There are always countless regrets in a person's life. Some people regret not confessing to their childhood sweetheart who they have had a crush on for many years on the last day before leaving home; some people regret not being loyal and filial to their parents; Making a lot of money... And the thing Liu Zian regrets most in his life is not knowing people well, and giving his good years to an unreliable master.

Back then, Liu Zian was still a naive young man. Although it was abnormal for him to be so ignorant of the world at his age, but because his father was old, there were many older brothers who were old enough to be his parents. My sister took care of me, and it was a blessing that I didn't grow into a devil king.

That day, Liu Zian was watching two groups of ants fight in the yard, thinking that one group was the soldiers defending the city, and the other group was regarded as the intruders. When the battle between the two sides was in full swing, he heard someone calling: "Little one." Young master, the master called you to the study, saying that there is a guest."

"Come on." Liu Zian had no choice but to get up, hammered his legs that were a little numb from squatting, and thought to himself: Father has always spoiled him, knowing that he doesn't like to see guests, so he never forced it.Calling me over like this today, but I don't know why...

While thinking about it, Liu Zian had already come outside the study.The servant waiting at the side nodded and smiled at him, dialed a thousand, and entered the room to report: "The young master is here." "Tell him to come in." "Yes."

"Young master, the master is here to invite you." The young servant opened the door and made a gesture of invitation.Everything looks normal on the surface, but if you look closely, you will find that the boy's thumb is slightly raised.

Liu Zian breathed a sigh of relief, straightened his clothes, and walked into the room.

When he came to the house, Liu Zian saw his father and a young man standing opposite each other.The man didn't tie his hair up like the others, but had his long hair loose like a woman's. It was black and shiny, and the length of the hair would touch the floor when it stood upright.He has a handsome face, delicate features, and a demeanor and attitude that is like a water lily.Liu Zian was overwhelmed by it all of a sudden, and was stunned at the door.

"Zian, come here. This is Mr. Baohe, a famous travel writer who has been to many interesting places. Don't you like to listen to stories? This gentleman will stay with us for a while, you can go to him Let's chat." After finishing speaking, he turned to the young man and said with a smile, "Mr. Baohe, this is the dog Liu Zian. I'm afraid there will be more troubles in the next few days."

"It's an honor to be able to talk with such a handsome young master. Don't bother me." Mr. Baohe also responded with a smile.

Mr. Baohe is a writer who makes a living by writing travel guides.Originally, this profession did not exist. In the early years, the political situation was turbulent, wars broke out frequently, and wars broke out everywhere. In such years, leaving the land you are familiar with to travel is simply killing yourself.And after the unification of the world, people no longer worry about their lives and began to pursue higher enjoyment, looking forward to visiting places of interest, seeing different scenery, and tasting delicacies in various places in their lifetime.As a result, all kinds of travel guides have become popular, and some people who make a living writing travel guides have emerged as the times require.

By the way, the so-called Baohe is just the pen name this person used when writing the book.It is said that he has another real name, although Liu Zian has inquired about it, but he refuses to tell it.

After the two had a little conversation, one time they met, Mr. Baohe asked Liu Zian what he wanted to do to make a living in the future.

Liu Zian was taken aback by the question, obviously he hadn't considered this question.That's right, his family is well off, his father is a well-known rich man in the local area, and he owns countless shops, and rent collection alone is enough for the whole family's expenses.

The eldest brother doesn't like to do business and loves to wield knives and guns. Later, his father funded him to open a home bodyguard agency, and he is doing well now.

The second elder brother inherited his father's business and managed the family property in an orderly manner, and his income was double that of when his father was in power.

The third brother is naturally quiet, he is a master who does not hear anything outside the window and only reads sage books. Fortunately, the books he has read for so many years are not in vain. hansome.

Although the fourth brother has no skills, he usually likes to go to gambling halls, brothels and so on, but the family can still support him, and his gangster friends have helped the family solve many troubles.

As for the fifth son Liu Zian...

"I haven't made up my mind yet. I don't want to go to the bodyguard agency of the eldest brother... It's not my wish to study and get a good name... Maybe in a few years, the second brother will arrange an errand for me in the shop." Liu Zian thought for a while, and answered road.

Mr. Baohe frowned, and said, "Don't you just plan to stay at home all your life, eat and die, and don't want to see the outside world?"

"So what if you want to leave? My father and my brothers won't let me out of their sight. Besides, it's good to stay at home. You don't have to think about anything, and you don't have to do anything. Someone will help arrange everything." Liu Zian I stretched my waist, sat for too long, and my bones rattled when I moved.

"Then... what if I can take you out? Are you willing to come with me?" Baohe threw out an attractive condition.

"You have that much ability?" Liu Zian didn't believe it, but was a little tempted by his words.

"Try it and you'll know." Baohe narrowed his eyes and smiled slightly.

"Okay, as long as you can take me out..." Liu Zian blushed and looked extremely excited.

"Why, do you still want to make a promise with your body?" Mr. Baohe joked.

Later, I don't know what Mr. Baohe said to Liu Zian's family, but they actually agreed to let Liu Zian run around the world with this lunatic... Of course, as an apprentice.

"Mr. Baohe, why did I become your apprentice." Liu Zian was full of resentment about this.

"Because we hit it off." Mr. Baohe walked in front, looking in a good mood.

"Then why am I picking up the luggage." Liu Zian tilted the package on his back, trying to relax himself.God knows, he has never carried such a heavy thing on his back.

"Because you are my apprentice, master and apprentice go together, how can you ask the master to carry the luggage?"

Liu Zian swears that Mr. Baohe's expression is definitely not the look he should have found a good apprentice, but as if he found a free laborer.No, it should be the labor of subsidizing the money. When I went out, my father was afraid that I would be wronged when I was alone, so I gave a lot of money. As a result, this shameless master said that the property of the master and the apprentice was shared, and he just put the money together.

"During the journey, you will encounter road bandits or thieves; on the mountain road, there will be beasts from time to time. However, if two men are walking together, they should be more or less courageous."

Mr. Baohe promised that all the expenses will be borne by the publishers, and they are just paying in advance, and they can get paid as long as they return safely.The so-called publisher is the bookseller who commissioned him to write the book.They paid him to travel, and then wrote a travel guidebook about what they saw on the way.

Liu Zian, who was slowly adapting to life on the road, began to vaguely look forward to his future life.

However, it was only after several trips with Mr. Baohe that Liu Zian realized that his original decision was too impulsive.Why couldn't a travel writer as famous as him find anyone willing to travel with him?At the beginning, I really should have carefully inquired about the whole story.

There is no problem with money, Liu Zian is not short of money, and every time he returns with Baohe, he can get a lot of commissions.Liu Zian was not dissatisfied with Baohe's temperament.On the contrary, there is still some admiration.During the journey, wherever he went, no matter what the cultural differences were, or how rude the attitude of the people he met, or how crude the food he ate, he never complained.Liu Zian couldn't pronounce the word "Master", and he never insisted on it. On the contrary, Liu Zian had been taken care of by him for a long time, so he was a little embarrassed, so he took the next best thing to call him Mister.

Even so, Liu Zian felt that walking with Mr. Baohe was not an easy and fun thing.One of the reasons is that you simply don't know whether the destination you are going to really exists.

The purpose of Mr. Baohe's travel is neither to visit places of interest, nor to relax and recuperate, but to collect materials for writing a travel guide.However, most of the famous historical sites and scenic spots have been introduced in the current reading materials, so what he is looking for are those sightseeing spots that he has never heard of or seen.In his opinion, if he can introduce some unknown hot springs with miraculous effects, wells with special functions, or some ancient temples and Buddhist pavilions worth seeing, then the book he writes will definitely sell well.

Therefore, once there are some unknown hot springs from hearsay, it is necessary to actually go to the local area to find out; if you hear that there is a huge temple in the depths of a certain mountain and a certain mountain, you need to go and find out-this is , is the trip of Mr. Baohe.

It's a pity that those places in the legends are actually all non-existent.At least for Liu Zian, in the several trips that he accompanied, he did not find the place that was told before departure.Where we arrived, there were only some desolate and desolate villages, and we couldn't even find a house for the night, so we had to wrap ourselves in straw mats, endure the cold, and sleep in the wild for a night.It's okay to do it once or twice, but it's inevitable that you will feel discouraged if you do it too often.

However, there is another reason why Liu Zian doesn't want to continue to accompany Mr. Baohe, that is, Mr. Baohe has a serious "lost disorder".Mr. Baohe is indeed used to traveling. According to him, he knows how to walk without getting tired. He often walks non-stop for a whole day, and he can be full of energy without showing any signs of fatigue.But the problem is that he is so lost, it can almost be said that he will always be like this.Obviously it is the kind of straight forward road, no stupid child can easily get it wrong, but for some reason, if he walks ahead at the head, he will always return to the place where he started in the morning.Oh no, even if he walked behind Liu Zian, the result would still be the same.Mr. Baohe's labyrinth will bring disaster to his companions.Under his burden, places that could have been reached in half a day sometimes even took three to five days.

Liu Zian felt that it was better for people like Mr. Baohe to stay at home and not travel.However, Mr. Baohe himself did not care about it. Even if he got lost and came to a cliff by accident, he would just smile and say, "It's really interesting." Liu Zian never understood how interesting it was.

Thanks to him, every time Liu Zian would be taken to some strange places.Not only have I been to a village where thinness is considered beautiful in the whole village, and a girl’s waistline is measured first when she gets married, she has also been to a place where the whole village collectively worships a cat.The villagers believed that the cat was born from a god, but in Liu Zian's eyes, it was just an ordinary wild cat.They have also been to the kind of village where the whole village will collectively transform at night and grow fangs.Mr. Baohe wrote down all these locations, and it seems that he intends to write them in the book.But no matter where it is, it is just because of getting lost, and occasionally bumping into it by mistake, and no one can figure out the correct location.Even if I trek along the same road as the previous time for several days, and keep looking forward, I still haven't found it.

After the third trip, Liu Zian finally got tired of it.Because they heard that there was a well in a certain place, the well water had miraculous effects on treating knee pain, so the two of them went to look for it.Mr. Baohe said that about the well, there is no introduction in current books and readings. If it can be recorded in detail about its location and efficacy, the sales volume of "Lvzhongshu" will definitely increase.By the way, that "Book of Lvzhong" is the book that Mr. Baohe is going to write right now.However, after working hard for more than half a month, the two of them never heard any rumors about the well.

"This kind of thing happens occasionally." Mr. Baohe said slowly.

For Liu Zian, it was a waste of time to go all the way and gain nothing.On the way back to the starting point, they were still troubled by their husband and lost their way. In the end, the two of them came to a village that should have no road to reach.

There, Liu Zian got a strange treasure.
