Liao Zhai alchemist

Chapter 123
There is no doubt that it is necessary for merchants to cross the river.Relying on this, the River God finally settled the deal with the merchants by virtue of his penetrating tongue.

What is left to say is to cross the river with money.

The two little ghosts who swam far and dived deep took a wooden box and began to collect river fees.Although the merchants were reluctant, they still left five taels of silver and waited to cross the river.

Soon, the two little ghosts arrived beside Zhang Wei and the others. The little ghost asked, "Can you guys cross the river? If you want to cross, you have to pay."

Zhang Wei said to the people around him, "Why don't you all cross the river together, so that we can take care of you."

The three scholars nodded, and when they were about to pay, Zhang Wei smiled and said, "If you don't mind the river crossing fee, I will pay for it."

When several scholars heard his words, they put down their hands and said in their mouths: "It's so embarrassing, it cost Brother Zhang a lot of money."

That's what they said, but they didn't ask them to pay for it.These few scholars spent all the way, and they didn't actually have a few taels of silver with them. If they were really asked to pay, they would probably say: "The scenery here is very beautiful, so it's okay to stay a few more days."

There are more than 600 people in the Zhang family, and it will cost more than [-] taels of silver to cross the river this time.To be honest, this amount of money is not a small amount.

But Zhang Wei didn't want to stay here and wait for the water to recede, so spend money as you like.

Seeing that the money was almost collected, the river god took out a small flag and a small drum.As soon as he dropped the flag, he began to beat the snare drum rhythmically.

The drums of 'bang bang bang' sounded, and the river surged along with the drums.

Suddenly, the sound of the river god's drum stopped, and the big waves on the river also stopped strangely, and then the river parted, and a small stone bridge emerged from the water.

The God of the river immediately said: "You can cross the river!"

When the merchants saw it, they immediately grabbed their bundles and pushed their carts across the river.

After these merchants passed by, Zhang Wei took the Zhang family to push the cart across the river.

On both sides of the bridge, a foot-high river stagnates, and a small bridge is exposed in the middle of the river. This seems to be "Moses divides the sea", but now it is the river god who divides the river.

When Zhang Wei's [-]-big cart crossed the river, the river god finally breathed a sigh of relief. With a wave of his hand, the flag flew back to his hand, and then the stagnant river water rushed down and submerged the small bridge again.

Zhang Wei, who was sitting on the horse, turned his head and saw that the river god and the two little ghosts had submerged in the water and disappeared above the river.After crossing the river, the sky also dimmed.The merchants walking ahead began to set up camp, but they soon quarreled again.

"This River God is blackmailing people. We can't just let this matter go. Let's sue him at the City God of Fu." Some people feel sorry for the five taels of silver, and now they say indignantly.

A peddler said: "You have the ability to sue? What do you use to sue? You want the City God to take care of you after burning two sticks of incense?"

The merchant was ridiculed, his face turned red immediately, and he immediately reacted and said: "I can't sue, there are still a few talented men."

The merchants sighed and shook their heads, "Scholars don't care about such things."

The man wanted to defend himself a few more words, but in the end he still lowered his head to pack his bags and didn't speak any more.

Zhang Wei could hear their words clearly. Now his eyes and ears are sharp and he can hear voices from a mile away.It's just that he heard it so what, he really wouldn't sue for these.

Although the God of the River wanted to take advantage of the fire and rob, but he came here clearly, with a clearly marked price, and he did not buy or sell by force.Reporting it to the City God is just asking for trouble.

Rest for one night and set off at dawn the next day.The next road is gradually prosperous.

Farmland and villages can be seen everywhere. After the Waking of Insects, the farmers began to plow the fields and sow seeds. This is the beginning of a year's farm work, but it can't be sloppy.

After walking for a long time, in the afternoon, Zhang Wei and others finally saw the city wall of Jinhua Mansion.

The majestic city gate tower is so tall that it can be seen from three miles away.Jinhua Mansion is a bustling city with walls as high as ten feet.

Everyone entered from the west gate. At the gate of the city, Zhang Wei bid farewell to the three scholars. Zhang Wei and the others wanted to find an inn to stay temporarily.

Jinhua City is divided into Guocheng, Outer City and Inner City.Each floor is surrounded by a city wall, and each floor is surrounded by a moat.

I found an inn in Guocheng and rented a yard, and parked forty mule carts there.Zhang's father said to Zhang Wei: "To set up a family, the first thing is to settle down. We first need to buy a yard to settle down."

Zhang Wei said to the old father: "There is no rush for this matter. I will visit the parents of the Chen family first, and then the master. This matter will probably be resolved."

The Zhang family is not short of money, but if they want to buy land in Fucheng, it would be great if they have the help of local snakes.

After hearing this, Zhang's father nodded in relief. His son is capable, and he is better than his father.Along the way, he entrusted Zhang Wei to do all the work, and Zhang Wei did a good job.

Everyone had a good night's rest that night. The next day, Father Zhang was going to sell the forty mules.The forty mules were bought in Eshan to pull the carts. Now that they have reached their destination, the Zhang family does not need so many mules, so they will sell them together.

The value of large livestock is very high, and Zhang's father can even make a small profit by selling it back and forth.

On the other hand, Zhang Wei rode a horse and first went to visit the patriarch of the Chen family.

The Chen family has a big house in the inner city, but according to what Chen Song said, his uncle may not necessarily live in the big house in the city, his uncle prefers to stay in the old house in the countryside.

Sure enough, when Zhang Wei went to the Chen family's mansion, he was in vain, and the head of the Chen family was indeed in the old house in the country.It was the busy season of farming, and it was understandable for the old patriarch to stare at the farming in the countryside.

After asking the porter the way, Zhang Wei rode his horse to the Chen family's old house again.

Just as Zhang Wei was going to the Chen family's old house, outside Jinhua city, three thieves and thieves emerged from the dark ditch.

The three great fairies are naturally the weasel, the gray mouse and the white hedgehog.

At this time, they were in a mess and looked like they were in the dust.The three looked at the majestic city wall, and a voice sounded from beside them.

"No, this is Jinhua City, I will send you here, and you can go the rest of the way."

A mouse the size of a kitten said to the three of them.

Gray Mouse hurriedly cupped his hands to him and said, "Thank you brother Jianghu for your rescue! From then on, the mountains and rivers will meet again, and there will be a period later!"

The rat bowed to them and disappeared into the dark ditch.

The remaining three immortals sighed, and then the white hedgehog asked a key question.

"We have arrived at Jinhua City, but how can we find my uncle? Jinhua City is so big, and the city wall is several times that of Eshan County."

When he said this, the three immortals fell silent.The three of them have never been out of Eshan County, and they are pure wild monsters born in the countryside. They are also frightened in the face of such a 'big city'.

In the end, the weasel said: "The road is under your feet, and the road is on your mouth. If you don't understand, just ask. There are still good people in this world! If I don't believe it, I won't find my uncle!"
