Chapter 24 Wei Yidao
Da Zhuang and Shi Wu chatted happily all the way, and before they knew it, they had arrived at Xujia Village. It was getting dark, so Da Zhuang suggested that he go to Xujia Cake Shop to buy two red date cakes and keep them to avoid getting up early the next day.
The shops were still closed at that time.
Ah Da had no objection, he just did as he pleased. He could see that Shi Wu was more excited than Da Zhuang and wanted to taste the red date cake. In fact, this was what Ah Da wanted to see. Shi Wu had been coming these days.
He was always a little gloomy and looked less and less like a child of this age. Now that he met Da Zhuang, maybe it was because of similar experiences. Shi Wu had a very happy day today.
As the carriage moved forward slowly, Da Zhuang noticed that the doors of the houses on both sides of the road were closed. Occasionally, one or two faces appeared from the windows. As soon as he saw them, he immediately closed the windows.
Shi Wu looked at the empty streets and asked Da Zhuang, "Brother Da Zhuang, do all the villagers in Xujia Village go to bed so early? It's just arrived at Youshi."
Da Zhuang also didn't understand and said: "It shouldn't be. I went to Xujia Village at night last time. At that time, the place was very busy with pedestrians and stalls. Why does it seem to be haunted now?"
Shi Wu was a little frightened and said: "Brother Da Zhuang, this is a fool, don't say whether he is a ghost or not."
Da Zhuang patted his chest and said, "Brother Xiao Wu, don't be afraid, I'm here." After saying that, he suddenly thought of the enigmatic Ah Da sitting behind the car, and he felt even more confident.
Ada looked solemn and said: "Ling you into the trap?"
Ah Da sat up and asked Da Zhuang where the Xu family cake shop was. Then he stroked the two horses with his hands, took the reins from Da Zhuang, and led the horses forward.
As Ah Da walked, the candles in the surrounding villagers' houses were extinguished, which made Da Zhuang feel a little creepy.
Shi Wu asked in a low voice: "Grandpa, is there really a ghost?"
Ada stopped and turned around and said, "Yes, yes. But many times, living people are more scary than ghosts."
Shi Wu straightened up and said, "Grandpa, why don't we go back to the village and tie up the horses and go to sleep directly."
Ah Dadao: "That's not necessary. Look, there's a shop in front of it. Judging from the location, it happens to be the Xujia Cake Shop."
After Ah Da said this, Da Zhuang Shi Wu looked over and saw that there was indeed a shop open in a brightly lit place. Different from the dead and dark streets, this shop looked very bright, but the more it looked like this, the more it made him feel uncomfortable.
People feel weird and scared.
Shi Wu muttered: "Grandpa, I heard Haoran say that in the past, there was a saying called Yin Yang Tong. It said that in places with extremely heavy Yin Qi, those things below would manifest in the Yang world. Look at the front
Doesn’t that shop look like Yin Yang Tong?”
Ah Da said angrily: "I've been traveling around the world for so many years, and I've seen a lot of strange things, but I can't compare to the nonsense you two brats made. How about you lead the way?"
After hearing this, Shi Wu hurriedly said: "No, no, you can take it with you."
Ah Da ignored him and walked forward. When he arrived at the Xujia Cake Shop, several of the waiters seemed to have not seen Ah Da and the others, concentrating on steaming the cakes and taking them out of the basket.
At this time, a man who looked like a shopkeeper came out from inside and urged anxiously: "Hurry up, the man inside said that the three guests should be here. If we don't hurry up, we will all lose our heads.
"As soon as the shopkeeper finished speaking, he looked ahead and saw an old man leading two bad horses, and two young people sitting in the car behind him. He stepped forward in confusion and asked: "Are the three of you coming from Taiping Town?
?”
Ada replied: "Yes."
The shopkeeper felt relieved and said, "I've been waiting for you. Come and sit inside."
Shi Wu whispered: "It must be Yin Yang Tong, Yin Yang Tong, you even know where we come from."
Ah Da Dao: "Let's buy two cakes and leave. How much will it cost?"
The shopkeeper's pusher said: "I can't make the decision. All the cakes in this shop are made by a man."
"Oh?" Ah Da turned around and asked Da Zhuang, "Then do you still want to buy it?"
Hearing Ah Da's question, the shopkeeper and the busy guys around him all turned their attention to Da Zhuang.
Da Zhuang was not used to being stared at by so many people for a while, but when he thought that A Hua liked to eat, he said firmly: "Uncle, I want to buy it."
"Okay, let's buy it." Ada turned to the shopkeeper and said, "Go inside and ask, how much does it cost per piece?"
The shopkeeper hurried to the back room and came back soon after: "The man said, if you want one piece, he will give you one hundred taels of silver. If you want two pieces, he will give you two hundred taels of silver. And so on.
, he will give you as much as you want."
This time, it was Da Zhuang and Shi Wu who were puzzled. There was such a good thing in the world. It didn't cost anything to buy things, and the other party even sent money to them, and the amount was so huge.
Ah Da shook his head and said, "My friend just wants to buy a few cakes."
The shopkeeper smiled bitterly and said: "Just buy it. If you don't buy it, our lives may be lost."
Ah Da Dao: "The whole village can't afford to offend that master of yours?"
The shopkeeper nodded and said: "Not to mention our village, even the officials from the town ahead can't do anything to this man."
Ah Da looked at Da Zhuang again and said, "Do you still want to buy it now?"
Da Zhuang hesitated a little, whether it was better to buy it or not.
Shi Wu couldn't help but ask Ah Dao: "Grandpa Ah, what on earth is going on?"
Ah Da Dao: "The man inside wanted to ask us to do something, but he was afraid that we wouldn't agree, so he waited for us here. Let every household here close its doors to thank guests, leaving only the Xu Family Cake Shop as a beacon. This place in the world is
It’s called luring you into your trap.”
Shi Wu sighed softly: "This doesn't seem to be a good word, Grandpa."
Ah Da Dao: "The person who came here is not evil. But what I am more interested in is how many taels of silver our information was sold to by Traveling Gate. Is it worth it for us to kill him again?"
"Hahahaha, senior is indeed an expert. With just a few pieces of information, he knew that Travel Gate sold it to me." A man walked out of the back room. He was tall and tall, with one arm exposed outside his clothes. His face was messy with a messy beard, and his eyes were fierce.
On his side is a nine-ringed sword.
Ah Da Dao: "Along the way, I took action once at Travel Gate. I spent real money to buy their map. But they spread my information. This account cannot be ignored."
As he spoke, Ada's whole person's aura surged, and it was as if he could see an invisible energy burning outside him in the dark night.
The man was happy and surprised when he saw it. He immediately bowed his hands and said, "I hope senior will calm down. I'm Wei Yidao, that smiling Buddha was my junior brother before he became a monk. He only gave your information to me. I suffered a lot in the past few years."
A man plotted against me, and I vowed to take revenge after I narrowly escaped. But the thief was now so powerful that I had no chance to fight him alone. Fortunately, yesterday Smiling Buddha Fei Ge sent me a letter, saying that Taiping Town had an extra man out of thin air.
I must not miss this innate warrior. I made inquiries in many places, and then I found out that senior will pass by this place. Senior, don’t worry, as long as senior helps me, I, Wei Yidao, will pay for your and this little brother’s travel expenses at Traveling Gate.
After the deed is completed, I shall give another five hundred taels of silver as a reward."
Compared to Ah Da's indifference, Shi Wu's heart was surging at the moment. What is this? Isn't this the world he has been thinking about!
Shi Wu clenched his fists excitedly. He really wanted Ada to agree so that he could follow and watch this battle between rivers and lakes.
But Ada said: "If it were in the past, I might consider it under such circumstances. But now, I don't want to cause any complications."
After saying that, Ah Da took out a coin from his pocket and placed it next to the steamer. Then he took two dried lotus leaves from the table, put three pieces of red date cake on one side, and two pieces of red date cake on the other side. They wrapped them up and handed them to
Da Zhuang and Shi Wu. Da Zhuang had not recovered from the shock just now, while Shi Wu took the lotus leaf bag in disappointment. Shi Wu knew that Da Zhuang's move had already rejected Wei Yidao's request.
Sure enough, Ada took the horse and turned around and walked towards the dark entrance of the village. Behind him, Wei Yidao, who was in the brightly lit place, felt gloomy in his heart. He seemed to see his hope of revenge disappear with Ada's departure.
Little by little it disappeared into the darkness.
After a long time, he seemed unwilling to give in and wanted to give it a last try. Wei Yidao threw a fifty-tael silver note to the shopkeeper, then picked up the dollar of silver next to the steamer, held it tightly in his hand and chased after him.
go out.
At the entrance of Xujia Village, Ah Da asked Da Zhuang to pick up some dry branches and bring them back. Although Da Zhuang didn't know what Ah Da was going to do, he admired Ah Da in his heart now. It shows that others are willing to spend so much money to ask Ah Da for help.
Ah Da is a capable person. Not to mention that Ah Da refused in the end.
Ah Da saw that Shi Wu was a little unhappy and asked, "Why do you blame me for not taking you to see Jianghu?"
Shi Wu pursed his lips and said, "A little bit."
Ah Da Dao: "There's nothing wrong with your expression."
Shi Wu said bluntly: "Grandpa, others have offered such good conditions, why don't you agree? You are not even afraid of Yang Xianren, let alone those people in the world."
Ah Da Dao: "Xiao Wu, you think too simply. The richer the reward, the greater the risk. No one will give you a lot of money for no reason. As you said, I am not afraid of Yang Yifan, because
In my opinion, Yang Yifan is just a child who is not deeply involved in the world and knows some Taoism. But the world is not as simple as you think."
Shi Wujiang said: "What's complicated? Who has the final say who has the bigger fist? Like Wei Yidao just now, others are afraid of him, but Grandpa A is more powerful than him, so he still has to be respectful.
With."
Ah Da Dao: "Yes, you are right. But have you ever thought about what if there is a powerful person behind the person he wants to kill? I can kill him for him, take the money and leave. But you can ensure that
That person has no relatives and friends? Then it will lead to a lot of trouble. This time we are not traveling around the world, but we are taking you back to Qin for medical treatment. It is better to have less trouble than more trouble on the way."
Shi Wu still pouted unwillingly. He knew Ah Da's martial arts, so he always wanted to see Ah Da invincible in the world. He felt that this was the most chic and the style of a knight.
Ah Da stopped arguing with him. After all, Shi Wu was still young and many things could only be seen on the surface.
