10 Simple, straightforward, and brutal
Waving goodbye to everyone, Su Zimu followed behind Ji Gongming and officially joined the caravan
From beginning to end, he didn't dare to look back, for fear that he wouldn't be able to suppress the sadness in his heart.
Don't say anything about the pretentiousness of the old man, people are emotional animals, from the time to the present, more than three years, more than a thousand days and nights, he and Xu's father and daughter are accompanied day and night, if there is no wave in the heart, is it still a person?
It wasn't until he was arranged in a car by Ji Gongming that he quietly turned around and took a peek.
On the way here, there was no familiar figure.
It's okay to save yourself another uncomfortable time.
But the full loss can't be hidden, as if a piece is missing in my heart.
As the sky grew brighter, a loud shout came from ahead: "Let's go!" ”
For a while, the mules and horses neighed, and in the shouting and scolding of the drivers, more than a dozen cars lined up and marched forward in turn.
The horses pulling the cart look ordinary, but their chests are covered with scales similar to the color of their coat, and their hooves are the size of plates, and they bang on the bluestone-paved road with a loud sound.
Su Zimu jumped into the carriage full of boxes, sat on the box more than one person high, saw that it was quite flat, and simply put his bags under his head and lay there in a daze.
After a while, the convoy arrived at the edge of Xianfang, a clear demarcation, isolating Xianfang from the outside world, with many houses on the roads inside the boundary, and lush vegetation and green trees outside the boundary, which were completely two different worlds.
That boundary is actually a large array guarding the Immortal Fang, it is invisible and qualitative, like a transparent bowl covering the Immortal Fang.
Ji Gongming, who was walking in the forefront, took out a jade carved token, and he didn't know what means he used, the light on the token flashed, and the big array immediately opened a passage.
The convoy continued to move forward, and after leaving the bluestone road in Xianfang, the carriage was bumpy.
Su Zimu looked up at the sky, I don't know if it's an illusion, the sky outside the realm seems to be bluer.
At this moment, a familiar shout suddenly came from the side of the road: "Little curtain-"
Su Zimu sat up suddenly, and when he turned his head, he saw Xu Ning standing on the side of the road, waving at him with his arms raised.
Behind Xu Ning, there stood Bian Yuming with a smile on his face, and Xu Yun with a dark face.
Su Zimu smiled, raised his hand and shook it vigorously, letting Xu Ning see himself.
Suddenly, his heart was steady.
It turns out that in this world, there are still people who are concerned about him.
The last car drove out of Xianfang, and the large array closed again, isolating the inside and outside.
Su Zimu clearly saw that Xu Ning had been standing there until he could no longer see each other.
His heart was lost again, but in addition to the loss, there were also worries and bonds.
The trees on the left and right sides were very tall and dense, and he lay down again, but he could only see a glimmer of sky, which was a very transparent and pure blue, which made his impetuous heart slowly calm down.
I can't remember where I read a sentence, a person in this life, but life and death, he has already died once, and now he just wants to live well.
Live well in a completely different way!
Under the car, the two accompanying guards exchanged glances and jumped into the car together.
One of them had a square face in his early thirties, with a twisted scar under the left corner of his eye; The other is twenty-seven or eighteen, with a narrow chin and high cheekbones, and a mouth full of rotten teeth with a yellow background and black edges.
Out of the most basic courtesy, Su Zimu turned over and sat up, and was about to move his bag to his side, when Heiya suddenly reached out and pressed his bag: "Yo, what kind of treasure is this?" ”
Su Zimu frowned, his arm was forced, and he pulled his bag back with a swipe on the ground.
"Hey, my temper is quite rushing!" Black Fang grinned, "Little brother, isn't your cultivation good?" ”
"I didn't cultivate." Su Zimu said lightly.
Ji Gongming knew this, there was no need to hide it at all - there were still long and short fingers stretched out, in terms of relatives and distance, how could he, a hurried passer-by who temporarily added stops, compare with the guards in the team?
Hei Ya showed a sudden look, stretched out the movement, and the only vigilance in his eyes turned into disdain: "I said, hehe, little brother, if you can meet here, it is also our brother's fate, as long as you give our brothers a little benefit, I didn't say it, from now on, our brothers will cover you!" ”
Scarface didn't speak, and he always looked like he was smiling.
Su Zimu sighed, these two people have a hole in their brains, right?
is still the same sentence, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and it is not strange to bully newcomers and extort money, but after hearing that he is not a monk, these two goods don't even bother to cover up, and directly blatantly ask for benefits, and they have no intention of avoiding it at all.
Su Zimu didn't know what the organizational structure of the caravan was, but just looking at the style of these two people and the ignorance of others, he knew that this team was just a rabble.
Suppressing the urge to leave the caravan and return to Xianfang immediately, Su Zimu suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Steward Ji!" ”
The voice spread far away, and Scarface and Black Fang's faces changed dramatically.
The team stopped suddenly, Ji Gongming's face turned pale, and he rushed to the back of the team: "Su Zimu, what are you shouting!" Just you can talk isn't it! ”
"I'm sorry." Su Zimu shrugged his shoulders insincerely, "I just want to ask, Uncle Yun has all the money that should be given, right?" ”
Seeing Scarface and Black Fang sitting in the car, Ji Gongming knew what was going on, pointed at the two and shouted: "Get out of front for me!" ”
Scarface and Black Fang didn't say a word, and walked away.
Su Zimu showed a harmless smile from humans and animals: "Steward Ji, in this way, I don't have to give anyone any more benefits, right?" ”
"Yes!" Ji Gongming roared indignantly, turned around and walked forward.
"Thank you!" Su Zimu raised his voice.
He knew very well that it would be no good to offend Scarface and Black Fang, and that as long as they found an opportunity, they would definitely give him small shoes to wear.
But he would rather offend these two people and Ji Gongming together, rather than give them any benefits, otherwise the others will look at it, hey, this kid is rich and still like this?
Well, wait for the others to line up to him for favors.
Therefore, we must not back down when it is time to be tough, otherwise it will seem to solve the immediate troubles, but it will bring long-term hidden dangers.
He didn't take the hatred of these two people to heart, since Ji Gongming had already come forward, looking for trouble was tantamount to slapping Ji Gongming in the face.
And it's better for two people to find trouble for him than for everyone to come to him, right?
Thumbs up for his wit, Su Zimu continued to lie in the car in a daze, but he wondered where to find an opportunity.
Just swaying all the way, it didn't feel like it was long before the sun was setting in the west.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, a vacant lot appeared on the side of the road, and Ji Gongming immediately ordered to camp and rest.
Don't think that Ji Gongming's brain is pumping, it gets dark early in the mountains, and there will be an hour at most, and there will definitely be no discussion about the mountain.
When you go out, you must prepare everything in advance, and when it comes to the end, it will be too late.
