Chapter 274: Choosing to Yield
The furnishings of the wing rooms are a bit old, and the beds are clay kang similar to the Chase bunk, and the bedding is messily placed on it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
There were two people in front of the shop, fighting, to be precise, they should be beating.
The boy curled up on the ground, his hands not holding his head as ordinary people instinctively, but still clenched into fists, nestled tightly in his arms, his clothes were covered with dust, there were a few dark bruises on his body, and there were a few bruises on his face.
The person who was beaten was the young man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks he had seen before, his thin body was gasping slightly, with a hint of fierceness on his face, and he was glaring at the young man on the ground viciously.
Boom!
The door opened, and both of them inside were a little panicked and turned their heads to look at the door.
A figure came into view, and the two of them were stunned.
When the young man saw Xu Meng, he hurriedly covered his face with his hands, as if he didn't want Xu Meng to see it.
The young man with the sharp-beaked monkey cheeks was also a little panicked at this time, he was all bragging just now, although his uncle was the shopkeeper, but he never looked down on him, just because he was idle since he was a child and didn't do business.
It's just that he can't survive anymore, so I pull him and let him be a buddy in the store.
He didn't do anything when he entered the store, and threatened the new guy to give him the tip, and the people in the store only knew that he was the nephew of the shopkeeper, but the relatives and distant relatives did not.
Worried about the other party's uncle, he gave him all the reward money, but this time he hit a nail.
What's even more unfortunate is that he was even seen, and if it is spread that he coerced his buddy, I am afraid that his uncle will be the first to clean him up.
The young man steadied himself and looked at Xu Meng at the door, "This guest, this is the backyard, outsiders are not allowed to come in." ”
Xu Meng stood in his mouth, his expression was indifferent, but he didn't speak.
"Guest officer, if you don't leave, I'll call someone." Seeing that Xu Meng did not react, the young man strengthened his tone again.
Xu Meng ignored the clamoring youth, looked at the young man on the ground, and said lightly, "Do you want to fight back?" ”
The young man's body trembled, and the hand holding his head was slowly lowered, revealing a green face, full of hesitation and hesitation.
The young man raised his head and glanced at the young man, and then a trace of hatred flashed in his eyes.
The young man looked at the young man and didn't take it to heart, and a sneer hung on the corner of his mouth, "You have to think about it, otherwise I will let my uncle fire you!" ”
Hearing this, the young man's body trembled slightly, a trace of hatred and resentment erupted in his eyes, his hands were clenched tightly, and the green tendons of his arms burst out, as if he was about to devour people.
"Have you really figured it out? You know, what else can you do without the job of running a hall? The young man's face was gloomy and his words were punned.
Xu Meng glanced at the young man lightly, and did not pay attention to it, and then turned his gaze to the young man.
Waiting for the teenager's reply.
The young man's body trembled continuously, and the light in his eyes dimmed a lot, and then he closed his eyes tightly, his eyes were full of unwillingness, his fists were clenched tightly, and the green tendons of his arms burst out.
Then he let go of his hands in vain, a little weak, and a little resigned to his fate.
Seeing the young man behaving like this, the young man laughed twice, full of pride, and turned his head to look at Xu Meng, "Guest officer, this is the backyard, please!" ”
The smug look looks like a big victory.
Xu Meng glanced at the young man lying on the ground, shook his head slightly, and walked towards the front door.
For the young man, he couldn't say that he was disappointed, he was just doing it casually, but he saw that the young man was similar to him before, so he helped him casually.
Stomp, stomp!
The young man watched Xu Meng walk away step by step, his eyes were full of trembling apologies and unwillingness.
"Hey, hey, boy, it's very good, I won't take your money this time."
The young man seemed to be satisfied with the boy's reaction, and with a smile on his face, he patted the boy on the face, and then walked out of the room humming a tune.
The young man seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and then looked at the young man's thin and obscene back, a trace of humiliation and hatred flashed in his eyes, his hands were clenched tightly, and the whole person trembled with excitement.
This resentment is not only for the youth, but perhaps more so for oneself.
Then the young man trembled and opened his palm, and a bloodstained silver lay in the palm of his hand, and the young man exhaled, wiped the silver carefully, and carefully put the silver into the sachet he carried.
Carefully and meticulously, it is like before, when I wiped the table for Xu Meng.
The sachet was not stained with any soil, and it could be seen that the boy was also protecting the sachet before, and the sachet was not gorgeous, but only sewn from a piece of coarse cloth, and a lotus flower was embroidered crookedly on the surface.
The boy put the sachet in his arms, stood up with difficulty, patted the dirt off his body, and then endured the pain and walked out of the house.
......
As soon as Xu Meng walked to the front door, he saw Yang Xinruo and the three of them standing at the curtain, looking at him quietly.
Xu Meng glanced at it lightly, skipped the three of them, and walked towards the door of the teahouse.
A voice came slowly,
"Believe it or not, it was just an accident that I was there last night, and I didn't do anything, and if you still don't believe me, then I can't help it."
"Miss, I can't see it, this Xu Meng is still a good person?"
Looking at Xu Meng's back, Qiu'er's gaze became a little weird, obviously she didn't expect Xu Meng, who they identified as a thief, to do such a thing.
"Miss, do you say what he said is true?" Cui'er's eyes are strange and complex.
"It's not like a fake, but even if it's fake, you have to look at it as if it's real."
Qiu'er hurriedly said, her tone was so resentful, Miss asked her to take a bath last night, she didn't agree, otherwise wouldn't it be dangerous?
Yang Xinruo looked at Xu Meng's back, her beautiful eyes flashed with a hint of color, and then she became more interested in Xu Meng.
Xu Meng walked out of the teahouse and walked on the street, his eyes flashing slightly, with a little thought.
The matter of the teahouse is just a small episode, and the most important thing for him at present is to know the current time period and what stage the plot has developed.
However, judging from the encounter between the empty boy and the pig demon, it should be close to the end of the plot.
After Chen Xuanzang left Gao Laozhuang, he headed towards Wuzhi Mountain, he was walking, so it would take a while, and his current position was quite close to Wuzhi Mountain, but he could observe what the nearest exorcist was doing.
......
In the distance, a woman with a child pulls a passer-by to ask for directions.
"I'm sorry, do you know how to get to Yunmiao Teahouse?"
"I don't know."
"Oh, thank you!"
......
Suddenly, a voice asking for directions sounded, "Hello, do you know how to get to Yunmiao Teahouse?" ”
Xu Meng came back to his senses and looked at the two people in front of him, the woman was about twenty years old, and she looked a little handsome, but her eyes were gray and not focused at all, she looked like a blind person, and her clothes had a few patches on her body, and she was holding a slender stick in one hand in order to explore the way, and she was holding a seven or eight-year-old girl in one hand.
The girl's dress is also simple, but it is better than the woman, looking at Xu Meng with big watery eyes, and seeing Xu Meng's dress, she is quite afraid.
"Go straight, about three hundred meters... It's about a hundred zhang away. ”
Xu Meng's eyes flashed, this Yunmiao Tea House was the place where Xu Meng had stayed before.
"Thank you!" Hearing that Xu Meng was a man, a trace of blush flashed on the woman's face, and then she thanked Xu Meng, and then looked at the little girl on the side, "Let's go, my mother will take you to your Uncle Fang Yuan." ”
"Well, Uncle Fang Yuan!" The girl nodded, her expression a little joyful.
The woman turned her head with a smile, and in a place where the girl couldn't see, a trace of sadness flashed on the woman's face, and then she pulled the excited girl and walked forward with difficulty.
Xu Meng turned around and looked at the two of them, his eyes flashing with a hint of thought.
