Chapter 43: Eating a roadside stall
"Seventh Elder, I am responsible for the affairs of Teng'er, but we must take a long-term view against the Hua family who has the status of the city lord. Let's go, let's go back and talk. ”
Wu Qingyun hugged the Seventh Elder, who had stabilized his emotions but was still silent, and stepped back.
Wang Yan, who was on the run, if he knew Wu Qingyun's thoughts, he might not have to run around in a big circle, and it took three full days to return to Huadu City.
On a July day, the sun was shining, Wang Yan took off his straw hat, took off his black robe, and wiped the sweat on his forehead.
In the past three days, in order to hide people's eyes, he wrapped himself tightly, and even his own breath was only released when he arrived here, it can be said that he could suffocate him both in the weather and physically.
There is no way, after experiencing the interception of the martial arts, Wang Yan also understands that his sixth sense cannot know the existence of the formation in advance, at least not at present.
Looking at the scene of people coming and going at the city gate, as well as the guards wearing silver bright armor at the gate, Wang Yan still felt a little like he had escaped death at the moment.
If the martial arts family had left the masters of the Jindan period to intercept him at the beginning, perhaps he would never have come back this time.
Wang Yan passed by the guards, with one hand in his pocket and the other waving in greeting.
As a celebrity in Huadu City, these guards naturally knew him, but he had a bad reputation, so when Wang Yan greeted them, they all made the action that they didn't know and didn't see Wang Yan, and out of sight was clear.
Especially when he smelled the smell of sweat on Wang Yan's body, he unconsciously took three steps back. If it weren't for Wang Yan's identity, he would have scolded him a long time ago.
Wang Yan naturally didn't care, and walked into the city with his hands in his pockets.
Wang Yan took a deep breath and went, "It's good to go home!" ”
However, when he saw that the passers-by were holding their noses and running away, he sniffed his body and almost didn't throw it up, so he was embarrassed to continue walking slowly and trotted home.
To be honest, in terms of cleaning himself, he was still quite envious of the cultivators, after the true qi turned from head to toe, the clothes on his body were clean and comfortable.
……
Their Wang family, as the largest family outside the Hua family in Huadu City, has an excellent relationship between the two families, so their family's compound is not far from the City Lord's Mansion.
Coming to the gate of the compound, Wang Yan looked at the high-rise city lord's mansion not far away, "I don't know if this girl is still there?" ”
However, to Wang Yan's surprise, as soon as he returned to the inner hall, he saw Hua Lingmo talking to his mother, and Xiaofang standing aside.
Seeing Wang Yan coming back, the three of them stood up excitedly, but when they got closer, the mother, who had always been enthusiastic, directly pinched her nose and instructed Xiao Fang on the side to help Wang Yan prepare bath water.
Hua Lingmo didn't show too uncomfortable expression, and wanted to give Wang Yan a big hug, but she was still pulled aside by Ye Lingshan.
Wang Yan knew that his body smelled bad at this time, so he didn't say anything and went to the inner room to change his clothes and clean up.
……
"Girl, congratulations."
At this moment, Wang Yan and Hua Lingmo were already strolling around Nanhua Street, the most prosperous main street in the city.
Back in the city, there was no potential pressure brought by the martial arts, nor the hardship and loneliness of training, Wang Yan was in a much more comfortable mood at this moment.
If Hua Lingmo hadn't come, he would have been on the road for three days, and he would have already gone into the bed to recuperate.
But Hua Lingmo came to him in person, looking at her expression, this girl must have been because he hadn't rested well during this time, so he didn't have a reminder from his mother this time, so he took the initiative to invite Hua Lingmo to come out and walk.
Seeing that her son was so active this time, Ye Lingshan actually smiled and secretly gave Wang Yan a thumbs up.
Seeing his mother's expression of frowning, Wang Yan's head was big for a while, this mother was not serious, where did she want to go.
"Brother Yan, I told my father about being able to enter the Jade Maiden Sect this time, although he didn't believe it, but he still promised me that you can mention any reward you want. I'll help you when I get back. ”
Hua Lingmo suddenly accelerated and walked in front of Wang Yan, and said to Wang Yan expectantly as she stepped back.
Wang Yan looked at the lively and lovely Hua Lingmo, he didn't think about asking for any reward for helping her, so he naturally replied no.
"Then what's the matter, Brother Yan, if you don't dare to speak, then I'll help you myself, and I won't let you down, hehe."
Hua Lingmo returned to Wang Yan's side and jumped up and down, saying that there was no city lord's daughter who should have a dignified appearance outside.
Wang Yan didn't open his mouth to stop him this time, nor did he say anything, but when he saw the vendor selling sorbets on the side of the road, he took out ten yuan to buy two sorbets, one for himself, no, for himself, and one for Hua Lingmo.
The life circle of ordinary people in this world is actually the same as Wang Yan's previous life, and the transactions between cultivators are spirit stones or other equivalent things, but ordinary people are still mainly gold and silver.
"Girl, don't think so much, it's right to help you, just relax yourself when you come out today, don't talk about anything else."
took the sorbet handed over by Wang Yan, Hua Lingmo also quieted down and took a small bite to eat.
Because of Wang Yan's relationship, Hua Lingmo has become a snack in the past few years, and there are some flavors of children in the rivers and lakes.
Of course, because of this, she also has a good image of being beautiful, kind, and approachable among the people in the city.
In this world, strength and power are supreme things, as a lady, come and go in a hurry, rarely stay on the street for an extra second, even if you buy food on the street, you will quickly take it to a place where no one eats it because of the problem of face.
In the past, Hua Lingmo was also influenced by this kind of education at home, but since she met Wang Yan, she was led astray by Wang Yan, and because of this, Hua Lingmo felt that she was much freer, and the liberation of her heart also benefited her a lot in her cultivation, so once she went out, she would learn Wang Yan to let go of herself, regardless of her status as the city lord.
Of course, because of this, after Hua Lingmo's father saw it, he would directly lock her up for a few days every time, and she was not allowed to go out, and he also educated Wang Yan several times to keep him away from his daughter.
"Master, help us grill twenty skewers of barbecue. That's sixty cents. ”
"Okay, Young Master Wang, Young Master Hua, you wait a minute, after roasting theirs, I will roast yours."
The barbecue stall owner who got the money immediately replied happily.
"Boss, no, our last roast is fine, we can't let the young master wait."
Wang Yan and Hua Lingmo didn't refuse, after all, their identities were placed here, but if the other party didn't let them, they would wait.
And Wang Yan is also a regular customer of this stall owner, so he said those words that seemed to disrespect the powerful.
As ordinary people, they were also afraid of Wang Yan at first, especially Hua Lingmo, but they found that these two people did not have the shelves of those powerful people, so they slowly got used to it.
Of course, how could those powerful people come here to eat roadside stalls?
Wang Yan's reputation for not being able to cultivate is mostly used as a joke for entertainment among the cultivators, and as ordinary people, as long as they are not those ordinary people who have been driven out by the Xiuzhen family to do business, their goal is to survive in such an environment, who will have time to care if you can cultivate or not, not to mention that it will offend the Wang family.
Moreover, Wang Yan and Hua Lingmo will take care of their business every time they come, so they hope that they will come more.
"Come, Young Master Wang, Young Master Hua, thank you for taking care of my business, and give you ten more strings."
"Thank you!"
After Wang Yan thanked him without pretentiousness, he took the skewers and took the flower foam to the shade of the tree on the side to eat.
After all, Hua Lingmo is a girl, and her squatting appearance is quite elegant. Wang Yan sat directly on the stone steps with one thigh.
Maybe it was uncomfortable to squat, Hua Lingmo also learned from Wang Yan to brush the pink dress and sit on her legs.
