Chapter 83 Magnolia City(2/2)
"Zhang...Mr. An, don't worry. We are a group of people who know martial arts. We can't protect you two who don't know martial arts. Then we are too weak. In that case, even if you don't drag us down, we can't win against them."
Ximen Wuhen nodded after hearing this and said, "Mr. An must have confidence in our family."
His family refers to him, me and Yun Zhou.
Yunzhou quickly pointed at me and said, "Madam, you are amazing!"
Then he pointed at Ximen Wuhen: "Brother, awesome!"
Finally, he pointed at himself and said: "Yunzhou, awesome!"
Ximen Wuhen changed his previous cold image, hugged Yunzhou, caressed the top of his head, and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, be good, I have taught you so many times in vain, I finally remember it."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. Ximen Wuhen was indeed teaching Yunzhou how to speak these days, but the content he taught was something no one with a right mind would want to learn.
Like my brother who is mighty and domineering, the best in the world in martial arts; and my brother who is unparalleled in martial arts and the most ruthless person in the world...
He was not embarrassed at all when he said it himself. Fortunately, Yunzhou couldn't remember so many words and only remembered the word "brother."
Ximen Wuhen said with a look of relief: "Brother-in-law, he can call me brother."
When two men who are over 1.8 meters tall hug each other, it is difficult to see the "parent-child relationship" between them.
Because they are all so handsome, I don’t think it’s eye-catching, but Ximen Wuhen’s father-like expression and the scene of Yun Zhou secretly nibbling chicken feet on his shoulder are a bit funny.
Manager Zhang was even more worried. He looked at me and then at Ximen Wuhen, but he hesitated to speak.
Yue Nanxiang now takes all the time to practice, and she doesn't care about anything else.
The incident of Yunzhou and I disappearing in the inn room irritated her. She was extremely anxious at the time and had no ability to do anything.
This is what Manager Zhang told me later. When Yue Nanxiang saw Ximen Wuhen demolishing the inn, she realized that she also had to have that kind of strength.
Manager Zhang saw how hard she worked and wanted to accompany her, but unfortunately his body did not allow it and he sprained his waist during the first practice.
Traveling these past few days was clearly too much for him, so it was Yue Nanxiang's secret guards who carried him to Magnolia City.
We decided to enter Yulan City, but we couldn't all go in. I left Nan Jiu and others outside the city, and took Yue Ba into the city with us.
She walked ahead of me and entered the city half a day before us. The five of us walked into the city without any disguise.
Magnolia City is built on the mountain. The main urban area is on the mountain, but the foot of the mountain is also considered the urban area. The houses are arranged in a ring shape, and the streets are also rings, with large rings surrounding small rings. The houses are built in the area between the rings.
At regular intervals, a spacious road will be left between the rooms, allowing four carriages to walk side by side.
On the outside are farmland and vegetable fields. We waited until the sun was almost setting before entering the city. On the road there were many farmers returning home after work.
The foot of the mountain are all small courtyards of farmers' houses. There are no inns or restaurants. If you want to stay, you have to go to the mountain.
Standing at the bottom of the mountain, you can see the "sign" flying halfway up the mountain. It doesn't take long to walk up.
The streets throughout the mountain are paved with bluestone slabs, and the slopes are steep.
It has been adjusted so that there are no steep slopes and all the steps are very low, making it easy for the elderly and children to step up.
Adults can climb several steps at a time, and there is also a slide car specially designed for transporting heavy objects. Things can be dragged from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
The principle is similar to that of a cable car. There are also special "salan bearers". You can pay a little money to hire them to carry you up the mountain or up the mountain.
Local residents have long been accustomed to this kind of living environment. No one will spend money to ride in a sedan unless there is an emergency or a sick patient who needs to be transferred.
We are not in a hurry to stay, and just enjoy the local customs and customs while walking.
This is the time when the smoke in the market is the strongest. Every household starts cooking pots, children playing outside are called back by their parents, and some night businesses hang up lanterns to prepare for business.
We first went to a wonton stall on the roadside to eat and asked the boss where we would stay.
The boss saw that we were traveling together as a family, so he recommended an inn with a kind boss, a clean hotel, and affordable prices.
"We're not short of money. Just tell us which store is the most expensive in this city. We don't want the best, but the most expensive." I waited for the boss to introduce me, handed over a silver ingot, and forced a kind smile.
The boss's hands trembled and he almost threw the silver ingot away.
I held his hand and asked him to put the silver ingot away.
"That, that, that's the most expensive one...it's the one up there!" He tremblingly put the silver ingot into the pocket of his worn apron and pointed to an inn on the mountain.
When we were at the bottom of the mountain, if we took a quick glance, we could probably see the signs of four or five inns.
The shop he was referring to didn't have the biggest sign, but it was the only one with a gold rim.
The store may seem to create a sense of low-key luxury.
We had dinner and slowly walked to the door of the inn.
"Fengqi Inn." I read out the words on the signboard and took the lead in stepping through the door.
