System: I am a second-hand dealer in the world of immortality

At night, Shen Xia tossed and turned and still couldn't sleep. After getting dressed and going out of the tent to get some air, she found Wei Yan sitting by the fire keeping vigil. So she walked over and sat down next to Wei Yan.

"Uncle Wei" Shen Xia called softly.

Wei Yan nodded without saying anything, and used a branch to stir the fire. "Chen Xia," Wei Yan said after the two were silent for a long time, "Have you ever thought about what you are going to do if you can't find your second uncle and grandpa?"

Shen Xia was silent. The reckless enthusiasm he had when he set out had disappeared. "I'll probably find a place where I can work first, and then plan slowly. I don't know what will happen in the future, but I have to survive first." This is Shen Xia's main idea at the moment. Survive first, and then consider other things.

Wei Yan nodded and didn't continue talking. He felt pity for Shen Xia. Shen Xia's performance in the caravan along the way was obvious to all. She had an eye for things and was quick to do things. She was also astute. In private, Wei Yan wants to keep Shen Xia in the escort agency. With such a girl, the atmosphere is much more lively, but he is not the only one who has the final say in the escort agency. Moreover, there are so many people in the escort agency who need to be supported. When the time comes, Where will Shen Xia be taken back and arranged? Does anyone else have any ideas? Taking a step back, is Shen Xia willing? After all, Wei Yan had traveled all over the country for so many years. He could tell that Shen Xia would not want to be trapped in the escort agency. As for what Shen Xia said about her second uncle and grandfather, Wei Yan didn't believe it at all.

The two of them did not continue chatting and just sat quietly next to the fire. From time to time, Wei Yan would pick out one or two potatoes or eggs from the fire and share them with Shen Xia. Maybe it was because it was too warm next to the fire, or maybe there was a different kind of quietness in the woods at night. Shen Xia forgot how she fell asleep. She just felt dazed. Wei Yan picked her up and handed her to the two aunts. An aunt helped her take off her coat, wiped her hands and face, and then she was put into bed.

It was so good. Shen Xia suddenly felt the warmth similar to that of a family member. Her nose felt sour and tears fell out. Then she heard the two aunts say: "Oh, why are you still crying? Did you have a nightmare? Aunt Let me touch your head." Feeling the warmth from the palm of her hand on her forehead, Shen Xia responded vaguely. With worries about the unknown future and longing for her family, Shen Xia gradually fell asleep.

The overall atmosphere of the caravan on the second day was happy. We had been traveling for more than a month and we were about to arrive in Tiansheng City. How could we not be happy? Only those aunts who had good relations with Shen Xia were a little worried and called Shen Xia no less than ten times throughout the morning. Since noon is the last meal of the trip, it is also called the "offer meal" and is usually very sumptuous, so everyone is busy. Even Mr. Hu did not turn on another stove and stood there with a smile. Chatting with Wei Yan beside the makeshift stove.

Strangely enough, after Mr. Hu gave Shen Xia the Pisces jade pendant that night, he never showed any interest in Shen Xia again, as if nothing happened that night. In fact, Shen Xia can also understand that Mr. Hu gave him the jade pendant as if he was making a bet, and he was making a bet prematurely. Maybe this jade pendant is of high value to others, but to Mr. Hu, it may be just for his entertainment. He doesn't care about winning or losing. Mr. Hu is like a fisherman, he has thrown out the bait. He doesn't care whether he takes the bait or not. What I enjoy is watching the fish swirl around the bait, and Shen Xia is one of them.

No one asked Shen Xia to help when preparing the meal at noon, so Shen Xia could only wash the dishes and pass the dishes around. There were two large dishes for lunch today. It is no exaggeration to say that this is the most sumptuous meal Shen Xia has eaten so far. Mr. Hu sat at the head, and Wei Yan was next to the left side of Mr. Hu and his party, followed by the two young men and Wang Xiaofang's family. Shen Xia didn't want to sit at Mr. Hu's table. As soon as he sat down next to the two aunts, Wei Yanti slipped and sat next to him.

Before she came here, Shen Xia was a standard social animal. What she hated most about company dinners or business receptions was sitting at the same table with the leaders. She had to listen to the glorious history of their fortunes, flatter them without any trace, and toast them. , reciprocate various links, after the whole dinner party, colleagues at other tables were laughing and talking about showing off their meals, but what about the leader’s table? The leader entertained her like a spring breeze, but Shen Xia drank more wine than rice.

Fortunately, we still had to rush on the road in the afternoon, and the dining environment was not suitable for flattery. After saying a few words, Mr. Hu announced that it was time to dine . Maybe it's because this world also has a rule of not eating without speaking. Most of the people at the table ate quietly and politely. Only Wang Xiaofang was almost leaving an afterimage when picking up the dishes at the dinner table - as a lovely wife, she has to take responsibility for everything. My precious husband and son are doing the cooking. The way Shen Xia looked at Wang Xiaofang reminded her of the spoiled wife literature on the Internet in her previous life, but she didn't expect that she could encounter it in this world.

While enjoying Wang Xiaofang's performance, Shen Xia also had a large piece of fish meat with shaved bones in her bowl. Wei Yan gave it to her. Shen Xia turned her head slightly and looked at Wei Yan. Wei Yan then gave her a few more chopsticks. As she added, she said, "You can eat what others are doing, too." Shen Xia understood. Wei Yan thought she was hurt by seeing Wang Xiaofang's dish. Shen Xia didn't explain, and gave Wei Yan a large piece of meat. , smiled stupidly at Wei Yan: "Thank you, Uncle Wei, uncle will eat it too!"

Overall, Shen Xia felt very comfortable eating this meal. She even came up with the idea of ​​packing it. After all, she was not sure whether she would have anything to eat at night. While everyone was packing their things, Wei Yan called Shen Xia aside and handed a copper token to Shen Xia: "Chen Xia, after all, I was the one who brought you to Tiansheng City. I still have to give you some money." I am responsible for your personal safety. If you cannot find your relatives in Tiansheng City, or encounter any difficulties, take this token and go to our escort office in Tiansheng City. I will come to take you back. , if you have settled in Tiansheng City, remember to write to me. The aunts in the escort agency are all thinking about you. I will be in Tiansheng City these days. If you need anything, you can always come to me. I."

The token is engraved with "Guard" on the front and "Wei" on the reverse. It must be the token of the Escort Bureau. Shen Xia nodded and put the token into her arms. To be honest, she felt a little complicated. She originally didn't plan to have much to do with the people in the escort agency, so when she had the first dispute with Wang Xiaofang, no one stepped forward to help her, and she didn't blame them. However, as time went by, the uncle in the escort agency The aunts were all very kind to Shen Xia, especially the two aunts who cooked and Wei Yan. Maybe there is indeed something about Mr. Hu in it, but now that Wei Yan gave her the token, it was entirely out of his own personal feelings. Shen Xia didn't know how to respond to this feeling.

In fact, Wei Yan's thinking was very simple. He felt that Shen Xia was too young to go out and make a living. When the time comes, she would come back to him after hitting a wall in Tiansheng City. At the worst, she would be raised as his daughter.

Wei Yan giving the token was just a small incident, and no one in the caravan noticed it. After a short rest, they continued to head to Tiansheng City. Since Tiansheng City is the only place in Chu State that connects the world of immortality and the mortal world, and is also specially divided into a business area, there are strict management regulations for entering and exiting the city gates of Tiansheng City, and the road guides need to be checked, like Hu Businessmen like me also need to pay additional taxes and fees.

It stands to reason that Mr. Hu's goods need to be inspected, weighed, and paid taxes when entering the city. This is a long process, so Shen Xia, Wang Xiaofang's family, and the two young men took the caravan car to the city gate and the journey ended. But even if Shen Xia entered Tiansheng City, she had no destination, so she simply waited aside and left after Mr. Hu's trip was over. Wang Xiaofang's family simply didn't want to walk, so the two young men saw this and were waiting nearby.

Shen Xia stood aside and listened to the chats of the escorts and the guide map of Tiansheng City at the gate of the city, and also had a preliminary impression of Tiansheng City.

Tiansheng City is square in shape, surrounded by mountains on three sides and facing the sea in the east. Xianzhou also docks near the sea. The roads in the city are divided into a tic-shaped shape. There are two commercial centers, one in Dongcheng District and the other in Xicheng District. The residential areas are mainly concentrated in the middle of Tiansheng City. In the north, there are mainly the City Lord's Mansion, Tiansheng Academy and palace temples.

Those two young men and Wang Xiaofang's husband came to Tiansheng City to study. Tiansheng Academy is on the same level as the Royal Academy of Chu. It is said that the immortals of Tianguan Sect sometimes went to Tiansheng Academy to give lectures when they traveled down the mountain. In the early years, they also Some students actually touched the threshold of cultivating immortals because they were promoted by immortals, and moved their families to the world of immortal cultivation. Tiansheng Academy not only recruits students from government officials, but also students from common people. Therefore, students from Chu State and even other countries came here because of its reputation. However, Tiansheng Academy has a strict admissions assessment. It is said that this admissions assessment is modeled after that of Tianguan Sect.

Shen Xia didn't want to go to Tiansheng Academy to study, so she didn't pay much attention to the relevant information about Tiansheng Academy. The Yun Pavilion where Mr. Hu is located is in the Dongcheng District of Tiansheng City. It is also the largest trading platform in Tiansheng City and even the Chu State. Yun Pavilion not only has rare treasures from various countries in the mortal world, but also circulates items from the world of cultivation. This is also the only trading platform authorized by Tianguan Sect in the Chu Kingdom to sell items from the world of cultivation. Not only that, Yun Loft also has a low-end market selling various daily necessities with high quality and low price. That's why when Mr. Hu gave the Pisces jade pendant to Shen Xia, the reaction of others was so great.

But these are not important to Shen Xia at the moment. She picked up a small stone at the gate of Tiansheng City and it was time to submit the task.
