Chapter 36 Fantasy

  The journey after that is smooth.

  Ji Que slept in a comfortable coffin, except for a lump of bird feces almost hitting him on the head, he didn't encounter any other bad luck.

  Yes, the bad luck during the period of accumulating enlightenment is not continuous, but lasts for a while and rests for a while, giving people a little "surprise" from time to time, and then reaching a certain dynamic balance.

   Just after noon, Qingyan Town arrived.

   When Ji Que crawled out of the coffin, he scared away several passers-by.

  Li Sankai shook his hand, exchanged greetings for a while, and then bid farewell to him.

  Ji Que only felt that the other party was too polite, obviously he took the ride of others, but he was thanked by others.

   This made him a little embarrassed.

  After saying goodbye to Ji Que, younger sister Li Mei couldn't help asking: "Brother, do you have a good relationship with Ji's brother?"

  Li Sankai said solemnly: "That's for sure."

  Before, they could only be counted as acquaintances, but after last night, they were lifesavers.

   "Then he is not married, right? Is there a girl he likes? Walking such a long distance alone, nothing will happen, right?" Li Mei couldn't help worrying.

  Li San opened his eyes wide and said, "What are you doing?"

  Li Mei said: "People just care about your friends."

   "Don't worry, Ji Que has nothing to worry about."

   "Why, I think he is a gentleman, and it is the first time he goes out. If he is not careful, he may be bullied."

   "Oh, I forgot to tell you, in fact, Ji Que is born with supernatural power."

   "Natural power?"

  Looking at his sister's surprised expression, Li Sankai only felt that ignorance is bliss.

  How he wished that he was the one who was knocked unconscious last night, so that his world view would not change.

  Looking at the weeds on both sides of the road, Li Sankai shrank his neck, and quickly gave the horse two whips.

  From now on, he never dared to spend the night in the barren mountain and wild temple.

   No, I won’t send coffins so far away in the future.

  Whoever wants to buy a coffin can get it by himself.

  After arriving at the transfer station of Qingyan Town, Ji Que first found a restaurant that seemed to be the most popular, and had a good meal.

  Afterwards, he sold Huang Puma, his ancestor.

  He had never raised a horse before, and only after he did did he realize how troublesome it is to raise a horse.

   This yellow **** came and went, but only ran for more than ten miles, and lost two taels of silver when it changed hands, which made Ji Que quite depressed.

   This is the same as a used car. Once it has been driven, it will depreciate even if it is new.

   But this can be regarded as a timely stop loss, which is better than bringing an ancestor on the road.

  Huang Puma was sold just one day after leaving the mountain. A pair of horse eyes watched the former owner leave, feeling a little dazed.

   Without Huang Puma to drag luggage, Ji Que could only buy some tools.

  After that, Ji Que, who was standing on the road, had an extra book on his back.

  Luckily, the recliner that Tang Yi gave him can be folded, otherwise it would be really difficult to tidy up.

  Looking at his own reflection on the water, Ji Que always felt that there was music playing in his ears automatically.

   "The road of life is like a dream.

  The road was windy and frosty, and the wind and frost hit the face dry.

  In the world of mortals, how many directions do dreams have.”

  This image, Ning Caichen's buff has increased again.

   After that, Ji Que set foot on the road again.

   Along the way, he naturally had a lot of bad luck, but he also ate a lot of delicious food and saw a lot of scenery that he had never seen before.

   After walking this road in person, Ji Que deeply felt the desolation of this world.

  At least this is the case in the north of the prosperous dynasty.

  After walking out of the town, except for the occasional farmland, the road is full of large tracts of wild grass and wild forest.

  There are not many pedestrians on the road, and occasionally, they look like they are in a hurry.

  People can’t help but feel a sense of loneliness when walking on the road, as if they will be swallowed by the wilderness while walking.

   It may be because the accumulation of savvy is still in the early stage, or because many places he traveled were sparsely populated, Ji Que encountered a dozen or so pickpockets along the way, all of whom were not very professional.

  The so-called not very professional, in addition to not being skilled enough, but also because they are relatively poor.

  It is so poor that you want to get some money from them backhanded, it is very difficult, even unbearable.

  Especially on the seventh day, he encountered a highway robbery.

   There were a total of six robbers, men, women, young and old, all in battle. Some were holding rakes, some were carrying poles. They were all starving and emaciated, as if they would fall if the wind blows.

  Ji Que has encountered unprofessionals before, but he has never encountered such unprofessionals.

   After he asked, he found out that there was a severe drought and famine not far away, and all the crops grown by these people could not survive, but the exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes of the officials were all indispensable.

  Being forced to do nothing, everyone in their village ran away.

  Some became beggars, some became thieves, some sold their sons and daughters, and a few of them chose to become bandits, which sounds promising.

  After all, the heroes in Mr. Storyteller’s mouth are all those who weigh gold in large pieces and eat meat in large pieces.

   As a result, these people had no harvest for half a month.

   Either other people have horses, they can't catch up, or the caravan guards are tall and big, they dare not mess with them.

   After finally meeting Ji Que, a lone scholar, he was able to smash the rocks next to him with one punch.

   According to the leader of the bandit, they have been eating bark and weeds for several days. He also has a three-year-old daughter who is starving to death because he cannot eat these things.

   While talking, a group of gangsters cried together, and the thinnest-looking woman was out of breath because of malnutrition, and passed out.

  Ji Que watched this scene and almost cried along with them.

   It was too miserable.

  So Ji Que, who was robbed, didn't make any money, but instead gave them twenty taels of silver and asked them to do some business or something.

   "Stop being gangsters, you guys really have no talent."

  Although Ji Que loved money, he didn't feel any regret when he gave away the money this time.

   "If you are poor, you will benefit yourself alone, and if you are rich, you will benefit the world." This is the truth he has known for a long time.

  He is not up-to-date, even considered poor, but compared to those few farmers who eat grass and bark, he is considered up-to-date.

  Twenty taels of silver is not much for him. In Tianren City, there is only one half-cosmic roast goose, but in the hands of those few people, it can save lives.

  It is the fine tradition of Lao Ji's family to help others as much as possible, otherwise there would be no such biscuit engagement.

   Along the way, although Ji Que was walking all the time, he didn't deliberately speed up.

  During this process, he became more and more aware of the complexity and cruelty of the world. The few farmers who were forced to become gangsters were just one of the epitome of what he had seen and heard on this road.

  Comparatively speaking, the closed Sangshui County is a bit like a paradise.

  In short, on the way to Tianren City, Ji Que had some bad luck, saved some people, lost some money, and picked up some money.

  In general, I lost some money, and the silver on my body has been hovering between seven and eight hundred taels, reaching a dynamic balance.

  However, he was more afraid of losing the engagement letter and biscuits than losing money, so he hid them best and safest.

  Occasionally tidying up things, seeing the half moldy sesame seed cake, Ji Que couldn't help but feel some thoughts.

  Although he was going to retire, he still became interested in his nominal "fiancée", and wanted to know what kind of person she was, whether she was tall, whether her legs were long, and whether she was beautiful or not.

  People who are about to retire, why do they know so much?

  But Ji Que couldn't stop thinking about it.

  This is human instinct, like a very unreliable online dating or a blind date. You know that the other party is very likely to be a tank, but before the truth is revealed, you always have fantasies.

  Young people like to fantasize, it is not against the law.

  Almost every young man fantasizes about a beautiful and rich woman, even Lolita Yujie.

  Ji Que is not immune either, especially in his last life, he always dreamed that the 2D heroine in a certain anime came to reality, and then lived happily with him.

   Later he stopped having that dream, it was because he fell in love with another two-dimensional wife.

  But today, Ji Que has no time to miss his former two-dimensional wife.

  Because he seems to have lost his way.

  The mountains are filled with mist, dusk has passed, and darkness will shroud the land.

  It seems that there is no village in front of the place, no shop in the back, and it is difficult to find someone to ask the way.

  He could only keep walking, but when there was no way out, suddenly another village appeared.

  A village appeared in front of me.

  Ji Que couldn't help being happy for a while.

  It seems that there is no need to sleep in the wilderness tonight, maybe I can have some hot dishes and soup.

  Ji Que carried the book on his back, and couldn't help speeding up his pace.

  If it weren't for worrying that lying on the ground and swimming would scare others, he even wanted to lie down and swim faster along the hillside.
