C141 Meeting on a Narrow Path
The others at the table were all old drivers. Some of them were already familiar with the road, while some of them had already pulled their hands together. Some of them were talking to the girl in soft voices, while Luo Sanlee was the simplest and crudest.
Pei Feng naturally understood what kind of meal this was. He didn't mind. After all, this was a very normal thing to do, but he himself did not care.
During a meal, he didn't even touch the girl and just chatted for a bit.
The girl's name was Chang Xiao'e and she was 16 years old. She came from the next village, Wang Zhuang Village.
Her family was a special hardship case of Wang Zhuang Village, her mother died early, her father worked outside the home all year round, her four children had been living with her grandparents and her brother had also gone out to work early. She and her second sister had not gone to school after graduating from junior high school, only her youngest brother was still in primary school.
Previously, she had been working in the village's clothing factory, but this time it was a friend who had introduced her to Mingwu Village. Because she was extremely beautiful, she was secretly left behind by Wu Dazong, planning to recommend her to the most important customers.
The original schedule was to visit the martial-arts temple in the afternoon and go to the Annual Competition in the evening, but this farmhouse's self-brewed rice wine had a lot of energy, and they also had beauties by their side to accompany them. When the meal ended, Hei Zi, Tu Long, and Liao Wei were all drunk, while Luo Sanlee had already disappeared halfway.
Seeing that Ninth Master Du, Xue Renju, and Qian Fengnian were drinking and chatting happily, Pei Feng got a little impatient, so he excused himself to go to the toilet and walked towards the door alone.
It was rare to come to this Mingwu Village, so he wanted to take a look around to see if he could find any surprises in this rural area.
Before he could reach the door, Wu Dazong and Chang Xiao'e had already caught up with him.
"Mr. Pei, where are you going?"
Pei Feng turned around and glanced at Wu Dazong. He smiled and said: "I will go out for a walk. You guys continue, don't worry about me."
Chang Xiao'e understood and quickly walked to his side. She spoke in a soft, shy voice: "Mr. Pei, let me bring you on a tour around the village, I'm very familiar with the Mingwu Village, and it's currently at the Martial Arts Temple Meet. The people's atmosphere is very strong, so if there's any conflict, you will suffer a loss, so it's better to have me to accompany you."
"That's right, that's right, Mr. Pei. Xiao'e is right." You're not familiar with this place of yours, so it's best if you can have her to accompany you. At least you can be a tour guide. "
Pei Feng looked at Wu Dazong with a smile that was not a smile, but he did not refuse: "Ok, come with me."
"..."
There were a lot of people inside the Mingwu Village, and it was also very lively. There were shelves and all sorts of martial arts arena everywhere.
The items sold were also very distinctive – candied fruits, tofu flowers, scallion pancakes, persimmon pancakes, sugar candies, carrot pancakes, Little Man's Book, as well as all kinds of daily necessities made by rural people themselves.
The martial arts arena was basically just a white circle on the ground or a cordoned rope. There were people performing martial arts, people performing supreme techniques, wrestling competitions, arm wrestling competitions, pushing competitions, and even people setting up crude arenas to gamble and accept challenges. There were all sorts of people and it was very interesting.
Pei Feng and Chang Xiao'e strolled around casually. They looked around here and there while leisurely walking around the village.
"Oh right, do you know about the Annual Competition?"
After buying a bunch of snacks for Chang Xiao'e, Pei Feng finally got to the point when he saw that she had let go and was no longer as shy as before.
"I know, the sisters in the village often talk about this to me. This time, when I came, Chairman Wu also told me about the Annual Competition."
"Oh? Then what are the arrangements for the Annual Competition? "
"Annual Competition today is the first day, and up to the end of the day, every day will officially begin at seven in the evening."
Annual Competition is the gathering of experts. I heard from my sister that every year, people will die from Annual Competition, and this is a real arena battle. Moreover, the prize money is shockingly high, and I heard that there are tens of millions!
At this point, her eyes dimmed.
Tens of millions... To her, it was an astronomical figure. If it wasn't for her family being poor, she wouldn't have been unable to attend school, and even more so, wouldn't have paid the price of her innocence to participate in the Annual Competition this time around.
The ideal is plump, the reality is bony, everyone's fate is different.
How could she not want to be like some of her classmates, going to the county's key high school and then going to university. In the future, she would leave the countryside, work hard in the big cities, and chase after her dreams.
It was a pity that she was a girl and her family wasn't well off … Her father only allowed his youngest brother to go to school, so she and her sister had to make money early to support him.1
"Your visit to the Mingwu Village this time … are you here specifically to accompany us esteemed guests from Nanjiang, Yu Hang? "
Pei Feng saw through everything, of course he knew what she was thinking.
"Mm …" "I'm here to accompany you, Mr. Pei."
At this point, her beautiful face flushed red and she didn't even dare to look up at him.
Pei Feng smiled: "Oh? Then after you accompany me, how much will that Wu Dazong promise you? "
Chang Xiao'e bit her lips, as if finding it hard to say anything.
"Just tell me whatever I ask. Don't have any scruples, and don't hide anything from me."
"..." "5,000."
This Wu Dayong was really unlucky.
Pei Feng shook his head.
"That... Mr. Pei, at night... Do you want me to accompany you? "
Chang Xiao'e's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, "Wu Qiushu said... If I make you happy, you will reward me with money. All mine.
Pei Feng laughed involuntarily in his heart, and asked indifferently: "How many times have you come here to participate in Annual Competition?"
"The first time."
Pei Feng looked at her quietly. He knew that this little girl was not lying.
"So it's like this. I don't need you to accompany me at night, just follow me for these three days during the day. I'll give you a generous reward on the 10th, how about it? "
Chang Xiao'e looked up at him in surprise and joy. "Really? "How much?"
Pei Feng frowned slightly: "You seem to care a lot about money."
Chang Xiao'e was stunned for a moment before she said softly, "I have to make up for my family and take care of a portion of my brother's tuition and living expenses. Furthermore …" I have a dream. "
"What dream?"
"I... "I want to save up some money, then go to high school in two years. I want to take the university entrance exam. I want to leave this place, go to a big city to work, live, and struggle!"
Chang Xiao'e's beautiful almond-shaped eyes flashed with a strange light as she spoke with a look of longing.
This was a girl who had a dream in her heart, and was unwilling to accept this fate …
"Having a dream is a good thing. Don't worry, the reward I'll give you will be much more than the one Wu Dazong gave you."
Pei Feng didn't say anything else and waved his hand: "Let's go. Accompany me to visit other places."
The two of them had just turned a corner on an old street when a group of people came to meet them, led by … It was Zhuang Kaigaang!
The streets of the Mingwu Village were narrow to begin with, and now, during the Martial Arts Temple Meet, it was crowded with people.
The two of them walked in front of each other. There was no way to avoid it. Zhuang Kaigaang saw him and Chang Xiao'e at a glance.
