Chapter 173 Yongzhou Thirteen Factories, Wu Sheng
"Guys, we are the caravan of the Wu family from Yongzhou returning to the city. We have rested here every time in the past. I wonder if it is inconvenient for you to ask us to spend one night in this ruined temple with you?"
The man who walked forward was a man with a square face, about 20 years old. He was well-dressed and looked like someone of some status, not like an ordinary person.
When he went out, Shen Qing had no intention of causing trouble. He said calmly: "This is just an abandoned temple. You can do what you want."
"Thank you." The man in his twenties glanced at Shen Qing and said with a smile: "Your accent doesn't sound like you are from Yongzhou? Are you from outside?"
"Over there in Taiping County."
"Oh!" A sudden look appeared on the man's face, and he said slowly: "It's not a peaceful time over there."
Shen Qing was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the man in front of him knew about Taiping County.
They have traveled seven to eight hundred miles in the past few days, not to mention thousands of miles.
In this world, the maximum range of ordinary people's activities is only a few dozen miles in radius, and information is relatively limited, so most ordinary people know nothing about things that are hundreds of miles away.
The man in front of me is really well-informed.
He probably has some skills.
At least he is a martial artist, and his cultivation level is not low.
But yes, if he doesn't have some skills, he can't lead a group of people running around in the wilderness.
The square-faced man cupped his hands and called to his friends behind him, indicating that they could come over normally.
After receiving the signal from the man, these people did not hesitate and led the carriage towards the ruined temple one after another.
Shen Qing glanced around and saw that there were about a dozen people in front of and behind him, all of them men.
Each one of them is muscular, and they are not easy to mess with at first glance.
"Everything must be done on a first-come, first-served basis. The temple is so big, and there are so many of us, so we take advantage of you, little brothers. If you have anything, you can also ask us for help."
Shen Qing remained vigilant in his heart. Seeing that the other party was so polite, he also said a few polite words: "Okay, don't think it's troublesome for us then."
"Hahaha... little brother is really good-natured." The square-faced man said with a smile: "Little brother, my surname is Wu, and my last name is the word "Sheng". What do you call me?"
"Shen Qing!"
"Where are you going all the way?"
"We are planning to go to the county town of Yongzhou."
"What a coincidence. We are also planning to go back. There is still a day and a half away from Yongzhou, why not come together?"
Shen Qing hesitated.
Wu Sheng said: "Little brother, don't worry, we are from the Wu Dong family of the 13th line of Yongzhou. The Wu Dong family is very strict in running the family. They build the family with the word 'sincerity'. All debts must be repaid. You can go to the county to inquire about it later." That’s it. We are not bad people.”
Shen Qing pondered for a while and said, "That would be troublesome."
"Okay, that's it, we'll leave together tomorrow morning."
Wu Sheng greeted his companions and entered the temple with his luggage. The originally small ruined temple suddenly became crowded.
The eldest sister Shen Fang and her aunt had hurriedly washed up, got dressed and walked out of the temple. Seeing that there were so many people in the temple, they returned behind Shen Qing and others with some hesitation and caution.
"Qingzi, who are they?" the eldest sister Shen Fang asked softly.
Shen Qing signaled Tian Xiaohu and Xiao Zhi behind him to restrain themselves, and said comfortingly: "The people from the Wu family in Yongzhou will stay with us in this ruined temple."
"oh."
The eldest sister Shen Fangming's eyes flashed and she looked curiously at the Wu family in front of her.
After Shen Qing learned martial arts, his life improved greatly.
Not only did he himself become stronger, but his skinny eldest sister Shen Fang also became plump.
Coupled with his already good foundation, he becomes even more outstanding as soon as he is raised like this.
She had just taken a shower and appeared in front of everyone, which made them look at her a few more times.
"Hurry up and pack your goods. If there's a little missing, my boss won't spare you." Wu Sheng was a little thoughtful and noticed this. He kicked one of them fiercely and shouted, interrupting everyone's thoughts.
Each of these men in fine clothes put away their gazes, immersed themselves in their work, and stopped looking any further.
Shen Qing thought for a while and said to Tian Xiaohu and others: "I will be on duty tonight. You all should go to bed early."
In so many worlds, Xiao Zhi and Tian Xiaohu are basically on duty in turns, and occasionally Shen Xiaoshan also helps out.
In order to maintain energy, Shen Qing rarely did patrols.
But seeing that these people tonight were a bit rough, Shen Qing thought it would be better to replace them tonight just to be on the safe side.
The setting sun is like blood, dyeing the vast green mountains into a golden red, and finally sinks into the embrace of the mountains and falls below the horizon.
Stars appeared in the night sky, and frogs croaked around them.
Two bonfires gradually grew in the ruined temple, and Shen Qing and Wu Sheng began to prepare their own meals and pack their personal belongings.
Compared with the dry food such as fried rice and hard biscuits that Shen Qing and others ate, Wu Sheng and others ate much better food, including dried meat, steamed buns, and even drinks.
Wu Sheng saw Shen Qing sitting at the door. He took a wine bag and walked up to Shen Qing and gestured: "Drink some?"
Seeing Shen Qing's hesitation, Wu Sheng pulled out the stopper and took a few sips himself, then smiled and said, "It's not poisonous."
Shen Qing said slightly apologetically: "The main reason is that I have never drunk before, so I am afraid that I will get in trouble."
"Never drank before? Okay."
Wu Sheng sat next to Shen Qing and took the initiative to chat: "What are little brothers Shen going to do in Yongzhou this time?"
Shen Qing and Wu Sheng were not familiar with each other, and this was the first time they met.
In his opinion, the most taboo when dealing with people is to talk about deep things with people who have just met.
"I haven't thought about it yet." Facing Wu Sheng's inquiry, Shen Qing had no intention of telling the truth. He sighed and said helplessly: "Brother Wu may have known about the Taiping County incident. We are going to Yongzhou to make a living. I don't know what we will do next or what we can do."
"When encountering natural disasters and man-made disasters, we mortals really have no means to deal with them. But I see that Brother Shen's horse looks majestic, and he may not be unable to gain a foothold in Yongzhou at such a young age."
Wu Sheng took the initiative to invite: "If Brother Shen really encounters difficulties in Yongzhou, you might as well find me. Although I don't have a high status in the Wu family, I can arrange some work, so it won't be a problem to make a living."
Shen Qing heard that Wu Sheng spoke sincerely, not for the purpose of recruiting, but more like he was speaking out of his feelings.
"Thank you, Brother Wu. If I really can't make it, I will definitely bother you."
"Hahaha, these are all trivial matters." Wu Sheng took a sip of wine and said, "But it's a pity. In fact, it would be better if you came earlier. If you had come earlier, Yongzhou might still be good, but now... Alas..."
"Oh, Brother Wu, is there any hidden secret in this county city?"
Shen Qing knew that Wu Sheng was well-informed and must know a lot of things.
He did not miss this rare opportunity to inquire about the news and took the initiative to ask.
