Chapter 23 The money is gone

When he was far enough away from Wangyou City, after some careful sensing, the old man ensured that the leader of the Xingyue Sect was not chasing him, then he slowed down his tendency to rush forward and found a place where no one was around to land.

Come down.

Ergou may have been slightly dizzy after landing because it was his first time flying in the sky, and he was unsteady on the ground, but he still couldn't stop the excitement in his heart.

"Old man, you are so handsome, so handsome! I must become a first-class master!"

The old man was a little relieved to see the excited Jiang Ergou. If he had known that Qi Control Flying would have such a great impact on Ergou, he would have stopped hiding it.

"Hahaha! Then you will have to endure hardships from now on! You will suffer when the time comes, but don't give up!"

"Old man, in order to become a first-class master, I am not afraid of anything."

"Okay, okay, don't talk about what's available and what's not available now, let's wake up the little Yuyu on the ground."

Ergou looked at Su Ruyu who was sleeping soundly and did not rush to wake him up. After all, he had just fainted and was carried around in the sky again. It was better to let him rest now! Otherwise, he should

Nervous breakdown.

Two hours have passed, and the old man has gone from sitting around doing nothing to shaking his head and falling asleep, and now he is still asleep.

Ergou may have been stimulated by the strength of a first-level master. During the past two hours, it was rare for him to sit cross-legged on the ground and use his sword skills that had been put aside for a long time.

Su Ruyu, who was on the ground, might have slept long enough. She woke up in a daze, and when she opened her eyes, she looked at Jiang Ergou, who was sitting cross-legged.

Ergou was only at level seven, and could hardly release his internal strength. Therefore, when Su Ruyu looked over, he seemed to be sleeping cross-legged.

"Ergou, where are you doing? Are you sleeping with your legs crossed? Aren't your legs sore?"

Hearing Su Ruyu's voice, Ergou slowly opened his eyes.

"What are you talking about? I'm practicing Kung Fu. When I become a first-class master, let's see if I don't beat you into a pig's head."

When Su Ruyu heard Er Gou's words, she thought that Er Gou's confusion had returned.

"Ergou, can we stop daydreaming? Are you the only one who can become a first-class master? If nothing else..."

Having said this, Su Ruyu glanced around, but couldn't find any good reference. She only saw an old man sleeping on the ground.

"If nothing else, at least this old man is also a first-class master!"

Before, when the old man and Xingyue Sect Elder Xiao Qi started fighting, Su Ruyu had already fainted. When the old man took him and Ergou flying in the sky, he could not wake up. It could be said that he had perfectly avoided the old man.

When showing strength.

Ergou had already guessed that he would point at the sleeping old man, and also understood that he did not know the truth, so he followed the pole and hit the snake.

"Okay, it's agreed! If this old man can become a first-class master, you believe that I can also become a first-class master!"

In response to this, Su Ruyu put her hands on her hips and appeared very unconvinced. She always felt that this matter was absolutely impossible.

"Yes, I said it! If such a crooked old man is a first-class master, then this first-class master is too worthless!"

"Hahaha, Su Ruyu! My Mr. Su! Xiao Yuyu! You don't know this, do you know who led us out! It's this old man! He is really a first-class master!"

"What!!! Is this old man a first-class man? I don't believe it, even if I beat him to death, I wouldn't believe it."

Seeing Su Ruyu's jaw dropped, Ergou was very satisfied.

"It's useless if you don't believe it! Let me ask you, do you know how strong the Xingyue Sect is? Without the support of a first-class master, we two brothers could have broken into the Renzongmen and even peeked at Renshao Sect Master

Taking a bath, can you let us go so easily?"

"Then I would rather believe that a passing expert saved us."

"But the facts are right in front of you! Xiao Yuyu, stop struggling. As you said, if anyone passing by is a first-class master, then this one is too worthless!"

Then, Jiang Ergou told what happened after Su Ruyu fainted. Of course, there were all kinds of embellishments in the middle.

It was obviously the old man who restrained the elder Xiao Qi, but the two dogs insisted on saying that they were tied, and even described a fight scene in which the sky was dark and the sun and the moon dimmed.

Then, the old man finally gained the upper hand.

At that time, the other party came out with a first-level sect leader. With one against two, the old man was somewhat powerless, so he had to run away with them.

What's more, they obviously only chased him for a short distance, but in Ergou's words, everyone was determined to fight to the death, and the old man managed to escape with great effort.

Out of the blue, Ergou also said at the end that before they escaped, the old man had a fight with the clan leader and was injured, so where could he adjust his breathing?

In the end, Ergou did not forget to remind Su Ruyu: From now on, anyone who meets the Xingyue Sect will run as far as they can! Now, they have a huge hatred for each other.

In fact, given Ergou’s eloquence, it would be a shame to not write a novel or become a storyteller!

Ergou's words startled Su Ruyu, who had just woken up, and she became doubtful as to whether the old man was a first-class master.

"Er Gou, according to you, that old man is really a first-class expert?"

The two dogs suddenly raised their necks.

"Guaranteed replacement if fake!"

What Su Ruyu disliked the most was Ergou's arrogant look, so she glanced sideways at him.

"Hmph! Let me tell you, don't be too proud. Even if this old man is really a first-class master, I don't believe you can become a first-class master!"

"Hey, you don't mean what you say again!"

"What's the use of saying it? I said you can become a first-class master and you can do it? Let's wait until you become a first-class master!"

Over there, the old man who had already woken up a long time ago saw that the conversation was coming to an end, so he stopped pretending to be asleep and eavesdropped, and pretended to stretch and opened his eyes.

Su Ruyu, who was originally arguing with Jiang Ergou, saw the old man wake up and stopped pestering Ergou. He ran to the old man's side in a few steps, looked at him left and right, and continued to utter broken words in his mouth.

Broken thoughts.

"Si, it doesn't look like it, it really doesn't look like it! It doesn't look like it at first glance!"

The old man who knew the whole story certainly knew what he didn't mean, so he slapped him on the forehead unceremoniously.

"It's your grandma's. Old man, I don't look like Yipin. Who does? You?"

After saying that, he slapped him on the forehead again, causing Ergou who was watching the show to laugh.

"Why are you laughing? Didn't you say you are? Are you very good at saying yes? You even had a fight with the leader of Xingyue Sect. Why don't you say that I can fight all the first-level masters in the world by myself? Grandma, I used to be a bastard.

, now there are two of us, how can I, the old man, survive! Grandma, I’m hungry, why don’t you two get up and find a place to eat!”



On the official road to Qingzhou City, there was a simple hotel built with thatched grass on the roadside for pedestrians to rest. There were only two people greeting the hotel, including the shopkeeper and the waiter.

In fact, although the hotel is dilapidated, because there are so many pedestrians passing by, the business of this only place where you can stay and rest within ten miles is very prosperous.

But even so, the shopkeeper is still unwilling to hire an extra waiter. He would rather be busy himself and save the monthly money of only a few cents.

The three of them walked all the way, not knowing what was going on around them. They were hungry for several hours before they found this small shop along the official road.

"Waiter, don't worry about anything else. Just serve whatever food is available, serve whatever wine is available, and have a few big bowls of white rice. The money is not bad!"

Before Su Ruyu even stepped into the hotel, a feeble voice could be heard coming in. Coupled with the difficulty in walking due to being too hungry, it was not difficult to tell that he was about to starve to death.

"Okay, the three guest officers have been traveling hard, please come in! I'll ask the cook at the back to join the queue for you three, and serve your food first!"

The waiter in this shop is somewhat discerning. When he saw that the young man in front of him was very outstanding both in his dress and his temperament, he knew that he had come to a big business, so that he could get an extra ten or twenty copper coins at the end of the month.

If you receive a reward, you will work hard to express yourself.

Sure enough, within two minutes, the three people's table began to be served. Since Su Ruyu said that it would be served casually, the waiter really served nine dishes to the three of them, and they were the nine most expensive dishes.

It's not that the waiter in this restaurant doesn't want to serve a few more dishes and get a few more copper coins as a reward, but no matter how hard these three people can eat, they can only eat this. If they continue to serve, they should be thrown away in the end.

The waiter himself is usually a farmer, so he naturally feels very sorry for the food that he has worked so hard to dig out from the fields, so he would rather take a few less coins than waste it.

food.

The three people at the table started eating and drinking wildly without waiting for the dishes to be served.

I don’t know whether it was because they were hungry for too long or because the expressions of the three of them were exaggerated, which made the waiter who was watching on the side a little annoyed: Why don’t we serve more dishes? With the appearance of the three of them, they can eat even fifteen dishes.

Wipe it clean and leave nothing behind!

The three of them came and ate faster, and they drank the bottle of wine as tea. They only took a sip when they choked. The three of them ate up a large table of food.

"You three, looking at you like this, would you like some more?"

The waiter found a suitable opportunity and asked, wanting to recover his losses.

"That's enough, that's enough. I'm already full. I was too hungry just now and didn't pay attention. I ate too much at once! Burp!"

Ergou burped as soon as he finished speaking, which disappointed the waiter. But he was disappointed, and he had to continue talking.

"Then...the three of you want to settle the bill?"

"Yes, but you have to look for him when paying the bill!"

Ergou pointed at Su Ruyu who was sitting opposite. The waiter probably also expected that the person paying the bill was the young master, so he turned his attention to Su Ruyu.

"Haha, this young man has a small shop with small profits but quick turnover. He only has one, two or three coins in total."

Su Ruyu nodded, said nothing, and just put her hands into her clothes.

But after a long time, he dug around and touched around, but no money was found.

In the end, he could only smile awkwardly at the waiter. He pulled Jiang Ergou away and whispered in his ear.

"It's broken, Ergou, the money is lost!"

Hearing that the money was lost, Ergou became anxious. This was the life and fortune of three people!

"I'll go...where did you lose it?"

"How do I know where it was lost? It probably fell in the garden of the young master of the Xingyue Sect."

"Then...what should we do now? Just watch!"

Ergou glanced at the waiter secretly and knew that it was impossible to evade the order this time.

"How do I know? By the way, you masters and disciples travel around the world without even a penny?"

"I already told you that we are traveling around the world, so what kind of money do we have to bring! Besides, the old man and I have been living in the mountains, where will the money come from!"

When the waiter saw this, he knew what was going on. His wise eyes had already seen through everything.

"I said, you won't have no money, will you?"

"How could it be possible? How could it be possible? It's just, brother, look at how much we've eaten, why don't you give us a discount?"

At the critical moment, Ergou stood up and spoke through gritted teeth.

"Just tell me how much money you have left!"

The waiter must have seen many tricks like this before, and he could tell what they were planning at a glance.

"That's all."

Hearing what the waiter said, Ergou quickly took out an old bag from his pocket and poured out all the copper coins and a few tiny pieces of silver.

This was what was left from the two people's performing arts before they met Su Ruyu, and it just came in handy this time.

The waiter glanced at the pile of broken silver and copper plates on the table with disgust, and then counted them.

"You only have a little more than one tael of silver! You're still two taels short of it!"

"Hahaha! So what, brother, we were in a hurry this time and the young master lost his money bag. Do you think this is good? We will come here again next time! How about I give you ten taels of silver as a reward, I promise.

No loss to you."

In order to show off, Ergou even recognized Su Ruyu as his young master. He couldn't help it, but among the three people here, he was the one who looked most like a young master and he was really a young master!

The waiter looked at the three of them suspiciously, but there was really nothing he could do.

"Let's go! Let's go! Damn it, just call me unlucky! That stingy shopkeeper will definitely lose this month's reward!"

"Hahaha, I'm so sorry! Second brother, next time, next time, I will definitely give you ten taels as a reward!"

"Go, go, go! Why are you asking for rewards? How can you pretend to be a rich man if you don't have money! I should have guessed that you are here to eat for free. You are so anxious that you look like you haven't eaten in eight lifetimes!"

Faced with the resentment of the waiter, the three of them did not dare to say a word, picked up their luggage and ran out of the hotel in despair.
