The deal was over, and Yun was asked to return to the coffin shop in the same carriage that had come. There are not many clues, but it is better than nothing, but the price makes him feel a pain for a while.

Now that you have the target cloud and decided to leave Tongjiang early tomorrow morning, you may as well take a stroll around the city now for half a day. After all, there aren't many cities I've been to, so it's good to see them.

After only one hour of wandering, the clouds are boring, and behind the prosperity of the big city are high prices and extravagant and useless goods. For example, the Shenbing Building, which I just came out, is said to be a store specializing in custom-made weapons for customers, and it is also famous in Tongjiang.

Yun has always wanted to find a weapon to take advantage of, so he was also attracted here. But at first glance, I was very disappointed, the weapons here are indeed exquisitely made, and even a little luxurious. The hilts and sheaths of many swords are inlaid with precious stones. But the weapon itself has also been deliberately lightened, becoming thinner and more delicate. Although it is easy to carry and more beautiful, it is also more vulnerable in the eyes of insiders. Yun felt that the firewood knife he used to use to go up the mountain to chop wood could cut it in two. What's even more outrageous is that most of the weapons are not bladed, probably for fear that some brainless broadmen will inadvertently hurt others or themselves. In a word, these weapons are for the rich to pretend, and they are not as practical as a kitchen knife.

"Little brother, do you want to buy a weapon?

As soon as he walked out of the store, he was stopped by a girl, a girl of seventeen or eighteen. The round face and cheeks are slightly flushed, and there is a small dimple on one side. The two big eyes are dark and bright, revealing cleverness. Her long black hair is braided into dozens of small braids, which looks very playful. He is tall and has a healthy wheat skin. Dressed in green clothes and trousers, there are a lot of flowers, birds, fish and insects embroidered on them, which are very delicate. There are also two strings of small bells in each hand, and there is a youthful and lively atmosphere around the body.

"Oh!" Looking at this obviously foreign girl, Yun Yun was also aroused: "What weapons do you have to sell?"

"Well, you can see for yourself!" The girl generously handed over a small cloth bag, which was completely shy as a Central Plains woman.

When the cloud opened, it was a small scimitar. There is no scabbard, the handle of the knife does not exceed two feet from the tip of the knife, and the jet-black blade does not reflect in the sun. After starting, it is heavier than ordinary broadswords, and the blade is very sharp.

"Good knife!" exclaimed the clouds. The knife is not outstanding in appearance, and is even a little rough. But the design is very reasonable, and although it is heavy in the hand, it is not biased. And from the material point of view, the best tungsten steel should be used. In the past few months in Jiangdu, he has been in and out of the Chamber of Commerce all day long, although he does not know how to operate, but he has gained a lot of knowledge, and he is no longer a novice who has just entered the rivers and lakes, so he recognizes that this material is produced in Miaojiang, and the texture is extremely tough, and it is also difficult to cast, and it is generally added to other materials in small quantities to increase toughness. A cutlass made entirely of tungsten steel is rare.

"Little brother, you know the goods very well! I've been here for a long time, and I've shown it to many people. They all said it didn't look good and it was too heavy. The girl saw that Yun was interested in her knife, and her two big eyes narrowed into crescent moons with a smile.

"Why sell such a good knife? And this knife should be specially made, its shape is so strange, it needs to be combined with special techniques to exert its power!"

"Oh, I can't see that you are still an expert, little brother! This knife was specially customized for me by my mother, and it is necessary to use our family knife technique to exert the greatest power. But the sword technique can't be passed on!"

After speaking, he reluctantly looked at the scimitar and said with some frustration: "No way! I didn't bring enough silver when I came out, and now I'm penniless." Xiaoxiao hadn't eaten enough for several days, and there was still a long way to go from here to Changbai Mountain, so she had to sell the full moon for some travel expenses. I just hope that the people who buy it will cherish it, even if they are not used to it, they will not melt it. ”

Seeing the girl's reluctant gaze on the knife, Yun handed it back. And being touched by the girl's loneliness and helplessness touched the heartstrings, I can't help but think of my childhood.

"This knife doesn't work well for me, so you better put it away. I have twenty taels of silver, you can use it first, it should be enough for your travel expenses. ”

"Oh, so good to me, little brother, do you have any bad intentions?" the girl laughed a little mischievous and a little cunning.

Ahem, Yun was made red-faced, and waved his hand again and again and said embarrassedly: "No! ”

Hehe, but the girl smiled generously: "Seeing that your face is red and the same as the big girl, I believe you are a good person." But how will I pay you back this money in the future?"

"Oh, I'll go to Changbai Mountain for a while, and if there's a fate, I'll meet it. ”

"Ah, you're going to Changbai Mountain too? What money are you borrowing? I'll go with you." You just have to eat and live. Don't worry, I won't eat you for nothing, I can protect you, it is said that there are many horse thieves in the generation of Changbai Mountain. Don't look at me as a girl, I'm amazing!"

"It's not convenient for us to walk together all the way!"

"Hehe, I'm not afraid of a girl, you're a big man afraid of something!" The girl smiled: "By the way, my name is Lan Xiaoxiao, sixteen years old, what is your name?"

"Cloud, after this year, I will be twenty years old"

"Then I'll call you Brother Yun from now on! Brother Yun, let's go eat first, I'm dying of hunger." Don't worry, as long as you're full, I'm not a picky eater. ”

So Yun and a little daughter-in-law seemed to be shy and dragged away by the generous girl.

Xiaoxiao is really not a picky eater as she said, and she is very satisfied with a meal of steamed buns on the street with Yunyun. Seven or eight big buns went down, and Xiaoxiao was also full, so he opened the chatterbox. Telling interesting stories about her hometown, what she saw and heard on the road, chirping like a happy lark, most of the time she was listening to the clouds.

After half an hour, Yun basically figured out that Xiaoxiao was from Sichuan and Shu, and his family should be very powerful. This time, I don't know what happened to her mother, so she ran away from home in a fit of anger and never went far away. Because I was in a hurry and didn't have much experience in traveling, I didn't bring enough fares.

At first, it was okay, and I followed a Han caravan from Sichuan and Shu to Jiangnan. Everyone sees that she is young, beautiful and sweet-mouthed, and takes good care of her. So she came all the way to the mountains and rivers.

But since the fight in Jiangnan and the caravan were separated and went on the road alone, life has not been so comfortable, there are three religions and nine streams along the way, and seeing that she is young and beautiful alone, some people have crooked thoughts. Fortunately, her kung fu is good and clever, but it also allowed her to cross the Yangtze River and come to Jiangbei without danger.

But the next problem is that there is no more travel money. Although she was educated since childhood, she disdained to steal and rob, so she had to sell her belongings. After the small amount of jewelry was exchanged for food, the only way to sell knives was to sell them, so I met the clouds.

The reason why she wants to go to Changbai Mountain is because her grandfather went to Changbai Mountain more than ten years ago because of an important matter, but he has disappeared since then. For more than ten years, the clansmen have searched and inquired in many ways to no avail, so they have long believed that it should have fallen. Although Xiaoxiao also thinks that there is little hope of finding his grandfather, the trouble encountered this time is too tricky, and it needs to be solved by a weighty character in the clan. In her memory, her grandfather loved her very much, so he did not hesitate to come thousands of miles to find her. She didn't say what the specific trouble was, and Yun Yun didn't ask much, after all, everyone has their own ** and secrets.

The well-fed little heart stretched her waist with satisfaction, revealing her curves. Covering his little mouth, he yawned.

"If you're full, you'll be sleepy!Brother Yun, let's go sleep at the inn where you live!"

Feeling the strange gazes of the diners around him, there is a black line in the clouds. I knew that this girl didn't mean anything else, but I couldn't find someone to explain one by one, so I had to pick up Xiaoxiao and run away.

As soon as they got out of the bun stall, the two of them were surrounded by several young people, and they saw that these people were all brightly dressed and wore different styles of jade pendants around their waists. Although the weather has gradually cooled, there are still a few people who are still shaking their fans elegantly. The other people still had swords hanging from their waists, but looking at their vague steps, it was obvious that they were used for façade.

The leader was dressed in white and looked quite handsome. But the pale face and slightly sunken bloodshot eyes spoil the beauty, and at first glance it is excessive wine.

"This is the woman you're talking about?" he asked, turning to a lewd-looking young man beside him. "Sure enough, it's a bit of a gesture!"

"Yes, Young Master Wang. I saw her when I went to the Divine Soldier Building to get my sword, so I'm going to send you a letter!" Lewd youth flattering smile.

"Well, you have a heart. Forget about my gambling debts. ”

"Thank you Wang Shao! thank you Wang Shao!" the obscene young man smiled.

"Dare to ask Miss Fang's name, how old is it?" The man known as Wang Shao pretended to smile at Xiao Xiao with eagerness in his eyes. The ordinary cloud next to him was not taken into his eyes at all.

"Hehe, it's rude to ask a girl's age on the street!" Xiaoxiao smiled with big sly eyes. The gaze that looked at the man in white was equally eager, but it was definitely not appreciation, but the joy of seeing the wronged man.

"Oh, it's Ben Shao's abruptness! rude and rude!" Seeing that Xiaoxiao was very good, Wang Dashao laughed: "I don't know if Miss can enjoy the light and go to the restaurant opposite for a get-together!"

"Oh, okay! But I'm going with my brother!" Xiao Xiao happily agreed. Just a hand behind his back made a subtle gesture towards the clouds.

"Okay, Miss, please. Seeing that Xiaoxiao agreed happily, Wang Shao was already overjoyed. I didn't suspect Yun, the brother who was obviously incompatible with Xiaoxiao, regardless of his appearance and clothes.

Although he didn't know what Xiaoxiao's intentions were, Yun also knew that she was not a frivolous person, and he really didn't have any pressure in the face of these gentlemen, and he was curious about what Xiaoxiao was going to do, so he didn't object. So the brother and sister were surrounded by a group of sons and brothers into the luxury restaurant across the street.
