Chapter 144: Trust

Since he knew that the person in front of him was a rich customer, the innkeeper naturally did not want to be lazy, so he personally ran to the kitchen to urge.

Soon the dishes in the kitchen were served, and the aroma was fragrant for a while.

The little boy was also less restrained at the beginning at this time, looked up at Ning Xiu, and after getting his consent, he directly grabbed the steaming steamed bun and sent it to his mouth.

Obviously, he was very hungry.

Seeing the little boy gobbling up, Ning Xiu smiled slightly, picked up the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all.

Although the little boy eats exaggeratedly, he is very measured, and he takes all the food that can fill his stomach, such as steamed buns. Ning Xiu sat on the side, silently watching all this.

He found that the child in front of him was small, but mature like a real man.

There are many reasons why a man moves from naivety to maturity, it may be a few beatings he received when he was a child, it may be that he has lost a few times in love, and some of it has to go through life and death.

This child has experienced how many times the world is cold and cold, and how many people have seen the warmth and coldness of people, so that he will be what he is today.

The little boy swallowed the last mouthful of white steamed buns in his hand, reached out and wiped the corners of his mouth, suddenly stood up, and knelt down towards Ning Xiu.

"Xie Qing is here to thank the eldest brother for saving his life. ”

Knock! Knock!

As he spoke, there were three loud rings.

The little boy raised his head, looked at Ning Xiu, hesitated for a moment, and still spoke, "Can the eldest brother give me ten taels of silver?"

Ning Xiu looked at Xie Qing, reached out and took out a silver ingot from his arms and put it on the table.

The whole process was done without asking for any reason.

Xie Qing looked at all this in a daze, froze in place, and after a while, he stood up, picked up the silver on the table, and said, "Thank you for your trust, big brother." ”

As he spoke, he turned around and left, and just as he was about to leave the inn, he suddenly turned around, looked at Ning Xiu, and said: "My mother died of illness, I knelt in the town for three days, sold myself to bury my mother, no one was willing to help, and I was even bullied by others. Now that the eldest brother has given me this money, my Xie Qing's life will be yours in the future. ”

The little boy said with a serious face.

And Ning Xiu silently took a breath and silently watched the other party leave.

Xie Qing just talked about trust, but in Ning Xiu's opinion, real trust would not be so cheap.

With his strength, it was easy to distinguish whether what Xie Qing said was true or false, and this kind of thing that knew the result was not real trust. Besides, that ingot of silver was all he had for Xie Qing, but it was nothing in Ning Xiu's eyes.

"Guest officer, don't be afraid of that little beggar...... Did the kid run away with your money?" the shopkeeper couldn't help but say, seeing all this.

"He won't. ”

"How do you know that kid isn't lying to you?"

"I know. ”

"And even if you really want to do that, at least you have to ask him to sign the deed of sale. You are fine now, first, you have not made a note, and second, you don't know where he lives, if he wants to run, will you find him?" said the shopkeeper bitterly.

"This is not the worry of the shopkeeper. ”

Ning Xiu smiled, and then said, "I don't know if there is any scenery near the town that can be enjoyed." ”

The shopkeeper saw that Ning Xiu had eaten the scales, so he didn't say anything more, and replied: "There is a red maple forest in the north of the town that is extremely beautiful, calculate the time, and now the maple leaves should be red." There are no special places in the west and east, but they are just ordinary landscapes. ”

"What about the south side of town?" Ning Xiu asked.

Exactly like Xie Qing, when he heard the words south, the innkeeper's face also became very unnatural.

"If the guest officer is fine, don't go south. ”

"I wonder what's going on in the south of the town, but there are bandits?" Ning Xiu asked.

The innkeeper shook his head and said slowly: "If it is a bandit problem, it is nothing, the government is completely enough to deal with it." ”

"What's that for, is it possible that there are still monsters?" Ning Xiu looked at the shopkeeper's eyes and spoke.

The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Don't hide it from the guest officer, there is a mountain one hundred kilometers away from the south of Yuhu Town, called Jade Fox Mountain, and the mountain was originally a fox fairy master. We, the people of the towns around us, often worship him, and he takes good care of us, and everyone is safe. ”

"But just half a month ago, for some reason, the business travelers passing through Yuhu Mountain all gave their lives, and so far people were panicked. And this Jade Fox Mountain is the only way to go south of the town, and after this kind of incident, no one dares to go south anymore. ”

"Jade Fox Mountain......" Ning Xiu muttered in a low voice, and then asked, "I don't know if the shopkeeper has ever heard of Wanzi Mountain?"

"Wanzi Mountain?"

The innkeeper thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it, the town's Zhang Dart Master has traveled a lot of places all year round, maybe he will know." ”

"Master Zhang, thank you for the shopkeeper. ”

Ning Xiu stood up as he spoke, and after leaving a piece of silver, he drifted away.

......

When Ning Xiu saw this dart master surnamed Zhang from the Fuwei Dart Bureau, he was somewhat surprised.

In this small town, I actually saw a qi practitioner, although the other party's cultivation is not high, but it is enough to deal with ordinary demons and ghosts.

It's a pity that Ning Xiu still hasn't been able to get the news about Wanzi Mountain from his mouth. This made Ning Xiu can't help but regret a little, he knew that he would have asked the fox demon mother and daughter, as a demon clan, they might know more about Wanzi Mountain than ordinary humans.

"Maybe we should go to Jade Fox Mountain?" Ning Xiu thought in his heart, and suddenly there was a noise in front of him.

Ning Xiu raised his eyes and saw that the scene at the entrance of the town had reappeared, and the group of children had begun to bully other children again in the morning.

He glanced at it, and found a familiar figure in it, it was the demon girl he rescued last night. He originally thought that the demon mother and daughter would return to the place where they lived after the people they were chasing and killing were killed, but he never thought that this little girl of the demon clan would come to the town of humans.

You must know that in today's world, the relationship between the human race and the demon race is extremely tense.

The human race has been oppressed by the demon clan for a long time, and they have long held back a wave of anger in their hearts, this anger they dare not go to those powerful demons, but in the face of this weak little demon girl, it is different.

Fortunately, looking at the appearance of those children, it was not because they found out the identity of the other party, but because they stole it?

"I'll let you steal!"

"I'll let you steal!"

The little fat man who took the lead, while shouting, stretched out his huge fist and punched the little girl mercilessly.
