Chapter 284 Don’t worry about me, just keep drinking
Longyuan Country is a water country, and the people mainly make a living by selling aquatic products, especially in the southern border area, which is full of fishing villages and rich in dried aquatic products.
The air is filled with a fishy smell that lingers all year round.
As soon as the rain stopped, the group almost fled from the small fishing town.
Even Tianbao, who usually doesn't care much about things, couldn't stand it this time. Staying in the town was like staying in a big pickling vat, like a fish being pickled.
After the group left the town, dark shadows immediately appeared from several corners of the town and followed them from a distance.
At the same time, the news that several people entered the Jiyin Mountains was also spread.
The ship sailed on the water for another day and night, and finally docked at the wharf on the outskirts of Guangling County. It was already night, and everyone found a place to stay in the county town for the night.
Fortunately, this place is far away from water and close to mountains, so the people who were poisoned by the smell of salted fish along the way barely survived.
There is no curfew in the small county town. Although the night view of the streets is not as lively and prosperous as that of the big city, it is not deserted either.
The bearded man stood in front of the window of the guest room on the second floor, looking down from above. His whole body was hidden in the shadows and his expression could not be seen clearly.
There was no light in the room, and a pair of sharp eyes took in the entire scene below.
Those streets and dark alleys still look familiar even after so many years.
Nothing here seemed to have changed, only he had changed.
There was a corner shop across the street from the shabby inn. The lantern hanging on the sign of the tavern was dim. There were not many customers in the shop, and three of the four small tables were empty.
A figure stood in front of the shop for a moment before walking in.
One, two, three, four, or five heads immediately popped out from the shadows at the next alley, staring at that direction.
"Uncle with the big beard went drinking alone, trying to drown his sorrows!" Su Wu, squatting at the bottom, swore, "Is that right? What did I say? There's something wrong with Uncle with the big beard since he planned to come to Youshan. There must be something going on behind the scenes!"
Su Wen held his head and stretched his neck in that direction. "Everything I can't tell anyone is a secret. My heart is bitter. Only wine can temporarily relieve my sorrow. How sad, how sad."
"Fuck you! We grew up together naked, how can you not speak eloquently in front of us?" A slap came from behind, hitting the pseudo-literary man on the back of the head. Su An frowned so hard that a fly could be caught, with worry between his brows, "How about I go over and have a couple of drinks with my godfather?"
Bai Yu supported his shoulders and shook his head, "You're just a kid in the eyes of the bearded uncle. How can he drink with you?"
Tian Bao squatted on the wall above, "I'll go fight him. I'll feel better after the fight."
The four heads below looked up, "..."
Du Buqin swaggered out from the shadows, put his hands on his hips and headed towards the tavern. "What's the big deal? Look at me!"
Five heads, “…” had a bad feeling.
On the second floor of the inn across the alley, in a darkened guest room, a man in a moon-colored robe leaned against the window, fanning himself and watching the hustle and bustle for a while. Then he raised his lips, hummed softly, closed the window, and went to bed.
Du Buqin took 28 steps to the door of the tavern, and suddenly crouched down, observing the situation inside like a thief, and then slipped in on tiptoe.
The five people watching outside twitched their lips. After seeing this situation, they were sure that it was definitely not a good thing.
The bearded man grabbed the jar and drank half of it in one gulp. When he noticed something was wrong, he immediately lowered his head and met the old man's shifty triangular eyes. His two thieving hands were stealthily grabbing at his sleeves, and he had already pulled out half of the curved blade from his sleeves.
"..." Du Buqin blinked twice in his triangular eyes and said softly like coaxing a child, "Don't worry about me, just keep drinking."
Bearded man, “…”
His eyes were filled with sinister intent. "How dare you steal my weapon?"
"Who stole it? Who stole it? Isn't it still in your hands? I just want to take a look!"
"Will I believe it?"
"By the way, I smeared some good stuff on the edge of the blade!"
The bearded man was so angry that he laughed. When he was in a bad mood, he had to hit me. "I'm not in the mood to play with you today. Get out of here! Otherwise, don't blame me for not knowing how to control my strength!"
These old men were not happy. They stood up and put their hands on their hips. "Do you think we old men like to play with you? We are just teasing you because you are in a bad mood! You are a dog that doesn't know how to appreciate kindness and is willing to bite Lu Dongbin!"
"You fucking steal my stuff and call it Doudou?"
"That's not all, there's also this, hehehe!" The old man who was snorting angrily a moment ago suddenly laughed evilly, threw out a handful of medicine powder and ran away.
Caught off guard, the bearded man took two large gulps of the powder. His face flushed with anger, and he drew his knife and chased after him, "Poison is invulnerable! If I don't kill you today, I'm not called the bearded man!"
The old man had already flown to the other side of the street, still arrogant. "No, why don't you swear an oath instead? If you can't kill me, you can shave your beard."
"Fuck you, ha, hahahaha, you, stop, hahahaha, fuck you! Haha, what the hell did you do to me!!"
"Xiaoxiao powder! Specialized in treating infertility, guaranteed to keep you grinning all day long!"
The bearded man smiled with his hair standing on end, and the curved blade flew towards the place where the old man disappeared.
At the other end of the alley, five little ones hiding in the shadows held their heads in their hands, moaning helplessly as they listened to the wild laughter that filled the street.
They shouldn't have let Poison Grandpa play.
People won’t die from worrying for a while, but they can die from anger immediately.
The bearded man laughed for half the night until his voice became hoarse. As soon as the effect of the medicine wore off, he returned to the inn and fell asleep. He didn't even have the energy to think about revenge.
The poison can’t harm that dog coin, fuck it.
The next day at breakfast, Du Buqin didn't dare to sit near the table. He sat in the corner feeling aggrieved, quite self-aware.
The bearded man stared at him with sinister eyes the whole time, with snorting. He laughed so hard last night that his throat was hoarse even when he ate.
"From here, we have to pass through two small towns and then cross a stone forest before we can enter the Jiyin Mountains." After dinner, the bearded man, with a forced composure, explained the next part of the journey. "There's no dock for the boat in the second half, so we'll have to travel overland."
Bai Xiaofeng ate slowly and leisurely, always looking elegant. "You're familiar with this area, just lead the way."
The bearded man paused, lowered his eyes, and said, "There are also forces entrenched outside Jiyin Mountain. They are the first obstacle to entering the mountain. We will act accordingly."
"How do you see the opportunity?"
"Leave it to me."
There was nothing unusual about the three words "brief," but Bai Xiaofeng's eyebrows raised slightly and he smiled faintly, "Okay."
The old man leaned over tentatively, "Want a fight? Leave it to me!"
The bearded man's eyes narrowed, and with murderous intent, he struck the old man's head back.
The five little ones buried their heads in their food, pretending they knew nothing, shaking their heads occasionally.
Many shops were so scared that they closed immediately last night...
The bearded man looked at the five restless heads expressionlessly, and he was eager to draw his knife and cut off the skin that was immune to poison.
"Waiter, prepare a table of delicious dishes! Hurry up, we are in a hurry!" A group of people came down from the upstairs of the inn. They were all wearing short shirts with tight sleeves, short swords at their waists, and there was a domineering air between their brows.
The bearded man raised his eyes and his eyelids suddenly shrank.
