"Fortunately, I walked fast, otherwise I would have to leave my old bones there." The shopkeeper quickly got on the carriage with Jiang Yan and ran straight out of the street before he was completely relieved.
"Brother, were those people just now disciples of the Wuliang Sword Sect?" Jiang Yan didn't look down on the old shopkeeper for being beaten by the opponent and still groveling.
Although he is a foreigner, everything in Moyun City is not much different from his experiences in Dayan.
It's still the law of the jungle, it's still the jungle of the jungle.
"Bah! What kind of disciple of the Infinite Sword Sect is that yellow puppy?" The old shopkeeper spat out a mouthful of blood and cursed in a low voice: "Although the Infinite Sword Sect has teachings and no distinctions, and you can get started by paying money, most of them are just registered disciples, and they can only To rip off the name of the Infinite Sword Sect, this is what happened to the yellow puppy."
"But, well, I can't afford to offend him." The old shopkeeper complained and started chatting about the man who occupied the Yahang residence.
The "disciple of the Wuliang Sword Sect" was clean. The yellow puppy he was talking about was named Huang Xiong. He used to be a small gangster on the streets nearby. Later, he hooked up with the wife of the Chai Gang leader and became a leader. He killed the previous gang leader and became entangled with a group of thugs.
He even paid money to join the Wuliang Sword Sect, and with a backer, he made money by selling private salt, and his life was very comfortable.
...The two of them talked and arrived at the second residence. The old shopkeeper was familiar with the road, jumped out of the carriage and banged on the door: "I belong to Mr. Zhou, I am an old man, and someone wants to rent your house."
"Uncle Qian? Wait a moment..." After a few breaths, the black door opened, and a woman in her thirties came out holding the key.
She is neither tall nor short, with a plump figure. Although there are light wrinkles on her face, she still has charm.
"Ah, Uncle Qian, why are you like this? Go to my house and wash yourself. I'll ask Yun'er to get you some medicine." The woman was startled when she saw the old shopkeeper in such a mess.
"It's okay. I'll go back and get the medicine myself. You can show the guests the room first."
"Oh..." The woman glanced at Jiang Yan, nodded to him as a greeting, then opened the door of the courtyard next door and invited Jiang Yan to enter.
She introduced: "When my late husband was still alive, our family of three lived here, and we hired a cooking lady and two helper girls."
"After my husband passed away, my daughter and I felt that this big courtyard was too deserted, so I moved out."
"Guest, take a look, are you satisfied?" Xu Yang listened to the woman's words and walked into the small courtyard. His first impression of this small courtyard was that it was clean and had obviously been well taken care of.
There are wells, water tanks and tables in the courtyard. There is also a jujube tree. The kitchen is piled with firewood and the dishes are complete.
There are tables, chairs and benches in the main room. He nodded, turned around and walked out of the yard to the old shopkeeper and said, "It's a good place here. I rented it..." The old shopkeeper smiled. After working for a long time, he finally made some money.
He pulled the woman aside, muttered for a long time, handed the woman a money bag, and greeted Jiang Yan: "Guest, if you have any other needs, you can go to Yahang to find me. I am familiar with the area. I will never let you suffer." After saying this, he drove the carriage and left.
...After the woman saw the old shopkeeper leaving, she looked at Jiang Yan, somewhat embarrassed. She brought out a small bunch of bacon from her home and gave it a slight blessing: "My family doesn't have much income, so I can use these bacon as a housewarming gift for my guests. I hope you don't dislike it."
"Thank you." Jiang Yan returned the gesture, carrying the bacon and preparing to go back to the yard to tidy up. However, when he entered the yard and looked over the wall, he saw a small head standing there.
It was a little girl of sixteen or seventeen years old, with braided hair, red lips and white teeth, and her eyes were spinning and shining brightly.
She and Jiang Yan looked at each other and quickly retreated like a frightened deer. Plop!
It seemed like something heavy fell to the ground, and the next moment it was the little girl
The cry of "Ouch, ouch" sounded like it had fallen. Jiang Yan smiled slightly, thinking that the little girl must be the woman's daughter.
Next, he took time to tidy up every part of the courtyard, rented a carriage from outside, and spent a lot of money buying it. He didn't pack everything up until the evening.
When he walked out of the wilderness, although he spared the bandit's life, he looted everything. He has plenty of gold and silver.
Xu Yang ordered a table of chicken, duck and fish from a nearby restaurant, and placed them carelessly on the table in the courtyard, while the autumn wind swept the fallen leaves.
Since coming to this hell, he has been living in the open air, and he must treat himself well today.
Snapped! At this time, a little head appeared again on the wall. The little girl was lying on the wall, with a pair of smart eyes staring at the food and wine on the dinner table, showing longing.
Her little mouth was open, and her laughter couldn't help but flow out. Jiang Yan had discovered her a long time ago and thought this little girl was quite interesting.
He brought out a plate of roast goose that he had not eaten yet and waved it towards the other party: "Want to eat?" Chi Liu! However, the little girl didn't give him any response, so she retracted her head and never came out again.
"You little greedy kid is still a coward..." Jiang Yan shook his head and flicked his wrist. The plate of roast goose spun in mid-air and landed steadily in the courtyard next door.
"Yeah?" Then there was a cheerful exclamation from the other side: "Thank you, brother..." The little girl's voice was sweet and crunchy. She cheered and walked away, as if she had entered the house.
After a while, the little girl's cry of pain and fried pork with bamboo shoots were heard in the house: "How did I teach you when you were a child? How can you care about what others want to eat? Girls are so reserved." Listen. Watching the little girl being beaten, Jiang Yan had a faint smile on his lips. When he saw the little girl, he suddenly thought of Xiao He'er from Siyang City. The two were similar in age and seemed to have similar personalities.
...After eating, Jiang Yan returned to the room, sat down cross-legged, and slowly unbuttoned his clothes. There was a hideous wound on his abdomen, which was transparent from front to back.
On the surface of the wound, a layer of rich black aura lingered, like tiny worms that were eating away at his flesh and blood.
When Jiang Yan was walking out of the wilderness, he encountered a black coffin by a large lake. Before he could get away, a palm stretched out from the black coffin and pierced him through.
If he hadn't been decisive and quick enough, he would have been dragged into the coffin. However, even if he escaped, he was still seriously injured.
"It's coming soon, it's coming soon, I can recover from my injury in a month at most."
"When the time comes, go to the wilderness to kill and accumulate weird points..." Thinking like this, Jiang Yan slowly closed his eyes.
On the surface of the wound, streaks of hot fiery red light surrounded each other, intertwining with the black aura and annihilating each other.
Soon, the night passed. Boom, boom, boom! Boom, boom, boom! At this time, someone knocked on the door, and the little girl's clear voice came over: "Uncle, my mother asked me to return your plate!"
"Uncle?" Jiang Yan was stunned and silent. ps: Good evening everyone.
