Chapter 60: Runner (2/2)
The man responded but didn't move.
Zhao Ning looked at him suspiciously, not understanding why he was still pestering here.
”Stretch out your hand.” The man glanced at the unconscious person.
Unexplainedly, Zhao Ning raised his right hand, only to see Huang Jinlei raised his hand and rolled up the wet sleeves that he didn't know when he fell off.
”The other one.”
Zhao Ning stupidly handed it over. When he reacted, the man had already left.
Zhao Ning's face turned red suddenly, and he looked down at his sleeves, bit his lip, and continued to wash the bowl absently.
Little did he know that this scene happened to be watched by Zhao Ama, who had been observing Huang Jinlei, but Zhao Ama's eyes flickered, and he looked at the two people with unknown expressions, shaking his head and nodding for a long while, not knowing what he was thinking.
When I went back that day, Zhong Ziqi felt that something was wrong with Zhao Ning. He didn't know what he was thinking. He was absent-minded at everything, and sometimes blushed.
Zhong Ziqi curiously leaned her face face to face: ”Xiao Ning, are you in love?”
Zhao Ning returned to his anger and said, ”You're just getting hot!” This person can say anything.
Zhong Ziqi sat down Shiran: ”Aren't you looking lascivious, why are you thinking about it? Which savage man do you want?”
Zhao Ning blushed again when he was choked by Zhong Ziqi's explicit words: ”What are you talking about? What wild man, go cook now, I'm hungry!”
Zhao Ning pushed his arm to the kitchen in anger.
Zhong Ziqi joked and said, ”Oh, my face is pretty thin.”
It's rare that Zhao Ning didn't whirl around him like he did in the past. There is really a problem, but since he is embarrassed, he will not ask for it. Sooner or later, he will talk about it.
To say that what Zhao Ning thinks about is the scene that happened today, mainly because he, as a brother who has not been out of the pavilion, usually helps in the store, but he has never been so close to a strange man. How can we not let our minds think wildly after having had contact and interaction?
But fortunately, Zhao Ning is a big-hearted person, and it didn't take long for him to stop caring, and he continued to have fun with Zhong Ziqi.

Let’s talk about Zhao Zhengan, who is far away in the south of the Yangtze River. It was the first time to run business with the caravan. They are now resting in a small city called Yongquan City. Its scale is at best a circle larger than the average town. This town is rich in one. Planting plants has great medicinal value, and it can be said that there is almost no other places.
The leader of the caravan is called Shen Chong. Everyone is used to calling him Lord Shen. He is one of Shen Yubei's henchmen. Shen Chong didn't express any opinion about this person who was suddenly inserted by the master. He had already heard that this was the son of the eldest master. He came from the north and wanted to follow the businessmen.
At first, Shen Chong looked at his young age and thought that he might just come to have fun, and follow their eyes to make a little money. Not very concerned.
However, what he gradually noticed was that this kid and his kind, modest and studious attitude made him feel good, and he felt that this kid was calm enough. They walked through a few small towns a few days ago, and they also had some firsts in the team. People who follow the business once will buy something they find strange and weird, and then sell it to the next city to earn a meal.
But this kid was there, he just watched and didn't buy it, which had to make him interested. He wanted to see what this kid would meet.
Zhao Zhengan actually didn't know what he wanted. He didn't encounter anything that made him feel valuable before, so he didn't buy it either.
The group of them stopped at an inn in Yongquan Town. Zhao Zhengan and Shen Chong said that they would go out as usual.
Shen Chong nodded, and stopped Zhao Zhengan when he walked out the door: ”Boy, this place is rich in a kind of medicinal material, you can bring some, and our caravan will also buy it.”
Zhao Zhengan nodded: ”Master Xie Shen told me that the kid took it down.”
Yongquan City is not too big but it is very lively. Zhao Zhengan wandered in the busy street and soon saw the medicinal materials Shen Chong said, the green cross-toothed leaves, the rhizomes are slightly slender, but they have developed and dense heels. It is because it has grown a lot of small red fruits, which are hard to the touch, but it is said that the fruits are more effective than other parts.
Zhao Zhengan came to be interested in buying this plant. He remembered the road map Shen Chong showed him. It recorded the route of their trip and the details of each town. After a few more stops, it was a big city. There are four gates for different purposes. The gates to the east are in an uninhabited area for more than a dozen miles.
But a little further east is a military camp. I heard that there are many bandits in that area, so I stationed a military camp to suppress bandits. They will buy food, clothing, and medical materials in this city.
The medicinal materials that Shen Chong bought are sold here, and they can make a fortune every year. Naturally, Zhao Zhengan would not miss such a good opportunity, so he bought a batch of money and asked someone to send it back to the inn.
Then he wandered around this place again.
”Brother, buy a hairpin, it's very cheap.” The seller was a man who looked more than 40 years old. He had a haggard face and squatted alone in a corner with a piece of cloth in front of him. A variety of styles of wooden hairpins.
Zhao Zhengan walked over and squatted down, picked up a wooden hairpin and looked at it, and found that the wooden hairpin was very delicately carved, and the patterns on it were vivid. He remembered that there was an old wooden hairpin in the house that Zhong Ziqi had been using, and he hadn't noticed it. Over.
Now that it happened to be bought, he felt that such a simple and elegant hairpin was a good match for him.
”Bring me two.” Zhao Zhengan said to the man, and he thought it was good after two fingers.
The man's eyes lit up: ”Wait a minute.” The price offered by the man was a bit higher than the average wooden hairpin, but Zhao Zhengan felt it was worth it, so he didn't bargain with him, and he left after passing the money.
