Rivers and lakes in another world

Chapter 325
Tian Buqi and his party waited for a while but did not get the other half of the jade they imagined. Instead, they waited for another person.

A voice sounded outside the door soon: "Xiaoxiu, have all the things been sold? You came back very early today. What are you doing here?"

A young man walked into the room.

The first thing that caught his eyes was a dozen pairs of eyes fixed on him.

The young man raised his head and looked around with some doubts, then looked at Tian Qi and these people, and finally exited the door to take a good look at the surrounding houses to see if they were where he lived.

I found that nothing had changed, the only thing that changed was the sudden addition of a dozen people in the room.

There was a trace of fear in the young man's eyes, his mouth was tightly closed and he didn't speak. He didn't pay attention to these people, and walked straight into the house to find the female stall owner.

Chen Zheng continued to caress Pang Pang while frowning. It turned out that the female stall owner was named Xiao Xiu.This name doesn't sound like a name that a normal family would marry, but rather like a name given to a maid or a slave.Considering the temperament of the female stall owner, this is very likely to happen.

Moreover, the young man's tone of speech was not very good, a little aggressive, obviously his attitude towards Xiaoxiu was not very good on weekdays.

Another point is that the young man was obviously wearing fine silk clothes, while Xiaoxiu was wearing old clothes that had been worn countless times.

Obviously, the young man spent all his daily money.

Xiaoxiu heard the young man's voice inside, she hurried out and pulled him into the room, as if she was whispering something.

Although the voice was lowered, all the people present were warriors, and everyone had a very strong perception of their surroundings. Naturally, they could hear clearly, and the content of the conversation was really uncomfortable.

"Xiaoxiu, who are the people outside? Did you find them?"

"I'm a distinguished customer who is shopping. I also want some jade, but I forgot to take it at home. If I don't go home, I will look for it."

The young man's tone was full of impatience and he said: "Then hurry up. If you can't find it in a short time, give me some money and go out to eat."

Xiaoxiu's voice was a little suspicious: "Didn't I just give some yesterday, this..."

"Isn't this another gambling loss? Come on, if you can't find you, give me some money first. I'm going to eat. I have a very dry mouth these days. It's time to drink some wine to make up for it."

"Wait a minute, I'll help those distinguished guests find the things first, and then they will have money, don't worry." Xiaoxiu's tone was a little helpless.

"I said I was hungry and asked for money to eat. Did you hear me? Did you get braver when you saw someone coming?" The young man's tone gradually became irritable.

"No, it's just that not being able to find something will delay the guest's time. I remember that I once had a piece of broken jade at home. Where did its other half go? Have you seen it?" Xiaoxiu looked for it with her head full of worry. It's Khan, but the other half of the jade was never found.

It was Xiaoxiu who spoke, because this young man was at home a lot of the time, and sometimes he would rummage through boxes and cabinets just to find money to spend.Xiaoxiu couldn't guarantee whether the young man had touched the broken jade.

The people outside the house didn't see it, and the young man's expression was very bad at this moment.They didn't observe carefully either.

Let's move the camera to the house, and we can see that the young man is a little thin, with sallow skin, very heavy eye bags, and very obvious dark circles, pale lips and eyes, and sagging skin. There are some high and low shoulders, slightly bent over, and the hair is also very messy.It seems that he doesn't have the energy and vigor that a young man should have at all, but he looks like a playboy whose body has been hollowed out by wine and sex.

Xiaoxiu tried to use her own language to treat the increasingly irritable young man as gently as possible, but he didn't appreciate it at all.After arguing for a few words, when he found out that Xiaoxiu didn't want to give him money at all, the young man yelled and stretched out his hands to Xiaoxiu to grab the money.

He was so angry that he seemed to have forgotten that Xiao Xiunai in front of him was a warrior. Although he was only in the luck realm, it was not easy to deal with an ordinary person like him who had no cultivation at all.

"How much money can you make from those junk goods you sell? They are still here with my mother-in-law and mother-in-law." The young man complained about Xiaoxiu's various faults, while he rushed up to grab the money bag.

Xiaoxiu originally had the strength to resist, but she couldn't bear to beat the child, so she didn't do anything, she had to move around the hut as much as possible, not letting his money bag, while persuading him, hoping that the young man would realize Money is precious.

But it's useless.

Tian Qingqi and others outside the house heard the quarrel in the house, and seemed to have started to take action. Originally, it was not easy for them to interfere in other people's family affairs, but what the young man said was too much, and no one else could bear it.So I rushed directly into the house.

Tian Qi immediately entered the room, seeing that the young man was about to get violent, he immediately subdued Tian Qi with his hands, there was no need for any grappling skills, only the joints on his body were really used. Just hit it with Qi to paralyze it for a while.

The young man was opening his teeth and claws, suddenly felt his body go numb, and fell down unconsciously.

Xiaoxiu's expression suddenly changed, and she shouted to Tian Qingqi: "Please, please spare his life, distinguished guest." Xiaoxiu was so frightened that she broke into a cold sweat. She knew what kind of cultivation these distinguished guests had.It was really easy to crush an ordinary person to death. I was afraid that these distinguished guests would be angry because of the young man's abruptness, so they hurriedly came out to stop him.

"Don't worry, the stall owner. I just tapped a few of his joints to make him weak. It won't hurt him. However, the attitude of this man's words is indeed a bit unpleasant. Even we can't bear it, but the stall Lord, you may have been wronged a lot." Tian Qi said, cupping his hands.

The female stall owner smiled awkwardly without explaining too much.

He helped the young man up and comforted him: "It's okay, be careful what you say, don't offend the distinguished guest, tell me the truth, have you touched anything at home, so I should put the half in the cabinet at home, But I searched all the cabinets in the house and found nothing, did you take them away?" Xiaoxiu's tone was very gentle but with a trace of indisputability.

The young people before were very arrogant, and I don't know where they got the confidence to dare to attack Xiaoxiu, a warrior in the luck realm.

The young man could no longer see his previous arrogance at all, so many people rushed into the house at once.Coupled with the fact that Tian Qi's brazen attack frightened him at once, and honestly knew that this was someone he couldn't afford to offend, so he became much more obedient all of a sudden.

After thinking about it, he finally said in a whisper: "I found a big brother in this martial arts market. We often go to the casino together. He heard that I have nothing to do now, so he wanted to introduce me to a job. But I heard that Why did he raise a few women outside, in order to please him, I just randomly took some of your jade stones..." As he spoke, the young man's voice became lower and lower, and he didn't know if it was I am ashamed to say that there is some other reason, and I thought why these people still don’t leave, isn’t it just some broken stones, just take any of them, and when they leave, I can trick this woman to get them from him. Money, you can go to the casino to play again at that time, I must get this book back today, that Zhang San must have cheated today, how can I win it back tonight, so that you lose all your pants, while thinking Then, the last side of the young man said: "Those jades are really not very valuable, and people don't even look down on them."

But in fact, it was the young man who directly took out those jade stones as gambling capital. He didn't find a way to pawn them in this martial arts market, so he had to use things to discount the price.

Moreover, the people in the casinos are very aggressive in lowering prices. A small bag of jade can only serve as a small amount of money, which makes you really drunk.

The woman looked at the young man dumbfounded, obviously shocked that he took the initiative to find a job, with a look of suspicion in her eyes.

The young man also noticed that Xiaoxiu's eyes were filled with suspicion. In order to hide his emotions, he had to pretend that he was stimulated, and shouted: "What kind of eyes are you looking at? Do you think I used money to go out to gamble? I need to have a headache." Do you want to gamble with the things at home? Don’t forget whose family these things belong to. These jade and other things are originally my family’s things, but you just picked them up by luck. These things should be mine. I used my own money to go out and find a job? That’s not okay? Could this be stealing?”

Chen Zheng was on the side, almost laughing out loud. This is nonsense, sophistry here.

Xiaoxiu stood up, mumbling, but stopped talking.

"Let me tell you, Xiaoxiu, I've already sent the things to others. It's for business relationship. I don't have the shame to go out and ask for it back. Leave it alone." After finishing speaking, the young man said With a dark face, he grabbed a handful of money from the open purse in the house and ran out again.

Before leaving, he took a look at Tian Qiqi and found that Tian Qiqi was staring at him with a frown. Thinking of the numbness in his limbs before, he shivered and ran away.

Xiaoxiu looked at the back of the young man leaving and sighed, there was no way she could really control the young man.

From the conversation just now, we can see the relationship between the two.

In fact, Xiaoxiu and this young man were once members of a martial arts family in Beiyan. It was just a small family at that time, and the person with the highest cultivation level in the family was a person at the peak of the Zhoutian realm and not a big master of the Tongmai realm. Man, even Chen Zheng’s Chen family can’t compare.

This young man was originally the Seventh Young Master in the mansion, he was right, he was the Seventh Young Master.

Because there are no warriors with outstanding talents in the family, if they cannot win in terms of quality, that family will think of winning with quantity. Maybe there will be one with good talent.

As a result, reality was dealt a severe blow. These seven people were all mediocre talents, especially the young man, the old seventh. It can be said that there is no hope for martial arts in this life, and he was born with a closed pulse.But because of his long skin, he is proficient in eating, drinking, and playing, and he has made a lot of friends.His temperament is naturally like that of a traditional playboy.

And Xiaoxiu was one of the personal maids of the head's wife, and was later assigned to Lao Qi's side to take care of his daily life. It can be said that she was the one who watched him grow up.

As a result, not long after, the family was involved in an accident and faced a catastrophe. The enemy came fiercely. In order to preserve the blood of the family, the head of the family took most of the family to delay time and give some people a chance to escape. .This young man was brought out by Xiaoxiu under such a background.

Because they were afraid of being discovered, they had no choice but to hide their identities, and because they did not dare to reveal their previous household registration, they had to act as black households. They could not stay in some big cities and could only survive in the mountains.

Money, food, and clothing are all necessary things.As a personal maid, Xiaoxiu learned some martial arts and some boxing skills. She once found a chance to return to the old site of her home, only to find that it had been reduced to ruins.After careful searching and excavation.Instead, they found a lot of jade, gold and silver that remained in the ruins, and it was these things that gave Xiaoxiu and the others the capital to continue living in this world.

In the end, their stumbling made them discover such a place as Danyangwu City.Here, black-eared households like them can have a place to live and survive. As long as they pay enough rent, the people of Danyang Wushi will protect their personal safety in Wushi.

Moreover, although Wu City is not big, it is small but well-equipped with all the necessary infrastructure.Although there is no guarantee that people will get ahead, it can allow them to continue living.

Because Xiaoxiu is a warrior, she sometimes goes out to collect herbs, mine ores, hunt some wild animals or beasts, and is injured many times, but she works hard and saves a lot of money for young people to spend.

Maybe the girl Xiaoxiu is stupid, and some people around her say she is stupid, she obviously has a good condition, why do you have to raise such a person, who is ignorant and lazy, and does not ask you to work to make money, even if it is simple Take care of the housework, even those who are not messy and wasteful can't do it.

Every time at this time, Xiaoxiu would smile awkwardly.

There is no way, she will never forget the night when she left the mansion, the trust and reluctance in the eyes of the madam and the master, she herself is an orphan, and was fortunate to be favored by the master and his wife, and stayed in the mansion, not only took over some mansions Xiaoxiu will never forget the great kindness and virtues of her management practice, and she has learned a whole body of martial arts.

And now this young man may be the last bit of blood left by the master and his wife in the world. No matter whether he is good or bad, Xiaoxiu does not want him to endure hardship, and does not want him to risk his life or get into an accident.
