Chapter 304: The Tea Stall
Chapter 304: The Tea Stall.
But if even the heavy treasures such as Xuanling Tongtian Vine were not their purpose, what was the real purpose of those people, Du Shaofu was puzzled, and it was difficult to figure it out for a while.
"Where are we going now?"
Gu Xinyan's eyes under the red veil looked at Du Shaofu, moved his lips slightly, and the corners of his mouth outlined a perfect arc.
Du Shaofu said: "Go to the auction in Mujiabao, I want to go and see it first, do you know the place?"
"Yes. Gu Xinyan nodded.
In the dark city, the streets and alleys are bustling during the day, and the crowds are surging, accompanied by the sound of noise.
In the streets and alleys, a lot of strange figures can be seen in the past two days, but they will not attract too much attention.
The presence of some strangers in the Dark City is a normal thing for the Dark City.
In the streets and alleys, in the noisy crowd, there are many people talking about the battle in the dark city last night.
A lot of Wuhou realm powerhouses fought each other, but it was amazing, and it was said by everyone in a colorful way, plus some oil and vinegar, and it became more and more outrageous.
The Mujia Merchant House stands on the most lively and prosperous street in the Dark City, with majestic buildings that cover a huge area, almost occupying an entire small half of the street.
It is said that in the VIP hall on the second floor, even the Xuan-level high-grade exercises, the secret bones of the powerful demon beasts on the earth beast list, Hou Pin martial arts, Hou Pin pills, etc., can be purchased.
It's just that even in the dark city where strength is respected and there are no rules, no one dares to fight the idea of the Mujia Firm, because everyone knows that behind the Mujia Firm is the Mujia Fort.
Mujia Fort, one of the four major forces in the Dark City, who dares to pay attention to the Mujia Firm.
In a dark city without rules, strength is respected, but in fact, the biggest rule is strength.
Mujiabao is one of the four major forces in the Dark City, representing the forces in the Dark City.
Over the years, there have been many people who have challenged the authority of Mujiabao, but there is no doubt that those people have completely disappeared into the Dark City and never reappeared.
On the side of the Mujia Commercial Bank, there is a rather dilapidated alley, but it is extremely clean, and it also has a quaint smell, it seems that this alley has been stored for many years, and it is still standing in the wind and rain.
On the side of the alley, there is a dilapidated hut that does not fit in, and outside the hut, on top of the alley, is covered with a thick shabby canvas to shelter from the wind and rain.
The alley was occupied, filled with five or six tables, with an old woman and grandson selling tea.
In the morning, there were not many tea drinkers, only two tables, one of which was Du Shaofu wearing a cloak and Gu Xinyan covering his face with red veil.
In a place like Dark City, there are not a few people with cloaks or even disguises, so no one is surprised.
There will be no one to inquire about the identity, anyway, in the dark city, there will be fugitives from the major empires, people who hide from enemies, hidden people, and all kinds of people will not be in the minority.
On the table across the table, there seemed to be three big men, who were talking about some of last night's meat things without lowering their voices, and after a while, a few rude words came out of their mouths, which made Degu Xinyan listen, and his face under the red veil was also a little flushed.
"That's the Mujia Firm, and it's going to be auctioned there tomorrow. ”
Gu Xinyan looked at the magnificent building in front of him and said to Du Shaofu, under the red veil, his red lips opened slightly, he took a sip of tea, and then his delicate face moved slightly, quite surprised, and said: "I didn't expect the tea on this small tea stall to be so delicious, but the business seems to be too good, strange, if this is in the imperial capital, I am afraid it is enough to fill the house." ”
Du Shaofu also took a sip of tea, his mouth was fragrant, and said: "It's not a famous tea, but it's very delicious, it's just that the people in this dark city live a life of licking blood on the knife edge, I'm afraid that few people have the leisure to drink tea, and naturally business will be average." ”
Then Du Shaofu's eyes looked at the Mujia business house across the street in front of him, and his clear eyes did not see any fluctuations.
"Have you thought of a way?" Gu Xinyan asked Du Shaofu.
"No, but I'm going to go inside and find someone first, and hopefully I can find it. Du Shaofu said.
"A few guest officers, you forgot to leave the tea money. ”
Just when Du Shaofu was about to leave, a crisp voice came, a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy stepped forward, with a round face, two thin eyebrows, a pair of big eyes, and a slightly smaller nose, which was also quite well-proportioned, and his eyes were also very bright, revealing a sense of innocence.
Du Shaofu thought that the little boy was reminding himself, but after turning around, he realized that it was the table next to him, and the three men who looked like they were in their thirties got up and left, but it seemed that they forgot to leave the tea money, so the little boy chased after him.
"Uncle forgot to bring change today, I'll give it to you another day, and I owe it first. ”
When a big man saw the little boy chasing after him, his eyes showed displeasure and fierce eyes, and he stretched out his hand to push the little boy who stepped forward and pushed him away, and then walked away.
"Guest officer, our tea stall is a small business, and we don't take credit. ”
The little boy took a few steps back, and when he saw the fierce and vicious appearance of the big man, there was some fear in his bright eyes, but then he mustered up his courage and chased after him again.
"Boy who doesn't have long eyes, go away. The big man pushed the little boy away again and pushed the little boy to the ground.
But the little boy took the opportunity to hug the big man's leg and said, "Guest officer, we really don't pay on credit, you have to pay for the tea if you drink tea." ”
With such a scene, it immediately attracted the attention of many people coming and going on the surrounding streets, and suddenly the alley was surrounded by dense people.
"I didn't even give money for tea, and my character was really low enough. ”
"This ancestor and grandson depend on each other for their lives, relying on tea money to survive, and there are still people who don't give tea money, which is really excessive. ”
Looking at the three big men, although there are few people walking in the dark city, there are few good stubbles, but when they saw that there were people who didn't even give tea money to women and children, the old and the weak, and bullied the old, weak, sick and disabled, which was also a taboo for walking in the rivers and lakes, many eyes immediately showed disdain for the three big men.
People who live in the neighborhood know that this tea stall is run by an old woman and her grandson, struggling to survive.
The old woman has lived in this small alley for dozens of years, and no one can remember how many years it is.
But as the years changed and time passed, the old woman got older and older.
Some people also heard that the old woman's grandson was adopted, and a little beggar picked up on the street in front of the alley, who was only three or four years old at the time, was already dying when the old woman picked it up, but it was a big life, so he survived.
Eight or nine years have passed in a blink of an eye, and the little boy has reached the age of twelve or thirteen, and he is already able to help the old woman sell tea.
The grandfather and grandson have been making a living by selling tea, and their lives are very hard, but they can often see the little boy's face rippling with a childish smile.
At this time, they were pointed at by the surrounding crowd, and the three big men also looked bad.
"Little crumbs, get out of here!"
The big man who was hugged by the little boy's leg was angry, and with a fierce kick, he threw the little boy away a few meters away, and fell to the ground hard, and then the three of them planned to leave quickly, and so many onlookers around pointed and pointed, they couldn't stand it.
"You've gone too far!"
And at this moment, a cyan figure wearing a cloak blocked in front of the three big men.
It was Du Shaofu, who was also planning to leave on the side, and when he saw the scene in front of him, he couldn't help it.
Du Shaofu looked at the three big men under his cloak, and said lightly: "Settle the tea money, apologize to the little boy, and then compensate for the medical expenses of 1,000 Xuan Yuan, and then leave." ”
"Are you alright? Gu Xinyan also went to the little boy who fell and helped the little boy up.
"Thank you, sister, I'm fine. ”
Listening to Gu Xinyan's voice, the little boy patted the dust on the simple but clean clothes on his body, and judged that it was a sister who should not be too old, and there was a kind of intelligence in his bright eyes.
"Boy, which onion are you, nosy, do you want to die, get out of me!"
The big man listened to Du Shaofu's voice, it should be just a young boy, and suddenly the fierce light in his eyes trembled, and he wanted to do it, in the dark city, no one said mercy.
"I gave you a chance, but you didn't want it, even the weak are miserable, and keeping your life is also a scourge. ”
When Du Shaofu's words fell, a fist also fell on the big man's chest strangely, and the big man didn't react at all, and suddenly a stream of blood spurted out of his mouth.
"Poof!"
As the blood spurted out, the fierce man didn't even have time to scream, and fell directly to the ground softly, instantly lifeless, his eyes closed weakly, and fear and regret welled up in his last gaze.
"Your Excellency, spare your life. ”
Seeing this, the two big men around them suddenly trembled in fright, and immediately knelt on the ground, knowing that they had met a strong person, they were only at the level of the innate realm, and in the eyes of the strong man in this dark city, I am afraid that it is similar to an ant.
"Compensation for medical expenses, tea money, and taking the body away. ”
Du Shaofu said indifferently, the two Innate Realm cultivators didn't have the heart to kill, and they didn't want to attract too much attention.
Hearing this, where did the two big men dare to delay, and after dropping all the Xuan coins on their bodies, they hurriedly pulled the corpses of their companions and left in a hurry, not daring to linger for a second.
"Kill well, that guy deserves to die. ”
Seeing the big man being killed, the onlookers did not have any pity.
