Chapter 5 Transactions

The unique aroma of white noodle soup cakes and the smell of vegetable oil have already filled the whole room, and when they are served on the table, the white soup cakes are steaming, and the milky white noodle soup is floating with some green onions and vegetable leaves, whether it looks or smells, it is so gluttonous.

The four of them have not been willing to eat white noodles for more than two months.

But everyone still didn't eat it in their mouths.

Hearing the movement outside, Rhubarb rushed out first, barking as he ran.

Chen Le stopped Rhubarb and walked out of the thatched house.

Liu Heng was settling accounts in the house, and he hadn't served the table yet, so he was the last one to come out.

A strange-looking man was standing outside the low wooden fence, smiling at a few young men who didn't seem to be old enough to reach adulthood.

said that he looked strange, but in fact, it was mainly because at first glance, it would make people think that this person was a little ugly.

But if you look closely, you will see that he is actually very beautiful.

He seems to be a Taoist, wearing a high long crown, a red face, two eyebrows that are connected and go straight into the temples, thin eyes, a broad nose, and an extremely beautiful long hair under the chin.

He was tall, nine feet tall, and he was wearing a moon-white robe, extremely neat and clean, the fabric of which his brothers and sisters could not recognize, only knew that it must be very expensive, but he only used an ordinary-looking straw rope to tie his waist.

There is a huge gourd hanging from his waist.

In short, he is a person who is not strange everywhere in his body.

Years of being a beggar, and the experience of almost being trafficked several times, made the brothers and sisters naturally full of vigilance against outsiders and strange-looking people.

And this person just spoke, obviously with a foreign accent.

Chen Le stopped Rhubarb, looked at this Taoist cautiously, and asked him, "Who is Your Excellency?"

At this time, Liu Heng just walked out of the house, the person seemed to have known him for a long time, he saw him at a glance, raised his hand with a smile and pointed at Liu Heng, and answered the question: "I want to find him!"

Liu Heng used honorifics and asked: "Where does Mr. know the villain? I don't know what to do with the villain?"

The man stroked his long hair with his hand and said proudly: "Among the four people, you alone have a rare anger and gangsterism, since I came to you, of course I have inquired about your affairs and recognized you, it is not difficult." โ€

As he spoke, he actually raised his hand and pushed open the courtyard door.

Rhubarb suddenly fell to the ground, bared his teeth, and whined in an attacking gesture.

The door is firewood, only waist-high, and has no defensive effect, but the owner does not invite him to enter the door without permission, which is like theft.

"Rhubarb!"

Liu Heng called it, but it was still baring its teeth, and its front body fell to the ground, making a low whining sound.

The man glanced at Rhubarb in surprise and said with a smile, "Good dog meat!"

asked Liu Heng, "Can this dog be sold?"

Chen Le was immediately furious, "Don't sell it!"

Liu Heng raised his hand to stop Chen Le, and inadvertently glanced down at the man's feet.

Under the gorgeous moon-white robe, this person was only wearing a pair of straw sandals, and the thumb of his right foot was stubbornly arching out of the shoe, standing proudly.

Liu Heng bowed his head and arched his hand, "Mr. is joking." This is a family dog and is not for sale. If Mr. wants to eat dog meat, there is a dog meat restaurant in Ono Castle, and the villain is willing to show Mr. the way. โ€

When the man heard this, he suddenly said, "Can I go in?"

Liu Heng lowered his head, frowned slightly, and asked instead of answering: "Mr. hasn't made it clear yet, the villain doesn't remember when he was lucky enough to meet Mr., I don't know why Mr. knew the villain, and he came to the door on purpose?"

The man's eyebrows were twisted, as if he was talking to others, and as if talking to himself, he said: "It's a lonely temper, no wonder you dare to go down to the wild to fish." โ€

When Liu Heng heard this, he looked up at him in surprise.

But I heard him suddenly say: "I just cooked soup cakes at home, but I'm hungry, can I borrow a bowl to talk?"

Liu Heng was stunned for a moment when he heard this, but he only hesitated for a moment, and then said with a smile: "It's a guest from afar, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, please come in." โ€

Without hesitation, the man stepped in.

didn't seem to care at all about the threat of rhubarb and the ferocity in Chen Le's eyes.

The man walked straight to the main room as if no one was around.

In the low and simple thatched house, a wooden board with uneven nails was laid on the clay platform, and four bowls of soup cakes and four pairs of chopsticks had been arranged.

A circle encloses four smooth-ground wooden stumps.

As soon as the man sat down, he picked up his chopsticks and began to eat, not too hot at all.

Snort, it's a bowl in the blink of an eye.

By the time Liu Heng, Chen Le, Sanya, and Liu Zhang entered the house later, he had already picked up the third bowl.

The brothers and sisters were dumbfounded.

In the blink of an eye, four bowls of soup cakes were down, and the man turned his back to the people at the door, hiccuped comfortably, and said with a smile: "Good soup cakes, good soup cakes!

This is a bowl of white noodle soup cakes that brothers and sisters have been hungry for more than two months!

Xiao Liu Zhang's eyes were a little red at that time - he hadn't eaten a bite.

Liu Heng turned his head and glared at Chen Le.

Chen Le opened his mouth and didn't dare to speak.

Although the man turned his back to everyone, Liu Heng still bowed his head and bowed his hand, with an extremely respectful attitude, "Mr. has eaten well, how many bowls are there in the kitchen, but do you want to get it for Mr.?"

The man burst out laughing.

After laughing, he waved his hand and said, "That's it, that's it! If you eat again, this deal will not be negotiated!"

With that, he got up and turned around.

His long crown was almost up to the roof.

"I heard that this Onozawa is hundreds of miles away, and they don't dare to go into the water to fish because they are afraid of the monsters in Nazawa, but you are the only one who has been fishing in that Onozawa for three years, but you can always avoid that monster, but it's not?"

Liu Heng's heart sank when he heard this.

"Sir, I'm joking! How can the villain be so powerful and able to avoid that monster? To put it bluntly, it's just that people are poor and brave and are not afraid of death, but they have just walked the road of good luck for a few years, and they haven't bumped into it!"

Speaking of this, he smiled and said very sincerely: "Mr. Bu said that the villain has been fishing for three years, has a slight surplus, and has already spared his life, and is ready to stop fishing in the water and find some other work to make a living." โ€

When the man heard this, he suddenly laughed again.

After laughing, he suddenly burst into a shout, "Slippery head!"

This loud shout, like spring thunder on the tongue, only shook the thatch on the roof, and there was a sound.

Chen Le and the others all subconsciously raised their hands to cover their ears, and looked at that person in amazementโ€”they had never seen such a loud person in their lives.

Liu Heng alone bowed deeply again, arched his hand, and said, "The villain doesn't dare." What I just said is the truth. โ€

The Daoist suddenly lowered his head, his eyes forced to look at Liu Heng, and he spoke softly, but it implied a stir, "The snake demon in this big wild field is a disaster, and the people in this radius of hundreds of miles dare not go into the water to take advantage of the fish and turtles, this Daoist passed by here, intending to remove this harm for the people, are you willing to help guide the way?"

Liu Heng's head was lowered even deeper.

"Mr. is virtuous, if you can get rid of this demon for the people, the villain will be the gentleman for a hundred miles, and the surrounding people should set up a shrine for the gentleman. It's just that the monster is in Zeli, but how can you lead the way?"

When the man heard this, he suddenly narrowed his eyes, and his long hair was windless.

His tone was full of justice, "Liu Heng, such a major matter to eliminate harm for the people, are you really unwilling to help the Dao people?"

Liu Heng smiled and said, "Villain...... Neither incompetent, nor dare. โ€

The Taoist narrowed his eyes when he heard this.

After a pause, he reluctantly turned around and sat down.

"I've been wandering around the water's edge for a few days, and I think that the snake demon is not an ordinary monster, and my cultivation is not shallow, so if I want to take it, I have to use some ingenuity. For example......" he looked at Liu Heng, "If there is a local guide who is familiar with its habits, and sneaks to its lair with its own people, so that the people of this way can suddenly sneak attack, it will be safe." โ€

Liu Heng smiled and shook his head, "The villain really doesn't dare." โ€

After a pause, he said again: "If you are not careful, the gentleman can endure the sky, or he can escape with his whole body, but the villain will inevitably be buried in the belly of the snake." โ€

The man was sitting, but he suddenly forced his gaze, and the tall crown almost touched Liu Heng's brow.

He said, "Kill the snake demon, I will take the snake pill, and you will take the snake meat, how about it?"

Liu Heng smiled again, "Villain...... Afraid. โ€

"Are you afraid of death?"

Liu Heng grinned, "People who seem to be not afraid of death are actually more afraid of death than anyone else." โ€

The man suddenly sat up straight, pursed his lips, and stroked his long hair with his hand, and after a moment, he nodded, "This is a good word, and it is also the truth!"

Suddenly, he said, "How about I hire you for ten gold knife coins to run this way?"

Liu Heng's eyes lit up when he heard this.

The sword currency is common in the Eastern Qi Kingdom, and this person seems to have come from the Eastern Qi Kingdom.

But that's not the point, the point is that the value of the knife coin is huge. Even if it is a copper knife, one is enough to pay more than 20 copper coins of the Yunhan Empire.

Daye City is located at the junction of the Eastern Qi Kingdom and the Yunhan Empire, such as the copper coins of the Yunhan Empire, the knife coins of the Eastern Qi Kingdom, and the baht coins of the Southern Chen Kingdom, all of which are common in the local area, Liu Heng often walks in the market, so he knows the value of the knife coins.

Not to mention ten gold knife coins!

He hadn't seen the color of gold in years!

However...... No one knows better than him the dangers of Ohnozawa!

After hesitating for a moment, he suddenly spoke, "Twenty gold sword coins!"

That Dao man didn't seem to have much concept of money, or maybe he was very wealthy, so he didn't care, and at this time he just hesitated a little, and then said briskly: "Okay!

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and grabbed it into the void, and suddenly ten golden knife coins appeared in his palmโ€”he slapped the money next to the rice bowl, and said, "This is a deposit! I still need to prepare some things before I can make a move, and it will be three days later, and in the morning of three days, I will come to you!"

With that, he said nothing more, and immediately stood up straight.

Chen Le and the others had just listened to the conversation between the two, and they were already a little stupid, but at this moment, they were shocked by a golden knife coin captured by the person's void, and they subconsciously dodged and opened the door.

Liu Heng suddenly blocked the narrow door, and arched his hand: "Sir, you haven't given the money for the soup cake yet." โ€

The man was stunned, "Soup cake money?"

Liu Heng raised his head and smiled, "One bowl of gold knife coins, you have eaten a total of four bowls." โ€
