Fish and lobsters in rivers and lakes drink water together.

Yun Mengze.

The spring rain is drenched, and pedestrians are in a hurry.

In front of a restaurant, pedestrians stop from time to time.

I just looked at the wooden fence in front of the restaurant with a notice, and then left in a hurry.

This restaurant has no signboard, but it has a well-known name - Face Restaurant.

This name originates from the mouths of people in the rivers and lakes, because in this green mountains and forests, ordinary people who will open a restaurant here, not to mention doing loss-making business, will not make a few dollars.

The difference between this restaurant is the wooden fence that stands three steps away from the left side of the restaurant.

The notices posted on the wooden fence will also be changed frequently, reward orders, buy murder ~ murder, secrets and gossip and other things in the rivers and lakes.

Therefore, when people in the rivers and lakes see this kind of restaurant, whether it is a black or white restaurant, they will give a little face, at least there will be no shortage of wine money and deliberate trouble.

"Let's go, let's go, few people come to drink anyway, and the shopkeeper will come back and suspect me of stealing wine money." ”

The little second of the restaurant walked to the door leisurely, looking at the people in the rivers and lakes who were wearing cold swords and swords, and there was no fear at all, but he secretly complained about the stinginess of the shopkeeper, and he was still thinking about whether the new guy got up.

That young man's name is Li Zhenlang, and he has been here for three or four days.

When I first arrived, I was muddy, ragged, my sleeves were gone, my arms were exposed, my trouser legs were broken, I couldn't cover my knees, my face was thin and yellow, and I looked hungry for several days.

I didn't say where he came from, I didn't say it, I didn't say it, I didn't understand it, I hadn't heard of any ball at all, it looked strange and pitiful, I couldn't watch him starve to death, so I decided to let him stay first, and wait for the shopkeeper to come back.

"Brother Erhu, I'm sorry, I'm late again. ”

Hearing the voice of the newcomer behind him, he turned around and said, "It's been three or four days, and I've eaten and drunk enough every day, so it stands to reason that it shouldn't be like this, is there any discomfort in my body?"

"Probably...... Maybe it's still jet lag, or maybe ...... Not used to the local environment. Li Zhenlang rubbed the back of his neck with his backhand and said.

The light rain outside the house is happy.

"What's jet lag?" Erju looked at him puzzled, "Is there really no discomfort?"

"I didn't ...... Nope. Li Zhenlang shook his head and waved his hand, and at the same time felt that the person in front of him was not bad.

Seeing him like this, Erju didn't ask any more and walked towards the counter, which was almost five feet high.

Li Zhenlang was not idle, and hurriedly cleaned up the tables and benches, and at the same time was thinking about why those people from the rivers and lakes didn't come in to sit and take shelter from the rain on rainy days?

This is different from what he knew before.

I don't understand it when I think about it.

Li Zhenlang sighed helplessly.

I've been here for more than ten days, and I have a vague understanding of this place.

Jianghu, martial arts, heroes, masters...... This series of keywords kept bouncing in his head.

That's right, he's reborn!

reborn in this so-called rivers and lakes.

Li Zhenlang was very calm, because he had already been excited before.

But after the excitement, there is loss, sadness and loneliness.

In this Jianghu, it is not easy to live at all.

The heroic dream at the beginning is also being shattered little by little, and a heart has long been so cold that it can't be colder anymore.

If he hadn't come to this restaurant, if he hadn't met the restaurant's guy Erju, then he Li Zhenlang would have starved to death in this green mountain and wild forest if he hadn't been killed by the people in the rivers and lakes.

If you are really starved to death, how sad it will be......

Just two days ago.

Li Zhenlang witnessed a group of people chasing and killing a person in front of this restaurant, even though that person was as fierce as a tiger, and killed five or six enemies when he was dying, but in the end, he couldn't withstand the siege and killing of a group of hungry wolves, and fell ten steps ahead, dripping with blood, which was shocking.

At that time, he was very frightened, afraid that the gang would turn around and kill the restaurant, but fortunately they just came in and drank a glass of spirits and left.

And the people in the rivers and lakes who died in front of the restaurant were still the guys of the restaurant who went to collect the corpse.

He said, the rivers and lakes are like this, fighting and killing are endless, whether it is vendetta or murder, as long as someone dies in front of our restaurant, our restaurant will do something for those who have died, and collecting a corpse is within our ability.

This is also one of the reasons why people in the rivers and lakes would give face to such a small restaurant.

There are rules for rivers and lakes.

But not everyone will follow this "rule".

In the rivers and lakes, maybe one day it will be your turn to lie on the ground, if there is no one to collect the body, it will be so desolate and sad.

"It's a real wave, the shopkeeper will come back in two days, and when the time comes, your eyelids will be lively, and your hands and feet will be numb, maybe the shopkeeper will agree to let you stay, remember. ”

"Well, I see, thank you Brother Erhu for taking care of me. Li Zhenlang looked back at the second pot who was making calculations and reconciliations, his face was serious and wrinkled, and those who didn't know thought that this was the shopkeeper of the restaurant.

"I'm a mother, fifty-eight copper coins have been in the account in the past ten days, and after the shopkeeper comes back, he has to lose his temper again. ”

Erju put down the thick account book and the one-foot-long abacus, looked out of the door with a melancholy expression, shook his head, and smiled bitterly.

Li Zhenlang asked, "Why don't you do business in a place with a lot of people, the flow of people here is really too small." ”

After observing in the past few days, Li Zhenlang found that the average daily flow of people in front of the restaurant was about 30 people, and among these 30 or so people, only seven or eight people would come in and drink a few glasses of wine.

More of them stayed in front of the wooden fence at the door, read the notice, and then left.

"What is the flow of people?" Erju turned his head to look at him, and said seriously, "Zhenlang, after the shopkeeper comes back, you must not say these words that you don't understand, if the shopkeeper is unhappy and doesn't want you to stay, then I can't help you." ”

Li Zhenlang's heart trembled immediately, and he hurriedly said, "I remember, I remember, thank you Brother Erhu for taking care of me." ”

His words really made Li Zhenlang a little worried, if the shopkeeper he had never met was really unwilling to let him stay, then where should he go?

In the vast world, he has no relatives, he is a stranger, and food and clothing are problems.

Thinking back to wandering in the mountains a few days ago, there was no food to eat, and I didn't dare to raise my head and stand tall when I walked, for fear that those heroes who passed by would see him unpleasantly and his hands were up and down.

Thinking about his previous life, which boy didn't have a "martial arts dream" in his heart?

Fast sword best friend, wine and beauty, long song on horseback, chivalrous and righteous, happy and enmity, sword light and sword shadow, you and I meet in the red dust, do not ask the source, do not look forward to the return date, stroke a song of liver and intestines, go to leave the liver and gallbladder two Kunlun!

This is every boy's dream when he is a child!

But when I grew up, everything changed......

Now, reborn in the rivers and lakes, why do you miss the taste of overtime in a certain factory?

Li Zhenlang sighed alone, this is not my "martial arts dream"!

"What a wave, I'll wash the dishes in the back for a while, and the shopkeeper will come back, but I can't sleep anymore!"

"I remember, thank you Brother Erhu for taking care of me. ”

Li Zhenlang finished wiping the table and walked towards the kitchen behind.

Erju was lying on the counter, looking at his back, and suddenly felt that he was being called by a brother of Erju, and he was quite strong.

This guy is nice and can talk.

I just don't know if the shopkeeper likes this set?

Erju really thought that this young man could stay, and he stayed, so he didn't have to wash the dishes in the future.

That's good.
