The sound of the carriage rolling on the bluestone slabs came, and there seemed to be a somewhat hollow feeling in the silent street.
When we came out of Wanbaoxuan, it was getting late, so when Zheng Haotian and others returned to the hotel, it was already time to turn on the lanterns.
Although Qi Jiaming also invited them to share dinner and stay overnight, Yu Jiansheng, who was already in a panic, did not dare to agree to it anyway.
On the carriage, Yu Jiansheng asked softly while controlling the reins: "Haotian, what's going on with the white jade ring in your hand?"
Zheng Haotian touched his head and said, "Uncle Yu, do you still remember the last time I carried you back from the maze?"
Yu Jiansheng's heart trembled. Of course he would never forget this strange and weird thing.
Even with his hunter-level martial arts skills and decades of experience, once he entered that magical place, he still lost his way and fainted due to the invasion of some mysterious force in the maze.
If it weren't for Zheng Haotian's rescue, he would definitely have died in the maze.
"Haotian, did you get your white jade ring from the maze?"
"Yes, I met an outsider in the maze, and she thought highly of her, so she gave me this ring and told me that if I have any problems that cannot be solved, I can go to the city and ask the shopkeeper of Wanbaoxuan
Ask for help." Zheng Haotian said seriously: "But I didn't expect that this ring is so powerful, and it seems to be highly valued by the big shopkeeper."
"Do you value it?" Yu Jiansheng smiled and said, "He doesn't value it, but he fears it."
Although even Yu Jiansheng couldn't figure out what kind of person could actually make Wanbaoxuan's shop owner feel intimidated, judging from the other party's unabashed behavior, Qi Jiaming was indeed in awe of the owner of this white jade ring.
Looking back at the tightly covered carriage, Yu Jiansheng sighed softly and said: "I really don't know where that strange man came from. Hehe, Qi Jiaming spent so much effort just to make you appear in front of that man in the future.
Say a kind word and don't betray his sincerity."
Zheng Haotian was slightly startled and said, "How do you know?"
Yu Jiansheng sighed softly and said, "If he didn't have such thoughts, how could he go to such great lengths to please you."
Zheng Haotian shook his head repeatedly and said: "Uncle Yu, you don't know, the possibility of me meeting that person in the future is also very slim. She..."
Yu Jiansheng waved his hand and said: "You must not mention that senior's matter to anyone in the future, even Weihua and Lin Ting."
Zheng Haotian opened his mouth and murmured: "But what if they must ask."
"Just say, I said it. If they have objections, let them come to me." Yu Jiansheng said calmly.
Zheng Haotian blinked twice, not knowing what he was thinking.
Let Yu Weihua and Lin Ting question Yu Jiansheng? Unless the mouse doesn't run away after seeing the cat, but takes the initiative to say hello.
The carriage stopped slowly, and the waiter at the door quickly helped park the carriage into the yard. After hearing the news, Yu Weihua and others rushed over, and when they saw a large carriage, they couldn't help but look at each other.
Yu Jiansheng and Zheng Haotian went to Wanbaoxuan to sell wolf skins in order to exchange for some silver, but why did they drive back with a big car when they returned?
Zheng Chenglian circled around the cart and said softly: "Village chief, this carriage and two horses are worth a lot of money."
Yu Jiansheng nodded slowly. He naturally knew that although this large car did not have any luxurious decorations, it was finely made and was very solid. Even the small road leading to Dalin Village could be passed directly. In addition,
In addition, although the two horses pulling the cart are not expensive horses, they are also tall, strong and powerful. If these two are sold, they are enough to be worth a hundred taels of silver.
Qi Jiaming gave the carriage and its goods away without hesitation. For them, this was definitely an unprecedented act of generosity.
Yu Weihua opened the car curtain and went up to take a look for a while. When he came down, his expression suddenly became quite strange.
"Dad, did you buy so much dried bird meat? Will our whole village switch to eating bird meat from now on?"
Yu Jiansheng was slightly startled. After he and Zheng Haotian left Wanbaoxuan, they drove the carriage here directly, but they never went to the car to see what the gift Qi Jiaming had given them.
This is not because they are careless, but they follow the etiquette passed down by the older generation. Before returning home, you cannot open the gifts given by others on the street and appraise them.
After hearing Yu Weihua's yelling, the two of them also opened the car curtain.
Behind the carriage, there are six large boxes, the top two of which have been opened, and there are dozens of perfectly pickled bar-tailed sandpipers neatly placed inside.
Yu Jiansheng smiled bitterly, stepped forward and opened all six boxes.
There were at least 200 bar-tailed sandpipers in the five boxes, but the last box contained some seasonings they could not recognize and a book on how to cook bar-tailed sandpipers.
After opening the book, Yu Jiansheng and others felt shocked.
Although the ink in this book is completely dry, the pages, the ink stains, and even the binding all have a brand new smell.
Zheng Chenglian looked at it carefully and said: "The handwriting on each page of this book is slightly different. Many people copied it separately and combined it into a volume."
Yu Jiansheng responded softly and said, "That big shopkeeper is really thoughtful." He paused, sighed deeply, and said, "This person has so much power."
After hearing that Zheng Haotian liked bar-tailed sandpipers, Qi Jiaming calmly asked people to copy the entire book in just an hour, dry it and bind it, plus these collected pickled bar-tailed sandpipers.
And seasoning, this is definitely not a simple thing.
If you don't have considerable power and strength, it is simply impossible to think about.
Zheng Haotian flipped through the book, and his expression changed slightly. If he was allowed to copy it by himself, it would take at least a day, and there must be no mistakes in it, otherwise the entire page of paper would be completely scrapped.
Zheng Chenglian's eyes turned to their faces and said: "Village chief, this is..."
Yu Jiansheng gave a rough account of their entry into Wanbaoxuan, and then ordered: "These things belong to Haotian, and you are not allowed to touch them. And as of now, no one is allowed to talk about it anymore. I heard
What?"
When he said this, his eyes flickered and locked onto Yu Weihua and Lin Ting.
The two boys nodded repeatedly. Under Yu Jiansheng's constant education for more than ten years, they really lacked the courage to resist.
Zheng Chenglian sighed softly and explained to the two of them: "It is said that some strange people have the power to reach heaven and earth, but it is precisely because of this that these people have weird tempers and never take human life in their eyes.
If we talk behind their backs, it may arouse the anger of those people, and even the whole village will suffer along with it."
Both Yu Weihua and Lin Ting trembled in their hearts, and then they completely gave up the idea of asking Zheng Haotian in the future.
Zheng Chenglian gently patted his son's shoulder and said, "It is certainly fate that Haotian comes into contact with such strange people, but I just don't know whether this fate brings blessing or disaster."
Everyone was silent. How could a person who Wan Baoxuan valued so much be a simple person? A single word from such a person could influence the fate of the entire Dalin Village.
Although from the current point of view, even Qi Jiaming is secretly trying to please him, who can tell what will happen in the future.
Lin Ting's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Uncle Yu, Uncle Zheng, do they want to find out our path by sending these things?"
Yu Jiansheng laughed dumbly and said: "Don't worry, if Wanbaoxuan wants to know our origins, he only needs to go to the martial arts school and inquire. At least he can recognize my old face, so there is no need to use this method at all."
He is a hunter who has registered at the martial arts school in the city. If someone takes his portrait to look up, they will be able to find him 100% of the time.
Zheng Chenglian shook his head and said: "Forget it, it's a blessing, not a curse. It's a curse that cannot be avoided. Since Haotian has been noticed, let everything take its course."
Yu Jiansheng and others nodded one after another. They packed up the cart and parked it in the hotel.
Three days later, they went to the military camp again, where they received the hunter waistbands of Zheng Haotian and three others.
This is a square waist plate made of bronze. It has the marks of a long sword and a bow and arrow, and the names of the three of them are engraved on it.
There is nothing strange or special about the entire waistband, and even the materials are just leftovers after forging weapons.
However, when Zheng Haotian and others received this waist badge from the military camp, they also received many envious looks.
After possessing the qualifications of hunters, as long as they are willing to join the army, they can at least become the deputy captain of a ten-man team, and as long as they accumulate experience in the future, they can be transferred to a full-time job at any time.
Similarly, because of their outstanding performance in the assessment, they also attracted the attention of many families.
However, after knowing that even the Li family was in trouble, the other families also relaxed their thoughts.
Because everyone had vaguely guessed that behind them, there must be a powerful force that even the Li family was afraid of. In this case, no one dared to act rashly.
