Chapter 482: Glory Returns
That's right, if it's a newly opened shop, even if it's cheap and attracts a lot of customers, plus the guy's kind words, and the residents are close, but it will definitely not be as harmonious and natural as these people in front of him, Ouyang Feng can see that the residents and the guys are not generally familiar, and even some are relatives, lovers and other relationships.
Ouyang Feng thought about it, if he didn't know the inside story, even if he came here, he wouldn't have found anything wrong here, let alone that this was the contact point of a certain force.
There are two guys in the store, one is busy greeting customers, and the other is a little surprised when he sees Ouyang Feng and Gail coming in, Ouyang Feng is nothing, he doesn't pay attention to what he wears, and he doesn't have any domineering spirit, but Gail is different, he has been in the position of the city lord for many years, even if he changes into ordinary clothes, but the temperament of the superior is difficult to hide.
The guy was stunned for a moment and then returned to normal, and said to the old woman beside him a little impatiently: "Mother, you go back first, I still have to greet guests." β
The old woman glanced at Ouyang Feng and Gail, and also felt very strange, because this small shop was basically a neighbor, and it was rare to see strangers.
The old woman didn't want to delay her son's work, so she smiled apologetically at Ouyang Feng and Gail, and then threatened her son viciously: "Change into clean clothes after work, the girl has been waiting for a long time, don't make excuses for me to run away again this time, otherwise you won't enter the house in the future." The man looked helpless, nodded perfunctorily and agreed, and the old woman saw that her son had no sincerity at all, so she could only sigh and leave.
The guy walked up to Ouyang Feng and Gail with a smile and said, "Two guests, what do you want to buy?"
Ouyang Feng smiled and said, "What's the matter, don't you want to get married so early?"
The guy was stunned. Then he said embarrassedly: "I'm still young." When I have my own career, I'm thinking about getting married. β
Ouyang Feng pouted and said, "You don't have a crush on others, do you?"
The man's face flushed. Stretched out his head to look at the door, and saw that his mother had gone away, so he said with confidence: "Don't mention it, my mother said that when I introduced the girl to me, I was so happy, and I also bought new clothes, but when I went home that day, I accidentally saw the woman, and I was almost scared to death at that time." I ran away quickly, spent the night in the store, and had nightmares. We're not the kind of people who judge people by their appearance, but it's pretty much the same, you say, how do you feel if you look at a woman with a face full of acne, a big mouth, and a beard? Alas, it's not that I don't want to get married. It's that woman who is so violent, I can't afford it. β
Just when the guy was gushing. The curtain of the inner room was opened, and a middle-aged man who was nearly half a hundred years old walked out, and said to the man angrily: "Are you sick again? The guy smiled timidly at the middle-aged man, and then hurriedly introduced the goods in the store to Ouyang Feng and Gail.
Ouyang Feng thought this chatter guy was very interesting, and he picked a few things casually with Gail, and then led the guy to the counter to check out. The middle-aged shopkeeper didn't understand his look, but he was suspicious of Gail and Ouyang Feng in his heart, especially when he saw that the two big men actually bought things that women would only use when they washed clothes and cleaned, they were even more vigilant.
Ouyang Feng didn't know what he bought, and he didn't listen to the guy's introduction, he just bought it because he thought it was novel, took out his money bag and asked, "How much are these?"
The shopkeeper did the math and said, "Twenty-three copper coins." β
Ouyang Feng sighed, and then asked in surprise, "How much do you say?"
The guy thought that Ouyang Feng was too expensive, and hurriedly explained: "A total of twenty-three copper coins, guests, you can rest assured, our things here are the lowest prices in the city, and we will never ask you for an extra copper coin, if you don't believe it, you can go to other stores to inquire, if it is expensive, we can refund the money." β
Ouyang Feng didn't think it was expensive, but for so long, he spent almost all of his money in gold coins, and occasionally it involved silver coins, but the merchants either wiped out or Ouyang Feng made up more rounding, so he hadn't used copper coins for a long time.
Ouyang Feng looked at Gail with an embarrassed face and said, "Brother, do you have any change?"
Gail shrugged his shoulders and said with an embarrassed expression: "I don't have the habit of bringing money, especially when I come out with a big sum of money like you, do I still need to spend money?" Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and groped in the money bag for a while, let alone copper coins, not even silver coins, all of them were gold coins.
Ouyang Feng took out a gold coin and threw it on the counter and said, "I don't have any change, just use this to find it." β
The shopkeeper couldn't help frowning when he saw the gold coins on the counter, this grocery store is a small business, and there is no gold coin in a day's running water, and it can be opened to find change, but it is very troublesome.
The shopkeeper was about to say something, but found that Ouyang Feng was playing with an extremely familiar brand in his hand, the shopkeeper squinted his eyes, glanced at Ouyang Feng, who was smiling, and said with a faint smile: "The change at the counter is not enough, otherwise, the two guests will wait with me for a while, and I will change the change for you." β
Ouyang Feng shrugged indifferently, took the things he bought and the gold coins and followed the shopkeeper into the back room.
Seeing that the shopkeeper really wanted to change change for these two weird guys, the guy scratched his head and looked inexplicable, for a moment, as if he had thought of something again, his face became a little nervous and looked around, and saw that no one noticed here, so he was slightly relieved.
Another guy saw off the guest, patted the young guy on the shoulder and said, "Don't be nervous, relax, or someone will see the flaw." The young man nodded, and pretended to whistle to sort out the goods, but the movements looked a little stiff and unnatural.
Ouyang Feng and Gail came to the back room, and the shopkeeper did not look for change, but said to Ouyang Feng: "This guest, the sign you held in your hand just now is very interesting, I wonder if you can let me see it?"
Ouyang Feng handed the sign to the shopkeeper indifferently, and then said, "I want to know if the Fire Dragon Senior is still here." β
The shopkeeper glanced at the sign, didn't find anything wrong, then looked at Ouyang Feng and Gail and said, "Fire Dragon senior, are you talking about the former city lord, right?" I heard that he had left a long time ago, and some people said that he was dead, and I don't know the specifics. β
Ouyang Feng rolled his eyes and said, "This uncle, you have also seen the brand, why are you still going around in circles with me? Do you think we seem to be here to find fault? We are friends of the predecessors of the fire dragon, my name is Ouyang Feng, I don't know if you have heard of it." β
The shopkeeper was obviously stunned when he heard Ouyang Feng's name, and then he returned to normal, and said with a smile: "I really don't know what you're talking about. β
Gail said impatiently, "Brother, you don't have anything else to prove your identity?" I can see that he won't let go if you don't show some solid proof. β
Ouyang Feng thought for a while, and took out a magic weapon flying sword with the Orion Alliance mark from the storage ring, as well as a letter, which was left to him by the Fire Dragon True Man when he first rescued the Fire Dragon True Person.
The shopkeeper didn't pick up the flying sword, but opened the letter and looked at it, and then smiled apologetically and said: "Please don't mind, we must be vigilant enough, two seniors, please come with me, this is not the place to talk." β
Follow the shopkeeper to a secret room on the second floor, the shopkeeper first saluted Ouyang Feng and Gail, invited the two to sit down, and then opened the dark room on the wall, took out a letter from it and handed it to Ouyang Feng and said: "This is left by the Fire Dragon City Lord to the seniors, I was going to send it to you the day before yesterday, but something happened in the city in the past two days, so it was delayed, since the seniors are here, I just handed it over to you." β
Ouyang Feng took the letter and asked in surprise: "For me?" The shopkeeper knew that this sentence was just Ouyang Feng's self-talk, so he didn't go back, and was busy pouring tea for Gail and Ouyang Feng.
Ouyang Feng opened the sealed letter and read it for a while, then handed the letter to Gail, picked up the tea and took a sip, and fell into deep thought. Huolong Zhenren didn't say anything in the letter, but just told Ouyang Feng that he was sent to the middle of the Hengduan Mountain Range to carry out a mission, so that he could go there to find him if he had something, and also reminded Ouyang Feng that Li Mu seemed to have taken action, so Ouyang Feng should be careful.
Gail returned the letter to Ouyang Feng, but because the shopkeeper was still present, he didn't say anything.
Ouyang Feng exchanged a few words with the shopkeeper, and then got up with Gail to say goodbye, and the shopkeeper apologized that he couldn't send them away in person, but Ouyang Feng and Gail didn't care.
Leaving the shop, Ouyang Feng said with some concern: "The fire dragon senior has been transferred, what is Li Mu going to play?"
Gail hesitated for a moment and said, "It shouldn't be able to play yin, otherwise he won't split the fire dragon real person." Ouyang Feng and Gail didn't have any leisure to go shopping, they analyzed Li Mu's intentions all the way, and it didn't take long to return to the inn.
After discussion, Yaheng and Angelo also agreed with Gail's statement, with Gale there, Ouyang Feng was not worried about what Li Mu was playing, so this matter was quickly forgotten.
At dinner, Ouyang Feng asked for a lot of delicious food and set up a few tables in the room, everyone hasn't eaten well these days, which can be regarded as improving the food.
Because we had to travel the next day, we didn't drink much, and we went to bed early after eating.
Early the next morning, Hongsheng, Penny and other female dependents took the carriage that the guards had bought last night and left the city, while the others rode horses and went all the way south along the old trade road to Ulder City, where they prepared to turn southwest and return to Ula City.
Because I was not in a hurry and was not in a hurry, it took five days from Hengshan City to Jushi City, and I rested in Boulder City for another night, and then continued on the road.
After walking for another six days, the group came to Demon Cloud City and arrived at Angelo's territory. Angelo entertained Ouyang Feng and the others in the City Lord's Mansion, and the next day, Ouyang Feng and the others returned to Ula City in several batches of TongguΓ² teleportation arrays.
