The Seven-leaf Puppet in the North
The spiritual guide trains in Beiye Kingdom are all year round and can be purchased for 24 hours. Each train is very punctual and there is almost no delay, so there is no need to wait for a long time.
People are always willing to look at beautiful girls, but the man next to her with an iron box on her back obviously attracts the attention of people around her. Even in summer, Beifeng City cannot be much warmer. What's more, it's just early spring and the light rain is constantly coming, but Adam is only wearing thin clothes and cannot feel the cold at all.
The two arrived at Beifeng City at 5 a.m. and ran around one day and one night. On the train, Mo Linger told Adam everything she knew. After resting for half an hour, she was still exhausted. She was so tired that she could fall asleep even when she stood. She followed her as she was walking behind her.
"Or why don't you go back to Lingwan first and just leave the rest to me. It's okay for you to go back alone?"
Mo Ling'er can no longer help in this way, and he knows everything he should know, so he knows what to do next.
Mo Ling'er let out a long sigh and finally came back. She had done everything she could. Now she was only worried about Mo Qiunian and the others' situation. Fengxi Castle was lost, and they could not return to Lingwan. They didn't know where they were hiding, but with Xiao Shu following him, nothing should happen.
But if she hadn't confirmed with her own eyes that Mo Qiunian was safe and sound, she wouldn't have the intention to rest. It was just that Beifeng City was so big that it was possible for the three of them to hide wherever they were. There was no way to find them. The only thing that could be sure was that when Nolan was executed, Nuoyan would never stand by and watch, and he would definitely do something.
"Today is the trial day, it's already seven o'clock now. Generally speaking, the execution will be noon at noon, and there are still five hours at most. I can hold on to such a little time, no problem." Mo Ling'er patted her cheek hard. How could she sleep at this time?
Adam was not persuading. This was not his strength. Since Mo Ling'er insisted, she would do it. It was still the familiar North Wind City. The people on the streets were wrapped in thick clothes. The only difference was probably himself. After all, it has been so long, and I don't know if they can recognize themselves.
"Let's go, I hope they are still alive, ha, have they been so lazy?"
"who?"
"Seven Leaves."
What Adam couldn't understand the most was that Ye Bei was assassinated. With Qiye there, why was he succeeded so easily? Even Princess and Princesses and Princess discovered that this was impossible. Of course, if they were all dead, it would be another matter.
There are only three guests in a small tavern in the slums of Beifeng City today, but this is the best business in recent days. The people here don’t have much spare money to drink or time. For them, they have done their best to be able to survive.
From time to time, there will be people drinking on credit to cause trouble. They all think that the tavern will go bankrupt if it is not open for long, but they never thought that it will last for ten years. No matter how bad the weather is or how bad the business is, it will still open at 6 am and close at 9 pm every day, without any change.
"Lao Ye, I have always wanted to ask you a question. Look, I am an old customer. Just tell me the truth, why don't you change the business hours? Open the door at night and close the door in the morning. Maybe there will be more customers. Think about it, except for drinking alcoholics who are not worth their lives in broad daylight, everyone has to make money to support their families. Without customers, how can you make money?" Hughes asked curiously.
The owner of the tavern is a middle-aged blonde dressed very decently and wore glasses and looked very gentle. At first glance, he thought he was a noble master. He always held an empty wine glass in his hand, and he would pour half a cup from time to time and taste it for half a day.
"There are many ghosts at night, and I'm afraid to scare this kid. Besides, if I want to make money, how could I open a tavern here?"
The boss took out a bottle of red wine from the wine cabinet behind him, poured a small cup, and shook it gently. The red wine was like a flowing gem, and it tasted a little. The sour taste filled the taste buds, like silk slipping across the tongue, soft and smooth.
"Ghost? You mean those drunkards who make trouble all day long. Yes, Xiaolin is still young. If someone makes trouble, you can't handle it alone. The guards in our place don't care. As long as they don't cause death, they are too lazy to care. To put it bluntly, they just let the poor die. Alas, sometimes I really envy those nobles how to make money so well. The money I have worked hard for most of my life is not enough for others to have a meal."
Hughes looked like he was complaining about the world. He really didn't understand why there was such a big gap between people. They were fortunate to work hard and work hard to survive. But those nobles spent hundreds and thousands of leaf-patterned gold with a wave of their hands. Maybe it was just a dish, maybe it was just a bottle of wine.
"Come on, I believe you will definitely become a nobleman. Then you will be rich, don't forget to buy me some gifts, after all, I support you so much."
The young wine waiter held a wooden plate and placed a large glass of golden ale in front of Hughes, still teasing the middle-aged unsuccessful man.
"Hey, you guy dares to laugh at me. Lao Ye, don't care about him. What does this attitude towards customers look like?" Hughes cursed with a smile. In fact, the relationship between the two is already so familiar that they can't be more familiar with each other. It has become a daily routine for them to break up each other.
"Hmph, you clearly said to me first. What do you mean that I am still young? I can knock those drunkards down with one hand, okay?" Ye Lin put down the wooden plate, lifted up her sleeves and gestured at Hughes twice.
"You can do it, put down your sleeves quickly, so you can get sick again, and you will be as thin as a flagpole. You can just hold your plate. You can't fight with people. If you see, this is called muscle."
Hughes had just taken a sip of wine and was almost squirted by Ye Lin. He suppressed his smile and rolled up his sleeves. The veins on his strong arms were exposed. He was doing physical work, and nothing else was good. Ye Lin could not match him even more physically than three.
Had the drunkard knocked down with one hand? If this was said from others, Hughes might have believed in three points, but Ye Lin was so thin. The 14-year-old boy's thighs were not as thick as his arms. He was afraid that he would blow him away if the wind was a little bit stronger. He was still swaying in a state of breath.
"Okay, Hughes, you are still competing with Xiaolin. How old are you? You have to be more shameless. What if you don't have any work today? You come to drink early in the morning. Didn't you come to have a drink at night before? Could it be that someone was fired?" The guest at another table teased.
"Fuck, whoever listens to your crow's mouth? How could I be fired? I'm not in a hurry today. Work will start at noon. What's wrong with me here for a drink?"
"Haha, just kidding, drink slowly, we still have a job, let's go first, Lao Ye, I've put the money here, I paid back the whole piece of the last time."
The two guests at the other table put down their money, got up and left the tavern. Drinking such a drink every day is the most pleasant time in their lives. If you step out of this tavern, troubles and pressure will come to your face, but they have to step out.
"Not enough, there are still five Ye Wenjin shorts." Ye Lin skipped and took the money from the table. As expected, the man still hadn't paid it back. I don't know how many times it was.
"Well, write it down and ask him to make up for it next time."
"Old Ye, you have been in business for so many years. If you want to change me, I will close the door and run away long ago. Every day, it's okay if you don't have business, but you are always owed money. To be honest, are you a noble and rich businessman? Are you here to watch us poor people joke? " Hughes finished drinking the ale in one breath and asked boredly.
"I am not a nobleman, nor a wealthy businessman. I am just the owner of a tavern. Haven't you asked this question long ago?"
"Have I asked? I can't remember it. Oh, I'm getting more angry the more I think about it. Why do I have no money or power? I'm exhausted all day long? Lao Ye, do you think that those nobles are better than me? Isn't it just one of them chosen a good belly when they were born? After all, without us, what do they eat and drink? But as a result, they enjoy exquisite food, hug beautiful women from left to right, and have to fight from time to time, but we are the ones who suffer. Do you think this is fair?"
After drinking a glass of wine, Hughes couldn't control his mouth and kept pouring bitter water out. He had lived this kind of life for half his life, but he could not see the end at all.
"Don't ask me, whether it is fair or not should be judged by anyone. Besides, what can happen if it is not fair? This is the reality, and complaining is useless. Let's have another drink, I'll treat you."
"It's cheaper for you, this wine is much more expensive than what you drink."
Ye Lin took the bottle, took a high-legged cup and placed it in front of Hughes. The red wine slid into the wall of the cup, clear and transparent. Hughes had never dared to order this kind of wine. In his impression, only the nobles could afford to drink the red wine. He had never seen anyone order this kind of wine for so many years.
"Why are you doing so stingy? You just changed the cup and poured the cup just now. Lao Ye said he would treat me to drink, so why don't you forget about this bottle?"
Hughes rubbed his hands and smiled. The gloom that had originally enveloped his heart was dispersed by this glass of wine. This was a wine that only nobles could afford to drink. I didn't expect that he could taste it in his lifetime. I don't know what it tasted. I always watched Lao Ye drink it, but he was so envious, but he didn't even dare to ask about the price.
"Do you have common sense? The cup just now has been overturned with ale. Do you know if it continues to use it? You also give you the whole bottle, just one cup, no more."
Hughes was about to retort when he suddenly heard the wind chime ringing at the door.
"How about giving me a drink?"
The boss's hand was slightly resting. He didn't recognize the woman, but even after so many years, he still recognized this man at a glance. Ye Sheng, who left eight years ago, had left.
