Translator: 549690339
At the foot of Xigu Pass mountain, in a small town inn.
The atmosphere at Liang Sheng’s table at this moment was somewhat awkward. The food they had ordered for their trading group had not yet arrived. They had been traveling all day and were already starving. One close guard could not help but swallow his saliva as he looked at the food in front of him.
Seeing this, Liang Sheng couldn’t help but laugh, “Since this brother of mine said that he is willing to help me pay for the wine, if you don’t mind that I’ve already started eating, then let’s eat together.”
As he said this, Liang Sheng directly picked up the wine pot and filled the wine cups in front of everyone. The Trading Group Owner also immediately expressed his gratitude and then picked up his wine cup and drank it all in one go-
Refreshing.
He seemed like a free-spirited person too.
Since the Trading Group Owner had started drinking first, the two guards were no longer polite. As men, once the wine went down their throats, the atmosphere would instantly become livelier. At this moment, the Trading Group Owner also felt more talkative.
The owner of the trading group started with polite conversation, but somehow, he didn’t stop talking. Even his close guard did not seem to think there was anything wrong at this moment.
He was the eldest son of a large family in the southwest, named Chu Chen. This time, he was transporting a large amount of goods to the north. Today, he arrived at the small town of Xigu Pass, and it was getting late. Moreover, a heavy rain was approaching, so he had decided to rest at Xigu Pass for the night.
However, when Chu Chen talked about his identity as the eldest son, the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but show a bit of bitterness, and the wine in his cup seemed to taste a bit bitter as well.
After that, the food ordered by the trading group began to be served. The dishes were brought out one after another by the inn’s waiters. Liang Sheng and Chu Chen continued to eat and drink together. For some reason, Chu Chen became more and more enthusiastic in his conversation. Had it not been for his last bit of reason, he might have even revealed the details of his family.
By the time they were full and satisfied, Liang Sheng put down his chopsticks and laughed, “It’s been quite an enlightening conversation with Brother Chu. Since we’ve been getting along so well, and Brother Chu is offering to pay for my food, 1 must show some token of gratitude as well.”
He reached into his sleeve and took out an exquisite talisman paper, then handed it to Chu Chen, “I got this protective amulet from a high monk. 1 heard it’s been blessed and can help calm the mind. It seems that Brother Chu has been having trouble sleeping lately, so it might come in handy.”
Chu Chen was about to refuse, as it was only a meal after all, but Liang Sheng had already slapped the talisman paper onto Chu Chen’s hand. Chu Chen did not pay for it but directly asked the innkeeper for a room and went upstairs to rest.
Before going upstairs, Liang Sheng still laughed and said to Chu Chen, “Brother Chu, this talisman of mine is really useful, having been blessed. You’ll definitely sleep soundly tonight.”
Seeing this, Chu Chen accepted it, glanced at the talisman paper in his hand, didn’t find anything special, and simply stuffed it into his sleeve, not paying much attention. Afterward, he even generously paid for Liang Sheng’s food and wine.
It was only after he sat down again that he was surprised to find something was off. He had unexpectedly talked so much with a stranger, which didn’t seem like his usual character.
Was it because he had been under too much pressure lately? Did he want to find a stranger to pour out his feelings and relieve the stress that had been accumulating in his heart?
Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. The eldest son of the southwest family…-
At this moment, Liang Sheng had already returned to his room in the inn and sighed incessantly. He didn’t expect that there would be such similar people in the world. Could it be that there really was reincarnation? Or was it just a similar flower in the world?
Liang Sheng had no answer at this moment, but his memory began to surge, and a name emerged in his heart –
Zhang Rongjun…
This name was really too old. Chu Chen was almost exactly like a young Zhang Rongjun, even down to the habit of sticking out his little finger while holding chopsticks when eating.
That’s why he was so stunned when he first saw Chu Chen. He had originally planned to leave Xigu Pass today. Although the heavy rain was approaching, how could it come close to him?
However, Chu Chen’s appearance stirred up his emotions, so he decided to stay for one more night. Although things had changed, it might just be a similar flower. Regardless, this could be considered a “reunion of old friends.”
Moreover, under his mental guidance, Chu Chen spoke so much that he seemed to be in some trouble. Since Liang Sheng had encountered it, he might as well resolve it as a way to fulfill cause and effect.
After all, he didn’t have many friends, and Zhang Rongjun was one of them…
On the other side, Chu Chen was also puzzled at the moment. The young man had no luggage and appeared to be staying at the inn already.
But it was only after the meal that he asked the innkeeper for a room, which didn’t seem right. If they were traveling far, how could they not have any luggage?
But if they weren’t traveling far, why wouldn’t they go home instead of staying at the inn?
The small town was not very big, and Chu Chen’s trading group’s spending on food, drink, and provisions was a considerable fortune to the innkeeper. From the moment they entered, the innkeeper’s smile had not stopped.
So with Chu Chen’s years of experience traveling in the south and dealing with people, as well as the innkeeper’s desire to please his big customer, it was easy for him to draw out information.
The innkeeper actually didn’t know this Liang Sheng at all, and he had also just arrived today. In this case, there might be some problems with him as well.
Although he seemed fine during dinner, the goods this time were somewhat special, so Chu Chen had to be cautious.
“Tonight, have the brothers be on alert. I have a bad feeling. I’m afraid something might happen. As long as we reach the capital safely this time, 1 won’t let the brothers down.”
“Yes, Young Master.”
After that, Chu Chen returned to his room and looked at the gloomy sky, sighing heavily.
There would be a heavy downpour tonight, it seemed.
Night.
Liang Sheng was not asleep at the moment. It was pouring rain outside, and he was quietly standing and looking out the window into the vast darkness of the night, listening to the sound of the rain hitting the roof. But the rain seemed to be blocked by an invisible force and could not enter the room..
