He was having a good meal when suddenly someone snatched the steamed bun away. Meng Yan reacted very quickly. He stretched out his hand and immediately grabbed the little hand. But at the same time, a third hand rushed to grab the little hand.
Meng Yan was surprised by the unexpected helping hand. He found that the owner of the small hand was the little girl to whom he had just given the silver ingot, and the person who grabbed her hand with him was her brother who was so hungry that he was very thin.
.
Before Meng Yan could speak, the other party spoke first and threw the silver ingot back, "Give it back to you, we are not beggars, take your money back."
"Uh, but... you guys obviously need money."
"We, the Liu family, are proud of our self-respect. Even if we run out of money, we will not be reduced to beggars. We will never."
"...It's really unbelievable. I really can't believe that people who are rich can become normal, but people who are poor can still have a sense of superiority?"
Meng Yan's casual words made the young man surnamed Liu turn red with anger, and his pale face suddenly turned red. He pointed at Meng Yan, as if he wanted to curse, but at this moment, the little girl made a hungry sound in her stomach.
, making both Meng Yan and the young man stunned.
The atmosphere was a little awkward for a while. Meng Yan really wanted to see a joke, but seeing the little girl staring at the steamed buns with an expression on her face that she wanted to eat them to death, Meng Yan felt pitiful. He changed his mind and said, "This silver ingot belongs to me."
What you gave to you just now, you threw back to me. Regardless of whose it is now, we will use it to call for noodles. The money we got back is mine. If you think this hurts your self-esteem, just treat it as it is.
Help the old lady who sets up the stall, she still has to work for most of the day at her age, it’s very hard.”
When the young man surnamed Liu heard this, he glanced at the white-haired mother-in-law who was cooking the noodles. The kind-hearted old lady was also very cooperative and immediately shouted: "Yes, help my old lady eat two more bowls and sell them out as soon as possible."
I can go home and rest early, so I can make it cheaper for you, okay?"
After hearing this, the young man surnamed Liu stopped insisting and asked his white-haired mother-in-law to help cook the noodles. He gave his sister a bowl of noodles with soybean paste, but he only wanted a bowl of noodles with clear soup. He seemed quite persistent. Meng Yan found it interesting.
After exchanging names with them, we found out that the young man's name was Liu Lang and the little girl's name was Liu Wenying. They were the young master and young lady of Liu's Manor hundreds of miles away.
Although Liu Lang's words sounded like the two brothers and sisters were both from wealthy families, they looked like they had been hungry for a long time and didn't know how many days they hadn't eaten. Meng Yan estimated that either they ran away from home or something happened to their family.
He was homeless and didn't even have food to eat.
Liu Lang, who had been hungry for a long time, ate up the clear soup noodles in a few mouthfuls. Then he looked at his sister's fried noodles and swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva. Everyone could see that he wanted to eat it, but in the end he just took care of his sister.
, let Liu Wenying finish the noodles in small mouthfuls.
"……Thanks."
Liu Lang thanked Meng Yan. Although he still looked unhappy, at least he didn't forget to say thank you, which made the young man feel good about him.
"After this meal, what about the next meal?" Meng Yan said: "How did you come here? Are you bringing your sister here to become a disciple and join the sect?"
Liu Lang snorted coldly, looked at Meng Yan sideways, and said, "You and I are strangers, why should I tell you? What we are doing here is our private matter."
"Brother said that as long as we can enter Qian Xuefeng, bad guys can no longer hunt us..." Liu Wenying's words made Liu Lang's face change drastically, and even Meng Yan felt regretful, as if these words
It's like accidentally poking a hornet's nest, but now that we've encountered it, we can't just turn around and run away, that would be too embarrassing.
"A bad guy is chasing you? This sounds interesting." Meng Yan touched his chin and tried to look old-fashioned, "Let's not think about whether you went to Qianxue Peak to seek help or apprenticeship, but you two brats are too inexperienced.
If you just go there like this, why would anyone accept you? You don't look like that kind of genius, I'm afraid you are a snobbish woman...hehe."
Meng Yan believed that this was not unfounded, otherwise Mei Ying would not have allowed her to freshen up before going up the mountain. When Qian Xuefeng selects disciples, appearance must be the first item to be reviewed. If he does not wash himself, it will not work. So what do you think of these two?
They all look like beggars, so they are definitely not good. If this is okay, Qian Xuefeng's name today should be the charity sect, not the beauty sect.
Sure enough, this sentence hit Liu Lang's pain point. He clenched his fists, his face twitched, and said: "We have gone up the mountain several times in the past few days, but we have been blocked. I don't know why..."
"Isn't it obvious?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Hey, young man, please speak politely. Is this your attitude when asking seniors for advice?"
"You are about the same age as me, what kind of senior are you?"
"In the world of martial arts, those who are successful come first. You are already in the martial arts world, so of course I am your senior." Meng Yan suppressed his laughter and said seriously: "Without me, you would never be able to enter Qianxue Peak. Isn't it worth it?"
Call me senior?"
"Senior..." Liu Lang gritted his teeth when he said this, but after he shouted it out, he made up his mind and bowed his hands respectfully to Meng Yan, "Senior, please teach me."
Meng Yan was quite irritated when he was greeted and spoken to like this for the first time. He had gone through the addiction of his predecessors, but when he received someone's courtesy, he couldn't help but say, "Hey, let me tell you, if you want to be successful in the interview, the minimum is
You just need to look good first. You two brothers and sisters need to eat well first, then freshen up, and then come back... It's best to have some gifts, bribe the examiner during the interview, etc..."
Liu Lang waved his hand and said decisively: "Qian Xuefeng is from a well-known and decent family and will not do this."
"Hey, is it true that you, a poor guy, can't come up with a gift? However, the gift is not the most important thing. If there is no gift, the power of the token is greater than the gift." Meng Yan took out his snowflake talisman.
, "Just like this, as long as you show it, I guarantee that Qian Xuefeng will welcome you in politely."
"This is..." Liu Lang and Liu Wenying's eyes widened. Although they didn't know what it was, the snowflake talisman was blowing cold air on their faces. It was definitely not a mortal thing. It was said to be a token of Qian Xuefeng, which was indeed a bit of a secret.
picture.
"...Thank you, senior." With an innocent expression, Liu Wenying stretched out a pair of small hands, ready to take the talisman. Meng Yan's expression instantly froze, thinking that he had made a big mistake. He had just put on such a high air, making people think that he had made a big mistake.
I know how to send Buddha to the West, but now I am saying that I have no intention of doing so. I am just showing it to them and not sending it to them. This seems very bad and embarrassing.
"Well...it's not safe to just take the token. You guys will go up the mountain with me later. I'll do my best and send you up personally."
Meng Yan patted his chest and said, feeling helpless in his heart. When Mei Ying gave him the token, she didn't say that it could be used by multiple people. She hoped that it wouldn't embarrass herself later.
At this time, there was a noise at the other end of the street. A group of people were charging through, pushing aside the pedestrians on both sides. Judging from the posture, they must be members of the sect. When the Liu family brothers and sisters saw the group, they immediately showed expressions of fear.
Meng Yan understood after seeing it, "Is this the bad guy chasing you?"
Liu Lang didn't say anything, but Liu Wenying nodded vigorously. Seeing that the group was asking people everywhere, and some were pointing in the direction of the stall, and they would probably come here soon, Meng Yan waved his hand and said decisively: "
You go first, I'll take care of it here, see you at the gate of Qian Xuefeng, see you there or not."
"Okay, we'll wait for you!"
Liu Lang responded, hugged his sister, and quickly turned away. Meng Yan sat calmly, and the noodle seller beside him, who was listening to all this, wiped the sweat from his face, came over to wipe the small table, and smiled at the young man:
"You seem to be very powerful. I wonder how you plan to deal with it, little brother?"
"Mother-in-law, you are quite curious. In fact, the matter is very simple. They came here because of them, so I just ate noodles on the side of the road. When they left, how could they come to trouble me? Naturally, I don't have to deal with it.
.”
"Huh? You just said it so domineeringly. I thought you wanted to be a hero, kill everyone and help them fight off the bad guys."
"Mother-in-law, you have heard too many chivalrous stories. How can there be so many people in this world who kill all the people all day long when they are full and have nothing to do? Besides, who knows who is the bad guy? They are brother and sister in a mess, and others are fierce, so others are the bad guys?
Maybe it’s because the brothers and sisters peeked at others taking a bath, took advantage of others, or ate without paying them.”
Meng Yan said: "Anyway, they have already run away. Grandma, your fried noodles with soy sauce are very fragrant. I saw that the little Wenying was enjoying the food just now. Why don't you give me a bowl too?"
"Okay, thank you for taking care of my old lady's business. I'll bring you a bowl right away."
The noodle seller took the bowl away, and Meng Yancai suddenly realized that his snowflake talisman was gone, and said in surprise: "Mother-in-law, where are my things?"
"what?"
"My token, the hexagonal ice crystal talisman, I need to bring it to the interview."
"Oh, um, didn't you give it to the little girl just now? When her brother carried her away, I saw her holding it in her hand."
"...Holy crap! It's really easy to steal the sheep!"
Meng Yan cursed and slapped the bamboo table. Just as he was about to get up and chase after him, suddenly several people came to him and shouted: "Boy, have you seen a brother and sister? Don't try to hide it, it's not good for you.
It’s beneficial.”
"Yes, those two are thieves. They stole my things and disappeared without a trace."
Just as Meng Yan was thinking about whether he should hide it for them, those few people flew up and kicked the table in front of him into the sky, causing it to shatter into pieces.
"Damn it, you thief, don't even think about getting away with this nonsense. Someone saw you eating noodles with them. You must be in the same group. If you don't explain your whereabouts today, don't even think about leaving alive."
Listening to the shouting and scolding, the young man seemed to be frightened by the violent act. He was stunned for a moment. People nearby were also frightened and moved out of the way for fear of getting into trouble. After a few seconds, they
Only then did he see the young man laugh.
"...I was wrong. The killings in all directions were not done when they were full and had nothing to do. Someone really asked for it."
