Volume 1 Citygate Chapter 39 Farewell in the middle of the night

The west side of the city gate is very large, the east gate is more like a dog hole than it, all caravans are from this gate in and out of Taiwu Town, and most of the caravans will use a kind of taming beast called pig and horse to transport goods, this kind of demon horse after domestication has a docile temperament, and the load is extremely high, although the speed is a little slower, but it is still much stronger than ordinary horses, the caravan for transporting goods is the first choice, and the pig and horse are also tall and abnormal, in order to facilitate the passage of the caravan, the west side of the city gate is naturally built taller.

Hu Jian was standing at the gate of the city at this time, looking out through the caravan, the right side of the city gate was full of red locust trees, under the locust tree there were more than a dozen people lying on the ground, the clothes on their bodies were also tattered, the cries were endless, at first glance it was a beggar, and on the left side was a teahouse, there were more than 20 wide round tables, and the people sitting were all fine cloth brocade clothes, and the seats were full, it was very lively.

Hu Jian walked towards the door of the teahouse, his eyes flashed with a hint of doubt, there were forty or fifty people here, and there were eye-catching team flags on several tea tables, but none of them were Yunzhi caravans, which made him a little puzzled.

"Brother Tai is here to find a caravan?"

At a table near the door, a young man in a green robe who looked quite elegant, with long eyelashes, looked handsome, and looked like a woman, and there was a strong man with a big waist and a round waist sitting next to him.

"How did Brother Tai know that I was here to find the caravan?"

Hu Jian looked at the flag on the table, and the word "Su Hui" was written on it, his eyes skimmed over the bulging Adam's apple of the young man, and secretly said that he was thinking too much, but he still asked suspiciously.

The strong man also frowned, and looked at the elegant young man suspiciously, obviously not knowing how the young man knew Hu Jian's purpose.

"Brother Tai has been looking around since he left the city gate, and he has stayed for a moment on the table with flags in several places, but looking at Brother Tai's puzzled face, it must not be our caravan, and Brother Tai has stayed on my flag for a few more moments, I guess I am looking for the Yunzhi caravan. The boy spoke. The strong man next to the young man also had an epiphany in his eyes, and he looked at the young man's eyes with great admiration.

Hu Jian was slightly startled, and secretly sighed in his heart for the intelligence of this elegant young man, but at the same time, he also had a heart.

"Exactly. Hu Jian pondered for a moment and nodded at the young man.

"That's the Yunzhi caravan over there, they were plundered by horse thieves on the road, but the horse thieves didn't look down on their goods, and only robbed them of their silver and let them come. Why don't you come to our caravan?" The young man pointed to the group of beggars under the locust tree, and looked at Hu Jianjiong's bright eyes with a smile on his face.

Hu Jian followed the direction of the young man's hand, and saw a small flag next to a black-faced young man who was nibbling on steamed buns, and a trace of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Thank you, brother, I've already taken their commission this time, next time. Hu Jian bowed his hand slightly to the elegant young man, with a hint of apology on his face.

"That's a shame. The elegant young man nodded at Hu Jian, a smile appeared on his lips, and he didn't mind.

Hu Jian turned around and walked towards the group of Yunzhi caravans, who were ragged and no different from beggars, and looked at the people who were gnawing on steamed buns in front of him, crying and laughing in his heart.

"Is it the Yunzhi caravan?" Hu Jian handed out a letter of introduction in his hand.

"Yes... Yes, this brother is going to escort our caravan?" the man was still chewing on steamed buns in his mouth, looking incredulous.

"Yes. Hu Jian nodded slightly.

"Samurai senior!" The man looked at Hu Jian's letter of introduction, so surprised that he even forgot to chew the steamed bun in his mouth, and looked at Hu Jian's eyes as if he was looking at an idiot. He also made a bet with his brother yesterday, saying that the task of the Chamber of Commerce was released, and the intermediary fee would definitely be wasted, and the money would be wasted, unless he was a fool to come.

Hu Jian saw his face clearly at this time, a young man in his twenties, his face was dark, his face was a little sluggish, and he looked honest and abnormal.

"Brother, brother, it's really stupid.. Ahem... The master has come to our caravan. The honest boy shook the body of a young man of twenty-five or sixteen who was sleeping soundly.

"Really... True... True... The young man opened his eyes, wiped his saliva, and looked at Hu Jian's body, stammering in his mouth, I don't know whether he was surprised or really stammered.

An hour later, in an abandoned house next to a mountain path, there was a strange fragrance, in a corner of the house, a clay pot was set on a fire, He Lan was adding firewood to the fire, and Xiaobai was looking at the white tender chicken in the pot with a greedy face.

"Brother Chen Jun, you're back. He Lan looked at Hu Jian with a look of surprise.

"Well, what did you eat? Hu Jian chuckled.

"The pheasant that Xiaobai caught. When He Lan heard Hu Jian's praise, her face was slightly red, and she seemed to be a little embarrassed, but her eyes still secretly aimed at Hu Jian.

"Little brother, are you back?" He Yun said, with a simple smile on his face.

"How is He Peng?" Hu Jian nodded and asked.

"Alas, sitting in a daze, this blow is still too heavy for him. He Yun sighed.

Hu Jian nodded slightly, turned around and walked into the inner room, where He Peng was leaning against the wall, his hair was messy, his face was yellow, and he looked decadent.

"Brother Chen, are you back?" He Peng's face was very depressed, but he still had a smile on the corner of his mouth when he saw Hu Jian.

"Hmm. He didn't know how to comfort He Peng so much.

"I'm leaving, three days later. Hu Jian was silent for a moment and spoke.

"Alas, what do you think about what I said?" He Peng nodded in disbelief, looking at Hu Jian's eyes full of anticipation.

He had long known that Hu Jian would not stay long, and he was crippled, and he didn't want to be a burden to He Lan, so he begged Hu Jian to take He Lan away, he could see that He Lan liked Hu Jian very much, and he also believed in Hu Jian's character.

"I really can't agree to this, He Yun is also here, I can take care of you. Hu Jian shook his head slightly.

"Brother Chen, isn't He Lan pretty? she can cook, and..." He Peng grabbed Hu Jian's arm, his eyes full of begging.

"That's not the case, Brother He, what I'm going to do is extremely dangerous, and I don't want you to be decadent just like that, I believe He Lan will come out of you. Hu Jian looked at He Peng's eyes with a serious expression.

In fact, Hu Jian also has a good impression of He Lan, after all, He Lan is very beautiful, and he is also very gentle and considerate, but he has not risen to the point of liking, he wants to go to the beast forest, he is in danger, he must not take He Lan with him, and he has to find his parents...

Hu Hepeng suddenly fell silent, and let out a heavy sigh from his mouth, he didn't want to keep He Lan by his side, but how could he protect this beloved sister when he was crippled...

One night three days later, beside the mountain trail, overgrown with weeds, a dilapidated thatched hut stood alone...

Hu Jian looked at the fire in the thatched house in the distance, the time of three days passed in a flash, and he was a little emotional when he was about to leave tomorrow, he didn't know what his future would be, but he would do his best to do it.

Hu Jian slowly walked into the back room, the three straw mats in front of the fire, He Yun and He Lan seemed to be asleep, only He Peng was still half leaning against the wall, looking preoccupied.

Hu Jian walked towards He Peng, half-leaned beside He Peng, and sighed slightly.

"I'm leaving, I'll be gone in a moment. ”

"If you don't stay until tomorrow morning, we're all going to see you off early tomorrow morning. He Peng was taken aback.

"No, this is for you. Hu Jian took out a cyan stone bead, the mist in the stone bead was shrouded, it was the one He Peng gave him, he saved He Lan and had nothing to do with this stone bead, even if this bead looked mysterious, he had to return it.

"This is for you, how can you get it back. He Peng waved his hand.

"Then you can help me give it to He Lan, and you can accept these silver tickets, so you can't stay in the wilderness all the time. Hu Jian took out a few silver tickets from his arms and handed them over.

"This..."He Peng wanted to refuse, but when Hu Jian said the back, he glanced at He Lan and accepted it.

"I don't want to thank you, Brother Chen will be useful in the future... Alas, thank you very much. He Peng just wanted to thank him, and when he saw his legs, he sighed again.

A breeze blew, the last trace of fire in the fire was extinguished, Hu Jian took a few pieces of firewood and put it on it, a burst of smoke rose, the firewood was too wet, too much moisture.

"Ahem. He Peng choked on the thick smoke.

Hu Jian took out a book from the bag, tore off several pages, the flames flickered, and the smoke from the wet wood slowly dissipated.

Hu Jian put the whole book on the wood, this is a book in the Longtian Qiankun bag that draws all kinds of male and female love poses, as well as all kinds of strange... Not much value.

"I'm leaving. Hu Jian looked at He Peng and said.

He Peng's face was complicated, and he opened his mouth as if he wanted to say something, but he still didn't say it, and nodded.

Hu Jian patted He Peng on the shoulder, stood up and clenched his fists slightly at He Peng, and turned to leave.

When Hu Jian's figure had disappeared at the door, He Peng withdrew his gaze and turned his head to look at He Lan and He Yun, with an inexplicable look of determination flashing in his eyes.

"This is?!"

On the fire, among the ashes left behind, a transparent page was shining with a faint golden light...
