Chapter 7 Go to Fangshi together
The rent collection trip to Guchenfang City only took more than two hours in total.
Niu Youliang has indeed prepared immortal food to feed the two grain collectors who came down from Ziyun Peak.
It is necessary to have it. As for whether to eat or not to eat, that is not what he should consider.
Seeing them farewell, Niu Youliang suddenly asked in a low voice: "Uncle Li, have you caught the thief?"
When Li Shangxian heard this, the flying sword he originally offered stopped, he turned around and looked at the other party with a deep look, and said: "Not yet. Does Mr. Niufang have any clues?"
"There are no clues." Niu Youliang shook his head. Are you kidding? This is the person wanted by the Qingyang Sect. How could he, a small shop owner, have any clues?
Besides, even if there are clues, I don’t dare to follow the pictures!
Who knows what state the other party is in?
“However, three months ago, two spirit growers died in Guchenfang City.”
"Really?" Si Yu, who was bored by the side, suddenly became interested, "How did he die?"
"He died by tearing out his heart."
Li Shangxian frowned, it seemed that he was indeed the thief. Not bad!
"Next time you hear this news, remember to report it as soon as possible."
Niu Youliang nodded sharply, "I know, I know."
How could he not retaliate? He only reported it to his master. As for whether it reached the peak master's ears, it was beyond his reach at this level.
“It won’t happen next time.”
Li Shangxian looked a little unhappy.
Then he used his flying sword and flew away through the air.
Seeing the two of them disappear into the distance, Niu Youliang's originally flattering face suddenly turned gloomy.
"Two bastards pretending to be powerful! Bah!"
......
Sent away the three grain collectors and practiced Flame Palm for half an hour, Chen Mo returned to the house. inside.
At this moment, it is getting late, and it takes more than two hours to go to the market. Today is obviously not a good day.
Before night, when Chen Mo was about to take a rest, there was a knock on the door of his room.
"Who?"
"I, Yin Zheng."
The Lingzhifu from the south also asked him a few days ago whether Wang Lixia was the one whose end was approaching.
Chen Mo thought for a moment, then opened the door: "What's the matter?"
"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you planning to go to Fangshi tomorrow?" Yin Zheng got straight to the point when they met.
"Not bad."
"How about we get together?"
Chen Mo frowned slightly, he didn't want to have anything to do with the people around him.
Seeing that he was hesitant, the other party continued: "Fellow Daoist Chen, Ziyun Peak has a great harvest this year."
"So what?"
"You and I both know. Do you think the other casual cultivators know?"
"You mean they will rob halfway?" Chen Mo asked.
"That's right! So let's go on the road together so that we can take care of you."
The suggestion is a good one. It's hard to say whether there will be any danger on the road.
However, the other party is just like him, a first-level Qi refining person.
What can I do to help?
If we really encounter someone who is robbed halfway, why don’t they both die together?
“No need.” Chen Mo refused.
Seeing that he was about to close the door, Yin Zheng hurriedly put his hand on the door, "No, Fellow Daoist Chen. Just take me with you."
The other party's title has changed.
"I'm just like you..."
Halfway through his words, Chen Mo suddenly realized the problem.
If he doesn’t look down on the other party’s first level of Qi Refining, then the other party must also look down on him!
Then why are you still acting like this? Is that so?
An old, rickety figure instantly appeared in his mind. "Fellow Daoist Yin, I'm sorry, I can't make the decision for her." Chen Mo clasped his hands and closed the door.
Outside the door, Yin Zheng was stunned.
I didn’t expect that the other party refused so simply!
He also thought about going directly to Wang Lixia, but Ling Zhifu next door had already tried it, and no matter who went, he was severely scolded.
As a last resort, he thought that the current Ling Zhifu was just like him, but at the first level of Qi refining.
Normally, he wouldn't look down on her at all!
“Hey!”
Yin Zheng smiled bitterly and turned around.
There have been reports of plundering in other cities. If you act alone at this time without anyone to look after you, your hard-earned food throughout the year may really be robbed.
Chen Mo closed the door and realized it after thinking for a moment.
Yin Zheng's arrival really gave him a wake-up call.
In this world of cultivating immortals where the jungle is strong and the strong prey on the weak, no strength is enough to protect oneself!
Yes, Fangshi will protect their safety, but that is limited to the interior of Fangshi and Ling Zhifu’s cabin.
As for the road?
Who cares whether you live or die?
...
Early the next morning, at dawn, Chen Mo came to wait outside Wang Lixia's wooden house.
After waiting for about half an hour, the door opened.
When Wang Lixia saw Chen Mo, there was no expression change on her face, but she said calmly: "Bring your food."
"Thank you, senior!"
Chen Mo was delighted.
Unexpectedly, the other party guessed his intention at a glance and did not refuse!
It seems that the water poured in these three months has not been in vain.
Of course, Chen Mo was 70% sure when he came on this trip. He still owed her three Bigu Pills. If the food was robbed, she would also suffer losses.
After a while, Chen Mo used a trolley to bring in three bags of 400 kilograms of grain.
Logically speaking, apart from the rent, he should still have 300 kilograms left. Even if there is a bumper harvest this year, there will only be an extra 300 kilograms or 50 kilograms.
Based on one bag weighing 100 kilograms, three bags weigh about 300 kilograms.
However, Chen Mo stuffed dozens of extra kilograms into each bag. Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult to detect anything wrong.
Unless it’s called above!
Wang Lixia glanced at his cart and said, "The harvest is good this year."
"God is strong." Chen Mo said with a smile.
“Awesome?” Wang Lixia was stunned.
"Heaven's protection, heaven's protection."
"Oh, heaven's protection..." After a few breaths of silence, the other party continued, "Feng years don't happen every year, I advise you to still Save some resources for emergencies in the coming year.”
“Thank you, senior, I’ll pack the food for you.”
Chen Mo nodded and saw that the other party did not refuse, so he put her remaining five bags of grain on the trolley and set off for Fangshi.
On the road, Wang Lixia walked very slowly with a cane, and Chen Mo, who was pushing the cart, couldn't go faster even if he wanted to.
Originally, I wanted to chat with the other party for a while and explore some information about the world of immortality, but the old man hardly spoke. No wonder, people around her said that she had an abnormal temper, so Chen Mo accepted it.
Three hours of walking along the way, the road was uneventful and there was no possible robbery as Yin Zheng said.
When they arrived at Fangshi, Wang Lixia, who had been silent all the time, slowly turned around and said, "I will wait for you here tomorrow at midnight."
"Junior, please remember!"
Generally, when you come to Fangshi, you will stay for one night.
After all, selling food and buying resources will take a while. It will be dark before we set off, and the road is extremely unsafe.
“I’ll give you a piece of advice, Fangshi is a money den, take care of your poor resources!”
Wang Lixia has seen too many Lingzhihus with poor self-control, Lingdao just Not long after the sale, before the resources were warmed up, they were given to Goulan and Gambling House. The next year, they didn’t even have the money to buy seeds.
