Chapter Thirty-Eight: The Monster Arrives

  With this idea in mind, Wen Fei didn't buy a good car either. He just bought this second-hand truck and had someone modify it, welding two steel plates on the door of the driver's cab and then welding protective nets outside the glass with steel bars.

  After feeling that it was enough to guarantee his own safety, he also welded a water tank in the carriage, which could hold up to two tons of water, and then there were other miscellaneous goods. These things don't look like they're worth much money. But in Northern Song Dynasty, that's a astronomical figure. Unconsciously, Wen Fei couldn't help but think that this amount of money, whether in ancient times or modern times, was enough to make people jealous and take risks.

  Under the stimulation of a large sum of money, Wen Fei showed great ability to act. Within just one day, he had prepared everything and drove away into the vast night that evening.

  Wen Fei can drive, although his skills are not very good. However, he doesn't have a driver's license. Moreover, the weirdly modified car that Wen Fei drives is probably something that traffic police can't ignore!

  So they could only go at night, begging Zhang Yu to help drive the car to the city, and didn't stop until they reached a deserted place before kicking Zhang Yu out of the car.

  Zhang Yu thought that Wen Fei would take him to a mysterious transaction this time, and he was excited. He was also curious about the tightly locked car compartment in the back of the car, but he didn't know that Wen Fei had played a trick on him by abandoning him halfway. Zhang Yu was furious and jumped up and down on the side of the road, cursing loudly, but unfortunately, Wen Fei had already driven away quickly. After scolding for half a day, Zhang Yu finally realized that this place was so remote that he couldn't even get a ride back home... and it was at least three to five miles away from the city...

  This place is not where Wen Fei rented a house, nor is it even in the same direction. Wen Fei deliberately drove around in a big circle. Then he quietly drove back to his own rural rental yard. No other reason, that place was safe enough.

  Fortunately, he had planned ahead when renting a house. Rural courtyards are generally spacious, whether for threshing or occupying land. In short, the large courtyard can make small urban residents cry and feel unbearable pain... The house they bought after struggling their whole life is not even as big as one corner of someone else's courtyard...

  Drive the car in, what makes Wen Fei most satisfied with this yard is not that the yard is big enough, but that the wall is high enough. After driving the car in, others can't see it at all.

  It's now 8:40 at night, Wen Fei stood facing the table, thinking to himself that according to the rules, it should be around 8 or 9 in the morning on the Northern Song side. As he thought this, the car flashed and disappeared into thin air.

  The mule and horse market in Northern Song Dynasty was held in the morning, although it wasn't a market day. However, with the migration of the Fan people's tribes, one day was more bustling than the previous one, looking like a small-scale market town.

  "Everyone be on high alert. If we encounter that Taoist again, let's break his magic first. Don't let him use his obscuring technique to escape!" the big brother said.

  The dozen or so brothers around me all nodded in unison, these were the kind of lazy good-for-nothings and petty thieves. They also took advantage of the bustling horse market to come here and do those "costless businesses".

  "Brother, don't worry!" Little San patted his chest with a loud thud: "When the time comes, I'll definitely find an opportunity to put that horseback cloth on that Taoist priest's body. Let's see what kind of evil magic he can conjure up then!"

  The big brother nodded, looking at his younger brothers with a stern expression, saying: "Alright then... you guys get ready too. This is a big deal, if we succeed, we'll be set for life..."

  The words had barely fallen when people came and went on the road, and ripples appeared in the air. The nearby people were frightened and hid, quietly, a huge monster crouched on the ground.

  "My goodness! The cries of surprise from the father and mother were endless. The whole donkey, horse, chicken, dog, and many livestock started crying out in surprise, chaotic and disorderly."

  Wen Fei felt a bit embarrassed, opened the car door, and half-exposed his body, shouting: "Everyone, don't be afraid, this is something conjured up by my immortal family's magic. It's not some kind of man-eating monster..."

  "It's that Taoist!" Many people recognized Wen Fei Lai and shouted in unison.

  That big brother's mouth was wide open, and it didn't close for half a day. Watching the Taoist disappear into the monster's body, the monster suddenly let out a long howl, scaring that big brother's heart almost jumped out.

  That little three cried and said: "Big brother, do we still need to take action? Such a big monster, I don't know if the horse blanket will work..."

  As he spoke, the monster let out a long howl and suddenly started moving. For a moment, his eyes were wide with shock: "Big brother, big brother, such a huge monster can still run!"

  That big brother was scared silly, and he didn't react at all. He only stared blankly at that huge object, which was rumbling over, his whole brain seemed to be frozen, and he didn't have a single thought left.

  Wen flew freely, driving his car all the way to Zhang San's territory. He enjoyed the thrill of the ride, feeling carefree and exhilarated. This feeling was like breaking free from rules and conventions, a sense of unbridled joy. Try doing that in modern times? Dare to honk your horn in the city, and you'll be waiting for the traffic police to come and fine you!

  At this time, a big man suddenly appeared in front of him, standing still and seemingly wanting to block his car. Wen Fei was startled and honked the horn again, letting out a long whistle. The man still didn't move.

  This was a living, breathing person being pressed down from above, and Wen Fei really couldn't do anything about it. Especially when there were no grudges between the two parties, he was thinking of slowing down to stop the car. But then several people rushed out from the side of the road and quickly pulled the man who was blocking the way to one side. Only then did Wen Fei wipe away a cold sweat and continue driving forward.

  The three little ones surrounded Big Brother, each stretching out their thumbs to praise: "Big Brother is still awesome, seeing such an awesome monster and not hiding, actually wanting to head-on collide!"

  The big brother only reacted at this time, suddenly jumping into thunder and shouting: "Awesome fart, I was scared stupid at the time..."

  Zhang San's business was very large, but he used tea leaves and other things to exchange for Qingbai salt.

  Since ancient times, salt has been the most traded commodity in the world. In ancient times, ordinary people were so poor that they couldn't even afford oil, but there was one thing they couldn't do without. That is salt. If you don't eat salt, you will get sick and can't survive.

  A man cannot live for a day without salt, as early as the Spring and Autumn period, those in power already knew how to use salt as a tool to reap huge profits. The monopoly on salt has been implemented for thousands of years.

  Last time Wen Fei and Zhang San Weng chatted, they said that the main salt of the Song Dynasty was sea salt.
