Chapter Twenty-Four: Seon Lost His Horse
On the second day, when the sky was bright, Xu Han took Xuan'er and Woo to wait outside the city gate.
Today's Huangsha Town is obviously very different from yesterday, the soldiers who have never seen it yesterday have been guarding in the direction of the city gates early this morning, and the people who enter the city are still easy to say, but it is a lot of trouble to go out of the city, and it is a search and an investigation, Xu Han and the guards delayed for half an hour before they successfully escaped.
It is rumored that the big family in the west of the town, Lu Yuanwai, had a bad thief yesterday, and all valuable items in the house were looted, and Lu Yuanwai, who was anxious to love money, fainted several times, so he reported the case, and the government did not dare to offend Lu Yuanwai, who had a big man as a relative in the Great Xia court, and hurriedly blocked the city gate early in the morning, which led to Xu Han's opportunity.
"Looks like we're having a good day. After going out of the city gate and finding the place agreed with Chu Qiuli before, Xu Han patted Xuan'er's head with great satisfaction and said with a smile.
The tighter the guard of this city gate, the heavier the loss of that Lu Yuanwai, and the more abundant Chu Qiuli's harvest....
It was only a matter of half an hour, and I saw Chu Qiuli, who was carrying a large bag of things, poked his head out of the woods with a grimace and beckoned towards Xu Han from afar.
"Xiao Han, Xiao Han. Dahan ran to Xu Han excitedly, as if he couldn't wait to share his results, and reached out to find the things in the bag. "Guess what I got?"
"Huh?" Xu Han was also interested, surprisingly did not stop Chu Qiuli, even Xuan'er and Woo on the side came over, widening his eyes and looking at the bag in Chu Qiuli's hand curiously.
The middle-aged man never seemed to have such a concept as selling guanzi in his mind, and he didn't hide that he took out the things in the bag one by one at the moment, and said in his mouth like a few treasures: "Jasper purple light bracelet, mahogany sandalwood, calligraphy and painting of Gu Changfeng in the previous dynasty, bronze gourd ......"
In less than ten breaths, the ground in front of Xu Han's eyes was already full of various objects, Xu Han couldn't tell the truth or falsehood, but Chu Qiuli had been in the rivers and lakes for many years, although sometimes he did things imaginatively, but he had never been vague about things related to money, and from the look on his face at the moment, Xu Han felt that these things in front of him were probably enough for them to walk comfortably to Yanzhou.
"Tut, this Great Xia is different, a foreigner on the border is so rich, if you go to Yanzhou, tsk..."
Seeing this scene, Xu Han could only secretly pray for those dignitaries and nobles in Great Xia.
"Isn't this a little brother?" But at this moment, an old voice suddenly sounded not far away.
Chu Qiuli instinctively put away a stall of objects on the ground, and the speed was so fast that even Xu Han could hardly match it.
And Xu Han turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, but saw an old man with a big wooden box on his back, standing on the path and waving to Xu Han, but it was the old man who relieved Xu Han of the opera yesterday.
"What is the old man going to do?" Xu Han walked up to the old man with a smile and asked respectfully.
"Hehe, I can only sing that place in this play, and naturally I walk around, otherwise I won't be able to make money if I get tired of listening to it. The old man responded, and then changed the conversation, and said: "I heard that there was a big case in Huangsha Town yesterday, and the house of Lu Yuanwai was ransacked, and the guards at the city gate today are extremely strict. ”
The old man said this, I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, but his eyes looked at the heavy bag behind Chu Qiuli.
Chu Qiu, who was a thief, beckoned to the old man without smiling, but his body moved a short distance without a trace, blocking the old man's sight.
Xu Han's heart was also moved at that time, he carefully looked at the old man in front of him, and even tried to sense the other party's cultivation, but it didn't matter. Therefore, he could only calm his mind and asked quietly on his face: "Then where does the old gentleman want to go on this trip?"
"Yanzhou. The old man's face still had a smile on his face, and he didn't seem to notice the difference between Xu Han and Chu Qiuli.
Chu Qiuli was a straight man, and seeing that the other party didn't seem to care about his theft, he carried the big bag of things on his shoulders at that time, walked to the old man, and said with a big grin: "That relationship is good, we also have to go to Yanzhou, and we are just walking together this way." ”
Chu Qiuli's temperament is very similar to Xu Han, yesterday the old man relieved their siege, since the old man was on the same road with them, in Chu Qiuli's opinion, he could take care of it, which was very good.
"This is not proper, my body is not as good as you young people, if the two of you are delayed, how can the old man afford it?"
"It's okay, it won't take much time. Xu Han also said at that time. After probing the old man and not feeling any energy fluctuations, he also temporarily let down the vigilance that had risen before. He thought that there were still five months before the sword wielder's conference was held, and even if there was a delay in the middle, it would not hurt, and since the old man was on the same road, with yesterday's good deeds, Xu Han naturally had no reason to abandon it.
The old man thought about it at that time, and finally nodded calmly.
So there was an extra companion on this trip to Yanzhou, and the group hit the road again, but what neither Xu Han nor Chu Qiuli noticed was that the old man's right hand flicked his fingers suddenly, and a divine light was like an arrow from the string, and it escaped into the cloth bag behind Chu Qiuli at a speed that was almost difficult to catch.
And in the Huangsha Town behind them, Lu Yuanwai, who had not found the thief for a day, returned home in despair, and was about to sigh, but was pleasantly surprised to find that in the courtyard, many of his lost objects were lying there, as if he had never left...
......
When night just came, the group of three finally arrived at the third city of sorrow - Honghu City.
With a valuable treasure on his back, Chu Qiuli's waist board also responded, and after finding the inn, he paid for the old man's room very happily, although the old man insisted on paying for himself, but after all, he did not pass the heroic Chu Daxia. And Chu Qiuli finished doing this, and then he excitedly pulled Xu Han into the door.
"You said that this old man is true, I see that he is being carried by such a big box, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand it, and he is kind enough to help him carry a way, he is good, I really think that I want to deceive him, and I don't want to think about what Grandpa Chu is carrying behind his back. After entering the door, Chu Qiuli couldn't help but mutter, slandering the depressing thing about being rejected on the road today.
"Okay, why do you have to get angry with the old gentleman, find a black market later and dispose of these things, otherwise it will not be appropriate to carry so many things on the road. Xu Han said lightly, noncommittal about Chu Qiuli's belly.
"Yes, yes, these things can definitely be bought for a good price. Mentioning this, Chu Qiuli instantly put the previous unhappiness behind him, he said excitedly, stretched out his hand and opened the cloth bag, wanting to take out the things inside, and said in his mouth: "Today, when I sell these things, let's go and have a big meal, woo, what do you want to eat? braised chicken? steamed fish? big pig's feet?
At the end, he didn't forget to laugh at the whine that he was quite concerned about the identity of this wolf clan.
It's just that before he finished his words, his face suddenly changed, and he stuck into the bag and froze in place as if someone had cast a spell.
"What's wrong?" Seeing that Chu Qiuli, who had said it, suddenly lost his voice, Xu Han was also very strange.
Chu Qiuli obviously ignored Xu Han's thoughts, only to see him lift the cloth bag, turn it upside down, and then shake out the things he was carrying.
Bang!
Bang!
Bang!
With a soft sound, all the things inside appeared in front of Xu Han's eyes.
Xu Han was also stunned at that time, and an incredible color suddenly appeared in his eyes.
The objects that were clearly worth a lot before, but now they have all turned into stones of different sizes.
As a result, the small inn sounded the wail of a middle-aged man crying wolf.
"My braised chicken!"
"My steamed fish!"
"My big pig's feet!"
