Shifang Wusheng

Not far away, Cheng Kai and a few escorts used the luggage and clothes of the two people who were dragged away to make a simple cemetery, and made different marks with some things that are not easy to perish.

This is the only trace left by the two of them.

Everyone quickly packed up the escort carts without stopping, quickly took their things across the bridge, and left this place.

Before leaving, someone toasted the two tombs with water instead of wine, and someone silently put something on the cemetery.

Everyone fell silent, stopped talking, cleaned up quietly, and drove away quietly.

When he was leaving, Wei He discovered that the horse was also missing, probably dragged away by the monster black lunatic last night.

Cross the long and ancient stone bridge until you arrive at the destination town.

After everyone handed over the escort, they felt a little more relaxed.

On the way back, there was nothing to say, because there was no escort, and everyone traveled lightly, and the speed was much faster.

It took eight days to go, but only six days to come back.Saved two days before and after.

It's just that everyone no longer has the interest in chatting and competing, and only occasionally speaks and handovers according to the rules.

On the way back, when they passed the stone bridge again, they also crossed quickly without stopping.

When we were about to arrive at Feiye City, we took a short break on the way.

Wei He saw that Cheng Kai took out a crude hand-painted map, and used something like a red crayon to make a heavy mark on the stone bridge.

He blinked and saw that there were at least a dozen red dots densely packed along the road on the map.

However, they didn't encounter so many dangers in the process of chasing darts along the way, and the last bridgehead room should be a new point that they had never encountered before.

"Do you feel that we are not in so many dangers?" Cheng Jing sat down next to him and asked in a low voice.

After arriving here, everyone is in a better mood and has time to talk.

"..." Wei He glanced at her, not knowing how to reply.

"Every red dot on the map represents the place where someone died." Cheng Jing said in a low voice, "The reason why we can spend most of the time in the darts is because of the leadership of the big escort."

"How to avoid each red dot, when is the best time to travel, and what needs to be prepared, these big escorts are well aware of it.

And such a map, I have seen it before, there are so many escort agencies. "Cheng Jing compared the thickness of both hands, about the length of a palm.

Chapter 20

"..." Wei He understood.It seems that these old men and big escorts are the real biggest wealth of the escort agency.

He thought about it for a while, and secretly wrote down the location of the bridgehead house that he passed this trip.

Cheng Jing at the side spoke again.

"That night, I just used to provoke people, don't you mind."

"It's okay." Wei He was a little confused as to whether the woman was acting then or now.

What she said seemed to be somewhat true, some false, or half true and false?

But in a blink of an eye, he saw Cheng Kai not far away, looking this way.

I also have some guesses in my mind.I think Cheng Kai, the chief escort, is helping to resolve the conflict.

Cheng Qing's tone seemed to be sincere.

Cheng Jing said a few more words, then got up and left.

Wei He picked up the dry biscuits, filled the small pieces with water, stuffed them into his mouth, mixed a piece of snake meat from time to time, and kept silent.

Along the way, they soon re-entered within ten miles of Feiye City.

The number of ox carts and horses on the road gradually increased.Everyone's mood has also relaxed a lot, at least not as depressed as before.

Soon, the team entered the city and returned to the Escort. After handing over the records in front of the gate of the Yonghe Escort, a special person from the Escort came out to verify the wages of the individuals on the way.

According to the rules, if someone dies in danger on the road, everyone will have to pay a little extra.

It's just that the amount of money distributed was too heavy, and many people chose to replace it with meat sticks.

Smoked and dried bacon strips, more than ten catties a piece, can be worth a lot of money.Some people also changed the cloth. Cloth of various colors and more expensive silk cloth are now hard currency.

Wei He hesitated for a while, and exchanged most of the money for meat, rice, and cloth, and carried it home in a big bag.

Now this money is getting more and more worthless, and I really don't know when it will completely collapse. It is better to stock up more food and exchange it as hard currency.

After returning home to put away his things, he looked around at the somewhat shabby house, and felt more and more that he should live in another place.

From home to Shiqiao Town where Huishanquan is located, there are many gray areas in the middle, which is troublesome.

Now there is so much food left at home, and no one is looking at it, maybe someone will touch it someday.

Sit on the only wooden bench in the room.

Wei He let his body shine in the sunlight coming in from the window, which made it warmer.

He recalled what he had seen and heard on this trip.

He simply took out a stack of yellow paper and a few charcoal pencils from under the table and from the back of the table.

Spread the rough yellow paper on the table and pick up the charcoal pencil.

Using the posture of holding a pen in his previous life, he quickly began to write and draw on the paper.

Not long after, the places, routes, surrounding terrain, place names, customs and customs along the way.Where can I stay in a hotel, where can I get supplies and rest.

He roughly recorded it.

Then at the bridgehead room, a circle was made to indicate danger.

And that monster...

Wei He took out another piece of paper and recorded the characteristics of the monster.He can't draw, but he can record the salient features, characteristics, attack methods, etc.

After some work, Wei He put away the yellow paper, washed up, and lay down on the bed to get ready to rest.

It's just that the mattress on the bed smelled of sweat and an unknown smell, which made it difficult for him to fall asleep.

The skin that touches the bedding also seems to be a little itchy.

"It seems that this quilt has not been washed or dried for several months..." Wei He recalled it now.

He remembered that he told his second sister a while ago not to go back to his home here, it's not safe.

Then it seems that since then, the house here has become more and more dirty.

Suddenly he felt itchy on his thigh.

Surprised, Wei He quickly lifted the quilt, and there was a black cockroach lying on his lap.

The cockroach shook its tentacles and was frightened. It swished down its thighs and crawled along the bed towards the gap against the wall.

Wei He instinctively stepped on it.

slap.

Then he remembered that he was barefoot...

A sticky feeling mixed with a hard shell spread from the soles of the feet to the whole body.

After being stunned for a while, he quickly got up and went out to wash the soles of his feet vigorously with the water in the tank.

After tossing and tossing for a while, he returned to the room exhausted, this time he didn't want to lie on the bed anymore.There was also an extra yellow stain on the bed.

He packed up, simply carried his things, and headed towards the second sister.

Put the things with Wei Ying first, and then go back to the Shanquan yard to sleep!

He decided to quickly buy a house this time, let himself and his second sister move in, and open a steamed stuffed bun shop!

……

……

……

Stone Bridge Town.

Near the Feiye River, a series of houses and residences are empty and deserted.

A yawning old man walked to the door of a house and used the key in his hand to unlock the three big locks hanging on the door.

The old man was dressed in a dusty long coat, with an unlit lantern on his back, and a large bunch of various keys pinned to his waist.

"This house also meets your requirements. It's called Shanju. It used to be a rich businessman's residence, but later the rich businessman went to other places and moved his family, so he left this house and sold it to us Yaren at a low price."

"What's the price?" Behind the old man was a tall and strong young man, dressed in gray and white clothes, highlighting his strong and well-proportioned streamlined muscles.

The young man has bright eyes and a calm demeanor. It is Wei He who just put away the things from the second sister.

Without stopping, he immediately found a dentist in the city that specializes in buying and selling houses.

Then immediately ask someone to take him to see the house.

The dentist roughly asked him about the type of house he wanted to buy, and then asked him about the price he would accept.

So I found an old man, led the way, and showed him the house on the spot.

The black painted door opened with a creaking sound.

Inside is a cobblestone path, which is the footpath for entering and exiting the door.

Through the gate and a small porter's house, there is a white-walled courtyard.

The yard is small, but elegantly furnished.

There is a small pond on the left, with a timer for water droplets in bamboo tubes.A few fallen leaves were floating on the pond, and there were insects crawling slowly on the leaves.

On the right is an old tree whose category is unclear.

The crown of this old tree is scattered, casting a large area of ​​shade.A thick black clothesline was tied to the top of the tree trunk and the wall.

"In the past, the owner of this house liked to imitate calligraphy and paintings, and often invited friends to come here to enjoy tea and paintings.

When I came here before, there were still many paintings hanging on the rope. "

The old man hunchbacked, walked slowly to the door of the main house, and opened the door.

A piece of white ash slowly scattered inside.

"This is the main house for receiving guests. There are four wing rooms on both sides, which can be used as guest rooms, guest rooms, and bedrooms, depending on how you change them.

In addition, there is a hut and a kitchen at the back.Also comes with a small vegetable patch.On the left is the Feiye River, so don't worry about the water source. "

The old man took Wei He to walk around the whole house carefully.

This is the fourth house they have seen.

The location is also in Shiqiao Town, only one street away from Huishan Fist.

Wei He turned around and came to the left side of the room.

In addition to the fence on the left side, there is also a small side door. Outside the door is a path leading directly to the Feiye River.

Pushing open the door, the door is very close to the river, only a few meters away.Standing here, you can hear the sound of rushing water.

"This side used to be by the river. It is very convenient to fish and fetch water. In addition, this Shanju can also see some landscapes of the inner city."

The old man pointed in one direction.

"Hey, did you see that over there? That pavilion is part of a mansion in the inner city. When you live here, you can often hear the sound of playing the piano over there, so you can listen to the music without spending money. Isn't it a good deal? ?”

He grinned, showing a mouthful of big yellow teeth.

Wei He looked in the direction he pointed, and he saw a small pavilion on the far left, which was a part of a large mansion, by the river.

The red-painted and white walls of the mansion, with horned beasts vaguely seen on the eaves, are obviously not ordinary people.

Just when Wei He looked over, he saw two women in white skirts, wearing veils, walking towards the small pavilion with one holding a piano and the other empty-handed.

Both of them came out of the mansion, although there are piles and fences around the pavilion on the river, and they are not allowed to approach.

But the fence alone can't block the view from afar.

But soon, after the two women entered the pavilion, they used some white curtains to cover all sides and block the surrounding sight.

"You see, there are often many good views when you live here." The tooth-man old man smiled wretchedly.

"Before this, there were people who painted small paintings who stayed nearby, just to see the beautiful woman's figure."
