As soon as he thought of this, Lin Tian subconsciously touched the cuffs of his clothes, and sure enough, he found that the lining of the right sleeve felt thicker than the left sleeve. Is there anything here? Is it something that his father left for him? Lin Tian was a little nervous.

Seeing that Lin Tian had promised to leave again tomorrow, Li San returned to the courtyard to sort out the herbs he had collected. Lin Tian looked back at Li San and found that Li San hadn't noticed him.

He calmed down and said to Li San: "Uncle Li, I feel a little pain in my head, I'll go back to the house to rest first." Li San nodded and said, "Your body is still too weak, sleep well, and I'll boil you a few doses of blood tonic medicine at night." Lin Tian answered and entered the house.

Closing the door, Lin Tian sat on the bed and took off his coat. He touched his right sleeve again, as if something was there. After making sure that he didn't feel wrong, Lin Tian turned up his right sleeve, lightly made a small cut on it with a knife, reached in, and took out the contents with his hand.

It is a palm-sized, thin silk pocket that is also sewn with thread. Lin Tian picked the thread open, pulled out the thread, and poured it into his pocket, and a few pieces of paper fell out of it.

At the top were six silver tickets, a total of four thousand one hundred taels: three for one thousand taels, two for five hundred taels, and one for one hundred taels. So much money scared Lin Tian, this time when he came out, he heard his father say that the money was a total of five thousand taels, but he didn't expect that the money was basically in it. No wonder the bandits said that their father didn't have much money, and it turned out that his father had hidden most of the money in his clothes before he left.

There is also a folded piece of paper underneath the silver ticket. Lin Tian opened it, and it was his father's familiar and vigorous handwriting:

"Tian'er, if you see this letter, it means that most of our business has an accident, or my father is in danger. Seeing this, Lin Tian's tears had already fallen, his hands trembled, and he couldn't hold the paper anymore.

"This journey, although it seems to be only a few days away, is very dangerous. This road is rife with banditry, and merchants are plundered in seven or eight times out of ten. Dad wouldn't have done this kind of business before, but now Dad has no other way. I can only give it a go. Before leaving, I asked your mother to sew all the money in your sleeves, first, to be safe, and second, if something happens to your father, you also have the ability to take care of yourself and your sister. If you are near Hezhou City, go to Hezhou City West Street to find a shop called Huining Commercial Bank, go to their boss, and say that you are my son. I've already arranged everything else. If you are not near Hezhou City, go directly to Lingxiao City to find your aunt. In addition, Tian'er, remember not to return to Chuanling. ”

Lin Tian was a little dazed, his father had arranged so many things, and he didn't know anything about it. He was going to Hezhou City tomorrow, but his intention was to return to Chuanling with the convoy, but why did his father write to him and tell him not to go back to Chuanling? If he didn't go back, what would his mother do if he was alone in Chuanling?

Lin Tian was a little overwhelmed. He carefully put away the silver ticket and the letter, thought for a while, and decided to go to Huining Commercial Bank tomorrow first, and then make arrangements.

Early in the morning, Li San and Lin Tian ate something and set off. Because Lin Tian's body is still a little weak, he has to rest for a while after walking for a while. Stop and go, and when the two of them were about to arrive in Hezhou City, the sun was shining, and it was already past noon.

Lin Tian saw Hezhou City from afar. Hezhou City is known as an important trade town in the northwest of China, and it is indeed a bit magnificent. The scale of the city is huge, and I don't know how many times larger than Chuanling. It's just that Lin Tian is a little strange: "Third Uncle Li, aren't there many bandits and demon beasts in Wujing Prefecture? Why doesn't Hezhou City have a city wall?" Li San smiled: "Little brother, do you know who is in charge of this Wujing Prefecture?"

"Everyone in the world knows that Wujing Prefecture is controlled by Xiaoyaomen. ”

"Hmm. 1,600 miles northwest from Hezhou City, is Xiaoyao City. Xiaoyaomen is there to guard the northwest of China. The demon beasts north of Xiaoyao City can't cross the pass of Xiaoyao City, and the ones south of it have long been cleared by Xiaoyao Gate. The whereabouts of the people in the Xiaoyao Gate are uncertain, and few people in the world have seen them. In the past, Hezhou City was indeed harassed by bandits for a while, but in a few days, the heads of the troublemakers would be hung on the big locust tree in the city. The most terrifying time, there were more than 200 heads piled up under the tree. Since then, no bandits have dared to enter the city to cause trouble. Therefore, there is no need to build a city wall in Hezhou City. ”

"I see. Lin Tian nodded, and couldn't help but marvel in his heart, Xiaoyaomen deserved to be one of the five sects, and its strength was so powerful.

When he entered Hezhou City, Li San insisted on sending Lin Tian to find the convoy first. Lin Tian didn't want to go to Huining Commercial Bank, so he had to find an excuse and said: "Third Uncle Li, I still have a relative in Hezhou City, and I have something to do with him." ”

Seeing Lin Tian say this, Li San knew that Lin Tian must have something else. patted Lin Tian on the shoulder, "If you can't find it, go to the Chengbei Herbal Medicine Market to find me." After that, he left first.

Lin Tian followed the guidance of passers-by and came to Hezhou City West Street. West Street is a dilapidated and dirty alley, walk in and look for a while, only in front of an inconspicuous shop, I saw an old small wooden board, on which are crooked and written four words "Huining Commercial Bank".

Lin Tian carefully looked at this old-looking shop, the door was closed, it was full of dust, and when he looked through the window paper, it was also dim inside. There seemed to be no one in this shop, and Lin Tian felt a little frustrated.

Suddenly, Lin Tian had another strange feeling, as if someone was staring at him. The feeling of being watched by someone made him a little panicked. Lin Tian turned his head to look, and there was no one in the alley except him, only a few leaves were blown up by the wind and swirled low in the air. He hesitated, but walked over and knocked on the door a few times.

There was no movement.

Lin Tian waited for a while, but the door was still closed. Lin Tian couldn't hide his frustration, sighed, turned around and prepared to leave.

I don't know if it was blown by the wind or opened, but the dilapidated door made a "creak" sound, and it slowly opened a little.

Lin Tian was really a little frightened when he saw the door that suddenly opened. Why does the door open suddenly?

He instinctively turned around and ran, ran a few steps and stopped. My father said that if I went here to find someone, my father would not harm me.

Lin Tian returned to the front of the store, pushed open the door, and stepped in.
