It didn't take long for Mr. Yu to turn his head back with all the brothers of the dart game, carrying the unconscious Wang Dagui on horseback. Seeing Lao Dao and Qin Chuan, Mr. Yu clasped his head into fists and said: "Dao Chief, please forgive me, the people of the rivers and lakes are used to being frightened." ”

Lao Dao also returned the salute and said: "It's okay, it's okay, even people who have been in the dart game for two years can be internal responses, not to mention strangers like us who have just emerged, walking the rivers and lakes, if you can't have one more heart, I'm afraid you will already be in a position at this moment." ”

Mr. Yu looked at Qin Chuan sullenly, naturally knowing that Qin Chuan was sulking with him, but for children, Mr. Yu was helpless.

Mr. Yu took a breath and said, "Dao Chief, I saw you say that you wanted to look at the palm of the scar-faced old five, and then you said that you were just lying to him, so didn't you already know that he had a problem?"

"No, I'm just guessing!" Lao Dao immediately explained: "I said before that there is a way to solve this miasma, but he did everything possible to stop it as a person in the dart game, in fact, it doesn't matter, just watch out for us, it's normal." But when I was picking snake spirit grass and angelica leaves with the young apprentice, he looked uncertain next to him, and he was ready to take out a knife a few times, but I stared closely, he didn't know my depth, so he didn't dare to do it rashly, and then I saw him not sleeping in the middle of the night, holding a water scoop, and when he shirked in every possible way, he thought it was me, and under a simple speculation, I guessed that he was the inner ghost, and I couldn't imagine that he was really a fluke!

Mr. Yu turned his head and was silent for a long time, sighed and said: "Tonight, the Taoist helped us relieve the miasma, and helped us find out the inner ghost, this is really our benefactor of the Dongfu Dart Bureau, just when we are about to return to Qingzhou City, we are fortunate to return to the city with the Taoist and the little Taoist friends, so the safety of the old Taoist and the little Taoist is the top priority, if there is any danger on the road, it is natural to protect it." Brothers, take advantage of the dark and take the time to rest, and you will be on your way early in the morning. ”

When the brother of the dart bureau heard this, he also replied: "No." After that, everyone scattered and returned to the tent to rest, leaving only Qin Chuan and Lao Dao.

Seeing that there was no one around, Qin Chuan asked Lao Dao: "They have wronged us so much, is that it?"

Lao Dao was perhaps tired, so he yawned and asked, "What if not, a fight?"

Qin Chuan said anxiously: "But they didn't even apologize, this is really too perfunctory, right?"

Lao Dao turned around at this moment, and said as he walked: "The person of this dart game has a straightforward personality, if he is asked to apologize, he must be twisted and pinched, sorry, and Mr. Yu takes his head as the leader of the dart game, it must be for the sake of the brothers of the dart game, be cautious, and there is nothing wrong with it." Moreover, if Mr. Yu apologizes in front of his brothers in the dart game, won't that break his prestige?"

Although he felt that what Lao Dao said made sense, Qin Chuan didn't say a word and didn't know what to say.

Seeing this, Lao Dao also persuaded: "Besides, you are too anxious tonight, and if you are said a few words by that scarface, you will hit him with a stone. ”

Qin Chuan said anxiously: "However, I can't allow others to wronged me, this is really infuriating." ”

Lao Dao continued: "If I hadn't asked for help tonight, I am afraid that it would be difficult for you to solve it, and you would have been mistaken for the person who poisoned you, and then you would really be speechless." If you want to live for a long time in the martial arts rivers and lakes, what is this grievance? Besides, if you don't have the strength to match the scar-faced old five, the first thing that comes to mind is how to protect yourself, instead of hitting a stone with an egg. used to say that he had a three-inch tongue, but now it seems that he is not useful. ”

Hearing Lao Dao's words, Qin Chuan nodded and replied: "Lao Dao is right, this time I was reckless! Hmph, when I learn the secret art of martial arts, it's not too late to go to that scar-faced old five." ”

After saying that, Qin Chuan and Lao Dao returned to the tent, and when they were about to sleep under the quilt, a figure suddenly flashed in, which made Qin Chuan shudder, and quickly asked, "Who?"

Mr. Yu poked his head out and said, "Don't panic, little Taoist friend, it's me." ”

Seeing this, Qin Chuan said with a bad face: "What are you doing here?" I can lie here now, I didn't go out to poison it. ”

Mr. Yu turned his head and heard that he couldn't see his face clearly in the dark, and he was afraid that he was already blushing at the moment. I saw Mr. Yu holding a wine bag on his head and said: "I have already disposed of the snake spirit grass, don't joke with the little Daoyou, it was my fault before, here I will compensate the little Daoyou, No, the self-brewed spirits, take it over and give it to the two of you to taste." ”

Mr. Yu finished his head and handed the wine bag to Qin Chuan.

Hearing that there was wine, Qin Chuan took the wine bag, unscrewed the lid, and couldn't help but say, "Good wine, good wine." "Say goodbye, goo rumb, goo rumb, full of smoothness.

Lao Dao smelled the smell of wine next to him, and his heart was itchy, but he couldn't help but say to Qin Chuan: "Rabbit cub, there are still a few hours before dawn, and you have to hurry tomorrow, don't get drunk, miss Mr. Yu's itinerary." ”

Mr. Yu turned his head to hear this, exited the tent and said: "It's okay, if you are really drunk at that time, I will carry it on my back on a mule, and the little Taoist friend can rest." ”

Qin Chuan took the wine bag, he wanted to rest, but when he heard that there would be mules to ride tomorrow, under the urging of Lao Dao, he took another sip before he slept contentedly.

Only two hours later, the sky was getting brighter, Qin Chuan was woken up by the sound of walking outside, got up but didn't see Lao Dao's figure, hurriedly went out, and found that Lao Dao was talking and laughing with Mr. Yu, and seemed to have forgotten all about last night.

Qin Chuan simply washed up, went to the tent and took out his own salute, took out the iron pot and prepared to cook.

Mr. Yu saw that Qin Chuan had woken up, and hurriedly beckoned the brothers of the dart bureau to send Qin Chuan millet porridge, flatbread and other food.

Qin Chuan didn't shirk either, after drinking a bowl of millet porridge, he added another bowl, and after gobbling it up, he burped contentedly and asked, "Old man Yu, when will we leave." ”

Mr. Yu pointed his head to the mule cart and said, "Wait for the brothers of the dart bureau to get the goods, and there will be about half an hour, and we can set off." ”

Qin Chuan said yes, rested beside him for a while, and then began to organize his bags, put the iron pot back on his back, and tightened the cloth bag, and heard Mr. Yu turn his head and beckon him over.

Mr. Yu brought over with a small mule, ready to give the rope to Qin Chuan.

This little mule is full of gray, only half a waist high, but the four legs are stout, at a glance, you know that you are good at climbing mountains and mountains, carrying heavy loads, so Mr. Yu unloaded the goods with his head, ready to carry Qinchuan, he was physically exhausted in the province, and the trip was delayed.

Mr. Yu turned his head to the side and explained: "This little mule is a Taizhou horse mule, born of a mare and a male donkey, good at walking through the mountains and forests, full of endurance, little Taoist friends, carrying you must be enough." ”

Although Qin Chuan saw that this little mule liked it very much, but after thinking about it, he still forgot it, since the old Taoist said that he traveled to the martial arts rivers and lakes, he couldn't be pampered and complained. Besides, this is not the first time to go to Qingzhou City, although the road is far away, follow Mr. Yu to change his head to a new route, presumably the journey has already gone most of the way, and the group of people walking, I'm afraid it's not so boring.

After thinking about it for a while, Qin Chuan returned the rope and said nonchalantly: "Master, I have a lot of physical strength, I can't use this, you better carry some heavy objects, so as not to delay the time." With that, he tightened his robe and walked forward.

Mr. Yu smiled his head, but he didn't say a word, a whistle sounded, and the horse team behind him also followed with the flag of the dart game.

......

It took a few hours, two hills, and everyone crossed the avenue from the trail to the avenue, and the terrain was gradually opening up, and the brothers of the dart board were already panting, and the mules and horses were sneezing incessantly.

Qin Chuan only realized at this moment that the route into the city was different from the route of ordinary people, saving a lot of time, Qin Chuan secretly wrote down the route, thinking that if he was chased by thieves in the future, he could return to the Taoist temple by changing his path.

Mr. Yu looked at the sky and said: "As long as you pass the hill in front, there will be a place to rest, this place has reached the boundary of Qingzhou, where the dart bureau gathers, the big guy doesn't need to worry, no bandit dares to rob the dart here in broad daylight." ”

Hearing that there was a resting place in front of them, everyone stepped up their steps, urging the mules and horses forward, and sure enough, as Mr. Yu said, over this hill, a wine shop appeared.

When I got closer, I found that this wine shop was built by a few fir tree heads into the ground, covered with linoleum cloth to prevent rain and moisture, and a few small Eight Immortal Tables were placed inside and outside, without too much decoration, only a few wine flags fluttering in the wind, and it was written Tongqing Tavern.

Qin Chuan thought that only in a desolate place could such a humble wine shop be called a tavern.

The convoy tied the mules and horses to the tree, leaving a few brothers of the dart bureau to guard it, and Mr. Yu turned his head to greet the other dart bureaus he knew: "Zhang Jiaotou, look at this goods, you have gone to Huzhou again." ”

"Mr. Yu, it seems that your goods are worth a lot of money, and you have dart money to drink!"

......

Qin Chuan didn't pay attention to the people in the dart bureau, but he felt that his stomach was empty, and he couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw noodles selling in the tavern from a distance, and turned around and asked Lao Dao: "Old Dao, you have enough money on you, my stomach is hungry and thirsty, but I want to eat a good meal." ”

Lao Dao must have been dizzy with hunger, and when he saw the person next to him sneering with noodles and couldn't walk, he pulled Qin Chuan and said: "Even if there are strange goods in the mountains, I can still afford to eat this meal of noodles, if I really think it's too expensive, let's just run." Rabbit cub, go quickly, you can't treat yourself badly today. After Lao Dao finished speaking, he hurriedly squeezed into the crowd with Qin Chuan, and asked the owner of the tavern for two large bowls of noodles.

"Boss, I want beef toppings, wide soup and heavy green. Qin Chuan pointed to the beef in the pot and said. This wide soup is heavy and green, and it is jargon, which means that there are many soups and vegetables, and if you don't know the tavern very well, you won't know so much.

Lao Dao smiled: "Boss, I want a bowl of pig's trotter toppings, heavy noodles and no green." "As the old saying goes, heavy noodles are free of green, that is, multi-faceted, not greens.

Qin Chuan is right to think about it, the old Tao is in the Taoist temple, and he is tired of eating radish greens every day, so he has finally traveled abroad, and he will never eat greens again.

The owner of this tavern was about forty years old, and he was so busy with flour that he couldn't get rid of it, and when he saw Lao Dao and Qin Chuan wearing Taoist robes, he said jokingly: "I can't imagine that the two Taoist masters are so particular about eating." ”

Lao Dao looked at the noodles, couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said: "The two of us have traveled to many places, and we are used to seeing a lot of food, so we know a little about eating. It's just that your noodles, looking not rotten out of the pot, must be strong and delicious, I guess, there must be buckwheat noodles and other things added to it. ”

When the owner of the tavern heard this, he said in amazement: "Dao Chief, you are really a connoisseur, you two go find a place to sit first, and this noodle will be served immediately." ”

Lao Dao and Qin Chuan found a table against the corner, Qin Chuan put down the cloth bag and asked: "Lao Dao, I didn't expect it, you know more about eating than me, the owner of the tavern said it well, you are a connoisseur, and you can see at a glance that buckwheat noodles are added to the noodles." ”

The old man smiled, and pointed to the corner of the room in the tavern, where a woman was making noodles and adding this buckwheat noodles to it.

Qin Chuan looked at the woman's skillful noodles and said in admiration: "Jiang is still old and spicy. ”

Lao Dao patted the dust on his robe, and said to Qin Chuan while sitting precariously: "Watching the six roads and listening to the eight directions, you can talk to the owner of this tavern a few more words, maybe you will reward you with a few more pieces of meat." ”

As soon as the words fell, the owner of the tavern came over with two bowls of noodles in his left and right hands, and went to work after saying a slow word.

Seeing this, Qin Chuan patted the old man's ass again, and whispered beside him: "Don't say it, these two bowls of noodles have a lot more meat." ”

Lao Dao looked at the noodles with oil flowers on them, and before he could open his mouth, the meat was already fragrant, and he hurriedly said to Qin Chuan: "There is nothing in the stomach, hurry up and eat it." ”

At this time, Mr. Yu also came over with a bowl of Yangchun noodles on his head, sat down at this table, and asked: "Dao Chief, you are going to Qingzhou City this time, I don't know why? This monthly market has just passed, I'm afraid you didn't come to drink all the time, right? If I can help, just ask." ”

Lao Dao couldn't open his mouth at the moment gnawing on the pig's trotters, and a lot of oil flowers dripped on his beard, but he still replied because of his feelings: "This trip to Qingzhou City is because the young apprentice likes calligraphy and painting books, and wants to go to Pingyang Fang in Qingzhou City to buy some old books, and by the way, see how this scholar carps and jumps over the dragon gate." ”

Mr. Yu replied: "This Taoist temple is really hard, if you can embark on the official career and climb the temple, it is not a good choice for the little Taoist friends."

Qin Chuan came down all the way, and his good impression of Mr. Yu rebounded slightly, wiped his nose, and replied while eating: "Don't worry about whether I can embark on a career or not, if you really want to express your gratitude, otherwise go and settle the money first, and we will clear it up." ”

Mr. Yu heard it, quickly pulled a few mouthfuls of noodles, drank a mouthful of soup and said: "Wait for our dart bureau to set off, deliver the dart to the owner, and do not accompany the two Taoist chiefs into the city, our Dongfu dart bureau is next to Pingyang Fang in Qingzhou City, if the two Taoist chiefs are tired, you can go to our dart bureau to settle down." With that, Mr. Yu got up and left the checkout.

At this time, a handsome man, about twenty years old, wearing a white silk dress, with a jade pendant hanging from his waist, followed by a group of people, was really magnificent. At this time, he was looking for a place to sit, and when he saw that there were only Qin Chuan and Lao Dao in the corner, his entourage came over and drove away: "Where did the stinky old Dao come from, leave quickly, my son-in-law wants to sit here." ”

The man in white stood by and waited, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

Qin Chuan didn't care who was coming, and said without looking back: "What's the hurry?
