Chapter 358 A Man Without Money Is No Man at All

"A sword piercing towards the sky, I only ask why it's not fair!"

This last sentence of the old man's had a high pitch and concealed the golden spear, but it suddenly stopped at the end. It made people feel as if they were chewing on sweet plums, and their mouths were full of saliva, yet they still had endless aftertaste.

"Alright!" Someone shouted loudly, but it was Chu Chouli, who was beside Xu Han.

After this loud shout, everyone in the crowd naturally responded. For a moment, cheers were heard endlessly.

The old man sat behind the curtain and hurriedly put away the things in his hand. He carried a porcelain bowl and quickly came to the front of the crowd and bowed to them one by one.

At this moment, Xu Han could clearly see the old man's appearance. He was over the age of eighteen, and his hair was white. He was kind-hearted and wore a grey cotton jacket that was washed until it was white. However, he seemed to have worn it for too long. There were many tears on his clothes, exposing the snow-white cotton outside.

This was an extremely ordinary craftsman, who relied on this mouth and hands to make a living.

The old man began to look for rewards and walked past the crowd one by one with his porcelain bowls that also looked somewhat old. These spectators were quite satisfied and were most likely willing to give them a penny or two. Of course, there were also those stingy or poor people. At this moment, the old man walked away in embarrassment. The old man did not mind and smiled as he thanked them.

Very quickly, he arrived beside Xu Han, bowed down, and raised the porcelain bowl slightly.

"Meow!"

"Awoo!"

Before Xu Han could speak, a cat and a wolf beside him all barked at Xu Han, as if they were urging him.

Xu Han helplessly smiled bitterly as he looked at Chu Chouli beside him. Without saying a word, he stretched out his hand.

"What?" The middle-aged man looked at Xu Han with a puzzled expression.

"Take the money." Xu Han said, taking it for granted.

"Ah?" The middle-aged man was stunned when he heard this, and then with a painful expression, he took out three copper coins from his bosom and placed them in Xu Han's hand.

However, this method instantly caused Xuan'er and Aowu to be dissatisfied. The two little fellows widened their eyes and stared fiercely at Chu Chouli.

"Not enough?" Seeing this, the middle-aged man asked cautiously.

Xu Han weighed the copper plate in his hand and said with narrowed eyes, "What do you think?"

In order to make it easier for Chu Chouli to come to Great Xia to inquire about the situation, Xu Han gave Chu Chouli seven to eight thousand silver notes on him before leaving. In Xu Han's opinion, this amount of money should not be considered much.

However, Chu Chouli had a painful expression that took half of his life. After a long time, he took out another silver shard from his bosom and placed it in Xu Han's hand.

Xu Han smiled with satisfaction and handed the silver to the bowl that the old man extended.

The crisp sound of the silver and porcelain bowls colliding was obviously very different, causing everyone present to look sideways. The old man also looked up at Xu Han with a peculiar expression. Just as he was about to express his gratitude, his gaze suddenly fell on Xuan'er, who was beside Xu Han.

His gaze froze for a moment before he sighed sincerely.

"This cat is not bad." As he said this, his gaze sank and landed on Aowu.

At that time, Lord Wolf King hurriedly raised his head and chest, waiting for a similar compliment.

The old man did not hesitate to praise him and said, "This dog is not bad either."

"Awoo? Awoo!!"

…

Finally, Xu Han and Chu Chouli crippled their strength before pulling Aowu out of the crowd, who was furious and wanted to tear the old man into pieces.

It was getting late, and the bustling streets became quiet. The two of them walked side by side. The black cat napped on Xu Han's shoulder, and after being hit, Aowu followed behind, drooping her head.

The lanterns on both sides of the street were still lit, swaying slightly in the night breeze, continuously lengthening the shadows of the group of people.

Xu Han glanced at Aowu, who seemed to have lost hope for Lang Sheng, and said, "Aowu …"

'"Awoo…" Awoo's interest wasn't high, but he responded lightly. His head was still lowered, and even his tail was hanging down.

Seeing him like this, Xu Han said, '"Ahhh, that old man is old and his eyes are not good. It's normal for him to be unable to tell whether you are a wolf or a dog. Just think about it. Anyone with a good eye can tell that you are a dignified wolf. How can you be a dog?" He consoled in a low voice, "Ahhhh." It's normal for him to be unable to tell if you're a wolf or a dog. "

It had to be said that Xu Han was quite capable of comforting people. Hearing this, Aowu, who was drooping his head, immediately raised his head and his eyes lit up. It tilted its head and called out, "Awoo?"

It was as if he was asking Xu Han if his words were true.

Xu Han nodded confidently, "Naturally, this matter can still be fake? If you don't believe me, ask Xuan'er."

"Miao." Xuan'er called out in a very cooperative manner.

Lord Wolf King, who had received Xuan'er's affirmation, immediately regained his lively temperament. He circled around Xu Han with an excited expression, and he seemed to be having fun.

Seeing this, Xu Han felt slightly at ease. He was just about to take another step forward with Chu Chouli to find the inn to stay at.

But at this moment, a father and daughter suddenly walked past a group of people. The little girl sitting on her father's shoulder was attracted by the hilarious howl. She immediately pointed at the howl and said tenderly, "Daddy, that black dog is so cute. I want one too."

"Alright, alright, alright. Yan'er, be good. When you grow up, daddy will buy it for you."

Aowu's running movements suddenly froze at that moment. It stared blankly for a long time before turning its head slightly stiffly to look at the father and daughter. At that moment, its eyes suddenly emitted a terrifying ferocious light.

"Awoo! Awoo!!"

…

Xu Han and Chu Chouli lowered their voices and apologized to the frightened crying girl's father for fifteen minutes before obtaining the other party's forgiveness.

Aowu, who had been injured one after another, had completely lost confidence in Lang Sheng. Xu Han was rather helpless about this. After all, Aowu, who had transformed into an ordinary size, was indeed somewhat like a dog, especially when he lied to Xuan'er.

He could only temporarily put aside his thoughts of continuing to pacify Aowu and lead Chu Chouli to start searching for the place where he was staying today.

Xu Han asked four or five inns successively about whether it was because he was rushing to the market today, and they were already full. After half a circle, the group finally found a rather dilapidated inn and finally arrived at two rooms.

"Gentlemen, a total of 70 coins." After choosing the room, the waiter smiled and extended his hand towards Xu Han and Chu Chouli.

"Huh?" Xu Han turned to look at Chu Chouli and motioned for him to give him money.

"Ah?" However, Chu Chouli's eyes widened as he looked at Xu Han with a confused expression.

"Give me the money." Xu Han, who thought that the other party did not understand his meaning, said with his forehead supported.

"Didn't I give it to you?" Chu Chouli replied innocently.

"Then it's only one tael. What about the rest?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?" Xu Han looked at Chu Chouli in disbelief. Half a year ago, when Chu Chouli left, he had given him 7,000 to 8,000 taels of silver.

However, Chu Chouli nodded his head with utmost certainty and said, "It's gone."
