Chapter 10 A gentleman is not heavy but not mighty

It was getting lighter.

Although Ning Caichen has the power of the Devil Fruit and his physique has skyrocketed, after all, he has just mastered it, and his feet are not fast, and Wu Xingzhi is not in a hurry, if he is willing, he can naturally rush to Hangzhou, which is a hundred miles away, but when he first arrives in this world, Wu Xingzhi prefers to take his time, as a rare rest after experiencing so many worlds.

Therefore, the three of them have not finally seen the outline of Beiguo Town until now.

Since Ning Caichen listened to Nie Xiaoqian's vision, although he was still chattering, he unconsciously avoided the topic of Nie Xiaoqian between his words, and only chatted with Wu Xingzhi about what he had seen and heard and interesting things about, and Nie Xiaoqian was naturally happy.

And Wu Xingzhi probably knows some common sense about this world.

Indeed, as Wu Xingzhi speculated before, this world is in the ancient feudal dynasty, and the big country they are currently in occupies the Central Plains, the country name is Tang, the capital is Chang'an, and there are many small countries around, but Ning Caichen has never been there and does not know much about it.

There is such a thing as a demon in this world, naturally everyone knows it, and even occasionally hearing the news that someone you know is killed by demons is just a daily routine, ordinary people can only be cautious in this world, and it is okay to stay in the town all year round, if you venture into the wilderness, then life and death can only be left to fate.

Ning Caichen's house is dozens of miles away from Beiguo Town, but he has been studying for a few years, and he is strong and strong, so he wants to come out to see the world and help others collect accounts by the way, but he didn't expect to be robbed by robbers halfway, and then he bumped into Wu Xingzhi and fell to the ground halfway, and had to enter Lanruo Temple.

"It's strange to say, as soon as I entered Lanruo Temple, I felt cold, and I felt weak and powerless in the back, this world is too dangerous, if it weren't for Brother Wu, even if I hadn't been caught by the tree demon, I'm afraid I wouldn't have survived tonight." Ning Caichen had words in his mouth.

Wu Xingzhi's heart moved, judging from the effect of the other party after taking the fruit, the other party was probably really a strong person as the other party said.

And the reason why the other party became weak was probably not because of Lan Ruosi, but because, at that time, he thought he was a ghost who came back from the dead.

Fear triggered the wise state of the Lord of Fear, the more afraid he was of Wu Xingzhi, the weaker his strength would be, Wu Xingzhi thought about it, if he deliberately scared him, this person would probably be weak and unable to stand up.

"In short, Beiguo Town is in front of us, let's go buy a set of clothes, such ragged clothes are really immoral, inconvenient to walk outside, and then have a good meal, I don't know why, I feel that I can eat a cow now." The scholar was still chattering.

Nie Xiaoqian suddenly stopped, looked at the sun that was about to reach the horizon in the distance, and said: "Senior, Ning Gongzi, Xiaoqian will not go in with you, the sun is about to come out, I have not achieved the sound of ghost cultivation, there is no way to walk in the daytime, so I will go back to the pottery altar first." ”

She looked at Ning Caichen, Ying Ying smiled and said: "Ning Gongzi, Xiaoqian's life will be handed over to you, but don't damage the pottery altar, otherwise Xiaoqian will disappear." ”

"Yes, yes......" Ning Caichen's originally fast speech became stammered, avoiding Nie Xiaoqian's gaze: "Miss Xiaoqian...... Don't worry, Xiaosheng said, do what you say. ”

Nie Xiaoqian covered her mouth and smiled lightly, and her body turned into green smoke and entered the pottery altar.

Ning Caichen breathed a sigh of relief and smiled bitterly: "The beautiful woman ...... Qingben"

"Ning Gongzi." Before he finished speaking, Nie Xiaoqian's voice suddenly came out of the pottery altar again: "What do you want to say?" ”

"No, nothing!" Ning Caichen was excited, the pottery altar almost got out of his hand, but fortunately, his reaction ability also increased after the surge in physique, he shook his body awkwardly and hugged the pottery altar again, and hurriedly said: "Miss Xiaoqian, rest quickly, Xiaosheng will take you on the road." ”

"Hehe~" Nie Xiaoqian's unclear laughter came from inside the pottery altar: "Then please ask Ning Gongzi, when I find a good place, I will definitely let Ning Gongzi be the first benefactor, and do everything I can to satisfy Ning Gongzi." ”

"......" Ning Caichen didn't know how to reply, but hurriedly took off his tattered shirt, wrapped the pottery altar into a burden indiscriminately, sped up his pace, and said: "Brother Wu, let's hurry up, take advantage of the fact that everyone has not yet gone to the street, hurry up and change into clothes, so as not to be regarded as a hooligan." ”

Wu Xingzhi said lightly: "Now, it's really getting along day and night, and I will tell you secretly, ghosts don't need to sleep." ”

Ning Caichen's face turned even pale, and he had a bitter face: "Brother Wu, don't make fun of Xiaosheng anymore." ”

Wu Xingzhi laughed, and said after a long time: "You walk slowly first, I'll get some money, otherwise it will be inconvenient." ”

In terms of consumption, Wu Xingzhi has always been very principled, never prostituting in vain, and the first thing he does in every world is to make money, and his methods have become more and more proficient in this regard.

"Brother Wu is not in a hurry!" Ning Caichen hurriedly said: "Leave this aspect to Xiaosheng." ”

"Oh?" Wu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows: "If I'm not mistaken, you are penniless now, and you even searched me for silver." ”

"That's because it's getting late, and Xiaosheng has no choice." Ning Caichen said: "Xiaosheng mentioned before that Xiaosheng came to Beiguo Town this time to collect the debts, and it was already dawn at this time, and the debtor should also open the door to welcome the guests, and we will go to collect the debts." ”

Wu Xingzhi was funny in his heart, with the temper of this scholar, he could also do the work of collecting debts?

Anyway, it was okay to do left and right, so he nodded.

Ning Caichen suddenly smiled, as if he had finally found a point that could help Wu Xingzhi, although it was just a trivial matter, far from repaying the grace of saving his life, but this also made him feel excited in his heart, and immediately quickened his pace, and the two soon entered Beiguo Town, at this time, the sky was just dawning, and there were no other pedestrians on the street except for the people who came out of the morning stall to clean up the stalls, and the image of the two was indeed ragged, and it was difficult not to be looked at with strange eyes.

Wu Xingzhi is generous and does not squint, Ning Caichen is obviously a little embarrassed, he claims to be a scholar, and he feels a big loss of face because he is not well-dressed, so he covered his face slightly and trotted all the way, and finally came to a restaurant.

"This is it." Ning Caichen looked at the signboard and breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, the little guy in the restaurant had just opened the door, and when he saw Wu Xingzhi and the two of them, his expression changed slightly, revealing a trace of vigilance.

"You don't look like locals, so you don't know what's going on?"

"Nanxiang came to collect the debts." Ning Caichen bowed his hand politely: "Please make it convenient and ask the shopkeeper to come out." ”

"The shopkeeper is not here." The little guy didn't hesitate to close the door.

Bang –

A fist smashed directly on the door, and the broken wood splashed everywhere, stopping the little guy's action of closing the door, and then Ning Caichen raised his foot, and the little guy was kicked away.

"......" Wu Xingzhi stood aside.

Ning Caichen hurriedly explained: "Let Brother Wu laugh, as the so-called gentleman is not heavy, he is not authoritative, and if he is not heavy, it is difficult to establish prestige and make people pay money obediently." ”

“......”

No, why is this person so skilled?

Gu Xuan

Ning Caichen scratched his head a little embarrassed when he saw Wu Xingzhi's expression, and said: "Brother Wu doesn't know, Xiaosheng's family changed a lot when he was young, and he lived on the streets, fortunately, Xiaosheng has been strong since he was a child, and he was able to get to where he is today step by step, all by collecting accounts for others and fighting with his own fists, otherwise, it would not be my turn to come to Beiguo Town." ”

"Not to mention, although it has become a shemale body now, Xiao Sheng feels that his body is unprecedentedly good, and he may have to take a few fists to collect debts before, where can he be so majestic as now."

Ning Caichen was still chattering, and there was already chaos in the restaurant, and the voice of angry scolding came from inside: "Which one dares to come to us for trouble?" ”

"Your grandfather and me!" Ning Caichen was interrupted, his expression suddenly turned horizontal, he kicked the door panel away, and strode in: "You have dragged the purchase money of Nanxiang Restaurant for half a year, and you have not replied to the letter after sending the letter five times, do you want to repay the account or what?" ”

In the restaurant, more than a dozen strong men were eyeing each other, and a middle-aged man with a long beard stood at the front, and when he saw Ning Caichen coming in, he sneered: "I also said what is Jianglong, it turned out to be just a debt collector, why, there is no one in Nanxiang?" Leave you alone to collect the bills? ”

"It's only natural to repay the debt!" Ning Caichen raised his eyebrows: "I advise you to hand over the silver taels honestly, otherwise you will inevitably suffer a lot of flesh and skin." ”

"Joke, so many of us are still afraid of you?" The long-bearded middle-aged man smiled and didn't smile: "Give me a good lesson for him." ”

More than a dozen men shouted up, and the kitchen knives and benches in their hands came up together.

Ning Caichen is not what it used to be, he is naturally not afraid, and he is reckless directly, except for the kitchen knife, he is willing to avoid it, and all the others do not dodge or dodge, and he punches one by one, and soon more than ten people will all lie on the ground.

The long-bearded middle-aged man was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly rushed towards the back door.

"Want to run?" Ning Caichen strode over and kicked the other party over, the other party hurriedly turned over and wanted to get up, but Ning Caichen stepped on his chest and couldn't move.

"Hand over the silver taels, the account owed to the Nanxiang restaurant is three hundred taels, and my personal hands-on fee, five hundred taels."

"This ...... You're robbing! What hands-on fee costs five hundred taels! The long-bearded middle-aged man said angrily: "Even if you kill me, I can't give it to you!" ”

"Why am I killing you? It is illegal to kill. Ning Caichen let go of the foot that stepped on the other party's chest, and said: "I'm just collecting the bills, as for the hands-on fee, it's purely our personal grudge, you brought so many people to beat me together, do I charge some money too much?" ”

The middle-aged man with a long beard didn't speak, and he crawled and wanted to escape.

"You've thought about it." Ning Caichen said lightly: "You are a native of Beiguo, right?" ”

The middle-aged man was stunned: "What do you want?" ”

"As the so-called parents are here, they don't travel far. There must be a way to travel. Ning Caichen Shi Shiran read: "Since you are a local, then your parents and family are always in the town, you can't escape." ”

He added: "Even if you run away, I have a way to get you back." ”

"Ning Gongzi, this sentence is not explained like this." Nie Xiaoqian's voice came from the pottery altar behind Ning Caichen.

"Who? Who's talking! The middle-aged man trembled suddenly, and looked at Ning Caichen in horror: "Are you a human or a ghost?" ”

"Miss Xiaoqian, the words in the book are learned and put into practice, this is the truth taught by the ancestors of the saints." Ning Caichen explained: "Xiaosheng just uses his own experience to understand the words of the sages. ”

"......" Nie Xiaoqian was silent for a moment, and held back a sentence: "Ning Gongzi is talented." ”

"Passing the prize." Ning Caichen was greatly encouraged, and strode forward and grabbed the middle-aged man's collar: "Run again, why don't you run?" ”

The middle-aged man showed a look of wanting to cry without tears, and stammered: "This uncle, no, great god, what a big deal, isn't it just a few hundred taels of silver?" Is it worth doing it yourself with a fairy like you? The small ones are given, and the small ones are given! ”

"You know each other." Ning Caichen nodded with satisfaction, looked at Wu Xingzhi as if he was invited, and said, "Brother Wu, look, isn't this solved?" ”

"I'm very experienced in this area!"

The corners of Wu Xingzhi's mouth twitched.

This scholar is submissive to demons and monsters, but he is really a heavy blow to humans.

It's okay, this person's temperament wants to be able to mix well in this world, which is better than a really pedantic reader.

The middle-aged man trembled and presented a silver ticket and said, "This, this thousand taels is offered to you, I just ask you to let me go." ”

Ning Caichen took it unceremoniously: "This is what you give more, even if I report to the official, I won't pay attention to it." ”

He put it away and said, "Okay, since the debt has also been collected, you can do business normally, Xiao Er, give me and Brother Wu a table of good dishes, and then go to the town to buy two sets of good clothes!" ”

"Immortals, immortals!" The middle-aged man was so frightened that his face turned pale: "Didn't you say that you would let me wait?" We don't have anything to eat, or you have to drive out of town, where there's a black shop, and they make white meat. ”

Ning Caichen flashed his slap, raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Things that don't have long eyes, open your dog eyes and see, grandpa, I am a normal person, I don't eat human flesh!" ”

After saying that, he was stunned for a moment, and then became even more angry: "Even if you are not a normal person now, Lao Tzu will not eat!" Serve me big fish and meat, remember, it's a normal wine and food! ”

"Yes, yes!" The middle-aged man hurriedly called out to everyone in the shop, trembling and busy.

Ning Caichen put away his fierce face at this time, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, everything is done." ”

He handed over the silver ticket and said in a tone of invitation: "These silver taels must be enough for us to spend." ”

Wu Xingzhi took it and teased: "Brother Ning is really not showing his face, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, of course Xiaosheng wants to ignore what is going on outside the window, and only read the sages and sages, but in this world, I don't deceive people, people will bully me, Xiaosheng is also forced to do this, so that Brother Wu can laugh." Ning Caichen hurriedly surrendered his hand: "I know that Brother Wu is a master, and I don't know much about the affairs of this market, Brother Wu can rest assured, this time to go to Hangzhou, the small things in the market should be handed over to Xiaosheng." ”
