Shi Jue handed the money to the boss, who took him into the house and gave him a set of old clothes. Shi Jue changed his clothes and put the money bag and bamboo tube close to his body.
The clothes were a bit big, but for him they were the best clothes he had ever worn in his life. He touched this and that with joy. It took him a long time to get out.
"Here, wash your face." The boss happily brought a basin of water. Such a good customer made him earn money that would only take him a few days to earn. How could he not be happy to serve him?
After choosing a face, Shi Jue finally revealed his 'true face'. He looked a bit handsome, but his figure was too thin, and he had a strange temperament. The boss was even more sure that he was not an ordinary person's child;
A little beggar.
Shi Jue carried the rations on his back and bowed to the boss and said, "Thank you."
"Go." The boss was now a little eager for Shi Jue to leave as soon as possible.
When he walked to the city gate, the guards did not inquire about him. They thought he was a servant of the noble family. The biggest role of these guards was to prevent beggars from entering the city and disturbing the lives of the nobles, and to provide the nobles with a comfortable life.
Shi Jue looked at the houses in the city curiously. To him, this city was like paradise. There were splendidly decorated shops, women wearing beautiful clothes and exquisite jewelry walking on the streets, and women with swords hanging on their waists.
man.
Novelty, everything is so novel to Shi Jue. He must send the letter to Juejianmen, so that he can live a life he has never experienced before like the people here.
But how do you know where the Juejianmen is? Where to ask?
A small noodle shop, Shi Jue walked over.
"Do you want something to eat?" A waiter came over and asked politely. Shi Jue was a little panicked at first, but he calmed down immediately. People need clothes, and now that he is no longer a beggar, this will show off his feet.
"Brother, I want to ask about something." Shi Jue asked.
"What's the matter?" the waiter asked. But his attitude changed. He wasn't here to eat, so it was a waste of expression.
"How can I get to Juejian Gate?" Shi Jue asked.
The waiter rushed over and covered his mouth, looked into his eyes and whispered: "You want to die! Don't ask again! Won't you ask again?"
Shi Jue nodded, and the waiter let go and said, "If I ask this question again, you won't know how you died."
"Brother, why?" Shi Jue asked.
"This is the territory of the Ba Dao Sect, the bitter enemy of the Jue Jian Sect. If you ask again, you will be suspected of being a spy, and you won't even know how you died." The waiter said in a low voice.
"Thank you, little brother, but..."
"Leave here immediately, go south, keep going forward..." The waiter reminded him kindly. The sect dispute has nothing to do with ordinary people like them. That's why he reminded Shi Jue so kindly, otherwise he would have been killed long ago.
He handed it over to the town guard.
"Thank you, little brother." Shi Jue said gratefully. Although he didn't know what was going on, Xiao Er knew from his tone that it was for his own good.
"Brother, please help me change the money." Shi Jue took out the second dime he had prepared, which was one or two cents. Thinking of the suspicion of the boss in the city, he had to choose to change it in the city.
The waiter took the money and looked at him and thought about it for a while, deciding whether to report it to the official for embezzling his dime. This was his two months' salary. But in the end he chose to go in and exchange money for him.
"Here." The waiter handed him the money and warned, "Little brother, don't show off your wealth. It's very dangerous for a kid like you to hold so much money."
"Thank you, little brother, I know you are a good person." Shi Jue said seriously. Uncle Pingshu told them these things in the world.
The waiter shook his head and said, "Come on, get out of here." Then he continued to greet other people.
Shi Jue did not dare to stay any longer and immediately left the town and headed south.
…
He did not dare to enter the town anymore, but just bought some food on the outskirts. With this thousand coppers, he traveled for three months. The change he had with him was once again spent. He had to enter a small town again.
among.
He took out the second dime and found a tavern. The tavern was a favorite place for Jianghu people and a good place to inquire about news. The storytelling master said so. But he did not dare to step forward to ask rashly. Along the way
He has seen too many things, encountered countless killings and robberies, and has become more and more clear about this world of jungle. He has resolved several dangers with his wit. Therefore, he did not dare to walk along the way.
On the main road, I just walked cautiously along the woods near the official road.
He felt that he was very lucky. If he hadn't met that kind waiter for the first time, he would have been doomed long ago.
"Haha... This time Ba Dao Sect suffered a huge loss from our Jue Jian Sect. I'm afraid we won't dare to cause trouble again..." A bearded man said excitedly.
"Yes, we should have dealt with them a long time ago, otherwise they would keep riding on top of us." A strong man in his mid-thirties said, unable to conceal his excitement.
Are they from the Juejian Sect? Shi Jue just wanted to step forward and ask about the situation, but he immediately controlled his impulse. His biggest gain in the past three months was that he learned to be calm and analyze problems. Before, he was just ignorant.
In order to have a full stomach, now that he no longer has to worry about food and clothing, he has begun to learn to think about problems.
His talent is not bad. His adoptive father taught him how to read before, but he never asked his adoptive father to teach him a second time. He can remember it firmly after just one time. But Shi Jue didn't know that he had this extraordinary talent.
"Do you think Ba Daomen will take revenge?" an old man in his fifties asked.
"It's possible, otherwise the elders wouldn't have sent us out to investigate the spies."
"Yes, Ba Daomen will not just swallow their anger..."
They must be people from Juejian Sect. Shi Jue was sure. But he still didn't go to them rashly. He would not take the initiative to go forward without knowing their details. He originally asked them to take him to Juejian.
Doors are the best method, but there are risks.
"Someone is eavesdropping," said the man in his fifties.
"Who, stand up." The bearded man said loudly.
"Boy, come out." The man in his fifties looked at Shi Jue outside the door and said. His eyes seemed to pierce Shi Jue's heart.
It seemed that he had to find them. Shi Jue thought of this immediately. Looking at the swords in their hands and the murderous aura on their bodies made him feel scared.
"Come here, why are you eavesdropping on us?" The man in his fifties said to Shi Jue.
"Someone asked me to deliver a letter." Shi Jue said.
"What letter?" the old man frowned and said. They came out to inspect this time and the locals didn't know about it, and this was the hinterland of Juejianmen.
"The person who asked me to deliver the letter told me that it must be handed over to the leader of the Juejian Sect. He also said that this matter is very important." Shi Jue became more discerning. He thought about it a lot along the way and couldn't help but want to open the letter several times.
It depends on the content. But he held it back in the end. Don’t ask about things you shouldn’t know, as this will kill you. This is also what the storytelling master said.
I heard that Mr. Pingshu traveled to many places when he was young, almost the entire Longquan Continent. Finally, when he got old and couldn't walk anymore, he chose to stay. Usually they, the little beggars, like to listen to his stories the most.
"Where is the person who asked you to deliver the letter?" the old man asked.
"Dead." Shi Jue was sure that the man would die. He had seen the eyes of many people who were about to die, and that man's eyes looked like this at that time.
"Boy, you're looking for death! Do you want to see the sect leader whenever you want? You must be a spy from the Ba Dao Sect!" the bearded man said viciously.
