After catching the broken silver, the dirty old man immediately smiled: "Little brother, if you need anything, just give orders, the pier on the bank of this ancient bridge is where the old man and I live, contact me at any time, oh no, you must contact, the sooner the better!" ”

The old man clutched the silver tightly and left quickly.

"Hey! It's that crazy old man who calls himself a Taoist priest again! The passers-by immediately whispered.

"Yes, this old man specializes in cheating and cheating, once he is targeted, it will be endless, unless he leaves the area of the Wind and Rain Bridge!"

Ye Xun smiled slightly, this silver tael is useless to him, and a few days ago, he also brought some from his brother Ye Cheng for precaution, but he didn't expect it to be used to give alms to beggars.

So, another day passed, Ye Xun came to a restaurant at noon on this day, this restaurant is much more upscale than the restaurant on the street a few days ago, this restaurant is also relatively close to the wind and rain bridge, called "wind and rain restaurant", this restaurant is very large, although there are only three floors, but after entering the gate there is another cave, what appeared in front of Ye Xun's eyes is another scene, this is a hexagram, a platform is built in the courtyard, this platform is like a wide flower hub, occupying most of the area in the courtyard, there is a floor as high.

At this time, on the flower drum, a woman is playing the guzheng elegantly, and the beautiful sound spreads from the stage like mountains and flowing water.

In the Accord on the upper floor, there are not a few words of admiration and warm applause, although it is the middle of winter, but the restaurant is extraordinarily lively, and the private room Accord on the third floor is almost full of people.

Under the leadership of the second brother of the restaurant, Ye Xun came to a private room on the second floor, and through the window lattice, he could see all the scenes on the flower hub.

Ye Xun ordered some dishes, plus a pot of hot wine, in fact, Ye Xun is not an alcoholic, but he was born in a martial arts family, and his temperament and hobbies are also very good to inherit the characteristics of his father's generation.

After sitting down, Ye Xuncai slowly looked at the woman on the flower drum, this woman happened to be facing him, the woman's facial features were exquisite, her skin was fair, she was twenty-eight years old, her jet-black hair was coiled into a bun on the top of her head, and a silver phoenix tail jade hairpin was inserted into the bun, which made people look beautiful and natural, especially her gentle playing movements, which showed a sense of detachment.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a commotion downstairs.

"Crazy old man, don't go again, don't blame me for beating the dog stick, look at your bones, I don't embarrass you, go, hurry up, don't disturb the guests' Yaxing!"

"Yikes! What are you talking about, old man, am I the kind of person who cheats and cheats? Someone invited me to the old man today, if it weren't for his pleading, full of sincerity, your shopkeeper invited eight people to carry me in a sedan chair, I wouldn't come, really, get out of the way, get out of the way! ”

"Eight-person sedan chair? Can you afford it? Go out, don't go out, Xiao Zeng will take him out! ”

"Yes! Brother Yun. ”

"Okay, old man, I'll go, I'll go! But if the guests above blame it for a while, it's not something you can afford! ”

When Ye Xun heard this, his eyes were calm, and he could naturally hear the voice, it was the dirty old man on the wind and rain bridge yesterday!

But after another moment, there was another quarrel downstairs.

"You dead old man, do you really give a shame? I still want to sneak in, Xiao Zeng bombarded him out, this time you can watch at the door, don't let him in! ”

"Stranger, it's the old man, I said it was okay on the wind and rain bridge yesterday, and we met here today, didn't you say to go to that Cuihong Courtyard? Hey, outlander! ”

Hearing the loud shouting downstairs, Ye Xun frowned this time, and then smiled bitterly again, he was really targeted by this old man, fortunately, the second brother of the restaurant here stopped him, otherwise Ye Xunxiu wanted to eat well for this meal.

Ye Xun is a monk after all, he can still bear this, but others may not be able to bear it, only to hear the thick voice downstairs roaring: "Damn, it's that bad old man again, I want to be sick to my stomach when I see it, listen to the tune well, let this old man spoil Yaxing!" ”

"What Hong Darttou said is that a few days ago, this crazy old man deceived one of my customers of some silver, which caused my business to almost turn yellow!" Another feminine voice immediately chimed in.

"Xiao Er, knock that crazy old man out, otherwise Hugh will call me Hong Hun to come here in the future!"

"Yes, yes, Hong Darthead, there will never be such a thing in the future, you use it slowly!"

After a few breaths, only the sound of pedaling was heard, and it was obvious that the old man had been blasted out again.

Ye Xun shook his head and continued to appreciate this wine, this wine is warm in the mouth and fragrant in the mouth, it is indeed the best wine, but it is worse than the cellar wine that his grandfather treasured.

Just as Ye Xun was slowly savoring, the voice of the dirty old man came from a distance downstairs: "Hey! What is the Tao? What is Heaven? Dao Tian ...... It's just a day, that's it, Cuihong Courtyard, the lotus girl's poison is difficult to solve, difficult to solve, if you want to bloom and have a baby in this life, it's difficult! ”

Hearing this, Ye Xun was shocked, so he hurriedly got out of the restaurant.

Seeing this, the guests downstairs turned their heads one after another, and even the girl on the flower drum seemed to pause when playing.

"Guest, guest, what are your orders?" The little second brother who led Ye Xun upstairs just now immediately asked in surprise.

"Where's that bad old man just now? Where are you going? ”

Seeing Ye Xun's eager gaze, the little second brother was inexplicably stunned.

"Bad old man? What's bad old man? The little second brother asked blankly, and didn't react for a while.

"Hey!" Rushing out of the doorway, his spiritual sense spread, and after a few breaths, he locked a figure on the edge of the ancient bridge.

I saw the bad old man walking slowly towards the wind and rain bridge, looking east and west along the way, holding a bamboo leaf in his mouth, and kept shouting a little song, seeing the walking woman, he kept nodding, as if he was judging himself, this scene made Ye Xun shake his head after seeing it.

"What's wrong with me? He's just an old man, a mortal, isn't he thinking too much! Ye Xun muttered to himself.

"Guest...... Guest, how fast are you...... It's so fast, I can't catch up! ”

Ye Xun turned around slowly, only to see the little second brother of the Fengyu Restaurant behind him chasing after him, with a rough breath in his mouth, and kept beating his chest.

"Don't worry, little second brother, I still have to eat that dish, I won't pay the bill!" Ye Xun smiled.

"Guest, what are you talking about? At first, the villain thought who you were looking for, but it turned out that he was looking for that crazy old man, so he came to chase you! ”

"What's wrong? Little second brother, do you know this crazy old man? Ye Xun asked in surprise,

"Why don't you know him, the whole Suhuai River knows him, the little one has known him since he was a child, this crazy old man, he cheats all day long, and specializes in deceiving outsiders, so the little one chased after him to remind the guest officer! You don't have to pay attention to him, this crazy old man likes to make up some inexplicable words, don't be deceived! As soon as he talked about the crazy old man, the little second brother immediately gushed out.

Looking at the little second brother, Ye Xun said: "This bad old man is quite strange! ”

"It's not just strange, he recited what Dao Tian all day long, what a Zhang Tian, crazy speech, everyone knows that he has a problem with his head, some people say that he was evil when he was a child, abandoned by his parents, so he fell into such a field today, and I heard someone say that this crazy old man deceived the immortals many years ago, so he was condemned by the sky, and talked nonsense all day long, this old man is here, I am afraid that no one will send him to the end, although this old man is hateful, but he has never heard of stealing, robbery, otherwise he would have been killed."

Hearing this, Ye Xun was noncommittal, but the little second brother became more and more energetic, for fear that Ye Xun would not believe it, and also listed some people who had been deceived by the old man.

Back at Fengyu Restaurant, Ye Xun continued to enjoy the dishes, a beautiful music came from his ears, and his soul seemed to be washed at once, at this moment Ye Xun's mind calmed down, and he no longer thought about the words of the bad old man.

When the night slowly fell, Ye Xun still continued to enjoy the wine and food in the hotel, and the dishes on the table were served again and again, and the guys in the restaurant couldn't say anything, after all, Ye Xun took out real money.

Although Ye Xun is in the restaurant, his spiritual sense covers the area of the wind and rain ancient bridge, especially the pier under the ancient bridge, which is locked by his spiritual sense, and the crazy old man's every move is imprinted in his mind.

In the middle of the night, the bad old man walked out of the pier twice, begged once, bought wine once, and when he returned, he lit a bonfire at the pier, drank a little wine slowly, and finally curled up by the fire and fell asleep, without any other unusual movements.

"Am I too sensitive?" Ye Xun muttered to himself, after paying the remaining silver taels of the Wind and Rain Restaurant, Ye Xun walked to the street, until after the third watch, there were fewer and fewer passers-by, but Ye Xun's spiritual sense was to lock the crazy old man under the bridge pier until dawn.

The sky has just been white, Ye Xun came to the wind and rain under the ancient bridge pier, saw the bad old man curled up by the pier, seemed to be aware of Ye Xun's arrival, the bad old man moved his thin body, but his eyes were not opened, the fire next to him had been extinguished, but the residual temperature in the charcoal ash still existed, and there was a broken bowl with some notches placed next to the fire, a pair of chopsticks stained with gray carbon, and a small gourd that was leaning to the side, obviously this small gourd was usually used to hold wine.

After observing the bad old man so closely, half an hour later, Ye Xun secretly sighed and left.

A few days have passed, Ye Xun's accommodation is almost in the wind and rain restaurant, and the restaurant also treats him as a regular customer, all Ye Xun responds to his requests and is warmly entertained, but the original small amount of silver in his bag is getting less and less, and it can last for two or three days at most, but there are still nearly ten days before Yang Kun's Lao'er investigation deadline.

"I can't say, after three days, I'm going to find a quiet place to vomit, the mortal world, I am already getting farther and farther away from the mortal world!"

Just as Ye Xun was thinking slowly, there was a quarrel downstairs.

"Crazy old man, how dare you come! Believe it or not, I asked Xiao Zeng to throw you into the river and let your bones soak in a cold shower! ”

"It's urgent, it's really urgent, Wei Yun, you get out of the way, that little brother has been waiting for the old man upstairs, you can't afford to be responsible when it's late!"

Hearing this, Ye Xun's eyes were calm, this bad old man has been observing these days, he is indeed a mortal, he comes out to cheat and beg during the day, and buys some wine or begs for some wine to eat and drink at night, but he has not done anything out of the ordinary, nor has he made enemies with others, which is why the people here in Suhuai River can tolerate him.

"Let him come up!" Ye Xun said to the other little second brother who was serving the food beside him, "Let that bad old man come up, plus some roast chicken and a pot of hot wine!" ”

"Guest officer, this, this crazy old man is a liar, you can't take his words seriously, that crazy old man has been bothering you these days, I'm really sorry for you, I'll let people blow him away!"

"No need, bring him up!" Ye Xun said calmly.

Seeing that the little second brother wanted to speak and stopped, Ye Xun continued: "I am also going to leave the Holy City, and when I leave, it can be regarded as a good fate!" ”

The little second brother sighed, shook his head, and went downstairs, and after a while, he only heard the sound of fast footsteps downstairs, and at the same time, there was a sound of dissatisfaction.
