Coming to the first floor, it was already full of diners, and the four shopkeepers were shuttling back and forth between more than a dozen tables to serve food and soup, and they were very busy.

Hua Duxiu stopped a shopkeeper and asked, "Second brother, Sister Lou is going out?"

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, the shopkeeper went out early in the morning!"

Hua Duxiu nodded, and the shopkeeper asked, "Do you two have breakfast, and I'll arrange a seat for the two of you?"

Hua Duxiu raised his eyes and looked around, there were all people at more than a dozen tables, and if he wanted to sit, he had to share the table.

He waved his hand and said, "No, little second brother, you are busy with yours, let's go out for a walk." If Sister Lou comes back and asks, you will say that the two guests at the east end of the second floor have gone shopping and will come back at noon. ”

The shopkeeper said: "Gotcha!"

The two of them left the inn, each wearing a large hat to cover his face, and wandered aimlessly through the street.

It's not that I'm afraid of the sun, but I'm really worried that the spies of the sticky pole division have chased here, and it's better to walk on the street and cover your face a little.

Because of its proximity to the northern boundary of the northern desert, the atmosphere here is quite civilized, and there is no legendary atmosphere of crisis everywhere.

But Hua Duxiu and the two will indeed see from time to time that some big guys are riding on horses and driving by, followed by a few worn-out and withered slaves.

Slaves and family members are completely different, family members are still their own people, and they can "fight people", while slaves are purely humanoid animals, and they have no human power at all.

Passers-by on the street, whether they are the owners of the shops or the walking people, look at these slaves with empty eyes, let alone pity, they are simply not looking at human beings when they look at slaves.

It's looking at livestock, like looking at a horse, a cow.

Shen Lijia sighed in a low voice: "If according to what Sister Lou said, every ordinary person here is caught by robbers when they go out of the city, and the end is likely to be sold to a distant place as a slave, in this case, why are they so indifferent and don't think about these slaves?"

"Maybe these people were ordinary people with families and families before yesterday, how could the relationship between people be so estranged?"

Hua Duxiu said: "I don't know, and I don't like this feeling either. ”

"A man is a man, no matter how poor or stupid he is, he is also a human being, and he has feelings, which is different from livestock. ”

Shen Lijia said: "No! Brother-in-law, livestock also have feelings! Those vicious dogs I raise have a very good relationship with me, and they even bite my father, but they don't bite me." ”

Hua Duxiu frowned and said, "You feed them with meat every day, of course they don't bite you." ”

As she was talking, Hua Duxiu found a small restaurant with very distinctive façade decorations, and said with a smile:

"Little Fat Dragon, let's go, let's try this sooner. ”

After eating and drinking, I found an open place and gestured for a while.

The main thing is Shen Lijia's comparison, Hua Duxiu's comments.

Seeing Shen Lijia's punch and kick in a good way, Hua Duxiu nodded frequently.

Shen Lijia asked: "Don't you keep nodding, do you give valuable advice?"

Hua Duxiu said: "There's nothing to mention, there is already a faint master's style in your boxing, as long as you exercise diligently and think more, you will definitely get stronger and stronger." ”

Shen Lijia asked: "How far is the gap between me and Bao Yibao now?"

Hua Duxiu asked rhetorically, "What do you think?"

Shen Lijia thought for a while and said: "I think I have found the feeling of boxing, that is, the feeling that every punch has a little taste, but my realm is still a little low, if I can reach the 'internal force release' Xiaocheng, or even Dacheng realm, even if it is Bao Yibao, I dare to compete with him." ”

Hua Duxiu smiled: "You have a big heart, even Bao Yibao dares to compete." ”

Shen Lijia said with a big grin: "Bao Yibao is a human, I am also a human, everyone is carrying a head on two shoulders, why am I afraid of him?"

Hua Duxiu asked: "Then now that Bao Yibao is standing here, do you dare to fight him?"

Shen Lijia stuck out his tongue: "Don't dare to ......"

Hua Duxiu said: "It is good to have confidence, but it is more important to see yourself clearly and recognize your strengths and weaknesses. Strengthen your strengths and weaken your weaknesses in a down-to-earth manner, so that you can become a strong person. ”

Shen Lijia said: "I understand, brother-in-law, aren't you doing this? Increase your speed and sword intent to the level of unfathomable ghosts and gods, and try not to use internal force to fight head-on with people?"

Hua Duxiu sighed: "I'm also worried...... It's one thing to tell others, but when it comes to my own head, I'm worried. ”

"You don't know, I want to practice my internal strength in my dreams now, so that when I meet those powerful masters again, I don't have to jump up and down, and I also want to compete with others in a dignified manner. ”

Shen Lijia patted Hua Duxiu's arm: "Brother-in-law, let's work together!"

"Ascend the realm together!"

Hua Duxiu said: "Okay!"

Shen Lijia said, "From today?

Hua Duxiu looked at the sky: "Forget it, let's go buy some gifts, there are people here and there, and it's not good to be seen by someone with a heart,"

Shen Lijia: "...... Alas, that's it, I know that you are a lazy person, how can you practice martial arts in a down-to-earth manner. ”

Hua Duxiu smiled, too lazy to refute.

He had already found a unique way to cultivate, but it was inconvenient to tell Shen Li Jiaming for the time being.

The two hired a carriage and bought a lot of gifts, and returned to the inn in the evening.

The carriage stopped in the courtyard of the inn, and Hua Duxiu and the two walked to the lobby of the inn, just when they met Lou Qin and hurriedly walked out.

Hua Duxiu stepped forward and almost crashed headlong into Lou Qin's arms, but was able to avoid it at the last moment.

The corners of Shen Lijia's eyes jumped, hey, brother-in-law, you didn't mean it, did you?

With your speed, where can't you dodge?

Of course, Young Master Hua definitely didn't have such a bad taste, he was really thinking about things, and he really didn't see anyone running out of the door in a hurry, and he was still wearing a hat, and his vision was blocked.

Lou Qinxi said, "You two are back?"

Hua Duxiu was stunned and said, "Sister Lou, why are you in a hurry?"

Lou Qin said: "Didn't you just want to find the two of you!"

"Just now, the guide, Mr. Wang, sent someone to report the news, saying that he promised to take us out early tomorrow morning. Isn't this the end of what we discussed last night, I see that you always don't come back, and want to go out to find you two. ”

Shen Lijia was stunned and said, "What, go out early tomorrow morning?"

Lou Qin said: "Yes, don't you two want to leave as soon as possible?"

Shen Lijia said: "Oh, I thought that the customs of Snake Valley were special, and I had to choose a good day when I went out." ”

Lou Qin said angrily: "What kind of good day to choose, and it's not a church to get married, you are the best at talking." ”

Hua Duxiu pointed to the carriage in the courtyard: "You haven't seen your brother-in-law for a long time, it is the first time that we and Brother-in-law Lou have met, and we have to trouble him to arrange someone to send us to Anlin City, so we have prepared some gifts, which is not a tribute." ”

Lou Qin frowned and said, "Are you two really military attachés?

Hua Duxiu stretched out a finger and shook it gently: "This world is big, and many things are far beyond your imagination." ”

Lou Qin said seriously: "You two are really good at talking." But I can't accept this gift, I don't lack money to open an inn, I can buy what I need myself, how can I let you break the bank? Also, this is the silver left over from the hiring of guides and guards, you can take it quickly. ”

Hua Duxiu and Shen Lijia glanced at each other, and there was a little helplessness in their eyes.

Naturally, they can't see this money, but it's boring to always let it go like this, so Shen Lijia had to take a few silver ingots from Lou Qin's hand.

But of course, it is impossible to return that car of gifts, Hua Duxiu and the others are travelers in a hurry, and they don't need those things of life, so Lou Qin has to accept them.

The three of them entered the lobby together, it was dinner time, there were many guests in the lobby, and Lou Qin turned around and directed the shopkeeper to get busy.

Hua Duxiu and the two sat down at an empty table, ordered four side dishes, two bowls of rice, and a pot of tea, and waited for Lou Qin to finish while eating.

After it got dark and the guests left one after another, Lou Qin also ended the busy day.

The three of them sat at a table of eight immortals like they had done last night, chatting over tea.

Hua Duxiu asked: "Sister Lou, your business is so busy, these days, can you do it without you in the store?"

Lou Qin smiled: "It's okay. Actually, it doesn't matter if I'm not there, the clerks are all old people who have been with me for five or six years, and they will do whatever I want to do when I'm not there. ”

"Actually, I don't have to be so busy every day, I'm afraid that once I'm free, I'll panic and don't know what to do, so I have to work with them. ”

Shen Lijia interjected: "Sister Lou, then you should give birth to a baby to play, to ensure that you have something to do, and you can't be idle for a quarter of an hour." ”

Lou Qin's cheeks were slightly red, and she said, "You kid, your mouth is full of nonsense." ”

Shen Lijia was dissatisfied: "Where do I have nonsense, what I said is serious, okay?"

Hua Duxiu looked at Lou Qin's face and said secretly, although Sister Lou has been married for many years, looking like this, I am afraid that she has been gathering less and leaving more, and the shy atmosphere of a girl on her body has not completely faded, plus the charm of being a first-time wife, it is really special.

Seeing that Shen Lijia was still poor, Hua Duxiu hurriedly interrupted:

"Alright, well, you can rest. Sister Lou, if we leave early tomorrow morning, do we need to make any preparations?"

Lou Qin asked, "Do you two know martial arts?"

Shen Lijia was energetic again: "Damn, will you do martial arts? Sister Lou won't tell you, the two of us have traveled from south to north, and we have experienced a hundred battles, what scenes have we never seen? Ordinary Xiaoxiao can't get close at all, we are very capable of fighting!"

Lou Qin looked Shen Lijia up and down: "Little Fat Dragon, look at your fists and physique, you still have a bit of martial arts, but he ......"

Lou Qin looked at Hua Duxiu again: "Little White Dragon doesn't look like it at all? Are you really an imperial military attaché? Do you know martial arts?"

Hua Duxiu smiled, the laughter didn't stop, but the person suddenly disappeared!

Lou Qin was stunned for a moment, and immediately turned his head to look at the windowsill.

On the windowsill three zhang away, Hua Duxiu was sitting on it with her legs crossed, looking at the night sky outside with a smile.

Lou Qin exclaimed: "You, you are so fast!"

Hua Duxiu said: "Look at this day, tomorrow will be a good weather." ”

Before the words fell, the distance of three zhang Hua Duxiu was almost instantaneous, and Lou Qin only saw a flash in front of him, and Hua Duxiu had already sat back on his bench.

Lou Qin was surprised: "Little White Dragon, are you really a martial artist?"

Hua Duxiu said: "Do you need to talk about this? How can you be a military attache if you are not a martial artist? Xiao Feilong is right, we are both very capable of fighting, don't worry." ”

Lou Qin nodded and said, "Okay, since you two are very capable of fighting, it's much simpler." ”

"You two are preparing like this tonight......"
