Chapter 2 The old enemy comes to the door

Happy Dang is an industry under the name of Lejia, which is the only pawnshop in Guxian Town. However, the Le family is the richest family in Guxian Town, and in the entire Guxian Town, the influence of the Le family is much greater than that of the emperor thousands of miles away.

Its properties include pawnshops, money houses, restaurants, tea houses, pharmacies, grain shops, blacksmith shops, brothels, gambling houses, etc., all of which are closely related to the livelihood of the people. All of these industries are concentrated in one street, and all of them are named after the word "joy", so this street is also called "joy street".

Although the town of Guxian is small, it is extremely rich in products. The Dagu Mountain Range is divided into two sections, north and south, and the North Gushan is rich in iron ore, jade, and some other rare minerals. Nangushan is rich in all kinds of precious medicinal materials, and there is also the world-famous Guxian tea.

Guxian tea is produced in the southern section of Dagu Mountain. Lone fairy tea grows on a lonely peak, unattainable, and there is no way to pick it. Every few hundred years, only a few tea leaves float down from the top of the peak for the world to enjoy. It is said that each piece of tea can prolong a person's life for 300 years. There was once a cultivator who wanted to climb to the top and remove the immortal tea. However, they found that they could not get close at all, and if they were forced to pick, their lives would be in danger.

It is rumored that this solitary immortal tea was planted by an ancient solitary immortal. Some people also say that the lone immortal was an invincible and strong man in ancient times. Some people also say that he is the only person who has attained immortal cultivation since ancient times. As the days go by, there are different opinions, and there is no way to verify it. For thousands of years, there have been many people who want to remove the Lonely Immortal Tea, but they all return empty-handed. It is said that every few hundred years, a group of strong people will fall under the lonely peak.

Therefore, in this small lonely immortal town, there is no shortage of people who seek immortals and ask questions. There were also many literati, dignitaries, and even more businessmen. They are all here for the rare and valuable products here.

Acropolis took the jade pendant straight to Happy Street, looked around and entered Happy Dang. Although the name is joyful, there are few people who come in and out without a sad face. Poor to the point of making a living by pawning, who can be happy.

Only people like Acropolis who have eaten the last meal and the next meal can get some joy here, after all, for him, it is already a great gift to eat and live. Even if it's a bowl of dog rice, he can eat it with relish, not to mention the money that everyone in the world loves.

The Acropolis hadn't touched any money for more than half a month, and after entering the pawnshop, it was inevitable that he would be nervous and excited. There were many people in the joyful scene, but when they saw the Acropolis, they were all full of disdain. The Acropolis naturally recognized them, these people are all famous in the town for stealing, gambling, and prostituting, and some of them are all three.

Of course, there are also some honest poor people among them. Even if you are poor, it is difficult to have a good face when you see the beggar appearance of the Acropolis. In order to survive these years, the Acropolis has to do something to steal chickens and dogs. Guxian Town is not big, and everyone knows their own details.

The beggar is the bottom of the bottom, not to mention that the Acropolis is just a little beggar. And these people are inferior to others on weekdays, and only when facing a smaller role like the Acropolis can they show their arrogance to the fullest.

The Acropolis pursed his lips, but ignored them. People are sophisticated, poor in the downtown no one asks, rich in the mountains have distant relatives. That's a real phrase. Acropolis took out the jade pendant, handed it to the counter, and waited to get the money.

The shopkeeper was an old man in his sixties, with a white beard, a wrinkled face, and a thief's eyes. The old shopkeeper held the jade pendant in his hand, looked back and forth at the light, and then stared at the Acropolis for a long time. At this time, everyone else in the pawnshop also came to watch.

Although the old shopkeeper's face was not revealed, the thief's eyes could not be faked. Those prostitutes, gamblers, and thieves are the most observant, and even those poor and honest people have guessed that this jade pendant is definitely a treasure. Everyone stared at the Acropolis, jealousy, resentment, and resentment.

When everyone was speculating where the Acropolis had stolen such a treasure, the old shopkeeper shouted: "A piece of jade is worth five hundred taels of silver, and the current period is one year." With a bang, the whole joy suddenly boiled. No one could have imagined that a mere beggar would have such a treasure.

Five hundred taels of silver, which is not a small amount. The annual expenses of ordinary people in Guxian Town are only a dozen taels of silver, and even the poor honest people are red-eyed. One of the gamblers said angrily: "This little thief is so lucky, and he doesn't know where to steal such a treasure!"

Acropolis couldn't bear it anymore, and replied with disdain: "This is the ancestral heirloom of the little master, and you will rarely see it once in your life." When the gambler heard this, he was even more angry, pointed at the Acropolis and scolded: "The little thief still dares to talk back and beg for a beating!", and as he spoke, he rolled up his sleeves and beat people.

Acropolis took a step back and shouted loudly: "You dare to beat people in this joy, how can Lejia be a place where you can go wild!", at this time, the old shopkeeper also stared at the gambler, and said in a deep voice: "Although this little brother is young, his words are good, who dares to make trouble in this joy, I'm afraid that I won't be able to eat and walk around!"

The gambler snorted, not daring to say more. The old shopkeeper smiled and asked Acropolis: "Five hundred taels is not too much, but not too little, does this little brother want silver tickets or cash?" ”

The old shopkeeper nodded, asked Acropolis to wait a moment, and then instructed his men: "Go to the money village quickly, and do what this little brother asks." Then he gave the Acropolis a pawn ticket, handed it over with a smile, and said, "This is your pawn ticket, be careful to put it away." ”

I didn't know a single big character in the Acropolis, so I didn't look at the pawn ticket without looking at it, and put it directly into my arms. It was completely useless to him. The treasure of five hundred taels of silver, with his little beggar, cannot be redeemed in a few lifetimes. Besides, he didn't even think about redeeming it.

After a while, the young man turned back and handed the acropolis ten taels of silver along with a dry deposit. The Acropolis weighed the money and carefully put away the receipt. After everything was in order, Acropolis went to the Happy Restaurant again, ordered some meat dishes, and packed them away. This mood is so happy!

Suddenly, there was a scream, and the Acropolis fell into the mud. The incident happened suddenly, and the Acropolis hurriedly protected the food, and fell in severe pain. Acropolis knew that someone was secretly making a trip, and he immediately became angry, and when he got up, he scolded: "Which king dares to make a trip for the little master!"

"Bold!"

A soft cry came, and the Acropolis secretly screamed badly, turned his head and ran, and looked as embarrassed as he was. The Acropolis did not dare to stay, and a smoke slipped into the crowd, and after a while, the shadow disappeared. In front of the Happy Restaurant, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl in green looked at the crowd and stomped her feet angrily.

This girl is none other than the little princess of the Le family, named Le Siyi. Although Le Siyi is young, he is an old enemy with the Acropolis. Two years ago, Acropolis had snatched her purse. At that time, Acropolis didn't know that she was the little princess of Lejia. I saw her wandering alone on the street, and she hung the money bag around her waist, which was very eye-catching.

Acropolis saw that she was a yellow-haired girl, and she dared to wander around alone with a lot of money, so she made a move. didn't want the other party to learn kung fu, so he threw him to the ground and beat him up in just three or two moves. Since that time, every time I meet him on the street, the Acropolis has to be taught a lesson.

This little girl holds grudges the most, Acropolis scolded her just now, presumably the future will not be easy. The Acropolis fled all the way to the streets, and remembered the old way, so he secretly turned back, planning to go to the pharmacy to buy some medicine and go back to the old way to heal.

Le Siyi chased all the way, but did not know that the Acropolis had turned back. She stood on the street and looked around, but she couldn't find the Acropolis, so she opened her mouth and scolded: "What a thief, you can run the monk can't run the temple!"

............

This broken temple in the south of the city was originally the lonely immortal temple in Lone Immortal Town, which was built to worship Lone Immortal, but it has been abandoned for many years. I don't know when this lonely immortal temple was built, and no one worshiped for many years, and it was occupied by Chen Xiaoyi and the Acropolis a few years ago, and became a beggar's nest. It is said that there was a murder in this lonely immortal temple many years ago, and the old temple in the temple was killed for some reason. Later, it was rumored to be haunted, and it has been an ominous place ever since.

Naturally, older beggars don't want to live in this place. But Chen Xiaoyi and the Acropolis couldn't manage so much, not to mention that nothing happened after they came. If it weren't for the old road that broke in last night, the lives of these two people would be peaceful.

Time passed in a flash, and it was almost noon, but the Acropolis had not yet returned. Chen Xiaoyi guarded the old way alone, but he didn't dare to look at him. That white and bloodless face is really terrifying. Chen Xiaoyi only felt like he was guarding a dead ghost and was tormented.

Although the old way is not dead, his breath is very weak. Chen Xiaoyi privately felt that this old way might not live long. At this time, a rush of footsteps came from far and near, and soon entered the ruined temple. Chen Xiaoyi listened to the footsteps and knew that it was not the Acropolis. At that moment, his mind turned sharply, and he pulled the thin quilt to cover the old way, and stood up.

"Hey, it's you!"

Chen Xiaoyi saw the person who came clearly, and couldn't help but exclaim. He naturally recognized the little princess of Lejia, and Acropolis didn't know how many times he had cursed her behind his back. Acropolis is not afraid of heaven and earth, but he is most afraid of the little girl in front of him. Chen Xiaoyi naturally knew about the grievances between them, but he didn't expect that the other party would come to this ruined temple.

Le Siyi angrily broke into the ruined temple, but he didn't see the Acropolis, so he stared at Chen Xiaoyi and asked, "Let me ask you, have you ever come back to the Acropolis?", Chen Xiaoyi couldn't help but be stunned, the other party really came to seek revenge. But I don't know why the Acropolis got into trouble with her again today, which is a bit of trouble now.
