Xiaoxi had nothing else to do, so she sat down opposite the visitor, and lay down on the table and looked at him curiously. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The taverns are usually from the town's acquaintances, and even if they do, they are all entertained by the Stone Widow.

"Where are you from? I never seem to have seen you. ”

The young man looked at the stream steadily, like an old acquaintance who had not seen him for a long time, but he did not dare to recognize him for fear of being unfamiliar.

"I'm coming from the far north. ”

"And where are you going?"

"There's nowhere to go, see where you can find a place to do things, just stay there. Do you know that there are hired people to do the work here?"

Xiaoxi thought about it, shook his head at him, and said kindly: "Shimen Town is very small, and the people here are poor. No one has the money to hire someone else to do the work, so you might as well move somewhere else. ”

The young man was embarrassed and said, "I only have a bronze knife on me, and even if I want to go elsewhere, I am not entangled. I don't need a salary, as long as I can take care of the food. ”

The creek is a little puzzled, but nowadays, there are many species, and as long as you can make a fire, anyone can find food in the ordinary wild.

Maybe he's a person who doesn't have much ability, and he's afraid of those fierce beasts outside?

After all, it's not enough to just find something to eat, you have to be lucky to eat it.

Xiaoxi followed the stone widow out a few times, although the stone widow was a master of art and bold, but every time she was frightened by the legendary birds and beasts to scream.

Patting the young man on the shoulder with sympathy, Xiaoxi said, "I can't be the master, you wait for my mother to come back and ask her." ”

"Okay, what's your name? My name is Ji Ran. ”

After the young man finished the introduction, he saw the eyes of the girl opposite, which turned from a curved crescent moon into a large disc.

"You, your name is Ji Ran, I, my name is ......"

Before the brook could finish stammering, there was a hearty shout outside.

"Xixi, dead girl, come out and pick up your wife and me!"

Xiaoxi trembled, didn't care so much, and hurriedly ran out.

The stone widow was lame and was helped by the town's carpenter, Jisang, to the tavern.

Xiaoxi took the stone widow from the other side, and before she could ask, the stone widow scolded and scolded: "What are you grinding and grinding? Dead girl, it took you a long time to come out! I don't know how difficult it is for me to make some money, don't you?"

The creek has experienced a hundred battles, and the first half of the stone widow's sentence is in the left ear and out of the right ear.

When I heard the second half of the sentence, I asked with concern: "Mother, what's wrong with you? Why did you still drop your leg?"

Widow Shi's voice, Jisang didn't dare to let her howl.

Ji Sang took out a golden knife from his bosom, stuffed it into the stone widow's hand, and hurriedly said: "It's me who is not good! I'm sorry! Do you see if this is enough for the wine money I owe? If it is enough, I will leave first, and there is still a lot of work at home." ”

The stone widow refused to take a golden knife, "Where is this enough! You come to drink at least one bowl every day, and bring it back when you leave." At least 12 pots of credit this month, three more than last month!"

The carpenter didn't want to pull with the stone widow again, and he was already a little guilty for letting her fall.

So he took out another golden knife, and stuffed the two of them into the stone widow's hand together, "This is finally enough, right? ”

Only then did the stone widow put away the two golden knives with a smile, looked at the back of the carpenter who had fled from the desert, and said loudly: "You go slowly, welcome to come again when you are free!"

Xiaoxi helped the stone widow to sit down in the lobby and brought her a basin of water to wash her hands first.

She probably fell into the pile of sawdust, and her hands were covered in wood slag.

"Mother, you have to be careful, for this money, where is it worth hurting your body. ”

"Yo, the dead girl still cares about your mother. Without this money, you drink the northwest wind!"

At this time, Widow Stone noticed that there was still a stranger drinking in the store.

The glass was empty, but there was clearly no intention of leaving.

She smiled and said, "Guest, do you want anything else?"

Then he turned to Xiaoxi and said, "Dead girl, why didn't you greet the guests?"

Ji Ran stood up, walked up to the stone widow, and said to her, "Under Ji Ran, can you ask Madame to have a meal?"

The stone widow had inconvenient legs and feet, and she couldn't dodge it if she wanted to, so she had to sigh and ask, "Where are you from, and what can you do for me?"

Ji Ran replied seriously: "I was born in Jiangshui, and I wandered around before, and I could do everything for my wife, such as collecting debts, carrying water, etc. ”

The stone widow was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "I don't have any salary, just eat and live." If you want to stay, if you don't want to leave. ”

Xiaoxi was already smiling when he heard the same conditions as he had proposed before.

Leng Buding was taken off a shoe by the stone widow and smashed on her leg, "Stinky girl, you're in a hurry, aren't you? Don't go cook yet, and don't look at what time it is!"

Xiaoxi picked up the shoes, sent them back to the stone widow and said, "Mother, I'll go and kill the thin fish, and add two more dishes?"

"Go, do you want me to invite you?"

Ever since the Stone Widow had eaten the food cooked by the creek, she had never been in charge of cooking.

The brook nimbly dodged the shoes that the stone widow threw at her a second time and went to clean up the one-eyed fish.

After Ji Ran was allowed to stay, he followed Xiaoxi to the kitchen.

The two of them worked together to make four dishes and one soup, which seemed to be a tacit understanding.

The stone widow ate the food contentedly, drank a little wine by the way, and did not forget to say to Ji Ran: "You really took a big advantage! My dead girl said that she couldn't stand two meals, so she added one more. Uhh

She burped several times in a row, "The food is enough, don't think about the rest, if you want to drink, you will pay for it yourself!"

The stone widow retrieved two golden knives, and the day's task was overfulfilled.

She told Xiaoxi to close the door of the shop, drank enough, and ran back to the house to sleep.

Ji Ran looked at Xiaoxi amusedly, and asked softly, "Your mother, often open a tavern with the door closed like this?"

"When we open and close the door, people who want to drink will come and knock on the door, and people who don't want to drink will not come in when the door is open. ”

It makes sense.

"What are we going to do in the afternoon?"

Xiaoxi glanced at him, "You're asking, what do you need to do in the afternoon?"

She didn't wait for Ji Ran to answer, and then said, "You volunteered to come to work, so the job of filling the water cellar with water will be given to you!"

In the past, the entire cellar was filled, and the stone widow always sneaked around at night, running for more than a dozen nights in a row.

Xiaoxi was afraid that Ji Ran's movements would be too big and would be stared at, so he confessed again: "At most two trips during the day, the others will go after dark." ”

Ji Ran took out a small jade bottle from his arms, "It's only one trip, will you go during the day or at night?"

Xiaoxi knew that there were a lot of strange things here, so he took his jade bottle and looked at it repeatedly, nothing special.

"Whatever you want!" (To be continued.) )
