Tangjiang people pay attention to the seven do not go out, eight do not return, the meaning of the seven do not go out is the seventh day of the month is not suitable for the good day to go out, if you go out at this time, it will definitely encounter all kinds of misfortunes, and the meaning of eight does not return is that the eighth day of the month is not suitable for the time to go home.

Perhaps for thousands of years, the environment around Tangjiang has been too harsh. The people who went out of the town really suffered too much misfortune, so it has always been that people who go out of the town not only have to choose the day, but also don't want the five people and three surnames to be together.

After all, in Tangjiang Town, there is not only the custom of not going out for seven and not returning for eight, but also the legend of five people and three surnames. Legend has it that five friends once went out together, including two pairs of brothers with different surnames, and one with a different surname than the other four.

The five of them also deliberately chose an auspicious day when they went out, but unfortunately not long after the five of them left the town, someone fell into the sky and encountered an accident, and the friend who went out with the two brothers died. Since then, people in Tangjiang Town have been together to avoid the situation of five people and three surnames.

So, after having dinner on the afternoon of the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Li Chuanrong and his wife greeted the sunset and walked out of the house after saying goodbye to their families.

With tears in his eyes, after walking out of the house, Li Chuanrong did not say goodbye to other relatives and friends, and the couple walked directly in the direction of Tongda Car Dealership.

Pengcheng County is thousands of miles away from Tangjiang Town, and if you purely want to rely on your legs to walk step by step, you don't know that you have to go to the Year of the Monkey to reach it, and then you need to take other means of transportation to reach it.

In addition, the young people in Tangjiang Town have always had the tradition of going out to work hard, since they want to go out to work, the journey is shorter, if you need to travel a long distance, it is definitely impossible to measure the journey with your feet. At this time, if the family is wealthy and has horses at home, they can ride their own horses, or they can go to the post station to rent horses and return the horses to the post house when they reach their destination;

Since it is to go out to work hard, then this means that this person's family is definitely not rich, after all, it is expensive to leave the hometown, and people are cheap when they leave their hometown, if they don't want to make more money outside, they are willing to leave their hometowns and go to a strange city to work alone. In this way, low-cost car dealers have become the first choice for people who go out to work.

There are now a total of two car dealerships in Tangjiang Town, one is the Zhongshan car shop opened by Zhong Dashan, the patriarch of the Zhong clan, and the other is this Tongda car dealership.

Originally, there were more than a dozen car dealers in Tangjiang Town, but after the survival of the fittest in the market, mergers and acquisitions, in the end, only these two car dealers were left in operation.

When he was a child, his father went out to work hard for decades and had no news, so since he was a child, he and several brothers and sisters followed his mother to depend on each other, and often ate the last meal without the next meal. When I grew up a little, I went to a car dealership as an apprentice.

Speaking of which, Lu Hetong is also a person who is not satisfied with the status quo, not long after the apprentice came out, he saw that the young people around the town liked to go out to work, and he felt that there was still a market for the car dealership, so he set up his own door, bought a carriage and started to run the single gang.

Just when Lu Hetong bought a carriage and was about to go it alone, it happened that the news that Pengcheng had found Silver Feather Feipeng also spread to Tangjiang, and suddenly Tangjiang Town and the surrounding young people who wanted to go out and get rich overnight ran in groups in the direction of Pengcheng. Since everyone is running to Pengcheng, Lu Hetong saw that there was a rich source of customers, so he decided to run Pengcheng this route.

Although at that time, a large number of people in the town rushed to Pengcheng or returned to Tangjiang every day, every time it was close to the New Year or just after the New Year, all the carriages of the car dealers in the town would be full before they departed, and in those years, there were only twenty-five seats in the carriage that rushed back from Pengcheng for the New Year in the Chinese New Year's Eve, and there were more than 110 people in the carriage, not to mention the place where the coachman sits, and even squatting, the big guy stood motionless on the carriage for six or seven hours and returned to Tangjiang for the New Year。

Every day, the business of the car dealership can be said to be like a customer, and this Lu Hetong also gets up early every day and works hard in the dark, but he has not made any great progress in those years, but he has just moved from extreme poverty to food and clothing, and he is still a nobody in the entire Lu family, and he has no right to speak at all.

After all, at that time, Lu Hetong was not the only one running Pengcheng in Tangjiang Town, and the entire car dealership market in Tangjiang at that time could be said to be an era when the heroes stood side by side. In the town, there are many people who are stronger than Lu and Tongqiang.

Just when Lu Hetong himself felt that this life was like this, don't think about being rich and rich, as long as he could spend his life in peace, his old father, who had worked hard outside all his life and had never heard from him, suddenly returned to Tangjiang. When he returned, it was not only the people who came back, but also the wealth that his father had worked hard all his life outside. This may be because his old father feels old and hopes to return to his roots, and he is alone and has no other family, so when he comes back, he sells all the family property and returns to Tangjiang.

With the huge fortune brought back by his father, this Lu Hetong has embarked on the road of rapid expansion since then. Buying a large number of horse-drawn carriages, recruiting skilled coachmen, opening up new routes, squeezing the living space of other car dealers in the town, and merging and acquiring the poorly run car dealers. All of a sudden, the other car dealers in the town closed down, while Lu Hetong's car dealership expanded rapidly, and in the end, only Zhong Dashan's Zhongshan car shop was left in the whole town, barely able to compete with it.

When Lu Hetong began to expand, he named his car dealership Tongda, one is to take one of the characters in his name, and the other is to hope that his car dealership can be accessible in all directions, and his footprints can spread all over the entire Shenlong Empire.

As the saying goes, this mountain is difficult to accommodate two tigers, after the development of this Tongda car dealership, Lu Hetong also thought about squeezing out the living space of Zhongshan car dealership, and monopolized the entire Tangjiang car dealership market alone, and made a lot of moves for this purpose. In the end, it was the patriarch of the Lu family who came forward to talk to Zhong Dashan in detail to suppress the matter, and since then, the two car dealers have maintained peace at least on the surface.

Up to now, these two car dealerships are just like the status of the Lu family and the Zhong family in the town, and Lu Hetong's access to the car dealership is stronger than that of Zhongshan car dealership.

All of these people have a kind of blind obedience psychology, since this Tongda car shop is the largest car shop in Tangjiang Town, then most of the people who generally travel choose this Tongda car dealership, and Zhongshan car shop is mainly used by the Zhong clan and some of their in-laws.

When Li Chuanrong and his wife came to Tongda Automobile Dealership, they had just arrived in Youyou, although it was the end of the day, but at a glance, the entire Tongda Automobile Dealer was bustling with people who were preparing to travel far away.

Since tomorrow is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, it is not suitable to go out, so many people arrive at Tongda Car Dealer today, hoping to set off today. Although there are two horse-drawn carriages to Pengcheng every day, there are still many people who can't squeeze the last train.

When Li Chuanrong walked into the Tongda car dealership, he turned a blind eye to the crowd standing in front of the counter shouting loudly to ask when there was a seat to go to Pengcheng, and walked straight to the backyard of the car dealership, where all the carriages were parked, and they started to set off after all the seats were filled.

Walking to the backyard, there were about twenty carriages parked in the backyard of Tongda Automobile at this time, and these carriages were all ready to set off and go to various parts of the Shenlong Empire.

The carriages were all led by shadow horses, and eight tall shadow horses stood quietly in front of each carriage.

These shadow horses are extremely powerful, and they run as fast as lightning, leaving only a faint shadow in people's eyes, which is why they are called shadow horses. The so-called treasure horse that travels thousands of miles a day is completely a scum in front of it, and the distance from Tangjiang to Pengcheng is nearly a thousand miles, and it will only take about two hours for this shadow horse to let go.

Behind the Shadow Horse is a huge carriage, this carriage is about three zhang long and nearly two zhang wide, and the whole carriage is a huge alchemy product.

The carriage is made of meteoric iron, and in the upper half of the carriage is a ring of windows made of crystal, so that passengers can enjoy the scenery from inside the carriage.

On the outside of the carriage, the lower half is engraved with a huge floating array, which makes the entire carriage float in the air, ensuring that no matter what the situation, the entire carriage is kept at a distance of about an inch from the ground. In this way, the carriage does not feel the resistance of the ground when it is moving, allowing the carriage to move faster.

Due to the speed of the shadow horse, in order to make the passengers in the carriage more comfortable, the entire carriage can be said to be a completely enclosed space after the doors are closed. Although the carriage is completely sealed when walking, the dense ventilation array engraved inside the carriage allows there to be plenty of fresh air in the carriage at all times, so that passengers sitting in the carriage will not feel uncomfortable at all.

A braking array is carved on each of the two wheels of the shadow horse, so that when the shadow horse in front of it stops, the car behind it will be affected by inertia and stop quickly.

"I was the seat that Xie Yanxiang reserved for me, and he told me that he had reserved two seats for me. ”

Walking to the carriage heading to Pengcheng, Li Chuanrong said to the coachman guarding the door of the carriage.

This Xie Yanxiang is a steward of Tongda Auto Dealership, and a relative of Lu Hetong, the owner of Tongda Auto Dealership, and Li Chuanrong's partner from childhood to adulthood. Li Chuanrong knew that if he came to Tongda Motors to buy a seat on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, the final result would only be that he would be told that it would be full, and there would be no empty seats until the seventh or eighth day of the Lunar New Year, so he found Xie Yanxiang very early and asked him to reserve two seats for the sixth day of the Lunar New Year to go to Pengcheng.

"Please, these two are your seats, please sit down. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Xie Yanxiang's reserved seat, the coachman immediately politely guided Li Chuanrong and his wife into the carriage, and walked to the two best seats in the front row, motioning for them to sit down.

The whole carriage is relatively high, and ordinary people have to use their hands to touch the roof when standing in the carriage. There are four rows of seats, two seats on the left and two seats on the left and right, and an aisle in the middle, each of which is sewn with fine fire cowhide to make people feel soft and comfortable to sit on. Such a large carriage can seat about 40 people.

When Li Chuanrong and his wife sat down, the entire carriage was already full.

After seeing Li Chuanrong and his wife sitting in their seats, the coachman also left the carriage. It didn't take much effort for Li Chuanrong to see that the scenery next to him was moving full, and at this time the carriage began to move forward. (To be continued.) )
