Wang Tiezhu smiled, sat down next to him, and chatted with Yan Xuting about what happened in the past two days.
After learning that his junior brother had already educated the city lord, Yan Xiting smiled bitterly, thinking that this was really his junior brother's style.
Near noon, Gu Jieyu and Mu Ling came back.
The difference is that Mu Ling has changed out of her shabby linen clothes and is wearing a pink and white chest-length skirt, which makes her already quiet and lovely look even more dazzling.
"Ah! Senior Brother Yan is out of seclusion?"
Gu Jieyu joked when she saw Yan Xuting hanging out with Wang Tiezhu.
"How's it going? Can you improve your cultivation during this retreat?"
"Junior sister, please stop teasing me..."
Yan Xuting waved his hand and looked at Mu Ling aside.
"This must be Miss Mu, right? I am Yan Xiting, Chengyufeng of the Litian Sword Sect. I heard my junior brother mention you this morning. You are indeed gentle and pleasant, with a refined temperament!"
Hearing his compliment, Mu Ling, who was already shy, blushed instantly and hesitantly thanked him.
"Miss Mu, this is for you."
Wang Tiezhu took out the apology that Zhang Tianlai had given him and handed it to Mu Ling.
Mu Ling took the kit with a puzzled look on her face, opened it, and found that it was full of gold leaves. Her expression immediately changed, and she quickly wanted to return it to Wang Tiezhu.
"Brother Wang! What are you doing? I can't accept this money! Take it back quickly!"
Wang Tiezhu smiled.
"Miss Mu, please don't take pictures of me. This money is not given to you by me, but by the Lord of Chuchan City as an apology to the girl."
"ah……"
Mu Ling was stunned for a moment and said doubtfully.
"Apologise? Why does the City Lord want to apologize to me?"
"Haha, Miss Mu doesn't know something. The dude who harassed you yesterday is the incompetent son of the city lord. But don't worry, girl. After the city lord found out about this, he severely punished his son, and in order to not treat the girl
It caused an impact and specifically asked me to pass the apology to the girl..."
"That man turned out to be the son of the city lord? Then Brother Wang, you beat him yesterday, will nothing happen?"
Looking at the worried Mu Ling, Yan Xuting shook his head helplessly.
"What can happen to this kid who is so lazy? He goes to other people's homes to teach them how to educate their children. What else can happen?"
Wang Tiezhu shook his head slightly and smiled.
"Don't worry, girl, I'm fine. The city lord here is also a man of great righteousness. After understanding the cause of the matter, he didn't make things difficult for me..."
After hearing this, the worry on Mu Ling's face disappeared, and she patted her chest and said.
"That's good, that's good. If Brother Wang becomes the enemy of the city lord because of my affairs, then my sin will be great..."
"Haha, this matter has passed. Don't worry about it, girl. With the money, go and bring your family to live in the city. Isn't your father still ill in bed? Find a doctor to take a look, and then
Let’s buy a house for them to live in for the rest of their lives…”
Zhang Tianlai gave him a whole bag of gold leaves, which was enough to feed Mu Ling and his family for the rest of their lives. It was obvious that he was somewhat sincere.
Mu Ling stared blankly at the kit in her hand, feeling as if she was dreaming.
Yesterday morning, she was still worried about whether she could sell the medicinal herbs her father desperately picked for a good price. Today, she is already wealthy and no longer has to worry about her future life!
And all of this is thanks to the two people in front of her!
If it weren't for Gu Jieyu's generous help at that time, she might have been ruined by that person!
And without the mediation of Wang Tiezhu and the city lord, she would not have gained so much wealth!
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Although they were two strangers, they cared for her so much, which really touched her!
Seeing Mu Ling's eyes turning red and flashing with tears, Gu Jieyu on the side quickly comforted her.
"Sister Mu, don't cry, everything will get better in the future!"
"Thank you...thank you sister and Brother Wang...if it weren't for you, I might...maybe...wuwuwu..."
Mu Ling cried so hard that Gu Jieyu stroked her back, held her in her arms, and winked at the two men next to her.
"Senior brother, it seems we are being disliked..."
After hearing Wang Tiezhu's words, Yan Xuting smiled and stood up from the table.
"Since you are disliked, then just go out! There seem to be fewer people on the street now, so take this time to go to the market!"
"Huh? No lunch?"
"Didn't you mention this morning that there are foods unique to southern Xinjiang around the market? I just happened to taste them too!"
"That's fine..."
Wang Tiezhu nodded, and then he and Yan Xiting said goodbye to Gu Jieyu, and they walked towards the center of the city together.
Not long after, there was a southern Xinjiang specialty restaurant near the market.
Yan Xiting's face turned green. Looking at the plates of "special dishes" placed in front of him, not only did he not feel the slightest appetite, but he actually felt a little nauseous.
"Junior brother, is this the special dish you said?"
Yan Xiting asked, pointing to a plate of fried grasshoppers.
"yes!"
Wang Tiezhu, who was enjoying his meal, raised his head when he heard this, with a look of confusion on his face.
"The most unique food in southern Xinjiang is undoubtedly the 'Hundred Insects Feast'. There are only two of us, so I ordered three kinds of insects. Brother, please try it! Even though this thing looks amazing, it tastes great.
Got it!"
After that, Wang Tiezhu picked up another fried grasshopper and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing it loudly, making a clicking sound.
"..."
Yan Xuting looked at Wang Tiezhu who was enjoying himself, and felt helpless in his heart.
He had just finished the retreat. In normal times, he would have taken Bigu Dan before the retreat, but they did not have it now, so he needed to eat something after the retreat to replenish his physical strength.
However, these dark, ferocious-looking insects before him made it really hard for him to swallow.
but……
"Gululu."
After touching his hungry belly and looking at Wang Tiezhu who was feasting, Yan Xuting felt his heart skip a beat, gritted his teeth, picked up a bug and put it into his mouth.
"That's all! Just eat it! Could it be possible that you can poison me to death?"
While thinking about it, Yan Xuting started chewing heavily.
While chewing, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
"Huh? What's going on? Is this the smell of bugs? Why is it so... delicious!"
Yan Xiting's eyes suddenly lit up, he hesitated, picked up another one and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hmm! It smells so good! It tastes so delicious! I didn't expect it to be so delicious under this ferocious appearance! I'm sure you won't deceive me, little junior brother!"
After two attempts, he completely let down his guard and began to enjoy the special dishes in front of him.
In the blink of an eye, three plates of worms had been eaten clean by the two of them...
