Taming beasts starts with understanding bird language

Yuan Jie was naturally confused and had no idea what Gu Chan was doing.

Just now she could only hear two wild cats meowing in the alley, but she couldn't understand what they were saying at all.

Gu Chan didn't explain, and immediately put away her playful mood and said to Yuan Jie, "Let's go back to sleep quickly. Tomorrow morning we will pack up and find a boat to cross the river. We have to be quick and can't stay here to waste time any longer."

"Boss, what happened?" Yuan Jie asked.

"Don't ask anymore. In short, just listen to me." Gu Chan said solemnly.

After saying that, she turned around and walked towards the alley.

Yuan Jie could only suppress the doubts in her heart and follow her forward.

But before the two of them could reach the alley entrance, three men suddenly walked in from the alley entrance. They each held a dagger in their hands and were dressed in rags. They were obviously the town's hooligans.

The leading thug said, "Brother, it's fate that we met. Can you give us some money so that we can go find a brothel to have some fun tonight?"

"Damn it! I thought he was some important character! After all this time, he turned out to be such a worthless person. Damn it, he really ruined my mood." Gu Chan cursed angrily.

"What did you say? How dare you be so arrogant in front of us? You deserve a beating! Come on, brothers, beat him up and he will behave himself." The leading thug said angrily.

Then the three of them waved the daggers in their hands and rushed towards Gu Chan and the other two with great ferocity.

"Bang bang bang..."

Two seconds later, bursts of fighting sounds were heard in the dark alley.

"Ah ah ah..."

What followed was the screams of the three thugs, like pigs being slaughtered.

When Gu Chan and the other two came out of the alley again, the three thugs were already lying on the ground, covered in bruises and unable to move.

Gu Chan walked forward, clapping her hands and saying, "It's so damn unlucky to run into these three bastards. It really dirty my hands."

"Boss, where are we going now?" Yuan Jie didn't care about the three thugs at all and just asked with a smile.

"Let's go back to the inn. I'm not in the mood to play now. Let Di Lin and Ma Zheng rest in Meihonglou. When they wake up tomorrow, they will come to the inn to find us. Don't worry about them." Gu Chan said.

Yuan Jie nodded quietly.

Afterwards, the two of them slowly returned to the inn to rest.

Early the next morning, Di Lin and Ma Zheng sobered up. When they returned to the inn, Gu Chan had already asked the eight people in the caravan to feed the horses and load all the medicinal materials on the car, ready for departure.

Seeing the two of them coming back, Gu Chan teased, "How was it, did you enjoy drinking last night?"

"Boss, I didn't expect you to be so good at drinking. It seems that we should not drink with you in the future. We can't drink as much as you."

"Yeah! I've never seen the boss drink for so long before. He's really changed now."

Di Lin and Ma Zheng both said this while touching their dizzy heads.

Gu Chan laughed and said, "No one remains unchanged, and I am no longer the same person I was before. You guys go eat something quickly, and we'll find a boat to cross the river later."

"Why are you in such a hurry?" Dillin asked curiously.

Apparently Gu Chan was very relaxed yesterday and didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, but after one night, she seemed like a completely different person. Of course, this made him puzzled.

Gu Chan did not explain, but urged, "Don't ask, hurry up, otherwise it will be difficult to cross the river if it's too late."

"Yes, boss." Di Lin responded respectfully.

Then he said nothing more and immediately went to have breakfast with Ma Zheng.

Half an hour later, Gu Chan led the caravan to the ferry crossing. He spent one hundred taels of silver to find a large ship and transported all of the caravan's horses, goods, carriages, etc. onto the ship.

After making all preparations, the boatman set sail to cross the river.

What surprised Gu Chan was that soon after the ship set sail, the little white fox curled up in her arms and trembled.

Gu Chan held it and stood at the bow, whispering in its ear, "What's wrong with you?"

[Master, there is a terrifying smell in the river. I am afraid.] The little white fox said tremblingly.

"It's over. It seems that what those two wild cats said last night was true. A monster really came into the Tiancang River." Gu Chan said with a serious expression.

Her own mysterious beast would definitely not lie to her.

Under such circumstances, the Jiangnan area is definitely in danger, but as the two wild cats said last night, no one knows when this monster will cause trouble.

This is exactly what she is most worried about.

After looking at the calm river surface and using her spiritual energy to secretly explore, Gu Chan still found nothing. In the end, she could only ask the little white fox, "Can you sense what kind of monster is hiding in this river?"

[No, I can only sense that the aura it exudes is extremely powerful and terrifying, and it is extremely murderous. All the mysterious beasts in the river are afraid of it and stay away from it.] The little white fox said fearfully.

"Then hide in the bag! Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Chan comforted.

The little white fox quickly crawled into the bag hanging around her waist and didn't dare to come out again.

Gu Chan stood with her hands behind her back, sniffing the strong fishy smell coming from the surface of the river, her face looking extremely ugly.

Fortunately, the monster did not choose to attack at this time. At noon, the boat safely arrived at the ferry opposite the Tiancang River and stopped.

After Gu Chan led everyone to unload the goods and reload them onto the truck, they did not dare to stay for a moment and quickly left Dujiang Town and headed deeper into the Jiangnan area.

Gu Chan sat in the carriage, and seeing the Tiancang River getting farther and farther away, she finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We finally crossed the river safely. Fortunately, nothing dangerous happened, otherwise it would be impossible to cross the river so easily."

"Boss, Brother Bai told us this morning that after crossing the river, if we walk another hundred miles forward, we will reach Jiangnan City, a city in the hinterland of the Jiangnan area. When we get there, should we sell the herbs first?" Ma Zheng said.

"Let's settle down first and get in touch with Wei Xing and the others. It doesn't matter whether we sell these herbs or not. The main thing is to promote our Yaoduoduo Caravan and its unique group-buying business model." Gu Chan said with a smile.

Ma Zheng nodded in understanding.

Gu Chan said, "You drank so much last night, your minds are not clear now, you should get some more sleep."

"Thank you for your concern." Ma Zheng said with emotion.

After saying this, he immediately lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

Gu Chan did not disturb him. She stood up and sat on the front of the car outside, and started driving with Yuan Jie.

The two chatted as they drove, both full of anticipation for the huge Jiangnan city ahead.
