Chapter 39: The Price of Excitement
How capable this Qiao Shi is, Liang Rui doesn't know. γFengyun Reading Network. This is the first time Liang Rui has listened to a book. But look at everyone's reaction, there is no chatting, no eating. The shopkeeper and Xiao Er, who were still busy just now, found a place to sit down, and looked at Qiao Shi with longing on their faces.
Clearing his throat, Qiao Shi opened the book. Everyone is everyone, and in just one word, people are substituted into a colorful world. Qiao Shi's storytelling style is hot, and the applause below is continuous. Liang Rui was fascinated by it, and his mouth was dry and he was reluctant to drink a cup of tea.
Nearly an hour later, Qiao Shi collected the book. Everyone applauded, and everyone who sent this storytelling off the stage. The shopkeeper was also in a hurry to help Qiao Shi collect the reward money, these jobs were all done by the shopkeeper, and finally he could open an account with the storyteller.
This time, he received a lot of copper plates, and even Liang Rui gave one copper plate.
"This storytelling is really amazing." Liang Rui's heart was taken up by Qiao Shi, and he was still immersed in the grand scene just described.
After Qiao Shi's book was finished, most of the people dispersed. The eldest brother, who had been chatting with Liang Rui, left the rest of the dishes to Liang Rui and walked out laughing. The night was deeper, and in the end, only Liang Rui was left sitting there.
The shopkeeper cleared the accounts, and cleaned up the tavern with Xiao Er. Now there is no one, and I will get up early in a while. This tavern is a day and night business, and there is no room for sloppiness.
Wiped the table with a rag, and the shopkeeper saw that Liang Rui was staggering, but he was still sitting there.
"Ruizi, what's wrong with you? Trapped like this, why, I was scolded by the master and didn't dare to go back? The shopkeeper and Liang Rui were also familiar, so they naturally made jokes.
Liang Rui was a little confused, and replied in a chaotic manner: "Shopkeeper, I have to stay up all night here, and tomorrow, I have to hurry." β
"Oh? Is there something wrong with you? The shopkeeper asked.
Liang Rui was groggy and drank some more wine. The shopkeeper's questioning made him a little upset, and when he was drunk, he told the truth. Including what his master gave him, as well as the prince's affairs.
These words reached the ears of the shopkeeper, and the shopkeeper's face changed instantly.
The other person is Liang Rui, who has been in the past two years, and knows that Liang Rui has a master in the mountains. But he never expected that his master was actually Ju Siliang, who the imperial court had been looking for.
"Oh oh, that's a good rest." The shopkeeper stepped forward to support Liang Rui and said, "It's important to have a good rest, you will sleep in my room tonight, and my bed in that room is comfortable." β
Liang Rui was half drunk and half awake, and said no, but he was helped by the shopkeeper and entered the shopkeeper's room.
Lay Liang Rui down on the bed and looked around again. The shopkeeper's heart was pounding, and after he came out, he ordered the people in the kitchen to watch Liang Rui at the door, and walked to the front by himself.
In the tavern, Xiao Er was still cleaning up the house, and he had just seen what the shopkeeper had done. When the shopkeeper came back, his face was a little pale.
"Shopkeeper, what's wrong with you? Why is your face so white? Xiao Er saw that the shopkeeper's face was a little bad, and stepped forward to ask.
The shopkeeper's face was slightly happy, and he said, "It's okay, I'm excited." β
"Excited, what is the shopkeeper excited about?" Xiao Er was a little surprised, just now the shopkeeper helped Liang Rui to his bedroom, and now he is excited here, is it possible...
The shopkeeper quickly interrupted Xiao Er's cranky thoughts and said, "Excited, of course excited." You, get out of here now. Find me a government official, and say that the land of Jusiliang is here! β
Without waiting for Xiao Er to hesitate, the shopkeeper hurriedly kicked Xiao Er out.
Find Ju Siliang, the bounty is a thousand taels, such a good thing will never come together in a lifetime. The shopkeeper sat there, his heart beating non-stop, and his hands shaking.
"One thousand taels, one thousand taels. Even if there is a loss, the people in the government will work everywhere, and in the end, there will definitely be five hundred taels left. Five hundred taels, I can open hundreds of such shops! The shopkeeper became more and more excited, and his face became more and more pale. Thinking about it, I just felt like the world was spinning for a while.
Boom!
With a bang, the shopkeeper fell to the ground, his eyes rolling.
This sound alarmed the cook who was watching Liang Rui in the back, and when he heard the strange noise in front, Liang Rui was still sleeping soundly in the room. After thinking for a while, he came to the front of the tavern.
"Shopkeeper!"
When the cook came to the front, he saw the shopkeeper lying on the ground, and he panicked. Hurriedly stepped forward to help the shopkeeper up and beat his chest. The shopkeeper held his breath in his chest, and he couldn't go up or down, and he couldn't see it.
In a panic, the cook suddenly remembered that Liang Rui in the back room said that he was studying medicine on weekdays. Immediately put down the shopkeeper and ran desperately to the back room.
"Reiko! Ruizi! Get up! β
The cook shook for a while, waking Liang Rui up.
Liang Rui rubbed his sleepy eyes and said, "What's wrong?" β
The cook's face was full of anxiety, and he didn't have time to explain to Liang Rui, so he grabbed Liang Rui and ran forward.
"Slow down, slow down, what's the hurry." Liang Rui slept in a daze, and was half-dragged and half-dragged to the front by the cook.
Seeing the shopkeeper who fell to the ground, Liang Rui's drowsiness disappeared most of it at once. stepped forward to hold the shopkeeper and check the pulse. Speaking of which, Liang Rui has been studying medicine with Ju Siliang, but he has never really healed. I originally thought that it was the prince who wanted to be treated for the first time, but I didn't expect to encounter such a thing here.
Touching the pulse and looking for a few X-positions on his body, Liang Rui's hanging heart let go of half. The shopkeeper is not a serious illness, but just because of a moment of excitement. Even if it is not treated, it will be better after a while.
"Prepare some cold water, the cooler the better. Prepare me some more wine, preferably spirits. Liang Rui turned back to the cook and said.
The cook didn't dare to slack off, so he went to prepare the things and handed them to Liang Rui.
"Ruizi, this wine and water are useful?" The cook was a little confused.
Liang Rui smiled, brought a bucket of water, and splashed it directly on the shopkeeper's body.
"Ahh
With a scream, the shopkeeper opened his eyes.
In a hurry, a bucket of cold water went down, and most of the fire was gone. The shopkeeper looked at the scene in front of him and was startled.
"What's going on?" The shopkeeper was still a little dizzy.
Liang Rui didn't say a word, and came over with a bowl of burning knives. This burnt knife is originally a spirit, and the shopkeeper sells wine here to the lowest people, so this burnt knife is also the lowest burnt knife, so strong that it is not good. A bowl full of wine, Liang Rui poured it into the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper felt a little more comfortable, and before he could react, he was poured a bowl of wine. Suddenly he felt that his internal organs were burning, and after not waiting, Liang Rui picked up a bucket of water and splashed it again.
A body of cold water, a fiery chest. Now the shopkeeper really woke up, hurriedly stood up, and looked at Liang Rui with a look in his eyes that was a little wrong.
"What are you, what are you doing?"
The shopkeeper wiped the water from his face, and his chest hurt a little from the burning of the spirits.
