Chapter 17: The Spring

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's the inn's poor greeting, such a thing happened, it really swept everyone's interest, so let's do it, your meals are free at noon today, which is considered to be an apology to you. ”

The shopkeeper generously exempted today's meal to apologize to the monks present, and everyone also gave the shopkeeper a lot of face, and thanked him again and again.

"Shopkeeper Qiao, you asked Qiao Ying to save this shopkeeper, not just because you know him, right?" After the attention of the people around him was withdrawn, Lin Xuan asked suspiciously.

"You think too much, really just because I know him. Qiao Yi was a little speechless, do I look like the kind of person who has a lot of eyes?

Qiao Yi didn't want to pay attention to Lin Xuan, turned his head to Wang Ergou and said, "Why are you here, come, sit down first." Qiao Yi motioned for Lin Xuan to give up a place for Wang Ergou.

After Wang Ergou sat down, he lowered his head a little embarrassed.

"Brother Yi, do you remember a few years ago when we went to participate in the enrollment of the Heavenly Sword Sect and were turned away because of qualifications?"

"Of course, I inherited my family's shop and haven't seen you since. Later, I heard Aunt Wang say that you didn't go to work in other places, how do you do things here?" Qiao Yi asked suspiciously.

When Qiao Yi was young, he became the child king of the town, but he had the best relationship with Wang Ergou and Chen Yongan. Later, because he had no relatives around, Aunt Wang took special care of him. At that time, Qiao Yi basically had three meals in the Wang family.

When the two of them were teenagers, when the Heavenly Sword Sect was recruiting apprentices, Qiao Yi went to the test with Wang Ergou and Chen Yongan. As a result, Qiao Yi was born with weak meridians and was unable to cultivate. Chen Yongan was also unable to cultivate due to the blockage of his dantian.

The last Wang Ergou is a little better than the two of them, and it is okay to cultivate, but the qualifications are too low and people don't accept them. After the failure, Qiao Yi went to inherit his father's grocery store, and Chen Yongan also began to help his breakfast shop.

Only Wang Ergou has never given up cultivation. Due to his survival, he had to go to other places to work. But I don't know why it appeared in this hostel.

"Alas, it's hard to put into words. Wang Ergou sighed and said. "When I met robbers on my way to other places, they saw that I had no money, so they took me to the mountains and did robbery work with them. But a few days later, the robber's nest was served by a hero who didn't know where it came from, and I happened to be sent to keep an eye on the road for passers-by. Narrowly escaped. ”

"When I went back, there was no one on the whole mountain, so I rummaged through the ropes, and just so that I found the cultivation secret book of the great master of the mountain, and I began to cultivate according to it. ”

"But Brother Yi, you also know that with my qualifications, I have only cultivated to the ninth order of the Soul Sense over the years. Then by chance, I found a ruin in a mountain forest, I originally thought it was my chance, but who knew that there was a guardian beast at the peak of the Tongmai realm. ”

"I was rescued by the owner of this inn when I almost died, and in return I had to work as a chorre in this shop for ten years. ”

This is Wang Ergou's experience over the years.

"Then why don't you tell your family about your situation? Qiao Yi asked.

There has been no news of Wang Ergou for so many years, and Qiao Yi is embarrassed to go to Aunt Wang's house to eat again. Slowly, I began to learn to cook on my own.

"It's not like I don't know what to say. Besides, this is the world of cultivators, I really don't want to involve my parents, you have also seen it, if it wasn't for you just now... It's too dangerous. Wang Ergou said helplessly.

"Fart, no matter what, it's better than you just disappearing. You haven't heard from you for so many years, do you know how worried they are about you? You're their only son, you've been gone for so many years, how much they miss you, you know? They haven't given up looking for you. Trust me, come home with me when we're done. ”

Wang Ergou looked at Qiao Yi's sincere eyes and nodded heavily. No matter what, you can't let the people who care about you worry about your life anymore.

Wang Ergou was still immersed in emotion, and in a blink of an eye, he saw that Qiao Yi had already eaten.

"Mmmm, what kind of meat is this, so delicious?" Qiao Yi's mouth was full, and he couldn't speak clearly.

"Lamb. Lin Xuan's face was black. Is this really what I thought of as a predecessor at the beginning? Am I going to reconsider it?

Wang Ergou was also blinded, he was still sensationalizing one second, and he started eating the next second? Are you still Brother Yi I know.

"Eat, what are you doing with me?" Qiao Yi looked up and saw that several people were staring at him, which made him a little panicked.

Lin Xuan and the others hadn't spoken yet, but a voice came from behind them.

"Brother Qiao has a good appetite, I wonder if I have the honor to sit with you?"

Qiao Yi looked back and saw that the person who came was a young man in his early twenties, with a teenager.

Qiao Yi looked around. "Aren't there any seats in this hall? Why do you have to share a table?"

"Sharing a table?" I don't know the meaning of the word, but I can guess it just by literally.

"The main thing is to make friends with a few people. The young man replied.

After a few seconds of silence and no one spoke, the young man suddenly realized something and said with a smile: "Ha, it's rude, let me introduce myself first." My name is Izumi, and I can barely be considered a businessman, and this is my younger brother, named Yun. ”

The young man named Yun bent down and saluted, "Hello, my name is Yun." ”

When Qiao Yi and the others saw it, they hurriedly stood up and saluted back: "I am Qiao Yi, the owner of the Wanwu God Shop, and I am also a businessman. ”

"I'm the clerk of the God of All Things store, Qiao Ying. ”

"Yipharm Master, Lin Xuan, this is my sister, Lin Yao. ”

"Hello. ”

"That's... My name is Wang Ergou. ”

The young man named Yun couldn't help but laugh and said: "Ergou, that one is called Mu Mouse, your name is Ergou, no wonder he wants to trouble you, it turns out that you ......"

"Yun!" Izumi snorted, and Yun immediately shut up.

"Please forgive me, little brother, my brother is so open-mouthed, I'm really sorry. Izumi said apologetically.

This time it was Wang Ergou's turn to be embarrassed, scratched his head and smiled: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

In order to prevent him from continuing to be so embarrassed, Qiao Yi took the initiative to change the topic and said, "Since they are all making friends, let's sit down." Ergou, you can move the table next to no one and put it together. ”

Originally, it was just right for four people to sit at this table, but a Wang Ergou was added halfway, although it was squeezed a little, but it was still able to sit. Now that Izumi has been added again, the two Yun brothers, if they don't move a table over, they really won't be able to squeeze in.

Wang Ergou answered and went to move the table, and everyone sat down again.

Quan suddenly praised: "Shopkeeper Qiao is a good means and a good strategy." ”

"What's that?"

Qiao Yi was a little confused, what the hell, do you think I saved Ergou for a purpose?
