Chapter Eighty-Three: The City of Hopeless

The light of the moon was scattered in the silence of Hopeless City, after walking for a day, everyone was also a little tired, and soon fell asleep, at this time it was already midnight, a slight footstep passed by the door, Xia Gongzi's ears moved, and he got up quickly, and at this time, Shi Yingjun also noticed the footsteps walking at the door, although it was slight, but he could still feel that someone was walking through the door.

Xia Gongzi opened the door, walked out quietly, and followed behind the man, and this man was the man who passed by Xia Gongzi when he went up the stairs during the day, the man was walking in front, the moonlight was shining on his body, and there was an elongated shadow on the ground.

In the street market of Hopeless City, there was no one, in the hazy moonlight, the man walked cautiously looking around, walked from the west side of Hopeless City, and came to the gate of Ruan's mansion, the man made a secret sound with his hand on his mouth, the housekeeper of Ruan's mansion opened the door, and the housekeeper of Ruan's mansion looked left and right when he opened the door, and then gently closed the door.

After the man followed the housekeeper of Ruan Mansion into the house, he went to Ruan Jingmo's room, at this time, Xia Gongzi stood not far from the door of Ruan Mansion and watched quietly, and suddenly a person came behind him, Xia Gongzi turned around and saw Shi Yingjun.

"Why are you here?" asked Xia Gongzi curiously.

"I sensed someone passing by the door. Shi Yingjun also sensed that someone passed by his door, and after getting up, he also quietly followed, but he didn't expect to meet Xia Gongzi.

"That person has already walked in from the Nguyen Mansion. Xia Gongzi looked at the wall of Ruan's mansion and said.

"Otherwise, let's go in and have a look. Shi Yingjun nodded, and Shi Yingjun and Xia Gongzi jumped up and flew onto the wall.

Xia Gongzi and Shi Yingjun climbed onto the roof of Ruan's Mansion and walked on the roof, Shi Yingjun looked at the attic courtyard in the moonlight, thinking that this Ruan Mansion was no worse than Shifu.

Xia Gongzi and Shi Yingjun walked past the rooftops of several attics, and stopped near a room with a candle flame, thinking that this should be the place. Xia Gongzi and Shi Yingjun gently uncovered the tiles on the roof and looked at it, it was the man who appeared in the spirit mirror, Ruan Jingmo, and the man who came out of the Lingluo Inn just now were discussing something.

But he couldn't hear what they were talking about, and he could only see Ruan Jingmo frowning, as if he was unhappy. After a while, the man walked out of Ruan's mansion, Ruan Jingmo sat on the chair, with a serious and angry face, Ruan Jingmo sat on the chair for a moment and got up and walked out of the study.

Ruan Jingmo returned to his house, all the lights in Ruan's Mansion were turned off, and Xia Gongzi and Shi Yingjun left Ruan's Mansion. Back at the Lingluo Inn, they gently pushed open the door and returned to their house.

Early in the morning, everyone got up early and went to the street market in Hopeless City, which was a little different from the ordinary street market.

"Boss, how much do you have for this?" Shi Ziying ran over and took a fancy to a hairpin, and the boss looked at Shi Ziying and did not speak.

Shi Ziying picked up the hairpin and looked at it carefully, this one was finely made, with a small triangular pattern carved on it, which seemed a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen this pattern. It is a hairpin with a very unique style. The boss glanced at Shi Ziying and took the hairpin.

"Girl, this hairpin is not for you. The boss took the hairpin in his hand and looked Shi Ziying up and down.

"There's never been something that this girl wants to buy that she can't buy. Shi Ziying saw that the boss took the hairpin and wanted to bring the hairpin, but the boss looked unhappy. Shi Ziying took out a gold ingot and wanted to buy a hairpin, but the boss was indifferent when he saw the ingot of gold.

"Girl, although you have the vision to take a fancy to this hairpin, our Hopeless City pays attention to fate, you are not suitable for this hairpin, and you will not sell it for any amount. The boss put the hairpin back in its place.

"I don't believe in how your boss does business, and you won't sell it for as much as you want. Shi Ziying said and took out the silver and gold in his pocket, and the boss looked at Shi Ziying, but still refused to sell it to Shi Ziying.

"Cousin, I'm going to buy this hairpin. Shi Ziying saw that the boss was unwilling to sell the hairpin no matter how much money it was, so she looked at Quartz Jun helplessly, thinking that she was unwilling, and she had never encountered something that she couldn't buy if she wanted to. And Quartz Jun didn't want others to wait for Shi Ziying to buy hairpins and delay the matter of finding Han Sumu.

Shi Yingjun had no choice but to comfort Shi Ziying and said, "Actually, this hairpin is really not suitable for you, and it is not as good-looking as the one on your head." ”

"If you don't sell it, I don't want it yet. Shi Ziying took back the silver and gold, and when he heard Shi Yingjun praise the original hairpin on his head like this, he gave up the urge to buy this hairpin, and there was still a trace of joy in his heart, and he touched his original hairpin on his head with his hand.

The street market of Hopeless City, compared with the market of the late past, can be regarded as prosperous, and in this street market, the only difference from the late past is that the late past is full of enthusiasm and romance, and the people of the late past are very enthusiastic. And the people of Hopeless City seem to be very weird, and they pay attention to fate in everything, but they don't have the enthusiasm of the people in the past.

They walked past a bun shop, ready to have some breakfast. The shopkeeper brought up a few hot buns. After picking up the bun and taking a few bites, Xia Gongzi noticed the swords straddled diagonally on the two men at the table next to him, and the triangular pattern was also on the scabbard.

"The mother and son still don't eat or drink?" said the man at the table next to him. While picking up the bun in his hand and taking a bite.

After the two men finished eating the buns, they got up and left, and after everyone settled the bill, they also followed, and they quietly followed behind the two men, although there was some distance, but they could also see which direction they were going.

They followed closely behind the two men, walked around a few corners, stopped at the door of a secluded tavern, and the two men looked around and walked into the tavern.

"Woody tavern. These two men went in early in the morning for a drink?" Looking up, four obvious words hung in front of the store.

They then walked up, and were about to enter the Muxiang Tavern, but they were stopped by the shopkeeper, who looked up and down, looked at the people in front of him who were not dressed like Hopeless City, glanced at them, and turned around and was about to walk in.

Xia Gongzi stopped the shopkeeper, who looked at Xia Gongzi and said, "Can you drink?" ”

"Needless to say, five jars of wine per person, and we can afford ten jars of wine per person. As she spoke, Shi Ziying took out a gold ingot and handed it to the shopkeeper, but the shopkeeper did not accept the gold that was delivered.

"Girl, are you from a foreign country? We don't pay attention to money in Hopeless City, and all of us who come from this tavern can drink, not a matter of affording it. It's a question of whether you can drink it or not. The guests who come to the Muxiang Tavern are here to drink and have a good time. The shopkeeper looked at the ingot of gold in Shi Ziying's hand, indifferent, glanced at Shi Ziying, turned around and wanted to leave, not wanting to do the business of these people in front of him.

"I can drink it. Xia Gongzi stopped in front of the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper looked at Xia Gongzi from top to bottom. Shaking his head, he thought to himself that these strangers had the temperament of a scholar in their elegance, and they said that they could drink it, and they didn't believe Xia Gongzi's words at all.
