Volume 1: Forsaken Lands Chapter 17: The Red Rope

Kong Laosan's pseudonym Kong Fei temporarily lived in the Water and Salt Gang like this.

Now the water and salt gang has no leader, Kong Da is in a coma again, and everyone seems to be panicked, but due to the change of Yifanmen, the water and salt gang has Su Hongzhen in charge, so not only did the power not shrink, but took advantage of the situation to take over the docks to which Yifan Gate belonged, and even due to the lack of manpower in the water and salt gang, they had to abandon a few.

In this way, the power of the Water and Salt Gang has expanded dramatically, and the oil and water are sufficient, and these men naturally work hard.

Half a day later, Kong Laosan walked out of the room, at this moment Kong Laosan with a touch of joy in his eyes, holding a pale yellow jade bottle in his hand to Kong Da's room, after a few hours of rummaging and querying, Kong Laosan has already figured out the efficacy of those pills in the bag, these pills were originally obtained from the evil Taoist, because he did not know the specific effect of the pills, he has been hidden by Kong Laosan, and now it is fine.

Intermittent pill, connected to bones and tendons, even if an immortal cultivator is broken by someone, he can be completely connected within a few days, and it is an elixir for secular mortals.

This kind of elixir for the treatment of elders is the most common elixir in the immortal cultivation world, and the price is not expensive, but the kind of elixir that can directly increase the spiritual power in the monk's body is extremely rare, after all, most ordinary monks will take this elixir by themselves, and there are not many that are really used for trading, like the previous kind of marrow washing pill is one of them.

The marrow washing pill is suitable for cultivators in the Qi refining period, one pill can be worth the effect of a cultivator meditating for three days, if there is a large amount of this pill to take, even if the qualification is ordinary, I am afraid that it can reach the high level of Qi refining in a short time.

However, generally speaking, this kind of realm that relies on drugs to promote is easy to cause instability in the foundation, and it seems that the realm has improved a lot in a short period of time, but what is damaged is the foundation of one's future avenue. Therefore, cultivators with true mental perseverance and tenacity rarely take the initiative to take pills to improve their cultivation.

However, for most low-level cultivators, this elixir was still extremely precious, and in some Xianmenfang markets, it could even be directly exchanged for trading currency.

Half an hour later, Kong Laosan walked out of Kong's big room, and after summoning Su Hongzhen to ask about something, he hid in the room to refine qi and meditate, refusing to waste a trace of time.

Two days later, Kong Da finally woke up from the coma, but at this moment Kong Da was very weak, and after learning what had happened in the last few days, he struggled to get up from the bed and met Kong Laosan and Su Hongzhen in person.

It's just that what made Kong Laosan smile bitterly was that Kong Da had heard of Su Hongzhen's name, but he didn't have any impression of his own brother.

Kong Laosan didn't care about this, after all, the two brothers hadn't seen each other for many years, and when Kong Da left home, he was still a doll a few years old, and now he has long been like a human being.

With the secret assistance of Kong Laosan's elixir, but in just a few days, Kong Da's body has improved.

Three days later, in the evening, Kong Da took a small sedan chair and quietly left the Water and Salt Gang. On the roof, Kong Laosan quietly watched Kong Da leave, as if he knew where Kong Da was going, a trace of complexity appeared in his eyes, and his figure flashed, and he had turned into a black shadow and followed silently.

Two hours later, the sedan chair stopped at a gathering place for the people in the west of Yu'er City, at this moment Kong Da had changed his dress, wearing a somewhat tattered coat on his body, and carrying two bags of things wrapped in oiled paper in his hands, which looked no different from ordinary poor people, and the four men beside him were also dressed up with ease.

A moment later, Kong Da came to the only restaurant here, but a man with a tiger tattoo on his face quietly left the team, walked straight to an ordinary courtyard, and knocked lightly on the door.

Not long after, a five or six-year-old melon baby with a pigtail on his head, a red belly pocket, and an exposed ass ran out of the yard, and when he saw Qian Hu, he immediately became jubilant.

"Uncle Qian, are you here, are you here to find your aunt? Wait a minute, I'll help you call her!"

The little guy squeezed his eyebrows and grimaced, with a quirky face.

"Hehe, Nian San, come, this is what my uncle brought to you, and my uncle is waiting in the restaurant opposite!"

Qian Hu smiled, touched the little guy's head, and handed over the two packets of oil paper in his hand.

In less than half a meal, a woman with a three-point resemblance to Kong Da came to the restaurant.

The woman in front of her was in her twenties, with an ordinary appearance, her hair was a little messy, and her face was haggard.

The person who came was his second sister, Kong Xiuni.

Kong Laosan clearly remembered that the second sister married a showman from a neighboring village, but for some reason she appeared here, and it seemed that she was not having a good time.

In the corner, Kong Laosan, who was disguised, looked at the two of them in a daze, with a complicated look on his face. Kong Da left home since he was a child, and Kong Laosan was not impressed by this eldest brother. And because the second sister is not far from married, her mother took her to visit twice when she was young, and the relationship between the sister and brother is not bad.

Kong Laosan sighed in his heart, the conversation between the two was heard clearly, and when he heard the five or six-year-old child called Nian San, Kong Laosan's heart suddenly gave birth to a trace of throbbing, and he kept muttering the name in his mouth.

"Kong Nian San, Nian San...... Is it my family who is missing me......?

At the beginning, my mother fled with a pair of children, and it was not easy for me to survive, I am afraid that in the hearts of my family, I am no longer alive.

Half an hour later, Kong Da got up and left, and Kong Xiuni had an extra heavy package in her hand, and she didn't have to guess that Kong Laosan knew that it must be some silver money.

After Kong Da left, the second sister Kong Xiuni poured a sip of stuffy wine alone, stimulated by the spicy smell of wine, and coughed a few times.

Kong Laosan thought about it, but after all, he still didn't come forward to see him. About an hour later, Kong Xiuni got up and left with a lot of heart, but instead of walking towards the courtyard where she lived, she carried the cloth bag and came to a nearby wooden-tiled house that looked a little old.

There was a circle of bamboo branches and wooden fences around the tiled house, which could be regarded as a wide area in the surrounding area, Kong Xiuni came to the door and knocked lightly.

Kong Laosan has been following Kong Xiuni, when he saw these tiled houses, Kong Laosan suddenly felt as heavy as lead under his feet, and he couldn't move a step anymore, and two figures appeared in his heart unconsciously, and gradually, the corners of Kong Laosan's eyes moistened a little, "Father, mother, you ...... Are you alright?"

Kong Laosan muttered in his heart, and after a while, there was a "squeak", and a slightly rickety figure appeared in front of Kong Laosan's eyes, at this moment Kong Laosan only felt a shock all over his body, and the strength on his body seemed to be completely drained, and his face was full of tears.

The mother has a lot of gray hair than at the beginning, her back is much more rickety, her face is wrinkled, and she is pulling a five or six-year-old girl with her left hand.

The girl's wrist is the same as Kong Da, tied with a slightly rustic braided red rope, and at the same time holds two in her hand, seeing Kong Xiuni arrive, the girl hurriedly hid behind her mother, revealing a pair of big gurgling eyes and secretly looking at her second sister, who was a little shy, looking very shy.

At the time of the separation, Kong Ya, who was still in infancy, had also grown into a slim girl, and at this moment, Kong Laosan felt like a world away.

Seeing Kong Xiuni coming, Kong's mother seemed very happy, and Kong Xiuni lost her previous sorrow in the restaurant, with a warm smile on her face from beginning to end.

Just when the three of them were in harmony, Confucius didn't know what to say, and the original scene of the three of them talking and laughing had a momentary stagnation. Immediately, Kong Mu wiped the corners of her eyes and took two red ropes from Kong Ya's hands, one of which was tied to Kong Xiuni's wrist herself, and the other was hung on the old willow tree that had just sprouted in front of the door......

Kong Laosan quietly looked at the scene in front of him, after all, he didn't come forward to recognize him, those ordinary days in the past have become extravagant hopes, and I am afraid that he will never be able to go back. At the moment when the door was closed, Kong Laosan's heart shook violently, and he seemed to have lost something important in his life.

looked at the red rope on the old willow tree, and then looked up at the sky, at this moment, Kong Laosan felt a trace of loneliness, and a sense of desolation surfaced in his heart.

Two days later, in the evening, Kong Laosan, who also had a red rope tied to his left wrist, came to the depths of the alley and found the courtyard where the two brothers lived together.

At the first glance of Kong Laosan, Xiao Yinzi, who was taking care of Xiao Yu'er on the bed, turned red with excitement, and knelt directly in front of Kong Laosan......

After three hours, Kong Laosan left a burden, left the Water and Salt Gang directly, and stepped into the night without knowing where to go.

==============================

Moxiang Mountain, an inconspicuous small mountain range in Jiangzhou of the Great Qin Kingdom, said to be a small mountain range, in fact, it also includes a radius of thousands of miles, the mountains are mostly some small beasts and the like, some nearby mountain hunters often go to the deep mountains to hunt and kill some subsidized households, but more farmers are going up the mountain to pick some Moxiang Mountain's unique Moxiang tea.

Perhaps because of the special soil climate here, Moxiang tea can only grow on Moxiang Mountain, the leaves are wide and large, and after frying and drying, it becomes a bird's tongue shape, and the aroma is strong. The brewed tea is dark red, looks like black ink, and the taste is full of fragrant teeth, which lasts for three days, and is listed as one of the royal tea products by the Great Qin State.

Due to the scarcity of Moxiang tea, there is little left except for the annual supply, the price of this tea is extremely expensive, with the saying of "a bowl of fragrant tea and a bowl of gold", if it is not a rich and noble person can not afford to taste it.

For secular mortals, Moganshan is just a holy place for tea production, but for those who cultivate, Moganshan is one of the markets with a long history in the Great Qin Kingdom.

At this moment, two figures were riding horses, galloping away on the sheep intestine path like secular mortals, it was Kong Laosan and Yu Hongzhi.

Both of them are the lowest rookies in the world of cultivating immortals, their strength is half a catty, and their means are extremely limited, Hanzhou and Jiangzhou are very far apart, so even if the two of them change horses all the way, it took nearly a month and a half to come here.

In the evening of that day, the two hurried and finally came to Moxiang Town.
