In late June, the weather gradually enters the hottest time of the year, and the scorching heat of the sun at noon makes pedestrians on the long street of Yushui City extremely scarce. Only some cultivators who have cultivated hard will not care about this scorching sun.

A middle-aged cultivator with dark skin and an iron sword on his back was hurrying to a well to prepare for drinking water. This man's steps are steady and vigorous, and although the weather is very hot, there is not even a drop of sweat on his face. His cheeks were slightly red, and he could tell that he was on a long run.

Just as he was about to draw water from the well, a man suddenly jumped out of the side.

This person is dressed in a green coat and a small hat, with a thin body, dry skin, an outward-turned mouth, and slanted eyes. He stretched out his hand and slammed it to stop the cultivator's action of drawing water.

"This well was dug by my brother, and the water in the well is also owned by my brother. If you want to drink water, you have to pay for it. The man smiled and rolled his eyelids to look like a scoundrel.

"Isn't that the same as the tea shop on the street?" The middle-aged cultivator was stunned, he didn't expect that the well on the street would also cost money to get water.

He rushed all the way from the distant Purple Leaf City to Yushui City, and when he arrived in Yushui City, he found that the money bag on his body was lost at some point. He didn't pay much attention to money, and he didn't care much about it at the time, but when the noon sun gradually evaporated the water in his body, he wanted to go to the tea shop to drink a bowl of tea, but he couldn't do anything but look for water on the street.

I finally saw a well, and I even needed money to drink water.

The middle-aged cultivator licked his lips and became a little embarrassed.

"Hehe, the reason why my brother dug this well is to make some hardship money while being convenient for people. If everyone uses water in vain, then didn't my brother dig a well in vain? If you want to drink water, you have to give money, and if you don't drink it, I won't force you to drink it. The sharp-mouthed man in Tsing Yi shook his head, if he didn't give money, he couldn't drink water.

The middle-aged cultivator sighed and touched his waist, all his coins were in that money bag, and he accidentally lost them. Now I am facing such a dilemma. It is reasonable for people to dig wells and collect money to sell water.

However, now he really can't find even a single copper coin on him.

"How do you sell this water?"

Just when the middle-aged cultivator was helplessly about to leave and go to find other water sources, a voice came. Listening to the voice, it seems to be a young man.

The middle-aged cultivator turned around and looked, sure enough, it was a young man standing not far behind him, wearing an ordinary costume, his eyes flashed with light, and he looked like he was also a cultivator. It's just that his body is a little thin, his fingers are fair, and he doesn't seem to have suffered a lot, so it's difficult to have great achievements. With just one glance, the middle-aged cultivator looked at the young man's whole body.

This young man who asked about the price of water was Xia Yan who had just walked here from the Xia family's house.

"I drink this water alone, ten copper coins at a time, which is much cheaper than the tea in those tea shops. My water is just right for drinking in such a hot day, cooling and relieving the heat, sweet and moisturizing the throat. The sharp-mouthed man in Tsing Yi said haha.

"Hehe, okay, ten copper coins is ten copper coins. Xia Yan took out a handful of copper coins from a small money bag, a few days ago, Xia Yan deliberately changed some fragmentary copper coins and silver coins on his body, and casually glanced at the man in Tsing Yi, "You help me draw the water first." ”

When the man in Tsing Yi saw Xia Yan taking out the money, his eyes flashed, and he answered, and then picked up a bucket next to him.

The middle-aged cultivator licked his lips again, and at this time, his throat seemed to be smoking, dry and painful.

"This big brother, it seems that he has traveled a lot, why don't we drink water together?" Xia Yan turned around and faced the middle-aged cultivator, and said in a deliberate tone of solicitation.

He was walking down the street just now, and when he saw that this cultivator was extraordinary, and he was secretly thinking in his heart that he might be a master, he didn't want this Gao Shui to be stumped by a bowl of water. Therefore, Xia Yan came over and helped him solve this little favor by the way, which was just a gesture.

"You two, that's twenty copper coins!" the man in Tsing Yi hurriedly shouted when he heard this.

Xia Yan smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't miss your copper coins." ”

Hearing Xia Yan's words, Tsing Yi began to lift water again.

The middle-aged cultivator opened his mouth, and the expression on his dark face was a little strange.

"This big brother, you don't seem to be from Yushui City, right?" Xia Yan bypassed the question of drinking water.

The middle-aged cultivator nodded and said, "I was originally in Purple Leaf City, and I rushed to Yushui City because I was dealing with an urgent matter, but I didn't want to lose my money bag halfway, so I ......."

The middle-aged cultivator was also a hearty surname, and seeing that Xia Yan was so polite, he directly said that he was embarrassed.

Xia Yan was overjoyed in his heart, and said in his heart, this person is really not a scheming and cunning person.

"So that's the case, seeing that the eldest brother is also a person who is enthusiastic about cultivation, I'm afraid he usually doesn't care much about money, so he lost his money bag. Xia Yan said.

The middle-aged cultivator's face was slightly embarrassed, and then he said: "You are right, when I was in Purple Leaf City, I rarely used money, but this time I went far away, and I didn't care too much about money, I don't want to think that if there is no money outside, it will be really difficult! A bowl of water will make me spend my mind, haha......"

After speaking, the middle-aged cultivator touched his head and laughed heartily.

"Well, my name is Li Yuanchun, I don't know what to call my brother?" Li Yuanchun asked as he looked at Xia Yan with his fists clenched.

Xia Yan hurriedly clenched his fists and said in return, "My name is Xia Yan." ”

At this time, the sharp-mouthed man in Tsing Yi had already beaten the water, handed Xia Yan a scoop, and then took the copper coin, ran to the side and counted it excitedly. When he saw the money bag swelling around Xia Yan's waist, his eyes changed slightly.

After the two drank water, Xia Yan said again: "I want to come to my brother and haven't eaten yet, why don't you go to eat together?" It just so happens that a friend asked me to eat together in a nearby restaurant, which is not far from here, and it won't affect my brother's itinerary if I want to come. ”

When Li Yuanchun heard this, he naturally touched his belly and looked at Xia Yan with some embarrassment. He really needs to eat, but it was the first time he and Xia Yan met, and if he agreed, I don't know if they were polite.

Xia Yan saw Li Yuanchun hesitating and understood what he was thinking, so he laughed and said, "I'll make the decision for my brother, go, Jufu Building is in front." ”

was pulled by Xia Yan's hand, and Li Yuanchun naturally raised his heel and left.

The man in Tsing Yi not far away heard the words Jufulou, but his eyes lit up, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's a fat sheep!" The man in Tsing Yi spat out a mouthful of saliva and said in a low voice, looking at the backs of Xia Yan and Li Yuanchun.

Jufu Building, the most restaurant in Yushui City, ordinary people dare not come in. For a casual meal in Jufu Building, the cost is at least calculated in gold coins.

Jufu Building, is a place for businessmen and wealthy people to dine, when ordinary people pass by here, at most look inside twice, and by the way, take two sips of the wine and coriander fragrance emanating from it.

This Jufu Building, is the property of the Wang family among the three major families of Yushui City, in the central location of Yushui City, the merchants and celebrities of Yushui City in Pingyu City, like to feast guests here.
