Start a mysterious island

Chapter 302: The world is not peaceful after all. I have food in my hands and don’t panic in my heart (two chapters in one)

Eating watermelon is a refreshing and refreshing thing. In hot summer, a bite of iced watermelon after a meal can not only help digestion, but also make the body and mind feel cold and comfortable.

In the living room, Lin Li and Su Yue were sitting on the sofa eating iced watermelon after lunch.

"Wow, wow, wow..."

Lin Li picked up a large piece of watermelon and ate it in big mouthfuls. He finished a large piece of watermelon in a few seconds.

Su Yue spit out the watermelon seeds into the trash can, and watched Lin Li pick up a large piece of watermelon from the fruit plate. She said, "Lin Li, you eat watermelon without spitting out watermelon seeds?!!!"

"Why are you vomiting watermelon seeds? It's so troublesome, it won't affect your body, and it came out the next day..." Lin Li replied casually.

Then, he ate the watermelon in his hand and swallowed the watermelon seeds together with the watermelon meat.

"..." After hearing Lin Li's answer, Su Yue rolled her eyes at him and said with disgust, "Can you please stop saying things like this when eating? It affects your appetite..."

"Uh-huh." Lin Li, who was eating a lot of watermelon, responded vaguely, obviously not taking what Su Yue said into consideration.

Seeing Lin Li's vague response, Su Yue could only helplessly shake her head, then continued to take a bite of watermelon, spit out the watermelon seeds, and ate slowly.

"Huh..." Lin Li took a long breath after eating three large slices of watermelon in a row, and stopped eating.

I was quite full from the barbecue just now. After three large slices of watermelon, I was almost at my limit. If I continued to eat, my stomach would become uncomfortably bloated.

He went to the bathroom to wash his hands. When he came out, he said to Su Yue, who had not finished a piece of watermelon, "I'm going home."

Su Yue was spitting watermelon seeds into the trash can. When she heard Lin Li coming out of the bathroom after washing her hands and telling her that she wanted to go home, she quickly raised her head and looked at Lin Li and said, "Let's play games together for a while, and you can go back." Well!"

"Okay, then you eat quickly and play a few games, then I'll go home and take a nap." Lin Li nodded, then sat down on the sofa next to Su Yue, took the remote control, and changed the TV channel.

…………

At 1:30 in the afternoon, Lin Li came out of Su Yue's house and walked toward his community.

Originally, it was very hot outside in the afternoon, but because of the artificial rainfall in the morning, the temperature on the street is now pretty good, at most 34 to 5 degrees.

Occasionally, the wind blows in my face. Although the wind is still hot, it is much cooler than the temperature of the previous few days.

Ten minutes later, Lin Li returned to his home.

Go to the cabinet air conditioner in the living room, take out the cooling device from the mysterious island, activate it and place it on top of the air conditioner.

"call……"

The surrounding temperature dropped rapidly, and after a while, the living room became chilly.

Lin Li lay on the sofa in the living room and fell asleep.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Li slowly opened his eyes after taking a nap for more than an hour. He took his mobile phone from the coffee table and checked the current time.

I realized it was still early and there was still quite a while before dinner.

Lin Li was very energetic after such a short nap, and he couldn't fall asleep if he continued to sleep. After thinking about it, he decided to go to Dongwu City in the spiritual world before dinner.

"Now that all the pearls on hand have been sold out, for future transactions, let's go to Dongwu City to replenish a batch of goods..." Lin Li muttered to himself, and then the thoughts in his mind moved, and he who was lying on the sofa disappeared instantly. .

"call……"

The refrigeration device that I forgot to turn off is still running, maintaining the temperature in the living room and keeping the living room in a comfortable environment.

…………

In the vast spiritual world, in the country called Chu State, in Dongwu City near the border, in an inaccessible alley, a man wearing gray linen clothes and sunglasses appeared out of thin air.

It is cloudy in Dongwu City today. In the past, the scorching sun, which was much bigger than the sun on the Blue Star, was hidden by thick clouds today.

"call……"

A strong wind poured into the alley, making Lin Li's clothes rustle. Compared with the wind on the streets of Rongcheng on Blue Star, this wind in Dongwu City was quite cool.

Lin Li took off his sunglasses and took him back to the mysterious island. He walked out of the alley and muttered to himself.

"The black arched stone door on the mysterious island emits a golden light that blinds people's eyes every time it is activated. It would be nice if the brightness of its light could be controlled. "

After Lin Li came out of the alley, he went to the roadside to see if there were any empty cars passing by.

He was going to stop an empty car and go to the restaurant selling oysters.

Although it is possible to walk to the restaurant, his current location is a long way from the restaurant, and it will take a long time to walk there.

It's okay if you run, but although running takes less time in the past, it's not good to meet others to discuss business while sweating.

While waiting for the bus on the side of the road, Lin Li saw some water on the street. He looked up at the gloomy sky. It seemed that not long ago, there had been a heavy rain in Dongwu City in the spiritual world.

Generally speaking, Dongwu City is much cooler than Rongcheng now. Both cities also had a heavy rain not long ago, but the current outdoor temperature in Rongcheng is thirty-four or five degrees, while Dongwu City is at most thirty Spend.

A brand-new carriage was driving from a distance. The driver saw a man waving to him on the roadside. Knowing that business was coming, he immediately drove the carriage over and stopped in front of the person.

"Xu."

"Sir, where are you going?" the driver asked Lin Li after the carriage stopped.

The driver was a middle-aged man in his forties, with dark skin, thick eyebrows and big eyes, who looked quite honest.

Moreover, he has a lot of calluses on his hands. Looking at the brand-new carriage he is driving now, it seems likely that the coachman's previous job was physical labor.

"I want to go to Willow Alley, how much will it cost?" Lin Li reported the address.

"Fifteen coppers." The thick-browed coachman thought about how far away the Wicker Alley was and quoted the price.

"It cost me twenty coppers to get here from Willow Alley before, but now it only costs fifteen coppers. The price quoted by this driver is much lower! It seems that he is a novice."

After listening to the price quoted by the thick-browed coachman, Lin Li thought about it in his mind and said with a smile, "Okay."

"Sir, please get in the car." The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes greeted Lin Li to get in the car.

After Lin Li got on the car, he immediately shook the reins in his hands, drove the horse pulling the cart to turn around, and then drove towards the location of Willow Alley.

"Da da da……"

The horse's hooves trampled on the road paved with bluestone bricks, making a crisp and loud sound.

Because the sun in the sky was covered by thick clouds, and there had been a heavy rain before, the temperature on the street was not too hot, so at this time, there were many people traveling and coming and going, which was very lively.

The interior of the car is very cool because there is a refrigeration device installed on the roof. The style of the refrigeration device is the same as the one Lin Li bought before. It is the latest model of convenience device.

"Sir, the heavy rain that fell last night was really heavy!"

The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes talked to the guests in the carriage while driving the carriage.

Drivers from two different worlds drive different vehicles, but because they have the same profession, they inevitably have similarities in talking to customers.

Lin Li heard the taxi driver in this world talking to him, talking about things he didn't know, so he could only nod in agreement.

"Yes! The rain last night was really heavy..."

The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes continued, "If it hadn't been for the city lord who has insisted on renovating the drainage facilities in the city for so many years.

Yesterday's heavy rain will definitely turn many places in Dongwucheng into lakes. "

"Yeah." Lin Li continued to nod. As for the city lord of Dongwu City, he took a carriage several times, and the drivers would mention some stories about him.

Why led the guards in the city to kill the strange beasts that often harassed Dongwu City, bringing peace to Dongwu City for more than ten years.

Vigorously develop commerce and make this city near the border of Chu State the most prosperous commercial city in the border area.

And allocate funds to build charity halls to take care of the helpless elderly and children.

From what these coachmen said and how they told these things, Lin Li could see the respectful expression on the lord of Dongwu City.

The lord of Dongwu City is a powerful practitioner, and he is very loved by the residents of Dongcheng.

Think about it, in this feudal society, there is such a wise city lord. As long as he is a normal person, no one will dislike such a city lord.

"Master, you must have just become a driver, right?" Lin Li asked.

"Yes! I just became a coachman last week, and I have been farming before." The coachman with thick eyebrows and big eyes said with a smile.

"So now that you are working as a coachman, what will happen to your family's land?"

"The land at home will continue to be planted! Because it is not the busy time for farming now, I want to be a driver at this time and earn some money to support the family..."

"That's it! That's good. Find a side job and make more money. It's a good idea."

"I also have to thank the City Lord for this." The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes said with gratitude.

Lin Li felt confused for a while, but before he could ask, the other party explained it to him.

"The Lord of the City has issued a new decree. When farmers buy carriages, they can pay only 30% of the purchase fee up front, and the City Lord's Palace will help advance the remaining 70%, and then repay the money to the City Lord's Palace in installments with very low interest. alright.

If it weren't for the new car purchase decree issued by the city lord, which asked me to buy this carriage in full at once and install a refrigeration device on the carriage, I wouldn't be able to afford this money. "The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes said with a smile.

"Isn't this just a loan to buy a car? I didn't expect this city lord to come up with such a decree. It's quite impressive!" Lin Li understood instantly after hearing the thick-browed coachman's explanation.

After all, this type of shopping is very common on Blue Star. If you look for any elementary school student, they might be able to understand it immediately after hearing what the driver said.

Afterwards, as usual, Lin Li chatted with the driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes who took the initiative to talk, collecting all kinds of information about the world.

However, this middle-aged man, who had been farming at home and working as a coachman as a side job, knew far less information than the coachmen Lin Li had ridden in the previous carriages.

"I have been earning quite a good income from being a coachman for more than a week. I have already thought about it. I will discuss it with my family later. If I don't succeed, I will just become a coachman.

After all, the money earned as a driver is much more than the hard work of growing food in the fields and selling it. "

The thick-browed coachman chatted with Lin Li, and then they talked about his idea of ​​changing careers.

"Your idea is okay! However, there is a saying in my hometown, which is that if you have food in your hand, you will not panic in your heart.

After all, this world is not peaceful. If you encounter some emergencies and you have money, you may not be able to buy food! So I suggest you that the farmland at home should not be left abandoned, food must still be grown..." Lin Li said with a smile.

"You have food in your hands and don't panic in your heart. This is a very good saying. My husband reminded me that I am a scholar at first glance, and my words are reasonable.

I discussed it later with my family. Even if I change my career as a coachman, I will still continue to cultivate the farmland at home, but it is impossible to plant all the farmland like before. "

The driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes chewed on what Lin Li said casually, and then praised him very sincerely.

Scholars are everywhere in my place now... Lin Li said to himself after hearing the coachman's praise.

However, he was quite happy when he heard the other party's sincere praise. After all, no one doesn't like to hear others say good things about themselves, and the good things said by the other party are sincere.

"Da da da……"

The horses pulled the carriage at a constant speed.

This driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes has only been working in the "taxi" industry for a week and is not very familiar with the routes.

In addition, there is no mobile phone navigation in this world, so he chose a road that he thought would be closer to his destination.

Driving a carriage into a narrow alley, when the driver rushed out of the alley, a person suddenly appeared in front of him.

"careful."

When the driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes saw this, he shouted in panic, and then pulled the reins in his hand to stop the horse pulling the cart.

It's a pity that the person who appeared in front of him appeared too suddenly. Even if the driver reacted quickly, he still couldn't make the horse stop in an instant.

"boom."

The slowed-down horse bumped into a passerby, sending him flying, landing heavily on the ground, rolled several times, and lay face down, motionless.

After the driver with thick eyebrows and big eyes stopped the carriage, he looked at the passerby six or seven meters away who was hit by the horse.

Seeing the other party lying motionless on the ground, his face turned pale in an instant, and he muttered to himself in a confused manner.

"It's over, it's over, I hit someone..."
