445 Sudden Encounter
Having said that, everyone couldn't help but think about it, after all, it was not pleasant to be puzzled, but everyone thought about it until dark, and there was still no satisfactory result. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info[η^ζ^δΉ¦εΊ][]. [774] [buy]. Standing on a hill and looking at a small market in the col in front of him, Du Qi chuckled casually, "I wonder if anyone is waiting for us there, are you interested in going and seeing?" β
Ma Yuxiao said: "Since saying goodbye to the shopkeeper of Nafeng, we not only changed the direction, but also accelerated the speed, this afternoon almost a day and a half of the distance, should have already been out of the scope of the person's arrangement, plus we are extremely cautious along the way, it is difficult for others to follow, even if someone can follow us, they can only follow us, it is impossible to run to us in front of us to make a pre-arrangement to wait for us." β
Lu Miao'er said: "This is very difficult to say, from what the shopkeeper Feng said, it is not difficult to know that the person is determined to entertain us, from now on, three meals a day and accommodation at night should be all missing, if no one greets us tonight, maybe we will have to wait here for a day or two." β
Ma Yuxiao said dejectedly: "In that case, then what else are we going to run?" β
Lu Miao'er said with a smile: "Childe did this just to test that person's ability and sincerity." β
Most of the congregations looked at Du Qi suspiciously, and Du Qi smiled: "I, like everyone, also want to find out what happened to this matter, we walked a little more in the afternoon, just to see if that person is worthy of our help." β
Ma Yuxiao said: "In that case, then why don't you hurry up and give the order, what are you doing here?" β
Du Qi said: "Okay, let's go to the inn in that town tonight to rest and go!" β
Ma Yuxiao muttered as he walked: "The strange things in these years are really endless, I'm afraid that this is okay, but I'm still afraid that someone will invite us to dinner?" β
Lu Miaoer smiled: "Is Sister Xiao hungry?" β
Ma Yuxiao said: "After running all afternoon, how can I digest that little meal at noon?" It's no wonder you're not hungry. β
Lu Miaoer said suddenly: "No wonder Sister Xiao is worried about missing someone else's invitation. β
Ma Yuxiao said: "What do you say? Who is bothered by missing someone to eat? I just don't think we need to make such a fuss. β
Lu Miaoer said: "This is not a trivial matter, but a cautious approach. β
Duche laughed, "What is prudent? I just do it casually, it is best to get rid of this matter, if I really can't get rid of it, then there is no way to do it, who told me to be born with a miserable life, and I can't be idle wherever I go. β
Lu Miaoer said with a smile: "Childe is surrounded by pearls and emeralds, I don't know how many romantic and handsome people I envy, if Childe is still called hard, then there will be no one with a good life in the world." β
Du Qi sighed: "You don't know the bitterness in my heart, how can I have the scenery you think?" Alas! β
Lu Miaoer smiled: "Childe will make the sisters feel cold when he says this, so be careful next time." β
Ma Yuxiao smiled: "Do you think everyone is as small as you?" No matter what Childe says, the sisters won't have any complaints, will they, sisters? β
Along the way, the girls often laughed at Du Qi, and Du Qi also replied with a sentence or two from time to time, and they all laughed when they were embarrassed, and never minded each other, so the women did not take Du Qi, Lu Miaoer and Ma Yuxiao's words as their intentions, but just smiled at each other, but Ke Ling looked at Lu Miaoer a little strangely, obviously she didn't know that Lu Miaoer was also a woman.
It was dark between the conversations, but fortunately everyone had entered the market, many residents had lit up the lights in their homes, and there were occasional pedestrians walking by in twos and threes on the street, but no one came to greet them, it seemed that their hard work in the afternoon was not in vain, and they had gotten rid of the man's entanglement, and everyone was happy but also a little worried, thinking that the man had tried his best to please them, nothing more than asking them to help solve the problem, if that person's martial arts cultivation was not high, or he was simply an ordinary person, then he might never be able to find them again, How can his troubles be solved? It seems that you must wait here for a day or two to be at ease according to what Lu Miaoer said.
This town is not big, only a narrow street, standing at one end of the street can see the whole town at a glance, everyone is about to walk into the only inn in the town, a forty-year-old man dressed like a merchant hurriedly rushed out of the inn to look in the direction of Du Qi and others, suddenly saw Du Qi and others, the man's expression couldn't help but relax, and he hurriedly smiled and greeted Du Qi and others politely: "The small one is the shopkeeper of this inn, my surname is Zhao, and my name is Dongshan, I don't know that the guest officers have arrived so soon, Greeting late, I hope that all the guest officers will be generous to Haihan, please come in quickly! As he spoke, Zhao Dongshan turned sideways and led the way.
Seeing this, everyone couldn't help but look at each other, seeing the situation, Shopkeeper Zhao didn't know that they were coming here in advance, but only learned the information when they were about to enter the town, so it can be seen that it is not easy to entertain them, but his sincerity is commendable, at this time, everyone can't think about it, so they can only follow Zhao Dongshan into the inn.
Zhao Dongshan led everyone through the lobby of the small inn and came to the dining hall next door, and said with a smile while beckoning everyone to take a seat: "There are few guests in the small place, and the guest room has not been used for a long time, and it is now being cleaned up. After speaking, Zhao Dongshan confessed again before hurriing away.
Everyone saw that there were only seven or eight old Eight Immortal tables in this dining hall, thinking that it was the only restaurant in this market, and the layout should be integrated with the inn, the wooden tables and stools were faintly wet, but they were clean, and there was a muddy smell in the house, which was obviously just sprinkled and swept, and there was a burst of ping-pong sound in the kitchen behind, thinking that the dishes were being renovated, so it can be seen that Zhao Dongshan should be unprepared, when he had just learned the news.
After waiting for a long time, Zhao Dongshan led someone to bring tea, but this tea was bitter and unpleasant, and it should be the tea that Zhao Dongshan prepared for daily hospitality. It may be that the manpower is a little nervous, and Zhao Dongshan is busy again after confessing.
After waiting for more than an hour, the wine and dishes were sent to the table one after another, the wine is a self-brewed sorghum wine, the taste is not bad, although the dishes are mountain and wild dishes, they are also delicate and delicious, showing that the cooks are extremely attentive.
Zhao Dongshan led the two attendants to the side, pouring wine and cloth dishes for everyone, without mentioning why he entertained everyone so much, and Du Qi and the others were inconvenient to ask, just careless about eating. The wine and dinner have ended, Zhao Dongshan said respectfully: "Please go to the guest room to rest, but the place is small and crude, and I hope you will not be strange." β
After careful cleaning, but there was still a faint musty smell in the guest room, the next day after a hearty breakfast when the resignation mentioned the cost, Zhao Dongshan even said that he did not dare to charge any fees, saying that last night when it was dark, someone sent him money to make sure he was attentive to Du Qi and others.
Du Qi and the others had already made up their minds in their hearts, and they were not strong, and after saying goodbye to Zhao Dongshan, they turned to the road slowly, and when they passed through Changqiao Town at noon, as everyone expected, they saw that there were already two people waiting for them at the corner of the street.
When the two saw Du Qi and the others, they hurriedly greeted them happily, and bowed deeply to Du Qi and the others, and one of them said respectfully: "The little one is the guy from Juying Building, who is here to greet the guest officers on the order of the shopkeeper, and invite the guest officers to the building to drink a glass of water and wine, and then go after a short rest." β
Knowing that he couldn't excuse himself, Ren Dongming said: "I'm about to bother, please ask the second brother to lead the way!" β
The two men were overjoyed, and they still spoke the same way before: "Invite the guests to come with the little ones!" With that, the two men hurriedly turned around and led the way.
The town is located between the Whirlpool River and the Yinghe River, and the Xiangshui River, a tributary of the upper reaches of the Yinghe River, passes through the town, and a long pontoon bridge connects the east and west halves into a whole, hence the name of the town.
This Changqiao town is a south-to-north, east-west traffic place, the town is prosperous, the restaurant shops are numerous, Juyinglou is the most famous restaurant in the town, Du Qi and others naturally received the most warm hospitality.
When they were full of food and drink, the man told him that he had paid all the expenses, and everyone knew that this was the inevitable end, and he asked the man to settle the bill only for fear that if the estimate was wrong, people would mistakenly think that they were eating nothing. Du Qi ordered the man to call the shopkeeper of the restaurant and asked, "What is the name of the shopkeeper?" β
The shopkeeper was born with a dough dough and a blessed appearance, not tall, about forty-four or five years old, seeing that people did not like to show a three-point smile, an authentic local merchant, at this time heard Du Qi's question, and hurriedly piled up a smile on his face and said: "There is a young man Lao who asked, the little surname is Chen, called Chen Lianggui, I don't know what the prince and the guest officials have to order?" β
Du Qi said: "I see that this place is surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is beautiful, and I am going to stay here for a few more days, so I hereby inform the shopkeeper Chen to prepare three meals a day for us according to today's standards, and find a comfortable inn." β
Chen Lianggui couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, his face showed surprise, and he said curtly: "Yes, yes, the small one must do his best, the small Yuelai Inn is barely passable, I don't know if the guest officer is willing to give in, it's just, it's just ......."
Du Qi saw that Chen Lianggui rubbed his hands for a long time and didn't just come out of nowhere, so he couldn't help but smile and said: "Shopkeeper Chen has something to say, even if he says it bluntly, don't be embarrassed." β
Chen Lianggui stood there rubbing his hands vigorously, and still didn't say a reason in the middle of his mouth, Lu Miaoer smiled: "Is Shopkeeper Chen worried that we will be short of the required expenses?" β
Chen Lianggui hurriedly smiled and said: "It's good that the guest officer understands, hehe, the person who settled the bill at noon today has gone, and in the future, I have to ask the guest officers to settle the bill by themselves, so the little one has to remind the guest officers in advance, hehe." β
Du Qi said: "Shopkeeper Chen just rest assured that we will not miss you at that time." β
Chen Lianggui said happily: "The little ones will be arranged, and the sons and ladies will be invited to the inn to rest." β
The room of Yuelai Inn is spacious and bright, the conditions are many times stronger than the place where they lived last night, everyone gathered in one room did not feel crowded at all, Ma Yuxiao said: "This place is not bad, the price must be expensive, how long is the son going to live here?" β
Du Qi said: "It depends on when the warm-hearted person appears." β
Ma Yuxiao said: "That man must have rushed to the front, how can we wait for him here?" If he doesn't come, will we keep waiting? β
Lu Miao'er said with a smile: "Although Sister Xiao is relieved, although that person has not yet appeared, his heart must be more anxious than ours, if nothing else, he will definitely find him tomorrow afternoon." β
Du Qi smiled, "Maybe this matter can be settled this afternoon?" β
Ma Yuxiao said in disbelief: "It won't be so fast." β
Du Qi smiled: "Will it be so soon, we will see when we know, let's go and rest for a while." β
Suddenly, Ke Ling's face changed, but it only returned to normal for a moment, but she still said a little angrily: "Strange, why is he here?" What about the others, is this their conspiracy? Hum! β
Ke Ling's words didn't fall, only to hear a little two knock on the door and shout: "Guest officer, there is an uncle surnamed Qi who asks to see you." β
Obviously, this person surnamed Qi must be the one who secretly entertained them, and everyone couldn't help but secretly praise Du Qi for being like a god, thinking that he would meet that person immediately, but Du Qi did not respond to Xiao Er's words in time, but asked Ke Ling: "Tiehua, can you see him?" β
Ke Ling's face changed several times, and she said firmly: "Everything depends on the son, and Tiehua will never complain!" β
Du Qi said: "It's good to meet him, and see what tricks they are playing, so as not to leave any regrets." β
Seeing that Ke Ling nodded slightly, Du Qicai raised his voice and said, "Please!" Hearing this, the crowd consciously retreated to Dooch's side, vacating the center of the room for Dooch to receive him. The person who came pushed the door in response, and everyone was surprised to see it, it turned out that the person was actually Qi Lao Er, who chased and killed Ke Ling a few days ago.
Qi Lao Er came to the door, glanced at the people in the room, and suddenly knelt down in front of Du Qi with a "plop", and said sadly: "Qi Lianshan took the liberty to visit, please save people's lives with great benevolence and righteousness!" β
Du Qi said: "Qi Daxia doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly, please sit!" β
Seeing that Du Qi did not answer his request clearly, Qi Lianshan turned to Ke Ling again and said: "Tiehua girl, you know our brother's character, this time it is purely to repay the favor that you have to go against the girl, please be merciful and persuade the young man to save our boss, this kindness and virtue are unforgettable!" β
Ke Ling said angrily: "You still have the face to beg me? Thinking of what you have done, I want to pull your tendons and skin you, and how can I help you to intercede to save my enemies? β
Qi Lianshan kowtowed and said: "Tiehua girl, we know that the crime is extremely evil, as long as Tiehua girl agrees to ask Shaoxia for alms and antidote to save Boss Wu, Qi will let Tiehua girl deal with it without complaining, and they will never find trouble with Tiehua girl in the future!" As he spoke, Qi Lianshan quickly untied the saber, the handle of the knife was forward, and the blade was raised backwards and presented to Ke Ling, obviously wanting to exchange his life for the antidote to save Boss Wu.
