strayed into fairy mountain

Chapter 105 [Guarding mortals, thick fog hits]

"Brother Zhang, don't be stupid!"

The driver is obviously a loyal person, and he hastily persuaded him: "Brother, I see your situation, you are definitely not a person who is short of money. Since you are not short of money, you will definitely not feel sorry for the fare. Since you don't care about the fare, why leave the team... ..."

With a sincere face and a sincere tone, he said again: "Although brother, my carriage is a little smaller, and there are a little more guests this time. If you are crowded in the carriage, you will definitely suffer a lot. Sin, but Brother Zhang, you have to think about it, it’s safe to follow the convoy after all.”

Zhang Jingxu smiled, nodded and said, "Yes, it's safe to follow the convoy."

The coachman thought he had persuaded Zhang Jingxu, and he let out a sigh of relief. This time, he didn't push back, but solemnly put away the money.

It's just that when the money was collected in his arms, his face was obviously stunned, as if he suddenly realized a certain problem, and couldn't help asking Zhang Jingxu: "Brother, you gave too much money..."

How Zhang Jingxu didn't know what he meant, smiled again and said: "You guessed right, you have a part in it. Even if their mother and daughter are going to the northernmost part of Beihe County, they won't need two taels of silver to spend .The reason why I gave two taels of silver, half of it is for you."

"Reward me?"

The coachman looked puzzled and wondered, "Why?"

Zhang Jingxu glanced at him and said meaningfully: "First of all, the first point is to reward your kindness of mind. Second, the second point is to encourage you to continue to maintain this kindness. Finally, the third point is to prevent you from being greedy."

The coachman smashed his mouth, seemed to be pondering what he said, after a while, he laughed and said solemnly: "Understood, Brother Zhang is really a powerful person. Giving me this reward will really prevent me from being greedy."

On the contrary, the woman still had a dazed look on her face and asked in great confusion, "Why can I prevent you from being greedy?"

The driver hecked twice, but didn't answer.

Instead, Zhang Jingxu opened his mouth slowly and explained: "Meeting by chance, no relatives and no reason, whether I and you, or you and him, the reason the three of us know each other is nothing more than the relationship between the driver and the passenger..."

"Because I sympathize with you two, I bear the expenses of the journey ahead. And I asked him to help me with this matter."

"I gave him the money and asked him to help pay the people in the next team. But this will only benefit you two, and he is a helpless helper who has nothing to gain."

"Since ancient times, the human heart has been difficult to figure out. Even a person who is naturally good may breed evil thoughts..."

"For example, he may think, why can you two meet a kind-hearted person, not only entrusting him to help, but also paying a piece of silver."

"That piece of silver will become a thorn in his heart."

"Every time he touches the silver, he feels more uncomfortable. Maybe at some point, this discomfort will turn into anger."

"At that time, when he was angry, he would have evil thoughts... For example, he might think, why should I help for nothing? I should take this money for myself. Anyway, Brother Zhang who gave the money has already left."

"After he has this idea, he will go on an evil path. In order to embezzle money for himself, he will even harm you and your wife."

When Zhang Jingxu said this, he glanced at the coachman meaningfully, and said slowly: "And I predicted everything in advance, so I took precautions in advance. I told him directly that he has a share of the money. Then he will He will not lose his balance, but he will help me with this matter carefully... The reason is very simple, he has gained something from doing this matter, so he will not breed evil thoughts because of no gain."

"The most important thing is that he is a kind person. The harvest of silver is just a refill, which can make his kind thoughts suppress evil thoughts even more."

The woman's face was incredulous when she heard it, obviously she couldn't imagine that there was such a deep truth in it.

Zhang Jingxu exhaled lightly, as if expressing feelings: "All creatures in the world have both good and evil thoughts. I can't eliminate his latent evil thoughts, so I use the method of giving money to promote his good thoughts." .”

"In this way, things are safe. You two can return to your mother's house safely, and he has fulfilled the entrustment of a big brother..."

"As for me, doing good deeds and accumulating virtues! And while doing good deeds and accumulating virtues, I have experienced all kinds of situations in the world, so I have gained more. I should thank you all."

Zhang Jingxu slowly raised her head, as if she had a new understanding in her heart, she muttered to herself: "Immortal, human, immortal, immortal..."

His last voice was so low that neither the coachman nor the woman could hear him clearly, but the two of them dared not make any movement, as if they were guessing who Zhang Jingxu was.

After a long time...

Only then did the woman speak in a low voice, rather shyly said: "Zhang... Brother Zhang, it's getting late."

But this time, the coachman suddenly opened his mouth and said in a solemn tone: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to do that. Haven't you noticed that this person in front of us is not an ordinary person. There is a distance between him and us. It’s the gap between heaven and earth.”

He smiled as he spoke, regained his cheerful and carefree look, blinked at the woman, and said in a slippery tone on purpose: "Even if you want a man, sister-in-law, I'm afraid you have no chance. Our old brother Zhang With your identity, you are not qualified to serve him..."

The woman lowered her head and said in a timid voice, "Actually, I also understand it in my heart."

Zhang Jingxu raised his foot again, kicked the coachman lightly, and scolded with a smile: "Hurry up, get out, don't talk nonsense in front of me."

"okay!"

The coachman agreed straightforwardly, bowed and sang a big promise, but looked at the woman, asked Zhang Jingxu's opinion in a low voice, and said, "You don't want her to serve you?"

Zhang Jingxu didn't answer, but looked up at the center of the camp, and said in an easy-going tone: "I see the smoke has risen, it seems that your convoy is cooking porridge."

Although the coachman is an ordinary person, but his mind is very flexible, he understood Zhang Jingxu's meaning instantly, and said with a smile: "Understood, brother, I will take the two of them to dinner, we mortals, don't disturb my brother's cleanliness... "

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and tugged at the corner of the woman's clothes, and walked away without any explanation, leading the woman away quickly.

Indistinctly, it seemed that the woman was asking, in a low voice, with curiosity, she said: "Brother coachman, why do you say that he is not a mortal?"

Then the coachman was jovial, but he was talking nonsense, and said: "I didn't say that he is not a mortal, I only said that we are mortals."

It's just that during the Lele hehe, it seemed that he specially lowered his voice, deliberately resisting the woman and said: "He dared to drive alone, and said that the car was just to eliminate loneliness, sister-in-law, think about it, does this sound like the tone of ordinary people? He is a big shot, maybe he is a hero..."

"The hero of the rivers and lakes?" the woman whispered.

The coachman said 'hmm' twice, and dragged the woman towards the campfire.

In a short while, the team was ready for dinner.

……

Food, clothing, housing, and transportation are the most common things in the world.

For ordinary people, eating and drinking is happiness, and if they can sleep peacefully, it will be even happier.

When the night was dark, there was sound of sound sleep in the camp, both the driver and the passengers were sleeping soundly next to the carriage.

There were only six bodyguards holding weapons at this time, three of them were sitting on the ground and dozing while holding the weapons, and the other three were constantly patrolling the edge of the camp.

Car and boat shops are the lowest level of business in the world. Although they are only the lowest level of business, they have their own industry conscience. Since they have collected money from customers, they must keep them safe all the way.

When encountering bandits and road bandits during the day, they will fight with their lives.

The boundless fog is dangerous at night, and they are also guarding with their lives...

Zhang Jingxu seemed to be sleeping soundly leaning on the carriage, but in fact he had been paying attention to the situation in the camp, especially the behavior of the guards at night, which made him feel a kind of kindness involuntarily.

He collected the money from the passengers and guarded at night with his life.

This is clearly also a kind of night watchman.

……

The thick fog rolled and rolled, and there were faint ghost lights in the distance.

Zhang Jingxu's originally closed eyes opened quietly.
