Chapter 213: Zhuxian Guan’s Three Years of Repairs
.
The day after leaving Zhuxian Temple seemed to be very long, and many things happened, and Li Bai and the others felt overwhelmed. But the day seemed very short. After eating and drinking, the four of them followed their younger brother upstairs and fell asleep until they woke up the next day, because they were tired from rushing around.
According to Li Bai's plan, he wanted to rest in this store for one day and continue to go back to Qinglian. After all, he was very close to relatives and wanted to meet his parents immediately. But yesterday the fact that there was no silver on him reminded Li Bai, forcing Li Bai to stay here for a few more days, because this place is still far from the center of Sichuan and Shu City, and even further from Qinglian, it takes several days to arrive. And traveling requires travel expenses, food, drink, and living.
With the curfew system, if you don’t have any silver on your body, even if you don’t starve to death, you will have to be beaten to death by patrol nightmare by patrol. Otherwise, you can only hide in the deep mountains and forests to spend the night with wild animals. But if this happens, you will have to waste ten days and half a month of extra breath to Qinglian, and without any accidents.
Li Bai didn't want to go around in circles like this, so he got up very early and left Zuihua Building alone. He wanted to find a letter courier to see if he could help. He quickly sent two letters out. One letter was given to the Li family business slightly closer, asking the pickup to take him and prepare some silver for him first. The other letter was sent to Qinglian, saying that he had left his master to go down the mountain, and he would go home to pay homage to Li Ke and Yuewa.
Li Bai did not bother Wu Zhinan, Siguo and Wu Gui, because they were still sleeping "huhuhu" and snoring like thunder. In addition, there is another reason, that is, their dressing is indeed too strange, at least it is contrary to the current style of Shang Tang Shang. If you take them with you, even if you don't cause any unnecessary trouble, you will have to waste a lot of time.
The way Shang Tang delivers letters is somewhat particular. It is simple and complex, and it is also complicated. It is roughly divided into three types. One is sea delivery, one is land delivery, and the other is empty delivery.
Sea delivery is also called water delivery, which means that it is delivered through rivers, lakes and seas through ships. The probability of accidents is average. The time used is not fast or fast, and it is not slow or slow. It depends on the ship carrying some cargo. Because the main purpose of the ship is to carry cargo, carrying a message is second. Generally, people who use this method to send messages are not anxious.
Lu Send is a way for the letter messenger to send him off by riding, walking, and sitting. Although the probability of accident is very low, the time spent is slow. Because the letter messenger brings more than one or two letters, it takes a lot of effort and energy to find someone.
Empty delivery means giving away by birds, the most important of which are pigeons and eagles, but the former is quite common. This method sends messages very quickly, but the probability of accidents is hard to describe, and it depends on luck. If you encounter someone's unlucky child, then the letter is a shame, and the bamboo basket is empty; not to mention giving away for free, you have to catch a pigeon.
Another situation is that when they encounter officials who are inspecting the inspection, they will read these letters from time to time. The purpose is very simple, they want to check and see who has the intention of making a difference, so they will shoot the pigeons specifically. When they encounter this situation, they are the most unlucky. They don’t tell you for free, and they don’t tell you if you catch a pigeon. The most important thing is that the letter has been read by someone.
However, there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.
To prevent the letter from being delivered, whether it is delivered by the letter hall or privately delivered, the pigeons released will be given a few more words. Generally, there are two to three pieces, which is equivalent to copying two to three copies of a letter, which is much safer and more reliable.
But there are also a few unlucky guys.
For example, there was a woman from a wealthy family in the past, or she was full and she was so full that she would learn to find excitement and have an affair with Lao Wang next door. In a certain period, Lao Wang next door went to a business in a distance and did not see this woman for half a year.
I don’t know if he really likes others or pretends to like them. One night, he couldn’t sleep and was impressed. He couldn’t control his feelings, so he put out three pigeons, each carrying a creed on it, saying that the woman and her husband had a reason to meet, and then the clouds and rains were filled with fire and fire.
As a result, Lao Wang next door was very lucky. None of the three pigeons were unexpectedly flew there. However, although he released the three pigeons at the same time, they did not fly at the same time. One of them was injured in their wings for some reason, so they flew a little slower.
The woman received two pigeons, two creeds. After waiting for a long time, she didn't see the third one coming, so she thought the third one was gone. So she packed up and found an excuse to go back to her parents' home and ran to see Lao Wang next door.
Not long after the woman left, the third pigeon flew back with its wings and "王小" landed on the pigeon platform. Seeing this, the housekeeper picked the creed and showed it to his master. Then, there was nothing.
There is another even more unlucky person who did everything he wanted to do during his lifetime, bullying men and women, and started from scratch by cheating and stealing. Later, he married a wife and gave birth to children. He was about to do good deeds and live the rest of his life safely, but he was not expecting it to be too late.
He received a news that an ordinary person wanted to petition the court and expose his evil deeds. He wanted to stop and kill the man, but the man had gone far away and could not be killed. He made a quick decision and asked for help from his great backer, a powerful minister in the court, who wanted to ask the minister to help stop and kill the petitioners. So he sent five big white pigeons out in one letter and five letters.
But what he never expected was that the five pigeons had not flew far away, and four little kids hit them with a slingshot. One of them ran away, but it was not very lucky. When it flew halfway, it encountered the inspector's officer who was inspecting it, and shot it down with an arrow.
The official officer opened it and smiled. Without saying a word, he sent someone to find the petitioner and protect it. These official officers who specialize in inspections are not ordinary people, and they all waited directly for the emperor, like a confidant. So he took the creed and gave the whole story. When the emperor heard it, he was furious and immediately ordered the dispatch of soldiers to take over the evil people and the ministers in the court overnight.
Therefore, it is said that the way to deliver letters by Fei Ge is good or fast, but whether there is any accident depends on your own luck. After all, although the world is a good cycle of reincarnation, who can I spare?
Li Bai understood the advantages and disadvantages, but in order to quickly solve the penniless trouble in front of him and his eagerness to be at peace with his parents, he chose to use the method of sending a letter to Fei Ge. He thought about it and had a god up to him, but he had not done any bad things in daily life, so he should not be so unlucky.
It was just dawn here, and there were few pedestrians on the road, with only some morning vendors and busy merchants. Li Bai thought he had gotten up early enough, but he didn't expect that someone would get up earlier.
According to the information I inquired with my second brother, Li Bai quickly found the place where he helped people deliver letters, the letter hall. But before he could walk in, he met someone he had just met yesterday, the little girl of Shiliu Cuishang and Lu Xiaoyu.
"Hey, Li Bai?" Lu Xiaoyu was in his hand and looked at Li Bai with a very surprised look and asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Miss Xiaoyu, I'm lucky to meet." Li Bai bowed and said, "I'm here..."
"I guess you came here to send a letter to someone here, or to get the letter." Before Li Bai finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyu snatched it over and asked, "Is it right?"
"Uh!" Looking at the two big words "Letter Hall" that were visible to the eyes, Li Bai was very helpless. It seemed that most of the people who came here were for these two things. But he was stunned and still echoed Lu Xiaoyu and replied: "Miss Xiaoyu guessed well. After going here, he came to send someone to deliver the letter."
"Haha, I am smart." Lu Xiaoyu smiled happily and said, "You can even guess what you are doing here. I am simply a magician, the most powerful magician in the world. Hahaha, Li Bai, I will ask you if you are powerful?"
"Awesome!" The sky was a little cold in the morning in March, but a few drops of sweat fell on Li Bai's forehead and said, "It's amazing!"
"Hehe!" Lu Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Because you are so good at speaking, I will not tease you anymore." After a pause, I suddenly looked at Li Bai thoughtfully, as if planning something, and said, "I am going to sell delicious food now, how about you follow me? I promise you that I will never treat you badly. If I have a string of candied haws, I will also have a string of candied haws."
"Can't you go, Miss Xiaoyu?" Li Bai didn't want to go, he just wanted to solve the trouble in front of him soon, so he refused, "You go, I have to submit a letter."
"Invest in the letter?" Lu Xiaoyu's brows froze, as if he was reminded of something. Suddenly, he smiled confidently and said, "Then I ask you, do you know that investing in the letter also requires money?"
"I know it myself." Li Bai didn't think much and replied bluntly: "Nothing in the world is obtained for nothing."
"Ha! Then I'll ask you again!" Lu Xiaoyu: "Do you have silver now?"
"I, I!" Li Bai sucked and said, "No!"
"Haha, I know you didn't!" Lu Xiaoyu gloomed and said, "Miss, I told you that I'm here to invest in the letter, and I'm going to leave here soon. I'm going to send a letter to Anlu to report your safety. But, hehe, I'm not here, I'll scare you. The money required for this letter is a lot, a lot, a lot. And they have regulations that only by paying the money first can you deliver the letter to you."
"This!" Li Bai was speechless immediately. He wanted to believe it first and then pay, but after hearing Lu Xiaoyu's words, he knew that his method would not work.
"But you don't have to worry, isn't I still here?" Lu Xiaoyu smiled brightly, and his two dimples were particularly intoxicating, saying, "As long as you agree to accompany me to go shopping, I will take care of the money for the letter. What about?"
"Thank you for your kindness, but I think I'll forget it. I'm thinking about his method!" Li Bai felt a little nervous. He didn't want a young woman to help him pay the silver twelve to avoid being criticized by the audience. He thought in his mind that this method would not work and there was another method. As the saying goes, there is no way out. With his current ability, he can go to the street to play a sword and sell his skills, and he can make more or less money.
"Puff!" Lu Xiaoyu couldn't help laughing after hearing this, because she had seen through Li Bai's thoughts. However, she didn't know that it would be worthy of Li Bai's face, so she said, "Let's do this, let's make a deal. I will hire you as my servant now. You accompany me to go shopping. I will pay you the silver you deserve. How can that be done?"
"Miss Xiaoyu, thank you for your kindness!" Li Bai knew that Lu Xiaoyu was helping him and that if he wanted to refuse, it would make him seem pretentious. So he stopped refusing and replied, "Don't worry, I, Li Taibai, will return it twice the time in the future and will never break my promise."
"No need to return it, no need to return it!" Lu Xiaoyu waved his hand and said, "We agreed that this is a transaction, you earned it yourself! But, hehe!" Lu Xiaoyu suddenly changed his mind and said, "Who told me that I am kind-hearted, beautiful, and beautiful? If you can meet my sister Xian'er and me like this... Such a good person must be the blessing you have cultivated in your previous life!"
"What Xiaoyu girl said!" Li Bai had no choice but to bow.
In this way, with the help of Lu Xiaoyu, Li Bai easily solved the trouble in front of him. The people in the trust hall put out two pigeons, one flew to Qinglian and the other to the main city of Sichuan and Shu.
First, Li Bai felt that his luck should not be bad; second, Li Bai didn't want to waste too much silver from Lu Xiaoyu, so he only chose two. Although Lu Xiaoyu gave a lot of money to Li Bai and asked Li Bai to go in and vote, she was waiting outside. But Li Bai also believed in his luck, and it was not like Lu Xiaoyu's spending too much silver from Lu Xiaoyu. After the incident, he returned all the silver from Lu Xiaoyu.
Lu Xiaoyu didn't want anything anymore and wanted to take the opportunity to help Li Bai, but Li Bai insisted on not using it, so he had to take it back. Then, the two of them walked together with their swords and went to the market.
It was dawn here, and Yiyang was rising, so there were naturally more people. After arriving on the market street, Lu Xiaoyu just took Li Bai around, and looked around, and had a lot of fun. But as time passed, Lu Xiaoyu soon began to buy in large quantities, ranging from accessories to clothes, and some strange things that could not be said to be named. Anyone who liked them was taken over by her.
After buying these lightweight items, they were all handed over to Li Bai to get. After a while, the things Li Bai was holding were piled up like a hill, and he was completely invisible.
But Lu Xiaoyu seemed to be addicted to buying, and ignored Li Bai's feelings at all. He still bought and bought, bought and bought, and didn't listen to any advice. At this time, Li Bai finally knew why Lu Xiaoyu had to take him to go shopping. Now that I think about it, Li Bai regretted it, and felt so scared, and was afraid.
