The journey after that was smooth sailing.

Ji Que slept in a comfortable coffin, and except for a lump of bird droppings that almost hit him on the head, he encountered no other misfortunes.

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

Just after noon, we arrived at Qingyan Town.

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

Li Sankai held his hand and exchanged pleasantries for a while before saying goodbye to him.

Ji Que just felt that the other party was too polite. He was obviously a free ride on someone else's ride, but instead he was thanked by others.

This made him a little embarrassed.

After saying goodbye to Ji Que, her sister Li Mei couldn't help but ask: "Brother, do you have a good relationship with your brother from the Ji family?"

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

Before, he was only an acquaintance, but after last night, he was his lifesaver.

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

Li Sankai opened his eyes wide and said, "What do you want to do?"

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

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

"Why, I see that he is so polite and polite, and it is his first time to go out. I'm afraid he will be bullied if he is not careful."

"Oh, I forgot to tell you that Ji Que is actually born with supernatural powers."

"Innate divine power?"

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

How he hoped that it was him 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 whipped the horse twice.

From now on, he would never again dare to spend the night in a deserted mountain temple.

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

Anyone who wants to buy a coffin can pick it up himself.

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

After that, he sold Huang Ping Ma, his ancestor.

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

The yellow gelding could only travel more than ten miles when it came and went, and it lost two taels of silver when it changed hands, which made Ji Que quite depressed.

This is the same as a second-hand car. Once it has been driven, it will depreciate in value no matter how new it is.

But this can be regarded as stopping the loss in time, which is better than taking an ancestor with you on the road.

The yellow gelding was sold just one day after it came out of the mountain. A pair of pony eyes watched the former owner leave, feeling a little confused.

Without the yellow gelding to drag the luggage, Ji Que could only buy some tools.

Then, Ji Que, who was standing on the road, had a book on his back.

Fortunately, the recliner Tang Yi gave him could be folded, otherwise it would be really difficult to clean it up.

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

"The journey of life is like a long dream.

There is wind and frost on the road, and the wind and frost hit my face.

In the world of mortals, dreams can have many directions."

With 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 he had never seen before.

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

At least this was the case in the northern land of the prosperous dynasty.

After leaving the town, except for the occasional farmland, the road was filled with vast tracts of grass and wild forests.

There are not many pedestrians on the road, and when you encounter one, they look like they are in a hurry and want to die.

When people walk on the road, they can't help but feel lonely, as if they will be swallowed up by the wilderness as they walk.

Perhaps it was because he was still in the early stages of accumulating his understanding, or because many of the places he traveled through were sparsely populated, but Ji Que encountered more than a dozen pickpockets and bandits along the way, none of them very professional.

The so-called not very professional is not only because they are not skilled enough in technique, but also because they are relatively poor.

They are so poor that it would be difficult or even unbearable for you to pick up some money from them.

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

There were six bandits in total, men, women, old and young. Some were holding rakes and some were carrying poles. They were all so hungry that they looked sallow and skinny, as if they would collapse if the wind blew.

Ji Que has encountered unprofessional people before, but he has never encountered such unprofessional people.

When he asked, he found out that there was a severe drought and famine not far away. All the crops grown by these people could not survive, but the officials' exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes could not spare them a penny.

They were forced to do nothing, and everyone in their village who could escape ran away.

Some became beggars, some became thieves, some sold their children and daughters, and a few of them chose a career that sounded promising, like turning grass into bandits.

After all, the heroes in the storyteller's mouth are all those who make money and eat meat.

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

Either others have horses and they can't catch up, or the caravan guards are tall and powerful and they don't dare to mess with them.

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

In the words of Ma Banditou, they had been eating bark and weeds for several days. He also had a three-year-old daughter who could not eat these things and was about to starve to death.

As they talked, the group of bandits burst into tears, and the woman who looked the thinnest was so out of breath from crying that she fainted because of malnutrition.

Ji Que looked at this scene and almost cried with them.

It's really too miserable.

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

"Stop being a gangster, you really have no talent."

Although Ji Que loved the silver, he did not feel any regret for giving it away this time.

"If you are poor, you can benefit yourself; if you are prosperous, you can help the world." This is a truth he has known for a long time.

He was not wealthy, and could even be considered poor, but compared to those farmers who ate grass and tree bark, he was considered wealthy.

Twenty taels of silver was not much for him, and in Tianren City it was only half a world of roast goose, but in the hands of those few people, it could save lives.

It is a fine tradition of the old Ji family to help others as much as possible, otherwise there would be no such sesame cake engagement.

Along the way, although Ji Que kept walking, he did not deliberately speed up.

In the process, he became more and more aware of the complexity and cruelty of this world. Those farmers who were forced to become bandits were just a microcosm of what he saw along the way.

Relatively speaking, the isolated Sangshui County feels 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.

Overall, I have lost some money, and my money has been hovering between seven and eight hundred taels, reaching a dynamic balance.

However, compared to losing money, he was more afraid of losing the engagement letter and sesame seed cakes, so he hid them in the best and safest way.

Occasionally, while tidying up things, Ji Que couldn't help but have some thoughts when he saw the half moldy sesame seed cake.

Although he was going to break off the engagement, 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.

Why do people who want to break off their engagement know so much?

But Ji Que couldn't help but think about it.

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

It is not illegal for young people to like to fantasize.

Almost every young person has fantasized about a beautiful and rich woman, be it a Loli lady.

Ji Que is not immune to this, especially in his last life, he always dreamed of a two-dimensional heroine from a certain anime coming to reality, and then living happily with him.

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

But today, Ji Que had no time to miss his former second-dimensional wife.

Because he seemed lost.

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

There seems to be no village in front of the place and no store in the back. It is difficult to find someone to ask for directions.

He could only keep walking forward, but when he was at the end of the road and there was no way out, he suddenly saw another village.

A village appeared in front of me.

Ji Que couldn't help but feel happy.

It seems that we don't have to sleep in the wilderness tonight, and maybe we can have some hot food and soup.

Ji Que carried the book on his back and couldn't help but quicken his pace.

If he wasn't worried that lying on the ground and swimming would scare others, he would have even wanted to lie down and swim down the hillside at high speed.
