Chapter 37: Occupation (Part 1)

After Xie Run got up, he pretended to be quite honest and embarrassed, and said, "Uh... I thought about it, brother, since you have good intentions, I should not keep people from thousands of miles away, so I... should come over."

He walked over as he said.

The others didn't think anything, but when Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai saw this, they immediately looked at each other, and their eyes seemed to be saying - I understand.

In the eyes of these two cunning guys, Xie Run is a very calm person. Combined with his appearance, even if they cannot detect internal strength from him, they are still very confident that he is a person in the martial arts world.

Of course, it’s okay for people in the world to do so. As long as you don’t show obvious hostility, then if you don’t say it, we won’t say it. It’s just that everyone doesn’t fall into the river.

But now, Xie Run suddenly changed his attitude because of Sun Yixie's words "inconvenience", and became a little "unsustainable", which revealed a lot of information.

How cunning were Sun and Huang? After a moment of thinking, they realized: This strong man carried two bags, both of them, both of them were not big, one was on his back, and the other was in his hand. Why is this? Even if something must be packed separately, you can pack it separately and put it in a big bag? Let's take a step back and follow the size of the two bags and carry it on his back at the same time...

If you don’t think about this kind of detail, you won’t realize it, but if you have already doubted it, you will be thorough.

At that moment, Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai thought about it almost at the same time that the bag in the hand of this strong man must be a very expensive thing.

Maybe someone will say, how much it is worth no matter how expensive it is? Brother Sun and Brother Huang have at least several thousand taels of silver notes in their luggage, so they are not so careful?

But this is incomparable...

For example: For a rich man, he might not take it seriously if he lost a few taels of silver, and he would forget it soon, but for a poor man, a matter of dozens of cents can make him anxious or even force him to death.

The current situation is similar: for Huang Donglai and Sun Yixie, a few thousand taels are indeed not a small amount, and they cannot be thrown away casually, but if they really lose it, they won’t be like that. At most, they will be angry for a while. Once they figure it out, they will learn from their mistakes.

But for Xie Run, who was escorting the escort, if the things in the bag were lost...even if this thing is only worth a penny, he would not be able to hand over the job.

If an ordinary escort loses the escort, it would be fine, but as the number three person in Yiyong Escort Agency, you, Xie Run, who personally took the lead, was lost in the end? That's not just you, Xie Run, can take the blame alone, this is a major event that makes the Yiyong Escort Agency's signature dusty.

Therefore, Xie Run had to be careful and had to overcorrect it.

"Oh...haha, it's okay, come on, let's sit here." Sun Yixie and the other party had no grievances and no grudges. There was no need to tell what he guessed. Therefore, he continued to maintain the principle of seeing through but not saying it out loud, pretending to be fine, "It's all people who are on the road. It's time to help each other when they encounter difficulties. There's nothing to be embarrassed about hahaha."

"Hey, yes." Xie Run continued to pretend to be stupid, nodded and sat down.

He sat down, but he didn't take off his clothes and didn't leave his hands. His condition was no different from when he was sitting in the corner just now.

You can't blame him for being dangerous, the world is dangerous, he has to be careful.

Who knows if you six of you are really a road trip? What if you six and the boatman just now are all in the same group? What if you got me here through design? What if the scholar and the businessman who traveled and footmen deliberately played a quarrel scene for me? What if you rush forward to attack me while I was restricted in my clothes?

In this isolated and unfamiliar environment, Xie Run, who has a heavy responsibility, even if he has ten thousand in his mind, he would not think it would be enough.

Fortunately... the dangers he expected did not happen next.

No one complained about his failure to take off his clothes and roast the fire. After all,... he has no friendship with him, so there is no need to care about him. As long as he doesn't get in the way of others, no one cares about him.

This indifference also made Xie Run a little relieved - if you have been in the world for too long, you are not afraid of indifference, but rather of enthusiasm; if you are not afraid of people who show malicious intentions to you from the beginning, you are afraid of people who treat you well for no reason.

Therefore, among the six people in front of him, what Xie Run fears most now is Sun Yixie...

Of course, as long as Brother Sun doesn't do anything that makes Xie Run feel that there is something wrong, Xie Run will not act rashly.

In this way, time passed slowly, and everyone was roasting the fire in a silent and depressing atmosphere and resting.

Some of them were indeed a little tired. When they were "drifting" on the boat, everyone's body was tense. After getting ashore, they wore soaked clothes and came over in the wind and rain all the way.

Before he knew it, the traveling businessman fell asleep on a box in his luggage.

As mentioned earlier, this businessman is a relatively simple and straightforward person. Although his mouth is a bit broken, his mind is not bad. Such a person has a "big heart" and can sleep even in this environment.

But the others were not as relaxed as him.

The scholar was narrow-minded. Although he had nothing valuable to him, he was unwilling to fall asleep. And the doctor, who was old, had seen too many things, and he was careful in everything and dared not sleep.

I won’t explain why Xie Run didn’t sleep.

Lei Buji, he is really not tired. After all, he is young and has high martial arts skills. Even if you let him run in the rain for two hours, he doesn’t need to take a nap. At most, he can use his skills to adjust his breathing for a while.

As for Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai... they originally wanted to doze off, but they were relieved if Lei Buji was awake. However, when they speculated that Xie Run was probably a person with valuables, they couldn't sleep anymore.

It’s not that they were thinking about Xie Run’s things, but that these two old pussy people were like Xie Run… and began to doubt others.

What if the three guys next to him and the boatman are all in the same group? What if they brought the strong man here through design and wanted to gand him? What if the scholar and the businessman in the business trip deliberately acted in a quarrel scene for the strong man to watch? What if they finished gand and wanted to silence us as well?

The world is dangerous, they have to be guarded!

So in this silent psychological warfare, an hour passed.

Those who were baking clothes also put their clothes back.

So are the clothes dry? Of course not.

However, when baking clothes with fire, this is the limit. If you continue to bake them, the clothes will not feel completely dry. They will only become harder and harder, and the color will be roasted yellower.

In that era, except for a few extremely powerful people who were not in the world, most people knew this kind of common sense. Sun Yixie and Huang Donglai had also lived in this universe for seventeen or eighteen years, so they must have known it.

After they put on their clothes, they also woke up the merchant and reminded him to put on it too.

At this moment, everyone was in a better condition; they had twisted water before baking the clothes, and even if they were not particularly dry after baking, they were better than when they had just taken them off. In addition, they had been sitting by the fire for so long, and their bodies were warmed up.

Finally, at a time when the atmosphere was pretty good, Huang Donglai spoke: "Everyone, as the saying goes, meeting is fate. Today, the seven of us and I can gather together a fire under the same roof. It is undoubtedly fate. Everyone is sitting and talking during this period. I think it is uncomfortable to hold it in. Otherwise, let's share the names? If something happens later, at least everyone can call each other's names."

When he said this, the scholar, doctor, businessman and Xie Run's faces all changed color, and they obviously had their own ideas.

In order to reassure them, Huang Donglai said again: "Oh, of course, I don't mean to force everyone. If you don't want to say it, you can not say it. I can tell you first. In Huang Donglai, these two are my brothers Sun Yixie and Lei Buji. All three of us are in the world."

Huang Donglai showed his identity here, and he had two intentions: First, he wanted to take the initiative and test Xie Run's reaction to this; second, he also wanted to use this as an opportunity to let Xie Run understand that the three of them were not for Xie Run, and could even form an alliance with Xie Run temporarily when there was danger.

After hearing his words, the doctor first responded to: "Uh... Lao Tian Wude, he is the doctor who left Fang."

"I've met Mr. Tian." Huang Donglai seemed very polite and well-educated when chatting with people other than his brothers.

"I dare not, I will just have a meal." Tian Wude said politely.

"Little student Kong Hengji." Seeing that someone had already signed up for his name, the scholar refused to be the last one and quickly spoke up again.

Before he finished speaking, Xie Run couldn't wait to answer: "Xu Ren is a..."

Unexpectedly, before he finished speaking, the traveling businessman suddenly interrupted: "No, your surname is not Xu."

As soon as this said, the other six people were stunned, especially Xie Run, who was so excited that he suddenly turned around and stared at the businessman.

But he saw the stalker. His eyes were completely different from those before he fell asleep. Under the fire, his eyes were faintly exposed to a green light, and his tone became very strange and confident: "Your surname is Xie, your name is Xie Run!"

Xie Run's face sank, and the false and honest expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by a cold expression: "If I were Xie Run, then who are you?"
