Along the way, Shi Xingyun asked questions and kept busy. Bai Yutian answered fluently, but he also answered selectively. He answered all the questions he needed to know. He didn't mention anything he didn't need to know, and just laughed it off. The two chattered all the way, giving away the time they didn't want to have to passers-by, and arrived outside Mingcuifang.
Mingcuifang used to be a crowded place, but today it was empty. Shi Xingyun was so surprised that he rushed in worriedly. Bai Yutian was infected by it and rushed in. He was almost regarded as a disaster star and was almost beaten out with a stick.
Seeing Shi Xingyun come in, the old bustard turned over with a fierce and arrogant expression, pinched Shi Xingyun's ears, and yelled: "You heartless bastard, what can you do wrong? Just imitate other people in the world to act like heroes. Now it's good Oh, I’m so proud! There’s no way to make a living in my courtyard anymore, and all the girls are drinking the northwest wind. I’ll fight with you!”
Shi Xingyun cried out in pain, tried his best to break away, and asked, "Where is my sister?"
A girl said: "I have the nerve to talk about your sister. Those damned ones couldn't find you the night before yesterday, so they took your sister's life in exchange for it."
Shi Xingyun broke free from the old bustard's hand, rushed to Bai Yutian's side, hugged him, and cried with emotion and tears.
Bai Yutian gently stroked the back of Shi Xingyun's head. He looked around the room and saw that it was devastated and everything was in pieces. He sat down at the round table in the room and took out the silver he had collected from selling the horse and put it on the table. , said: "Mom, this is the ransom money for Shi Xingyun's sister."
When the madam saw the gleaming gold and silver, she rushed over as if she were seeing a relative, and quickly stretched out her hand.
Bai Yutian held the gold and said, "Since it is a ransom, I must take away the deed of sale."
The old bustard shook his face and said with a sly smile: "This official, with just these few taels of gold, I'm afraid I can't buy the food I eat from my sister and brother. If I want to take away the deed of sale, I don't have to talk about two hundred taels." "
Bai Yutian chuckled a few times, stretched out his right hand and moved a few fingers, and said slowly: "Mom, thirty yuan a dou of rice, forty-five thousand yuan can buy one thousand five hundred dou, which is ten thousand yuan." Five thousand kilograms. Even if his brother and sister eat one thousand five hundred kilograms a year here, they can still eat it for more than ten years. Shi Xingyun is only twelve and a half years old this year, and his sister is only seventeen or eighteen years old. Even if you show great kindness , it’s enough to raise them from childhood and use the money to eat, so why do you have to be greedy.”
The old bustard smiled and said: "I dare to ask, young master, when you grow up, do you only need to eat rice, don't need to eat vegetables and clothes, and don't even need to sleep?"
Bai Yutian took back the gold and silver and put it into his arms. He stood up and said with a smile: "Since the business can't be concluded, just pretend I've never been here." He took Shi Xingyun's hand beside him, turned around and walked towards the door. There is a situation that will never come back.
The madam became anxious and shouted loudly: "Wait a minute!"
Bai Yutian stopped and turned around: "What's the matter? Is this money enough?"
The madam winked at the two girls next to her. The girl quickly came to Bai Yutian, helped Bai Yutian sit back to the table, and poured tea for Bai Yutian.
Bai Yutian drank a few sips politely. Seeing the uncomfortable look on the old bustard's face, he explained: "Mom, you and I both know very well. Miss Shi's life or death is unknown. You will definitely not be able to save her with your strength. No, I won't let anyone smash my house into a huge mess. I can't do anything, but I'm secretly feeling sad at home. Today I'll accept the silver, take out the deed of sale, and I'll rescue the child. Since you have a kind heart and have benefited from it, I will also try to If you don’t owe anything, why not do it?”
A girl next to me said, "Can you really save sister Yun'er?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "You will know if you try it or not."
The old madam got up and took Shi Xingyun's sister's deed of sale, put it on the table, and said: "Master, since you are determined to rescue that child from suffering, remember to treat others well in the future. If we hear that the child is being bullied , Don’t blame me for being a bit fierce and cursing your ancestors for eighteen generations.” He turned to the girls and said loudly: “Girls, isn’t that right?”
The girls laughed obscenely and responded in unison: "I don't know how to hit people, but my ability to curse is really good!"
Bai Yutian took out the gold and silver, put them on the table, picked up the deed of betrayal, tore it up, and asked: "Mom, girls, do the strong men who came to make trouble have their usual habitat?"
A girl replied: "I don't know. But when they left, a man said that the gang leader was waiting at White Tooth Mountain."
Bai Yutian said: "White Ya Mountain, where is it?"
The old bustard replied: "White Tooth Mountain, northeast of the city."
Bai Yutian stood up, raised his hands to the girls, and said goodbye, "Girls, we'll see you later." Before the girls could answer, he took Shi Xingyun's hand and walked towards the door, followed by a flurry of words.
When the two of them came out of Mingcuifang, they saw a donkey cart, got on it, and headed straight for White Tooth Mountain.
Baiya Mountain is a few miles northeast of the county seat. The mountain is neither big nor high. The east foot is surrounded by winding water, which is called Luopeng Bay.
When the donkey cart reached the foot of the mountain, the owner, who wanted to make money and not cause trouble, stopped the cart. Bai Yutian is not strong enough to make things difficult for others, so he can get off the car. Thinking that most of the gangsters were wild and would fight with fists, feet and swords if they disagreed, it might be inconvenient to take Shi Xingyun with him. He left the car owner behind, waited at the foot of the mountain with Shi Xingyun, and went up the mountain alone.
Halfway up the mountain, I saw several thatched cottages and more than twenty men sitting around outside the thatched cottages, drinking, eating meat, playing guessing games, and having a great time. I also heard the shouting of a woman in the thatched house, as if a wild boar wanted to grab the cabbage, but was unable to do so. I also heard a man's voice coming from inside the room: "You slut, you laughed and played with thousands of people in Mingcuifang, but here you show off your reserve. Believe it or not, I will chop you with a knife."
Bai Yutian felt a little uncomfortable hearing this, and quickly walked over and said loudly to the men who were drinking and eating meat: "I would like to invite your masters to come forward and answer."
When the men heard the unfamiliar voice, they put down the food and wine in their hands, picked up the guys next to them, and surrounded Bai Yutian.
A man said: "Who are you? How dare you come uninvited."
Bai Yutian was very worried when he heard the woman's cries for help getting louder and louder in the thatched house, and the men's cries getting more and more exciting. He bowed his hands to the men politely and said, "I'm here to discuss business. I have a big deal I want to make." Talk to the brothers from the Salt Gang and ask your gang leader to come forward and talk."
A man smiled and said: "Since we are here to discuss business, come over and have a drink while waiting. My gang leader is having fun with that girl."
Bai Yutian was a little annoyed when he heard the uncoordinated crying and laughter between men and women, and said loudly: "How can we wait for a big business? If I don't ask your family to help come out to talk, I will be really angry."
A man took a good look at Bai Yutian and saw that he looked like a big business man. He followed Bai Yutian's wishes, walked to the door of the thatched cottage, knocked on the door, and shouted in a low voice: "Boss, someone is sending a big business to the door. I want you to come out and have a chat."
There was a reply from inside: "Tell him to wait, and he will come when he finds happiness."
Bai Yutian said: "If happiness is important, then seek happiness. If business is important, then discuss business. There is no reason for you to seek happiness while I sit aside and wait."
After the sound passed, the door opened, and a fat man with his bare breasts and half-shorts on came out.
Seeing this, Bai Yutian held up his hands and said politely: "Xiao Ke came at the wrong time. I disturbed Ya Xing's help. I'm so sorry. Please forgive me!"
The big man sat down towards the meat and wine, drank a glass of wine, ate a piece of meat, glanced at Bai Yutian, winked and said, "If you have any business to discuss, let's talk about it."
Bai Yutian was able to get in and said with a smile: "I want to buy the unpleasant girl in the thatched cottage."
The big man said: "That's not a girl, that's a bitch."
Bai Yutian said: "If you want to buy her, how much does it cost? Gang leader, please make an offer."
The big man said: "You go to the brothel to redeem her body. You need at least one hundred taels. I'll give you a discount here, fifty taels, one price."
Bai Yutian asked himself that he didn't have that much money, so he had to bargain: "Is five taels OK? If it is OK, pay now."
The big man felt that Bai Yutian was teasing him, so he stood up and said with a sinister smile: "What if I say no?"
Bai Yutian took off the mahogany sword from his waist, held it in his hand, and replied softly: "No, okay, I'll save five taels of silver."
The big man said: "Looking at your posture, are you going to rob me forcefully?"
Bai Yutian smiled and replied: "The gang leader is well-informed and saw that I had this idea at a glance."
When the big man saw Bai Yutian pull out the peach wood sword, he shouted at the brothers beside him: "Come on, chop him up and make him a snack."
Instead, many heroes were ordered to attack Bai Yutian, using their fists, feet, and weapons.
The white jade heavenly sword swam with him, following the sword, turning into a white light and swimming among the men. Just waiting for the gang leader to finish a sip of wine, more than twenty men either left their swords in their hands or sat down on the ground. Full of pain and panic.
Seeing this, the gang leader stood up and said to Bai Yutian: "May I ask, young hero Gao, who is the Dragon Slayer Club?"
Bai Yutian said: "I, Bai Yutian, have a deep feud with the Dragon Slaying Association."
The gang leader was extremely puzzled and asked: "Since the young hero has a deep hatred with the Dragon Slayer Guild, why did he come to make trouble?"
Bai Yutian said: "That girl in the room is my sister. She is in trouble, and I have no reason not to come."
The gang leader said: "Since that girl is the young hero's sister, the person who took her away should give the young hero some face."
Bai Yutian put away the mahogany sword, held it in his hand and said politely: "Then thank you gang leader a lot." He walked towards the thatched cottage.
Unexpectedly, when the gang leader waited for Bai Yutian's back to him, he quickly picked up the meat-cutting dagger on the table and stabbed Bai Yutian. When Bai Yutian saw something strange on the ground, he turned around and took a step back. He held the dagger in both hands and felt his internal energy flow into his palms. The gang leader's mouth was numb, he let go of the dagger, and was kicked away by Bai Yutian. Bai Yutian greeted him with kind words: "Hitting someone with an arrow in the dark is not what a hero does."
The gang leader got up and shouted to the brothers who were about to attack Bai Yutian: "Stop."
Seeing this, Bai Yutian walked to the door and entered the room. Seeing that the girl was disheveled, he quickly took off his coat and put it on for her. He helped her out of the thatched cottage and rolled his eyes at the men who were surrounding them. He said loudly: "Gang leader, if you feel that there is a blood feud between us that can only be resolved by a life-and-death fight, then please take action, lest I kill you and feel guilty."
The men asked themselves whether they were Bai Yutian's opponents, thinking about living a few more years, and looked at the gang leader together.
The gang leader waved his hand and said with great grievance: "Let them go down the mountain."
The men happily gave way and allowed Bai Yutian to hold the beautiful girl as she walked over and went straight down the mountain.
