Strongest Abandoned Immortal

Chapter 69 The Epee Man
Wake up early in the morning, go out at night, and stay in several small towns passing by.

Several small towns near Huizhen have similar customs and customs to Huizhen.Ye Shu followed Wang Baoshi all the way, heard a lot of things, and also learned some business methods of businessmen, gaining insight.

The haste of the itinerary made Ye Shu's sense of leaving home much less, and his mood calmed down a lot.Until Jinwei Town in front of Jinweidang, Jinwei Town is the nearest town to Dangkou, and there is a Jinwei River running eastward in front of the town. In the early years, the ferry was still a small ferry.

Since Emperor Haokang of Ruiguo came to the throne, with the aim of enriching the country and strengthening the people, he promulgated many decrees to dredge the rivers and ditches in the country, and the towns of Jinweijiang and Yanjiang prospered.

The small ferry has also changed from a remote ferry with only a piece of golden reed to a large ferry that once accommodated many ferry boats and fishing boats.

There is a distance of ten miles from the small town to the Dadukou, and there are two miles of golden reeds growing in the middle of the road.In autumn, reeds bloom and fringe, white reed flowers spread all over the ground, and there are countless birds migrating to the south. The scenery by the river is very beautiful.

There is another theory about the strange catfish attack in Jinweidang. It is said that a fairy master passed by here a few days ago and subdued the strange catfish.

But no one has really seen a fairy master appearing, the golden reed is uneasy, and most of the ferries dare not take jobs. Only an old boatman, relying on his many years of ferry skills, dares to take the risk to open the ferry before and after sunset and sunrise. Take a boat trip.

There are many merchants staying in the three townships and five towns, and the old ferryman's ferry can only carry more than ten people. If he misses the two daily boats, it will be difficult to cross the river.

"There is no other way but to stay at Jinweidang tonight. It's already this hour, and I'm afraid I won't be able to catch the boat in the evening. I'd better go to Jinweidang early to grab a good seat and cross the river tomorrow morning," After Wang Baoshi inquired, he told Yeshu a bad news.

Sleeping in the open by the river meant that Yeshu would not be able to enter the Bodhi Immortal Mansion tonight, and the monster monkey seemed to have expected this.

After the two discussed it properly, Wang Baoshi ordered Yeshu to buy some dry food and fresh water, and he went separately to buy a few contracted warm blankets. He made an appointment to meet at the town's entrance before dark, and then set off for Jinweidang together.

Yeshu bought five catties of steamed buns, two sachets of fresh water and two catties of cooked beef in the town, and walked towards the entrance of the town with a few kraft paper bags.

Before arriving at the entrance of the town, a small sedan chair carried by two people with a silver top and a red roof came towards me. It had gold silk tassels and mahogany beams. The sedan chair was not big but very elegant.

While the car body was moving, the car curtain did not move at all, as if it was made of silk or metal.

Followed by two warriors, both of them with their eyes wide open, their chests folded and their heads held high, walked past Ye Shu like a gust of wind.

Behind the sedan chair, staggered a few handsome boys and girls, all about six or seven years old, crying and crying, the two warriors were annoyed and reprimanded a few times, the children were silent and did not dare to shout, and followed together tremblingly .

A discerning person can see such a situation and know that the person sitting in the sedan chair is not a kind person.

Ye Shu also heard in Huizhen that many poor families could not afford to raise children, and they would buy and sell children to rich families as slaves.Those children had good looks, but they couldn't escape the fate of being bought and sold.

Although Ye Shu was a little bit embarrassed, he was not kind enough to save him.

When the sedan chair approached, she retreated to the side, turned her consciousness, and leaned into the sedan chair to see who was sitting inside.

Unexpectedly, just as her spiritual sense touched the sedan chair, it was bounced back. It was obvious that someone had placed a restraint on the sedan chair for the temptation of spiritual sense.

"Stop the sedan chair." The person in the sedan chair closed his eyes and rested his mind. After noticing the slight tremor of the sedan chair, his face was surprised.The workmanship of his sedan chair was top-notch, and it was carried by an experienced bearer. During the trip, he had never encountered tremors, let alone tremors.

The sedan chair fell to the ground in response, and the curtain of the sedan chair was raised, revealing a thin man in his forties.The man had mouse eyes and a short beard, and was wearing a good fox skin melon hat. He looked around suspiciously, and saw passers-by in twos and threes.

Not far from him, stood a very inconspicuous young man carrying an oiled paper bag. The man glanced at Ye Shu and then looked away.

"Master, are you staying in the town tonight?" The martial artist who followed came to the door of the sedan chair and asked with a bow.

Ye Shu took a closer look, and found that the person who asked the question had a very familiar demeanor, and he was somewhat similar to Cook Liu before the breakthrough. He should be a master at the peak of the day after tomorrow.

The person sitting in the sedan chair had a lot of ostentation, and one person brought two acquired masters.

"Wow", the sedan chair was moving very fast, and a girl couldn't stand the long journey, so she sat on the ground and started crying, yelling, "Mother, Xiaoyao misses her."

One of the two warriors raised his eyebrows and was about to slap several times.

"Wait," the man in the sedan snorted, "don't hurt that face, you have to rely on it to sell it for a good price."

Wufu laughed grimly, and twisted the girl's body a few times, and the girl suddenly became hoarse.

Yeshu didn't look any further. With her little tricks, she could still rely on the terrain and environment when she was in Huizhen, but now that she left Huizhen, it's better to keep her own place. She buried her head in her paper bag and held it tightly.

A group of people followed a sedan chair, and after a while, it bent and disappeared into the sunset.

When Yeshu arrived at the entrance of the town, Wang Baoshi had already bought two worn-out horse-hair blankets and waited there.Wang Baoshi didn't change the businessman's picky nature, he only said that he could sleep for a night, and the old blankets could be discarded when they were used up. Yeshu put the blankets on his back, and smelled the stench of horse urine, so he didn't ask any questions. , and rushed to Jinweidang.

It was getting colder in late autumn, and several pedestrians passed one after another on the winding riverside path.

The Jinwei River is several kilometers wide. There was a torrential rain a few days ago, and the water on the surface of the river was bullish. It was as mighty as a raging sea.

There are layers of white foam reed flowers on the river surface, and sometimes small fish come out of the water and play with the reed flowers.

After passing through the tall reeds, an open crescent-shaped river crossing appeared in front of the two of them.

When I arrived at Dangkou, I saw groups of businessmen and passers-by in groups of three or five, obviously they missed the evening boat, Wang Baoshi was not the only one who planned to cross the river early in the morning.

The setting sun had already set on the river, and the river was half dark and half bright, and someone lit a bonfire.

"There used to be a tea booth at the ferry, let's go and have a look first." In order to hurry, both of them came all the way without having dinner. Wang Baoshi climbed for a few days. After all, he was an ordinary person, and he was a little tired Come, I just want to drink a few sips of hot water, eat some dry food, find a dry place, and rest early.

The tea kiosk is very dilapidated, without even a roof to shelter from the wind, and there is no good supply of tea.

However, there is no shortage of hay for life in this area. In the past, they were all business travelers who were away all year round. Most of them did not bring cooking utensils with them, and they were close to water and ventilated, so they did not have to worry about food.

Ye Shu and Wang Baoshi cut a few reeds and looked around for a sheltered and dry place.

After searching around, I found that all the good positions had been snatched away.

"In such a situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave tomorrow morning," Wang Baoshi said, pointing out the 80 to [-] people who had spent the night by the golden reeds.With these people alone, it will take several trips.You can't spend a few nights in this kind of place.

It's not practical to go back to Jinwei Town again. If there are more people passing by, the chance of taking a boat will be even smaller.

"If you come, you will be safe. Uncle, there is no need to worry. There are many people who can't cross the river, and they can always find a way," Ye Shu said calmly.In her Python Kun bag, there were already several bottles of freshly practiced corn puree, and it would not be a problem if she stayed for a few more days.

Seeing such a group of people, Ye Shu felt happy instead of worried. The Ruyi ring on her hand was restricted by some kind of restriction, and she couldn't take it off for a while.

Jin Weidang seemed safe right now, and with so many people stationed there, she didn't have to worry about encountering any monsters. She could sleep soundly tonight.

"Uncle Wang, the field in front is still open, so we'll dig there," Yeshu pointed to the ferry, where only a man was sitting.

Most of the merchants at the ferry are traveling in caravans, there are very few traveling merchants like Wang Baoshi, and the teams are mostly five or six people.

Wang Baoshi also caught a glimpse of the man who didn't fit in with the crowd.

In the past few days, the ferry has turned into a small campsite, bustling with people, some passing merchants complained about the cold weather, and some complained about the strange catfish in the ferry.

The noisy voices formed a strong contrast with the man. Like a clay sculpture, he hung his head and hugged a specially shaped epee in his hand.

The man couldn't tell his age and appearance, his eyes were covered by his messy hair that looked like a bird's nest, and only his stone-carved nose was exposed.Under the short jacket that barely covered her body, the raised muscles were like small hills, and her dark red skin.

He held a bronze epee with folded arms in his hands. The blade was thick and wide without an edge, densely covered with various reliefs, without a sheath and without a case, leaning vertically on the ground, as tall as half a person.

The place where the man was sitting was next to the docking place of the ferry, which was the most advantageous seat on board, and for some reason no one dared to sit next to him.

"That man is not easy to get along with, we'd better sit farther away," Wang Baoshi had sharp eyesight, and saw that the man had a faint hostility all over him. This man must be a person who lives by licking blood on the tip of a knife.

Ye Shu looked at the man a few more times curiously.

Although Wang Baoshi didn't dare to get close to the man, he didn't waste the strange man's anger in vain. He thought for a while, and spread a blanket ten meters away from the man.

The horse hair mat was not to mention dirty and damp, but Wang Baoshi was not picky, so he put a layer of hay under it, let Yeshu light the fire, and fell asleep soundly.

Yeshu sat by the campfire, took a few mouthfuls of dry food, and lay down with his clothes on.

The man sitting opposite remained motionless, and the leaves of the golden reed rustled in the night wind.

In the camp near the ferry, the bonfire changed from bright to dark. In the dream, it was vaguely visible. In Yeshu's spiritual consciousness, the enlarged Yin-Yang cauldron gave off a faint black light, like a monster with its mouth wide open, waiting to be fed.

There was a sound of splashing water in my ears, and then several cries broke the silence of the night, both Ye Shu and Wang Baoshi were awakened.
