Set off again
Shi Wunian didn't stay in Yellowstone for too long, and three days later he set off again, all the way east.
Under the archway in the east of Huangshi Town, everyone waved goodbye to Shi Wunian, who smiled and waved his hand and left backwards.
Shi Wunian walked out of a mile and saw a little girl sitting on a bluestone by the roadside.
"Jiu'er, so you came here! No wonder I didn't see you today. Shi Wunian said in surprise.
Jiu'er smiled and said, "Are you surprised, are you surprised?"
Shi Wunian smiled and poked Jiu'er's forehead twice with his fingertips and said, "Do you know that your grandfather is worried about it, so don't go back quickly." ”
Jiu'er said proudly: "You don't lie, I told my grandfather last night, he obviously knows that I'm fine, how can I worry!"
Shi Wunian said helplessly: "Look at your cleverness!"
Jiu'er continued to laugh and said: "And I also told grandpa that I will go out with you to explore the rivers and lakes in the future, grandpa not only did not object, but also happily asked me to come here and wait for you quickly, and said that I would marry you when I grow up, and I also agreed!"
Shi Wunian looked at Jiu'er, and Jiu'er looked at Shi Wunian with a smile. Ban Shi Wunian said: "Tell me quickly, this is not true!"
Jiu'er put on a small face and said, "This is true, let's go!" After speaking, she turned around and walked to the east, leaving Shi Wunian standing in place. Jiu'er walked out more than a dozen steps and turned around to see Shi Wunian's appearance. She laughed and said, "You've been fooled! You're so stupid." ”
Shi Wunian walked up to Jiu'er and gave her a chestnut lesson: "It's not good for children to learn anything, but they have to learn to deceive people." ”
Jiu'er covered her head and said aggrievedly: "You actually beat your future daughter-in-law, you are a bad person! And I am ten years old, not a child." ”
The poem was speechless, he really had no way to take this quirky little girl.
Jiu'er said: "Okay, I won't lie to you, I just want to send you alone, and by the way, ask if you will come back." ”
Shi Wunian said: "Yes, I will definitely come back!"
Jiu'er said, "How long will it take to come back?"
Shi Wunian said: "I don't know, but it should take ten or eight years! ”
Jiu'er said: "Then you can go quickly!"
Shi Wunian asked, "Why?"
Jiu'er said: "Because if you leave quickly, you can come back quickly!"
Shi Wunian tapped Jiu'er's forehead and said, "As far as you are clever, then I will really go." ”
Jiu'er nodded! Shi Wunian turned and left.
Shi Wunian walked more than ten zhang before he heard Jiu'er's voice come again: "Remember to come back early, if you don't come back when I grow up! ”
Shi Wunian said angrily: "Don't hurry back yet!"
Jiu'er's shout continued: "This time it's true, you must come back quickly......"
Shi Wunian fled in the wilderness, and did not slow down until he could not hear Jiu'er's voice.
There are more than 3,000 miles from Ping'an Town to Huangshi Town, and it took Shi Wunian twenty years, but that is because Shi Wunian is not in a hurry, and he can also use the beasts in the forest to sharpen his own skills. That's why he was able to cultivate by leaps and bounds in these two decades. The people of Yellowstone only know that hundreds of miles to the west are forests, and that's because they haven't been to Ping'an Town. I didn't know that the west side was actually an endless forest. And Huangshi Town is only more than 300 miles to the mountain, with the foot power of today's poetry without thoughts, if you run with all your might, it will not take a day to arrive. Although Shi Wunian wanted to get to those bustling cities as soon as possible to buy some books. But he still didn't go all out, and it took him three days to reach the mountain.
Mountain is a small city with a population of tens of thousands, because the southwest region of Mountain is rich in iron ore, and the Western Chu State established a city here to be responsible for mining iron ore. Because the west is an endless forest, so the defense of the mountain ** is like a fictitious, the guard guarding the door not only just asked a few words and then let Shi Wunian enter the city, but also kindly reminded the hillbilly from this small place that if you go to the real big city, you need to have a customs clearance document to enter and exit freely, the guard also told Shi Wunian that the mountain ** because of the small population, so encourage outsiders like him to settle their place of origin here, just need to go to the city lord's mansion to record and register. After Shi Wunian thanked the soldiers, he first went to the city lord's mansion to get the customs clearance papers, and then found an inn to live in.
Dinner time is the most lively time in the inn restaurant, people after a day of tiredness, in the evening naturally want to relax the tired body, so a few friends of wine and meat to go to the restaurant to eat and drink Kan Dashan has become a good choice, so the restaurant has become the most well-informed place.
As soon as Shi Wunian sat down under the leadership of Xiao Er, he heard the sound of discussion at the next table, and Shi Wunian casually asked for some food and listened to the topic they were talking about.
One of them, a bearded man with a bare chest and exposed breasts, said in a loud voice: "I'm afraid this mission is not easy to accept, although the reward is quite attractive, but there are already two groups of people who have died in that cave pit! And there is also a master of the Condensation Realm who has not been able to escape." If we rush in, I'm afraid we won't even know how to die. ”
A thin man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks echoed: "Yes, yes, we can't be carried away by the immediate benefits, just with a few of us, it is estimated that we will be used as guns by others if we go, and the benefits will not be our turn." ”
A man with a grim face with a hooked nose scolded the thin man: "Hou San, you fucking young people grow up here to destroy their own prestige, how can I say that I Yin Li and Brother Da Chun are also in the Qi Condensation Realm, not to mention that Brother Da Chun is also a master of the quadruple peak of the Qi Condensation Realm." There are only a handful of people in this mountain who can compete with Brother Dachun, you tell me who can use us as gunmen?"
The thin man Hou San seemed to be very afraid of the sinister man, and after being reprimanded, he promised not to say anything. The bearded man said in an urn voice: "Brother Yin, don't want to praise me, I have a few catties and taels in Cheng Dachun, and I have a number of people in my own chest, and there are many people who are stronger than me in this mountain, not to mention that the city lord is still a master of building the foundation realm." ”
Yin Li said: "Then we can't just give up like this? Could it be that Brother Da Chun is not interested in that human level exercise?"
The bearded man Cheng Dachun said after some thought: "Just a few of us, even if we go, there is not much hope, but we can win over some more people, as long as there are enough people, I think we can have a place there." ”
Hou San echoed: "Yes, there must be many people who want to go but don't dare to go now, we can win them over, and then we can use them to explore the way." ”
Cheng Dachun lowered his face and said, "Hou San, if I'm not mistaken, you were still worried about being used as a gunman just now, why did you think about using others as a gunman so quickly?"
Hou San didn't dare to say more, so he had to laugh and make amends!
Cheng Dachun continued: "You remember for me, I don't care what others do, but I, Cheng Dachun, definitely have to be a person. ”
Seeing the embarrassing scene, the rest of the people all came out one after another to play a round and said: "Brother Da Chun is righteous and chivalrous! It's just that Hou San was scared, so he said that kind of bastard words, Brother Da Chun, don't take it to heart." ”
Cheng Dachun snorted coldly and said, "I hope this kind of thing will not be an example!"
Hou San hurriedly expressed his loyalty and said: "I damn it, I will never dare next time, I will punish myself for three bowls!"
Hou San got drunk and unconscious after drinking three bowls in a row, and he didn't know whether he was pretending to be drunk or really drunk! Cheng Dachun had to ask someone to send him back to the second floor to rest, and after discussing some things about recruiting people to join the army, they all went back to their houses to rest.
Shi Wunian called Xiao Er and asked, "Do you know what the task was just now?"
Xiao Er replied: "Childe just came to our mountain, right?"
Seeing Shi Wunian nodded, Xiao Er spat and said in a traverse, it turned out that the biggest task of the City Lord's Mansion was to be responsible for mining the iron ore veins distributed in the southwest of the mountain, but a month ago, a miner discovered a gold ore vein, and the miner reported this matter to the City Lord's Mansion, and the city lord was overjoyed and rewarded the miner with one hundred taels of silver. But soon after the official gold mining was completed, something went wrong, and at one point several miners suddenly disappeared, and at first I thought that the miners had stolen the gold and slipped away. But when someone was sent to investigate, something happened again, and when the group of people who had gone to investigate came back, they found that there were fewer people in the same group. And the people who came back said that they found a lot of scattered white bones in the depths of the mine, presumably the bones of those missing miners, and in such a situation, the city lord could only send someone to investigate again, this time he asked everyone not to act separately, and the second time it really worked. They finally saw the thing in the ground, it was a white snake with a length of three feet, as soon as they saw everyone, it began to eat people, several guards of the city lord's mansion who were not weak were swallowed by the white snake, and the rest of the people ran out of the mine in fear. Those who escaped also said that it was probably because the White Snake had eaten enough that they were able to escape. So now the miners are panicked, and they don't dare to go down to the cave to mine, and the city lord has no choice, because he is not sure what the strength of the white snake is. So I can only issue a task, and if someone can solve the white snake, no matter how bad it is, we must first find out the details of it. As for the reward for the task, I heard that it is a thousand taels of gold and a one-person rank exercise.
Shi Wunian gave a small piece of broken silver at the checkout, and Xiao Er was so happy that he shouted "Thank you, son"!
Shi Wunian returned to the house and secretly thought that he had the "Hao Qi Jue" taught by his master, which should not be comparable to that person-level exercise, so that exercise was of no use to himself. But he really had no money, and in the last two years of his stay in Ping'an Town, because he began to cultivate, he not only hunted a lot of prey that he had previously stayed away from, but also picked a lot of rare medicinal materials. And the money he got in exchange for these things almost cost him a lot just by walking to the mountain.
So Shi Wunian decided to set a small goal for himself first, and earn him a thousand taels of gold first.
