“So, did Miss White Wine have me deliver a letter, or…”
While Miss Red Wine was explaining the contents of the letter to those around her, Hu Ma, who had left their sight and was driving south, was silently thinking, "Am I the letter?"
Some questions are hard to ask, but you can't help but think about them.
Miss Red Wine is a warm-hearted person. I'm just a messenger, but she helped me deal with the Li family's affairs and even took me to understand this martial world.
She even gave me the opportunity to fight the beggar gang leader, Ji Tang, to learn valuable experience.
Coming here, every step has made me feel like I've won the lottery.
But, do I deserve this good luck?
In the eyes of these experienced reincarnators, I am just a newcomer from a small place. Everyone is trying to survive in this bizarre world, constantly facing the risk of being exposed and dying without a burial place.
Why would they risk revealing some of their secrets to help me understand this world and remind me of some of its secrets?
Senior's care for newbies?
Heh, if all reincarnators were so caring, Di Guashao's legs would have been healed long ago.
With a clear understanding in his heart, he drove quickly towards Mingzhou. Earlier, he, Zhang Agu, Zhou Butler, the coachman, and two shop assistants traveled slowly.
Honestly, it's okay if a horse works hard when traveling, and it's okay to drink a little at night to fall asleep, but it's a bit creepy when a horse looks up at the moon in the dead of night with tears in its eyes.
Some things, you can pretend to be confused when you don't ask, but when you do, you're afraid that everyone will tell you the truth.
With this horse, traveling was much faster, and he returned to Mingzhou in a few days.
"There are no fools in this martial world."
"What's wrong? You're not even giving me this much face?"
"I'm a master craftsman and disciple of Craftsman Li from the Beggar Gang in Pingnan Prefecture. I'm delivering something for him!"
""
This kind of thing can also be delivered?
The Beggar Gang in Pingnan Prefecture is not easy to deal with and is extremely deterrent to those in the martial world.
Of course, this is also because the news that the Beggar Gang has been uprooted has not yet spread. In this world without telephones or telegraphs, news relies entirely on word of mouth, which is slow to spread and easily becomes more and more mysterious and bizarre.
He did encounter some trouble on the road, after all, he was alone and driving a carriage, which was too eye-catching.
After thinking for a long time, Hu Ma just sighed deeply and accepted a truth in his heart: although he is indeed handsome and kind-hearted, he is not worthy of such care from others.
However, the Jianghu slang he learned from Miss Red Wine came in handy. Whenever he encountered bandits on the road, he would say, "Traveling on the road, running in the mountains and rivers, three or two coins for a sunny day, friends, we are all family behind closed doors."
Forget it, let's take it back to the manor first!
Now that he is going back alone, although he is still driving a carriage, the horse pulling the carriage is very individual. It buries its head in the road, tireless, as if it is not afraid of being exhausted, so the journey is extremely fast.
However, although he noticed it, he didn't ask.
Besides, even if he knew everything now, with his current skills, could he bear the lives of so many people and such great karma?
Let's take it slow, learn the skills first.
Since they take such good care of him, there must be a reason why they have to.
Hu Ma felt strange every time he looked at this silent horse, which would suddenly go crazy and could only sleep after drinking alcohol at night.
What Hu Ma didn't quite understand was that he originally thought that he was only using this horse with a death wish before meeting the beggar gang leader, Ji Tang, for insurance purposes, but he didn't expect that Miss Red Wine would give it to him when he returned south.
For example, if he became famous in Anzhou, the reputation would gradually ferment, and he didn't know if he would be rumored to be a hero eight feet tall with a waist of eight feet!
Hu Ma pretended to be the disciple of the Craftsman Li who had died at his hands, and no one dared to stop him along the way. He was even served everywhere and helped to clear the road. Moreover, they would kindly remind him if there was any unrest in the front, so as not to suffer losses.
Of course, it wasn't all convenience; there was also trouble.
Hu Ma met someone who was very enthusiastic to make friends after hearing that he was from the Beggar Gang.
He patted his chest and said that he was Cui Ganniang's brother and had helped her a lot. "You are a disciple of Craftsman Li, so we are family."
So Hu Ma drew his knife and chopped him down!
First, this guy was really familiar with Cui Ganniang and couldn't explain it during the conversation.
Second, this guy had helped human traffickers and was not a good person.
After traveling so urgently, it only took about half a month to return to Mingzhou Prefecture from Pingnan Prefecture. When Hu Ma returned to the manor in Qingstone Town, it was already noon.
He shook the reins and let the horse pull the carriage straight into the manor, which had no closed gate. He thought it would suddenly become lively, but he suddenly saw that the manor was deserted, and not a single shop assistant was in sight.
Looking up, he only saw Li Wazi leaning against the doorframe of the kitchen, dozing off.
Hu Ma flicked his whip gently, "What's going on? Where are the people?"
Li Wazi woke up suddenly, rubbed his eyes, and thought he was dreaming. He suddenly became excited, "Brother Ma, you're back?"
"I'm back!"
Hu Ma jumped off the carriage with a smile and said, "Help me with the baskets on the carriage."
He was about to ask him to help unload the things from the carriage and move them to the inner courtyard, but he suddenly stopped and only smiled, "Forget it, go and make me a bowl of noodles!"
As he spoke, he picked up two large baskets, one in each hand, and carried them directly into the house in the inner courtyard.
If other shop assistants were here, they would have done this rough work.
But Li Wazi's body is very weak now, so he can't do this rough work of loading and unloading things.
"Where are they?"
After taking in the two baskets, he took off the horse's harness and invited the horse into the stable, serving it with the best fodder, while curiously asking Li Wazi, who had started a fire.
"Half of them went to the forest with Brother Datong to practice martial arts, and half of them are at a feast in Yellow Dog Village."
Li Wazi said, "Also Brother Liangzi and Brother Zhuzi, they are helping in Zhumen Town now, saying they want to earn money for oil lamps."
"Brother Datong is very powerful now. Last time there was a zombie that three or five laborers couldn't hold down. He went up and tripped it, then stepped on the zombie's chest, and the other party couldn't get up. Brother Liangzi and Brother Zhuzi were immediately envious."
"Now they do anything to earn money. The other shop assistants also understand the importance of practicing martial arts, and now they follow Brother Datong every day, cutting trees in the forest."
"Zhou Widow scolds them every day. They clearly said they would help chop firewood, but they chopped it up in a mess."
""
Hu Ma was a little speechless. How could there be a widow wherever Zhou Datong was?
What kind of theorem is this?
Of course, he was also a little relieved to know that they were learning skills.
Earlier in this manor, he was the only one who worked hard to learn skills. Even though they saw him become a supervisor and then a shopkeeper, these shop assistants were not envious, as if they felt it was a matter of course. It wasn't until Zhou Datong learned a real skill that they became interested.
"Alright, call everyone back!"
After Hu Ma cleaned up, he said to Li Wazi, "Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) has been successfully sent back, and she has been cured."
"This time I came back, I brought a lot of good things for us!"
"By the way, call Shopkeeper Sun and his wife from the town over in the afternoon. Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) is thinking about them. The things she brought must be shared with them."
""
If any other shop assistant were here, they would probably ask how Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) was as soon as they saw Hu Ma.
Only Li Wazi wouldn't ask, or even care at all.
However, Li Wazi was really happy that Hu Ma was back. He hurried to Zhou Widow's forest to call people, and then thought about what dishes to cook for the evening to give Brother Ma a good welcome home.
Soon the manor became lively. Zhou Datong and others ran out bare-chested, overjoyed, and surrounded Hu Ma, asking questions and inquiring about Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou).
Whether she was engaged or not, and whether she had any sisters.
Later in the afternoon, Zhou Liang and Zhao Zhu also returned, not because someone called them, but because they happened to be off work.
So the people in the manor were busy again, killing chickens and sheep, going to the tavern in the town to buy wine, and bringing the tavern owner Shopkeeper Sun and his wife over together. The two were overjoyed to hear that Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) had returned home safely and helped out.
But seeing that the manor was so solemnly inviting them to drink, they were still a little uneasy.
In the evening, they patrolled the night as usual, and then two large tables were set up in the yard, with wine and dishes on them.
Hu Ma also moved two large baskets from his yard and said with a smile, "We are all good people, and good people are indeed rewarded. After sending Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) back, her family thanked us profusely and said that the people here are good."
"Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) has also been thinking about it, saying that she had the most comfortable days here, even better than the days she spent as a young lady in Lingshou Prefecture!"
"That's why, when I came, she specially brought a lot of local specialties from her home for us, two full baskets!"
"Come on, everyone gets a share, let's divide it."
""
Everyone was very happy and curiously stared at the two large baskets.
Hu Ma, in the expectant eyes of everyone, was not stingy at all. He directly opened the two large baskets, reached in, smiled slightly, and then took out countless good things to share with everyone.
"Look, this is the cloth that Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) bought for Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun. It would be so beautiful to make clothes with."
"Datong, this is the wine that Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) brought for you. It costs several taels of silver per jar!"
"Look at this sugar, these snacks, they are made so delicately. You can tell that Xiang丫tou (Xiang丫tou) is thoughtful."
"And this, the white silver, everyone must have at least."
"Two taels each!"
