Journey to the West: Invincible from the Start of Marrying a Wife
Chapter 9 Encountering Demons
"It's me!" A deep male voice came from outside the door.
"Cao Jian?" A hint of doubt appeared in Qin Changsheng's eyes.
Cao Jian also fled to Beihai County with Qin Changsheng.
However, Cao Jian was quite clever, and after arriving in Beihai County, he infiltrated the Black Tiger Gang.
They lived much more comfortably than Qin Changsheng and others.
"Why are you here?" Qin Changsheng opened the door and let Cao Jian in.
"I have some good news to tell you this time?" Cao Jian said, glancing into the room. When he saw Chen Yinyin sitting in the chair, a glint of light flashed in his eyes.
"What good news?" Qin Changsheng asked.
"Brother Sheng, our Black Tiger Gang is recruiting a batch of scouts!"
"Anyone who is young and strong can sign up!" Cao Jian said excitedly.
"A 'trolley'?" Qin Changsheng was also somewhat interested.
The Black Tiger Gang's henchmen are paid very high salaries.
Moreover, after Qin Changsheng acquired the identity of a "Tangzi" (a type of martial arts practitioner), he was able to obtain more points each day.
This significantly reduced the time it took him to master the Blood Nourishing Technique.
"Great! Once you're hired, you'll join the Black Tiger Gang!" Cao Jian said excitedly. "After two months of training within the Black Tiger Gang, you can then escort goods to Lion Camel Ridge!"
Upon hearing about Lion Camel Ridge, Qin Changsheng lost all interest.
Cao Jian may not understand how terrifying Lion Camel Ridge is, but Qin Changsheng certainly does.
The area around Lion Camel Ridge is infested with demons and monsters.
These scouts would never return from Lion Camel Ridge.
"How do I register?" Qin Changsheng asked.
"As long as you are young and strong, you can sign up for the Black Tiger Gang!" Cao Jian said.
"How many people do we need to go to Lion Camel Ridge?" Qin Changsheng asked again.
"Lion Camel Ridge is quite far away, and dozens of people go there at a time!" Cao Jian was still very excited.
"Moreover, after arriving at Lion Camel Ridge, we will register our residency there and be allocated housing!" Cao Jian continued.
Once Cao Jian finished speaking, Qin Changsheng didn't want to listen anymore.
Lion Camel Ridge is a gathering place for demons.
How could ordinary people like them possibly obtain citizenship in Lion Camel Ridge?
It probably ended up in the bellies of those demons.
"Lion Camel Ridge is too far, I'd better not go!" Qin Changsheng shook his head and said, "Being a cart driver at Black Cloud Mine is not bad either!"
"You're doing well in the Black Tiger Gang, how about you don't sign up for Lion Camel Ridge yet?" Qin Changsheng advised.
"Forget it, I'll find someone else!" Cao Jian ignored Qin Changsheng's advice and decided to go to Lion Camel Ridge to take a look.
After all, you can get citizenship there and even be allocated housing.
After Cao Jian finished speaking, he ignored Qin Changsheng and walked towards the next household.
Qin Changsheng shook his head and closed the courtyard gate again. He had already persuaded Cao Jian.
Cao Jian insisted on going to Lion Camel Ridge, and Qin Changsheng had no way to stop him.
Qin Changsheng couldn't openly tell Cao Jian that Lion Camel Ridge was full of demons.
......
Beihai County.
Inside one of the Black Tiger Gang's strongholds.
Cao Jian and several young men were drinking and eating meat here.
Compared to miners, these people are living a much better life.
"Brother Cao, since Qin Changsheng doesn't want to go, let him be!"
"What a pity! I was planning to treat him to meat and drinks!"
"Yinyin really followed the wrong person!"
"If I followed Brother Cao, I'd definitely live a life of luxury!"
The group drank wine and ate meat.
"Heh!" Cao Jian chuckled coldly twice before saying, "Since he's unwilling to go to Lion Camel Ridge, then forget it!"
"That's right, when you get to Lion Camel Ridge, you not only get a house, but also a household registration!" Everyone chimed in.
"Come on, let's not talk about Qin Changsheng anymore. Let's drink. In ten days, we'll be setting off for Lion Camel Ridge!" Cao Jian raised his glass.
Everyone stood up.
.......
Ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
Qin Changsheng had lived a very peaceful life for the past ten days.
He would take a bus to Beihai County every day.
However, there was one more thing that made Qin Changsheng very happy.
After a ten-day wait, his points have reached 114.
If he gains another 300 points, he will be able to upgrade his Blood Nourishing Technique to its highest level.
On this day, Qin Changsheng, Liu Cheng, and others arrived in Beihai County once again.
Upon arriving in Beihai County, they saw a large procession emerging from the county.
"Captain Liu, where are these people going?" Er Gouzi asked curiously.
"They're escorting goods to Lion Camel Ridge!" Liu Cheng said.
Qin Changsheng also looked towards the group and spotted Cao Jian among them.
In just ten days, Cao Jian seemed to have gained weight, which showed that he had been eating very well.
Cao Jian also saw Qin Changsheng, but he ignored Qin Changsheng and looked up at the sky.
The procession was enormous, and it took them more than ten minutes to pass through the city gate.
"Let's go, let's go report!" Captain Liu drove the oxcart toward the manor.
Qin Changsheng and the others followed behind Liu Cheng.
After staying in Beihai City for more than ten minutes, the group drove the oxcart towards the Black Cloud Mine.
I don't know why, but on the way back, a thick fog suddenly rolled in.
I couldn't see the way back at all when I looked up.
After walking for a while, I suddenly heard a series of crying sounds coming from ahead.
Qin Changsheng felt something was strange. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young and beautiful girl lying on the ground, looking very disheveled.
Upon seeing the woman, Liu Cheng's expression changed drastically, and he whispered, "Hurry up, don't stop the car!"
After saying this, Liu Cheng drove the oxcart quickly into the distance.
Qin Changsheng didn't dare to say anything more and followed behind Liu Cheng.
However, a driver named Er Gou stopped and asked the girl, "Miss, what's wrong?"
"Waaah... I accidentally got lost. Could you take me home, young master?" the girl asked, looking up.
"Okay, okay...come on up, I'll take you home!" Er Gouzi said with a smile.
As the woman got into Er Gou's car, the thick fog ahead completely disappeared.
However, Er Gou and the woman both disappeared from everyone's sight.
No one dared to talk, and they just drove forward. In their haste, they even took the wrong turn and didn't arrive at the mine until noon.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the mine gate.
Liu Cheng then pulled Qin Changsheng and the others aside and said, "We just encountered demons. Er Gouzi is probably in grave danger!"
"After you get back, take a bath with realgar water, lest demons come looking for you!"
After giving some instructions, Liu Cheng led everyone to find Chen Hu.
Upon hearing this, Chen Hu's expression changed slightly.
"Go back and get some rest today!"
"We'll catch the train early tomorrow morning!"
Chen Hu didn't dare let everyone continue driving, and only told them to go back and rest.
.....
"Chang Sheng, why are you leaving work so early today?" Chen Yinyin's eyes lit up with joy when she saw Qin Chang Sheng approaching.
"It's nothing, there wasn't much ore today, Manager Chen let us finish work first!" There was still a trace of fear on Qin Changsheng's face.
If it weren't for Er Gouzi's kind words, Qin Changsheng might have been the one who suffered.
At the same time, Qin Changsheng would not tell Chen Yinyin about his encounter with demons.
Because Chen Yinyin can't help at all, and will only make her worry.
"Husband, you rest here for a bit, I'll go cook!" Chen Yinyin stood up and walked towards the kitchen.
"Yinyin, do we have realgar at home?" Qin Changsheng suddenly asked.
"No!" Chen Yinyin shook her head.
Qin Changsheng didn't dwell on it too much; he decided to go to Beihai County to buy realgar first thing tomorrow morning.
He couldn't believe that the demon would find him so quickly.
More than an hour later, Qin Changsheng finished his dinner and was about to rest when he suddenly discovered that a thick fog had inexplicably rolled in outside.
Faint cries could be heard coming from the fog.
"Husband, why is it foggy outside all of a sudden?" Chen Yinyin asked curiously, looking outside.
"It's probably going to rain tomorrow, you should go and rest!" Qin Changsheng's expression was very serious.
