Chapter 278: The Caravan of the Merchant
When the sun went down, the carriage stopped in front of a mountain road, Dian Hua pointed to this mountain road, and said to Li Fei and Zhang Jun: "This mountain road is the only way to do business, your experience is on this mountain road, go, I am waiting for you at the end of the mountain road." ”
After putting down Li Fei and Zhang Jun, the carriage moved again, and disappeared in front of Li Fei and Zhang Jun after a while.
Li Fei and Zhang Jun are no longer the children they used to be, Dian Hua obviously has no idea of taking care, and unlike before, he gave specific requirements.
Li Fei and Zhang Jun have indeed grown up, and they are not in a hurry to act, but first began to observe and analyze, and then decide on the next action.
Li Fei opened his yin and yang eyes, looked at the endless mountains, and said to Zhang Jun: "Senior brother, although these mountains are not more than 100 zhang, they are in a continuous trend, and the power of feng shui gathered is a lot, it can be said to be a treasure land of feng shui! Looking at the sparsely populated appearance in this vicinity, I am afraid that these precious spiritual qi are cheaper than the birds and beasts in the mountain, there should be a lot of monsters in it, right?"
Zhang Jun turned on the Qi Lookout Technique, and while scanning the mountains, he nodded solemnly and said: "The demonic qi in the mountains is very heavy, and the demonic qi in different mountains is thick and shallow, which shows that the monsters above are strong and weak, more and less, and the number of these monsters together is really a lot." ”
"But if you just hunt these monsters, it's too easy, right?" Thinking of Huang Ren's task just now, Li Feimei analyzed: "The first thing Master said just now is that this is 'the only way for merchants'? Does this mean that there are bad monsters that eat people, and there are good monsters that don't eat people, and our task is to distinguish them, just to eliminate those bad monsters?"
Zhang Jun agreed: "We went to Huangjia Village first, and then we will make sense of this task!"
Zhang Jun frowned slightly and raised the difficulty of this mission: "Monsters are different from our human race, our human race will have a bloody aura when they kill, and monsters will kill people or even eat people, there is no bloody qi. It's like we hunt and eat those animals. How to tell if they are good or bad is the difficulty!"
Li Fei nodded and said, "I heard you mean that you can't judge directly through the Qi Hope Technique?"
Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "Wangqi is broad and profound, it is naturally possible, but it only needs a certain realm to do it! ”
Li Fei nodded in understanding and said: "It seems that we can't rely too much on spells, we should outwit from other aspects, with my understanding of Master, Master should give a hint ...... 'business'?
"Do you need to ask the merchants for some information?" Zhang Jun looked back at the group of merchants who were getting closer and closer, and said to Li Fei: "Senior sister, a group of merchants is here, just ask them if you want to know any information." ”
Li Fei looked back at the group of merchants who were getting closer and closer, and said, "Just ask?" Li Fei shook his head and smiled: "I have an idea, why don't we just blend in with their merchant team and follow them?"
Zhang Jun actually advocates direct inquiry, clean and neat, and does not waste time, and is not very much in favor, but he is now accustomed to listening to Li Fei, the senior sister, although he has the heart to oppose it, but it is not strong, and he hesitated to ask: "Master is waiting for us at the end of the mountain road, will it be a waste of time like this?"
"Master didn't determine the time, nor did he say that the sooner the better? Li Fei clapped.
Zhang Jun wondered if this was something Li Fei had recently read about the merchant and wanted to experience the life of the merchant himself?
Although he felt that this was nonsense, Zhang Jun actually agreed to Li Fei's proposal in his heart, but he complained: "This experience and tempering should not be the same word, right?"
Li Fei waved his hand: "It's okay to be serious, it's okay when the meaning arrives!Okay, they're almost here, let's hurry up and get ready!"
Zhang Jun reluctantly followed Li Fei to complete the disguise.
Boss Hu, who was over middle age, led the way in front, followed by more than a dozen young adults, each carrying a firewood knife at his waist and carrying a large bamboo basket half a person high, which contained food and bedding, which was the goods they wanted to sell.
From afar, I heard Hu Laoda's loud voice: "Big guy hold on, and then cross this mountain road, we will reach the destination! The people there do not weave, and the land route is not broken, since the waterway is broken, the price of cloth there has doubled tenfold, the most important thing is that there is a copper mine, the copper mine is very cheap, the price is only one percent of our side, and when we come back, we will buy some copper mines, and the price of the outside here will be a hundred times worse, and this time the business will be enough for our family to eat and drink for half a year!"
Boss Hu obviously didn't say this for the first time, and the young adults behind him didn't react much, but the tiredness in his eyes was obviously much less, and he slowed down his pace and raised it again.
A young man coaxed: "Boss Hu, you're all the way to this, is it okay to change your rhetoric?"
"Yes, change one, change another" The other young adults heckled.
Boss Hu laughed and said, "You stinky boys, do you want to hear me say meat jokes again?" Boss Hu was about to say, when he saw the intersection of the road that must be passed, there were two lonely merchants, two of them were about fifteen or sixteen years old, a man and a woman, and the boy was deliberately half a body behind, it seemed that he was a junior, and he should be a sister and brother.
Although it is rare for women to come out to be merchants, it is not uncommon, and if some merchants are left with only young and strong people in their families, they often come to a young and strong mobilization, and even women have to follow the businessmen.
How do they squat at the intersection?
The first thing that came to Boss Hu's mind was that they should have fallen behind! Not all team leaders were as talkative as Boss Hu, some team leaders were very strict, and in order to avoid danger, they would go more quickly on a certain section of the road, and they would not wait for anyone who was left alone.
Doing business is a very dangerous business, especially now that the world is full of demons and monsters, you must be cautious!
After all, those who can become the team leader are all people with real skills and convincing people, who are old-timers in the business, and these experiences are all exchanged for their lives, and their unsatisfactory choices are sometimes to save more people.
However, Boss Hu is more capable, more confident, if it is convenient, he is willing to be a kind person and help the lonely children, if he does not help, these lonely businessmen will often be more auspicious!
After all, he had also been singled out back then, if he hadn't met a kind merchant leader, he would have died a long time ago, and there would be no Boss Hu now.
And Boss Hu also has his own stunt - intuition! Boss Hu's intuition is particularly accurate, generally speaking, as long as he is a bad person, he feels very unpleasant when he sees this person, and instinctively feels disgusted, and if he looks at a person pleasing to the eye, then this person must be a good person who will not hurt him.
Boss Hu looked at the two lonely children, and at a glance, it was very pleasing to the eye, and he was even more determined in his choice, and stepped forward to ask: "What do you call the two of you? Are you alone? Do you want to join my caravan?"
Li Fei saw Boss Hu, wanted to step forward but didn't dare to step forward, heard Boss Hu's inquiry, quickly stood up, and replied with a grateful face: "My name is Zhang Fei, this is my brother Zhang Chong, we are alone, this is not in the village and not in the store, our sister and brother are worried and don't know what to do, thank you, thank you, we are really lucky, we have met a good Samaritan!"
Boss Hu laughed and said, "You can call me Boss Hu, come along." ”
The caravan of this merchant has always been composed of the same village, the same town, or the same square of a county, and is led by an experienced old merchant who has run many times as a caravan.
Although many people in the caravan disagreed, the rules of the caravan were very large, and the leader of the caravan was the one who spoke and had absolute authority, and under normal circumstances, no one objected to the decision made by the leader, even if it was very unreasonable.
Li Fei followed behind Boss Hu with great gratitude, added a plug with Zhang Jun, and mixed into the merchant's business insurance.
Li Fei said to Zhang Jun proudly in a secret voice: "How about it, senior sister is out of the horse, there is nothing that can't be done!" Things went very smoothly, which inevitably made Li Fei proud.
Zhang Jun shook his head and didn't pay attention to such Li Fei.
Li Fei saw that Zhang Jun ignored him and stopped talking to him, so he began to talk to Boss Hu: "Boss Hu, you have walked this road many times, right? Is this mountain road safe? Why do I always feel that this mountain road is very dangerous?"
Boss Hu didn't expect that Li Fei, a little girl, would have such a keen intuition, and couldn't help but think that the leader who asked him to join the caravan back then also had a very keen intuition, and it was also through that person's teaching, Boss Hu knew how to apply his keen intuition, Boss Hu felt a little trance, and the scene in front of him was like a reincarnation.
It's a pity that Li Fei is a girl, and if his younger brother had such a keen intuition, he would definitely accept him as a disciple.
However, with this layer of similarities, Boss Hu became more kind to Li Fei, and said with a smile: "You are not mistaken, it is indeed very dangerous here, but there is no danger." In this mountain, there is a Taoist temple, and the immortal masters in it are all really capable of driving away those powerful birds and beasts to ensure the safety of us traders. ”
Li Fei was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect that there would be a Taoist temple here, listening to what Boss Hu meant, it sounded like Sister Tongling's royal beast lineage, however, Sister Tongling said that they did not establish their own Taoist temple in the imperial beast lineage, and this Taoist temple should not be a Taoist temple of the imperial beast lineage.
"Where's that Taoist temple?"
"Not far ahead of us is the blue mountainside, and at the foot of the mountain there is a mountain lodge, and that lodge is where we will stay tonight. The people in this mountain villa are also strange, they don't want money, as a reward, as long as we exchange some interesting stories and folk rumors outside. Boss Hu sighed.
Li Fei's eyes lit up, she knew where this was, this was the place where the Qingqiu Tushan clan lived in seclusion!
As a big family, the Qingshan Tushan clan naturally has a mountain villa and a forbidden land, and that mountain villa should be the Tushan clan's mountain villa, and the cyan hill is the green hill, where their forbidden place is.
In the past ten months, Li Fei has read a lot of books in the Daozang, which have an introduction to the family family, which is similar to the Jishui Qi family, and the various family families in Dazhen are composed of three parts: the outer mansion, the mountain villa and the forbidden land.
The outer mansion is in the county seat, and the mountain villa and the forbidden land are in a feng shui treasure land between dozens of miles to hundreds of miles away from the county seat.
This was an agreement between the royal family and the great families he defeated. Of course, in this world, many rules should have been abolished. Some families have officially joined the WTO, taken over the fiefdom, and are only one name away from re-ascending to the position of princes.
"It turns out that this is Tushui County, which is 'a Tushui with mountains', and this should be Qingqiu County of the red sorghum of the Qingqiu Tushan clan.
"I have heard that the Qingqiu Tushan clan is a minority of moderates in the family, the fief is barren and does not want to forge ahead, there is no desire to dominate the world, has been very peaceful and self-controlled, is the focus of the royal family, and the book says that the woman of the Qingshan Tushan clan is famous and beautiful, and is one of the most common marriages of the royal family.
"It is said that the current Princess An is from the Qingqiu Tushan clan. Li Fei listened to Boss Hu's words, was in a trance, and muttered softly.
Boss Hu didn't expect Li Fei's reaction to be so big, just a sentence, he was distracted, and he couldn't help muttering there. Li Fei's voice was too small, and he said it quickly, Boss Hu didn't hear it clearly, so he asked curiously: "What did you say?"
Li Fei came back to his senses and hurriedly said: "It's nothing, it's just that I didn't expect that there is a mountain villa and a Taoist temple in this mountain." ”
Hu Lao smiled and wanted to say something, but suddenly as if he had found something, he looked at Li Fei carefully, and the more he looked at it, the more he wrinkled, and finally stopped, distanced himself from Li Fei, frowned, and asked with a wary face: "Girl, you sisters and brothers, aren't you businessmen?"
Boss Hu's reaction played a trivial reaction, and the caravan members behind skillfully and quickly drew out their firewood knives and dispersed, surrounding Li Fei and Zhang Jun in the middle.
