Chapter 269

Name:Splitting the Heavens Author:睡秋
"Come, come, eat while it's hot!"

Three bowls of steaming wontons were placed on the table, and six pancakes were brought. Shang Xia greeted the two of them, and ate them together first.

After eating the spicy thick soup and the meaty wontons, under the cover of the steaming heat, Shang Xia squinted his eyes and began to recall the experience after entering the city.

At the gate of the city, Shang Xia was almost certain to have that strange aura of martial arts will come from Cang Ling Wuxiu.

That is to say, among the four young warriors from Jizhou with a lot of background, at least one of them is Cangling Wuxiu!

If it wasn't for Shang Xia's own mysterious martial arts will, being able to integrate with the vitality of heaven and earth, and even avoiding the detection of fourth-order warriors, I am afraid that Shang Xia's disguise as an Orion would have been discovered at that time.

Of course, the one who failed to discover the identity of Shang Xia's martial artist was the little woman beside her who was holding a child.

But even so, at the gate of the city, Shang Xia almost shot directly to kill the Cangling Wuxiu who appeared.

If it was in Tongyou City, Shang Xia would probably make a move without hesitation.

However, this is not Tongyou City after all, and after Kou Chongxue was attacked and he was almost captured alive, Shang Xia is currently ignorant of the situation in Tongyou City and even Youzhou.

What's more, what Shang Xia found was only one Cangling Wuxiu. You must know that there were three Cangling Wuxiu who ambushed him back then.

In the end, Shang Xia didn't choose to act rashly, and he didn't even dare to reveal his identity casually.

And this cautiousness soon showed Shang Xia his correctness.

As an important gateway from Youzhou to and from Jizhou, it is also one of the only two cities in Youzhou. Although Changfeng City is controlled by the city lord Yang Hu, how could Tongyou College and the four major families of Tongyou City be in the city? There is no layout in Changfeng City?

However, along the way, Shang Xia saw at least two inns, one warehouse, and three shops belonging to Tongyou City on the bright side. However, people were staring at the surroundings of these six shops.

Shang Xia didn't know who was spying secretly, and he didn't know whether the surveillance was targeting him, but he knew that at this moment, it was better for him not to show his face.

Fortunately, Shang Xia stayed in the wild mountains and forests for a long enough time. At this time, his appearance and image had already changed drastically. No one would have thought that the young master of Yushu Linfeng, a merchant in Tongyou City, would be the one who was wearing coarse clothes and walking on the road. A young hunter eating wontons at a side stall.

It seems that I have to hide my name in Changfeng City for a while, at least I have to figure out the current situation of Tongyou City first.

A bowl of wontons and two biscuits are eaten in just a moment.

Unexpectedly, the two women beside them were not satisfied with their food. Shang Xia just put down his chopsticks, and the little woman drank the soup at the bottom of the bowl. Even the three-year-old girl took off half a bowl of wontons and half a bowl biscuits.

"Boss, how much is it?"

Shang Xia wiped his mouth with his sleeve, and took out a silver dollar from his cuff.

"Chenghui twelve coppers!"

The boss put a rag on his arm with a smile, walked up to Shang Xia and said.

"How many?"

Shang Xia looked at the owner of the wonton stall in astonishment.

The boss glanced at Shang Xia suspiciously, then looked at the things on the table, and said, "One bowl of wontons is two coppers, three bowls is six, and sesame seed cakes are one copper plate. You ordered six in total. That's right. Ah, it’s twelve copper coins, respectful guest, look..."

Seeing that the little woman and the little girl looked at him, Shang Xia was a little surprised and said, "So cheap?"

The boss was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Your honorable guest is just kidding, I don't dare to ask for more for a small business."

Shang Xia threw a silver dollar into the boss's hand, and said, "Okay, then pack eight more sesame seed cakes and take them away, and make them up by the way."

"okay!"

The boss blew the silver dollar into his ear, and he immediately showed joy. He quickly wrapped eight sesame cakes and the leftover sesame cakes, and then returned the four copper coins to Shang Xia.

Copper coins are usually called small copper plates, and one silver dollar is one hundred small copper plates.

On top of the small copper plates, there are also large copper plates, which are called copper plates by ordinary people. Usually, twenty small copper plates are equivalent to one large copper plate.

Shang Xia weighed the four large copper plates in his hands. Although it was not the first time he had seen copper plates and copper coins, it might be the first time he had actually used them.

As the merchant's direct relative, Young Master Sun, Shang Xia only used silver and gold coins in his daily life.

In fact, at this time, in the Jinyun box in his sleeve, there was a large bag of three hundred silver dollars. This was when Yu Chengjin, the sword-bearing elder of Jianmen Academy, came to ask Shang Xia for a sword talisman in person. The price Shang Xia offered him.

However, the use of copper plates and copper coins this time has a different taste for him.

Shang Xia got up from the wonton booth and left, and the little woman quickly picked up the little girl to follow.

After eating a bowl of steaming wontons, the spirits of the two women seemed to have recovered a lot.

Shang Xia was walking in front, the little girl's childish voice sounded from behind him: "Uncle, where are you going?"

Shang Xia didn't turn his head back and said: "It's bitterly cold in Youzhou, you two are wearing thin clothes, I'll take you to buy two sets of cotton padded clothes."

"Thank you, just buy a suit for Yuanyuan, I don't need it."

Without the danger at the gate of the city, the little woman no longer suppressed her beautiful voice.

Shang Xia turned his head to look, his eyes fell on the little girl who was being held in his arms, and said with a smile: "Your name is Yuanyuan, what a good name!"

The little girl's big black eyes suddenly narrowed with a smile, and said in a childish voice, "Thank you uncle."

When Shang Xia turned his head, he happened to come to a tailor shop, so he smiled and said, "Here we are! Let's go in and have a look!"

When she came out again, the little girl Yuanyuan already had a little red jacket on her body, making her round and rounder a little more cute.

The little woman also added a green winter jacket, although it made the whole person a little thicker, it didn't affect her figure too much.

In fact, Shang Xia had already seen that the mother and daughter were wearing thin clothes, and the reason why they had been holding their daughter in their arms before was because the little woman had been putting her vitality into her daughter's body to keep warm.

Xiao Yuanyuan, who was full and warmly dressed, no longer felt cold, so naturally she no longer wanted to be hugged by her mother, and preferred to walk and play on the ground by herself, constantly circling around Shang Xia and the little woman. Surrounded by the laughter of children.

Walking down half a street, Xiao Yuanyuan has already tasted sweet-scented osmanthus cake, marshmallows, and twisted twists in her mouth, and she still has a smiling man and candied haws in her mouth...

Shang Xia looked back at the young woman who was following him in the shape of a little woman, and said with a half-smile: "Xiao Yuanyuan seems to have never seen these things before."

The young woman gave a low "hmm", with a bit of guilt in her voice.

"It looks like you're going to stay in Changfeng City for a while?" Shang Xia asked without looking back.

The young woman looked up at Shang Xia, then lowered her gaze, and said, "Yes!"

"You are penniless now, but what craft do you have to make a living?"

The young woman was silent for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "No!"

Shang Xia nodded and didn't say any more. When he came to a dental shop at the end of the street, he asked him to find a private courtyard for rent.

The Yaren of Yahang was also swift, and soon found a small courtyard in the city that met the requirements according to Shang Xia's request, and took the three of them to check it out.

This small courtyard looks like a small family, sitting north and facing south, with one upper room and two side rooms. There are two fruit trees in the small courtyard and a well covered with bluestone slabs.

The three of them glanced around, and Shang Xia felt that the small courtyard was quite quiet, so he wanted to rent it, so he asked how much the rent would be.

"Three silver dollars a month!"

After a brief discussion between the shopkeeper and the landlord, they quoted a price that Shang Xia didn't know was expensive.

Touching the four silver dollars on his cuff, Shang Xia wondered for a moment whether he should take out some of the silver dollars in the Jinyun box and rent them for a few more months.

Unexpectedly, seeing Shang Xia's hesitation, the landlord said: "It's expensive, but Xu can't blame us. In the past two months, there have been many foreigners in the city, and everyone's rent has been rising. If the little brother's family If you think it’s not suitable, you can go to other places to inquire, but our small courtyard is not worry about renting.”

Shang Xia laughed and said, "I didn't say no to rent!"

As he said that, he took out three silver dollars from his cuff, handed them to the landlord and asked casually: "I said I won't come for a while, but the city is much more lively. It turns out that many people have entered the city to settle down. I don't know where these people come from? Could it be the old people from Youzhou earlier?"

The people in the tooth shop shook their heads and sighed: "In the past, there were many old people in Youzhou, but recently there are many warriors with a Jizhou accent. Although these people are not domineering in the city, they are still arrogant and look down on us people in Youzhou. .”

It was agreed that the rent would be settled once a month, and Shang Xia sent the two of them away.

Then the mother and daughter were left to tidy up the courtyard, and Shang Xia went out to buy, until he had spent every copper coin on his body, and then returned to the small courtyard with big bags and small bags.

The fire was lit, and the house gradually felt warmer. Xiao Yuanyuan was poking a few sweet potatoes with a fire hook by the fire, sparkling saliva was about to fall from her mouth.

Shang Xia leaned against the door of the upper and inner room and watched the little girl's actions with a smile on his face. Suddenly feeling something, he looked back and saw that the young woman had come behind him.

"Why don't you ask us who we are?"

This was the first time that the little woman spoke on her own initiative after the gate of the city.

Shang Xia kept his eyes on Xiao Yuanyuan by the stove, and without turning his head, he said, "I want to ask, will you say it?"

The little woman was silent for a moment, then said, "No!"

Shang Xia smiled and said, "I just like Xiao Yuanyuan."

The little woman walked up to Shang Xia, looked at her daughter who was sitting by the stove waiting for the sweet potatoes to be cooked, with infinite tenderness on her face, and whispered: "Yuanyuan has never been so happy as today, and she has never been so happy. Such a peaceful life, thank you!"

Shang Xia glanced at him and said, "You can choose for her."

The little woman shook her head, turned her head and walked out of the house.

When she got to the door, the little woman suddenly turned her head and said, "My name is Hai Min. Don't forget when the neighbor asks, and what's your name?"

Shang Xia didn't look back and said, "You can call me Xia Shang, just an ordinary hunter."

"That Yuanyuan will be called Xia Yuanyuan from now on, the daughter of a hunter."

After saying that, the little woman Haimin walked out, saying: "I'll go prepare dinner!"

Perhaps because of the exhaustion of the journey, after dinner, the mother and daughter Haimin had already rested very early.

Shang Xia was resting in the side room, sitting cross-legged on the head of the bed to transfer the true energy in his body.

After about 1 hour, in Shang Xia's perception, Hai Min who was sleeping in the upper room had quietly left the room.
