A month later, Zhou Chen returned to Chenjiacun.
As soon as he came back, he was verbally criticized by Li Lianhua.
"Where have you been? You've been gone for two months and you don't know how to send a message back? Do you know that I've been waiting for you so impatiently?"
"You still smile, you still have the nerve to smile. Now let's talk about your problem. I bought a horse and prepared to train with you. But you are lucky. There has been no news for two months. I have almost finished training. You are back.
, is it intentional, are you teasing me on purpose?"
Li Lianhua put her hands on her hips and looked fierce, shouting at Zhou Chen in an imageless manner, almost spitting on Zhou Chen's face.
Zhou Chen unconsciously took a step back and explained: "I went to do something and wasted time. It was not intentional. Why are you so angry?"
Li Lianhua asked: "You have the nerve to ask, don't you know why I lost my temper?"
Zhou Chen smiled, walked over and put his arms around his neck, and said: "You also said that my martial arts are already very good now. As long as I don't show off too much, saving my life is not a problem."
"hehe."
Li Lianhua sneered and tried to break free, but failed.
"I was just complimenting you. What do you think Jianghu is like? Do you think others will really treat you one-on-one fairly? Jianghu is dangerous. Many people have no morals to speak of. They sneak attacks and poisons, deceive and abduct, and it is impossible to guard against them.
No matter how high your martial arts skills are, so what? If you get hit by a move, you will still die."
In the past, he had always thought that as long as his martial arts skills were high enough, he would be able to convince the public and help bring justice to the world.
But his experience after the battle in the East China Sea made him understand that he was too naive and too conceited. The world was far from being as simple as he had seen, and people's hearts were not something he could fathom.
He was very worried when there was no news from Zhou Chen for two months. He had been very familiar with Zhou Chen for nearly two years since he came to Chenjiacun. Compared with his former colleagues from the Sigu sect, his friendship with Zhou Chen was purer and deeper.
Heart to heart.
Originally he thought he said goodbye to the past and would wander the world alone, but now, he has regarded Zhou Chen as his best friend.
They also agreed to travel around the world together, but now there is no news about Zhou Chen. How could he not be worried?
Zhou Chen knew that Li Lianhua was angry because she was worried about him.
"I know, I understand, it's my fault this time. If anything happens in the future, I will say hello to you in advance, okay?"
Li Lianhua snorted lightly, with a look of arrogance on her face: "No need, it has nothing to do with me whether you are dead or alive. I'm just worried that I won't be able to collect your body if you die."
"You still want to collect my body? You're overthinking it. I'm a very tough person. I can easily live to be over a hundred years old."
This is not Zhou Chen's bragging show. His skills are there. As long as he doesn't commit suicide, he can easily live to be over a hundred years old.
Li Lianhua was very disdainful: "As for you, if you really want to enter the world, you will still be a hundred years old. It would be good to live to thirty years old."
"I said, Xiaohua, are you cursing me? Do you think you won't live to be thirty, so you want to drag me with you, and keep you company when you get down there?"
"If you say that, it's not bad."
"What you think is quite beautiful. I have to live in this world for at least thirty years, so before that, you have to live a good life, otherwise it will be too boring if you don't even have anyone to quarrel with."
"Okay, I'll fight for it."
During Zhou Chen's absence, Li Lianhua spent more than half a month selecting six good horses, spending all their money, and even riding on his own Sigu Sect Master's Token.
Over the next month or so, he used the skills he learned from the horse seller to start training the horses. Now the six horses can barely pull their RV, but they can only travel a short distance, and then the horses need to rest.
.
"This won't work. Running a few miles won't work. It would waste too much time."
Zhou Chen frowned after hearing this. This speed was not as fast as his own walking. He didn't need to run very fast, but it was too slow and inefficient.
Li Lianhua shrugged and said: "Then I can't help it. With this efficiency, if it doesn't work, just buy two more horses. But in this case, eight horses will be pulled together, which will be more troublesome to drive, and it will be more troublesome to feed eight horses."
The price of the horse is not small, we can go without food or drink, but the horse cannot."
Zhou Chen muttered: "If it's silver, I have a solution. If it's driving, don't worry, I can give it a try."
Thinking that I am also an experienced driver after all, and I have professional train driving skills. Although horses are not cars, they are all means of transportation. They are not bad at all, so it should be feasible.
Li Lianhua looked doubtful: "Do you have a way to make money? It can't be fishing, that won't work. We have decided to go out for a trip. It is impossible to find waters to fish every time."
"I'm going to catch you and eat fish every day. You haven't eaten enough yet. Don't talk nonsense. If I say there is a way, there will be a way."
"Okay, you have the final say. Then you can first earn me the money to buy two horses."
"No problem. I'll take a day off today. I'll take you to make money tomorrow and let you experience it."
In the evening of the next day, Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua escaped from an underground gambling den. They ran wildly, followed by a group of thugs armed with sticks and swords.
"Don't run away, catch them. If they dare to cheat in our casino, catch them and chop them to death."
Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua ran wildly, but there was no trace of panic on their expressions. They seemed to be running with ease and even talked.
"Is this how you say you can make money? I'm so out of my mind that I believe what you say."
"Just tell me whether you made any money."
Li Lianhua covered the gold and silver in her arms and stopped talking. Not only did she make money, she also made a lot.
"I have nothing to say. To tell you the truth, my brother's nickname back then was known as the 'Shilipo God of Gamblers'."
"I'm still the Shilipo Sword God."
"I know you are the sword god, so can you run faster and catch up with me?"
"No problem, look at me, Whirling Steps."
Li Lianhua suddenly accelerated and stepped on the surrounding buildings. His body was as light as a butterfly and he flew out quickly.
"Fuck, Xiaohua, you don't have martial ethics."
Naturally, the thugs could not catch up with Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua. They quickly fled outside the city, then got together, took out all the gold and silver, and began to divide the loot.
Looking at the pile of gold and silver, Li Lianhua was a little stunned.
"I'm really stupid. If I had known you were capable of this, why would you have pawned my token? It's a huge loss."
Zhou Chen retorted angrily: "Don't worry about your broken token. You can't even look around the door. Your gate master token is useless."
Li Lianhua rolled her eyes, and then her expression became serious.
"Although it is very profitable to go to underground gambling houses, it is better not to do this kind of thing. After all, it is ill-gotten gains."
"I think you're used to being a hero. It's true that you got ill-gotten gains, but it's also the casino that cheats others. We cheated the casino."
"That's true, but I think it's better to go less often."
"I got it, it's all about heaven and earth. You still think you are the leader of the martial arts alliance? I'm not here for our Lotus Tower. Have you ever seen me go to an underground gambling house before?"
Zhou Chen really has no addiction to gambling. These two times, he went to underground gambling houses to gamble because he was in urgent need of money and had the skills to lose nine times out of ten.
If he is not short of money, there is no need for him to gamble and win money.
With enough money, Li Lianhua bought two more horses, and then the two began to train horse-drawn horses.
Zhou Chen discovered that he, an old driver, was really not good at driving a carriage. Two or three horses were no problem, but with eight horses pulling together, it was very difficult for him to drive.
Together with Li Lianhua, they trained for another two months to make sure there were no problems before they finally hit the road.
On the day of departure, all the villagers in Chenjia Village came to say goodbye. Zhou Chen left a sum of money to the village chief Chen Liushu and asked him to take care of their house in the village. After saying goodbye to the villagers, the two of them drove the Lotus Tower
Left Chenjiacun.
Although he has lived in Chenjiacun for more than three years, Zhou Chen has not brought much change to the village. It's not that he doesn't want to, but that he can't.
Change is sometimes not necessarily a good thing.
…………
Driving a building is indeed very eye-catching. A few months passed in the blink of an eye. Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua set out from the East China Sea and passed through two counties and cities.
However, they rarely enter the city. Unless they need supplies, they spend most of their time in the Lotus Building. Occasionally they will go to villages and towns to stay for a few days to recuperate.
They are nothing. The main thing is that the horses need enough rest and feed supplies. After all, the eight horses are now the main force of their operations.
During this process, some people also had the idea of ​​​​Lotus Tower, but obviously they were not qualified, and they were all repelled by Zhou Chen. Although they did not kill anyone, they were punished.
Late at night, on the roof of Lianhua Building, Zhou Chen and Li Lianhua were lying casually.
"Achen, last time you disappeared for two months, saying you were going to repay a favor. What kind of favor did you pay back for two months?"
Zhou Chen put his hands behind his head, looked at the bright moon, and told what happened between him and Gu Qingqing.
