"Boy Li Mi...he really thinks he is the emperor of Laihu now." The old woman sternly muttered to herself, with a flash of anger in her eyes. The "Li Mi" she refers to is the current gang leader of Chuangtianmen.
Wei Jing was so frightened that he took a few steps back, but saw the anger in the old woman's eyes flashing away, and her amiable expression returned.
The old woman turned around and asked Bei Xiaolu: "Bell, you said that little brother Wei Jing made two mistakes. What is the other one?"
Bei Xiaolu chuckled and replied: "He was bragging. He said that he and a fool worked together to kill Uncle Man from Chuangtianmen. There were not many people with the surname Man in Chuangtianmen, and there was only one named Manquanli. Manquanli was One of the four deputy hall masters of Chuangtianmen Wushuang Hall, he is very skilled, how could he have his leg killed by a bumpkin and an idiot? He is clearly bragging!"
"Have you seen it? Why do you think I'm bragging if you haven't seen me?" Wei Jing said angrily with anger rising in his chest.
"I saw it. I saw you being killed by Na Manquanli and rolling all over the floor. The monkey peed all over his pants. You were afraid of being embarrassed in front of me and grandma, so you had no choice but to brag!" Bei Xiaolu laughed even louder. .
"I won't bullshit you anymore, I want to see that idiot!" Wei Jing suppressed his anger and turned to leave.
The old woman took Wei Jing's hand and said, "Brother Wei, my mother-in-law needs to take back what she just said! Chuangtianmen's power has grown stronger, and more than half of the gang members in Laihu City are their vassals, Eagle Claw, and my baby Even though I am dexterous, I may not be able to take back the sword from Manquanli for you. This is not a place for you to stay, go back to your simple countryside!"
"Haha! Grandma is right now. For this country bumpkin to survive in Laihu City, it's like throwing a stupid dog into a pile of tigers. He was scared to death. He lost his goods after only two days here. What a waste. You may even lose your life if you stay here for two days!" Bei Xiaolu said with a groan. She hated Wei Jing for cutting off her whip with his eight-handed knife and insulting her. At this time, she seized the opportunity to fight back, saying every word They are all fierce and vicious.
"Mother-in-law, thank you for the reminder." Wei Jing said loudly, "I must take back the sword. Xiaoyuan Village is only two days' drive from Laihu City. I can go back at any time. I don't care if it's a good idea or not. What nonsense Wushuangtang, they are all bandits and bullies, they are not worthy of using my sword!"
"Also, give the handkerchief back to your granddaughter! Her handkerchief has a strange smell and makes my nose hurt, but I don't blame her." Wei Jing handed the handkerchief back to the old woman, turned around and left.
"You're the one who stinks..." When Bei Xiaolu saw Wei Jing saying this, he was about to retaliate. When his grandma glared at her, Bei Xiaolu stopped.
"Brother Wei, listen to your mother-in-law's advice. If you want to take back the sword from Chuangtianmen, it will be as difficult as climbing to heaven..." Seeing Wei Jing walking away without looking back or even answering, the old woman knew that he must be because of Bei Xiaolu's series of actions. Ridiculously angry, he stopped trying to persuade him. He took out a thrush pen from his baggage, wrote some words on the blood-stained handkerchief, took out a dart, tied the handkerchief to the dart, and shot it towards Wei Jing.
The dart moved quickly and hit a wooden board in the corner in front of Wei Jing.
Wei Jing was stunned for a moment, only to hear the gentle and steady voice of the old woman behind him: "Brother Wei, if you are forced by Chuangtianmen, you can hide in the "underground lake". The Chuangtianmen gang usually doesn't go there. You do as you please. You can look for the place name on the handkerchief or ask passers-by."
"Go to the lake underground?" Wei Jing turned around. The entrance to the alley was empty, and the old woman and Bei Xiaolu were no longer there.
Wei Jing pulled out the dart inserted into the wooden board, spread out the handkerchief and took a look. Three place names were written on it - "Laoyuan Inn Stove Mouth", "Lushui Street Dry Well", "Huangliang Lane Old House", Wei Jing Jing didn't know why, but he also brought the handkerchief with him.
He was afraid that the dragons and earth tigers were hiding in the alley to ambush him, so he moved forward cautiously, turned a few corners, and searched carefully, and finally found where Gongsun Yao was hiding today.
There were still dried blood stains on the ground and a piece of cloth with some blood words on it. Wei Jing took a closer look and saw that it was written - "Brother Wei, good friend, thank you for saving me. See you again one day and I will definitely return the sword. Letter." County Gongsun Yao."
Wei Jing stared at the cloth blankly for a while before walking out of the alley. It was dark at night, and Wei Jing was wandering on the streets. Chuangtianmen gang members appeared on several streets, some eating and drinking for free, and some walking ostentatiously. Wei Jing was so scared that he didn't dare to go to the streets, so he had to wander aimlessly in the alleys.
This narrow alley is lined with buildings made of towering wood, several stories high. Looking up, you can vaguely see a little starlight through the gaps between the staggered stacks of scaffolding extending from the windows.
Wei Jing remembered that when he was in Xiaoyuan Village, the sky was full of stars every night.
…
After a night, it finally dawned. Wei Jing poked his head out of the dark alley a few blocks away from Feifei Inn and peeked at the pair of Mei sisters outside the inn who were busy preparing the store for business.
Mei Wenrou looked ugly and bossed her sister Afengyi around, but Afeng smiled and obeyed, patting her sister on the shoulder from time to time as if to comfort her.
Wei Jing led Ah Xi and slowly approached, hoping to take the opportunity to talk to Ah Feng while his sister Mei Wenrou was leaving.
He walked around in the dark for a long time last night and finally walked back to Feifei Inn. The inn was already closed at that time. Wei Jing didn't want to attract Mei Wenrou's attention, so he found a clean corner in a narrow alley not far away and settled on his bed. One night.
Mei Wenrou complained to herself for a while, then returned to the inn listlessly, while Ah Feng was still diligently wiping the inn sign.
"A Feng! A Feng!" Wei Jing lowered his voice and waved to A Feng from a distance.
"Huh? It's you again!" Ah Feng was a little surprised when he saw Wei Jing, put down the bucket and hurried over.
"You gave me too much money yesterday, I can't accept it." Ah Feng said seriously, touched her body, and then went back to the inn to get the money.
"No!" Wei Jing quickly grabbed her and asked, "I have something urgent. Are the grandparents and grandsons who robbed my superior room last night still there?"
Ah Feng shook his head: "They left yesterday evening. When the boy returned to the inn, he was injured and bleeding a lot. He asked me if I had seen you. Did you hurt him?"
"This...it takes a lot of time to explain. Of course I didn't do the beating. It's true that I became friends with that kid. Yesterday we met a bandit bully outside, which made us disgraced." Wei Jing heard that Gongsun Yao's ancestors and grandsons had already passed away. After leaving Feifei Inn, I was at a loss and unwilling to explain too much.
Afeng nodded: "I think you are not a bad person. When Mr. Gongsun asked me about you, he also had a look of concern. But my sister insisted that it was you who injured him and kept suggesting that you should be arrested by the officials. Mr. Gongsun was not happy, so he scolded my sister a few times, and then they checked out and left. My sister was angry all night because of this, and she is still angry just now!"
"Your sister is so snobbish. Seeing that her family is handsome and beautiful, and she is from a wealthy family, she wants to please that boy, but gets a bad reception. Of course she is angry!" Wei Jing laughed.
Ah Feng quickly gestured to him, asking him to lower his voice. Wei Jing also quickly lowered his voice, for fear of provoking the fierce sister to come out and curse again, which would be difficult to deal with.
"You are very prejudiced against my sister. She sometimes speaks mercilessly, but she is always the eldest sister in the family and is responsible for the livelihood of our family. It's just a different stance than you. You make fun of my sister like this, and I don't want to talk to you anymore. ." Afeng said with a sigh.
"Okay, it's my fault!" Wei Jing shrugged and sighed helplessly. He originally thought that if Gongsun Yao returned to Feifei Inn safely, he might come to retrieve the Green Iron Sword, but at this time Gongsun Yao's ancestors had already left. , disappeared without a trace.
"By the way, Afeng, do you know these places?" Wei Jing took out Bei Xiaolu's handkerchief and named the first three places.
"I've never heard of Laoyuan Inn. Huangliang Lane is quite far from here, much further than the Fuguiju you went to yesterday. Yushui Street is not far from here...but there are always some strange people gathering there. Come on What should we do there?" Ah Feng said as he thought, and explained the location of Lushui Street. Suddenly he was startled, as if he remembered something, and said: "If I remember correctly, these three places are all The place leading to the underground streets of Laihu City, do you want to go to the underground streets?"
"Underground streets? You mean there are underground streets in Laihu City?" Wei Jinghu asked.
Ah Feng tilted her head and thought: "I don't know very well, but I heard from my sister that the underground streets are the same as the above-ground streets. There are businesses and households, but they are much poorer. My sister said that there are homeless people who have no future. Only those guys who have broken the law, or bad guys who have broken the law, will hide underground like a mouse...”
Ah Feng has an upright personality, so he just relayed his sister's description at this time, but when he saw Wei Jing's expression was different and knew that he might also go to the underground streets, his sister's description was naturally hurtful, so he quickly stopped talking.
"Okay, let me tell my sister and I will take you there!" Afeng smiled apologetically.
"I'm just asking out of curiosity. I lost something, can I still run around again? I'm going to go home and be punished by daddy, ugh..." Wei Jing smiled bitterly and said goodbye to Ah Feng, who still wanted to take away more things. The rent money collected was returned to Wei Jing. Wei Jing chuckled and refused to accept it, so he turned around and ran away quickly with A Xi.
