Chapter Twenty-Three: The Silver Is Gone
When he was far enough away from Forgotten Worry City, after some careful induction, the old man made sure that the Star Moon Sect Sect Master did not chase after him, so he slowed down the trend of rushing forward and found a place where no one was around.
Ergou may have been a little dizzy after landing because he flew in the sky for the first time, and he couldn't stand on the ground staggeringly, but he still couldn't stop the excitement in his heart.
"Old man, so handsome, too handsome! I must become a master!"
The old man looked at the excited Jiang Ergou with some relief, if he had known that the impact of the Qi Flight on Ergou was so great, he would have stopped hiding it.
"Hahaha! Then you have to wait to endure the hardships! When the time comes, you will suffer, but don't give up!"
"Old man, in order to become a master, I am not afraid of anything. ”
"Okay, okay, don't talk about those who have it now, wake up the little Yuyu on the ground. ”
Ergou looked at Su Ruyu, who was sleeping soundly, and didn't rush to wake him up, after all, he had just fainted, and he was carried around the sky again, so let him rest at this time! Otherwise, he would have had a nervous breakdown.
Two hours had passed, and the old man had gone from sitting idle, to shaking his head and drowsy, to not waking up now.
And Ergou may have been stimulated by the strength of a first-class master, and it was very rare for these two hours to sit cross-legged on the ground and run his sword technique that had been put down for a long time.
Su Ruyu on the ground may have slept long enough, so she woke up in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she looked at Jiang Ergou sitting cross-legged.
Ergou is only the strength of the seventh grade, and the internal force can hardly be released. Therefore, when Su Ruyu looked over, he seemed to be sleeping cross-legged.
"Ergou, what are you doing here? Sleeping cross-legged, aren't your legs sore?"
Hearing Su Ruyu's voice, Ergou slowly opened his eyes.
"What are you talking about? Lao Tzu is practicing. Later, Lao Tzu has become a first-class master, see if I don't beat you into a pig's head. ”
When Su Ruyu heard Ergou's words, she thought that Ergou's confusion had been committed again.
"Ergou, can we not daydream? Why don't you become a first-class master?
Speaking of this, Su Ruyu glanced around, but didn't find any good references, only saw an old man sleeping on the ground.
"Don't say anything else, at least this old man is also a master!"
Before, when the old man and the Great Elder Xiao Qi of the Xingyue Sect started fighting, Su Ruyu had already fainted, and when the old man flew in the sky with him and the second dog, he couldn't wake up, which can be said to be the perfect time to avoid the old man showing his strength.
Ergou had already guessed that he would point to the old man who was asleep, and he also understood that he didn't know the truth, so he hit the snake with the rod.
"Okay, let's say it! If this old man can become a first-class master, you can believe that I can also become a first-class master!"
In this regard, Su Ruyu crossed her hands on her hips and behaved very unconvinced, always feeling that this matter was absolutely impossible.
"Yes, I said it! If such an old man with crooked melons and cracked dates is a first-class master, then this one-grade master is too worthless!"
"Hahaha, Su Ruyu! My son Su! Xiao Yuyu! You don't know this, you know who ran out with us! It's this old man! He's really a master!"
"What!! this old man is a good product? I don't believe it, I don't believe it when I am killed. ”
Looking at Su Ruyu's jaw dropping, Ergou was very satisfied.
"It's useless if you don't believe it! Let me ask you, do you know how strong the Xingyue Sect is! If there is no support from a first-class master, just rely on our brothers to break into the human sect and peek at the young sect master taking a bath, can you let us go so easily?"
"Then I'd rather believe that it was the master of the road who saved us. ”
"But the truth is right in front of you! Xiao Yuyu, don't struggle, just like you said, if any one passing by is a first-class master, then this product is too worthless!"
Then, Jiang Ergou told him what happened after Su Ruyu fainted, of course, there were naturally all kinds of oil and vinegar in the middle.
Obviously, it was the old man who restrained Elder Xiao Qi, but the two dogs were tied, and they also depicted a fight scene that was dark and dark, and the sun and moon were dark.
Then, when the old man finally had a slight upper hand, the other party killed a first-grade realm sect master, and the old man was somewhat unable to catch one enemy and two enemies, so he had to run away with them.
And then there is, people obviously only chased out a short distance, but in the mouth of the second dog, everyone is endless, and the old man took a lot of effort to escape.
On a whim, Ergou also said at the end that before they escaped, the old man had a fight with the sect master, and he was injured, so where did he breathe!
In the end, Ergou did not forget to remind Su Ruyu: In the future, whoever meets the Xingyue Sect will run as far as he can! Now, they have a great hatred with each other.
In fact, looking at Ergou's eloquence, it is really condescending not to write a novel or be a storyteller!
Ergou's words startled Su Ruyu, who had just woken up, and became suspicious of whether the old man was a first-class master.
"Ergou, according to what you say, that old man is really a master?"
I saw that the second dog suddenly raised his neck.
"It's like a fake!"
What Su Ruyu couldn't see the most was Ergou's arrogant appearance, so she glanced at him with her eyes.
"Hmph, let me tell you, don't get complacent too early, even if this old man is really a first-class master, I don't believe you can become a first-class master!"
"Hey, you don't count again!"
"What's the use of what I said, I said that if you can become a first-class master, you can become a master?
Over there, the old man, who had already woken up, saw that this conversation was coming to an end, so he stopped pretending to be asleep and eavesdropping, and pretended to stretch his waist and open his eyes.
Su Ruyu, who was originally arguing with Jiang Ergou, looked at the old man who woke up and stopped pestering Ergou, trotted to the old man's side in a few steps, looked left at him, and looked right, his mouth was still full of broken thoughts.
"Si, it's not like it, it's not like it!
Of course, the old man who knew what he was saying didn't mean was what he meant. So he slapped him on the head unceremoniously.
"Your grandmother's, old man, I don't look like Yipin, who is like you?"
After speaking, he slapped him on the head again, causing the second dog who was watching the play to laugh.
"What are you laughing at? Didn't you say you were? Can you say yes very well? I also had a fight with the sect master of the Xingyue Sect, why don't you say that I am alone in fighting all the first-class masters in the world? Grandma's, I used to be a rabbit cub, but now I am two, how do you want my old man to live! Grandma's, Lao Tzu is hungry, you two can't get up to find a place to eat!"
...
On the official road to Qingzhou City, there is a simple hotel built of thatch for pedestrians to rest on the side of the road, and there are only two people greeting the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper.
In fact, although the hotel is dilapidated, because there are too many pedestrians passing by, the only place within a radius of ten miles where you can rest is very busy.
But even so, the shopkeeper is still reluctant to hire an extra shopkeeper, preferring to be busy himself, but also to save the money that is only a few cents of silver per month.
The three of them walked all the way, not knowing the surrounding situation, and they were hungry for several hours before they found this small shop along the official road.
"Xiao Er, don't care about the rest, you can serve whatever you want, you can serve whatever wine you have, and a few big bowls of rice, the silver is not bad!"
Su Ruyu hadn't stepped into the hotel yet, but the weak voice had already come in, coupled with the difficult steps because he was too hungry, it was not difficult to see that he was about to starve to death.
"Okay, the three guest officers are in a hurry, please inside! I'll let the chef in the back cut a line for the three of them, and serve your dishes first!"
This shopkeeper also has a bit of eyesight. Seeing the current son-in-law, both in dress and temperament, he was outstanding, and he knew that a big family had come, so in order to be able to get an extra dozen or twenty copper plates at the end of the month, he worked hard to show himself.
Sure enough, within two minutes, the table of the three began to serve, and since Su Ruyu said that it would be served casually, the shopkeeper really served nine dishes to the three of them, which was still the most expensive nine dishes.
It's not that the second child in this shop doesn't want to serve a few more dishes and take a few more copper plates, it's just that no matter how these three people can eat, they will eat these, and then they will continue to eat, and in the end, they should be thrown away.
The shopkeeper himself is usually a cropper, so he naturally feels very sorry for the food that has been dug out of the field with a lot of hard work, so he would rather take a few copper plates less than waste food.
The three people at the table didn't wait for the dishes to be served, and they began to eat and drink wildly, without restraint.
I don't know if it's because I've been hungry for too long or because the three of them have exaggerated expressions, which makes the shopkeeper who was watching from the side a little annoyed: Why don't you serve a few more dishes? According to the appearance of the three of them, I'm afraid that fifteen dishes can be eaten and wiped clean!
The three of them came quickly and ate faster, and they drank the pot of wine as tea, only taking a sip when they were choking, and a large table of food was eaten clean by the three of them.
"Three, looking at you like this, do you want to do it again?"
The shopkeeper found a suitable opportunity and stepped forward to ask, and some wanted to recover his losses.
"Enough, enough, it's already very supportive, I was too hungry just now to pay attention, I ate too much at once!
As soon as the second dog finished speaking, he burped, which disappointed the shopkeeper. But disappointment is disappointment, and the words still have to be continued.
"That's... Three, this is going to be checked?"
"yes, though, check out for him!"
Ergou pointed to Su Ruyu, who was sitting opposite, probably the shopkeeper also expected that it should be this boy who checked out, so he set his eyes on Su Ruyu.
"Hehe, this son, the small shop has small profits and quick turnover, and it is only one or two or three dollars of silver in total. ”
Su Ruyu nodded, didn't speak, just put her hand into her clothes.
But after a long time, he dug left and right, but he didn't see the silver.
In the end, he could only smile awkwardly at the shopkeeper. pulled Jiang Ergou and whispered in his ear.
"It's broken, Ergou, the money is lost!"
Hearing that the money had fallen, Ergou was also anxious, this is the net worth of three people!
"I'm going... Where did you leave it?"
"How do I know where I lost it, it probably landed in the garden of the young sect master of the Star Moon Sect. ”
"That's... So what now?
Ergou secretly glanced at the shopkeeper and knew that it was impossible to evade the order this time.
"How do I know! Anyway, you masters and apprentices really didn't bring a penny with you when you walked the rivers and lakes?"
Besides, the old man and I have been living in the mountains before, where did we get the money!"
The shopkeeper knew what was going on when he saw this, and his wise eyes had already seen through everything.
"I mean, you won't run out of money!"
"How could it be, how could it be! It's just, brother, you see that we have eaten so much, do you want to give us a discount!"
At the critical moment, Ergou stood up and gritted his teeth to speak.
"You just tell me how much money you have left!"
The shopkeeper probably has seen too many tricks like this, and he knows at a glance what their idea is.
"That's all. ”
Hearing the words of the shopkeeper, the second dog hurriedly took out a worn-out bag from his arms and poured out all the copper coins and a few small pieces of broken silver in it.
This is the little bit left of the two of them before they met Su Ruyu, and this time it can just come in handy.
The shopkeeper glanced at the pile of broken silver and copper plates on the table with disgust, and then counted them.
"You're only a little more than a tael of silver!
"Hahaha! What, brother, this time we were in too much of a hurry, and the young master's money bag was lost. How about giving you ten taels of silver as a reward, and I promise that I won't lose you. ”
In order to make a good appearance, Ergou also recognized Su Ruyu as a young master, no way, who let him be the most like a young master among the three people here, and he is really a young master!
The shopkeeper glanced at the three of them suspiciously, but there was really no way.
"Let's go! Let's go! Damn, I'm unlucky! That stingy shopkeeper, this month's bounty must be gone!"
"Hahaha, I'm really sorry! Next time, next time, if you are given ten taels of reward, you will be given ten taels!"
"! What kind of reward do you have to offer, you don't have the money to pretend to be a big family! I should have guessed that you are here to eat white food, and you are in a hurry, like you have never eaten in eight lifetimes!"
Faced with the resentment of the shopkeeper, the three of them didn't dare to say a word, picked up their luggage and ran out of the hotel.
