"The Fighting Formula wine pot came from Li Wanquan, the boss of Li Family's Silver Ornaments in Zhengyun Ancient City. Follow this lead …"
"The mission in Linbian has become more dangerous. After confirmation, the sect has increased your reward to 150,000 yuan. The money will be transferred to you in two days. Pay attention to the money in your account …"
"In short, contact me or the military immediately if there are any accidents or risks in the mission. Tsk, where there's life, there's hope, right?"
Lou Cheng closed his eyes, recalling his master's advice. He had just received a message that the mission reward had been received. His savings had risen from a low of 840,000 yuan to 991,000 yuan.
Since the end of June until now, he had spent a lot of money. He had stayed in a five-star hotel for more than ten days, bought a couple of rings (for women), and his own martial arts expenses had increased. Eating and drinking were just a small part of it. During this period, although he had the red packets from the Yan family to supplement his expenses, the numbers in his account were still decreasing rapidly. Considering the expenses of traveling to and from America for a long time, after a long time, he was once again under financial pressure and was full of the urge to earn money.
And the one hundred and fifty thousand that the sect generously gave him was like a timely rain that moistened his wallet.
"Our next stop is Jishun. The stop time is short. Please wait at the door …"
At this moment, the sound of the broadcast made Lou Cheng, who was too lazy to even play with his phone, stand up. He grabbed the backpack on the luggage rack with one hand, walked past the strange passengers next to him, entered the corridor, and lined up to the door at the right time.
Zhengyun Ancient City was part of Jishun City. It was a popular tourist destination in recent years. Surrounded by high mountains and steep ridges, it was relatively inconvenient to get there. There was no railway, so the ancient charm was well preserved. To get there, one had to go to Jishun and other nearby places to take a bus or hire an unlicensed taxi.
Lou Cheng didn't waste his energy. After exiting the station, he went straight to the bus center and bought the earliest long-distance bus.
Less than 20 minutes later, he checked his ticket and got on the bus. Seeing that no one had pressed their seat number, he habitually found a seat at the back of the middle and left the one by the window empty.
He sat down and turned his head. Seeing the empty seat beside him, he was stunned and seemed to settle down a little.
He moved his body and sat by the window. He pulled the curtains to block out the dazzling sunlight and avoid direct exposure.
He leaned back against the back of the chair and closed his eyes. His thoughts were in a mess.
Through the sound of footsteps and the slight vibration of the vehicle, he instinctively "heard" more and more passengers.
Suddenly, someone stopped beside him and was about to speak when he coincidentally opened his eyes and turned his head.
"Hello, classmate, can I change seats?" He pointed to himself and the beautiful and slender girl beside him. "I want to sit with my girlfriend. Can you do me a favor?"
Lou Cheng took a deep look at them. He pushed his black-rimmed glasses and smiled.
"Sure, where are you?"
"Thank you, thank you." The boy and girl were overjoyed. They hurriedly expressed their gratitude and pointed to a seat in the second last row. "That's the only one left. I'm sorry."
"It's nothing. I'm alone anyway …" Lou Cheng smiled. He took his luggage with one hand and walked into the aisle.
The young couple didn't hear the emotion in his words. They just kept thanking him with their palms together.
Lou Cheng took two steps forward and saw the empty seat. He also saw the passenger by the window and his exaggerated arms in his black short-sleeved shirt.
No wonder the young couple looked for me instead of him to change seats … Lou Cheng subconsciously understood.
At this moment, the girl behind the man in the black T-shirt slipped. The mineral water bottle that she had just unscrewed shook and splashed forward.
Since the last row was higher than the front row, the splash went straight for the neck and the back of the head of the man in the black T-shirt.
However, the moment the girl slipped, the man in the black T-shirt moved to the side and coincidentally avoided the splash. The splash only drenched the spot where he was originally sitting.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The girl in the T-shirt, shorts, and sandals held the bottle firmly and stood up to apologize in panic and fear.
The man in the black T-shirt's arms could be her thighs!
Looking at the girl's pretty face and figure, the man in the black T-shirt smiled generously and said, "It's nothing. Can you give me a tissue to wipe it?"
"Sure, sure." The girl took out a stack of paper towels from her bag and handed it to him.
Lou Cheng quietly watched this episode that no one else paid attention to. He nodded thoughtfully.
Absolute Reaction and restrained Qi and blood. This is a Dan Stage fighter …
As for what rank he is, it's hard to tell from his appearance.
After wiping his seat, the man in the black T-shirt took the opportunity to start a conversation. He twisted his body and chatted with the girl and her companion about Zhengyun Ancient City. It was obvious that he had been to many places and was quite knowledgeable. The two girls listened with great interest and occasionally giggled.
During this process, Lou Cheng put his backpack on the luggage rack and sat beside the man in the black T-shirt unhurriedly, which attracted a seemingly casual and habitual glance from the man in the black T-shirt.
The man in the black T-shirt saw that Lou Cheng was about 1.76 meters tall and wore a pair of nerdy black-rimmed glasses. He wasn't particularly strong, but his face was well-defined. The man in the black T-shirt withdrew his gaze and continued to chat with the two girls in the back row.
Lou Cheng also took the opportunity to look at him. He found that the man's skin was quite dark, and the corners of his eyes and mouth showed signs of hardships. His eyebrows were short and thick, which left a deep impression.
Lou Cheng didn't look at him anymore. He closed his eyes again and lay back to rest. Some doubts surfaced in his mind.
What a coincidence. There's also a Dan Stage fighter going to Zhengyun Ancient City …
However, a Dan Stage fighter is also a person who knows how to travel. There's nothing strange about going to Zhengyun Ancient City …
Fifty minutes later, the bus arrived at the entrance of Zhengyun Ancient City under the scorching sun as the two girls became more familiar with each other and Lou Cheng looked at his phone from time to time.
Two sections of the old city wall were left here, which had a lot of local characteristics. After getting off the bus, Lou Cheng found a spot and took out his phone to take a few photos from different angles.
Just as he was about to switch the page and send the photos, the two girls in the back row approached him and said with a pleading smile, "Handsome, handsome, can you take a photo for us? Take a photo of the two of us first, then the three of us. "
Among them, the girl in the ankle-length cotton skirt pointed at the man in the black T-shirt.
"Okay." Lou Cheng smiled calmly and agreed.
This was a piece of cake for him.
He took the digital camera from the girl in shorts and sandals and studied it for a while. Then he took two steps back and waited for them to pose.
"Thank you!" The two girls shouted in unison. They took back the digital camera and lowered their heads to admire the previous photos. They also called the man in the black T-shirt over.
Lou Cheng didn't stop. He walked to the entrance of the ancient city and sent the photos he just took to Yan Zheke.
"We've arrived at Zhengyun. The environment is not bad."
Then he sent a sneering emoji and said,
"Someone just asked me to take a photo for them. That's so arrogant. They're digging their own graves! Do you think my photos are good enough? "
After sending the message, he searched for the location of the Li Family's Silver Ornaments. He walked straight and turned left at the third intersection. He saw the vintage signboard.
Lou Cheng didn't enter the store immediately. Instead, he looked around and entered the tea bar opposite. He ordered a cup of Yuanyang tea with ice and sat by the door. He pretended to be casually observing the Li Family's Silver Ornaments.
You may know a person for a long time but not his heart. No matter what he asked from Li Wanquan, who he hadn't met yet, he didn't dare to fully believe that he was telling the truth. He didn't hide anything or take advantage of the situation to smuggle goods. And under the premise that Li Wanquan hadn't committed a crime, he had a bottom line in his heart. He wouldn't use the Army Formula to scare the innocent and break their spirits. He had to ask more, prepare more, and do more homework.
After a while, Lou Cheng took a sip of ice and picked up his phone. He unlocked the screen to see if there was a reply and what it was.
The screen lit up. The only thing in the dialog box was the photo and the message he had just sent. There was nothing else.
Lou Cheng was silent for a moment. Then he remembered the time difference and felt an inexplicable emptiness in his heart. He shook his head and laughed at himself.
After about ten minutes, the two girls in the back row walked over. The man in the black T-shirt was no longer with them.
Lou Cheng habitually checked his phone again. Then he slowly got up and went to the cashier to pay the bill. He lowered his voice and asked,
"I think the silver ornament store opposite is pretty good. What do you think of the boss?"
The cashier glanced at him warily. Seeing his sincere attitude, she answered vaguely,
"He's pretty stingy and shameless …"
Her voice got softer and softer. If it weren't for Lou Cheng's excellent hearing, he wouldn't have heard the last two words.
So, he asked around. Half of the people didn't answer, and the other half kindly reminded him. He had a rough idea of Li Wanquan's appearance in his mind. Then, he walked into the silver jewelry shop and saw the shop owner who was around fifty years old with bright triangular eyes.
"What do you want to buy?" Li Wanquan asked lazily when he saw Lou Cheng walking towards him, ignoring the shop assistant.
Lou Cheng smiled and took out his phone. He clicked on the photo of the flagon with the Dou character on it and put it in front of Li Wanquan.
"I heard this is from your store?"
"Yeah." Li Wanquan perked up. His eyes lit up. "You want to buy it? There's more! "
"More?" Lou Cheng asked in surprise.
Li Wanquan didn't answer. He trotted to another counter and pulled out a small box. Inside were several purple-gold flagons with the word "Dou" engraved on them.
"Not this one. No, I don't have that feeling. Do you understand? That feeling …" Lou Cheng said carefully, not revealing too much.
Li Wanquan's face darkened. "That's my dad's work. This is mine …"
"Is your dad still working on it?" Lou Cheng asked.
"He passed away ten years ago. He only made three flagons like this. I was tricked by someone for a few dozen yuan and couldn't get a good price …" Li Wanquan curled his lips.
"Three?" Lou Cheng's heart skipped a beat as he asked in astonishment.
It's not just the one in my master's hands!
Doesn't that mean others can buy it too? That means the news could leak at any time?
Li Wanquan chuckled when he heard his question.
"Do you still want to ask my father how he made this wine pot?"
Lou Cheng stared at him with narrowed eyes. He didn't answer.
"You foreigners are so dishonest. Two groups of people came to ask about it a while ago!" Li Wanquan didn't stop until he was shocked. He even made a gesture of counting money with his hand.
