Chapter 175: The Creditor Comes to the Door
From Daliang to Nanshui County, it can be said that it is thousands of miles away, the road is far away, and the speed of the mission can almost be described as turtle speed, so after walking slowly and leisurely for three days, Shao Xi really felt too bored.
After discussing with Lao Wuyi, he had already left Daliang anyway, and the saint also said that he could go separately to do his own private affairs halfway, and it would be almost the same one day earlier and one day later anyway, so he would simply leave the mission now, and hurry up by himself, so as not to waste time.
Shao Xi's deputy on this mission was Xu Maocheng in Zuo Shilang of Shangshu Province, so he explained to him and asked him to continue with the mission, and he and Lao Wu left first.
Before leaving, Xu Maocheng had already learned that he might lead the mission to Nanshui County halfway, so he didn't feel anything wrong, but only indicated that the mission would wait for Shao Xi to go after arriving in Nanshui County, otherwise the mission would not enter the territory of Nanzhao.
The affairs of the mission were taken care of, and Shao Xi just said hello and left alone with Lao Wu, heading all the way to Yuzhou.
Previously, Lao Wu heard that the little nun of Jingci'an was now living in Yujiang County, Yuzhou, so the purpose of the two's trip was to go to Yujiang County in the south of the Yangtze River. However, halfway through Shao Xi planned to turn a corner, the direction that originally went southeast is now facing southwest, Shao Xi is planning to take a trip to Wulong Mountain first, and return the people's book, after all, they have been lost for ten years, and those old bull-nosed people are afraid that they will not be crazy.
The boundary of Wulong Mountain is still in Yuanzhou, so it will not take much time to rush over, and it will only take more than three days from separating from the mission to rushing to the boundary of Wulong Mountain. Fortunately, Shao Xi and Lao Wu traveled lightly, otherwise they would not have been able to walk for another seven or eight days according to the speed of the mission, and it was not in one direction, and they would not have to go to Wulong Mountain with such a large group of people and horses.
Along the way, Lao Wu muttered, and he could see that he was very frightened about going to Wulong Mountain. This is understandable, after all, he stole the treasure of the town religion from there at the beginning, and left a note for others, and now even if he doesn't give him a big disassembly, it is estimated that he will be beaten with a broken hand and foot.
"Why didn't you think about today when you took other people's things? Why didn't you think about the present when you left a note for someone? What's going on here? ”
Lao Wu's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said with a stiff neck: "Who am I for?" I'm not here for you, am I? If you want to cultivate martial arts, of course I have to find the best mental method cheats in the world for you, and now that you have learned the mental method, you actually pretend to be a good person and carry me to make amends to others, you are not a typical person who is full of food and scolds the cook, and is so sick that you beat Langzhong? ”
Shao Xi was robbed by Lao Wu, and he didn't know how to respond to him for a while. People are right, isn't it for themselves that they have caused such a big disaster? Now it's a matter of course to help him wipe his butt by himself, Shao Xi is depressed in his heart!
"I don't know if Wulongshan often teaches those bull-nosed veterans to talk well? More than ten years have passed since this incident, and I hope they are also relieved! When I turned back to Taichang Jiao, old guy, don't be stubborn, honestly admit your mistake to others, after all, this matter is not right for us in the first place, and it is not good to take advantage of others and quarrel with others. I said, did you listen to me, old fellow? ”
Seeing that Lao Wu was sitting on horseback and still looking lazy and drinking wine, Shao Xi was angry, and he was about to be spanked, and he still looked like he was eating and waiting to die.
"Got it! Got it! Those guys can't do anything to me, they can't catch me. Don't look at the internal strength, if you compare it to the way to get up, in front of me, they are all as stupid as old hens holding nests. ”
"Oops, I'll go! You can't die if you don't brag? I didn't know who was going to Wulong Mountain when I heard that I was going to Wulong Mountain, and I was scared like a mouse and wanted to dig a hole into it? Now the cowhide is blowing! ”
Lao Wu glanced at Shao Xi with his eyelids down, and said with a nonchalant expression: "I'm afraid that you won't be able to go down the mountain, and stealing martial arts from other sects is a big taboo in martial arts." I just stole other people's cheats, but the person who learns the heart method is you, and when the time comes, people are afraid that the heart law cheats will be spread, and they will not detain you on the mountain, and you won't be able to see your Miss Mei at that time! ”
When Lao Wu said this, Shao Xi also started to play drums a little in his heart. No way! This old guy is too bad, isn't he? If people really don't give up, it's really troublesome! It seems that we can only take one step at a time, and I hope that the group of old goodbyes is too difficult to speak.
The old man and the young came to the realm of Wulong Mountain with their own hearts along the way.
At the foot of Wulong Mountain, there is such a small town called Panlong Town, I think it is borrowed from the fame of Wulong Mountain, although the town is not big, but there are many characters from various factions of martial arts who come and go.
Shao Xi and the others planned to settle down in this town for the time being, find an inn to live in, and go up the mountain to visit early tomorrow morning, so they came to an inn that didn't even have a name to stay, because the inn was too small, and after booking a room, the two had to go out to find some food.
Although this town is nominally called a town, it is actually very small, there are not many people, and there are not many people doing business here, not even a decent restaurant. In desperation, the two had to find a casual wine shop and order two pots of locally produced soju plus two catties of mutton.
The two of them had been on the road for a few days, but they were hungry and panicked, and at this time, the old and young people didn't care about the wine and food, and grabbed it without humility. Two pots of wine and two plates of meat were eaten by them, which attracted the attention of others.
"Xiao Er, two more pots of wine, and two catties of mutton." Lao Wu picked his teeth and shouted to the only shopkeeper in the wine shop.
"Damn, are you a starving ghost reincarnated? Where did you spend all the money I gave you? Isn't it enough for you to eat? ”
Lao Wu said indifferently: "I will use all the money you gave me to make new clothes for Ning'er, buy delicious and fun, and buy some wine and drink on my own on weekdays." ”
Shao Xi said unhappily: "I will naturally buy Ning'er what she needs, and the silver you give you is for you to spend your spare money, why do you tighten your belt and buy Ning'er this and that?" ”
Lao Wu waved his hand, "That's different, what you buy is what you buy, what I buy is what I buy, you are his brother, and I am his grandfather." Leave as much of something as you can for her while I'm still not dead, you kid don't worry about it now, at least you don't have to rely on turtledoves to support yourself for the rest of your life. ”
Shao Xi's heart was sour when he heard this, the old guy in front of him watched him grow up, how old he grew, how many years he took care of himself. Now that life is a little better, he is still saving money to take care of Ning'er's girl, it seems that he still hasn't done enough, or he is too negligent, and he cares too little about this little old man.
"Lao Wu, what you want to eat in the future, what good wine you want to drink, just tell me, no matter how much silver you spend, I will buy it for you, I won't stop you from buying anything for Ning'er, but if you don't have any money, you have to tell me, don't save your own money, we don't have no money now, we don't need you to save it."
Lao Wu was happy when he heard this, and said with a relieved face: "Okay, I haven't hurt you in vain for so many years, it's enough to have your words." I know that you can make money with your current ability, but I'm old, and I don't have any luxury except for a small drink, and your money is saved for future big things. ”
These words reminded Shao Xi of her deceased mother, who also said the same thing as Lao Wu back then, but she just wanted to save more money for herself, afraid that she would suffer when no one around her took care of her in the future, what is this? This is family affection! It's the kind of care and love that is engraved in the bones.
Looking at Lao Wu, who was crazily stuffing mutton and shochu in his mouth, Shao Xi suddenly found that he was much older.
The little old man who was funny with himself on the grassland back then, now his hair and beard are much whiter, and his body is a lot more rickety, but he hasn't paid attention to getting along with him every day and night all these years, and he has now restarted a life, and who will help him restart Lao Wu's life?
Thinking of this, Shao Xi turned his head and shouted to the shopkeeper, "Xiao Er, two more catties of mutton, two pots of soju, pack and take away." ”
Listen to that shopkeeper, good guy! Today, the guests at this table sold three tables of wine and food, so they naturally responded with joy.
Lao Wu stuffed his mouth full of mutton, looked up and glared at Shao Xi, with a puzzled expression.
Finally swallowed the mouthful of mutton and asked, "Little rabbit, do you want to kill me?" Even if I cost you an extra penny, you don't need to take revenge on me like this, do you? ”
Shao Xi was stunned by Lao Wu's sudden suddenness, and it took a while to react.
"I'm rubbing! Do you know what's going on, old thing? I asked the store to pack it up and keep it for you to have a supper in the evening, and you actually said that I would take revenge on you! It's really a dog biting Lu Dongbin, and he doesn't know the hearts of good people. ”
When Lao Wu heard this, he immediately buried his whole face in the mutton plate again.
He said vaguely, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding!" Young man! Misunderstand. ”
Looking at his old shameless appearance, Shao Xi couldn't cry or laugh, it was such an unobtrusive old guy who made him where he is today.
"Well, it's not bad to admit mistakes! I hope that after going up the mountain tomorrow, you can also have this attitude, and talk to others to round this matter over, and it can be regarded as a piece of heart disease. ”
The cups and plates on the table were empty again, and Lao Wu was half-lying on the chair with his legs crossed, touching his stomach with his hands, looking satisfied.
"That's different! Don't be ashamed to admit your mistakes to your family! I still want to save face for the old men outside, if they talk too much and do too much, I won't bird them, old man. ”
"Yo! You see what you can, what else will you do but run? ”
"If you can run, you have the ability to let them chase me! They couldn't catch up with me back then, and now they can't catch up with me either. ”
Shao Xi was really a little speechless at this old guy, and shook his head helplessly.
While the two were talking without saying a word, they suddenly heard a commotion outside the wine shop.
"How dare a bold fanatic be so presumptuous at the foot of Wulong Mountain, don't you know that this is the realm of Taichang Sect?"
"It's been lost for ten years, do you still think that you are too often taught as the first sect in martial arts? Today we are going to teach you disciples who are too often taught at the foot of Wulong Mountain. ”
When Shao Xi and Lao Wu heard it, they taught their disciples too often?
Good guys, the creditor just arrived?
