Chapter 40: Judging People by Their Appearance
"That's it. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ info" Long Wu suddenly pointed his right hand and said happily.
Jiu Ge looked in the direction of Long Wu's fingers, and saw the four big words "Near the Township and Reverse Journey" came into view, Jiu Ge's heart moved, "Reverse Journey Dreams are frequent, and the spring breeze is intoxicated", inexplicably melancholy arises spontaneously, it has been a few months since he came to this strange place, and he doesn't know how his parents and younger brothers are doing recently.
Walking to the door of the reverse brigade, he heard the sound of someone arguing, Jiu Ge retracted his thoughts and looked at it lightly, only to see some people surrounded in front of the reverse brigade, constantly pointing and pointing, and the two people standing in the middle, one coarse cloth shirt, with a rag on his shoulder, looked like a shop boy, and the other was a wide-sleeved deep coat, with a tall posture, like a gentleman, but this deep coat was slightly old, and the fabric was no longer flat, and even some places had faded and slightly whitened, which was estimated to be from a cold door.
"The small shop is a small business, and I hope to find another place. The shopkeeper's face turned red, looking quite embarrassed.
"Why did you treat your house so well when you first came here?" the man's voice was clear and polite.
"This-" The shopkeeper seemed to be unspeakable, and couldn't help but turn around slightly to look at the house, only to see the shopkeeper behind the counter immediately rolled his eyes, skimmed his face, and the shopkeeper saw this and helplessly turned around and took a deep breath of saliva and said: "As the saying goes, the beauty is delicious, and you are here, this look, some-" The shopkeeper really couldn't go on, shut up and just stood, the shopkeeper of this reverse brigade has always judged people by their appearance, even if they dress up, they are also decent, and they are also exquisite, and now the guest looks ugly, so at the moment when he just wanted to enter the house, he was pushed out by the shopkeeper to prevent the guest from entering the store.
"Oh?" The man didn't seem to be annoyed by the shopkeeper's outspokenness, but chuckled: "I said that I offended your house, but I never thought that your house still has rules for entering the house by appearance, so I ask the shopkeeper to hand over a signboard to explain the conditions for entering the house, so as to facilitate other guests who come on a hike." β
"This-" The shopkeeper heard the words but couldn't answer for a while, thinking to himself that this kind of thing could he be in charge as a young man in the house, and he was embarrassed, but he saw the shopkeeper walk out with a cold face,
"The signboard will be exhibited, so please take care of it. β
"It doesn't matter. The young man didn't seem to have any intention of leaving, and still said gently: "The shopkeeper can be exhibited now, so that I can see the uniqueness of your house." β
"You-" The shopkeeper was speechless for a while, seeing that there were more and more onlookers, the shopkeeper couldn't help but raise a mocking smile: "What's the trouble of this, your honor is hanging here, aren't you embarrassing yourself?"
"Why are you embarrassed?" the man couldn't help but chuckle: "The beauty and ugliness of people are not the words of the shopkeeper alone, for example, the shopkeeper yourself, have you ever gone out to look in the mirror?"
The man's words caused a burst of laughter from the surrounding onlookers, although the man's appearance was ugly, but the shopkeeper's appearance was too rude.
"Presumptuous. The shopkeeper blushed and shouted angrily, "I see that you are purely here to find fault today, come and blast me out with him." β
After that, there were four strong men with five big and three thick men coming out of the reverse brigade, and the man didn't seem to have thought that the shopkeeper would make such a decision, so he couldn't help but say in a deep voice:
"At the feet of kings, you dare to do such evil. β
"Do evil?" The shopkeeper sneered: "It's you who are bad for my business, I have a reason to punish you, next time remember to have a longer memory, and I am embarrassed to show my face with this honor, and I am not afraid of disgusting others." β
The shopkeeper finished speaking, and glanced at a few strong men around him, and those few immediately stepped forward consciously, two raised their hands, two raised their feet, and after a few laughs, they threw the man forward.
Long Wu and Jiu Ge were originally watching the play, and they didn't want the man to be used hard by a few strong men, so they actually flew towards them. Long Wuyi was stunned, but saw that the man had already turned around and was facing them, and the deformed facial features of his face instantly frightened Long Wu, who was hesitating to take over, jumped away.
Jiu Ge was also stunned when he saw this, but he didn't think much about it, and took a step forward to catch the man. In the midst of everyone's exclamations, Jiu Ge held the man steady:
"Are you alright?"
The man seemed to be a little frightened, staring at Jiu Ge for a long time, before squeezing out a smile and bowing and saying, "Gongzi Xie came to the rescue." β
Jiu Ge also replied slightly: "Childe is polite." β
The man smiled again, then stood up straight, turned to the shopkeeper and the others and sneered: "The so-called gold and jade are outside, and the shopkeeper has let me understand it today." β
The shopkeeper saw that someone intervened, and looked at it for a long time, but he couldn't guess the identity of the other party, so the situation was inevitably big, and he just snorted coldly at the man's ridicule, and turned around and entered the house.
Long Wu eased his mood a little at this time, and came over to Jiu Ge with a smile,
"Looks like we're going to have to change ground. β
Jiu Ge nodded, right now, he can only change places to eat.
"Dare to ask the son's name, Xiao Xin is grateful. The young man saluted Jiu Ge again.
Jiu Ge was stunned, careful, so he reported to his family in confusion: "In Xia Jiu, this is Long Wu." β
The man glanced at Long Wu, but he didn't know it, he only smiled and said to Jiu Ge:
"Xiao Xin has read countless people, Brother Xia is the second person who is not moved by the lower face, if Brother Xia does not give up, Xiao Xin is willing to make Brother Xia a friend. β
Jiu Ge looked at him with some curiosity: "The second?"
The man nodded and smiled: "The first one is to give birth to my mother." β
Jiu Ge suddenly, "The parents of the body's hair and skin, this is a congenital gift, we have no choice, but human character is an acquired cultivation, which is also the way of the king to value talents, so the son doesn't have to mind this, Xia Jiu is willing to make you a friend." β
"Brother Xia is really different, and it is a blessing to get acquainted today, the so-called blessing and misfortune depend on each other, which is really interesting. β
Jiu Ge also laughed, seeing that although he was ugly, his words and deeds were hearty and generous, which made people very comfortable.
Long Wu saw that the two of them talked happily with each other, completely forgetting his existence. I also knew in my heart that Fang Cai's unintentional actions were too superficial, to put it bluntly, he was the same as the shopkeeper who judged people by his appearance, and he didn't feel embarrassed to lose his momentum in an instant:
"Seeing that the hour is not early, since we are destined to get together, why don't I wait and find a guest house to eat and chat?"
The man couldn't help but glance at Long Wu, "What Childe said is that it's just that it's really inconvenient to go down, so I'll leave first." β
"Childe stays. Jiu Ge hurriedly called him, she knew what he was worried about, and couldn't help laughing: "Since you have made me a friend, what else is there to be afraid of, besides, most inns still put profit first, and the hometown is only a strange one." β
Long Wu also hurriedly agreed: "Xia Jiu's words are very true, don't worry, even if you are with us and others, if someone dares to interfere, I, Long Wu, will not be the first to spare him." β
Hearing Long Wu's words, Xiao Xin turned his face to him, and said with a calm smile: "Young Master Long is righteous, it is better to be respectful here." β
Long Wu instantly looked at Jiu Ge with a happy face: "Let's go, I still have a good place to go." β
Jiu Ge smiled back a little helplessly, "Then there will be Gongzi Lao Long leading the way." β
This time, the three of them found a smaller faΓ§ade and walked in, this time as Jiu Ge expected, the shopkeeper is well versed in the way of business, and when they saw them enter the store, they did not show the slightest surprise on their faces, but were polite with a smile, and then signaled to the shopkeeper to entertain.
After some previous efforts, Long Wu saw that this Xiao Xin had a little good impression of him, and he was very happy, so he ordered several big dishes in the house in a row, and asked the store to serve the best wine.
Jiu Ge immediately stopped: "The army stipulates that you can't drink alcohol, do you want to go back to confinement?"
Long Wu was stunned, and just thought of this stubble, but he couldn't get in the way, so he couldn't help but ask in a low voice:
"If you don't say no, you can go back, I believe you. β
"I can't trust you. Jiu Ge flatly refused, firstly, because he didn't know how to drink, and secondly, he really didn't want to cause unnecessary trouble.
"What's wrong with me?" Long Wu instantly said dissatisfied, "Are you afraid that I will betray you?"
"Of course not. Jiu Ge said lightly: "I'm afraid that you will betray yourself." β
Long Wuyi was speechless, this Xia Jiu will always be against himself.
At this time, Xiao Xin on the side couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect that the two of them turned out to be military masters, Xiao Xin was clumsy, so he was rude." β
"Brother Xiao Xin laughed, we are just ordinary soldiers, and there is no such thing as a noble or lowly status. Jiu Ge said with a smile.
"As a soldier in the army, when the military regulations are the most important, Long Gongzi does not need to be polite, the good intentions Xiao Xin has received, if Long Gongzi is free another day, Xiao Xin will accompany Gongzi to drink. β
Xiao Xin's words eased Long Wu's mood slightly, and he couldn't help but glance at Jiu Ge and said: "Since Xiao Xin's brothers are considerate, then they will make an appointment another day, and they will not return if they are not drunk." β
"That's nature. Xiao Xin smiled lightly.
The three of them talked and laughed casually, but Long Wu asked first:
"I don't know where Brother Xiao Xin lives?"
Jiu Ge also looked at Xiao Xin curiously, only to see Xiao Xin smile and say:
"There is no fixed place to live, and the four seas are just homes. Saying that, Xiao Xin couldn't help but sigh lightly: "Xiao Xin has been dependent on his mother since he was a child, but his mother was blessed and died of illness two years ago. Since then, Xiao Xin has traveled to various countries in order to seek a career, but his fate is ill-fated, and he was born with such a appearance, even the road to the door was blocked, and today he met the two, which is also a fortunate thing for Xiao Xin, Xiao Xin thanked the two with tea instead of wine. β
Long Wu sighed when he heard it, raised the lamp and drank back, Jiu Ge also raised the lamp, it seems that the way to survive in the troubled times is not easy, and he is also considered a coincidence, and he can still take care of himself, thinking of this, Jiu Ge couldn't help but say: "Childe can be boxed and kicked, if the career can't go through, then it is also a way out to kill the enemy on the battlefield with us." β
Xiao Xin smiled helplessly: "The two of you have also seen it, Xiao Xin is a weak scholar, and he can't even deal with those reckless men, how can he go to the battlefield?"
