Chapter 379: Chapter 379 Ji Ruxue
…
As soon as he entered Yuzhou City, Shen Ye immediately forgot the idea of buying clothes and wandered around the streets like a curious baby. Whenever he saw interesting things on the roadside stalls, he would go over with a look of surprise.
In fact, in terms of experience, he has been all over the world and seen many big scenes. He has fought in wars, killed people, and even fought against the fate of the world. But this is his first time in ancient times, and looking at the scenes around him that can only be seen in historical documentaries, it is no wonder that he behaves like a bumpkin who has never seen the world.
Especially since he had just passed by a brothel, and looking at the magnificent building and the girls welcoming guests at the door, he had the idea of going in to take a look.
Unfortunately, perhaps because his clothes were too strange, he just stopped to look for a few seconds before being driven away by a few impatient brothel guards. He almost couldn't resist the urge to punch those brothel guards in the face.
After wandering around for a while, Shen Ye finally remembered his business, but he didn't know where he had gone. After walking around for a long time, he couldn't find a place to buy clothes.
Ancient times were different from modern times. There were no satellite maps, and Yuzhou City was also considered a large city. People who were not familiar with the place could easily get lost.
So he had to ask passers-by, but most of them saw his strange clothes and avoided him when they saw him coming. Finally, only a kind old man was willing to show him the way.
However, this old man's ability to express himself was not very good. He talked about this and that, and his words were inconsistent and used difficult-to-understand slang. Shen Ye couldn't understand what he said for a long time. He had no choice but to say thank you to him and left.
After wandering around for a while, Shen Ye felt a little tired.
It wasn't that he was physically tired. With his current physical condition, he could run for several days and nights without any problem. He just felt mentally tired. Maybe it was the emptiness after the novelty wore off, or maybe it was because he felt helpless being pointed at and talked about along the way. So he decided to rest for a while. Anyway, it was still early and he was not in a hurry.
Sitting down on a step on the roadside, Shen Ye recalled the plot in his mind while sighing and muttering that modern society is good. Not only are there shopping malls everywhere, but even if you want to go to an unfamiliar place, you can just take a taxi. It is much better than bumping around like a headless fly.
Just as he was sighing and complaining, he suddenly heard a commotion coming from a noodle stall not far away. He immediately watched the excitement with great interest.
But as the quarrel went on, they actually started fighting. Even the noodle stall was overturned, and chopsticks and bowls were scattered all over the floor. Only one lucky little bowl actually rolled all the way to him.
"A bowl from the late Tang Dynasty..." Shen Ye picked up the bowl, held it in his palm and began to study it, thinking that this thing should be worth a lot of money if he took it back.
As he was thinking about it, he suddenly felt a fragrant breeze blowing towards him. He raised his head slightly, but only saw a pair of long legs in knee-high socks passing by him.
Before he could look up and take a closer look, the owner of the long legs threw a few round things into the bowl he was holding, making a few crisp sounds.
Shen Ye was stunned and didn't bother to look at what the owner of the leg looked like. He picked up the things in the bowl and saw that they were actually a few copper coins of very good quality.
"Judging from the quality of the copper coins from the late Tang Dynasty, there should not be much iron mixed in. If that's the case, wouldn't I be rich if I take them back... Wait, am I being mistaken for a beggar?" The surprise that appeared on his face immediately turned into astonishment. Shen Ye suddenly raised his head to look in the direction the woman had gone, then stood up and chased after her.
"Wait a minute," he yelled.
Hearing his call, the woman in front stopped, then turned around and looked at Shen Ye coldly, and asked in a cold voice: "Why? Do you think it's too little?"
"I... am not..." Shen Ye was unable to utter the following words. He stared blankly at the woman in front of him who covered her pretty face with a blue scarf, and began to wonder why she came to Yuzhou so early.
If he was not mistaken, the woman in front of him should be one of the heroines of the show, Ji Ruxue.
So, is it always such a coincidence? Shen Ye thought helplessly.
"You are not what?" Seeing the man in front of her staring at her halfway through his words, Ji Ruxue's eyes flashed with a hint of displeasure.
Shen Ye finally came to his senses and quickly handed the copper coin back.
"I'm not a beggar, take this money back."
"You are not a beggar, so why are you sitting on the roadside with a bowl in your hand?" Ji Ruxue looked at the copper coins in Shen Ye's hand and did not reach out to take them.
"Sit on the side of the road and take a rest. I picked up this bowl. There was a fight over there just now, and this bowl rolled in front of me, so I picked it up." Shen Ye pointed to the place where the fight had just happened.
Ji Ruxue immediately looked in the direction of his finger and saw that the place was in a mess. A middle-aged man who looked like the owner of a noodle stall was picking up the unbroken bowls on the ground with a bitter face.
"Besides, have you ever seen a beggar as clean as me?" Shen Ye continued. He was wearing a short-sleeved shirt, so he just put his arm across in front of Ji Ruxue. The distance was so close that Ji Ruxue could even smell the scent of shower gel on his arm.
Although people in the martial arts world are not particular about trivial matters, Ji Ruxue is not used to having a man so close to her. She took a step back and then said calmly: "Whether you are a beggar or not, I give you the money, and I..."
As she said this, she suddenly seemed to have discovered something. She frowned and glanced behind Shen Ye. Then, after quickly saying the rest of the words, she turned around and left in a hurry.
"I won't take the money back, you can keep it and buy some steamed buns."
Looking at Ji Ruxue who was leaving in a hurry, Shen Ye tossed the copper coins in his hand, then turned his head slightly and glanced behind him with the corner of his eye. He saw a few furtive people looking in the direction where Ji Ruxue left.
"Xuanming Sect?" Shen Ye instantly thought of the identities of these people.
After all, in the original plot, the Xuanming Sect hunted down Ji Ruxue just for the Fire Ganoderma in her hand.
Then, glancing again in the direction Ji Ruxue had gone, he muttered to himself, "She's got a nice figure, no doubt… but I prefer them a little bigger."
After saying this, Shen Ye sat back on the side of the road, but when the people who were following Ji Ruxue passed by him, he stood up again and followed them not far away.
While following those people, Shen Ye was also paying attention to his surroundings. When passing by a private house, he caught a glimpse of several clothes drying in the yard that fit his figure very well. He slipped in, threw down a piece of gold, and took the clothes away.
