Chapter 768 Who is protecting you?
As for Jiang Tongxiang, I know even less about him.
After the team caught up with him, they passed him and cleared a path for him, even removing the stones and branches on the road to make it easier for Jiang Tongxiang to travel.
Jiang Tongxiang thought they were just passing by.
Thinking back to the last time he went to purchase goods, he encountered many dangers on the way, so he changed his route halfway. Fortunately, there was an official following closely behind him, otherwise he would have definitely gone astray.
When they passed by for the second time, Jiang Tongxiang happened to be sleeping in the carriage and the driver did not notice them. There were so many people passing by that he could not remember them all.
And just like that, I missed the second time.
Time just flew by.
Compared with the last time he purchased goods, Jiang Tongxiang returned half a month earlier this time.
Before the end of the year, he returned home with a fleet of goods full of goods.
This time it went very smoothly, and Jiang Tongxiang bought three times more goods than last time.
Not only did he spend all his own money, but he also spent all the money he borrowed from his family before leaving.
But the good thing is that these goods are at least enough for him to sell until he gets married.
Saves you from making another trip.
"Brother, why did you come back so quickly this time? Are you familiar with the road?" Jiang Fubao teased.
When she heard the servant say that her second brother had returned, she hurried home.
The brother and sister were chatting in the backyard.
"That's not the case. I didn't take the same route as last time. This time I changed a different route and it was smooth all the way. If I had known I would have taken this route last time, you really don't know how hard it was for me last time. I..." Jiang Tongxiang almost let the cat out of the bag.
He quickly shut his mouth and pretended to be moving goods, but in fact he was sweating profusely, fearing that his sister would find out.
"What do you mean, the journey is difficult? Brother, what happened to you? Speak." Jiang Fubao listened carefully. She grabbed her second brother's sleeve and asked.
"Nothing, it's just that the road is long and hard to walk on, it's all uphill. This time the road we took is shorter and flatter and easier to walk on."
Jiang Tongxiang immediately made up an excuse.
But he couldn't deceive Jiang Fubao.
"Brother, if you don't tell me, I will tell grandma exactly what you said just now. Grandma will ask you herself. Grandpa will be there then, and if you tell a lie, grandpa will find out immediately. You decide, whether to tell me or tell my family." Jiang Fubao narrowed his eyes and threatened.
If my grandmother were to be told about this, the grocery store would no longer be able to operate.
Jiang Tongxiang knows this truth well.
Especially grandpa, he is the smartest person in the family, with a pair of eyes like an eagle that can see through all lies.
No matter how perfect your plan is, it will be full of flaws in front of him.
Jiang Tongxiang can't win.
Since his sister said so, he had no choice but to surrender.
Then he honestly told her everything that happened during his last purchase.
"The last time I went to purchase goods, I encountered many setbacks on the way and was in danger several times. I almost lost my life. The strange thing is that there was always a group of people who happened to pass by and saved me. Unfortunately, they were masked, so I didn't see the appearance of my savior.
So, this time, your brother learned his lesson and changed the route. It was really smooth. I didn't even encounter dead branches and leaves along the way. The road was flat and there was not a single piece of gravel. It was surprisingly smooth.
That's why I sighed just now. If I had known I would have taken this path last time, I wouldn't have encountered those bad things. Fubao, please don't tell grandma. If she knew, the whole family would know. Dad would be worried and cry, and mom would not allow me to open a shop again. Brother, please help me."
Jiang Tongxiang clasped his hands together into a bun shape and begged Jiang Fubao repeatedly.
He was much tanned and smelled a little sour, looking like a rather handsome beggar.
Jiang Fubao resisted the urge to give him a copper coin and asked again, "Don't worry, I won't tell you, but you have to answer me carefully. Do you remember any characteristics of them? For example, what kind of clothes they wore, what kind of shoes they wore, or whether they spoke to you, what was their accent? Do they have any moles or spots on their faces?"
Jiang Fubao always felt something was wrong.
You know, my second brother always only reports good news and never bad news. Even he tells me about thrilling things, but I'm afraid the real situation is a hundred times more dangerous.
I'm afraid his life is threatened every time.
But when something happened, he happened to meet the group of people who saved his life, and they saved his life again and again.
Jiang Fubao didn't believe that this group of people didn't know his second brother.
He was probably an acquaintance, not just passing by, and came here to protect my second brother along the way.
That......
Who could these people be?
Jiang Fubao was guessing wildly in his mind, but unfortunately his second brother didn't see their faces.
She could only ask indirectly about their clothes and characteristics.
"Let me think about it, don't be in a hurry." It had been so long that Jiang Tongxiang could hardly remember it.
He squatted on the ground, holding his head with both hands, frowning in pain, baring his teeth, and squatted for a long time as if he was constipated.
Jiang Fubao didn't disturb him and just stood there quietly.
About a quarter of an hour later, Jiang Tongxiang finally remembered.
"I remember, I remember, Fubao, I finally remember, let me tell you, one of the men at the head had a black jade pendant hanging around his waist, I always felt it looked familiar, I must have seen it before, but I can't remember where, but I am sure, I must have seen it, and there was a man in that group who had a bean-sized black mole on his right eyebrow.
It was very obvious, and I could see from a long distance that he had phoenix eyes. Like the others, he had a black scarf covering his face, so I couldn't see the rest of his face clearly. They all wore the same clothes, made of coarse cloth, and rode ordinary horses, the kind sold on the street. Their shoes were also the same, black cloth shoes. I really can't remember anything else because it's been too long."
Jiang Tongxiang was so worried that his eyelids had a wrinkle and he now had triple eyelids.
"Okay, I get it, second brother. Let's not talk about this for now. Go wash up quickly. I won't tell anyone else about this. But if you go to buy goods in the future, I won't let you go alone. I'll go to Feng's Escort Agency another day. I would rather pay someone to protect you. Even if you earn less money, you'll always be safe.
Don't make money but lose your life in the end, that would be a big loss. Life is more important than anything else. If you lose your life, you lose everything, understand? This incident also reminded me that I didn't think it through, so you can't be so reckless in the future. Next time you go to purchase goods, I will let the escort follow you, otherwise I can't rest assured. "
Jiang Fubao patted his second brother's shoulder and said in a serious tone.
"Okay, I get it. Actually, I was a little scared last time too. I thought I wouldn't be able to see you guys anymore. I almost peed my pants out of fear. You really don't know. The knife almost hit my neck. Ouch, I was sweating so much at that time that my legs went limp."
