Chapter 383: It's better to have a father and a mother
Qin Tian was in a happy mood and was smiling all the way. Brother Monkey rode alongside him and joked funnyly, "I thought you didn't know how to laugh. How can you be so happy with just one medicinal herb?"
How could Qin Tian not be happy thinking that he would be able to refine the spirit-returning elixir in the near future.
Fourth-level martial arts experts, how many people spend their entire lives never reaching the threshold of this realm.
In this way, he will have more confidence to survive on this continent. Although he is protected by Yu Chen all the time, these powers are not his own after all. It is not as good as having his father and his mother.
In the afternoon of the next day, crossing the land in front was the border of the Crescent Moon Country.
The area ahead was vast and flat, and the scenery in the past was breathtakingly beautiful. Everyone thought that Chen Hu would come to rob someone along the way, but when they were about to leave the border of Gu Ming Country, they never saw a single ghost figure.
A few groups of bandits were just wandering around in the dark. Perhaps they saw the flag of the Zhenyuan Escort Agency and did not dare to act rashly.
Back then, Xue Dingqiu single-handedly carried out a bloody massacre, destroying twelve dens of thieves in one day. Such a bloody killing was so deeply rooted in the hearts of the people that it is still talked about with disgrace.
Xue Dingqiu jumped off the horse, walked to the side of the carriage and reminded him, "Master Mo, Brother Qing, the border is ahead."
Mr. Mo lifted the curtain and got out of the carriage. Mrs. Mo and her two children also walked out to breathe in the fresh air.
The most dangerous area was far away, and Mr. Mo's high-spirited heart was finally relieved. He smiled and said, "Thank you, Mr. Xue. Fortunately, I have your escort. Otherwise, the journey would be unpredictable."
Xue Dingqiu waved his hand and said, "You are the employer of our Zhenyuan Escort Bureau. It is our duty to protect your family's safety. Mr. Mo, you don't have to be polite."
"Haha, thank you anyway." After saying that, Master Mo got back into the carriage. When he came out again, he had a few more gold ingots in his hand. After putting the gold ingots into Xue Dingqiu's hand, Master Mo said, "This is
You can count the remaining money."
Xue Dingqiu only glanced at it and put the gold ingot into his pocket, and said, "According to the previous agreement, we need to send Mr. Mo's family to the nearest town to complete the task. Now this is still within the territory of Gu Mingguo. We will leave for another day tomorrow."
You can go to the nearest town in the Crescent Kingdom. Master Mo paying the balance now really shows his immense trust in our Zhenyuan Escort Agency."
"As long as we can reach the Crescent Kingdom safely, this little money doesn't matter. Besides, the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau has a reputation far and wide. How can I not trust it!"
After saying that, both of them burst out laughing. Qin Tian looked into the distance and asked, "Xue Biaotou, how many miles is it from the nearest town in the Crescent Kingdom?"
Xue Dingqiu said, "It's about fifty or sixty miles away. It can be reached in one day."
Brother Monkey on the side suggested, "Let's find a place to stay while it's still early."
Xue Dingqiu pointed to the front and said, "There is a place in front that is suitable as a camp. We used to rest our escort caravans there."
Mr. Mo said, "Then please ask Mr. Xue to lead the way. If we rest early, we can set off early tomorrow."
"Okay, let's set off."
An hour later, Qin Tian and the others arrived at the camp Xue Dingqiu mentioned.
This place is indeed suitable for a temporary camp. The flat ground is free of weeds and several relatively new tents are standing there.
It seems that Xue Dingqiu and the others often pass by here, so they did not take away the cooking tools and tents.
There is a stream 30 meters away, so making a fire and cooking is not a problem. The only worry is that predators will pop out of the jungle nearby to attack.
But this is not a big problem. As long as you don't run around and provoke those beasts, they generally won't choose to attack humans.
After arriving at the camp, the escorts from the Zhenyuan Escort Bureau skillfully cleaned up, then fetched water, gathered materials, and started cooking. Everything was so orderly.
You can tell at a glance that this kind of work is usually done a lot, and whoever is responsible for what will automatically finish the work without saying anything.
After a long journey, Mr. Mo's family, as ordinary people, no longer have much energy to help. Besides, they probably have to put food on the table and open their mouths on weekdays. This kind of menial and tiring work probably won't be of much help.
After the meal was ready, Xue Dingqiu enthusiastically invited Mr. Mo's family of four to have a meal together.
"It's wet and cold at night, so here's some thin wine. Let's have a bowl of it to go away the cold!"
Drinks are essential when going out. Xue Dingqiu poured a bowl of wine for everyone. The rich aroma of wine instantly hit his nostrils. Brother Monkey impatiently picked up the bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and then shouted happily, "Good wine."
Xue Dingqiu laughed and said, "Hahahaha, Brother Monkey is really generous. This wine is brewed with a unique secret recipe. When someone offered me thirty gold ingots to buy it, I was not willing to sell it."
The monkey handed the bowl to Xue Dingqiu and signaled for another bowl. At the same time, he did not forget to say a few words of flattery: "You want to buy the recipe of this wine for thirty ingots of gold? What a wonderful idea! I am still a head over heels for such a smooth and fragrant wine.
I’ll drink it soon.”
"Come, come, let's get to know each other. If you have any items that need to be escorted back to Gu Ming Country in the future, please contact me at Zhenyuan Escort Agency."
Brother Monkey drank more than half of it in one gulp and licked the corner of his mouth with unfinished content. Then he looked at Qin Tian who had been looking at him and said, "Why are you looking at me? This wine is really good. Why don't you try it?"
Mr. Mo squinted his eyes and took a sip, then smacked his lips, as if he was savoring the feeling of the strong aroma of strong liquor reverberating in his throat. With the light of the bonfire, he could vaguely see that his face turned red.
Mr. Mo nodded, "I have drunk a lot of wine, but Xue Biaotou's wine is really different. It has a blend of sweetness, aroma and aroma. It is smooth in the mouth and has a lot of stamina. It can be called a fine wine!"
"If you like it, drink more. This is to give Xue Dingqiu face!" Xue Dingqiu laughed loudly and filled another bowl for everyone.
Seeing Qin Tian sitting next to him unmoved, Mr. Mo thought that Qin Tian didn't know how to drink, and then said, "This wine is indeed good. It would be a pity if I don't try it, little brother."
Qin Tian chuckled and said, "Please feel free to drink. I won't drink. I'm afraid of getting drunk and causing trouble when I go out. In the wild mountains and mountains here, if you are drunk and taken away at night, you will die unjustly."
Mr. Mo thought the same thing. This wild beast in the wild mountains likes to come out at night. It will be troublesome when he is drunk. The bowl he put to his mouth could not help but slowly put down.
"Brother Qing, you are too worried. We often move around in this area. We know every plant and tree here. There are ferocious beasts, but they are just low-level beasts. They pose no threat to us at all." Xue Dingqiu held up the wine bowl as he spoke.
He said, "Here, let me offer you a bowl. Although we have not known each other for a short time, our acquaintance is fate."
