Zhang Ran said curiously: "How did you find out that this is a poor festival." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "Some of the people in Dongwang Village have already put on rags, and now that it is dark, the red lanterns hung on every household illuminate the entire Dongwang Village so brightly, it is enough to see." ”

While the two were talking, they came to the only inn in Dongwang Village, Tongfu Inn.

Tongfu Inn has three kinds of guest rooms, the lower room is a large miscellaneous shop, more than 20 people live in it, the middle room is a small room of its own, and the upper room is a well-furnished room.

Zhang Pestle asked for a medium room, and Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle lived together.

The two of them were a little tired from the journey, so they just ate their meals in a hurry and lay down to sleep.

When the two got up again, it was noon the next day, and when they went downstairs, Zhang Pestle said: "Don't eat lunch, today is the Poverty Festival, you can only eat porridge, porridge is not very delicious, when you go out shopping, eat a small snack, it is not expensive, and you can eat something good." ”

Zhang Ran nodded happily.

Walking out of the inn, it was very lively outside, and the people on the whole street, but they were not well dressed, and everyone was dressed like a beggar.

Zhang Ran said: "Let's also change our clothes." ”

Zhang Pestle said: "No, we are not from this village and don't need to wear them, you see that there are people on the street who don't wear them, they are all from outside." ”

Zhang Ran said: "Dongwang Village is very exquisite. ”

Zhang Pestle said: "How can you attract so many people to Dongwang Village if you don't pay attention to it. Now that Zhang Pestle is talking to Zhang Ran, he treats Zhang Ran more and more like an equal identity, because every time he talks to Zhang Ran, Zhang Ran's behavior is not like a child at all, but like an adult, and gradually Zhang Pestle ignores Zhang Ran's identity as a child, and occasionally remembers that Zhang Ran is a child.

Zhang Ran and Zhang Pestle went shopping, and the streets were full of vendors, selling all kinds of things, including sugar cakes, apples, osmanthus wine, food, kites, furniture, ceramics, and so on.

As long as you meet Zhang Pestle to eat, buy some, when you come out, Wang Dafu sponsored fifty taels of silver, so Zhang Pestle is not short of money, the most important thing is that those things that are sold are not expensive, as long as a few copper plates can be bought.

I even saw that there was a stall selling roast chicken, Zhang Pestle bought two roast chickens, and nibbled them one by one.

The gnawing hands were full of oil, and the people on the street avoided them, greasy, for fear of rubbing on their bodies.

"Look at what's up ahead, there's someone breathing fire." Zhang Ran saw someone breathing fire for the first time,

There were a lot of people watching, Zhang Ran squeezed into the crowd and looked at the fire-breathing, this fire-breathing man, wearing a grimace mask, holding a trumpet-like thing in his left hand, spewed fire into the horn, and the fire erupted from the horn.

After the fire, there was a cheer.

Zhang Ran also shouted, after spraying fire a few times, followed the little girl of the firebreather, this firethrower performance is two people, one is the firethrower performing fire, and the other is an eleven or twelve-year-old girl.

The little girl took the tray and said: "Brothers, uncles, if you look good, give some money, if you have money, you can get a money field, and if you don't have money, you can just give a copper plate." As he spoke, he walked towards the crowd of onlookers with the tray, stretched the tray over, and asked for money.

Ding Lingdang's voice came, and the crowd gave money one after another, some with a copper plate, some with several copper plates, and the little girl smiled when she saw the money invested.

Bang.

Many people were attracted by this loud noise, and Zhang Ran also looked over, only to see that it was not far from the fire-breathing man's stall.

There were three people who smashed a man into the vendor's stall and made a bang, which was the sound of smashing the vendor's stall.

Then the other man got up and fought with the three of them.

Zhang Pestle said: "These three people are all martial artists in the realm of refining power, how can they openly fight on the street. ”

After five rounds, three people knocked this one person to the ground, and then three people escorted this one away.

Zhang Pestle said: "There is nothing to see, let's move on to other places." ”

The reason why Zhang Pestle stayed in Dongwang Village was because in the evening of the three days, there would be willows for cars, grass for boats, and there would be an activity.

It is also the last event of the Poor Festival.

This activity is a part of the competition, to determine the strongest, the strongest person drives the carriage away, puts down the boat and drifts away, which means that the strongest person in Dongwang Village has driven away the poor god.

Dongwang Village wants many people to participate in this event, firstly, to increase popularity, and secondly, to elect really strong people.

So there are benefits to participating in this competition.

There are two, one is to give silver, and every time the competition will give thirty taels of silver, which will not change every year, and the second is to give the strongest a weapon, which is different every year, today according to Zhang Pestle's inquiry, it is a knife, he plans to let Zhang Ran participate and win this knife, after all, Zhang Ran does not have a good weapon now, and winning this knife just gets a good weapon, after all, Dongwang Village will not find a weapon as a reward at will.

Zhang Pestle also told Zhang Ran what he meant, Zhang Ran had not been seriously beaten in this world, so he naturally agreed, except for the killing of Hutou Mountain, of course.

The crowd around gradually dispersed, Zhang Ran's eyes narrowed, he saw a silver light, he was particularly sensitive to silver, because silver is silver, walked to the smashed hawker stall, took out a middle finger-sized silver pillar from the broken wood, and carved a pattern of a general fighting on the silver pillar.

Zhang Ran saw the extraordinaryness of this silver pillar, and immediately put it away, and even the vendor who cleaned it up didn't see it, thinking that Zhang Ran had come to buy something: "Guest, everything is broken, you can buy it somewhere else." "This vendor sells tofu, and all the fruits have been smashed, if it weren't for the three people who lost his money, maybe he would have gone directly to the escort team to theorize.

Zhang Ran said: "I don't want to go shopping, I want to go back to rest, prepare for the third day of the competition, and I will definitely win a first place then." ”

Zhang pestle knocked on the melon seeds and said, "If you want to go back, go back, I'll go shopping again." ”

Zhang Pestle didn't see Zhang Ran get the silver pillar, just now he saw the four people fighting, Zhang Pestle went to buy melon seeds, and planned to watch while knocking melon seeds, but he didn't expect the four to end the battle so quickly, the melon seeds were bought back, but the fight was over and left.

Zhang Ran said: "Then I'll go back." After speaking, he took a small bag of melon seeds that Zhang Pestle bought, turned around and left.

Zhang Pestle looked at the empty hands, froze for a moment, and then said angrily: "This kid." Then I went shopping, it was not interesting to stay in Hulu Village, this time I met this kind of festival in Dongwang Village, how could he be worthy of himself if he didn't go shopping.

Zhang Ran did not go to the inn, but while walking, he changed his clothes, took off his Confucian robe, and saw a pawnshop at random, and used two copper plates, and then redeemed them after coming back in a while.

Zhang Ran walked in the direction of the four people, and soon Zhang Ran caught up and followed the four to a private house in the west of Dongwang Village.

Zhang Ran ran up to the roof of the house with a dash, lifted the thatch on the roof, and looked inside. There was no difference between it and the other houses, the only difference was that there were seven people inside, including the four who had just entered.

"Boss, you spare me, I don't dare anymore." The man who brought it back said.

He knew that Wang Ren was ruthless, it was fatal, so the moment he saw Wang Ren, he begged for mercy directly.

Wang Ren said: "Don't dare, then you can take out the silver key." ”

Wang Ren is wearing the clothes of the captain, the clothes of the captain are not the style of Daming clothes, but a more ancient style, wearing it gives people an alternative feeling, but it is very good-looking, Zhang Ran thought so.

"I'll take it now." Then he took out the money bag from his waist, but when he opened the money bag, there was nothing in it, and he looked at it, and found that there was a small hole under the bag, and the contents of it were peeking out of the small hole.

Immediately he panicked and said, "I put it in the money bag, the money bag was broken, and the silver key fell out." ”

He knew the importance of the silver key to Wang Ren, and he lost the silver key, and he shuddered when he thought about it.

It was also because the silver key was so important that he stole it out, intending to sell it for a good price, but it also meant his betrayal.

Zhang Ren asked with an impassive face, "Do you know where it fell?" ”

"It should have fallen from the place where I fought with Brother Li."

Zhang Ren said to the three of them, "You go and look for it." When the three heard this, they left. Then he looked at the man and said, "Pull him out and chop him up." One of them dragged him out, and he kept begging for mercy, but he pulled him out anyway, and then he screamed, and there was no sound.

Wang Ren said: "You don't have to come in, just guard outside." ”

This person stole the silver key, caught it and lost it, he didn't die, who died, if he found the silver key, he just punished him, but he lost it, which made Wang Ren angry.

Wang Ping said, "Yes, uncle." ”

Now there were only two people left in the room, one was Wang Ren and the other was a woman, wearing a green skirt and a burn on the left side of her face, which was very ugly.

Lan Niang said: "It's better for us to use the thunder of the Thunder Fire Hall to blow up the tomb door." "The ugly woman in the green dress is Lan Niang.

Wang Ren said: "No, the sound is too loud, it will alarm the people of Dongwang Village." ”

Lan Niang said: "There are no masters in Dongwang Village. ”

Wang Ren said: "Don't forget, it's the Poor Festival, in order to get the reward of the competition, there will be some martial artists coming, I'm afraid that there will be famous and decent martial artists coming to attract their attention, and it will not be good then." ”

"Those decent people will come here? You're holding them too high. Lan Niang said: "You still bombard with thunder, as long as the warriors who come I will stop it." ”

"Since you say so, then do as you say." It seems that Wang Ren is waiting for Lan Niang to say this, and when Lan Niang finished speaking, he immediately agreed.

Lan Niang also realized it, stared at Wang Ren with dangerous eyes and said, "You trick me." ”
