Chapter 403: Looking for death?

~12 min read 2,301 words

"Emei Sect? Is there such a sect? I've never heard of it." Sixth Senior Brother said.

The third senior brother also nodded.

Chen Hang did not speak, but looked directly at his senior brother. The senior brother's surprised expression just now clearly meant he knew something.

The senior brother hesitated for a moment: "I once heard Master talk about the Emei Sect. It is said to be a sect of immortals. All the sects are immortal disciples. It is very mysterious. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to actually exist."

"Senior Brother, this is all you know?" Chen Hang asked.

The senior brother nodded and said: "Master also knows very little, let alone me."

Chen Hang frowned. He believed that his senior brother had not lied to him and had no reason to lie to him.

But, just such a few clues are of no importance at all.

Chen Hang was silent there, and the atmosphere was a bit quiet.

"Now that my junior brother is back, I feel relieved."

The senior brother said something hypocritical, and then said to Yang Ying: "Little junior sister, it's already afternoon, we haven't had lunch yet, let's make something to eat."

"Brother... Senior Brother, there is no rice in the kitchen."

The senior brother frowned: "Then why didn't you tell me earlier?"

"I told you, this morning you asked Fourth Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother to go hunting."

When he heard that he had forgotten, the senior brother's face became a little confused and he couldn't help but angrily yelled: "You are still making excuses!"

Seeing that her brother was angry, Yang Ying lowered her head in fear and did not dare to say a word.

The senior brother snorted coldly, took out some money from his waist that had been stolen from the disciples of the Five Tigers Sect, and handed it to Lao Liu.

"Sixth Junior Brother, you and your junior sister go down the mountain to buy some food and come back. By the way, you can invite a doctor to go up the mountain to treat Fourth Senior Brother's injuries."

Only then did Chen Hang remember that there was an unconscious fourth senior brother who was not present.

Lao Liu took the silver and said respectfully: "Follow the order."

"Brother, head!" Chen Hang suddenly said: "Now that the Five Tigers are eyeing us, Senior Brother Six and Junior Sister are going down the mountain. I'm a little worried. Why don't I accompany them down the mountain too."

This was only half of the reason. The other half of the reason why Chen Hang wanted to go down the mountain was to see if he could find out any news about the Emei Sect.

Of course, the senior brother would not object, and immediately nodded in agreement: "That's fine, I'm relieved that my junior brother is here."

In fact, the senior brother also understands that there is no need to report to him where the junior brother is going, and he has no ability to stop the junior brother. What's rare is that the junior brother has the guidance of an immortal and respects him very much. The senior brother is very satisfied.

Then, the senior brother took out some more money and handed it to Chen Hang, asking Chen Hang to buy some things he needed.

This is a bit like trying to please Chen Hang, but the method is a bit naive.

Chen Hang did not refuse the senior brother's kindness. If he really refused, the senior brother would probably feel uneasy.

"It's getting late. You should set off now. Go early and come back early."

————————

The hilltop where the Liuhe Sect is located originally had no name, because the Liuhe Sect sat on this mountain. Over time, this mountain became known as "Liuhe Mountain".

Not far from the foot of Liuhe Mountain is a county seat, Anhe County.

A remote place like Anhe County, far away from the Central Plains, is not large in area and has not many permanent residents, less than 10,000 households. However, Anhe County is quite prosperous in this generation.

Because there are many mountains nearby, there are naturally many hunters. Every day, a large number of hunters pour into the county and bring the skins of their hunted prey to the county for trade.

Especially during the morning market, villagers from various villages around Anhe County will come here. It is so crowded that the small Anhe County is packed to the brim.

It's afternoon now, so the number of people is better, but it's still very lively.

On the street, various shops and vendors were hawking along the street, and the sound of bargaining was endless.

As soon as she entered the county town, the little girl Yang Ying was like a lark resurrected with full blood. She was lively and active, and was startled by everything she saw.

"Senior brother, look, this bear's skin is so big..."

"Senior brother, it's Little Man Candy!"

Seeing the young and lively junior sister, Chen Hang couldn't help but feel happy.

In Chen Hang's world, at Yang Ying's age, she should be so happy, but she has already taken on the heavy responsibility of daily chores in the sect...

When passing a cloth shop, Yang Ying's cheerful figure suddenly paused.

Chen Hang's sharp eyes clearly saw Yang Ying's look of envy as she hurriedly glanced at the clothing store.

Yang Ying just glanced at it and continued walking forward.

Although she has no scheming and is a simple girl,she is very sensible. She knows the current predicament of the sect and that life is very difficult. Naturally, she will not have spare money to buy her new clothes.

Chen Hang, who saw everything in his eyes, couldn't help but sigh and called out to Yang Ying.

"Little junior sister, wait!"

Yang Ying stopped: "Senior brother, what's wrong?"

Chen Hang first said to the Sixth Senior Brother next to him: "Sixth Senior Brother, you go buy food first. We will meet at the gate of the city later."

The Sixth Senior Brother didn't know what Chen Hang was going to do, but since the younger Junior Brother was so capableFighting, I was not afraid of any danger, so I nodded immediately and went to buy daily necessities alone.

After the Sixth Senior Brother left, Chen Hang took the little girl and walked directly into the cloth shop.

"Senior brother, what are you doing?"

Chen Hang was too lazy to say more and replied domineeringly: "Don't ask too many questions."

As soon as I entered the cloth shop, a boy came to greet me quickly:

"Sir, do you want to buy some cloth? We have fine silk, warm cotton, linen, silk, and fur."

This was the first time Chen Hang went into an ancient store to buy something. He didn't know what to say, so he just pulled Yang Ying over, pointed at the little girl and said, "The clothes she is wearing."

Yang Ying became anxious when she heard that her senior brother wanted to buy clothes for herself.

"Ah? I, I have clothes to wear, but I don't need clothes."

The waiter took a look at Yang Ying's old clothes, which were still made from men's clothes. She couldn't help but feel a little contempt for the couple, but she still had a polite look on her face.

"Senior brother gives it to you, just keep it."

Chen Hang's tone allowed no refutation, and helooked at the boy again.

The boy was a smart man and immediately introduced: "Sir, do you want to make it custom-made? If you want to make it custom-made, please choose the cloth first and then pay the deposit."

"Isn't there any ready-made one?"

"You mean ready-to-wear? Yes, of course. Please come this way, sir."

The boy took Chen Hang to another room. The walls of this room were all hung with ready-made clothes, including gowns and dresses, both men's and women's clothes, in different sizes.

Compared with the clothing stores of later generations, the clothes displayed here were messy and not very beautiful. More importantly, there was no custom of marking prices in advance at this time.

Looking at the dazzling array of clothes, Chen Hang touched the few taels of silver his senior brother gave him, and couldn't help but feel a little unsure.

He didn't understand prices, nor did he understand the value of silver. He had no idea what kind of clothes he could buy with the little money in his arms.

The young man has been in this business for a long time, and he has naturally developed a skill of observing words and expressions. When a customer refuses to make a choice for a long time, he will immediately know that the customer in front of him is probably short of money.

Thinking of this, the boy immediately took the initiative to introduce some cheaper clothes.

"My lord, what do you think of this linen dress? It's affordable, and it's warm to wear..." He said a lot of good things.

After the boy finished speaking, Chen Hang asked the question he wanted to know the most: "How much is it?"

"This linen dress was originally priced at one tael and eight dollars. Sir, is this your first time here? I'll give you a discount of one tael. I hope you will continue to patronize our store next time."

One or two?

Chen Hang didn't know if he had been ripped off, but the price was still within his acceptable range. He touched the broken silver in his arms and estimated that there were three or four taels, so Chen Hang chose a cotton dress.

As for the silk flower skirt, it looks good, but it's a pity that he doesn't have to think about it because of his little money.

Chen Hang couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed because he couldn't even afford clothes (in fact, ancient industry was primitive and good clothes were quite expensive). He thought to himself: It seems that he needs to get some money.

After taking off the clothes, Chen Hang originally planned to find a place for Yang Ying to put them on, but the little girl refused to do so and carefully wrapped the new clothes, smoothing out even a wrinkled corner, and then hugged her tightly in her arms.

"Senior brother..."

Holding the new clothes in her arms, the little girl was extremely excited.

Everyone has a love for beauty.

A long time ago, Yang Ying had been thinking about having a beautiful new dress so that she would no longer wear clothes that her senior brothers did not want. Unexpectedly, this wish came true today.

The great joy of realizing her wish filled the little girl's heart at this moment, making her so excited that she couldn't even say thank you.

Seeing the little girl's face flushed with joy, Chen Hang was also a little happy, but more of a sigh in his heart.

A piece of clothing can make a little girl so happy...

"Let's go and find Sixth Senior Brother."

Yang Ying did not answer, and even said that she did not hear her senior brother's voice at all. At this moment, her mind was already filled with imagining what she would look like wearing this cotton dress.

Chen Hang shook his head and laughed, pulling the little girl out of the store.

"Sir, welcome to come again next time."

The boy sent the two of them outside the door diligently.

At this moment, at the other end of the street, people suddenly jumped up and down, attracting the attention of people on the street.

It turned out that it was a majestic carriage, racing and running rampant on the street.

In the distance, you can hear the sound of whips and an arrogant yell:

"Get out of the way, get out of my way! If I block the road, I won't blame you if I kill you."

When the voice reached this end, pedestrians on the road were immediately startled and started to avoid it.

Chen Hang, who had already walked to the street, also grabbed Yang Ying from the crowd and squeezed back to the door of the cloth shop.

Seeing the carriage driver driving away passers-by unscrupulously, Chen Hang immediately realized that this must be a playboy of some powerful person traveling.

When encountering such a bully, pedestrians on the road dare not speak out in anger. Even if they are hit by a whip, they dare not say a word and stay aside.

Although Chen Hang couldn't stand such a scene, he was new here and didn't want to get into trouble.

Soon, the carriage arrived at Chen Hang's side.

But at this moment, Yang Ying next to Chen Hang suddenly shouted: "My new clothes!"

But just when the crowd was crowding aside in panic and confusion, the package she tied to her body was squeezed out onto the street.

Finding her new clothes dropped on the street, Yang Ying screamed anxiously.He shouted and rushed out, trying to pick up his clothes.

"Don't go there!"

Chen Hang was shocked and hurriedly grabbed him.

Fortunately, Chen Hang was fast and caught Yang Ying. Otherwise, the girl wouldhave rushed to the street. I am afraid that she would have been hit by the carriage before she picked up her clothes.

With this little girl's thin physique, being hit by a carriage would definitely damage her muscles and bones, or even put her life in danger.

Before Chen Hang could breathe a sigh of relief, there was a sudden "pop" sound and a whip was struck.

"Dare to block the road? You are seeking death!"
