Chapter 8 Half a year

Xia Yu opened his eyes, and his originally deep eyes had a trace of hot red, which disappeared in an instant.

Feeling the surging strength of his body, Xia Yu smiled proudly.

The medicinal power of the dragon fruit even healed all the injuries on Xia Yu's body.

Xia Yu moved for a while, gradually getting used to the strength of his body, and then carefully turned around twice behind the stone room, and found nothing precious, so he resolutely turned around and left, without dragging his feet.

Just an hour after Xia Yu left, two burly middle-aged people came to the stone room, looking at the dragon fruit that had disappeared, their faces were full of anger, one of them punched the stone wall next to him, and the cave suddenly flew with gravel, kept shaking, sighed and said: "How is this good, the dragon fruit that Gongzi wants makes people take the lead." ”

The other looked at the crumbling cave and said, "Let's get out of this cave first, or we'll be buried alive here." The dragon fruit is gone, and the task assigned by Childe has not been completed, so we will go back and explain it truthfully. ”

The previous one also nodded and said, "That's the only way, it seems that a punishment is inevitable." ”

Just as the two left, the cave collapsed with a rumbling sound.

At this time, Xia Yu was sitting in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion, shaking the paper fan and drinking tea, with a smile on his face, so comfortable.

Time flies, Xia Yu has been cultivating in the City Lord's Mansion for the past few days, and it was not until the last day of the mission that he walked out of the City Lord's Mansion and came to the Facai Tavern with a smile on his face.

Xia Yu shook the paper fan and walked into the fortune tavern step by step, which attracted the attention of everyone, most of whom had seen Xia Yu and remembered Xia Yu vividly.

walked straight to the front of the shopkeeper, put the tiger skin of the three-color tiger on the counter, and said, "Submit the task." ”

After the shopkeeper Ren glanced at Xia Yu, he was engrossed in looking at the intact tiger skin of the three-color tiger, the coat was bright in color, and it was soft and smooth to the touch with his hand.

"The tiger skin is intact, undamaged, shiny as new, very good, this task is done beautifully. ”

After the shopkeeper Ren finished speaking, he looked at Xia Yu with a smile, and then said, "What about another task?"

"The Red Scale Python is strong, I am not an opponent, but I can retreat in the face of the Red Scale Python, which also proves my strong strength. ”

Xia Yu shook the paper fan in his hand and said seriously.

In order to hide his strength, Xia Yu told lies, but also for fear that others would know that he had eaten dragon fruit, for fear of attracting the attention of some well-intentioned people and causing unnecessary trouble.

The shopkeeper Ren looked at Xia Yu in a daze, and the bounty hunter who was drinking in the tavern heard Xia Yu's words, and even squirted out the wine in his mouth, and then said with a smile: "It's the first time I've seen someone who talks about mission failure so officially." ”

Everyone in the tavern burst into laughter.

Xia Yu turned a blind eye to the ridicule of these people, and still kept his face unchanged, as if everyone was not laughing at him.

Shopkeeper Ren looked at Xia Yu, who was still as pale as ever in the face of everyone's ridicule, and said, "Young man, you know how to retreat and have a future." ”

"Why are you people laughing at others, how many of you can complete this task, I'm afraid there is no one, if there is, this task will not be hanging here for a month without asking the scriptures, not to mention that Xia Yu is only in his teens now, what about you, most of them are in their thirties and forties, and the youngest is older than Xia Yu, since you are older than Xia Yu and your strength is not as good as Xia Yu, what face do you have to laugh at Xia Yu. ”

Shopkeeper Ren pointed to the people in the tavern and said indignantly.

Most of the people in the tavern bowed their heads and were silent, but a few people were not convinced, their eyes were wide and their eyebrows were high, and they were about to stand up and speak.

At this moment, the sharp gaze of the shopkeeper swept over several people, like a cold knife on the necks of several people, and several people suddenly felt cold all over, and no one dared to move, let alone speak.

"Haha, what the shopkeeper Ren said is the same as what I think in my heart, why don't you sit down and have a drink?" Xia Yu saw all the words and deeds of the shopkeeper, and suddenly became curious about the shopkeeper, so he invited him.

"I like to drink and talk to young people so that I look young. The shopkeeper Ren put away his sharp eyes and said with a kind face.

"Thank you for your face. ”

After Xia Yu and the shopkeeper Ren sat down, they shouted to the guy next to them: "Here are the six best dishes, and two pots of the strongest wine." ”

The guy served the food and drinks very quickly.

Xia Yu filled the wine glasses between himself and Shopkeeper Ren, picked up the wine glasses and said, "Shopkeeper Ren, I will be a bounty hunter in the future, and I have been dealing with them for a long time, so please take care of them." ”

"I don't dare to say that I will treat everyone equally, and I won't let you suffer. Shopkeeper Ren said with a smile.

"Honestly. ”

Xia Yu raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, and a flaming liquid ran down his throat, and his whole body suddenly became hot, his face turned red, and he couldn't help but say, "Enough." ”

"This wine is called Burnt Knife, and it is perfect for this cold weather. ”

Shopkeeper Ren said with a smile: "This wine is cheap and cheap, and every bounty hunter who comes back from completing a mission likes to drink a glass to relieve his tired body and nerves." ”

"It seems that this wine is really good, and I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to leave it in the future. Xia Yu poured another glass and said with a wine glass.

"Judging by your dress, you are a rich and noble child, and you should not be short of money, how did you think of becoming a bounty hunter?" asked the shopkeeper curiously.

"I've been practicing hard at home all these years, and now I want to find a real combat opportunity, where you can have such an opportunity and money, and have such the best of both worlds, why not do it. Xia Yu said with a smile.

"Most of the people who come to me are poor children, and they have to take on various tasks to make a living in order to live, and the rich and noble children also come here to take on tasks and experience, but they don't come again after a long time, I hope you are different from them, and you will persist for a longer time. The shopkeeper Ren drank all the wine in the cup, and then said slowly.

"Yes, at least you'll see me often for the next year. Xia Yu said affirmatively.

······

After Xia Yu walked out of the Tavern, a cold wind blew, which made Xia Yu, who was originally a little drunk, excited, and said in his mouth: "This wine is strong, it seems that I will drink less in the future." ”

For half a year, Xia Yu continued to appear in the Fortune Tavern, and then different tasks, and he was also familiar with the bounty hunters in the Fortune Tavern.

On this day, Xia Yu appeared in the fortune tavern again, greeted everyone in the tavern, and came straight to the shopkeeper Ren, and said, "Old Ren, is there a task that suits me?"
