Chapter 302: After all, the world is not peaceful. I have food in my hand and I don’t feel panic in my heart (two chapters in one)
Eating watermelon is a refreshing and refreshing thing. In the hot summer, it is best to have a bite after a meal. Chilled watermelon not only helps digestion, but also makes the body and mind feel cold and comfortable.
In the living room, Lin Li and Su Yue were sitting on the sofa eating iced watermelon after lunch.
“Wow, wow, wow...”
Lin Li picked up a large piece of watermelon and ate it in big mouthfuls. He finished a large piece of watermelon in a few seconds.
Su Yue spit out the watermelon seeds into the trash can, and watched Lin Li pick up a large piece of watermelon from the fruit plate. She said, "Lin Li, you eat watermelon without spitting out watermelon seeds?!!!"
"Why are you vomiting watermelon seeds? It's so troublesome, it won't affect your body, and it came out the next day..." Lin Li replied casually.
Then, he ate the watermelon in his hand and swallowed the watermelon seeds together with the watermelon meat.
"..." After hearing Lin Li's answer, Su Yue rolled her eyes at him and said with disgust, "Can you please stop saying things like this when eating? It affects your appetite..."
"Yeah." Lin Li, who was eating watermelon, responded vaguely, obviously not paying much attention to what Su Yue said.
Seeing Lin Li's vague response, Su Yue could only helplessly shake her head, then continued to take a bite of watermelon, spit out the watermelon seeds, and ate slowly.
"Huh..." Lin Li took a long breath after eating three large slices of watermelon in a row, and stopped eating.
I was quite full from the barbecue just now. After three large slices of watermelon, I was almost at my limit. If I continued to eat, my stomach would become uncomfortably bloated.
He went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, he said to Su Yue, who hadn't even finished a piece of watermelon, "I'm going home."
Su Yue was putting it in the trash can. She vomited watermelon seeds in her mouth and heard Lin Li coming out of the bathroom after washing her hands and telling her that she wanted to go home. She quickly raised her head and looked at Lin Li and said, "Let's play games together for a while, why don't you go back!"
"Okay, then you eat quickly and play a few games, then I'll go home and take a nap." Lin Li nodded, then sat down on the sofa next to Su Yue, took the remote control, and changed the TV channel.
…………
At 1:30 in the afternoon, Lin Li came out of Su Yue’s house and walked toward his community.
Originally, it was very hot outside in the afternoon. Because of the artificial rainfall in the morning, the temperature on the street is not bad now, at most 34 to 5 degrees.
Occasionally, the wind blows in my face. Although the wind is still hot, it is much cooler than the temperature of the previous few days.
Ten minutes later, Lin Li returned to his home.
Go to the cabinet air conditioner in the living room, take out the cooling device from the mysterious island, activate it and place it on top of the air conditioner.
"Huh..."
The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and after a while, the living room became chilly.
Lin Li was lying on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep in a daze.
At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Li slowly opened his eyes after taking a nap for more than an hour. He took his mobile phone from the coffee table and checked the current time.
I found out that it was still early and there was still a long time before dinner.
After such a short nap, Lin Li was very energetic. If he continued to sleep, he would not be able to fall asleep. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Dongwu City in the spiritual world before dinner.
"Now that all the pearls on hand have been sold out, for future transactions, let's go to Dongwu City to replenish a batch of goods..." Lin Li muttered to himself, and then a thought in his mind moved, and he lay on the bed He disappeared instantly from the sofa.
“Huh…”
The refrigeration device that I forgot to turn off is still running, maintaining the temperature in the living room and keeping the living room in a comfortable environment.
…………
In the vast spiritual world, in the country called Chu State, in Dongwu City near the border, in an inaccessible alley, a man wearing gray A man wearing linen clothes and sunglasses appeared out of thin air.
It is cloudy in Dongwu City today. In the past, the scorching sun, which was much bigger than the sun on the Blue Star, was hidden by thick clouds today.
“Huh…”
A strong wind poured into the alley, making Lin Li's clothes rustle. Compared with the wind on the streets of Rongcheng on Blue Star, this wind in Dongwu City was quite cool.
Lin Li took off his sunglasses and took him back to the mysterious island. He walked out of the alley and muttered to himself.
“The black arched stone door on the mysterious island emits a golden light that blinds people every time it is activated to send me to the spirit world. It’s a bit annoying! If only it could light up. The brightness will be better.”
After Lin Li came out of the alley, he came to the roadside to see if there were any empty cars passing by.
He was going to stop an empty car and go to the restaurant selling oysters.
Although it is possible to walk to the restaurant, his current location is a long way from the restaurant, and it will take a long time to walk there.
It’s okay if you run, but although running takes less time in the past, it’s not good to meet others to discuss business while sweating.
While waiting for the bus on the side of the road, Lin Li saw some water on the street. He looked up at the gloomy sky. It seemed that not long ago, there had been a rainstorm in Dongwu City in the spiritual world. heavy rain.
In general, Dongwucheng is much cooler than Rongcheng now. Both cities also had a heavy rain not long ago, but the current outdoor temperature in Rongcheng is 345 degrees, while in Dongwucheng Wucheng is at most thirty degrees.
A brand new carriage came from a distance. The driver saw a man waving to him on the side of the road. Knowing that business was coming, he immediately drove the carriage over and stopped in front of the other person.
"Hey."
"Sir, where are you going?" After stopping the carriage, the driver asked Lin Li.
The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he looked quite honest.
And he has a lot of calluses on his hands. Seeing how brand-new the carriage he is driving now, it seems likely that the coachman's previous job was physical labor.
“I want to go to Willow Alley, how much will it cost?” Lin Li reported the address.
"Fifteen coppers." The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes thought about how far away the location of Wicker Alley was, and quoted the price.
"It cost me twenty coppers to get here from Willow Alley, but now it only costs fifteen coppers. The price quoted by this driver is much lower! It seems that he is a novice."
After listening to the price quoted by the driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes, Lin Li thought about it in his heart and said with a smile, "Okay."
"Sir, please get in the car." The driver with big eyebrows and big eyes said The driver called Lin Li to get on the bus.
After Lin Li got on the car, he immediately shook the reins in his hands, driving the horse pulling the cart to turn around, and then drove towards the location of Willow Alley.
"Da, da, da..."
The horse's hooves stepped on the road paved with bluestone bricks, making a crisp and loud sound. Because the sun in the sky was covered by thick clouds, and there had been a heavy rain before, the temperature on the street was not too hot, so at this time, there were many people traveling and coming and going, which was very lively.
The car is very cool because there is a cooling device installed on the roof. The style of the cooling device is the same as the one Lin Li bought before. It is the latest and most convenient model. Spiritual weapon.
“Sir, the heavy rain last night was really heavy!”
The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes talked to the guests in the carriage while driving the carriage.
Drivers from two different worlds drive different vehicles, but because they have the same occupation, they will inevitably have similarities in talking to customers.
Lin Li heard the taxi driver in this world talking to him, talking about things he didn't know, so he could only nod in agreement.
"Yes! The rain last night was really heavy..."
The coachman with thick eyebrows and big eyes continued, "If it hadn't been for the city lord for so many years, He has been insisting on renovating the drainage facilities in the city.
Yesterday's heavy rain will definitely turn many places in Dongwucheng into lakes. "
"Hmm. "Lin Li continued to nod. As for the city lord of Dongwu City, he rode in carriages several times, and the drivers would mention some stories about him.
Why did he lead the guards in the city to kill and harass Dongwu City frequently? The strange beasts in Wucheng have brought ten kinds of things to Dongwu City. Several years of peace.
Vigorous development of commerce has made this city near the border of Chu the most prosperous trading city in the border area.
And funds have been allocated to build charity halls to take care of the homeless. Relying on the elderly and children
From what these coachmen said and how they told these things, Lin Li could see the respectful expression on the lord of Dongwu City.
The lord of Dongwu City is a powerful practitioner, and he is very loved by the residents of Dongcheng.
Think about it, in this feudal society, there is such a wise city lord. As long as he is a normal person, no one will dislike such a city lord.
"Master, you must have just become a coach driver not long ago, right?" Lin Li asked.
"Yes! I just became a coachman last week, and I have been farming before." The coachman with thick eyebrows and big eyes said with a smile.
"Then if you work as a coachman now, what will happen to the land at home?"
"The land at home will continue to be planted! Because now is not the busy time for farming, I want to become a coachman at this time and earn some money to support the family. ..."
"That's right! That's good. It's a good idea to find a side job and make more money."
"This is also thanks to the Lord." The rickshaw driver said with gratitude on his face.
Lin Li felt confused for a while, but before he could ask, the other party explained it to him.
"The Lord of the City has issued a new decree. When farmers buy carriages, they can pay only 30% of the purchase fee up front, and the City Lord's Palace will help advance the remaining 70%, and then repay the money to the City Lord's Palace in installments with very low interest. Okay. < br>
If it weren’t for the new car purchase decree issued by the Lord of the City, which asked me to buy this carriage in full at once and install a refrigeration device on the carriage, I would not be able to afford this money." He said with thick eyebrows and big eyes. The coachman said with a smile.
"Isn't this just a loan to buy a car? I didn't expect that the city lord could come up with such a decree. It's quite impressive!" Lin Li understood instantly after hearing the thick-browed coachman's explanation.
After all, this type of shopping is very common on Blue Star. If you look for any elementary school student, they might be able to understand it immediately after hearing what the coachman said.
Afterwards, as usual, Lin Li chatted with the driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes who took the initiative to talk, collecting all kinds of information about the world.
However, this middle-aged man, who had been farming at home and working as a coachman as a side job, knew far less information than the coachmen Lin Li had ridden in the previous carriages.
“I have been working as a coachman for more than a week, and my income is quite good. I have already thought about it. I will discuss it with my family later. If I don’t succeed, I will just become a coachman.
After all, the money earned by being a coach driver is much more than the hard work of growing food in the fields.”
The thick-browed coach driver chatted with Lin Li, and then they talked about his desire to change his career. thoughts.
"Your idea is okay! However, there is a saying in my hometown, which is that if you have food in your hand, you will not panic in your heart.
After all, this world is not peaceful. If you encounter some emergencies and you have money, you may not be able to buy food! So I suggest you that the farmland at home should not be abandoned, and food must still be grown..." Lin Li said with a smile.
"If you have food in your hands, don't panic. This is a very good saying, sir. The most important thing is that he is a scholar at first glance, and his words are reasonable.
Looking back, I discussed it with my family. Even if I change my career as a coachman, I will still continue to cultivate the farmland at home, but it is impossible to plant all the farmland like before. "
The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes chewed on what Lin Li said casually, and then praised him very sincerely.
I have scholars everywhere now...Lin Li After listening to the coachman's praise, he said to himself
However, he was quite happy when he heard the other party's sincere praise. After all, no one doesn't like to hear others say good things about themselves, and the good things said by the other party are sincere.
"Da, da, da..."
The horse pulled the carriage and drove at a constant speed.
This driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes has only been in the "taxi" industry for a week and is not very familiar with the routes.
In addition, there is no mobile phone navigation in this world, so he chose a road that he thought would be shorter to his destination.
Driving a carriage into a narrow alley, when the driver rushed out of the alley, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.
“Be careful.”
Seeing this, the driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes shouted in panic, then pulled the reins in his hand to stop the horse pulling the cart.
Unfortunately, the person who appeared in front of him appeared too suddenly. Even if the driver reacted quickly, he still couldn't stop the horse in an instant.
“Bang.”
The slowed-down horse bumped into a passerby, sending him flying, landing heavily on the ground, rolling several times, and lying face down, motionless.
After the thick-browed coachman stopped the carriage, he looked at the passerby six or seven meters away who was knocked away by the horse.
Seeing the other party lying motionless on the ground, his face turned pale in an instant, and he muttered to himself in a confused manner.
"It's over, it's over, I hit someone..."
