In the middle of the night.
The lights in the city have been extinguished. Even the tired people who have been busy all day are not willing to put out the candles. Sooner or later, they will be scolded by their own mothers-in-law, and then they will reluctantly stand up and walk out of the bed, looking down at each other. Sangyan extinguishes the lights so that he can have a peaceful life. If you really don't want to get up, that's fine. You just have to wait for your mother-in-law to put out the lights and then add some cynicism from the Li family in Zhangjiachang.
It's nothing more than the family between the partition walls. The man in it is very capable. During the chat a few days ago, I heard that the family has bought two more clothes for their family. It seems that the money will last until the end of the year. Like the useless man in his own bed, he thought he was a good son-in-law in his early years, but now it's better, but no matter how he looks at him, he doesn't like him. Or maybe someone else had taken out a box of rouge two days ago when everyone was washing their clothes. They were so envious of others that they wished they had slipped and fallen into the stream and been washed away by the running water.
When others asked about it, they just said that the man in the family was careless and had always been this kind of character, so they actually forgot about it for a while and reluctantly put it aside. They didn't mention the family's financial difficulties, even if they only saw rice and noodles every day. , all have to worry about how to eat today, where will the remaining money come from to buy themselves new clothes or some rouge and gouache.
After all, it is always the same. The man in that family has a future, the family has added a house, bought a few new clothes that are quite suitable, and they go back and forth, and the words they talk about are definitely not the wedding flowers and candles in the early years. , but they are all fragmented.
Long and short, there is nothing but chicken feathers on the ground.
But whether someone has added new clothes or rouge to their home, this matter is always a bit vague. The words have already changed the taste. It is groundless, or they are just hoping that their man will become a good man and take him out of this. When the time comes, you may just think about your husband's reputation. This matter has never been concluded for thousands of years, or you may be obsessed with wealth, or you may have many thoughts in one place. The last words that came out of his mouth were quite unpleasant.
The poorer the place, the less likely it is that there are no lights at night, not to mention the houses with hooked railings and red sleeves.
Being in the northern land where autumn and winter come very early, and not even within the territory of Shangqi or Zihao, it is natural to have a more miserable life. It is natural to scold the big households with less than ten households in the city. It seems more confident.
The four Yun Zhongs settled in the northernmost city. They paid a lot of money for the inn. They probably saw that these guests were really well-dressed, not to mention they were not from the north, most of them were outsiders. The price was raised, and then he saw that these foreign guests were all driving horses. The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and added more money. Seeing that Yun Zhong didn't even raise his eyelids, his heart was already imprinted on his face. After six or seven slaps, I regretted that I had asked for too little. However, it was a done deal. If they were to increase the price temporarily, I'm afraid these gentlemen have a lot of background. How could I afford to offend an ordinary innkeeper, so I had to order people to serve carefully and be careful. He specially called the waiter in front of Yun Zhong and his party, and gave his instructions carefully.
.
Don't reach out to hit the smiling person, even if you end up falling into the dirt, if you can make enough money, this is the most important thing in these cities that are very close to the border of Beiyanze.
Liu Dan was already used to the miserable and desolate places like Xia Songbian Pass. What's more, he had been a beggar for many years. He never knew what a dangerous place was. He didn't need to hand over his money, so he felt at ease in this inn. Of course, you have to try the wine when you stay. Although the taste is acceptable, the price is obviously adulterated. How can it be so expensive? But apart from the fact that the drinks didn't quite suit my taste, there's really nothing to be picky about.
Chu Xin was an honest young man. He probably didn't even know that he was being killed. It happened that he was too tired on the road and had no time to care about anything else. He went to the guest room to rest early, which was a bit unsatisfactory. However, he completely ignored it. It was a good thing to have such a resting place. For a while, even the fear of the monsters outside the Beiyanze border was diluted. After returning to the house, he fell asleep, and he was not willing to wait. All the lights went out.
Among them, the one who always frowns is the blind pipa player. Ever since he stepped into the city, he has held the pipa tightly in his arms. It seems that he is afraid of dirtying his pipa, which is worth his life. Since he is blind, he has ears to hear all directions, and his ability to smell is beyond ordinary people's nose. Naturally, he feels that this inn is quite bad, and the smell of dampness and mold is quite strong, so he often frowns and looks in the direction of Yun Zhong. Unfortunately, he is blind and cannot see Yun Zhong. How does Zhong look?
"Earlier Liu Danyan said that Yun Shaoxia was a capable man who spread his wealth. Now I know that he has a big money bag.
In fact, it is not used like this. The shopkeeper clearly raised the price deliberately. For such a shabby inn with almost ventilation and leakage from all sides, he dared to ask for such money and fell into the hands of the people in the world. . Why don't you hand me the money and make the whole inn's angry and jealous patrons and the waiter and shopkeeper feel better? It doesn't cost much at all. "
"Is there any good place to live in the city? This is the Northland. To put it bluntly, birds don't want to stay in this place in the middle of winter. How can we compare it with other places? The living conditions are worse, but the good thing is food and drink. It's not inferior. I think this place is really good. It's surrounded by mountains and rivers, and it happens to be in the northernmost part of the city. If you stand on the city gate, you can probably get a glimpse of the true face of Beiyanze." Yun Zhong was fiddling with it. A purple-skinned gourd that I had obtained earlier but had never looked at carefully was left behind when they killed the two masters in Wuchi territory. The boundless sword energy of that time was passed through the purple-skinned gourd. It was sucking and turning like this, it was very majestic, but now it seems to be an ordinary object. Hearing this in the sad season, he was not anxious or annoyed, hung the gourd back to his waist, and looked at the pipa player with a half-smile.
This blind young man is not in the limelight, but he is firmly established among the new generation of the top ten people in the world. He has never paid attention to food and clothing. He just wants to be clean. Even if his room is empty, he can still live in it. I was satisfied, but it was rare for me to mention this matter this time. It was probably because I chose this inn poorly, or because I was one step ahead of others and had a glimpse of what I was thinking.
“There are much better inns in the city than this one, but I chose the worst one like this.
Although the inn cannot be seen, I estimate that most of the people who come here are traders and lackeys with no future. Yun Shaoxia usually spends a lot of money, so he must have the help of an expert. Besides, he is not familiar with Bei Yanze. The border people also live here, so it is difficult for people not to have some doubts. "This blind pipa player is always polite to everyone. Only when he sees a practitioner who is as good as himself, his aggressive thoughts burst out. Even Yunzhong never thought of this young man. How did a new master of the Four Realms come to have such a temperament? But when I think of those strings and strings again, I am really a little shocked. On the contrary, I am a little lucky that this person has a good temper.
"The food tonight is not bad, have you ever gotten used to it? You need to eat enough, or we will add some more hungry dishes later?" It must be that Pipa Guest is blind and cannot see his own sight. Yun Zhong looked out the window and followed the trend. Tao Lai.
The pipa guest seemed to have gotten used to Yun Zhong's character, which was sometimes quite straightforward and sometimes talked in circles. He shook his head and smiled twice, stood up and left with a slight salute, and went straight to his residence. However, he did not lie down, but carefully Wipe a futon, bring it to the tip of your nose and smell it carefully, then sit on it with confidence, hold a pipa in your hand, and slowly breathe.
In the middle of the night.
Someone broke into the building and threw the exhausted and injured Beiyanze veteran from the second floor into the middle of the street. Dozens of people attacked, forcing the Beiyanze veteran who had been guarding Beiyanze for many years. He had to pull out the blunt knife with crisscrossed cracks on his waist. However, he was not a practitioner, so he was unable to move for a while. Although he was holding the blunt knife in his hand, he was afraid of hurting innocent people and being attacked by everyone.
Crowds of people surrounded him, and it was difficult to use any sword moves for a while. He had no choice but to carry a worn-out long knife with a handle as messy as his own, and slashed randomly in the field, but no one was hurt.
Anyone could see that the embarrassed host could not last much longer, but more and more people gathered around him, almost surrounding the entire long street outside the inn. The waiter in the inn clearly heard this sound, but he buried his head and propped up the two hardwoods at the inn door. He did not turn on the lamp for fear that this incident would harm Chi Yu, so he simply made no more noise. , On the contrary, he hopes that the old soldier from Beiyanze will die as soon as possible.
I would rather see people on the street stained with blood than my gown stained with vermilion.
The men surrounding him have surrounded the old soldier more and more tightly. Among them, the two in the back quietly took advantage of the cover and took out the short sword that had been hidden in their robes for a long time, and held it behind their backs. , walking forward quickly along the crowd, the tips of the knives were pointed towards the vitals of the old soldier, clearly intending to kill him.
However, before the swords of the two men were drawn, their wrists fell down together, and they fell onto the long street. There was a dull sound, and then blood spattered five steps later.
In the inn, Yun Zhong sat cross-legged and retracted his thoughts of breathing, but he still held his sword finger. There was a tiny invisible hole in the yellowed window paper. Although the rustling autumn wind was all-pervasive, the crack and hole were indeed very small. The sword energy that circled around an entire inn and landed on the wrists of the two men was truly unparalleled in strength.
The blind young man in the house not far away was also sitting cross-legged, but the corners of his mouth were raised.
The sword energy in this hand is round and subtle, as playful as a mountain
The monkey in the middle picks fruits and returns them as lightly as a swallow, which is really a sign of skill.
