Chapter 90: A Difficult Journey
Tang Ruyue is a little older and has more experience, she turned her head to look at Yang Feng and said: "'Xianggong', you might as well go and bet on someone else's dart, as long as there is no accident, there will be some money." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"
"How much money will it make?" Yang Feng tilted his head and looked at Tang Ruyue and said.
"It depends on what kind of dart you are betting on, if it is an ordinary dart, and the thing is not very valuable, it is estimated that the remuneration is one hundred to several hundred taels of silver, if the thing is very valuable, the remuneration is relatively high. Of course, it also depends on the size of the game and the generosity of the customer. The bigger the dart board, the higher the remuneration paid, and the big dart board also receives large customers, and large customers are naturally more generous than small customers, and it is common to spend a lot of money. Of course, you have to ensure that the goods are delivered to the ground on time, and there is no loss of money, otherwise you will not only not get the remuneration, but you may also lose money!" Tang Ruyue said.
"Escort darts, nothing more than to deliver the customer's goods to the ground on time, and then ensure that they are not lost on the way, don't you get it? I don't think it's a difficult thing, let's go to the darts. Yang Feng, who didn't know the height of the sky, immediately rushed to the road.
"'Xianggong', do you really think that the dart is so simple? The dart is not only to deliver the customer's goods to the ground on time, but also to beware of those robbers and robbers, who want to lick the blood with the knife!" Jiang Shanshan poured a basin of cold water on Yang Feng's head.
"Yes, the most important thing to guard the dart is to prevent the dart from being robbed by the robbers, and the robbers are generally in groups, and some are also skilled in martial arts, and they must be repelled with extraordinary courage and force, which is also commonly known as the knife head licking blood of the people in the rivers and lakes. Tang Ruyue explained.
"It turns out that the so-called knife head licking blood is to fight with people. Although I don't like to fight, I won't be afraid of others if they insist on bullying me!" Yang Feng waved his fists and said with enthusiasm.
"'Xianggong', you are so naΓ―ve, do you think that licking blood with a knife is just a fight with people? That is to go in with a white knife and a red knife out, killing and injuring people!" Jiang Shanshan let out another sneer.
"It turned out to be killing and injuring people, yes, I still don't save this kind of money. Yang Feng shook his head, looked at Tang Ruyue and said, "'Lady', how can we cultivators be so brave and ruthless, hurt people and kill people? β
Tang Ruyue frowned and said: "Those robbers are nothing more than mortals who don't know how to cultivate the true art, they just have brute force, we don't have to kill lives, just show the method of cultivating the truth, and let them know the difficulties and retreat." β
"Well, yes, I agree with the opinion of the big 'lady', what do you say about the little 'lady'?" Yang Feng turned his head to look at Jiang Shanshan and said.
Jiang Shanshan pursed her lips and said, "Whatever you want." β
By saying this, she agreed. At that moment, the three of them went to look for the dart game. But in such a town, the dart game is indispensable, the difference is only the size. In a small town like Guqiao Town, the population of the town is not more than 1,000, but it also radiates more than a dozen surrounding villages, so the total population is actually about 10,000, and there are hundreds of rich and moderately wealthy families among the more than 10,000 people. Therefore, where there is demand, there is business. Of course, in this kind of place, the scale of the game is certainly not very large.
At that moment, they found a majestic dart bureau in a fork in the alley at the east end of the town, explained their intentions, handed in the deposit, and then took the darts and went on the road.
It turns out that such a small dart board due to lack of manpower, often backlog of some dart goods can not be sent out on time, it is necessary to recruit temporary dart masters from the society, applicants only need to pay a certain deposit or token to the dart board, you can become a temporary dart master hired by the dart board, you can help the dart board escort dart goods, after the dart goods are escorted to the ground, you can get the honorarium, and at the same time get back their deposits and tokens.
Yang Feng is a poor bastard, and he can't hand over any deposits and tokens, but Tang Ruyue still has more than five hundred taels of silver, so he bet on the dart game, and also bet on a delicate short sword as a token, and then get it back after they finish this dart.
The dart goods they escorted were actually a small sealed box, only one foot high and one foot wide, which could be carried with a baggage. The small box had been sealed several times with fire paint and gold seals, and there was a small padlock on the outside, and it was unknown what was inside. According to the owner of the dart board, this dart is worth 3,500 taels of silver, and if they send the dart to the ground intact, they will be rewarded with 500 taels of silver; otherwise, if something goes wrong, then Tang Ruyue's 500 taels of silver and the exquisite short sword (according to the owner's estimate, it is worth 3,000 taels of silver) will be compensated to the dart board.
So no matter what, nothing can go wrong!
Yang Feng and the others had to send the dart goods to Ping'an Town, two hundred miles away, because they hid the whereabouts of the cultivators, so they couldn't resist the sword, so they could only rely on foot. Originally, they could also rent a horse, but Jiang Shanshan felt that renting a horse could not be done, so she vetoed the proposal. And Tang Ruyue also thinks that walking is good, and walking is also a kind of cultivation, which is also very beneficial to improving the entry realm. Since they both insisted on walking, Yang Feng could only agree with their opinions.
So they wrapped the darts in a piece of blue cloth and turned them into a burden, which Yang Feng carried on his shoulders, and Yang Feng's two "ladies" accompanied him.
The three of them left Guqiao Town and walked southeast along a post road.
Yang Feng is used to walking, and walking a few hundred miles is nothing to him, but I don't know if the two "ladies" who are used to flying with the sword can adapt?
Tang Ruyue and Jiang Shanshan's expressions looked very relaxed and happy, and they looked very enjoyable, it seemed that walking was really a novelty and a new thing for them, and they were like birds in a cage suddenly liberated, they just wanted to spread their wings and fly high, enjoy the beautiful scenery of this world, breathe the fresh air of the countryside and fields, and smell the birds and flowers rippling in the heaven and earth. Yang Feng estimated that although they could go up and down every day as a law enforcement officer, their actions were actually constrained by the law enforcement precepts, and they could not be as unrestrained as they are now, so their mood would definitely not be as comfortable as now.
However, they were used to flying, and after walking for seven or eight miles, they felt that they could no longer walk, and asked to stop and rest. And these seven or eight miles are just a warm-up for Yang Feng, and he won't feel any problem when he walks out thirty or forty miles in one go.
In desperation, they had to stop and rest. After a short rest, he continued on his way. In fact, they basically take the flat road, rarely over the mountains and mountains, if they go over the mountains and mountains, it is estimated that Tang and Jiang will not be able to walk for three or four miles.
The three of them reluctantly walked another five or six miles, and Jiang Shanshan took the lead in complaining: "Senior sister, let's still take the sword, I really can't stand walking like this." β
