"Fluttershy, are you hungry?"

Under the needle-like gaze of the sugar gourd boss, Xie Qiao realized that something was wrong, and hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed Yudie's hand that had just touched the crystal sugar gourd.

However, only to hear a crisp click, Yu Die stretched out his hand and fed it to his mouth, and a sugar gourd was swallowed by Yu Die.

It's embarrassing......

When the boss with a gloomy face stared at Yudie with a resentful expression, Xie Qiao smiled and said, "Big, uncle, I'm sorry...... My sister is not sensible......"

The boss of the sugar gourd looked the two up and down, and then moved his gaze to Yu Die, who was eating the sugar gourd with relish, and said expressionlessly: "Sugar gourd, a penny and a string." As he spoke, he spread his hands and twitched the corners of his eyes under Xie Qiao's bewildered eyes.

"Money?" Regarding the novelty of money, Xie Qiao, who grew up in the Caidie clan since childhood, had never heard of it in the clan before, let alone carried it with him. Now it can be said that he is empty-handed and penniless, except for his cyan jade pendant, he doesn't even have a valuable thing on his body.

The embarrassed expression was instantly captured by the boss, "What?

"That...... What is money? Can I eat it?"

"You really don't have any money!" When the sugar gourd boss heard this, he was immediately furious, and then took out a string of copper coins from the cloth bag on his waist and spread it in the palm of his hand, and said, "Oh, this is money!"

"Uh...... "Isn't it just a round piece of copper with a piece dug in the middle?

But the boss was impatient, and turned to look at the girl licking the sugar gourd beside Xie Qiao, looked the two up and down again, and said uncertainly: "You two are outsiders, right?

"It's... Yes, we're new here, so we're not familiar with it yet. Xie Qiao nodded in response.

Xie Qiao said, Yu Die next to him stared at the two people in a daze, although he didn't quite understand what they said, but he still saw a little nervousness in his eyes.

Looking at the ignorant girl, the sugar gourd boss sighed slightly and said, "It's not easy to see that you two have come all the way here, even if you invite you to eat this sugar gourd." ”

As soon as he heard this, Xie Qiao raised the corners of his eyebrows, and hurriedly thanked: "Thank you, uncle!" At this time, he seemed to remember something, and asked again, "That, uncle, do you know where the Yuanlong heir is?"

"Yuanlong heir?" the boss was stunned and stared at him with a frown, "You want to find the Wang family?"

"Hmm!" Xie Qiao nodded.

Looking directly into his eyes, the sugar gourd boss immediately raised his head and smiled, patted him on the shoulder and said: "Young man, not everyone can see the dragon soul, don't waste your efforts, let's go home, the capital is not as peaceful as you imagined!"

These words couldn't help but make Xie Qiao wonder for a while, what is a waste of effort?

However, when he came back to his senses, the sugar gourd boss had already carried the gourd skewers and walked to other places. The dream from last night hit him again, and he felt trapped in a quagmire and couldn't move.

Suddenly, someone pulled his sleeve, turned around, Yudie licked her pink lips and said to him playfully: "Qiao'er, I still want to eat!"

The string of sugar gourds in her hand has been eaten, and he hasn't tasted any of them, "That...... Fluttershy, you have to pay for eating here......" Xie Qiao said helplessly with a bitter face.

"Money, what's that?" asked Yudie, tilting her head.

Xie Qiao shrugged and replied, "It's just a round piece of copper with a square hole dug in the middle." ”

"Then you can find some money, I'm hungry anyway!"

Yudie twisted and wrapped around him, and his little belly also gurgled and drummed, Xie Qiao only felt tired. Helplessly, he looked around and dragged her into a tavern.

"Guest officer, welcome, is it a meal or a stay?" As soon as he entered the door, the shopkeeper warmly stepped forward to greet him.

The business in the store is quite lively, there are scholars, part-time workers, and some old men who come to drink tea. But there were only three or two guys in the shop, and they were busy in this not very spacious shop, and the beads of sweat on their heads soaked the rags on their shoulders.

"That ......," Xie Qiao said in a mosquito-like voice, looking around, "how can you find the money?"

"Money?" When the shopkeeper heard this, the enthusiasm in his eyes immediately disappeared, and his eyes fell straight on the girl beside him, and his pure and lovely beauty was so greedy that he almost drooled.

"Uh-huh, we just came here and want to get some money first. Xie Qiao continued.

The shopkeeper pursed his mouth and said, "Do you want to be a buddy in the store?" As he spoke, he turned to a man in a coarse cloth coat at the counter next to him and shouted, "Shopkeeper, someone wants to be a buddy!"

"Oh, how many people?" the shopkeeper walked forward after clearing the contents on the counter, and saw the two people at the door at a glance.

"Hello shopkeeper, we just came here, can you tell us how to find the money?" Xie Qiao took Yudie's hand in one hand and said to the shopkeeper who came to inquire.

After looking the two of them up and down, the shopkeeper looked back at the store again, turned around and replied, "You want to be a buddy in my store, right?"

Looking at the questioning shopkeeper, Xie Qiao knew that there was hope, so he nodded and said yes again and again. The shopkeeper's eyes moved to Yu Die, frowned slightly, and said, "I happen to have two juniors in this store, you two will help take care of it in the store, can you eat and live for two cents a day?"

Xie Qiao pinched his fingers and calculated, two cents a day, and food and shelter, how could there be such a good thing in the world? However, he didn't know that the other guys in the store were paid ten cents a day, and he and Yudie were only two cents, which was not a point.

But when he thought of finding the heir of Yuanlong in the capital, it was already very good to have a place to live and someone to eat, so he didn't think much about it. For two pennies, you can buy two sugar gourds for Yudie, maybe you can capture her heart, as soon as he thought of this, he was excited.

However, he didn't know that there were already several obscene and unfriendly glances converging on the two of them.

"Pillar, take the two of them to the firewood room, there is no place for the two of them to live, so let's just take a break. The shopkeeper beckoned to the shopkeeper.

"Thank you, thank you, shopkeeper!" Xie Qiao hurriedly clenched his fists in thanks, turned around and walked towards the back door of the store with the shopkeeper.

"By the way, boy," said the shopkeeper, who drank him, "I haven't asked you what your name is!"

Xie Qiao turned around and smiled, "My name is Xie Qiao." ”

"Xie Qiao..." The shopkeeper nodded slightly, and suddenly became alert, and couldn't help but weaken his legs, pointed at him and said in a trembling voice, "You!

"What's wrong?" Xie Qiao asked suspiciously, and the shopkeeper's sudden reaction couldn't help but make him worried.

Who knew that the shopkeeper actually lowered his face and shouted: "I can't keep you in this store, hurry up!"

"What, what's the situation?" Xie Qiao was stunned by this sudden shout, but the eyes in the tavern stared at him for a while, and he hurriedly took Yudie's hand and walked to the next store.

For some reason, when the shopkeepers heard his name, they were suddenly shocked and kicked the two out. Whether it was a sewing shop or a restaurant, as soon as the shopkeeper heard that Xie Qiao had reported his name, he shouted at the two of them out of the door.

In the afternoon, after walking all over the streets of the capital, Xie Qiao did not find a store willing to take him in. The sky soon became overcast, and night was about to fall, but the two had not yet found a place to live, and the night sky was floating with rolling dark clouds, the precursors of heavy rain, and the dreary air, which made the two feel a pang of breath.

It's like being turned away, a stinging breath in the bottom of my heart.

Finally, it was still dark, and there was not a single star, not a single moonlight. Yes, just black clouds in the sky.

The night rain fell sparsely and flew down from the dark air, and then it fell more and more, and the raindrops felt a slight pain when they hit the body, and the low chirp of crickets could not be heard in the night, only the sound of the raindrops hitting the leaves.

There are no pedestrians on the streets of the capital, and the doors of the mansions are closed, and the houses are lit by bright candlelight. On either side of the gate, two large red lanterns hung and swayed in the wind and rain. The raindrops hit the bricks and tiles, making a crisp sound of bells, the fine raindrops fell on the fish pond, the spacious water surface rippled, and the lotus leaves floating on the water surface floated gently, giving the fish in the water a place to hide.

Finally, after running desperately up the mountain with two huge lotus leaves, the two found a ruined temple that had been abandoned for a long time.

Pushing open a thick layer of spider webs on the broken wooden door, a piece of dust came to his face, Xie Qiao hurriedly waved his sleeves to pat the flying dust away, pushed open the broken wooden door, and took Yudie's hand and walked quickly into the temple.

What is called a house leak happened to rain overnight, and they understood it. The ruined temple was no better, there was a huge gap in the roof, and the wind and rain flew directly into the house through this gap.

And the two of them have successfully been soaked by the rain, just like two wet chickens in soup. After being kicked out by the store, he encountered heavy rain in disgrace, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as worse.

But there is also a place to stay, and both of them are relieved. The clothes were wet and sticking to the body, and it was uncomfortable. Okay, I guess it's all over the night, so let's solve the problem of sleeping first.

Although there was a little thatch in the house, most of it was wet from the rain, and it was not used at all. Xie Qiao picked out a handful of dry thatch one by one, picked it up and piled it up in a corner where the roof leak could not be soaked by the wind and rain.

"Qiao'er, what are you doing here?" Looking at Xie Qiao, who was busy, Yudie pouted, sorting out her rain-soaked clothes and asked.

After laying a layer of thatch that can barely sleep, Xie Qiao straightened up, turned around and smiled at her, and said, "There are a lot of gravel on the ground, I'm afraid that you will be pierced by broken stones when you sleep, so pile up some dry thatch here." ”

Hearing this, Yudie's heart was sour, and her small mouth became higher and higher, and she said, "Thank you, thank you......"

Xie Qiao was stunned for a moment, and said, "Thank you, what, it's normal for my brother to make a bed for my sister." ”

"Boom !!"

There was a thunderclap outside the house, and the dazzling electric light shone into the house through the gap in the roof, Yudie was startled by this thunder, waved his hand and said: "Sleep, I have to hurry up tomorrow to find the heir of Yuanlong!" After speaking, he walked forward quickly, and plunged into the pile of thatched grass to sleep peacefully. I accompanied Xie Qiao all day today, and she was really tired from being weak since she was a child.

But Xie Qiao didn't feel the slightest sleepiness at the moment, he remembered what the tavern keeper had said during the day, especially when he heard his name, why was his eyes full of fear?

As his thoughts became more and more complicated, the dream of last night once again swept over his heart, and the vague lips made him uneasy for a while.

In the darkness, a faint cyan light flashed slightly, and Xie Qiao's rain-soaked clothes dried out at some point. Glancing back at the sleeping rain butterfly, a hint of relief flashed in her heart, and she took off the clothes that had been dried and gently covered her body. Xie Qiao sat down slowly, leaned on Yudie's shoulder, looked at the dark night sky and sighed slightly.

The whirring wind sounded outside the door, and as time passed, he felt his eyelids grow heavier and heavier, and at some point, he also fell asleep. All night, apart from the sound of wind and thunder, the only sound outside the house was the clatter of rain on the leaves.

Fear creeps in everyone's heart......

The sky suddenly changed, the yin and yang were misaligned, the dark night sky thundered, and the dark lightning flashed in the dark clouds, and the whole world seemed to be immersed in endless darkness.

On the top floor of the Zhenlong Tower, a giant beast trapped in a golden cage by layers of shackles kept struggling, staring viciously at the purple-robed man in front of him with fierce eyes.

"Father, what is the matter with the child?"

Behind the purple-robed man, a shirtless strong man bowed down and saluted him respectfully.

The purple-robed man covered his eyes, and his slender purple eyebrows couldn't hide the intense worry in his golden and purple pupils. Turning around silently, his lightning-sharp eyes and the strong man's eyes looked straight at each other, and with his vicissitudes of life, he slowly spoke: "Tong'er, the catastrophe is coming, are you afraid?"

The strong man shook his head firmly, and said sonorously, "When was the child afraid?

The purple-robed man turned around, and under the flutter of a faint purple true qi, his slender purple eyebrows slowly floated up, staring at the giant beast in the golden cage, with a little uncertainty in his tone: "Tong'er, this Zhenlong Tower has suppressed countless demon beasts for thousands of years, and this evil man, it was barely subdued after sacrificing several strong men of our clan..."

The strong man was stunned suddenly, his gaze slowly moved up, and he looked at this giant beast, Han Zhu, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said, "The child is not afraid!"

"Good!"

Before the purple-robed man's voice fell, he only heard a few sonorous sounds, and the shackles that locked the shackles opened by themselves, and under its struggle, the cage shattered, turning into wisps of golden energy and drifting away. With a roar of rage, he jumped out of the cage where he was holding it.

"Father, what are you?!" said the strong man, shocked.

At this time, the purple-robed man had already flown up, leaving the attack range of Han Qi, staring at him with hidden eyes, and said slowly: "Since you are not afraid, then get rid of it;
