After slacking off for himself yesterday, Guo Jiaqi started his single hard practice again.
Xiao Yanyu was curious and drank too much yesterday, and he still hasn't woken up yet.
Chen Mo slept on the roof for half the night before getting up, inhaling the essence of the sun and the moon, and exhaling the turbid air in his body.
A group of big men must sleep until they wake up naturally, no matter whether the sky falls or the earth falls.
The mess left yesterday can only be cleaned up by women who can still get up in the morning.
However, the newlyweds and their families still have to get up tiredly and complete the final rituals.
After completing all the formalities, Guo Shengwen came to Chen Mo and asked him for a map of Chu State.
For an escort agency, there must be a map.
Guo Shengwen led Chen Mo into his room, took out a sheepskin map, and spread it on the table.
Chen Mo looked at the map carefully and heard Guo Shengwen say: "Brother Chen, are you planning to leave?"
"tomorrow."
Chen Mo answered simply.
"Do you need me to find someone to draw this map?"
Guo Shengwen suggested that this map would not be given away. It is not that they are stingy, but that it is exclusive to their escort agency. In addition to having basic information with ordinary maps, there are also special marks made by their escort agency over the years.
The wealth they accumulated at the cost of blood.
"Need not."
Chen Mo didn't even think about asking for their map. He knew their rules and difficulties. If they could share it with him, they would no longer regard him as an outsider.
"Brother Chen, where do you plan to go?"
"Go east."
Chen Mo didn't finish his words, there was no need.
"The east side is not as peaceful as here."
Guo Shengwen sighed.
The territory of Chu State runs east-west, and the center of power is in the west of Chu State. At this time, Xiayang City is also located near the south-central part of the map. Because the east is farther away from the center of power, there are more emperors there. As long as there are no evil intentions, Chu State will
The emperor of the country did not have much energy to manage there.
Also because the oppression there is more serious, there are also many bandits who dominate the mountains. It can be said that there is a mixed bag of good and bad.
Guo Shengwen probably has to introduce the situation there to Chen Mo. He doesn't know much about it, because there are too many robbers, and they basically won't do business there unless the income is very high, high enough.
Ignore the risk.
"Just right."
Hearing about the chaos there, Chen Mo also wanted to see it. That would be interesting. After all, a dull life was not what he wanted.
Guo Shengwen shook his head and smiled helplessly.
"Since you have made up your mind, let it go as you wish. Then I will tell you what I know..."
With a "bang", the door to the room was pushed open, and the old man walked in carelessly and sat down on the chair.
"What are you doing, Maoli?" Guo Shengwen said angrily, then sniffed with his nose and continued: "Where were you fooling around last night?"
"I don't know either. I thought I was drunk to death last night, but a sudden softness woke me up." Old Dantou himself was a little puzzled. "Good guy, when I came back to my senses, I was already in the woods.
I was in the Flower Alley, and I didn’t know which guy pulled me there, so I thought to myself, I’d be at peace once I’m here, so I slept there for one night.”
"You fucking have the nerve to say that." Guo Shengwen grabbed something on the table and threw it towards the old man. "Who pulled you there? You damn well ran there yourself. You said you were going out to relieve yourself last night.
After untying your hands, no one came back. Everyone thought you went home and went to bed. You did go home, to your second home."
"Is there such a thing? I don't remember it at all." The old man grabbed the thing thrown by the boss. This skillful move is probably not the first time. He put the thing aside without looking at it.
.
"Gungungun, I'm talking to Brother Chen right now." Guo Shengwen waved to him.
"Okay, but let me tell you what I overheard yesterday."
"Is it important? If it's not important, don't talk about it." Guo Shengwen said impatiently.
"Then I don't know. After waking up yesterday and having a lot of talk with the person next to me, I heard her nagging about the recent big business in the Sun family." Old Dantou rubbed his head and said.
"What business? How did your old friend know about it?" When it came to the news about the Sun family, Guo Shengwen had to hear it. After all, they were competitors.
"She didn't know what the business was. She just said resentfully that she heard it from the oiran in their pavilion. Their oiran said that Mr. Sun of the Sun family in the escort agency said that he wanted to keep her out. As long as this big business was completed,
Now that she is rich, she will be envied by my old sweetheart, and she will complain that I don't work harder and let her..."
"Come on, come on, stop talking about that nonsense of yours." Guo Shengwen immediately stopped him. "Speak to the key points, speak to the key points."
The old man touched his nose awkwardly and continued: "It seems that they will set off the day after tomorrow, and the direction seems to be towards Taihu Lake. I don't know about the rest."
"It's quite dangerous over there, but the benefits are also high." Guo Shengwen touched his chin.
"This is Taihu Lake?"
Chen Mo pointed to a location on the map.
"Yes."
Guo Shengwen nodded.
At this time, the old boss also came up, looked at the map together, and said, "Did they find a safer path? We fell down there last time."
"Have you been there?" Chen Mo asked.
"Hey, our escort agency almost fell down because of this route. The boss was seriously injured that time and the root of the disease was imprinted. If Brother Chen hadn't helped last time, our escort agency would have really been doomed."
"This is why I said there was chaos in the east. At that time, we took that escort trip just to make a fortune, but unfortunately it failed. Not only were there many robbers there, but I heard that if the relationship there was not strong, even the officers and soldiers would pretend to be bandits and rob.
It becomes more and more like this as you go east." Guo Shengwen said helplessly.
After that, Guo Shengwen and Lao Dantou told Chen Mo what they knew about the situation in the east. It can be said that they knew everything.
.....
The next morning after getting drunk, Chen Mo carried a small baggage and the wrapped broken blade on his back. The three Guo brothers and sisters, Qu Buping and Xiao Yanyu, who was still smiling brightly today, accompanied Chen Mo out of the East City.
Door.
Several people walked two miles out of the city gate and stopped at a big stone.
"Okay, let's send it here." Chen Mo distanced himself from everyone.
"Brother Chen, I don't know if there will be a chance to call you Brother Chen again in the future." Guo Jiaqi smiled. He had known this boy who was younger than him for less than a month. He knew a lot and learned a lot. He knew
, it may be a long time before we see Chen Mo again, or we may never see him again.
"There will be."
"Next time, next time I meet you, I will have a fight with you. Although I still won't be able to beat you, at least I will not be carried down." Guo Jiaqi waved and tied a sandbag to himself.
arm.
Chen Mo nodded.
"Mr. Chen, thank you for the prescription." Guo Jiayue was a little reluctant and didn't know what to say.
"It's still what my master said."
"You are very busy." Guo Jiayue said with a smile. "But I am not busy. I am here to save more people."
"Um."
"Mr. Chen, let's have a drink together again if we have a chance." Qu Buping looked at this young man who brought too many things to the Guo family and the escort agency with an elegant smile. He was like a piece of ice, but not cold.
"good."
"Brother Chen Mo, remember to come back and see me. I will bring out the best wine that daddy has hidden for me." Guo Jiaxing said with a sweet voice.
Chen Mo smiled and said nothing.
Chen Mo looked at Xiao Yanyu who was standing next to Sun Jiayue. She had a bright smile from beginning to end, without any trace of sadness.
Chen Mo looked at her and couldn't help but recall the days after they came out of the mountains. Although they were painful, they felt at ease.
Xiao Yanyu didn't have anything to say goodbye to Chen Mo, he just looked at Chen Mo with a smile, as if he had a thousand words left unsaid.
The two looked at each other for a while, then Chen Mo took the initiative and said: "Little girl, live well, I'm leaving."
After saying that, Chen Mo nodded to everyone again and turned around.
"Brother Chen, take care!"
"Mr. Chen, take care!"
"Mr. Chen, take care!"
"Brother Chen Mo, take care!"
Different mouths and different voices.
Chen Mo didn't look back, and stepped forward step by step. He just waved his hand, as if to say: Go back.
When Chen Mo turned around, Xiao Yanyu's smiling eyes were already filled with tears, like a waterfall, and they were out of control.
Starting from today, she worked hard to put on the smile on her face. She didn't want Chen Mo to see her sad, so she wanted to leave her smile to Chen Mo.
She knew, she had known for a long time that Chen Mo would leave alone. Some time ago, she was angry with her because she didn't want to be too sad when we were separated. Although she was young, she could understand a lot of things. That time Chen Mo took her to see every place in Yangcheng.
She knew that this was a place where he wanted to fulfill his previous agreement. He taught a lot to the Guo family, and partly for his own reasons, he asked the Guo family to take good care of her. She knew it, she knew it all.
Just looking at Chen Mo's back getting further and further away, her tears kept flowing down. She cried very sadly.
Guo Jiayue knelt down and comforted her, but still did not let her cry go down.
She seemed to want her crying to reach Chen Mo's ears.
Chen Mo heard it, but she still didn't look back and continued to move forward.
Crying and crying, Xiao Yanyu shouted loudly and in a tearful tone: "Chen Mo! You left something behind!"
Chen Mo stopped, but still didn't look back. He stopped just to know what she was going to say.
"You left me behind!"
After saying this, there was even louder crying.
One sentence made Guo Jiayue next to her burst into tears.
With her words blurred and tears in her eyes, she seemed to see Chen Mo turn around, and then slowly raise a hand, the hand that she had once held.
At this moment, Xiao Yanyu ran towards Chen Mo and held his hand tightly.
Looking at Xiao Yanyu who was crying into tears, Chen Mo said lightly: "It's very dangerous."
"You are here." Xiao Yanyu said with a cry.
"Yes, I'm here."
"Yeah yeah."
"Tell them good-bye."
Xiao Yanyu wiped away her tears, smiled again, and shouted loudly to the four people who were still looking at her: "Brother Jiaqi, brother Buping, sister Jiayue, and brother Jiaxing, I have to leave too, go back and take my place."
I say goodbye to everyone."
Xiao Yanyu kept waving to them.
"Let's go."
"Um."
One big and one small, holding hands, facing the rising sun and going away, far away.
