Chapter 309
The scarred man and the bald head are no different from strange and terrible people, but no matter how weird and terrible they are, they are only two of the many strange people, and few of them are good people sitting here, and the few seemingly ordinary porters have quietly left after eating.
is not a person from the rivers and lakes, if you don't go to the rivers and lakes, the troubled water in front of you, the people who can't afford to provoke have already gone away.
The shopkeeper hid behind the pillar, he also belonged to the people who should go away, but he couldn't go, he could only hide in this inconspicuous place, secretly looking at the strange people in the hall, watching them each say strange things. He silently hoped that these people would finish their meals sooner, and then go on the road early to walk the road they had not finished.
At this moment, a guest at the far table smashed a bowl.
The shopkeeper subconsciously wanted to run over to see the situation, but he just took a step and retracted his legs, because he suddenly remembered that even if someone smashed the store now, he would definitely not come forward to say a word, otherwise his life would be in danger.
He doesn't understand the big truth, but he still understands a little bit of it. The more dangerous it is, the more he can't provoke right and wrong, and he must take care of his own well-being before caring about external affairs.
Whether it is selfishness to say that "only caring for oneself and not caring about others", or whether it is cowardice and fear, in short, as much ability as possible, you can do as much as you can, and if you don't have ability, you naturally can't do what you can't do.
The shopkeeper hid back again, he was determined, no matter what happened outside, he would never run out again. He even wished that he could become an invisible person at this time, and that no one could see him, and he also hoped that all of them would become invisible, and then he would not be able to see those people.
Just as the shopkeeper was thinking wildly, he suddenly heard a very strange and quiet laugh.
You can still laugh in this situation, and it seems that the person who is laughing must not be a mortal.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but look back.
A pair of sturdy old shoes, a very old but clean cloth coat, and a washed baggage.
It's a weirdo with a wine gourd.
The strange man sat cross-legged at the bottom of the stairs, his head bowed, holding a flask in one hand and a glass in the other, pouring himself a drink, as if no one was around. Although he couldn't see his face clearly, he could tell from his drinking posture that he must be very satisfied at the moment.
I saw him slowly tasting wine, eating and laughing, as if the noise in the room did not disturb his drinking pleasure at all. He was clearly drinking alone, but he seemed to be more drunk than anyone else here.
This man is really eccentric, and there is hardly anyone here who is more strange than him, because no one wants to sit at the bottom of the stairs and drink like he did.
This person's laughter was also very strange, as if he was laughing.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but widen his eyes, who would dare to laugh mockingly at this time? If he is not too capable, he is too bold. But judging from the shape of the man, he neither looked like a person with too much ability, nor did he look like a person with too much courage, but he looked very much like a person with a not very good brain.
No matter what the weirdo was laughing at, the shopkeeper felt that he should remind him.
Thinking like this, the shopkeeper had quietly approached, quietly pushed the strange man, and said very seriously and quietly: "Don't laugh." ”
He reminded him of this out of kindness. Who knew that the strange man didn't even look at the shopkeeper, and continued to eat and laugh, as if he hadn't heard the shopkeeper's words at all, and he didn't feel that he was being pushed.
The rare kindness and kindness were ignored like this, and the shopkeeper's face was a little unbearable, so he stomped his feet angrily, gritted his teeth and said, "Are you deaf?"
At this time, the strange person seemed to hear the voice of the shopkeeper, and replied: "I'm not deaf." ”
It really doesn't look like deafness.
Shopkeeper frowned, "Since you're not deaf, you should be able to hear what I'm saying." ”
The strange man rested the flask on his knee and said with a smile: "Of course I heard what you said, but why shouldn't I laugh?"
The shopkeeper looked around nervously, and said urgently: "If you can understand, don't laugh." ”
The strange man laughed a little louder and said, "Why can't I laugh? Some people are born to cry, some people are born to laugh, and I belong to those who are born to laugh." You don't make me laugh, it's like you don't let me eat, it's just a strong man's difficulty. ”
After saying that, he laughed again.
The shopkeeper was so frightened by his laughter that he was sweating, and jumped up and said, "You, what are you doing! Do you want to cause trouble?"
"Tsk!" the strange man smiled inexplicably, "I laugh at mine, what trouble can I cause?" Although this area is the border between Qianzhu and Nanxia, the soil is still the land of Qianzhu Country, I don't remember that there is a rule in the royal law of Qianzhu Country that no one is allowed to laugh. ”
Of course, Wang Fa doesn't care if you cry or laugh. ”
"Since laughing doesn't violate the king's law, why can't I laugh?"
The shopkeeper looked at the chattering officials at the table with trepidation, and saw that they didn't notice this side at all, so he breathed a sigh of relief and said in a low voice: "Have you seen the people sitting over there?"
The strange man didn't raise his head, "The biggest shelf in the world is the official shelf." They are officials, and they walked in with a shelf, and they couldn't see it if they wanted to. ”
The shopkeeper turned his head to the strange man near him, and said in a low voice: "Since you understand so well, you should know one thing, the people sitting here are the ones you can't provoke." ”
The strange man chuckled indifferently: "If you can't provoke it, you can't afford to provoke it, anyway, I laughed at me, and I didn't provoke them." Since laughing twice is not a violation of the king's law, how can they take care of me?"
"After talking for a long time, you don't understand what I mean, how can I say it to make you understand?" The shopkeeper stared at his eyes and whispered: "Let me say this, if you are not very capable, it is best not to do things that attract attention, because this will bring you a lot of trouble." ”
The strange man smiled, sighed, and sighed helplessly: "I just laughed twice." ”
"It's not okay to laugh. ”
"Why is that?"
"Is there something wrong with your brain?"
"I'm not in my head. The strange man frowned, looking a little unhappy, for it would not be pleasant for anyone to be scolded like this.
The shopkeeper said coldly: "Since there is no problem, why can't you understand what I say?"
The strange man only smiled bitterly, "If you listen to what you say to someone else, you won't be able to understand it." ”
The shopkeeper stomped his feet and simply squatted down, and when he saw the strange man's face clearly, he couldn't say what he wanted to say with his stomach full.
The strange man took two sips of wine slowly, and when he saw that the shopkeeper didn't speak, he couldn't help but raise his head and asked strangely, "Do you like to watch me drink?"
The shopkeeper came back to his senses and sighed, "I finally know." ”
The weirdo tilted his head and asked, "What do you finally know?"
The shopkeeper sighed and said, "I'm so stupid, I actually talked nonsense with you for a long time, and now I finally know why they don't care about you laughing here." ”
When the strange man heard this, he felt strange, and asked with a smile, "Why don't they care?"
This person really likes to laugh so much, and he has been laughing since just now. Although it looks very ordinary, when it laughs, it is not annoying at all. It's not annoying, but it's never likeable, because weird eyes make his smile uncute.
"Because you are blind, because you can't see anything. The shopkeeper sighed, "Because no one will care about you." ”
The weirdo stopped talking, but he was still laughing, very strangely.
The shopkeeper looked at the blind man, and he was indescribably confused.
Although the person in front of him is not good-looking and blind, he loves to laugh more than ordinary people. Perhaps, as he himself said, he was born to be the kind of person who can only laugh.
The shopkeeper was silent for a while, and suddenly said curiously: "Since you are blind, why do you know that I am watching you drink?"
The strange man wiped the wine stains on his mouth, and said with a smile: "Because the blind man's eyes can't see, he is always more sensitive to the gaze of others than ordinary people." ”
The shopkeeper sighed again, then patted his sleeves and stood up, he no longer wanted to talk to a blind man, many people don't like to talk to a blind man.
No wonder this man would sit cross-legged here and drink, because he was blind and he simply couldn't find a place to sit. What's more, this store is overcrowded, and he can only hide in this kind of place to drink with peace of mind.
If he hadn't heard that strange laugh, even the shopkeeper himself wouldn't have been able to see a person sitting here.
But when did this person come in?
The shopkeeper touched his head, but he really couldn't remember when he had seen this person. However, there are so many people who come in to eat and drink, and it is normal for one or two people to come in and out and not remember.
Thinking like this, the shopkeeper smiled reassuringly, and just as he was about to take a step, he was grabbed by his sleeve.
The blind man actually grabbed the sleeve of the shopkeeper with one of his hands.
The shopkeeper looked at the sleeve that was caught, and asked impatiently, "What are you doing?"
The blind man tilted his face and grinned, "Can you help me find a room?"
There is a normal person who always likes to look at a person with a disability with a strange attitude.
The shopkeeper also belongs to this kind of person, and he doesn't have a good impression of this blind man, so he pulled back his sleeve hard, glared at his eyes and said dissatisfiedly: "You can go to the counter over there and ask if you know." ”
The blind man pointed to his eyes and said with a wry smile: "But I am blind, I can't see, there are too many people here, and it is inconvenient for me to touch the past." Didn't you say that the people sitting here are not something that ordinary people can afford to mess with. ”
Helping others is not a bad thing.
Come to think of it, but if you do it, it will make the shopkeeper unwilling.
The shopkeeper continued to stare at and said unhappily, "Then how did you get in?"
The blind man shook his head helplessly, he already felt that the attitude of the shopkeeper was very unfriendly, because he knew that a blind man was welcome to be seen, so he could only smile bitterly: "I'm a blind man, of course I came in by touch." ”
The shopkeeper hugged his arms and said coldly, "Then how did you buy wine?"
The blind man continued to smile bitterly: "Of course I touched the past. ”
The shopkeeper glared fiercely, and said unhappily: "Then why can't you touch the past now?"
The blind man thought for a while, laughed at himself with a bitter face, and muttered: "Little brother, this is just embarrassing me as a blind person, you know it yourself, at this moment, this inn is almost full of people, and I can only drink two sips of wine in peace of mind by hiding here." If you ask me why I can't touch the past now, I can only answer in three words: there are too many people. ”
Although the blind man is blind, he is a blind man who tells the truth.
He was right, this inn was almost full of people, not to mention a blind person, that is, a person who is not blind walking in the middle, it is inevitable that he will bump into one or two people.
The shopkeeper glanced at the blind man with a glance, his expression was still very impatient, he put on a very mean face, and said in a heavy and mean tone: "But I'm very busy, how can I have time to serve you alone?" Everyone here wants a room to go to the counter by themselves to ask, and if you want a room, of course you should go over and ask yourself." ”
He had time to hide here and discuss the topic of "can you laugh" with a blind man, why didn't he have time to find a room for the guests?
After all, I still feel that the person in front of me is just a blind man, and he is a blind man who doesn't look like he is rich.
looked down on the blind and the rich, so the shopkeeper was not very willing to take care of the shabby-dressed blind man in front of him.
The blind man touched his nose with a smile, his mind turned, and he could probably guess why the shopkeeper's attitude was so bad, so he could only smile bitterly, and asked for accommodation with a worried and timid face: "I know that the little brother is very busy, and I really shouldn't be here to disturb the little brother and make trouble for the little brother, but the little brother also saw it, I'm just a blind man, and it's always more difficult for the blind to do things than ordinary people, isn't it?
"Do you dare to come out and run around blindly knowing that you are blind?" said the shopkeeper very harshly, full of discrimination and contempt. He was not originally a rich man, but in front of a person who was poorer than him, he had enough confidence to despise him, "The blind man still wants to live in the hotel, do you know how tight the rooms in the inn are now?
The blind man was stunned, probably not expecting that the shopkeeper would hurt his face so much, but he soon laughed again. He seems to love to laugh, and no matter how harsh and bitter other people's words are, it doesn't seem to hurt his self-esteem.
The blind man smiled brightly, and I don't know if he was really that happy. He laughed as he quickly pulled out a silver ingot from his baggage.
The silver is real, and it is a full ten taels.
The blind man stuffed the silver into the shopkeeper and said with a smile: "I'll stay for two nights, ten taels of silver should be enough." ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the silver, and his heart jumped a little, he was really startled by this ingot of silver. It's not because the silver is very heavy, but he really didn't expect that this blind man, who looks very shabby, actually has silver on him.
It's a pity that ten taels of silver is not much.
The shopkeeper was still very impatient, but when he saw that the blind man had already taken out the silver, and he was still talking to him with a smile, his own attitude changed a little, but he was still a little shelf, raised his eyebrows and said lazily: "I didn't have any malice when I spoke like that just now, but now this inn is indeed full." If you want to find a room, it can be a bit difficult. ”
After hearing this, the blind man took out a silver ingot from the old bag and stuffed it into the shopkeeper, and said with a smile: "I will live in a room alone." ”
The shopkeeper immediately widened his eyes again, and said harshly: "You are a blind man and still want to live in a room? Do you think there is a room for yourself that can be wasted? If it is known that I have prepared a room for you alone, will I be in trouble?"
The blind man took out another ingot of silver, put it in the hand of the shopkeeper, and grinned: "I can always live in one room if I pay for five or six people's rooms, right? ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the three ingots of silver in his hand, this time, his attitude finally changed, only to see him smile and accept the silver, that smile was all over his face, and even his eyes smiled. He politely pulled the blind man up from the ground, and then said with a smile: "In this case, then I will go and ask for you, although we have many guests here, there are also many rooms, and maybe there are one or two vacant items that are possible." ”
I saw him take one ingot, put it in his pocket, and use the other two to open a room for the blind man.
It's a pity for a blind man to stay in a room. But if one person pays for five or six people's houses, and if this transaction is not done, won't the store become a fool?
The blind man is so generous, and the attitude of the shopkeeper towards him has also changed a lot, running before and after serving, for fear that it will make a blind man uncomfortable.
The shopkeeper led the blind man to a guest room on the second floor, and kept talking to the blind man excitedly, as if he was talking to himself. At this time, the blind man's words seemed to become less, and he only responded occasionally, and was not very willing to speak.
The shopkeeper didn't notice the change in the blind man's attitude, because all the guests he received had always treated him with this attitude, and those guests were not willing to deal with him.
But the fact that others ignore him does not affect his hospitality.
As soon as the blind man sat down, he ordered the shopkeeper to fetch him a basin of water for washing his feet.
The shopkeeper's smile gradually condensed at this time, but he still ran downstairs very warmly and politely to wash his feet.
At this time, he knew that he was not serving a blind man, but money, silver.
The shopkeeper was willing to be called, and the blind man was not troublesome, so he just asked someone to bring a basin of foot washing water, and let someone come in with a jar of wine.
The shopkeeper carried the wine jar into the guest room, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The guest officer is really massive!"
Of course, he remembered how much the blind man had drunk today, and he thought that it was impossible for ordinary people to drink like this.
The blind man said triumphantly: "Although I am blind, I drink a lot of wine, if I want to drink, the wine in your store is not enough for me to drink alone." ”
The shopkeeper only thought he was bragging, but he still said with a nice mouth: "We don't have much in the store, just a lot of wine, as long as the guest officer wants to drink, how much he wants." ”
The blind man nodded.
After a few more words, the shopkeeper was about to go out, and when he left, he casually turned off the lights in the room.
Unexpectedly, he had just turned off the lights when he heard the blind man say, "Please light the lamp." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly surprised, looked back at the blind man, and laughed in a low voice: "Guest officer, the lamp is still burning." ”
The blind man straightened his face all of a sudden, and said coldly: "You bullied me for being blind." ”
The shopkeeper was slightly embarrassed, so he had to light the lamp.
It's just a blind man, what are you doing with a lamp?
The blind should not have access to the light.
The shopkeeper said uneasily: "Guest officer, you have to remember to turn off the fire when you are resting, if there is a fire here, it is not a trivial matter." The store is full of big people who live tonight, if you ...... here."
"Alright. The blind man interrupted the shopkeeper unhappily and said angrily: "Do you think I, a blind man, can't even put out a lamp?"
Seeing that the blind man was unhappy, the shopkeeper immediately smiled and said: "Where is it, how dare the little one think like this?" I am just afraid that the guest officer will be inconvenient, since the guest officer said that it is okay, then it is okay, it is a small mouthful. If the guest officer doesn't have any orders, can the little one go? There are many guests here today, and there are many things, no, I still have to bring people foot water. ”
The blind man's face was still displeased, he pointed to the ground in front of the window, and said angrily, "Bring me the lamp and put it here." ”
The shopkeeper had no choice but to comply.
Of course a blind man doesn't need a lamp, but it's not surprising that an eccentric blind man needs a lamp. Moreover, this blind man's strange place is not only this, because he immediately ordered the shopkeeper to do an even stranger thing.
I saw the blind man take off his clothes, and then throw them into the shopkeeper, and said, "Hang my clothes on the window." ”
The shopkeeper looked at the closed window, how to hang this dress?
Seeing that he didn't move, the blind man said coldly: "You open the window, and your clothes can be hung up, don't you understand?"
The shopkeeper glared at the blind man fiercely, a blind man, and it was even more difficult to serve than other guests. Although he was very dissatisfied with the attitude of the blind man, he could only do what he said to the blind man. Because in his eyes, whoever pays more is the uncle, and he just took five taels of silver from others, so of course he should do things for others. However, he really couldn't imagine that this blind man who looked weak and small had such a big temper.
There was a low table in the room that was used to store clothes and luggage, but this blind man wanted to hang his clothes on the window?
Hanging his clothes on the window, the shopkeeper originally wanted to leave quietly like this, but before he could reach the door, he was stopped by the blind man again.
The shopkeeper could only sigh, could only walk back, and said with a smile: "What else does the guest officer command?"
The blind man had already come out of bed, walked up and down the room barefoot, and said, "Go, bring me three sticks of incense." ”
