Chapter 3: Preparing to go to Lanruo Temple
"Brother Chu, thank you."
Ning Caichen, who was fighting in a straight battle, said.
At the beginning, Chu Mingwei came, the speed was too fast, those robbers were killed in an instant, and Ning Caichen did not see Chu Ming's actions clearly.
When Chu Ming and Xiahou swordsmen faced off.
Ning Caichen was the one who saw Chu Ming's move.
Between that back and forth, it was really a sword and a sword, and when it was dangerous, it was very elegant.
I also understand that this is a master.
"It's okay, I don't know where Brother Tai is going?" Chu Ming smiled and asked knowingly.
"I'm going to Dongguo County to collect the debt," Ning Caichen said without much hesitation, Chu Ming shouldn't have any thoughts about him, and if he did, he wouldn't help him deal with these robbers.
Therefore, Ning Caichen didn't have any scheming, and said it generously.
"Dongguo County, it just so happens that I'm going to Lanruo Temple there, and we can go together." Chu Ming pretended to be very excited, his face was excited, and he patted Ning Caichen's shoulder and pretended to be generous.
"Is it such a coincidence?" Ning Caichen seemed to be a little disbelieving, but thinking about Chu Ming's strength, he felt that with Chu Ming's company, if there were robbers robbing the road, he would be able to pass safely.
Therefore, Ning Caichen said happily: "It's very suitable, Brother Chu doesn't say it, I also want to walk with Brother Chu." ”
Along the way, Ning Caichen and Chu Ming talked and laughed, and after learning that Chu Ming was still his neighbor, Ning Caichen was even more excited.
It's a coincidence that this is not a book.
When he walked three-quarters of the way, Ning Caichen was a little hungry, and took out the hard and black nest head from the package.
There is no way, the people in this era are not doing well, and Ning Caichen has no food at home, and having this nest is excellent food.
You can only get these accounts back, and you can live for a long time.
"This is not delicious, Brother Ning, you eat first to cushion your stomach, and I will treat you to a delicious meal when you go to Dongguo County." Chu Ming said.
Ning Caichen walked a little slowly, and Chu Ming sounded the allusion of Wangmei to quench his thirst, so he encouraged him.
"Really?" Hearing Chu Ming's voice, Ning Caichen unconsciously let out more saliva, he hadn't eaten a meal for a long time, and then his brows furrowed slightly, as a scholar, he was a little embarrassed to eat the food that came to him: "We have only met once, how can you let Brother Chu break the bank?" ”
"It's okay, I have a lot of money." Chu Ming said heartily.
This reason is very powerful, and Ning Caichen is speechless.
No wonder the clothes Chu Ming was wearing were a little different from him, it turned out to be a rich man's dress, Ning Caichen was secretly surprised in his heart.
Because of Chu Ming's encouragement, Ning Caichen really walked faster.
It was faster than normal to reach Dongguo Town, and Ning Caichen's account books were not wet by the rain, because his speed was happier.
Chu Ming didn't break his promise, and took Ning Caichen to the best tavern in Dongguo Town and invited him to dinner.
Then, he took out a silver bar from his sleeve, broke it a little bit, and paid the hotel shopkeeper.
In addition to ten silver bars, he also had ten gold bars, which were exchanged for tickets in the modern world.
It was used as money in the ancient world.
Why not prepare in other ancient worlds and take it back?
It's too troublesome, anyway, Chu Ming is not short of money, so why bother.
Originally, I wanted to get a parachute, but now I have broken through the foundation, even if I fall at a height of 10,000 meters, as long as I use internal force as a buffer at the last moment, I can't fall to death, so I didn't prepare a parachute.
Ning Caichen, who was well-fed, couldn't stand up, but he thought about collecting the bills, and he wanted to get up by holding on to the wall.
"Brother Ning, don't be in a hurry for a while, let's take a rest first," Chu Ming said, according to the plot, Ning Caichen's family still has enough food, so there is no need to be so anxious.
"I'm really embarrassed," Ning Caichen sat down embarrassedly, the sage has a cloud: you have to eat to eat, you have to have a sitting appearance, but you haven't been late for a full meal for too long, and you can't have any image, Cang Liao knows etiquette.
Now that Ning Caichen has eaten enough, he has these skills to realize that he is wrong.
Looking at Ning Caichen, who was still a little old-fashioned, Chu Ming couldn't help but smile, maybe this is the limitation of ancient literati.
However, there are good and bad things about this kind of limitation, the advantage is that it is conducive to rule, and the people's hearts are simple, and the disadvantage is naturally that the consciousness is somewhat rigid, and it is difficult to get rich.
After a long rest, the two got up and walked to the store where the borrowed money had not been repaid.
After a while, the two came to the entrance of the store.
Ning Caichen went in with the IOU, and the store owner looked at the money in the account book, checked it, and then gave the money to Ning Caichen.
Everything went very smoothly.
In this era, the reason why there is a special job of collecting debts is because the road is dangerous.
If you don't have an experienced dart master to know the way, you may encounter monsters and beasts.
The nearer roads are not much better, they are all thieves and robbers, so it is a special assignment to collect accounts.
Since the account book on Ning Caichen's side is clearly visible, it is not easy for the store owner to offset the account, because next time he still needs to pay on credit in the store that entrusted Ning Caichen to collect the account.
Ning Caichen asked for the money and came back, happily, turned to look at Chu Ming and said, "Brother Chu, I invite you to go to the good inn to rest." ”
After eating Chu Ming's meal for nothing, Ning Caichen is the kind of lord who eats a meal from others, and the next moment he has money, he wants to return it.
That's why I said this, I wanted to repay Chu Ming's kindness.
"Keep some of it, go home and buy some chickens and ducks for your wife and mother at home," Chu Ming said, "I know there is a Lanruo Temple nearby where you can sleep for free, let's go there." ”
What are you kidding, Ning Caichen doesn't go to Lanruo Temple, how can he open a copy, the ghost knows if the plot has changed.
How could Chu Ming let Ning Caichen invite him to the inn.
Chu Ming didn't know the secret method of sound insulation yet, so his voice was heard by the others, and they were all scared and ran away, this was the person who rushed to Lanruo Temple.
Ning Caichen touched his head, a little puzzled, why everyone else fled, and even the shopkeeper of the store was trembling when he heard the three words of Lanruo Temple.
Ning Caichen only felt inexplicable.
"Zi doesn't careless about the story of the calendar," Ning Caichen felt that he had read the book of sages and sages, so there was no need to be afraid of anything.
Moreover, this was invited by Chu Ming, and Ning Caichen did not refuse, he was also a little moved by Chu Ming's statement, and wanted to go back and prepare some delicious food for his wife and mother.
"Brother Ning, accompany me to the pharmacy first," Chu Ming said.
"Brother Chu is sick?" Ning Caichen asked curiously, Chu Ming's heroic posture of killing eight bandits was deeply engraved in Ning Caichen's mind, Ning Caichen couldn't believe it, how could Chu Ming get sick, but if he didn't get sick, why did he go to the pharmacy?
You must know that in these days, pharmacies are not cheap, and some poor people do not go to pharmacies when they are sick.
"Buy some materials," Chu Ming said.
"Oh."
Subsequently, Chu Ming swept all the pharmacies in Dongguo County, bought some saltpeter powder and sulfur, and bought some charcoal in the farmer's firewood house, and mixed the three together according to the ratio of one sulfur, two nitrate and three charcoal, and made fifty or sixty explosive packets, which he carried on his back.
Then, he said to Ning Caichen: "Brother Ning, my preparations are done, let's go." ”
