Chapter 2 Caravans
The big man was dressed in an ancient power suit, his face was covered with scars, and even if he laughed, he looked like a fierce god, but Cheng Ming could still feel the kindness he sent to his heart, so he smiled and nodded: "Thank you, I feel okay now." ”
Dahan showed a smile that was more ugly than crying: "Thank God, it seems that Lao Gou's fake man sometimes has a little effect." ”
Of course, Cheng Ming would not say that this body had changed owners, so he asked with a smile: "Uncle, did you save me?"
Dahan shook his head: "I don't have that power, it was my young lady who asked me to save you." ”
Cheng Ming said gratefully: "Uncle, please thank your young lady for me, and after I recover some, I will definitely go to thank you in person!"
"Okay, I'll bring it. The big man smiled, and then asked, "By the way, you must be hungry, I'll go get you some porridge, you wait a minute......"
After speaking, he didn't wait for Cheng Ming to react, and turned to leave.
Half an hour later, the big man and the little boy came back together, he held a bowl of hot porridge in his hand, and when he walked to the door of the car, he let the little boy get into the car and fed it to Cheng Ming.
"No, no, I can do it myself. Cheng Ming hurriedly waved his hand.
The big man smiled honestly and said: "Young man, you don't have to worry, my baby is very flexible, and my mother-in-law was lying on the bed, and he also took care of it." ”
The little boy also showed a shy smile when he heard his father say this.
Considering that the current situation is a little uncertain, and he is getting better too quickly, it is likely to attract the attention of someone who cares, so he agreed.
Watching Cheng Ming finish drinking the porridge, Dahan said with a smile on his face: "Then you have a good rest, if there is something, just say it." ”
Cheng Ming hurriedly asked, "Uncle, what kind of place is this?"
The big man laughed: "Of course it's still in the Chuanyi grassland, you won't think you've been in a coma for a long time, tell you, but it's only been two days since it's full." It's nearly two months away from Xiqing Mansion now. ”
"I was only in a coma for two days. Cheng Ming's face showed a sudden look, as for the rest, he didn't ask much, otherwise, there would be no three hundred taels of silver here.
"That's right, uncle. I don't know your name yet?"
"My name is Wu Zhuangshi, my son Wu Xiaozhuang, and my young lady's surname is Ji. Wu Zhuangshi introduced it, and then let Cheng Ming have a good rest, and left with his son.
Wu Zhuangshi took his son to the bonfire. Someone next to them handed them a piece of jerky: "Old Wu, how is that young man?"
Wu Zhuangshi took a bite of the jerky, scooped up a bowl of hot soup and drank a few sips before replying: "What else, I estimate that even if the physique is good, it will take ten days and half a month to come down and walk around." ”
"Isn't it, it takes so long?" said an old man in his fifties next to him.
"Lao Zhang, you don't want to think about the appearance when you rescued him the day before yesterday, you only have the breath out, and you don't have the breath to enter. I'm surprised to wake up today. Oh, I know, you must be feeling sorry for your food again, I said that you are in charge of the food, the money manager is not distressed, and the young lady is not distressed, just you are distressed like this, as for it?"
"That's it, I said Lao Zhang, you are too unsympathetic, and people have suffered when they go out. It's pitiful enough, even if you don't want to help, don't keep thinking about falling into the well. ”
"It's ......"
Seeing that everyone was ridiculing themselves, Lao Zhang was annoyed and said angrily: "What is falling into the well." He's not from our caravan, isn't it normal for him to work for food?"
"The key guy is not well, why are you thinking about this......"
Wu Zhuangshi watched everyone criticize Lao Zhang, just stuffing something into his mouth and not joining in. But to be honest, he also thinks that Lao Zhang is too deductible. Usually in terms of food, he is very strict, and if he eats more, he will scold, and in the caravan, it is estimated that only Mr. Qian likes Lao Zhang's character.
A group of people quarreled for a while, and then saw a fat middle-aged man come over and scolded angrily: "What's the noise, I don't know if Miss likes to be quiet?"
Seeing that there was silence all around, he said to Wu Zhuangshi: "Old Wu, come here, Miss has something to look for you." ”
"Okay. Wu Zhuangshi hurriedly stood up, followed to the largest tent in the middle, and walked in.
There was a long table in the tent, and in front of it sat a young girl with a dignified temperament, and next to it stood two maids.
After Wu Zhuangshi came in, he hurriedly saluted, and then heard the girl ask, "Wu Zhuangshi, is that person awake?"
"Yes. Wu Zhuangshi nodded and said Cheng Ming's words.
"Oh. The girl pondered for a moment, then asked, "What do you think he used to do?"
Wu Zhuangshi thought for a while and said, "Miss, I'm a big boss, I really can't see what he did before, but judging from the conversation, this person's tutor should be good, and he has a scholarly temperament." ”
The girl waved her hand: "You go down first, if there is any situation, you have to report to the manager of Qian immediately." ”
"Okay......
After Wu Zhuangshi left, a maid next to him spoke: "Miss, if you think he is strange, why do you want to save him? What if you get into any trouble?"
The girl smiled playfully: "Little Peach, do you still believe in my ability, I said it's no trouble, what happened to be wrong?"
Xiao Tao said with some anxiety: "That's what I said, but we are out of the house, and there are a lot of horse bandits here in the Sichuan grassland, so I'm not afraid of 10,000 just in case!"
"Okay, I know what to do, so don't worry about it. The girl waved her hand.
At this time, the maid on the other side grinned and said, "I said miss, you don't see that he is more handsome, so you saved him, right?"
"Xiaomei, what are you talking about, watch me tear your mouth ......"
For the next few days, Cheng Ming spent the next few days recuperating in the carriage, during which he learned about some caravans through Wu Zhuangshi.
This caravan is the property of the Ji family, and its main task is to transport a piece of medicinal materials to Xiqing Mansion. Of course, if it was just like this, it would be a loss-making transaction for the caravan, so they would also bring some goods to the tribes of the grasslands along the way to trade, in exchange for some goods to sell in Xiqing Mansion.
Since there are more horse bandits in the Sichuan grassland, there will be some single guests who will join the caravan to seek protection, which is also some gain.
In general, although this journey was long and arduous, it was also very rewarding, and I was able to gain a lot of experience, like that Miss Ji joined the caravan to increase knowledge.
In addition to getting some news of the caravan, Cheng Ming finally learned from Wu Xiaozhuang's mouth that he was thousands of miles away from the location where he used the Qianli Fu that day through roundabout inquiries. But this also takes into account that the caravan has been traveling for two days, which means that the Thousand Miles Fu has not reached the standard of instantaneous thousands of miles at all.
"It seems that this guy was deceived again and bought an inferior product, but fortunately it is an inferior product, otherwise it is estimated that there are no bones left. ”
On the fifth day, Cheng Ming's injuries to his internal organs and meridians finally recovered, so he practiced the Daluo Heavenly Body Technique in the carriage to open up the places where the meridians were blocked and stagnant.
Due to his previous experience, and the fact that this was a monk's body after all, in just one day, he was already about to break through the first layer of the Da Luo Celestial Body Technique. But because there was bound to be a lot of dirt to be discharged, he did not break through immediately, and it was not until the next day, when the caravan was camped by a river, that he got out of the car.
Getting off the carriage, Cheng Ming took a deep breath when he looked at the endless grassland in front of him, the incomparably fresh air with a faint scent of grass couldn't help but make people feel refreshed.
It's just that no matter how good his hometown is, it's not as good as his hometown, thinking of his parents who may have been grief-stricken, Cheng Ming couldn't help but feel sad, and vowed to go back as soon as possible no matter what.
Seeing Cheng Ming get out of the car, Wu Zhuangshi, who was not far away, hurriedly ran over and said, "Brother Cheng, are you okay?"
After a few days of contact, Cheng Ming also knew that Wu Zhuangshi was a natural warm-hearted, so his senses were very good, so he said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, I have already gotten better, and it is estimated that I will be cured in a few days." ”
"That's good, that's good. Wu Zhuangshi nodded happily, and then, he thought about something and opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say it.
Cheng Ming saw Wu Zhuangshi's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, so he asked curiously: "Uncle Wu, is there something wrong, just say it directly." ”
Wu Zhuangshi said a little embarrassed: "Brother Cheng, I don't know what your plans are after you recover?"
"I want to go to Xiqing Mansion. ”
Cheng Ming replied that although he wanted to go to Xiuzhenfang City now, this grassland definitely didn't have it, so he wanted to go to Xiqing Mansion with the caravan and look for Fang City there. In the process, he just regained some strength.
Then, Cheng Ming immediately reacted to why Wu Zhuangshi asked this, he said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, is there any requirement for the caravan?"
Wu Zhuangshi said: "That's true, if you have the money to pay for the car, if not, you can do what you can." ”
Of course, there is still a lot of money in the storage bag, but Cheng Ming, who is still relatively weak, definitely can't take it out, so he said, "I don't know if there is anything more suitable for me?"
"Maybe it's just some physical work. "Originally, the caravan still has some work to enter the account, and Cheng Ming is more suitable, but after all, Cheng Ming's origin is unknown, and this kind of thing related to a certain secret, the caravan will definitely not be able to hand it over to Cheng Ming.
"It's okay, you can just call me then. ”
"Okay......
Next, Wu Zhuangshi took Cheng Ming to his colleague and introduced them one by one, but when he got to an old man, he put on a stinky face, and it wasn't until Wu Zhuangshi hinted that Cheng Ming would work, and his face looked better. (To be continued.) )
