C218 The Journey to the Crescent Moon

Duan Tianya explained, "That was just a coincidence. "

Liao Qingshu said, "There aren't that many coincidences in this world. " He said again, "I think you have already told others about our relationship. "

Duan Tianya did not deny it and said, "Yes. "

Liao Qingshu smiled and said, "You have violated the agreement. "

Duan Tianya said, "You want to use this as a condition for me not to interfere in this matter?"

Liao Qingshu said, "Then why not?"

Duan Tianya said, "As long as no one in the Jianghu knows about your background, even if I did not violate the agreement. "

Liao Qingshu said, "I know you are a cautious person. "

Duan Tianya said, "I am not being cautious, but my friend is trustworthy. "

The two of them stopped talking. After a long silence, Liao Qingshu said, "I don't want to be pointed at by the Jianghu. Otherwise, I would rather die than live. You know what I am talking about. " After saying that, he broke the window and left, disappearing into the rainy night.

In the Jianghu, if you were a nameless person, even if you delivered yourself to the door and let people talk nonsense, they wouldn't bother with you. However, if you were already standing at the top of the storm, it would be difficult for you not to be pointed at. Because if you were to disappear in the crowd, who would look at you? You are high and mighty, everyone is looking up to you.

Everyone's personality was flawed, and Liao Qingshu was no exception. His flaw was that he cared too much about other people's opinions.

Duan Tianya looked at the window that was swaying back and forth in the wind and fell into deep thought. At this moment, he suddenly felt that everyone had their own path to take, so why did they have to force it on others?

However, even if he wanted to, he still had to think of a way to protect Liao Qingshu. If he insisted on doing so and openly helped the Golden Snake Hall, then with Liao Qingshu's character, even if he died, he wouldn't agree to do so. That would only harm Liao Qingshu.

The rain finally stopped. It had been three days and three nights, and the earth had sunk into mud. The carriage driver's original journey of one or two taels was now five taels. He waited outside the inn, waiting for the people who passed by to ride the carriage.

Duan Tianya rode on the horse and looked at the carriage driver, asking, "How much silver does it cost to go to the nearest inn in the Three Paths Ridge, the Moonfang?"

The coachman straightened his back and counted with his fingers. He then said: "Sir, please don't make me happy. When you go to the nearest inn in the Three Paths Ridge in the Moonfang, it will cost at least eighty silver. Why do you two need a carriage to ride a horse?"

Duan Tianya took out two ingots of silver, fifty taels and one ingots of silver, and said, "How many days do you need?"

The driver said. "Sir, you can ride a fast horse and arrive in a day, but my carriage is slow and slippery. It will take at least five days. "

Duan Tianya said, "Okay, five days it will be five days. "

The driver was confused. "Then what do you want me to do?"

Duan Tianya said, "This friend of mine doesn't like to talk. Just treat it as talking to me, but you still need to help me find out some things. " As he spoke, he took out two silver ingots from his pocket and said, "This is your reward for finding out things. "

When the coachman saw the silver, he was naturally overjoyed. This much silver was enough for him to earn for more than a year. After a moment of happiness, the carriage driver could not help but worry, "Will there be any danger?"

Duan Tianya said, "If you are afraid, you can choose not to do it. "

The carriage driver gritted his teeth and said, "Do it. As long as you are willing to pay, I dare to do anything. "

Duan Tianya laid on the carriage. The carriage had been renovated. The cotton cushion wrapped in satin was laid on the ground. It was very comfortable. There was a roof on the carriage with satin cloth. The satin had been soaked with wax to prevent it from raining again. The two horses that were originally riding on them were slowly following behind the carriage.

Along the way, they admired the beautiful scenery. The dense forest that had been washed by the rain, the surging streams of water, the lush and verdant mountains, as well as the pedestrians who had been suffering from the mud.

Duan Tianya let a pair of little beggars and siblings who were hurrying on their way onto the carriage. They were not old, and their older brother was only fourteen or fifteen years old. As for the younger sister, she was only around eight or nine years old. Because her body was dirty, she was afraid of dirtying the satin mat, so the siblings seemed very reserved.

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I don't eat people, so why are you looking at me like that?"

After a while, the older brother said, "One look and I can tell you are rich. We are afraid. "

Duan Tianya smiled again. "If you are afraid, why do you dare to take my car?"

The older brother mustered up his courage and said, "Because younger sister can't walk anymore. "

Duan Tianya smiled and did not ask any more questions. However, he was deeply moved by the deep affection between siblings.

The sky was not dark yet. Duan Tianya asked the coachman: "Is there an inn nearby?"

The driver said, "There is a very good inn nearby, and there is also a very good winery. Business is very good, but the wine in his house is excellent, just a little expensive. "

"Tianya Wine House?"

The driver suddenly said: "That's right, but even if we eat wine and sleep at this time, I'm afraid it will be hard to find a place to stay. "

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "Then let's go to Tianya Wine House. "

When they came to Tianya Wine House, the business here was exactly the same as what the coachman had said. There was an endless stream of people coming and going. The coachman parked the carriage and planned to stay in the carriage alone. Duan Tianya asked, "You don't want to go in with us?"

The coachman waved his hand and said: "Sir, you must be joking with me. If we go in here, we won't be able to get out without dozens of taels. I still have to feed my family after I earn these silver taels! "

Hearing the coachman's words, the pair of beggar siblings stood still, even though their stomachs were rumbling with hunger.

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "The three of you come in together! The wine and meat are all mine. "

Entering the winery, Zhang San saw Duan Tianya with a glance and hurriedly went forward and said, "Mr Duan, why are you here?"

Duan Tianya smiled and said, "I am just passing by. I need to go to Moonfang to do some things. "

Zhang San left a seat for him. He brought good wine and dishes. The coachman drank a lot of wine. He seemed very happy. Maybe this day was the day when he was most worthy of showing off.

After settling the coachman and the beggar brother and sister, Zhang San was almost done with his work. Duan Tianya asked, "Where is sister-in-law?"

Zhang San replied, "She went back to the Eight Immortals Market. There are a lot of guests there. They are going to bring some wine. "

Duan Tianya went to greet Zhang San's mother. The old man looked very good. When she saw Duan Tianya, Zhang San's mother asked, "Child, do you have something on your mind?"

Duan Tianya said, "I encountered a very troublesome matter. "

Zhang San's mother smiled and said, "It should be very difficult. "

Duan Tianya asked, "What should we do about difficult things?"

Zhang San's mother said, "Difficult things are usually very simple. It's just that people have complicated thoughts. "

There was only one sentence that made Duan Tianya suddenly enlightened. Zhang San's mother was like a bright lamp, always illuminating his path when Duan Tianya was in the dark.
