"A few days ago, my business town suffered a flood that has not been encountered in a century, I think that I Yang someone is not diligent in governing the family, and the town is not effective, and the sky has rained this big water, so as to warn me that I have been idle for more than 30 years as the mayor of the town. Today, Yang is cheeky, please forgive me for the mistakes I have made in the past 30 years, offer the family rations, as a sacrificial gift, with the sincerity of everyone, the sincerity of everyone, I hope to impress the dragon king, pray that the future business town can be smooth, Yang swears here, in the future, I will do my best, the business town, small to the goodwill of the township, as large as the family rules and national law, as long as you knock on the drum in front of the town yamen, I will solve problems for everyone, and fulfill the responsibility of the head of a town. ”

The mayor of the town looked kind, and there was a lot of humility in his words, and before he finished speaking, there were already people below who were unyielding for him, saying that Mayor Yang was kind and worked hard for our business town, and this flood must not be for our mayor.

After the mayor finished speaking, he returned to the seat, and a person behind him came out and introduced the squires and monks present, and finally asked the Taoist named Zhiqing to come out and open the altar, saying that he wanted to go up to the heavens, and then the Taoist chief led a group of flower girls on the boat and went around most of the lake, and the flower girls sprinkled colorful petals into the lake, asking the dragon king to accept the kindness of mortals.

I said to Ah Shu: "The dragons that can walk in the clouds and rain are all in the sea, and the dragons who live in the lake are not enough, or they have made mistakes and been degraded." Scattering flowers into the lake like them won't invite the dragon king. These people don't understand, and it is estimated that the dragon king will not hear their prayers. ”

As soon as I finished speaking, a young man next to me disagreed, saying that we would not move, and that their merchant town was thousands of miles away from the sea, and if they went to the beach to do Dharma work, it was estimated that it would take a year to come and go. This lake is the only lake in the merchant town, according to the old man, the lake is connected to the East China Sea thousands of miles away, and the prayer is written on the petals, and the petals will reach the sea with the underwater undercurrent, and the shrimp soldiers and crabs of the sea dragon king will report to the dragon king when they see it, and the dragon king will definitely receive their heart.

That's when I realized that the petals were written on them. It's just that he said that the lake is connected to the seawater, I don't believe it, and secretly cast a spell to look at the bottom of the lake through the turquoise water, and sure enough, there is no undercurrent at the bottom of the lake, but there are a few fish spirits and mussel essences, and the cultivation is not yet a climate.

I whispered to Ah Shu in Ah Shu's ear, and Ah Shu pinched my nose and said that I was a ghost. I said I'm not a ghost, I'm a demon.

After the ceremony, there is a picnic in the evening, and the people of the town gather at the lake at sunset. It is said to be a feast made with food thrown by the villagers onto the floats. I think, fortunately, there is no waste, otherwise I would have lived up to the sacrifice of those vegetables and poultry.

It was still early, Ah Shu and I asked the fellow where we could live, and the villager looked at our clothes and knew that we were not locals, so he enthusiastically took us to the best inn in the town, "Merchant Inn". In fact, our clothes are all styles from hundreds of years ago, not foreign styles as my fellow villagers think.

As soon as we entered the door of the inn, the shopkeeper came to us and asked, "Are you two playing the top or staying in the hotel?"

"What's a slap?" I asked.

The second brother looked at me and said with a smile: "When I see that the girl is at home, she doesn't go out of the door." To play the tip is to eat, drink, drink tea, take a break and leave, and to stay in the hotel is to book a room in a small shop and sleep overnight. ”

"Oh, then we'll stay at the hotel, and by the way, let's hit the point. "I thought I was learning and using it, but who knew that a sentence made Ah Shu laugh and leaned back.

The shopkeeper explained to me: "Girl, if you live in the hotel, you can also eat and drink tea in our store." ”

My face turned red all of a sudden, and I couldn't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into, Ah Shu laughed enough at this time, and said to Xiao Er: "You go and pick a few delicious things from your store, just eat enough, and have another pot of tea, go." ”

"Okay, you two wait. ”

As soon as the child left, I swung my fist and smashed it at Ah Shu, making him laugh at me and embarrassing me so much. Knowing that I have never been involved in the world, I don't understand these things, and they laugh at me. Ah Shu stopped laughing, but when I hit him, he couldn't help but lie on the table and laugh straight away, and he didn't avoid my fists.

It is estimated that it is a ready-made dish, and it will be served after a while, with four dishes and one soup, which looks quite delicious.

Ah Shu picked up a piece of chopsticks and put it in his mouth, and asked me, "Do you want to taste it?"

Except for the master who brought me a bag of osmanthus cake from the bottom of the mountain, I have never eaten anything in the world, watching Ah Shu eat with relish, I can't help but pick up the chopsticks to clip it like him, but I can't hold it, so angry that I slapped the chopsticks on the table and pinched it directly with my hand.

Ah Shu stopped my hand and said to me, "If you are not used to chopsticks, use a spoon, don't use your hands to grasp them." ”

I asked, "Why?" The big tiger eats with its mouth directly, and I don't see it use chopsticks. ”

"This is the world, and all mortals use chopsticks. As he spoke, he handed him a spoon and put a chopstick on it, "Eat." ”

I looked at the spoon in my hand, "This is much easier to use than chopsticks." Joyfully put it into his mouth, and his tongue was conquered in an instant. This one is better than osmanthus cake!

Seeing me squinting at the taste, Ah Shu asked me, "Is it delicious?"

"Delicious!"

"Try this again. ”

A meal was obviously hungry, but I ate most of it, and even drank the soup. I ate too much, leaning back in a chair with my stomach in my hands, my eyelids fighting.

Ah Shu called the shopkeeper.

Xiao Er: "The guest officer has eaten, the two of you go upstairs to rest, the Tianzi room of our store is the best, and it has been cleaned up for the two of you." ”

Ah Shu asked, "Is there only one room to clean up?"

"yes, you...... Can't you two live together?"

I felt Ah Shu's body stiffen, "Let's prepare two." ”

"Okay, I'll get you ready. After Xiao Er finished speaking, he turned around and went upstairs. My ears were tippy, and I heard Xiao Er muttering: "It turns out that they are not husband and wife, it can be seen that they behave so closely, and neither can brother and sister." ”

Ah Shu sent me back to the room to rest, and then went to another room with Xiao Er. After a while, he came back and fell into my ear to wake me up.

I slept in a daze and asked what was going on. Ah Shu said: "Xiao Er said that he had to pay a deposit. ”

"What is a deposit?"

"We couldn't stay here without a deposit. ”

I sat up and said, "Why?"

"We can't live in vain. ”

"What is a deposit?"

"It's money. ”

"Do we have it?"

"Nope. ”

"What then?"

Ah Shu rubbed my head, "Then it's up to you, don't you know how to spell? ”

"But I don't know what money looks like. ”

"We go downstairs and we don't know if we look at it when someone else pays a deposit. ”

"That's right, it's still a smart book. ”

So the two of us pretended to go to the lobby to drink tea, but in fact we were observing the shopkeeper's checkout and collecting money. I won't say much about the specifics, but it took me half a day to figure out which of the copper coins, silver nuggets, and silver ingots was big and small.

After paying the deposit, I went upstairs with A Shu, intending to raise our spirits, and have enough fun at night, when I walked halfway, the downstairs suddenly became lively, and when I looked back, I saw a woman in pink clothes coming down from the hall, with a curling posture, eyebrows like distant mountains, spring water in my eyes, and a peach blossom face, followed by two little maids and four family members. The shopkeeper was talking to her with a smile.

"It turned out to be the daughter of the innkeeper, and she was so good-looking. I said.

"Hmm. Go and sleep for a while, weren't you sleepy just now?" Ah Shu pushed me back to my room. I always feel that Ah Shu is a gentle man, but sometimes he behaves like a child. He pushed me like this, reminding me of Duanhua.

"Ah Shu. ”

"Huh?"

"I originally had a junior brother who disappeared more than a hundred years ago. Did you say he had the same amnesia as you did, so he couldn't find a home?"

Ah Shu asked me to face him and said, "If you miss him, I will accompany you to him." ”

"Master searched the Six Realms but didn't find it, we ......"

"How do you know if you can't find it yet, don't be discouraged, aren't you still going to accompany me to find my family, aren't you?"

"Well, I'll be with you. Ah Shu hugged me in his arms, his chin against the top of my head, I listened to his heartbeat, and fell asleep unconsciously.
