Chapter 37 A Thousand Miles Away
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will return the spirit stone early."
Ye Yang put away the two cloth bags, feeling heavy and feeling a sense of satisfaction in his heart.
"You should also sign this contract. It will be repaid within three years and the interest will be divided into two cents."
Ye Yang frowned again. Two points of interest was not low, which meant that he would have to pay back one thousand two hundred spiritual stones in three years.
Generally speaking, loan sharks on the black market only charge an interest rate of three to four cents.
"Why, you don't mean to lend it to you in vain, do you? My dear nephew, I don't have a boss, so I don't know that firewood, rice, cooking oil, and cigarettes are expensive. This Yufu seems to be a big family, but in fact, people eat and drink every day and don't dare to calculate it carefully. "
Ye Yang glanced at the huge Yu Mansion, smiled and said: "My sister-in-law is right, I will sign right now."
Ye Li had already prepared paper, pens, ink pads and other items. Ye Yang put a red fingerprint on it, making two copies. Ye Li took one copy and left.
From beginning to end, there was no mention of Yu Hu and Liu Yeyang eating.
Ye Yang no longer wanted to wander around Yu Mansion, so he took 1,200 spiritual stones and prepared to return to Feitianmen.
There was a conversation behind him.
"Mom, I heard that a cousin from afar is here?"
"Yes."
Why is there another one? In just a few months, more than a dozen foreign cousins have come. "
"This one is different, it's a kiss."
"Then why don't you let me see you?"
"Nowadays, the Yu family is a big family, and your father is going to be promoted. There are too many people who want to be relatives. It's better not to get confused. There may be more troubles in the future."
"All right."
"Silly boy, hurry up and go eat. Today the kitchen made snow clam stewed dragon. I specially asked the chef from the north to cook it. If you go late, it will be gone..."
The final sound fades away.
When Ye Yang raised his head and stood up to look straight ahead, he suddenly realized that he had been out of Yu Mansion for a short time.
The spiritual stone in his hand is still heavy.
"Money is a hero's courage and vitality. A poor man playing with ten steel hooks in the downtown area cannot catch his relatives and friends; a rich man using swords, guns and sticks in the mountains cannot break up his unjust guests and friends."
This sentence was quite right. Ye Yang laughed at himself. In fact, he had received a lot of looks from an orphan and was very thick-skinned.
When he first asked his sister-in-law Ye Li to borrow the spirit stone, he had already expected that today's scene might happen.
But when faced with thousands of spiritual stones, the only person he could think of lending to him was Ye Li.
Bai Zizhen didn't want to waste the favor in vain. After all, favor was valuable and would be of greater use in the future.
Besides, Bai Zizhen has given him a lot of help in terms of cultivation resources over the years, so he really shouldn't bother him anymore.
Even though he is very popular in the sect, that is because there is no conflict of interest between everyone. Once there is contact of interest, many things will be difficult to talk about.
Even if he could borrow it, the price he would pay would be much higher than these two sarcastic words.
He deeply knows that the reason why most people are unsuccessful is because they are too thin-skinned and too arrogant.
As the saying goes, if you are thick-skinned, you will not have enough to eat.
Therefore, he has always been proud of his thick skin.
…
After leaving Yu Mansion, Ye Yang did not delay and immediately rode back to Feitianmen.
Because he had a huge sum of money, he didn't stop too much along the way, and soon reached the "Twilight Danxia" area of Feixianmen.
He found a small stream, tied his horse to a tree, ate a few mouthfuls of dry food in the stream, and rested for a while.
At this moment, a large knife slashed out from behind him and struck directly at his shoulder.
"who!"
Ye Yang exclaimed, he had already obtained the Seven Ring Knife. With a flick of his backhand, he used a soft move to cut off the steel knife directly, and then cut it horizontally.
A bloody arm was immediately chopped off by him and fell into the stream, dyeing a large area of the stream red.
"The strength is not very strong."
Ye Yang turned around and realized that there were three people standing behind him. These three people were frightened when they saw Ye Yang's fierce yet silky attack method, their eyes were horrified.
"Who are you?"
The three people in front of them had messy hair, which was already tangled because they hadn't washed it for too long. They were wearing a piece of black rikishi armor that didn't fit very well, and they didn't know where it came from.
Looking at the costumes of the three people, Ye Yang already had a guess in his heart.
The man whose arm was cut off showed a trace of nervousness and said in a Nuo voice: "We are swordsmen."
Swordsman is a warrior who uses a sword as a weapon. Ke is an honorific title, but in fact it mostly refers to fierce gangsters, giant bandits and the like.
"Why are there bandits near Feitianmen?"
Ye Yang was surprised. He thought carefully and found that he often encountered bandits and evil cultivators these few times when he went down the mountain.
As for the homeless people with no fixed abode, there are even more people. It can be said that they are starving and dying in the wilderness, selling their children and girls. From time to time, you can see corpses eaten by wild dogs in the wilderness.
Jiuyang Prefecture and several surrounding prefectures were hit by severe disasters. Afterwards, the land was devastated for thousands of miles, and there was no harvest. The people had no fixed homes and fled everywhere.
Some of the remnants of the vassal states who were originally eradicated by the Universiade Dynasty also fled the old site and went to Yalongling because they refused to accept the enlightenment.
Fortunately, the situation in the hinterland of the sect is much better than the outside world.
But now it seems that the refugees have also moved towards the hinterland.
"Uncle, we are good citizens, but we were forced to take action against you because we had no other choice. We didn't expect to bump into a great Bodhisattva like you."
"Get out of here!"
"Yes, thank you, sir. Good luck, we'll go now."
The leader covered his arm and turned around. At this moment, he opened his mouth and spit out a poisoned jujube nail, which went straight to Ye Yang.
The other two also came to hunt Ye Yang.
"I've been on guard against you for a long time."
Ye Yang waved the seven-ring knife, and with a ding-dong sound, the jujube nail had already been hit into the stream.
Ye Yang no longer had any mercy in his heart. These people attacked him from behind, and now he cut off one of their hands. It can be said that they are enemies of life and death and cannot be reconciled.
Although the possibility of revenge is very small with the strength and background of these people, Ye Yang does not want to gamble, and does not want to give others a possibility of threatening himself.
Ye Yang originally thought about whether to kill these people on the spot to prevent future troubles.
However, considering the identity of refugees, there is always some humanity in his heart that he can't let go.
At this moment, the other party attacked him again, and there was no mercy in his heart.
Three bright knife lights flashed, and the three people were separated from their heads.
Ye Yang searched the other party's pockets and only found a few scattered spiritual stones.
He shook his head and didn't take it seriously. If these people really had spiritual stones, they wouldn't be bandits.
Ye Yang rode on the horse and looked at the spiritual stone bag on the horse's back. He didn't know if this thing made others jealous.
To be on the safe side, Ye Yang slapped the horse's butt hard, accelerated, and headed towards Feitianmen.
...
After returning to the sect, Ye Yang returned the horse and did not go into the house. Instead, he walked around the old house outside.
He carefully calculated the spiritual stones in his hand.
