Wandao long distance

Chapter 102 Investigation
It was already spring at this time, and in Lizhou, the snow had already melted, everything was growing, and it was full of vitality.

But it is not the case near White Snake Mountain. The ground is indeed caressed by the spring breeze, but the mountain is still covered with snow.

Here is still the foot of the mountain, but the snow melts slowly, usually in late spring and early summer. As for the higher places, it is said that it does not melt all year round, and it is always entrenched on the top of the mountain like a white snake.

In the cold and cold night, the night is about to fall, the air at night is so cold that even breathing makes people have a headache, as if there are needles in the wind.

Li Qi took a breath, and then exhaled, his eyes unconsciously looked at the exhaled white air, and in an instant, the white air was blown away by the cold wind, and the wind here seemed to never stop.

Instead of going back to sleep, he found a water source and began to practice. He practiced carp flow in the water, and at the same time swallowed the energy of the source of water, and then refined it into inner energy through movements.
As for the matter of practice, one must not stop every day, and it is impossible to delay because of rushing.

It was cold, and the wind from the mountains was howling.

However, even if this is the case, there are always people in this place, and you can see occasional mining teams passing by, and you can also see the smoke of the village in the distance, but there are no lights.

After practicing until late at night, Li Qi got dressed and walked all the way back to his car.

His living conditions are better than most of Jing's family members, at least a single ox cart.

And some Jing family members even pitched tents outside because there were not enough ox carts, which was much colder.

Walk back to the bullock cart and carefully open the door.

Shen Shuibi was already asleep.

The rabbit curled up on the quilt and was blown by the cold wind from the door, as if it had been stimulated by something, it sucked its nose and curled up even tighter, but it didn't wake up at all and still slept soundly.

Isn't she invulnerable to cold and heat?Will it still be cold?
Li Qi was a little puzzled, but he didn't wake her up. Instead, he quickly closed the door and lay down himself.

When he was practicing, he had already washed himself at the water source, so he fell asleep right away.

Looking at the roof of the car, took a deep breath slowly, and glanced at Shen Shuibi again.

The rabbit's quilt was kicked off, it is estimated that this is a natural ability, the rabbit kicked the quilt.

Li Qi stretched out his hand and gently pulled her quilt up a little.

In the process of pulling, Li Qi could feel that the quilt was warm and soft, exuding a faint fragrance, and it was sprinkled with sesame oil for anti-mold and insect repellent, and the price was quite high.

This sesame oil was bought by Li Qi, and it was sold in Jing's caravan, Shen Shuibi liked it very much.

Well, go to sleep.

The subsequent journey was also very smooth, with two ninth-rank escorts, it was difficult to encounter danger in these places, so the four days passed quickly, and Li Qi received four gold rewards.

After helping the Jing family caravan to load all the goods onto the cargo ship, Jing's family said goodbye to Li Qi one after another. Jing Yan and Jing shopkeeper also thanked Li Qi and Shen Shuibi for their guidance.

The two sides greeted each other, and the shopkeeper cupped his hands and said: "Li Zhuangshi and Lingmei, if you have a chance in the future, you can go to Songguo, and I will definitely treat you well."

"If you have a chance, you must come. The shopkeeper and Eldest Sister Jing have a smooth journey. Eldest Sister, don't be impulsive, lest you have to run overnight again." Li Qi joked.

Jing Yan snorted coldly and didn't answer, but judging by her attitude, if this kind of thing happens again in the future, she probably won't hold back.

The two sides bid farewell, and Li Qi watched the other party's ship set sail, pass through Lishui, leave White Snake State, go to Lizhou, and then return to Song Country along Lishui River. Things that are not produced, presumably can make a lot of money in one trip.

As the ship set sail, Li Qi turned his head and glanced at Shen Shuibi: "Miss Shen, let's go! Let's go back, the old horse should be fattening up, go back and start off!"

"Yeah!" As soon as it was said that she was going to leave, Shen Shuibi also regained her spirits.

The two of them turned around immediately, and were about to rush back to Shewei County on foot. Li Qi beckoned, and Shen Shuibi immediately understood, and jumped onto Li Qi's back, letting him walk on his back.

Bullock carts are slower than humans
Carrying Shen Shuibi on his back, the ox cart would take four days, and he could get back in two days at most.

Li Qi carried the rabbit on his back, and the rabbit carried the basket on his back. With such a strange posture, the two quickly set off and set off back to Shewei County.

--------

Almost at the same time.

In Shewei County, the inn with stables that Li Qi once rented.

"My lord... this, this is, that, that man's horse." The innkeeper was sweating profusely, and kept bowing to the catcher in front of him.

"Eight feet tall at the shoulders, pure black coat, good horse, who can ride such a good horse, who is the son of a high school? Did he ever say that?" The policeman raised his eyes and asked the shopkeeper casually.

But the shopkeeper didn't dare to answer casually, he quickly cupped his hands and replied: "I haven't heard that person said it, but there is a woman next to him, she is extremely beautiful, I think it is not a concubine that ordinary people can afford."

"Extremely beautiful? How beautiful? How old are you, what accessories do you have on your body? What material are the clothes made of?" the policeman asked again.

"He is as beautiful as a fairy, his skin is as tender as suet, and his face seems to be shining, but the accessories are a bit shabby, there is only a copper hairpin, and the clothes are made of cotton cloth, but they are like silk gauze when worn on the body, full of immortality. "The shopkeeper replied truthfully immediately.

The catcher frowned, unable to make up his mind for a while.

A tall horse, a beautiful concubine, and a ninth-rank herself, no matter how you look at it, she looks like a son of a high school, so she can't be easily offended.

But he was dressed plainly and had no followers.

What kind of reasoning is this?

"Maybe there are taboos in the cultivation method? Do you have to abide by some precepts?" The police guessed in his heart.

It may be so.

But in this case, why did he hook up with Jing's family for some money? Did he really go there for the money?
One possibility is that he actually doesn't have much money, and maybe he doesn't have much status, and Mei Ji and Ma are picked up.

However, the possibility is extremely small and can be completely ruled out.

Then, the second possibility is that he actually knew about the conflict between Jing's family and the county magistrate, so he deliberately went to help.

But in that case, what is the reason for keeping the horse?
caveat?

deterrence?

Or was there some other reason, like he just didn't realize it?
This horse is very thin and still fattening, obviously just after a long journey, does this have something to do with this person's purpose?
There are a lot of doubts...

Hmm... But, don't startle the snake just yet.

First report this information to the county magistrate, and then don't make judgments on your own.

Thinking of this, the policeman coughed dryly: "Then you can take care of me, and I won't disturb your business. Remember to pay taxes on time and don't delay."

The store owner quickly agreed, and then sent the arrester out of the store respectfully.

Then, he let out a long sigh of relief, and it was a little strange.

Usually these arresters don't move, why are they here today?
