The next morning, shortly after the sun rose, everyone had already gathered at the venue.
At this time, some traveling merchants had arrived at the venue with their goods. Li Xifeng and his four companions seemed to be very familiar with them. While greeting these traveling merchants, they sent some workers to help them unload the goods. The seven guards on Ye Li's side were also ready to start their work.
Ye Li had never had any relevant experience, so he told Meng Sheng directly that he was willing to follow Meng Sheng's arrangements. After all, the other party's team of talisman masters often served as guards and were very familiar with related matters.
After seeing Ye Li's generosity at the dinner table, Meng Sheng and his friends began to have a better impression of him. While arranging the patrol areas for him, they also patiently explained to him some precautions that newcomers did not know.
After some arrangements, Meng Sheng divided the entire patrol area into seven parts. He personally patrolled the central area where there might be the most people. The peripheral areas surrounding the center were divided into six parts, each of which was assigned to the responsibility of the remaining six people, including Ye Li. Ye Li was arranged in the area in the north direction.
Just when Ye Li walked to the area he was responsible for and began to familiarize himself with the scope, Li Xifeng walked towards him and soon came to his side.
"Brother Ye, an old friend of mine will be here soon. He is a traveling merchant who specializes in purchasing and selling demon pills below the Spiritual Pill Stage. I will introduce you to him.
He has a lot of stuff there, you can buy Spiritual Sea Stage Demon Pills from him."
Li Xifeng pulled Ye Li and said with a smile.
Hearing Li Xifeng's words, Ye Li hurriedly said: "This is really great, thank you Uncle Li."
Li Xifeng waved his hand and said, "Brother Ye, you are a master of the Spiritual Sea Stage and you are willing to serve as my bodyguard. You came here for the demon pill, so of course I have to help you solve the problem.
What's more, it's all thanks to you that we were able to build such a large canopy and improve the conditions of the venue to the best. You have helped us a lot.
Okay, Brother Ye, I just came to inform you. When my old friend comes, I will take you to see him. I will go back to the door to greet the guests first. "
"Ah, Uncle Li, please go ahead. I'll be on patrol here. When you're free, just come here and call me."
After Li Xifeng left, Ye Li walked back and forth in his own area.
There are not many people coming now, and the whole venue is rather deserted, with only a few merchants displaying their goods for sale.
It was not until the sun rose completely high that a large number of peddlers poured into the venue and quickly filled the entire venue.
Except for the special area in the middle with a wooden table, the merchants around can only prepare their own wooden tables or directly lay a cloth on the ground to display their goods.
Li Xifeng and his team had been promoting this trade fair for a long time. After all the traveling merchants arrived, customers who wanted to buy goods also came one after another, and the whole venue began to become lively.
Ye Li saw from afar that Li Xifeng's old farmer-like face was now full of excitement and joy. For this old man, the fact that this trade fair could attract enough businessmen and guests was his greatest success.
And Ye Li's own job was indeed very easy, just as he had thought before.
There was basically no one causing trouble or disrupting order at the venue. Everything was fair. He patrolled back and forth until the afternoon and did not encounter any problems.
After a long while, Li Xifeng finally walked towards him again.
"Brother Ye, I'm so sorry, I was busy with other things just now and almost forgot about you.
My old friend has already arrived. I will take you to see him now. You can buy and sell Spiritual Sea Stage Demon Pills from him."
Li Xifeng showed an apologetic look on his face. While speaking, he pulled Ye Li and prepared to leave.
Ye Li looked at the crowd around him and said, "Uncle Li, I'm still on patrol. It would be bad if I just left here."
Li Xifeng waved his hand and said, "It's okay. I've told Meng Sheng about it. He will help you keep an eye on the situation here."
After saying that, Li Xifeng dragged Ye Li through the crowd and came to a wooden table in the central area.
Lin Shiyu and Hongdou were also here, and they were talking to a lame old man behind the table.
"Grandpa Mu, you didn't keep your word. You said you would bring a little rabbit for Hongdou this time."
Hongdou gently tugged at the old man's sleeve and said with a pout.
The old man called Grandpa Mu looked to be at least eighty years old, with a white beard and long eyebrows, and his hair was almost falling out.
But he was very energetic, his eyes were bright and his voice was loud.
"Oh, my dear little Hongdou, your Grandpa Mu really didn't forget to bring you a little rabbit. It was because the bumpy ride was too long and the little rabbit couldn't stand it and died. Grandpa Mu will find you another one when he has time, okay?"
The old man surnamed Mu seemed to be a little afraid that Hongdou would be unhappy, and he became at a loss when he saw her pouting.
"Brother Mu, you don't have to be so troublesome, Hongdou is just a little noisy.
If you really bring her a rabbit, she will get used to it after playing with it for two days and will definitely ask me to take care of it again."
Lin Shiyu said to the old man surnamed Mu with a helpless look on his face.
Listening to Lin Shiyu's words, the old man surnamed Mu stroked his beard and sighed, saying: "Alas, I really love Hongdou. My granddaughter was her age when she was young. If it weren't for..."
When he spoke the last part, the old man surnamed Mu's tone was filled with sadness, and he even choked up a little.
At this time, Ye Li had already followed Li Xifeng over. He had heard the conversation just now. What he didn't expect was that this 80-year-old man would start crying immediately, with tears already welling up in his eyes.
He didn't mean to laugh at the other person, he just felt that such people were rare. After all, there were many people who could laugh when they were told to laugh in front of others, but very few who could cry when they were told to cry.
“Grandpa Mu, don’t be sad, Hongdou doesn’t want the little rabbit anymore.
Although Sister Hui is gone, you still have me, Hongdou. I am also your granddaughter."
Hongdou, who was always naughty, now showed an understanding look and began to comfort the old man named Mu.
Hearing Hongdou's comfort, the old man surnamed Mu quickly put away the sad expression on his face, then reached out and touched Hongdou's little head, saying: "Okay, Grandpa Mu is not sad, Grandpa Mu will listen to little Hongdou."
When the old man surnamed Mu looked at Hongdou, his eyes were full of warmth.
"Brother Mu, long time no see!"
Li Xifeng had already brought Ye Li to the front of the group of people. He greeted the old man surnamed Mu.
The old man surnamed Mu also noticed Li Xifeng at this moment, and a hearty smile appeared on his face, saying: "Brother Xifeng, long time no see.
I have to congratulate you. This trade fair seems to be very successful. You have successfully taken the first step towards your goal. "
