back: "Stinky boy is making trouble again, why don't you go to pull the cart quickly, and you want to waste time to eat rice?"

Xiao Tian has long been unaccustomed to what the other party is doing, but in order to find out the current situation of the demon domain as soon as possible, he has been forbearance to realize the plan of the various clans before the catastrophe comes. But today is different, Mao Tou is suffering for himself, how can he continue to endure it? shouted: "You dare?" said as he stepped forward and grabbed the whip to do it. The old man Kang Ji hurriedly stepped forward to stop Xiao Tiandao: "Little brother, you are a passerby, there are some things you don't understand. Then he said to the grain dealer: "Lord Gong, you have a lot, he doesn't know the rules, I'll talk to him in my spare time." ”

The grain dealer was about to have a seizure, and when he saw Kang Ji intermediating, he snorted coldly and said, "If there is another time, get out of here for me!" Then he looked at the other coolies and shouted: "Look at it, don't work quickly!"

When the people saw that the grain dealer was really angry, they didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly pulled the cart forward.

Kang Ji patted Xiaotian on the shoulder and said, "Go to work! As he spoke, he turned and walked towards his cart.

On this day, the road was getting rougher, and the mountains on both sides were densely wooded, and there was only one winding canyon in the mountains that could be opened to traffic. Pulling a cart through the rocky canyon becomes even more strenuous.

For some reason, everyone's expressions became nervous, and the grain dealer did not hide in the carriage to sleep today, but sat at the front of the car and looked around vigilantly.
