Chapter 406 Crossing the River Safely
Yuan Jie was confused and couldn’t figure out what Gu Chan was doing.
Just now she could only hear two wild cats meowing in the alley. As for what they said, she couldn't understand at all.
Gu Chan did not explain, immediately put away his fun, and said to Yuan Jie, "Let's go back to bed quickly. We will pack up and find a boat to cross the river early tomorrow morning. We have to go fast and we can't stay here anymore." Time to kill.”
“Shopkeeper, what happened?” Yuan Jie asked.
"Don't ask. All in all, just listen to me." Gu Chan said solemnly.
After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the alley.
Yuan Jie could only suppress the doubts in her heart and follow her forward.
But not before the two of them reached the alley! Three men suddenly walked in from the alley. They each held a dagger in their hands and were dressed in rags. They were obviously gangsters in the town.
After blocking Gu Chan and Gu Chan in the alley, the leading gangster said, "Little brother, it's fate that we met each other. Can you give our brother some money and let us go find him tonight? Are you having fun in Qingpu?”
"Damn! I thought he was some kind of great character! I've been doing it for a long time, but it's just such an inconspicuous thing. Damn, it really ruined my fun." Gu Chan cursed angrily.
"What did you say? You dare to be so arrogant in front of us, you deserve a beating! Brothers, come on, give him a beating and he will be honest." The leader of the gangster said angrily.
Then the three of them waved the daggers in their hands and rushed towards Gu Chan and the two of them with great ferocity.
"Bang, bang, bang..."
Two seconds later, bursts of banging fighting sounds were heard in the dark alley.
"Ahhhhh..."
What followed immediately was the screams of the three gangsters like they were being slaughtered.
When Gu Chan and the two walked out of the alley again, the three gangsters were already lying on the ground with bruises all over their bodies, unable to move.
As he walked forward, Gu Chan clapped his hands and said, "What a damn unlucky thing. Meeting these three bitches made my hands dirty."
"The shopkeeper's "Where are we going now?" Yuan Jie didn't care about the three gangsters at all and just asked with a smile.
"Go back to the inn. I'm not in the mood to play now. Just let Di Lin and Ma Zheng rest in the Meihong Building. When they wake up tomorrow, they will naturally come to the inn to find us. Don't worry about them." Gu Chan said.
Yuan Jie nodded quietly.
After that, the two of them slowly went back to the inn to rest.
Early the next morning, Di Lin and Ma Zheng sobered up. When they returned to the inn, Gu Chan had already asked the eight people in the caravan to feed the horses and pack all the medicinal materials. The driver of the car was ready to go.
Seeing that the two of them were back, Gu Chan joked, "How about it, did you feel comfortable after drinking last night?"
"Shopkeeper, I really didn't expect you to have such a good drinking capacity. It seems that we'd better not drink with you in the future. We can't drink you at all."
"Yes! I have never seen the boss drink for so long before. It’s really changed now.”
Di Lin and Ma Zheng both said, stroking their dizzy heads.
Gu Chan chuckled and said, "No one remains the same, and the me I am now is no longer the same person I was before. You guys go and have something to eat. We will find a boat to cross the river in a while."< br>
“Why are you in such a hurry?” Di Lin asked curiously.
Gu Chan was obviously very relaxed yesterday and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but after one night, she seemed to be a completely different person, which of course made him confused. Gu Chan didn't explain, but just urged, "Don't ask, hurry up, or it will be difficult to cross the river too late."
"Yes, from the shopkeeper." Di Lin Respond respectfully.
Then he said no more and immediately went to have breakfast with Ma Zheng.
Half an hour later, Gu Chan led the caravan and set off to the river crossing. He spent one hundred taels of silver to find a large ship and took the caravan's horses, goods, carriages, etc. All were transported to the ship.
After making all preparations, the boatman set sail across the river.
What surprised Gu Chan was that not long after the ship set sail, the little white fox shivered in her arms.
Gu Chan held it and stood on the bow of the boat, whispering in its ear, "What's wrong with you?"
[Master, there is a very scary smell in the river, I'm afraid. 】The little white fox said tremblingly.
"It's over. It seems that what the two wild cats said last night is true. There is really a monster in the Tiancang River." Gu Chan said with a solemn face.
Her own mysterious beast would definitely not lie to her.
In this case, there is definitely danger in the Jiangnan area, but as the two wild cats said last night, we don’t know when this monster will make trouble.
This is what worries her the most.
Looking at the calm river surface, she used her spiritual energy to inquire secretly. Gu Chan still found nothing. In the end, she could only ask the little white fox, "Can you sense what is hidden in this river?" What kind of monster is it? "
[No, I can only sense that the aura it emits is extremely powerful and terrifying, and its murderous intent is so strong that all the mysterious beasts in the river are afraid of it and can't hide from it. Far away. 】The little white fox was afraid to say.
"Then you go hide it in your bag! I'm here, don't be afraid." Gu Chan said comfortingly.
The little white fox quickly got into the bag hanging on her waist and did not dare to come out again.
Gu Chan stood with her hands behind her hands, smelling the strong fishy smell coming from the river, her expression extremely ugly.
Fortunately, the monster did not choose to take action at this time. At noon, the boat safely arrived at the ferry opposite the Tiancang River and stopped.
After Gu Chan led everyone to unload the goods and reload them, he did not dare to stop for a moment and quickly left Dujiang Town here and headed deeper into the Jiangnan area.
Gu Chan was sitting in the carriage and saw that the Tiancang River was getting farther and farther behind. She finally let out a long sigh of relief and said, "Finally, we can cross the river safely. Fortunately, there is no danger. Otherwise, if I want to cross the river so easily, That is simply impossible. "
"Boss, Brother Bai told us this morning that after crossing the river, we will go a hundred miles further to Jiangnan City, a city in the hinterland of Jiangnan. "Should we sell the herbs first?" Ma Zheng said.
“Let’s settle down first and get in touch with Wei Xing and the others. It doesn’t matter whether we sell these herbs or not. The main purpose is to promote the unique business model of our Yaoduoduo Caravan.” Gu Chan said with a smile.
Ma Zheng nodded understandingly.
Gu Chan said, "You drank so much last night and your minds are not clear now. You should get some sleep again."
"Thank you for your concern, boss." Ma Zheng said with emotion.
After saying that, he immediately lay down and fell asleep.
Gu Chan did not disturb him, got up and went to sit on the front of the car outside, and drove off with Yuan Jie.
The two chatted while driving, both looking forward to the huge Jiangnan City ahead.
