You Huang had finally entered that ordinary town. He didn't know that a danger was quickly approaching him.
When he arrived at the mortal world, he discovered that this beautiful and enchanting place required money for everything.
The fruit he had brought along with him and the two steamed buns given by the kind auntie had already been eaten long ago. He did not have money. He could not afford anything that smelled good on the street. He could only stay hungry.
How much he missed that dark place of his. With him, he was the only one in the world. No, there was also his parents' grave, and a large area of loquat trees. If he couldn't make it, then the forest he walked through a while ago was also good. There would always be some wild fruits to eat.
He couldn't go back now. Without any proof of identity, he couldn't even leave the city. There was no reason for him to be humiliated a second time. He truly felt that this mortal world was very difficult, everything was very difficult.
Finally, I saw the recruitment notice on the street. It said there was a copper coin a month. There was no requirement for height or education, only for strong young men. He went in confidently, but came out dejectedly. In this society, nothing can be done without a piece of proof of identity.
He slowly walked along the street and suddenly found a shop belonging to the Moon Shadow Trading Company. Yi, didn't Yue Wu already tell him that she had no one to rely on and that she had set up the Moon Shadow Chamber of Commerce with Elder Nan Gong? He had confidence again.
He slowly walked in, and the waiter politely welcomed him, "Young Master, which family are you from? Are you here to find an investment or something?"
You Huang didn't understand a word he said. He asked timidly, "Excuse me …" Is your boss Su Yuewu? " Seeing his haggard appearance, the waiter was somewhat suspicious. He asked, "Does young master recognize our boss? Business or personal? Where did you recognize him? "Do you recognize Director Bing or Manager Tang?"
He still didn't understand what he was saying, so he asked, "Is Yue Wu here? I want to see her. "
The waiter lost his patience and said, "If you don't tell us who you are, how can you meet our boss? Our boss is the number one beauty in the empire and also the head of the Martial Alliance. It is likely that there will not be a single one of this kind of person in the past hundred years. Even I was still there a few years ago. I saw you from afar when my boss came to pay me a visit. Dream on. "
He wanted to chase You Huang out with these words. You Huang thought for a moment. Since there was no place for her to stay in the mortal world, then she'd return. Her father was right, the mortal world was truly dangerous. Although he liked it here, there was no place for him in the end.
Finally he asked the waiter, "Then …" Can you bring these letters to Moon Dance? I do know her. "
The waiter thought that since there was a courier service, he didn't need to pay for his family's greetings. Ye Zichen looked at the man. He was rather handsome, and also had a pitiful look on his face, so he might as well help Ye Zichen this time.
He immediately frowned and said, "Mm, alright, I'll help you this time."
You Huang untied her package and took out the stack of letters, handing them to the waiter. The waiter couldn't help but take another look at You Huang when he saw that the letter was quite high-end. He murmured, "Such a small sample, the paper is quite advanced."
You Huang turned to speak with some reluctance, "You must bring this letter to Yuewu." The waiter was preparing to receive the guests, so he hurried him and said: "Got it, you should leave quickly. If the boss recognizes you, he will naturally come to find you. "
You Huang nodded. The waiter was speaking the truth. He nodded and said, "If Yue Wu asks about me, tell her that I've gone back to the Treacherous Currents."
It was unknown if the waiter heard it or not as he nodded his head.
He was almost done with his goal this time. Since he had never seen the mortal world, he saw so many new things and passed the letter to Yue Wu. It was just that he was somewhat regretful that he did not see her again. He shook his head and walked out.
Suddenly, he saw a group of people gathered together, pointing at the middle with expressions of disdain but not daring to say anything.
You Huang was tall and squeezed in. A tall and chubby man said while stepping on the man, "If you don't pay up today, I won't work for you."
The man lay on the ground, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. Beside him, there was a maidservant crying softly. The man looked as if he was begging, and said weakly to the man who was stepping on him, "Master Zhang, please do me a favor. This time, besides the money for the purchase of the goods, the rest... It's all up to you. At that time, you only said that you wanted five taels of silver, but … "But, I've already given you more than 20 taels."
The man saw that he was still talking, but he didn't pay the money. He gave the man a vicious kick and said, "Humph, you don't have money to talk so much. "Hmph …" If you have no money, ask your family to send it off. "
The servant girl suddenly rushed towards the sturdy man's legs like a madman, and said: "Uncle, I'll beg you for it. "Young Master originally came here to inherit his family business. If the boss finds out that young master has not done anything yet, then Young Master will come here in the future."
As if she had suddenly thought of something, she suddenly said, "Uncle, how about you act like this? I'll give you half of the money that Young Master sold when he gets to the local area, okay? "
The man pinched her chin and said, "He doesn't have money? He didn't have the money to go out and be such a beautiful woman even though he didn't sell her? Humph … Don't think I don't know what's going on between you two? The Su Clan … "If I'm not happy, maybe I'll go tell that Old Master Su."
The man below him wailed, "Please, don't …" As if he had made up his mind, he said, "I really don't have any money, how about … I'll give you the goods this time, I don't need them. " As he spoke, his face turned ashen.
The beautiful servant said with tears all over her face, "Young master, I have let you down. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't have met such a person. If you couldn't inherit the family property, then even if Hong Xiu died, she wouldn't be able to see you … She suddenly said fiercely, "It's all because of this wicked person. Even if I don't live anymore, I will still help you today."
She took off the silk hairpin on her head and stabbed it into the man's neck. The brawny man was caught off guard and a deep wound appeared on his neck. Blood instantly flowed down his shirt.
He touched his neck in disbelief. After a long while, he seemed to react. He looked at the girl with bloodshot eyes and said, "You really have some guts. If you don't want to live anymore, I'll help you." After saying that, he stretched out his fan-like palm towards the woman's head.
The crowd could not bear to look any longer and suddenly heard an exclamation. The burly man fell to the ground, as if enduring a great deal of pain. On his palm was a simple and unadorned sword.
He could not even feel who had stabbed the sword as he shouted, "Who is it? If it's a man, then come out and take a look."
Everyone around was looking at each other, but no one came out. The man continued, "Hmph, if you dare to do it, you dare to take responsibility. If you do it, what man do you think you are?"
Not far away, a grey robed man stood out. He calmly replied, "It's me."
No one thought that the person who could do this would be such a young man. The big man said, "I have no enmity with you, so why are you acting like this?" The hand was covered in blood, and it was so deep that the bones could be seen.
The grey robed man said: "I had heard that the world had levelled up, but I did not know that something like this would happen. "My father told me that the human world has its own principles. Since no one has come to preside over it today, I am the only one who has come out." When they heard this, everyone felt shame and admiration.
That big guy said, "Hmph, you're still a wet behind the ears brat and you dare to show off in front of me? Do you know what my identity is? I am one of the five heroes of Guan Dong. Have you heard of your grandpa's name? "
You Huang said with a very innocent look, "I'm sorry, but I've never heard of it." The surrounding people burst into laughter.
The brawny man felt that he had lost face and put down the young master beneath his feet. Clutching his severed hand, he slowly walked in front of You Huang. He sized up You Huang from top to bottom and said, "Kid, you're quite stubborn. What's your name?"
You Huang continued to blink innocently with her large eyes and said, "My name is You Huang." The man nodded and said, "This grandpa will kindly spare your life today. Remember, if you see me again, remember to take a detour. Otherwise …" Humph … That's when you die, remember? "
You Huang thought to herself, next time? He must have returned to the Treacherous Currency, so he nodded his head obediently. The brawny man turned around and walked away. When he reached a place where there were not many people, he suddenly ran away. It was probably because of the severe pain from his wound. Everyone laughed.
The crowd slowly dispersed after watching the commotion. You Huang also walked out of the city gates. Suddenly, he heard someone call out from behind him, "Young Hero, please wait."
It was the young master who had been beaten senseless. He slowly stood up as if he had been beaten a little too hard and needed the support of the maidservant. He slowly wiped away the blood on his mouth and patted off the dust on his body. Then, he made a huge bow towards You Huang and said, "Young Hero, please save me."
You Huang was at a loss for what to do. "I …" That's all I can do. " The young knight said, "No, the journey is a long one. We need a strong martial arts master. We met that man on the way here. He was very eager to send us there, but he turned out to be a bully. "There's not much time left now, and we can't find another person. Young Hero, if it's convenient, please send us back to the capital."
He thought for a moment before continuing, "I am willing to contribute half of the money I have earned to Young Hero."
You Huang was a bit dazed and only managed to react after a long while, "But …" I don't have any proof of identity? "
The man was also stunned. After a while, he smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, I am a member of the Su Family, one of the Four Great Clans in the empire. The soldiers coming and going don't dare to investigate too much. Once we reach the capital, I will naturally thank you properly and help you prove your identity.
She hadn't thought that she'd meet such a noble person. She was a bit surprised. He asked, "If... If I send my young master back, how much money would I have? "
The Young Master laughed and replied, "A thousand taels of silver."
She remembered that it was a lot of money. You Huang was a bit excited, two small dimples appearing on her fair face. He nodded and replied, "Sure."
The three of them set off, porcelain and ice from the south, which they transported to the north, with no time to lose. The three travelled day and night, and You Huang had not slept for several days.
When they arrived at a small mountain store, the young master finally stopped and said, "Let's have a rest. If we don't rest today, it'll take us three days to get to the next town." He turned his head to look at You Huang and said, "Young hero, you've worked hard these past few days. You should rest well as well. We'll continue our journey in the morning."
There was nothing in the wilderness. The shop owner had just burned some wild rabbits for them. The three of them had only been able to eat steamed buns and water for a few days. Now that they saw that the rabbit was wolfing down their food, the young master suggested that they drink wine.
The wine was in the cellar, and the shop owner felt that it would not be good to hold it in the dark, or to throw it out, so the young master offered to fetch it himself. He had indeed brought back a jug of wine when he returned. You Huang hadn't drunk any and was about to vomit when she took her first sip. Her face was flushed red.
The Young Master laughed loudly, "Haha, I didn't expect Young Hero to not know how to drink wine. "It's okay, just drink." After that, he drank bowl after bowl of underworld wine.
