Chapter 51 Kidnapping

By the time Chang Xile and his party came out of the bathhouse, the sky had already darkened, and their stomachs were already singing the empty city plan.

Mei Sanniang's inn does not provide meals, but there is a public kitchen for customers to use. Even if they don't want to do it themselves, there are small workers who specialize in running errands.

The takeaway here is very developed, as long as you can afford it, you can ask someone to help you deliver the food from any tavern in the city.And here is very close to the food stalls, so you can eat delicious meals quickly without going out.

But Chang Xile didn't plan to do it by himself on the first day in the mansion, nor did he plan to sit in the inn and wait for takeaway, but planned to see the night market here and taste the authentic ancient food here.

Daoxiang County is too barren, so they don't pay much attention to food.

The street stalls sell things that are common in previous lives, but he has never been to restaurants. The famous restaurants are all run by the Qian family, so he is not willing to contribute their turnover to the other party.So I don't know much about the food here, how can I miss this great opportunity to experience it in the mansion now.

There is no curfew in Pumpkin Mansion, so even though night has fallen, the streets are still very lively.

The streets and restaurants were all lit up, and the people coming and going were not at all deserted because of the nightfall. On the contrary, there were more people than during the day.

And during the daytime, everyone became less rushed and wandered around very leisurely.

The lights are bright everywhere, people come and go, none of the shops are closed, and there are more stalls on the side of the street than during the day, especially the food stalls.

This time, Chang Xile didn't need an escort to introduce her, but planned to eat with a group of people from the street to the end of the street, eating just one or two bites of each food until they were full.

Chang Xishou and the others no longer pretended to be polite at this time. Although they were not delicious people, whoever wanted to try something delicious.They are all bold men, as long as they don't have the heart to take advantage of it, it's normal to be treated to a good meal by their brothers, and they will come back in the future.

So everyone is welcome, and they all eat with their stomachs open.

There are so many delicious foods in Pumpkin Mansion, there is no repeat of all kinds, and it is richer than some so-called food street varieties in the previous life.

What spin-fried sheep and white sausage, batch-cut sheep's head, dirty red silk, crystal soap, black fox meat, fruit and wood soup, etc. Not only Wang Dali and others who have never seen the world, even Chang Xile was messed with At first glance, he didn't know a lot of things at all.

The food gap between this mansion and the county is also huge!

Seeing this, I can understand why the imperial envoy can't eat the food on the construction site at all. He is usually fed with so many delicacies, but suddenly starts to eat bran and wild vegetables. It's a ghost if he can adapt.

"No wonder I heard people say that many people want to go to the city when they don't want their fields. The life in the city is indeed much better than in the village. Let alone the village, it is the richest land rich man in the county. I have seen The food is not as much as here!"

Chang Xishou sighed, after only a short walk, he ate five or six completely different foods.If they wanted to finish eating this street, they would not be able to finish it in seven or eight days.

Eating also requires knowledge. Only when you have a rich life can you have the ability to think about how to make food more delicious, and have the time to think about different ways of eating.So the abundance of food reflects the economic situation of that place to a certain extent, of course, this is not absolute, such as the recipes of the British Empire...

And here, this one applies.Although delicious food is not a virtue, wealthy people are also very particular about food.It's just that they pay attention to eating not to be full, but to eat delicately and to have a good appearance.

"Not only to eat, but you don't know how many jugglers you see. In our small broken county, we don't see them a few times a year. Let alone in the village, which troupe will come to our corner. And here Things for sale, tsk tsk, I originally thought that our life would be better now, and we wouldn't have to be so fussy like before, but we didn't know how poor we were until we arrived at the mansion!" Chang Xiqing said.

Wang Dali was also taken aback by the prosperity. He couldn't bear to blink his eyes along the way, "Everything here is good, but things are too expensive, and there are so many people, I'm afraid it's hard to find a job."

I saw a group of big men squatting and waiting for work before. If no one hired them, wouldn't they be hungry?

Unlike in the countryside, no matter how many acres of land you have, as long as there are no natural or man-made disasters, you will never starve to death.

"Everyone has their own way of life, we feel sad for others, maybe those people think we are suffering too." Chang Xisheng said.

At this moment, a group of people rushed over, and the people who were walking together were dispersed.

When Chang Xile regained consciousness, only Chang Yu was left by her side.

Chang Yu clung to him tightly, wrapping his arms around him, preventing others from rushing to him.

Although Chang Yu was small in stature, he had great strength. As long as someone got close to Chang Xile, he would push him away. Therefore, although the crowd was crowded, Chang Xile had never been touched by a single person.

"Okay, it's okay." Chang Xile and Chang Yu followed the crowd into an alley, there was no one here, and they finally stopped being crowded.

Chang Xile patted Chang Yu's head, "Xiao Miao is getting more and more capable and can protect me. If it weren't for you just now, I wouldn't know what it was like to be squeezed."

Seeing that there weren't that many people here, Chang Yu relaxed his vigilance. Seeing Chang Xile's praise, he immediately hugged Chang Xile's arms with joy.But when it was halfway through the arch, it suddenly stopped, and then he realized that it was outside, and his face suddenly fell down.

Chang Xile understood what he was struggling with at a glance, and said with a smile, "Does Xiao Miao want to grow up quickly?"

Chang Yu nodded seriously, "Protect, Lele."

"You are doing well now, and you will get better and better in the future. It doesn't matter if you make a mistake once in a while, and it's not like you made a mistake."

After Chang Xile said this, he realized that he was now the father and mother who used to be the one who spoiled their children unprincipled.I always think that the child is still young, so if you don’t worry, you will be sensible in the future.Obviously, more than anyone else, he hopes that Chang Yu will grow up quickly and keep up with the rhythm of the world.

Chang Yu shook his head with a serious face.

"Little Miao is awesome, strict self-discipline, and he will definitely be a promising person in the future." Chang Xile praised sincerely. As a supervisor, he often couldn't help but slack off, but Chang Yu persisted. He firmly believed that Chang Yu would be able to do it soon. fully integrated into human society.

Chang Yu smiled again, but this time he didn't lose his composure again, and he no longer liked to cling to Chang Xile like a small animal.

Chang Xile looked around, but there was no sign of Chang Xisheng and his party at all, "I don't know where the second brother and the others have gone. There were too many people just now, and suddenly a group of people poured out."

Chang Yu pulled Chang Xile's arm, "I'm looking for it."

Chang Xile was startled, then smiled and said, "Does Xiao Miao also want to help? It's okay, everyone knows the way back, so we don't need to look for it. There are so many people here and the place is so big, it's too hard to find."

Chang Yu was a little anxious, and said word by word with great force: "I! I can! Find it!"

Chang Xile knew that Chang Yu didn't like to talk big, so she couldn't help asking curiously, "How did you find it?"

Chang Yu pointed to his nose, "Taste, Tao."

Chang Xile was a little startled at this moment. He had always known that Chang Yu's nose was very sensitive, and it was very useful when hunting, but he never thought it would be so good.If it is true, it can be called Wang Xingren.

"There are so many people here, and there are all kinds of smells mixed, can you tell the difference?"

Chang Yu nodded very seriously, and affirmed: "Yes!"

Chang Xile originally didn't intend to find other people, thinking that they were all adults, and they were all big men, so they were not afraid of getting lost.When you get tired of playing, you just go back and look for it yourself. Not to mention wasting time, you may not be able to find it.

But now that Chang Yu said that he could find other people by using his nose, he couldn't help but wonder if it was so magical.

"OK, let's go find it."

The two of them were about to leave the alley when suddenly a black figure rushed over, very fast, but when it was about to hit Chang Xile, Chang Yu kicked him away.The man hit the wall directly and let out a scream.

Chang Xile was taken aback, "Xiao Miao, why did you kick him?"

"Bad man!"

Chang Xile was puzzled when someone chased him, shouting, "Stop and don't run! Catch that thief, I will reward you!"

When the man approached, he found out that he was an acquaintance—it was Mr. Pei who was against Shen Baili, the owner behind Qingfeng Restaurant.

Mr. Pei saw the snitch who robbed him of his purse sitting on the ground panting in embarrassment, he felt very proud, and snorted coldly, "I'll see where you are going! You dared to hit me after eating the guts of a leopard!" Idea, do you know who I am!"

The snitch was coughing violently, with blood still spilling from the corner of his mouth, and he had no energy left to defend himself.

Just then, Chang Yu's kick was very heavy, and he didn't control his strength at all like usual, I'm afraid his muscles and bones would be broken.

Mr. Pei didn't care about the Snitch's dying appearance, picked up the money bag that had fallen aside, looked at the contents, and saw that the things he cared about most were still there, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he turn around and look at Chang Xile and Chang Yu. One looked like a frail scholar, and the other looked like a child. He was a little uncertain, "Did you stop this snitch?"

Chang Xile smiled and did not deny it, "It's just a matter of little effort."

Mr. Pei looked them up and down several times, "I can't see that you are hiding your secrets, and you have a good kung fu. This kind of burglar is usually the most difficult to catch, even the yamen servants can't do anything about them. in your hand."

It was Chang Yu who Mr. Pei didn't consider to attack at all. Chang Yu has now learned to restrain his hostility, and with his handsome appearance, he looks like a soft and cute child at first glance. It is completely unimaginable that his lethality is extraordinary.

Although Chang Xile's thin body doesn't look like someone with kung fu, but she is more reliable than Chang Yu.

Chang Xile didn't want to explain too much, but said: "It's just a coincidence, since the young master's money bag has been recovered, then we will take our leave first, and I will leave the rest to you."

Chang Xile didn't plan to have more contact with Mr. Pei, after all, it would be inappropriate for them to have too much contact before the match between him and Shen Baili.Their current business is still very dependent on Shen Baili, and he doesn't want any trouble in the middle.

"and many more!"

Mr. Pei stopped the two of them, and squinted his eyes to look carefully at Chang Xile and Chang Yu, "Why do I feel like I've seen you somewhere?"

Chang Xile looked calm, "Oh? I just arrived in the mansion recently, you shouldn't have seen me, maybe I'm the face of the public."

"Public face?" Mr. Pei tasted it for a while, and suddenly laughed, "This word is quite interesting. I remembered who you are! You are the one who went to the city with Heitan today, right?"

Chang Xile didn't expect that Mr. Pei actually remembered him. Even though his eyes were all on Shen Baili today, he didn't even glance at him.

Now that she was recognized, Chang Xile did not deliberately conceal it, "Heitan? Is Mr. Pei talking about Mr. Shen?"

"That's the guy." Mr. Pei's eyes looking at Chang Xile became very unfriendly, Chang Yu obviously felt it, and protected Chang Xile behind him, staring at him with burning eyes, but he no longer bared his teeth and threatened him like before.

Although Chang Yu was small, his eyes were still very bluffing if he became sharp, Mr. Pei was not surprised by surprise.

He swallowed, although he was puzzled why a half-grown child had such terrifying eyes, but he was eager to know another thing, "Who are you, why did you go to the city with Heitan? I listen to you The accent is not from the Pumpkin Mansion, where did you meet, and what do you do?"

Chang Xile thought that he wanted to take the opportunity to inquire about Shen Baili's affairs, but thinking of the match five days later, she naturally didn't say much, but said: "I met on the way, we had a good talk, so we will enter the house together."

"It's a good time to talk to each other?" Mr. Pei gritted his teeth when he said this.

Chang Xile didn't know what was wrong with these four words, and she didn't want to entangle him any longer, she just wanted to say goodbye, but at this moment, the Snitch who was kicked half to death by Chang Yu suddenly blew his whistle.

Before Chang Xile and Chang Yu could respond, Mr. Pei hurriedly pushed them away, "No good! Come on, you guys go away, there is a trap."

"Go? Where is Mr. Pei going?"

Several big men suddenly appeared in the alley, blocked at both ends, and there was no way to escape.These big men were all tall and mighty, and some of them were holding sacks and ropes in their hands. It was clear at a glance that all this was purposeful and prepared.

Chang Xile only reacted at this time, when he saw Mr. Pei during the day, he had many followers by his side.From Mr. Pei's clothes, it can be seen that his family background is very good, and he is also the same as Shen Baili, so he must be from a wealthy family.Those who came from rich and noble families here would always have servants with them, but now they are alone, which is very unreasonable.

Looking at the situation again, these people came specifically for Mr. Pei.

Mr. Pei's pretty face did not show panic or fear, and he narrowed his beautiful eyes, "Do you know who I am? Who sent you here!"

The leading man laughed wildly, "Brothers are short of money recently, and want to find a young master to visit us. It's better not to struggle, as long as your family is honest and hand over the money, we will definitely pay you back." I guarantee that you can go back safe and sound, after all, we only want money and don't want to take life. But if you are dishonest..."

The words of the leading man were full of threats, Mr. Pei knew that it was useless to shout now, so he said: "These two have nothing to do with this matter, you let them go, I will go with you."

At this time, the snitch who was kicked on the ground made a weak voice, "Boss, no, we can't let them go, cough, cough...for, teach me, teach them...cough, cough."

The leading man glanced at Chang Xile and Chang Yu, and said with a smirk, "The fat sheep you sent up are not slaughtered for nothing. Since we meet by chance, we will go together. If we want to go back and get the ransom, we will naturally let you go together."

Mr. Pei was furious, "Don't bully people too much!"

The friendly face of the leading big man disappeared immediately, and he gave an order: "Arrest them!"

"Yes!"

Two bandits with ropes and sacks came up, Mr. Pei hated secretly, and shouted loudly, "Help! Help!"

The rest of the big men burst into laughter, and one of the crowd said: "Scream, scream, it's useless even if you break your throat."

Chang Xile, who was about to pull Mr. Pei aside, could not help but twitch her mouth when she heard this.

When Mr. Pei was pulled by Chang Xile, he thought that the other party was afraid, and wanted to hold him to suppress the fear in his heart. He was about to comfort him with words, when he saw Chang Yu, who was very handsome and cute, behaving very humanly.

At this time, Chang Yu was on all fours, his eyes were like a bright light in the darkness, and his body exuded a terrifying aura.

The gangsters were also stunned by this scene, wondering what was going on, Chang Yu jumped up from the ground and quickly attacked the nearest gangster, but just slapped it with his paw, and fell to the ground with a scream .Chang Yu's speed was very fast, and the recuperation during this period did not slow down his speed and strength, on the contrary, he was faster and stronger than before.

Not only that, under Chang Xile's guidance, he also mastered a lot of skills, and his attacks became more precise and effective.

Chang Xi was happy to see that Chang Yu had a very high force value and possessed extraordinary talent, so he didn't want to waste his talent.After confirming that Chang Yu would not attack people at will, he began to teach some related fighting knowledge, as well as human acupuncture points and so on.

Although he said that the practical application is scum, but the theoretical knowledge is very good.This is all because I longed to have a healthy body before, and I paid great attention to these.

He also started to exercise when he came here, boxing and so on, martial arts masters dare not think that it is not a waste of time to improve their physique.

Chang Yu's comprehension is very high, and his foundation is good. Although it is still difficult for him to get rid of the attack technique he learned from the tiger for a while, making it obvious that he is strange, he is already much better than before.At least not like relying on claws and teeth in the past. Chang Yu's nails and teeth are different from ordinary people, but they are still far from the state of a tiger, and their effectiveness is much worse.The most important thing is that Chang Xile dislikes being too dirty with her teeth.

And this practice made Chang Xile affirm that Chang Yu did not go astray under his guidance, and the effect was quite remarkable.

There were nearly ten big men, but they were all subdued by Chang Yu in the blink of an eye. The other party only screamed "Ah" and fell to the ground directly.

Chang Xile taught Chang Yu that, as a last resort, it is best not to kill anyone, just knock him unconscious.Chang Yu finished it very obediently, except for the Snitch who was kicked and lying on the ground, the others couldn't wake up for a while.

Mr. Pei was dumbfounded, especially after Chang Yu killed the gangsters, he was like a cute puppy, rubbing against Chang Xile, completely unable to see the heroic appearance just now, and suddenly had a feeling that the scene just now was an illusion a feeling of.

He glanced at the big man lying on the ground, and it took him a long time to say, "Is this kid a martial sage who descended to earth! Why is he so powerful!"

Chang Yu couldn't help frowning, staring at Mr. Pei, Mr. Pei was stared horribly, and had the illusion that the other party wanted to knock him out.

But Chang Xile knew that Chang Yu really had this idea, so she hurriedly said, "Xiao Miao, don't mess around."

Only then did Chang Yu look away, and obediently let Mr. Pei go.

"My lord, what happened today can be regarded as we saved your life. I don't ask you for a reward, I just hope that the news of today's event will not be spread, as long as it is a knight passing by."

After all, Mr. Pei came from a wealthy family. Although he was surprised for a while, he quickly returned to normal.

Hearing Chang Xile's words, he knew in his heart that the other party didn't want to show off.

These people even dared to kidnap him, and they planned so carefully, there must be someone behind them.If these two people were not here today, he would have been kidnapped.Although these people say that they won't do anything to him, as long as they get the money, they don't know.

If this kind of desperado is provoked, it will be troublesome.The opponent is in the dark, and they are in the light, which is very disadvantageous.

Although the kid in front of him is very powerful, it is not enough to really meet a group of people. The reason why he dealt with these people so quickly just now is not only that he has high skills, but also because the other party did not react.If the opponent is prepared and uses some inconspicuous means, it is very likely that he will be subdued.

These two are just outsiders, and it is reasonable to not want to cause trouble.

"Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you, and these people won't have the opportunity to confess to you."

Chang Xile cupped her hands, "It's so good, it's getting late, let's just say goodbye."

"and many more!"

"What else is there, son?"

"You are my benefactors, Pei Qingyun. Without you, I don't know how much I would have suffered today. Thank you is not enough. After I deal with these people, I will come to thank you in person. This is my token, if I have something to use in the future It goes to any shop in Pei's family, and they will come forward to help as long as they see it."

Chang Xile did not take the jade pendant that Pei Qingyun handed over, and said, "Master Pei, you don't have to be polite, it's normal to draw your sword to help when someone is in trouble, and we just did it to save ourselves."

However, Pei Qingyun forced it to Chang Xile, and was blocked by Chang Yu halfway, so he took advantage of the opportunity to push it to Chang Yu.

"I'll take it for you. You may not know what my Pei family does. Our Pei family is an imperial merchant, and I have an aunt who is a concubine Li in the palace. You just need to ask a little bit to find out. This mansion has always been Exclusive, no matter what you do when you enter the mansion, as long as you are not corrupt and perverting the law, with the backing of our Pei family, at least you will not be easily bullied."
