Liu Shi thought that the witch master was not a local. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Shopkeeper, I don't know where the witch is from?" Liu Shi took the opportunity to ask, "Aren't you locals?" ”

He originally thought that Wu Qi was a local, and it was understandable that he was so revered, after all, the culture and education of the wild land were backward, and when encountering natural disasters, people would subconsciously pray to rely on the gods for peace of mind.

The rise of witchcraft is not necessarily impossible.

But listening to the shopkeeper, this witch is a foreigner.

You must know that the barbarians are extremely xenophobic, and the successive magistrates are often unable to show their ambitions because of this.

It is incredible that this witch lord can convince them so much.

When the shopkeeper heard this, he immediately increased his forehead with both hands, and replied with a face full of piety: "A man of God like Lord Wujin naturally comes from where he should come from, and where is what ordinary people like me can figure out!" ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper was so pious, Liu knew that he couldn't ask anything, so he had to give up and asked about the customs of Honghe County instead.

"Poor countryside and rough folk customs, this place is not incomparable with the Central Plains." The shopkeeper shook his head, his face was full of longing for his hometown, paused, and said with a smile, "It's unfortunate that you have come, the New Year has passed, otherwise, you can have a lively time." But don't worry, wait until next Juneteenth, it's also very lively! ”

Liu Shi nodded and waited for the shopkeeper's next step.

It is rare for the shopkeeper to meet such a diligent and inquisitive guest, and he thought that he would earn the food and clothing in January, and he told it even more dedicatedly.

"Although the mountains and roads here are dangerous and the people are rough and strong, but after living for a long time, you can slowly perceive the benefits." The shopkeeper said with a comfortable face, "Just like me, when I first married my wife and son, because I was a foreigner, I was despised and bullied, and even my family was looked down upon.

But after a long time, they accepted me better than my own brothers! Of course, there are those who are cunning and cunning, but they are only a few. To be honest, I think the border people are sometimes more simple than the local Han people.

Moreover, surrounded by mountains and rivers, the scenery is also good. There are just two places that should not be approached lightly. One is Guanyin Mountain, and the other is the small Qingtan where the witch lord lives. ”

Guanyin Mountain is unapproachable, Liu Zhi knows, because there are bandits above, it is very likely that his life will be lost once he goes; That little Qingtan can't be approached, could it be because it's too sacred to be desecrated?

Liu Zhi had doubts in his heart, so he asked.

"That's just one of them." The shopkeeper said solemnly, "What's more, there is a thousand-year-old python in Xiaoqingtan, which likes to devour human flesh the most!" If it weren't for the pressure of the witch lord over the years, I don't know how many villagers would have to suffer! Even if the witch has boundless power, he must regularly release livestock and give him blood to eat, so that it does not come out and harm humans. ”

When Xiaomei and the others heard this, they couldn't help but get goosebumps, and leaned together, as if they could feel more stable in this way.

Peng Jin remembered many similar things in history, and always felt that this witch lord was taking advantage of the people's fears, fooling them, and taking the opportunity to accumulate wealth and become famous.

Liu Zhi thought more far-reaching, and subconsciously felt that maybe there was a bigger conspiracy behind the witchcraft.

"That's thanks to Lord Witch!" Liu Shi echoed, and asked again, "I don't know, have you ever visited Lord Wuji?" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said with a smile: "How do I know about the county master's affairs." However, every time a new magistrate takes office, Lord Wu has to go to the county government in person, first, to give blessings to the new magistrate, and second, to ask for the life of the people in the county and ask for leniency. ”

Liu saw that the shopkeeper's previous sentence was full of ridicule, and the latter sentence was full of gratitude, frowning slightly, it seems that this witch lord is really a great god who is not easy to move.

If he can wait, he must come to the meeting in person for a while!

As he was talking, the hot meal was served, and Liu Zhi stopped the topic and concentrated on going to the Five Organs Temple.

"I'm afraid that the guest officers won't be used to eating local dishes, so I specially ordered them to make dishes from the Central Plains, I don't know, but it still suits your taste?" The shopkeeper asked with a smile.

This half-Central Plains, half-local mash-up style, of course, is not to their taste.

Liu Zhi nodded, vaguely past, and said with a smile: "Actually, it's not bad to taste the local flavor." ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled and said, "Then everyone wait a while, I'll go to the back and talk to them." ”

With that, the shopkeeper hurried away.

However, when eating local dishes with full expectations, Liu Shi and others wanted to be green.

In this way, it is boiled in water, with a little salt added, and even a few drops of oil can be called a dish.

"How's it going?" The shopkeeper looked forward to it, and said, "I also specially instructed them to make enough food!" Lest you guests don't have enough to eat! ”

couldn't bear to brush the shopkeeper's mind, Liu Zhi nodded reluctantly, and said with a smile: "In this way, it is light and healthy!" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The shopkeeper seemed to have found a bosom friend, and nodded with a smile, "People from the Central Plains come here, and they are generally not used to this." However, it is healthy and harmless to boil and stew it in this way! By the way, there will be steamed bacon in a while, make sure you like it. ”

As soon as Boss An and the others heard that there was meat, the chopsticks that stretched out to the big bowl of boiled vegetables and melons were immediately put back.

They want to eat meat!

They don't want to eat this kind of boiled vegetable melon!

When the steamed bacon was served with bright and fragrant oil, Boss An and the others were about to light up when they saw it.

As soon as the bacon was put on the table, Boss An and the others immediately snatched it up.

Well, it's fragrant!

Very chewy!

Just, why so much salt!

Seeing this, Liu Zhi divided most of the bacon on the table between him and Peng Jin to Boss An and others before moving the chopsticks.

Boss An and the others hurriedly thanked and accepted.

Although it is salty, it is much better than eating boiled vegetable melon!

After a full meal and wine, the group went into their guest rooms to rest.

The shopkeeper asked the kitchen to boil a large pot of boiling water for everyone to freshen up.

After a simple freshening up, Liu Zhi and Peng Jin each changed into clean middle clothes, and took a special bathtub to scrub Nuan Nuan again, and changed into soft and comfortable clothes.

"The conditions are simple, so it's going to be one night." Liu Zhi looked at the "big bed" with a width of more than four feet in the corner of the wall, and comforted him softly.

This inn is much worse than a post house.

However, the post house is specially prepared to receive officials from all walks of life, so it is naturally sloppy.

Peng Jin said with a smile: "Compared with the shopkeeper's words, those who are reluctant to live in the store are already very good!" ”

A family of three got into bed and covered the quilt.
