Chapter 204 The Beginning of a Dream

(14)

The next day, Baifeng walked out of the business at almost the same time as yesterday morning.He knew very well that the smell of "money rat" was still lingering around him, but he didn't look left and right because of this, looking forward and backward. This kind of petty theft could not stop his progress at all.

I saw him holding the sword and gourd on his waist steadily, watching the knots on the money bag, as if he was ready to wander outside for a day, then he walked towards the wine shop street.

Although the streets are relatively deserted at this time, there are still many brokers coming and going.They carried wine, meat and meat from the carriage to various restaurants.

Each of them is as strong as a yak, and they can basically carry two or more barrels of wine at a time, and then walk in and out steadily, and when they come out, they will bring more empty barrels back to the carriage.This is the beginning of a new day in their lives.

Generally, there is a full-time accounting boy on each delivery carriage. They sit on a high place, quite leisurely, counting the wine delivered, and then pretend to scold Fang Qiu on the account book. It was a few scribbled down.

Even though the work of bookkeeping is not easy, in the eyes of others, it is indeed much better than the work of brute force, blood and sweat.But everyone knows that accounting is something that only experienced people are qualified to do.

Therefore, Bai Feng, who had just arrived for the first time, went to ask one of the young men who was keeping accounts: "Excuse me, brother, do you know where the 'Money Rat' is?"

The boy said: "Look at this posture, Your Excellency is looking for our elder brother?"

"I'm just here for the first time, and I have a lot of puzzles. Please explain in detail."

"Our elder brother sells all the drinks on this street. The young master is looking for money rats. Could it be for something else?"

"I'm just looking for the best wine in Quan Yuyi!" Bai Feng responded accordingly: "I also ask this brother to show me a clear way!"

The accounting boy immediately appointed a broker to take Baifeng to the destination, and said: "Our boss has always been generous to people in the world like the young master, and people who beg for drinks with us all day long are not counted. Little, as long as you don’t maliciously contradict him, my lord, the matter of good wine will definitely be nothing to worry about!”

After finishing speaking, Bai Feng followed the strong man into the deep alley.At first, the alley was a bit crowded, be it beggars who were fighting for a few copper coins, or prostitutes who chased them out of the house without even putting on their clothes, begging for money from clients who did not pay , is a sight after all.

But after a short while, even the ragged civilians were no longer visible, only the khaki-colored mud walls remained, narrow and dark, so quiet that even the rustling of gravel underfoot could be heard.Therefore, those "stalkers" who followed all the way can no longer hide their whereabouts, or in other words, they don't plan to hide anymore.

Along the way, Bai Feng was thinking about whether things were going too smoothly, so he kept clenching the Longming Sword tightly and kept vigilant. Naturally, he also found that the money rats that were chasing him were approaching.

"My lord, we're here..." The strong man suddenly said, "The backside of the next wall is the place you're looking for."

Before he finished speaking, Bai Feng drew his sword out of its sheath and pressed it against his throat, then turned sideways and said to the follower behind him, "What are you trying to do!"

The brawny man said: "My lord, I'm just a guide...I have to go back to work and support my family!"

The "money mice" behind Baifeng also jumped out from several alleys. What is unexpected is that these "money mice" are all young people, and everyone is dressed in shabby clothes. Fall into locks of clothes.They pleaded for the strong man: "Young man, we are also following orders, please don't kill anyone, everyone is innocent!"

"Young man, our eldest brother wanted to know what you were looking for, so he asked us to follow you secretly. Now that you are all here, why don't you go inside first?"

"Yes, yes, if you can invite you to sit down, then our task will be considered complete!"

Bai Feng sneered and said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old child? Besides, you don't even want to give me any benefits, just want to trick me into visiting your rat's den?"

Looking at the sharp point of the sword, the strong man whimpered, almost sobbing, and said, "Hero, I beg you to let me go. I managed to escape the chaos of war. I can't die here! My wife and children are still alive!" Waiting for me at home..."

"Zhan Luan?" Bai Feng pondered for a moment, then slowly put down the long sword in his hand, and said to the strong man, "Go away!" Immediately, he adjusted his posture and pointed his sword at the "money mice" to prevent them from approaching him.

The two sides confronted each other for a while, and a hunchbacked old man called out from behind Bai Feng: "Young Xia Bai, don't you want to beg for a drink? If you don't come here to toast me, it's really shameful..."

The young swordsman followed the prestige, and saw that the other party was holding a cane carved from rotten wood, his limbs were extremely short, his head was surprisingly big, and his face was unkempt, just like an old turtle.This sickly appearance did not quite match his wild and unruly tone.

"Why, are you scared?" The hunchbacked old man sneered, "You are the one who holds the Dragon Crying Sword, and you have no integrity. Why do you hold it?"

When Bai Feng heard this, his heart was instantly shaken.

He put his sword back into its sheath, and asked calmly, "Why do you know about Longming Sword?"

"The old man doesn't just know? Hahaha... If you want to know why, then let me do it."

After speaking, Bai Feng followed him to the yard behind the wall.The decoration of this yard is very similar to an inn, but it is much larger than ordinary inns, but it is very dirty here, and as far as the eye can see, there is no place that is not dilapidated.

There are many people gathered in this "inn", which is completely different from the desolation outside the wall.When they saw Bai Feng coming, they all joked around the boy.

The old man invited Bai Feng to sit with him, but out of respect for his senior, Bai Feng did not refuse.Then the old man began to toast Bai Feng frequently, and every time he said a word, there would be a stench coming out of his mouth.No matter how delicious the wine is, it can't cover this taste.

Bai Feng quickly stopped the other party's well-intentioned behavior and said, "Senior, who are you? Why did you invite me to be your guest?"

"Of course it's because of the Longming Sword. Let me tell you, if you give me the sword, I'll tell you everything you want to know!"

"What?" Bai Feng was shocked: "I can't give you the sword, senior, this is an extraordinary thing!"

"Silly boy, nothing is impossible in this world! If you want to know the whereabouts of 'Yixiao Huangquan', give me the sword. I can help you become an official and get rich, and you can help me fulfill my wish. It's the best of both worlds!"

"Wish?" Bai Feng felt more and more wrong, and confirmed the suspicion in his heart: "This is really a den of thieves." He immediately took the sword, got rid of the entanglement, and was about to rush out the door, but he didn't know that the door was full of little money rats. Boy, he was completely in a desperate situation.
