Xu An stood up and walked outside the shop, looking around, not knowing what he was looking at.

This town is not very big, basically the townspeople who have lived here for generations, at first everyone was a little wary of seeing this young man come here with a sword, but the young man was very generous, rented a very ordinary shop, and usually just sat in the shop and did not walk outside, so the townspeople got along with him relatively harmoniously.

Harmony is harmony, the business of his soup shop is not very good, the local townspeople will not buy his soup to drink, most people will choose to buy two catties of beef even if they want to drink it and go home to boil it themselves, and outsiders will not run to this place where birds don't.

Since the boy came, the local townspeople had more to talk about after dinner, nothing more than calculating how long it would take for the young man to earn enough rent for the shop, and when the boy would leave these cool words.

"Little Er, how much is it. ”

Just when Xu An was about to forget that there was still a guest drinking soup in the shop, the strong man wiped his mouth and walked out, seeing that the expression on his face seemed to be satisfied with the taste of the soup.

"Thirty bucks. Xu An replied casually without looking back.

"What? You actually cost 30 yuan for this soup? Ordinary beef soup only costs 10 yuan, even if you are a little bit out of the place to buy something, it will be at most 15 yuan, aren't you robbing?" The big man untied the gold-wire ring knife from his waist, held the knife in his right hand, and slapped the back of the knife on the palm of his left hand regularly.

Xu An was speechless when he saw this picture, and shook his head helplessly, is this me robbing or you are going to rob?

So he explained to Dahan very seriously: "That's the case, this big brother, my soup is indeed sold for ten yuan a bowl." But just now a guest drank two bowls of soup from me and didn't pay for it, as you know, it's not easy to sell soup in this kind of place, so I can't lose money. ”

Xu An said as he pointed to the two half-empty soup bowls beside him.

When Dahan heard this, he first froze, then looked in the direction of Xu An's finger, and found that there were indeed two half-empty soup bowls on the table. So he put away the knife and put it on his back, and began to take out the purse from his waist to prepare for the money.

Xu An was shocked when he saw this picture, and almost dropped his jaw, could it be true that the more developed the limbs, the simpler the mind?

In fact, it was not that this big man was stupid and had a lot of money, but when he looked in the direction of Xu An's finger, he saw the black sword in the furnace, and the big man naturally saw at a glance that it was definitely not an ordinary sword.

Besides, although the kid in front of him is not very old, he is not afraid at all when he sees himself drawing a knife, and even blatantly wants to bully himself. If it were an ordinary person, he would either run away or kneel on the ground and beg for mercy, but this young man was so calm that it only showed two things.

Either this young man is looking for death, or he has the strength, as the so-called good death is better than living, Dahan naturally does not believe that there are people in this world who want to die, so he chose to retreat, for the thirty dollars is really not worth the risk.

"Give, thirty dollars. The big man took out the money and put it on the table heroically, raised his leg and was about to go west.

"Wait. Seeing this, Xu An called out to the big man.

If it were an ordinary person, I am afraid that at this time, I would have already couldn't help but rush up and beat Xu An violently, but this big man was far less rough than he seemed on the surface, stopped and turned around, looked at Xu An and said, "The money is settled, what else is the matter?"

"Do you know where the West is?" Xu An said.

"Wangshu Tower. ”

"I know it's Wangshulou, but I still want to send it to death?"

"I'm going to go to Wangshu Tower, not to challenge Wangshu Tower, how can there be any death. ”

"For Wangshulou, further west is a challenge for them. Wangshulou only selected disciples from the sect, but did not wait for anyone to go to this point. ”

"You know a lot about Wangshulou?"

"That's natural, there are still three months left in the Spirit Master Conference, why should you be in a hurry, it's better to work as a helper with me for three months, it's always good to eat and drink well and send you to death. ”

"Helper, farewell!"

Dahan was still a little interested, but as soon as he heard the word "helper" in Xu An's mouth, he immediately turned around and was about to go on the road, saying so much, he just wanted to find a helper.

"Alas, it will be indefinite. The wind is sluggish and the water is cold, and the strong man will never return. Hiss~ It's really cold. Xu An pretended to tighten his clothes again as he spoke, and it seemed that he really felt a little colder.

The corners of Dahan's mouth twitched when he heard this, and he didn't look back to pay attention to him, and then walked west.

Xu An may have been bored, so he took out the sword from the stove and took it out, and as soon as he touched the blade, he shivered again: "It's really hot." ”

The big man really couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around and roared: "Are you finished? Are you sick when it's cold for a while and hot for a while?"

Xu An was taken aback by his reaction, and hurriedly said: "I mean Jian Fever, why are you in a hurry, go west to Wangshu Tower, you can't just go." ”

The big man didn't quarrel with him, and walked back to the shop and stood, motionless, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Why don't you leave?" Xu An stepped forward and asked tentatively.

"Me. I'll have another bowl of soup. ”

"Thirty bucks. ”

"I've only twenty left. Dahan didn't bargain with him, and took out his purse and said.

"That's fine. Xu An thought seriously for a while and returned.

Then Xu An took the money and put a bowl of soup on the table in front of him, and the big man held the soup and began to drink it.

"You really can't bear to leave your wife and children to die by yourself?" Xu An didn't know where he got the interest, it seemed that he wanted to leave this big man as his helper.

"I haven't married or had children yet. Dahan was drinking soup, choked on his words, and replied a little embarrassed.

"It seems that you haven't married a wife at your age?" Xu An looked a little incredulous.

"How old am I? I'm only eighteen. ”

Xu An was completely shocked when he heard this, and looked up and down at the man in front of him who claimed to be eighteen-year-old, and found that although this big man was a little taller and stronger, his face really didn't look like a middle-aged man, he didn't have thick eyebrows and beard, and his eyes looked a little green.

"That, what is this eighteen-year-old man called?" Xu Anqiang held back a smile and asked jokingly.

"Cheng Wu. Cheng Wu didn't argue with him either, and replied honestly.

"My name is Xu An, please advise. ”

"I didn't agree to be your helper. ”

"Then you will continue to go west, and earn you fifty spirits, and it will be a big deal to help you collect the body. Xu An clapped his hands, put away his sword and said.

"Even if I don't go to Wangshu Tower, I can go back, it's not a big deal to come back in three months, why do I need to work as a helper here?" Cheng Wu said after taking a big sip of soup.

"Oh, go back, do you have any money?" Xu An looked at Cheng Wu with a smile, put the money given by Cheng Wu in his sleeve and put it away, and patted it gently.

"This, this, I would have had it. Cheng Wu suddenly reacted, and his money was cheated away by this cunning boss.

"If you don't have money, don't talk nonsense, clean up the dishes and chopsticks after drinking the soup. After Xu An finished speaking, he walked into the shop.

Outside the shop, only Cheng Wu was holding a soup bowl, Cheng Wu was thinking carefully about what happened today, always feeling that something was wrong, and he really couldn't figure it out, no matter how he thought about it, he felt that Xu An had saved his life, but he felt that the problem should not be so simple, so he simply stopped thinking about these things, drank the remaining soup in the bowl and began to clean up the table in silence.

There is a small courtyard in the shop, the front shop and the back house, and it is not a problem to live.
