"Come on, come on, eat it while it's hot!"
Three bowls of steaming wontons were put on the table, six sesame cakes were brought, Shang Xia greeted the two of them, and then ate them by themselves.
The spicy thick soup and the meat-filled wontons were eaten in his mouth, and under the cover of the steaming heat, Shang Xia squinted his eyes and began to recall his experience after entering the city.
When he was at the city gate, the strange aura of martial arts will, Shang Xia was almost certainly derived from Cang Ling Martial Arts.
In other words, among the four young warriors from Jizhou with a lot of origin, at least one of them is a Cangling martial artist!
If it weren't for Shang Xia's own mysterious martial arts will, being able to integrate with the heavens and earth, and even avoiding the detection of fourth-order warriors, I am afraid that Shang Xia's identity as a disguised hunter would have been detected at that time.
Of course, the one who failed to discover the identity of the Shang Xia warrior was the little woman holding the child beside him.
But even so, Shang Xia, who was at the city gate at that time, almost took direct action to kill the Cang Ling martial artist who appeared.
If it was in Tongyou City, Shang Xia would probably make a move without hesitation.
However, this is not Tongyou City after all, and after Kou Chongxue was attacked and he was almost captured alive, Shang Xia currently knew nothing about the situation in Tongyou City and even Youzhou.
Moreover, Shang Xia found only one Cang Ling Martial Cultivator, you must know that there were three Cang Ling Martial Artists who ambushed him at the beginning.
Shang Xia did not choose to act rashly in the end, and even he did not dare to reveal his identity casually.
And this caution soon revealed his correctness to Shang Xia.
As an important gateway from Youzhou to Jizhou, and one of the only two cities in Youzhou at present, although Changfeng City is controlled by the city lord Yang Hu, how could Tongyou Academy and the four major families of Tongyou City not be arranged in Changfeng City?
However, along the way, Shang Xia saw at least two inns, a warehouse, and three shops belonging to Tongyou City on the surface, but the surroundings of these six shops were being stared at both openly and secretly.
Shang Xia didn't know who was secretly watching, nor did he know if these surveillances were targeting him, but he understood that at this time, it was best for him not to show up.
Fortunately, Shang Xia had stayed in the wild mountains and forests for a long time, and his appearance and image had already changed drastically at this time, and no one would have thought that the young master of Yushu Linfeng in Tongyou City would be the young hunter wearing coarse cloth clothes and eating wontons at the roadside stall.
It seems that he has to go incognito in Changfeng City for a while, and at least he has to find out what the current situation is in Tongyou City first.
A bowl of wontons with two sesame cakes took just a moment to eat.
Shang Xia had just put down her chopsticks, and the little woman also drank the soup at the bottom of the bowl, and even the three-year-old girl had removed half a bowl of wontons and half a sesame cake by herself.
"Boss, how much is it?"
Shang Xia wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and when he stretched out his hand, he had already taken out a silver dollar from his cuff.
"Chenghui twelve copper sons!"
The boss smiled and put a rag on his arm, walked to Shang Xia's side and said.
"How much?"
Shang Xia looked at the owner of the wonton stall in astonishment.
The boss glanced at Shang Xia suspiciously, then looked at the things on the table, and said: "A bowl of wontons has two copper pieces, three bowls are six, and a sesame cake is a copper plate, you asked for a total of six. That's right, it's twelve copper pieces, guest look at ......"
Seeing that the little woman and the little girl looked at him, Shang Xia was a little surprised and said: "So cheap?"
The boss was stunned at first, and then smiled and said: "The honored guest is joking, I don't dare to ask for more."
Shang Xia threw a silver dollar into the boss's hand and said, "Okay, pack eight more sesame cakes to take away, and make up for it by the way."
"Okay!"
The boss blew the silver dollar in his ear, and suddenly showed a happy face, and quickly wrapped the eight sesame cakes together with the leftover sesame cakes, and then returned the four copper plates to Shang Xia.
Copper is usually called small copper plate, and a silver dollar is a hundred small copper plates.
On top of the small copper plate, there is also a large copper plate, which is what ordinary people call a copper plate, usually twenty small copper plates are equivalent to a large copper plate.
Shang Xia pinned the four large copper plates he got in his palm, although it was not the first time he had seen copper plates and copper pieces, but it might be the first time he had actually used them.
As a merchant's relative, Young Master Sun only used silver dollars and gold coins on weekdays.
In fact, at this time, in the Jinyun box in his sleeve, there was a large bag of three hundred silver dollars, which was the price that Shang Xia offered him when Yu Chengjin, the elder of the sword of the Jianmen Academy, personally came to ask Shang Xia for a sword talisman.
However, the use of copper plates and copper this time was a different taste for him.
Shang Xia got up from the wonton stall and left, and the little woman quickly picked up the little girl and followed.
After eating a bowl of steaming wontons, the two women's spirits seemed to have eased a lot.
Shang Xia was walking in front, and the little girl's milky voice sounded from behind him: "Uncle, where are you going?"
Shang Xia didn't reply: "Youzhou is bitter cold, you two are thinly dressed, I will take you to buy two sets of cotton clothes."
"Thank you, just buy a piece for Yuanyuan, I don't need it."
Without the danger of being at the city gate, the little woman no longer suppressed her beautiful voice.
Shang Xia turned his head to look, his eyes fell on the little girl who was being held in his arms, and said with a smile: "Your name is Yuanyuan, good name!"
The little girl's originally big black eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile, and she said in a milky voice: "Thank you, uncle."
Shang Xia turned his head and happened to come to a ready-to-wear store, so he smiled and said: "It's here! Let's go, go in and take a look!"
When she came out again, the little girl Yuanyuan already had a little red jacket on her body, and her whole person was more round and a little cute.
The little woman also added a turquoise winter jacket to her body, which made the whole person thicker, but it did not affect her figure much.
Shang Xia had actually seen for a long time that the mother and daughter were thinly dressed, and the reason why they had been holding their daughter in their arms before was because the little woman had been putting her own vitality into her daughter's body to keep warm.
Little Yuanyuan, who was well-fed and warm, no longer felt cold, so naturally she no longer wanted her mother to hold her, and preferred to walk and play on the ground by herself, constantly circling around Shang Xia and the little woman, and after a while, the two of them were surrounded by the laughter of children.
Walking down half the street, Xiao Yuanyuan had already tasted osmanthus cake, small twist ...... in his mouth, and held a smiling man and a candied haws in his mouth......
Shang Xia looked back at the young woman who was following him in the shape of a little woman, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yuanyuan seems to have never seen these things."
The young woman let out a low "hmm", with a little guilt in her voice.
"It looks like you are going to stay in Changfeng City for a while?" Shang Xia asked without looking back.
The young woman looked up at Shang Xia, then lowered her gaze again and said, "Yes!"
"You are penniless now, what skills do you have to make a living?"
The young woman was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "No!"
Shang Xia nodded and said no more, and when he walked to the end of the street to a dental shop, he asked to find a unique courtyard to rent.
The tooth man of the tooth shop was also quick, and soon found a small courtyard in the city that met the requirements according to Shang Xia's requirements, so he took the three of them to check.
At first glance, this small courtyard is a small household, sitting north and facing south, with one upper room, two side rooms, two fruit trees in the small courtyard, and a well covered with bluestone slabs.
The three of them took a rough look, and Shang Xia felt that the small courtyard was quite quiet, so he wanted to rent it, so he asked how much the rent was.
"Three silver dollars a month!"
After a brief discussion between the person in the tooth shop and the landlord, he quoted a price that Shang Xia did not know the price of.
Touching the four silver dollars on his cuffs, Shang Xia didn't know for a while whether he should take out a few silver dollars from the Jinyun box and rent them for a few more months.
Unexpectedly, the landlord saw Shang Xia's hesitation, so he said: "It's a bit expensive, but it's no wonder we are, in the past two months, there have been many outsiders in the city, and everyone's rent is rising. If the little brother's family thinks it is not suitable, they can go elsewhere to inquire, but our small courtyard is not worried about rent."
Shang Xia laughed when he heard this: "I didn't say I wouldn't rent!"
Saying that, he took out three silver dollars from his cuff, handed them to the landlord and asked inadvertently: "I said I wouldn't come for a while, but the city is a lot more lively. Could it be the old people of Youzhou from earlier?"
The people in the tooth line shook their heads and sighed: "Earlier, there were many old people in Youzhou, but recently there have been many martial artists with Jizhou accents.
After agreeing to pay the rent in January, Shang Xia sent the two away.
After leaving the mother and daughter to clean up the courtyard, Shang Xia went out to buy until he spent every copper plate on his body clean, and then returned to the courtyard with large and small bags.
Xiao Yuanyuan was by the stove and fiddled with a few sweet potatoes that had just emitted fragrance, and there was already shiny saliva on the side of his mouth.
Shang Xia leaned against the door of the upper room and looked at the little girl's actions with a smile on her face, and suddenly felt something, looked back, and saw that the young woman had come behind him.
"Why don't you ask about our identities?"
This was the first time the little woman took the initiative to speak after the city gate.
Shang Xia's eyes did not take his eyes off Xiao Yuanyuan by the stove, and he didn't look back: "I want to ask, will you say it?"
The little woman was silent for a moment and said, "No!"
Shang Xia smiled and said: "I just like Xiao Yuanyuan."
The little woman walked to Shang Xia's side, looked at her daughter sitting by the stove waiting for the sweet potatoes to be baked, infinite tenderness appeared on her face, and said in a low voice: "Yuanyuan has never been as happy as today, and she has never lived such a peaceful life, thank you!"
Shang Xia glanced at him and said, "You can choose for her."
The little woman shook her head and turned her head to walk outside the house.
When she walked to the door, the little woman suddenly turned around and said: "My name is Haimin, don't forget the neighbor when he asked, and what is your name?"
Shang Xia did not look back and said: "You can call me Xia Shang, just an ordinary orion."
"Then Yuanyuan will be called Xia Yuanyuan, the daughter of an orion."
After the little woman Hai Min finished speaking, she walked out and said, "I'll go prepare dinner!"
Perhaps because of the fatigue of the journey, after dinner, Haimin's mother and daughter had rested very early.
Shang Xia was resting in the side room, sitting cross-legged at the head of the bed to carry the true qi in his body.
After about 1 o'clock, in Shang Xia's perception, Hai Min, who was sleeping in the upper room, had quietly left the room.
