When Xie Kun and Qian Baimo walked into the weapon shop, the shopkeeper just glanced at the two of them, and then ignored the two and continued to look through the books in their hands, but Xie Kun stepped forward without care, took out a piece from his arms and put it in front of the counter and said: "Lu Youren of the Yunshan faction in Xia Tianling County, this is my junior brother Mo Youren." ”

When the shopkeeper heard this, he lazily closed the book in his hand, and then groped around from the counter and found a booklet with "Tianling County" written on it, then opened the booklet to find a page of Yunshan faction, and then compared the image in the booklet with the token on the counter, and confirmed that the lines on it were the same, then closed the booklet and pointed to the sword rack on the left and said: "The sword weapons are all there, you can choose for yourself." ”

Xie Kun then put away the token on the counter, casually selected a long sword with an inferior leather scabbard and a short sword with the same scabbard from the sword stand, then walked back to the counter, put the two swords on the counter, paid a silver coin and 15 bills of exchange for 100 copper coins, and then picked up the pen next to him and wrote on the paper "Tianling County Yunshan Sect Lu Youren" and "Tianling County Yunshan Sect Mo Youhan" respectively, and finally took out two sword spikes embroidered with Lu Youren and Mo Youwang respectively from his belt and put them on the counter.

The shopkeeper first confirmed that the silver coins and bills of exchange were correct, and then he shouted inside, and then a shirtless muscular man opened the door curtain and walked out, walked to the counter and skillfully picked up the weapons, notes, and sword spikes on it and returned to the back of the curtain, and then heard a clanging sound from behind, and after a while, the muscular man walked out again with two long and short swords that had been tied with sword spikes, and threw them back behind the curtain after throwing them at the counter.

Xie Kun looked unsurprised, picked up the long sword and took out the scabbard to check, only to see that on the side of the sword body not far from the top of the sword grid, the small words "Lu Youren of Yunshan Sect of Tianling County" were clearly engraved, and at the same time, the sword body was not deformed or damaged because of the lettering, so he was satisfied with putting the long sword into the sheath and checking the short sword in the same way.

The shopkeeper on the side of the counter, after Xie Kun handed over the checked short sword to Qian Baimo, he took out a palm-sized leather cloth and a square box the size of a fingernail from the counter behind him and put it in front of Xie Kun and said: "This is a sword cloth and sword cream presented by the small store, if the guest officer is satisfied, it can be purchased under the chain name of our store in other places." ”

"Thank you, shopkeeper. After Xie Kun put away all the items, he held the scabbard in his hand and bowed politely to the shopkeeper, and then led Qian Baimo to turn around and leave the weapon shop.

After the two walked out of the door, Xie Kun took Qian Baimo to the quiet place around the corner, and then squatted down to teach Qian Baimo how to tie a sword at his waist, and after Qian Baimo and others learned how to tie a sword, untie a sword and draw a sword at his waist, he couldn't help but ask curiously: "Uncle Xie, why is it so troublesome to buy a weapon here and ask a sect token and a lettering on the sword." ”

"Mainly after the law change incident fifty years ago, the Dou Xiu Association considered the danger of the battle in the rivers and lakes, so it proposed the Dou Xiu control and hunter system, because the Xiaoyang Empire is close to the two orc empires, so this kind of control and system has replaced the old-fashioned rivers and lakes; After Xie Kun finished explaining, he got up and looked at Xia Qian Baimo, and then clapped his hands and said with satisfaction: "Okay, let's start the second step of our journey to the rivers and lakes, drinking tea." After speaking, Xie Kun took Qian Baimo's hand and walked towards the fenced inn.

"Hey, Xiao Er, why hasn't my beef been served yet!"

"You're saying it again!"

......

At this time, Qian Baimo, who had just arrived at the door of the fenced inn, heard all kinds of mixed shouts and scolding from inside, and for Qian Baimo, who was in contact with this scene for the first time, he couldn't help frowning lightly and feeling timid.

"It's fine. And Xie Kun felt a slight tremor in the palm of Qian Baimo's palm, and picked up Qian Baimo and whispered in his ear: "These people are just gutless bandits in the rivers and lakes, so they can only rely on whose voice is louder." ”

"Hmm. Under Xie Kun's comfort, Qian Baimo slowly regained his composure, and looked around the inn in Xie Kun's arms.

"Yo, two guest officers. At this time, a junior second quickly walked out and smiled at Xie Kun: "Is this a sharp point or a hotel?"

"My junior brother is tired, so let me live on the second floor in a secluded place to rest. Xie Kun said as he hugged Qian Baimo with one hand, and with the other hand took out a copper coin from his belt and threw it to Xiao Er.

"Okay. Xiao Er, who took the copper coin, immediately led the way forward with a smile;"Smack!" After Qian Baimo entered the store, he heard the sound of smashing the table, so he hurriedly heard the voice, and saw a fierce and ruthless woman with her sleeves folded, stepping on a chair, holding a kitchen knife in one hand, and pointing at a few thick men in front of the table with the other hand and roaring.

Although because of the noisy sound in the inn, Qian Baimo didn't hear what the sturdy woman was saying, but seeing that those thick and strong men didn't dare to talk back, Qian Baimo, who saw this scene for the first time, couldn't help but look at the woman curiously.

"Guest officer, please. Just when Qian Baimo was still thinking about the sturdy woman, the shopkeeper took the two of them to the table on the second floor, and then used the rag on his shoulder to symbolically dust off the table and chairs, and stood aside to wait for Xie Kun and Qian Baimo to sit down, and then stepped forward and said with a smile: "There are high-quality beef and mutton jerky here in the shop, and half a catty only costs 30 copper coins, do you want to share it?"

"No need, give me two bowls of clear soup noodles, a plate of braised tofu, and a plate of fried vegetables, how much is it?"

"The first time the guest officer came to see it, he deducted the dimes, and the rest for a quarter of an hour was 1 copper coin, and the noodle dish was 8 copper coins. ”

"Okay. Xie Kun took out 10 copper coins from his waist and put them on the table, "Let's rest for two quarters of an hour." ”

"Okay. After Xiao Er smiled and put away the 10 copper coins, he walked to the longboard behind Xie Kun against the wall, turned the funnel placed on the long noodles upside down, and then symbolically dusted off the longboard and turned to Xie Kun and said, "Wait a minute, the two guest officers will come up soon." With that, he turned and walked quickly downstairs.

After Qian Baiyang saw Xiao Er's figure disappear at the top of the stairs, he hurriedly asked Xie Kun: "Uncle Xie, I saw the woman with a knife below just now, how could she be so undevoid of what a woman should be?"

"The woman with the knife?" Xie Kun thought about it for a while, and then replied with a chuckle: "Where is the woman from this river and lake." Hearing this, Qian Baimo's eyes looked at Xie Kun even more puzzled.

"Huh. Seeing this, Xie Kun smiled and stroked Qian Baimo's hair, and said earnestly: "In this reckless land of rivers and lakes, how many good people can make women tender, if it is not forced by life, which woman is willing to enter this rivers and lakes that I don't know where I am tomorrow." ”

"Is life forced?" Qian Baimo looked at Xie Kun's slightly sad expression, and couldn't help but think of Zhang Xiaoniang in Lijiang City, at that moment, Qian Baimo seemed to feel that the sturdy woman and Zhang Xiaoniang had the same helpless, longing and confused eyes.

Xie Kun saw that he was muttering to himself in a daze, so he pinched his little face and smiled, "What does the young master think?"

Qian Baimo, who came back to his senses with a slight pain in his cheek, rubbed his cheeks and continued to ask, "Uncle Xie, why do you say there are such rivers and lakes?"

"Why are there such rivers and lakes?" Xie Kun was stunned for a moment, then rubbed his hands on Qian Baimo's cheeks and smiled: "This answer, then wait for the young master to answer Uncle Xie in the future." ”

"Uncle Xie, don't rub it. Under Xie Kun's teasing, Qian Baimo's originally slightly gloomy mood gradually improved, so he also stretched out his hands to pull Xie Kun's nose.

In this way, the two of them laughed for a while, and then saw the shopkeeper walking quickly to the table of the two with a tray, "Two guest officers, this is the clear soup noodles, braised tofu and fried vegetables you want." The shopkeeper put the noodles away while introducing, "Okay, the two guest officers use it slowly." After saying that, the shopkeeper turned around and left in a hurry.

At this time, Qian Baimo, who had stopped playing, looked down at the clear soup noodles like noodles soaked in boiling water for a while, and then lowered his head and took a sip of soup; "It's so salty." Qian Baimo said and turned his head and spat on the ground, in order to dilute the salty and bitter taste in his mouth.

Seeing this, Xie Kun smiled evilly: "How is it, the first taste of this Jianghu is good, right?"

"Uncle Xie. After Qian Baimo felt the taste in his mouth fade slightly, he looked at Xie Kun with resentment and said, "Do all the people in the rivers and lakes grow up eating salt? Why is even a soup so salty." ”

"Of course. Xie Kun said with a smile and a pun: "There is only blood, sweat and tears in the rivers and lakes, and the taste is naturally only salty." ”

"Blood, sweat and tears?" Qian Baimo muttered to himself, looking at the noodles on the table again, "Is this the rivers and lakes they are pursuing?" Qian Baimo couldn't help but stretch out his chopsticks again, wanting to pick up a green vegetable and taste it.

"Alright. At this time, Xie Kun snatched away Qian Baimo's chopsticks and said, "Just taste the taste, we will eat in the city later; Hearing this, Qian Baimo hurriedly returned to his senses and looked at Xie Kun with anticipation on his face.

"Ahem. Looking at Qian Baimo's appearance, Xie Kun couldn't help coughing lightly, and pretended to be serious and said: "This inn will first ask you to play the tip or stay in the hotel, and if you answer the point, then you just pass by and want to inquire about some news." Xie Kun said and looked at the wine cabinet below, "You see the wine cabinet below, if you want to inquire about the news, go down to buy wine, and someone will naturally come up to you to ask questions." ”

Qian Baimo followed Xie Kun's gaze and looked over, only to see that several tables next to the wine cabinet were full of all kinds of big men, some were drinking, and some seemed to be waiting for wine.

"The next thing is to stay at the hotel. As soon as Qian Baimo heard Xie Kun continue to explain, he hurriedly retracted his body and listened carefully; "Staying in a hotel in this kind of place means that you want to find a job to do, and when you wait until night, someone will ask you if you can take a job; ”

"Oh. After understanding a little, Qian Baimo asked: "Then isn't this kind of inn the same as the Hunter Guild, a place dedicated to providing tasks and news for people in the rivers and lakes." ”

"Hmm. Xie Kun nodded and added: "However, the Hunter Guild has clear rules and regulations, which will protect every hunter and maintain order, and this kind of Jianghu Inn is a Shura mission field for buying and selling interests and ignoring the life and death of others. ”
