Chapter 116: The Old Beggar (1)

Looking at Xiao Wei's distant figure, Sanzang and I looked at each other speechlessly, this night was really fantasy! The rising sun sprinkled its soft light on the earth, and the sky gradually brightened. Without the isolation of the five elements, standing here you can hear the woods are very lively, and the sound of cicadas and birdsong is synthesized into a symphony that belongs to nature. Carefully put away the hair that Xiao Wei had given him, and returned to the inn with Sanzang the same way.

As we passed by the counter, the old man sitting there looked up at the two of us, and his eyes were strange, perhaps wondering when we had run out. didn't bother to take care of him, just nodded, thinking about going back to make up for sleep, it was not the body that was tired this night, but the mind that was full of shock and stimulation. But when I walked to the door, I found that we were trapped outside the door, and suddenly remembered that when I went out last night, the door was locked from the inside, embarrassed! You must know that this inn is an old house, or a traditional building in the local town, with the kind of wooden door with a copper lock on the outside and a latch on the inside, and the outside cannot be opened after the lock! It took a long time to toss before I hooked the door pin with a wire without being discovered, and lay on the bed exhausted. After all, I don't want to be discovered, we jumped out of the window last night, and the people who live in this inn are not ordinary people, if you are not careful, you will inevitably find out something!

slept until mid-afternoon, and only then did he replenish his consumed mind. After being woken up by his "gurgling" stomach, he took Sanzang with him to the town to forage for food.

"Why are you so annoying, old man! Let's go, don't get in the way here, and don't let me do business! You do it again. Be careful that I'm not kind to you! Go, go, stay away from me! An impatient roar came from the door of the restaurant. You can hear it from afar.

When I got closer, I saw that the restaurateur, who was always smiling, was frowning. Shaking a rag to drive away a man sitting in front of the door. When I turned my gaze to the man at the door, he seemed to sense my gaze, and the man raised his eye slightly to look at me. I chuckled in my heart, and my intuition told me that this old beggar sitting on the ground, wearing bloated, tattered, oil-stained old clothes, messy and dirty hair stained with weeds and rotten leaves, and his face and hands were full of stains that had been hoarded for I don't know how many years, was not a simple person! I have to say something. It is his eyes, clear and unfathomable, childish cleanliness and worldly precipitation intersect in a pair of eyes, giving people a sense of transparency after thousands of sails and washing away the dust. But soon, he changed to another look, and the cloudy numbness invaded his eyes, making him look like a completely down-and-out old beggar, where is there still the feeling of being a master just now!

"Boss. What's going on? ”

"Not because of him!" The boss has also recognized me and Sanzang these days, and while he was busy welcoming the two of us, he pointed to the old beggar on the ground whose brows were about to be twisted into a big pimple, and the smiling face that had been re-revealed could not be hung up. "This crazy old man. Blocked at my door early in the morning, I came to see him pitiful, so I gave steamed buns to fill his stomach. Eat a full meal. But not only did he not appreciate it, but he was also angry at me. He pointed at my nose and yelled that he wanted meat and a big meal. Steamed buns are not enough at all! Isn't this an inch! I didn't agree, no, I blocked my door and said that I wouldn't leave, and the business would be affected and I couldn't do it! ”

After listening to the boss's words, I glanced down at the old beggar, who was still sitting there, looking skinless, faceless, and sworn not to give up. After a second's pause, I stepped forward and leaned over politely and asked, "Old man, if you don't have this meal, what do you think?" ”

The old man squinted at me, slowly got up from the ground, and snorted, "You kid is still acquainted, not at all like that iron rooster!" Since you want to invite me so much, then I'll reluctantly give you a face! "That iron rooster, it's obvious that it's the restaurateur.

The restaurant owner blushed and pointed at the old beggar and trembled, "You, you, you," You couldn't say anything for a long time, this was because the old beggar was so angry that he couldn't even speak! I had to give up, turned around and said to me: "This little brother, look at this old man's scoundrel, what do you ask an old rascal like him to do!" Let's go in first, I'll drive him away!" ”

Sanzang stood aside and didn't say anything, he knew that I must have some reason for doing this, but it was obvious that he was also a little dissatisfied with the old beggar, and looked at me with a look in his eyes full of questions.

I waved my hand to stop the restaurant owner, "No need, I think this old man is a real person, and he can afford a meal, and please go and help us quarrel with some signature dishes!" With that, he bowed to the old beggar and stretched out his hand to signal him to go first.

The old beggar raised his feet, smiled and walked into the restaurant, and when he passed by the restaurant owner, he glared at him with squinted eyes and snorted heavily, as if mocking him, 'Look, if you don't give me food, someone will give me food!' It made the poor shopkeeper angry again.

There were still some diners in the restaurant, and the owner of the restaurant was probably afraid that the old beggar would affect the mood of the diners, so he led us into the only private room at the back of the hall and sat down.

The old beggar sat opposite me and Sanzang, didn't say a word, and when he saw the food coming up, he ate it unceremoniously, buried his head in a plate, and while disgusted with the chopsticks, he directly reached out and grabbed a chicken and gnawed it. The juice was left on the table with his wrists, his unkempt beard and even his hair stained with vegetable juice, dripping in the air, splashing around as he shook his head and gnawed.

Moved a little farther away without a trace, avoiding the fate of being splashed with oil stars. Looking at the dining table that became a mess in an instant, the hand holding the chopsticks stopped in the air for a while, and found that there was really no dish that could be started, so I had to put down the chopsticks silently. To be honest, I was still hungry and panicked, but after seeing this person's eating appearance, I couldn't raise my appetite at all! glanced at Sanzang, and found that his face was distorted, and he also put down his chopsticks, it seems that I am not the only one who is going to be hungry!

"Hiccup~~" There was a long burp, and the old beggar rubbed his stomach and leaned back on the chair, half-squinting his eyes as if he was full of food and drink and was going to sleep. The meal finally ended in the strange atmosphere of the old beggar's imageless nonsense and gobbling up, and me and Sanzang sitting quietly watching the hungry! (To be continued.) )
