Suan's goal is to travel around the world and travel by water.
Su Wu's goal was to pick martial arts arenas all over the place, specifically places where Jianghu people gathered, and disembark at Shuzhong Pier.
Su Wen firmly believed in his teacher's words, "When three people travel together, there must be one teacher from me." He planned to go ashore to find an academy to experience orthodox teaching, and landed at Xuzhou Outer City Pier.
Tianbao and Bai Yu also said goodbye to Su An at Longxi Pier.
Children who used to eat, drink and play together were scattered everywhere.
Longxi is located on the southeastern border of Vietnam and belongs to the Bund. It is the center of trade and commerce for surrounding countries.
You can see ships from various countries at the docking station, and there are people wearing various regional costumes and speaking with various accents on the pier.
It is bustling and bustling, even after dark, with an endless stream of people.
Among these people, two young boys and girls were dressed low-key and had ordinary faces. They walked quietly among the crowd and were inconspicuous.
"Jiu'er, let's find a place to stay first, eat something to cushion our stomach, and then continue our journey tomorrow." The young man held the girl's sleeves and walked forward, blocking the crowd for her. Only when he turned around could he see the depths of his eyes. Obvious narrowing.
Tianbao, "..."
It would take some time for her to get used to this title.
"Jiu'er, why don't you say anything? Do you think my brother's decision is feasible?" the boy said again, this time with a smile hidden in his voice.
Tianbao pinched his palm secretly, "It's almost done."
Bai Yu chuckled.
Pretty much the same?
It was so easy to make the senior sister deflate for a while.
It must not be almost the same, it must be good enough.
Longxi Wharf is very large. Going out from the wharf, the road is also very wide and can accommodate four carriages traveling in parallel.
There are many inns of different grades on both sides of the road for people to choose from.
Bai Yu took Tianbao all the way there, and every time he saw the high-end inn, his eyes showed regret.
If you have money, you can't spend it casually. Even though you have a pocket full of banknotes, you still have to pretend to be poor and find a hotel that looks unremarkable at first glance. I found an old small room on the outermost side of the pier, asked for two rooms and paid a deposit. After eating and taking a shower, the pier began to gradually become quiet.
After turning off the lights, Bai Yu opened the window of the room, leaving only the mosquito net. He lay on the bed with his eyes open, counting silently in his mind.
After a while, I heard a slight movement in the room.
He smiled, opened a corner of the mosquito net, and teased the shadow jumping in from the window, "Jiu'er, why did you break into my brother's boudoir in the middle of the night? There are differences between men and women."
The dark shadow approached, raised his hand and slapped him on the forehead, saying in a dull voice, "Robbery, give me money."
"Here, give, how many do you want? This time I brought a hundred. I'll give you ninety-nine. Leave one for me?"
"Stop talking nonsense and bring it all."
"..."
Bai Yu handed over all the one hundred silver checks and said helplessly, "Jiu'er, it's inconvenient for a man to go out without money. He has to pay for food, drinks, and shopping, right?"
Tianbao put away the banknote and left without leaving it for a moment, "I'll pay."
"..." Bai Yu refused to give up, "I really won't let anyone take away the banknote this time! Jiu'er? Jiu'er? Just pay attention to me!"
The dark shadow has settled next door.
After returning to his room, Tianbao threw a thick stack of banknotes into the space, went to bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
No matter how the next door scratches the wall.
Guiyi Pavilion has a stronghold in the Chishui area and has opened a martial arts gym to help the forces find good seedlings and transport them. It is also a transfer station for Guiyi Pavilion's news.
The martial arts school is located at the foot of Qingshan Mountain, thirty miles away from the Bund, and is under the jurisdiction of Darong Xindu.
At the end of June, the martial arts gym recruited a new group of boys aged between eight and sixteen.
There were nearly a hundred applicants, and after extensive screening, ten were left to do odd jobs in the martial arts gym.
July rolled around in the blink of an eye. On the first day of July, a flood suddenly broke out in the martial arts library in the middle of the night. A fire raged for half the night, and almost all the books and originals collected in the library were burned.
"Master, this is the person who first discovered that the library was leaked. His name is Jiu'er, a new disciple he recruited at the end of last month." It was already dawn when the fire was extinguished. The steward of the martial arts hall brought a girl of twelve or thirteen years old into the martial arts hall. In the reception hall of the hotel, report to the person sitting above.
The owner of the museum is about forty or fifty years old, with a deep and majestic face, and a pair of sharp eyes locked on the girl. "My name is Jiu'er? What's your surname?"
The girl hunched her shoulders and lowered her head, and answered tremblingly, "Back to the owner, I am an orphan. I don't know what my surname is. Jiu'er's name was also given by my brother."
"Keep your head up."
The girl looked up, her face dusty with traces of smoke, which should have been left by the smoke while helping to put out the fire.
The hands clasped in front of him were also stained with incineration ash, and even the fingernails were black.
Martial arts disciples wear uniform gray training uniforms.
The whole person looked ordinary and unremarkable, except for a pair of eyes that were exceptionally clear, filled with the cautious and uneasy feeling of not knowing the world.
"There was a fire in the library in the middle of the night. How could you discover it by chance?" The owner of the library narrowed his eyes and looked into the girl's eyes and asked again.
The girl's face suddenly showed embarrassment, and she hesitated for a while before whispering, "I, I'll get up at night..."
"In addition to finding a fire, have you seen anything else? For example, have you seen anyone acting suspiciously?"
"No, I found that the fire was already very big when it broke out. I was frightened. At that time, I just called for people to put out the fire. Later, everyone came, and I also put out the fire with my brothers and sisters... Museum owner, I really didn't see it. "
The man was silent, stood up for a moment, and walked step by step to stand in front of the girl with his hands behind his back. A heavy pressure suddenly pressed on the girl, making her tremble all over.
The man lowered his eyes and said, "Stretch out your hand."
When the girl heard this, she shrank even smaller. She shook her hands and stretched out her hands. When she got closer, she could clearly see the blisters on the backs of her hands that had been burned by the flames. They were so thin and shocking.
After looking at the girl intently for a moment, the man's voice softened and said, "Go down. The manager will take her to get a box of burn ointment."
The steward responded and led the girl to retreat.
It was already daylight when the girl returned to the dormitory at the back of the martial arts hall. Waiting at the door of the women's dormitory was the slender figure of Dao Slender, who was running around anxiously. When he saw her coming back, the young man immediately rushed to her and looked her up and down, left and right.
The more he looked, the worse his face became.
"Does it hurt?" The boy's voice was tight as his eyes fell on the blisters on the back of the girl's hand.
"It doesn't hurt. The owner gave me a box of burn ointment. Just rub it on and it will heal quickly." The girl smiled innocently and held up the box of burn ointment as if showing off.
Bai Yu pursed his lips tighter, picked up the burn ointment, opened it, took the ointment and applied it on the blisters very lightly and carefully.
He lowered his head to cover his face, and an inaudible voice floated into the girl's ears. She gritted her teeth and said, "Next time you do this nonsense, I will file a complaint with Su A'nai!"
"It's just a minor injury. It doesn't really hurt." Tianbao sighed.
She has experienced worse pains, and this little injury is nothing.
We still need to get to the Xinwu Gym. If we don't accomplish anything after our visit, wouldn't it be in vain?
She wanted to choose the entire Guiyi Pavilion.
This small martial arts studio is still the starting point and cannot be given up halfway.
The young man applied the ointment, raised his head, and smiled slightly at the corners of his mouth, "Doesn't it really hurt? I'll also burn my hands later to see if it hurts."
Tianbao, "..."
Are you out of your mind?
