It was true that there were talented people in every generation, and the new generation surpassed the old.
Old Huang sighed in his heart.
At the same time, it also strengthened his belief that after escorting the young master, he would complete his unfinished business.
"Young Master, we have intruded into someone else's sword training ground.”
Old Huang smiled bitterly.
The little beggar revealed a regretful expression." It's a pity that I can't see this person's true face. Otherwise, I'll definitely drink with him."”
"Young Master, this place is filled with sword qi. You can't easily step into it.”
" But we can choose to spend the night nearby," the old beggar said." The valley is filled with sword qi. No wild beasts will dare to come here."”
"Good idea."
The two of them went around the smooth mountainside and climbed to the edge of the valley. They found a big rock to hide from the wind and snow.
Then, he went around to pick up some dry firewood and set up a bonfire.
They had eaten a lot during the day and were exhausted from the journey. Therefore, the two of them curled up and fell asleep not long after.
at this time
In Qixia Town, dozens of miles away,
Su Xuan was roasting himself by the fire and eating exquisite desserts and fruits while Xiao Mi was busy in the kitchen.
During the day, he went to the market to buy some prawns and crabs, which were just right to stir-fry with wine.
"Shopkeeper, the stir-fried crayfish is here.”
Xiao Mi carried a large iron plate over and placed the specially-made stove on the table before placing the iron plate on the fire.
There were prawns and crabs on the plate, as well as many side dishes and meat.
Su Xuan went to the back of the stairs and took out a bottle of aged Daughter's Red. He opened the lid and immediately, a thick fragrance of wine filled the air.
"There's not much good wine left."
He poured a cup for Amy and then filled it up for himself."Gaiming, go to Guangyang Prefecture and talk to the owner of Qiuxiang Lane. Ask him to send two more carts of wine.”
"Remember, you must have good wine. Tell Shopkeeper Zhu that if he dares to pour water in like last time, I will tear down his winery.”
"No problem."
Xiao Mi grinned." Didn't Shopkeeper Zhu compensate you with eighty taels of silver last time? If you calculate it, you've earned a cart of wine for nothing."”
"Do I lack that bit of money?"
Su Xuan chuckled. He raised his wine cup and took a sip before putting it down.
Good wine had to be drunk slowly. Swallowing the Whale Dragon Wine was a drunkard, a waste of wine. He would never do such a thing.
He picked up a piece of beef and melted it in his mouth. He wrapped it in egg liquid and fried it first. It was very tender.
"Shopkeeper, you're the one who knows how to enjoy."
Xiaomi also ate a piece and showed an intoxicated expression. Then, she sighed."It's over, it's over. I feel like if this continues, I'm afraid I won't be able to be a beggar.”
"Then put down your chopsticks. There are still two rotten cornbread in the kitchen.”
Su Xuan teased.
"I'm not that stupid."
Xiao Mi shook her head.
"If there's good food to eat, then you're a bastard.”
"Besides, Beggar's Sect also has dirty clothes and clean clothes.”
"At most, I, Xiao Mi, will become a beggar in the future.”
"You only know how to remember Beggar's Sect's Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms.”
" Even if I give it to you, you won't be able to cultivate it," Su Xuan said." Why are you so persistent?"”
"Shopkeeper, you don't understand."
Xiao Mi explained," When I was about to starve to death, it was my brothers in the sect who gave me food. That's why I survived. Now that I'm with you, my days are good, but I can't forget my roots."”
Su Xuan gave Xiao Mi wages every month, and he used most of it to help the other beggars in Beggar's Sect. Xiao Mi also packed up the leftovers in the inn and sent them to them.
Su Xuan had seen all of this, but he had never stopped them. After all, Beggar's Sect had helped him a lot.
"Yo, what are you two eating again?”
"I can smell it from two streets away.”
Old Xing's nose was sharper than a dog's. He came over after smelling the smell and shook the snow off his body at the door.
After removing the knife from his waist, he went to the kitchen to get some cutlery and poured himself a glass of wine before sitting down.
"Tsk tsk, stir-fried lobster, and so much beef and mutton.”
"Shopkeeper Lyu, you're living such a carefree life." Old Xing sighed.”
Su Xuan and Xiao Mi were used to such freeloading behavior.
"Compared to you, I, Old Xing, am living a horrible life.”
As a constable of Qixia Town, Old Xing could only maintain the public order, catch a small thief, and mediate the conflicts in the neighborhood.
However, this fellow was still loyal. During the Coldblood murder case, he had pestered the constables of Six Fan School to speak well of Su Xuan.
He had only learned of this matter from Autumn Leaf.
"I might as well not be a constable."
Su Xuan teased," You took off your official robe and came to my shop to do odd jobs.”
"No."
Old Xing rolled his eyes." I've been following you for so long. I'm always in big trouble. Who can stand it? I still want to live a few more years."”
"Let's just do this job honestly and earn a stable income. Anyway, we'll eat our fill and the whole family won't be hungry.”
"I can come to your shop from time to time to eat and drink.”
"I'll report you to the yamen tomorrow.”
Xiaomi teased.
"Go, go, go."
Old Xing grinned." When the time comes, I'll follow you and join Beggar's Sect. With my talent, I might be able to become the leader of Beggar's Sect in a few years and master the Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms. By then, I'll be famous all over the world."”
Su Xuan was speechless.
"..."
The few of them were in the inn, eating the griddle and bragging. Most of them were Old Xing and Xiao Mi gossiping about various things. Some were from Jianghu, some were from the yamen, and most of them were from the town.
"You didn't see it, but Shopkeeper Qian was beaten up by his wife.”
" The whole butt," Old Xing said vividly." There were bruises and purple patches. The rattan was so thick."”
"It's about the size of a fist.”
"With such thick vines, I have to break one every month.”
"Do you know what the outside world is saying?”
"It's said that it's all thanks to the rich shopkeeper, Madam Qian, that the people who sell medicine for wounds in our town have become rich and opened several shops in succession.”
"Tsk tsk, I don't know what's so good about Madam Qian.”
Xiao Mi shivered.
"Hehe, nothing good, but he knows martial arts.”
" Golden Bell Shield, Iron Shirt, and Eighteen Fierce-trained Grand Guardians," Old Xing said." If Old Qian dares to say no, he will immediately send a punch the size of a sandbag."”
Not to mention Xiao Mi, even Su Xuan felt a chill run down his spine. Whoever had such a wife would be extremely unlucky.
As he was speaking, he heard a series of screams that sounded like pigs being slaughtered under the silent night sky.
"Do you still dare?"
"Madam, I won't dare to do it again."
What followed was Madam Qian's curses and Shopkeeper Qian's screams and pleas for mercy.
It was truly a scene of tears and sadness.
"Alright, they're fighting again."
Old Xing shook his head and continued eating and drinking.
