The little boy looked up again and found that the young man in white had disappeared.
Confused, he skipped down the street, ready to go home and report the situation of the bun shop to his father.
…
The figure flew past a few times, and Lu Sheng's clothes fluttered down in the small courtyard behind the bun shop.
After walking around the yard for a few times, he found that the flowers he had planted earlier had withered.
In the yard, he could hear the sound of wind blowing leaves in his ears, but otherwise it was silent.
"died."
A subtle rotten air was inhaled into Lu Sheng's nose. He muttered, his body turned into an afterimage, and after several leaps, he left here.
After trekking all the way, Lu Sheng rode a red-maned horse out of the confines of Yangcheng.
He prefers to travel alone rather than traveling with a group of people.
Driving a horse alone, he carried a sack full of fodder.
At night, he looked at the brilliant night sky. Although he couldn't see it, he liked to look at it like this.
He built a bonfire for himself.
Surrounded by the fire, the snoring horses beside him were lowering their heads and licking the grass on the ground. He seemed to have found the meaning of life.
After waiting quietly for a stick of incense, Lu Sheng took the horse and walked into the deep forest.
Passing through mountain roads and passing through several cities, he got lost several times because of his own pride. Fortunately, with the help of passers-by, he didn't delay long and continued on his way.
Half a month later, he left Qingzhou and entered Xuzhou. In order to avoid the previous mistakes, he spent a few taels of silver to find an old man who was familiar with Xuzhou's road conditions to guide him.
But this time, it was even more time-consuming. The old man needed to sleep at night and eat during the day, which delayed a little more time. It took him two full months to cross the state.
After leaving Xuzhou, he threw ten taels of silver to the old man and sent him away. He entered Liuzhou alone. It was close to the Dawei River and you could take a boat and follow the waterway directly to Liangzhou.
After thinking for a while, Lu Sheng put a long knife on his back and walked steadily into the largest dock in Liuzhou Prefecture.
Thousands of men in burlap jackets carried grain and some cargo on the pier, moving the cargo back and forth to the ships docked on the shore.
The sound of "hum hum hum" kept reaching his ears.
He stretched out his hand and held down a man. Beads of sweat fell from the man's red cheeks. The clothes on his back were soaked and sticky and stuck to his back. He suddenly felt itchy. At this moment, he was being held down by a stranger.
The man was angry, with a look of annoyance on his face. He gritted his teeth, put down the heavy sack on his shoulders, turned around, and the anger on his face dissipated instantly.
He raised his head in awe and looked at the tall man in front of him. This man exuded an extraordinary temperament. With his many years of experience, he was a man who was not easy to mess with.
"Master, what are your orders?"
"I want to rent a boat and go to Liangzhou."
With a faint smile, Lu Sheng put down his palm.
Hearing this, the man's eyes lit up and he smiled flatteringly:
"Hahaha, uncle, you have found the right person! Please come with me, uncle."
After saying that, the man kicked the sack on the ground with disdain. Now that he had roped in a customer, he could save himself from carrying sacks for several days.
Stretching out his hand, the man turned back every step of the way, fearing that Lu Sheng would be abducted by others, but he found that he was overthinking it.
"Old Li! You are so lucky today!"
A man carrying a sack glanced at the man behind Lao Li with envy.
On their dock, if they can win over a customer for those ship bosses, they can get a lot of rewards, and each reward is enough for them to live happily for a few days.
"Hey, that's not the case! I, Lao Li, will be blessed if I can meet this man! Damn it, I wish you all a fortune!"
Turning his head and spitting into the water under the board, Lao Li said with a red face.
The men nearby laughed, each carrying their goods, and moved forward slowly.
Not long after, I walked up to the top and passed through the crowd. There was a row of brown and simple huts in front of me.
There are rows of people in different clothes and different classes. There are many people lining up in every wooden house.
"Uncle, please come with me."
Lao Li smiled and continued walking forward.
Lu Sheng walked side by side with him with a calm expression.
Suddenly, a little girl bumped into Lu Sheng's thigh in the crowded crowd.
The flattering smile of Lao Li next to him immediately changed. He grabbed the little girl with his thick arms and yelled:
"Little bastard! Don't you have fucking eyesight?! You dare to contradict this uncle, don't you want to live?!"
The little girl's greasy braids were pulled up tightly by Lao Li.
Her sallow little face twisted in fear, her bright little eyes flashed a few times, the pain made her eyes red, and tears fell down "tick-tock-tock".
There was a woman with unkempt hair and an old basket, which contained a moldy bun. She looked like she had just gotten off the boat.
His narrow eyes searched eagerly among the crowd, and finally his eyes fell on the crying little girl.
She squeezed through the crowd, ran over, knelt in front of Lao Li, and apologized:
"Sir! My little girl, please consider that she is still young and spare her! I will apologize to you on her behalf!"
After saying that, the woman pressed her dark palms to the ground and kowtowed.
"You stinky bitch, get out of here!"
Lao Li kicked the woman away and cursed. The passers-by nearby all secretly avoided the woman and walked away.
"Uncle! I need to protect her legs and feet so that this little baby will have a long memory!"
Squeezing the little girl's neck, Old Li smiled cruelly.
From this man's temperament and figure, he could infer that he was definitely a martial arts expert, perhaps a second-rate or even first-rate master.
There is absolutely no third-rate warrior with such a superb figure as this one.
They have been working on the dock for decades. Except for the innate master, they have never seen anyone else. They have seen more or less the masters in the martial arts from a distance.
Over time, he naturally develops a pair of eyes. He can faintly feel whether he is a warrior or not after a moment of contact.
The warrior masters are all aloof and extremely proud. If you offend them, you will die or be disabled.
"no thanks."
Lu Sheng turned his head slightly.
"Okay! I'll send it to you soon!"
Lao Li chuckled, showing an expression that every man would understand.
"Let them go, don't waste my time, you can't afford the compensation."
Lu Sheng looked calm.
The quiet words reached Lao Li's ears. Fear flashed in his eyes, he covered his ears, knelt down and kowtowed a few times, then hurriedly walked in front, using his big hands to push back the crowd on both sides.
Create a path for Lu Sheng to pass.
"Thank you, brother! You are a good person, a kind person, and you will be rewarded...well"
The little girl behind him yelled at his back. After a while, her mother worriedly covered her daughter's mouth, pushed her to the ground, and bowed several times in Lu Sheng's direction.
Ignoring the voices behind him, Lu Sheng's expression remained calm. He carried a long knife on his back and walked through the path opened by Lao Li in white clothes.
