Chapter 41: Lu Wei
Early the next morning, Ling Chen opened his hazy sleepy eyes, jumped down from the tree, and stretched his waist.
Now that there are less than two days left before the mercenary conference, Ling Chen must return to Lu Yu City to wait for the convergence of the green wolf.
But what bothered Ling Chen the most now was that he had nothing to cover at this moment because of the attack of the steel needle rainstorm, and his whole body was almost naked, if he was afraid that it would be difficult to enter Lu Yu City, he had to find a suitable piece of clothing before entering the city.
Now there are naturally few people on the edge of the wilderness, so Ling Chen used the skills he learned in hunting to weave a straw skirt and try to try his luck on the main road into the city.
Ling Chen walked a short distance towards the path of the process, and found several groups of mercenaries, but the entire mercenary clothes were uniform, and such clothes were not suitable for him.
Ling Chen continued to walk in the direction of entering the city for an hour or so, because he hadn't eaten breakfast earlier, his stomach had begun to drum slightly, and there happened to be a roadside inn in front of him, Ling Chen wanted to go over and ask for a steamed bun.
Originally, Ling Chen still had hundreds of taels of golden tickets on his body, but now the golden tickets have become as broken as his clothes, and he can't cash them out at all, Ling Chen is extremely worried, he has already caused a lot of trouble because of his dress, for fear that this store will speak ill of him because he is naked.
Ling Chen walked in and took a closer look at this inn, this is a very ordinary inn, the shop is not big, there are already two tables with guests on the four tables placed sporadically, and an old man is constantly busy on the simple stove surrounded by smoke.
A beautiful young woman kept shuttling between the guests and the stove, and Ling Chen guessed that the two were father and daughter based on their ages.
Ling Chen walked up to the busy old man nervously, looked at the white steamed buns on the steamer and couldn't help but swallow his saliva, because he was really hungry, to be precise, he hadn't eaten anything for nearly a day and a night.
"Old man, the kid has a little trouble on the road, and now he is penniless, and he has not eaten rice for a day and a night, and I don't know if the shopkeeper can give two steamed buns. Ling Chen came to the old man and bowed down and said sincerely, what Ling Chen said was also the truth, he was indeed such a wolf because he encountered difficulties on the road.
After Ling Chen finished speaking, a strange light flashed in his eyes, and his heart was very worried.
The old man who was originally smiling because he was busy looked at Ling Chen when he heard this, the smile on his face disappeared, he looked at Ling Chen carefully, and then showed a knowing smile, wrapped two big white steamed buns in tree paper and handed them to Ling Chen, and said with a smile: "Young man, sit there and eat." After speaking, he pointed to a table where no one was around.
Ling Chen's face suddenly became cold when he saw the old man's front, and he suddenly thought that the old man would drive him away, but now the old man directly wrapped it up and handed it to him, and let himself sit in the store, you must know that people like Ling Chen who are not dressed are usually not welcomed.
Ling Chen felt a warmth in his heart, there seemed to be tears in his eyes, he took the steamed buns handed by the old man with both hands, nodded gratefully, and sat down on the table that the old man pointed to.
After Ling Chen sat down, the busy girl stepped forward and poured a bowl of tea for Ling Chen, Ling Chen looked at the girl in front of him, although the girl in front of him was not graceful, but she exuded a pure atmosphere, she was an authentic farmer Xi Shi.
Ling Chen thanked and smiled at the girl, and the girl also smiled and nodded, and after pouring the tea, she went to serve tea to another table of guests.
The simplicity of this family really moved Ling Chen, the darkness of the mainland has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, but this team of father and daughter warmed Ling Chen, Ling Chen directly took a bite of the steamed bun, poured a sip of tea, and only felt the sweetness of his mouth.
"You want to burn Lao Tzu, right?"
When Ling Chen was about to eat the second steamed bun, an angry roar came from behind him, Ling Chen's eyebrows furrowed, and he turned back curiously.
I saw a big man scolding at the girl serving tea, and the girl was frightened and didn't dare to speak.
"Juan'er, what's the matter?" the old man hurriedly stopped what he was doing and hurried over.
Ling Chen saw that the big man with a rude face but gorgeously dressed directly said to the old man viciously: "Damn, Lao Tzu came to eat with you, and was almost burned to death by this girl, how do you say to compensate!"
Ling Chen looked at Dahan, and sure enough, the fluctuations of the Xuan power emitted by Dahan's body were the same as the fluctuations of the martial arts period, although the martial disciples were not really on the way to martial arts cultivation, but their bodies were definitely better than ordinary people, it was impossible to be scalded by this tea, and the clothes on her body must be noble people, how could she come to this kind of country inn.
Ling Chen secretly speculated in his heart that this big man was here to find fault, but now the situation is not clear, and the action is certain, he still wants to figure out the situation first, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.
Juan'er was yelled at by the fierce-faced man, and her tears came out in fright, trembling all over, and she said with horror in her eyes: "It was this guest who touched the quilt, and it was not me who knocked over the tea." “
Seeing his daughter like this, the old man no longer scolded with distress in his eyes, but smiled and apologized in a low voice: "This lord, the little girl is clumsy, and I hope that the uncle will forgive the sin, as compensation, this little meal is okay?"
The old man's tone was very sincere, he saw that the big man was dressed so gorgeously that he must be a person with a head and a face, he couldn't afford to provoke such a person, so he could only ask for forgiveness with the posture of a subordinate.
"This meal, please, this girl broke Lao Tzu's clothes, how can you compensate for these broken money?!" the big man roared directly when he heard the old man's mentions.
"That's... The small ones that will give you money are just that. Seeing the fierce face, the old man directly refused, so he could only sigh helplessly and agree to lose money.
"Okay! My clothes are a new product of Jinxiuzhuang, and the material is considered to be the best in the silkworm cloth, and it cost Lao Tzu one hundred and twenty taels of silver, so you can compensate me for twenty taels. The fierce-faced man patted the clothes on his body and said proudly.
"Twenty taels! It's too much! I don't have so much money..."The old man was taken aback at first when he heard this, and his tone was trembling, these twenty taels were astronomical to them, and when their small shop was doing good business, it was only a hundred copper dollars a day, and these twenty taels were simply the income of their father and daughter for two years!
"Look at it! This girl made my clothes like this, and they can't be cleaned in ordinary ways at all, so they can only let the master of the martial arts period use Xuan Li to shake them off without damaging the clothes! Let the strong man in the martial arts period make a move, twenty taels is very cheap!" The fierce-faced man pointed directly to a piece of the clothes that was wet with tea.
Ling Chen looked at the place pointed by the fierce-faced man, only the place the size of the mouth of the cup was soaked, Ling Chen saw this and wanted to step forward to help the father and daughter with Xuan Li, but he still felt that this matter was very strange, calmed down, and waited for things to develop.
"Hmph! no!" The fierce-faced man snorted coldly, with a cold expression on his face, and when he saw Juan'er, he smiled and touched his chin and said, "I look good at the girls, but if I sell it to Chunhua Pavilion, I can sell it for twenty taels." “
"Uncle, this can't be!" Hearing this, he hurriedly knelt on the ground and hugged the leg of the fierce-faced man and begged, the old man was already in his prime, and the father and daughter depended on each other, he would never send his daughter into the fire pit.
"Get out!" The fierce-faced man kept shaking his legs hard and wanted to break away from the old man, but the old man grabbed the big man's legs, and the expression on the big man's face became fierce and angry: "You old man, let go of your dirty hands, otherwise I'm welcome!"
After speaking, he directly hung his palm on the old man's head and made a gesture of patting.
Ling Chen's eyes froze when he saw this, he knew the grace of dripping water, the truth of reciprocating with springs, if the big man really dared to attack, he would definitely kill this big man with one blow!
"Yo! Isn't it just money, don't make a fuss at every turn. “
Just as Ling Chen was about to make a move to stop it, a voice sounded, and the fierce-faced man was stunned for a moment and withdrew his palm and looked in the direction of the sound.
Ling Chen saw a group of three people, standing in front of him was a young man, the young man had a handsome face, dressed in a gorgeous costume, holding a paper fan in his hand, and wearing a piece of mutton fat and jade on his waist, obviously a child of a wealthy family.
Ling Chen could feel that the young man's Xuan Power fluctuation was in the early stage of the martial artist, and the two guards behind him were both in the middle of the martial artist, and the guards of the martial artist stage followed him, Ling Chen already felt that this young man's identity was not ordinary.
"It turned out to be Young Master Lu! I don't know what Young Master Lu has to do. The fierce-faced man said with a smile on his face, completely free from the previous rampant.
He is the fourth young master of the Lu family, Lu Wei, the first family of Lu Yucheng.
"Money is a small thing, let me talk to him about it. After Lu Wei finished speaking, he didn't wait for the big man to answer, and asked directly at the old man with a lewd smile: "How about I pay a hundred taels to buy your daughter?"
"Young Master Lu, this can't be!" the old man hurriedly refused.
"Hey, look at your daughter who has soiled other people's clothes, and she has no money to pay, if this is to be accused of going to the government to be imprisoned, I am afraid that she will be old when she comes out;
"Yes, old man, why don't you sell your daughter to Young Master Lu, why not take the money. The fierce-faced man looked at Juan'er's delicate face, licked his lips, and echoed lewdly, he knew in his heart that when the boss had enough, he would usually cheapen their little brothers, and then he could torture this chick well.
Seeing this, Ling Chen suddenly came to his senses, now he knew that this qiē was all set up by Lu Wei, and this "Young Master Lu" was probably from the same family as Lu Hao, and it was indeed the same as what he thought in his heart, a nest of snakes and rats.
"Hmm....Young Master Lu, why don't you borrow the small twenty taels, and the small one will make you a cow and a horse. The old man thought for a moment, the expression on his face kept changing, and it was obvious that he had experienced a struggle in his heart.
"Ah Fang was deceived by you in this way, and died tragically within three days! I won't be with you even if I die!" Juan'er cried out heartbreakingly, her delicate face was already covered with tears.
"You little slut, Ben Shao has taken a fancy to you, it's a blessing for you like an inferior person! It seems that you are toasting and not eating and drinking! Bring it back to me directly! See how Ben Shao makes your life worse than death!" Lu Wei heard that Juan'er called herself a well-dressed beast, and immediately became angry and directly ordered to rob people, but felt that this was not enough to relieve his anger and let the two people behind him smash the store.
Juan'er couldn't cry at this time, like a tearful person, and saw two big men walking towards her with a lewd smile, looked deeply at the old father who fell to the ground, and hit a pillar directly. I1387
