After nightfall, Gu Yang carried a jar of wine and came to Liu Shitou's house next door to ask him for a drink.
He brewed the wine himself, and it's just been a year now.
After a few glasses of wine, Gu Yang said with some emotion, "Two years ago, if you hadn't given me a bite to eat, my bones would have been cold. I'll give you a toast."
Liu Shitou dried the wine in the bowl and said, "They are all seeking a living in the mountains. If you encounter difficulties, if you can help, you will naturally help."
"For you, it's just a little effort, but for me, it's a life-saving grace."
Gu Yang said, took out a notebook, and said, "This is "Xuanyuan Gong". Although it only has the first level, it is enough to cultivate into the final product."
Liu Shitou looked at the book, which was densely written with words, which was obviously copied by Gu Yang himself.
He filled a bowl of wine, drank it, burped, and said, "I can't read."
"You can ask the village chief, or you can pass it on to your son."
The village chief is the only literate person in the village, and Gu Yang also learned from him.
"you are leaving?"
"Um."
Liu Shitou stopped talking and just drank silently.
After a long time, the jar of rice wine had bottomed out. He drank the last bowl of wine, put the bowl on the table, and said in a hoarse voice, "It's dangerous outside, don't die outside."
Gu Yang said with a smile, "Don't worry, my life is very big."
When he went out, he said to the room, "You also take care."
…
The next morning, the rain had stopped.
When Gu Yang came to the entrance of the village, the caravan was ready to go.
Said it was a caravan, but it was actually about ten mules. Among them, Lao Gao only accounted for one-third, and the remaining two-thirds belonged to the other three merchants.
The Lianshan Mountains are extremely vast, and there are many villages like Liujia Village. The people in the mountains live by hunting. Countless animal hides are accumulated every year.
Merchants only need to use some cheap daily mouth, salt and the like, and they can exchange for precious animal skins and medicinal materials.
Because of this, even though there are countless dangers in the mountains, a daring businessman like Lao Gao would still come to receive the goods on time every year.
Now, he wants to open up a new trade route, and even dares to attack a place as dangerous as Wangjiagou.
It has to be said that they really dare to take any risk for profit.
As soon as Gu Yang appeared, Lao Gao led the other three merchants over and saluted him.
"Master Gu, we discussed it yesterday. If you are willing to accompany us to Wangjiagou, you are willing to offer one hundred taels. There is only one small request. If there is any danger, I hope you can take care of it."
Gu Yang looked at their humble appearance, didn't mention the guide, only said that they were accompanied, and took the initiative to increase the fee to one hundred taels.
Thinking about yesterday, when he only needed twenty taels, Lao Gao almost jumped.
Comparing the two, the only difference is that his identity is different.
Yesterday, in their eyes, he was just an ordinary hunter in the deep mountains.
And now, they already knew that he was a ninth-rank martial artist, and he suddenly became servile.
Gu Yang said, "Okay."
Lao Gao offered him a money bag.
Gu Yang took it and felt light and airy. He opened it and saw that it was a golden leaf, about one or two.
It seems that the ratio of gold to silver in this world is about one hundred to one.
"Let's go."
Gu Yang put away the gold, took them with him, and set off.
…
[The recharge is successful, and the current balance is 104.5. 】
[Do you use a life simulator? Use once, consumes 20 gold. 】
After Gu Yang got the money, he topped up the money immediately. Then "Yes" was selected.
[At the age of 22, you became a ninth-rank martial artist, and decided to go out with the caravan. In Wangjiagou, you encountered a hunting team and were attacked and killed. After you tried to kill a few people, you were killed on the spot. Twenty-two years old. 】
What?
When Gu Yang saw the result of this simulation, his eyes narrowed.
His strength is obviously much stronger than last time. Why was he able to escape last time, but was killed this time?
Moreover, he played a trick yesterday and asked Lao Gao to think about it for one night and delay his departure for a day.
Normally, Lao Gao and the others would not spend the night in Liujia Village.
In the end, I still encountered the hunting party.
What is the origin of the other party?
[At the end of the simulation, you can keep one of the following items. 】
[One, the realm of martial arts at the age of twenty-two. 】
[Two, martial arts experience at the age of twenty-two. 】
[Three, the wisdom of life at the age of twenty-two. 】
Gu Yang didn't hesitate and chose three.
From here to Wangjiagou, according to the speed of the horse team, it will take about two to three days. In the simulation, the time of his death should be a few days later.
The choice of realm and experience is meaningless.
But this life wisdom, he wants to see what it is.
The next moment, some memory fragments appeared out of thin air in Gu Yang's mind.
He finally "saw" the appearance of the hunting party. There were more than a dozen horses in total. The leader was a young man, and the rest were his guards and subordinates.
Before he died, he asked, "Who are you?"
"Remember, my son's surname is Liu." The last thing he heard was an arrogant and domineering voice.
In the end, there were only four words left in Gu Yang's heart, "Can't be beat!"
So, this is the life wisdom he got from this simulation?
…
"Young Master Gu, can you stop and rest for a while?"
When the sun was up, Lao Gao made a suggestion.
Gu Yang had no choice but to stop, the helpers of the caravan immediately went to work. UU Reading
He just took the opportunity to ask Lao Gao, "Lao Gao, have you heard of the Liu family?"
Lao Gao said, "In Berkshire, who doesn't know the Liu family? Even the county governor has to rely on the Liu family to secure a position."
To the west of the Lianshan Mountains is Berkshire.
The county is the administrative unit of this world, and the county below the state. Berkshire is a county under Jiangzhou. It is estimated that it is equivalent to a prefecture-level city.
This Liu family is undoubtedly at the level of a soil emperor.
Gu Yang asked again, "What is the reputation of the Liu family?"
Lao Gao sneered and said, "This, I don't dare to criticize the Liu family."
"There's nothing to say about it."
Suddenly, a businessman next to him said, "If it weren't for the Liu family bullying the market, the small businessmen like us would not be able to survive. Why go to the mountains to do this terrible business?"
Gu Yang remembered the introduction just now, this person's surname is Yang.
The merchant surnamed Yang said angrily, "In Berkshire, all the money-making businesses are monopolized by the Liu family, and they are not satisfied. In the past few years, heavy taxes have been imposed on all traders. I heard that they also cooperated with the county magistrate to put other Several big households have been charged with crimes, raiding their homes and exterminating their families."
It was obvious that he hated the Liu family very much.
Gu Yang asked, "Why is the Liu family so domineering?"
"Of course it's because of their Liu family's unicorn son, Liu Zhe, the ninth in the Tianjiao list. It's only a matter of time before a 20-year-old second-rank martial artist enters the realm of supernatural powers."
A 20-year-old second-rank martial artist?
Gu Yang's scalp felt numb.
He is only Rank 9 now, even if he has a golden finger in his hand, with his aptitude, he doesn't know how many times he has to simulate to get to Rank 2.
It's just an aristocratic family in a county, and there are masters of this level.
This world is really not an ordinary danger.
