Chapter 4 Departure

The next day, at the close of Ruyi Restaurant, Dongzhang was settled at the counter. After a while, Dongzhang took the account book and found the shopkeeper's room to report the bill to him. Looking at the shopkeeper with a smile on his face, Dongzhang carefully approached him and said:

"Shopkeeper, can you tell me something?"

The shopkeeper who was happy and fat, looked up at Dongzhang and said kindly: "What are you reserved, say."

"Hehe, that young man recently found the whereabouts of his biological father, so he wanted to try his luck to see if he could recognize a relative. Dongzhang also knew that the shopkeeper was Dongzhang's second reborn parents, so he didn't dare to make a decision privately, so he discussed with the shopkeeper's owner and borrowed someone from the shopkeeper. When he found it, he would return the person. Look."

After saying that, he took out a hundred silver patterns and handed them to the shopkeeper. Dongzhang gave the money to him as well. Although the shopkeeper was also kind-hearted, he was a little greedy for small gains, so the second uncle was different. He was honest and honest.

The shopkeeper who had no expression at first looked happy to see this action, and then he smiled happily. He skillfully weighed the money and said with a smile:

"Searching for a relative is a big deal. If you have any discussion or not, it is rare that you have this filial piety and you are sure."

Before he finished speaking, Dongzhang said again: "The person who borrowed the second uncle in the kitchen is the second uncle in the kitchen. However, it is inevitable that he will delay some time. The second uncle is famously loyal to our Ruyi Restaurant. If you want to say that loyalty is no one except our second uncle, you can't help but the foolish sister in the second uncle's family, for fear that the second uncle will return, so our restaurant will not recognize people and will be afraid that the second uncle's family will be cut off. So the young master dared to let the boss establish a document so that the foolish sister in the second uncle's family can rest assured."

After saying that, he took out another 100 taels of silver and handed over it. When he first heard it, the shopkeeper who had already frowned a little, but when he saw Dongzhang taking out the silver appropriately, his brows stretched out again and said:

"What's the difficulty? Let's write."

Dongzhang immediately presented the prepared paper and pen with both hands. The shopkeeper looked at Dongzhang in surprise and then took the pen and wrote it generously. Finally, he stamped the seal and was finished.

Dongzhang, who was relieved, also started a series of rainbow farts and then apologized and sued.

Dongzhang, who was out of the door, muttered to himself as he looked at the words in his hand:

Everything is ready, only the east wind is missing.

Therefore, Dongzhang studied very hard in the following days, and the down-and-out scholar and the old Chinese doctor were so scared that the child had become evil. Dongzhang was also steadily absorbing the knowledge taught by the two old men.

Time flies, and three months are long or short. Just when the old scholar was about to apply for the imperial examination for Dongzhang, Dongzhang came to say goodbye with gifts.

"Teacher, the students are going to travel far. These days, thanks to the teacher's teachings, this mountain is high and the water is far away. If we are destined to be together in the future, we will definitely meet again. Teacher, take care of ourselves."

The old scholar stared at the student who was performing the student ritual in front of him. He couldn't speak for a long time. Dongzhang was not a slow person. He stood up and looked at the old scholar deeply and left without looking back.

The same scene continued to be staged in Huichun Hall, but the old Chinese doctor was more open-minded than the old scholar. He just touched Dongzhang's head and said:

"Remember to come back and see the old man when you have time. You still have a lot of pharmacology that you haven't learned."

In this strange world, when I heard such heartwarming words, Dongzhang endured the soreness of his nose, and Dongzhang also responded softly: "Hey, Dongzhang will come back to see you. Take good care of you, the student is gone."

After saying that, he left without looking back. When he returned to Ruyi Restaurant, Dongzhang went into the backyard to say his final farewell to these uncles and aunts, all the big and small. The gifts were sent out were more than two cars. Of course, the shopkeeper must be indispensable. Finally, he bowed deeply to the shopkeeper and the uncles and aunts behind him, and said:

"This year and a half years have passed by everyone's care, so Dongzhang has become a personal one. This Ruyi Tower is a home in Dongzhang, a real home. Everyone, take care of yourself."

After saying that, Dongzhang followed his second uncle to the restaurant resolutely. Dongzhang, who had not looked back, knew that everyone was standing in front of the building and watching him leave. There was no way. Since Xiao Dongzhang hated the occasion of parting the most. When he looked back, tears might really flow, so he was not a man.

At the same time, I was also sighing in my heart that when I lived for a lifetime, when I was not covered in my body and food, it was Ruyi Tower that gave me the feeling of being born as a human being and the decentness of being reborn as a human being.

Instead of those walking corpses who are not covered in clothes outside, although the uncles and aunts all have some minor problems of taking advantage of them, they are also really good to themselves. When they are sick, someone cooks medicine and delivers food. This is outside, and no one knows when they die. Oh, there is also the shopkeeper, the good guy...

Thinking of this in my heart, Uncle Er unknowingly arrived at the caravan I wanted to follow on this trip. The two of them chose this caravan after asking about the three companies. The reputation in the industry is that they have strong strength, broad face, and official background. They are simply the best choice for rides outside.

At this time, the uncle and nephew were still wearing coarse linen clothes. When they went out, the more colorful they were, the more miserable they died. After seeing so many ancient costumes, Dongzhang knew that.

After handing over the money that should be paid, the uncle and nephew followed the caravan and set off on the road. Looking at the team of dozens or hundreds of people, it was not only Dong's uncle and nephew who were riding the bike. There were also more than ten people in total. Therefore, the uncle and nephew were not so prominent in the team, and they were not even at all.

Dongzhang wants this effect. People are afraid of being famous and pigs, and when they encounter people who are robbed, they must first look for rich people. Therefore, it is not a bad thing to be low-key.

However, Dongzhang didn't dare to save the money he should pay at all. How could Uncle Ren complain about how he spent his fortune? Dongzhang had to insist on paying these care fees, and he gave only a lot of more and less.

There is also food expenses during the journey. You can walk on two legs for thousands of miles? It doesn’t cost money to pick up the goods. Anyway, you have to spend money when you go out, and it’s the same everywhere.

Under the second uncle's resentful eyes, Dongzhang settled the fees for the entire journey of the two. His quick attitude of paying money also made the caravan's housekeeper a little surprised and glanced at Dongzhang's uncle and nephew, and asked by the way, and said:

"You uncle and nephew traveled all the way there, you don't do business or go to business."

"When we went back to the housekeeper, our uncle and nephew heard that the close relatives there were developed, so we went to join us with shamelessness. This long journey, my uncle's legs and feet are not very good. Can we rub the donkey carts for miscellaneous items? Don't worry, we don't dare to approach those valuable vehicles. Our uncle and nephew are both famous for being honest and honest."

As he said that, he took out twenty taels of silver and handed it to the butler with the goatee. After the butler accepted it without any trace, he said to Dongzhang:

"I think you, a kid, are very tempted by me. You must take care of me along the way."

The butler said the second half of the sentence to the caravan's guards, and the guards also responded loudly, and after that, they waved their hands to signal Dongzhang and the others to retreat.

After receiving the response, Dongzhang and the others followed the caravan in a stalemate, and took out some scattered money to the driver of the donkey cart. While he was grinning, his uncle and nephew naturally got on the donkey cart loading.

At this time, there were only three people in the car, including Dongzhang, uncle and nephew, and three other coachmen. Nearby were guards riding tall horses. Looking at the second uncle who was still feeling a little sorry for money, Dongzhang took out a piece of dried meat from his bag and bit it and said vaguely:

"Uncle II, I'm looking for peace when I go out. It's okay when I'm fine. When I have something to do, the money we give may save our lives."

After saying that, he pointed to the rest of the people who followed closely behind the caravan and continued, "Look at them, some of them seem to be rich, but they would rather walk with their legs with those who are not rich than buy some rides. So what if the thief comes?"

In the second uncle's shocked expression, Dongzhang slowly said: "Although it is not good to discuss people behind the scenes, if there are bandits pursuing them, they will most likely die."

The second uncle is not a child either. Look at himself and the ten people. We can calculate that the two legs of a man cannot escape from four legs. If there is a thief chasing him, the caravan will definitely save the goods first. If there is no agreement, it is probably a pursuit battle. As long as you can escape, you will be considered as much as you can.

Then the uncle and nephew had no intention of talking. They both leaned silently on the donkey cart and stared blankly at the scenery along the road. Just when it was almost dark, the caravan began to choose a location to set up camp.

At this time, Dongzhang looked at the more than ten people following the car. They were all exhausted and listless at this moment. It was because Dongzhang's uncle and nephew had been riding in the donkey cart for a day and felt like their bodies were about to fall apart, let alone the two legs of their way.

The caravan guards were all veterans and should have had a lot of experience in business traveling. In a short while, they had already set up fires and set up boilers. Dong's uncle and nephew also quietly approached one of the fires. This was the time for the second uncle to show his skills.

I saw him gradually getting the position of the chef-cutter, which was enough to show that Uncle Er’s skillful skills were recognized by everyone in no time.

Dongzhang sat next to him with a smile and enjoyed his life. Just as Dongzhang and his friends started eating happily, Dongzhang saw a considerable number of people in the ride-hailing gang not far away who did not choose to join the caravan, but instead ate the dry food they carried with them.

But thinking that he might just follow one or two hundred miles away, he stopped paying too much attention to it, but silently drank his own hot soup.
