Chapter 175 (1/2)

With an Wang's instruction, Ning Lang drove for more than ten days, but finally arrived at Qingzhou.

Before he entered Qingzhou, he knew all about Qingzhou. He knew that the people here were fierce and there was a gang of mountain bandits. This time, he came to listen to the meaning of an Wang, which was to make him friendly with those mountain bandits.

Seeing the stone tablet with ”Qingzhou” written on it, Ning Lang finished his clothes and became serious.

When he arrived at Qingzhou, he settled down in an inn in Qingzhou. Chuyin had sent people to live here early.

Ning Lang doesn't mind.

After putting away his luggage, he left the inn with his hands on his back and walked around the city of Qingzhou.

He had only been in the capital before, and he didn't know what other places looked like. Different from the prosperous Jinsheng of the capital, Qingzhou was full of simple traces. Most of the people here depend on hunting for a living. There are also a lot of animal skins and meat sold by roadside vendors, which are different from those in the capital city.

Ning Lang's attention was soon attracted by a cage of cubs on a roadside stall.

The stall owner looked at him with a smile: ”is this childe not from Qingzhou?”

Ning Lang was staring at the cubs in the cage. He nodded and asked, ”how do you know?”

”Looking at the young master's appearance, it is different from our Qingzhou people.” He put some of his cubs in front of the stall to let him see more clearly. The stall owner boasted: ”childe is really good-looking, but I spent a lot of effort to find the tiger cub!”

”Tiger?” Ning Lang's eyes lit up.

The cub in the cage gave a soft cry: ”meow ~”

Ning Lang was stunned: ”how does this sound like a cat?”

The owner of the stall said: ”you are not from Qingzhou. I don't think you have seen a tiger?”

”I haven't seen it.”

”That childe didn't know, this tiger cub, when he was a child, he called it that way.” The stall owner said, ”the tiger has changed greatly. When the cub grows open, the cry will be howling, and the body will be much bigger than it is now. That's what you know about the tiger, young master.”

Ning Lang hesitated: ”really?”

The stall owner then said, ”when the little boy grows up, you can use him as a mount or a pet. Think about it, if you go out with a tiger, how powerful would it be?”

Ning Lang moved.

The stall owner looked at him up and down, and boasted: ”I look at the young master Yushu Linfeng, but lack of a bit of domineering.”

”Domineering?”

The stall owner patted the cage: ”with this tiger, don't you even have a little bit of domineering in this lack?”

Ning Lang looked down at the cage, and the round, wet eyes of the tiger spotted cat suddenly softened. He thought about the majestic appearance of the tiger cub when he grew up, and the look of a tiger following him. In the capital, this is the only one.

Ning Lang immediately took out the money bag: ”how much money does this tiger cub want?”

As soon as his voice dropped, there was a burst of laughter.

The stall owner's face is full of joy, just want to open his mouth to say the price, immediately face a flustered, shut mouth.

Ning Lang turned his head and saw a handsome man standing next to him. Yang Zhen was looking down at the goods on the stall. When he heard the conversation between him and the stall owner, he couldn't help but laugh.

Ning Lang suddenly wondered: ”what are you laughing at?”

Yang Zhen waved his hand and said, ”nothing.”

The stall owner's face became loose, and he was relieved.

Ning Lang continued to ask, ”how much money does this tiger cub want?”

”I have a good eye for you. I'd better ask for five...” The stall owner looked at Yang Zhen and changed his mouth: ”three hundred taels.”

Ning Lang is the first time to go out. Jiang Yunlan is worried about him and has prepared a lot of money for him. Now he says that he can take out 300 Liang silver without hesitation. Three hundred taels of silver notes fell lightly into the hands of the stall owner, and the tiger cub also returned to Ning Lang.

Ning Lang was very happy. With the tiger cub, he stopped walking in the street. On the way, he bought some raw meat from the butcher's stall and planned to go back to feed the tiger. Then he happily carried the cub back to the inn.

It's just that he ran into a problem very quickly.

The little boy was very resistant to raw meat. Even if he cut it into pieces with a knife, he was not tempted at all. His mouth was closed, his throat was pathetic, and his big eyes were wet and pathetic. Ning Lang was very anxious. Later, the inn brought him his dinner. He took the broth and dipped it in it. The little boy was willing to open his mouth.

After a night, the cub decayed visibly. Ning Lang didn't raise a tiger cub before. He was very worried. He went out to find the owner of yesterday's stall with his cub in his arms. However, when he got to the stall, the stall had already changed its owner. What he sold was not animals, but a pile of animal meat.”Young master, would you like to come and taste my newly hunted bear meat? This bear's paw is delicious. You might as well buy one to taste ”

Ning Lang looked around Qingzhou City, but he could not find anyone in any case. His subordinates came to look for him and said that he was going to visit the bandit leader of Qinglongshan mountain. They wrote a post earlier, but they couldn't delay. Ning Lang had to go up the mountain with his cub in his arms.

On the way, he was still worried and said to himself: ”I heard that the mountain bandit leader is terrible. He is as strong as a bear and as strong as an ox. fortunately, he drinks blood. If he doesn't say anything, he will kill someone. If I can't lift my shoulder or resist it, he can beat me to the ground. If something happens, you must protect me.”

The little cub gave a weak cry: ”meow ~”

Ning Lang was even more worried: ”you said that when you grow up, you will certainly be majestic, but this has not yet grown up. All of them are tigers, and there should be a little bit of that Domineering? ”

”Meow ~”

Ning Lang sighed deeply.

When he entered the Qinglong village, he saw several mountain bandits with strong backs. He even held his own cubs and huddled together. After entering the main room, he thought he would see a more powerful and powerful man than those outside. However, there was a young man sitting on the throne. Compared with the bandits around him, he looked like a mountain bandit scholar.

Ning Lang couldn't help looking around: ”where are the people? Has the king of the mountain not come yet

Yang Zhen was also surprised: ”is it you?”

”Do you know me?”

Yang Zhen nodded his head and nodded the little boy in his arms: ”you really treat this kitten as a treasure.”

Ning Lang remembered that he was the stranger who was laughing beside the stall. Ning Lang retorted, ”this is not a cat cub, this is a tiger cub, but will grow into a tiger in the future.”

Yang Zhen didn't hold back and burst out laughing.

Ning Lang was puzzled, but even the surrounding mountain bandits also laughed.

A mountain bandit said without concealment: ”people from the outside are really a cheat. They take a kitten as a tiger cub, but some people believe it. Is tiger cub like this?”

Ning Lang:

Yang Zhen said with a smile: ”are you still looking for the stall owner today?”

”How do you know?”

Yang Zhen said: ”the rule of the head of Qingzhou City is like this. Whoever deceives people will stop for a few days, because those who are wronged will come to the door soon and wait for those people to leave Qingzhou before they can continue to sell.”

”And cheat the next one?”

Yang Zhen nodded: ”yes.”

Ning Lang was very depressed.

Qingzhou City is not a small city. There are many passers-by who come and go, so many people are cheated. Many people have no good impression on Qingzhou. Most of the news of Qingzhou is also from these passers-by.

As soon as Ning Lang returned to Qingzhou for the first time, he was cheated 300 Liang on the first day. He also held a kitten as a tiger cub, and his heart broke.

……

Ning Lang settled down in Qingzhou.

Although he spent three hundred Liang silver to buy a kitten, he was not disgusted with it after he was angry. He still carried the kitten to where he went every day. It was a great treasure. I didn't know that he really thought it was a tiger cub.

Yang Zhen was very curious. Because Ning Lang wanted to have a good relationship with these mountain bandits, and he took the people sent by Chu Fei to do some business in Qingzhou. He asked him to often go up the mountain to look for Yang Zhen. Every time Yang Zhen saw him, he could see the cat.

As time went on, he saw many times, and Yang Zhen couldn't help being curious.

”Don't you know it's a kitten? Why are you carrying him around? ” ”You don't want your tiger anymore?” Yang Zhen asked

”A tiger is a tiger, and a cat is a cat. Can't we just leave it because it's a cat?” Ning Lang bowed his head to tease the milk cat. The little tiger cat held his finger and meow softly.

”It's so small. It's really pitiful. It died accidentally. Last time I went out, I left it in the inn. As a result, I couldn't find her when I came back. After searching the whole Inn, I found that she was hiding under the bed, starving for a day, and almost died. Another time, it was caught by someone else accidentally, and that person even wanted to catch it to stew. Alas, you people in Qingzhou are really... ” Ning Lang said and could not help shaking his head.

“……”

”You say it's so small that if I don't take it with me and I lose my life accidentally, I'll become a villain?” Ning Lang touched it pitifully: ”the cat is a cat. At least I spent 300 Liang silver to buy it. If it is really a tiger, I have to worry about whether the tiger will bite me when it grows up. If it doesn't bite me and goes to bite others, I'll go to jail.”

Ning Lang sighed and accepted the fate.

Yang is really speechless.

”But it's just a cat.” Yang Zhen said: ”you were cheated 300 Liang, which you are not angry?”Ning Lang big hand a wave, did not mind the tunnel: ”it does not matter, I am not the first time to be cheated.”

“……”

”Besides, what's wrong with the cat? If my sister knows that I bought a cat and threw it away, my sister will be angry with me Ning Lang tut sighed: ”you know, little girl It doesn't eat much, and I don't lack a mouthful of food. It doesn't make any trouble on weekdays, so it keeps it. ”

Yang Zhen's mood is very complicated.

The bandits in the Shanzhai live by hunting. The fur and fur meat can also be sold for a good price under Qingzhou. When Ning Lang went up the mountain many times, he would always bump into the pictures of the mountain bandits handling the corpses of wild animals. At first, his face turned pale when he saw it, but later he saw it more often, and he got used to it.

Yang Zhen asked him again: ”even a kitten you are pitiful, now see this, you don't think those beasts pity?”

”I know all about it.” Ning Lang raised his chin with pride. He asked clearly: ”there are many wild animals on this mountain. They multiply quickly. If you don't kill them, sooner or later, they will go down the mountain to harm the people in Qingzhou City. I also asked them, saying that you will control the hunting and will not kill them all. In this case, what is the poor thing?”

”Really?”

”You live on this, you earn money by your own skills. When people outside Qingzhou talk about you, they say you are tyrannical mountain bandits who rob and plunder all day long, but I don't think so.” Ning Lang solemnly said: ”my sister said, those who rely on their own ability to earn money, are very powerful, I am not as good as them.”

Yang Zhen: ”you talk about your sister all day. Is your sister really so good?”

”Of course.” Ning Lang proud: ”my sister is the best sister in the world.”

“……”

Ning Lang looked at her expression and became alert: ”I can tell you first, you can't make my sister's idea, my sister is so good, can't marry you...”

”Me?” Yang Zhen raised his eyebrows: ”you said yesterday how powerful I am, to this day I can't? You just said that those who earn money by their own skills are very good. In this way, I should also be very strong. ”

”My sister My sister... ” Ning Lang was worried, and his mouth was stupid. He could not say how to retort. He simply held his cat and ran away: ”anyway, you can't make my sister's idea!”

One day later, he went up the mountain again. The whole bandit knew that he had a sister who was hurt by him like a pearl. He could not even let people say a word.

……

Ning Lang ran many times, and the relationship with Yang Zhen has become familiar.

He is a person who is familiar with others. Once he gets familiar, he always likes to talk about his own affairs with others. Yang Zhen not only knew that he had a father who was not clear in his mind before, but has finally made it clear recently. In the past, he was weak and obedient to her. Now he is a fierce mother to everyone, and has a smart and beautiful sister. Even he has a friend who is preparing for Qiuwei exam in Beijing. Even his purpose of coming to Qingzhou was revealed by accident. Combined with Yang Zhen's own investigation, he quickly guessed out the truth.

Yang Zhen would like to knock on his head to see why he can be so many people unprotected.

Ning Lang came to many, not only familiar with Yang Zhen, and mountain bandits also familiar. Every day he went up and down the mountain, and it took him a lot of time on the way. So Yang Zhen simply left him a place in the Shanzhai.

”That's not good.” Ning Lang refused: ”those who live in your Shanzhai are mountain bandits like you. I'm not a mountain bandit. How can I live here?”
