Chapter 718 I Pay Her Debt
The night was quiet and cool, and Ximi Country was still in the Green Region, not too far from the Pole Region. The climate should have been cold, but there was a rolling mountain range more than a hundred miles away, blocking most of the cold currents.
The vegetation here is lush, and human dwellings and utensils are inseparable from natural vegetation, which is in harmony with nature. When the shopkeeper knew Li Changxiao's identity, his eyes were filled with tears, and he returned to the counter in two or three steps.
The counter was also strange, it was a big tree stump, hollowed out in the middle, it could be used for standing, sitting, or walking. The shopkeeper fiddled with the counter, took out three large green leaves, strode over, and respectfully handed them to Li Changxiao, smiling and accommodating. During this time, he glanced at the door, and only felt relieved when he saw that the door was closed.
Li Changxiao took the three green leaves and took a closer look. He saw that the green leaves actually acted as paper. The veins on them twisted to form words. He was immediately surprised. Li Changxiao had practiced cultivation so far and had a lot of experience. However, when he accidentally arrived at a place, he would be surprised by the local customs and strange things.
I was happy in my heart, full of unknowns, and exploration was interesting. Besides, even if it was a debt, it was a debt to an old friend. Although I thought so, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows when I read the content carefully.
"Selling a body indenture?" Li Changxiao's mouth twitched and he took a few gulps of wine. The smell of wine filled his mouth, bringing a slight stimulation.
Wang Qilang swore, "I am not lying at all." Li Chang laughed and said, "I didn't say you were lying." He looked at it again carefully, and then he gradually understood the reason.
It turned out that when Mei Sanniang arrived at the "Bao Lai Ju Inn" and tricked the shopkeeper into changing the name, she felt very proud and wanted to stay for a few more days. Seeing that the inn's business was getting better day by day, she attributed all the credit to herself.
I thought, if I hadn't helped you, your inn would have closed down in three years. So I felt that this inn was all mine, and I ordered the dishes without hesitation, ordering all kinds of delicacies from land and sea. I stayed there for more than ten days.
When Wang Qilang was about to leave, he brought the bill, but Mei Sanniang was dumbfounded. She had no money to pay, so she scolded the shopkeeper for being heartless and killing the donkey after it had done its work. But the expense was really not small, and Wang Qilang had no choice but to ignore it. In this way, Mei Sanniang could only owe the money and find a way to repay it.
The contents are clearly written on a few green leaves. In the country of Ximi, there is a sacred tree called "Sky Price Tree". It has luxuriant branches and leaves. The veins of the leaves can form words. Once they grow, they cannot be changed. Therefore, the people of Ximi often use leaves as evidence.
Li Changxiao saw that there was no way to deny it, and he felt amused and angry at the same time. What made him amused was that Mei Sanniang was really unwilling to settle down and wanted to stir up trouble wherever she went. What made him angry was that a powerful combined body master actually left a contract to sell himself in an unknown remote inn.
If it was before the spiritual energy was exhausted, Wang Qilang would be able to walk around with this indenture contract, and no one would dare to offend him. However, things change, and he can only keep it at the bottom of the box. Who knows when someone will come from afar to settle the account for her.
Wang Qilang didn't dare to have extravagant dreams. He thought it was a mess, but he never thought that there would be a day when it would be even. So he stared at Li Changxiao and waited for his next words.
Li Changxiao also wanted to settle the score, but he was powerless. He searched all over his body and found a lot of copper coins, but there was still a huge gap between the account and the amount. He explained to Wang Qilang that Mei Sanniang was Mei Sanniang and Li Changxiao was Li Changxiao. They were just acquaintances. Why should I, Li Changxiao, pay back the money he owed?
As he said this, he pretended to be carefree and uninhibited, lying down and drinking leisurely. Unexpectedly, the leaves flew up without wind, one covering Li Changxiao's face, and the other two, one covering his abdomen and one covering his chest.
Li Changxiao rolled back and heard another "crack". The legs of the chair he was sitting on broke and fell to the ground. It was as if someone had pounced on him, pinned him to the ground, and then sat on him and beat him wildly.
Li Changxiao was also angry, and fought with the three leaves, swinging his fists and hitting them. The leaves fluttered left and right, nimbly dodged, and hung in the air, never falling to the ground.
After a long fight, with no clear winner, Li Changxiao suddenly felt tired and lay on the ground. He unscrewed the wine gourd, took a sip of wine, and muttered, "You bitch, your spiritual energy is like free." After saying this, the three leaves also lost their charm and gently fell to the ground, landing on Li Changxiao's chest.
Wang Qilang was surprised. He had never seen anyone fight with leaves so fiercely. Although the leaves did not fall to the ground, he felt a little strange, but he thought that the swordsman's fist was the airflow that carried the falling leaves back into the air, so they never fell to the ground.
Li Changxiao was panting heavily, never thinking that at this moment, he could still fight with Mei Sanniang. Wang Qilang picked up the three leaves carefully, thinking that Li Changxiao was sick, and did not dare to let him pay the debt.
However, after the shopkeeper collected the leaves and hid them, he heard a voice.
The swordsman in white was still lying on the ground, with his long hair spread out on the ground, and he didn't seem to mind the dirt on the ground. His eyes were complicated, and he suddenly called out, "Shopkeeper."
Wang Qillang looked at it and said: “Hmm?”.
Li Changxiao said softly: "Her debt..."
"I'll pay it back."
……
Because the debt was too large and could not be repaid in a short time, Li Changxiao was not in a hurry at all. After talking with the shopkeeper Wang Qilang in the lobby, he went upstairs to wash up and fell asleep.
The next morning, everything seemed normal, and he greeted Wang Qilang and ordered breakfast as usual. Li Changxiao sat in the lobby and looked around, and saw that the people of Ximi country had very similar breakfasts, all of which were a red and green fruit, a clear soup, and a yellow dipping sauce.
They dipped the fruit into the sauce and drank it with the soup. Li Changxiao followed suit. The fruit tasted sweet, and after being dipped into the sauce, it was slightly salty, but the taste was richer and not unpalatable.
The only drawback is that it is not juicy enough. You need to drink water after chewing it a few times. Otherwise, it will be difficult to swallow. This country of Ximi is located in swamps, dense forests, and mountains. Its customs and culture are naturally very different from other places.
After Li Changxiao had his fill, he lay down on a chair and rested for a while. Then he perked up and decided to travel around.
