Chapter 3 The Wise Man of the South
The two walked north together and disappeared at the end of the road not long after.
After a long journey, they finally arrived at the Heluo Inn for the night at dusk.
"Come, come, come, come and see if you need anything, I have everything here."
At the door of the inn, a salesman was shouting loudly. Seeing Bai Fei come in, he stopped him and said, "Brother, let's see if you need anything. The prices of the things my little treasure sells are absolutely fair."
"Wow! You have so many things, Brother Xiaobao, you really have a way." Bai Fei took a closer look and saw a dazzling array of things on the shoulder. There were martial arts secrets, elixirs, hidden weapons, swords and sharp weapons... everything was really there.
"No, no, I'm sorry, little brother. I'm not good at martial arts. If I want to survive in this world, I have to find a way to get some good stuff everywhere and sell it in inns everywhere to make a living."
"I wonder what you call me, brother?"
"My name is Wei... don't be so awkward, just call me Xiaobao. Remember, if you need anything, just come to me at any inn, but I'm not sure which inn I will stay in. See you by chance. .”
"Okay, brother Xiaobao, goodbye. Xiu'er, let's go." Bai Fei was about to start when he suddenly found Xiu'er's eyes staring at Dantiao in a daze.
"Xiu'er, do you want it?"
"Um."
"Then buy some and pick whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, Li Wenxiu frowned with joy. He first picked up the Ningbi Sword and the secret book "Dragon and Elephant Prajna Kung" on his shoulders, and then collected some pills.
"Girl, you really have good taste." Xiaobao, the salesman, said with a wide smile.
"Now you can go back in advance to report to those seven wives. Let's see if you want to get into bed with me..." He smiled inwardly.
"Brother Xiaobao, brother Xiaobao." Bai Fei called out hurriedly, seeing him looking like he was distracted and not knowing what happened to him suddenly.
"Hey, I got distracted, sorry, sorry."
"Brother Xiaobao, how much do you think these cost?"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say. Seeing that this is the first time for brother to take care of my younger brother's business, I'll give you a 10% discount, just two hundred taels of silver."
"Two hundred taels? 10% off? Wasn't it originally two thousand taels?" Li Wenxiu was shocked after hearing this. She didn't expect that she would almost lose all the money Mr. Guang had just stepped out. She couldn't help but glance at Bai Fei and saw his expression. It didn't change, so I felt a little relieved.
Bai Fei seemed to know what Li Wenxiu was thinking, so he didn't say much. He took out two hundred taels of silver and gave it to Xiaobao, preparing to stay in the inn.
"Thank you, brother and madam, please walk slowly -"
"ah!"
"What's wrong, Xiu'er?"
"Ms. sir, look -"
Bai Fei turned around and looked where Li Wenxiu pointed. The salesman Xiaobao had disappeared.
It seems that I have met an expert. This world is full of weirdness. It seems that I have to be careful every step in the future. Bai Fei thought to himself.
"Sir, you look like you are dressed like a local. You have come all the way here. You must be tired from the journey. Do you want to stay here for a night to recover your strength and vitality?" Seeing Bai Fei and the others come in, The shopkeeper hurriedly said hello.
"Well, we're just here to stay. Are there any rooms left?"
"Yes, yes, although there are more people during this time, there are still enough rooms, more than enough."
"Okay, give me two..."
"One room." Li Wenxiu suddenly said.
"Okay, get us a room." Bai Fei suddenly understood her intention. It seemed that she was still worried about the expense just now and didn't want to spend more money.
Both Android and Apple are available. 】
"Okay, sir, please take a seat first."
The two sat down as instructed and asked the waiter to order a few side dishes. After a while, the food was served and the two began to taste it slowly.
"I heard that there are four strangers living in Meizhuang. In addition to their martial arts skills, they also have their own specialties. The four brothers are obsessed with four things: piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. People in the world call them the 'Four Friends of Jiangnan'!" said the well-dressed man.
"Brother, isn't Fuwei Escort's evil-fighting swordsmanship really powerful? This time, even the master took action himself." A man dressed in green at another table said.
"Shh, keep your voice down, don't be heard. Master is bound to win this time, so we have to be careful. We also have to be vigilant." Another older person said.
…
Bai Fei listened to their whispers and didn't care. After a quick meal, the two entered the room under the guidance of the waiter.
"You two gentlemen, please rest early. If you need anything, just call me."
"Brother Xiao Er, wait a minute." Bai Fei took out a tael of silver and handed it to Xiao Er's hand.
"Sir, what are you doing? If you have anything to do, just ask me. I will take care of it for you."
"I don't want anything else, as long as you tell me everything you know."
"Sir, what do you want me to say? I'm not a wise man, and I don't have anything in my stomach."
"'The wise in the south and the ugly in the north'? Who are they?" Bai Fei saw that there was something going on and asked hurriedly.
"You don't even know 'Nan Xian and Bei Chou'? The eldest man must be from out of town. 'Nan Xian' refers to a very knowledgeable old man. It is said in the world that he is knowledgeable about astronomy and geography. He is a master of martial arts. It can be said that he knows everything about everything. Because he lives in the south, everyone respectfully calls him "Nan Xian". As for "Beichou", it is said that he used to be an actor, and he was always crazy. He said that he knew a lot of secrets in the martial arts world. Strangely enough, some people who heard his words called him nonsense, while others said that he was extremely accurate because he lived in Saibei and his behavior was crazy, so Everyone nicknamed him 'Beijing Chou'."
"Nan Xian? Bei Chou? It seems like we have to go to the place where these two people live. I think I'll go to Nan Xian first and ask, maybe there are some clues." Bai Fei thought to himself.
“Then how to get to where Nanxian lives?”
"That's easy. After leaving our store, just follow the path to the southwest. When you get to Nanxian's residence, there is a special circular mark on the road, which is easy to recognize."
"Second brother, I said you didn't have anything in your stomach. I think you are a real person and don't show your face." Bai Fei praised.
"Where, where. These are all hearsay. It's okay for people in our line of work. Just show your skills and open your ears. I won't tell you more. I'm going to work, otherwise I will be scolded by the boss again. ”
"Ms. sir, I'm sorry." After the waiter left, Li Wenxiu walked up to Bai Fei and said.
"Xiu'er, it's nothing. Besides, I like those things very much. I should thank you. If you hadn't been so intentional, the salesman would have disappeared as soon as he turned around. It would be difficult for us to buy these good things. We would even regret it. It's too late." Bai Fei knew that she was still entangled in the previous expense, and hurriedly comforted him, "Besides, money is an external thing, and it is meant to be spent. What's more, spending such a small price to obtain such a precious thing, after all, We also took advantage of the boss."
"Ms. sir, do you really think so? Don't you blame Xiu'er?" Li Wenxiu raised his head and asked.
"I'm not surprised. I really am not. There's nothing to blame."
Looking at the pretty face in front of him and feeling such a considerate heart, Bai Fei plucked up the courage to pull her into his arms and kissed her affectionately on her smooth forehead.
Li Wenxiu suddenly blushed with embarrassment and buried herself in his arms. She didn't dare to open her eyes, but her heart felt extremely sweet.
"Xiu'er, let's take a rest early. Tomorrow we will go to Nanxian's place to have a look. I want you to accompany me all the way."
"My husband, with you by my side, I will be happy wherever I go."
"Xiu'er, you go to bed and rest. I'll make do with this table tonight."
"I do not want!"
"What's wrong?"
"You also go to bed..." Li Wenxiu said, not daring to look at him anymore, quickly took off his outer clothes, and hid under the quilt.
Bai Fei saw that she was wearing pure white clothes and still neatly dressed. He couldn't help but think of his experiences in the real world, and couldn't help but shake his head and sigh inwardly.
He lay down calmly without any further pretense, put his hands behind his head, and began to think. He thought of the poverty of his childhood, the hardships in a foreign country, and the gratifications he had enjoyed in the last two years. He thought everything would be in vain, but he didn't expect to be saved by the old man before he died and brought to this wonderful world. I also carefully arranged so many precious gifts for him, and now I am traveling with my beauty. If life is like this, what else can I ask for?
Oh, I'm so stupid, I still don't know what the old man is called! Xiuer should know, right? Bai Fei thought.
"What's wrong? My husband."
Unexpectedly, Li Wenxiu had already sensed his abnormality. As soon as Bai Fei looked over, she asked.
"Xiu'er, do you know what your grandfather's name is?"
"I don't know either, and he didn't tell me. I always called him grandpa."
"Oh, I'm so stupid. Only now did I remember that I should ask him. I don't know if he has any last wishes that I need to help him fulfill. He saved me and gave me another life. I arranged for you to take care of me, but I...but I..."
"Ms. sir, don't blame yourself, Xiu'er's heart aches so much." Li Wenxiu mustered up the courage to bury a Zhen head in his chest and murmured.
"Xiu'er, you are so kind." Bai Fei hugged her soft body and said emotionally.
"My husband, Xiu'er is so happy. She came to my husband from the very beginning, unlike Sister Qing and others..."
"By the way, Xiu'er, let's go in and see your sister Qing, okay?"
"Ms. sir, you can't go in now."
"ah?"
"I heard from grandpa that you can enter this space at least once every twelve hours. Of course, this is the current restriction. When you complete the Wild Ball Boxing in the future, there will be no restrictions. And every time your boxing skills improve, The interval will be reduced by one hour."
"That's it...it seems like I have to practice more frequently in the future." Bai Fei didn't quite believe it, so he tried it secretly, but there was really no response, and finally gave up. Li Wenxiu looked at his expression and knew what he was thinking, but she didn't criticize it.
"By the way, you also know wild ball boxing?"
"Grandpa told me that there are ten levels in total of this boxing technique. Among them, there will be some small obstacles on the third and seventh levels. Before reaching the Great Perfection, it must...must..."
"What is necessary?"
"My husband will understand later." Li Wenxiu said with a blush on his face.
"Then how to practice this kind of boxing, I have no idea now. In front of you, I feel like a useless person."
"Ms. Xiu'er, Ping Xiu'er's meager skills can't be compared with Dzogchen Wild Ball Boxing. Grandpa said that this kind of boxing should not be too eager for success. Each advancement is based on the accumulation of punches. As for the need for Grandpa didn’t tell me how many punches it took to get to the first level.”
"That's it, forget it, I'll just practice more in the future. Let's take a rest early."
