Dongluo Mountain was about half a day’s journey away from Tianmu Lake.
Most importantly, Xia Ji knew that Dongluo Mountain hid a ” gateway ” to the
Wu family.
“To Dongluo Mountain.”
Nian Ying responded and whipped her horse.
Two yellow-brown horses pulled the carriage to the south.
At dusk, the carriage passed by a small town.
This was a peaceful town, and there was even a fragrance floating in the air.
Nian Ying’s gaze turned. The source of the fragrance was from the many small carts by the roadside. The stalls of these small carts were selling ordinary food such as barbecue and stewed food.
However, the fragrance that floated out was a touch of strange fragrance that made people unable to help but stop and eat.
Xia Ji wasn’t an otherworldly person. He smelled the fragrance as well, so he stopped the carriage, took some silver, and got off the carriage.
They stopped in front of a stall.
“Boss, how much is it?”
“Three coppers for a skewer of vegetables and ten coppers for a skewer of meat.”

“Three coppers for a skewer of vegetables and ten coppers for a skewer of meat.”
“Why does it smell so good?”
The boss behind the cart chuckled. ” It’s a local recipe. ”
Xia Ji smiled and didn’t ask further. He took out some silver coins and said, ‘
Give me two hundred skewers and split them into two sides. ”
The boss’s eyes lit up. He didn’t expect this refined man to be a foodie. This was really a big business. He hurriedly became enthusiastic.
Nian Ying stood beside Xia Ji. Her heart was filled with novelty.
On the streets filled with fireworks, the night market was filled with oil stains and the smell of dirt. People’s voices were everywhere.
The greasy boss was busy turning the skewers to heat them evenly.
The oil dripped and exploded, emitting a meaty smell mixed with a strange fragrance.
The moon had already appeared in the west. Although the sky was not completely dark, it was soon.
Groups of men and women walked past the not-so-spacious street from time to time.
And his teacher was mixed among these mortals, waiting to be eaten.
Nian Ying could not help but laugh.
Such a mythical teacher actually had such a delicious and ordinary side to him.
A smile appeared on her lips, but when she looked away again, her eyes could not help but constrict, and the smile disappeared.
The white hair in her black hair had fallen like snow, reminding her and others that her teacher was not young anymore.
He stood on the noisy street…
Alone…
Nian Ying leaned closer to him. She thought to herself that she could just stay on Mirror Lake Island and accompany her teacher for the rest of her life.
Just as he was thinking about it, the sound of cursing could be heard on the street, followed by the sound of chasing and running.
The two of them subconsciously turned their heads slightly and saw a little beggar with unkempt hair and dirty face holding two skewers with both hands and running wildly. Two tall and strong men were chasing after the little beggar.
” Little thief! ” The brawny man shouted as he chased. ” I’ll beat you to death when I catch you!! ‘
The little beggar ate very quickly. He ate the skewers agilely while running in the alley.
The two burly men chased after him for a while before losing him. They shouted a few harsh words angrily and then returned helplessly.
Xia Ji shook his head with a smile as he watched this scene. He felt a little relieved. While he was thinking about setting up the world, it turned out that there were still many people in the human world who were risking their lives for a few skewers.
Young Master, your 200 skewers are ready. ”
Xia Ji came back to his senses and took the skewers from the smoke. At this moment, a shout suddenly came from the street in the distance.
‘ Fire, fire! ‘
The voice was extremely shrill, as if the fire was burning the person who shouted.
He and Nian Ying turned to look.
Just as they turned their heads, a small black hand silently climbed to the side of the skewers he had packed.
With a nimble sweep of his fingers, he caught more than ten skewers.
The five fingers carefully lifted up.
If there were no accidents, Xia Ji’s takeaway skewers would decrease by a lot in the next second.
But an accident happened.
Xia Ji pushed him away.
She handed over the bag of 100 skewers and stuffed it into her small black hand.
The thief had obtained 100 skewers.
Xia Ji lowered his head slightly. Indeed, he saw the little beggar.
It was obviously a young girl. Her face was very dirty, as if she had been smeared with coal. However, her eyes were very bright, flickering with light, and there was an indescribable mischievousness.
Xia Ji threw her a small purse and smiled. “”Go and return the money over there. Don’t steal again.”
The little beggar did not stand on ceremony. He took the money bag and smiled, revealing two rows of shell-like teeth. ” Uncle, who are you? ‘
She asked as she ate the skewers, her cheeks puffed up.
It glanced at Xia Ji and said angrily, “”Uncle, who are you?”
Clearly, the white parrot was the one who had shouted “Fire!”. The combination of a man and a bird was truly amazing.
As a reward, the little beggar stretched out a skewer of roasted chili. The white parrot ate it with relish. After eating it, it cried out,”Ah ah”. It was obviously spicy.
The people in the town quickly discovered this prank. The originally tense atmosphere instantly turned into hatred and accusation. Some stall owners who had been stolen by the little beggar immediately chased after him.
The little beggar made a face at Xia Ji before running away.
Then, she grabbed the money bag that Xia Ji had given her and circled around in the crowd, trying her best to dodge. At the same time, she took out a few coppers and threw them at the stall that she had stolen. After doing this, she giggled as she fled..
