Chapter 459: Let's go, go shopping!
The two got up and washed up, and went out hand in hand to the lobby on the first floor of the inn.
The lobby has been completely cleaned, the tables and chairs are in order, wiped clean, and the floor is polished.
It's a pity that it's useless, it's breakfast time, but there is not even a single guest in the lobby, only the shopkeeper and a few guys are left to sit there listlessly.
Hua Duxiu and the two went downstairs, and the shopkeeper glanced at them angrily, continuing his sleepy career, obviously not planning to say anything.
Hua Duxiu smiled and said, "Brother, good morning." ”
The shopkeeper opened his eyes and said angrily: "Dude, Miss Ding, morning." ”
Hua Duxiu looked left and right, and said with emotion: "Oh, it's new, it's comfortable to look at." Oh, I'm so hungry, do you have breakfast, brother, hold two bowls of hot soy milk, five fritters, a plate of soy beans, and some minced mutton, tea eggs? ”
After that, Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi generously found a table to sit down.
The shopkeeper rolled his eyes, as if he hadn't heard what Hua Duxiu said.
Ding Qiqi was unhappy, and slapped the table: "Old man, didn't you say it all last night, the food expenses were all paid to you in advance, why don't you even care about breakfast?"
The shopkeeper said angrily: "You have to eat when you open your mouth, do you know how much it costs to rebuild the third floor and renovate it!"
Ding Qiqi asked, "How much?"
The shopkeeper said with a dark face: "Anyway, your nine hundred taels are not enough." In the morning, I asked someone to come and see it, and all the eight guest rooms on the third floor had to be demolished and rebuilt, plus the renovation of the first and second floors, which cost a lot of money! This is not counting the loss of not being able to operate during the construction period. ”
Hua Duxiu waved his hand and said weakly: "Okay, okay, brother, don't talk about it, when I have my stomach, I'll go out to find a job to make money in a while, okay?"
The shopkeeper knows that it is useless to say more, after all, Hua Duxiu took out more than 900 taels of silver at a time, which is really not a small amount, and if he forces him again, he will have no money on him for nothing?
And these two people don't leave, their martial arts are quite high, and they can't do anything about demolishing his inn if they are really in a hurry.
Speaking of which, it is quite rare for a person in the rivers and lakes to speak so well as a playboy.
The shopkeeper sighed, turned his head and said, "Ah Niu, the salty soup and steamed bun slices left over from last night are brought up, and then cut some shredded radish as a side dish." ”
The man Ah Niu agreed, turned his head and walked towards the back kitchen.
Ding Qiqi was still angry, Hua Duxiu hurriedly grabbed Ding Qiqi and persuaded: "Okay, okay, salty soup is salty soup, as long as you can eat enough, early in the morning, don't rush so much." ”
Ding Qiqi said angrily: "I can smell it, they obviously have soy milk and fried dough sticks in the back kitchen, but they don't give it to us!
Young Master Hua was not happy either, he was a little embarrassed, and looked at the shopkeeper pitifully.
My family Qiqi is growing up, and it doesn't matter if I almost eat, can you wronged me Qiqi?
Ah no, I'm the young master of the Hua Clan's dart game, and I can't be wronged?
What's the deal with giving me leftovers?
The shopkeeper couldn't stand Hua Duxiu's seductive eyes, his scalp was numb, and he shook his head and sighed again and again.
That look is really who looks distressed, such a handsome boy, a beautiful woman, a pair of jasper people, are you willing to give them dry cold steamed buns?
The shopkeeper shouted again: "Ah Niu, two bowls of soy milk, two fritters, that's all, no more!"
......
Eating and drinking, Hua Duxiu and the two wandered around the street.
The damage caused by last night's battle was really limited, except for the seriously damaged Lingzhu Inn on the third floor, and the destruction of a north-south street was more touching.
The trick of the earth sorcerer was really strong, and he actually pulled up the entire street of ground, shaking violently like shaking a sheet, and the street five or six zhang wide completely changed its appearance, twisting into a ball like a hemp flower.
At this time, hundreds of people under the leadership of officials and messengers stepped up to level the land, and the damaged houses next to the block were also being repaired, but on the whole, whether it was Hua Duxiu or those magicians, they were still restrained when they started.
At least for so long, not a single civilian was accidentally injured and died.
Fearing that they would be recognized, the two hurried out of here and walked around the other neighborhoods.
After turning around, the two came to a teahouse, chose a seat by the window on the second floor, ordered a pot of flower tea, a plate of sunflower seeds, and two small snacks, and listened carefully.
What to listen to?
Listen to the people at the next table talking about the news.
The winter climate of the northern plateau is cold, and idlers gather in the teahouse to chat, and the new things in the south and north of the world can always be heard in the teahouse.
Sure enough, it didn't take long for Hua Duxiu and the two to hear the next table start talking about last night's vision.
A gray-haired man said: "Hey, I don't know if Boss Cha is good luck or bad luck, he believes in Marshal Zhongtan, and there was really a marshal apparition last night, next to his inn, but the marshal didn't seem to be very happy, and flattened his inn by one layer." ”
Another person said: "Is it because the fruit offered by Boss Cha is not fresh, and the marshal has a stomach upset after eating, which makes the marshal angry?"
There were a few laughs from the side, and it was clear that many people didn't care.
Another person said: "This morning, the government posted a list, saying that there were wild road magicians fighting in the city last night, and Boss Cha's inn was destroyed by those magicians. ”
The former said: "How is it possible, my sister-in-law said that her second aunt got up at night and went to the thatched house, and saw with her own eyes a marshal of the middle altar more than ten zhang high standing there, can this be fake?"
Immediately, someone laughed and said: "Yo, Lao Wang, why does your sister-in-law tell you everything, and the second aunt, will her eldest aunt tell you?"
Lao Wang was slightly angry: "Nonsense!"
A young man at a table farther away suddenly said: "That old brother Wang is really not talking nonsense! My family lives next door to the Lingzhu Inn, and the movement last night was too big, our neighbors all thought it was an earthquake, so they hurriedly ran to the courtyard outside, and many people saw Marshal Zhongtan!"
Everyone looked at the young man, "Did you see that?"
The young man said triumphantly: "I saw it!"
Everyone was interested: "Is it really the Marshal of Zhongtan who came to the world?"
The young man said: "Marshal Zhongtan seems to be fighting with some monster, that monster can drill into the sky and the earth, and its power is infinite, I don't believe you go to my house to see, the whole street is twisted into hemp flowers." ”
Everyone discussed: "That must be the Marshal of Zhongtan slaying demons." ”
Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi looked at each other, and they both felt a little speechless.
It's obviously two groups of people fighting, but how did it turn into a fantasy story of immortals descending into the world and killing demons in the mouths of these people?
Is this still the realm of the Five Elements Heaven and Earth, or the White Dragon County?
As the most prosperous place in the world, the people here are too stupid, right?
Sure enough, a middle-aged man said loudly: "What nonsense! Last night, it was obviously a fight between two groups of magicians, where did the immortals come from? I read the official mansion's list text, and it was clearly written, there were wild road magicians who had a conflict near the Lingzhu Inn, and after the fight, they fled out of the city, and that's it!"
Someone asked: "How do you know that this is not the government talking nonsense and deceiving the people?" I have heard that the government has been hiding a lot of things and does not want the people to know? ”
The middle-aged man said: "Where do you deceive the people so much, does it have to be the strange, weird, and unimaginable kind to be the truth?
The two groups of people have been arguing back and forth for a while, you say yours, I say mine, the atmosphere is warm but harmonious, and there is no tendency to develop into scolding or fighting.
Everyone was tired of arguing, and they poured tea and water to moisten their throats, so happy.
Ding Qiqi whispered: "It's like this, I'm really worried that they will lift the table in excitement." ”
Hua Duxiu said with a smile: "It's okay, the harmonious society is harmonious with you and me, you and I can lift the table with a cup of tea, can you still live that day?"
Ding Qiqi said: "Alas, listening to their chat, I can't talk about the idea at all, it's really anxious." ”
Hua Duxiu asked, "What's the idea?"
Ding Qiqi said: "Didn't you say that you want to beat your reputation out, so that Shizun and Jiajia will know our whereabouts and come to us?"
Hua Duxiu nodded: "Yes, it seems that we have to change our strategy, we can't just fight without publicity." ”
Ding Qiqi asked, "You have to tell them that you were the one who fought last night?"
Hua Duxiu shook his head: "No, no, facts have proven time and again that every time I speak, I am seeking truth from facts, but I am always thought that I am talking nonsense and pretending to criticize, so I decided not to say it." ”
Ding Qiqi said: "Don't say it, how do others know that we are here?"
Hua Duxiu said: "Don't worry, I don't know if those people will come tonight, if they do, I will find a way to advertise." ”
As he was talking, the topic of the next few tables changed from last night's vision to the big event in the White Dragon Snow Mountain.
Hua Duxiu and the two hurriedly listened carefully.
One person said: "Lao Wang, did your sister-in-law's eldest aunt tell you that Yujing Mountain has collapsed?"
Everyone was surprised: "What? Yujing Mountain has collapsed? Brother, don't talk nonsense, I believe that when the sky falls, Yujing Mountain will fall? How is it possible." ”
The old Wang next door said: "That's it, Yujing Mountain is a sacred mountain, and it is the holy land of our Bailong County, how can it fall? I advise you to joke to have a limit, brother, if there is an immortal chief of Baiyujing here, you will already be beaten by now." ”
The person who spoke before also seemed to be a little unsure: "That's right, the White Dragon Snow Mountain has stood here for thousands of years, and I don't believe it if you want to say that Yujing Mountain will fall." But my brother-in-law is from the government, and he told me that there was a once-in-a-century earthquake in Bailong Snow Mountain, and Yujing Mountain was shaken, did he lie to me?"
The other person smiled evilly: "It's still a brother-in-law, are you like Lao Wang, listening to your sister-in-law talk about her aunt?"
Wang Lao was slightly angry, and waved his hand again and again: "Don't talk nonsense, I have nothing to do with my sister-in-law!"
Everyone laughed and laughed for a while, and the topic of the collapse of Yujing Mountain was revealed, obviously no one believed that Yujing Mountain would fall, and even the person who brought up the topic thought that his brother-in-law was joking.
Hua Duxiu and Ding Qiqi glanced at each other, and they both had an inexplicable taste in their hearts.
Sometimes people are just so funny, simple and straightforward facts are often not believed, but mystical conspiracy theories are widely spread, and they are also spread to the truth. But when the truth is more mysterious than the most unlikely fantasy, people will instinctively doubt the truth of the truth.
Hearing the back, Ding Qiqi found that many people were always looking at them, so he couldn't sit still.
There are nine tea tables on the second floor, and the guests at other tables are chatting happily, but Hua Duxiu and the two have been listening silently, which is really eye-catching.
What's even more eye-catching is that Hua Duxiu's clothes are torn with many holes, and he looks like a man named Hanako, but he has an extraordinary bearing and a pleasant demeanor, no matter how you look at it, he is a rich boy's shelf.
Ding Qiqi whispered, "Xiaohua, let's go." ”
Hua Duxiu was stunned: "Listen well, why do you go?"
Ding Qiqi pointed to Hua Duxiu: "I'll buy you clothes first!"
Hua Duxiu was stunned, looked down, and then remembered that the clothes on her body hadn't had time to change off, so she nodded quickly: "Yes, yes, why did you forget this stubble, let's go." ”
Hua Duxiu got up, threw a string of copper coins on the table, and the two walked towards the outside of the teahouse.
