Chapter 103: Finding out the news
Wake up from the meditative state, tidy up, and walk towards the dock city.
Wucheng is located in the plain area, the place is not big, most of them are inhabited by mortals, more or less a few monks are here, and they have not abandoned on the way to come and have never heard of where there is a fang market or something near here.
When he came to the city gate, there were many people outside the city who were entering the city, and there were a few old and weak soldiers at the city gate to maintain order.
He was about to walk into the city when he suddenly heard a sigh.
"Alas, these days are really getting more and more difficult, when is it a head. ”
Bu turned his head to look and saw an old man in ragged clothes shaking his head and sighing, and a young man next to him helped him into the city.
"Grandpa, do you think we can go back to the village?" asked the boy.
"It should be, I heard that the county master has already reported to the court, and the court will invite the immortals at that time, as long as the immortals get rid of the devil, we can go back." The old man touched the young man's head dotingly, and then the two walked into the city together.
If you don't give up your heart, report to the immortals to get rid of the demon, is it Cao Rui?
"Hey, that kid, what are you doing there, hurry up, go in if you want, don't get in the way. At the gate, a soldier who seemed to be the leader of the team was stunned when he saw that he was not abandoning the city gate, and immediately shouted.
Don't give up and be stunned, since entering the cultivation realm, no one has spoken to him in such a tone for a long time, but if you don't give up, you don't get angry, the world of the two is different, and now you don't give up looking at that armor like an ant, and you don't have the heart to be angry at all. Without giving up or hesitating, he strode into the city.
Bu Qi walked into the city, looked wide, but did not find the grandfather and grandson at the city gate, Bu Qi touched his chin, and decided to find an inn to live in, and then look for them, to see if they said that the demon was the object of their mission.
I didn't give up and found an inn to live in, but fortunately, I traveled to the territory of Yue before I entered the sect, and I had some scattered silver on my body, otherwise I might have to sleep on the streets.
When he came to the room, he suddenly felt a little hungry in his stomach, and when he was about to take out a hunger-resistant pill and take it, he changed his attention again, and he suddenly wanted to taste worldly food.
Out of the inn, do not abandon to the largest restaurant in the dock city, a product building, now it is not yet the time to eat at noon, there are not many guests to eat, this is not to give up is also happy to see, do not give up is to like a quieter place.
"What do you eat, this guest officer? Xiao Er saw that he didn't give up and came in, so he immediately walked up and welcomed.
"Find me a window spot on the second floor, and put some of the signs on your restaurant. He said lightly.
"Okay, guest officer, please. Xiao Er heard that he did not give up the random order, and immediately smiled, such a guest is best served, and the consumption is high.
Don't give up followed Xiao Er to the second floor, Xiao Er went down and ordered the kitchen to cook, and the meal was served in a short time.
"Guest, your dish. Xiao Er put those dishes on the table one by one, took out a pot of wine and put it in his hand and said: "This is the bamboo leaf green treasured by this store, you can taste it." ”
"Well, you go down. He nodded and opened the little two.
Seeing the dazzling array of dishes on the wine table, he didn't give up his index fingers, first tasted it, nodded with satisfaction, and then picked up the pot of wine and poured out a glass. The pale green liquor is poured into the glass, and a faint fragrance hits the nose.
Bu gave up smelling the fragrance, his eyes lit up, and he picked up the wine glass and drank it.
"Good wine is good wine, it's a pity. Bu Qi looked at the empty wine glass and sighed: "It's a pity that it's just ordinary wine, I can only satisfy my hunger after drinking it."
It didn't help me in my cultivation at all. ”
Now I don't give up and want to drink the peach blossom wine that Chu Rufeng invited in the sect before, it is delicious and can help my cultivation more or less.
"If I have the chance, I will definitely brew some spirit wine to drink. "Don't give up thinking in your heart.
After he was full of wine and food, he began to wander around the city, wanting to see if there was Cao Rui in the city, or news about Cao Rui.
After walking around the city for a day, he found nothing except for one or two monks who were refining qi at the third or fourth level.
Don't give up a little helpless to return to the inn, planning to go to some mixed places tomorrow to see, there is the place where the most information circulates, maybe there will be an unexpected harvest, by the way, go to find the grandfather and grandson, see if you can get any news from it.
I didn't give up and went back to the inn Meimei slept well, and woke up early the next morning and walked towards the famous gambling house in the city. The gambling house was chaotic, there were all kinds of characters of fishermen and chefs, and all kinds of smells were particularly bad and unpleasant.
And none of the people inside couldn't stand it, but in this case, they all red-eyed and shouted: "Xiaoxiaoxiao!"
I can't stand it, these gamblers only care about the size of the table, and no one chats.
In desperation, he had no choice but to go to the place where the refugees lived in the west of the city.
Don't give up listening to the people of the inn said, I don't know why in recent times, there are a lot of refugees outside the city, and it is not caused by natural disasters, I heard those refugees say that there seems to be a devil, to a place where there are people is a massacre, to a place is a massacre, over time people are panicked, people from those villages outside the city have rushed to the city, and the county magistrate in the city has also sent people to investigate, but nothing has been found, and several official lives have been lost.
Although I don't know about it, I always feel that this demon should be Cao Rui, because the reason why Cao Rui is on the wanted list is to slaughter mortals.
When I came to the place where the refugees lived in the west of the city, the smell was not much better than that of the gambling house, and the smell was terrible. Don't give up frowning, cover your mouth and nose a little and walk in.
The place where the refugees slept at night was nothing more than some tattered tents, with many patches on them, wandering around with blank eyes, and when they saw the arrival of the refugees, they did not dare to face it squarely, and they did not abandon it wherever they went.
He glanced at it, and when he saw the frightened eyes around him, he didn't say much, and walked straight to the depths.
"Bring it to you!" A vicious voice came into Buqi's ears, and Buqi turned his head to look, and saw a strong, ragged man fighting with an old man who was also wearing tattered clothes for something.
"This uncle, I begged for this cake with great difficulty, my grandson is hungry, can you let us go, I'm begging for a filial piety to you." The old man grabbed a bitten cake in his hand, and begged for mercy from the stout man on his knees, and next to him knelt a crying young man.
"you, Lao Tzu has been hungry for two days, and today Lao Tzu will eat this cake. The stout man gasped and said viciously.
The old man looked at the crowd around him for help, and people's eyes greedily looked at the bread in the old man's hand, but when they saw the eyes of the watchers, they cowered and dodged, obviously afraid of the strong man.
"Get out of the way!" The stout man also saw the frightened gazes around him, and his heart was even more bold, and he kicked the old man away, picked up the piece of bread and ate it in large pieces.
"Grandpa!" The young man cried out heartbreakingly when he saw the old man being kicked away.
There was a fire in his eyes, his fingers moved, and a piece was placed in his hand
The stone of the heart flew out in an instant, hitting the waist of the strong man, and the man's waist was hit by the non-abandonment, plus he had not eaten for a few days, the whole person was already weak, and he was beaten out by the stone that did not give up, and the cake he had eaten before was also spit out.
Although he was hit hard, the man did not try to find out the murderer, and lay on the ground and continued to eat the bread that he spit out.
Without giving up his brows, he didn't have the intention of continuing to fight the strong man, and walked in front of the grandson.
"Old man, are you alright? Thinking of the way the refugees looked at him, he smiled as kindly as he could, but the effect was obviously not very good.
"I'm sorry for this son, we'll leave right away. When the old man saw that he was squatting down, his face changed, and he struggled in fear, trying to pull his grandson out of here. But the old man's body was already weak, and he was kicked hard by the strong man, and the old man just supported himself for a while, and then fell to the ground again.
"Grandpa!" The boy cried, and he didn't know what to do, so he could only cry helplessly.
"I'm sorry Childe, I really don't have the strength to move around, please forgive our grandson. The old man stopped the boy from crying, and he helped himself up, and then pleaded with him.
"Don't worry, I'm not driving you, I have a few questions for you. He said.
"Childe, please speak, I will tell you everything I know. The old man was a little happy and hurriedly said.
"Wait a minute, you're not in a good state, I'll take you to eat something first, let's talk while eating. Bu gave up a glance at their grandson and said with a smile.
When the old man heard what he said, he showed a trace of hesitation, in the past, people like those who did not abandon in front of him were generally people who drove them out, and a bad thing was a beating, and now he suddenly wanted to take them to eat, and the old man felt a little uneasy in his heart.
However, looking at the smile on his face, his heart was also a little settled, and after thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and agreed.
The smile on his face was even stronger, and he took the two of them to find a restaurant at random and ordered a dish for them to eat and drink, but if he didn't give up, he only drank a cup of tea.
The young man couldn't help but swallow when he first saw these meals, and looked at his grandfather, and the old man's eyes did not leave the dinner table, but he looked at him again when he thought of it.
Bu said with a smile: "You're welcome, you can eat and drink as much as you want, and order it if it's not enough." ”
After getting the promise of not giving up, the grandfather and grandson were happy, eating and drinking in a big gulp, and after a while, the table was a mess.
He smiled and watched them eat and drink, and didn't say anything, thinking that he would have to ask them some questions later.
"Hiccup"
After the boy finished eating, he burped contentedly, and his pale face was also a little bloody.
He looked at the plates on the table that had been cleaned, then looked at the old man, and said, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
"I'm full, thank you so much. The old man was grateful, and he pulled his grandson and wanted to kneel down.
Bu Qi hurriedly grabbed the two of them, sat them down and said, "I don't need your thanks, you just need to answer me a few questions." ”
The old man's face was straight, and he said, "Engong, please speak." ”
"It's very simple, first, where are you from, why did you come to live in the city, even if you can't eat, you have to live here?" asked Bu Qi.
"Alas, Engong doesn't know, and we are forced to do this helplessly. The old man's eyes were red, and he said with a crying voice: "Who wants to leave the land where they grew up, but this is really no way." ”
