Chapter 6: Helpless
When I arrived at the bustling market, it was already midday, the street was full of noisy selling, and there were all kinds of commodities on the street where people came and went.
Such a dusty woman, with a fairy-like appearance, attracted passers-by to pause and watch. But seeing Haiqi there like a stunned green man to stop buying this and stopping to buy that, they all shook their heads and sighed, feeling that fate is unfair, this flower is not as simple as inserting cow dung, this is already falling into the dung pit.
Haiqi felt uncomfortable, and hurriedly said: "Don't buy this yet, isn't it just a puppet, what's so good about this, I'll get you a big one when I go back." He gestured with his hand: "Well, is it big enough?" ”
Yu Xiaoxiao smiled without saying a word, and after picking a more favorite one, she said, "Pay the money." ”
Haiqi touched the front and back pockets of his chest, and said with a smile: "This 、、、 this is really not good-looking,"
He went out on a mission at night, and he hardly brought any money with him, and even those few silver leaves were left a long time ago and were not used, and they were all spent for her just now, and now his pockets are really empty, and he is strapped for both hands.
Everyone roared and looked at Hatch with disdain, as if they wanted to skin him alive.
Hatch's face turned red, and he didn't dare to look at everyone.
At this time, the crowd was in a commotion, and a ten-year-old boy came, thin as a bamboo pole, gorgeously dressed, with an obscene smile on his pale face like paper, and an orchid folding fan in his hand.
He was followed by five big men, wearing big knives at their waists, all of them as strong as oxen, their eyes were blazing, revealing a sinister aura, and the strong men glanced around angrily, and everyone hurriedly avoided them, left one after another, and scattered in a hurry.
They all know that this person is the eldest son of the owner of the Blade Building, Yan Song, who is extremely exaggerated on weekdays, bullying men and women, often seeing a woman on the street who has some posture and comes forward to talk, the soft one does not come to the hard one, coercion and temptation, so that many ladies are frightened, and they almost dare not go out. The overlord of this side does all kinds of evil, and everyone who sees it avoids it from afar.
"I don't know what they're looking at, but it's going to be a lot cleaner," the boy opened the folding fan and walked over triumphantly, his gaze casually scanning.
This look is amazing, I saw that his eyes were straight, his body was stiff, as if he had been struck by lightning, and the folding fan stopped in mid-air for a long time.
"Childe, are you alright? When the men saw him like this, they cried out anxiously.
"Great, wonderful. The young man licked Hada on the side of his mouth, straightened his clothes, cleared his voice, and then walked in front of Yu Xiaoxiao like a wind, and said gracefully: "Girl, the eldest son of the owner of the Casting Blade Building, Yan Song and Yan Dashao, dare to ask the girl's surname." ”
Hai Qi knew about this person's deeds, and his hand subconsciously touched the long sword on his waist, frowning, looking at him as if he was facing a great enemy, thinking that as long as Yan Song dared to act rashly, he planned to step forward and fight hard.
And Yu Xiaoxiao didn't look at Yan Song, completely ignoring his existence, and continued to urge Haiqi: "What are you doing, don't give money quickly." ”
"No, no," the puppet seller's voice trembled, "as long as you like, take it." He didn't dare to accept a penny from her in front of Yan Dashao, for fear of endless retaliation in the future.
Yan Song 'punched the air', but he didn't look angry at all, he still smiled and said: "Since the girl doesn't want to give her name, it doesn't matter, seeing that you like this thing very much, I'll buy it all for you." As he spoke, he took out a few gold leaves from his bosom and threw them in front of the boss.
The boss looked at this huge amount of money, wiped the sweat on his head, and didn't know what to do. This money can simply put himself on a stall for a few years, although the temptation is great, but I don't know whether it is a blessing or a curse in front of him, he does not accept it for a while, and he rubs his palms on his pants, and wets his pants.
"If you take it, you will accept it," Yan Song glared at him: "How can there be any reason to buy things without paying, am I that kind of person?"
"No, no, no. The boss replied in horror, but he was secretly anxious.
Yu Xiaoxiao sneered, took out a jade leaf, put it in front of the stall, took Haiqi's hand and said, "Let's go,"
Yan Song looked at their departing backs, gritted his teeth, and secretly swore in his heart, "I must get this person in my hands, no matter what method is used, and that Leng Touqing, he must not die well." ”
"You two follow, check if they have any background, and where they are staying, you go back alone to report, bring a few powerful people over, this matter must be thorough, tonight Ben Dashao will show his strengths." As he spoke, a lewd smile appeared on his face.
The two walked through the crowd and came to the No. 11 clubhouse, and the old man who greeted them said with a smile: "Yo, the thief is back, I don't know if the task has been completed, and the set day is only a few days." ”
Hai Qi put his face in front of him and snorted coldly: "Don't look at me, who is Qi, it's a thief, a thief, a thief, have you heard?"
There were almost no guests in the thief group during the day, and there were only a few guys in the empty hall who were working listlessly there, and when they saw Yu Xiaoxiao coming, several people suddenly came to their senses, and Haiqi casually greeted a guy inside, and said: "Call the big shopkeeper to come to my room, saying that I have stolen St. Haych alive and returned." ”
"It's quite a cow coaxing," Yu Xiaoxiao teased: "With your skills, you still steal saints, and stealing dung is almost the same." ”
Haiqi said unhappily: "Don't laugh at me, although my strength is a little worse, but so far there is no lock that I can't open." ”
Yu Xiaoxiao snorted coldly, the two made a fuss with each other, and then they arrived at Haiqi's room, and it was not an exaggeration to see this messy house, which could be called a rat's nest and snake cave, and Yu Xiaoxiao was willing to go in whatever she said.
"You haven't been in my room yet, you'll die if you do," Hatch said solemnly.
"It's not a place for people to live at all, I'm just going to stay outside. Yu Xiaoxiao had some drums in her heart.
"No, you have to come in and have a look, or you won't have a chance in the future, really, come in, it's pretty good, or I'll ignore you." "Hedgway coercions and lures.
"I'm a girl's family, it's not very convenient," Yu Xiaoxiao made an excuse randomly.
"I tell you, this marrying a chicken is a chicken and a dog is a dog, although you didn't marry me, but you have to listen to me if you follow me. "Hatch went crazy for the first time.
Later, Haiqi couldn't help but say, and dragged him in.
When he saw Yu Xiaoxiao, he couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, and then his face returned to his original calmness, and he smiled calmly:
"I haven't seen you for a while, and I brought such a handsome girl back, it's okay. Saying that, he was looking Yu Xiaoxiao up and down, feeling that she seemed to be unfathomable, her strength was far above him, and she didn't seem to have any skills, in short, it was very strange.
"Don't laugh at me," Hatch introduced each other, and said, "I've got it back, take a look." ”
The big shopkeeper took the second box, nodded and said, "I will notify Mofeng Lou as soon as possible and let them come over to get it, what about you, what are your plans, do you really want to go there to learn art?"
"yes," Hatch said, "I'm really reluctant to do this." ”
"What nonsense, you are always welcome to come back, and if you have any difficulties, just say it, as long as it doesn't violate the principles of the adventure group, I will definitely be able to help. The big shopkeeper was frank, took out a ring, handed it to Haiqi and said: "It contains your salary and remuneration in the past few months, and I will keep it for you, and the eldest brother has no gifts, and this space ring will be given to you by the way, and it will be convenient to pack anything you want in the future." ”
Hatch took it solemnly with both hands, his face full of gratitude.
"You pack up, Mofeng Lou should come over soon, I'm leaving, I hope you won't let me down next time you see you." The shopkeeper turned around and shook his head helplessly.
Seeing his departing back slightly stiffened, Haiqi couldn't help but feel a little melancholy, and suddenly remembered the words in front of the door that day, which still clearly lingered in his ears, "March twilight in the city of smoke and rain, the door covers the dusk, and there is no plan to stay in spring"
Did he know that he would leave sooner or later? The big shopkeeper had always regarded him as an elder brother and had taken care of him in many ways, but now that he was really leaving, he was somewhat reluctant.
The two of them packed up for an afternoon, and when they went out, it was dusk, the stalls in the streets and alleys gradually dispersed, and only the cool breeze was left on the empty streets, and under the blood-colored sunset, the two dragged a long shadow and walked in the fading crowd.
"Hatch, is there anything fun here at night?" asked Yu Xiaoxiao expectantly.
"There are a lot of fun places," Haiqi said one by one: "For example, Mengzui Building, Seafood Building, Cuihong Mansion or something, but the most lively is the Green River, and there are countless people who go there every night, either watching the scenery by the river, or drinking in the river, but you can meet it." ”
Yu Xiaoxiao couldn't help frowning when she heard this: "Except for the serious point of the seafood restaurant, the others seem to be places where men go, where have you been, how many times have you been, and explain truthfully." ”
Hatch complained bitterly: "I don't have time to go to this kind of place at night, I take the mission." ”
Yu Xiaoxiao was skeptical, and said, "Since you men can go to the place, then I will also go and take a look, and I will go to the Luyin River tonight." ”
Hai Qi was stubborn, so he had to obey her, but he still felt that something would happen sooner or later if he continued like this, after all, the Yan Song he met today was just the beginning, and he didn't know if he would take action next.
"That's it," he thought to himself, after the people from Mofeng Tower came, he would no longer be afraid of others being entangled with him.
When night falls, the twilight is heavy and shrouded in the whole misty smoke and rain city, and also puts a thick white veil on the dripping green river on both sides of the river, before night, both sides of the green river are full of snacks, noisy and shouting constantly, and the boats in the river are brightly lit, dyed a piece of river water.
Under the guidance of Haiqi, the two came to the shore and followed the river bank to the most prosperous area, only to see a wooden bridge leading directly to the center of the river, and at the end there were two large pillars supporting a wooden sign, with three eye-catching big characters written "Will not be drunk".
Behind the sign is a large ship, six stories high, huge, with an open gate on the side, like a giant beast lying in the middle of the river, with its mouth open about to devour its prey.
The two walked to the side of the boat, and ushered in two women in their twenties from the door of the boat, with enchanting figures and beautiful postures, one of them stepped forward and said with a smile: "Young Master Hai, rare guests, come on, please inside"
Yu Xiaoxiao frowned when she heard this, and looked at Hai Qi angrily, but it was not easy to attack in front of everyone, so she had to follow with hatred to see what tricks he still had.
Hai Qi opened the space ring, scanned it with his divine sense, and found that there were more than 30,000 gold leaves, more than 50,000 silver leaves and scattered copper leaves, in addition to some elixirs and pills for saving injuries. He didn't have time to pay attention to this for the time being, so he casually took a few silver leaves and sent the two women at the door.
After walking straight in, you will be greeted by a spacious dining room, luxurious and dazzling decorations, large and small tables full of rows, the smell of alcohol, and the inside is overcrowded, mixed with fish and dragons, and the noise is even more unbearable.
A woman in her forties walked over to the front desk, wearing heavy makeup and glamorous makeup, waving a handkerchief and flattering: "Hey, isn't this Young Master Hai, the son of Hai, last time you snubbed Sister Qiuhong, she doesn't want to eat now, she has lost a lot of weight, and she can't be so ruthless this time!"
Haiqi wanted to cry without tears: "Aunt Qian, don't say it anymore, okay, I'm bringing someone to drink a little wine today, don't hurt me innocently." ”
