The Stone Ridge Inn is nestled between the mountains.

The entrance of the inn is directly facing a mountain beam, and there is also a mountain beam behind it, which is relatively slow.

The avenue winds out from behind this mountain beam.

"This is Stone Ridge?" the rest of his life glanced at a green hill with forests everywhere, although there were some stones, but the name of Stone Ridge did not match the truth.

"The real stone ridge is in the back, and there are strange mountains and strange rocks everywhere, as the name stone ridge is. Sanmao said.

There is a city behind the stone ridge, called Stone City, a small city, and most of the people live by hunting.

"There is a kind of cattle in Stone Town, and the meat is delicious. Sanmao said.

When the city lord of Stone City was the leader of the alliance for the rest of his life, he also went to Yangzhou City, and he was still an old acquaintance.

Yu Sheng turned around and looked at the inn again, the inn was low, next to this big tree hugged by four or five people, there were withered vines on the trunk of the tree, and the wine flag of the inn was hung on it, and there was a livestock shed behind the inn.

In the birdsong of the mountains and forests, the inn is quiet, if you don't consider the many corpses and bones behind, this should be a good inn.

Subsequently, Yu Sheng asked Sanmao to get back the money handed over to Hu San and his wife, and allowed him to go back to Qiantang Village to rest for a day, and then went back.

It was still overcast, but the rain had stopped.

When Yu Sheng returned to the inn, Zhou Jiufeng was peeling peanuts and playing against Aunt Qing, and he was falling behind at this time.

"Remember, if you lose this game again, you'll have to defend the gates. Liu Liu reminded her beside her.

Zhou Jiufeng scratched his head, and when he was at a loss, he saw that Yu Sheng had returned, and hurriedly threw the chess pieces on the chessboard.

"Don't play, don't play, get down to business. ”

She greeted Yu Sheng, "Shopkeeper Yu, the things you explained have been done, and the study building behind Xunwei Zhai has been built." ”

"Know", Yu Sheng said, the system has reminded him, but the word "sword", he doesn't know where to post it for a while.

"Is there anything else you need to do? Your main business now is to accompany me to fight horses. Aunt Qing beckoned her over.

This game of chess, she is about to win.

"I'm really on business. Zhou Jiufeng was afraid to return to the chessboard, and took out a portrait from his sleeve, "You pay attention to this person." ”

"What's wrong with this person?" Yu Sheng sat next to Aunt Qing.

"He escaped from prison," Mr. Zhou said.

"What?" Aunt Qing looked at her with Yu Sheng, "You Jinyiwei have degenerated like this now?"

"It's not Jinyiwei, it's the prison cell of the Yamen in the west of the city. Zhou Jiufeng said.

In Yangzhou, there are two systems, and Jinyiwei specializes in dealing with strange forces and disorders.

There are also some conflicts between the common people and neighbors, which are handed over to the yamen, which also has its own servants and prisons.

It's just not as good as Jinyiwei.

The yamen was all trivial, and when she heard that it was the yamen, Aunt Qing put her heart at ease, and asked curiously for the rest of her life: "What happened to this person?"

"I don't know. Zhou Jiufeng said.

"What's it called, where is it, why don't you look for it at home?" Aunt Qing also asked.

Zhou Jiufeng still shook his head, "I don't know?"

"Hey, you really don't know what to ask. These officials are all so on an errand, they have arrested people, they don't know where he came from, and they don't know what he has done?"

"After the tide of dried corpses passed, there were many more homeless people in the city, and there were more troublemakers. The officials often arrested a large number of people and interrogated them one by one, and it is estimated that it is not his turn yet. Zhou Jiufeng said.

She also knew that this was a bit ridiculous, scratched her head and said, "Our Jinyiwei has already taken over this case, as long as we catch him, everything will fall out." ”

Yu Sheng glanced at the portrait again and complained: "This is also abstract, not realistic at all." ”

"Writing poetry?" Zhou Jiufeng was puzzled, what does arresting people have to do with writing poetry.

Just right, when I heard that Yu Sheng was coming back, Ye Zigao and Fu Yan hurriedly ran in.

"Shopkeeper, come and see, the portrait of the dog is finished, what do you think?" Ye Zigao handed the painting to Yu Sheng.

Yu Sheng frowned and measured for a long time, "It's better to draw the dog well, the ugly charm of the dog, you only get six points on this painting." ”

Aunt Qing took a look, "That's right, the dog is so ugly, if you really let Ye Zigao draw it, then you are embarrassing him." ”

Ye Zigao squinted at the dog, seeing that the dog was indifferent, it seems that the dog's ability to see people put down dishes is unique to the inn.

"It's done", the rest of his life hung the painting on the wall, so that Ye Zigao could make persistent efforts, "Draw ten more pictures, and the inn will use it." ”

Ye Zigao breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Shopkeeper, is the account settled first?"

"It's supposed to be over", and took out ten cents for the rest of his life, "Dog Shen Yun only scored six points." Ten cents is now only worth six. I account for forty percent of the six texts, almost two and a half texts, I suffer a loss, receive two texts, and give you the remaining four texts. ”

Ye Zigao was dumbfounded, seeing Yu Sheng take out ten texts, but in the end, there were only four texts in his hand, "No, shopkeeper Yu, you..."

Without waiting for his words to fall, Fu Nan took two cents from his palm: "I have more than one penny, and it is hard to take care of the dog, and I have been swallowed into my stomach four times by Qi Qi, I can't take two pennies, right?"

Well, it's two texts now.

"I don't move and be busy all morning, and I only earn two cents?" Ye Zigao wanted to cry.

The black girl was still worried next to her, but she smiled unkindly: "It's only two articles, ha, it's not enough for the daily interest." ”

Seeing that Ye Zigao was about to be discouraged, Yu Sheng encouraged him: "Everything is difficult at the beginning, two cents now, twenty cents tomorrow, and forty cents the day after tomorrow." ”

"It's the same", Ye Zigao nodded, and continued to paint outside, painting dogs.

Yu Sheng pointed to the painting of the dog and said to Zhou Jiufeng: "Do you see it, this is realistic, and the painting is almost the same as the real one." ”

Zhou Jiufeng looked at the dog's painting, "Don't say it, it's true." ”

For the rest of his life, he wanted more than ten kinds of paintings in different postures of the dog, and when it was almost noon, Ye Zigao finally painted the second one and started the third one.

At this moment, an old man came from the east, hunchbacked, on crutches, and slowly entered the town.

The old man was muddy and wet, and he seemed to have walked a lot, and he looked tired.

Therefore, after seeing the sign of the inn, the old man walked up to him without hesitation, ready to ask for a bowl of water to drink.

When he was about to go up the stairs, he saw the painting that Ye Zigao had painted and placed next to him, and he stopped and said in surprise: "Oh, this painting..."

Ye Zigao was taken aback, and Fu Nan, who was in charge of adjusting the dog's posture, also stood up and looked at him, "What's wrong with this painting?"

The old man did not answer, but stretched his neck up to the table, almost close to the painting.

"What's wrong with this painting?" Ye Zigao urged.

"This painting, this painting," said the old man excitedly, "Wonderful!"

"Really?" Ye Zigao grinned, there are still many people in this world.

"Well, that's wonderful," the old man nodded, "although the pen is not very good, but it is better than the idea, the intention is far-reaching, and it is full of meaning." ”

"Really?" Ye Zigao happily closed his mouth, "You can see this." ”

When he spoke, he also deliberately shouted at the inn, so that he could raise his eyebrows.

Sure enough, the people in the inn all turned their heads to look at this side, and Yu Sheng and the black girl even walked towards the door.

The old man continued, "This is a picture of a tiger, right?"

"Yes, yes, huh?" Ye Zigao was stunned for a moment, looking at the old man puzzled.

The old man didn't see his expression, and continued: "But like a dog, this is a typical tiger that does not become an anti-dog. ”

"You can draw a dog so ugly, which shows that you have a lot of skills, so you deliberately draw a tiger instead of an anti-dog, right? It seems that you are satirizing some people. The old man said very firmly.

"Who is he sarcastic?" asked the brunette.

"You know you're uneducated. This little brother is not an anti-dog by drawing a tiger, which is satirizing some people who are too ambitious and pursue unrealistic goals, which is similar to the toad wanting to eat swan meat. The old man said without raising his head.

"Needless to say, it must be rich. Black chick said.

"Me?" said to himself.

"You and Jingwei, aren't you so ambitious, what are you climbing?" said the black girl.

"Hey, I'm grumpy", Fu Nan looked at Ye Zigao, "Do you mean that?"

"No, how can I mean that, dog, you don't know, he's..."

Ye Zigao defended, and the old man said: "Of course, there is more than this meaning. ”
