Chapter 768 Who is protecting you?

As for Jiang Tongxiang, I know even less about him.

After the team caught up with him, they passed him and cleared a path for him, even removing the stones and branches on the road to make it easier for Jiang Tongxiang to get on with his way.

Jiang Tongxiang thought they were just passing by.

Thinking back to the last time he went to purchase goods, he encountered many dangers on the way and had to change his route halfway. Fortunately, there was an official following him closely, otherwise he would have definitely gone astray.

When they passed by for the second time, Jiang Tongxiang happened to be sleeping in the carriage and the driver did not notice them. There were so many people passing by that he could not remember them all.

And just like that, I missed it for the second time.

Time just flies by.

Compared with the last time he purchased goods, Jiang Tongxiang came back half a month earlier this time.

Before the end of the year, he returned home with a carload of goods.

This time it went very smoothly, and Jiang Tongxiang bought three times more goods than last time.

Not only did he spend all his own money, but he also spent all the money he borrowed from his family before leaving.

But the good thing is that these goods are at least enough for him to get married.

Saves you from making another trip.

"Brother, how come you came back so quickly this time? Are you familiar with the road?" Jiang Fubao teased.

When she heard the servant say that her second brother had returned, she hurried home.

The brother and sister were chatting in the backyard.

"That's not the case. I didn't take the same route as last time. This time I changed the route and it was smooth all the way. If I had known, I would have taken this route last time. You really don't know how hard it was for me last time. I..." Jiang Tongxiang almost let the cat out of the bag.

He quickly shut his mouth and pretended to be moving the goods, but in fact he was sweating profusely, fearing that his sister would find out.

"What do you mean, the journey was difficult? Brother, what happened to you? Speak." Jiang Fubao listened carefully. She grabbed her second brother's sleeve and asked.

"Nothing, it's just that the road is long and difficult to walk, all uphill. This time the road we took was shorter and flatter and easier to walk on."

Jiang Tongxiang immediately made up an excuse.

But he couldn't fool Jiang Fubao.

"Brother, if you don't tell me, I will tell grandma exactly what you said just now. Grandma will ask you, and grandpa will be here by then. If you lie, grandpa will find out immediately. You decide, whether to tell me or tell my family." Jiang Fubao narrowed his eyes and threatened.

If I tell my grandmother about this, the grocery store will no longer be able to run.

Jiang Tongxiang knows this truth very well.

Especially grandpa, he is the smartest person in the family, with a pair of eyes like an eagle that can see through all lies.

No matter how flawless your clothes are, they will be completely ruined in front of him.

Jiang Tongxiang can't win the fight.

Since his sister said so, he had no choice but to surrender.

Then he honestly told him everything that happened during his last purchase.

"The last time I went to buy supplies, I encountered many setbacks along the way. I almost lost my life. Strangely, there was always a group of people who happened to pass by and saved me. Unfortunately, they were masked, so I didn't see the face of my savior.

So, this time your brother learned his lesson and changed the route. It was smooth as expected. I didn't encounter any dead branches or leaves along the way. The road was flat and there was not a single piece of gravel. It was surprisingly smooth.

That's why I sighed just now. If I had known I would have taken this route last time, I wouldn't have encountered those bad things. Fubao, please don't tell grandma. If she knew, the whole family would know. Dad would definitely be worried and cry, and mom would not allow me to open a shop again. Brother, please."

Jiang Tongxiang clasped his hands together into a bun shape and begged Jiang Fubao repeatedly.

He was much tanned by the sun and had a bit of a sour smell on his body. He looked like a rather handsome beggar.

Jiang Fubao resisted the urge to give him a copper coin and asked, "Don't worry, I won't tell you, but you have to answer me carefully. Do you remember any characteristics of them? For example, what kind of material were their clothes made of, what style of shoes they wore, or if they spoke to you, what was their accent? Do they have any moles or spots on their faces?"

Jiang Fubao always felt that something was wrong.

You know, my second brother always only reports good news and never worries. Even he tells me something scary, so I'm afraid the real situation is a hundred times more dangerous.

I'm afraid his life is threatened every time.

However, when something happened, he happened to meet the group of people who saved his life, and they saved his life again and again.

Jiang Fubao didn't believe that this group of people didn't know his second brother.

I guess he is an acquaintance, not just passing by, and he came here to protect my second brother along the way.

That......

Who could these people be?

Jiang Fubao was guessing wildly in his heart, but unfortunately his second brother didn't see their faces.

She could only ask indirectly about their clothing and characteristics.

"Let me think about it, don't be in a hurry." It had been a long time since then, and Jiang Tongxiang could hardly remember it.

He squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands, frowning in pain, and baring his teeth. He squatted for a long time as if he was constipated.

Jiang Fubao did not disturb him and just stood there quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Tongxiang finally remembered.

"I remember, I remember, Fubao, I finally remember, let me tell you, one of the men at the head had a black jade pendant hanging around his waist, I always felt it looked familiar, I must have seen it before, but I can't remember where, but I am sure, I must have seen it, and there was a man in that group who had a bean-sized black mole on his right eyebrow.

It was very obvious, and I could see him from a distance. He had red eyes, and like the others, he had a black scarf covering his face, so I couldn't see the rest of his face clearly. They all wore the same clothes, coarse cloth, and rode ordinary horses, the kind sold on the street. Their shoes were also the same, black cloth shoes. I really can't remember anything else, it's been too long."

Jiang Tongxiang was so worried that his eyelids had a wrinkle and he now had triple eyelids.

"Okay, I get it, second brother. Let's not talk about this for now. Go wash up quickly. I won't tell anyone else about this. But if you go to buy goods in the future, I won't let you go alone. I'll go to Feng's Escort Agency some other day. I'd rather spend money to hire someone to protect you. Even if you earn less money, you'll always be safe.

Don't make money but lose your life in the end, that would be a big loss. Life is more important than anything else. If you lose your life, you lose everything, understand? This incident also reminded me that I didn't think everything through, so you can't be so reckless in the future. Next time you go to buy goods, I will let the escort follow you, otherwise I will not be able to rest assured. "

Jiang Fubao patted his second brother's shoulder and said in a serious tone.

"Okay, I get it. Actually, I was a little scared last time too. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you guys anymore. I almost peed my pants. You really don't know. The knife almost hit my neck. Oh, I was sweating profusely at that time. My legs were weak."
