left the dock
All the way into the city
The streets were filled with people and vehicles. Vendors of all sizes lined up on both sides of the street, making it very lively.
The boatman was right. The Hundred Flower Convention was already very lively. This year, they even invited a beauty from the Rouge List, which made it even more lively.
Everyone was guessing who would appear this year, but no matter who it was, it was definitely a blessing in life to be able to see the true face of the peerless beauty on the Rouge Rankings.
"I'm really sorry, but the guest rooms in the store are full.”
In front of an inn, a waiter looked apologetically at the masked man in front of him who was holding an extraordinary saber.
"Can't you think of a way? You can pay more."
The masked man was Su Chen.
Although he had escaped from Shangyin Academy, it did not mean that he was completely safe.
The Hundred Flower Convention had gathered most of the Jianghu's heroes. They came from the south and the north, and there were many people. There might be people from the Northern Liang or Xu Weixiong.
Before he had enough strength, he had to keep a low profile.
This was already the fifth inn he had visited.
The waiter was apologetic as usual." I'm really sorry. We really can't stay here anymore. Why don't you go to another house to take a look?”
"Alright then."
Just as Su Chen was about to leave helplessly, the rich aroma of buns wafted into his nose.”
His stomach growled.
Su Chen waved his hand at the waiter." Do you still have these buns?" Give me a few."
After eating dry rations and dried meat for more than ten days, Su Chen's mouth was almost out of shape.
He had thought of ordering a feast after finding a place to stay, but based on the situation, it was very uncertain whether he could find a place to stay today.
He would buy a few buns to fill his stomach first. If he could not find a place to live, he could think of another way. He had to go to the trading street that the boatman had mentioned first and set up his stall.
The waiter smiled and nodded.
"There are buns. How many do you want?”
Su Chen thought for a moment and said,"
"Five."
"Alright!"
The waiter replied with a smile, then turned around and walked towards the kitchen.
"Please wait a moment."
A paper bag appeared in Su Chen's hand. Five fragrant meat buns were steaming. Su Chen took a big bite without hesitation.
"Gulp ~!"
A strange sound rang in Su Chen's ears, and he paused for a moment.
Only then did he realize that there was a dirty girl in her early fifties standing beside him. She was dressed in a beggar's outfit, had messy hair, and wore an oil felt hat.
It was dirty, like a little tabby cat, but its eyes were very clear.
Her pitiful appearance made one's heart melt.
Her eyes were fixed on the steaming bun in his hand, as if she wanted to swallow him with her eyes.
Su Chen could not help but ask curiously,
"You want to eat?"
The little beggar didn't say anything. He nodded his head like a little chick.
Su Chen didn't think too much about it. He took one out and handed it to the little beggar. He reminded him,
"Be careful, it's hot."
The little beggar quickly took it and was extremely hungry. He did not care if it was hot or not and directly wolfed it down.
at this time
The waiter appeared again.
When he saw the girl dressed like a beggar, he immediately became impatient.
"Hey, what are you doing? Hurry up and leave!"
As he spoke, he was about to chase the little beggar out, but he was stopped by Su Chen.
"Give her five more."
As he said that, he handed the change to the waiter again.
Seeing this, the waiter hurriedly nodded.
"Alright."
After saying that, he did not forget to add to the little beggar,
"You're lucky to have met a kind guest.”
After saying that, he went back to the kitchen.
after a while
The waiter came out with another bag of buns. Su Chen also placed the buns in the little beggar's hands.
Immediately, he wolfed down his food.
Su Chen also smiled and waved his hand.
"These should be enough for you to eat. I still have something to do and have to go first.”
money
Now, he no longer lacked it.
He would receive some additional rewards every time he reached a certain level of progress in the next ten days.
He had more than 20,000 taels of silver.
In this era where the purchasing power of money was extremely strong, he could more or less be considered a rich young master now.
Moreover, he had successfully escaped the pursuit of the Shangyin Academy today, so he was in a good mood.
In addition, the little beggar's eyes gave people a very comfortable feeling.
It was nothing more than a few buns. It was not a big deal.
Su Chen thought of something and looked at the waiter."
"By the way, how do I get to the trading street?"
The waiter blurted out,
"Go left out of the door, turn right at the next intersection, and then go straight.”
obviously
This wasn't the first time someone had asked this question.
"Alright, thanks!"
Su Chen cupped his fists and left the inn.
Since he couldn't find a place to stay, he could just stay outside the city for a night.
However, if he really missed a patient that he could treat and was willing to exchange a martial arts secret manual for, it would be a huge loss.
After Su Chen left, the little beggar, who was wolfing down the buns, was stunned for a moment. After taking a few steps, he hurriedly chased after him.
Naturally, Su Chen noticed it.
But he did not say much.
If she wanted to follow him, then so be it, but he wouldn't give her more.
It was fine to give him a few buns, but to treat him like a fool and keep clinging to him? He was not a saint, nor did he have the ambition to save the world.
The waiter naturally had no reason to deceive customers.
Following the route the waiter had given him, Su Chen soon arrived at the trading street.
here
However, it was even livelier than the streets in front.
On the streets, there were people dressed luxuriously, in coarse short shirts, or in strange clothes.
There were young masters from aristocratic families, martial artists, and young ladies from noble families.
The stalls on both sides of the street were even more abundant. There were also stalls selling small items and gadgets.
There were also people selling swords, spears, and halberds.
Antiques, jades, nimble objects, pills, precious herbs, and some strange things that he had never seen before.
Of course, there were also martial arts techniques.
