The addition of Lu Qingyu did not attract much attention from the caravan. After all, it was just a small porter.
No one cares whether a porter can lift five hundred kilograms or five thousand kilograms.
Lin Dabiao was still circling Lin Daier's carriage as always, while Lin Daier still stayed in the carriage to take care of her grandfather.
These two people didn't even notice that in their caravan, there was a young man who was about to change their destiny.
Since the country of Ruijin is very mountainous and carriages cannot travel smoothly, most caravans will hire some porters to take on the task of transporting some general goods.[
This time, the Lin family's caravan hired about twenty porters at once, and each of them was promised a very generous reward. This was already a big deal for the Lin family, a small business family. invested.
Among the twenty-odd porters, most of them only carried more than two hundred kilograms of goods, and their salaries were relatively average. Only Lu Qingyu and the other two young people had different burdens, which were obviously heavier than the others. It's a lot heavier, so the pay is naturally much higher than others.
These two young men are none other than the two young men named Ma Xu and Leng Yi who were scolded by Lin Dabiao in Red Maple City.
Due to the different burdens of the three people, an invisible film was formed between the ordinary porters and the three people came together naturally.
After half a day of contact, Lu Qingyu had a general understanding of these two young people.
Ma Xu, just twenty years old, is a warm-hearted person who smiles all day long. Despite his young age, he already has the strength of a second-level intermediate level, so he can carry a load of more than 300 kilograms on the road. In addition, this guy What ** does is to find people to chat and joke with, regardless of whether the other person is familiar with him or not.
The other one, Leng Yi, lives up to his name. Not only does he have a cold face all day long, but he also puts on a look that doesn't please anyone. Especially when he is in front of Lu Qingyu, this guy's expression Even more bitter and resentful, only when talking to Ma Xu does this guy become a little more normal.
However, Leng Yi does have some cold skills, because although he is about the same age as Ma Xu, he has already shouldered a burden of four hundred kilograms, and is already the person closest to Lu Qingyu in the entire team.
But it was just close. Whenever he saw Lu Qingyu wandering around leisurely carrying 500 kilograms, Leng Yi's lips would purse tightly, and a smell called dissatisfaction was strong in his eyes. It can't be dissolved no matter what.
Later, after an introduction from the talkative Ma Xu, Lu Qingyu learned some of the hidden secrets.
It turns out that the Lin family is a branch of a large family within the Ruijin Business Alliance, and several generations ago were famous merchants in Ruijin.
However, when it was passed down to Lin Daier's father's generation, the Lin family's heirs began to become less and less useful, and the huge family business also began to have successors.
However, despite a lot of foresight, the Lin family is still barely able to maintain its prosperity thanks to its ancestral connections.
But if one day the head of the Lin family, Lin Chuancai, Lin Daier's grandfather, passes away, the decline of the Lin family will become inevitable. It is precisely because of this that Lin Chuancai has used his smartest and most beloved people in recent years. He took his granddaughter with him, hoping that she, a little girl, would be able to shoulder the burden of the family in the future.
Leng Yi's ancestor was also a member of the Merchant Alliance and had some connections with the Lin family. It was only because of the decline in family fortunes a few years ago that he came to join the Lin family.
However, because there were villains like Lin Dabiao in the middle, and because Leng Yi didn't want to eat the food that came to him, he volunteered to be a small porter in the caravan.
After listening to Ma Xu's introduction, Lu Qingyu scratched his chin with a smile and whispered:
"I see, but according to my observation, Leng Yi is not a character who wants to live under others for a long time, and the way this guy looks at Miss Lin's carriage is not normal either!"
When Ma Xu heard this, he immediately poked Lu Qingyu's waist with a smile on his face, covered his mouth and said with a smile: [
"You guy, you have really bad eyes! That's right, when Leng Yi came to the Lin family and saw Miss Dai'er for the first time, he was astonished, and the love in his heart was like a torrential river. Normally, it goes on and on! Don’t look at that boy’s cold appearance, but in fact he made a passionate oath in front of me many times in private, saying that he would never marry anyone other than Miss Dai’er in this life!”
"Well, it turns out that this kid is still an infatuated person. You can't tell, but he is really cold-faced and hot-hearted!" Lu Qingyu glanced at Leng Yi, who was not far away, and joked.
Ma Xu chuckled and whispered:
"What the hell! Let me tell you, this guy is boring!"
"Ma Xu, what are you muttering about? Are you saying bad things about me again? I can tell by your thief look that something is up to you!" Leng Yi caught a glimpse of Ma Xu's snickering look from the corner of his eye, and was immediately chilled. Came over with a straight face.
Seeing this, Ma Xu quickly put on a serious look and said loudly to Lu Qingyu:
"Ha, it's nothing, it's nothing! Brother Qingyu, I think the weather today is really good, perfect for carrying a load and going on the road! You think so, right?"
Lu Qingyu looked up at the sky covered with dark clouds, casually pulled a dead leaf blown off by the strong wind from his head, and replied in the same serious manner:
"Well, what I said is right, and I think I am right!"
"Haha, Brother Qingyu is such a wonderful person!" Ma Xu looked at Lu Qingyu's face that was more determined and serious than his own, and immediately blinked and laughed.
Leng Yi made a faint "chi" sound in his mouth, and didn't care about Ma Xu. He just looked at Lu Qingyu, and the corners of his eyes twitched a few times without any trace.
When the team set off from Red Maple City in the morning, it was still a beautiful day with clear blue skies. However, after walking for a few hours, when the team left the boundaries of Red Maple City and officially set foot on the territory of Ruijin Country, the weather suddenly changed. It got really bad.
The sky was densely covered with large dark clouds that came from nowhere, and the strong wind came suddenly like a reckless uninvited guest, bringing down large tracts of dead leaves. The world was desolate, and the cold autumn weather caught people off guard. .
Due to the dry climate and numerous volcanoes in the Flame Kingdom, it rarely experiences rainy weather throughout the year, but Ruijin Kingdom is different. Weather changes like this are not unusual here.
As an old merchant who has been doing business all year round, the Lin family caravan has obviously taken precautions against such weather. Not only did it quickly distribute hats, raincoats and tarpaulins to cover the goods to every member of the caravan, they even gave out a few A pot of warm soju is used to dispel the cold.
Huang San distributed three jugs of wine to the porters team, two of which were given to ordinary porters, while Lu Qingyu and three others shared the other one.
