Volume 1 A Thousand Stars Chapter 10 Here is the opportunity
After Xie Fan entered Huoyun City, he didn't know where to go for a while, so he found a remote place to live in a little leeward for a while. Fortunately, there are cotton clothes given by Xie Jue and his wife, otherwise it would be unbearable for such a cold day.
Walking all the way out of the Huoyun Mountain Range, except for a few days of barbecue at the beginning, I haven't eaten for the past two days, and my stomach is now rumbling with hunger.
Xie Fan thought about it, if he wanted not to be hungry and not attract attention, the only way was to beg.
In order for the Yan family's deep revenge to be avenged, in order to complete the task of this test, what is this face?
Thinking of this, Xie Fan got up and walked along the street. The second uncle is right, you have to live first to have a chance.
Xie Fan walked along the long street from the east end to the west end, but there were several shops with their doors open, but they were wandering back and forth, and they didn't have a good mouth. Changed sides and walked from west to east, but the result was still the same, no grains were harvested.
Let the genius boy of this realm open his mouth to beg, this really doesn't know how to speak.
Xie Fan let out a long sigh and turned around to go west again. No matter how difficult it is, I have to beg for something to eat today, or the biting cold wind will be even more unbearable when it gets dark.
After making up his mind, Xie Fan walked to a nearby store with an open door, walked into the shop, and shouted in the future: "Boss!"
"What are you going to buy?" asked the proprietress politely.
Xie Fan had never begged for food, and he didn't know how to answer, his face flushed, and he opened his mouth, always feeling embarrassed to speak.
The proprietress looked at the quiet and delicate young man in front of her, and suddenly seemed to remember something, "I heard that the little brother is not a local accent, is he too hungry to say it?"
Xie Fan nodded embarrassedly and said, "I've never done this, I don't know what to say." ”
The proprietress smiled, "There are times when you encounter difficulties." Little brother, wait a minute, I'll go to the back and get you some dry food. ”
Leaning slightly, the proprietress took out a steamed bun from the back room, handed it to Xie Fan, and said, "Little brother, don't be hungry, if it's not enough, tell me again." ”
Thanking the proprietress seriously, Xie Fan took the steamed bun and walked out of the shop.
Xie Fan had just come out of the shop and hadn't gone far when he heard footsteps behind him, and he planned to turn sideways and not block others' walking. It's just that before Xie Fan could turn sideways, a hand reached out from the side, and the steamed bun in Xie Fan's hand was hit to the ground.
When Xie Fan looked sideways, a middle-aged beggar with his hair scattered on his shoulders, wearing a tattered cotton jacket, and kicking and pulling a pair of worn cloth shoes on his feet, stared at him angrily.
"This big brother doesn't know what to say?" Xie Fan didn't want to cause trouble, so he spoke first.
The beggar did not answer him, but stared at him for a while, and then asked, "I have been staring at you for a long time, and I don't know the rules of this way?"
"What rules???," Xie Fan asked confusedly.
The beggar looked at Xie Fan's confused look, "Do you really don't know, or do you want to tease me?"
"I really don't know. Although Xie Fan didn't want to cause trouble, a mortal beggar didn't have to worry too much.
"Begging for the first time?" the beggar stared at Xie Fan for a while, and his tone softened a little.
Xie Fan smiled awkwardly, "The eldest brother is as wise as a torch, and the younger brother has really never done such a thing." I was very hungry, so I found someone to order something to eat. ”
"No wonder you don't know the rules. When the beggar heard Xie Fan say this, his voice softened even more.
"I don't look like you're a beggar, and I, Wang Sanmad, don't care so much about you. The middle-aged beggar took a step forward, "This rule is that everyone has their own territory, and they can't cross the line casually." Since the little brother is not here to grab the land, it doesn't hurt for us to be friends. ”
"Thank you Brother Wang for telling me, I really don't know this rule. Besides, the younger brother will stay here for a day or two temporarily, and it will not ruin the eldest brother's business. Xie Fan said as he leaned over to pick up the steamed buns that had fallen to the ground.
Wang San was crazy when he heard Xie Fan keep calling him eldest brother, and he had nothing in his heart, and waved his big hand, "Since the little brother calls me big brother, then if you stay here for a few days, the big brother will not let you go hungry." ”
Glancing at the steamed buns in Xie Fan's hand, Wang San said with a mysterious smile at Xie Fan, "My Wang madman misunderstood my little brother, and I entertained my brother today." ”
"Okay?" Xie Fan was stunned in his heart, not understanding what Wang Sanmad meant.
Wang Sanmad approached, leaned close to Xie Fan's ear and said, "Brother, I got a local chicken today." Little brother, I look very pleasing to the eye, I will go out of the city with my brother in a while, let's go to call the flower chicken, and enjoy it. ”
Xie Fan saw that he was sincere, and besides, apart from the Sumeru Ring, there was nothing else on his body that was coveted. This Wang Sanmad is also a mortal, he shouldn't be able to see the Sumeru ring of this realm, so after thinking about it, he said politely, "Then the little brother will thank Brother Wang for his hospitality." ”
"It's easy to say, I'll have to call Li Lao Wu later. He got a pot of good wine out of nowhere a few days ago, and it happened that our brothers and sisters drank it together. Wang San turned around and walked forward, "Follow me!"
Xie Fan walked forward about three or four hundred steps with Wang Sanmad, and saw a tattered quilt placed in the corner of a house on the side of the road. Wang San walked forward and took out an oily cloth bag from the tattered quilt.
The cloth bag looked bulging, and it was estimated that it contained the local chicken he said.
The two continued to move forward, and when they walked to the corner of the street, Wang Sanmad put his dirty fingers in his mouth and whistled loudly. After a while, I saw an older beggar running from the front, shouting as he ran: "Crazy king, what are you calling me for?"
When this person ran in front of him, Xie Fan saw that this beggar looked slightly neater than Wang Sanmad, although the clothes were also patches and patches, but they were finally clean.
"Li Lao Wu, bring your good wine, let's go out of the city. Wang San saw Li Lao Wu looking Xie Fan up and down, and explained: "This little brother just came here, stay for a few days and leave." ”
When Li Lao Wu heard this, he smiled at Xie Fan, turned his head and said to Wang Sanmad: "Crazy Wang, are you worried about my thing again?"
Wang Sanmad raised the cloth bag in his hand, "I also have a good thing here, hurry up." ”
Li Lao Wu didn't ask anymore, turned back, and came back with a small cloth bag in his hand for a while, and said, "Let's go." ”
Xie Fan followed the two of them until he walked out of the city to the beach at the bend of a river. In winter, the water dries up, revealing most of the riverbed, which is flat. There were many trees on the embankment, shaking their dry branches in the cold wind, whining.
Wang Sanmad and Li Lao Wu seemed to often come here, walked to the edge of a few big rocks familiarly, and put down the cloth bag.
Li Lao Wu found a stone that was not too big, and walked to the river to smash the ice.
Wang Sanmad untied the cloth bag, took out the local chicken that had been killed, and went to Li Lao Liu's side to clean up.
Xie Fan saw that the others couldn't help, so he said to Wang Sanmad: "Brother Wang, I'll go to the nearby embankment to pick up some dead branches." ”
When Xie Fan came back with a big hug of branches, he saw that the two of them had already packed up the chickens, squatting on the ground and pasting mud on the chickens. Putting down the branches, Xie Fan also squatted beside the two of them to watch, he really hadn't eaten chicken in this way when he was in the Dao Realm before.
Wang San madly watched Xie Fan come back and explained to him, "The chicken stewed by this method is delicious, and it is more tender than the chicken that is directly roasted over the fire." ”
"Little brother, I don't know your accent is local, why did you end up here?" asked Li Lao Wu casually.
"My family was originally from the Gengjin Continent, and it suffered a man-made disaster, so my second uncle brought me here to join my relatives in the Fire Continent. It's a pity that before he could wait for this Huoyun City, the second uncle died of illness. Xie Fan sighed deliberately, "I can't find where my relatives are, so I just went to Brother Wang's territory, hey." ”
"Oh, what are the plans of the little brother in the future? Or be a careless beggar like the two of us, haha. Wang San was crazy to hear Xie Fan say that he would not meet his relatives, and joked about him.
"Pull it down, madman. Looking at the little brother's appearance, he is from a big family, can he still be a beggar like us?" Without waiting for Xie Fan to speak, Li Lao Wu retorted.
"I've learned a little bit of alchemy before, and I want to see if I can find an alchemy job here to make a living. Xie Fan pretended to say casually.
When Wang San heard this, he sighed, "Alchemy? This is a very respected way of life in our Huoyun City." I wonder how much my brother has learned?"
Xie Fan replied, "The skills of the family heirloom have just been learned. ”
Wang San turned his head madly and asked Li Lao Wu, "Old Five, is the apprentice recruited by our Huoyun City Alchemy Institute the day after tomorrow?"
"It's the day after tomorrow. The little brother has learned the art of alchemy, but he can go to the selection to try. If you enter the alchemy, you will not have to worry about food and clothing, and everyone will admire you. Li Lao Wu looked at Xie Fan with a smile.
Wang San laughed madly, "The little brother really entered the alchemy center, then the two of us will blow it in the future." Before a certain master became famous, he ate chicken and drank wine with the two of us. By the way, what's your last name, little brother?"
"The younger brother's surname is Xie. Xie Fan hurriedly replied.
"Xie, the chief master of the Alchemy Institute is also surnamed Xie, maybe it's your own family. Li Lao Wu joked beside him.
"No matter what your surname is, if the little brother really enters the alchemy institute, don't know the two of us. Wang San said with a crazy smile.
When Xie Fan heard this, he said sincerely, "If you have the opportunity to get ahead in the future, the younger brother will not forget the intentions of the two elder brothers today." As he spoke, he bowed solemnly to the two beggars.
Wang Sanmad and Li Lao Wu hurriedly returned the salute, "Joke joke." The two of us also hope that the little brother can make a difference, not like the two of us. ”
While speaking, the local chicken was roasted. Wang Sanmad tore a chicken leg and handed it to Xie Fan, he and Li Lao Wu each tore a chicken wing, and the three of them were directly facing the wine jug, and each of them ate and chatted while taking a sip.
After chatting, I learned that Li Lao Wu had a good family background. There is a shop at home, although the shop is not big, but it is also worry-free, but it is a pity that he was framed, and his family was ruined, and he fled to Huoyun City to become a beggar.
Wang Sanmad is the person on the edge of Huoyun City, a few acres of heaven and earth in his original home were taken away, and he was left alone to come to this Huoyun City.
The three of them drank the wine dry, and most of the local chickens went into Xie Fan's belly, before they cleaned up neatly and went back to the city.
Xie Fan was very happy tonight, he didn't expect this opportunity to come so soon......
