Alien Arms Dealer

The border area between Louye and Shuoli was very chaotic because of the war. Walking on the street in broad daylight could be robbed.

Xiao Cheng looked at the seven or eight big men who blocked their way, and rubbed his brows with a headache.

"Hand over... the valuables... hand over... the valuables on your body!" The head of a strong man, with messy hair, held a shovel that he didn't know where he found it, and pointed at it. Xiao Cheng threatened them.He said he was a robber, but these people looked like beggars, and the people behind him were also dressed in tattered clothes. At first glance, they were not professional robbers, they might be refugees from this area.

Several people were stunned there.

Xiao Cheng and the others didn't respond. They took a step forward, waved the shovel in their hands, and said viciously, "Don't you guys have ears? Hurry... Hurry up and hand over your valuables!"

Xiao Cheng was speechless, staring at the man's trembling legs, and said speechlessly, "You robbed us, why are you shaking?"

"Who, who, who shook??"

Xiao Jiu pulled out Yinshuang from his waist in one swoop, and a cold light reflected from the blade of the sword.

The robbers on the opposite side immediately fell to their knees in fright, begging for mercy, "Hero, spare your life! Hero, spare your life! The villains have eyes that don't see Mount Tai! Offended several heroes, please forgive them!"

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Song Qiheng: "..."

"Xiao Jiu back down!" Xiao Cheng waved his hand, signaling Xiao Jiu to back down.

Song Qiheng walked up to the robbers, who immediately lay down on the ground and covered their heads. The corner of Song Qiheng's mouth twitched slightly, and he asked, "Are you refugees from this area?"

The person in the lead quietly raised his head when he heard this, and seeing Song Qiheng's gentle face, he didn't intend to embarrass them, so he said cautiously: "I...we are...people from Wangjia Village on the border of Shuoli. Destroyed our homeland, in desperation, we survivors could only live in Louye. Along the way, our wives and children fell ill and starved for several days. We really have no choice, hero Please forgive me this time! We will never dare again in the future!"

Xiao Cheng asked: "Since you have come to Lou Ye, you big men, with hands and feet, why can't you make money, and you have to do things like robbery!"

"Hero, we really have no choice! We left our hometown and came here, but the borderlands are full of wars, and it is dangerous to go everywhere. Many people can't even care about their lives. Who will hire us as coolies? We The big man is okay, but those wives, children and widows really can’t stand it! My mother, wife, and children have suffered a lot along the way with me, and they are so hungry that they even eat leaves and soil!"

After Song Qiheng heard it, he said with emotion: "It's so pitiful!"

After finishing speaking, Song Qiheng touched his body, but found that he was penniless, so he called the Song family disciples beside him one by one, and said, "Well, do you have any money?"

Disciple of the Song family: "...Second Master, you forgot, you have already searched all our money before!"

Song Qiheng touched his head and laughed awkwardly, "Hahaha, is that right?"

"Second Master, you are so young, why is your memory so bad? You met a group of refugees before, and you gave them all your money, and even wiped out our money. At that time, Pavilion Master Xiao still paid for it!

Song Qiheng was ashamed by his disciples.

Those beggars and robbers stared at Song Qiheng expectantly.Song Qiheng was a little embarrassed by the sight, turned his head and said to Xiao Cheng: "That...Brother Xiao, do you...do you have a lot of money with you? Can you lend me some?"

Xiao Cheng sighed, Song Qiheng is really a good guy!

Xiao Cheng took out a few silver coins from his body and threw them in front of those people, "These money is enough to support you to go to the big town in Louye. Before that, don't rob any more. If you meet a big man, you will be miserable! "

Those people picked up the silver coins, stuffed them into their pockets, and nodded hurriedly, "Thank you, hero! Thank you, hero! The villain will keep it in mind!"

Song Qiheng scratched his ears, and said embarrassedly: "Brother Xiao, I'm sorry to cost you! Don't worry, I will pay you back when I go back!"

Xiao Cheng smiled and said: "I'm not that stingy yet, Second Young Master, you have a kind heart, and you will definitely become a generation of heroes in the future!"

"Yes...is it?" Song Qiheng was a little embarrassed by his praise, his face turned red, he was still a child after all.

Most of the border towns are empty cities. Many people have moved away because of the war. In the empty streets, there is basically no one except them.

Xiao Cheng waved to Xiao Jiu who was behind him, and Xiao Jiu immediately came to him and asked, "Master, what are your orders?"

"You, I told you that you don't need to be so cautious! It's just that I came here again and remembered some past events..." Xiao Cheng stared at Xiao Jiu with a smile on his lips, "Speaking of which, I picked you up here at the beginning. At that time, you were only this old..."

Xiao Cheng stretched out his hand and made a gesture, "You are thin and small, and you are like a little monkey grabbing food with a group of beggars! Time flies so fast, I didn't expect you to grow so tall and big now! What a boy! Eighteen changes, the more they change, the better they look!"

Xiao Jiu lowered his head, a little embarrassed.

As the sky gradually fell, the group searched for a long time, and finally found an inn.

The entrance of the inn was deserted, and the canvas was fluttering in the wind alone at the entrance. When Xiao Cheng approached the inn, no one came out to greet him for a long time.

Song Qiheng followed in and called out, "Where is anyone? Is there no one?"

Hearing her voice, a short and fat man came out from under the counter, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and asked, as if he hadn't woken up, "Who... who is it?"

Song Qiheng asked: "There is no one in your shop!"

The fat man immediately sobered up a little. Seeing Xiao Cheng's attire, which was either rich or expensive, he immediately cheered up and said with a flattering smile: "Are the guest officials going to the top or staying in the hotel?"

Xiao Cheng took a look at the inn and asked, "Are you the shopkeeper of this inn? Where is the waiter in your store? You are the only one, there are so many of us, can you come here?"

"Ah? Ah, I'm sorry," the fat shopkeeper stretched his legs and kicked the bottom, shouting, "Get up quickly! We have business!"

A round head came out from under the cabinet, yawned, and said lazily: "Old man, you must be dreaming. You haven't seen a single person for half a month. How can there be any business?"

The shopkeeper gave him a hard kick on the buttocks, and said viciously, "I've been sleeping all day long, and the customers are still waiting there, hurry up and work for me!"

"Old man, you..." The little boy was about to say something, when he turned around and saw Xiao Cheng and the others, his eyes lit up, as if seeing a big golden ingot, he rushed to them immediately, and shook the ingot in his hand. Putting the towel around his neck, he said courteously, "Guests, do you want to stay at the hotel?"

This Xiaoer looks young, between a teenager and a young man, with an ordinary appearance, the kind that is forgettable, but his eyes are very bright, faintly familiar.The towel hanging around his neck hadn't been used for an unknown amount of time. It was moldy and exuded a rotten smell.Xiao Cheng couldn't help but take a step back, pointed at him and said, "Back back a little!"

The waiter immediately took a few steps back, and asked without knowing why, "Guest officer, what's the matter?"

Xiao Cheng pinched his nose and asked, "How long has it been since you washed this rag?"

The waiter was startled, lowered his head and sniffed the rag on his neck, frowned, with a disgusted expression, and threw his hands away. "Sorry, guest officer, I accidentally picked up the wrong one, that piece of footwashing cloth is actually a small one..."

"What nonsense are you talking about! Hurry up and work for me!" The shopkeeper viciously knocked on the waiter in the shop.

When Song Qiheng saw this scene, he was a little hungry at first, but he didn't dare to say that he was hungry at this time. Who knows if the food made in this shop can be eaten.

"Arrange a few rooms for us, we want to stay in the hotel!" Xiao Cheng said, "One room for each person!"

"Okay, no problem!" The shop waiter responded readily, and then asked: "Guest officers, don't you want to eat something first?"

Xiao Cheng turned his head and asked, "Are you hungry?"

Song Qiheng and the group of disciples behind him hurriedly shook their heads, but unfortunately their stomachs were so disappointing that they made gurgling sounds

Xiao Cheng: "..."

Song Qiheng blushed and said, "Brother Xiao, I'm really not hungry! Really!"

"Where did you hear the sound just now?"

Song Qiheng: "..."

Xiao Cheng asked, "What do you eat here?"

"Ahem, speaking of our restaurant's signature dishes, there are quite a few of them, such as secret first-class shrimp, rotten cake, crystal shrimp dumpling, simmered tofu with pine mushrooms, braised shark's fin..." Xiao Er was not too bothered. Thirsty, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

Xiao Er said with a bitter face, "That...Guest officer, I'm really sorry, now that the border is in chaos, ingredients for many signature dishes can't be obtained..."

Xiao Cheng: "..." So what you said just now is all nonsense? ?

"Then let's do whatever you want!"

"Alright! Officer, please wait a moment!"

A few people found a place, and just about to sit down, saw that it was covered with a layer of dust, and suddenly lost the desire to sit down. "Shopkeeper, how long has it been since you wiped this table?"

The shopkeeper hurriedly dragged his fat body over, and wiped the rag on the table, "Sorry, guest officer, our inn is short of manpower, because of the war, everyone has run away, and now I am the only one left. And Xiao Wu two people!"

"Since it's not peaceful here, why didn't you leave, shopkeeper?"

"Hey, I want to leave too, but I don't want to leave the family property left by my ancestors. Anyway, I have nothing to worry about, and I have nothing to do in this world.

What relatives..." The shopkeeper wiped the dust off the tables and chairs while sighing, "Okay, sir, it's been wiped clean, you can sit down now! "

After a while, the waiter came up with a plate, "This is one of the signature dishes of our restaurant --- Emerald Golden Beans!"

When everyone saw it, their faces turned dark. Isn't it just a plate of fried soybeans and vegetables!

"This is our restaurant's signature dish—red pearl and white jade soup!"

It's just a bowl of chili and cabbage soup!

There were several dishes in succession, except for radish and cabbage, and the corners of Song Qiheng’s mouth twitched. "I said, do you only have radish and cabbage in your store?"

The shop waiter smiled, showing his gleaming white teeth, "Guest officer, in this extraordinary period, it would be nice to have radishes and cabbages! Look at those refugees, they can't even eat radishes and cabbages!"

When Song Qiheng thought of the refugees he met before, he immediately stopped being entangled. Thinking of an inn that was in the middle of a war, it was not bad to be able to get these things!
