Peach Blossom Village, the land is under the jurisdiction of Huzhou, and is located in the extreme south, where the jungle is dense, mostly small mountain villages, there are few big cities, but there is a big city thousands of miles away, called Linhai City.

The city occupies the main sea communication route, itself located in the upper reaches of the South China Sea, while the west side is the mouth of the West Sea.

Linhai City has a superior geographical location, convenient land and water, and prosperous commerce, attracting people from all over the world to come here for business, business, practice and exploration.

Before Xu Qingfeng arrived at Lingtai Cave, he had never been out of Mojiazhuang, let alone a big city like Linhai City, and he had never even been to a small town in his hometown, I heard that Linhai City had fifty or sixty thousand troops stationed in the army alone, and there were countless ordinary people.

Such a big city, for people like Xu Qingfeng who have never seen the world, has long been fascinated.

After knowing that Linhai City belonged to Huzhou, and it was the second largest city in Huzhou, Xu Qingfeng was even more impatient to go to Linhai City.

Not for the prosperity of Linhai City, but for the mother's family feud, to see if you can find some clues left back then, not to take revenge, mainly to inquire if there are any displaced clansmen, the mother will never forget to be separated from relatives, and there has been no news since.

Now he can only temporarily find relatives for his mother, and as for revenge, he can only find the culprit when he has the strength.

Haruoshui has returned, bringing with him the disturbing news that four villages have disappeared into thin air on the way to Linhai City.

In fact, it is not the whole village that has disappeared, but the people and poultry in the village have all disappeared, and some families still have intact meals and soup in pots, but people have disappeared for no reason.

If it weren't for the caravans who bought mountain goods and the hunters who hunted and stumbled upon this unbelievable thing, I'm afraid no one would have known that there were four villages missing in this world.

Chun Ruoshui guessed that it was the people from those four villages who were taken away by the evil monks, just like the demon beasts attacked Peach Blossom Village some time ago, but Peach Blossom Village escaped the catastrophe, but all of this was just speculation, and no clues were found, including the clues to attack Peach Blossom Village.

After a few days, Xu Qingfeng decided to go to Linhai City and let Chun Ruoshui draw a road map for himself.

Linhai City is divided into four inner cities, southeast, northwest and northwest, the east city is inhabited by dignitaries and cultivators, the south city gathers merchants from all over the world, the north city is the local ordinary people, and the west city is a mixture of fish and dragons, there are everyone, the most are the poor people, who stay in the west every day, waiting for the nobles of other cities to be hired, so as to fill the stomach of the day.

Xu Qingfeng consciously chose Xicheng, although he could kill Jiaolong, he never regarded himself as a cultivator, not to mention Dongcheng, where cultivators haunted, the price there could only make him ashamed.

Before Xu Qingfeng came to Haicheng, Chun Ruoshui had already explained some places in Linhai City that needed special attention.

Xu Qingfeng was outside the city, taking out all the beast skins that Shilijian had killed, packing them and carrying them on his back, like a living Orion boy.

There is a Sihai Pavilion in the city, there are shops in the east, west, north and south cities, known as the guests welcome the four seas, the goods are shipped out of all directions, the goods are bought and sold all over the world, and the price is fair, and the children are not bullied.

Xu Qingfeng walked into the Sihai Pavilion, as soon as he explained his intentions, the two guys stepped forward with a smile, led Xu Qingfeng to the private room in the inner room, and enthusiastically helped him remove the fur on his body, and finally invited him to drink tea on the table next to him, waiting for the steward who inspected the goods to inspect the goods.

There are a total of one hundred and fifty furs, and each one is in good condition, but none of them are new, they are all old skins, so they are not of high value.

The steward sincerely apologized and told Xu Qingfeng that these furs from Shilijian were not worth much at all.

"Young man, the skin is a good skin, but it has been left for too long, it has lost its luster, and it has lost some hair, so it is only worth ten taels of silver. If you don't believe me, you can take the leather and go to another store, but seeing that you are still a child, I will say a few more words. ”

"Be careful when you go to other shops, maybe they will give you a high price in person, but behind the scenes, they will take back the money they paid you, if you are an adult, you don't need to worry, but you are still a child!"

"Alas, it's a pity, if I had brought it earlier, the price would have multiplied tenfold. Do you have any new fur at home? If there is, I can give you a satisfactory price, you can rest assured, we are a century-old shop, in this waterfront city is famous for the children's undeceived. ”

Looking up and seeing that Xu Qingfeng didn't speak, he hurriedly said: "You think about it first, don't make a decision in a hurry, you can also take it to other stores to try it first, but if the price is too high, you have to be careful." ”

Xu Qingfeng is the first time to do business with people face-to-face, and he doesn't know the price in the market, but it is rare to have such an adult, who enthusiastically talks to himself for so long, and not only is he kind, but also thinks about himself everywhere, so he is still quite satisfied with the price, after all, these furs have been stored for two or three years.

Xu Qingfeng decided to sell the furs to Sihai Pavilion on the spot, "Okay! These furs will be sold to your family." ”

The steward happily patted his thigh and complimented: "Oh! What a shrewd little brother, who knows that he has to deal with reputable big shops to do business, so that he will not suffer." ”

Xu Qingfeng was a little embarrassed to be praised, scratched the back of his head and asked casually: "I don't know what kind of purchase price your store's demon beast skin is?"

The steward's eyes lit up, and he grabbed Xu Qingfeng with both hands and asked eagerly, "Do you have a demon beast skin?"

Xu Qingfeng actually suddenly remembered the iron-armored pangolin that he had killed, so he asked so casually, but after saying it, he regretted it a little, because the skin of the iron-armored pangolin had been put away by Chun Ruoshui, including the dragon skin and other demon beast skins, the same is true.

After Xu Qingfeng heard the steward's question, his face turned a little blushing, and he hurriedly said: "No, no, I, I just ask, ask." ”

With a look of disbelief on the steward's face, he almost ran out of the Four Seas Pavilion.

After Xu Qingfeng stepped out of the Four Seas Pavilion, the steward's face suddenly became gloomy, and then he made a look, and the two guys ran out with him.

The other whispering guys in the store asked, "Steward, is there a problem with the skins this kid sells?"

The steward snorted coldly and said: "Only this kind of fool who has never seen the world will sell fur with aura as ordinary fur, among which there are a few tiger skins, almost turning into demon beasts, I really don't know where this stupid boy got these furs, there are so many, I let people follow him, just to see where the demon beast skin he said in his mouth is placed." ”

Xu Qingfeng didn't know that the world was sinister at all, and people's hearts were not ancient, so with ten taels of silver, he was excited to take a look around Linhai City first.

Walked to a stall selling millet steamed buns, thinking that I hadn't eaten lunch yet, I paid for a few millet steamed buns, but just after a few bites, I felt that I seemed a little stupid, this millet steamed buns are dry and coarse, generally eat two mouthfuls of steamed buns, drink a sip of water, but now there is no water prepared at all, a few mouthfuls of steamed buns down, it is stuck in the throat, up and down, very uncomfortable.

"Hey, the kid said you, what do you see. ”

Xu Qingfeng was choked and rolled his eyes, and when he wanted to look around for the tea shop, he found that there was a middle-aged man on the opposite side who was leaning on the luxury, yelling at himself, he pointed at himself in amazement, and some Zhanger King Kong was confused, and he didn't know what he had done wrong.

The middle-aged man came over angrily and scolded, "What do you mean, is there anyone else here? It's cheap for you today, if it weren't for the lack of manpower, who would find a young and thin child like you to work, then the main family won't die......"

Xu Qingfeng then understood that people regarded themselves as coolies waiting to be hired, but this also couldn't be blamed on others, who called himself dressed in animal skin clothes, and there was a wood like a flat pole hanging on his body, who would not mistake him for a coolie when he saw it.

He didn't want to pay attention to this middle-aged man, but he didn't expect the middle-aged man to scold again: "Hungry ghost reincarnated! I don't even drink a sip of water, so I stuff the millet bun into my mouth, are you a fool after all? I don't know if you will choke to death? If you are not stupid, come with me, see if there is a tea shop in front of you, and help you buy a bowl of water first, so as not to choke to death." ”

Xu Qingfeng hurriedly shook his head, proving that he was not stupid, and agreed to go with the middle-aged man in a slurred voice.

I didn't expect that there were so many good people in Linhai City, first I met the kind steward in Sihai City, and now I met a kind passer-by, who not only bought water for himself, but also took himself to make money, Xu Qingfeng felt that the luck of this day was really good, and he went out to meet nobles everywhere.

As everyone knows, the steward of the Four Seas Pavilion in Xu Qingfeng's mouth is regretting that he couldn't forcibly leave Xu Qingfeng behind just now, according to the report of the guy who came back, Xu Qingfeng has already followed the steward of the City Lord's Mansion away, and now there is no chance to continue to follow.

The middle-aged man took Xu Qingfeng to a clearing, where there were already seventy or eighty people dressed in tatters, all of whom were carrying a flat shoulder on their backs like Xu Qingfeng, and there were a few other people dressed as servants next to them.

There was a simple uncle in the crowd, who saw Xu Qingfeng's cheeks, which were propped up into two small bags by the millet buns, his eyes kept rolling, and he was busy untying a bamboo tube from his waist and handing it over.

"Young man, drink saliva first, don't choke. ”

Xu Qingfeng took a sip of water, and finally sent the millet bun down to his stomach, and let out a long breath before thanking: "Thank you for this uncle." ”

"Don't be polite, young man, my surname is Chen, what's the young man's surname?"

"Boy, my surname is Xu, my name is Qingfeng, Uncle Chen calls me Qingfeng. Uncle Chen, where are we going?"

"Go to the lodge outside the city and move the stuff from there to the docks. ”

"What are you moving? So many people, please. ”

"Qingfeng, don't ask more, the main family doesn't like troubled people, when the time comes, we can move whatever we want, just bring the strength to go, not to mention that this time the salary is rich, but fifty yuan, it takes two months on weekdays to earn so much, this is the family's expenses......"

Xu Qingfeng remembered Uncle Chen's teachings, only with strength, closed his mouth, forgot what he saw in his eyes, and followed the team silently.

At dusk, the main family provided some millet steamed buns for free, which immediately attracted the favor of everyone, and they praised the main family for accumulating virtue and doing good.

The road ahead seemed to have no end, and the trees on both sides were getting taller and thicker, and the knotted and protruding roots in the darkness were like all kinds of monsters lurking in the forest, with tentacles open, waiting for their prey.

Overhead, the night owls were screaming, and the people were silent, and there were no torches, but they walked on their heels in the darkness, like ghosts walking in the netherworld.

I don't know how long I walked, only to notice a starry light flickering in the distance.
