Chapter 45: The Drunkard
Old man Zhao finished collecting the stall, sorted out today's income, put the cloth bag on his shoulders, walked towards the east city gate, and went out of the city.
"Look at this old man, his complexion is not good, there should be some problems. ”
Seeing the smile on Old Man Zhao's face, Xie Wufu hurriedly closed the stall and walked towards the outside of the city, stood beside Chen Long, and began to express his opinion.
"If we go out of the city, if we really encounter demons and monsters, will they find us?"
Chen Long actually didn't have a special understanding of the methods of Yin Si ghosts.
He was useless in looking for Xie, but he also thought that the other party had rich experience in handling cases, and his understanding of the supernatural world was far clearer than his own, so he couldn't hide it well.
There is one more point, that is, if he really encounters Jiang Biluo, he will run for his life, and Xie Wufu can also keep Old Man Zhao safe.
At this time, Jiang Biluo should be outside the northwest city wall, away from the east of the city, just across the river city, if nothing else, suddenly come here, Chen Long should be very safe.
"Be careful, you can't find it. ”
Xie Wufu spoke, obviously the ghosts in this world can also appear during the day, and it will not have much impact on them.
It's just that under the sun in the sky, at noon, when the yang energy is at its heaviest, the mana is a little hindered, but now that it is afternoon, when the sun will set, the ghost will not have the slightest effect.
"Okay!"
It's right to think about it, if the ghost mission is so unreliable, it will be easily discovered by demons and monsters, how can it protect the safety of the people of Jiangcheng.
Along the way, Old Man Zhao's footsteps were very fast, and he came to a small river after a while.
On the edge of the river, it is a fork in the road intersection that is not prosperous, and it is a place where there is no shop in front of the village and behind it, but it is strange here, and in this desolate place, there is a tea stall.
A square table is placed on the flat ground by the river, and a merchant is loaded with tea and tea leaves, which can be regarded as completing the outfit of a tea shop in the wilderness.
Old man Zhao walked over, and came to the tea stall in all directions, Chen Long and Xie Wufu followed closely, and saw that although they were in the wilderness of the tea stall in the wilderness, there were many people, and the three simple little girls were busy in the tea shop, wiping the table, cleaning up the stools, boiling hot water, and so on.
Next to it, there is a middle-aged man, sitting under the tree, not a few meters away from the tea shop, holding a fishing rod, fishing, so not carefree, really a bit of a leisurely fairy feeling.
Hanging Old Man Zhao from afar, Long Chen and Xie Wufu hid in a nearby wood.
After the qi was channeled into the body, Long Chen's ears and eyes increased, and from dozens of meters away, he could also see clearly where Old Man Zhao was, and he had to be able to hear what the other party said.
Old man Zhao was very envious when he saw the middle-aged man fishing under the tree, "Old You, I really envy you for leisurely fishing here." ”
"Where, if you are willing to give up the old face of Jiangcheng, you can be like me. ”
The middle-aged man Lao You smiled at Old Man Zhao, and then looked at the tea shop over there, "Tea girl, come to Longjing Tea in the Two Lakes and West Lake." ”
"Okay!"
The so-called tea girl is the three women in the tea shop, one of whom heard the call of the middle-aged man and happily carried the teapot over.
There is also a beautiful girl, and she also brought a small table and put it in front of the two of them, looking at her expression, with a smile on her face, she is good-looking, and it makes people feel like a spring breeze.
"Sure enough, if Old Man Zhao drinks this tea, it is estimated that it will be over. ”
Xie Wufu rushed out on the side, taking advantage of the fact that the ghosts of the tea stall in front of him had no time to make trouble, and took the lead in punishing the evil on the spot, but was grabbed by Long Chen, "Let's see, what's going on." ”
Yesterday, Old Man Zhao was able to come back safely, although he was full of filth, but there was no danger to his life, and the ghosts who wanted to come to the tea stall in front did not harm him.
"That's a water ghost, as long as you drink that tea, you'll be found as a stand-in. ”
Xie Wufu was a little anxious, feeling that Chen Long didn't know the mystery in it, "That tea is not tea, but water made of water mangweed." ”
"Shui Mang is a poisonous weed, which grows like arrowroot, and the flowers are purple, like lentils, and if a person eats this poisonous weed by mistake, he will die immediately and become a "water mang." This kind of ghost must not be reborn, and there must be a poisoned substitute before it can be reborn. ”
"No hurry, wait a moment. ”
Listening to Xie Wuwu's words, but Chen Long is still not in a hurry, Old Man Zhao came back yesterday, if he wanted not to be harmed, he would have been harmed a long time ago, then he could still come back to Jiangcheng Lao Mian to open a stall.
Of course, he can see the situation in front of him very clearly, how can he not see that the three women and one man in front of him are not human beings.
Especially the appearance of the tea, it is even more black, and it is not a clean tea at first glance, and it makes sense that it is poisonous.
"Ah, you ......"
Xie Wuwu wanted to say something, but seeing that Long Chen looked calm, he also settled down a lot, but he was still afraid that Old Man Zhao would be harmed by the reckless ghost in front of him.
As soon as Chen Long's words fell, the middle-aged ghost in front of him began to make abnormal moves, he secretly poured the tea into the river, and then washed the cup with drinking water, took the clean cup, and looked at the old man Zhao with a smile, "Old Zhao, did you bring it?"
"Brought it. ”
Old man Zhao also laughed, from the inside of the jacket, took out the small wine jug, look at the appearance, it is the famous autumn dew liquor in Jiangcheng, it is autumn, drink autumn deer white, this wine is not to say, the wine taste is quite strong, and there is a little more, although the degree is not high, but it is like autumn, which makes people have endless aftertaste.
"Lao Zhao, you know, I'm just like this. ”
Lao You saw the smile on Old Man Zhao's face when he took out the wine, and he couldn't wait to take the wine bottle, pour in the wine, take a sip first, then take a sip, and then take a sip.
"Look, it should be fine. ”
When Chen Long saw this situation, he was relieved, and finally knew the reason why Old Man Zhao was able to come back safely.
Not to mention, but I met an alcoholic, and the old tour in front of me, looking at it, is a real drunkard.
I don't even want the opportunity to harm people with water and weed, but just to drink that sip.
Of course, it is also possible that the other party feels that he has a deep affection for Old Man Zhao and can't bear to harm him.
"Ah, I didn't expect that Mr. has a clear eye and can see ghost hearts. ”
Xie Wufu was surprised inexplicably, he didn't expect Chen Long's Taoism to be so high, Chen Long smiled, "It's not that the magic eye can see it clearly, but the people's hearts are like this, Old Man Zhao was able to come back yesterday, and there will be no danger today." ”
In front, the old man Zhao and the middle-aged man of the old tour have already drunk, and the two of them are on the shore under the tree, fishing with a fishing rod, and drinking two sips of autumn white.
