Si Lingxi felt Lu Zheng's thoughts.
Although she didn't really care about the devil, she didn't reject Lu Zheng's kindness. She just hired Lu Zheng for one night to make him feel her feelings.
So, when Lu Zheng set out the next day, his head was a little swaying.
…
From Lingbei Road to Pingdong Road, Lu Zheng also passed through Sanjiang Road, but Lu Zheng thought about it and still did not summon Dong Yangzi.
After all, Wen Jiong's news may not be accurate. The underground cave back then may not be the secret realm of the Demon Cave today.
So Lu Zheng rode on the clouds and quickly passed through Sanjiang Road, and soon came to Pingdong Road.
Lianzhou, Tianmi County.
Tianmi County is the county closest to Lianzhou Prefecture. It uses an underground mountain spring near the county to irrigate the paddy fields outside the county. The rice produced is sweet and sweet, so it is famous.
Lu Zheng lowered the clouds outside the county town and landed on the official road, preparing to walk to the state capital.
As far as Lu Zheng knew, during this time of searching for demons on Pingdong Road, Qintian Supervisor Huang Ruoxing was in charge of Lianzhou Prefecture, and a deputy governor of the Zhenyi Division was in charge of Yuezhou Prefecture.
In other words, Huang Ruoxing was sitting on top of a cave that was suspected to be a devil's cave.
Lu Zheng said that he was weak and did not dare to fly directly into Lianzhou Mansion. God knows if the devil was watching the situation outside.
even……
Lu Zheng is not even planning to enter the city!
…
"Young Master, autumn is approaching. If you are in such a hurry, you may not be able to make it in time!"
Lu Zheng was walking on the road when an ox-cart rolled over from behind, and an old voice rang in Lu Zheng's ears.
Lu Zheng turned around and saw that the back of the old ox cart was covered with dry firewood and hay. There was an old man sitting in front of the cart, wearing a straw hat and a sweat towel. He was holding the reins in one hand and holding a thin wooden pole in the other.
The old man had dark skin, wrinkles on his face, and some chapped lips. He looked at himself with a little doubt in his eyes, and his tone was a little urging.
"Oh, thank you, father-in-law. I'm not here to take the Qiu Wei exam." Lu Zhenggong handed over his hand.
"Isn't this the way to Lianzhou Mansion?"
"Yes." Lu Zheng nodded, "I'm going to Lianzhou, but not Tongzhou."
Tongzhou is the capital of Pingdong Daochang. This autumn examination will be held in Tongzhou.
"It turns out I didn't go to rush for the exam." The old man nodded, "What a coincidence, the old man also went to Lianzhou to sell firewood. There are still dozens of miles to go to the state capital. If the young master doesn't dislike the old man's crude ox cart, he will come up and ride on it. It’s not a stretch of the journey.”
"Thank you very much!"
Lu Zheng was not polite, walked a few steps quickly to the side of the bullock cart, jumped slightly, and sat next to the old man.
The old man looked stunned and said, "Young Master is light and strong. This is because he has practiced."
"Hehe, I have practiced a little bit of boxing, otherwise I wouldn't dare to go out alone." Lu Zheng said with a smile.
The old man then looked Lu Zheng up and down, "Young Master is from Lianzhou?"
"No, I'm going to Lianzhou Mansion to visit an elder." Lu Zheng shook his head, and then added, "By the way, I'll stay here for two days."
Lu Zheng realized that his things were all packed in a gourd. He was dressed relaxedly, without a package or a backpack. He looked a little strange, so he hurriedly made up for it, lest the old man misunderstood him as a monster in the mountains.
"Oh, that's it."
The old man nodded, and then Lu Zheng also discovered that there was nothing in the old man's ox cart except firewood and hay.
Lu Zheng blinked. He had also seen hawkers who went into the city to sell firewood and charcoal. They usually brought food and water bags. If they were going to spend a night in the city, they would also bring a simple bedding with them.
This old man drove to Lianzhou to sell firewood. It was understandable. After all, Lianzhou had a large population and the price of firewood was higher than that in Tianmi County.
It's just that he has traveled dozens of miles and may not be able to make it back in the evening. He may have to spend a night in the city. He didn't bring anything with him. How can he go to the city to eat and stay in a hotel?
Although there are street stalls and street shops for the poor in the city, the additional cost is still much higher than dealing with it yourself.
Could it be...
No way……
I have been very careful, or did I encounter an accident as soon as I landed?
Lu Zheng was speechless. Fortunately, he didn't carry any luggage. Although he didn't know if the old man saw his roots, but he probably didn't know that he had seen something wrong with him.
Lu Zheng looked around unintentionally, then glanced at the old man.
I can't see anything unusual, I can't sense the slightest breath, he must be a master.
It should be noted here that after a practitioner has advanced in cultivation, if he collects his breath and pretends to be a mortal, unless his cultivation is too different, it is normal for him to not be able to sense it without casting a spell.
For example, the two monks from Brahma Temple that day were not afraid at all even though they could not sense the auras of Lu Zheng and Si Lingxi.
Therefore, the real strength of the old man beside Lu Zheng is probably between one thousand and ten thousand years.
Lu Zheng: ╮(╯▽╰)╭
I originally wanted to have a chat with this old man, such as asking his family, how the business is, how much a load of firewood can be sold, and so on.
I don’t dare to do it now. After all, this old man is probably not a real online ride-hailing driver.
"This firewood of yours is indeed the firewood from the mountains of Tianmi County. It has a sweet fragrance. When brought to Lianzhou Mansion, it is probably more expensive than ordinary firewood." Lu Zheng said casually.
After all, someone kindly let me get on the bus, so I couldn't just say nothing. Wouldn't it be more embarrassing to be silent all the way?
"Yes!" The old man nodded repeatedly and smiled a few folds. "Ten kilograms of firewood can be sold for three copper coins. The old man's cart of firewood can be sold for more than three hundred yuan, which can be exchanged for several cages of geese to raise at home. On."
Lu Zheng couldn't help being surprised, but also couldn't help but suspect that his suspicion was wrong. He just said it casually, but he didn't expect the old man to figure it out clearly for him.
Ordinary firewood, in Tonglin County, sells for one copper coin for ten kilograms, and it is 50% more in the state capital. It is normal for him to take this cart of fragrant firewood to the state capital and sell it to a wealthy family, and the price will double.
"The goose is great! The goose can look after the house, even better than the dog!" Lu Zheng said.
"I didn't expect the young master to know about our farm." The old man said with a smile, "The goose is very helpful. With the goose looking after the house, no thieves dare to come in!"
Lu Zheng nodded. Of course he knew. He often saw those short videos of geese chasing dogs and people. They were awe-inspiring.
"And the geese will recognize their home after being raised for a long time. If they are released during the day, they will go to the river and come back by themselves when they are full. It is very easy to raise."
The old man talked to Lu Zheng about the details of raising geese again, and he spoke clearly and clearly.
Lu Zheng echoed from time to time, selectively talking about the farm affairs he knew, and actually chatted with the old man.
Before I knew it, I had walked dozens of miles, and soon I had walked nearly half the distance.
Then, just as they were passing by a dense forest, three masked men suddenly popped out.
"Stop whoever comes, stop for me, and leave the money to buy the way!"
Thanks to Fellow Taoist Little Tiger from the Demon Realm and Fellow 08a for the hundred rewards, and thanks to fellow Taoist Fellows Wandering for the two, three, and three rewards as you can’t rely on water for paddling.
