Chapter 182: The Thief
Wanjian Mountain is approaching, and the heroic villains of Yingxia Town have set foot one after another, which can be described as a gathering of masters, a group of scum, and the taverns and inns in Yingxia are overcrowded, and even the eaves of the street are crowded.
Mu Xiao naturally doesn't have to worry about accommodation, there is a place in the free valley medicine store. However, the first time Mu Xiao came to Yingxia, Markham naturally wanted to entertain him, after all, he was also a landlord now, so he had to do his best to be a landlord.
"Living, Living......"
Seeing Long Haohao's family walk away, Markham probe called Fu Shengsheng in the store. Mu Xiao waited on the sidelines, the Markham in front of him had faded from his childishness, and the sparse beard looked more of a man's symbol.
Inside, Fu Shengsheng clapped his hands and walked out, patted the dust on his body and said nonsense: "Don't you see that I'm busy?
Markham didn't speak, and looked at Fu Shengsheng with a mysterious expression. The latter stood at the door and found Mu Xiao sitting on one side looking at him with a smile.
"I'm not mistaken, right? Brother Mu?" Fu Shengsheng hurriedly stepped in the direction of Mu Xiao as he spoke.
The next moment, he was stopped by Markham: "Hey, we're going to drink, you're going out in this dress?"
"Oh, Brother Mu, wait a minute!" Fu Shengsheng looked at Mu Xiao and said with a smile.
"Go, wait for you!" Mu Xiao stood up and waved at him.
It didn't take long for Fu Shengsheng to change his clothes and come out, as if he had completely changed as a person, Mu Xiao quipped: "Shengsheng, I haven't seen you for more than half a year, you have grown a lot, strong." ”
Mu Xiao said and punched him, Fu Shengsheng didn't speak, and Wan Ham on the side looked disdainful: "Can it not be long? Sister Yuyan is about to raise him as a pig." ”
"Married?" Mu Xiao asked in a daze.
Fu Shengsheng smiled awkwardly: "Not yet." Then he changed the topic and said to Markham: "Markham, can you go to Jinxiang Restaurant today?"
Jinxiang Restaurant is the most luxurious restaurant in Yingxia Town, and it is also a place where dignitaries gather, of course, the consumption is also considerable, at least ordinary people are discouraged. Even a rich boy like Markham is reluctant to patronize.
No, I've been in Yingxia Town for more than a month, and Markham said that he didn't go shopping anymore, so Mu Xiao's arrival today shouldn't be able to wipe his face, right?
"This, let's talk about it later, and I'll go to our Wanjia Tavern today. ”
Markham was a little embarrassed, but he really couldn't spend the money on him. I finally got a few hundred taels of gold from my father, and all of them were smashed in the medicine store, and now I am overstretched.
"Look, you're a shopkeeper. Fu Shengsheng said with a twisted mouth.
Seeing Markham's embarrassed face, Mu Xiao stepped forward, looked at Fu Shengsheng and said, "Shengsheng, listen to Markham, go to Wanjia Tavern." ”
"Brother Mu, I'm ashamed, I really don't have enough money to go to Jinxiang Restaurant, I owe you both for today's meal, how about it? ”
Markham is also honest, and he doesn't feel embarrassed, he knows that Fu Shengsheng is just playing with himself, this guy invited him to Jinxiang Restaurant before he opened a medicine store last time, and he didn't go to live or die, but today he actually made fun of himself and made friends carelessly.
"That's it, seeing that you are poor and sour, let you go first. Fu Shengsheng pretended to be an adult and didn't care about the villain's life, and walked in front of him.
Mu Xiao and Markham shook their heads helplessly and followed, and the crowd was crowded and some places had to pass sideways.
Mu Xiao and Markham walked all the way to ask about the situation of the Wandering Clan, and heard Markham say that the Wandering Valley Refining Pharmacy had been built, and the medicine had been refined last month. The alchemists are all found from all over the world, and although the remuneration is a bit high, the finished medicine is still good.
"Patriarch, how are they?" asked Mu Xiao thoughtfully.
Markham put his hands on his back and walked side by side with Mu Xiao: "The patriarch is very good, but everyone is looking forward to your return." ”
Markham looked sideways at Mu Xiao, wanting to speak again and again, with a hint of envy in his expression.
Mu Xiao's eyes swept between his eyebrows, and when he saw Markham's slightly furrowed Sichuan eyebrows, he asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"
"Actually, it's nothing, the people of the wandering clan are looking forward to your return, because the patriarch wants to give up the position of the patriarch, he said that you are the only candidate, and the people in the clan say the same. Markham paused: "But my father said that Brother Mu's future is not in Qingyang, let alone the wandering clan." ”
"What kind of future, I, Mu Xiao, am alone, I can eat and drink as much as I want, but I am really not interested in the position of the patriarch, after all, it is better to let their own people manage the Wandering Valley, and no matter how close we are, we are still outsiders after all. Mu Xiao said with a wry smile.
When Markham heard this, he rolled his eyes, and finally glanced at Fu Shengsheng who was walking in front, and then turned back to Mu Xiao and said, "If you hear this to the people of the Wandering Clan, it will hurt their hearts." In their eyes, your brother Mu is a member of the Wandering Clan. ”
"Catch the thief, catch the thief!"
When the two were talking, the crowd in front of them suddenly rioted, and the crowded crowd was forced out of the way.
A beggar covered in stains rushed towards Mu Xiao and the others, his face was full of dust, dirt, his greasy clothes emitted a rancid smell, and his hands were still dragging two steaming buns.
Seeing that Mu Xiao and Markham were blocking the way, he was about to make a detour to escape, when a shovel rushed towards him in the air behind him.
"Ahh
"Oh"
"It's going to kill someone. ”
“......”
Seeing the spatula coming at the beggar, the surrounding crowd was worried. Mu Xiao's figure moved, and his big hand reached out to catch the flying spatula in his hand.
Markham on one side grabbed the beggar's arm, and at this time, a fat man in an apron in the crowd shook his fat belly, panting and catching up, and there were several athletic men behind him.
The fat man didn't have time to catch his breath, a gesture fell, and the guy behind him rushed up to pull away the beggar in front of Markham.
Markham stepped forward and shouted coldly in front of him, "What are you going to do?"
"Boy, give it, give it to people...... I hand it over. The fat man swayed his body and walked forward, saying intermittently.
Mu Xiao fiddled with the spatula in his hand and looked at the fat man, and asked slowly: "This boss, what did he steal from you?" You have to chase after him all over the street, and throw a shovel at him, if you hit it just now, you won't break your head and bleed?"
"I didn't steal, I worked in his shop for a month, not only did he not pay me, I was so hungry that I couldn't do it, so I took two buns. The beggar behind him suddenly spoke, his hoarse voice a little sickly.
As soon as these words came out, the onlookers pointed their fingers.
"This shop has always been like this, often changing guys without saying anything, and blatantly smashing other people's stalls. ”
"No, this boss is black-hearted. ”
"Isn't it just that his nephew is a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect?"
“......”
Facing the surrounding discussions, the fat man blushed and turned his head with his hands on his waist, and said coldly: "Let me see who is chewing the root of his tongue here, who is it?"
Quiet, the onlookers suddenly quieted down. At this time, Mu Xiao turned around and walked to the beggar behind Markham, and asked in a low voice, "What you just said is true, and how much silver does he owe you?"
"Ten taels, I said that I would give me ten taels for a month when I was going to do chores with him, but then I was afraid that I ate too much, so he drove me away, and he didn't give me a knot. The beggar, who was so black that he only showed his eyes, trembled, and the bun in his hand had been pinched by him.
Mu Xiao and Markham glanced at each other, and the two walked up to the fat man, and the guys subconsciously stepped back.
The fat man looked at Markham with a sneer on his face and said, "Boy, I know you, if you are nosy, you don't want to stay in Yingxia." ”
"Hey, there are still people in Yingxia Town who dare to threaten me. Markham grinned, and the next moment his eyes swept behind the fat man, and shouted to Fu Shengsheng, who had been waiting for a long time: "Shengsheng, someone dares to threaten us and beat him!"
boom
Before the fat man and the others came back to their senses, the fat man threw himself forward, and fell to the ground in a dog eating posture. Seeing this, the guys stepped forward to help the fat man.
Behind him, Fu Shengsheng had an evil smile on his face, and stood in place with his hands crossed and looked at a few people.
This scene came too suddenly, even Mu Xiao was surprised, these two guys said to clean up, when did they become so irritable.
Seeing Mu Xiao's confusion, Markham immediately explained in a low voice: "This guy's name is Boss Qian, and he likes to bully some people who are afraid of things on weekdays. ”
"Oh, my waist, what are you still doing in a daze? The fat man was just helped up, and a purple meat bun was swollen at the corner of his broken mouth, and he couldn't help but take a breath of cool air just after speaking.
The guys around him suddenly surrounded Fu Shengsheng, punching and kicking. However, he was soon put down by Fu Shengsheng.
At this time, the crowd around him burst into warm applause, and the fat man standing alone in the middle lost face, Tie Qing's face looked at Fu Shengsheng, gritted his teeth and said, "You, you wait for me." ”
The fat man knew that he was not the opponent of a few people, so he put down the cruel words and broke the crowd away, and several guys who fell to the ground struggled to get up, covering their bodies and following closely.
"Hey, don't you want a spatula?" Mu Xiao shouted with a grin, and then threw the spatula over.
The fat man caught the spatula and pointed at a few people in his hand and said, "You all wait for me." ”
"Huhu...... Ahaha"
The people around laughed, and at this time, some people began to worry about Mu Xiao and the others, and one of them reminded: "I advise you to get out of here quickly." ”
"yes, that's Boss Money. ”
"Although Boss Qian's kung fu is not as good as yours, his nephew Qian Erliang is a master. ”
"I heard that he is still a disciple of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect!"
“......”
Everyone was gossiping, talking about Mu Xiao and Markham, and they were stunned. Markham joked to Fu Shengsheng: "Did you hear that, my nephew is a master, you should be careful." ”
"Are you yin me?" Fu Shengsheng said angrily.
At this time, the beggar stepped forward, and half of the bun in his hand had already been grabbed by him, and said to a few people with trembling: "Thank you benefactors, you better get out of here quickly." ”
"Don't you have to be afraid, isn't it just a money boss?" said Markham, patting the messy beggar, "Take you to change your clothes and let's go!"
"This ......," the beggar half-doubted.
Mu Xiao looked at Markham and smiled, this was like his Markham's character, and he couldn't see others suffering.
Mu Xiao continued: "This big brother, you can go with us." ”
Markham half-pulled the beggar, and the three of them squeezed through the crowd and walked towards the Wanjia Tavern.
