Chapter 7: money for the journey

Views:

The black dog demon has turned into an ordinary dog, and the two flower demons are not good enough. Even if the villagers of Heilin Village leave the village, they will not encounter any danger. Thinking of this, Li Chaoge didn't go back to trouble those little demons, but continued to move forward.

The rest of the road was calm all the way. After four days of trekking, Li Chaoge finally walked out of the border of the Black Forest and saw the bright sunshine outside.

Li Chaoge couldn't help turning around, staring at the Black Forest for a long time. The forest was very quiet, even at noon, the sun was not visible in the forest, only dots of light leaked onto the grass. The world outside is warm and bright, and the forest is quiet and silent. The contrast is so sharp that Li Chaoge almost suspects that all this is a dream.

Crossing the black forest is a dream, meeting a black dog demon is a dream, and meeting a twelve-year-old fairy is also a dream.

But Li Chaoge touched the quiver, and the empty space inside told her it was not. She really left the mountain village where she grew up and met the fairy.

Li Chaoge seemed to have made up his mind suddenly. He took one last look at the Black Forest, turned around resolutely, and walked forward without looking back. Those who abandon me, don't let the day of yesterday stay; those who mess with my heart, today is so worrying, her way is ahead.

Nanlin Town is backed by mountains and surrounded by water. Because of its unique geographical location, it has become the most prosperous town in the vicinity. Businessmen traveling north and south, or knights who wanted to try their luck in the Black Forest, settled in Nanlin Town.

Bai Qianhe was sitting on the restaurant, with Shaochun wine in his hand, and the other hand on his lap, happily playing time with the pipa. He came out of the black forest a day ago, and immediately called the best room, and slept in the room for a day and a night. Until now, Bai Qianhe changed into clean clothes, ordered a table of good wine and meat, and Mei Jiao Niang played the pipa for fun, and Bai Qianhe finally felt that he was alive again.

He leaned on the railing and looked downstairs lazily, thinking that this is the life people live. A coward is a coward, it doesn't matter if you don't venture into a ghostly place like the Black Forest.

Bai Qianhe has been famous for a long time, he is his home all over the world, and he has never had a decent job. Not long ago, he made a bet with someone that he would go alone into the Black Forest. If he won, the other party would give him a lot of money for drinks. Bai Qianhe originally thought that in this life, he would be happy with his love and hatred, so why not risk his life for the sake of good wine and money? But after he walked around the black forest, he suddenly felt that his life was more important, and he didn't care about the money.

But after all, there are still some regrets. Bai Qianhe was sitting on the restaurant feeling melancholy, when suddenly his eyes narrowed and he noticed a woman walking downstairs. He rubbed his eyes, made sure that he was not dazzled, and quickly waved: "Little sister, little sister! Yes, it's me."

Li Chaoge stopped slowly when he heard a familiar voice. Bai Qianhe lay on the railing, and said to Li Chaoge with a playful smile: "Little sister, are you still alive? Oh, I didn't see clearly that day when it was dark. I didn't expect my little sister to be so beautiful. Little beauty, I invite you to come up for a drink." A cup?"

Li Chaoge looked at her expressionlessly. The grass on the grave of the last person who dared to call her "little beauty" was three feet high. If it wasn't for his rebirth, Bai Qianhe would still be able to pull weeds for the opponent now.

But the free meal is not for nothing, Li Chaoge calmly walked into the restaurant, climbed the stairs, sat opposite Bai Qianhe, and said to the beauty playing the pipa, "Please add a pair of bowls and chopsticks, thank you."

The beauty looked around, made sure there was no one else, picked up the pipa, blessed Li Chaoge, bowed her head and left. Bai Qianhe clicked his tongue: "Little beauty, what you do is not authentic. You eat as soon as you eat, and what are you doing driving away the Pipa girl I finally found?"

Li Chaoge grabbed a pair of chopsticks from the next table, knocked on the table, and naturally picked up vegetables to eat: "It's not easy for them. It's because of you who are so romantic that they are forced to perform. That's right."

Li Chaoge put the food in his mouth, raised his head, and quietly glanced at Bai Qianhe with black and white eyes: "Don't call me a little beauty."

Her expression was calm, but Bai Qianhe clearly heard the killing intent. The smile on his face remained unchanged, his eyes swept roughly, and he found that Li Chaoge only touched the dishes he had eaten.

Tsk, at such a young age, you are not too wary. What is her origin? The martial arts on her body have never been heard in the world, and her age is too young.

Bai Qianhe smiled, poured a glass of wine for Li Chaoge, and placed it in front of Li Chaoge with his own hands: "This glass of wine is an apology for brother. The situation was urgent that day, and I had other important matters for brother, so I had to go first. Sister, sorry."

Li Chaoge didn't care at all. She waved her hands and said, "No need. You and I met by chance. We should go our separate ways. There is nothing to be sorry for. Besides, I don't need help."

"Sister is bold!" Bai Qianhe patted down the table and picked up a full glass of wine, "I, Bai Qianhe, respect heroes the most in my life, and I respect my little sister with this glass."

Bai Qianhe raised his head as he spoke, and drank it all in one gulp. Bai Qianhe has also been wandering around in the flowers these years, he has seen a lot, and he is good-looking, so he is very popular among women in the romantic circle. However, the little beauty in front of her was not moved at all, she was still as cold as ice, she nodded slightly and said: "So you are Bai Qianhe."

Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why, sister knows me?"

"Jiangyang Thief Bai Qianhe, who doesn't know him?"

Bai Qianhe's self-esteem was greatly satisfied, he couldn't help stroking his forehead hair, propped his forehead in distress and said: "Oh, being too popular is also a crime. I didn't even know that the humble name in the lower districts has already spread to the mountains and forests. Here we come."

Li Chaoge was silent for a moment, and said: "You may have misunderstood, I know you from the court arrest warrant."

The town demon division specializes in difficult and miscellaneous cases, and Bai Qianhe's name has been on Li Chaoge's black list for a long time. If it weren't for the endless cases in Dongdu, Li Chaoge didn't have time to chase Bai Qianhe, his grave should be a shady place in his previous life.

Bai Qianhe snorted disdainfully, leaned on the fence, and said nonchalantly: "The bastards of the imperial court, even if I stand in front of them and tell them my name, can they catch me?"

Li Chaoge sat opposite, watching him quietly.

Bai Qianhe didn't know that he was very close to death. As usual, he finished scolding the trash of the court and turned to Li Chaoge and said, "Sister, I think you are destined to be a friend. What's your name?"

Li Chaoge is different from women in the boudoir. There is no taboo that the name of the boudoir should not be disclosed to people other than her husband, but Princess Anding's name is well known in the world. Now that the time has not come, she should avoid it more or less: "I can't say it yet."

Bai Qianhe raised his eyebrows, and did not ask further questions tactfully. He suddenly approached and asked another interesting question: "Sister, did you really kill that black monster?"

"I didn't kill it." Li Chaoge said, "The monster is also a life, and it can't be killed before it does something wrong. I just beat it to a serious injury and go back to raise it. It should be able to live. However, it can only be a dog in the future."

Bai Qianhe gasped. In a single sentence, the amount of information contained is terrifying. He thought he had traveled all over the rivers and lakes and was well-informed, but he was still so frightened when he saw that black dog monster. And this beautiful and harmless little girl in front of her was able to beat her seriously.

Real people don't show their faces, dogs that bite people don't bark, and the ancients never deceive me.

In fact, Bai Qianhe calmed down later and figured out his joints. The black monster's fur was hard and invulnerable, but Li Chaoge could knock the monster out with a single arrow. She can shoot the monster, and of course she can kill it.

How can ordinary mortal weapons hurt monsters? At that time, Bai Qianhe should have thought that Li Chaoge was not an ordinary person.

Living in seclusion in the mountains, ignorant of world affairs, beautiful in appearance, and surprisingly young. Most likely, this is a disciple who entered the room with great cultivation skills.

Nowadays, all kinds of flowers are blooming in the world, Taoism and Buddhism are prevalent, there are those who practice martial arts to keep fit, and there are those who practice immortality and ask for longevity. Well water does not violate river water. Bai Qianhe used to respect nuns and Taoists too, but this little girl was an exception.

Bai Qianhe still has the ability to see people, he always feels that the person in front of him is someone, and he can't see through this person. In this way, he became more curious.

Bai Qianhe looked at Li Chaoge with a smile, and asked casually, "Little sister, where are you going next?"

Li Chaoge ate extremely fast, and she had almost eaten enough to talk. She put the chopsticks side by side on the table, wiped her mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "Dongdu."

"Hey, Luoyang!" Bai Qianhe noticed Li Chaoge's movements, and the smile on his lips became more meaningful, "Luoyang is not close to Jiannan. Little sister, dare to go on the road alone?"

"Why don't you dare." Li Chaoge stood up, held his sword and clasped fists at Bai Qianhe, and said, "You treat me to a meal, and I will let you live. Farewell."

Bai Qianhe couldn't help raising his eyebrows, let him live? The little girl has such a big breath! Bai Qianhe has roamed the rivers and lakes for decades, touched the treasury of the richest man in the south of the Yangtze River, explored the prison of Dali Temple, and entered the Royal Forbidden Garden several times. Even the number one expert in the royal family would not dare to say such words in front of Bai Qianhe.

Bai Qianhe didn't speak, but watched Li Chaoge leave with a smile. She was obviously only fifteen or sixteen years old, but she was not as lively as a girl of this age at all. She walked down the street with a sword in her arms, and soon disappeared. Bai Qianhe stroked his chin, feeling amused.

For some reason, he always felt that it would not be long before they would meet again.

And it is. After Li Chaoge walked out of Nanlin Town, he suddenly realized a problem.

She can't walk to Luoyang, but if she buys a mount, she has no money.

Li Chaoge hadn't worried about money for so many years that she didn't even think that traveling would cost money.

Li Chaoge was troubled for a while, and when he looked up, he saw a wanted warrant posted on the gate of the town, wanting to arrest Jiangyang thief Bai Qianhe, with a reward of 10,000 yuan.

At the bottom is the seal of Dali Temple.

Li Chaoge thought about it and thought it was okay. Although the town demon master and Dali Temple have always been in a competitive relationship in the previous life, but occasionally earning money from the other party is not considered self-degrading.

Li Chaoge quickly made up his mind and happily went back to catch the wanted criminal. Bai Qianhe was drinking by himself in the restaurant, and before he finished a glass of wine, he found Li Chaoge had left and returned.

Bai Qianhe was surprised and asked, "Little sister, why are you back? Did you meet a bad guy?"

"No." Li Chaoge said it well, suddenly raised his sword without warning, and pushed Bai Qianhe down, "I came back to catch bad guys."

Bai Qianhe didn't expect her to do this at all, and was completely taken aback. After Bai Qianhe came to his senses, he struggled immediately, but it was like seeing a ghost, no matter how many magical powers he used, he couldn't break free from Li Chaoge's sword: "Are you crazy? What exactly are you trying to do?"

"It's very simple, catch you back and exchange for reward money."

"Why?"

"Because I lack the financial support of Dongdu."

Bai Qianhe struggled vigorously, and when he was sure that he had absolutely no chance of escaping from Li Chaoge, and Li Chaoge really showed a tendency to escort him to the yamen, he immediately panicked: "Sister... no, sister! We have something to talk about. If you are short of money, tell me earlier, I can definitely send it to you, why bother to go to the Yamen, and hurt each other's peace."

"That's right." Li Chaoge murmured in a low voice. Bai Qianhe reminded her that he is a thief, how can ordinary county government prisons hold him? Li Chaoge had just promised to let Bai Qianhe live, she would not catch Bai Qianhe herself, so she could let Dali Temple come. Ordinary county government can't lock him up, so it's better to escort him to Dongdu and let Dali Temple take over.

Li Chaoge felt that this method was good. In this way, he would save money on the road, and after going to Luoyang, he could extort a sum of money from Dali Temple, which was worthless. Li Chaoge smiled at Bai Qianhe, let go of his sword, and said, "Okay, let's go."

While saying nice things to Li Chaoge, Bai Qianhe flexed his wrist, suddenly jumped onto the roof without warning, and ran out quickly. The house market was almost an afterimage under his feet, Bai Qianhe snorted triumphantly, and said, "Xiaomian, I eat more salt than you eat, and you still want to catch me? In the next life."

Bai Qianhe leaped for life, turned the corner from the attic, and almost bumped into a sword. He hurriedly braked and almost stopped in front of the sword tip.

Li Chaoge smiled across from him, and said, "Qinggong is not bad."

Bai Qianhe looked at Li Chaoge as if he had seen a ghost, he quietly took two steps back, turned around and ran in the opposite direction. Li Chaoge put away his sword and sighed lightly: "Are you sure you want to run?"

Bai Qianhe stopped abruptly. It was the first time he met such a terrifying woman in the past ten years of wandering around the rivers and lakes. He turned around, smiled reluctantly, and asked, "Sister...or sister, what do you want to do?"

"I've already said it." Li Chaoge stood on the roof, looked at him with a smile, and slightly parted his red lips, "Go to Dongdu."
