Chapter 142: Yan Hua Chapter ~ Book
By the time I had filled my stomach, it was already dark.
It is true that there are many fewer people on the streets than during the day, but at night the lanterns are hung and the colorful streamers merge into the streets of this town.
The shouting and shouting on the side of the street were constant, and it was very noisy, and the atmosphere was no worse than during the day, and the shouting from which corner the crowd gathered again.
The four of them couldn't help but sigh, this Huibao Town is really unusually lively.
"I heard that Huibao Town will open a night market three days a month, and today we have encountered it." Ling Xiao looked around, there were many stalls with black roofs on both sides of the street, and he didn't know what they were selling.
Xian Kongqing was curious: "Night market? Isn't that very common? β
Yan Hua smiled, the eyes that were like the moon were still charming: "The night market in Huibao Town is not common, perhaps, it sells some treasures that I have never seen." β
As soon as they heard that it was a baby, Luo Jia and Xian Kongqing were interested, and the two immediately rushed out one after the other.
Yan Hua and Ling Xiao behind him glanced at each other, and could only smile helplessly.
"Huh? This ......" Luo Jia paused in front of a stall, squatted down, and picked up a piece of jade pendant, "How much is this piece of jade?" β
ββ¦β¦β
Sitting in front of the stall was an old man, with gray hair and a mottled white stubble on his face, who at first did not speak when he saw Luo Jia, but looked at his gray hair for a moment.
When Luo Jia asked again, the old man spoke: "Little brother can really know the goods, this jade can be polished and carved by a famous craftsman, authentic blue amber, under different lights, it can also show different colors, come on, I will show you." β
As he spoke, the old man was about to pick up the jade pendant made of blue amber to demonstrate, Luo Jia was stunned, and was looking forward to seeing what was magical, but was snatched away by Yan Hua.
"It's all a deception, if it's really that expensive, he'll sell it to you?" Yan Hua looked Luo Jia up and down, "How much money can a little hairy child carry?" β
Luo Jia was very unhappy when he heard this, and was about to reply to his mouth, but was covered by the other party.
I only heard Yan Hua whisper in his ear: "Your white hair is too eye-catching, hurry up and go to a place where no one is there and turn back into a snake to hide from me." β
"I don't!" This Raja screamed loudly.
Yan Hua's brows furrowed, and his tone was threatening: "You really don't want to?" β
This time, Luo Jia's confidence has weakened a lot, to be honest, although he has been with Yan Hua for a while, he is also a little dependent on each other, but Yan Hua's temperament sometimes really makes him feel a little scared.
Pouting his mouth, Luo Jia had all kinds of reluctance in his heart, so he had to agree.
After a while, the original team of four people now became three people, Luo Jiama, naturally hidden in Yan Hua's body.
Wandering around a few times at will, antiques, jade, porcelain, jewelry, everything, but the things that make Yan Hua's eyes appear have never appeared, it seems that this Huibao Town is really not as realistic as the rumors, they are all bluffing.
"What a night market! It's nothing special, it's quite lively. β
Xian Kongqing complained on the side, but it was not a coincidence, as soon as he finished speaking, he was bumped into by an oncoming man.
Stumbled a few steps backwards, and when he stood firm, Xian Kongqing raised his hand and was about to curse, but Ling Xiao immediately stopped him, and then looked up, only to find that the man who bumped into him in front of him was the middle-aged man he had met in the inn before.
The man was dressed in black, his expression was heroic, his sword eyebrows were as hard as a peak, and his two pairs of bright eyes were dark and deep, but he always had a cold temperament, and he felt cold at just a glance.
He had a cold look on his face, and his body exuded an aura that was not easy for people to approach, staring straight at Xian Kongqing in front of him, who was a head shorter than himself.
Xian Kongqing looked up at him, just because of his stature, he was a lot shorter than the other party, and his momentum was instantly compared to a lot.
"If you hit someone and don't apologize, why do you look at me like this?" Xian Kongqing was angry, and took a few steps back before barely making eye level with him.
The man didn't speak at first, his eyes shifted slightly, and his gaze fell on Yan Hua and Ling Xiao, who were closer, before finally moving his gaze back to Xian Kongqing.
Then, his vicissitudes of life but cold to the same as his face sounded: "It's you who didn't see the road." β
After waiting for a long time, in exchange for such a sentence, Xian Kongqing suddenly came up.
"Who the hell didn't look at the road?! You say it again, try it! β
Ling Xiao was about to quarrel when he saw the two, and hurriedly grabbed him, an ignorant little junior brother, and smiled kindly: "This eldest brother, I'm really sorry, my junior brother has just arrived, please forgive me if there is any offense." β
I only heard the other party snort coldly, and threw a disdainful look: "Then look at him well, and by the way, educate you how to talk to the elders." β
With that, the middle-aged man shook his hand and walked away.
"What kind of person, is it so hard to apologize?" Xian Kong's green spirit has not disappeared, and he was pulled by his senior brother, so he was even more angry.
Ling Xiao patted him on the head: "It's time for your temper to change, come out and be kinder, what if you have a grudge with someone?" β
"Then knot, I'm still afraid of that kind of person?" Xian Kongqing rolled his eyes to show disdain.
On the side, Yan Hua never spoke.
I hadn't seen the man's face clearly when I met him at the inn before, but now that I saw it, I felt a little familiar.
But where it is familiar, he can't say.
"Brother Yan Hua, what do you see?" Ling Xiao saw that his expression was wrong, and asked softly.
Yan Hua was still searching for the man's appearance in his memory, but he still found nothing, so he had to shake his head: "It's okay, I read it wrong." β
"Give it back! What are you doing with my stuff! Give it back to me! Whining...... I'm going back and tell my parents. β
Not far away, the voice of a boy crying was heard, as if someone had robbed him.
In an instant, the attention of the entire street was drawn to the past.
Yan Hua and Ling Xiao's expressions froze, and their eyes suddenly condensed towards the source of the sound.
This was nothing, but the two of them felt a burst of demonic aura rushing to the sky at the same time, but for a moment, the demonic aura suddenly dissipated like mist.
And the position that exuded demonic aura was from the direction of the boy, and it was also the direction in which the middle-aged man left.
How so? Is it a coincidence?
When the two of them squeezed through the crowd and came to the boyβ
Sure enough, the person standing opposite the boy was the man who bumped into Xian Kongqing.
Subsequently, Xian Kongqing followed him with a run, and found that after this scene, his heart was full of disdain for the middle-aged man, believing that he had robbed the child's things.
Not to mention him, the crowd of onlookers around him also thought so.
For at this moment, the man was holding a book he had snatched from the boy.
The book looked very strange, different from the ordinary cover, it was actually flashing with a dazzling white light, Yan Hua tilted his head slightly, and found that the glowing cover also changed several different colors, just like ...... It's like the starlight on the Yao Pond in Kunlun Mountain, and the beauty is so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off it.
Even, a powerful attraction pulled Yan Hua to get closer, and for a moment, Yan Hua's brain was blank, and he seemed to be bewitched by something.
Shaking his head and returning to reality, Yan Hua realized that it was by no means an ordinary book.
The middle-aged man must have noticed this and snatched the book in public, perhaps, he was also tricked into doing such a thoughtless thing.
"What are you doing as an adult snatching things from children?! Give it back to him! β
"Bully kids! What a shame! β
"That's right! He's still a kid, how can he rob him of things? Give it back to him." β
"It's just a book, as far as it's concerned?"
Around, discussions, persuasions, and abuses pushed the liveliness of the entire night market to a higher level, and Yan Hua felt that his ears were about to be worn out.
The child who was taken away from the book was still crying, and the middle-aged man saw that the situation was not right, and did not say a word, but wanted to leave with the book, but unexpectedly he was clasped by a strong palm on his shoulder.
"This big brother, isn't it okay to take other people's things? What's more, the other party is still a child. β
Ling Xiao?! When did he pass?
Yan Hua turned his head, and there was really no figure of him around him, so Ling Xiao wanted to do justice as an immortal cultivator?
On the other side, the middle-aged man's expression was obviously a lot more ugly, his face was calm, he impatiently glanced at the crowd around him, and finally fixed his gaze on Ling Xiao, who was grabbing him.
I only heard him say two words indifferently: "Let go." β
Ling Xiao naturally didn't listen, and said seriously: "If you don't return the book to this kid today, I will never let you go." β
"Nosy, a book, I just bought it?" The man's gaze swept and landed on the child who was still crying.
The child was only about ten years old, and he was staring at him so much that he cried even harder.
The man frowned and clenched his fists: "Don't cry, how much money you say, I'll buy it." β
"I don't sell, I don't sell! This book is mine! I don't want to sell! Give it back to me! Woooooo Father! Mother! Come on! I was bullied by this uncle! β
The boy's voice was particularly loud, and the middle-aged man's face became even more ugly when he heard it.
Ling Xiao grabbed his shoulder and didn't let go for a moment: "It's just a book, just give it back to him, is it difficult, what kind of treasure is this book?" β
Hearing the word "baby", the middle-aged man's expression changed slightly, and he was completely looked at by Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao quickly swept his gaze, and it only took a moment to observe the book and confirm that it was not an ordinary item, and just by looking at the cover, he knew that it must be expensive.
Why did he want this book? For collections?
Ling Xiao felt that it would never be that simple.
"Hehe......" A chuckle came, and the man actually laughed.
Ling Xiao raised his gaze to the strange man in front of him.
"What are you laughing at?"
"Laugh at your ignorance." The man smiled, but his eyes were still as cold as frost, and there was no smile in the slightest.
"Then tell me, what kind of ignorance law?" Ling Xiao let it go and said with his hands on his chest.
"I lost this book, and it was picked up by this kid and kept it for me, and it wasn't his thing, so why should I return it? The people in Huibao Town turned out to be so unreasonable. The man stared at Ling Xiao, and from his eyes, Ling Xiao couldn't see any emotion, and he couldn't confirm whether what he said was true or false.
But as soon as these words came out, the surrounding crowd was in an uproar again.
The boy's crying continued, but stopped when he heard that he had picked up the book.
Without the momentum of Fang Cai, he sniffed and said, "Mine, the book is mine, not yours!" β
The boy's reaction said it all, he was obviously weak-hearted, it seemed that the middle-aged man was right, the book was indeed picked up by the child.
After joining in the excitement, the crowd gradually dispersed.
It's justβ
The book was indeed picked up by the boy, but it is impossible to say whether the owner of the book is the middle-aged man.
"You're not leaving?" The man frowned and looked at Ling Xiao, his vicissitudes of tone wrapped in a layer of anger.
"Is this book really yours?" Ling Xiao asked.
"Isn't it important to me?" The man asked rhetorically, then turned his back and dropped a sentence, "Ask for more blessings for yourself." β
Say goodbye and leave.
Asking for more blessings?
What did he mean by that?
