"Come on, come on, eat while it's hot!"

Three bowls of steaming wontons were put on the table, and six baked cakes were brought, Shang Xia greeted the mother and son, and ate them first.

Eating the spicy soup and the meaty wontons in his mouth, under the cover of the steaming heat, Shang Xia, who was squinting, began to recall the experience after entering the city.

When he was at the gate of the city, the aura of that strange martial arts will, Shang Xia was almost certainly derived from Cangling Martial Cultivation.

In other words, among the four young martial artists from Jizhou who have a great background, at least one of them is a Cangling martial arts cultivator!

If it weren't for Shang Xia's own martial arts will, which could be integrated with the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and even be able to avoid the detection of fourth-order martial artists, I am afraid that Shang Xia's identity as a disguised hunter would have been detected at that time.

Of course, the identity of Shang Xia's warrior was not discovered by the little woman holding the child next to her.

But even so, at that time, Shang Xia, who was at the gate of the city, almost made a direct attack and killed the Cangling Martial Cultivator who appeared.

If it was in Tongyou City, Shang Xia would probably make a move without hesitation.

However, this is not Tongyou City after all, and after Kou Chongxue was attacked and he was almost captured, Shang Xia currently knows nothing about Tongyou City and even the situation in Youzhou.

Moreover, what Shang Xia discovered was only one Cangling martial cultivator, you must know that there were three Cangling martial artists who ambushed him at the beginning.

Shang Xia didn't choose to act rashly in the end, and even he didn't dare to reveal his identity casually.

And this caution soon revealed his correctness to Shang Xia.

As an important gateway from Youzhou to Jizhou, and one of the only two cities in Youzhou at present, although Changfeng City is controlled by the city lord Yang Hu, how can Tongyou Academy and the four major families of Tongyou City not be arranged in Changfeng City?

However, Shang Xia walked along the way, and along the way, he saw at least two inns, one store, and three shops belonging to Tongyou City on the surface, but around these six shops, they were all being stared at.

Shang Xia didn't know who was spying on him, and he didn't know if the surveillance was aimed at him, but he knew that at this time, it was best for him not to show his face.

Fortunately, Shang Xia had stayed in the wild mountains and forests for a long enough time, and his appearance and image had already changed greatly at this time, and no one would have thought that the young master of Yushu, a merchant in Tongyou City, would be the young hunter who was wearing coarse cloth clothes and eating wontons at a roadside stall.

It seems that he is going to be incognito in Changfeng City for a while, and at least he has to figure out what the current situation in Tongyou City is.

A bowl of wontons and two baked cakes only took a moment to enter the stomach.

Unexpectedly, the two girls around them were not satisfied with the food, Shang Xia had just put down the chopsticks, the little woman had also drunk the soup at the bottom of the bowl, and even the three-year-old girl had taken off half a bowl of wontons and half a baked cake by herself.

"Boss, how much?"

Shang Xia wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and as soon as he reached out, he had already taken out a silver dollar from his cuff.

"Twelve coppers!"

The boss smiled and put a rag on his arm, walked to Shang Xia's side and said.

"How much?"

Shang Xia looked at the wonton stall owner in amazement.

The boss glanced at Shang Xia with some suspicion, then looked at the things on the table, and said, "A bowl of wontons has two coppers, three bowls are six, and one copper plate for baked cakes, you want a total of six." That's right, it's twelve coppers, you see ......."

Seeing that the little woman and the little girl were looking at him, Shang Xia was a little surprised and said, "So cheap?"

The boss was stunned at first, and then said with a smile: "The honorable guest said that he was laughing, and he didn't dare to ask for more money." ”

Shang Xia threw a silver dollar into the boss's hand and said, "Okay, wrap eight more baked cakes and take them away, and make it up by the way." ”

"Okay!"

The boss blew the silver dollar in his ear, and immediately looked happy, and hurriedly started to wrap the eight baked cakes, together with the leftover baked cakes, and then returned the four copper plates to Shang Xia.

Copper is often called a small copper plate, and a silver dollar is a hundred small copper plates.

On top of the small copper plate, there is also a large copper plate, which is what ordinary people call a copper plate, usually twenty small copper plates are equivalent to a large copper plate.

Shang Xia checked the four large copper plates in his hand in the palm of his hand, although it was not the first time he had seen copper plates and copper, but it might be the first time he really used them.

As the merchant's in-law, Young Master Sun, Shang Xia only used silver dollars and gold coins on weekdays.

In fact, at this time, in the Jinyun box in his sleeve, there was a large bag of three hundred silver dollars, which was the price that Shang Xia offered him when Yu Chengjin, the negative sword elder of the Sword Gate Academy, personally came to the door to ask Shang Xia for a sword talisman.

However, the use of copper plates and copper this time has a special taste for him.

Shang Xia got up from the wonton stall and left, and the little woman hurriedly picked up the little girl and followed.

After eating a steaming bowl of wontons, the two of them seemed to be in a much better spirit.

Shang Xia walked in front, and the little girl's milky voice sounded from behind him: "Uncle, where are you going?"

Shang Xiatou didn't reply: "Youzhou is bitterly cold, you two are thinly dressed, I will take you to buy two sets of cotton clothes." ”

"Thank you, just buy one for Yuanyuan, I don't need it. ”

Without the danger of being at the gates, the little woman no longer suppressed her beautiful voice.

Shang Xia turned his head to look, his eyes fell on the little girl who was held in his arms, and said with a smile: "Your name is Yuanyuan, a good name!"

The little girl's big black eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile, and she said in a milky voice: "Thank you, uncle." ”

Shang Xia turned his head and happened to come to a ready-to-wear shop, so he smiled and said, "It's here! Let's go, go in and have a look!"

When she came out again, the little girl already had a little red jacket on her round body, and the whole person was more round and cute.

The little woman also added a turquoise winter jacket to her body, although it made the whole person thicker, but it did not affect her figure much.

Shang Xia had actually seen that the mother and daughter were thinly dressed, and the reason why they had been holding their daughter in their arms before was because the little woman had been putting her vitality into her daughter's body to keep warm.

Xiao Yuanyuan, who was well fed and warmly dressed, no longer felt cold, so he naturally no longer wanted his mother to hold him, and preferred to walk and play on the ground by himself, constantly circling Shang Xia and the little woman, and after a while, the two of them were surrounded by the laughter of children.

Walking down half the street, Xiao Yuanyuan's mouth has already tasted osmanthus cake, marshmallow, and small twist flower...... , with a smiling face man and a sugar gourd in his mouth......

Shang Xia glanced back at the young woman who was following him in the form of a little woman, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuanyuan seems to have never seen these things. ”

The young woman let out a low "um" with a hint of guilt in her voice.

"Looks like you're going to stay in Changfeng City for a while?" Shang Xia asked without looking back.

The young woman glanced up at Shang Xia, then lowered her gaze again, and said, "Yes!"

"You're penniless now, but what craft do you have to make a living?"

The young woman was silent for a moment, and then she whispered, "No!"

Shang Xia nodded and said no more, and when he came to the end of the street and came to a tooth shop, he asked to find a separate courtyard to rent.

The tooth man of the tooth shop was also very fast, and soon found a small courtyard in the city that met the requirements according to Shang Xia's requirements, and took the three of them to check it.

This small courtyard is a small family at a glance, sitting in the north and facing south, one upper room, two side rooms, two fruit trees in the small courtyard, and a well covered with bluestone slabs.

The three of them took a general look, and Shang Xia felt that the small courtyard was quite quiet, so he wanted to rent it, so he asked about the rent.

"Three silver dollars a month!"

After a little discussion with the landlord, the person in the tooth shop quoted a price that Shang Xia did not know how expensive or cheap.

Touching the four silver dollars on his cuffs, Shang Xia didn't know for a while whether he should take out a few silver dollars from the Jinyun box and rent them for a few more months.

Unexpectedly, the landlord saw Shang Xia's hesitation, so he said: "It's a little expensive, but it's no wonder that we have to, in the past two months, there have been many outsiders in the city, and everyone's rent is rising." If the little brother's family thinks it is not suitable, they can go elsewhere to investigate, but our small courtyard is not worried about rent. ”

Shang Xia laughed when he heard this: "I didn't say I wouldn't rent!"

As he spoke, he took out three silver dollars from his cuffs, and while handing them to the landlord, he asked casually: "I said that I won't come for a while, but there is a lot of excitement in this city, it turns out that there are many people who have settled in the city, but I don't know where these people come from?

The people in the tooth line shook their heads and sighed: "Earlier, there were many old people in Youzhou, but recently, there are many martial artists with Jizhou accents, although these people are not arrogant in the city, but they are also arrogant, and they look down on our people in Youzhou." ”

agreed that the rent would be settled in January, and Shang Xia sent the two away.

Then leaving the mother and daughter to clean up the courtyard, Shang Xia went out to buy, until every copper plate on his body was spent, and then returned to the small courtyard with a large bag.

The fire was raised, and the house gradually became warm, and Xiao Yuanyuan was playing with a few sweet potatoes that had just emitted their fragrance by the fire, and there was already a shiny saliva about to fall from his mouth.

Shang Xia leaned against the door of the upper room and smiled at the little girl's actions, and suddenly felt something, and glanced back, just as he saw that the young woman had come behind him.

"Why don't you ask us about who we are?"

It was the first time since the gates that the little woman had spoken up.

Shang Xia's gaze did not leave Xiao Yuanyuan by the fire, and he did not look back: "I want to ask, will you say?"

The little woman was silent for a moment, then said, "No!"

Shang Xia smiled and said, "I just like Xiao Yuanyuan. ”

The little woman walked to Shang Xia's side, looked at her daughter who was sitting by the fire waiting for the sweet potatoes to be baked, infinite tenderness appeared on her face, and she said in a low voice: "Yuanyuan has never been so happy as today, and she has never had such a peaceful life, thank you!"

Shang Xia glanced at him and said, "You can choose for her." ”

The little woman shook her head and turned to walk out of the house.

When she reached the door, the little woman suddenly turned around and said, "My name is Haimin, don't forget when the neighbor asks, and what is your name?"

Shang Xia didn't look back and said, "You can call me Xia Shang, just an ordinary hunter." ”

"That Yuanyuan will be called Xia Yuanyuan from now on, a daughter of Orion. ”

The little woman, Hamin, walked out and said, "I'm going to prepare dinner!"

Perhaps because of the fatigue of the journey, after dinner, Haimin's mother and daughter had rested very early.

Shang Xia rested in the side room, sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed to carry the true qi in his body.

About the time passed, in Shang Xia's perception, Haimin, who was sleeping in the upper room, had quietly left the room.
