Chapter 119: The Little Thief in Buckmouth Town
Yan Chang pointed to the wharf and said: "This is called Buckmouth Town, it is the most prosperous town near our Changshazhou, and the ancient merchants went to Changshazhou to do business, and they had to transit here, because the mouth of the Changsha River is narrow, and the big ships that transport goods from the Yangtze River come here, and they have to change to small boats to get in, and some merchants unload their goods here, so they use horse-drawn carriages to transport them."

Sisi saw that although the ground on the dock was slippery, there were many people coming and going, so he asked, "Yan Chang, are you familiar with this place?"
Yan Chang said a little sarcastically: "Of course, when I was a child, my father often brought me here, there are many opportunities to make money here, you can help someone move a bag of goods, you can get two copper plates." ”
Sisi saw that the bags of goods were about more than 100 catties, and the waists were bent, and he couldn't help but shake his head and said, "Two copper plates are not easy to earn." ”
A group of people walked into the town, and this buckwheat town slipped along the riverside with shops, and people came and went everywhere, so it was not lively.
Wu Fei said: "I've heard about Buckmouth Town for a long time, but I didn't expect it to be so lively. ”
"By the way, Boss, we have entered the town, so we still have to be careful. ”
Yan Chang reminded.
"What do you mean to be careful?"
"Be careful, there are a lot of thieves here, and the ability to steal is top-notch. ”
Sisi smiled when he heard this: "I hope that there is really a thief to fight us, just to teach us a lesson!"
Yan Chang laughed and said, "Yes, this is a good idea, I used to pretend to be a grandson in everything, but now I don't have to worry about this!" he smiled, and many people cast surprised glances at them.
Wu Fei frowned and said, "You two don't make trouble for me, tomorrow I will go to see Prince Zhu, and I must find a way to make him stop the army." ”
Lin Xihan suddenly pointed to a double-storey pavilion with red lanterns not far away and said, "Then, what kind of store is that, and how is it different from other shops?"
It was a rather elegantly decorated pavilion, and there was a woman with heavy makeup upstairs waving her red sleeves at the man passing below, Yan Chang glanced at it, and said with a smile: "That's, I don't know if there is one on the Tianxing Continent." ”
Lin Xihan said curiously: "?"
Wu Fei hurriedly pulled Lin Xihan to the other side of the street and said, "It is the most unclean place, and some women are soliciting guests. ”
Lin Xihan read it twice, suddenly his face flushed, took a sip, and didn't ask any more questions.
Out of the town, the flow of people was not as much as just now, Wu Fei looked at the sky, and said: "Otherwise, let's find a place to rest, and now rush back to Changshazhou, it's a bit rushed, and it shouldn't take much time for me to rush to King Chu's mansion from here early tomorrow morning." ”
The three of them nodded, and at this moment, a young man came on the street, this young man looked like he was fourteen or fifteen years old, wearing a gray cloth shirt with holes, bruises on his arms, and black mud spots on his feet.
The young man held a large handful of gardenias in his hand, came closer, looked a few people up and down, and said to Wu Fei: "Big brother, you can buy flowers, these two beautiful sisters are the same as fairies, and they deserve this gardenia!"
The fragrance of gardenias is extremely strong, and Sisi smiled: "What a fragrant flower, little brother, how do you sell your flowers?"
The young man said: "One copper plate and one branch, pick at will, buy two and get one free!"
Wu Fei didn't want to buy it, but seeing that Sisi and Lin Xihan were both happy, he took out a piece of silver stone and gave it to the young man, and said, "Okay, I'll buy this, okay?"
Who knew that Yan Chang snatched Wu Fei's silver stone and said, "It's just a few copper plates, I have them!" He grabbed a handful of copper coins from his arms, handed them to the young man, and said to Sisi and Lin Xihan: "You pick them yourself." ”
Wu Fei secretly laughed at Yan Chang's scheming, and took a handful of copper plates to replace his silver stone.
The young man handed the gardenia to Wu Fei, then took Yan Chang's copper plate, bowed to them and said with a smile: "So many copper plates, big brother, you are really good people, these are all for you." With that, he turned and ran, and in an instant he was gone.
Wu Fei felt that this young man was smiling innocently, his heart moved, and he said secretly: "He must be very happy to sell so many flowers, maybe he has an old mother sick in bed at home, and I can be regarded as doing a good thing." He gave the gardenia to Sisi and Lin Xihan.
Sisi was elated, picked one and inserted it in her sideburns, she was already beautiful, and at this time she added a bit of wildness, but Lin Xihan held the flower to her chest, smelled the fragrance of the flower, and looked intoxicated.
The four of them continued to look for the hotel, Wu Fei felt that something was wrong, he reached out and touched his waist, stomped his foot, and shouted, "Not good!"
Yan Chang and the others were startled, and asked in unison, "What's wrong?"
Wu Fei said with a smile: "Mine, my treasure bag is gone!"
Sisi and several people exclaimed together: "It's the kid who sells flowers!"
Wu Fei smiled bitterly: "I'm afraid yes." ”
Sisi crossed his hands on his hips and snorted, "Dare to steal the cultivator's treasure bag, this kid is doomed!"
Wu Fei and Bao Bao had a sense, he discerned the direction, and said, "Go, that kid is there!" Several people turned around, although Wu Fei knew the location of the treasure bag, but he was not familiar with the streets here, and several people went around the street for a long time before they walked on a remote dirt road.
The road is really muddy, walk for a long time to see a separate courtyard, the house in the courtyard is very dilapidated, almost can be described as a ruined wall, there is a bamboo fence outside, before approaching, I heard the sound of shouting and scolding from inside.
Several people came to the edge of the bamboo fence, looked in through the gap, and saw a woman, two boys and three children standing in line there, and the young man who sold flowers just now was also among them, he was the tallest, standing at the end.
The three children stood there trembling slightly, as if they were terrified. A middle-aged man with a finger-thick bamboo branch in his hand paced up and down in front of three children, and there was a chaise longue at the door of the house, on which lay a fat man, who was dozing off with his bare stomach.
The middle-aged man who was pacing looked very obscene, with a pair of triangular eyes, a goatee, and a fortune teller's yin and yang robe.
The shortest girl stepped forward tremblingly, and her harvest for the day was a small back bag, from which she poured out an account book, a few pieces of dry food, seven or eight copper coins, and finally, a pair of straw sandals poured out of the back bag. The middle-aged man smiled and picked up the draft shoes, and suddenly slapped a shoe board on the girl's head, and scolded: "Are you a pig, you went out for a day, and you came back with such a broken thing!"
The girl's nosebleed suddenly flowed, and she said in horror: "Yes, it's the master, everyone in this town knows me, and I won't have a chance to do it wherever I go!"
The middle-aged man pulled away the shoe board again, and scolded: "You dare to talk back!"
