Chapter 36: Fantasy
The rest of the journey was smooth.
Ji Que slept in a comfortable coffin, except for a piece of bird poop that almost hit his head, he didn't encounter any other bad luck.
Yes, the bad luck during the accumulation of perception is not endless, but lasts for a while and rests for a while, giving people a little "surprise" from time to time, and then reaching a certain dynamic balance.
As soon as noon arrived, Qingyan Town arrived.
When Ji Que crawled out of the coffin, he scared away several passers-by.
Li Sankai held his hand and greeted him repeatedly for a while, and then said goodbye to him.
Ji Que only felt that the other party was too polite, obviously he took someone else's ride, but he was thanked by others.
It made him a little embarrassed.
After saying goodbye to Ji Que, her sister Li Mei couldn't help asking, "Brother, do you have a good relationship with the Ji family's brother?" ”
Li San opened a serious book and said, "That's for sure." ”
Before, they could only be regarded as acquaintances, but after last night, they were lifesavers.
"Then he's not married, is he? Do you have a favorite girl? If you walk that far alone, you won't have an accident, right? Li Mei couldn't help but worry.
Li San opened his eyes and said, "What are you going to do?" ”
Li Mei said: "People just care about your friends. ”
"Don't worry, Ji Que has nothing to worry about."
"Why, I see that he is alone, and it is the first time he goes out, and I am afraid that he will be bullied if I am not careful."
"Oh, I forgot to tell you, in fact, Ji lacks his innate divine power."
"Born with divine powers?"
Looking at his sister's surprised expression, Li Sankai only felt that ignorance was a blessing.
How he wished that he was the one who was stunned last night, so that his worldview would not change.
Looking at the barren grass on both sides of the road, Li Sankai shrank his neck and hurriedly gave the horse two whips.
From now on, he no longer dared to spend the night in the barren mountains and wild temples.
No, I won't send a coffin so far away in the future.
Whoever wants to buy a coffin, take it himself.
After coming to the transit station in Qingyan Town, Ji Que first found the restaurant with the most popular family, and had a good meal and drink.
After that, he sold the ancestor of the yellow horse.
He hadn't raised a horse before, and he didn't know that raising a horse was so troublesome until he did.
This yellow hused horse came and went, but it ran for less than ten miles, and it lost two taels of silver when it changed hands, which made Ji Que quite depressed.
This is the same as a second-hand car, once it has been driven, no matter how new it is, it has to depreciate.
However, this is also a timely stop loss, which is better than taking an ancestor on the road.
The yellow horse was sold just one day after it came out of the mountain, and the pair of horse eyes watched the former owner leave, a little dazed.
Without the yellow horse to drag the luggage, Ji Que could only buy some tools.
So after that, Ji Que, who was standing on the road, had an extra book on his back.
Fortunately, the recliner given to him by Tang Yi can be folded, otherwise it would be really difficult to clean up.
Looking at his own reflection on the water, Ji Que always felt that music sounded automatically in his ears.
"The road of life is like a dream.
The road is windy and frosty, and the wind and frost are dry.
In the red dust, there are many directions for sweet dreams......"
This image, Ning Caichen's buff has increased again.
After that, Ji Que once again set foot on the road ahead.
Along the way, he naturally had a lot of bad luck, but he also ate a lot of delicious things and saw a lot of scenery that he had never seen before.
After walking on this road in person, Ji Que deeply felt the desolation of this world.
At least that's how the northern land of this prosperous dynasty is.
After leaving the town, the road is full of large areas of barren grass and wild forests, except for the occasional farmland.
There are not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally I encounter a look of being in a hurry and wanting to break my soul.
Walking on the road will involuntarily give birth to a sense of loneliness, as if walking and walking will be swallowed up by the wilderness.
may be because the accumulation of understanding is still in the early stage, or because many of the places he has traveled are sparsely populated, Ji Que has met more than a dozen pickpockets and bandits along the way, all of whom are not very professional.
The so-called not very professional, in addition to not being skilled enough in technique, is also because they are relatively poor.
It's so poor that it's hard for you to pick up some money from them, and you can't bear it.
On the seventh day in particular, he encountered a roadblock robbery.
There were a total of six robbers, men, women and children went into battle together, some with nail rakes, some with flat poles, all of them were so hungry that their faces were yellow and thin, as if they would fall when the wind blew.
Ji Que had encountered unprofessionalism before, but he had never encountered such unprofessionalism.
When he asked, he learned that there was a great drought and famine not far away, and all the crops planted by these people could not survive, but the official master's excesses and miscellaneous taxes were indispensable.
was forced to be unable to do it, and everything they could run in their village ran away.
Some became beggars, some became thieves, and some sold their sons and daughters, and several of them chose to fall into the grass for a promising profession.
After all, the heroes in the storyteller's mouth are all big pieces of gold, and big pieces of meat.
As a result, these people did not receive any grain for half a month.
Either others have horses, they can't catch up, or the caravan guards are tall and big, and they don't dare to provoke.
finally met Ji Que, a lone scholar, and as a result, he was able to smash the rocks next to him with one punch.
In the words of the bandit leader, they had been eating bark and weeds for days, and he had a three-year-old daughter who could not eat these things and was dying of hunger.
As he spoke, a group of bandits burst into tears, and the thinnest-looking woman was even more out of breath because of malnutrition, and fainted.
Ji Que watched this scene and almost cried with them.
It's just miserable.
So Ji Que, who was robbed, didn't make any money, but gave them twenty taels of silver and asked them to do some business or something.
"Don't be a bandit, you guys are really talented."
Although Ji Que loves silver, he doesn't have any remorse for giving away silver this time.
"If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world." This is a truth that he has known for a long time.
He is not up to it, and he is even poor, but compared to the few farmers who eat grass and bark, he can be regarded as good.
Twenty taels of silver is not much for him, and there is only a half-baked goose in Tianren City, but in the hands of those few people, it can save lives.
It is the fine tradition of the Lao Ji family to help others as much as possible, otherwise there would be no such baked cake marriage contract.
Along the way, although Ji Que kept walking, he didn't deliberately speed up.
In the process, he became more aware of the complexity and cruelty of this world, and the few farmers who were forced to become bandits were just one of the epitomes of what he saw and heard on this road.
Relatively speaking, the closed Sangshui County has a bit of a paradise taste.
In short, on the way to Tianren City, Ji Que fell some bad luck, saved some people, lost some silver, and picked up some silver.
Overall, it was a loss, and the silver on his body kept hovering between seven or eight hundred taels to achieve a dynamic balance.
However, he was more afraid of the loss of the marriage letter and the baked bread than the loss of the money, so he hid them best and safest.
Occasionally tidying up things, seeing the half of the moldy baked cake, Ji Que always couldn't help but have some thoughts.
Although he went to get out of the marriage, he still became interested in his nominal "fiancée", and wanted to know what kind of person the other party was, whether he was tall, whether his legs were long, and whether he was beautiful or not.
People who want to get divorced, why do they know so much?
But Ji Que couldn't help but think about it.
This is human instinct, just like a very unreliable online dating or blind date, you know that the other party is very likely to be a tank, but before the truth is revealed, there are always fantasies.
Young people love fantasy and are not guilty.
Almost every young person has fantasized about a beautiful rich woman, and Lori Royal Sister is fine.
Ji Que is not exempt from vulgarity, especially in the previous life, he always dreamed that the two-dimensional heroine in a certain anime came to reality, and then lived happily with him.
Later, he stopped having that dream, because he fell in love with another two-dimensional wife.
But today, Ji Que has no time to miss his former two-dimensional wife.
Because he seems to be lost.
The mountains are foggy, dusk is gone, and darkness will envelop the land.
It doesn't seem like there's a village in front of you, there's no shop in the back, and it's hard to find someone to ask for directions.
He could only continue to walk forward, but when the mountains and rivers were exhausted and there was no way out, suddenly another village was brightened.
A village came into view.
Ji Que couldn't help but be happy.
It seems that I won't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight, and maybe I can eat some hot dishes and soup.
Ji Que carried the book on his back and couldn't help but speed up his pace.
If it weren't for the fear that swimming on the ground would scare others, he would have even wanted to lie down and swim down the hill at an accelerated pace.
