Chapter 0009 - Discussing the Joining Forces (Fifth Update)
"Sister!" Xia Ni tugged on Xia Wei's skirt, stood on tiptoe and whispered in her ear: "There are only two girls in the house, and letting a single man live in will it be a wolf to enter the house!" ”
"Shhhh Don't talk too much, you naughty girl! Xia Wei glared at her sister, then pulled her aside and whispered: "Our tenant has been out of rent for a long time, and there are no new tenants, don't say that you have no money to buy your favorite chestnut cake every day, but you can't supply three meals a day!" ”
"Cake ......" Xia Ni's little head, all kinds of delicious sweets suddenly appeared, swallowing saliva, she flattened her mouth, and finally the temptation of food prevailed, she quickly said to her sister: "Then let's leave this fat sheep behind, don't let him rent someone else's house!" ”
The two sisters didn't talk loudly, but Guan Heng's ear power was surprisingly good, and he had already heard it clearly.
"Alas, it turns out that not all the rich households in the fragrant town are rich, but there are also poor and poor households!" So Guan Heng first sighed, and then said loudly: "That...... If you can rent a room that can be remote and quiet, then I will rent it! ”
In this way, Guan Heng became a temporary tenant in the family of Xia Wei and Xia Ni.
Walking on the road, everyone talked to each other and learned that Xia Wei's two sisters' parents died two years ago, and they relied on renting out rooms in the old mansion to earn some meager living expenses.
After inquiring about Xia Wei's residence, Guan Heng temporarily broke up with the two sisters, and he wanted to exchange some of the prey and medical plants he had collected in the dense forest for money, so that he could hand over the rent to Xia Wei.
In addition, Guan Heng also planned to go to a place, that is, the largest mansion in the fragrant town, the home of the incense powder merchant Xincha, to reconnoitre.
"Sincha, a gimmy and immoral jackal, has persecuted those half-elves for many years, and is a complete scum!" Guan Heng secretly thought in his heart: "If there is a chance to kill him, I will never be soft!" ”
"And his library, I have to go around and try to gather as much knowledge as I need to know!" With such a plan in mind, Guan Heng first ran to several grocery stores in the town, sold all the prey he carried, and exchanged it for dozens of copper coins!
"Whoa, whoa!" Guan Heng tossed the leather bag containing the money in his hand a few times: "Well, these are enough to pay rent for Sister Xia Wei, anyway, I only plan to live for a few days, and when the matter of Xin Cha's family is resolved, I will hurry up on the road to find the traces of Qinghuang's remnant soul!" ”
Turning left and right, Guan Heng found the luxurious mansion of the incense powder merchant Xin Cha's family. It's a palatial place, and the area alone already takes up half of the land of the aromatic town. Viewed from the outer wall, you will have an unobstructed view of the mansion's luxury and grandeur!
"A small incense merchant actually built his residence like a palace!" Guan Heng stood outside the wall of Xincha's house, and said to himself with an expressionless face: "Who would have thought that the accumulation of wealth in Xincha's rich country and this mansion that rises from the ground are all piled up on the remains of countless half-elves!" ”
"Huh? Who's that one in front? Guan Heng's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly found a slender figure in a cloak one hundred and ten meters away, it seemed to be a woman, Guan Heng only felt that the back was a little familiar, but Guan Heng had just come to this continent, and there were very few people who had spoken to him, so how could there be someone he knew?
"Well, go along and see who she is!" In order to confirm the identity of the other party, Guan Heng took a few steps forward, and then stared at the woman in front of him wearing a cloak and a hood!
This mysterious woman in cloak seemed to be extremely interested in the mansion of the Sincha family, and she circled around the mansion three times, and then she bowed her head slightly, as if she had determined something important!
A strange light flashed in Guan Heng's eyes, and he rushed forward with a quick pace, reaching out and patting the other party's shoulder!
"You! Don't make a noise just yet, follow me into the alley behind! Guan Heng beckoned to the other party and pointed to the alley behind him.
The woman wearing the hooded cloak was patted on the shoulder, first taken aback, and then heard Guan Heng's voice, so she nodded, and followed Guan Heng into the alley next to her!
"I didn't expect to meet you here!" Guan Heng hugged his shoulders and laughed softly: "Have you found any trace of your brother?" ”
It turned out that the person wearing the hooded cloak was the half-elf girl who parted ways with Guan Heng before and went downstream of the water source in the jungle to find her younger brother - Melti!
"Alas, I've searched all the water sources near the cliffs, both upstream and down!" With a little disappointment on her face, Melti shook her head slightly: "But there is still no trace of my brother, he is now unknown whether he is alive or dead!" ”
"Don't be too sad, as long as you don't know if he's gone, you should try to find him!" Guan Heng said to her: "Any hope cannot be annihilated, because this is the driving force to move forward!" ”
"Well, you're right, I'm not going to give up on finding Werther's whereabouts!"
"However, when I think of the persecution of my own people, I can't suppress my anger!" Clenching her fists, Melti gritted her teeth and said with resentment: "So I decided to come to the town, looking for an opportunity to kill Sincha to take revenge!" ”
"You're going to find the bad luck of the incense merchant too? Looks like we're both aiming for the same thing! ”
Guan Heng leaned against the mouth of the alley, glanced at the gate of the Sincha Mansion opposite, and then said to Melti: "I have told you before, this unscrupulous businessman has many bodyguards in his family, if you go to take revenge alone, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, it is better for us to cooperate and clean him up!" ”
"Good! Then let's cooperate! I'm relieved about your skills! "Melty has been rescued by Guan Heng before, so he naturally has a certain degree of trust, and having a helper on his side does add a lot of convenience!
"First of all, we have to plan carefully before we can sneak into the mansion of the Xincha family, you must know that the house of this local tyrant who killed a thousand knives is likely to be in danger!"
At this time, Guan Heng suddenly noticed that Melti was frowning slightly, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?" ”
"Uh, it's nothing, I ......," Melty said, but suddenly the soles of her feet shook, and she was about to fall when she stook!
"Smack!" Guan Heng stretched out his hand to hold Melti's shoulder: Hey, don't scare me, don't you have a hidden illness? ”
After a slight hesitation for two seconds, Merti suddenly blushed and asked, "Guan Heng, do you have anything to eat?" ”
