Chapter 239: Nanxiang

The heavy snow like goose feathers, it only took less than half an hour, and the whole world outside the city was dressed up in plain white, when a group of five people walked outside Nanxiang City, the snow on the road had been piled up half a foot thick, although the five people had a musical note barrier all the way to protect each other, there was not much snow on their bodies, and then walked to the city gate, and their boots were already covered with snow stains mixed with mud.

"Open the door!"

As soon as everyone entered the door to avoid the snow, the snow hanging on a few big characters in Nanxiang City fell from the city gate overwhelmed, and the cold wind blew down, and the swingers were covered with snow.

"I don't know how long it will take for this heavy snowfall, I think we should take refuge in the city for a few days, right?" Miss Mu wrapped her cotton clothes and glanced at Deacon Li with an inquiring gaze.

"Sudden snow doesn't stay overnight, such a rapid snow, it will definitely clear tomorrow!" Deacon Li stared at the city gate as if talking to himself, but it attracted Miss Mu's eyes.

"Bang bang bang-"

The gates of the city were slammed again by the historian, and this time it was not long before the response of the soldiers in the city was heard. After the historian revealed his identity, the city defender opened the city gate slowly.

Because Nanxiang is a closed city, even if the historian showed the medal symbolizing the identity of the pianist, he still did not escape a round of inspection by the drunken city guards.

Stepping into the streets of Nanxiangcheng, although it was just past noon, there was no longer half a figure in sight on the street, and the heavy snow seemed to have laid a thick silver-white carpet on the street, and no one had set foot on the carpet.

The group braved the heavy snow to leave a trail of footprints on the streets, and the shops on both sides of the street were already closed, and it was clear that none of the shopkeepers wanted to wait for the patrons to come in this weather.

"Shouldn't you be hungry if you enter the city?" After walking for half a street, she still didn't see a shop that was open for a living, and Miss Mu said a little disheartened.

"Eh, that shop seems to be open!" As he was talking, the historian found that a shop in front of him was half-covered, and everyone looked in the direction he was pointing to, and found that there was a series of new footprints left at the door of the store, and the group instantly saw hope.

"Is there anyone in the store?" said the historian, patting the closed door and looking into the store.

"Don't you see Lao Tzu drinking in the store, howling outside!" came the angry scolding of a big man from inside the store.

"The villain is a business traveler passing by here, and the strong man is also invited to have a convenient personality!" Ye Xianglun saw that the historian was about to make a color, knowing that he had never set foot in the rivers and lakes and did not understand the etiquette of the rivers and lakes, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said with a smile.

"It's not easy to come out and make a living with such a big snow, so it doesn't hurt to ask them to come in and avoid the snow. Ye Xianglun heard a man in the room comforting.

"It's a disappointment to get together with my eldest brother!" the big man complained just now and walked to the door reluctantly.

When the other door was opened, the light from outside showed a large man with a short beard looking out of the store. After Ye Xianglun saw this face, he immediately recognized this person as the hot-tempered man among the several salt merchants who had suppressed bandits with him in Yaoshan.

"Eh, that's not ......"

The irascible man should have recognized Ye Xianglun, but he couldn't remember what to call it for a while, Ye Xianglun saw this, and immediately squeezed his eyebrows and signaled to the big man not to say it.

"It's not ...... Is there another injured person, hurry, hurry, come in and drink a bowl of hot soup to warm up!" "Fortunately, the bearded man often walks the rivers and lakes, and there is no flaw in the response, compared to the angry scolding just now, his attitude changed one hundred and eighty degrees in an instant, and he stepped forward to help Ye Xianglun support Ye Chen behind him.

"Lao Cai, when did you become reasonable!" Several brothers who were drinking together in the store teased a little differently while eating when they saw that the big man actually helped Ye Xianglun to carry the injured people who were traveling with him.

"They all came from the rivers and lakes, of course they have to help each other!" the bearded man replied as he carried Ye Chen into the room at the side door.

"I love to listen to this, you can't forget your roots, brothers can have today, it's all up to our benefactor Ye ......" The big man who spoke, after taking a sip of spirits, slammed the wine bowl on the wooden table, and praised half of the words, as if he saw Ye Xianglun's face, and was stunned for a while.

"Eh, eh, our benefactor, Mr. Ye, is kind-hearted, although he is no longer there, but this filial piety is indispensable......" The bearded man felt that something was wrong, and hurriedly put down Ye Chen and walked out of the back room.

"Yes, yes, this filial piety must not be forgotten!" Although everyone didn't know the intentions of this big man surnamed Cai, they saw him squeezing their eyebrows, so they had to echo him.

"It's snowing so hard outside, I want to come to a few friends who haven't eaten yet, I've always liked to make friends on the rivers and lakes, I'll do it today, please have a drink!"

After stopping everyone, this bearded man surnamed Cai hurriedly arranged tables and chairs for Ye Xianglun and his party, this store was originally a lo-mei shop, and people often drank here in the store, so the store did not worry about tables, chairs and dishes, Ye Xianglun and others just sat down, and the "hospitable" store served a few pots and bowls.

"Does the store have vegetarian food?" Looking at the steaming braised pork on the table, Miss Mu asked with a sad face.

"Ah, this...... Yes, yes, but this girl has to wait a while, I'll go into the kitchen and prepare!" Shopkeeper Cai turned around and saw that the vegetarian dishes in the kitchen had been exhausted, and hurriedly beckoned a little brother at the adjacent table to go out and look for it.

"Third brother, where can I buy such a big snow, this girl is really, if you don't eat meat, you have to eat vegetarian food!" Ye Xianglun, the little brother who spoke, was not familiar, and when he came to Yaoshan, he was not in the salt merchant team.

"If you are told to buy it, you can buy it, and if you can't buy it, you can go home and pick it up, where is there so much nonsense!" shopkeeper Cai scolded angrily.

"My family lives at the north gate, isn't it embarrassing for the third brother, big brother, you are judged!" The little brother stood at the door of the store, looked at the heavy snow outside the door and complained.

"You have been in Nanxiang for so many years, who doesn't sell your face, can this little thing still be difficult for you?" Ye Xianglun saw that the person who spoke was the leader of the salt merchant that day.

"There's still no need to bother......" Miss Mu said a little embarrassed when she saw that the heavy snow outside the door still didn't stop.

"Since the eldest brother speaks, the younger brother will come when he goes!" The little brother saw the eldest brother next to him wave his hand at him, and he disappeared into the heavy snow.

"Shopkeeper Cai......" Miss Mu saw that others were taking materials from the snow for herself, and she really felt a little uncomfortable, so she got up and said to everyone, "There are many people!"

"It's good to say, it's easy to say!" said the big man at the next table at the same time.

After dividing the bamboo chopsticks, Ye Xianglun picked up a large piece of braised pork with soup and chewed it, while the historian exchanged glances with Deacon Li, it seemed that the two of them were suspicious of the enthusiastic actions of the shopkeeper Cai, Deacon Li moved his mind, and a touch of music turned into a slender silver needle, which appeared in front of Deacon Li silently.

"I think when we walked the rivers and lakes, we were often looked down upon, I Cai swore that when Lao Tzu was rich, he would open a restaurant, but for those who were bumpy in the road, now I Cai someone has withdrawn from the rivers and lakes, and opening this small shop is also for pleasure, brothers had better come to me for three meals a day, then I am happy!" Cai shopkeeper and his party also seemed to realize that they were a little over-enthusiastic, and the two explained by clinking glasses with their brothers.

"It seems that the third brother is not going to find us a sister-in-law!"
