21. The important thing is to say things three times

After dozens of internal entanglements, I decided that it was best to stay in room 210, first, the door of the room was facing the stairs leading to the lobby on the first floor, and I could flash anything as soon as possible, and secondly, this room was in the middle of these twenty rooms, far away from Chen Jinnan and Su Daji, and it was safe to live in this room.

After a simple tidying up, I turned around and walked out of the room, down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, and when I got down the stairs, I almost vomited blood - damn it, the old man was still drinking there!

"Uncle, do you really want money for my wine here?" I ran to the old man in three steps and two steps, looked at him and asked.

"Hehehe...... ......The old man glanced at me with a smile, looked up and drank all the wine in the bowl, looking at his posture, he really had a thousand cups of not getting drunk.

I turned my head to look at Li Li who was standing aside, learning from the stingy shopkeepers I had seen in costume dramas, pinching my waist with both hands and shouting loudly: "I said Li Li, you really think that the silver of this Yuelai Inn is blown by the wind, isn't it? I don't think I'm a stingy person, but you can't use my wine to give favors? You just came here today and did this, so how can you manage the ......inn for me in the future?"

"But he's the ...... of the land!" Li Li looked at me silently, and said coldly as soon as I finished speaking.

"I don't care if he is the land lord or the land milk," I glared at Li Li fiercely, "In this upstairs guest room, there are Chen Zonghelmsman of the Heaven and Earth Society and Su Daji, the nine-tailed fox who has brought disaster to the country and the people, don't they still have to act according to the rules? I only know that if you drink my wine, you have to pay for it, and there is no overlord ......meal in the world that you don't need to consume!" I pinched my hands and continued to shout.

"Hehehe...... "Young man, how many jars of wine have I drunk?" Before I could finish speaking, the old man sitting at the wooden table turned his head and looked at me with a smile and asked.

I was stunned for a moment, turned my head and looked at the old man suspiciously, "Altogether...... Twenty altars. ”

"Hehehe......!" the old man chuckled, looked up and drank the wine from the bowl again, and stood up and walked towards the hallway that led to the back on the side of the lobby.

"Oops...... I said, Uncle, why are you going? The back is a forbidden place, and idlers are not allowed to enter!......" Seeing him walk towards the back regardless of it, I got up and chased after him.

The old man's footsteps were not slow, and in the blink of an eye he passed through the corridor and came to the small courtyard behind the inn, the small courtyard behind the inn didn't look very big, it was as square as if it were a small patio, the patio was overgrown with weeds, and on one side of the patio I could faintly see a well covered with turquoise moss, looking at this messy little courtyard I frowned slightly, I really don't know why the big man with a full face didn't even clean here.

"Do you have anything on you?" the old man asked me as he stood still in the patio and looked back.

"Something?" I looked at him suspiciously.

"Yes, is there anything that can be planted?" the old man asked me without replying, as if he knew I was looking at him.

"Uh....... "I reached out and touched my pocket, don't you say it, when I was cleaning up at Boss Liu's place in the morning, I found a plum that I don't know how long it had been put in, and if it was shriveled, Mei Li could feel the plum core hidden inside, I took out my plum and handed it over, "Is this okay?"

The old man took it without looking, looked left and right as if he were looking for something, and walked towards the well with his feet raised.

I followed him with a puzzled face, and I saw him walk to the well, bend down and put the plum into a small earthen pit, and then casually pulled up the roller that was set on the well, and in the blink of an eye, he drew a bucket of water, and splashed it into the small earthen pit without saying a word.

Damn, this old man thinks this small yard is not dilapidated enough, and wants to add some water to ferment it again.

"Hey, I said uncle, ...... you?"

"Shh......h

Before I could finish my sentence, the old man turned around and made a silent gesture towards me, and I looked at him with a blank expression.

Almost at the same time as I was stunned, I noticed that the small dirt pit behind the old man seemed to shake slightly, I looked at the little dirt pit strangely, and before I could see what was going on, I felt a slight tremor under my feet, and a small emerald green seedling broke through the ground.

The small seedlings that had come out of the pit grew rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in the blink of an eye, they grew into a small tree, and the trunk that was originally as thick as a little finger instantly grew as thick as an adult's wrist, and as the branches and leaves gradually turned green, a large tree appeared in this small patio so abruptly.

"Big ...... Uncle...... , the tree...... You planted ......?" I asked hesitantly as I looked at the big tree in front of me that had grown in an instant.

"Hehehe...... Didn't you see them all?" the old man asked, looking at me with a smile.

"But that's ...... Too fast, isn'......?" I continued to stare at the big tree in front of me, and slowly stepped forward to reach for the thick trunk.

The rough trunk is carved with deep ravines, and the layers of dense leaves growing on the branches are just right to cover the afternoon sun, which makes people feel a little indescribable shade and comfort, but while I am caressing the trunk, the big tree is still growing, the flowers are blooming, and in the blink of an eye, emerald green plums grow among the lush leaves.

"Uncle...... , the tree...... It's the tree I just gave you...... Planted?" I asked, turning my head to look at the old man behind me, with deep doubts.

The old man gently stroked the sparse gray beard on his chin, smiled and nodded with an unfathomable smile.

"But...... But...... I remember that the plum is cooked, can a boiled seed grow into a tree?" I continued to look at him suspiciously.

The old man was stunned when he heard this, and looked at the plum tree in front of him with a panicked expression.

Hey, hey, hey...... I'll admit I'm teasing him, how could that plum be cooked? I just want to see how he reacts.

The old man retracted the smile on the corner of his mouth, took a few steps forward and looked at the big tree in front of him very seriously, and after a while, he said slowly as if talking to himself: "As far as the old man knows, this plum tree will definitely not be planted with boiled seeds, and the boiled seeds will not be able to germinate, and the plum kernel you gave to the old man is undoubtedly alive." ”

Hey, this old man still knows what a living body is!

The old man turned his head to look at me, and his two gray eyebrows were slightly twisted together, "Are you lying to me......?" It's that you've been deceived by someone else!"

I was sweating profusely, this old man is quite smart! I looked at him and didn't answer, and shrugged my shoulders indifferently, "Why are you lying to you?" Who made you drink twenty jars of wine from me and still didn't pay for it?

The old man looked at my expression, and immediately understood what I meant, and a smile like a spring breeze once again rose at the corner of his mouth, "Young man, the old man drank twenty jars of wine from you, and this plum tree should be regarded as wine money." After saying that, he turned around and left.

"Hey, I said uncle, are you really the legendary 'land lord'?" Seeing that he was leaving, I hurriedly followed, smiled cautiously, and asked curiously.

"Didn't your fellow tell you, but you didn't believe it!" said the old man slowly, without replying.

"Are you really the Lord of the Land?" I couldn't help but ask again.

"Hehehe...... Precisely. The old man replied.

"Damn, are you really the land lord who is often amused by Sun Monkey?" I couldn't help but ask again.

The old man's footsteps paused, turned his head and looked at me with a slightly angry face, and said, "Young man, if you don't believe it anymore, do you want me to cast a spell to make your Yuelai Inn sink into the ground to prove that I am the Lord of the Land?"

"No, no, no, don't ......!" I waved my hand for a while while listening to his words, if this really angered the land lord, what could he do?

Seeing that I was scared, the old man didn't bother to pay any more attention to me, turned around and continued to walk towards the lobby.

I followed behind him with a stupid face, and said softly with a smile: "Don't people say important things three times? You are the lord of the land, don't you let me ask more times if you say such an important thing......!"
