Chapter 6: The Smoke of the Town

This time they were really not far from the town, and the more they walked, the more they found that there were fewer barrens and weeds along the way, and they would definitely be able to reach it in less than half a day, and the best thing was that this populated town was not far from Jesch.

Yesh is a trading city at the junction of the east and the west, and it is only there that they can be regarded as touching the threshold of the east, and from there they can no longer see the edge of the mountain even if they are on tiptoe.

After sunset, the trio dragged their feet, and the grass before entering the town was in trouble again, only this time it was someone else's trouble.

All they could see from afar was a fire on the grass, and there was a voice.

"Can you tell which direction it is?"

"Nope!"

"Then keep looking for me, if anyone can't find it today, we're all doomed."

After a moment of silence, Yueyi took the initiative to say, "I'll go up and take a look." ”

Shang Rui was behind, "Eh, I'll go..." but didn't stop Yue Yi, who was having a good time.

Yueyi has a special skill - hidden, she has lived in Xuannian Mountain for so many years, she has always been like a marginal figure, and has not attracted too much attention from others, so that she can live a quiet and comfortable life. So she is proud of her hidden skills.

She is now very good at not being in the crowd, taking the opportunity to quietly observe the lives of others, and although she does not participate in it, she can enjoy the pleasure of omniscience.

At this time, when the moon is bright and the stars are sparse and the breeze is blowing, even the insects can be heard very clearly. Yueyi quietly blends with the air, and the leaves can even communicate with the earth through her. It's a good day, too, but there is a lack of people to stop and admire. Yueyi didn't have the heart to look at the sky, she quietly followed the group of people, and saw that they all had the words "Nanzhang Dart Xing" on the hilt of their knives, and heard them say that they were looking for something.

Xu met an assassin on the way to deliver the dart, and lost the things transported, right?

"It's bad luck." Yueyi sighed and planned to return quietly. A creaking sound suddenly came from a distance, and even the slightest movement alerted her. But after listening to it for a while, there was no follow-up, Yueyi shook his head, could it be that a small animal was passing by?

Until the light of the fire in the distance became weaker and weaker, and the dart man gradually departed, the sound of squirming footsteps and muffled words ceased to sound.

"What do you think?"

"Who!" Yueyi was really scared, this person couldn't even find out when he was hiding?

The person who spoke was on the top of the branch where she was resting, and I don't know when he was hiding there, Yueyi turned his head and put Nameless in front of his abdomen, "Who is coming?" ”

"The little girl doesn't sleep at night, the wild is not a safe place, and if you are not careful, you will die." The man was dressed in black, masked and wearing a hat, and the whole person was black and tightly wrapped. It's only vaguely judged that it's a strong man, and I can't see anything else. And he spoke lightly, but the veil didn't float at all, it wouldn't be the legendary ventriloquism, right?

It's just that no matter how strict he is, Yue Yi still thought of the man who was drugged last night from the word "no life", she was not sure, "You won't be the person last night, right?" ”

"Huh?" He also looked her up and down, and recognized her, "It's really a bad fate." ”

"Hey, make that clear?"

"Forget it, I don't care about you if I'm in a good mood today, I hope I'll never see you again." After he finished speaking, he was ready to leave with a relaxed jump, and Yue Yi sent his gods away, and his heart was rarely ready to breathe a sigh of relief, this person's skills are small and she can't see through it.

It's just that the nameless in his hand suddenly emitted a silver light, illuminating the surroundings in the dark night, like a huge night pearl covering their heads.

Yueyi was puzzled, "What's wrong with you nameless?" ”

And at this moment, in the distance of Xuannian Mountain, Master Fan was sitting on the soft collapse and cultivating. He suddenly opened his eyes, pinched his fingers and said, "Yueyi, the next thing is up to you." ”

While the nameless performance surprised Yueyi, the man in black also saw the sword. Although the sword is extraordinary, it does not make him have other ideas, but the sword has his own ideas. It voluntarily broke away from Yueyi's wrist and flew straight towards the man in black. Because the sword body was not attached to the murderous aura, but there was a sense of excitement and excitement, the man in black only stepped back slightly, and tightly blocked the nameless who still wanted to move forward with one palm.

"Little girl, take care of your sword."

Yue Yi embarrassedly walked over and grabbed Nameless, "I'm sorry, I don't know why this sword is." Nameless, let's go back, okay? But no matter how good the words are, it won't help, and Yue Yi's strength to eat milk can't pull back the nameless. It broke free from Yueyi's confinement and flew straight to the arm of the man in black, and then clinged to it.

Yueyi scratched her head, "This... I didn't know it well, it wouldn't listen to me. "Thinking of Master Fan's words in my mind, it can't be that I dislike myself for not being strong enough and want to change to a new master, right?

The man in black was angry and speechless, but was amused. But suddenly, as if sensing something, he flipped his hand and took out a white bag, just as Nameless cooperated and let out a more excited tremor. The man in black found out and said with a smile, "Want this?" ”

Nameless trembled violently, as if nodding his head and saying, "Yes, yes, please."

But the man in black took it and said, "Don't give it." He also turned to Yueyi and said, "Take care of your sword, I'll scrap it next time." Then it disappeared with a "whoosh".

This person is so fierce, Yueyi is wronged. She retrieved her sword and continued to call it, "Nameless? Nameless? ”

But the sword weakened and fell asleep again, ignoring Yue Yi at all.

Yueyi, the master, should be humble enough, and the sword with aura is really temperamental. When I continued to look at it, I thought that its former owner was the famous Negative Hua Fairy, and it has been sleeping for many years, and there must be a reason for this only awakening, so... What the man in black holds in his hand is important!

Since he inherited the sword of the Negative Hua Fairy, it is reasonable to work hard for Nameless. But in the process of walking back, Salted Fish Yueyi retreated again, "But the man in black is obviously not an ordinary person, and I only have to die." Ahh ”

Shang Rui asked the frenzied Yueyi, "What happened?" ”

Yueyi was a little confused, the man in black had already made her forget about going to investigate, "Oh, the dart game seems to be •••••" while explaining and recalling, it was finally clear that they also walked into the city. As a result, as soon as they entered the city, the people in the town were also talking about Nanzhang Dart.

Although this town is small, because of its location, there are many people in the rivers and lakes. As soon as the moon saw all the capable people passing by, almost everyone carried weapons with them, and they made good use of animal skins of unknown varieties to wrap them tightly, and the whole person also looked murderous with a straight face.

The three of them walked in the streets and alleys, and they didn't dare to speak loudly, for fear that axes would fly in the sky, and they would not be able to avenge their grievances if they were stoned to death. In fact, they don't have to mind so much, because there are still many villagers selling goods in the middle of the road, even thin women and scholars, they are wandering around freely, even if they are in stark contrast to the people around them who practice martial arts, they are not surprised by this scene, and even some of the younger ones dare to mess with the muscular big brother.

One day of the bazaar is much more interesting than three years of Xuannian Mountain.

The voices were very mixed, but because they were all talking about the dart line, Yue Yi just inquired about the cause and effect. They sat on the ground, took out the fruit of the tun, and listened to it by the ladder, which was also counted as a rest for their tired feet.

The people of the town were saying, "Yes, this time it's a big problem, I heard that the things are going to be sent to the Yan Mansion." The things that Yan Lao gave his granddaughter as a dowry are all priceless treasures, but now they are lost! It is estimated that the entire dart team will have to carry their heads to make amends to Lord Yan. ”

Another person expressed his opinion, "Whoever stole will go to whom, the dart team is really wronged, and it was stolen at the city gate." If the thieves are half a day late, they will hand in the errands, and they can also get a lot of oil and water, do you say that the thief did it on purpose! And I think, Nanzhang old dart bureau should go to the temple to pray to God, worship Buddha, since last year Yanmen West lost darts, this is not easy to get back the reputation and not! ”

"If your reputation is gone, you can earn it again, I guess it's hard to save your life this time, Yan Lao is not so easy to fiddle with, and he is used to loving that Mei granddaughter, so he won't stop if he doesn't get angry, pitiful, pitiful."

••••••

Thief? It is conceivable that it is the man in black, the timing of his appearance is too coincidental, and he is strong in martial arts, and he is a gangster, and he is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, but it is difficult for the government to arrest him, and it is difficult for him to win by himself.

After that, the three of them briefly replenished some food and equipment at the market, and prepared to find a place to rest for the night. Because he was short of money, he did not dare to enjoy it, so he stayed only one night, and then rode to Jesh in an ox cart the next day.

"Little two, two rooms." The three of them walked into an ordinary post station, and in order to save money, Yue Yi and Shang Rui lived in the same room.

"Holo, two rooms, a tael of silver."

Yueyi exclaimed, "It's so expensive, robbed!" ”

The three of them went down the mountain, they really didn't understand the outside price, and they only had a total of three taels of silver on their bodies, one or two a night, how many could they have a night?

Yicheng said embarrassedly: "If we don't live in a room, I'll sleep on the ground." ”

Shang Rui also continued, "Anyway, Yicheng is still a child, and it's okay for us to live together." "I am a person who practices martial arts, and women don't care whether men and women give or receive kisses.

Yueyi was helpless, "Okay, just come to a room, please give us some hot meals and bath water." ”

Xiao Er looked at the three small people, and did not dislike them for searching, and said enthusiastically: "Okay, a few guest officers will go upstairs with me." ”

The inn room is not big, but it is a paradise on earth for them. Shang Rui ran directly to the bed, took off his shoes, jumped up, and covered the quilt, and it only took a second for a set of smooth movements. Yueyi smiled at her, "Don't eat it?" ”

Shang Rui got out of the quilt with his hand and said, "Yes, you feed me." ”

"Good! Let me serve Miss Shang. ”

Then the two looked at each other and smiled, Shang Rui was a young lady on the surface, but she loved to hold it in front of outsiders, and her essential innocence was only partially revealed.

The simple meal was swept away, and the three of them took a comfortable nap afterwards. Yicheng has been very sleepy recently, and he was still sleeping until the afternoon, when Shang Rui and Yueyi whispered and exited the room.

Yue Yi asked a question that he was very entangled with, "You say, do we want to dress up as a man, so that it is more convenient to walk the rivers and lakes?" ”

Shang Rui refused, "Don't, I don't like it." Women are women, so what, who can kidnap me in broad daylight? She is frank and straightforward, and she also has her own capital, but Yue Yi hesitated, afraid that her identity would hinder her.

The purpose of going out alone was that they wanted to find an oxcart master who would go to Yesh the next day, and they looked at the edge of their eyes at the speed of light on the moon, and chose a kind old man, and directly hammered the word.

When the first day of the month gave the money, Shang Rui pulled her sleeve and whispered: "Uncle is so old, will he..."

Yueyi hurriedly stopped it, but the uncle on the side still heard it, and he joked: "That's not it, uncle, I've been driving the ox cart for so many years, but nothing has ever happened, and my life is hard!" ”

Shang Rui stuck out his tongue, and Yueyi and Uncle both laughed. I don't accept the old, and I am not afraid of the old, the uncle has a good mentality. But the perennial uncle suddenly became alert, he looked at the sky and said, "Today is not a foggy day, what's going on?" ”

On the first day of the month, they were playing with the calves in the cowshed at the moment, and they heard that they came out to see the sky. Shang Rui even sniffed the air directly, and said: "It's not fog, it's smoke, be careful of poison, cover your nose!" ”

There are people in the town who are emitting poisonous smoke, is there something big happening?
