Chapter Seventy-Six: No Hunger, No Sitting
Time to the first month: Lan Huifen. Rui Xiang Lie. Cherry blossoms. Trail grass green. Looking forward to the beginning of spring. Flowers sprout.
After Chinese New Year's Eve, the Lantern Festival.
No hunger, no sitting.
Drag Xiaobai's blessing, Xiaohei and I will soon be unable to live in the hotel.
The reason why I chose this store is naturally because I still have some expectations for Xiaobai, I hope to have a romantic chance encounter with it and then beat it up. The kind that beats you to death.
However, the cost of this store is quite high. But Xiao Hei and I, it is impossible to open a room to save money, after all, I don't want to worry about who sleeps in the bed or who sleeps on the floor.
When I think of this, I think it's better to sleep in a cave, and I don't have such unnecessary troubles. Because everybody is the same, they all sleep on the floor.
All I have on me except for some clothes is the Night Pearl, but everything can be sold, but this is not possible. I groped up and down, and pulled out the token that Xuan Yuhui had left me at the beginning, and I was very entangled in thinking about whether to exchange it for some money.
Xiao Hei, this man who has always had a mysterious temperament since he was rescued, but is quite reliable on the whole, after he got rid of his jade wrench, he can no longer scrape anything from him that can be exchanged for money. It was also at this time that I first discovered from this cold man that I had something in common with him, that they didn't like to bring money when they went out.
But even then he didn't come home, he might have forgotten, maybe he had something hard to say, but I had no way of knowing who he was.
I think I sympathize with him.
No Hunger No SittingThis shop is located in the bustling area of Xiyin, which is a place where news is concentrated. I want to stay here and gather some useful information, maybe if I get lucky, I can meet someone looking for Xiao Hei, so that Xiao Hei can find his way home.
There are several resident storytellers in the store, who will tell everyone jokes on the high platform every day, talking about the major events of today's martial arts.
After living in the store for some time, I gradually believed in the propaganda effect that Xiaobai said. There are several names that appear almost every day, well-known names, well-known titles. In addition to these individual ones with their own halos, if the other little characters in the story are polished by a few words of the storyteller, they will be rumored to be new stars in martial arts in a few days.
Of course, there are also notorious ones.
This is also one of the characteristics of this store, the store is very witty, relying on this to attract many customers, me and Xiao Hei, is one of them. As for my thoughts, I think this place is simply the birthplace of the so-called rumors in the rivers and lakes, I just listen to it, how much truth is in it, I just have to think about Xuan Yuhui to know.
It is rumored that he doesn't know martial arts, not at all.
Speaking of this shop, when I first heard Xiaobai talk about it, I also mentioned that there are often characters with heads and faces here. I analyzed what it said, and if it is in the eyes of Xiaobai, the meaning of having a head and a face is nothing more than two situations, first, there is money, and second, there is force value.
The role of money does not need to be explained, no matter when, where, and what kind of world, its position is unshakable. Problems that cannot be solved by morality, money can almost be solved. If you have money, even if you don't sit in a place like hunger and listen to jokes, you can go up to the private room on the second floor, take the most bright position where you can observe the overall situation, and then let Xiao Er serve a few side dishes, a pot of good tea, hold a chin, and listen to a group of mediocre people downstairs coaxing and applauding while sipping melon seeds.
Well, a bunch of mediocre people, but no one applauded whether it was fun again. At this point, I must admit without pretense that in order not to be in the same league as this group of mediocre people, I went up to the private room on the second floor. Well, that's one of the reasons why I spend my money so fast. But now that I've paid for this location, I've spent a bit of time memorizing a few faces that have been in and out of this place for a long time.
As for the value of force, after listening to Mr. Storyteller's jokes for a while, I finally realized a truth.
Money is equal to power, and the value of force can also be exchanged for rights.
To put it simply, if you have money, you can pay a lot of masters to do things for you, and if you have force but no money, you can use force to force a lot of masters to do things for you.
If you are lucky, you have money, you have a naturally strong body, supreme force value, and you have your own unique personality charm that can attract many masters to volunteer to do things for you, then, the perfect life is waiting for you.
It can be said very narrowly that, according to the law of the jungle, the height of your morality may determine the breadth of what you can achieve in the future, but the value of force determines the upper limit of what you can achieve in the future.
Because, on this continent, there are many races, people and snakes are mixed, and war is inevitable. After the Demon War, even after thousands of years, there are still many borderless lands in some places, if you can conquer them, you can be the king if you want to be king, if you feel that you are strong enough, you can even use force to directly seize other people's territory.
Be the hegemon.
What a lofty ideal.
Xiaobai once mentioned the invasion of the Far East by the Western Boundary, so it also contributed to the consensus of several factions that had long checked and balanced each other to reach a consensus with the outside world. I heard that in addition to fighting each other, what these factions do on a daily basis is to maintain law and order in Xiyin. I thought in my heart, I really can't see the style of a decent family.
With my money tight, I was debating whether or not to leave here and go to another inn. The environment is slightly inferior to no hunger and no sitting, but it is more economical. In addition, it has an interesting name, called "Lost Inn".
At first, I misheard it, and mistakenly thought it was called "Lovelorn Inn", and I was still thinking in my heart, with such a name, I thought that their owner must be a person with a story.
The reason why the "Lost Inn" is called "Lost Inn" is because it is located in a barren mountain and forest far away from the downtown area, and this area is a place with the highest incidence of homicides. If you go north all the way, well, I heard it, it's a cliff and a sea.
Due to some historical reasons, this grove has become a "three-regardless" area. The Far East doesn't care, the South doesn't care, and the West doesn't matter.
Speaking of which, I have to mention that people in the martial arts are easy to resent because they have been licking blood on the tip of the knife for a long time, slashing and retaliating. If you kill your father, the son will come and kill you another day, and if you are killed, your wife will teach your son to avenge you. But if the two sides of hatred come to this meeting, the new hatred and old hatred will be ended forever.
As soon as you enter this forest, you should be prepared to put life and death out of the way.
