"Another life!"
Nannan's eyes lit up, she looked at herself, then thought for a while, and took out a string of gold and hung it around her neck.
Then, she followed Li Nianfan with an innocent look on her face, shaking the golden bell in her hand from time to time, making a crisp sound, as if she didn't know the dangers of the world.
Li Nianfan looked at him speechlessly. Here it comes again, the moment of testing human nature has come again.
His thoughts couldn't help but drift a little. This scene was so much like a test from the river god.
Brave adventurer, did you drop this silver axe or this golden axe?
"Tut, tut, tut."
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer.
Nannan and Li Nianfan were both excited, with a sense of anticipation like fishing and waiting for the fish to bite.
Finally, a group of people slowly walked out of the woods.
It was a small caravan, with not much cargo. There were only two large carriages, consisting of twelve people, dressed simply. The leader was a young man, sitting on the cargo of a carriage, and his behavior seemed a bit frivolous.
Some of the others were riding horses, and some were guarding on both sides of the cargo, holding broadswords or long swords in their hands, giving the feeling of being in a martial arts drama.
Li Nianfan had no pressure at all, so he could look at the other party at will, just like watching a TV series.
"Stop!"
The caravan naturally discovered Li Nianfan and Nannan, and the young man sitting in the carriage immediately raised his hand and asked the caravan to stop.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Nannan seemed to be a little frightened, her little body trembled slightly, and a piece of gold coins fell from her body "accidentally", which was dazzling.
The whole caravan stared with eyes wide open, breathing rapidly, and fell into silence.
"Sorry, there is too much money." Nannan said apologetically, "Can you help me pick it up?"
"Ahem, no... no problem."
The young man in the carriage coughed lightly to cover up his embarrassment, then jumped off the carriage and bent down to pick up the gold coins on the ground.
Only after picking up the coins did he realize that the gold coins were heavier than he had imagined. When he finished picking them up, his eyes were red. Damn, I have never earned so much gold in my life. I never thought that the time when I was richest was when I was helping others pick up gold.
"Hey."
The young man returned the gold coins to Nannan with great difficulty, feeling very reluctant.
Oh, it was actually returned.
Li Nianfan looked at the young man with a new respect, and Nannan rolled her eyes. He was very good to be able to withstand the first test. So, she would just scare him later.
Li Nianfan bowed and said with a smile, "Thank you, brother."
"Haha, in the wilderness, you two are wearing gold and silver, aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
The young man's tone was sour. As he got closer, the gold dazzled his eyes. He couldn't help swallowing his saliva and continued, "It's a good thing that you met a chivalrous man like me, otherwise, you wouldn't be alive!"
Li Nianfan smiled bitterly and said, "I'm sorry, my sister is ignorant and likes to show off with gold."
The corner of the young man's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but glance at the purple gold gourd on Li Nianfan's waist.
Damn, is it just your sister who is ignorant?
Just look at your purple gold gourd, it's shining, and it must be worth a lot of money. Just hanging it on your waist, you are not much better than your sister!
On the side, Nannan suddenly said, "Hey, my brother and I were originally from a wealthy family, but we encountered a sudden change. We can only flee here with our wealth. We are helpless. Even if we die in this desolate mountain, I am afraid no one will know."
Her words are no longer a hint. Translated, it means that my brother and I have plenty of money, but no one to rely on. You can rob us without any worries.
The young man couldn't help but look at the two of them and complained in his heart.
They are still so arrogant even after fleeing. These two people are indeed from wealthy families and have never experienced the beatings of society!
They don't think before they speak.
The young man shook his head and asked, "Where are you two going?"
Li Nianfan smiled and said, "Gao Laozhuang."
"You mean Gaojiazhuang."
The young man's eyes rolled and he smiled, "It's still some distance from here, and the road is dangerous. If it's just the two of you, it would be difficult to get there. My caravan happens to be going the same way, so I can give you a ride."
Li Nianfan said directly, "Then you'll have to help, Brother Lao."
"But I'm a valet, so let's be fair, hehe, okay..."
As he spoke, he stretched out his fingers and rubbed them in front of him.
Li Nianfan smiled, "How much?"
The young man thought for a moment and held up three fingers, "Three gold coins."
"There are many dangers along the way. You two can sit in the caravan and avoid walking. The key is that we also need to provide you with food. This price is not expensive, right?"
The young man seemed a little guilty.
"Not expensive."
Li Nianfan shook his head, "Nannan, give me the money."
"Brother, please, please!" The young man suddenly became extremely enthusiastic, smiling, "My younger brother Ye Huaian, if you have any instructions, just ask. If it is beyond the scope of service, just add money." At
this moment, Li Nianfan and his sister suddenly became big fat sheep in his eyes. Not only are they rich, but they also know how to spend money.
Three gold coins, if I meet such big customers every day, why would I walk?
Li Nianfan nodded, "Okay, my name is Li Nianfan."
There was no carriage in the caravan, so Li Nianfan and his daughter sat in a freight truck at the back, which was quite a different experience, like a convertible.
Nannan felt a little disappointed, and felt that her performance rights were taken away. She said angrily: "Brother, do you think that Ye Huaian is pretending, or is he going to take us to a secluded place to rob again?"
"Okay, there are no good people in this world? It's not bad to meet a person with principles."
Li Nianfan smiled, stretched his waist, and lay on his back on the cargo. His body swayed slightly with the bumps of the carriage. Looking at the passing trees and the blue sky, his mind was empty.
After walking for so many days, it's time to relax my feet.
He asked casually, "By the way, Nannan, can you tell what level of cultivation these people are at?"
Nannan curled her lips, "The highest one is only at the peak of Qi training, not even at the foundation building stage."
Li Nianfan laughed dumbly. The Qi training stage can only be regarded as the entry level of cultivation, no wonder they are active in the secular world.
On the other side,
Ye Huaian and others also gathered together, and from time to time they looked at Li Nianfan with complicated eyes.
A fat man couldn't help but said, "God is so unfair, how could these two brothers and sisters be so rich?"
"Yeah, they don't seem to be much smarter than us brothers, they are not worthy of their status."
"Well, they have the blessing of their ancestors, so we can't envy them." Ye Huaian weighed the three gold coins in his hand, put them in his mouth and bit them hard, and said with a smile, "We are not bad either, we got three gold coins just by going the way!"
"Brother Huaian, three gold coins are too little, it's just a drop in the bucket for them!" A fat man couldn't help but whispered, "How about we do something big? At least ten gold coins!"
That gold alone is worth much more than the goods they are transporting.
Ye Huaian slapped the fat man on the head, "Fuck you! We are dartsmen, not robbers. These three gold coins are enough for us to make three trips!"
He couldn't help but look at Li Nianfan behind him, "But that brother and sister are really careless. They can even sleep like this?"
The caravan moved forward slowly.
Unknowingly, half an hour passed, and Li Nianfan woke up from a half-asleep state.
Ye Huaian saw it and immediately handed over a water bottle enthusiastically, saying with a smile: "Boss, you are awake, do you need some water?"
The address has become boss.
Li Nianfan smiled and patted the gourd on his waist, "No, I brought my own."
"Boss, are you a wine lover? I wonder how it compares to the fine wine from Qingfenglou?"
Ye Huaian's eyes lit up immediately and he became a salesman, "To be honest, I have traveled all over the country for so many years, and among all the wines, I think the fine wine from Qingfenglou is the most delicious, but it's a pity that it's very expensive. Do you want to try it? I can sell you some."
"Of course, it can't be compared with the wine I brewed myself, but... no." Li Nianfan smiled and shook his head to refuse.
Although this guy loves money, he also makes money in a proper way and has a good character.
However, he didn't have the idea of inviting Ye Huaian to drink for the time being.
First of all, they were just passing by each other, and he had no intention of making close friends. Secondly, he was confident in the delicious food he made. It would be funny if these people, after withstanding the temptation of money, could not resist the temptation of delicious food and tried to snatch wine or force him to brew wine for them.
This was entirely possible.
Li Nianfan was naturally not afraid of the other party, but he also wanted to reduce unnecessary troubles. It was not good to turn against each other. He did not have the bad taste of Nannan, who liked to test human nature.
If possible, he would treat them to a drink when they parted.
Ye Huaian was a little disappointed that the business was not done, "Forget it then."
Then, the two chatted.
Ye Huaian has traveled a lot and has a wide range of knowledge. He often knows interesting things everywhere, and he is very talkative and a bit humorous.
Since crossing over, Li Nianfan has come into contact with two kinds of people. One is a pure mortal, and the other is a cultivator with a sect. They can be said to be well-known and powerful people. However, he has never come into contact with the casual cultivators in the middle. Now, listening to Ye Huaian's narration, he feels a little touched.
Most of these cultivators have average qualifications and lack resources. They either cultivate immortals by chance or leave the sect for various reasons. They often do averagely. Although they earn more money than ordinary people, they spend more on cultivation, which consumes a lot of money. Needless to say, the risk factor is naturally high.
It's not easy for them.
Ye Huaian asked curiously, "Boss, why did you want to go to Gao Laozhuang?"
Li Nianfan said casually, "
Just because I admired it." "Have you also read "Journey to the West"?"
Ye Huaian said, "Speaking of which, Gaojiazhuang has become very famous. People say it is Gao Laozhuang, but I don't know if it is true or not."
