The grass here is growing really well, which means there's a water source nearby. Horses just love to eat this kind of grass.
Father Sang saw the grass in front of him and his eyes became panicked. This... couldn't go any closer. They had to take a detour.
"Stop, stop now." Old Man Sang shouted anxiously.
When everyone heard that it was the village chief who asked them to stop, they all stopped obediently.
What happened up ahead? Why did the village chief suddenly ask them to stop? Are they going to rest here?
In order to verify his guess, Father Sang went under the carriage, took out a branch, and pushed away the grass.
The grass was damp, and as we walked further, we could see a shallow layer of water. This was a swamp, very dangerous. It could kill you in an instant.
Father Sang knew this swamp because his father was a peddler and some of his companions had been swallowed up by this kind of land.
"Let's rest here. Remember not to go forward. Every household should keep an eye on your children. The land ahead will eat people." Old Man Sang explained to the villagers.
"The land will eat people... How can the land eat people?" Some people didn't believe it and went to check it out boldly.
"I say, village chief, are you tired? You are just trying to scare us, so if you are tired, just take a rest. We have no objection." Someone said.
"Hahaha..." Everyone burst into hearty laughter, and no one believed that this land would eat people.
"Ah! Help me!" It was the brave young man who took advantage of Old Man Sang's inattention and stepped on it. Then slowly, both feet sank down. The more he struggled, the faster he sank.
He saw the bones in the swamp, and he panicked even more. He didn't want to die yet.
"Find a larger branch or tree trunk, put a rope on one end, and let him go over. Let him hold onto the trunk and lie down without exerting any strength. We'll pull him up." Sang Jin couldn't bear to watch any more. Stupid guy, this guy wants to die, there's no way to stop him.
"Zhou Xiaoxing, did you hear me tell you to stop moving? I told you not to listen to the village chief," Zhou Xiaoma said. Zhou Xiaoxing was eighteen years old, a lively and rebellious age. The person speaking to him was his older brother, Zhou Xiaoma, who was a year older than him.
"Brother, I was wrong. Please help me." Zhou Xiaoxing was so scared that he peed his pants. Fortunately, his lower body was stuck in the swamp. It was not obvious that he had peed.
"Then don't move for now." Zhou Xiaoxing finally stopped moving around.
Soon, the villagers followed Sang Jin's instructions and found a thick branch, tied one end of it with a rope, and threw it to Zhou Xiaoxing.
Zhou Xiaoxing held the other end of the branch, and Mu Xuan and Zhou Xiaoma successfully pulled him out.
The man was pulled out, but he was covered in mud. Everyone stepped back and stayed away from him.
"Zhou Xiaoxing, come here. Sister-in-law has water here. Take a basin and go behind the big rock over there to clean yourself. Ask your brother to find you a set of clean clothes." said Fang from the second branch of the Sang family.
"Thank you, Mrs. Fang." Zhou Xiaoxing was just about to pick up the basin.
"Wait, don't touch my sister-in-law's basin with your dirty hands. I'll take it." Zhou Xiaoma took the basin first: "Thank you, sister-in-law Fang, for the water."
The brothers Zhou Xiaoma and Zhou Xiaoxing were orphans, living off the food of many families in their village. Later, their spiritual roots awakened, allowing them to cultivate. With exceptional strength, they worked at the county docks, moving goods. They earned twenty or thirty cents a day, making a decent living.
They would also often buy some food and give it back to the children in the village and the elderly who had helped them. They were the ones who had received kindness from the village, so they would give back to the villagers.
"We are all from the same village, what are you thanking me for? Go and clean your brother up quickly. If the mud dries up, it will be difficult to wash. If there is not enough water, come and get more." Fang said.
"Okay."
Zhou Xiaoma happily took the water and followed Zhou Xiaoxing to behind a big rock to clean the mud off his body.
Sang Jin used his spiritual power to explore the swamp. Then he moved a few stones and used his spiritual power to cut them into several stone tablets, on which he engraved the words "the boundary of the swamp".
A stone tablet is erected at intervals to prevent others from accidentally falling when passing by.
"Mom, I'm going to Yanfei City with Master Lu to buy some things. Is there anything you want?" Sang Jin asked Zi Shufen.
"Xiao Jin, be careful when you go to the city. Mommy doesn't need anything as long as you are safe." Every time Sang Jin said she wanted to go out, Zi Shufen looked worried.
"Mom, don't worry. Young Master Yu has already reached the middle stage of the Golden Core stage, so he's absolutely safe." Sang Jin was very confident in Li Jingyu. After all, they were friends from the same continent.
Zi Shufen exclaimed in surprise. Her father-in-law had previously said that Master Lu's cultivation was at least at the early stage of the Golden Core stage. She had never expected to get the exact answer from her daughter, that it was at the middle stage of the Golden Core stage.
This young master's cultivation talent was probably that of a genius. But her daughter was also quite good, having already reached the sixth level of Qi Refining at the age of five.
Sang Jin always felt that she was about to break through to the seventh level, but she never did.
Her master once told her that when she encountered such a situation, she should go find someone to fight.
Or maybe I could find a beast to fight. Maybe I could find a breakthrough.
After Sang Jin finished talking to her mother, she went to find Li Jingyu and went to Yanfei City together. The city was protected by a barrier, and flying in the air was prohibited.
With Li Jingyu's cultivation, even if he couldn't completely break the barrier, he would definitely be able to tear open a hole in it.
When Li Jingyu tore a crack, an elder of the Yan clan from the City Lord's Mansion opened his eyes. Someone had torn through the barrier he had set up and entered.
Not knowing whether they were friends or foes, Elder Yan arrived at the crack in the barrier in a flash and repaired it with his spiritual power. At this time, Sang Jin and the other two had already entered the city.
Rice in the city was already selling for twelve cents a pound, and flour for thirty cents a pound. Despite the high prices, Sang Jin couldn't resist buying some flour.
Then I searched the whole city and bought ten sets of tables and chairs. They were all ordinary long wooden tables and chairs.
The huge table and chairs disappeared before the shopkeeper's eyes, but he didn't find it strange. There was no shortage of wealthy cultivators in their city.
Rich families would buy space rings for their children, but the capacity of this little girl's space ring was just a little bit larger.
It seemed she must be an extremely favored child in the family. He actually let a girl use a precious space ring to store such vulgar items. In the shopkeeper's opinion, Sang Jin's actions were extremely arrogant.
"Xiao Jin." Li Jingyu came to Sang Jin with his hands full of snacks as if to invite her favor.
In the time it took Sang Jin to buy a table and chairs, he bought so much food.
"I bought some of the same, all of which are sweet and spicy foods that you like."
"Li Jinyue, you are so silly. How can I eat so much with my small body? Do you think I am a pig?" Although Sang Jin said this, she still accepted everything and snatched away all the snacks.
