Ning Caichen was embarrassed.

He was a poor scholar.

He came to Guobei County to collect debts.

It's not safe on the road.

Natural disasters and man-made disasters are continuous, demons are numerous, and bandits are everywhere.

The last person who came to Guobei County to collect the debts is dead.

Ning Caichen, a useless scholar, has no power to restrain the chicken, dares to go on the road alone, with a map and compass, to collect accounts in Guobei County, he should be poor and can't open the pot.

He carried a broken umbrella and went to a grass hut on the side of the road to take shelter from the rain.

He was soaking wet.

He twisted his robe and wanted to take a break. I was hungry, but unfortunately I ran out of dry food.

At this moment, a group of people ran over shouting.

Someone was chasing after them.

There was only one person who chased him, a strong man with a sword in his thirties. He is a Xiahou swordsman.

He swung the long sword in his hand, and with a single sword, he cut off his head.

Just chased to the edge of the grass hut.

Xiahou swordsman divided five by two and killed several people.

Only one person was left kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy, "Uncle, spare your life!" I'll give you the money back. ”

"You dare to steal Lao Tzu's money, damn it." The Xiahou swordsman shouted angrily, and killed the last thief with a sword. Blood splattered everywhere and directly splashed on Ning Caichen's face.

It turned out that the Xiahou swordsman was chasing and killing the person who stole his money.

He's not killing innocents.

Xiahou swordsman walked into the grass hut.

Ning Caichen was so frightened that he walked outside the grass hut.

At this time, it was still raining.

The blood on his face was washed away.

The Xiahou swordsman seems to be killing and starving.

He took out a white-flour steamed bun and nibbled on it.

He is a martial arts man, he doesn't drink alcohol and eat beef, maybe he is also short of money.

Ning Caichen swallowed his saliva, he was hungry.

Xiahou swordsman also saw that Ning Caichen was hungry.

He actually threw a steamed bun to Ning Caichen.

He had no ill will towards Ning Caichen.

He didn't bully.

He is a man who can be regarded as principled.

Although, when a thief stole his money, he killed the thief, but he did not attack innocent passers-by.

Here, some people may complain, isn't it just stealing money, why do you want to kill all the thieves?

In this era, people who dare to steal money may have human lives in their hands, and maybe thieves want to kill Xiahou swordsmen.

Xiahou swordsmen had no choice but to kill them.

He didn't say a word, and motioned for Ning Caichen to eat steamed buns.

Then, without waiting for the rain to stop, Xiahou swordsman took his luggage and left.

He seemed to be on his way.

After the Xiahou swordsman left, Ning Caichen directly threw the white-flour steamed buns, picked up his luggage, and hurriedly fled.

This is the second time he has thrown steamed buns.

He threw away his own dry hard steamed buns, and then threw the white-flour steamed buns given by Xiahou Swordsman.

In this era, there are not many people who can waste food like this, and a poor scholar like Ning Caichen, under normal circumstances, will not be like this.

Ning Caichen rushed all the way to Guobei County.

The streets are full of knife-wielding men who have captured fugitives.

"This one is kind of like, take it away." They're arresting people at random.

On the wanted wall, there are many wanted notices for fugitives, and there are also portraits painted on them.

A few men wearing iron armor who looked like soldiers directly removed their portraits and arrested people at random for comparison.

It seems that anyone who looks like a little bit will be caught and rewarded. They wore black headscarves around their heads.

"It's not you, go away, don't get in the way!"

They don't catch people who really don't look like them. The government that offered the bounty was not stupid.

The black-turbaned soldier swaggered away. They continue to arrest people.

Ning Caichen was in a shop, borrowed some water, and scrubbed it. He was covered in mud on the road.

"Boss, thank you for the water." Ning Caichen is still relatively polite.

He was just about to pick up his luggage and leave.

"Don't go!" Several other men wearing iron armor and red turbans came over, grabbed Ning Caichen, and pressed him to the wooden plank behind him.

They are supposed to be pawns too.

They also had a lot of wanted notices in their hands, and compared them with Ning Caichen one by one, and found that none of them could match them.

"If you're not a wanted criminal, go away, don't get in the way of my fortune." The Red Turban soldier is gone.

Ning Caichen hurriedly took his luggage and left.

His clothes were wet.

There are a lot of exorcism talismans on the wooden board just now.

He had several talismans glued to his back.

"Hey, don't go." The shopkeeper hurriedly called out to Ning Caichen.

The shopkeeper's 'don't go' let the nearby soldiers hear it.

They thought there was a fugitive and rushed over.

Then, the red turban soldiers and the black turban soldiers fought without saying a word.

This kind of world is too chaotic.

It is difficult for ordinary people to survive, and they can only be coerced into being bandits or something.

...

Inn.

"Xiao Er, a pound of beef and a pot of good wine." Zhou Qiang is here. After he cast the Jiupin Jindan, he suddenly had a whim and wanted to go for a walk in Guobei County.

He flew directly to the county seat of Guobei County.

He flew away without a trace, not afraid of mortals finding out.

"Okay, a pound of beef, a pot of good wine!" The shopkeeper neatly helped Zhou Qiang wipe the table, and quickly brought the beef and wine up.

Zhou Qiang poured himself a drink and thought about what to do next.

"When you come to this era, the first thing you have to do is to cultivate.

Secondly, in addition to cultivation, you have to find something to do.

Those who practice pay attention to merit and can do good deeds that will help the people's livelihood..."

Zhou Qiang calculated casually. He didn't plan to leave anytime soon. He didn't know if there would be aura in the next world, and he wanted to cultivate here for a while.

A moment later.

Ning Caichen came.

"Guest officer, come to stay?" The shopkeeper saw that Ning Caichen was holding a lot of luggage, thinking that Ning Caichen wanted to stay, "Agen, take the luggage for the guests, there is just one upper room." ”

"No, no, no, boss, I was sent by Jibao Zhai to collect the debts." Ning Caichen hurriedly explained his intentions.

"Debt collection? Why is it that the people who come to collect the debts are different every time? The shopkeeper instantly put away his smile.

"The last time he was killed on the road."

"Really? Then you will be killed sooner or later, so it's better to simply cheapen me and stop collecting the bills. ”

"That's not going to work." Ning Caichen took out the account book, flipped through it, and was soaked in rain, and the words on it were no longer clear. He was in a hurry, "Shopkeeper, can I see your stubs?" This is the new rule. ”

"New rules?" The shopkeeper seemed to understand something, and snatched the account book, "What kind of account is this?" I can't see anything clearly. That's all I want to collect, get out, get out. He pushed Ning Caichen out.

Zhou Qiang shook his head, didn't care about things, continued to drink wine and eat meat, and asked the shopkeeper to pack a lot of cooked food and a jar of good wine.

Ning Caichen couldn't collect the account, and seeing that it was getting dark, he asked the passers-by nearby, "This brother, where can I stay overnight for free?" ”

"Free? Hehe, then you go to Lanruo Temple. Passers-by said casually. He's kidding. He thought Ning Caichen was also joking. As soon as he spoke, there was silence around him. Everyone here knows that there are ghosts in Lanruo Temple.

Ning Caichen was a nerd, he didn't see anything wrong, "Brother Tai, may I ask how to go to Lanruo Temple?" ”

"Go forward here, walk three and a half miles to the east, and you'll be there." Passers-by hesitated.

"Thank you." Ning Caichen walked east with his luggage on his back.

"Hey, there are a lot of wild wolves over there, and they come out after dark." Passers-by warned. He was afraid that the nerd in front of him would really go to death.

Ning Caichen didn't think so, and went all the way east.

Zhou Qiang had already eaten at this time, carried the packed things, and also headed east.

He was going to see Yan Chixia and Nie Xiaoqian.

After leaving the city.

Zhou Qiang called Ning Caichen, "This brother, but go to Lanruo Temple?" ”

"Yes, I heard that you can stay there for free, and I want to spend the night there." Ning Caichen was slightly embarrassed.

"It just so happens that I also want to go to Lanruo Temple, go together, go together." Zhou Qiang is also dressed as an ancient scholar.

"Brother Tai is also going to spend the night?"

"Yes."

"Brother, where are you from?"

"I am..."

The two chatted as they headed east.

It was getting dark very quickly.

In the woods.

The howl of the wild wolf rang out.

"Brother Zhou, there seems to be a wolf." Ning Caichen had already seen the wild wolf in the distance.

"Brother Ning, don't worry, a few wild wolves, you can send them away with a sword." Zhou Qiang had a sword hanging from his waist.

"Brother Zhou, I'll help you get something."

A moment later.

The wolf chased after him.

Zhou Qiang pulled out his long sword, the sword light flashed, and stabbed the wild wolves to death one by one.

"Brother Zhou is really good."

"Prizes. Brother Ning, let's continue on our way. ”

The two talked and laughed and walked to the vicinity of Lanruo Temple.

"Brother Ning, let's live. There's someone over there. "Zhou Qiang has already seen Yan Chixia and Xiahou Swordsman.

The two of them were about to compete with each other.
