Chapter 280 Brother Fan, are you okay?

The days are free with nothing to do.

I lost interest in lively things like going to the theater, going shopping, and watching sideshows.

I thought, let’s continue doing business.

It can kill time and make money at the same time, so why not do it?

The guys who originally followed Xing'er and I had already found other ways and went our separate ways three years ago.The stalls that were set up had long since dispersed.Therefore, I spent a lot of effort to find them in various shops in Xuanhua.

At the same time, the batch of weaving and embroidery from Jiangnan arrived.

Because of the unique embroidery pattern, it was sold out as soon as it was put on the market in Xuanhua before it was sold elsewhere.I made a fortune out of it.

But I have also been busy since then.In the past, I was the one who made plans behind the scenes for many things, and Xing'er could just step forward.

Now that I am on the battlefield in person, I hardly have a moment to spare.However, I am more familiar with the ways of the business world.

On this day, several clerks came over to discuss matters with me as usual.

Mr. Hua, who is in charge of medicinal materials, said: "I wonder if my boss has heard that the market for Gastrodia elata has been tight recently, and even pharmacies in the Central Plains are in short supply. As you can see from below, it is the time to stock up. In central Guizhou, Gastrodia elata is cultivated a lot, so it is better to go a Come and go. This time, you will make a lot of money."

I said: "Central Guizhou is very vast, where is Mr. Hua talking about?"

"Bijie, central Guizhou. This place is not only rich in Gastrodia elata, but also Poria cocos, Wuliang Teng, Huang Yaozi and other medicinal materials. If you go there, you can buy them all."

I thought to myself: Central Guizhou is right next to Nanzhao, and Bijie is right on the edge of Nanzhao. The two places are very close to each other and can be traveled back and forth in less than a day on horseback.A trip to central Guizhou and a trip to Nanzhao to visit Brother Fan would kill two birds with one stone.

So, I immediately decided to go to central Guizhou.

The caravan got ready and set off after the spring.

After walking for more than a month, we arrived at Bijie, central Guizhou.

After all the matters were arranged, Mr. Hua led the people to purchase.

I only took Li Wa with me to Nanzhao.

Stepping into the territory of Nanzhao, it is obviously a strange place, but because I have researched it a lot in the book, I feel familiar.

The climate and scenery of Nanzhao are very different from the places I have experienced.

The plants here are lush and the scenery is beautiful, but there are few people.

Large tracts of mountain forest wasteland.

When we walked into the city, it was a little lively, but it was much more depressed and deserted than Xuanhua City, and it was incomparable with the Central Plains.

The market can only be called a place where scattered vendors set up stalls.

The goods only have some local specialties, and exquisite items are very rare.

After finally finding a decent teahouse, I found a seat by the window and sat down, and ordered Li Wa to go to Fan Li's house to deliver the name card.

I have a nickname, Xianyun layman.

When I corresponded with Fan Li, I signed my name and called myself Xianyun layman.

Therefore, this title is also on the name post.

After about two cups of tea, Fan Li arrived.

He still had a dark face, sharp eyes, and a solemn and cold expression.

As soon as he came in, he took a quick look around.But I was sitting by the window and he didn't see me for a while.

But the shopkeeper in the store immediately came forward to greet him.

Just when Fan Li was about to ask a question, he saw me out of the corner of his eye, dismissed the shopkeeper, and walked straight towards me.

I also stood up and looked at him with a smile.Under the black cloak, his right arm can be seen.His left arm seems to be hidden under the cloak.But that's not the case, his left arm is gone.

It was like a knife stabbing my heart. My eyes immediately became wet, my chest felt tight and swollen, and my smile must have started to freeze.

Fan Li's expressionless face slowly squeezed out a smile.

His smile was stiff and reserved, but the closer he got, the brighter and more natural it became.

When he came to me, he lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled: "Is it really you? When did you come?"

I said: "I just arrived today. I went to Qianzhong to collect some medicinal materials and stopped by to see Brother Fan."

He nodded and lowered his eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

After a moment, he turned back to the counter and shouted: "Shopkeeper, bring two pots of good tea and some of the best snacks in your store."

I smiled and invited Fan Li to sit down.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought two more pots of tea.

Fan Li added tea to my cup and said, "Although this place is not prosperous, the tea is very good. Try it."

"The fragrance is like the fragrance of orchid in Jiuwan, and it is as round as the bright moon wheel in three autumns. It must be Pu'er. I have been enjoying it for a long time before Brother Fan came!"

Fan Li was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes. You are waiting for someone at the tea shop, so naturally you want to drink tea."

As he spoke, he took a cup of tea and took a sip with some embarrassment.

As soon as he moved his right arm, the discomfort of the missing left arm was revealed.

I glanced to his left, then quickly lowered my head to look at the tea cup in my hand, and whispered in a daze: "Brother Fan——"

"Huh?" He put down the tea cup, raised his eyes and waited for me to continue.

I sighed softly and smiled: "I am very happy to see Brother Fan today. Brother Fan...how are you doing here?"

He moved his brows, said "Okay", then sighed deeply and said, "I'll take you to the beach here for a walk. The scenery there is quite beautiful."

As we led the horses towards Erhai Lake, we talked to each other about the current situation.

Fan Li was sent to Nanzhao to guard the border.

Although he has the title of general, he is just a small leader in charge of a thousand-man guard.

Since he is not required to lead troops in battles, he is very free on weekdays, just like being idle here.

And I talked about my plans.

He also smiled and shook his head, saying: "That's you, I don't think it's strange. If it were the other woman, she wouldn't be able to do such a thing."

"You know Jun Lei told me about you for the first time, what did he say? He said, this woman is very unusual, you need to meet her. When she first met me, she asked me for a drink..."

I burst out laughing, but an unspeakable bitterness gradually emerged in my heart.

At that time, I was just trying to survive.

Although suffering.Although poor.But it's not like now, full of regrets... Those people I value are either dead or injured.

A lot of people.A lot of people.It will never be seen again in this life.

Many hopes have become hopeless.

My throat tightened and I choked softly: "Brother Fan, you lost your left arm... I'm so sad, really sad."

He sneered lightly and said, "It doesn't matter to me...it's just an arm, it doesn't matter."
