In the north of Pengcheng, there is an ancient wild forest, the area is unknown, and the age is unknown.

Because it was the most marginal forest in the southwest corner of the Great Night Forest.

The reason why Pengcheng is prosperous is because of the friendly diplomatic relations between the Southern Tang Dynasty and Dashu, and because of this forest.

Even though the Southern Tang Dynasty was only a part of the original Tang Dynasty, it was still the largest dynasty in the central and southern territories of the Eastern Ting Domain, and it naturally had the most cultivators within its territory.

A large number of cultivators means that there are countless resource needs, spiritual objects, medicinal materials, ores, and countless precious materials, and the place with the most these resources is naturally the forest that few people have set foot in.

In order to obtain these resources, on the continent, at the edge of every forest with a considerable area, there are countless demon beast hunters, who make a living by finding or capturing the resources in the demon beast forest.

There are a lot of such people on the Pengcheng side, which is also the reason why when Jiang Ning and the others entered the city before, there were still rare pedestrians on the road outside the city who were carrying weapons or carrying prey in the direction of Pengcheng.

It was evening, and there were still a lot of pedestrians on the main street, coming and going, and the cars were flowing like dragons.

Jiang Ning and the others got out of the carriage, found an inn and booked a room, rewarded the silver, and instructed the little two to lead the horses who had worked all the way to settle down, and then took the girls out to shop as usual.

Although it was his idea to bring the girls out, it was they who led Jiang Ning away after they came out.

In the words of the little fox Hongshuang, since she became Jiang Ning's little wife without knowing it, she couldn't just have the status of an aunt's wife, and not the treatment of an aunt's wife.

So these days, every time they go to a city, where they want to play, Jiang Ning has to accompany them, what they want to eat, Jiang Ning has to accompany them, and whatever objects they fancy have to pay for Jiang Ning.

The one who eats the most is the little fox Hongshuang, and the one who buys things the most is Shu Lian.

Hongshuang was originally a foodie, Jiang Ning had been prepared early in the morning, but Jiang Ning was a little helpless for this Shu Lian, who had no consciousness of being a prisoner at all.

Everyone has said that although the old lady is now in your hands, but the old lady has worked hard to sell her lust to act with you, a bastard, and all she earns is hard-earned money, what's wrong with buying some things?

Jiang Ning was speechless, he only felt that this old aunt's face was too thick, didn't she just give you the name of an aunt's wife, Lao Tzu didn't even touch you, what is the betrayal of hue?

Of course, Jiang Ning still bought everything that Shu Lian wanted for her, just a little silver, a little meaning.

There is still nearly half of the distance from the Lancang River in Shu Kingdom, and the silver that flew out of Jiang Ning's hand is a thousand taels, Jiang Ning thought to himself, if Que'er is here, he will definitely have a pain in his flesh and teeth.

Compared with the overcrowded restaurants, Hongshuang still prefers the small stalls with sheds on the roadside, they are all cultivators, and they are not afraid of the cold, so everyone is naturally happy with him.

Two tables are placed together, and seven people sit opposite each other.

Usual wood

Mian Du rushed to sit opposite Jiang Ning, and after that day, somehow, they all sat next to Chu Chengcheng with Ah Cai, and this seat was naturally occupied by the big grinning and heartless little vixen.

The roadside stalls don't have the dazzling dishes of restaurants and inns, and they only have one dinner today, stewed pork ribs with white radish and winter melon.

The owner of the stall is a couple who have been standing for a long time, the man makes a fire to chop the ribs, and the wife is responsible for washing the dishes and cooking.

It's cold in winter, and the business on this roadside stall is also cold, it's rare to have so many guests patronizing at one time, the man looks very happy, the ribs are all picked up and put a lot of meat into the pot, and the tea and water are also very attentive, but seeing Jiang Ning and his party dressed up in this rich family, just when they are fresh, they don't dare to come up as usual, when they are fine, they go up and chat with the guests.

What can you say about the rich and noble and you as a small vendor?

Jiang Ning didn't care about this, if the man really came up to chat, he didn't mind saying a few words, if he didn't come over, Jiang Ning didn't bother to say much, just looked at the red face of Hongshuang who was immersed in eating, and said with a smile: "You just ordered red bean brown sugar dumplings the night before yesterday, braised beef brisket rice, winter melon and dumplings, steamed glutinous rice, honey gold dates, and a cup of longan ginger tea, and today it is five big bowls of pork ribs, are you a pig?"

"Boss, another bowl!" Hong Shuangzi sucked the last bite of pork rib soup in the bowl, there were still some soup oil stains left on the corner of his mouth, and raised his little hand high, asking the man for food, after saying this, he had to roll his eyes at Jiang Ning, and he was charming: "I belong to a fox." ”

A pair of men with children who were twelve or thirteen years old turned around when they heard the sound, and when they saw the girl's delicate appearance, they were a little stupid for a while, and stood in place for a moment.

Hongshuang's side had long been accustomed to this, but there was nothing, and after finishing speaking, he quarreled with Jiang Ning on the other side.

On the contrary, the wife who had to cook in a hurry because of this big food monster didn't hear her husband's answer to the guest for a long time, turned around, and happened to see her husband staring at someone else's girl in a daze, her brows furrowed, and her fingers followed the man's waist.

The aching man turned around and saw his jealous wife, turned around curtly, and secretly glanced at his wife who went back to cooking, but a gentle smile appeared on his face.

Jiang Ning, who caught a glimpse of this scene out of the corner of his eye, nodded very approvingly, and said with a smile: "Well, it is indeed a fox." ”

During the frolic, Hongshuang's eyes suddenly moved away from Jiang Ning's body and looked at the street where the flow of people gradually began to sparse.

A thin barefoot boy was walking slowly on the street, he was wearing a dirty, tattered linen clothes, carrying a jujube red oil-paper umbrella behind his back, facing the damp and cold north wind at dusk.

Compared with the dirty and tattered linen clothes, although the oil-paper umbrella behind the boy looked a little old, it was very well preserved, and it was clearly an inferior umbrella, with an exposed grip

The handles are a little old, but the oil paper on the surface of the umbrella has not faded at all, and it is clear that although the umbrella is often taken out by the owner, it has never really been used to protect from the wind and rain.

"That umbrella must be very important to him, right?" Hongshuang's eyes stared directly at the young man, or the oil-paper umbrella behind the young man, and said softly.

"It's important. Jiang Ning affirmed.

Looking at the umbrella behind the young man, Jiang Ning inexplicably remembered the spoon that Que'er always carried with him.

Although the spoon was always used by her to make soup and cook, and later it was more useful to knock Jiang Ning's head, but it never left her side for a moment.

"He's a demon. Hongshuang still looked at the red umbrella behind the young man and added, "Squirrel demon." ”

Jiang Ning glanced at Hongshuang in some surprise, he himself couldn't notice the abnormality in this young man's body.

Hongshuang is a demon, and he didn't restrain his demonic spirit too much when he walked on the street.

This is because in the dynasty, whether it is a demon who has changed shape or not, as long as there is a master, the dynasty will not care, but if a demon appears alone in the city of the dynasty, it will inevitably be treated as a prey or demon by others.

It's just that the aura on this young man's body is extremely restrained, and he has already walked to the street near where Jiang Ning and them are sitting at this moment, but Jiang Ning still can't feel the slightest demonic energy, not even a trace of demonic power, and ordinary people must only think that he is a homeless little beggar when they see him.

The green electric pupil quietly opened, and Jiang Ning's eyes flashed with a blue-purple snake-shaped electric light, and what caught his eyes was indeed a squirrel demon with a very long tail.

It's just that the squirrel demon's body seems to be shrouded in a thick layer of fog, and his cultivation is that he has turned on the green electric pupil, and Jiang Ning still can't see it really.

Hongshuang's gaze didn't care at all, until Jiang Ning's green electric pupils turned on and his eyes fell on him, the young man suddenly turned around, his eyes were as cold as ten thousand years of ice, Jiang Ning vaguely felt a trace of murderous aura from the other party's body, and then a faint smile appeared on his face.

"What are you laughing at?" Hongshuang frowned.

Jiang Ning took a spoonful of pork rib soup, put it into his mouth, ignored the girl's question, but raised the spoon, waved his hand at the young man, and said with a smile: "Come and eat a bowl?"

The young man's figure appeared next to the two of them in a flash, and he sat down generously after taking the stool handed over by Jiang Ning, and said, "I don't like to eat meat." ”
