It was a bit chilly after nightfall. After having a lively dinner in the Overlord Patrol Room, Wei Jing patted his full belly, let out a drunken burp, and strolled towards Yunlai Tower.
He passed through alleys one after another, watching the businesses on both sides of the streets gradually closing, and suddenly felt nostalgic for the scene when he first came to Laihu City four years ago.
The difference is that he was accompanied by the old dog Ah Xi at that time. Now his old dog Ah Xi has become the monkey Ah Xi. Together with the monkey Fan Jun, the monkey Bei Xiaolu, and the monkey Gong Sun Yao, they are the four he has with him. Monkey.
Four monkeys were responsible for leading each team of monkeys to smell the scent, listen to the sound of bells, and conduct a blanket search during the tracking operation last night.
After the night battle, the four monkeys returned to Yunlai Tower to wait for orders, while the other monkeys scattered back to Yang Qiufei's temporary resting place on Green Po Mountain.
At this moment, Wei Jing suddenly felt that the alley he was passing by looked very familiar, and the two people arguing in the alley were also familiar. He stopped and looked around, but couldn't figure out the reason for the moment, so he turned into the alley and saw When I saw a signboard, I suddenly realized that it was an inn - Feifei Inn, and the two sisters pulling up in the alley were Mei Wenfeng and Mei Wenrou.
My sister Mei Wenrou said angrily: "Why are you holding me back? Go and report them to the police to drive them away while they are sleeping. These two guys are cheating and drinking here. Do you really believe they can afford it?" House payment?”
My sister Afeng shook her head bitterly and said, "Sister, that young man said he would be able to pay off the house in a few days, and he also took something valuable as collateral, so why are you in a hurry?"
"You can believe whatever he says. These two guys look like beggars, and they are also reincarnated as starving ghosts. They eat and drink from morning till night. After drinking, they make a lot of noise. They break three tables and four chairs and harass the guests. They're all scared away. Do we still want to do business? The thing he used as collateral might be stolen goods, stolen from somewhere, and it might get us into trouble." Mei Wenrou shook off Ah Feng. The hand will go outward.
Ah Feng chased after him again and said: "Sister, sister... At this time, I think the patrol room is also closed. If you go to report to the police now, you might get scolded. If you want to go, wait until tomorrow morning." Go again.”
"Tsk...that's true!" Mei Wenrou thought it was right, turned around with a stinky face, and returned to the inn.
Ah Feng sighed and wiped the wooden windows and doors with a cloth.
"The two sisters are the same as before, they haven't changed at all..." Wei Jing was stunned at the entrance of the alley, suddenly thought of something, and ran towards Feifei Inn in three steps at a time.
"I'm sorry, we're closed..." Mei Wenfeng smiled bitterly and waved her hand to Wei Jing who came over.
"There should be some vacancies inside. I won't eat, I'm just staying for one night."
"Well...but now we have a guest here who has a weird temper. I'm afraid you will be frightened, so I'd better ask you to go to another place..." Afeng explained.
"Haha! No matter how weird the guy is, I've seen him... If it's full, let me sleep in the woodshed! Anyway, your woodshed is very clean and it's just as easy to sleep in as the one above." Wei Jing said with a smile.
"Eh-Eh? You..." Ah Feng then remembered the boy hugging the dog four years ago. She took two steps back to let more light in the inn shine through. She looked at Wei Jing's face and said, "Are you the one?" …”
"I'm Wei Jing!" Wei Jing laughed and said, "I remember your name is Mei Afeng, but you forgot my name."
"It's you! You have become a grown man." Ah Feng shouted in surprise.
"You haven't changed at all from before, you still have a good heart..." Wei Jing said with a smile, and murmured to himself: "If that guy had the same personality as you, it would be much quieter in Lake City."
"Wei Jing, do you really want to live here... I'm not lying to you, that guest has scared away a lot of guests these days..." Afeng hesitated again.
Wei Jing laughed and said, "You had a guest here before. He was also a big man. He also drank all day long and had a scar on his face. Do you remember?"
Afeng nodded repeatedly and asked, "I remember, you came to take that man away later. Could it be that... these two people are also your friends?"
"That's not necessarily true. You also know that the lake has become lively again these days. Not all the weird guys from all over the world may be my friends. Anyway, just let me stay for one night. If you are not my friend and cause trouble here, I will help you keep it. He chased them away and beat them until their teeth were all over the floor!" Wei Jing rolled up his sleeves and showed Ah Feng the strong muscles on his arms.
"Yo? Are you really the wild child you used to be?" Mei Wenrou heard their conversation inside, and when Wei Jing said he wanted to drive away bad guests for them, she welcomed him and said, "A-Feng, let him live there." Well, there are plenty of vacancies anyway.”
Ah Feng welcomed Wei Jing into the inn and went upstairs to help Wei Jing tidy up the vacant room.
Wei Jing was standing downstairs and asked the eldest sister casually: "You just said there are two of them, one is drunk and the other is gone. What do they look like?"
"What does he look like? He looks like a beggar," Mei Wenrou replied casually.
"Sister, don't talk about people like that." Ah Feng heard this when she went downstairs, smiled bitterly, and described it a little: "They are one old and one young. The older one is not too old, and the younger one seems to be in his twenties. , The clothes of the two of them are a bit old, and they look quite pitiful."
"Isn't that what beggars are like?" Mei Wenrou couldn't help laughing. She was sorting out the account books in front of the counter, picked up an object in the cabinet drawer, and said with a smile: "I don't believe this thing really belongs to them. I probably got it from some girl, and what grown man would carry this thing with me?"
"Ah!" Wei Jing whispered when he saw the thing Mei Wenrou was holding in her hand. He stepped forward and asked, "Is this what they mortgaged here? Can you let me take a look?"
"Of course not!" Mei Wenrou quickly put the thing back into the drawer.
Ah Feng quickly explained: "They have been living here for a few days, and the rent payment for the past few days has not been settled, so they took something as a mortgage, but the thing is still theirs, and we can't make the decision without the guest's consent. , feel free to take out other people’s things and show them to others..."
"I saw it just now. It was a golden flower leaf. I just wanted to see it more clearly. Otherwise, look carefully. Is there writing on it?" Wei Jing said helplessly.
"Writing?" Mei Wenrou was a little curious after hearing this. She picked up the golden flower and leaf decoration and took a closer look. She saw that the writing and veins on the two leaves were blurred into one. She murmured: "...What... 'Tenshu'...'protect', what is the other one...'ping', 'an'."
"Well, that's it...Sister, did you just say that one of them went out? Is he young or old? How long has he been out?" Wei Jing asked.
"It's a young one, and the old one has some brain problems. He just went out, and I took advantage of him to go out. I wanted to report to the officials to drive him away, but I thought it was getting late, and the officers and soldiers who came to Lake City were not that hard-working, and they were noisy about those It's not okay for the official to sleep." Mei Wenrou said with a shrug.
"That's good..." Wei Jing touched his pocket and said, "My room is still prepared for me. I'll go out and look for him, maybe I can find him. Also, I own everything they stayed in, ate, drank, and broke." Come and settle the matter, and take away the mortgaged things with me..."
Ah Feng shook her hand: "Wei Jing... this is not possible. The things are mortgaged by others, so we have no right to make the decision to redeem the things for you..."
"Who says no, I say yes!" Mei Wenrou cooperated this time and immediately waved the golden flowers and leaves in front of Wei Jing's eyes and reported a number.
Without saying a word, Wei Jing immediately took out the money from his pocket to pay the bill, and also added the cost of his own accommodation for the night. He grabbed the golden flower leaves in his hands and turned to leave. Seeing that there was still doubt on Ah Feng's face, Wei Jing Smiling and said: "Don't worry, he is my friend——"
"Good friends with a life-long friendship."
Wei Jing left Feifei Inn and ran along the night road holding the golden flowers and leaves. He looked at the flowers and leaves for a while, then looked around, and finally he stood still and said to himself: "I know Where could he be..."
