Chapter 11: Robbery?
Rock Gravel Villa is famous, and there are few knights in the rivers and lakes who do not seek a sharp blade, so naturally no one dares to come to find trouble; moreover, although the villa is mainly used for sword casting, it is quite accomplished in swordsmanship, and the famous swordsmen in the rivers and lakes in the past hundred years are all from the second, not to mention that the creator of the villa is a man who is worshiped as a sword god. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoTherefore, there are no thieves burning and looting in the field of the mountain villa, and there are no wanderers fighting and killing, and the mountain villa itself is also willing to take in the people who come to defect, so a small town is gradually formed at the foot of the mountain.
The people of the town are greatly favored by the villa, and every time they mention it, they are smiling.
As soon as Nian Jiang and his entourage stepped into the gate of the town, the first thing they felt was its happy, peaceful and lively atmosphere. The people with peaceful faces, the young knights with long swords chatting and laughing in the streets, the shouts of the hawkers, and the sound of singing in the distance. Through the gaps of the houses, you can also see a river behind you, and the elegant pavilions and corridors by the river have a different style.
"Now that we're here, I'm going to leave first. I hope to see you here tomorrow morning. Qian Xianchong hugged hands with the three of them and said.
"Good. Yang Che nodded.
Seeing Qian Xian gradually disappear in the crowd, Nian Jiang rubbed his forehead and said to Bai Jike and the others: "I'll go find a medical hall and buy something." ”
"Give me the medicine kit. Bai Jike said, stretched out his hand to make a gesture to pick it up, a little worried look appeared on his face, and continued, "Let's go together." ”
"You better follow us to find the inn first, otherwise how will you find us, you see, there are so many people who have come to this place these days, we will have to look for the inn for a long time. Yang Che said, scanning the place incessantly.
"That's good. Nian Jiang couldn't resist Bai Jike's movements, so he had to let go of his hand, and the medicine box was hugged by Bai Jike and carried on his back.
"Don't worry, you won't knock. Bai Jike said and patted the box gently, "I've carried a bookcase when I'm so big, but I haven't carried a medicine box." It doesn't feel like it's much different from a normal box. ”
"Of course, it's quite cheap to buy, and save money to change it for a good one in the future. Nian Jiang said with a smile.
A few people walked into the crowd, and some young men on the road noticed their combination and couldn't help but look at it.
Yang Che looked like a scholar, holding a folding fan, but his bearing was more like a Jianghu person; needless to say, Bai Jike was holding a short knife and playing with the medicine box in his hand, and everyone couldn't help but guess that this could be a martial arts doctor; Nian Jiang's words...... His face was pale, sickly, and thin, and he looked obviously a sick person.
The young people who come here at this time are almost all coming for the identity of the Ye family's son-in-law, some are watching dramas, some want to marry a daughter-in-law, and some want to attract attention...... It can be said that the young people here are all opponents, and it is normal to take a look at them at this time.
However, what Yang Che said is really right, because people often come to ask for knives, there are more inns in the town, but in the past two days, a large number of young heroes or people who come to watch the show have poured in, and the inns have been filled.
The three of them walked from the street to the end of the street, changed streets a few more times, and finally found an inn that looked a little deserted after an hour. But just by looking at the location, you can know that this inn is in a remote alley, and there is a coffin seller in front, so it's strange that there are many people who come.
Surprisingly, though, the store was almost full.
"Yo, exactly, there are two more rooms. The shopkeeper smiled and said, "One penny a night." ”
"It's so expensive!" Bai Jike's eyes widened, just this small dilapidated shop, the signboard at the door was in tatters, the inside was very dark, there were some mildew spots on the walls, and there was a strange smell in the air. "One penny of silver is enough for me to go to Tianyang City to find a good inn to live in for seven or eight days, you profiteer. ”
"Shaoxia, it's not that I'm expensive here, we're all like this here, if you don't believe it, you go outside for a walk. The shopkeeper looked at the three of them without a trace, especially on the face of Nian Jiang, who had a weak face, and paused for a long time, "Our owner said that since he came to ask for a sword sincerely, then he must reflect the word sincerity." Our town just wants to live an ordinary life, of course you young heroes from the rivers and lakes have to be entertained, one penny of silver is two upper rooms, three meals a day are necessary, and there is bath water at night, what kind of profiteers?"
"Alright, here it is. Yang Che stepped forward and said, taking out a few pieces of broken silver from his waist bag.
Nian Jiang next to him was getting more and more depressed and irritable, he just wanted to find a place to rest and sleep quickly, or go to sleep after buying medicine and eating it in one go. In a trance, he seemed to see some points of light in front of him, and he shook his head and was held up.
"Just live here, Xiao Jiang, can you?" Yang Che's voice came from beside him, Nian Jiang nodded indiscriminately, and said, "I'll go buy medicine." I don't know if Yang Che heard it, Nian Jiang hung his head and turned around and walked out, ignoring Bai Jike's suspicious shouts behind him.
"Forget it, just let him go, and you'll give him the things when he comes back. Yang Che said.
"Oh well. Bai Jike hugged the medicine box tightly.
Let's talk about Nianjiang's side.
I don't know if I can finally have a targeted action, and I can rest later, the moment I walked out of the inn door, Nian Jiang felt that his brain was a lot refreshed.
Walking out along the wall, Nian Jiang identified the direction, checked the money, and walked towards the medicinal herb store he had just noticed.
Nian Jiang, whose vigilance was about to be disintegrated by his physical state, didn't notice that there was a pair of eyes that had been staring at him since he stepped out of the corner, especially when he was inspecting his belongings, those eyes were almost bursting out.
"Dude, I see that your hands and feet are weak, do you want to go next door and let Dr. Zhou take a look?" the little brother from the medicinal herb shop couldn't help but say when he weighed Nian Jiang's medicine.
"No need. Nian Jiang smiled, "How much silver?"
"Hey five dollars - it's a little expensive, but the medicinal materials you bought are already expensive, buddy, it's rare. I said, you really don't have to look at it?" said the little brother enthusiastically, wrapping his hands and feet neatly.
Nian Jiang suddenly asked, "Is there a medicine stove or anything like that?"
"Yes, five cents for an hour, what's the matter, is it possible that buddy, you are a doctor?" The little brother's action of packing medicine stopped, and he looked at Nian Jiang with a surprised face, "It's strange that I have to go to see the doctor." ”
"Yes. Nian Jiang nodded, "Can you take me there?"
"Yes, I still have a job here, you see, there are people in the back. Do you see the curtain? Go over to it, and you can go in and talk to the old man in charge. The little brother said, smiling and putting the medicine on a plate and handing it to Nian Jiang.
"Thank you. Nian Jiang paid, took the plate and walked towards the curtain.
"These sons are really rich. The little brother shook the money in his hand, muttered, and took the medicine in the hands of the person behind him with a smile.
Nian Jiang opened the curtain and walked in, and saw one small cubicle after another, and a sweltering heat came directly to his face, followed by bursts of medicinal fragrance. An old man saw him come in with a plate, and after collecting the money, he took him into one of the compartments.
"Master, there are a lot of people here?" Nian Jiang looked at the appearance of people in the other compartments, and chatted with the old man very usually.
"Isn't this our Zhuangzi recruiting relatives, some healers also came, I really don't know if it's for refining medicine or for those young heroes. The old man looked around and whispered to Nian Jiang, after all, Nian Jiang gave him an extra penny just now.
"That's no wonder. Nian Jiang smiled, he looked around the cubicle, and said with some satisfaction, "It's good here." ”
"Of course. The old man smiled and withdrew.
This small cubicle can only stand five adult men at most, and there is a small medicine pod and some utensils in it, if everything is laid out, then people have to stand, Nian Jiang feels that standing is the best posture for refining medicine, and the effect of the cubicle here is very good, so he is very satisfied.
"Fortunately, the silver needles are all on me, so it's better to finish it first and wait until I go back, and the time period will pass, and I can rest directly. Nian Jiang muttered, and went around to the medicine tripod and started work.
The sun was setting in the west, and the cubicle was getting hotter and hotter.
Nian Jiang closed his eyes and slowly exhaled. He was quiet for a few breaths before he opened his eyes and began to pack his things, and when he got out of the cubicle, he felt very cool on his body, and it turned out that he was sweating in it.
After saying hello to the people in the store, Nian Jiang walked on the way back to the inn.
After taking the medicine and applying the needle, he was refreshed, and Nian Jiang was in the mood to look at this place while walking, and even the spicy heat of the sun did not damage the slightest enthusiasm.
The high and low eaves, the dusty lanterns, and the lively crowd below, the dashing young men and the people carrying wine jugs can be seen everywhere.
Nian Jiang walked all the way, and suddenly felt that someone had been peeking at him, and he followed him wherever he went, and his heart turned, Nian Jiang turned around and walked into the alley next to him.
The alley is a bit long, and there is a relatively high grass pile in the distance, and there is a board cart underneath, and no one has been seen.
Nian Jiang walked halfway through, and said with a very distressed look: "Eh, didn't you go here? I remember the wrong way?" he slapped his palm and continued to be distressed.
Sure enough, there was the sound of squirming footsteps behind him, Nian Jiang hooked the corners of his mouth, and in the next second, a knife stabbed from behind, his shoulder was restrained, and the blade stopped on his throat.
"......" Nian Jiang didn't say a word, and the people behind him pulled his arm and wanted to twist to subdue him, but after seeing the bandage on Nian Jiang's shoulder, he stopped the car in time, and all that was left was the short knife on his neck. originally wanted to teach this person a lesson, but this change made Nian Jiang embarrassed to start, and the anger in his heart disappeared a little.
"Boy, stay to buy road money, uncle, I will spare your dog's life. Someone behind him whispered, and the warm breath hit Nian Jiang's neck directly, making Nian Jiang feel that something was strange.
