"The Dou Zi Jue jug leaked from the hands of Li Wanquan, the owner of the 'Li Family Silver Jewelry' in Zhengyun Ancient City. Follow this clue to trace it..."
"The danger level of the mission at the edge of the forest has become higher. After the sect confirmed it, the reward for you has been increased to 150,000. You will be called in the next two days. Pay attention to whether you have received the payment..."
"Anyway, if there is an accident in the mission and there are certain risks, please contact the old man or me or the military immediately. Hey, if you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood, right?"
The high-speed train was speeding by. Lou Cheng half-closed his eyes and recalled his master's instructions. He had just received a text message and the mission reward had arrived. His savings had risen from a low of more than 840,000 to more than 991,000.
——From the end of June to now, he has spent a lot of money. He stayed in a five-star hotel for more than ten days, bought a couple's ring (women's model), his own martial arts training expenses increased, and he only had a small amount of food and drink. During this period, although the Yan family provided He replenished the red envelopes during the meeting, but the account number was still declining rapidly. Considering the cost of traveling to and from the United States for a long time, he felt financial pressure again after a long time and was full of the urge to make money.
The sect's generous reward of 150,000 yuan was like a timely rain that moistened his wallet just right.
"The station ahead is Jishun, and the stop time is short. Passengers getting off the train are asked to wait at the door early..."
At this time, the sound of a broadcast made Lou Cheng, who was too lazy to even play with his mobile phone, stand up. He took off the backpack on the luggage rack with one hand, passed the strange passengers next to him, and entered the corridor. It was not early. Not too late, we lined up at the door.
Zhengyun Ancient City is affiliated to Jishun City and has become a relatively famous tourist destination in recent years. It is surrounded by high mountains and has relatively inconvenient transportation. There is no railway yet. It has retained its antique charm. To get there, you have to go first. You can transfer to buses from nearby Jishun and other places, or hire a private car.
Lou Cheng didn't waste any energy. After leaving the high-speed rail station, he went straight to the Passenger Transport Center opposite and bought the long-distance bus with the nearest departure time.
Less than twenty minutes later, he checked in and got on the bus. Seeing that everyone didn't take their seat numbers and everyone was doing their own thing, he habitually found a seat in the middle and back, leaving the window seat free.
After sitting down, he turned his head and saw the empty seat next to him. Lou Cheng was startled, and his whole body seemed to settle down a bit.
He moved his body and sat by the window, pulling the curtain to block the dazzling sunlight and avoid direct exposure.
Leaning back and leaning against the back of the chair, Lou Cheng closed his eyes, his thoughts messy and scattered.
Through the sound of footsteps and the slight vibration of the vehicle, he instinctively "heard" that there were more and more passengers.
Suddenly, someone stopped next to him. Just as he was about to speak, he saw him opening his eyes and turning his head to look.
"Hello, this classmate, can you change seats?" A tall, thin boy with sparse eyebrows said with a smile. He pointed at himself and the beautiful and slender girl beside him, "I want to sit with my girlfriend. Together, can you help me?"
Lou Cheng took a deep look at them, pushed up the dull black-rimmed glasses on his face, and said with a slight smile:
"Okay, where is your location?"
"Thank you, thank you." The boys and girls were overjoyed. They hurriedly showed their gratitude and pointed to a seat in the second-to-last row. "That's the only place left. I'm so sorry."
"It's nothing, I'm alone anyway..." Lou Cheng smiled, took his bag with one hand, and walked into the aisle.
The young couple didn't hear the emotion in his words, they just put their hands together and kept saying thank you.
Taking two steps forward, Lou Cheng saw the empty seat, as well as the passenger by the window and his exaggerated arms inflated with black short-sleeved shirts.
No wonder the young couple asked me to change seats instead of him... Lou Cheng subconsciously understood.
At this moment, the girl in the row behind the man in the black T-shirt made a mistake. The mineral water bottle that had just unscrewed the cap shook and threw a "splash" forward.
Since the last row was higher than the front, this "splash" went straight to the neck and back of the head of the strong man in the black T-shirt.
However, the moment the girl missed her, the man in the black T-shirt had already moved to the side, narrowly avoiding it by coincidence, so that the "splash" only wet the place where he was originally sitting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The girl in T-shirt, shorts and sandals held the mineral water steady and stood up in panic and fear to apologize.
The arms of the man in the black T-shirt can be used as her thighs!
After looking at the girl's beautiful face and figure, the man in the black T-shirt smiled generously and said, "Nothing, can you give me a tissue to wipe it with?"
"Okay, okay." The girl took out a stack of log tissue from her bag and handed it to the other person.
Lou Cheng stood aside and quietly watched this episode that others didn't care much about, and nodded thoughtfully:
He responds to any stimulation and keeps his energy and blood restrained. This is a Dan realm warrior...
As for the specific grade, there is no way to judge from the outside.
After wiping the place, the man in the black T-shirt opened up the topic. Half-twisting his body, he chatted with the missing girl and her companions about Zhengyun Ancient City. It could be seen that he had been to many places and had a lot of experience.
The two girls listened with great interest and sometimes smiled coquettishly.
During this process, Lou Cheng put his backpack on the luggage rack and sat down next to the man in the black T-shirt without haste, attracting a casual and habitual glance from him.
Seeing that Lou Cheng was about 1.76 meters tall, wearing a pair of nerdy black-framed glasses, and was not particularly strong, with only clear lines on his face, the man in the black T-shirt withdrew his gaze and continued talking to the two girls in the back row.
Chatting.
Lou Cheng also took the opportunity to take a look at him and found that his skin was quite dark, with a frosty look at the corners of his eyes and mouth, and his short, thick and thick eyebrows, which was impressive.
Without looking any further, Lou Cheng closed his eyes again and lay down to rest, with some doubts emerging in his mind:
What a coincidence, there is also a Dan realm here who has arrived in Zhengyun Ancient City...
However, Danjing is also a human being and can also travel. Going to Zhengyun Ancient City is not surprising in itself...
Fifty minutes later, a man and two women were chatting more and more familiarly, and Lou Cheng was looking at his cell phone while sleeping. Under the scorching sun, the bus arrived at the entrance of Zhengyun Ancient City.
There are still two sections of old city walls here, many of which have local characteristics. After getting off the car, Lou Cheng found a place, took out his mobile phone, and took a few pictures from different angles.
Just when he was about to switch pages and send pictures, the two girls sitting in the back row came closer and said with pleading smiles: "Handsome guy, handsome guy, can you take a picture for us? Take a picture of the two of us first, and then take a picture of us."
Three."
Among them, the girl wearing an ankle-length cotton skirt pointed at the man in the black T-shirt.
"Okay." Lou Cheng smiled calmly and agreed.
This is just a piece of cake.
Taking the digital camera from the girl in shorts and sandals, he studied it for a while, took two steps back, and waited for the girl to strike a pose.
Click, click, click, Lou Cheng clicked several times, and after a lot of work, he successfully completed the photo of the two girls and the photo of them and the man in the black T-shirt.
"Thank you!" the two girls shouted in unison, took back the digital cameras, lowered their heads, admired the previous photo, and called the man in the black T-shirt over.
Lou Cheng didn't stop and walked towards the entrance of the ancient city. As he walked, he sent the scenery he just took to Yan Zheke:
"We arrived at Zhengyun. The environment is not bad."
Immediately afterwards, he said with a "snickering" expression:
"Someone just asked me to take pictures of them. I really don't know the heights of the world, and I'm asking for death! Can you see what I took?"
After sending it, he searched for the location of "Li Family Silver Jewelry", went straight, turned left at the third intersection, and saw the contemporary signboard.
Lou Cheng did not enter the store immediately, but looked around for a while, entered the water bar opposite, which was arranged like a tea shop, ordered a cup of Yuanyang with ice, sat near the door, and seemed to casually observe "Li Family Silver Jewelry" .
He knows people, knows faces, but doesn't know the heart. From what Li Wanquan has never met so far, no matter what he asks, he doesn't dare to completely believe that the other person is telling the truth. He has not concealed anything, and has not taken advantage of the opportunity to bring in private goods. However, others have not committed any crime. , on the premise that he has not done anything bad, he has a bottom line in his heart. He will not use the word "soldier" to scare innocent people or break their spirits. He can only ask more, prepare more, and do more homework.
After watching it for a while and taking a sip of iced mandarin duck, Lou Cheng picked up his phone and unlocked the screen to see if there was a reply and what the reply was.
The light came on, and the dialog box quietly displayed the photos and messages he had just sent, and nothing else.
Lou Cheng was silent for a moment, then he remembered the time difference and felt inexplicably empty. He shook his head and laughed in relief and self-mockery.
Ten minutes later, the two girls in the back row wandered over, and the man in the black T-shirt was no longer with them.
Lou Cheng picked up his phone again out of habit and looked at it. Then, he slowly stood up, went to the cashier to pay, and asked in a low voice:
"I think the silver jewelry store opposite is very good. How is their boss like?"
The cashier girl glanced at him warily, and seeing that his attitude was very sincere, she answered vaguely:
"Quite stingy, quite shameless..."
The more she spoke, the softer she became. If Lou Cheng hadn't had excellent hearing, he wouldn't have been able to hear the last two words clearly.
In this way, he asked around, and with half of the people not answering and the other half kindly reminding him, he initially sketched out the image of Li Wanquan in his mind. Then he walked into the silver jewelry store and saw the man with the distinctive triangular eyes. Half a hundred bosses.
"What are you buying?" Seeing that Lou Cheng ignored the clerk and walked towards him, Li Wanquan greeted him lazily.
Lou Cheng smiled, took out his mobile phone, clicked on the photo of the Dou Zi Jue jug, stretched it out to the other person's eyes, and said straight to the point:
"I heard that this thing came from your place?"
"That's right." Li Wanquan perked up and said with bright eyes, "You want to buy it? There are more!"
"Anything else?" Lou Cheng asked in surprise.
Li Wanquan didn't answer. He trotted to another counter and pulled out a small box, which contained several purple-gold wine bottles with the word "dou" engraved on them.
"It's not this, no, I don't have that feeling, understand, that feeling..." Lou Cheng said carefully without revealing too much.
Li Wanquan said with a dark expression: "My father did it, and I did it..."
"Is your father still doing it?" Lou Cheng asked.
"He passed away ten years ago. He only made three such wine flasks. I was first defrauded of dozens of yuan and failed to sell at a high price..." Li Wanquan curled his lips and said.
"Three?" Lou Cheng's heart moved and he asked in astonishment.
It turns out that it’s not just the one in my master’s hand!
Doesn’t this mean that others may also buy it, which means that the news may be leaked at any time?
Hearing his question, Li Wanquan chuckled:
"Do you still want to ask my father how he made this wine flask?"
Lou Cheng narrowed his eyes slightly and stared at him without answering.
"You foreigners are so dishonest. Two groups of people came to ask me some time ago!" Li Wanquan said in a nonchalant manner, and gestured with his hands as if counting money.
