Chapter Twenty-Three: Out of the City
Xiao Yi wandered alone in Qinglan City, staying in the Qin family for a month, but he was suffocated, looking at his empty stomach, he thought, it is better to fill his stomach first.
After all, I have been wandering in Qinglan City for the past few years, and after only a few streets, I saw a tavern with the word 'Mingji' hanging on a piece of red pink oil paper on the beam of the door, and then stepped in through the door.
At a glance, there are a lot of customers in the tavern, and business is doing well. This is a place where Xiao Yat used to come and is very familiar with the owner of this shop.
An old man in his fifties on the counter walked over with a smile on his face as soon as he saw Xiao Yi enter the door, and said, "Yi boy, I haven't seen you for a long time, I thought you weren't coming!" ”
"Uncle Ming, you're joking, I'm worried about the braised pig's trotters in your shop." Xiao Yilang laughed.
"Okay, I'll do it for you." After speaking, the boss shouted and ordered the back kitchen.
Xiao Yi chose a table by the window and sat down, poured a cup of tea, leaned his hands against the window and his feet on the stool, and drank it, which was particularly pleasant.
A moment later, a steaming stream of braised pork trotters was served.
"Yi boy, use it slowly, just say what you need." The old man wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead with the towel around his neck.
"Uncle Ming, I'm sorry for you." Xiao Yi said embarrassedly.
"It's fine."
The old man also kept his feet and was busy greeting other guests.
Probably because he consumed too much vitality today, Xiao Yi looked very indecent and devoured it. In less than a minute, the braised pig's trotters that had just come up were swept away and made up for it.
Xiao Yi sat down for a while, patted his bulging belly, and suddenly his expression flickered, a round ball of meat slipped from his hand, and the soreness and numbness hit his upper arms, Xiao Yi was stunned to see that it was just a five or six-year-old boy licking around with a dinner plate.
The boy has a white and chubby body, a pair of big flickering eyes, with a hint of agility, but the tip of his nose is dripping, and a trace of saliva overflows from the corners of his mouth, which looks very cute in Xiao Yi's opinion.
"Uncle Ming, another plate of braised pig's trotters." Xiao Yi screamed.
"Okay."
The old man replied.
Xiao Yi looked at the boy carefully, dressed in plain clothes, he should not be a child in a big family, but there was a purple-red crystal hanging on his chest, looking at his hungry appearance, Xiao Yi guessed that he was afraid that he and his family were lost.
The boy was afraid that he hadn't eaten for a long time, Xiao Yi snatched the plate from the boy's hand, and put his palm on the boy, and the boy cowered and stepped back, thinking that he was going to be beaten. The palm of his hand stopped on the top of the boy's head, Xiao Yi had a smile on his face, and gently stroked the boy's hair.
"Hungry! My brother invites you to eat something delicious. ”
Xiao Yi's actions suddenly won the boy's favor and eliminated the estrangement between the two.
"Thanks, big brother." The boy said in a weak voice.
After the dish was served, the boy was like a whirlwind in the clouds, and instantly inhaled a plate of braised pork trotters, frantically inhaling, and Xiao Yat was also amazed at the boy's appetite. To avoid that the boy was not full, Xiao Yat ordered some more dishes until the boy was full.
After the meal.
"Little brother, what about your family, why did you come out alone!" Xiao Yi asked.
"I don't know, I can't find my father, and I don't know the way here, so I got lost." The boy burst into tears.
Xiao Yi thought that there were no trivial matters on his body, and then smiled slightly: "It's okay, my brother will take you to find your father." ”
"Really?" The boy's joy blossomed.
Xiao Yi wiped the corner of the boy's oily mouth with his thumb, hooked the bridge of the boy's nose and said, "Will my brother still lie to you?" ”
??
In the north and south corners of Qinglan City, a convoy gathered, with wheelbarrows tied to black giant trees, and a team of ten people gathered around, each wearing a cotton cloth wrapped in tiger skin.
A middle-aged man in his thirties, very stocky, seemed to be the leader of the other nine, and his brows were furrowed.
"Brother Li, except for some family mansions, we have searched all over other areas, but we can't find Bao'er." A big man with low eyebrows stepped forward and said.
"Could it be that Bao'er stole into those family territories, but with our identity, we can't enter at all." The middle-aged man's expression became nervous.
Between his thoughts, a young man happened to take the treasure in his mouth and walked past him.
The big man with low eyebrows on the side also saw this scene, he was naturally short-tempered, stretched out his arms, and swung his fist towards the young man.
The young man reacted sensitively, felt the strong wind coming from behind him, pushed the boy on the side out, and the strength surged to the palm of his hand, and a palm blasted out, colliding with the big man's fist wind.
"Phew"
The strong wind was blowing, and the young man's arm trembled, which was to remove the force, and the big man with low eyebrows took a few steps back.
"What does Your Excellency want to do, we don't seem to have any grudges!"
This young man is Xiao Yi, and in the fight just now, he preliminarily judged that the person in front of him had the strength of condensation. It's just that he doesn't understand why someone came to attack him, and this person looks like he is angry.
"Condensation Realm Eightfold."
With Xiao Yi's calmness, the heart of the low-eyebrow man undoubtedly set off turbulent waves, his strength, in this Qinglan City, even looked like a teenager who was only fourteen or fifteen years old.
"Little brother, maybe it's a misunderstanding, this child is my child."
I saw a middle-aged man, holding the boy just now. The boy scratched the middle-aged man's face. The sudden scene also made Xiao Yi smile helplessly, knowing the reason for the matter.
After getting along for a while, Xiao Yi also knew something, this middle-aged man's name was Yang Dali, and the little boy was his son Yang Bao'er, and the person who had just fought with him was a man named Yang Fugui.
They lived in Yangjia Village, which was sixty miles away from Qinglan City, and it was a small village, and Yang Dali was their village head, because his strength had nine levels of condensation realm.
I also came to Qinglan City a few times a year, because the buyer ordered to transport some black iron wood for refining, and to trade in Qinglan City, so Yang Dali also brought Yang Bao'er, one to transport wood, and the other to take him to see the prosperity of Qinglan City. Unexpectedly, when they arrived in Qinglan City, the buyers didn't buy it, and said that they didn't let them deliver it at all. Yang Dali couldn't reason with the buyer for a while, so he didn't let Yang Baoer follow. But he was still blasted out, and when he came back, Yang Baoer just lost it.
"Uncle Strong, I want all these black ironwoods, you can make a price!" During the conversation, Xiao Yat said.
"How can this work, this black ironwood is useless to you, you don't have to coil it down for us." Yang Dali stopped and was a little silent at the moment.
Xiao Yi smiled slightly: "Uncle Dali, I don't know, I'm a refiner, besides, I can still afford these black ironwoods, and since you have entered Qinglan City, how can you go back empty-handed." ”
Yang Fugui on the side said impatiently: "Brother Li, it's getting late, let's transport these black ironwood back, I'm afraid that the road will not be easy to walk by then, so it's better to sell it to this little brother." ”
Yang Dali thought for a while, didn't hesitate, gritted his teeth and said to Xiao Yi: "Little brother, although there is a lot of black iron and wood, it is not worth much, just give me 10 gold coins." ”
"Uncle Dali, I'll give you 15 gold coins, this price is the fairest." Xiao Yi directly took out the gold coin on his body and put it into Yang Dali's palm.
Such a free and unrestrained personality also made Yang Dali look a little higher, and he had some speculation about Xiao Yi's identity.
"How are these black ironwoods placed?"
Since you have received the money, of course you have to do things.
Xiao Yi took the group to the original refining room, and spent half an hour helping him carry a pile of black iron and wood into it.
After everything was done, Yang Dali also breathed a sigh of relief, hugged his fists at Xiao Yi and said, "Little brother, you helped me find Lin'er today, and you did me such a favor, and I haven't asked for your name yet." ”
Seeing this, Xiao Yi waved his hand and said, "It's just a trivial matter, my name is Xiao Yi." ”
Hearing this, Yang Dali pondered for a while, originally seeing that Xiao Yi was so talented, he thought that he was a child of one of the three families of Qin, Ye, and Li, but he was not.
"Brother Xiao, at a young age, he is already an eightfold condensation realm, and he is really talented." Yang Dali smiled.
"Uncle Dali, it's a joke, it's just luck." Xiao Yi replied flatly.
Yang Dali was slightly stunned, and said secretly: Not humble, not arrogant, not arrogant, this Xiao Yi is presumably a character in the future, and it is good to make friends.
"Brother Xiao, since you have helped us so much, we can't repay us, so it's better to come to my Yangjia Village as a guest." Yang asked tentatively.
"Good! I just want to go out and have some travel! Xiao Yi readily agreed.
After Xiao Yi packed up, he left Qinglan City with Yang Dali and his group.
