Xu Lian said he was going on a business trip.
As expected, Wang Cuiyun, Li Xiya and Yang Chaner were worried again. They had lived in their houses all their lives. At most, they could look at the people on the street through the cracks in the door, and take advantage of the brief moment in the evening to get some fresh air at the doorstep. The world they knew was limited to the tiny Green Bamboo Town, and they were always full of fear of the unknown world outside.
Fortunately, Xu Lian had returned safely from a business trip last time, which made them feel a little relieved.
Li Xiya's autumn eyes were dim, "Brother Lian, sometimes I wonder, if you hadn't been promoted and were still working as a stone mover in the mine, we would still be living in the old house on the old street. It would be hard, but we could still be together day and night.
Wang Cuiyun was unhappy. "What's so good about that kind of life? I was so hungry that I felt dizzy and had to bleed to deal with the night watchmen. Now it's so good. We have delicious food every day and don't have to bleed. Lian Ge'er gave us such a good life. You are so ignorant of your blessings. I don't know how many women envy you."
Li Xiya forced a smile and said, "Mom is right. Maybe I am not suitable for enjoying life."
Xu Lian embraced Li Xiya from behind. He had indeed spent less time with her during this period. He whispered in her ear, "Sister Xiya, I will definitely accompany you when I come back."
Li Xiya shook her head gently, "I know that Lian Ge'er is a man with great ambitions. He is not willing to live an ordinary life and wants to do something big. I don't want to be a hindrance to you, nor do I want to hold you back. You don't have to make time to accompany me."
There is no such thing as great ambition... Xu Lian just doesn't want to live in fear in this strange world. Even though he is now well-known in the remote little place of Green Bamboo Town, surrounded by beautiful wives and concubines, and money and food are easily available, in fact, his foundation is shallow and he cannot withstand any storms.
If one day the White Fox Mine Patrol no longer values him, he will be nothing.
If any changes happened within the Yijiao sect, or if they encountered a strong enemy from outside, no one would be left unscathed.
Or maybe some demons and monsters were wandering around and came to Green Bamboo Town, and the whole town would be in trouble.
In a world like this, all kinds of terrible things can happen.
Only if you have the strength to withstand the wind and waves can you avoid capsizing and drowning in this deep water world.
With his strength at the Bone Refining Stage, he can only cope with slight winds and waves. If the winds and waves are a little stronger... he will be beaten to death on the beach.
"I have to work hard, and I also need Sister Xiya to accompany me."
Xu Lian found that when he hugged Sister Xiya, he always felt warm and secure in his heart. Sister Xiya was not only his woman, but he also had a sense of dependence on her like a sister and brother.
Li Xiya was also moved unconsciously, her autumn eyes blurred, and she whispered, "Lian'er, please let me get pregnant, okay? With a child to accompany me, I won't feel empty when you are not at home."
Xu Lian immediately picked up Li Xiya and walked towards the main house.
The clouds and rain stopped only at noon.
After lunch, Xu Lian rode to the mine on horseback, explained that he was going on a business trip, and left Pu Lin in charge of the mine.
Then, he called Yang Ye to the stone house alone and asked Yang Ye to find a few acquaintances to form a patrol team led by Yang Ye. They would not have to come to the mine in the future, and their main responsibility would be to guard his house and prevent any despicable people from sneaking into his house.
If he goes to Pingyang County, the White Cat clone will definitely have to go with him. He will not be able to take care of his family and will have to consider the safety of Sister Xiya and the others.
As for Pei Zhaoxi, he doesn't need to worry. Pei Zhaoxi has been practicing martial arts since she was a child and has a very good physique. Ordinary people are no match for her at all. In addition, there are so many guards in the Pei family... It's good enough that she doesn't bully others.
After arranging everything, Xu Lian set off, and the white cat clone followed him secretly.
Arrived at the town's pier.
The stones mined from various mines were loaded onto ships here and transported to Pingyang County to build city walls or houses for wealthy families.
When the stone carriers from Xu Lian Mine saw him, they all greeted him.
"Manager Xu."
"Manager Xu."…
Xu Lian nodded slightly, said something encouraging like "Work hard, I'm counting on you", and then headed towards a brig.
Ordinary people in Luzhu Town can't even leave the town, let alone go to Pingyang County. No one knows where Pingyang County is, not even the approximate direction. It only exists in rumors.
Xu Lian didn't know either, but he knew that the boat at the dock could go to Pingyang County, so he came.
The manager in charge of the dock was an old man with a strong physique. He seemed to be a martial artist. He stretched out his hand to stop Xu Lian with an expressionless face, "Manager of the mine, what are you doing here?"
Xu Lian pointed at the brig and said, "I want to take a boat to Pingyang County. How much silver do you want?"
The old man said, "This is a boat that guides cargo ships. It doesn't carry people. You can't take a boat just because you have money."
Xu Lian asked, "I just saw someone get on the boat, why was he able to sit on it?"
The old man said calmly, "He is the son of the Lin family in the county town. He has a pass to take the ferry. Do you have one?"
Xu Lian thought for a moment and took out the purple jade token a little bit, "Can this be used as a pass?"
The old man's pupils shrank violently after taking one look, his face changed, and he hurriedly bowed and bent over, extending his hand to make a gesture of invitation, "I am blind and have offended you, sir. Please don't blame me, sir, please!"
"Don't spread my identity."
Xu Lian gave some instructions and then boarded the brig.
The old man kept his hands clasped and bent over, watching him get on board, "Don't worry, sir, I understand!"
While the two were talking, a white cat slipped onto the boat while no one was paying attention... What bad intentions could a little kitty have
In order to prevent people from leaving the town, the Yi religion not only set up an uninhabited area around the town, but also strictly controlled the ferry. It was impossible for ordinary people to leave the town. They could only live in the town all their lives and would never know the outside world.
Xu Lian walked around the deck and found it to be in tatters. There was no captain, helmsman, sailor or anyone else.

When I walked into the cabin, I saw that it was dark and damp, and covered with moss. It seemed that no one had lived there for a long time, and it was like an abandoned ship.
How can you sail a boat without someone
When he was a stone carrier, he had always wondered why the boats carrying stones followed the brig. As his horizons broadened, he guessed that there must be some monster under the water, dragging the boats.
It seemed that he heard the footsteps of Xu Lian walking in the cabin. A cabin door creaked open. Lin Chengyu leaned out half of his body and looked out. When he saw Xu Lian, he was stunned. Obviously, he did not expect to meet Xu Lian here.
"Mr. Lin, what a coincidence."
Xu Lian bowed and greeted him.
He was confused about the ferry and knew nothing about Pingyang County, so he might as well ask the young man from Pingyang County.
He is a worldly-wise person, so he should know this.
"I didn't expect to meet Manager Xu here."
Lin Chengyu bowed slightly in return. He was a little confused about Xu Lian's background.
After the Fang family and the Pei family broke off the engagement, the Pei family immediately married Pei Zhaoxi to Xu Lian. Obviously, this Xu Lian was not just a mine manager, and using the ferry required a pass, which was not something that ordinary people could get.
