Due to the arrival of the woman, the island became much quieter. No one dared to wander around and cause trouble. Every student behaved as if he had met his teacher.
Wu Gen's heart was no longer quiet. He got a step in vain, but the other party didn't react at all. The more this happened, the more uneasy Wu Gen felt. For a moment, he felt like there was a cat in his heart, and he was restless.
Fortunately, Ran Peng came back. When he heard all this, he couldn't help but give Wu Gen a strange look.
"But there's something wrong." For a moment, Wu Gen had the urge to leave the island. Seeing Wu Gen's uneasiness, Ran Peng couldn't help but laugh a little.
"Having a good skin does bring a lot of advantages, so don't worry, this guy has always been like this." After saying that, he told Wu Gen what he knew.
It turns out that this elegant woman is Su Zi, the owner of Suoyue Tower, and the leader of one of the three nearby pirate gangs.
Even though she is a woman, she has always been decisive in killing, and she has thousands of vicious pirates crawling under her pomegranate skirt.
Not only the other two pirate gangs, but also the God's Cult's ship dared to take a bite out of her if they offended her.
It would be better if she didn't mess with this person on weekdays. If she offended her, she would go to the ends of the earth to kill him.
However, this person has a hobby, that is, he likes beautiful men. If there is a person you like, just like the rich and powerful people in the world, they will reward you with some money and things.
However, if you think she has any intentions, she really doesn't. She just wants to feel comfortable in front of her. Frankly speaking, these handsome men are like clear springs, which can refresh the eyes and refresh the mind, so these rewards have a name, called
"Money laundering". Since the money was given to him, Wu Gen would just accept it because this Mr. Su would definitely not do anything to force a bully to take advantage of him.
After hearing Ran Peng's explanation, Wu Gengang breathed a sigh of relief. Since the last time he met Wu Yi, he has had a shadow of such a strong woman.
"Wu Gen, the three major gangs have been discussing things in the past two days, so there will be more people on Pearl Island. Do you want to go to the main island for a walk? There will be no resting place like this on the way back. Don't worry about anything. , if you have Bu Yao, the poster, few people will dare to touch you." Ran Peng suggested with a smile.
Thinking that they had nothing to do in the past few days, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng also became interested, so they decided to go to the main island with Ran Peng the next day to play.
The main island is much larger than the neighboring islands. It is bustling with people, there are many restaurants, and you can even see various vendors pushing wheelbarrows.
If it weren't for the murderous and fierce pedestrians on the street, we would have thought we were in an ordinary town.
Wu Gen, Ran Peng, Sha Jin and others walked on the street paved with black stone slabs, looking curiously at the surrounding shops from time to time.
When he got here, as before, what Wu Gen wanted to buy most was the ingredients. Perhaps because he was scared of hunger in the village when he was a child, Wu Gen always had an inexplicable obsession with eating.
Thinking that he would have to wander on the sea for a long time in the future, Wu Gen wanted to prepare more, so as not to be shortchanged.
After asking about it, I found out that because it is far away from the mainland, the ingredients here are astonishingly expensive, comparable to silver, and only a tael of white silver can be exchanged for some.
Seeing the money flowing out like water, Wu Gen's heart ached. On the street, the most common red stone is the size of a pigeon egg, which is sold in every stall.
After asking around, I found out that this is a specialty of Pearl Island. In fact, in the middle of the Pearl Island Chain is a crater that has been extinguished for many years, so islanders often go to the sea to touch some of these stones.
This stone contains fire properties and can be ignited even in sea water. Most of the people who come here are sailors, and sometimes they inevitably sneak into the sea and need this light.
Moreover, some pirate ships will also be equipped with some such stones, which are mounted on the arrow heads and can explode when shot, increasing the power of the arrows.
This kind of thing is suitable for ordinary people, but for practitioners, it is useless, so few people care about it.
Many times, this stone can only be delivered as a fraction of other goods. Touching the warm stone in his hand, Wu Gen became interested. If this object could be equipped on ordinary soldiers' arrows, it would have unexpected effects when fired together.
Wu Gen casually asked for a few from the owner who sold the ingredients, and while playing with them, Wu Gen wandered around casually with Ran Peng and others.
"Gentlemen. Come slowly. It's windy and rainy on this sea. You might as well come and sit in the small building." A sweet voice came from behind.
Wu Gen and others turned around and saw a middle-aged woman who still had charm running hurriedly out of a small building on one side. As she ran, the powder on her face fell down, and her bulging clothes The infinite scenery is vaguely revealed.
The woman twisted her soft and boneless waist and ran to Wu Gen and others.
"You guys, it looks like you have been walking on the sea for a long time. Xiaolou Yajing, just let the girls chat with the uncles, drink wine, and eat fruits." As he said this, he cast a few flirtatious glances. , a long forked tongue stuck out of his mouth, and he hooked it seductively.
Wu Gen frowned and looked at the plaque in front of the building.
With the words "Ruoshui Building", I immediately understood what kind of place this building was, a man's favorite. It was probably because a few of them showed their wealth by buying ingredients that this woman took notice of them.
I just walked around and found that the most popular places on this island are wine shops, casinos and so on. But this is not surprising. After spending many years wandering on the sea, sailors just want to relieve their tense body and mind, and they can't care about anything else.
Ran Peng glanced at Wu Gen, feeling a little guilty for a moment.
"Wu Gen, why don't we go in and have a look and drink some wine? After this place, it will be difficult to find a place where you can taste wine so quietly." When talking about the word "tasting", Ran Peng deliberately emphasized his tone.
Wu Gen smiled, knowing that Ran Peng and others had to endure the hard work of eating sea clams these days. He waved his hands and ignored the two of them, and continued to wander the streets with Yang Zheng.
After walking less than half a mile, the two of them arrived in front of a tavern and thought about going in to have a drink and rest for a while. As soon as he reached the door, a black figure jumped out and bumped into Wu Gen's arms.
Wu Gen didn't move his body, but he knocked the man back. When he looked down, he saw a very thin boy, who looked to be only eleven or twelve years old, with a dark complexion and messy hair hanging in front of him.
Wu Gen discovered that there was an iron chain hanging on the young man's foot. The young man's eyes were panicked, and regardless of the pain in his body, he got up and ran away.
But as soon as he took two steps, a fat man with a fleshy face ran out of the store and stepped on the chain. The boy immediately fell to the ground again.
The fat man stepped forward, held a spatula in his hand and hit the young man on the face, and cursed: "Run, if you run again I will kill you." The young man said nothing, rolled on the ground holding his head, trying his best to avoid the fat man's shovel. .
But the fat man was obviously very angry, and he didn't act properly, and soon blue blood flowed out of the young man's head.
Seeing that the fat man was about to strike, Wu Gen stepped forward and grabbed the other man's arm. The fat man stared,
"Where do you think you fool dares to interfere in grandpa's business?" He said and used force to pull his arm out of the other party's hand.
But after trying several times, the young man in front of me, who didn't look strong, had a lot of strength and couldn't get out.
In anger, the fat man raised his other hand and smashed it into Wu Gen's face. As soon as the punch was thrown, Yang Zheng stood forward with a smile and grabbed the fat man's hand.
"Brother, don't be angry." Yang Zheng and Wu Gen looked at each other. The two of them grabbed the fat man's arms and gently twisted them without leaving any trace. Both arms were removed and they could no longer be used. Use force.
Just as the fat man was about to call out, a broken knife accidentally hit his lower abdomen.
"Don't move around, otherwise this knife will not be serious. If it destroys your belongings, tsk tsk, the rest of your life will be..." Wu Gen whispered in his ear.
The fat man's face turned pale, and his voice trembled a little as he looked at the two old and young people who were smiling.
"Let me tell you, killing people is not allowed on Pearl Island. Be careful that Tianya Sect chops off your heads. Our big boss is the leader of Tianya Sect." Wu Gen smiled, revealing his white teeth.
"Don't worry, we won't kill anyone. It's just that my brother accidentally bumped into my knife and lost something on his body. And afterwards, the two of us were deeply sorry and paid a large sum of money. Tianyamen should I won’t say anything more. After all, it wasn’t intentional, it was an unintentional disaster.” With that, he opened the fat man’s crotch with a slight stroke of the knife tip.
Feeling the cool breeze below, the fat man knew that he had met a ruthless person. He was so frightened that he clamped his legs together tightly.
"You two, two good men, we have something to say." He pointed at the young man on the ground with his mouth.
"This guy is a guy I bought. He helps out in the kitchen on weekdays. Today he stole something. I was so angry that I just hit him twice. He won't do it again. Hehe." At this moment, there was a faint voice. The consciousness spread into Wu Gen’s mind,
"Help me, I can't even eat enough here. I couldn't bear the hunger today. I just ate a small fish secretly and was discovered by the second shopkeeper. Please take me away, otherwise he will beat me to death. "Yes." Wu Gen was stunned and turned to look at the young man on the ground.
The young man put his head in his hands and looked at Wu Gen secretly, with prayer in his eyes. I didn't expect this dark, thin, short boy to have such a method.
After a sudden change of mind, Wu Gen and Yang Zheng helped the fat man sit on a bench, holding the fat man on his left and right sides.
Looking from a distance, it looks like three friends out for a drink.
"Brother, we have something to discuss." Wu Gen smiled and patted the other party's shoulder gently.
The fat man trembled with fright, and then he forced himself to say: "You two, you have something to talk about. This is Pearl Island, the territory of Tianya Sect. Although I am not a leader, after all, I have been in business for many years, and I know everyone above and below me. The matter is big. I'm afraid it won't do any good to you two." Wu Gen chuckled after hearing this,
"Shopkeeper, we all understand the rules, and we also know the principles. In this case, let's talk about the business calmly. I really like you, little guy, so why don't you transfer it to me? How much did you spend to buy it? Pay according to the price." The fat man glanced at Wu Gen suspiciously, then turned to look at Yang Zheng, and said with a sad face: "I want that pony monkey. Ahem, although this kid doesn't look good, I spent a lot of money. Bought it at a big price. You also know that it is not easy to find someone to kill on this island. Ouch." The fat man screamed and looked down, Yang Zheng's foot was stepping firmly on his toes.
Yang Zheng said in a pitiful voice: "If you have any trouble, let it go quickly. What are you doing selling it for so much money? How much does it cost." Cold sweat broke out on the fat man's forehead, he gritted his teeth and whispered: "One hundred taels of gold."
"You are just teasing me." Yang Zheng said and stepped harder,
"For one hundred taels of gold, I can buy you a dozen."
"No, no, really, I didn't lie." The fat man grinned in pain and quickly begged for mercy.
"Don't listen to him, he only spent five taels of silver on me." That consciousness entered Wu Gen's mind again.
"Give him five taels of silver." Wu Gen ordered Yang Zheng. Seeing that the fat man was about to have a fit, Wu Gen held his shoulders and took out the dominoes given by Yu Jiu from his arms. He said coldly: "Don't be so shameless. Otherwise, let's go to Tianya Gate for this matter today." Talk about it." Seeing this domino, the fat man shivered as if he were seeing a reminder card and slipped under the table.
When Yang Zheng pulled him up, the fat man hurriedly begged for mercy: "Two adults, I am ignorant, and I don't know that you two are the protectors of the law. This kid is considered a filial piety to you, and I will not receive a penny."
"Bitch." Yang Zheng pinched the fat on the fat man's ribs hard, causing him to burst into tears from the pain, but he did not dare to say a word.
"Let's go. I won't pursue today's matter." Seeing that his goal was achieved, Wu Gen winked at Yang Zheng, put the fat man's arm back in place, stood up and walked to the young man sitting on the ground.
With one swing of the knife, he cut off the shackles on his feet.
"Hey, there is a Ho Luo man here." At this moment, a voice like a broken gong came from outside the door.
