Chapter 7: The Wilderness Inn
A barren grass, a huge old locust tree, and an inn covering a wide area. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Joy Inn. The inn with the same name has appeared the most throughout the ages, and although the name is not as impressive as "There is an inn", it is one of the most popular places in the middle of nowhere. At this time, it was only due to the Chinese New Year, and there were not many guests in the past. But it also presents a red and festive atmosphere.
But seeing that the inn is hung with red lanterns, pasted with festive couplets, and the ground is covered with traces of firecrackers, you can still feel the atmosphere of the New Year when you come here.
The restaurant is filled with the smell of Chinese New Year's Eve dinner. But the shopkeeper dozed off next to the pillar. The bookkeeper also shook his head with a thin stick in his mouth, closing his eyes and recuperating.
There were only seven or eight people at the meal, sitting at the table in twos and threes. Two strong men in black sat on the table and were munching on hot food. The other two monks, one old and one young, were eating flatbread on the table in the west. There was also a man wearing a straw hat and a strong suit, with a huge straw hat covering most of his face, sitting alone and drinking.
Xu is tired from walking, and the voices of the diners in the store are very low, so the store is not noisy.
Walking into the inn, the most eye-catching thing is the old and young monks, because the head is so bright that it can almost reflect the fire.
The old monk's eyebrows were as long as hair, and he was obviously a high-ranking monk, and he was not arrogant or impatient when he drank and pecked. The young monk looks like a young man, his eyes are like torches, he is strong and strong, he is respectful to the old monk, and he honestly bites the big cake in a small bite.
"Little two! Hurry up and say hello! With a loud shout, Mengyou Heavenly Master and his apprentice Li Tianqi pushed open the door of the store and entered the inn.
Suddenly, he heard a loud voice like a duck from far and near, and the bookkeeper, who was dreaming about the Spring and Autumn Festival, almost didn't fall off the Taishi's chair.
The dozing shopkeeper suddenly woke up with his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he saw the two people who had just walked in the door, and he felt a little annoyed when he saw this person.
"Ouch, isn't this the famous Dream Shadow Heavenly Master?" The shopkeeper's mouth seemed to be respectfully complimentary, but his expression was full of disdain.
"Good food and wine, pick the good ones." Mengyou Heavenly Master sat down at the free table with a grin, and then said to Li Tianqi, "Apprentice, take a look...... Look, it's famous for the teacher, even the second child knows that he is a big name for the teacher, so follow the teacher, that's right. As he sat down, he glanced at the two monks.
"Master's ability." Li Tianqi nodded: "Awesome." ”
"Hurry up." The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master sat on the bench and turned his head to urge the shopkeeper.
"There are so many good wines and good foods." The shopkeeper looked unhappy, slowly paced over, and asked coldly, "Is there any money?" ”
"When did Ben Dao Ye send money?!" The Dream Heavenly Master looked indifferent, "Hurry up, pick it up." You have money. ”
"Go, go, hurry up and raise money. Don't force ......" The shopkeeper was a little impatient, and waved his hand to drive away.
The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master motioned to Li Tianqi.
Li Tianqi hurriedly took out a gold leaf from his arms.
"Wow, sir!" The shopkeeper suddenly had a spring breeze on his face: "Oh, master, may I ask the guest officer, oh, no, Master Mengyou, Heavenly Master, what does Master Dao need?" The small ones will be delivered to you right away. ”
"You...... He ......" Mengyou Heavenly Master wanted to scold a foul word, his eyes rolled, he glanced at Li Tianqi, and closed his mouth, "I picked it, didn't you understand?" I'm so hungry that I croak. ”
Li Tianqi also saw a trace of impatience on the face of the shopkeeper, but he didn't know why the expression on his face suddenly flew from the ground to the sky.
The shopkeeper smiled all over his face: "Okay, second master, please wait." He turned around and left quickly, not forgetting to glance at the gold leaf on the table.
"It's all goods that are open to the eyes of wealth." Dream Shadow Heavenly Master muttered.
"Apprentice, as a teacher, I will start teaching you now, what does it mean to see money and open your eyes......"
Mengyou Heavenly Master began to teach Li Tianqi about human feelings. Li Tianqi kept nodding.
Sure enough, the money is easy to do, and after a while, the shopkeeper served hot and delicious food.
Li Tianqi had never smelled such a fragrance, and he couldn't help but reverie, feeling that he had become a rich person.
"Garlic fried fat sausage, sweet and sour pork ribs, palace fried chicken, pine nut mackerel, ginseng fruit lean meat soup. There is also a pot of Lao Fen wine that you ordered, please use it slowly. The shopkeeper said with a smile to the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master.
"Alright, let's go...... Rest assured, the money is there. "Dream Youtian Master looked at the shopkeeper, a little impatient.
"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded and walked away.
Li Tianqi looked at the table of delicious food and couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
Seeing this, the Dream Shadow Heavenly Master smiled secretly in his heart, "Disciple, haven't you eaten these things?" ”
Li Tianqi: "Master, not only have I never eaten it, but I have never seen it. ”
Mengyou Heavenly Master: "Then you can't thank me for being a teacher?" ”
Li Tianqi smiled: "Master Xie." ”
Dream Shadow Heavenly Master: "Eat." "I sandwiched the fast-flowing oil fat intestine, stuffed it into my mouth and chewed it.
Li Tianqi had never eaten such a delicious meal, and when he met the man in the hat and told him to run, he only took back the package wrapped in the costume, and he was already dizzy with hunger, and when he heard the master's permission, he hurriedly ate it.
"Slow down, slow down." Mengyou Heavenly Master swallowed a mouthful of meat hard, for fear that the meat would be eaten, so he hurriedly picked up the vegetables and drank wine.
"Little two! Add rice! ”
"Hey, here we go."
"Little two! Stir-fry two more meats! ”
"Okay!"
"Little two! Add another bowl of rice! ”
“…… Good...... Wait"
"Little Er!"
"Hey......"
"It's okay."
“……”
The shopkeeper was busy around the two. And these two people eat like hungry tigers, which attracts the attention of others.
"How many days have I been hungry?" I don't know who said this, but the voice was immature.
Mengyou Heavenly Master bit a large piece of fish, looked left and right, and thought, which kid can't see the scenery of this Daoist.
The shopkeeper walked up to the bookkeeper and whispered, "Sir, how much silver taels does the Heavenly Master owe us?" ”
Mr. Ledger: "As soon as he entered the door, I counted it again, and these days, he owes one hundred and fifty cents and three cents of gold and silver." plus interest, a total of one hundred and fifty taels of silver. This time, the wine and food are ten taels of silver. Why are you allowing him to eat overlord meals here? ”
"No, sir, this time he has money, enough money." Shopkeeper: "Gold leaf." ”
"Oh, then ......," the bookkeeper touched the goat's whiskers and said with a smile: "Then the principal and interest are enough, and the owner can finally feel at ease." ”
"Hmm." The shopkeeper glanced back at the two of them, "Otherwise, how can I greet him?" Don't discount his legs yet? I really want to beat him up. ”
"Don't do that." The bookkeeper said: "He is in this small town and village within a radius of one hundred and eighty miles, and he still paid us a lot of silver taels. ”
"Yes." Shopkeeper: "This time he has a good life, I don't know where he bumped into a big head, that little baby has gold leaves on his body." ”
Mr. Bookkeeper's eyes widened and he looked at Li Tianqi, "Today is really a creation, a rich young man who just came to a rich family, and now there is a young man who has not dried up but has a lot of money, this year is really a bit abnormal." ”
"What the gentleman said is very true." The shopkeeper said in a low voice.
After burping, the Dream Celestial Master looked around, only to see that the old and young monks were still tasting the flatbread, but the others had also stopped chatting, and the man in the straw hat was serving tea. The shopkeeper went back and forth to clean up the scraps and burn cold.
"Apprentice, are you full?" Dream Shadow Heavenly Master asked.
Li Tianqi touched his bulging belly, "Full...... Finish. ”
"Little two! Checkout. "Dream Shadow Heavenly Master shouted.
"Okay!" The shopkeeper's second-hand feet ran over from afar, "Ten taels of silver." ”
"So expensive?" Li Tianqi, in his impression, a few copper plates are already worth a lot.
"Master Tian, have you settled that old account?" The shopkeeper looked at the Dream Heavenly Master with a hippie smile.
The Dream Heavenly Master glared at him, "Are you really afraid that I will pay my debts?" It's always on the lips, and the knot is it. ...... in vain"
Li Tianqi took out the gold leaf.
The shopkeeper hurriedly picked it up with both hands.
"Go, go, go." The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master quickly took the golden leaf in his hand, weighed it, and then said to the shopkeeper, "Bring a knife." ”
"Do what?"
"This piece of gold leaf can be eaten and drunk here for more than a month, right?"
The shopkeeper suddenly understood, turned around to get a knife and muttered, "Stingy." ”
Mengyou Heavenly Master took the knife, cut the golden leaf in half, and gave half to the shopkeeper: "This half piece is enough." Arrange two more rooms, and the rest will be used as a tip. ”
The shopkeeper weighed it for a moment and laughed again, "Okay." But ......"
Dream Shadow Celestial Master: "But what, hurry." ”
Shopkeeper Er: "The upper room is all wrapped." ”
Dream Shadow Heavenly Master: "This node is also so tight? ”
Shopkeeper: "Why don't you see other rooms?" There are still many second and third classes. ”
"Okay, that's it." Dream Shadow Heavenly Master said.
The shopkeeper walked a few steps, and the Dream Heavenly Master stopped: "Little Er, since you didn't go to the room, remember to pick out a little gold leaf and come back." ”
"Got it."
The shopkeeper muttered to himself as he walked, "It's really slamming the door." ”
After the shopkeeper left, Mengyou Heavenly Master said to Li Tianqi: "Look, apprentice, if you come out to walk the rivers and lakes, you will suffer if you are not careful, there are such people everywhere who see money and have an eye for money." Fortunately, you met me, your master, so shrewd. After that, he put the other half of the gold leaf in his arms, "This half of the gold leaf should be kept by the teacher." ”
The man in the straw hat threw some pieces of silver on the table, lowered the brim of his hat, hurried out of the doorway, and disappeared into the night.
And the two strong men in black slapped the sword on the table and whispered something.
Mengyou Heavenly Master was picking his teeth, stretched his waist, and said to Li Tianqi: "Apprentice, go, rest." ”
Li Tianqi, who had eaten a lot, half-leaned on the edge of the table with his round belly, and slowly stood up on the table when he heard this.
Suddenly......
An elegant sound came from outside the inn, and the merchants who were already about to get up and rest seemed to be immersed in the music that surrounded the beams.
An enticing smell of flowers wafted in through the crack in the doorway.
With that, the two doors were gently pushed open.
Two fair girls holding the qin walked in, one holding the huqin and the other holding the pipa. Followed by a beautiful woman, Yubu style, plump figure stunned many people present.
Although Li Tianqi is still underage, he has also reached the period of hazy feelings for girls. He grew up in a small mountain village, and he couldn't help but be stunned when he had seen such a beautiful woman.
The Dream Shadow Heavenly Master has long coveted it, and I don't know why.
"Indecent. Neither is a good thing. A man who looked like a rich boy in the east corner glared hatefully at the table of Mengyou Heavenly Master and Li Tianqi, and then stood up angrily and walked upstairs. This rich boy's skin is as white as snow, his eyes are shining, and the silk and satin on his body are all first-class products. There were two tall men in black with swords beside him, and the burly figure of the man in black had already blocked the rich son, so everyone didn't notice him. Seeing this, the man in black hurriedly followed upstairs.
The sound of going upstairs made Li Tianqi come back to his senses, and when he looked upstairs, it was the first time he saw that the house actually had a second floor. It just so happened that the rich boy also turned his head to look at the moment he entered the door, and the two glanced at each other, and the rich boy grimaced at Li Tianqi.
The two black-clothed men were guarding the entrance of the second-floor building with knives.
The merchants who stood up didn't know what to do for a while, and they were reluctant to leave, nor did they sit. I had to look at the beautiful woman blankly.
The scent of the beauties fills the store.
The shopkeeper was also a little unable to take a step.
A girl with a pipa in her arms walked in front of the shopkeeper: "Shop, can there be a private room?" ”
The shopkeeper was still a little dazed.
Pipa Girl: "Hey, shopkeeper. ”
"Oh," said the shopkeeper, "what does the girl command?" ”
Pipa Girl: "Is there a private room?" ”
Shopkeeper Er: "The private room was all taken care of by the boy who went upstairs." ”
Pipa Girl: "All inclusive?" ”
Shopkeeper: "Yes, he originally wanted to cover the whole store, but the price was too high, of course we were willing." However, these dozens of miles of ground, and our inn, the other guests are noisy, we have to talk about it, he reluctantly agreed, but he also reserved all the private rooms on the second floor. ”
Pipa Maiden: "Don't have any other better rooms?" ”
The shopkeeper glanced at the beautiful woman again, and swallowed his saliva: "There is really no more, there are second- and third-class ones." ”
The beautiful woman lightly opened her jade lips: "Qing'er, forget it, the second-class room is also fine." ”
Qing'er: "Yes. ”
Qing'er said to the shopkeeper: "Then arrange three second-class suites next to each other." ”
Shopkeeper: "Okay." Please follow me. ”
The three beauties followed the shopkeeper to the direction of the second-class room and disappeared from everyone's sight.
The merchants were red-faced, and then they relieved their breath and dispersed one after another.
I don't know when, the big and small monks have disappeared.
Mengyou Heavenly Master: "Apprentice, let's go and rest too, we have to hurry tomorrow." ”
"Yes, Master." Li Tianqi should arrive.
"This woman should only be in heaven, how many times can I smell it in the world." The bookkeeper sniffed the remaining aroma and sighed.
