"Sorry, I may be too excited." Sun Xiao said apologetically.

"It doesn't matter." Zhou Yutian waved his hand and said, "I can tell, Boss Sun, you are also a person with stories."

"Hey, little brother, I made you laugh." Sun Xiao said, "After all, I have experienced it myself and have a deep understanding. I can't control my emotions for a while."

"Boss Sun, I think you have been holding this worry in your heart for a long time, otherwise you wouldn't be able to get excited so easily." Zhou Yutian said, "If Boss Sun doesn't dislike Zhou as an outsider, Zhou is willing to listen to Boss Sun

I’ll help you share your worries.”

"Hey, I really, really don't know what to say. Whether it's my daughter or my brother, I don't dare to tell them, I, I, I -" As he spoke, Sun Xiao

He choked up.

"I can understand, Boss Sun, you are the kind of person who would rather keep the pain in your heart than let it hurt your loved ones. I can understand your mood to a certain extent." Zhou Yutian said, "I am an irrelevant person.

If you have any pain, just tell me. After all, it won't hurt me, and you will feel better if you tell me."

"I, I'm suffering." Sun Xiao couldn't help but shed tears as he said, "I told you, my brother was very powerful when he was young, and few people his age could match him. He is the most important person in our family.

A man's pride, the whole village thinks highly of him, because having strength means he can work.

You can plant more land and eat more food. At that time, many people came to our house to marry my brother. Ordinary people don’t know what cultivation is, nor how big the outside world is.

, planting one-third of an acre of your own land is better than anything else."

"Life was supposed to be like this, farming the land, getting married, and having a wife and children on the bed." As he spoke, Sun Xiao's voice gradually became deeper, "But then, after two people came, everything in the village changed. Those two people were

Although the cultivators are only at the third or fourth level of Yaoguang, they are not as powerful as ordinary people like us.

Those who were able to resist. After those two people came to the village and found out a little about the situation in the village. After knowing that there were no practitioners in the village, they began to bully men and women. If we villagers did not go according to their wishes, they would act wantonly.

Kill them, the whole village is completely controlled by these two people, no one can escape."

After saying that, Zhou Yutian stepped forward and patted Sun Xiao on the shoulder. There was nothing he could do for him, he could only comfort him. The so-called man who sheds tears without crying is just because he has not reached the point of sadness.

"Later, one of the two people fell in love with my mother. My mother refused, so my father fought with them to death." Sun Xiao shook his head as he spoke, "But ordinary people can beat practitioners, and my father was beaten by them."

They nailed them to death at the entrance of the village and hung them there to warn the villagers. Then they used my brother and me as a threat to force my mother to obey them. My mother couldn't bear to leave us, so she obeyed them. However, the next day, I

My mother was also nailed to death at the entrance of the village.

For what reason, we don’t know. After these two men crucified our parents, they still didn’t feel relieved and killed me and my brother. At that time, although my brother was very strong, he was only four years old, and I

He's only seven years old, and he can't do anything at all. He can only wait helplessly to be crushed to death by them." As he said that, Sun Xiao clenched his fist and punched the carriage hard, directly punching through the wall of the carriage's canopy.

, the huge sound alarmed the entire caravan.

"Brother, what's wrong?" Upon hearing the sudden movement, Sun Xing immediately came over and asked.

"It's okay, I've gone too far in practicing." Sun Xiao quickly wiped away his tears and said in a normal tone, "Let's continue on our way. We have to get there before dark to avoid walking at night."

"Okay, brother, you should pay more attention to yourself." Sun Xing said, and immediately organized the caravan and continued to set off.

"What happened next?" After Sun Xiao's mood calmed down, Zhou Yutian asked again.

"Later, when my brother and I were about to be killed by them, people from the government came." Sun Xiao said, "When these two people saw this, they didn't care about us two and ran away quickly. Only then did we two brothers pick it up.

Come back alive."

"Have those two been caught?" Zhou Yutian asked.

"No." Sun Xiao shook his head and said, "The people from the government are here to collect taxes. They don't arrest people. They don't care about our life or death. They just care about whether they can collect taxes every year." Sun Xiao continued, "Since then

, I understood that in this world, strength is the most reliable guarantee. Without strength, you can only be at the mercy of others, so I vowed to embark on the path of cultivation and kill those two people to avenge my parents and the people in the village."

"Has your revenge been avenged?" Zhou Kutian asked.

"No." Sun Xiao's mood obviously cooled down when he heard Zhou Yutian's question, "We brothers have no parents, so we were raised by people in the village. In order to repay the kindness of raising us, we brothers will be

I stayed in the village to protect the villagers. It was not until a few years ago that I brought several young people in the village to the path of cultivation. After reaching Yaoguang, my two brothers began to go out and wander around, hoping to find those two enemies."

"Sigh." Zhou Yutian sighed softly. Firstly, he lamented their miserable experience, and secondly, he felt a little helpless because he could not help them.

"I feel much better after saying these words." Sun Xiao rubbed his eyes and said, "Little brother, thank you so much."

"I didn't do anything at all. You have nothing to thank me for." Zhou Yutian waved his hand and said.

"Don't say that." Sun Xiao waved his hand and said, "After I said these things, I feel much better. These are all thanks to you, little brother."

"All of this is your own doing and has nothing to do with me." Zhou Yutian said, "Although you have figured it out now, it is only temporary. If your revenge is not avenged, then your heart will be broken.

It can’t be solved either.”

"I understand this." Sun Xiao nodded and said, "I also understand that little brother, you are not an ordinary practitioner, at least you are not the same as us."

Zhou Yutian did not deny it, because so far, no matter how he explained it, there was no way to explain his current performance. If he tried to explain it again, it would feel like it was being covered up, so he simply stopped denying it, "I am here."

I just want to enter Pingwu, and I don’t have any ill intentions. I hope Boss Sun won’t ask too much about other things. This will be good for you and me.”

"Yes, I understand." Sun Xiao said, "This little brother has done me a big favor, so I will naturally help him enter Pingwu safely, and I won't ask any questions about other matters.

"Sun Xiao is also a sensible person. He knows that there are some things that he cannot interfere with, so he simply does not interfere with them to avoid causing unnecessary trouble to himself. After all, he has not avenged his revenge and his wish has not been fulfilled, and he does not want to.

There will be many other incidents.

"How much is the cargo you are escorting now worth?" Zhou Yutian asked.

"After taking such a trip, after deducting the cost and wages, you can probably earn about thirty taels." Sun Xiao said, "After deducting the wages paid to you, you should be able to earn more than twenty taels."

Although Sun Xiao's caravan has a large number of people, the actual funds recorded are only the income of Sun Xiao and his daughter. After all, this trip is not without danger. Their caravan will only transport goods that are within their capabilities.

If it exceeds their ability, they will not have enough strength to protect the goods, and the gains will outweigh the losses. Therefore, the actual income of the caravan is inseparable from the strength of the caravan's people.

"Then how long will it take for us to reach Pingwu?" Zhou Kutian asked again.

"If nothing goes wrong, we can reach the Pingwu border within one day." Sun Xiao said, "After all, we can only make a day's profit on this trip. If we delay for a long time, the gain will outweigh the loss."

"Then this journey will be tiring." Zhou Yutian nodded and said, he was quite satisfied with this speed.

The journey from Anzai to Pingwu is not far, but there is a vast stretch of Gobi that separates the two countries. While forming a natural separation, it also adds countless variables to the trade between the two countries.

The Gobi is different from the desert. Not all of it is a barren land, and the trade routes built on the road can also be preserved for a long time, so that the caravans can correctly identify the direction.

From Anzai to Pingwu, there are many inns along the way, all of which have practitioners from Pingwu and Anzai stationed in the two countries, in order to protect the safety of this trade route. After all, Anzai is happy to send things

Sold to Pingwu, and Pingwu was also happy to buy some things from Anzai to supplement his own resources, so that he could gain some advantages in competition with other countries.

However, there was not always a post station on this trade road, because in the middle of the trade road, there was a rocky beach that stretched for more than 200 miles. On the rocky beach stood strange rocks, some no bigger than a fist, and some

The ones are more than ten feet high, lying on the ground in various postures.

If there are only jagged rocks, there is no danger. After all, you can continue walking after opening the road. However, the dangerous thing about this section of the rocky beach is that it will have violent earthquakes from time to time, and earthquakes will directly stir up the rocky beach.

The huge boulders were swaying this way and that. In this case, not only the inns built, but also the caravans passing by were in danger of being completely wiped out.

In this case, although it is a disaster for the caravan, it is a rare terrain advantage for the white bandits running here. Because the strange rocks here stand, it is easy for the white bandits to ambush and avoid.

Moreover, due to the constant earthquakes, it was difficult for the men and horses chasing the white bandits to achieve results. Even if they set up bait to capture the white bandits, the terrain was quite complicated and the white bandits could not escape. The government, which came and went, had nothing to do with the white bandits.

This section of the road is very dangerous, but it is not unavoidable. However, if you want to bypass this section of the road, the formation that originally only took one day will increase to three days. This is obviously not in the interests of the caravan, so even if it is

Despite the dual dangers of earthquakes and white bandits, the caravan is willing to pass through. As for the preventive measures, the only way to prevent it is to increase the number of guards.

Starting from Anzai, the caravan did not stop a few times because it had to be timed so that the caravan could pass through the dangerous rocky beach during the day. Therefore, arriving early means being safer.

"Little brother, come down and have something to eat." Sun Xiao opened the curtain of the carriage and said. This is the last stop after entering the rocky beach. Most caravans will prepare and replenish the necessary things here.

Because there are two hundred miles of rocky beach behind them, they will try to pass there as quickly as possible until they reach the next station.

"Boy, come down quickly. Stop sitting in the carriage like a mother-in-law." Sun Xiao's daughter, Sun Lu, shouted from outside the carriage and pulled down the curtain of the carriage.

"Girl, why are you talking to people?" Sun Xiao quickly blamed.

"Boss Sun, it's okay, I happen to be hungry too." Zhou Wutian waved his hand and said with a smile. At Zhou Wutian's level of attribute achievement, he no longer has much need for ordinary food. This rhetoric is just to adapt to the situation.

.

"You see, he is also hungry. If I don't call him, he will be embarrassed." Sun Lu curled her lips at her father and said, then she balled up the curtain and threw it directly into the carriage, turned around and left.

.

"This girl is like this, don't be surprised." Sun Xiao said as he looked at Sun Lu who was leaving.

After getting off the carriage, Zhou Kutian came to the bonfire. The big man from the caravan who was originally sitting in front of the bonfire quickly made way for Zhou Kutian and handed the best piece of roasted meat to Zhou Kutian. They also knew about this trip.

Among them, they are only responsible for loading and unloading. As for the most important thing, they all rely on Zhou Wutian and Sun Xiao, father and daughter, so naturally they do not dare to neglect.

"Looking at how thin you are, you must not eat well." Before Zhou Wutian could start eating, Sun Lu appeared by the campfire and said, "Let me tell you, this meal is called 'Eat the last meal but not the next meal.' Eat more."

A little, so as not to starve to death." After saying that, he left here abruptly.

"Don't be surprised, my eldest lady has such a bad temper, but she is very kind." Seeing Sun Lu leave, a big man by the campfire quickly helped to defend himself. People like them who travel in caravans all year round will inevitably deal with cultivators.

Therefore we also know

Tao cultivators don't value ordinary people like them very much, so they rarely talk to cultivators. If it is necessary to talk, they will keep their posture extremely low and talk to people extremely politely, for fear of something going wrong.

its intention.

"It's okay, thank you for the meat." Zhou Yutian said, "Well, let me ask, what does she mean by 'eating the last meal but not the next one'?"

"You may not know this from afar." Seeing that Zhou Wutian was easier to talk to, the big man plucked up the courage and said, "The road we are going to take next is about two hundred miles of rocky beaches, and there are white bandits in between.

and earthquakes often occur, so in order to avoid these situations as much as possible, start from this

After the preparations for the inn were completed, they stopped staying and rushed to the next inn two hundred miles away as quickly as possible. Although most of the caravans were able to get to the next inn, there were still many caravans who were
