Chapter 1696

Deep in the northern wasteland, Yanli town is still as lifeless as usual. Even on a sunny day, there is nothing to walk around, except for a few patrol guards, lazily carrying weapons around the town.

A remote and poor town like Yanli town doesn't need so many guards. Bandits and robbers don't like this remote place at all. If fierce animals attack, it's useless to send more guards. If you are not a person with high accomplishments, what can you do in addition to waiting for death in the face of the claws and teeth of fierce beasts?

It was noon, and there were some guests in the tavern in the town, mostly lazy people in the town. These people don't take care of their farmland. They often get a few small money and use it for drinking. With this group of lazy people, the owner of the tavern has a good life. He can also take care of two small workers to take care of the business in the store.

"Guest, your wine has been warmed. I'll give you a plate of peanuts. Drink it first. I'll prepare food for you."

The waiter put a pot of wine and a plate of boiled peanuts in front of a young man. After urging the kitchen to make food quickly, he continued to greet other guests.

The young man was wearing a gray robe and looked a little old. The color of the robe is like that blown out of the wind and sand for a long time. I don't know whether the material itself has this color or faded into this. On the young man's head was a bamboo hat, and half of his hair was held down by the hat and tied behind his head. A pair of sharp sword eyebrows can be vaguely seen through the eyes blocking the wind and sand.

The young man lowered his eyes, picked up the wine pot and poured himself a glass of wine. The wine in the glass looked a little turbid, and there was a smell of distiller's grains. The young man took a sip from his glass and frowned. The turbid taste is imported with a little miscellaneous flavor, and the spicy wine gas immediately fills the whole mouth, which makes people feel uncomfortable. But the young man drank all the wine in the cup with patience. Then he smacked his mouth, pushed the glass aside and began to peel peanuts.

"I really have a problem to come here to find guilt..." the young man muttered in a low voice.

A moment later, the waiter came out of the kitchen with a bowl in front of the young man. There was a bowl of noodles in soup. The soup with soy sauce is soaked with a handful of overcooked noodles, sprinkled with a little scallion and dried radish. There is nothing else.

The young man shook his head reluctantly, then bowed his head and began to eat noodles. As soon as he took two bites, the sticky taste and the salty taste of soy sauce made the young man lose his appetite. After taking out a few copper plates from his pocket and throwing them on the table, the young man turned and left.

After that, the young people came to the small market in the town, which is the only place in the town where they can trade goods. They usually buy some firewood, rice and vegetables. After all, every family has its own arable land. There will always be some harvests that can't be eaten and stored. They will simply sell them for a little money.

Because it was noon, most of the vegetable sellers had closed their stalls and went back to cook. Only that meat shop is still open. In the shop sat a middle-aged man with an oily head and dirty face, driving away flies everywhere with a fly swatter.

In a small town like Yanli Town, if you can open a butcher's shop, you can be regarded as a big family. This is the only one in the whole town. The family has a small farm with pigs, cattle, chickens and ducks. The business is very good. Most of the loose money earned by other residents from selling vegetables is used to buy some meat here.

"Uncle, deliver the goods." the young man knocked on the chopping board on the pavement.

The butcher looked up at the young man. His face immediately showed a welcome. He quickly opened the small wooden door next to the butcher's shop: "ah Leng, come on, come in and sit down. Uncle will pour you a glass of water."

This young man called ah Leng is the favorite of the butcher. This young man who looks only 15 or 16 years old will bring some game from time to time, sometimes wild boars, sometimes wild wolves, all birds and animals in the northern wilderness.

These things are rare and good. In a small place like Yanli Town, people don't eat much oil and water, let alone livestock. If anyone is lucky enough to buy a piece of meat with thick fat, they have to shave off the fat and boil it into oil for cooking.

However, these birds and animals living in the wilderness are different. Most of them have thick hair and fat to adapt to the harsh environment. The meat is eaten. It's called a fragrance. Whenever ah Leng brings back these game, the butcher will spend money to buy them and keep them for himself.

"You don't have to sit. There's something else. Take a look at the goods."

Ah Leng took a cloth bag from his waist and put it on the chopping board. The cloth bag also hung these dry blood stains, "this time it's wolf meat, about five kilograms, seven big bones and two wolf skins."

The boss opened the cloth bag and looked through it for a while. As ah Leng said, there was about five kilograms of wolf meat with fat on it. Several big bones also hang a lot of muscles and meat for stewing, which can make a pot of delicious broth. The two wolf skins are also completely peeled, enough to show that this ah Leng has rich hunting experience.

I have been doing business with ah Leng for three months. Ah Leng has never cheated him.

"Ah Leng, we are also old business. Everything is still the same. I'll take all of you. It's no use for me to take wolf skin. I'll go to the town grandma to make you a new robe in the afternoon. I'll pay the cost. It's going to winter soon. It's a new year's gift from uncle in advance."

While talking, the butcher counted some money from the drawer of the shop, took a small lotus bag and handed it to ah Leng.

"OK, thank you, uncle." ah Leng took the bulging purse in his hand and smiled at the butcher, "I'll go first."

"Come on, then."

Ah Leng was stopped without two steps when he went out. Looking back, the butcher threw a paper bag with several palm sized meat chops roasted over a simple fire.

"Take it and eat it on the way. It's delicious. Remember to come and get your new robe when you have time."

"OK, thank you, uncle."

Ah Leng waved to the butcher, then turned and walked outside the town.

"If only my little boy could be so capable."

The butcher looked at ah Leng's back and smiled with his hands around his chest. He thought to himself.

After leaving Yanli Town, a Leng came to a cave. After making sure there were no people or wild animals around, a Leng approached the cave.

It was dark in the cave, but ah Leng's walking was not affected at all. He skillfully took out the fire fold and lit two simple oil lamps on the rock wall.

If you let others see these two oil lamps, it is estimated that ah Leng has lost his family.

The lamp oil burned in the oil lamp is the oil of some kind of animal. This kind of thing is put in people's homes in the town. It's a good thing for cooking. But here, it is used by ah Leng as lamp oil.

Ah Leng took off his hat and hung it on the wall. He untied his tied hair and opened it. In fact, ah Leng didn't wear a hat to cover the sand, but simply didn't want the people in the town to see his face.

Even if he changed his figure by relying on the Vientiane exquisite Dharma body, ye Tian didn't want his face to have too high recognition.

Yes, this alias is lengyunshuang. The young man called ah Leng is Ye Tian!

The introduction of the northern sect is very wonderful. Ye Tian thought of many ways, but he couldn't find a way to enter it directly. He simply had to live near Yanli town.

Ye Tian observed for a while. It seems that there is a training place for disciples of the northern sect nearby. From time to time, young people of the northern sect will come nearby to practice. These are the people Ye Tian is waiting for.

"Tonight... I should meet you. Tut Tut, I don't know if I can play in the north school..."

……

The Northern Wilderness night is always so cold that people can't help but want to wrap tight clothes.

Ye Tian lies quietly behind a mound, his eyes staring round, and carefully looks at the wolf licking his wound not far ahead.
