Chapter 751: Destitute
It's still early, Zhang Chi doesn't plan to go to bed now, take out the map of Storm City and study it carefully, and see that the place marked on the map as the night market is not far from the inn where he lives, Zhang Chi went out to ask Xiao Er, the night market is open all year round, and it is always open, and being idle is idle, Zhang Chi decided to go shopping.
The main purpose of his coming this time was to refine the pill, and Qin Junqing was to use the Condensing Pill to coerce him into coercing him to cooperate, and refining the Kanli Pill in exchange for the Condensing Pill in Qin Junqing's hands, and only in this way could Xiao Jiujiu be completely cured. Although he reached an agreement with Qin Junqing, Zhang Chi also has his own calculations, the nine spiritual ruins distributed in the human world are like enclaves in the heavenly realm, although they cannot be compared with the heavenly realm, but compared to the outside world, there are abundant spiritual energy, and a lot of heavenly and earthly treasures can be found.
Out of the gate of the Mingfu Inn, I saw a familiar figure standing outside, seeing him hurriedly hiding again, Zhang Chi had already recognized that it was Huang Feixue, and beckoned to her with a smile: "Feixue!"
Huang Feixue walked out of the corner on the right side with a red face, still holding a small burden in her hand.
Zhang Chi said: "You came to me?"
Huang Feixue nodded, quickly shook her head again, lowered her head and whispered, "Madame asked me to come...... We're here for you. ”
Thinking of Huang Feihong's intention to give Huang Feixue to herself, Zhang Chi couldn't cry or laugh, in the eyes of this righteous sister, Huang Feixue was just a gift, just a commodity, there was no concept of equality for everyone in the Netherworld, and Huang Feixue, who was a slave herself, did not have any sense of resistance.
Huang Feixue said: "Engong, don't drive me away, if you drive me away, Mrs. will send me out again." ”
Zhang Chi couldn't bear to drive her anymore when he saw her pitiful appearance, and said with a smile: "Who said that I was going to drive you away, since Mrs. asked you to come over, you should follow me in the future." ”
"Hey!" Huang Feixue looked at Zhang Chi with joy, and finally agreed to accept herself, as long as she could serve Zhang Chi, she didn't have too many extravagant expectations.
Zhang Chi said: "You accompany me to the night market." ”
Huang Feixue was so happy that she deposited the package at the counter and accompanied Zhang Chi in the direction of the night market.
On the way, Huang Feixue told Zhang Chi that she was a hybrid of the Shanman Clan and the Black Moon Clan, and that on this continent, the mixed race was the lowliest, and she would be considered an unclean thing from birth, and she would be born a slave. Their fate is usually very tragic, unless they meet a kind master, Huang Feixue thinks that her fate is good enough, when she follows Huang Feihong, she is always worried that she will give herself to Dubei Peak, and now Huang Feihong has changed her mind and sent her to Zhang Chi, the hero she admires in her heart already thinks that it is the favor of God.
Zhang Chi said: "Dubei Peak is the admiral of Storm City, why don't you want to follow him?"
Huang Feixue said: "But no one who is sent to the Admiral's Mansion can live for more than a month, and this person is so bad, how many innocent people have been killed, I hate him." She was afraid that Zhang Chi would change his mind: "Engong, you must not give me to him, I would rather be a cow and a horse for Engong, if Engong insists on sending me over, I will die." ”
Zhang Chi smiled: "When did I say that I was going to give you to him?" Feixue, you will be my person in the future, and you will follow me, but don't call me Engong, it sounds quite awkward." ”
Huang Feixue said: "Yes, childe!"
Zhang Chi originally wanted her to call herself Brother Zhang, but after thinking about it, the more Huang Feixue was frightened, and let her serve her as a master to feel at ease.
It is naturally not difficult to find the night market with Huang Feixue leading the way, the night market is brightly lit, but although the entire night market is full of people, it can be quiet, no one speaks, Huang Feixue whispered to Zhang Chi, since the storm city was controlled by the Black Moon Clan, the whole city has lost the hustle and bustle of the past, even if the bargaining is carried out with gestures, no one dares to speak loudly, now the Shanman clan calls the night market a ghost market, she let Zhang Chi enter the market and try to make as little noise as possible, what she likes, she will come to the price.
Zhang Chi still had some gold coins, if he hadn't divided the gold coins into two parts in advance, they would have been looted by Cao Chengguang just now.
I went around the night market, and I didn't find any Dan furnaces for sale, and the richness of the goods here is not as good as that of Guangming City.
Zhang Chi stopped at a knife stall, after the Black Moon Clan controlled Stormwind City, the weapons have been listed as a monopoly and are strictly managed by the Admiral's Mansion, so the knives sold here are all used in the kitchen, Zhang Chi picked up a knife and looked at it, the steel edge of the knife was good.
The stall owner who bought the knife stretched out four fingers to Zhang Chi, which meant four gold coins, Zhang Chi smiled and put down the kitchen knife, and when he was about to leave, a ragged lame man also came to buy a knife, Zhang Chi glanced at the person, but found that this person was actually Huang Qitai.
Zhang Chi met Huang Qitai when he came to the Netherworld Ruins last time, this person was the bodyguard of the Huang family's business group, and he also pit Ji Chang once, now Huangfu Xiu has lost power, Huang Qitai naturally has no backer, looking at his shabby appearance in dressing, he knows that he is not doing well now.
Huang Qitai compared with the stall owner for a long time, but still couldn't buy the knife, turned around and left with some disappointment, Zhang Chi threw two gold coins to the stall owner, took the knife that Huang Qitai just fancied, handed it to Huang Feixue, and asked her to catch up and give it to Huang Qitai.
Huang Qitai limped forward after leaving the night market, and suddenly heard someone following behind him, turned around sensitively, and saw that it was a young girl chasing after him with a kitchen knife, and couldn't help but wonder a little.
Huang Feixue handed the handle of the knife to Huang Qitai according to Zhang Chi's instructions and said, "Mr. Qitai, my son-in-law gave it to you." ”
Huang Qitai was stunned for a moment, this little girl actually called out her name directly, and said in confusion: "Little girl, who is your son-in-law?
Huang Feixue turned around and looked in the direction of Zhang Chi, Huang Qitai saw the short and fat man, and he was a little puzzled in his heart, he dared to conclude that he had never seen this person, but the people obviously called his name, and gave him a knife, this kitchen knife has two gold coins, which is nothing in exchange for this money in the past, but now he can only take out one gold coin even if he rummages through his body, and he couldn't buy this knife after spitting for half a day just now.
Huang Qitai didn't take the kitchen knife, limped over to Zhang Chi, came to Zhang Chi and said, "This son, I don't seem to have seen you before." ”
Zhang Chi smiled indifferently: "Mr. Huang is a noble person, we have done business in the past." ”
Huang Qitai still couldn't remember where he had seen Zhang Chi, and said with a wry smile: "It's rude, I really can't remember when we met." ”
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Huang, if there is nothing to do, let's find a place to have two drinks, and I will help you reminisce." ”
Huang Qitai hesitated for a moment, but curiosity still made him make a decision, nodded and said: "There is a tavern in front, I ......" He originally wanted to say that I came to be the east, but now he is too tight to have the courage to say such a thing.
Zhang Chi said to Huang Feixue: "Feixue, you can help us recommend one." ”
Huang Feixue said: "The Fengsha restaurant at the intersection of Huajie is very good. ”
Zhang Chi nodded and invited Huang Qitai to come along, Huang Qitai's leg was very badly injured, I remember that his leg was still good when he came over last time, but now he has become a cripple.
The reason why Huang Feixue recommends Fengsha Restaurant is very simple, this is also Huang Feihong's property, and Zhang Chi doesn't have to pay the bill at all when he comes here to eat. Since Zhang Chi has been recognized as the master, it is natural to be loyal to the master, and everything must be considered for the master, and his interests must be put first.
At this time, there are not many people who come to eat, and Zhang Chi basically has no expectations for the food here, and it is good if it can be cooked.
Huang Feixue helped him order a few special dishes, all of which were served in small clay pots, and the fragrance was okay, but at first glance, the dishes were all red sauce.
The wine is not good either, and the throat is spicy.
For Huang Qitai, it has been a long time since he has eaten such a delicacy, although he has not recognized Zhang Chi until now, but people are sending knives and inviting them to eat, such a good thing is not easy to encounter, whatever, let's talk about it first.
Huang Qitai ate a few large pieces of meat, and then raised his wine glass to toast Zhang Chi, he also knew that it was a bit rude, no way, who made me not know the taste of meat in March? To be exact, it has been three years.
Looking at a person's eating appearance, you can basically judge the living state of this product, Zhang Chi concluded that Huang Qitai has been poor and destitute over the years, and such a person actually wants to spend money to buy a knife, and it is estimated that it is either used to commit suicide or to kill people.
Zhang Chi accompanied Huang Qitai to drink a glass of wine and said, "Mr. Huang, your legs are ......."
Huang Qitai sighed and said, "It's been five years, don't mention it." He put down the wine glass, and Huang Feixue, who was serving Zhang Chi, helped him fill it up.
Huang Qitai looked at Zhang Chi and said, "This son's surname is big?"
Zhang Chi said: "My surname is Zhang. ”
Huang Qitai said that there are many people with the surname Zhang, and the surname Zhang I know must have 800 if there are not 1,000, this answer is too insincere, but thinking about his current poor and sour appearance, it is estimated that people also treat themselves as beggars and are not interested in telling him his name.
Huang Qitai said: "Zhang Gongzi, can you tell me where we met?"
Zhang Chi said: "Bright City." ”
Huang Qitai tried to think about it but still didn't remember, and said with a wry smile: "I'm old and have a bad memory, so I really can't remember." ”
Zhang Chi said: "I remember that Mr. Huang was also a majestic figure in the business group at the beginning. ”
Huang Qitai shook his head and said in a low voice: "The past is unbearable, Mr. Zhang, the current Storm City is no longer surnamed Huangfu......
Zhang Chi gave Huang Feixue a look, and Huang Feixue handed the kitchen knife to Huang Qitai again.
Huang Qitai said: "Zhang Gongzi, you invite me to dinner, how can I be embarrassed to accept your gift, this is too valuable." ”
Zhang Chi was secretly amused in his heart, this Huang Qitai was really miserable, the kitchen knives bought by two gold coins were expensive gifts in his eyes, he deliberately lowered his voice and said, "Mr. Huang bought this kitchen knife to rob it, right?"
Huang Qitai's old face turned red, this kid is too straightforward to speak, people don't want to lose face?
Huang Qitai said: "Huang has always been law-abiding, how could he do such a thing, Zhang Gongzi must not say that." ”
Zhang Chi said: "That means you want to kill someone?" Without waiting for Huang Qitai to answer, he shook his head and said: "No, with Mr. Huang's current skills, it is estimated that he is also powerless." ”
Huang Qitai stuffed meat into his mouth, angry in his heart, this thing invited me to dinner just to insult me? But what people said was also the truth, and now he has no ability to kill people.
Zhang Chi said: "It's not a robbery, it's not a murder, it's a suicide." ”
Huang Qitai was choked by the big meat in his mouth, and quickly patted his chest.
Zhang Chi smiled and said, "Eat slowly, eat slowly, I won't rob you." ”
Huang Qitai finally swallowed this piece of meat, took a sip of wine from his wine glass, and said with a long sigh: "Zhang Gongzi also please leave your mouth." "Realizing that this thing is most likely trying to humiliate myself, I can't remember when I have offended him in the past.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Huang, don't misunderstand, I don't mean to humiliate you, it's just that seeing Mr. Huang's current appearance and thinking of your past scenery is really embarrassing." ”
Huang Qitai was full of anger, I am so poor that you are embarrassed to fart? I'm angry with me, and then eat meat to suppress it, at this time, the most rational way is to turn anger into appetite, I can't kill you, I will eat you to death.
Zhang Chi said: "There is one thing I don't understand, why should Mr. Huang's talent stay in the city and suffer?"
Huang Qitai finally took the time to answer: "My spiritual energy has been abolished, and my legs have been cut off, where can I go?" His heart was full of sadness, Zhang Chi did not guess wrong, he bought a kitchen knife to rob, if he didn't rob, there would be no way to live, if the robbery failed and he was fucked, then he would commit suicide, and he couldn't live anyway.
Zhang Chi said: "Mr. Huang, don't be surprised, I don't mean to humiliate you in the slightest, I just sympathize with your situation." ”
Huang Qitai said: "Thank you Gongzi Zhang for your concern, there are thousands of people like me, and Gongzi can't sympathize with them." "Huangfu Xiu was exiled, Storm City was under the control of the Black Moon Clan, and the entire Shanman Clan was reduced to the bottom, and there were not a few people like him who were struggling to survive.
"Mr. Huang should be quite familiar with the Northern Wilderness, right?"
Speaking of this matter, Huang Qitai said proudly: "It's not that I'm talking big, let alone the Northern Wilderness, except for the extreme north of the Great Wall of Ice and Snow, I have almost traveled to every corner, and I haven't seen it more than I am familiar with this continent." Speaking of this, thinking of his current predicament, he couldn't help but sigh and said: "The hero doesn't mention the courage of the year, I'm just a waste now, I accepted this gift from Zhang Gongzi." He reached for the kitchen knife on the table, what was face, maybe this kitchen knife would help him live a few more days.
Zhang Chi said: "There is an errand Mr. Huang is willing to do?"
Huang Qitai looked at Zhang Chi and blinked, I don't know what he meant by this? It took a long time to understand, and said in a low voice: "What kind of errand did Zhang Gongzi say?"
