The melon-eating swordsman in the ancient dragon world

Chapter 124 Alley and Hunchback (Nuanyang Giant Silver Alliance adds 3 more)

The alley is very desolate and is inhabited by poor people. They go out to work during the day and go home to sleep at night. Almost no one stays in the alley for even a second.

But there is still a small chicken feather shop in the alley. The front sells some coarse food and wine, and there seems to be a few simple guest rooms in the back.

The owner of the small shop is a hunchbacked old cripple who looks very pitiful.

At this time, the old hunchback came out from behind and put a piece of silver into the drawer in front of the two of them. Then he came to the door and continued what he had just unfinished - grinding tofu.

Ding Baiyun looked at the alley that could be seen all the way to the end, and then looked at Xingyun Village behind the high wall next to it.

"There's nothing?" Ding Baiyun was a little confused, then looked at the old hunchback who was grinding tofu, and got off his horse.

The old hunchback raised his head and asked, "Do you two want something to eat or drink?"

Ding Baiyun shook his head, "Old man, did you see the two men in yellow just now?"

The old hunchback also shook his head, lowered his head and continued grinding tofu.

He has never been interested in people who don't spend money in his store, let alone bother to talk.

Ding Baiyun was stunned, but as soon as he turned his eyes, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and said, "Tell me what they did and what they asked you. This piece of silver is for nothing."

She had just seen the ingot of silver that the old hunchback had collected. How could she possibly earn it just from the business of this chicken feather shop?

Obviously, this is what the two money gangs just gave.

The old hunchback finally raised his head, and then without saying anything, he just extended his hand.

Ding Baiyun couldn't help laughing, and casually threw the money into the old hunchback's hand, "Say it!"

"They walked around the alley and asked me a few questions," said the old hunchback. "They asked me how many years I had lived here, who the owner of the manor was, when he left, and why I knew so much. Details, and...has anyone else asked me?"

Ding Baiyun asked, "How did you answer?"

The old hunchback said calmly, "You just asked me to tell you what they asked me, not how I answered."

Ding Baiyun was stunned when he heard the words. Then he thought about what he had just asked. A trace of anger flashed in his eyes. He stared at the old hunchback, threw another ingot of silver, and said coldly, "Sure enough, there must be some poor people." What’s so hateful, tell me how you responded.”

The old hunchback took the money and didn't care about Ding Baiyun's words. He shook his head first and said, "It seems that the money is quite easy to make."

Then he continued, "I have lived here for twenty or thirty years. The owner of the manor was named Li and later Long. He left more than a year ago because their cook bought wine from me, so I know It’s very clear that no one else has come to ask questions.”

Ding Baiyun nodded and looked at You Longsheng, "The Money Gang is indeed targeting Xingyun Village."

You Longsheng spread his hands and said, "As expected."

Ding Baiyun joked, "You are a big patron of the Money Gang. You have enough face. Maybe you can get a share of the pie then?"

The old hunchback glanced at You Longsheng imperceptibly.

"Don't be ridiculous. Business is business, and friendship is friendship. The money gang behaves in a domineering manner. They recognize money but not people. I just pay it back on weekdays. If this kind of interest is really involved, people will not recognize who I am. Shaolin Temple has them here. Dare to be tough."

The Money Gang will not take the initiative to touch the existing interests of the Shaolin Temple, but if the Shaolin Temple goes out of bounds to compete with the Money Gang, the Money Gang will not give in and retreat.

But if You Longsheng just watched the excitement and did not become an enemy of the Money Gang, as a major patron of the Money Gang, he would not worry about the Money Gang taking action.

Ding Baiyun asked curiously, "Shangguan Jinhong won't come in person, right?"

You Longsheng shook his head, "That's not certain. After all, the matter involves Li Tanhua. He is different from Yang Dabeard. Even if Shangguan Jinhong takes action himself, it makes sense."

Ding Baiyun asked, "Then do you still want to watch the fun?"

"Of course you have to watch it!" You Longsheng's eyes were shining, "Shangguan Jinhong fights against Li Xunhuan. This kind of battle has not happened once in decades. If you don't watch it, wouldn't it be a lifelong regret?"

"What you said makes sense..." Ding Baiyun blinked, "Why don't you go back and call my brother here?"

Then the two held hands with the horses and walked out side by side.

"Isn't your brother trying to learn how to change the baby's diaper? Does he have time to come over?"

"He said that if you ever mention him changing diapers again, he will spread the word about you and the Great Joy Bodhisattva all over the world."

"Brother-in-law is too cruel. I am now his brother-in-law. If he wants to tell the story about me and the Bodhisattva Great Joy, he will be embarrassed, okay?"

"Chichichi...is that the first time you begged...hey?" Ding Baiyun couldn't help but pinch You Longsheng, "Speaking of which, you haven't proposed to me yet!"

"Are you sure? You want me to say the same thing to you? Do you want to compete with the Great Joyous Bodhisattva?"

"Me! I'll bite you to death!"

The two of them left laughing and joking, leaving the old hunchback who had good ears to smell the sour smell in the air, sniffed, and continued grinding tofu.

On the other side, You Longsheng and Ding Baiyun left the alley.

"With the help of the Money Gang, those scattered people in the world probably won't have the guts to stay anymore," Ding Baiyun said.

The Money Gang is domineering and ruthless in their actions. They are merciless to these ordinary people in the world and have great power.

You Longsheng nodded, "But Li Tanhua's enemies have also become stronger."

The two of them walked around Baoding Mansion and saw many young masters who were somewhat famous in the world.

"The Chao family brothers have been active in Shandong. Unexpectedly, they also arrived in Baoding. They are quite brave."

"Li Laoqi from the Eight Righteousnesses of the Central Plains is also here. It is said that although he is young, his martial arts is the best among the eight brothers."

"I saw Ding Qiu." You Longsheng was not surprised. After all, this hunchback had also been certified by the original author and was notoriously greedy for money.

"Wealth is so charming!"

The two walked around Baoding Mansion, but did not see anyone from the Money Gang again.

Until sunset, shadowy figures appeared again around Xingyun Village.

Those who are incompetent in skills hide their heads and show their tails.

Those who are good at martial arts show up generously.

Although You Longsheng and Ding Baiyun are famous for their martial arts skills, they are only two people and do not have the ability to overwhelm the entire audience. If they really want to take action, they dare to win in chaos.

"Huh?"

Ding Baiyun's eyes lit up, "It's the old man and the little girl."

You Longsheng followed her gaze and saw an old man in blue shirt holding a cigarette stick and a girl in red with two big braids walking into the alley.

"They knew the itinerary and deeds of you and Li Xunhuan very well back then, and they seem to like to join in the fun." Ding Baiyun said, "Now that they have also entered that alley, is there really something mysterious there?"
