Chapter 28 The Farewell Banquet
A few hours later, the group finally returned to Rongyang Town.
Looking at the town that had been away for several days, although it was still in the dilapidated state, Zhang Luochen rarely felt a little intimate.
However, there were only one missing from the six people who set out. Looking at the corpse of the deer on the horse's back beside him, Zhang Luochen sighed in his heart.
The group entered the town, first sent the horses and the corpses of the detachers to the escort shop to the escort shop for a deposit, and then Zhang Luochen took everyone to the Yuelai Restaurant in the town and ordered a banquet.
This meal was both a celebration banquet and a farewell banquet. In addition, a companion died in the morning, but the atmosphere at the table was a little subtle.
After three rounds of wine, Zhang Luochen picked up the wine glass, "Everyone, the matter of Crow Ridge has been completed. Let's separate here today. Thank you for your companionship and guards these days. I'm very happy to fight side by side with you. However, there are endless demons and ghosts in the world, and there are many evils in the world. My road is still far away. I'm afraid I'll set out in the next two days. I'm afraid I can't drink and chat with you again in the future. We meet again. Let's receive these rewards. Our green mountains will not change and the green water will flow forever. See you again in the future."
As he said that, he handed the prepared purse to everyone one by one.
Although the price had been negotiated before, Zhang Luochen still added a few more gold coins to each wallet.
When he handed Yang Bai to wear a purse, the other party refused, "The immortal master saved my mother's life. I said that this trip was to repay kindness. How could I still ask for the immortal master's money? I also asked the immortal master to take back the money, so don't insult Yang."
After spending these days together, Zhang Luochen already knew this man who seemed to be rough but actually quite responsible. Seeing that the other party looked serious, he knew that he was not talking casually, so he didn't say anything and gave up.
Duan Feihu was very excited to take the reward belonging to him, and couldn't wait to open the bag and check it out, with an excited look on his face.
As for the Liu slut, Zhang Luochen not only gave him all the remuneration for him and Lao Qian, but also gave him an extra purse, which contained twenty gold coins.
"Old Liu, this money is my extra pension to Lao Qian. Please give it to his family. I may trust you?"
The old Liu hesitated for a moment, opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he didn't say anything, reached out and took the purse over, and said solemnly, "Don't worry, I, Liu, swear to the sky, I, must hand over the money to the hands of the person closest to Lao Qian. If you violate this oath, you will be punished by heaven and earth."
Zhang Luochen nodded.
When everyone left the table and left, Zhang Luochen paid the money for the wine and was about to leave with Hong Zhouzi, he suddenly saw Duan Feihu turning back.
"Young Master Zhang, there is one thing I must say. The Qiandaike and Lao Liu were originally from the same hometown. I heard that the two of them were suffering from plague in their hometowns. The two of them died in the village. Then they were left here to be escorts. There was no family left. I was angry that the guy lied to the young master and came here to tell me."
After hearing this, Zhang Luochen immediately understood why the old Liu had hesitated before, and the words he had sweared and swore that if neither of them had any relatives, wouldn’t he be the closest person to the Qiandaike? So this guy played a text game with him.
Thinking of this joint, he smiled and shook his head, "I understand, you go."
Seeing that Zhang Luochen was not angry at all, Feihu was also a little embarrassed. He stopped talking, and turned around and left with his fists.
"Young Master Zhang is not planning to get the twenty gold back?" Hong Zhouzi next to him asked.
Zhang Luochen shook his head, but did not explain anything.
In the evening, sitting on the bamboo collapsed under the willow trees outside the Taoist temple, drinking tea, watching the lights slanted by the setting sun, and feeling the cool night wind, Zhang Luochen completely relaxed.
"What are Mr. Zhang thinking about?" asked the old Taoist Hong Zhouzi, who was sitting on the other end of the bamboo collapse with a smile.
"I was thinking that Li Sanlang was a very good person. If I hadn't shown that luxurious style before, maybe Li Sanlang wouldn't have been evil. Maybe he could make friends and Lao Qian wouldn't have died.
I was still thinking that Duan Feihu and the two escorts had fought side by side and saved Lao Liu's life, but when I saw Lao Liu getting more money, I still came to report the news in anger.
Lao Liu and Lao Qian were brothers who were entrusted with life and death. He seemed very sad when Lao Qian died, but he still left Lao Qian's money without hesitation and showed joy on his face.
Sometimes it’s really a headache to think about money.”
Hong Zhouzi disagreed, "Young Master Zhang has a unique skill, ambitions, and has countless money in his hand. Naturally, he doesn't care much about money. But for ordinary people, it's so difficult to make some money, and it's even harder to move without money. You naturally have to be petty about life and death. This is inevitable. Just say, "Young Master Zhang, if you don't have gifts and rewards, I will not easily help others to suppress zombies."
Besides, there is nothing perfect about things. This time, it is already a great achievement to destroy the demon tree in Crow Ridge and break the curse here. If you find a storyteller to polish it, it may be able to spread it and create a legendary story.
Why bother Zhang? Just be honest with one's heart."
Zhang Luochen thought about it and thought it was the same. It was mainly due to the influence of his mentality in playing games in the past. When playing games, he always wanted to pass the level perfectly. It was best for a teammate to die, hide the plot and not pull the boss. He passed the boss once and achieved the most perfect ending. For this reason, he read the file again and again. However, reality is not a game after all, so how can there be so many opportunities to get back again and again? How can there be so many perfect endings?
This is a good result now, but we still need to learn some lessons and try our best to do better in the future.
He hugged the old Taoist Hong Zhouzi and clasped his fists, "Thank you for your explanation, I have figured it out."
The two of them drank tea for a while, and Zhang Luochen said, "Master, I have not been close to the world for more than ten years and have been a little ignorant of this world. You know this, so I may often ask you some weird questions in the future, don't mind."
Hong Zhouzi said, "That's natural. If you have any questions, the young master will ask, and I will definitely tell you everything."
"Then I asked, but I asked what the monetary system in this world looks like? What else do people use to buy things besides gold and silver? How much is a tael of silver worth?"
However, Hong Zhouzi was stunned. This question was really weird.
