Chapter 138: Although the alley is shallow, the hidden dragon and the crouching tiger
Cao Zhi never dreamed that he would fall to death in this life, and in full view of everyone, maybe his reputation in Jiwei Lane will stink from now on, but it seems that it has never been good.
It's just a pity that I still don't have the opportunity to save enough copper plates, go to a cheap shop to change into white clothes to wear, and I don't have the opportunity to have a decent long sword, in fact, as long as it's not too dull, it's very good.
Those peers have really ugly faces, and they may not be able to scare them by being a ghost, but they will be scared away.
The teenager's mind was disordered, his mind gradually went blank, and he couldn't help but close his eyes.
In the next moment, he had the feeling of being grabbed by the neck, his eyes were open, his eyes were facing each other, his eyes were like electricity behind the black mask, and a layer of cold sweat broke out on the young man's back, until his feet hit the ground, and his immature cheeks were still slightly sluggish.
Chen Twelve let go, turned around and walked around the wall, Cao Zhi looked at the black back, a little stunned, but for some reason, he couldn't help but follow.
So, the two of them, who were all bruises, moved one after the other, and walked into the city gate, Cao Zhi couldn't help but turn his head again, glanced at the white clothes, gritted his teeth, suppressed his thoughts, and went away with the black robe.
On the long street, there were many people gathered, all of them were close to the style of a sword fairy, Chen Twelve's footsteps were fast, everyone also gave a way, Wu Mane was not confused, and followed, but found that Cao Zhi, who had a blue nose and swollen face, was also like him, tailgating.
Wu Mane was expressionless, and said vaguely: "Which kid, why did you follow?"
Cao Zhi swallowed his saliva, next to him was Wu Ergongzi, how could he not know, and then, he smiled shyly and said: "Cao Zhi of Jiwei Lane, Chen Jianxian saved the kid's life, and the kid hasn't thanked him yet." ”
Wu Mane was surprised: "When will it happen?"
Orphan Cao told the story of Fang Cai, and Wu Ergongzi realized that he had just gone down to the city there, so he didn't expect that Chen Twelve would actually care about the life of an ordinary man.
"Boy, go back, Chen Jianxian still needs to be healed, don't delay ......"
Before Wu Mane finished speaking, the young man said: "Second son, please ask Rong Xiaozi and Chen Jianxian to say one sentence, and one sentence is enough." ”
After the three of them turned the corner, there were already few pedestrians with long swords here, Chen Twelve suddenly turned around and said in a deep voice: "Your name is Cao Zhi?"
The young man said nervously at this moment: "It's the kid." ”
"Follow Chen to the City Lord's Mansion and teach you to practice swords in the future, do you want to learn?" the man asked seriously.
Wu Mane and Wu Ergongzi were stunned for a moment......
The young Cao Zhi was even more incredulous and speechless.
The second son thought for a while, guessing that the young man next to him might be talented in swordsmanship, so he was looked at by the man with eleven natal flying swords, and couldn't help but bump his elbow against the young man: "Dumb?"
Orphan Cao came back to his senses and said busily: "Cao Zhi is willing to worship Chen Jianxian as a teacher......
Chen Twelve said "um" and walked away.
Wu Mane is much more casual now, perhaps because Chen Twelve can return to his mansion again, so he can't help but raise his hand to put his arm around the young man's neck: "Brother Cao, even if you talk to Wu in the future, don't see outside." ”
The young man had to endure the pain of the previous injury, and said shyly, "Don't dare, don't dare."
At the head of the city, the ancestor of the Zheng family was angry, grabbed the ears of a junior, and scolded a few words of hatred before he brushed his sleeves and went down to the city.
He originally saw with his own eyes the person who fell from the city, with a quintessential martial arts atmosphere on his body, and asked the junior to hurry up and rob people and bring them back to his own home to cultivate, but he was frightened away by Chen Twelve's momentum, how could this not make people angry.
There were also a few Jin Dan who saw the Wufu atmosphere, but when they saw the young man in the city going with the black-robed man, many thoughts had to be dispelled.
The old man Pei Mingsheng was not, he was very relieved at the moment, guessing that Chen Twelve must have entered the golden body realm, so that he could suppress the flying sword atmosphere, and he could easily bring back a young man with martial arts for the city lord's mansion, how could he not be happy, and the most important thing was that the surname Chen was willing to stay in the Wu family.
At the gate of the city, Yan Bufu met with Wang Yougen and Yan Danhu, but was watched by countless eyes, especially when it fell on the woman, the white clothes looked around, and then snorted coldly, and everyone realized what they remembered, and they had to lower their eyes......
The three of them went all the way back to Wanfu Inn, and the shopkeeper came back one step earlier, and at the moment he was groveling and smiling brightly, so Yan Bufu had to say a few words to the shopkeeper.
The woman went back to the house accompanied by Wang Yougen, and after some words of concern in front of the stone table, two Wanfu girls came knocking on the door, and it turned out that they were asking a man and a woman if they wanted to bathe and change clothes.
It just so happened that after being drenched by a heavy rain, it was inevitable that the body would be uncomfortable, so the two Wanfu girls were instructed to go and order someone to carry water.
Half an hour later, the two finished freshening up, but the woman felt a little tired, and after talking to Wang Yougen, she went back to the house and fell asleep.
Wang Yougen also went out of the courtyard and came to the lobby, where the shopkeeper Wan was still chattering with Yan Bufu, it turned out that the two were chatting about painting......
"The shopkeeper, borrow the kitchen. Wang Yougen said with a smile.
Although the shopkeeper Wan doesn't know why, it is still a chicken pecking rice, Yan Bufu took the opportunity to go to the kitchen with Wang Yougen, in fact, the shopkeeper Wan knows a little about painting, but he really doesn't know anything......
In the city lord's mansion, Wu Ergongzi personally led the young man to the residence, and the furnishings in the house were exquisite, so that Cao Zhi was a little afraid to cross the threshold, and after Wu Mane joked a few words, the young man had the courage to enter the house.
After some explanation, Cao Zhi said that he wanted to go back to Jiwei Lane to pack some things, Wu Mane simply nodded, and then, he ordered the city guards outside the door to take someone to Jiwei Lane with the boy.
"Second son, the kid doesn't dare to bother the eldest brothers, and there aren't many things at home, so let's go back by myself. Cao Zhi said shyly.
Wu Mane was thoughtful, and said with a smile: "It's okay, then Brother Cao will go early and return early." ”
The young man nodded, and followed a servant girl out of the house, and soon after he left, five city guards followed closely behind, Wu Mane was still a little worried, and the few bold boys on the city head before went to add to the blockage.
Jiwei Lane, there is water on the bluestone road, which is caused by the previous heavy rain, there is a layer of moss on it, there are a lot of sides against the wall, and the middle is very shallow.
An old man sat by the courtyard door, holding a dry tobacco stick in his hand, and his mouth was full of fog, as if he could not swallow exhaustively, and half of the alley was filled with smoke, but fortunately, there were not many residents here, only six families, three of which moved out early.
The door of another small courtyard was opened, and a lame man came out, his face was full of beard, his eyes showed a fierce light, and he glared at the old man and said, "Old immortal, give Lao Tzu a mouthful." ”
The old man got up happily, unaware of the man's domineering attitude, took a step to the door of the other party's house, and then raised the cigarette stick and stuffed it into the man's mouth.
The lame man didn't dislike it, he took a hard breath before he slowly spit out the fog, and his body couldn't help but tremble, it turned out that the two sleeves were empty.
"Old immortal, this tobacco leaf is terrible, let's try it better next time. The man disgruntled and motioned for another sip.
The old man also had a tacit understanding, and the cigarette holder was stuffed into the other party's mouth, and he didn't forget to say: "Certainly, definitely, it's just that I've been in a panic these days." ”
"Old place, take it yourself. The man smacked his mouth.
"Gotcha. The old man happily put the cigarette holder in the man's mouth, and then staggered into the other party's house, and took out a silver ticket under the incense burner in the main house and stuffed it into his arms before going out.
The man was so angry that he whined, bared his teeth and leaked a lot of smoke, and coughed incessantly, and it seemed that he was choking.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm getting older, and my legs and feet are not good. The old man said, and took the cigarette stick off.
"Old ...... The old immortal, choking to death, damn ......" The man scolded angrily, and couldn't help coughing again.
"I'm really sorry, old rotten stewed chicken for dinner, make up for it?" the old man said tentatively.
"Make up a hammer, and when Cao Zhi comes back, let him go to the restaurant to pick up vegetables, two pots of apricots. ”
After finishing speaking, the old man's spirit was shocked, and he said happily: "This is very good, Brother Tong is magnificent!"
"Which time!!" the man questioned.
The old man wanted to speak, but was interrupted by footsteps at the entrance of the alley.
"Grandpa Cai, Uncle Tong. Cao Zhi said with a smile, but his face was blue and purple, but fortunately, the young man's face was delicate, otherwise the thief would be ugly.
"Beaten again. The old man said happily.
"I didn't beat him hard enough. The man said angrily.
The boy stepped forward, and in this way, everyone in Jiwei Lane was ready.
"It's okay to ......," Cao Zhi wanted to say and stopped.
"There's a fart. The man spat out a string of smoke rings and said.
So, the boy explained everything before.
"Okay, good, very good, so go back to the house and pack your luggage, don't forget to go back to Jiwei Alley. The old man said happily.
The young man bowed his head and was speechless.
"Hurry a hammer, go to the restaurant to pick up food, two pots of apricot wine, eat and drink well, and then go, the silver is in the old place" The man was dissatisfied.
Cao Zhi smiled, walked into the courtyard, took out a silver ticket after the portrait of the main house, put it in his sleeve, and went all the way out of the alley.
When the boy left, the man surnamed Tong said, "When are we leaving?"
This time, the old man scolded: "Hurry up with a hammer, wait for the old man to see what roots Wang Gushan has, and then it's not too late to return to Tongcheng." ”
"If you have a fart, he wants to knock him down with one kick in front of Lao Tzu, and never more than half a foot. The man said confidently.
"Reckless, that kid is superb, and the old man doesn't necessarily mean that he will die. The old man pondered.
"Really?!"
"Not really. ”
In the smoky Jiwei Alley, the man was a little eager to try, and the old man in the Transformation Stage also said the same, so it would be a pity that his martial artist of the Quenching Soul Realm did not fight heartily!
In an instant, the weather on the man's body changed completely, and the fist intent shook, and the smoke in the alley disappeared.
"Hurry up with a hammer, and before we go back to the city, keep you out. The old man said with a smile.
An empty sleeve waved, a white cloud in the sky of Shoucheng dissipated in an instant, and the man said seriously: "It's enough to shoot." ”
Not long after, Cao Zhi returned with a box of wine.
In the man's main house, the three of them ate and drank as usual, this time is the most daring time for the teenager to let go of his stomach, if it is in his own home, he must be saved, otherwise it is very likely that there will be no next meal.
It has been like this for more than ten years, and since the age of four, when I can help men do some work, I have mixed up on the table, otherwise I can only squat at the door.
In Cao Zhi's impression, the old man and him are "all the way", never ambiguous about eating and drinking, and don't know what politeness is, but if you go out of Jiwei Alley, you won't dare, you will be beaten, regardless of the old and young......
It's just that tonight, eating and drinking is not very strong, Cao Zhi is very reluctant to get out of the alley, but he is eager to hold the sword.
Fortunately, the old man kept joking, and the man was not as fierce as before, and sometimes there were a few jokes, so that the young man ate a few more bites, of course, he was also the man's "hand", and he had to help feed him.
At the entrance of the alley, the five city guards couldn't help but wander left and right as the sky was getting dark, but they still waited patiently.
Not far away, four teenagers came with wooden sticks in their hands, talking and laughing.
"I'll take care of my childish son today. ”
"It has to be dropped. ”
