The words left by the old Dragon King really made him think about it for a long time.
What solution will be found along the way? Which path should we take?
After Chen Changsheng thought about it carefully, he felt that this matter was a bit strange.
"It's really mysterious."
Chen Changsheng shook his head and sighed, and didn't think about it any more.
Maybe the road is at his feet, and now that he has taken the step, maybe he will also meet the so-called 'solution'.
On the way, a group of caravans came from behind, leading three large carts of goods.
Chen Changsheng thought that he was alone all the way, so he might as well go forward with the caravan and take him along for a while to avoid any trouble. After all, in this world, when a person is on the road, there will always be unscrupulous people looking for him.
He was too lazy to cook.
So Chen Changsheng went to the leader of the caravan and asked, "I wonder where the caravan is going? Can Chen go with it for a while?"
Seeing that this man was cleanly dressed and well behaved, the commander returned the favor and said, "We are returning to Yan County on this trip. Where are you going, sir? Can you drop by?"
"Go to Beijing."
"That's just the way to go."
The leader said: "After arriving in Yan County, we will find a boatman to take us to the ferry, and then board a big ship until we get to Beijing. Sir, just follow the caravan."
"Thank you for your help." Chen Changsheng said.
"You can also take a companion with you," said the headmaster, "but sir, it's better not to travel alone in the future. Although there are no bandits on this road, there will always be a few fools who are greedy for money."
"Chen remembers it."
Chen Changsheng joined the caravan and followed behind it.
These three carts of goods were not light, and the horses could not move them very fast. If they walked a little faster, Chen Changsheng could keep up, and sometimes he could even chat with the leader.
"Where are you from, sir?" the boss asked.
Chen Changsheng thought for a moment and said, "Qiuyue Fang."
After listening, he said: "There is a wine shop at the west bridge of Qiuyue Square. The Qiuyue wine there is very delicious. Sir, have you ever tasted it?"
Chen Changsheng raised the wine gourd on his waist, shook it and said, "This gourd is filled with Qiuyue Brewing. Why don't you try it?"
After hearing this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Is it such a coincidence?"
"It's such a coincidence." Chen Changsheng nodded and smiled.
The head was a little greedy for a moment, but he didn't shirk it and simply asked the gentleman to pour the wine directly into his hand.
Chen Changsheng uncorked the wine and poured some.
This is the most honest person. He holds a cup in his hand and never cares about anything.
He held the wine in his head and drank it. After finishing the drink, he exclaimed: "Good wine! No wonder this Qiuyue Brewing is famous for hundreds of miles. Now I have seen it!"
"How about some more?" Chen Changsheng said.
But the head shook his head and said with a smile: "Just one taste is enough. Sir is a good drinker at first glance. If I drink it, wouldn't it mean that he has no chance to drink anymore?"
"There's plenty of wine in my gourd."
Chen Changsheng asked his head to find an empty water bag, and then took the gourd and poured wine into the water bag.
He kept shouting with his head, "Enough! Enough! Sir, no more!"
Chen Changsheng stopped and said, "Maybe this wine is enough."
He took the wine bag with his head and said: "Sir, you are really generous, but I don't think there is much wine left in this gourd. How can I let you suffer a loss?"
As he spoke, he reached for the money bag at his waist.
Chen Changsheng stopped him and said: "What are you doing here? Meeting is fate. You have to take Chen with you all the way. It's just a pot of wine, let's have a taste."
"You should give me some silver," said the headmaster.
Unexpectedly, Chen Changsheng tried to evade him in every possible way and refused to do anything.
I felt a little embarrassed but had no choice but to give up in the end.
"Then thank you sir."
He put his head down and put down the wine, thinking about taking more care of this gentleman on the way.
After subsequent chats, Chen Changsheng also gradually learned that the leader was the shopkeeper of a certain trading firm in Yan County. His surname was Zeng. Everyone in the caravan called him Boss Zeng. He was on this trip to Anning County to work on cloth.
From Yan County.
Several other people are also from business firms, and most of them are from Yan County.
The journey to Yan County is not too far.
It takes about a day and a half to arrive.
After nightfall, the caravan rested in a ruined temple on the way. Someone picked up some firewood and lit a fire in the temple.
The light illuminates the temple.
Seven or eight people gathered around the fire, and Chen Changsheng was also sitting among them.
"Taste it."
Only then did the head take out the wine bag in the daytime.
Everyone gathered in front of the fire, and the wine bags were passed back and forth among the people. They took a sip and smacked their lips after tasting it.
"How about it, it tastes good, right?" Chief Zeng said with a smile.
After Erniu tasted it, his eyes lit up and he asked: "Good wine! Boss, what kind of wine is this?"
“Qiuyue Brewing from Qiuyuefang.”
Chief Zeng looked at Chen Changsheng who was standing aside and said, "Mr. Chen gave this to you. You guys are in luck today."
"Thank you, Mr. Chen!" Erniu said with a silly smile.
Chen Changsheng echoed, "Just a little drink."
Then several people sat in front of the fire and talked.
"I heard that Qiuyuefang was flooded and the West Bridge collapsed. Is it true?"
"true."
"Some people said they heard strange screams."
"I heard it too, I think I heard it too."
"You're just bragging. How could you hear it from such a distance? I'm afraid it's not the girl next door who is listening."
"Hahaha……"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh, and they were arming arms during the commotion, which was quite interesting.
Mr. Zeng was baking pancakes. After baking, he divided half of the pancakes and handed them to Mr. Chen beside him.
Chen Changsheng took over and said, "Thank you, sir."
Mr. Zeng said: "We are all stupid people, and we don't know a lot of Chinese characters. As long as you don't mind losing your identity in a group with us, sir."
"How could that happen?" Chen Changsheng said, "Chen is also very confused sometimes."
After hearing this, Mr. Zeng couldn't help but smile and said, "It's okay, sir, if you don't dislike it."
While several people were talking.
Chen Changsheng suddenly looked at the temple door.
He took a bite of the cooking pancake and narrowed his eyes.
‘There are really some people who don’t have eyesight...’
Chen Changsheng muttered something in his heart, then withdrew his gaze and calmly chatted with the boss next to him.
"What were you looking at just now, sir?" Boss Zeng asked.
"I'm not looking at anything, just looking at the night."
Chen Changsheng said calmly: "How many years have you been doing this?"
Boss Zeng thought for a while and said, "It's been more than ten years. Fortunately, it's not far away. Some people in the industry are doing business in Beijing and can't come back more than a few times a year."
He sighed and said: "In the end, it's all about the money. If it wasn't for the money, who would be able to bear it?"
Chen Changsheng said: "People in the world are in a hurry, and they are just looking for a few taels of broken silver."
"What you said is absolutely true."
Leader Zeng nodded in agreement and said, "Providing for the whole family is the right thing to do."
Unexpectedly, the words fell.
A sudden change occurred!
Suddenly a dark wind blew in.
"call……"
The fire went out, and the light in the temple also dispersed at this moment.
Leader Zeng suddenly shuddered, his eyes became serious, and he realized something was wrong.
The people who were traveling with him were all shocked.
Under that gloomy wind, everyone's backs suddenly felt cold.
I always feel like something has entered the temple!
