Chapter 140: The Little Thief
Chinese Jiang Yu rested under the tree for a while, took a lot of medicine, and was able to walk. But mobility is still impossible. Jiang Yu simply hid with Ling Ruoxue and buried them in the snow forest. At this time, it was early autumn, and there was actually no snow in the burial snow forest, and it was still full of green and full of life.
Sleeping in the wilderness, the two of them didn't feel bored at all, they gathered wild fruits together, hunted hares, talked about swords, and were very happy, so the two of them stayed in the wilderness for two or three days, Jiang Yu was almost recovered, and he knew that he should go on the road.
Although he made an appointment with Ling Ruoxue to study in the world, Jiang Yu didn't know where to go for the first stop. Looking at the burial of the snow forest, Jiang Yu thought of Xiao Ruo, and said in his heart that he hadn't seen her for a long time since he left Luoxue City to go to Mingyutan, and he missed her very much. Thinking of this, Jiang Yu said that he was going to see an old man, but Ling Ruoxue said that everything Jiang Yu decided.
Just go, Jiang Yu could have taken the crane with Ling Ruoxue all the way, but he didn't. Because it is fast to go by crane, but in this case, there is no point in coming out. After all, Jiang Yu hoped that Ling Ruoxue could see more of the world outside Ling Xiaofeng. Therefore, not long after Jiang Yu and Ling Ruoxue left Tianfeng City, he bought a carriage in a small town he was passing by, and the two of them sat in the carriage and traveled all the way to Falling Snow City, which was hundreds of miles away.
Walking to the head of the third day, a city appeared in front of him, not Falling Snow City, but Shi'an City between Falling Snow City and Tianfeng City. Shi'an City is said to be a city, but it is not as big as Tianfeng City, in terms of scale, it is just a town, and the number of people in the town is just 10,000. Jiang Yu had never been here, although he had also traveled from Tianfeng City to Falling Snow City before, but the carriage was on the post road, and he was on the mountain road that took a shortcut, so naturally it was not the same.
Although Shi'an City is smaller than Tianfeng City, it is much richer than Tianfeng City, and after entering Shi'an City, Jiang Yu found that there was something wrong with this Shi'an City. The streets were full of people, and when his carriage got here, it couldn't move at all. On both sides of the street, there are people who set up stalls everywhere, buying everything, shouting, shouting, one after another, and it is very lively.
"Young master, it's going on the Tianyuan Festival here, it's very lively!" the hired coachman explained to Jiang Yu.
"Tianyuan Festival?Is it already Tianyuan Festival?" Jiang Yu calculated, and sure enough, it was Tianyuan Festival. The Tianyuan Festival is the White Moon Country, to be precise, it is a festival that only exists in the twelve northern cities of the White Moon Country. A long time ago, on the Snow Man Continent, there was a very powerful martial artist, and that was the Tianyuan Layman. When he was alive, there were countless stories about him, and legend has it that after he died, he became the god in charge of the entire snow-covered continent. The Twelve Cities in the North, the place with the most wind and snow, naturally has special respect for him, so there will be festivals related to him. Generally, the Teen Festival is celebrated for at least three days, and at this time, those merchants in the south, and even those in other countries, will deliberately come north to do business.
Seeing that the surroundings were so lively, Jiang Yu asked the coachman to drive the carriage to rest by himself, and he took Ling Ruoxue to walk through the lively street market.
"Ruoxue, this is delicious, this is a specialty of the north, and this ......" Jiang Yu bought all kinds of snacks while walking, eating happily by himself, and did not forget to share them with Ling Ruoxue.
Although both of them have experienced countless bloody storms, in the final analysis, they are still teenagers, and they are soon immersed in the festive atmosphere here. Unbeknownst to them, they were already being targeted.
Jiang Yu took Ling Ruoxue in front of a mask stall to choose a fun mask, and when he was choosing, Jiang Yu suddenly felt that his waist was empty, and he was immediately alert, and saw that an eleven or twelve-year-old boy actually stole the money bag from his waist. Although the money was just pocket money for Jiang Yu, it was stolen by thieves, how could he bear it. immediately turned around to chase the thief, and when Ling Ruoxue saw Jiang Yu leaving, she followed closely behind.
Although there are many people in the market, the thief is also very cunning, and he runs to places with many people, but how can he escape from Jiang Yu's field of vision. was soon blocked by Jiang Yu in a dead end.
"Boy, return the money bag to me!" Jiang Yu blocked the mouth of the alley and stretched out his hand to the thief. He looked at the thief carefully, and saw that the thief was dressed in tatters and barefoot. The exposed parts of the skin are blue and purple in many places. There was a lot of dirt on his face, and under his unkempt hair, his nervous eyes were staring at Jiang Yu.
Seeing Jiang Yu asking for the money bag, the desperate thief instead took Jiang Yu's money bag directly into his arms, chewed the grass stick in his mouth, chewed it three times and spit it on the side, and after shouting, he swung his fist and hit Jiang Yu directly.
A person like this thief who doesn't know any martial arts at all and doesn't have the slightest cultivation can hurt Jiang Yu, that's a joke. Before he could get closer, Jiang Yu shook him aside with a flick of the sleeves of his robe. Jiang Yu didn't use much force, because Jiang Yu didn't want to hurt him, let alone kill him. Because this boy just wants to survive.
Jiang Yu also had a time when he was at the end of the day, and he said in his heart that he didn't embark on this young man's path because he was blind, and because he had Xiao Ruo by his side. If it weren't for that, I'm afraid it's hard to imagine what I'm like now.
After the young man was shaken down, he quickly jumped up again and attacked Jiang Yu again, Jiang Yu saw this, knew that this fight was endless, so he simply started a little heavier, kicked the young man to the ground, and took out his money bag in his arms. After looking at it, he said to the young man, "I can give you the money, don't do such a thing in the future." After Jiang Yu said this, he threw the money directly on the ground and turned to leave. Just after he left, he didn't take a few steps, he heard a swish in his ear, and something was thrown over, Jiang Yu didn't reply, he directly caught it with his hand, and it turned out that the young man actually threw the money bag back.
"Master, I don't want you to be pitiful!" came the young man's voice behind him. Jiang Yu turned around and saw that the young man had actually gotten up again, looking at him angrily.
"Boy, a bit of a backbone. Jiang Yu put the money directly into his arms, and said in his heart that this kid has a lot of temper. At this moment, Ling Ruoxue happened to follow.
"What's wrong?" Ling Ruoxue didn't know that Jiang Yu had encountered a thief, because in her dictionary, there was no concept of a thief.
"It's okay, let's go. Jiang Yu smiled and continued to play with Ling Ruoxue. The child looked at Jiang Yu's back, bit his lip fiercely, and stomped his foot again. He didn't hate Jiang Yu, but hated himself for being useless.
However, how ruthless this thief was, and said Jiang Yu, Jiang Yu took Ling Ruoxue to continue shopping. After playing for a long time, it was almost time to eat, Jiang Yu found a nearby restaurant, took Ling Ruoxue to a window on the first floor, and ordered a large table of food.
Jiang Yu had actually eaten almost full of snacks before, but he knew that Ling Ruoxue hadn't eaten much. Moreover, Ling Ruoxue has been devastated by Ling Suhan for a long time, and it is estimated that she has never eaten anything good. Here, it's a good meal.
Jiang Yu basically didn't eat much, and the rest of the time was just to appreciate the beauty and eat. Ling Ruoxue has the appearance that a beautiful woman should have, Si Swenwen, without saying a word. Jiang Yu could see that she liked the food here very much.
Jiang Yu looked at it, and inadvertently, his gaze turned to the menus on the wall. Those wooden menus nailed to the wall, when Jiang Yu ordered them, he didn't look at the price at all, but now when he looks at it, he is stunned.
It's not that the menu is too expensive, it's that the price is ridiculously low. Even Jiang Yu, a person who is not very familiar with firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, knows that this price is obviously a loss, and it is a serious loss.
"Is there a big sale on the holiday...... Jiang Yu thought so, but quickly denied it, because although the wooden board was quite far away from him, he could see clearly that the handwriting on the wooden board menu was not new, indicating that it was not the price of the Tianyuan Festival.
Jiang Yu was curious, seeing that Ling Ruoxue was still going to eat for a while, he stood up and talked to Xiao Er, who was wiping the table on the side.
"The price?, I can't do it for a few days anyway!" Xiao Er, who wiped the table, said a little angrily after hearing Jiang Yu's question.
"I can't do it for a few days, but I think business is pretty good. Jiang Yu turned his eyes and found that although the restaurant was not full, at least half of the tables were full of people.
"That is, Tianyuan Festival is a bit of business, where are there people in normal times. The owner said that it would be closed after the Tianyuan Festival. The little two looked around and said helplessly.
"This ......" Jiang Yuxin said that the restaurant is not remote, it is also in the middle of the city, and there seem to be no other competitors around. The price of wine and rice is still so low, there is no reason why business is not good. He was even more puzzled in his heart, so he asked the question in his heart directly.
"No matter how low the price is, it can't compare to the money-free ones. The little two sighed and said.
"Don't want money, and don't want money?" Jiang Yu felt fresh when he heard it. After Xiao Er's explanation, Jiang Yu understood what was going on. It turned out that in this Shi'an City, a wealthy family surnamed Yang moved in a year ago, and the Yang family almost chartered most of the restaurants in Shi'an City, which were open to people to eat and drink for free.
"There is such a thing......" Jiang Yu felt a little strange in his heart when he heard this, and felt that there seemed to be something wrong. But what was wrong, he suddenly couldn't remember.
At this time, I heard someone outside the window: "The Yang family is doing unsightly business." Jiang Yu looked sideways, and saw a boy in tattered clothes standing at the window, and if he looked closely, it was the thief who stole his money before. Seeing this little thief, Jiang Yu's heart moved, and he said that he was really stupid, the little thief he had just met just now had forgotten about it for a while. If, according to what Xiao Er said, it is really open to everyone to eat and drink for free, then how can there be such a thief in this place who is unclothed and looks like a beggar.
As soon as he saw a man almost dressed in beggar's clothes, standing in front of the window of his restaurant, he immediately walked to the window in three steps and two steps, and said, "Where did you come from, stinky beggar, get out of here!"
Jiang Yu stopped the little two, looked at the boy outside the window, and asked, "Do you know anything?"
The little thief looked at Jiang Yu, then at the big table of food beside Jiang Yu, swallowed his saliva, and said loudly: "I'm hungry!"
"It's simple, just come in and eat!" Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to greet him, and when the boy saw this, he jumped in directly through the window, although the little second looked at him and didn't like it, but he didn't dare to provoke Jiang Yu. Just because Jiang Yu and Ling Ruoxue were dressed at this time, they were very rich.
