Chapter 6 I'm definitely up to the job of a handyman
After descending from the unknown mountain, Wang Dong suddenly realized a serious problem - he didn't know where the Xingsu Valley in Zhongnan Mountain was. What's more serious is that he didn't even know where Penglai Inn was, and the worst thing was that he didn't know where he was now.
There is no map that can "continuously navigate for you" for him, and there is no passing ride to take it.
The night was dark, and he stood at the foot of the mountain, looking around in a daze, not knowing where he was or where he should go. After thinking for a while, he decided to move forward with intuition first, calculate wherever he went, and wait for dawn before talking about everything.
It has been almost two or three hours since I woke up from "The Horror River" and now. The moon has already fallen into the west mountain, and the darkest moment has arrived between heaven and earth.
This means that dawn is coming.
The ancients often used the phrase "blowing away the stars in one mouthful, nodding to call Fusang Day" to describe people's desire for the sky. Wang Dong finally realized the profound meaning of it, and now he hopes to nodding to call Fusang Day.
It is not worthy of fearing the night, but the feeling of being in a different world that can’t find North makes him feel uncomfortable and it’s too inconvenient.
I thought of the bad handsome Chengyangzi and the white-robed guest. It would be nothing if they could be as tall as they were. They were like the wind, and even more convenient than taking a ride. Unfortunately, Chengyangzi did not pass on a hundred or decades of skills to himself before the military was resolved, otherwise he would have been floating in the sky now... It seems that the "protagonist halo" is indeed a one-time job.
Thinking about it so randomly, I patted the Emperor's Treasure Seal and Iron Token hidden on my body, and felt that the series of things that happened not long ago were somewhat incredible, and felt like a dream.
Who would have thought that yesterday was a waiter who was unknown and would never attract others' attention. Today, he became a waiter who had both treasures and was unknown?
I have to say that Chengyangzi is really scheming. It was because he saw this that he handed over such an important task to himself, because no one in this world would have thought that the bad handsome iron token and the emperor's treasure seal would fall on a waiter.
The sky gradually became brighter and hazy. Wang Dong found himself walking on a spacious official road. Although he still didn't know where he was at this time, he had a rough judgment in his mind that this official road must lead to the city.
Wang Dong speeded up his pace. As soon as he walked a mile or two, he suddenly six or seven horses rushed towards him, all of whom were pretending to be angry and had extraordinary momentum.
The leader was a girl dressed in men's clothes. The girl was slender, heroic, and generous, and she was not allowed to be bearded.
However, since he is riding a horse, he must be just an ordinary warrior rather than a white-robed cultivator or Chengyangzi. After all, how can a cultivator ride a horse?
Wang Dong thought so and quickly went to the side of the road and asked them to go over. Unexpectedly, the girl "shoulder" and saw the black horse neighing, and the man stood up and stopped as soon as he said that, and the divine horse was abnormal.
The other riders also stopped.
"What are you doing?" the girl asked, "Why are you walking alone on the road early in the morning?"
Wang Dong didn't expect the girl to talk to her. He was stunned for a moment and replied, "I am the clerk of Chang'an Chengpeng. Because I saw the beautiful moonlight last night, I sneaked out to enjoy the moon alone. I didn't realize that I forgot the time and returned at this time."
"It's rare for an inn guy to have such a good mood."
Wang Dong smiled and said, "After several storms in Chang'an City, even if you have to get some smoke and water, you will be able to get some art and elegant, which will make the girl laugh."
"You just said Peng came to the inn? Is it the Peng came to the inn on Zhuque Street?" asked the young man with a handsome face on the back of the girl, looking at a girl dressed in a man.
"That's right." Wang Dong nodded.
The few people immediately exchanged their eyes, and the girl in the leader looked at Wang Dong again, and asked tentatively: "So, don't you know about the rebels in Penglai Inn last night?"
"Crashing the thief?" Wang Dong was confused, "What's the thief?"
The girl thought for a while and said, "Penglai Inn last night, a thief made trouble and killed dozens of people from the inn. Finally, she left a torch to burn the inn to ashes."
"What?!" Wang Dong was shocked, "How is this possible?"
Wang Dong's shock was not entirely pretending. He knew that the inn was destroyed by a white-robed guest, but the result of the inn being burned and all the people being killed was far beyond his expectations.
"We just came out of the city and saw it with our own eyes. Will we still lie to you?"
Wang Dong's thoughts flew around and soon realized that this kind of silence method that was disregarding human lives was mostly done by the government, and the purpose was nothing more than to cover up the evil deeds of the white-robed guest.
In order to erase a person's crimes, innocent people are slaughtered and burned. What kind of bastard is this? What kind of dog? Shit official's house?
"Do you have any relatives and friends in the city?" The girl looked sad when she saw Wang Dong's expression, as if she was moved to compassion.
Wang Dong shook his head, "I was fleeing to Shendu and was lucky enough to take in the shopkeeper. Now, I am homeless now..."
The girl pondered for a moment and asked, "Then are you willing to join my Red Line Gang?"
"Red Line Gang?"
"That's right, it's the Red Line Gang, one of the three major gangs in the world..." The girl said this with a proud tone, "You are a mate in Penglai Inn, and you can go to my Red Line Gang to work as a mailman. I guess you will be familiar with it."
Wang Dong thought to himself: "Now that Peng can't go back to the inn, and he can't go to Zhongnan Mountain with nothing. It's better to go to this Red Line to be a temporary worker."
I immediately said with a sincere look: "I have no problem doing things in the kitchen. I am good at doing chores, running halls, and helping the kitchen. I can definitely be competent for the job of chores!"
After saying that, he silently laughed at himself: "What's the point of saying this bitter self-confidence loudly?"
The girl in the leader nodded and turned around and ordered a middle-aged man: "Second brother, please take him with you."
"Yes." The second brother of the Gong responded and greeted Wang Dong: "Little brother, get on the horse."
Wang Dong walked over quickly and stepped onto the second brother's horse's back on the stirrup.
The group of people continued to rush north along the smoke and dust.
Since "The Horror River" was activated, Wang Dong felt that his real experience was as dramatic as the game plot.
First, he witnessed two BOSS-level NPC duels, then was taken away by one of them and received a mission from him. Then he encountered the Red Line Gang and his group triggered the plot of [Join the Red Line Gang]...
