Chapter 3: Thorpe City
On the winding path like a sheep's intestine, you can vaguely see two figures, slowly walking towards the avenue, stepping on the yellow fallen leaves out of the crisp sound of "clacking", walking in front is a twelve or thirteen-year-old boy, wearing a cyan suit, with that handsome face, giving people an elegant beauty, behind is a tall elder, the dark face is engraved with the footprints of time, a black robe is open, holding a wine jug, staggering and dragging a lazy body.
"Boy, there's Thorpe City ahead, hurry up!" the old man looked at the young man in front of him, lazily put the flask in his mouth, took a sip, and said slowly.
"Hey, you're slow, let me hurry up, pay attention to your image, stinky old man!"
"Okay, if you dislike me, go back, I'm tired!"
"Don't, I'll hurry, hurry, ...... soon"
......
With the noise of the two, a city wall blocked the vision of the two, the tall city wall was built of huge stones, the walls left traces of war, but also left the vicissitudes of ancient times, the city gate seems to be inlaid on these boulders, tall, wide, four horses can walk side by side, the three big black characters on the city are very eye-catching. The city gates are full of pedestrians coming and going, and it looks very lively.
Looking in from the city gate, the streets are intricate, intertwined, and the shops are lined up, and the crowded streets are full of people, shouting and buying, and the noise makes this place very lively!
"Old man, where are we going?" Cai Kun looked around and said casually.
"It's a shame to see how unproductive you look!" The old man picked his nostrils with his dark fingers, dragged his body, and said lazily, "Go to the merchant shop first, find those two medicinal materials for your kid, and collect some necessities for life!"
Led by the old man, the two walked through the staggered streets and through the crowds.
With the footsteps of the old man, Cai Kun found that the shops were slowly becoming fewer, and the crowd was not so crowded, it seemed to be much wider, which was a little deserted compared to the downtown closer to the city gate, but the spiritual power fluctuations from the air from time to time added coercion to this desertion, giving people an inexplicable feeling of panic.
This is the merchant shop, he is different from the downtown he passed by just now, this is the downtown of cultivators, all the people who come here are cultivators, and most of the people at the city gate are ordinary people, some of them have never cultivated, even if they are forging their bodies, and some of them are unable to sense spiritual power due to their qualifications, and they stop after completing the forging body, but for this continent, whether it is the human race or the beast race, they all have a fanatical pursuit of cultivation!
"Let's go to the Misven Merchant Shop first and buy those two medicinal herbs!" followed the old man's footsteps again, passing through the merchants' shops, and as he slowly deepened, the old man stopped and slowly walked towards a wide shop.
"Hello two gentlemen, what do you need, what can I do to help you?" spoke a woman, her sweet voice seemed to melt people, there was no flaw on the face of the sign, a red cheongsam could not wrap a pair of breasts that wanted to pop out, the slender willow waist seemed to be blown off by the wind, and the elegant movements were pleasing to the eye.
"May I ask if there are thunder berries and carved ginseng for sale here?" Cai Kun withdrew his slightly distracted gaze from the woman and said slowly.
"There are thunder berries, but there seems to be no stock of carved ginseng, wait a minute, I'll ask the boss, two please!" The woman turned around and twisted her slender willow waist and walked towards the room inside!
"Which guest wants to carve too ginseng!" Accompanied by a majestic male voice, a middle-aged man in a gray shirt walked over, with short black fluent hair and an angular face, giving people a serious feeling!
"Oh, it's ours!" the old man, who had been silent, suddenly spoke, his eyes occasionally twitching a few times before returning to his composure.
The man in gray clothes walked quickly in front of the two of them, tears seemed to be rolling in his eyes, his hands trembled slightly, his legs bent, as if he wanted to kneel down but couldn't kneel down anyway. "Tuan, regiment leader, I've worked so hard to find you!" With the words, tears rolled down his eyes, just like a long-lost son crying bitterly when he saw his mother.
"Boss, you recognize the wrong person, I don't know you!" The old man's eyes did not change at all, and he calmly replied to the middle-aged man in gray clothes.
"I'm sorry to make the two of you laugh, there are thunder berries, but the carved flowers are gone, but three days later, there will be a auction organized by the merchant here, and I heard that there seems to be one there!" the middle-aged man regained his initial seriousness and patiently explained.
"Okay, thank you boss, then let's buy thunder berries first!" Cai Kun said with a grin.
"Little brother, don't be busy, I'll keep this thunder berry for you, if you don't dislike it, the two of you will live here, and when the auction is over, you are leaving, what do you think?" The middle-aged man looked at the old man and said as if asking.
"Then it's better to be respectful, stinky boy, thank you for this boss, haha......" The old man's hearty laughter broke the peace that lasted for a long time, and he looked at Cai Kun with a smile.
"Then thank you boss!" Cai Kun bowed respectfully and looked at the middle-aged man quietly.
"If you don't mind, call me Uncle Hua, it's kinder!"
"Uncle Hua!"
"Okay, in this way, I hit it off with this old gentleman, I have too many things to ask him about the old man, I'll let Jieya take you out for a walk, how about it?"
"Then thank you Uncle Hua!" Cai Kun looked at the old man, and the old man nodded with a smile.
"Little brother, sister, let's take you around!" The crispy voice came out of the woman's mouth, and before Cai Kun could come back to his senses, a pair of slender jade hands held Cai Kun's hand and pulled him out of the mall.
Looking at Cai Kun and the two of them, the man in gray knelt on one knee, his eyes were full of tears, as if he was about to drip if he was not careful!
"Captain, I can be regarded as finding your old man!"
Looking at the man in front of him, the old man stretched out his dark and broad hand to help him up, his face was full of kindness, as majestic and tall as his father.
"Look at your unpromising appearance, you are the captain of my black bear, you really lost it to me!" The old man rubbed his slightly moist eyes, and smiled proudly, showing that he liked the middle-aged man in front of him very much.
"By the way, how did you get here and take over the Misven Merchants' Place, how is the team?"
"I'm here for you, I heard you might be here, so I stayed in Thorpe, this shop is a new friend's, let me help take care of it!"
"What about the team?"
"As the regiment commander expected, in the past few years since you left, Liu Feng's guy has been trying to move by pulling in the team members, I think it won't be long before he will set up himself as the head of the regiment and take your place!"
"Haha, are you finally going to do it?" The old man looked at the wide street, and a stagnation spiritual power erupted from his body, and the murderous aura slowly extended outward with the spiritual power.
"Commander, are your injuries healed?" the man looked at the old man with concern, his face full of worry.
"It's all right, my realm has also improved, I think I can go back soon!" the old man looked into the distance wistfully, and his calm face became excited.
"That boy is ......"
"Yes, you guessed it right, it's his son, it's even better than his talent, I've been with this stinky boy for the past few years, I didn't expect to be separated so soon?" said the old man's tired face full of pride.
"I'm sure this kid will be greater than his father, don't you think?" the old man looked at the middle-aged man, his dark face engraved with trust!
"I believe in the vision of the head of the regiment, and I believe in this kid even more, I like it when I look at it, haha!" The hearty laughter broke the continuous melancholy and woke up the old man from his thoughts.
"Haha, it's rare that our two are so happy, we don't get drunk"
"Yuanhua, you kid, you can drink me!"
"Leader, I've not only been working hard to cultivate in the past few years, but I've also been cultivating my wine power, haha!"
