4.

The horizon was exposed to hemp gray, as if the ink had been hooked to the bottom, hazy, the narrow road between the mountains was snowing in the middle of the night, and the undulating hills and ravines were like flour that had not been sprinkled evenly, smeared black and white.

Although the climate is cold, it is difficult for the mountain people to make a living, and there are already traces of people on the road as soon as the day is released.

Zhaoran stepped on the "creaking" snow, and saw a mountain man carrying a large bundle of firewood down the mountain from a distance, so he waved his hand to greet him: "This master, have you heard of Sanho Village?"

The mountain people were bold, but when he looked up and saw an old man in a shroud shaking his thin paws at him, he was also frightened, and he ran away after losing firewood, but the snow was slippery, and he was scared again, and let Zhaoran catch up with him in three or two clicks.

"This big brother, there are ghosts in these three hoarding villages, why are you so scared that you want to run away when I ask you?"

The mountain people were put on their shoulders by Zhaoran's claws, and they were so frightened that they had more breath and less breath, and they thought to themselves, isn't the ghost your uncle?

"Uncle wants to ask Rongjiazhuang?"

"Rongjiazhuang?" was puzzled, and blinked his wrinkled eyes twice.

The mountain people breathed a sigh of relief and patiently explained: "The people in Sanho Village are all surnamed Rong, so the people in the neighborhood generally call them Rongjiazhuang. ”

"Yes, yes, how to go!"

The mountain people looked at him with difficulty, trembling and pointing to a fork in the road: "Uncle can see it when you walk to the end of this road." When he said this, he remembered that he had accumulated virtue in half his life, and today he actually harmed a Zhuangzi person, and he didn't know how much of an account the king of Hades would write down for himself, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.

Zhaoran felt that the mountain people had something unspeakable, but he was afraid that there was something unspeakable about the three hoarding villages, and there might be a demon hidden, so he thought of this and asked: "Then do you want to go home with this firewood?"

The mountain people were so frightened that they hurriedly shook their heads: "Uncle, I'm going to sell it in the town below, it snowed heavily last night, and firewood can be sold at a good price." ”

There's a lot of yang in the town......

Who knew that Zhaoran said simply: "I went with you." ”

The two walked all the way, and Zhaoran asked the mountain people for their name, and the mountain people didn't dare not answer, but they kept an eye on it, saying that others called him Hu Sanzi, but in fact, the father and mother who would call him the third son had already been buried in the ground and rotted into white bones, and I was afraid that there was no friendship with this old ghost.

Zhao Ran said politely: "Third Brother Hu, is this town big?"

"Don't dare. Hu San hurriedly responded, he walked with Zhaoran for a long time, and felt that Zhaoran, the old ghost, was more flexible than a zombie, and he was not fierce, so he kindly reminded him with a little unbearable: "This Marble Mountain only has a mountain every hundred miles, and the people who want to climb the mountain from this mountain are concentrated in Rong'an Town, so the town is not big but very lively." ”

There are a lot of people, and the yang energy is big......

Zhaoran's eyes lit up: "It's good if there are more people, I like more people the most!"

This sounds close from the mountains to the town, but in fact, it is twenty or thirty miles apart, and when they arrive at the entrance of the town, it is already Chen, and the grass market in front of the town has been opened, and it is very lively.

The two were about to separate, and Hu San hesitated and reminded: "Uncle, don't you change your clothes and enter the town?"

Zhao Ran then remembered that he was still wearing a shroud, Ru Niang's clothes only had the mink cloak on the outside that was not stained with blood, but it was still wrapped in her human skin, he thought about it and neatly took off his shroud and handed it to Hu Sandao: "Please ask Hu Sange to help me change my clothes." ”

Hu San took the shroud stiffly, found a stall for him to change the old clothes, and when he came over with cotton clothes and cotton pants, he couldn't help but blurt out: "Can you change so much?"

"This is all your old man's good style, virtuous son and filial grandson, this shroud has cost a lot of money. Hu San praised it.

Zhaoran put on his clothes, glanced at Hu Sanluo, and said apologetically: "It's been a long time since Brother Hu San, you wait in front of the door after you sell firewood, and when I come out of it, I'll give you the money for the road." With that, he went into the city happily with his baggage on his back.

Hu San looked at his back and said secretly in his heart: "It's not that I don't sue you, there is a demon suppression tower built by the national teacher in the town, and you have to enter the city......"

－－－－

As soon as Zhaoran entered the town, he smelled the aroma wafting from all kinds of restaurants, so that he almost stuck to the door of the restaurant and couldn't move, but fortunately, he also knew that his pocket was empty, so he had to hold on to the wall and search for a while, find a pawnshop and get in. People come and go here, there is no shortage of strange people, Chao Feng looked at the thumb-sized pearl, and then glanced at Zhaoran's dignity, more is better than less, asked whether it is dead or alive, and immediately paid the silver two to Zhaoran.

Zhaoran took the money and immediately ran to the nearest restaurant, the largest restaurant, entered the door and took out a silver ingot, patted it in front of the account room, and said: "Give me a side room and pick up the best dishes in your family." ”

At this moment, it is not yet noon, the restaurant will open the door, where is the best dish, the boss can only order some braised vegetables into the room first, who knows that Zhaoran saw the braised pig's feet and pounced on one hand to grab a hand, the boss hurriedly called someone on a pot of braised feet, then bowed and retreated.

The boss outside calculated the accounts, and a pot of braised pig's feet could not cost a single ingot, so he hurriedly called the kitchen to prepare more expensive dishes that were profitable, so after a while, Xiao Er outside walked into the private room with a plate of steamed fish with a smile.

"What's delicious again?" Zhao Ran gnawed a pot of pig's trotters, and was satisfied with the chair and patted his stomach.

Xiao Er looked at Zhaoran and blurted out, "Where's the uncle?"

"What uncle?"

Xiao Er hurriedly asked again politely: "Master, where is your father?"

"Whose father are you asking?" Zhao Ran was a little unhappy, he had just crawled out of the grave, how could he know where his father was?

Xiao Er was a little anxious: "This master, just now your father gave us a piece of silver to buy the most expensive dish, he is leaving, we have already made this dish, do you still admit it?"

Zhao Ran suddenly realized something, and said: "Why don't you admit it, let it go, let it go, he can go out in a hurry......! Bring me a basin of water, and I'm going to wash my hands. ”

Xiao Er breathed a sigh of relief and put down the steamed fish: "This lord, this is the most famous dish in our Rong'an Town, called Buddha fish." ”

"Buddha fish?

Xiao Er saw that the guests were really interested, and couldn't help but say excitedly: "This fish was originally born in Hantan, and Changchun died in winter. Giving to sentient beings in the flesh is the best kind of giving, so the Buddha only fed the tiger in the flesh, that is, this fish has this great wish, that is, it will be fulfilled. Therefore, the Buddha immediately made people steam the fish in the basket and eat it from head to tail, so this fish is also called the Buddha fish. Master, eating this fish is a matter of accumulating virtue and cultivating blessings. ”

Zhao Ran looked at this fish a few times, the fish body is only three fingers wide, crystal clear, dotted with green onions on it looks like a delicacy, thinking that this Buddha just wants to break the mouth of the ring, but also tossed out a lot of truth, maybe this fish is really delicious, he itched in his heart and waited for Xiao Er to go out, and hurriedly picked up the fish with chopsticks and sent it to his mouth.

After eating for a long time, he couldn't help frowning and pulling out the fish bones from his mouth: "I didn't eat one or two of the meat, but I ate a handful of fish bones! Just eating this fish, the strength to eat it is not worth the strength to eat it, what pity for the hunger and cold of the world, I am afraid that this fish is intended to take revenge." He said and threw the fish bone in his hand into the plate in disgust.

Xiao Er brought the water with a copper plate in his hand, and a few dried flowers floating on it said with a smile: "Master, the clean hand water you want is here." ”

Zhaoran waved his hand to let him go down, and then pulled out the dried orchid to take a photo, and found that he was really much younger, and even his hair seemed to be thick and shiny, in fact, the skin was still old skin, but the flesh under the skin was firm, and the old folds were stretched, and people naturally looked a lot younger.

He was in a good mood, washed the old mud in the folds with water, and then went out of the tavern door refreshed.

－－－－

As soon as I went out, I heard someone shouting at the crowd on the road: "Disperse, disperse!"

Zhao Ran squeezed in the crowd and tiptoed to take a look, only to see a group of horses coming slowly, the current is a few tall horses, the front of the horse sat a man dressed in embroidered gold pattern Xuanyi, eagle eyes, deep facial features are stiff, tall and slender, straight and steady like a mountain, feet on black leather boots, very stylish, Zhao Ran praised "good skin" in his heart.

The man rode slowly through the downtown without squinting, and he didn't even glance at the small people looking down, and when he was gone, Zhaoran was still looking at his back on tiptoe, wondering when this person would die?

I only heard someone next to me whispering: "This is Princess Jiashan's jade ride!"

"This man in front of him is a horse. ”

"No, the attached horse is from the veterans' department, the prince and the young prince's mansion. ”

"Sure enough!"

Zhaoran's heart was half cold, a little tasteless, and he heard the words in his ear: "I heard that the princess came this time, also for the Buddha fish, and the other to go into the mountain to pray for blessings." ”

"Isn't that going to be a long time?"

"Didn't you hear that the princess's mansion was recruiting maids?"

"Alas, when will this kind of good opportunity be the turn of the small people such as me, I am afraid that it will be occupied by the rich families in the town. ”

"No, I heard that the princess's mansion only recruits orphans who have no home and no mouth, in order to eliminate those thoughts of clinging to villains. ”

Zhao Ran went through these gossips, found a grocery store, asked for a peach wood sword, some charms, fortunately Rong'an Town came and went, all kinds of strange things, Zhao Ran rolled these things, and listened to the grocery store owner's pout, bought a piece of evil jade Pei excitedly planned to go to Sanhozhuang to remove the Demon Guard.

As soon as he went out, he bumped into a person, and when he raised his eyes, he almost didn't frighten the birth of one Buddha and the second Buddha ascended to heaven.
