Two months later!

Fifty miles north of Chuyun City, there is a small town called Tanfang.

It's a small town with just over 2,000 households, but there are more than 10,000 people living here all year round, so it's barely a thriving town.

Its prosperity is largely determined by its location.

This charcoal house has been walking fifty miles to the south, which is Chuyun City, two hundred miles to the west is Chuhai City, three hundred miles to the east is Chuli City, and five hundred miles to the north is Chuzhong City.

Not to mention much, just by the names of these cities, you can know that these places are the territory of the Chu family.

As for the origin of this charcoal house, it has a long history, it is said that hundreds of years ago, there was no such a town here, it was just a forest, uninhabited, and the rest of Suzhou, there were endless forests everywhere, fierce birds and beasts everywhere.

It's just that gradually some people can't live in other places anymore, so they come here to make a living, and they start cutting down trees to burn charcoal, and transport it to Chuyun City, which is fifty miles away, to sell it.

However, with the passage of time, the trees in this vicinity have long been cut down, and there is no carbon to burn, and charcoal is no longer burned and sold, but the name has continued, and with the business communication of mortals in various nearby areas and the construction of roads, it has become a traffic artery, and many pedestrians and merchants who come and go here will choose to rest and reorganize here.

On this day, the town of Tanfang is still as usual, when the sun has not fully risen, the merchants who come and go begin to move, and start another busy day.

"Dawn depart!"

"Let's go!"

Gollum!

Sigh!

The sound of all kinds of cars resounded, accompanied by shouting, and in the hustle and bustle, the charcoal house ushered in a new day.

......

After the hustle and bustle of the early morning, the town fell into a brief tranquility again, and at the beginning of the town, a restaurant called Happiness Restaurant opened its doors in this tranquility.

The door here is not a pull-and-close door, but a wooden door, a door made up of planks that are a foot wide and thumb thick.

"Ah, when is this kind of talk going to be a head!"

Xiao Er removed a door panel, yawned, looked into the distance, and then looked at the deserted street, some tears flowed from his eyes, red and swollen eyes, and he looked very complaining.

"What are you yelling about, if you don't want to do it, get out, there are many people who want to make a living in the old lady's shop, there is no shortage of you, I don't want to do it, get out early!"

However, as soon as the little two complained, a woman's shrill voice came from inside the store, and she seemed to be very dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, the proprietress said yes!"

The little two leaned the door panel against the side, nodded yes resignedly, and didn't dare to say anything.

Click!

After the second child put the door panel on the ground, he then dismantled another door panel again.

"You dead fat woman, if you look good, Lao Tzu will have to kill you! It's a pity that your daughter of the water spirit is not here!"

The little two leaned the door panel to the side again, very dissatisfied in his heart, and muttered quietly.

After a while, the little two removed the three door panels.

"What are you doing with the slow grinding? We open the door to do business, the emphasis is on getting up early and being greedy for the dark, you kid don't be lazy for the old lady, if you offend the guests again today, you just roll up the shop and leave, go back to your poor mountains and wilderness, don't think that your father and I have a few relatives and want to eat white food here, the old lady is not a good person!"

The proprietress in the shop seemed to hear the little two's muttering, and scolded again.

"Yes, yes, yes, you know!"

Xiao Er still agreed resignedly, but there was a hint of embarrassment on his face, and he spat at the door with disdain.

"Huh?"

But when Xiao Er turned around, he seemed to be a little dazzled, and saw a person slowly walking towards the town.

Click!

Xiao Er didn't pay much attention to it, took a casual look, and continued to turn back to dismantle another door panel.

"That's not right!"

Just when Xiao Er was about to remove another door panel, he suddenly realized something, and suddenly turned his head and looked in the direction of the person he saw earlier.

After he saw it clearly, his originally sleepy eyes couldn't help but turn into bull's eyes, and he looked at the visitor incredulously.

I saw that the person who came was dressed in an ordinary white robe, with a tall and thin figure, and his skin was bronzed, although he looked a little thin, no one would think that he was weak, of course, he would not think that he was weak because he was carrying a tiger on his shoulder.

The size of the tiger was very huge, at least four or five hundred pounds, although it was carried, but the tail with the thickness of a wrist dragged straight to the ground.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

There are usually people and cars here, and the ground is crushed into shape, and the tiger's tail is dragged on the ground, and it brings up the yellow ash all the way.

Smack!

The young man looked like he was in his twenties, because he was still very young in appearance, but he carried this tiger on his back, and he did not feel tired at all, and his steps were steady and powerful.

"Huh!"

The young man seemed to see the little second as well, and with a hint of a smile on his face, he opened his mouth and smiled at him.

Groov!

For some reason, this little two's heart jumped for no reason.

"Stinky boy, don't you want to do it, if you don't want to do it, get out of the way for the old lady, it will take half a day to open the door!"

At this time, the proprietress in the store cursed loudly again.

"Hehe, little second brother, I don't know if you can accept this here!"

After a while, the young man carrying the tiger came to the front of this happy restaurant, with a faint smile on his face, pointed to the tiger on his shoulder, and asked.

"You stinky boy, didn't you hear the old lady call you?

At this time, the proprietress of the shop scolded again, and listening to the voice, the proprietress had already come out angrily.

Syllable!

Suddenly, a feather duster hit the door with four planks open, and then a fat middle-aged woman walked out of it with an angry face, and scolded: "You stinky boy, you ......"

"Hehe, guest officer, you came early, the shop has not yet opened, if you don't mind, you can go to the store to sit for a while, drink a cup of tea or something, the shop has nothing else, this pastry tea is a must in this radius of a hundred miles, this good tea has Biyue, oolong, green jujube......"

However, when the proprietress was halfway through her words, she found that there were already guests at the door, and she was slightly stunned, and immediately smiled and spoke.

"Hehe, boss lady, I don't know if you can accept tigers here?"

When the young man saw the proprietress come out, he didn't feel any discomfort at all, and asked with a faint smile on his face.

"Huh?"

After hearing the young man say this, the smile on the proprietress immediately retracted, and she began to look at the young man carefully.

The proprietress looked at it and found that the young man was handsome, tall and thin, and had a huge tiger on his shoulder, and she was slightly startled, but only slightly.

Hearing that the other party did not come to the store to consume, although he was handsome, it did not affect anything at all, the original smiling face turned into a black face, with a cold look on his face, and asked lightly: "Well, what are you doing so early in the morning?

"Hehe, boss, I killed a tiger in the forest in front, and when I saw that your store was open, I asked you if you could accept the tiger and see if you could exchange it for a few silvers for me!"

The young man still had a faint smile on his face and spoke.

"Oh!"

The fat proprietress answered, and then looked at the dead tiger again, and there was no expression on her face.

For such a thing as killing a tiger, it is not a strange thing in the Kamikaze Continent at all, because two monks are flying all over the sky in three days, even if you say that you killed a dragon, it is estimated that not many people will be surprised by anything.

After looking at it for a while, the fat proprietress frowned, seemed to be a little dissatisfied, and said: "Well, your tiger is dead, worthless, and you look at the body of this tiger, to say the least, it is ten or eight years old, this tiger is too old, the meat quality is not good, the guests don't like to eat, if you really want to sell, I don't think it's easy for you, give you five taels of silver, you should do good!"

"This ......"

After hearing what the proprietress said, Xiao Er on the side couldn't help but sigh lightly, and looked at the proprietress with a somewhat complicated face, but after finding that the proprietress looked at him viciously, he didn't dare to say anything.

"Boss, look at this, I'm going to go to Chuyun City to see my relatives now, and I may live there for a while, you can do it, this tiger weighs four or five hundred catties, and although the meat is not valuable, this tiger skin can also be sold for a lot of silver, give ten taels, do you think this is feasible?"

The young man was not angry, and continued with a smile on his face.

"Hmph, do you like to sell or not, five taels will be five taels, don't give any more, don't sell and carry away, don't block the door, affect the old lady's business, the old lady also sees you pitiful, you came out to make a living at a young age, and only accepted it, if I report it, you hunt the tiger privately, and the people above know it, so that your kid can't eat and walk around!"

The proprietress snorted disdainfully, with an impatient look on her face, and directly threatened.

"This ......"

The young man's face showed hesitation, but in the end he sighed helplessly, and said a little helplessly: "Okay, five taels (unscrupulous) will be five taels." ”

The young man didn't know if it was deliberate, but when he said five taels, he deliberately suppressed his voice, which sounded a bit like unscrupulousness.

"Huh?"

The fat proprietress seemed to hear something, and her brows furrowed slightly.

Bang!

The young man didn't say anything more, and directly put the dead tiger down, and fell heavily to the ground, making a muffled sound.

"Wait a minute, I'll go in and get you the money!"

The fat proprietress seemed to notice the young man's displeasure, but she didn't say anything, but there was a hint of self-satisfaction in the depths of her eyes, and she turned around and went in after saying a word.

"Ahem!"

After Xiao Er saw that the young man had sold such a big tiger for five taels of silver, his face was very complicated, but he didn't dare to say anything.

"Huh!"

The young man glanced at Xiao Er and smiled slightly.

"Oh, you can put it away yourself!"

After a while, the proprietress walked out again with her fat body moving, and handed the young man five taels of broken silver.

"Thank you!"

The young man took the five taels of silver, thanked him, and without saying anything more, turned and left, and strode outside again.

A moment later, the young man's figure disappeared into the mist.

"Hmph, I learned to bargain at a young age, and I didn't look at my own role!"

After seeing the young man walk away, the fat proprietress showed a trace of disdain on her face and snorted coldly.

"You're obviously making a lot of money!"

The little second couldn't help muttering.

"What are you talking about? Why don't you drag this beast to the kitchen?"

The proprietress seemed to notice that Xiao Er was lazy again, and opened her mouth to scold.

"Yes, yes, yes!"

Xiao Er immediately lowered his head and hurriedly agreed, and at the same time bent down, intending to drag the dead tiger.

"What?"

However, when he dragged it, he was shocked to find that the dead tiger was too heavy, and it didn't move at all...... (To be continued.) )
