Dou Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and said in astonishment: "What? Martial arts secrets? These things are not cheap!"
Zhong Lingxi smiled and added: "Hey, I'm asking for my family, how can I have so much money?"
Hearing this, the young man was a little relieved. Just now, he was afraid that the other party would say, "My aunt has a lot of money" or "This is all small money." After all, if she were a maid or a maid from a big family, Dou Xiaowu would still
Can grit one's teeth and work hard.
If it were a young lady from a rich family, the possibility of the two of them getting together would be almost zero.
Dou Xiaowu scratched his head, leaned forward and whispered: "Actually, our Feng Shui Gang does not allow this matter to be spread, but... since you have spoken, girl!"
The young man mustered up his courage and said in a deep voice: "I will find a way to get it for you." After saying this, Dou Xiaowu froze on the spot and smiled stupidly at the beautiful girl.
Zhong Lingxi originally heard the word "but" said by the other party, and thought that there was probably a clue to the matter. But after hearing what the young man said behind her, she was a little stunned, and then looked at the red expression on the other party's face. What about this smart girl?
I couldn't guess the meaning of this young man's words.
I sighed secretly in my heart, but still pretended not to understand what the man said, and happily agreed: "Thank you very much, don't worry I won't let your help go in vain, I'll give this to you!"
After saying that, he took out a piece of silver from his waist, stuffed it into Dou Xiaowu's hand, and said softly: "Thank you, you are such a good person!"
Dou Xiaowu looked at the silver ingot in his hand and the girl's sincere praise of "a good person", but he couldn't feel happy in his heart, but he still forced a smile and said:
"Actually, the Feng Shui Gang did not have so many martial arts secrets before, and they have only gradually increased in the past six months. This is not a secret. All business experts in the world know this news."
Zhong Lingxi asked intentionally or unintentionally: "Then do you know why it happened so suddenly? It couldn't be that your gang leader suddenly became enlightened and fell in love with martial arts to strengthen his body and studied secret books?"
Dou Xiaowu smiled helplessly and replied: "I don't know about that. I'm just a peripheral disciple of the Feng Shui Gang. Who can guess the thoughts of Gang Leader Yan, but I don't think he is a martial arts fanatic."
"Oh? How do you say this?" the beautiful girl asked next.
"I can't say, but I don't think it's a Wu Chi. At the very least, he is a madman! Gang Leader Yan is not crazy at all, he is very smart!" the young man muttered in a low voice.
Zhong Lingxi covered her mouth and smiled: "You actually said that about your gang leader, and let others hear it, and you are not afraid of suing you?"
Seeing the girl's coquettish smile, the man looked a little dumbfounded for a moment and said hesitantly: "Uh, uh, um, no, everyone said that..."
The two chatted for a while, and Dou Xiaowu took Zhong Lingxi to a boat mooring at the Buffalo Pier.
The young man asked the girl to follow him, and he boarded the full ship first.
The Mancang Ship is a unique ship in Chunfeng Town. Because the belly of the ship is huge, like a full warehouse, it is named after the Mancang. The Mancang is thirty feet long, ten feet wide, and five feet high. Even if it is full of cargo, it will float
The part above the water is two feet long. Even if the Chunfeng River has abundant water all year round, this kind of boat is still huge.
"Hey, I wonder who is here? Isn't this Brother Dou in front of the dock! What happened? Did you dig out gold when you went out on the boat? How did you get here? Don't tell me, you are lost, right?"
A harsh voice came from the cabin.
Dou Xiaowu paused and felt the girl behind him also stop. He turned around apologetically and whispered softly: "You wait here for a while, I will go in and deal with it first."
After saying that, he walked into the cabin in three steps and two steps at a time.
There were a lot of people in the cabin at this time, most of them were just wandering around, and only a few were talking about buying and selling. These sellers were sitting on the floor in the cabin, and they spread out the things they wanted to sell in front of them. If you look closely, although the objects are not big,
But most of them are precious objects such as Dongzhu and jade.
Standing at the door was a young man with a huge mole at the corner of his eye. He was wearing a dark purple robe with his sleeves rolled up in a very graceless manner. He must have been the owner of the harsh voice just now.
Dou Xiaowu narrowed his eyes and stared at the wretched man in front of him, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Handian! Why are you here?"
Speaking of which, this young man with a big mole on his face was acquainted with Dou Xiaowu. He was a well-known poor man in Buffalo Wharf. He relied on his youth and vigor and cultivated a trace of inner strength to bully the weak and fear the strong in Buffalo Wharf.
To say that this person is running rampant in the countryside is not to say that he is not that bad. It is not that his character is not that bad, it is mainly because his own strength is not enough.
Although most of the outer disciples of the Feng Shui Gang have practiced the Buffalo Body Forging Technique, not many of them have really improved, but there are still a few among the huge base. This very small group of people will soon be able to succeed as long as they pass the internal strength test.
Will be absorbed into the official Feng Shui gang.
And this Liu Handian was an outer sect disciple who had made some progress. Naturally, he would not foolishly provoke those formal gang members who had advanced cultivation. However, most of the new outer sect disciples had been bullied by them.
Dou Xiaowu is one of them, but through hard training in the past two years, he has also developed some inner strength. In a conflict with Liu Handian some time ago, he almost beat him up.
"Me? Haha, I was invited by the owner here! What about you? You poor guy, you got lost and accidentally walked into the semicolon of Dizitang!" The young man with the black mole on his face laughed wildly.
He said, and these words also aroused the ridicule of some naughty people around him.
This Mancang Ship is the semi-colon of a Dizitang. The Dizitang mentioned here refers to the Dizitang, one of the three halls of the Feng Shui Gang. Its leader is naturally the scholar who always wears a white robe.
The dressed-up Zhang Yaoyao is also the financial manager of the entire Chunfeng Town.
The reason why Dou Xiaowu brought Zhong Lingxi here is because all the really good things in Chunfeng Town will be gathered in the semicolon of Dizitang, which is the official trading place of Chunfeng Town.
Of course, good things come at a high price, so that’s why Liu Handian made the sarcastic comment he just made before entering the door.
The beautiful girl standing outside the cabin was, after all, a warrior of the Mang Realm, and she still had good ears. She frowned slightly and thought to herself: Since she wanted help from others, there was no reason to watch the other person being ridiculed.
Zhong Lingxi lifted her legs and walked into the ship full of warehouses.
What comes into view is the huge space inside the ship, as well as the high bulging roof, which is like a ceiling. There are many people sitting on the floor in the cabin, placing the redeemed items on the ground. If someone sees something, they will squat down and talk to the seller.
Talk, and if the two parties reach an agreement, the transaction will be carried out here.
The girl's attention was quickly attracted by the people in front of her. They were Dou Xiaowu and Liu Handian, whom both of them disliked.
When the young man with the big mole saw another person coming in at the door, he didn't pay much attention at first. He just glanced at it, but he couldn't move away after just one glance!
If the girl in front of him was so stunning to Liu Handian, the young man thought that he had seen many rich ladies over the years, if not one thousand, or eight hundred, but none of them could compare to the one in front of him.
He is different from Dou Xiaowu, an innocent boy. The young man with a big mole has been hanging out in this buffalo pier for many years. He has also been to this place many times. Of course, he is not here to buy anything, but as he said, he is "
Invited".
But there is another reason for inviting him here. After all, he is also a famous gangster in this area. Let him simply maintain order at the door and give him three melons and two dates every day, which can solve a lot of unnecessary troubles for the boss.
However, Liu Handian was always proud of this. In fact, everyone knew in their hearts that the owner of Dizitang just tied him in front of the door and treated him like a dog.
"Huh! You surnamed Dou, don't be so shameless! Where is this place? Did a poor guy like you come here? Don't be an eyesore here and block the arrival of distinguished guests!" Liu Handian frowned, his triangular eyes standing upright.
He spoke so clearly that even the mole at the corner of his eye became dark and bright!
Dou Xiaowu's face was gloomy. He did not look back at the door, and naturally he did not notice that Zhong Lingxi had come behind him.
"Xiao Wu, who is this person? He is so noisy!" Zhong Lingxi asked coldly.
The young man was stunned for a moment, then looked sideways at the girl beside him in astonishment. He didn't know how to answer for a moment, pointed at himself with his finger, and stammered: "You, you called me, Xiao, Xiao Wu?"
However, the young man with the big mole beside him was a little unbelievable!
How is it possible? How could this beautiful woman be related to this poor guy? Could it be that she was mistaken? It’s impossible. My Liu’s eyes have withstood the test of the masses. This beauty, both in terms of appearance and temperament,
They must all be our children!
While Liu Handian was making calculations in his mind, Zhong Lingxi pulled Dou Xiaowu, who was still giggling on the spot, and walked towards the cabin without paying attention to the young man with the big mole.
Zhong Lingxi looked at the things on the various stalls around her, her eyes sparkling. Yes, as the eldest lady of the Zhong family, her eyesight was much better than that of most people present.
In a girl's words, she can't tell whether these jades and dong beads are good or bad? In short, those that give people a different feeling from her own dong beads and jades are definitely not good things.
However, the beautiful girl did not come forward to talk to these sellers. She knew her mission this time.
Soon Dou Xiaowu took him to a stall in the corner of the cabin.
"Master Zhang, Xiao Wu wishes you well!" The young man walked to the stall and said hello to the stall owner. It was obvious that the two of them had known each other before.
"Eh? Why is it you? Didn't I tell you that I don't accept disciples? It's enough to teach you the buffalo body-building technique. Why did you come to see me!" As soon as Mr. Zhang saw Dou Xiaowu,
, then he opened his mouth and shouted.
The young man's face instantly turned red, and he replied calmly: "San, Third Master! I'm not asking you for martial arts advice. I'm too stupid to expect you to teach me. I'm here with my friends this time."
After saying this, Mr. Zhang discovered that there was a girl standing behind the young man. Mr. Zhang was a man who had seen the world, so he naturally saw how extraordinary this beautiful girl was.
The main reason why Zhong Lingxi did not wear a mask to cover his face this time like when he first bought river mussels at the dock was to understand the true origin of this martial arts secret book, or to find out something deeper.
Therefore, we cannot deal with marginal figures like Dou Xiaowu like we did the first time.
"Miss, what do you want to buy here?" Mr. Zhang, who was dressed as a wealthy businessman, asked cheerfully.
Zhong Lingxi did not answer the other party immediately, but lowered his head and looked at the stall in front of the middle-aged man. Most of them contained some medicines, some for promoting muscle growth and stopping bleeding, some for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis...etc.
The girl caught a glimpse of a red bottle in the corner with "Insect Breath Pill" written on it.
Zhong Lingxi stretched out her hand and said calmly: "How to sell this?"
Mr. Zhang didn't even lower his head and replied with a smile: "Insect Breath Pill, if you take it, you can avoid insects for twelve hours. If you apply it on the wound, it can also relieve the toxin of poisonous insects. It has its own fragrance. Five taels of silver a piece."
There are twenty pieces in this bottle. How many do you want, girl?"
Zhong Lingxi smiled slightly. She also had the Insect Breath Pill at home. It was a relatively common pill, but the effect was not as great as the other party said. It could only relieve non-toxic mosquito bites, and it could only delay the attack of poisonous insects.
It lasts for a while, but it has no detoxification and relief effect. And the price is a bit high. Normally, it costs about three taels per piece.
"Okay, let's have a bottle!" Zhong Lingxi said cheerfully.
"It's your first time here, girl. This bottle will cost you eighty taels!" Zhang San also saw the girl's profound background and said in a friendly tone.
Zhong Lingxi handed over a red silver note, which was exactly one hundred taels. He smiled and shook his head and said, "No, just one hundred taels. But there is a rule in this business. I wonder if the third master knows about it?"
The middle-aged man raised his eyebrows, took the bank note without any emotion, and asked, "What are the rules?"
"The first time you make a deal, you don't bargain. After that, we become friends!" Zhong Lingxi said with a smile.
Zhang San's eyes flashed, and he said with a smile: "Well, little friend, do you have any other advice?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhong Lingxi immediately calmed down and said calmly:
"May I ask Third Master, do you sell martial arts secrets here?"
The middle-aged man frowned, glanced at Dou Xiaowu who was already stunned behind the girl, and responded with a gloomy expression: "Sell!"
The beautiful girl smiled and continued to ask: "How to sell it?"
"One thousand taels for Vientiane level and five thousand taels for inheritance level!" Mr. Zhang replied coldly.
"Does the Feng Shui Gang know about such a high price?" the girl asked seemingly unintentionally.
The middle-aged man's expression changed and he snorted coldly: "Humph! Do you want to buy it or not?"
Zhong Lingxi spread his hands and said: "I want to buy the secret book, and of course I can afford it, but you have to tell me why you buy it and why you sell it!"
Mr. Zhang looked at the beautiful girl in front of him and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"
"Hehe, does it matter who I am, Third Master? But if I don't get the answer, I will finally ask the Feng Shui Gang to find out what happened here. That will be very important!" Zhong Lingxi said seemingly mischievously.
Mr. Zhang, whose original name is Zhang Weiduan, is a famous big businessman in Buffalo Wharf. With the name of Dizitang, the name Weiduan has been gradually forgotten by people, and was replaced by Mr. San!
However, Mr. Zhang, who has been a leader in businessmanship for many years, sadly found out that he had been defeated continuously when he faced this mysterious girl today. At this time, facing the threat of Zhong Lingxi, there was even a hint of murder in his eyes.
meaning.
"What on earth do you want to do?!" the middle-aged man lowered his voice and roared.
"I suggest you don't know what I want to do, otherwise you will definitely regret it. The only thing that can prevent you from regretting it now is to tell me why you bought it and why you sold it?"
Just when Mr. Zhang opened his mouth and was about to answer, Zhong Lingxi interrupted him and said: "Please note, I am asking you, not you!"
