Chapter 21 – Night Walk
On the evening of the same day, Wu Qi left the Mayor’s Mansion, alone.
The Mayor, Yi Yan, was still weeping and wailing. He really felt a deep heartache for his losses. Yi Xing and the other were puzzled by this wild burglary as well, therefore, they didn’t have any reaction to Lu Chengfeng’s decisions. With the exception of the fact that the number of guards on duty at night was doubled, the Mayor’s Mansion was no different that it was before.
He walked across the two main streets of Little Meng City, then walked through many alleys and backstreet. From the experience inherited from Wu Wang, Wu Qi made sure there was no one followed at his back, then only he went back to the main street and found a restaurant, bought two jars of best wine - ‘Yellow Jelly’, together with three roast chickens and a bunch of delicious stewed meat. He doesn’t know what the meat actually is, but he does know it is tasty.
Wu Qi had quite a bit of money with him, now that Lu Chengfeng had given him ten gold coins, that’s why he only bought the most expensive stuff. Just these wines and food alone it had cost him twenty-five silver coins, making the owner of the restaurant a very happy man.
After getting a wooden stick from the owner of the restaurant, Wu Qi carried the food and wine on his shoulders, walking slowly toward the Vigorous Tiger Residence, the home base for Zhang Hu and his men.
The sun was quickly falling beneath the horizon and wisps of smoke rose continuously from the chimneys in Little Meng City. This world was full of rich energies, therefore rice and grains grew extremely well. When they were cooked, the aroma of rice filled the air of Little Meng City. Wu Qi walked along the main street while carrying those wines and dishes. The aroma of rice stimulated his appetite and made him feel comfortable, relaxed, and peaceful.
A tune was coming from afar, a girl was singing in one of the house somewhere, although it was a simple melody, but the girl had a beautiful and sweet voice, the tune carried by the breeze and reached afar, just like the taste of a refreshing and sweet side dish, adding an exotic touch to the aroma of rice.
“Perfect, perfect!”
Wu Qi narrowed his eyes and gazed around like a thief. He saw quite a lot of tradesmen walking by with pretty women at their sides, either going home or to an inn. The rich energy in this world had made the ladies really pretty and sexy. In Le Xiao Bai’s experience, these ladies were the best of the best, they would have scored at least 95 out of 100 points back on Earth.
Staring at these attractive ladies, Wu Qi suddenly breathed out a long sigh. If Le Xiao Bai could have followed him, would that sex maniac fainted because of extreme happiness? The ladies here were so much better than those girls back on Earth.
Wu Qi smacked his lips and murmured, “I’ll revenge for you all, trust me! I’ll definitely destroy the whole clan of Green City!”
Little Meng City is not that big. After fifteen minutes of walking, Wu Qi had arrived at the Ferocious Tiger Residence located at the east side of the city.
This is a building with a front and back yard, and an acre wide field right in front of it. A yellow flag painted with a black tiger, was waving in the breeze, hanging high up on a pole that stood right in front of the field. A few men with blades at their waists were sitting on the stone steps in front of the entrance, chit chatting while checking out those who passed by.
When they saw Wu Qi was coming to their way, these men stood up and held their fists out toward Wu Qi. Showing them the same gesture, Wu Qi carried the wines and dishes and entered into the front yard. Those men were the barbarian hunters Wu Qi had met in Meng village, and they considered him a friend.
When he entered the front yard, he saw there was a big stone slab in the middle of the field, Zhang Hu and few other men were sitting on the ground beside the stone slab. There were few jars of liquor at the side, and a lot of roast meats and vegetables on the slab. On both side of the field were two rows of rooms, the atmosphere was pretty noisy too, those barbarian hunters were having fun while eating inside the rooms.
The sound of women moaning with pleasure can be heard from few rooms, Wu Qi even saw some sexy ladies were laughing while being carried by these barbarian hunters into their rooms, then the same moaning sound started to resound from within those rooms.
With a smile on his face, Wu Qi walked to the side of the stone slab, holding his fist toward Zhang Hu and bow deeply, then he said, “Big brother Zhang Hu, you guys really know how to enjoy life!”
Zhang Hu tilting back up his head and drinking a bowl of liquor, then slammed the bowl onto the stone slab and, with a dark face, said, “Bullshit! Before you came along, we were enjoying our life here, eating, drinking, and banging women. Now that is the life! But, now that you’re here, how can we continue this pleasure?”
Taking out the Green Flame Skeleton from his sleeve, Zhang Hu threw the skeleton with a talisman on it at Wu Qi.
“I suppose the Bursary Office is in the control of that young master from Lu family? According to the market price of a lower tier magical item, just pay me one hundred gold coins for it! And this is because here is Little Meng City, if I bring it to other bigger city, a lower tier magical item won’t just get me this little amount of money, right?”
Grabbed the Green Flame Skeleton and stuck it into his sleeve, Wu Qi placed the wines and dishes he bought onto the stone slab, then he broke the clay seal of the wine jar with his palm.
A rich aroma burst out from the wine jar, Zhang Hu, and the other men stood up together had their eyes glowed immediately.
“What? ‘Yellow Jelly’? Twenty years Yellow Jelly which cost ten silver coins a jar, damn, it’s been a long time since I drink it!”
While wondered at these wines, these few adults started to fight for the wine jar. At the end, Zhuang Hu, who had the biggest muscles, defeated his opponents, getting to enjoy a half jar of this fine wine alone, and the rest of five men can only share the remaining one and a half jar of wine. These men were good drinkers and the two big jars of wine were gone in less than fifteen minutes.
Letting out a satisfied burp, Zhang Hu gazed at Wu Qi with a smile, “Because of these two jars of fine wine, you got yourself fifteen minutes of time to say anything you want, hurry if you can’t finish in fifteen minutes then don’t waste your time!”
Sitting beside stone slab with his leg crossed, and facing toward Zhang Hu, Wu Qi said quietly, “You’re happy now. Really happy. But, when you get older and your body becomes weaker and weaker, can you still be happy like now? No one will be able to depend on you when you get old. No one will support you when you get old, either. Will you still be able to be happy at that time?”
The men’s expressions changed, the wine bowl in Zhang Hu’s palm cracked and shattered.
