"It's really an impressive name." The shopkeeper sighed, stood up, and was about to leave. After a pause, he continued: "I know everything I want to know. The rest of what you want to know is left to the thief.
Let the guy in your bag answer it."
Not long after the shopkeeper left the room, the fat man who stole Li Xiaotian's bag came in. He was obviously called in by the shopkeeper.
"Brother, I am short-sighted and should not steal your things. Please give me a chance to change my past and start a new life. As long as the eldest brother is willing to forgive me, I will do my best and go through fire and water. I will do it without hesitation!"
As soon as he entered the door, the fat man quickly poured a glass of wine, knelt on one knee, held the wine glass in front of Li Xiaotian, and said with regret on his face.
"What is your cultivation level?" Li Xiaotian asked, without accepting the offer of wine.
The fat man maintained his posture and replied: "The second level of Tongmai, but I will soon break through to the third level of Tongmai."
Li Xiaotian asked back: "If your cultivation level is lower than mine, how can you go through fire and water?"
The fat man heard that things seemed to be turning around, and he had an idea, and replied: "Returning to the elder brother, although my cultivation is low, I have been in the Mugao Mountains for more than three years, especially Mugao City, I am as familiar as my own compound.
, where to buy something, where to buy things cheaply, where to have fun, I am very knowledgeable, it can be said to be a living map for walking, if you have me as your younger brother, your elder brother will definitely not suffer."
Despite the hype surrounding the fat man's self-recommendation, Li Xiaotian remained unmoved and said: "I'm in Mugao City, and I don't have to go out or take a second step. In the mountains, I can look at the topographic map I bought. Your walking map, right?
As far as I'm concerned, it's of no use."
The fat man licked his tongue and continued: "Brother, what you said is wrong. Mountain cultivation is a dangerous place. Although it seems that eldest brother is a very lucky person, he will definitely not be able to meet someone of your level."
A high-level Yuan beast should not be afraid of ten thousand but just in case. Panacea, weapons and equipment must be prepared, and I am good at purchasing these things."
Li Xiaotian frowned, suddenly thought of something, and asked: "Something's wrong, you stole my tips, yes, but I didn't say I would kill you. You guys have been thinking in vain.
Recognize me as your eldest brother. Recognize me as your eldest brother when you have nothing to do. If you are a traitor or a thief, tell me what kind of medicine you have buried in your gourd."
"Big brother is still sharp-eyed and can hit the nail on the head. If you want to say why I insist on recognizing you as my big brother, it is actually to repay big brother for saving my life." The fat man said with a grateful look.
Li Xiaotian was a little confused: "A life-saving grace?"
The fat man narrated: "I was actually a young disciple of Hengduan Mountain, which is a lower-class sect in the south-central part of Shengyuan Continent. I used to practice well in the mountain sect, until one night, I felt very bored.
, not feeling sleepy, I got up for a walk, and suddenly I heard a woman murmuring from an abandoned woodshed. You know, young people with strong blood naturally cannot stand such a scene, and they definitely can’t miss it. So, I
I poked a hole in the window to peek in. I didn't know what to look at, but I was shocked to see that the happy couple in the woodshed were none other than the master's proud eldest disciple and his favorite wife. They had a story to tell.
The master's wife has a really good figure. It's no wonder that the senior brother couldn't control himself. Maybe I was too surprised, so I accidentally made a noise and was immediately noticed by the two of them. I ran away quickly, not daring to look back, and hid at the top of the mountain.
In a secret place, I wanted to wait and see what happened, to see if the two of them knew if it was me leaning against the window. However, as long as they saw my back, they should know that it was me squatting on the window, because there was no other person like me in the entire mountain gate.
As expected, not long after, the whole team came out, holding torches and looking for me cursing. Listening to their gossip, my mistress scolded me, saying that I was spying on my mistress taking a bath, and the mountain gate would definitely catch me and clean up the house. I
Although I feel unwilling to do so, I don’t dare to go out to confront him. If I go out, I will be dead. Who will believe me and who dares to believe me?”
At this point, the fat man looked aggrieved, paused, and continued: "Just like that, I hid in the mountains for three days and three nights before I escaped from the mountain gate. I thought that the Mugao Mountains were farther away from Hengduan Mountains, so I wandered here.
, but I didn’t expect that just over half a month ago, I met people from Hengduanshan on the street. What’s more terrible is that among these people, there was my wife’s daughter. As soon as she saw me, she yelled at me and wanted to clean up the house.
I had no choice but to take my elder brother's tip bag and escape into the random inn. I didn't expect it to work, and I was saved by the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper asked me where the tip bag came from, and I could only tell the truth. What happened next, brother
I also know it, so I think Big Brother is a blessing to me."
After listening to the fat man's tirade, Li Xiaotian said: "I think it's a lie that you thank me for saving my life, but it's true that you don't want to leave the protection/umbrella of the inn. I guess your junior sister should be waiting for you to go out at the door of the inn, right?"
"
Xiao Jiujiu's heart was seen through, and the fat man simply played the emotional card again: "I was born in the mountains, my family was poor, and God took pity on me before I entered spiritual practice. I thought I could change my family situation and let my parents enjoy happiness. After practicing for many years, I just stood up.
Stand firm, once back in my hometown, my parents have passed away, and I have been alone since then. Now I am framed by my classmates and hunted down. How sad, how sad!"
Fatty's voice was full of emotion, and when he talked about the emotional points, tears streamed down his face, and his eyes were full of tears. If Li Xiaotian hadn't pulled his legs quickly, he would have had to change his outfit.
Although I knew that the fat man's tragic fate was highly suspected of being fabricated, this guy's acting skills were amazing, and what he said was that he came from a remote mountain, had a poor family, lost both his parents, and was framed. It was quite similar to Li Xiaotian's experience, which immediately aroused people's attention.
I could not help but feel sympathy for Li Xiaotian.
"Seeing as your desire to survive is so strong, it's not impossible for me to recognize you as my little brother."
The fat man was overjoyed when he heard what Li Xiaotian said. The change in his facial expression was as fast as a face-changing trick. Before Li Xiaotian could finish speaking, for fear that he would regret it, he quickly interjected: "Thank you big brother for going up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire for me. I Zhang Shan
Never hesitate for a second.”
Seeing Zhang Shan's expression of despairing of death, Li Xiaotian thought to himself, why did he get into his trap? He would definitely not be able to expect this guy to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire. If he recognized his elder brother, wouldn't he just ask him to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire for him?
"Don't be too happy too early. To tell you the truth, I am not as familiar with the innkeeper as you think. Even if I open my mouth, others will not appoint you to stay. You also know that the innkeeper has a casual temper.
." Li Xiaotian's ugly words came first.
"Don't worry, brother, as long as he says something, it's fine. As for whether he agrees or not, it's up to fate. Even if the shopkeeper kicked me out of the inn, I will never have any complaints against him. If I am still alive, I will tell him
It's still just a matter of numbers. Anyway, in this life, I will be the younger brother of the elder brother, and I will be the younger brother of the elder brother when I die." Zhang Shan said decisively, but he thought in his heart that just a piece of paper can make the owner of the random inn take him so seriously, it is enough to show that
The person who wrote the note is so important to him, and the person in front of him was introduced by that important person. His words are always more effective than his own initiative to plead.
"That's alright, your flattery is a bit heavy and makes me sick." Li Xiaotian felt so disgusting that he felt like vomiting after hearing the last sentence.
Zhang Shan said with a mean smile: "Okay, big brother, I will try my best to control the intensity of my shots from now on to make sure you feel at home."
Li Xiaotian felt like retching, thinking that this guy was hopeless.
Zhang Shan continued: "Since the eldest brother recognizes me as my younger brother, please take the glass of wine."
Li Xiaotian took the wine glass from Zhang Shan and placed it directly on the table.
Just when Zhang Shan was about to speak, Li Xiaotian was afraid that this guy would say something sarcastic again, so he directly made a shut-up gesture, picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.
Zhang Shan wanted to speak again.
Li Xiaotian said impatiently: "What else do you have to say?"
Zhang Shan said pitifully and helplessly: "Brother, can you give me a hand? My legs are numb."
"You can figure it out yourself." Li Xiaotian stood up and walked out of the room.
Li Xiaotian was caught in a hurry and was rushed to a random inn. He had not yet had time to book a room. Although accommodation and food were said to be free, the process still had to be completed. You can't push yourself too hard and ask others to serve you.
Inn counter.
"The Tianzi room is not for rent. It is specially prepared for acquaintances. It's a pity that I haven't met an acquaintance in such a long time since I opened the hotel. Speaking of which, you are the first one to check in." The shopkeeper said to Li Xiaotian at the counter.
He sighed and gave him a house sign. Different from other mahogany house signs, this house sign was made of jade and looked particularly tall.
Li Xiaotian took the jade token with both hands and thanked him repeatedly: "Thanks to the shopkeeper for looking up to this junior."
Finally, Li Xiaotian continued: "What does the shopkeeper think of dealing with Zhang Shan?"
