Yang Kun knew that this grandfather was a kind-hearted person and would not lie to him, so he followed him in. As soon as he entered, Yang Kun saw a little girl in red sitting at the counter.
"Li'er, why don't you go to bed?" the old man with the white beard asked as soon as he entered the door.
When the little girl in red saw her grandfather coming back, she suddenly lost all sleep. She looked at the white-bearded grandfather with wide eyes and said happily: "Grandpa, you are finally back. I was worried about you, so I couldn't sleep. Hey, this
Who is my brother?"
Yang Kun saw that the little girl was about the same age as him, and she was pretty and cute, so he smiled and said: "My name is unpleasant, so you should call me brother. By the way, what's your name?"
"My name is Xiaoli!" the girl in red replied with a smile.
"Xiaoli, what a great name!" Yang Kun praised.
Xiaoli said: "Why?"
Yang Kun chuckled and said, "As long as the person has a good name, it's good!" This immediately made the grandfather and grandson laugh.
The white-bearded old man, Boss Cai, said to Xiaoli: "Hurry and prepare a room for this young hero."
Xiaoli nodded and said, "Brother, please come upstairs with me."
Yang Kun quickly shook his head and said: "Grandpa, forget it, I, I don't have any money."
Boss Cai smiled and said: "Actually, I have already guessed that you did it to the man just now. If you didn't immobilize him, maybe I would have become his dead soul. I owe you my life, is it possible?
Will I still ask you for the room fee?"
Yang Kun didn't expect that the old man's eyesight was so good that he could guess that he had pinned down the big man with the knife. But he was indeed penniless now. If he went out at this moment and met someone more powerful and cruel, he might not even be able to stop him.
He didn't even know he was going to lose his life so much. So he just agreed, "Then I won't be polite."
Boss Cai's face glowed with pride, and he seemed to like the child in front of him very much. He gently patted Yang Kun on the shoulder and said, "You go up first, and I'll get something to eat."
Yang Kun thanked her and followed Xiaoli up to the third floor.
This Juxiange Inn has three floors in total. The first and second floors are dining places, and the third floor is housing.
Xiaoli led Yang Kun to the last room and said, "It's already full today and only this last room is left. Brother, please stay here."
Yang Kun smiled and said: "It's already pretty good if you don't feel wronged." Then he walked in happily.
The room is very simple, with wooden floors, a wooden table, a wooden bed, and not much else. Although it is very simple, it is very clean.
Xiaoli said: "I'm going to get water and food, just wait a minute!" After that, she walked downstairs, and not long after, she came up with some food and a pot of water.
Yang Kun said with some embarrassment: "It's good to have a place to live, but you can eat and drink for free. Brother, I'm really ashamed."
Xiaoli smiled and said: "Grandpa said that my brother is the savior of our family. These are just simple meals. Compared with my brother's life-saving grace, it is really nothing."
Yang Kun sighed and said: "Actually, it was grandpa who saved me. I was wandering on the road, and it was grandpa who was worried about me, so he held me back. Later, I met the bandit carrying a big knife."
When Xiaoli heard this, she felt like she was listening to a strange story, so she asked curiously: "A bandit carrying a big knife?"
Yang Kun nodded and said, "Yes, those are the bandits from Evil Tiger Hill. They are tall and scary."
Xiao Liqi said: "Then how did you and my grandfather escape?"
Yang Kun was stunned and said: "Well, because I know magic!"
When Xiaoli heard this, she looked at Yang Kun curiously and said, "It turns out that my brother is a cultivator!"
Yang Kun nodded and said: "That's right!"
Xiaoli had already laid out the food, so she said, "Brother, sit down and eat!"
Yang Kun sat down in response, and then said to Xiaoli: "You also sit down and eat with me!"
Xiaoli shook her head and said, "I've already eaten it!"
Yang Kun sighed and said: "When I think about it, no one has eaten with me for many years. My brother and I are the only two people in my family. He often goes out, and I am alone at home."
Xiaoli felt sad when she heard it, so she said, "Okay, I'll eat with you."
Yang Kun's eyes turned red and he said, "Thank you!"
Xiaoli smiled slightly and said: "Brother, since you are a cultivator, why don't you use your skills to make some money? For example, if you join a mercenary group or something, if you receive a generous bounty, you can make a lot of money at once.
It’s quite a lot of gold.”
Yang Kun shook his head and said: "I am still very weak now. No mercenary group will accept a rookie like me."
Xiaoli exclaimed, then suddenly opened her eyes and said joyfully, "Brother, why don't you go hunting?"
Yang Kun raised his head, a little puzzled, and said, "Hunting?"
Xiaoli hummed and said, "My inn has to buy two wild boars from hunters every day. If you can catch a few wild boars, my grandpa will definitely be willing to pay to buy them for you."
When Yang Kun heard this, he thought it was feasible. He thought to himself: "Catch wild boars. Firstly, you can practice martial arts, and secondly, you can make money. Although I won't ask for Boss Cai's money, I won't feel like I owe anything if I live here, and at night
You can still practice with peace of mind.”
So he said to Xiaoli: "Then do you know where there are wild boars?"
Xiaoli nodded and said: "There is a wild boar forest in the southern suburbs of Wolong City, and those hunters caught them from there."
Yang Kun nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll try it tomorrow."
After eating, Xiaoli picked up the leftovers and said to Yang Kun: "It's getting late. Brother, please go to bed early. I'm going down."
Yang Kun nodded and said: "You should go to bed early." Then he sent Xiaoli out of the room. He returned to the room, bolted the door, and sat on the bed. He must not have felt sleepy at all.
"My internal strength is still weak now, so I should practice harder so that I can protect myself and those around me in the future." So he sat cross-legged on the bed, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes slightly, and began to practice Ming Yuan Qi.
The next day, Yang Kun finished his exercises and got out of bed. He took an internal look at his own Ming Yuan Qi and found that it had become stronger, but it was still some time before he reached the second level of Qi refining.
"Dong dong dong!" Three crisp sounds came from the door. Yang Kun was stunned and asked: "Who?"
A delicate female voice came from outside the house, saying: "Brother, it's me!"
Yang Kun opened the door and saw Xiaoli standing outside the door holding a basin of wash water. So he asked: "What is this?"
Xiaoli's face turned slightly red, and she said with some embarrassment: "Here, this is the face wash I got for you!"
Yang Kun took the basin and said politely: "Thank you for taking the trouble." After washing up, Yang Kun went downstairs with Xiaoli.
