After saying goodbye to everyone, Su Zimu followed Ji Gongming and officially joined the caravan.
From the beginning to the end, he did not dare to look back, for fear that he would not be able to suppress the sadness in his heart.
Don't talk about being pretentious, people are animals with emotions. From time traveling to now, for more than three years, more than a thousand days and nights, he has been with the Xu family and his daughter day and night. If
If there is no disturbance in my heart, is I still a human being?
It wasn't until Ji Gongming arranged him in a car that he quietly turned around and took a peek.
On the way here, there were no familiar figures.
That's fine, it saves you the trouble again.
But I couldn't hide the loss I felt, as if there was a piece missing in my heart.
The sky was getting brighter, and a loud cry came from the front: "Let's go!"
For a moment, the mules neighed and the horses brayed. Amid the driver's shouts, more than a dozen vehicles lined up and moved forward one by one.
The horse pulling the cart looks ordinary, but its chest is covered with scales similar to the color of its coat. The horse's hoof is as big as a plate, and it makes a clanging sound when it knocks on the bluestone pavement.
Su Zimu jumped on the carriage full of boxes and sat on the box which was as tall as a person. Seeing that the top was fairly flat, he simply put his luggage under his head and lay there in a daze.
After a while, the convoy arrived at the edge of Xianfang. A clear boundary separated Xianfang from the outside world. There were many houses crisscrossed by roads inside the boundary, and there were lush vegetation and towering green trees outside the boundary. They were two completely different worlds.
That dividing line is actually the formation that protects the Immortal Square. It is invisible but qualitative, like a large transparent bowl covering the Immortal Square.
Ji Gongming, who was walking at the front, took out a jade-carved token, and he didn't know what method he used. The token flashed, and the formation immediately opened a passage.
The motorcade continued to move forward. After leaving the Qingshi Road in Xianfang, the carriage bumped a lot.
Su Zimu looked up at the sky. He didn't know if it was an illusion, but the sky outside the boundary seemed bluer.
At this moment, a familiar voice suddenly came from the roadside: "Little curtain——"
Su Zimu sat up and turned around to see Xu Ning standing on the roadside, raising her arms and waving to him.
Behind Xu Ning, stood Bian Yuming with a smile on his face, and Xu Yun with a dark complexion.
Su Zimu smiled, raised his hand and shook it hard to let Xu Ning see him.
Suddenly, his heart felt at ease.
It turns out that there are still people in this world who care about him.
The last car drove out of Xianfang, and the formation closed again, isolating the inside and outside.
Su Zimu clearly saw that Xu Ning stood there until they could no longer see each other.
He felt lost again in his heart, but besides the loss, there was also care and fetters.
The trees on the left and right were very tall and dense. When he lay down again, he could only see a sliver of sky. It was a very transparent and pure blue, which slowly calmed his impetuous heart.
I can't remember where I read a sentence, a person's life is nothing more than separation and death. He has already died once, and now he just wants to live well.
Live well in a completely different way!
Under the car, the two accompanying guards exchanged glances and jumped into the car together.
One of them is in his early thirties, with a square face, and a twisted scar under the left corner of his eye; the other is in his mid-20s, has a narrow chin, high cheekbones, and a mouth full of rotten teeth with yellow background and black edges.
Out of the most basic courtesy, Su Zimu turned over and sat up. Just as he was about to move his luggage to his side, Hei Ya suddenly reached out and held the luggage: "Hey, what kind of treasure is this?"
Su Zimu frowned, stretched his arm hard, and pulled the bag back with a swipe on the ground.
"Hey, you have quite a bad temper!" Hei Ya grinned, "Little brother, your cultivation is not that good, isn't it?"
"I have no cultivation level." Su Zimu said lightly.
Ji Gong knows this clearly, and there is no need to hide it - ten fingers are stretched out to determine whether they are long or short. In terms of closeness and distance, how can he, a temporary passer-by, compare with the guards in the team?
Hei Ya immediately showed a sudden look on his face, and let out a long voice, and the only vigilance in his eyes turned into contempt: "I'm telling you, hehe, little brother, we are destined to meet here, as long as we meet each other here,
You give us two brothers some benefits, and I didn’t say that from now on, we two brothers will protect you!"
Ma Scarface said nothing, and always looked like he was smiling but not smiling.
Su Zimu sighed, are these two people stupid?
As the saying goes, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes. It's not surprising to bully a newcomer and extort money. But after hearing that he was not a monk, these two guys didn't even bother to cover up, and openly asked for benefits without any intention of avoiding it.
Su Zimu didn't know the organizational structure of the caravan, but just looking at the behavior of these two people and the indifference of others, he knew that this team was just a bunch of ragtag people.
Suppressing the urge to leave the caravan and return to Xianfang immediately, Su Zimu suddenly raised his hand and shouted loudly: "Jiu Guanshi!"
The sound spread far away, and Scarface and Heiya's expressions changed drastically.
The team suddenly stopped. Ji Gongming's face was ashen and he rushed to the back of the team: "Su Zimu, what are you shouting! You are the only one who can speak, right?"
"Sorry." Su Zimu shrugged insincerely, "I just want to ask, has Uncle Yun given all the money that should be given?"
When he saw Scarface and Heiya sitting in the car, Ji Gongming knew what had happened. He pointed at the two and shouted: "Get out of the way!"
Scarface and Black Tooth walked away dejectedly without saying a word.
Su Zimu showed a harmless smile: "Manager Ji, so I don't have to give anyone any benefits, right?"
"Yes!" Ji Gongming roared angrily, turned around and walked forward.
"Thank you!" Su Zimu said loudly.
He knew very well that offending Scarface and Black Fang would do no good. As long as they found an opportunity, they would definitely give him some shoes to wear.
But he would rather offend these two people and Ji Gongming than give them any benefits. Otherwise, when other people look at it, they will think, oh, this guy is so rich even if he is so polite?
Well, let's wait for others to line up and come to him for benefits.
Therefore, when you should be tough, you cannot back down, otherwise it may seem to solve the immediate trouble, but it will bring long-term hidden dangers.
He didn't take the hatred between the two people to heart. Now that Ji Gongming had come forward, asking for trouble would be like slapping Ji Gongming in the face.
And it’s better for two people to cause trouble for him than for everyone to cause trouble for him, right?
Thumbs up for his wit, Su Zimu continued to lie in the car in a daze, wondering where to look for opportunities.
Just like this, we were swaying all the way, and it felt like the sun was already setting in the west after a while.
At about three o'clock in the afternoon, an open space appeared on the roadside, and Ji Gongming immediately gave the order to set up camp and rest.
Don't think that Ji Gongming is crazy. It gets dark early in the mountains. In a few hours at most, there will definitely be no discussion about sunset.
When you go out, you must prepare everything in advance. When things happen, it will be too late.
