Chapter 141: Compassion
Before leaving, Chen Kang asked them for the two most shabby clothes and stuffed him with some broken silver. After going out, he walked to a hidden place alone, took Yi Rongdan down, changed his clothes, and then swaggered back to Fenzhou City. It's just that when he returned to the city, Yin Tiancheng and Chu Peiyao had already left, so he had to go on the road alone.
As soon as his appearance changed, it was much more comfortable, and it was smooth sailing along the way, even if he was full and lying on the road and falling asleep, he was too lazy for anyone to take a look at him - the only bad thing was that he was stared at a lot when he ate and lived in the hotel, and some were afraid that he would not be able to pay the money, so he begged for money before he ate, but fortunately, Chen Kang didn't care much, and when he met the one who had to settle the bill first, he paid it first.
A few days ago, he also arrived in Jizhou City. It was noon, and Chen Kang was also hungry, and when he saw a restaurant on the street full of customers, he thought that such a place generally tasted bad, so he also walked in.
But as soon as he entered the door, he was stopped by a shopkeeper. The shopkeeper stretched out two fingers and grabbed the clothes on his shoulders and pulled him out, while saying, "You stinky food! Why are you still squeezing in?"
Chen Kang couldn't help but be angry, secretly thinking that even if the previous store was afraid that he would not be able to pay, he had not yet directly pushed him in advance. So he deliberately pretended to be pulled back by him and retreated, but he took advantage of the retreat to stumble at the feet of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper suddenly fell to the ground and fell to the ground with his feet facing the sky.
The shopkeeper has also seen the world, and after suffering this loss, he knew that the person in front of him knew some martial arts, but relying on the power of the boss Murong Changle, he was willing to give up, and as soon as his ass hit the ground, he shouted at the top of his voice: "Shopkeeper!
With this shout, four strong men immediately rushed out of the hall. Chen Kang regretted it in his heart at this time, and secretly thought that he had only been clean for a few days, and he really shouldn't provoke these rights and wrongs. At this time, he hurriedly waved his hand while retreating: "Don't get me wrong! Don't get me wrong! This is really his own tripping ......"
How could those people listen to him, their eyes widened angrily, and they still pressed their fists towards him. Seeing this, Chen Kang turned his head and ran, leaving only a burst of scolding behind him.
After running through two streets, Chen Kang dared to stop, and couldn't help but scold aggrievedly: "A group of dogs look down on people's things! Uncle, will I be a person who eats white food?"
As soon as the words fell, I heard a person next to me shouting and scolding: "What the hell do you want to do if you don't want to eat white food!"
"I'll go!" Fang Lesheng exclaimed, looking sideways, it turned out that there was also a restaurant in front of him, but the faΓ§ade was small and a little old. At this moment, a burly, round-faced man at the door of the restaurant was grabbing a young man by the collar, half-lifting him, and scolding:
"You're so fucking good, you still want to pay your debts after eating, uncle, I have to teach you a lesson today!" he raised his fist the size of a bronze bowl and made a gesture to fight.
The young man hurriedly said, "The good man is angry! The good man is angry! I will give the silver taels immediately, and I will not be able to give it immediately?"
The round-faced man just put him down, and when he put him down, he didn't let go of his anger, and the man sat on the ground with his ass free, grinning in pain but not daring to make a sound, and hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver in his arms and handed it over and said, "Good man, you take it, these are enough, right?"
The round-faced man took it and handed it to the fifty-year-old woman who was driven out: "Boss, do you think this is enough?"
The old woman hurriedly said, "Enough, enough, there is still ...... left" and took out the copper coin from his bosom to make up for it, but the young man was frightened by the round-faced man, and he didn't care about asking for change, so he only got up and said straight, "No, no, no!" and limped into the distance.
Chen Kang muttered, "Good girl! I thought he was scolding me." As he spoke, he walked towards the restaurant. I secretly said in my heart: "It seems that I only have to eat such a small shop...... "I inevitably regret that I didn't eat the food of that big restaurant."
When he had entered the shop, the old woman greeted him with a pleasant face, and seated him at the table next to the round-faced man. Chen Kang took a look, and there was a man in his thirties who was eating with this round-faced man. This person looks much more delicate than the round-faced man, but he has a black blindfold on one eye, which is a little weird. The two of them had a lot of dishes on the table, chatting casually while eating.
Chen Kang casually ordered two side dishes, and after eating them, he didn't expect them to be very delicious, so he couldn't help but add two more signature dishes, first put silver taels on the counter, and then ate them slowly.
While eating, another person came in at the door, wearing brown clothes, in his fifties, Chen Kang couldn't help but feel a sudden shock when he saw it, it turned out that this person was Huang Jiao.
As soon as Huang Jiao entered the door, a voice shouted: "Brother Huang, here!"
Chen Kang looked sideways, and it turned out that it was the round-faced man who called him. Huang Jiao walked towards the two with a smile and drank wine together very familiarly.
Chen Kang muttered to himself in his heart: "Is the fire lotus on Huang Jiao's body? Gongye's predecessors entrusted him with destroying this thing when he was dying, and since he agreed, he couldn't break his promise!" So he paid close attention to a few people, thinking of finding another opportunity to get the fire lotus back.
The three of them drank and chatted, and later, the joy of meeting was swept away, and it was replaced by a full of depression and indignation, because Huang Jiao was talking to them about Gong Yelie's death.
The round-faced man put the wine glass on the table heavily, glared and said, "That one named Chen Kang should not be bumped into by Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu had to pluck off his skin when he saw him...... I said that Simon Hong's hand is too soft, even if you don't kill him, you should have scrapped his claws. β
The man wearing the blindfold poured him the wine again, and said, "Brother, you are too anxious, after all, Second Brother Huang also said it, I don't know if it was his poison, and no one saw it at that time." β
Huang Jiao said: "I don't believe that Chen Kang's nonsense, but it's a pity that Huo Gongzi was not there at the time, and the two personal maids of Coral were also missing, and no one could identify him in person......! Fortunately, although Ximen Daxia didn't kill him, Brother Gongye's things were finally recovered. β
Huang Jiao deliberately didn't say the name of the fire lotus, in case there were too many people in the store to hear it.
The round-faced man took a sip of the wine in the cup, and said with some worry: "But there are no design drawings, and now there is no sample of a projectile, even if there is a fire lotus, our brother is afraid that he will not be able to make a projectile." β
Huang Jiao hurriedly looked around, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Lu is cautious!"
The round-faced man said, "What are you afraid of!" and who hears it, what can you do to me?" but his voice was much quieter.
The man wearing the blindfold said: "Second Brother Huang, Brother Gongye's talent in this area is the most outstanding among us, since this thing is his painstaking research for several years, it must be extremely ingenious and complex, and it is not very hopeful for us to make it...... You should keep it properly first, and when we finish watching the incense meeting of Youyunguan, we will go to you to see the real thing and study it together. β
Huang Jiao said: "Second Brother Lu, don't worry, I have already put it in a safe place." However, Second Brother Lu should not be too modest, the eldest brother used to praise the two, and said that Second Brother Lu's talent is not under him, when your affairs here are over, I will show you things, I believe you will be able to come up with a way......
"However, do you say that the Holy Blood Deer that You Cloud Temple wants to exhibit is really that wonderful?"
The man wearing the blindfold took a sip of wine slowly, frowned and shook his head, "I'm not sure what happened now, in short, you have to see and see before you can judge." β
The round-faced man's eyes widened, and he put down his wine glass and said: "How can this be fake? The Holy Blood Deer is a magic medicine to improve internal strength, who in the martial arts doesn't know? The notice of You Yunguan said that it can only cure diseases, but I think it's just because I am afraid that there are people in the martial arts who will be greedy, so I went to rob him!"
The man wearing the blindfold couldn't help but smile and said, "Brother, I think only you believe it, and others are afraid that they will only believe two or three points." β
Huang Jiao also laughed when he heard this, and then lowered his voice and said: "With Brother Lu's straightforward temperament, he can still be an expert in making blades and hidden weapons, which is really rare. β
Several people chatted for a while, full of wine and food. Huang Jiao got up and said goodbye to the two, hugged his fists and said: "Then the matter is decided, and on the first day of the next month, I will wait for the two virtuous brothers in the 'old place'." β
The two men surnamed Lu also clasped their fists and saluted: "I will definitely go there at that time!", and after speaking, Huang Jiao walked outside the store.
Chen Kang wiped his mouth quietly and followed, intending to wait for an opportunity to capture him and ask him to hand over the fire lotus.
But as soon as I walked out of a street, I saw a lot of people around me, noisily looking at something. Huang Jiao was also attracted and walked towards the crowd.
Chen Kang also followed, but when he looked at it, he couldn't help but be shocked. It turned out that what those people were watching was two shopkeeper-looking people punching and kicking an old man, and the old man was covered in dirt, munching on a roast goose, and did not care about the kicking of the two, only when the two were about to kick his roast goose, they avoided it slightly, or blocked it with their elbows.
This person was the crazy old man that Chen Kang recognized.
Seeing him like this, Chen Kang felt compassion and hurriedly shouted, "Stop! Stop!", opened the crowd, stuffed a piece of broken silver into one of the shopkeepers, and helped the crazy old man up. But after just a while, I looked up at the yellow Jiao, but there was no one anymore.
Chen Kang wanted to hurry up to find it, but his sleeve was grabbed by the crazy old man.
The crazy old man looked at him and said with a smile: "Brother, you are willing to pay me, you are really a good person! Why don't you eat it together?"
Chen Kang hurriedly pushed him away and said, "Brother, you are waiting for me here, I'll go do something and come back to you!" After speaking, he ran towards the street.
