At dusk, the caravan arrived at a small town, where all business travelers were stationed, including single gangs, small caravans, and large trading houses like Qingfeng.

Qingfeng Trading Company has its own headquarters, and the caravan still likes Lou Jinchen as a person who paid the money but still obeyed without bringing any goods.

However, Lou Jinchen stayed in the carriage all day and only came out when eating, which made him seem a bit cold and mysterious.

When he went out to eat, many people looked at him curiously, but he didn't care. After practicing the invisibility method in the busy city, he no longer cared about all kinds of looks.

.

However, as soon as he appeared, a little girl ran over and looked expectantly at the vine he was holding in his hand.

Lou Jinchen raised the rattan in his hand and motioned to find a table to sit down.

There is a large canteen in the station, where the bodyguards and guys in the business can eat. Of course, there is also an inner room where the shopkeeper, the shopkeepers, and the headguards eat.

This trading company not only sells Qingfeng Trading Company's own goods, but also has several small trading companies combined with Qingfeng. Of course, they have to pay, and the escort agency is Qingfeng Trading Company's own escort agency, called Qingfeng Escort Agency, which is usually only

Take over business from Qingfeng Trading Company.

The little girl was very happy and followed Lou Jinchen. Lou Jinchen found an empty table and sat down. Someone immediately served the food. Everyone ate the same thing because they had paid money when they joined.

No need to pay extra.

"Is there any wine?" Lou Jinchen asked the waiter who was serving the food.

"There are some guests, but if you want to serve wine, you have to pay extra." The waiter said, bending slightly.

"Well, first take a couple of dimes of the best wine you have here and try it." Lou Jinchen said.

"Sir, we only have one kind of wine here, called yellow wheat wine." The waiter said.

"Bring it up and try it first." Lou Jinchen has stopped drinking these days, and he is very greedy when he drinks, as if he is thirsty, but drinking water does not quench his thirst.

It turned out that when I first came to this world, I suppressed my alcohol addiction due to the pressure of survival. After drinking the wine given by Miao Qingqing that night, my alcohol addiction became aroused again.

However, his addiction to alcohol does not mean he wants to drink all the time. He only wants to drink a few sips when he is in a bad mood or when he is in a good mood.

He is in a good mood now. He has read all the books and gained so much spiritual knowledge, so he is naturally happy.

After a while, the wine was served. After taking a sip, he tasted it. It was a bit like beer. It was yellow, a little turbid, and tasted sour. Lou Jinchen took just one sip and stopped drinking.

I only ate a little bit of food, but it didn't taste very good, so I didn't eat any more.

So I sat there, lazily watching the little girl next to me feeding the little hedgehog nuts. A little boy was attracted and leaned over, watching eagerly.

He also wanted to feed him nuts, but the little girl squeezed him aside with her elbows and refused to let him feed him.

The little boy didn't dare to say anything. After holding the table for a while, he glanced at Lou Jinchen and ran away. After a while, he pulled a rich middle-aged fat man over.

The middle-aged fat man cupped his fists and said, "This little brother has a tight face. Is this your first time selling goods?"

"?" Lou Jinchen said: "Take the goods? I don't take the goods, I'm just passing by."

"Haha, no matter what, we are destined to meet each other. I am the shopkeeper here. Could you please ask me for a favor?" said the middle-aged fat shopkeeper.

"It turns out it's the shopkeeper, please tell me." Lou Jinchen said.

"My son is very fond of this little brother, the hedgehog in the bush. I wonder if he can part with me?" said the fat middle-aged shopkeeper.

The hedgehog in the beetle made a squeaking sound, telling Lou Jinchen that he could not agree.

Lou Jinchen glanced at the little boy, his eyes were full of expectation. Lou Jinchen smiled and said: "Love is the emotional gestation deep in the heart. It turns from closeness to joy, and finally brews into admiration. It is invisible.

Thoughts without substance are lingering in life, how can they be cut off?"

The middle-aged fat shopkeeper didn't expect that he would hear such words. He seemed to understand but didn't understand. He felt that the young man in front of him was deliberately showing off literature, so he thought: "Even if you have learned a lot, it depends on whether you live or die."

How to behave in front of others."

That night, he went to the big shopkeeper, hoping that he could kick Lou Jinchen out of the caravan. Naturally, the big shopkeeper didn't want to agree. Lou Jinchen gave him money and asked for his personal permission to go with the caravan.

He couldn't let himself lose credibility, let alone Qingfeng Trading Company. If he did this, after the incident spread, how would other small caravans dare to trust Qingfeng Trading Company again, and how would they look at him.

But the person in front of him was the wife's brother of the boss. Even though he was the boss, he couldn't easily be offended, so he immediately asked why.

How could this fat man say that he wanted to buy the other party's hedgehog? He was angry because the other party refused to sell it. He only said that he wanted to say hello, but was ridiculed by the other party's words.

The big shopkeeper didn't quite believe what he said, and the fat man said that if this happened, he would write to his sister and ask her to thank him on his behalf.

The big shopkeeper knew that the other party was using his sister to pressure him, and he was angry in his heart, but it was hard to show it on his face, so he handed over his hand perfunctorily, but the fat man smiled. He felt that the big shopkeeper would definitely do what he wanted in the end. After all,

A person who can be a big shopkeeper not only has the ability, but also needs to balance relationships and know how to deal with things. He does not believe that the big shopkeeper will offend himself for the sake of a one-man gang.

The big shopkeeper returned to his house, opened the door and inquired about what had happened. Knowing that his granddaughter was also present, he asked her to find out that it was indeed Fatty Wang who wanted to sell the hedgehog but failed to get it, so he kicked him out of the team.

He wandered in the room, thinking that this matter may seem like a small matter, but to him it is a big deal. On the one hand, he may offend Mrs. Wang, and on the other hand, it may damage his credibility and Qingfeng's credibility.

Finally, he decided to go find the young man and perform a scene tomorrow morning so that he would not follow him in front of Fatty Wang, as if he was being expelled, and then he would catch up from behind and join the team.

In the next section of the road, there is a mountain road with many bandits. It is too dangerous for a person to go alone.

Lou Jinchen was easier to talk to than he thought, and he agreed as soon as he opened his mouth.

But the little hedgehog said angrily on the table: "That fat man is so bad, I don't like him at all."

The next day, the big shopkeeper took the people to leave first. Lou Jinchen didn't come out and no one called him. Fatty Wang was watching not far away, but suddenly said loudly: "Lou Jinchen committed a crime last night."

Follow the rules and expel the caravan."

He actually insisted on making this matter public and made it known to everyone. The big shopkeeper was so angry that he didn't say anything.

But Fatty Wang said that he was also going to Wanghaijiao and had already prepared his carriage.

"Wang's child has reached the right age. A few days ago, my sister has obtained a place for him to enter Wanghai Dao Pavilion and is about to go with him." Fatty Wang said loudly, attracting a burst of congratulations from everyone. Wang

The fat man was a little proud.

The big shopkeeper just felt that he had been tricked by Fatty Wang. Last night he said that he would send a letter to his sister to thank him, which made him mistakenly think that he would not leave here at all as usual, but now he has to go in person.

"If Shopkeeper Wang leaves, who will be in charge of this place?" the shopkeeper asked, knowing that he would not be able to stop him even if he asked.

"Wang has his own arrangements for this matter, so I don't need the shopkeeper to worry about it," Fatty Wang said.

At that moment, the caravan set off again, and Lou Jinchen naturally could not follow everyone, so he prepared food by himself, not only for people, but also for horses. However, he did not buy food for horses, but directly

He exchanged the horse for some wine, and then let his Italian horse drive the cart.

The carriage rocked forward all the way. Lou Jinchen was lying there with his head on the package and the book on his stomach. The little hedgehog lay on the book again and read to him.

The Italian horse did not walk very fast, from early morning to evening.

Then he caught up with the caravan in front. The caravan was camped on the roadside. The people in the caravan saw two groups of fire approaching in the darkness from a distance. The escorts immediately put people on alert. After the carriage got closer,

Only then did they see clearly that it was a carriage. The fire was the horse's eyes, but there was no one driving the carriage at all.

This supernatural feeling immediately made the bodyguards understand that the people in the carriage were not ordinary people.

"Isn't that the carriage of our trading company?"

This carriage was indeed provided by the trading company. The horse was replaced by Lou Jinchen, but the carriage was still the original one with Qingfeng's mark on it.

This also alarmed the shopkeeper and Fatty Wang. Their eyes flickered as they looked at the carriage driving away in the dark night. The sound of the carriage kept coming, from near to far, and slowly disappeared into the darkness.

"Brother Lou is indeed an extraordinary person." The big shopkeeper said with emotion. Naturally, he also told Fatty Wang next to him.

"Could the person in the carriage be the boy who raised the hedgehog?" Fatty Wang asked.

"Of course, that hedgehog is supernatural and seems to understand human speech, so how can it be raised by ordinary people?"

Fatty Wang didn't look so good. He couldn't tell that the shopkeeper was sarcastically sarcastic about his desire to buy other people's spiritual objects.

He couldn't help but said: "So what if they know some minor spells? There are no less than ten people in our caravan who know some minor spells. Why don't they still have to obey our orders? It's okay not to practice the heretical arts until my son joins."

Only when you have cultivated the correct Dharma in Wanghaidao Pavilion can you be called a true monk."

He also heard this from his sister. Otherwise, with his knowledge, he would not be able to distinguish the difference between heretical ways, side sects and the righteous Dharma.

The next day, the caravan moved forward again. When it came to the narrow road where strongmen were present, the caravan suddenly slowed down.

There were corpses lying on the road. Each of these corpses had their swords unsheathed, but each of them had their eyebrows stabbed, and blood flowed all over the ground.

The corpses were lying on both sides. There was only one carriage passing in the middle of the road. It seemed that there was a carriage moving forward, and there was a man sitting on the carriage waving a sword. The sword was sure to hit. The bandits rushed over and were stabbed in the carriage.

under.

And on this road, the only person walking in front of them was Lou Jinchen's driver last night.

As the caravan continued to move forward, the bodyguard unexpectedly saw a bandit who was still alive in a ditch and asked him what happened. The man was already unconscious and only murmured: "It's so fast, it's so bright."

sword."

Fatty Wang obviously thought of something, and couldn't help but murmur in his heart, thinking to himself: "Did I really offend someone special?"

Then he thought: "If you really have extraordinary abilities, how can you withstand my anger? You must just practice ordinary swordsmanship better. My son can practice the correct method after entering Wanghai Taoist Pavilion."

Then I thought: "This time we miss each other, we will never see each other again, so why should I worry about others?"

…

It was another dusk, and there was a big city lying in the distance between the sky and the earth. A carriage came from the north. There was a man sitting on the carriage, with his eyes closed, as if sniffing the smell in the air. There was a dragon on this man's shoulder.

The hedgehog followed his example and sniffed the air.

"I smell the sea." Lou Jinchen said.

"What is the smell of the sea?" The little hedgehog has grown up and has never seen the sea, so of course he doesn't know what the sea smells like.

"The taste of the sea is slightly salty and fishy, ​​but it makes people yearn for it and want to explore its depth and secrets." Lou Jinchen said.

"It doesn't sound very pleasant." The little hedgehog said with some disgust. She still thought the smell of the forest was good.
