Chapter IV: Exploration
Nothing was said all night.
……
"Eldest sister of the Chen family, these rice noodles and food king brother asked me to bring you, you can take them."
"Thank you for this big brother, dare to ask what the big brother is called?"
"Don't don't, don't call me big brother, you are Brother Wang's sister, that's my sister, my surname is Wu, you can call me Wu Xing."
……
Hearing this conversation, Chen Che put down the dagger in his hand in the small bungalow.
It was just dawn, but he had already woken up hungry.
As soon as he heard movement outside, he immediately took out the dagger left by his uncle.
Now it seems that he is too careful.
……
"Sister Chen, that Liu Agou was stabbed by Brother Wang, and now he is shrinking in the beggar's nest near the inner city and doesn't dare to move.
Don't worry, someone is watching him there, and if he makes any noise, I will report it as soon as possible. ”
"Thank you......"
"There's nothing to thank, Brother Wang is my friend, and he is kind to me, I should do this."
……
"Brother Wu Xing...... Do you know when my brother will come out? ”
"I don't know about this, but it won't be long before we have people in the Sky Wolf Gang in the Yamen, and stabbing a beggar is not a big deal."
……
"It turns out that Liu Agou is in the beggar's nest in the inner city......"
In the small bungalow, Chen Che muttered to himself.
There are several large beggars' dens in Stonefire City, among which the one near the inner city is the most "advanced", and ordinary beggars are not qualified to live there.
There are two main reasons for this.
First, the inner city of Stone Fire City was built directly above the Sun Stone Mine, and because of this, the closer you are to the inner city, the lower the probability of evil appearing.
For beggars who don't have Sunstone, the place is relatively safe.
Second, the beggar's nest was close to the bazaar and the inner city, making it easier to beg.
Knowing the specific location of Liu Agou, Chen Che had some bottom in his heart.
……
Half an hour later.
The mother and son of the Chen family sat at the table and ate breakfast.
Breakfast was last night's leftovers with some rice boiled gruel, and some pickles.
Chen Che drank three bowls unconsciously, and barely ate a full meal.
Seeing that her son's appetite was so good, Wang Rou took the initiative to mention Wu Xing's visit to the house in the early morning.
"Che'er, your uncle's friend sent twenty catties of rice noodles in the early morning, and another three catties of meat, there is no shortage of food at home, you can rest assured that ......"
"Mother, I woke up at that time, I saw it all."
Chen Che replied after taking a sip of porridge.
Wang Rou nodded slightly, and then sighed lightly.
"Twenty catties of rice noodles, three catties of meat...... It is estimated that it will cost a lot of money.
Whether the money was given by your uncle or his friend, we can't take it for nothing.
I thought that if I went to Linjiabu Village to get some needlework and come back to do it, I could make some money. ”
Hearing this, Chen Che silently put down the bowl in his hand.
He knew very well in his heart that his mother was not the kind of person who could gnaw on his younger brother with peace of mind.
In this world, the girl who marries out is the water that is spilled.
Even though her father Chen Zhao has not returned for 19 years, in the eyes of her mother, she is the daughter-in-law of the Chen family, and she and her uncle are two families.
Since it is two families, it has to be settled.
Thinking of this, Chen Che felt a little sour in his heart.
Nineteen years......
How many nineteen years are there in life?
He didn't know how his mother had waited so much.
At the same time, he also vaguely understood the obsession of the original owner of the body to find his father to ask for an explanation for his mother.
After pretending to ponder for a moment, he spoke: "You just stay at home, I'll go out later to see where I need to teach, and then I'll go to Linjia Buzhuang and bring some work back." ”
Without waiting for Wang Rou to speak, he continued: "I have to wait for a year for the next county exam, I am such an adult, I can't sit at home and eat nothing."
As for the splash, someone is staring at it, shouldn't I just try to avoid it?
We can't afford to provoke it, can't we hide it? ”
His words directly blocked all of Wang Rou's words.
Although Wang Rou was worried, she couldn't refute it.
……
After the meal, Chen Che put on a scholarly robe and left home, bringing with him not only the little silver he had left, but also the dagger left by his uncle.
After leaving the house, he went straight to the market near the inner city.
Although he had eaten breakfast, he was still feeling very hungry.
It's not that you're hungry, it's that every cell in your body is hungry.
He knew it was a desperate need for nutrition for physical growth.
……
Half an hour later, Chen Che came to the market near the inner city, that is, the one with the beggar's nest.
At this time, it is the morning market, and the streets are bustling with people, and various small stalls and vendors are scattered on both sides of the street.
Chen Che walked to a steamed bun shop.
In the steamed bun shop, the meat buns that had just come out of the cage were steaming hot, exuding bursts of meat fragrance, and he couldn't wait to rob them on the spot.
"Guest officer, do you want meat buns? The meat buns that have just come out of the cage are twenty yuan each. ”
The proprietress of the bun shop wearing an apron greeted Chen Che with a smile when she saw Chen Che looking like a starving ghost reincarnated.
"Bring me five."
Chen Che said as he took out a small piece of broken silver and handed it over.
"Okay!"
The proprietress took the broken silver and bit it, and after confirming that it was true, she wrapped five meat buns with lotus leaves and handed them to Chen Che.
Chen Che took the bun and left, and after walking more than ten meters, he couldn't wait to take out a meat bun and eat it fiercely.
"Hmm......"
The aroma of meat mixed with the aroma of rice noodles entered his abdomen with hot air, and Chen Che felt every cell in his body cheering, accompanied by an unprecedented sense of strength!
"Ahem!"
However, after a few light coughs, he reverted to a hungry state.
So, he continued to eat steamed buns.
After eating the buns, he bought meat pies again.
After eating the pie, he bought meat dumplings again.
Under the dual effect of the high-pressure state and the breathing method, he felt that his stomach directly turned into a fiery furnace, but whenever a little food entered it, it would melt and disappear immediately.
……
In half an hour, Chen Che walked from one end of the market to the other, and he spent more than one or two pieces of silver on it.
In the past, the Chen family spent so much money in a month normally.
And he spent it all this morning.
Of course, the silver was not spent in vain.
Compared to before he came, he not only felt that his strength had become much greater, but his body also felt a lot lighter.
"Although the Tuna method has not yet been completed, I should be stronger than ordinary people now."
Chen Che clenched his fists, secretly estimating in his heart.
I have to say that this devouring bottle is really powerful.
If there is enough meat to eat, and he can turn on the high-pressure state without limit, he feels that it only takes one day to make the Tuna method complete.
……
The excellent physical condition gave Chen Che full confidence.
After brewing his emotions, he took the last meatloaf and walked in the direction of the beggar's den, seemingly unintentionally.
The main purpose of his coming here today is to confirm Liu Agou's condition.
It's early market time, and it's a good time to beg, so there are very few people in the beggar's den.
Among them, there is a group of beggars gathered together, and at a glance, it is particularly conspicuous.
Chen Che's eyes narrowed.
Among the beggars was a young man, naked and scarred, with a bandage on his abdomen, leaning against the corner of the inner wall, munching on a roast chicken.
There was also a large jar of wine beside him, which looked very pleasant.
Several ragged beggars surrounded him, and all of them flowed to the ground.
"You bastard! Eat better than I can! ”
Chen Che scolded in his heart.
At the same time, the man seemed to feel something, suddenly put down the roast chicken in his hand, raised his head and looked in the direction where Chen Che was.
In an instant, the eyes of the two met together.
