Chapter 47: Prey and Wolves
The sentence "go quickly" disturbed Murong Lingfeng's heart, and when he looked at the young man again, he had already turned around and left only a back. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The little boy tapped his index finger on the table, and from time to time he raised his eyes to look at the young man, thoughtful.
The girl served the black cloak with wine and food, and then came to Song Xiao's table with two bowls of water, put the water on the table, and stood at the table smiling and waiting quietly.
Song Xiao looked up at her, and the girl just smiled at him and didn't say a word. The two stared at each other for a long time, Song Xiao was stared at by her and couldn't help it, "Girl, what special wine and food do you have, introduce it, otherwise how can we order it?"
The girl smiled, her eyes drooped, and her lips pursed lightly, her expression shy and aggrieved.
The people in the lobby all looked over here, and the shopkeeper also walked out from behind the counter, and Murong Lingfeng realized that the fierce-looking shopkeeper was actually a lame.
The shopkeeper walked here step by step with difficulty on crutches, and bowed slightly to Song Xiao to apologize, "Guest officer, I'm really sorry." My little daughter is naturally dumb and can't speak, so I ask the little guest officer to forgive me. Whatever you want, just tell her. The shopkeeper's voice was hoarse, although it was a kind word, but because of his voice, it made people feel threatened, coupled with his appearance, Song Xiao straightened his waist, feeling a little restrained and afraid.
"Does the master order anything?" Murong Lingfeng was used to being arrogant, but he didn't eat this set, and still held his chin and tilted his head to look at him.
The shopkeeper grinned, but because of that ugly face, it looked even more terrifying, "We are just a small shop that is convenient for passers-by, and the little young master will naturally not have it if he wants a palace banquet of delicacies and seas, if you come to a few home-cooked dishes, with a pot of wine to fill the stomach and warm up the body of the little master, we can still deal with it here." "In other words, I'm just a small shop, and if you don't order it right, it's going to be difficult for a strong man.
Song Xiao also frowned unconsciously when he heard the doorway at this time, and he could see that the shopkeeper's face immediately wilted like a deflated ball, and he could only look at Murong Lingfeng to see how she was maneuvering.
How could the dignified little son of the Murong family not even have this kind of bearing? Murong Lingfeng still looked lazy, and ignored the threats in the shopkeeper's words, "Then go to your family's specialty, two vegetables and one meat, and then a bowl of soup without wine." ”
The dumb girl nodded and snorted and gestured with her hand twice, Song Xiao didn't understand and bumped into Murong Lingfeng, "What did she say?"
The shopkeeper chuckled, "It's okay, the little girl just wants to say that my home-brewed pear blossoms are white and sweet but not spicy, very delicious, don't you want a pot of little master?"
The mute woman nodded on the side, as if expecting something.
Song Xiao was originally a greedy cup, and he didn't dare to touch it more when he had his brother at home, so he finally came out once and naturally wanted to taste it, but he was just about to speak when he was kicked by Murong Lingfeng.
Little Master Murong waved his hand lazily, "Master doesn't measure, don't drink when you go out." ”
The lame shopkeeper patted the dumb girl's arm and asked her to go to the back hall to prepare, "The little young master is still young, not yet the age of drinking, you go and get these things in place." ”
Murong Lingfeng was not annoyed when he heard the shopkeeper's mockery, but nodded approvingly, she is young, only sixteen years old, and the coming-of-age ceremony has not yet passed.
Song Xiao was a little unpleasant, but now that the little boy has the final say, he can't say anything, so he can only wait for the food to be served.
The lobby was full of the sound of eating vegetables, but no one was talking, probably a little restrained.
The black cloak was not a safe lord at first glance, and after two sips of wine, the strength also came up, and he began to talk to the guests in the hall. "Thanks to this inn, I might not be able to get over it tonight! But shopkeeper, what do you think? If you open a shop in such a place, aren't you afraid that you will be swallowed by wolves in the middle of the night when you sleep?"
"Little brother also encountered wolves?" asked the wind ** man with a smile.
The black cloak put another chopstick-sauce beef into his mouth, "It's not true, those green-eyed people, fortunately I ran fast." He looked at the people in the lobby again, and suddenly smiled and asked, "Have you heard the story of the wolves?"
Feng ** man raised his eyebrows, "There are many stories about this wolf, most of them are about how cruel and ferocious they are, and how cunning they take revenge." ”
The black cloak shook the chopsticks in his hand, "Cruelty and ferocity are all in the nature of animals, when have you ever seen a beast as quiet and submissive as a rabbit? When it comes to cunning, what can be better than a man? But in the end, wolves and humans are the most similar." Knowing the advantages and avoiding the disadvantages also knows what you want. The black cloak poked the beef slices on the plate with his head down, and continued, "You know what? Every time the wolf finds a target, the wolves scatter and form an encirclement, slowly approaching the prey, and by the time the prey reacts, it is already surrounded by wolves, and there is no way to escape. ”
His statement seemed to arouse the interest of many people, and the big man no longer bored his head to eat, turned around and discussed with him, "According to what you say, the wolves are invincible, but I haven't seen them dominate the mountains and forests! The ultimate king of the mountain must be a tiger!"
After the big man finished speaking, everyone in the hall laughed, and this is indeed the case, no matter how capable the wolves are, they are not the opponents of the tigers.
The black cloak shook his head, "No, no, no! that's what I'm going to say, the cleverness of the wolves." I agree with what this eldest brother said, wolves have never dominated the mountains and forests, but they have never disappeared from the mountains and forests. You've heard of the fight between two tigers, you've heard of tigers and leopards fighting, you've heard of dragons fighting tigers, and even elephants can fight tigers, but when have you ever heard of a tiger fighting a wolf?" he paused and carefully observed everyone's expressions, "Wolves know how to take advantage and avoid disadvantages, and some things are not what they should do, so they will not do that target." But their weight has never been lightened. ”
The scar man took the flask and poured himself another glass, "Listen to the meaning of the brother, the wolves are not incompetent, but indisputable." ”
The black cloak looked at the table with chopsticks while drinking, "To fight or not, it depends on the pattern in this mountain." Fight for what should be argued, why dirty your hands if you shouldn't touch. ”
The young couple seemed to be interested, and the husband touched his chin and pondered the words of the black cloak, "What if the wolf and the tiger have their sights on the same prey?"
The black cloak sneered, "The wolf and the tiger are fundamentally different, how can they fall in love with the same prey? Even if they really bump into each other by chance, the wolf pack is overwhelming, and the tiger may not be the opponent of the wolf." ”
The little lady smiled and nodded, "That's right, there are so many wolves, but there is only one tiger, if you really fight, not to mention that the prey can't get it, I'm afraid it may not be able to get out of it itself." ”
Song Xiao was confused by what they said, and leaned over to Murong Lingfeng and asked softly, "Is the wolf so powerful? Why didn't I see it? The small one, the head wolf is estimated to be half the size of a tiger." ”
It just so happened that no one else spoke at that time, and although Song Xiao's voice was soft, it was also heard clearly by others, and everyone's eyes were focused on their table. Song Xiao was frightened, and he didn't understand what he said wrong.
"Wolves don't easily fight tigers, but they are just two little sheep, and the tigers may not be able to find them. The scar man said coldly, "I don't know where the prey is, and where the fight comes from." ”
Murong Lingfeng put away his index finger and clenched his fist slightly, maintaining the same posture from beginning to end, without saying a word, his expression was indifferent, making it impossible to figure out what she was thinking. Also out of the situation was the young man from before, but the smile on his face was even brighter.
After that, the lobby was quiet again, except for the sound of the shopkeeper's crackling abacus, and no one said anything more.
After the meal, Murong Lingfeng asked the shopkeeper to ask for two upper rooms, and the shopkeeper was helpless, the small inn didn't expect so many people to come, it was already full, and now there is only one room left or the boudoir of the eldest daughter who has married the shopkeeper. Murong Lingfeng glanced at Song Xiao, sighed and agreed.
Although no one has lived in this boudoir for a long time, it is often cleaned and not dirty, and it can be seen that the shopkeeper loves his eldest daughter very much. The girl loves beauty, and there is still the smell of rouge gouache in the room, Murong Lingfeng wrinkled his nose, and felt that the smell was much stronger than that of the previous wind ** person.
She threw the quilt to Song Xiao, asked him to lay on the floor, climbed into bed by herself, and lay down with her clothes closed. Murong Lingfeng counted the hours, thinking about it, otherwise she would hide in the sea domain and get together for the night, speaking of which, she was really not used to talking to others in the same room.
Thinking of this, the little boy was entangled again, how did she endure Yun Mo dividing half of her house and half of her bed during this time?
Murong Lingfeng thought about it, and finally decided to stay here honestly. Everyone in this inn has problems, if Song Xiao is left here, something will definitely happen, and whether he can explain to Song Ye at that time is secondary, his uneasy conscience is what the little boy really doesn't want.
In this way, Murong Lingfeng left a trace of vigilance when he slept. When he was half asleep, he heard the sound of Suo Suo on the side of the bed, Murong Lingfeng immediately sat up and stared at the slightly shaking bed curtain, could it be that Song Xiao was not asleep yet?
The sound of heavy breathing was not at all blocked by the light bed curtain, Murong Lingfeng saw a hand stretched out from the gap next to the bed curtain, and when he opened the curtain, Song Xiao appeared in front of Murong Lingfeng with sweaty sweat and disheveled clothes, his eyes were red, his lips were slightly open, and sweat fell down his cheeks drop by drop, looking at Murong Lingfeng's eyes like a hungry wolf, as if he was going to pounce in the next second.
In fact, he did pounce, and Murong Lingfeng flipped over his head with both hands on the bed board. Song Xiao saw that she was in the air and turned around to catch her, and the two of them chased me and hid in the room and fought.
During the battle, Murong Lingfeng slapped three golden needles on Song Xiao's body, and while he was fixed, the little prince released a few drops of blood from the temples and philtrums on both sides of him, and Song Xiao's eyes finally returned to normal. The red color faded, and Song Xiaochang exhaled, which was relieved.
Murong Lingfeng searched out the unburned agarwood from the corner and roughly understood what was going on. I'm afraid that what they eat will be dispersed. Yiqingsan is colorless and odorless, and it will not react when taken to it, and will only burst out from the body when asking about the aroma of agarwood. Murong Lingfeng couldn't help but glance at Song Xiao, who was prostrating beside the bed, the loss was that she was here without a hundred poisons, and if she changed to a second person, her innocence tonight would be ruined.
Murong Lingfeng didn't have time to think about it, there was already a lot of movement outside the door. She stuffed Song Xiao under the bed and told him not to make a sound, no matter what happened, not to come out, unless someone came to call him.
She ran to the window herself, and jumped out of the window as it was pushed open, leaving only a white shadow.
