Chapter 45: Confession
In fact, Jiang Da and the others did have something to say to him, telling him that their ship did not stop in Shiqiao Town but stopped at the pier of the town next to it, and several people came here today to find him on purpose.
It is true that the caravan people cannot return home because the river is frozen and they want to go to the Sith country to do business, but it is not easy to go to the Sith country to trade, because this is a place on the border of three countries, where dragons and snakes are mixed, and merchants who do not know people there rarely go there to do business.
Moreover, the spices and gemstones that are abundant in it are all traded by some barbarians with golden hair and blue eyes, and the language they speak is different from the language of the Xia Kingdom and the surrounding countries of the Xia Kingdom, and they can’t understand it at all, and they must have special people to translate.
Jiang Da and others had heard about the goods in this place to make money before, but because they were not familiar with it and were afraid of being scammed, they had never been there, and this time they decided to go because a colleague they knew had been there several times would be coming with them, and they dared to go on the same road together.
However, even if they know other people, since they are peers, there must be competition, and everyone is afraid that they will be pitted in terms of price if they do not understand the language at that time, so they thought of Wu Qingyuan.
“We are very familiar with that Zhu Jin, but companions can become enemies- this must be something known by Brother Wu, we can’t understand what those others say, the price is all up to Zhu Jin to help us talk with them, by how much only they would know, so we thought of you, Brother Wu, you have traveled around the world and are well-informed, I remembered that the last time on the boat, you also helped us talk to a blue-eyed man who passed by to take a boat…”
The blue-eyed weirdos mentioned by Jiang Da and others are actually Western foreigners, and at this moment, the two side’s interactions are not as frequent as modern exchanges, the language is not clear, and most people cannot understand their language.
In fact, Jiang Da and others could find someone to translate locally, but because they had never been there or were not at ease, they thought of Wu Qingyuan.
Before the end of his life, he was often abroad, and while he was not completely proficient in foreign languages, it was still no problem to exchange information and oversee interactions, even if the two worlds may have differences in ancient and modern scripts, but the oral communication was still similar, and when he first arrived, he helped them deal with a foreigner who happened to meet on the ship of Jiang Da.
And his character- Jiang Da is very trusting, remembering that Wu Qingyuan said that he went to Shiqiao Town to look for relatives, and the caravan especially ran to the town to see if they could find him, and then go the same way, after all, if there is someone on his side who understands, then he will not be afraid of being pitted by the language barrier.
“This trip only takes three months, we have arranged the itinerary on the road, and the exchange of spices and gems in the Sith Country has brought back huge profits, I wonder if Brother Wu is willing to go with us?”
Jiang Da asked while looking at Lin Amo, whose face changed slightly next to him.
Wu Qingyuan alone will naturally not have a problem, but just now Wu Qingyuan told him that he has arranged a marriage, going out for business is a very dangerous thing, and there may be something on the road at any time, if there is another way, people who want to get rich will not choose to do this to make a living, if Wu Qingyuan goes out and something happens, his future wife who has just decided to marry will be sad.
So after asking, Jiang Da added: “We live in the Jingfang Inn in Honghua Town next door, if Brother Wu thinks about it, you can come to us, we are ready to leave after the New Year…”

“Okay, I’ll think about it.”

This year he earned silver, and his son’s marriage was also decided, Lin Laogen was very happy, in addition to the silver taken out by Mrs. Lin, he also paid a lot of money himself, bought a lot of meat, sugar, and other things that he usually does not eat often to go home, he managed to fill of half an ox cart.
In addition to the gold and silver jewelry that Wu Qingyuan bought by himself, all other things were sent to the village by the shop owner to find someone, so the ox cart on the way back was crowded a little, but everyone could still sit on it and return to the village lively.
However, except for the two people, Zhou-ger and Amo, their faces were not as happy as when they first came to town in the morning, sitting next to them sullenly and worried, obviously because Jiang Da invited Wu Qingyuan just now.
It’s so dangerous to go to business, what if my cousin/brother Wu can’t come back?
The two teenagers expressed great sadness.
Especially Lin Amo- he finally waited for someone who liked himself even with his previous face, they had just arranged a kiss, if Wu Qingyuan went out standing and was carried back lying down, what should he do?
So when the ox cart arrived at the village and was about to separate, he couldn’t care about shyness, and quickly said to his father, “Dad, I’ll go and help Zhou-ger see his wedding dowries, you go back first, I’ll be back later.”
Helping Zhou-ger check out his dowries was a fake excuse, and his true purpose is to prevent Wu Qingyuan from going out to do business, and he doesn’t want Wu Qingyuan to face trouble.
“Go, go, go…..”
His ger is so proactive, Lin Laogen is very helpless, and can only helplessly nod and agree, giving the two a chance to meet and get along alone.
After Lin Laogen led the ox cart and the second part of the Lin family to leave, Lin Amo and Zhou-ger pulled Wu Qingyuan and hurried back to the Wu family’s yard.
After entering the door and locking the courtyard door, the two teenagers could no longer hold on.
“Cousin, are you really going to business?” Zhou-ger asked worriedly.
“Brother Wu, I won’t allow you to go!”
Compared with Zhou-ger’s inquiry, Lin Amo is much tougher, usually, he has always been very obedient in front of Wu Qingyuan, basically has no own opinions, and just lets Brother Wu decide, but in this matter, he suddenly exploded.
Just now, Brother Wu did not directly refuse Jiang Da, which means that he has the intention to go together, but now Wu Qingyuan is too important for him, and he will not agree.
This is the first time that Wu Qingyuan has seen such a tough attitude from him, he did not feel angry, but a little happy, he is not an ancient man with feudal thinking, he prefers and hopes that Amo has his own ideas and personality than Amo being too obedient and well-behaved.
“Amo, Axi, you sit down first and listen to me…”
But he really had some ideas about going with Jiang Da, and Wu Qingyuan motioned for the two teenagers to sit down and talk.
But this time Amo came up with a stubborn temper, standing still, and his two eyes looked at him aggrievedly.
“Brother Wu, is it okay not to go? I don’t want you to go, I don’t want you to earn silver, I, I can endure hardships, I will also earn silver, now many girls and gers in the village are looking for me to buy, and the recipe you said last time, I can also go to help others do things after learning, don’t go, what if you go and can’t come back…”
Saying that, Amo’s eyes turned red, as if he was really about to disappear, if Brother Wu was no more, he would never find a second person he liked so much, and liked him back so much as well, he would be sad to death, he would not like others anymore.
“Cousin, we still have a coal kiln, the coal kiln is also very profitable, we can also buy some land and rent it out, in the future, our family will not worry about silver, there is no need to take such a big risk…”
Zhou-ger is in the same mood, he doesn’t want to just have a relative and watch him be gone, compared to the people in the village, his cousin is already rich, and there are three cash cow coal kilns, no need to go to business, the mountain road is far too dangerous.
Seeing two teenagers who were also worried about themselves, Wu Qingyuan said that it was false if he was not moved, there were really not many people who cared about him in his past life and this life, especially in the last life of that decade, he almost forgot what it was to be cared for, he likes the feeling of it.
It’s just that this time Jiang Da’s proposal is irresistible and he wants to go and must go because he has a huge hidden danger that threatens everything he has now.
That is, he needs to find a way to solve the origin of the seeds he will take out of the space in the future and all kinds of things that are not here, so many things in the space cannot be hidden forever, but casually taking them out to attract people’s attention when he can’t explain their origins at all.
Jiang Da this time is a good opportunity, in ancient times, transportation was inconvenient, and the news was closed, resulting in many people staying in one place all their lives, and all the things outside were heard by the population without seeing it with their own eyes.
If he goes out, then he can take this opportunity to transport the things in the space back in the name of ‘commercial goods’ to whitewash, the outside is vast and rich, and he can casually make up a reason for meeting a distant merchant on the road to exchange it back, no one would doubt it, even if their suspicions could not be verified.
But if he stayed in the village all the time and never went out, and he kept taking out all kinds of rare things, which were as eye-catching as a piece of gold on the ground.
So this trip, he must go.
For the danger, he naturally has absolute certainty in his decision, he has already died once, and how precious life is he knows very well, and now there is Amo, he will never easily put his life in danger, but the two teenagers’ worries about him will not be so easy to be persuaded.
“Amo, Axi, come with me.”
After a moment of silence, Wu Qingyuan looked at the courtyard, and then the two of them went into the house.
Then he locked the door in the wary eyes of the two, and carefully checked that there was no one outside the house and the doors and windows, before turning to look at the two again and said seriously.
“Amo, Axi, don’t worry, I will agree to this matter with absolute certainty, and then I will tell you a secret, don’t be surprised, don’t be afraid, I will explain it to you slowly.”
“What, what’s going on…..”
This was also the first time that Lin Amo and Zhou-ger had seen Wu Qingyuan show such a serious expression, and both of them couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
After Wu Qingyuan finished speaking, his body suddenly disappeared out of thin air.
The author has something to say: The materials brought by him from modern times are a big hidden danger, and it is easy to be targeted if it is easily taken out, and they will be chased and killed by people in the future….. So after thinking about it for a while, he arrange a disguised excuse for running merchants, the content of the merchants will not be written too much, and the main map is still near the town of Shiqiao, that is, to solve the problem of space materials.
