Chapter 109 Escort the escort to take away the goods
The person who shouted out to Yu Lie was none other than Fang Wumu, the godson of Mr. Fang of Yaofangtang!
The other party had what he called a kuji on the bridge of his nose and could barely see clearly, so he recognized Yu Lie.
Yu Lie looked surprised, nodded towards the other party, and said in return, "Yu has met fellow Taoist Fang."
Fang Wumu led a team. There were quite a few people in the team, there were actually twenty or thirty people, and all of them were carrying large and small bags, leading mules, horses and donkeys, and the backs of the animals were also full of goods.
It seemed that the other party didn't know which good place to collect herbs and hunt, and was about to return home with a full harvest.
The meeting between Yu Lie and Fang Wumu did not cause much commotion among the mules and horses, but it did attract the attention of Pu Xing, Shan Daotong and others.
Pu Xing and the others looked at each other in confusion.
They watched Yu Lie and Fang Wumu chatting familiarly, and they all wondered how Yu Lie got involved with Fang Wumu.
"This person's surname is Taoist. I heard that his godfather is the master of the alchemy room. The master is a high-ranking Taoist! When did Brother Yu get to know such a person?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Although Brother Yu is also in the alchemy room, he is just a small boss. He is not from the same hall..." Many speculations appeared in everyone's minds.
Pu Xing herself was also staring closely at Yu Lie, her eyes flickering.
Because Pu Xing and his party came here specifically to find Fang Wumu, Fang Wumu did not just talk to Yu Lie. After saying a few words, the other party turned around again and said with a smile:
"It's fate! It's really fate. I didn't expect that Fang asked fellow Taoist Pu to escort him and met Brother Yu."
"Haha! If nothing else, we are all acquaintances. In this way, Fang's worries can be put safely in his stomach." Fang Wumu said with a smile, and also bowed to Pu Xing and others.
Although Pu Xing was surprised, serious matters would not be delayed. She looked as usual and started talking to Fang Wumu.
Yu Lie leaned in among them, listened for a few times, and immediately understood what the two people were going to do when they met together.
It turns out that in the early days of the Da Dian Army, due to interceptions and killings from other towns, the Taoist boys in Blackwater Town had no choice but to work as escorts to transport goods and cooperate with each other.
Basically, outside the stronghold, the Taoist boys who collect medicine and hunt form a formation to protect themselves. When the collected medicines are sufficient, the Taoist boys who are rich in medicine will hire Taoist boys who are not rich in medicine and return to the base together.
It's called "escorting escorts and taking goods away".
In this way, the safety of the former is guaranteed to a certain extent, and the latter can also receive subsidies so that they will not return empty-handed, which is a win-win solution.
As the turmoil subsided after the first month of going down the mountain, this kind of escorting escorts and taking goods became less common, but it did not disappear completely. On the contrary, it became more serious. At every station, there were
There are only a few teams with good reputations.
Pu Xing, Shan Daotong and his team are the ones with a small reputation among them.
They would make an appointment with someone in advance at the station, and then leave the village one after another, and then meet again at the agreed time. In this way, they could not only make money by collecting herbs and hunting in the wild, but also earn money from other people as escorts.
And Fang Wumu is the big customer Pu Xing is eyeing on this trip.
Moreover, what Pu Xing was eyeing was not the reward money from the other party, but the hope that through Fang Wumu, she could get into the relationship with the old man of the medicine prescription hall.
Because Yaofangtang is one of several nearby settlements, and the mountain village where it is located is the territory of the Fang family and his son!
Fang Wumu's trip this time happened to be leading a caravan from the village, wandering around doing business.
He first bought them from Taoist boys in the wild at low prices, exchanged them for medicinal materials and treasures, and then resold them in settlements and collected the difference. He was a second-hand dealer.
Listening to this, Yu Lie looked at Fang Wumu hard, with envy in his eyes.
Wu Mu has really found a good father here. Not only can he be comfortable and noble in the town, but when he comes down the mountain to the wild mountains and wild mountains, he will still be noble and comfortable, and there will be people who come to fawn on him.
Moreover, how can hard work such as collecting herbs and mining be compared with doing business and collecting the price difference? The former is nothing but cattle and horses, while the latter can make a fortune!
Fang Wu Mu and Pu Xing chatted and arranged the guys in a familiar manner, so they could set off soon.
In the meantime, Pu Xing repeatedly looked at Yu Lie beside her, wanting to make some insinuations and find out what the relationship between Yu Lie and Fang Wu Mu was.
Before Pu Xing could say anything, Fang Wumu turned around and glanced at the packed mules, donkeys and horses, his face showing joy. He cupped his hands towards the two of them and said:
"This time, not only do you have fellow Taoist Pu as your escort, but you also have brothers Yu as your companions. It seems that this trip is safe!"
Pu Xing was not a fool. She raised her eyelids slightly and stared at Yu Lie closely, beginning to doubt Yu Lie's cultivation and identity.
"Could it be that the one who killed a thousand swords used a breath-absorbing charm? He is also in the middle?"
Sure enough, Fang Wumu said to Yu Lie in surprise:
"Hey! By the way, why is Brother Yu alone? Where are your vicious guys? As the big boss, you..."
Yu Lie dealt with it casually.
Hearing this, Pu Xing's heart was filled with surprise and confusion. The smile on her face froze for a few breaths, and she continued to stare at Yu Lie closely, as if she wanted to see the flowers on Yu Lie's face.
Although Shan Daotong and others around him were busy, they were also very curious in their hearts and wanted to know what the relationship between Yu Lie and Fang Wumu was!
Shan Daotong and others pricked up their ears. When they heard the three words "Big Tou Tou", they all immediately turned to look at Yu Lie.
They were surprised and happy.
Among them, the sharp-faced woman who had ridiculed Yu Lie and was scolded by Pu Xing had a slightly pale face.
These people couldn't help but talk: "Brother Yu, he is a middle-ranking Taoist boy?!"
Shan Daotong also slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly and softly: "Good guy! Brother Yu is really amazing. It's Shan who underestimated him. It seems that Brother Yu is not about to be promoted to the middle position, but has already become
Got the middle position! Haha!”
Shan Taotong also said to the people around him: "The middle Taoist position is not the most important, Brother Yu's position is! He is working in the alchemy room, so no wonder he has a good relationship with that young master Fang.
"
While discussing, the group of people in the Zayuan looked at Yu Lie, a little scared at first, but then they all became happy.
After all, we are all acquaintances, and we had a great time drinking together last night!
Now that Pu Xing and Yu Lie are in the middle of the courtyard, doesn't it mean that they have two thighs to hug?
Especially Shan Daotong, the other party was secretly happy, and even rubbed his hands and thought to himself:
"When I get back to the town, I must fawn over and ask Yu Lie to find a job for me in the alchemy room!" Last night, Yu Lie came to stay and join us, and it was he, Shan, who led the way!
The people in the courtyard were first surprised and then happy, and became excited.
It's just that Pu Xing's inner emotions are not that simple.
After she was surprised, she looked at Yu Lie and gritted her teeth secretly:
"He's just a middle-ranking Taoist boy, and so is I. Why did you pretend to be in front of me last night? It seems that your kindness last night really just fed the wolf!"
Pu Xing thought of Yu Lie's behavior last night. She suspected that the reason why Yu Lie came here was because he wanted to make a special show in front of others and deliberately made her laugh!
This made Pu Xing yell at Yu Lie in her heart: "You are the one who chopped off the head when you were in disgrace, you are such a bastard!"
Finally, her face turned cold, and she couldn't help but hum to Yu Lie:
"I see, Brother Yu has been rich for a long time!"
After saying that, Pu Xing bowed her hands to Yu Lie, and then walked towards her own hands.
This caused the conversation between the two people next to them to stop immediately.
Fang Wumu looked between Pu Xing and Yu Lie with strange eyes.
The man calmly helped Kuiji, and found that Pu Xing's back was really bumpy, and his waist was swollen with swollen breasts, which made his lower abdomen feel hot.
Yu Lie looked surprised, and when he came to his senses, a slightly embarrassed look appeared on his face. He cupped his hands towards Fang Wumu, and subconsciously wanted to chase after him to explain.
However, after just moving, Yu Lie froze with a calm expression and did not take a step forward...
