My Two-sided Cultivation: Starting From Collecting Experiences

Chapter 178 - 178 Which Grandson Poisoned Us?



178 Which Grandson Poisoned Us?

“Brother-in-law, where are we going first?” Li Buhu asked.

“Let’s take a walk around the city first. We’re not in a hurry anyway.”

The two of them walked out of the Nine Dragons sect side by side.

Close to Lingjiang City, Qin Huai was walking down a long and noisy street built by the disciples of the Nine Dragons sect.

Most of the people on the streets and alleys were the families of the disciples of the sect. It was convenient and safe to buy houses and courtyards nearby.

They set up a small stall in front of the door and opened a tavern. Overall, it was lively and peaceful.

This was the first time Qin Huai had gone out after coming to Lingjiang. The lively atmosphere, the simple snacks, and the common people made him feel as if a lifetime had passed, and his heart was filled with countless thoughts.

But…

Qin Huai looked around. His heart throbbed as he knew that someone was watching him from the shadows.

“Are you familiar with Lingjiang?” Qin Huai asked.

“Of course. I grew up in Lingjiang county, and I’ve visited this city before. ”

“Then do you know any new restaurants in the city and where they are?” Qin Huai asked.

If Luo Ya and the others were to settle down here, they would definitely not choose a blacksmith shop. Otherwise, they would have been discovered by Song Ya’s men long ago.

If they were still in Lingjiang, they would most likely choose a restaurant or some small tavern.

“Yes, those places are all in the alleys of South street.” Li Buhu led the way, and Qin Huai followed closely behind as they strolled through the city.

He looked around, trying to find a familiar figure. Moreover, there was a tall and eye-catching Li Buhu beside him. If Luo Ya and the others were here, they would definitely see him.

The two of them wandered aimlessly in the city. Along the way, many commoners turned to look at Li Buhu and Qin Huai.

Just as they entered the alley on South street, Qin Huai could smell the rich aroma of wine. Large wine jars as tall as a person were placed in front of the tavern to compete for fragrance and beauty.

At the same time, the sound of punching could be heard through the window and on the street. There were also many drunkards lying on the ground, muttering nonsense and snoring that they wouldn’t normally say.

He could still hear waves of compliments from the surroundings. “Isn’t this Master Hu? Do you want to come in for a drink or two?”

“Master Hu, Wine Meng has been looking for you for quite some time. He wants to compete with you in wine!”

“Forget it. I’m just accompanying my brother-in-law for a walk today. Let’s meet another day!”

Li Buhu cupped his fists at both sides of the street. The enthusiasm around him made Qin Huai look at Li Buhu in a new light.

Indeed, with such a talented figure, he must be an expert at drinking.

Qin Huai took in the grand scene in front of him. He could not help but compare it to Pingnan City in the past.

The people of Pingnan City were worried about the price of grain every day, afraid that they would not be able to fill their stomachs in the harsh winter.

The refugees who had been invaded by the demons were even more homeless, shivering in the snowy night.

‘The county city is like heaven.’ Qin Huai sighed in his heart. As he walked, the atmosphere was filled with joy and harmony.

And then, his thoughts came to an abrupt halt. The end of the wine street was only a few inches away.

Broken walls extended from the front to the end, and the low courtyard was half-hidden.

In the dilapidated ditch, there was a stream of wine that washed away the leftovers and food that flowed out of the wine street. A group of middle-aged men who were relatively strong fought for them crazily.

Children in hunched clothes squatted at the edge of the wine street, eagerly smelling the fragrance of the wine as they watched the well-dressed people eat and drink to their hearts ‘content.

A few inches apart were two different worlds.

“When I was young, I often came here to play. Fighting was not allowed in the city, but it was allowed here… We’ll have a fight with the little brat from the Zhang family, the Twin Extreme sect, and the little brat from the county governor’s mansion.

“At that time, it was Sister Shaoxiang who led us to fight. Every time, Sister Shaoxiang would rush to the front and beat up those guys.”

Behind him, Li Buhu was still dutifully introducing the place to Qin Huai. He didn’t dislike this place. Instead, his face showed a hint of nostalgia.

“Oh?” Qin Huai’s heart stirred. He could never imagine that the delicate Li Shaoxiang would be so valiant when she was young.

“It’s a pity that after they got older, those guys became more powerful. After suffering a few losses, Sister Shaoxiang ordered us not to come here anymore.”

“She’s right. If you can’t beat them, then don’t come,” Qin Huai blurted out.

Li Buhu sighed. “Brother-in-law, do you want to go in and take a look?”

“Yes.”

Qin Huai quickly walked into the shabby alley. Everyone in the alley looked curiously at the two intruders.

“Brother-in-law, there are some slums here. Basically, the periphery of Lingjiang is like this,” Li Buhu continued to explain. “This place hasn’t changed at all. It was like this when I was young. Even when I grew up, the wine street became so prosperous, but this place hasn’t changed at all.”

The two of them walked deeper and deeper.

Suddenly, Qin Huai stopped in his tracks.

Around them, there were many people wielding metal pickaxes, swinging metal chains, and some wooden sticks as they approached Qin Huai and his partner.

“Brother-in-law, this is what a slum looks like.” Li Buhu’s muscles and bones creaked. He raised his fists and walked toward the crowd.

“Be careful,” Qin Huai instructed.

“Just a bunch of small fries.” Li Buhu laughed coldly. Then, he reached out and took a small black pill from Qin Huai.

“What is this?” Li Buhu looked at Qin Huai.

“A detoxification pill.”

“Which grandson poisoned us?!” Li Buhu quickly retreated to Qin Huai’s side and whispered.

His expression changed drastically. He actually did not notice that someone had poisoned him.
