Chapter 34

At this time, the sun has gradually set. Although there is still a little light, it is just afterglow.

You can vaguely see a line of black shadows slowly approaching from afar on the stretching official road in the distance.

Zhang Baoren looked at him carefully, and the light flashed in his eyes, like a mirror and a sword... A line of carriages and horses moved forward in a row, and the line was very long.

This is a fleet.

Currently, he is a thin old man riding a dark horse, looking around vigilantly. The old man looks thin but his eyes are shining. His body density is far greater than that of ordinary people. He is obviously a warrior.

Then there was a group of trucks and wooden vans, with sacks covered on it, and on the top it was tightly wrapped in straw mats that looked like straw raincoats. The truck was loaded with... grain!

The livestock that pulls the carts include cattle and horses, and they are fat and thin. The ones who carry the carts are all strong men wearing the same outfits.

There was a carriage in the middle of the convoy, pulled by two shiny and shiny horses. The carriage was black all over, looking strong but not ostentatious.

There were two people sitting inside, one was a girl who kept fanning with handkerchiefs and dressed up as a maid; the other was a lady wearing a bright blue Taoist robe and sitting dignifiedly, with a gentle and long breath, and a woman in men's clothing.

Obviously a caravan that sells goods.

And it is not an ordinary small caravan. There are more than a dozen people in this rank, including two female relatives, who have the skills to do.

After seeing the details of the visitor clearly, Zhang Baoren felt relieved and withdrew his gaze.

He said to the Yin Old Man beside him: "A mortal caravan leads a martial arts master, and a female boss also practices upper-level kung fu. These two people are worth caring about."

"Well..." Old Yin nodded and smiled, "What a good eye!"

"You want the 'Five Colored Divine Cow Tears', just for this eye technique, right?"

"The Divine Niu Tears are a top-grade spiritual medicine specially used for pupil training. But the 'hollow willow leaves' are added... I don't know which pupil technique has this need..."

Old Yin thought for a while, then frowned and chuckled at Zhang Baoren: "It seems that your inheritance is really extraordinary..."

"It's OK, it's OK..."

Zhang Baoren smiled awkwardly and blew up.

The inheritance is indeed extraordinary...

But I can't say it!

Mr. Yin did not go into it in depth. Seeing that Zhang Baoren didn't want to say it, he skipped this topic.

"I originally planned to arrive at the destination within one day and explore the situation where the demon tree is. I took action the next day and tried to go back that day...

However, human calculations are not as good as God's calculations. I suffered an accident on the way and my original plan was disrupted, so there was nothing I could do.

Judging from the weather, it is impossible to rush to the road now, let’s take a rest here for a night…”

Zhang Baoren looked at the sky, nodded and said, "It seems that this is the only way..."

Then the two of them found some dry firewood nearby and piled it up as a roadside.

Even if you don't need to make a fire, the flames in the wild are not just for warmth, but they have other functions.

After finishing their work, the two sat down again. Zhang Baoren took out two big cakes from his bag and handed them to Yin Lao.

The warm and soft pasta had already lost all its moisture after being exposed to the sun for a day. It was as hard as tree bark, and it had to be swallowed by water.

There is no need to say much about the taste.

If it weren't for the fact that the water had not been in, and he was so hungry, Zhang Baoren would have really couldn't eat such things.

Seeing Zhang Baoren's face full of discomfort, Yin Lao grinned and said, "I knew you are a person with a sharp mouth and a particularity..."

Whether it is traveling for businessmen or something urgent, as long as the sun sets, you can't leave anymore.

And if a few people who don’t know each other when night falls, they must also stay together, light a fire, rely on each other, and survive the darkness.

Otherwise, disaster will arise.

This is also the reason why the caravan and his team set up camp not far away.

People who are away from home all year round pay attention to this.

The thin old man smiled more kindly when he heard this, "If you have something to do, please take care of yourself!"

Old Yin also smiled kindly, "Meeting is fate, let's support each other..."

"That... actually there is something to ask for..."

The thin old man wanted to speak but stopped, looking at the half watermelon next to the two with some embarrassment, "I just saw the two eating sweetly here... We have women on this trip... so..."

After saying that, he quickly added, "I will definitely not take advantage of you two for nothing. We who do business know the best what preciousness means.

How can a watermelon at this time be worth two hundred ci?"

"I've given you the melon."

Zhang Baoren spoke decisively.

The thin old man looked at Zhang Baoren in surprise, his smile continued to diminish. He clasped his fists again and said, "Thank you two."

As he said that, he took out a string of copper coins from his arms and threw them to Zhang Baoren.

Then he bent down and reached out to pick up half of the watermelon, turned around and left.

Looking at his departure back, Old Yin turned around and smiled at Zhang Baoren, who was counting copper coins, and said, "You sold the melon like this?"

Zhang Baoren weighed the copper coins in his hand, "A watermelon may not be worth even two cents, but now it can be sold for two hundred cents, half of it is only one hundred cents. If it is not sold, it is a fool."

"And we didn't spend a penny on that melon. Now we eat half a melon for free. People can still get fifty cents, so no matter how you calculate it, you will make a profit."

"Is that fool?"

Old Yin smiled and said, "The head of such a large caravan has been doing business all his life, and even his eyelashes are hollow. Why would he spend a hundred times the price to buy your melon?"

Zhang Baoren was stunned at first, his eyes turned, and then he smiled strangely: "Although the man who looked old just now seemed to be weak, he was the most powerful person in the entire caravan."

"He came alone to...test!"

"Although he was full of gentleness, he always stood about three steps away from us, not far or near, not far away, not too far and prepared, and could fight or run.

Even when he finally took the watermelon, he was extremely cautious. His eyes never left us from beginning to end, and his hand was always hanging without moving.

Although I don’t know any martial arts routines, I can see his tight muscles.”

"And the reason why he spent a hundred dollars to buy watermelon is not because he felt sorry for his female family. This is both a loss of money and a loss of color, and he is also fishing...

While he was saying this, he was watching us seriously, and at this time his muscles were tightest."

After saying all that he had observed, he looked at Mr. Yin.

Old Yin picked up the water bag and took a sip, adding with a smile: "There is another point, it's so far away and the sky is so dark, he can see that there are watermelons here. This is knocking in the dark and revealing his teeth at the same time!"

Zhang Baoren was stunned when he heard this, turned around and looked at the caravan. The watermelon in the old man's hand was clearly visible...

I thought that I was already different from ordinary people, but I subconsciously regarded this as normal.

I understand that Yin is always reminding myself and don’t make any obstructions on knowledge and knowledge.

Then I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "But just a few words, there are so many meanings, these old worlds are really..."





The thin old man carried the watermelon back to the caravan camp. The little girl hurried forward with a happy face and then rinsed the watermelon aside, split and processed...

The lady in Taoist robe greeted the old man: "Uncle Mo, how about it?"

"It looks like two ordinary Taoist priests, without any trace of martial arts, nor do they look like fierce people."

The thin old man said in a deep voice. At this time, the kindness on his face disappeared, and his face was full of seriousness. "Although I can't see any abnormality, I always feel that these two people are not that simple..."

The Taoist lady whispered: "Don't Uncle Mo know who can't mess with people in the world?"

The thin old man was slightly stunned. Although he thought this question was naive, he still answered seriously:

"The most important thing to provoke in the world is monks, Taoists, etc., as well as vulnerable people like the elderly, children, women, etc.

The former is far away from the world and has a profound heritage; the latter must rely on it."

But for the truth that is widely circulated in the world, the girl in Taoist robe shook her head, "What you said is wrong, or it is not completely correct.

I once heard from the teacher that the most important thing to mess with in this world is the real 'Taoist'."

"You mean those two..."

"I don't know, but I know that the two of them dare to spend the night in the wilderness and remain calm, they must not be ordinary people."

Old Yin shook slightly when he heard this, as if he had thought of something. He looked frightened on his face. He turned his head and looked in the direction he had just walked, his eyes were unpredictable...

He took the handed handed by the maid, put it in a small bowl and cut it into small pieces. The lady from Taoist robes inserted a piece of watermelon with a bamboo stick and put it into her mouth.

Then he looked at the sky and ordered: "Make a fire."

The little girl next to her wiped her sweat and said pitifully, "It's still so hot now, why don't you wait until it's cooler and make a fire..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted. The thin old man beside him snorted coldly and said, "It is a rule passed down from ancestors to light the fire at night.

Anything can be broken, but the rules cannot be broken!"

The little girl was frightened and her face turned pale...
