Chapter 127: The Giant's Rib Tavern
In the early morning of the next day, the young man wanted to take Xiaobai straight to the black street, but at the gate he met the little Xuannu who sneaked out of Shichan.
At the strong request of the little Xuannu, the young man had to agree to take her with him. However, in a place like Black Street, with such a porcelain-like little Lori is really not ordinarily conspicuous. The boy had to take out a black cloak from the ring and cover her, and the group of three left the Wanjin Chamber of Commerce on foot.
In order to be able to wander around to his heart's content, the young man did not bring the domestic servants arranged for him by Shichan, but inquired about the location of the black street from the domestic servants in advance, searched for it himself, bypassed a few streets and finally found the famous black wooden paddle street!
Unlike the dark and remote imagination of the boys, this black wooden paddle street is very spacious, with simple and exquisite architecture, with ancient monuments and new buildings. The streets are bustling with people, and travelers from all over the world are dressed in a variety of strange costumes, pointing and looking around the streets.
Many of the Red Mansions and Taverns were already filled with all sorts of land creatures bolted in front of their doors, and a few screams and collisions could be heard from time to time. It's still early, but many people haven't returned through the night or have been staying here for days.
Walking on the black street, you can see all kinds of hot dancing girls and courtesans, thin shirts and wide collars, jade feet and plain waists, or prostrate, or standing, or dressing up, or waving customers.
No matter where you come from or what you look like, as long as you have enough money in your hand, you can immediately put up a list and have fun with whoever you like. Generally, people who go upstairs will be hooked off by the song and swallow dance of the warbler, and the strings and jade beads. If you don't spend all the money on your body, you don't know how to leave.
There are poems: The bright colors are alluring, and the warm fragrance is more affectionate. The hair hangs down, and the eyebrows can be light. The dance is chaotic and the body is ashamed, and the song is turned over the night sound. The spring breeze is shining, and you are waiting to welcome it with a smile.
How many swingers are rich and powerful, and how many princes, nobles, local tyrants and inferior gentry are planted in this gentle township and forget to return. When I came, I wore gold and silver, a heavy package, and when I left, I only left a green shirt, and I didn't know that I was in vain. Hypocritical.
Of course. There are also many people who have no intention of indulging the gentle and crispy fragrance, and go to the dark street just to get drunk.
Because here you will find all kinds of pubs, wines from all over the world. There are people in groups. Sing to the wine. There are also people who drink alone. Terrified. However, the result is that they are drunk into a puddle of mud, and the phenomenon of drinking and fighting abounds.
These taverns are a mix of fish and dragons, and most of them are bandits and robbers. Many travelers wake up from alcohol and are surprised to find that they are lying on the street at some point, and they have already been visited by thieves and become penniless.
In short, on this black wooden paddle street where the surface is full of flowers and singing and dancing, no matter how strong your martial arts are, as long as you are a little careless, you will be destitute at best, and you will become a ghost under the skirt.
The little Xuannu lowered her head and blushed all the way, pulling the sleeves of the young man and walking briskly, she finally knew the reason why Shichan didn't let her come to the black street. When it comes to murderous scheming, the little Xuannu does not lose to anyone, but she has never tried this kind of thing for men and women in the world.
The little Xuannu fought in the lower realm repeatedly, first by the wind and rain, and then by the hundreds of millions of years of closure, when have you ever seen such a scene? Looking at those fragrant limbs and jade bodies that were half-concealed intentionally or unintentionally, listening to the sweet words that hooked the soul, somehow, she felt her cheeks flush and her head was hot, and she couldn't help but pull the young man to speed up.
And the young man feasted his eyes, blinking his dark eyes, enjoying the beauty of this world, beckoning and smiling to those beauties from time to time. Such a handsome and pretty young man, although there is still a little green between his eyebrows, but his figure is tall and heroic, which attracts the attention of many women upstairs, and his voice is even more delicate.
The little Xuannu suddenly had a big head, twisted the young man fiercely, pulled his sleeve and dragged it away. The young man had to look at the women upstairs with a smile, and made a helpless gesture with his hands, which caused the dancers and courtesans upstairs to laugh.
Xiaobai wagged her tail and followed behind the two, she was not surprised by this kind of scene. Because she was taught the art of coquettishness in the clan since she was a child, she has seen much more seduction of men than here. In her eyes, this was just some vulgar skill, and it was not comparable to the charm of the Nine-Tails clan at all.
Xiao Bai, who has been staring at the young man, can see that although her master is laughing and playing to his heart's content, he has always maintained a vigilant and sober mind. This couldn't help but make her breathe a sigh of relief, because if she couldn't resist this temptation, then it would be dangerous to meet her people in the future.
Turning a street corner, a rugged building appeared in front of the young man's party, with a wide boulder door beam, a boulder wall, and a huge rib hanging under the eaves. In addition, on both sides of the oak gate, there were some prisoners' detainees, and several drunken men were locked in the detainees, snoring, and falling asleep.
This is exactly what the old man and the others call the Giant's Rib Tavern!
The architecture, furnishings and utensils of this tavern are so primitive that it is said that its first owner once hunted a cyclops alone, and the huge rib under the eaves was left by the cyclops, hence the name of the tavern.
Due to the eccentric temper of its first officer, the Giant's Rib Tavern has had some special rules from the first day of its opening to the present, such as not bringing weapons into the tavern, not using spirit images, not using metal containers, etc.
If the bartender finds out that someone has violated the rules, that person will be taken to the door and detained for half an hour. The forbidden power left by the owner of the tavern was very strong, and someone once tried to resist after being found out about violating the rules, but was beaten into a pig's head by the magic circle in the tavern and locked at the door.
Of course, more people are willing to automatically comply with these unwritten rules, because in addition to these rules, they can enjoy the rum brewed at the Giant's Rib Tavern. And from time to time, seeing some people noisily being caught out of the door has also become a kind of fun for drinkers.
Yang Rui, Xiao Xuannu and Xiao Bai stood in front of the door of the tavern, looking up at a tall and sturdy bartender. And the bartender was also looking at the two of them, and with his ability to recognize people, he knew at a glance that these two were not yet adults.
"Kid, this is not where you came from, go away!" said the bartender with a fierce look on his face, bowing his head to the boy and the little girl.
"Why, you still have a rule that only adults are allowed in this tavern?" said the boy with a grin, disapproving. Before coming here, he also inquired a little, and knew that there were a lot of rules in this tavern.
"This is not ......" The bartender scratched his head and was asked, and said that this young man was very good-mouthed, and asked back, "This is the place to drink, do you drink?"
"Don't worry about this, just let it go!" said the young man, leading the little Xuannu and Xiaobai into the oak gate.
"Wait! Weapons and crystal balls are not allowed in the shop, and if there are any, put them down now, lest you suffer later!" the bartender shouted helplessly.
The boy waved his hand, signaling that he had no weapons and items on him, and walked in without looking back. Actually, he had a dagger and the blade in the ring in his hand, but he didn't plan to show it in the tavern, so he didn't plan to put it down.
The little lady thought about it, turned around and walked back to the bartender, handed over the broom in her hand, and said seriously: "Then you can help me keep it, but there must be a branch missing!"
"Ahem......" The bartender was almost amused by the little porcelain baby, waved his hand and said with a smile: "This broom is not a weapon, you can go in!"
Walking through the oak gate, the young men found that the passage inside the door was actually leading underground, and on both sides of the passage was a bumpy primitive stone wall, and the stone wall was inserted with torches, illuminating the stone path below.
At this time, several more passengers walked into the gate, passed the young men, laughed and laughed, and walked straight down the passage. Seeing this, the young man and the little Xuannu immediately followed. They hadn't gone far, turning a corner, and a spacious cellar appeared before them.
Unlike the scene on the street, the light here is slightly dim, and the smell of sweat and alcohol fills the air. There was a lot of people, warm torches were lit everywhere, and long and square tables were lined with candles and appetizers in clay pots, which were not very bright, but they were just enough to illuminate the drunken faces that were spitting and drinking.
Suddenly, there was a burst of laughter and the sound of harps, and it turned out to be two artists from a foreign land, holding strange musical instruments in their hands, playing music for the drinkers. The drinkers were drunk, dancing to the music.
A few bartenders weaved through the crowd, holding glasses of rum and meals with their drinks, and not a single drop was spilled in the narrow passage between the tables. Obviously, all of these people are not weak in martial arts.
As soon as they entered the wine cellar, the young man felt several strange eyes focused on them!
Looking around without hesitation, the boy found that the source of these gazes was indeed some people he did not know. There are old men smoking dry tobacco pouches, there are big men drinking wine, there are thin figures standing against the wall, and there are fishermen and sailors with meaty faces, but there is no shadow of the old man scorpion.
As soon as the suspicious drinkers touched the young man's sight, they immediately turned their heads to look around, or lowered their heads to drink. Only the fisherman with a meaty face stared at the boy with an unkind face, smiling, and didn't know what he was doing.
Suddenly, the boy felt his arms tighten, and without warning, someone grabbed them from behind, flashed behind a pillar, and stuffed them into the seat of an empty table in the corner!
"You stupid country boy, looking around the halls will only get you in trouble!"
At this moment, the boy heard the familiar voice, grinned, and looked at the two figures in black cloaks who had just sat down beside him.
There weren't many people who could grab them from behind without him and the little Xuannu noticing. And at the same time, the person who will warn himself to be careful, the boy can only think of one person.
The two of them lifted their cloaks, and sure enough, it was the sloppy old man with a plump posture and a beard like a halberd, and the nine elders of the undead race with dry skin and an indifferent expression!
(After all, I don't know what's going on in the tavern, and I'll listen to the next breakdown.) (To be continued......)
