Chapter 44: Conflict
He Wei slowly raised his head, his gaze locked on Xiao Zhu's vulgar face, the corners of his mouth deliberately wiped a wicked smile, went up and patted his shoulders slightly, and said with a smile: "Hehe, since you have said so, I don't think it is in vain, so I will go to drink tea by myself, you can figure it out yourself."

As soon as He Wei's voice fell, he turned around and swaggered towards the magnificent inn in front of him, whistling beautifully as he walked, as he seemed a little complacent.
Xiao Zhu's face looked very embarrassed, and he looked very eager to go up and intercept him, but he was embarrassed to continue to speak, so he sighed in a low voice, and complained silently in his heart: Hey, the young people now are really too much, isn't it just a bowl of tea money, they are so stingy.
There are a lot of pedestrians on the street, and there is a lot of traffic, coming and going. There are a sea of people, and the river is endless. Some old mothers are selling fresh vegetables, and some young and strong men are playing with knives, guns and blunt instruments in the streets, causing bursts of applause and laughter from the surrounding people, and it looks like an extremely rich town.
But the only strange thing is that in this rugged street, every face shows extraordinary vicissitudes, some are full of wrinkles, some are full of white hair, among the pedestrians who pass back and forth, they all look like they are over the age of sixties, only the young man who is not far away from the street shows that he looks very young.
He Wei walked into the inn, subconsciously looked left and right at the surrounding environment, and found that it was quite lively. The first and second floors were filled with many people, all chatting and laughing with each other, and some were drinking and having fun, and they couldn't help but sing beautiful verses in their mouths.
The inn was very crowded, and out of the crowd came a shopkeeper, wearing a black hat, with a slender whip on the back of his head, and greeted He Wei who had just walked in with a smile on his face, and politely said to him: "Guest officer, please, dare to ask whether to beat the tip or live in the hotel?" ā
He Wei deliberately put on a lofty expression, crossed his palms on the back of his head, and deliberately opened his tone and replied: "Uncle Ben, I don't live in the store, and I don't play sharp, I just need to bring me a pot of good Biluochun to quench my thirst." ā
"Well, the guest officer is careful of the steps! Inside, please. The shopkeeper bent down and lowered his head, and whispered with a kind smile on his face.
In this short few seconds, everyone in the inn shifted their attention to He Wei's body at the gate, and everyone's expression was extremely surprised, perhaps they had never seen this dressed teenager, He Wei's costume was very peculiar in their eyes, so it also caused a lot of commotion inside.
"Who is this man? It's strange from a foreign country! ā
"Fine-skinned and tender-fleshed, like a big lady, hehe!"
"You're all dazzled, I think this person is a psychopath, and he has a brain problem."
Many people put on a mocking smile on their faces, talking to each other, pointing at He Wei, who had just come in from the gate, and some even compared him to a young lady who doesn't go out of the door and doesn't step out of the door.
When everyone was laughing and talking about He Wei, only one person didn't say a word from beginning to end, and he sat in one of the corners, inconspicuous. He has a long black beard on his chin and a strange feather fan in his hand, gently waving it with a stiff smile.
And He Wei, who was standing at the gate, didn't pay attention to the discussion from his ears, smiled inadvertently on his face, and said to the shopkeeper: "Let's go, lead the way for Uncle Ben, I want to drink a pot today." ā
After the shopkeeper heard this, he suddenly blocked his face with his hand, and couldn't help but snicker quietly for a while, but the action was not exaggerated, and He Wei, who was following closely, did not notice it.
He Wei squinted his eyes left and right, but wherever he walked, the people nearby immediately stopped talking, and he could even feel countless pairs of eyes locking on his torso, causing his body to feel a little uncomfortable.
The shopkeeper led him to an inconspicuous seat, this table looked like the most humble in the entire inn, and it was covered with a lot of white dust, and when he got closer, he looked shabby, and he couldn't bear to look at it directly.
He Wei slowly looked up at the table in front of him, stretched out his hand and grabbed the collar of the little two who walked in front, gritted his teeth and said in a vicious tone, "What do you mean?" Do you look down on Uncle Ben? Could it be that I can't even afford to sit in a private room? ā
The physique of this shopkeeper is very thin, it can almost be said that it is covered with bones, and his whole body is completely immobile as soon as he is caught. Xiao Er's expression suddenly looked very flustered, and he stammered back with his trembling body: "Guest...... Guest, you misunderstood, you really misunderstood, I definitely didn't mean that. ā
"So what do you mean? Bring me to this place? Are you trying to humiliate me? Or look down on me? He Wei's tone became heavier, and his fierce expression never changed.
He Wei's move made everyone in the inn even more shocked, and every pair of surprised eyes involuntarily turned their eyes to the inconspicuous corner, and some even whispered accusations: "Hey, this kid is like this, it's too rude." ā
Although He Wei's position has become the focus of many people's attention, he himself disagreed, but his emotions became even more irritated, and he once again increased his tone, and shouted at the little two in front of him: "Do you look down on me? Say! ā
Xiao Er looked very timid, and when he was caught by He Wei like this, it seemed that tears were about to flow out, and he forcibly endured the emotions in his heart, and hurriedly continued with fear on his face: "Guest...... Guest, the seats are full today, and there is only one table left, if it really can't work, you might as well wait and come. ā
As soon as Xiao Er's voice fell, the inn seemed quieter, and the whole space was silent, and I felt that I could clearly hear everyone's breathing from my nose.
Among them, a middle-aged man sitting in the corner of the side, holding a white feather fan, looked like a little Zhuge , and was still gently agitating there, his expression was extremely calm, he smiled slightly, and closely observed the actions of He Wei in that direction.
"What's the matter? What's up? Who's making trouble? Get out of the way! Get out of the way! ā
In this silent inn, suddenly there was a thunderous roar from the crowd, as if it was a roaring wolf. Everyone was stunned by the sudden sound and looked back at the back.
In their field of vision, they found a strong man with five big and three thick, holding a thick and long iron rod in his hand, followed by four or five young and strong fierce men, each of whom did not look like fuel-efficient lamps, and they couldn't even hear their footsteps when they walked, only to see these people pressing in the direction of He Wei step by step.
He Wei realized every move behind him early on, and his expression also changed a lot. His eyes suddenly squinted behind him, and he saw several strange men walking towards him with bad intentions, and as soon as he let go of his hand, he pushed away the shopkeeper next to him, turned around and scolded those people: "What? Come and die? Didn't you see that Uncle Ben was in a very bad mood today? Don't you want to be 'buried' with him? ā
As soon as the strong man who was walking in front heard this voice, he immediately stopped, raised a hand high, and motioned for those behind him to stop as well. But he didn't speak immediately, but carefully looked at He Wei's whole body, and at the same time put on a stiff smile.
Seeing that he didn't speak, He Wei slowly stepped forward and said to him again, "What? Are you going to find fault too? Get out of the way if you know each other, don't get in the way in front of my uncle. ā
The strong man still didn't make any moves, nor did he reply to any words, and the inconspicuous smile on his face before suddenly disappeared from his face, and he kept his eyes locked on He Wei's body, his eyelids didn't blink, and he seemed to be a little afraid of the momentum emanating from He Wei's body.
Behind them, the crowd of people who were stupidly watching the excitement suddenly began to whisper, the voice was smaller than a fly, and the big eyes were whispering to each other.
"Hey, let me tell you, this kid is finished, these are the few people who can't be offended in this inn."
"yes, even if the ghost sees a few of them, they have to take a detour."
"Hey, hey! This time there is a drama to watch. ā
He Wei's ears were very sharp, and he vaguely heard the whispered conversation of several people nearby, and then looked up at the tall and strong man with well-developed limbs in front of him, who was also full of scum, his eyes were staring at him, and he could feel the sound of pinching the iron rod in his hand.
At this time, the shopkeeper suddenly came out of a corner without knowing where he came, greeted the strong man with a smile, and persuaded him very politely: "Hey, this is all a misunderstanding, this guest officer doesn't want to cause trouble, he just doesn't like this table very much, I'll just change it for him." ā
The strong man slowly twisted his neck, glared at Xiao Er on the side with slanted eyes, and roared in his voice: "What's the matter with you?" Get lost! ā
The shopkeeper's face changed suddenly, and he immediately retreated a few steps back, and exclaimed: "Yes, yes, don't be angry, I'll get out." ā
The shopkeeper hurriedly put his whole body on the ground, rolling all the way from the corner to the door of the inn, the action was very exaggerated, and the appearance was extremely embarrassing, when he rolled to the door, his clothes were already dirty and dusty.
He Wei couldn't help laughing when he saw the exaggerated every move in front of him, and deliberately raised his voice, as if he wanted everyone in the inn to hear, and shouted loudly: "Haha, a cowardly egg, a few little minions will be scared like this." ā
Although He Wei had been showing his undaunting momentum, all the people in the inn did not dare to speak, not even the courage to move, everyone locked their eyes in his direction, closed their lips and remained silent.
He Wei twisted his neck again to look at the strong man beside him, and found that the expression on his face had not changed at all, and it was still as stiff as before, but he himself had a bad premonition, so he had to force himself to speak: "What do you want?" If you want to fight, take advantage of it now, don't keep standing in place like a piece of wood. ā
The strong man took a small step forward, and the burly men behind him also took a step forward at the same time, their movements almost identical, looking like specially trained people.
The brawny man had a deep and long scar on his face, like a knife wound, which covered the entire left side of his face, causing his eyes to look fierce. When he walked to He Wei's distance of less than three feet, he finally said his first words: "You kid are tired of life, aren't you?" Believe it or not, I'm going to chop you into meat sauce right away. ā
He Wei looked down at his torso and found that his arms were thicker than his thighs, and the people behind him didn't seem to be vegetarians. But if you want to take it back now, I'm afraid it's too late.
He Wei pretended to be fearless, smiled, turned around and sat on the stool beside him, crossed Erlang's legs, and said, "Hehe! It's just a few of you, even if you go together? Don't believe you can try it? ā
As soon as he finished saying this, there seemed to be a burst of echoes of him in the inn, because it was so quiet that the sound of breathing inside was almost gone, and in addition to He Wei's voice in the space, only his echo remained.
At this time, the expression on the strong man's face still did not change, dragging his extremely stiff body, and took a big step forward, less than a foot away from He Wei, and the iron rod in his hand was slowly raised.
He Wei suddenly felt that something was wrong with the situation, and the words he said before seemed to have completely angered the man in front of him, and he immediately raised his head and said, "Wait a minute, I think you are also like a hero, you shouldn't want to win so despicable, right?" Let's go it alone, even if you win now, it won't look honorable. ā
Seeing that the strong man was about to raise the iron rod in his hand and hit He Wei with a stick, but just a second ago, he carefully looked at He Wei's body and found that he didn't care about the serious situation in front of him, and looked casual.
The strong man immediately let go of his hand, smiled at He Wei, and said, "Hehe, Shaoxia, you think too much, I don't mean that, I just want to invite you to go upstairs for a drink and give face?" ā
When He Wei heard this, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and cold sweat slowly dissipated from his forehead. He immediately got up from his stool and said, "Oh, so that's the case, then you said it earlier, I thought you were here to trouble me, and in that case, then I might as well be respectful." ā
The strong man put away the iron rod in his hand, turned his back to He Weidao, and said, "Then please, I'll wait for you upstairs." ā
He Wei immediately agreed, pinched a handful of sweat in his palms, took a deep breath, and immediately returned to the stool and sat up, but his movements were not very obvious, and no one knew what he was thinking at this time.
Several strong men climbed from downstairs to upstairs until they couldn't see them, and the people in the inn began to slowly relax their vigilance, and after a while, they began to chat with each other with laughter and laughter.
However, these people seemed to be quieter than before, not as boiling as before, and their hearts seemed to be worried about something.
Until He Wei in the corner suddenly couldn't help coughing, everyone present stopped talking, and all of them lowered their heads, and their eyes looked in his direction from time to time.
He Wei also realized this, and he already knew in his heart that everyone here had begun to have a fear of him, and there was a lot of discussion and controversy about his dress.
And at this time, the middle-aged man who had been silent for a long time in the corner suddenly picked up the white feather fan on the table, stood up from the chair, walked to He Wei's side respectfully, patted him lightly on the back, and said in a low voice: "Young man, do you remember the old man?" ā
As soon as He Wei heard such a familiar voice, he immediately remembered someone in his heart, but he didn't dare to look back directly, but replied first: "I'm really sorry, I'm not in a good mood now, let's go back and talk." ā
"Hehe, Shaoxia is really interesting, I haven't seen you for so many years, how are you doing lately?" The man kept waving the feather fan in his hand, and his tone was very calm.
He Wei knew that he really had no way to escape from all this, and at the same time remembered someone in his heart, so he had to raise his head and say to him: "Yes, I haven't seen you for a long time, I found your brother, how about I take you to see him?" ā
"My brother? Did you see him? Where is he now? The man's expression became a little surprised.
He Wei stood up, looked at him and said, "He's outside the inn right now, but I'm not sure where he is, I'll be happy to take you to find him, how about it?" ā
The man put away the feather fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Okay, thank you so much, Shaoxia, then without further ado, let's leave now." ā
"Wait a while, don't you be in a hurry, I'm not in a hurry, what are you anxious about? I ask you, what have you been doing all these years? You don't come to play with me in the sun, why are you hiding in this hellish place? He Wei replied.
"Hey, since the village was separated, the old man hasn't seen you, and I don't know where to find you?" The man looked down and sighed, and replied.
He Wei looked at the situation around him, and found that as long as he spoke, no one nearby dared to continue talking, as if they were all very afraid of him, he immediately asked the man in front of him, "Look, what happened to these people?" Why is it that when you see me, it's like seeing a tiger? ā
The man smiled and said, "Hehe, Shaoxia's actions just now are indeed very shocking, and it will naturally cause fear among many people, but this is not necessarily a good thing." ā
He Wei looked at the man and said, "Senior Xiao, you are really leisurely and elegant, and you still came to this place to drink tea, and your complexion has been much better recently?" ā
"Where, where, the magic tower has been trapped for more than 300 years, and I have long wanted to go around and travel everywhere, hehe."
The man in front of him turned out to be Xiao Ye, who had been trapped in the magic tower before, and this time he suddenly met He Wei in the inn. It happened to be the person He Wei didn't want to see at this time, and he originally wanted to send him away in a perfunctory way, but now he found that it was completely impossible.
He Wei was helpless, and remembered the thing that the strong man said to him just now, and turned to Xiao Ye and said: "Senior, maybe I'm going to miss the junior, someone upstairs invited me to have a drink, why don't you come to meet tomorrow and catch up together?" ā
Xiao Ye's expression immediately became a little flustered, grabbed He Wei's wrist, and exclaimed to him: "Shaoxia, you can't go this time, those people upstairs are not idle people, if you go, you may never be able to get out." ā
"Haha! How? Could it be that they can still kill me? He Wei suddenly burst out laughing.
"Not really, don't you really know who those people are? Shaoxia still don't go, I'll send some people to the inn to meet you immediately, and let's go back to the house together. Xiao Ye lowered his head and replied with a very unnatural expression.
He Wei looked at Xiao Ye's expression carefully, and found that something was wrong, and suddenly asked again: "Are you hiding something from me?" Don't want to, or don't want to tell me? If that's the case, then it's really going to be out of company. ā
Xiao Ye saw that He Wei turned around and was about to walk out of the door, so he immediately stepped forward to stop him, and told him: "Shaoxia, you really can't leave this inn now, I have to send some people to pick you up, so as to ensure your safe departure." ā
"Send someone? Who to send? Do you have anyone under you? He Wei looked very puzzled on his face, and he didn't seem to believe what Xiao Ye said at this time.
Xiao Ye hurriedly said: "Oh, there are some family members in my house, you can send them over, your current situation is very dangerous, if you leave alone without permission, there will be very serious consequences." ā
He Wei suddenly smiled and said, "Then I won't leave, okay?" I'll go back and have a good drink with those strong men from before, and ask them what they want to do, I don't believe it, can they still fly? ā
He Wei's words were very loud, as if he was deliberately saying it to everyone present, and after everyone heard it, they didn't dare to say anything, and they didn't know what they were afraid of in their hearts, making them look timid and pale.
Xiao Ye immediately pulled He Wei aside and whispered to him: "Shaoxia, I can't explain to you now, can you trust the old man once, otherwise it will be too late by then." ā
He Wei saw that Xiao Ye's attitude was very serious, and he didn't feel like he was joking, but there was always a sense of deception in his words, he slowly looked at Xiao Ye in front of him, and couldn't help but reply: "Okay, then I'll believe you once, you talk about it and see what to do, I will listen to you now." ā
Xiao Ye took out the white feather fan from his waist and waved it lightly into the air, he didn't know what magic he had cast, a white pigeon suddenly appeared on the fan, he took the pigeon in his hand, and said to He Wei: "I will fly the pigeon now to pass the book to the family members in the house, so that they dare to come over to meet you now." ā
