Chapter 770: Inn Stranger
The five ancestors of Qi have lived at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain for generations, making a living by growing herbs. [No pop-ups. Of course, most of the herbs he planted were not valuable, and most of them were used by the countrymen, and they had nothing to do with the medicinal materials used by the secret master to refine the secret medicine.
In addition to running a medicine field, Qi Wu often goes to the wharf by the Xiyu River to sell tea and make some hard-earned money.
On this day, although it is only May, the sun is already hot. On days like these, many people choose to stay at home. However, Qi Wu boiled the boiling water early, put in a kind of herb he had picked, pushed the cart, and headed to the river. In this kind of weather, the coolies by the river like to drink his herbal tea. Because there are herbs in it, it also has the effect of refreshing and fitness.
Passing through the intersection of Peach Blossom Mountain, he saw that the shopkeeper Du who opened the inn was a little listless. His men also looked unhappy on Wednesday's face, muttering something there.
The scenery of Peach Blossom Mountain is good, but it is not a famous spot, and there are few tourists, except for some mountain people, there are no foreign merchants, so there has been no inn and tavern. But some time ago, there were a lot of weirdos here, and they all talked differently from ordinary people. Feng Liu, from the same village, also said that he had seen those people flying in the sky. Whether those people can fly or not, Qi Wu didn't know, but he saw the strangeness of those people in his eyes. They spent a lot of money and paid attention to life, which led to the business of the inn at the foot of Peach Blossom Mountain suddenly prospering. Shopkeeper Du is one of the people who does these people's business.
In the past, Du's shopkeeper often had a smile on his face, and his man Wednesday was also a clever boy who was used to talking. But looking at their appearance today, they have encountered something unhappy. Therefore, Qi Wu did not greet and talk to them as usual, but lowered his head and pushed the cart forward.
"Isn't that Qi Wu? Come back, come back! Qi Wu just wanted to leave, but Shopkeeper Du stopped him.
"Shopkeeper Du, you told me something?"
"Sell me a bowl of tea to quench my thirst!"
"Shopkeeper Du, aren't you amusing me? You run an inn, and you still lack tea? Besides, my herbal tea is worthless, if you are willing to drink it, I will give you a bowl, how can you sell it? ”
"What the hell!" Shopkeeper Du put away the abacus and account book in his hand, and then said, "It's not easy for you to sell tea, I don't need you to send it." On Wednesday, take the money. ”
"Shopkeeper, I'm thirsty, too! Buy two bowls! Wednesday said with a smile.
The shopkeeper Du was so hot that he was sweating, too lazy to speak, waved his hand, and asked Wednesday to pay quickly.
When paying on Wednesday, Qi Wu hurriedly asked, "I said, you have such a big inn, there is no water?" ”
Wednesday said listlessly: "Don't mention it." I don't know what's wrong, I just can't ignite the fire! Even the best firewood can't be lit. It's really evil. And, if you look at the entire inn, there's not even a single person. ”
"Your business has been going well. The main thing is, how can you not light a fire? Why don't you try it with my flint? ”
"It's not about flint. It can be lit elsewhere, but not in my inn. Not to mention the flint, the open flame I got from somewhere else was quickly extinguished when I got here. ”
"What are you muttering? Why don't you hurry up and bring the herbal tea! "Shopkeeper Du, who is usually very kind, is in a bad mood today, and he speaks with anger.
Just as Qi Wu was pushing the cart and about to leave, there were two more weirdos in front of him. One of them, bald and barefoot, short and stocky, resembles an R-ball; The other man had long hair, eyebrows, and beard, but he was thin and thin. The same thing, the fabric worn by the two people looked very good, light and thin, but the faces of both of them were fierce.
Shopkeeper Du hurriedly put down the tea bowl and came over in person to ask: "The two guest officers want to stay in the hotel?" ”
Qi Wu secretly praised the shopkeeper Du: He is worthy of being the shopkeeper, although he was shocked to see the appearance of the two, but the shopkeeper Du was immediately able to go up and speak with a smile on his face, and there was no vision on his face. If it were him, he wouldn't be able to do that. Even now, when he saw these two people, his legs and stomach were trembling.
"Why is there so much nonsense? If the two of us don't live in the store, what will we do in your place! The pudgy man then cursed again and walked in.
"What are you stunned about? Hurry up and say hello! Shopkeeper Du couldn't help but be angry when he saw that Wednesday was still in a daze.
Wednesday was so frightened by the shopkeeper Du's drink that half a bowl of tea shook off the placket of his clothes, and he didn't have time to wipe it, so he quickly let the two weirdos into the house.
"Prepare two upper rooms! Good wine and good food! The thin man threw a piece of silver on the table, and sat down with the stocky man on a table by the window.
Through the window, you can easily see the scenery of the peach blossom fan. However, the new two people, one fat and one thin, had no interest in the scenery outside the window, and began to mumble quietly after sitting down. Whether it was Shopkeeper Du or Wednesday, he couldn't hear the voices of the two when he pricked up his ears.
"Stunned what! Don't hurry up and get ready! The skinny weirdo slapped the table and yelled at Wednesday.
"Yes, yes! Wait a minute, the wine and food will be ready soon! "On Wednesday, I hurriedly went to serve wine and food, and the shopkeeper Du went to check the guest room in person.
After a while, a young man in plain clothes walked into the inn. Seeing that there were no other people in the store except for two customers, he casually found a table and sat on the side.
Ordinary people will be curious about the appearance of the fat and thin weirdos, and they can't help but peek. If you stare straight ahead, you won't be beaten by the two.
The new young man also glanced at it, neither sneakingly, nor cowering, nor staring straight. After reading it, there was neither disgust, nor fear, nor curiosity. It was as if he was walking in the middle of a forest and saw a leaf. Just a glance.
This kind of look does not have any discrimination and harm, but it makes both the fat and thin feel uncomfortable. It's strange to say that the reason why the two of them were uncomfortable was that Chen Feng didn't make them angry, and they couldn't even find a reason to slap the table.
This is a young man who has seen the world. Thinking like this, the fat and thin two weirdos both stared at the young man. Wednesday walked out with a jar of wine, just in time to meet the eyes of the fat secret, only to feel that on this hot day, the whole body was cold, as if he had been stripped naked and thrown into the glacier. Caught off guard, the wine jar in Wednesday's arms fell directly to the ground and shattered, and the red and bright wine inside lay on the ground, and the aroma of wine also filled the room.
Shopkeeper Du, who had just come back, saw this scene and couldn't help but be angry: "On Wednesday, your salary for this month is gone." If you do this again, you will go back to where you came from! With that, he stared at the ground, eager to lie on the ground and drink the unwashed wine.
