Chapter 3 The Rich Old Man
Bai Hu was very happy when he saw Xiao Shuiling. "Sister Xiao, you are here, something serious is going to happen!"
Xiao Shuiling rarely saw Bai Hu looking like this, and asked nervously: "What's going on?"
"I heard that the Demon Lord is almost near the Imperial City, and he seems to be aiming at the Tiandao Sect!"
"What?!" Xiao Shuiling was shocked, and after a moment she said angrily: "The traces of these useless old guys have been exposed."
Bai Hu nodded: "The behavior of these people last time in the Ximen Family was too eye-catching. This is also expected."
Xiao Shuiling thought for a long time, "In Brother Bai's opinion, what should be done about this matter?"
Bai Hu said: "The Tiandao Sect and our sect have long since ceased to have anything to do with each other. We don't have to worry about their life or death. However, the Demon Lord's dispatch this time should be aimed at Shen Tiandao..."
Xiao Shuiling sighed slightly, "In that case, my teacher should help?"
Bai Hu smiled bitterly: "Come on, let's discuss the specific situation..."
Xiao Shuiling and Bai Hu talked for a long time, and before they knew it, the day was almost over. After the matter was settled, Xiao Shuiling realized something else was wrong. The rich old man had been flattering himself all day long, as if he thought he was
What kind of big shot? I was puzzled at the moment. Taking advantage of the fact that the rich old man was not here, I quickly asked Bai Hu what happened.
Bai Hu laughed non-stop, "Don't you know this? It's no wonder that you have been away from the religion for so many days. Now there are rumors in the church privately that you have meritorious service in killing Ximen Ba, and the Holy Princess wants to confer you with the title of Xuanwu
Where is the hall master! Therefore, these Xuanwu Hall disciples will naturally have to coax you."
Xiao Shuiling: "..." Another idea occurred to him, and he smiled and said: "That's good. It just happens that I can entrust my brother to the rich old man. Also, if I can't go to the Dongfang Family, I can let the rich old man go to find out the news."
Inn.
Xiao Guanhong and Shen Feiyan waited in the inn for a long time before Xiao Shuiling came back and asked her what she was doing. Xiao Shuiling only said that she came back late after talking to friends.
When preparing to go on the road again the next day, Xiao Shuiling suddenly said that something happened, and I was afraid that the Dongfang Family could not go with him, so he asked Xiao Guanhong and Shen Feiyan to go first and meet up at the Dongfang Family later. The two were surprised and asked what happened, but Xiao Shuiling said nothing.
Ti. Watching Xiao Shuiling leave, Xiao Guanhong felt that this sister was becoming more and more mysterious.
Xiao Guanhong didn't care too much and continued on his way with Shen Feiyan.
Just after a day's journey, Xiao Guanhong suddenly screamed "Ouch" when he walked into a small town. Shen Feiyan was startled and asked hurriedly: "Brother Xiao, what's wrong?"
Xiao Guanhong was about to cry but had no tears, and said helplessly: "Daughter-in-law, all our expenses are on my sister..."
"..." Shen Feiyan was shocked: "What?!"
Xiao Guanhong searched all over and found only ten taels left, "Daughter-in-law, do you still have any money on you? We can't support the Dongfang Family with this money..."
Shen Feiyan searched all over his body and found that there was indeed nothing left.
The young couple was helpless at that time.
Shen Feiyan grabbed Xiao Guanhong's neck and shook it, "Brother Xiao, what should we do? I don't want to starve to death in this wilderness..."
Xiao Guanhong was shaken so dizzy, "Oh, what can I do..." As he was shaking, an idea suddenly came to him, "That's right! I have a way to make money from money, and it's fast!"
"Oh?" Shen Feiyan was surprised: "Really? What's the method?"
Xiao Guanhong chuckled and said mysteriously: "Come on, follow me!" As he said that, he pulled Shen Feiyan, who looked surprised, and ran around the town. After a while, he found a gambling house. At that moment, his hands were itchy and he quickly Pull Shen Feiyan and run in.
In the gambling room, the gamblers were shirtless and shouting loudly. The smell of local smoke and wine could be described as a smoky atmosphere. Shen Feiyan covered her nose and felt unbearable, but Xiao Guanhong became more and more energetic.
Xiao Guanhong smoothed down his sleeves and was about to serve the food when he suddenly saw an old man rushing towards him and hugging Xiao Guanhong's legs.
Xiao Guanhong and Shen Feiyan were both startled. What are you doing? "Hey, old man, what are you..."
The old man cried: "Oh, brother, please help me, I have such an old bone..."
Although Xiao Guanhong didn't know what was wrong with the old man, he saw that he was crying pitifully. He leaned down and said, "Old man, what's wrong with you? If you have anything to say, stand up and say it carefully."
The old man stood up crying, "Oh, brother, you don't know how miserable I am! Please listen to me!" He cleared his throat again and said, "I, The surname is Fu, Fugui Fu, that guy, let alone how rich he was before!"
The young couple looked at him in confusion, how could such a rich man be like this?
The old man added: "Oh, it's hard to explain in words! I was originally a wealthy man with a lot of money, but my son, who had been stabbed a thousand times, usurped my family property and kicked me out. So now, I live on the street, relying on everything. The boss of the gambling house is a good person, so he can let me eat..."
Shen Feiyan couldn't listen anymore and almost shed tears, "Old man, you are so pitiful that there is such an unfilial son in the world! Old man, tell me, how can we help you?"
When the rich old man heard this, he was very happy and said, "Oh, girl, you are such a good person! In this way, you can lend me ten taels of silver for traveling home first. When I get home, I will get my property back and I will pay you back one thousand two!"
Shen Feiyan was overjoyed: "It's true! That's great, one thousand taels!" He turned back to Xiao Guanhong and said happily: "Brother Xiao, we have money! Give it to him quickly!"
"..." Xiao Guanhong looked helpless and looked at the rich old man suspiciously, "Old man, are you reliable? Even if you came to ask for money to go home, you didn't even ask for ten taels. "
"But I paid back a lot!" The old man stopped crying and said with a smile: "Brother, think about it, ten taels can be exchanged for one thousand taels, it's worth a lot! Besides, with my temperament, ten taels What's the point? Ten taels of silver, ten taels of silver can get you a thousand fortunes! You can't buy ten taels and suffer a loss, you can't buy ten taels and be fooled! It only takes ten taels, it only takes ten taels!"
Shen Feiyan was very moved by these words, "Brother Xiao, don't we still have ten taels? This old man is so pitiful, give it to him quickly."
Xiao Guanhong thought to himself that this woman who had been lying in bed for a hundred years had no brains... but she did not dare to refute, saying: "Old man, I only have ten taels of silver left. If I give it to you, I will be even worse off than you are. .You can still live without money now. If we run out of money, we will starve to death on the road."
After hearing this, the rich old man said repeatedly: "No, no, no, in this way, if you go on the road with me, the food expenses on the road will be mine!"
When Xiao Guanhong heard this, he was shocked and asked, "Where is your home?"
"My home is on the coast of the East China Sea! Let me tell you, my big yard is as big as it needs to be..."
"Stop, stop, stop..." Xiao Guanhong repeatedly stopped, thinking that the old man had caught up! He must have thought that we would think that the East China Sea was too far away from here and would not go with him, so we gave him a few coins to solve the problem. Hum, Use this to cheat money and see how I deal with him! He said happily: "Old man, what a coincidence! We are going to the Oriental Family on the coast of the East China Sea!"
Xiao Guanhong originally thought that the old man would be shocked, but unexpectedly, the old man immediately smiled and said: "Okay, okay, in that case, how about we go together?"
Going together?! Xiao Guanhong thought, this old man doesn’t want to eat for free...
But Shen Feiyan was very happy, "Okay, okay, old man, when I get to your house, I will definitely teach your unfilial son a lesson!"
Seeing Shen Feiyan so happy, Xiao Guanhong didn't dare to expose the old man directly, so he said helplessly: "I said, old man, we don't have much money, and you..."
"It's okay, little brother! When I was young, I lent a lot of money, but now, oh, why don't I come back..." The rich old man sighed and pointed at Xiao Guanhong's sword and said with a smile: "But now, I have a little Brother, if you stand next to me with this guy, how dare they not return it?"
Although Xiao Guanhong felt that it was very unreliable, under Shen Feiyan's galloping, he agreed to take the old man with him and go on the road together.
The rich old man said: "Let's go, let's have a meal before we hit the road!" Then, for this meal, I ordered a table full of delicacies from all over the world, and everything was gone... Xiao Guanhong even wanted to die. : If no one owed this old man money, the three of them would have starved to death on the road! This old man probably has enough life at his old age, but what about me, the meteor swordsman...
The past few days have been peaceful and passed quickly.
Xiao Guanhong and Shen Feiyan were walking with the rich old man and found that there were quite a few people who owed the rich old man. Everywhere he went, the rich old man could find someone to ask for debt.
Of course Xiao Guanhong had to follow him. Every time someone came out from the door, he would hold his sword and pouted his mouth like a gangster, and then the rich old man would ask for money.
Every time he asked for money, it was very strange. The rich old man didn't need an IOU. He first took out a badge from his pocket and showed it to others. It had words printed on it that Xiao Guanhong couldn't understand. Then he mumbled something that Xiao Guanhong couldn't understand. Then the other party also muttered some similar words, like code words. After finishing the "code words", the rich old man officially started to ask for the account.
"You, you bastard, your father lent me two copper coins fifty years ago. Now I have a total of twenty taels of silver with interest. Come and take it out!"
Of course the man refused, "My father is in the coffin now, and I want you to go find him!"
Then the rich old man winked, and Xiao Guanhong quickly pulled out the meteor sword and put it on the man's neck. Then, the money was about to arrive.
So, with the money, Xiao Guanhong was also happy. Not only did he no longer hate the rich old man, but he also coaxed him. He thought that if there were rich old men paying the bills along the way, what would he have to worry about? And the rich old man did not say I will pay you back ten We parted ways for two cents, which made Xiao Guanhong very happy.
As the three of them walked along, Xiao Guanhong discovered that the rich old man not only had many people who owed him money, but he was also alert and knowledgeable. Unexpected dangers on the road could be discovered in advance or resolved one by one by the rich old man. It exerted a bit of Xiao Shuiling's influence.
Xiao Guanhong couldn't help but ask where his ability came from. The rich old man just said that he had lived a long time and had seen a lot.
