Chapter 41: The Black Market

Tian Yao didn't know any martial arts, she just followed Ah Li all the time, and when her footsteps stopped, she found that the bully who had fled from the desert appeared in front of them. Her first reaction was to glance at Ah Li beside her, and seeing that the latter's face was calm as usual, she slowly withdrew her gaze.

And there was already a dead end in front of him, and the bully had been forced by them to have no way out, so he suddenly knelt on the ground and begged for mercy: "Please have a lot of two adults, let go of the small one." The little ones really didn't do anything bad. He looked like he was about to cry.

Seeing the miserable appearance of the bully, Tian Yao's heart softened, and she felt as if she was a little undeserved, why did she have to chase after others if she was doing well.

"Then what happened to that person just now, he knelt down for you voluntarily?" Just when her heart was shaken, Ah Li suddenly said lightly, a pair of black eyes went straight to the bully, and the clear light seemed to be able to penetrate everything.

The bully is speechless, and that's why he seems to have a ghost in his heart. Seeing him like this, Tian Yao was a little angry in his heart, he shouldn't be shaken because of a person's one-sided words.

However, the bully didn't seem to give up, and suddenly kowtowed: "Please, little ancestors, spare my life." I know there's a black market nearby during the Lantern Festival where you can find some good treasures, and I'm willing to take two adults with me. ”

After speaking, the bully secretly watched the faces of the two, and found that Ah Li's expression was indifferent as if he hadn't heard it, but when he saw Tian Yao's eyes flashing, he couldn't help but feel a burst of ecstasy in his heart, and his intuition told him that there was a door!

He thought well, Tian Yao was indeed tempted by this. Thinking that she was an archaeologist in her previous life, she took collecting and appreciating antiques as her hobby, and she never got tired of it, although she rarely had the opportunity to come into contact with antiques after crossing over, and she temporarily buried that hobby in her heart, and now someone said that she could take her to a place where she could Taobao shellfish, which was simply a godsend!

From this point of view, Tian Yao really wanted to go to this black market, and she glanced at Ah Li hesitantly, wanting to ask for his opinion. But Ah Li bowed his head slightly and said, "According to your wishes." ”

"Thank you!" She was so excited that her face turned red, and her eyes were shining brightly when she looked at Ah Li, and her eyes looked watery and very moving.

She didn't notice that Ah Li's eyes became darker, but turned her head to the bully and said, "As you said, you and I let you go, but you have to take me to that black market." With that, she simply gave up her position and motioned for the bully to leave.

"If you lie to me, you won't be spared." When the bully passed by her, Tian Yao suddenly smiled, her voice was not loud but she could hear it clearly.

The bully shook his head and nodded hurriedly, and he left the terrible hell. The rest Ah Li and Tian Yao glanced at each other, silent, and the two returned to the inn together.

After going back, Ah Yao's words were much less, and she could see that she had something on her mind, and most of them were thinking about the "black market", Ah Li quietly watched her fidgeting for an afternoon, and finally said: "Why don't we let him show us the way on the same day, and it can also prevent fraud." ”

Tian Yao nodded, "Okay." In fact, she thought so in her heart, but she was embarrassed to say it, she was the only one who wanted to go to the black market, but now she forcibly pulled Ah Li together, no matter how she thought about it, she was a little uncomfortable.

She found a random doorman and gave some silver taels to call the bully to the inn, at first the doorman had an unbelievable look on his face, and finally he gritted his teeth and accepted the silver from the white flowers.

Hoping that the bully could get here soon, Tian Yao looked at the dim sky outside the window, and the sense of urgency in her heart became even stronger.

However, before the bully could come upstairs, he first heard a quarrel downstairs, which seemed to be quite noisy, and a lot of talking was chaotic, like a hornet.

"What the hell is going on?"

Tian Yao couldn't sit still, thinking of the quarrel downstairs, and suddenly had an ominous guess, she and Ah Li cautiously went down the stairs. There was chaos downstairs, tables were pushed to and fro, chairs were overturned, and a bunch of people gathered in the center of the hall, looking unkind.

"Get out of our restaurant!" A man shouted, seeing this, her heart tightened, only to feel that the sense of foreboding was getting stronger and stronger, only to see a tall and familiar figure in the crowd, who was it not the bully?

It's bad now, Tian Yao rubbed his temples, scolded himself for being a fool, knowing that he had a bad reputation, and let him enter the restaurant, didn't he send people to the fire pit?

"Please be quiet," she said helplessly, "Actually, I called him, he had no other malicious intentions, and he spoke with great promise, saying that he was coming to me, and sure enough, he came to me." ”

Although she is young and her voice is thin, when she speaks with a slight pressure on her voice, her voice seems to have a strange magic that can calm people's hearts. Listening to her words, the rioters quieted down for a while, in fact, the reason why there was a quarrel downstairs was that they thought that the bully was coming to make trouble, and at this time, Tian Yao's words showed that the bully was not here to make trouble, of course, these people also felt guilty for their indiscriminate actions.

"Come with me!"

While everyone was stunned, Tian Yao hurriedly pulled the bully upstairs, as the so-called out of sight is clean, if he is allowed to stay here, maybe there will be some sensation. Probably knowing that he shouldn't do it, the bully's expression was a little stupid, but Tian Yao didn't bother to care about his little thoughts, and said directly: "Tell me the address." ”

The bully really reported the address, Tian Yao nodded, a trace of hesitation flashed in his eyes, and said, "So, can you show me the way?" ”

This seemed to be out of the bullie's surprise, his expression was stunned, and he looked a little stupid and honest, scratched his head and said, "Yes." After all, Tian Yao had said good things for him, and he was polite to him, so he was still willing to help this woman.

Seeing that he agreed, Tian Yao's eyebrows and corners of his eyes showed a smile of joy, and his crystal eyes were crystal clear, and he could see a vague figure from the pupils.

Seeing her like this, a thought appeared in the bully's heart, and his mouth had already said this idea at this time: "Girl, can I follow you?" ”

Don't speak ill of him, and help him talk in times of crisis, he really wants to follow such a master.

Tian Yao was stunned for a moment, and didn't react for a long time, then a cold voice sounded first: "No." "The refusal was very simple.

The two couldn't help but turn their heads to look, only to see Ah Li with his hands on his chest, leaning on the threshold, his smile a little cold.

A light smile curled at the corner of Ah Li's mouth, but a pair of inky eyes were indifferent, and his eyes were like a sharp sword, shooting straight at the bully who had just asked to follow Tian Yao, and he shuddered.

"By the way, I have a question for you." Ah Li casually played with the hair wrapped around his fingertips, and his smile showed a faint sneer, "Before, why did you run away as soon as you saw us?" ”

Tian Yao also had this doubt in her heart, although she didn't know why Ah Li suddenly wanted to ask this, she also wanted to hear the bully's explanation.

However, the bully's face suddenly turned pale after hearing this, his lips trembled and stared at Ah Li, he couldn't spit out a word for a long time, and his eyes seemed to be soaked in horror.

"Don't you want to answer?" Ah Li continued to ask, a smile on the corner of his mouth. It's not like he's asking a bully, it's more like he's asking someone else, and it's the kind of thing that pushes him step by step without fear.

He doesn't usually talk much, but today he talks a lot, but this speech is like a knife blade buried, and it is the first time Tian Yao has seen him like this.

"I'm sorry, it's all villains who don't have long eyes...... confessed that he was wrong, and mistook the two adults for the two creditors of the villains. The bully was so anxious that he was covered in cold sweat and hurriedly knelt on the ground and said.

Tian Yao quietly looked at the big man with a frightened face, and sighed secretly in her heart, the excuse made by this bully is inevitably too clumsy, it really has no credibility at all, it is all flaws, and she doesn't know how to answer.

"Okay, okay, forget it this time, next time you have to recognize it clearly, don't recognize us as creditors again." Tian Yao came out to play a round game, and finally eased the atmosphere a little. When she said this, her gaze met Ah Li's, and this time it was not her who dodged first, but Ah Li, who had always been calm.

In short, it was unpleasant to disperse, and the bully made an appointment with Tian Yao before leaving, and a few people met at the Lantern Festival three days later, and then left in a hurry.

Three days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Lantern Festival has finally arrived.

Since it is called the Lantern Festival, it means that the * part of the festival is at night, and no one can see the lights during the day. Tian Yao and Ah Li arrived at the event site in advance, and at this time, the sky was not yet dark, but there was already a soft firelight.

There are a lot of people here, in addition to the people of this town, some are from other places, and many people are crowded on several streets, and they are panicked when they walk.

"Huh? Look there! ”

Tian Yao took Ah Li to turn left and right, and finally found a street that was not so crowded, and there were all kinds of things on other streets, this street was really simple and simple, and the only one that could attract a little attention was a "guess the lantern riddle" shop in the center.

She hurriedly ran over, and there was an old couple and their little granddaughter in the same stall, the little girl looked very cute, and people couldn't help but want to pinch it, but she didn't dare to make a mistake here.

The stall owner handed Tian Yao and the little girl a lantern, and she looked at the riddle curiously, only to see that it was written: Hui Xin Miao Ji (playing the word). The corners of her mouth twitched, and she consciously handed the seemingly difficult puzzle to Ah Li, who closed his eyes and smiled, "Don't cheat." ”

......

Tian Yao really wanted to spit out a mouthful of blood, and after glaring at him resentfully, he still had no choice but to admit defeat. The little girl next to her guessed the riddle and rewarded a little clay figurine.
