On the outskirts of Sand City, Wang Ziyu and his group were riding tall horses and standing by the side of a railway, waiting for someone.
"Giddy! Go!"
The sky was slightly bright. From the direction of Sand City, a donkey slowly walked over.
Zhang Qishan looked at Qi Tiezui who was riding a donkey over and sighed,"Eighth Brother, I told you to disguise yourself. Why are you riding a donkey?!”
Qi Tiezui raised his head and said in a matter-of-fact tone,"Lord Zeng, I'm a fortune-teller. If I don't ride a donkey, would I ride a big horse like you? Isn't that telling the world that I have something to do here?! Don't look down on my clothes. The more you walk into the mountains, the more useful my clothes are!”
"Tsk tsk!"
Wang Ziyu, who was teasing Yin Xinyue, turned his head when he heard this. He looked at Qi Tiezui's outfit and said,"Lord Myna, the Taoist priests in this mountain should be so poor that they have long since died and become bandits, right? Are you sure you won't be mistaken for a lone bandit in this outfit?”
"Go!"
Qi Tiezui rolled his eyes at Wang Ziyu and said unhappily,"Can I be like them? I'm the direct disciple of the Huangting Ancestral Master. How can the descendants of the Qi family compare to me?!”
"Alright!"
Zhang Qishan interrupted the two of them and said,"It's getting late. Let's hurry up!"”
The group of people followed the railway all the way to Xiangxi. Three days later, they arrived at the first Kuangqu in the mountains marked by Zhang Qishan on the map.
Xiangxi produced a lot of mercury. There were more than ten mines here, accompanied by various miscellaneous ores. The miners lived in the deep mountains and came out once every two months. There were specialized horse grooms to transport ores back and forth every day.
The sun was setting in the west. Wang Ziyu and the others arrived at an ancient station on the ancient Tea-Horse Road in Dong Village, which was located halfway up the mountain.
This Dong Village was built on the mountainside, but the relay station was built along the mountain road by the cliff. A long stretch of grass stretched along the mountain road for half a mile. Inside, hundreds of miners and peddlers were sleeping in the dragon-like bunk beds. Under their pillows was a bottomless abyss.
Qi Tiezui looked at the big common shop in front of him and shook his head with a pale face."Lord Zeng, if you take a piss in the middle of the night, you'll be smashed into pieces if you step on the air. I think we shouldn't stay here. Besides, it's not convenient for Miss Yin to follow us!”
"What do you think?"
Zhang Qishan felt that Qi Tiezui's words made sense. There was a girl among them, so it was indeed inappropriate to live here.
Wang Ziyu pondered for a moment and said,""You guys stay here first. I'll send Xinyue to a fellow villager's house for the night. Tomorrow, I'll send two people to send her back to Sand City and stay at Second Master's house for a few days.”
Yin Xinyue, who was standing beside Wang Ziyu and scrunching her nose as she looked at the environment in the courier station, heard Wang Ziyu say that he wanted to send her back. She hurriedly hugged his arm and shook her head."I don't want to. You guys can stay here, and I can stay here too. I'll just stay next to you, okay?”
Wang Ziyu pulled Yin Xinyue in front of him and looked into her eyes."Be good, this is not a place for you to stay. We don't know how many days we'll be staying here. Go back first. I'll bring you to the tomb next time, okay? Be good."
Yin Xinyue bit her lip when she heard this. Although she was a little unwilling, she also knew that this was not the time for her to throw a tantrum. Wang Ziyu and the others were right. She was indeed not suitable to live here, so she could only nod her head reluctantly, agreeing with Wang Ziyu's words.
Seeing this, Wang Ziyu touched the top of Yin Xinyue's head and turned to greet Zhang Qishan. He left the courier station with the two members of the Zhang family and went to find a hometown to settle Yin Xinyue.
When Wang Ziyu returned after settling Yin Xinyue down, the vendors and miners who were staying at the courier station had already gotten up and raised the stove. They were roasting the pancakes on the stone steps of the cliff and cooking the spicy soup.
Some of the miners took out the game they had hunted in the mountains and roasted it. They used all kinds of chili powder, cumin, and other condiments. The fragrance spread throughout the entire valley.
All kinds of lanterns were hung on the roof of the big common shop. From afar, it looked like a ghost market in a story.
Wang Ziyu came back and laid on the bed between Zhang Qishan and Qi Tiezui. When he found that the adjutant was gone, he asked in a low voice,"Where's the adjutant?"
Zhang Qishan closed his eyes and explained in a low voice,"After our Zhang family came to Sand City, we followed the tradition of the Zhang family and placed many spies in the entire Hu Province. Most of the Zhang family members were mingling with the local people of various professions. The adjutant went to contact the people here.”
Wang Ziyu didn't ask any more questions. He closed his eyes and began to rest. He wanted to conserve his energy for the night.
"Aiya, I can't sleep!"
After lying down for a while, he heard Qi Tieyui call out. He got up and said to Wang Ziyu and Zhang Qishan,"Lord Zeng, Ziyu, I'm going to take a walk. You guys go to sleep first!”
Wang Ziyu closed his eyes and replied," Be careful. Don't go too far. If you need anything, just call us."”
"Don't worry, I know."
Qi Tiezui replied and walked out.
After sleeping for a while, Wang Ziyu smelled a fragrance coming closer and closer to him. He couldn't help but open his eyes and see Qi Tiezui coming back with a smile on his face while holding all kinds of skewers.
Wang Ziyu sat up and asked curiously,""Master Eight, where did you get this? Not bad, you went out and brought back so much food?”
Qi Tiezui called Zhang Qishan and said proudly,"That's right. Why don't you take a look at what I do for a living? Isn't it a small matter to get some food?!”
Wang Ziyu glanced at Qi Tiezui's money pouch hanging at his waist and teased,"Lord Myna, why is your money bag deflated? Did you lose your money? Tell me where you've been. I'll help you ask if anyone has seen you.”
Qi Tiezui smiled awkwardly and said,"Alright, alright. I bought these, okay?! Are you guys eating or not?"
Zhang Qishan glanced at the food that Qi Tiezui brought back and said,"You came out to roam the martial world and eat whatever you want. Old Eighth, you should give up. You won't live long anyway. I see that the Wu family's dogs don't eat these. You should go to the Wu family to study.”
Qi Tiezui looked at the food in his arms and then looked at the people chatting and eating outside the relay station. He said softly,"It can't be, right? Look at how much they're eating! I think the folk customs here are simple and honest. How cute are the villagers? It's not like I haven't experienced the dangers of Jianghu. Your Zhang family is too cautious. No wonder you can't get a wife. Look at Ziyu. He did not have so many misgivings. How beautiful was the Miss Yin that he found?!”
Wang Ziyu, who was eating the skewers he had taken from Qi Tiezui's arms, heard Qi Tiezui talking about him. Without even raising his head, he said," I'm immune to poison. It's fine. It's hard to say for you."”
Qi Tiezui didn't care and started eating."It's fine. If I'm poisoned, I'll drink your Wang Ziyu's blood.”
