Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Strange Man
Cao Mao snorted coldly and said in a low voice: "I don't think it maybe, but it should be caused by his nature." ”
Chen Ke was annoyed that he was talking too much, glared at him fiercely, and comforted Chen Xin softly: "I don't believe that Liu Gongzi is such a changeable person!" He must not have seen us! ”
Cao Mao was stunned, and thought to himself: "Isn't it? With such a big three living people coming over, would Liu Yuxuan not be able to see it? He is not blind. What's more, the three of them were already less than three steps away from him, how could he not see it? This Princess Ke is really self-deceiving! ”
He thought so, but he had to nod along with Chen Ke's words and said, "That's really possible!" ”
Chen Xinrou sighed, shook her head and said nothing, and motioned for the two to go in.
There are two tables and chairs in the north and south directions of the small shop, there are more than a dozen tables, but at this time they are already full of people.
Chen Ke frowned and watched for a long time, only then did he see that someone was waving desperately to him at the innermost wall, and when he looked at it, it was He Yong, so he helped Chen Xinrou to step in through the crowded tables and chairs.
Chen Yu and Liu Yuxuan had already sat down next to the table against the wall, while Xiao Yu, Xiao Bao, and He Yong sat down at the opposite table.
Chen Ke helped Chen Xinrou over, and after helping her sit on Chen Yu's side, he couldn't wait to sit on the chair next to Liu Yuxuan.
Xiao Er saw that the eight people were seated separately, and then came over with a smile on his face and handed over two menus respectively.
Chen Yu handed the menu to Liu Yuxuan without looking at it, and said in a low voice: "Liu Gongzi, you can choose some exquisite side dishes that you like to eat!" ”
Liu Yuxuan flashed over, waved his hand and said, "No need, let's let Cheng Dagongzi do it!" ”
Chen Yu shook his head with a smile and insisted: "When Liu Gongzi is disturbed, we are guests, and we should listen to the host's arrangement." But now, when you travel with us, you are not a host, but a friend. Since we're friends, don't be humble, let's have some of them! ”
Liu Yuxuan was not moved by his words, but showed impatience on his face, shook his head and said: "Although we are friends, we are just traveling with you after all, and we still need to rely on you in the future, so I have to listen to your arrangements!" ”
"Oh, you two are not bothered! Isn't it just ordering a few dishes, as for pushing around like this? ”
Chen Ke leaned up, reached over, snatched the menu from Chen Yu's hand, looked at it carefully, and said in amazement: "Hey, I didn't expect that there would be so many signature dishes in such a humble inn?" No, no, my eyes are already spent, so let's go for it! ”
After speaking, he casually threw the menu to Chen Yu again.
Chen Yu had a dark face, hurriedly picked up the menu, and was about to continue to give in to Liu Yuxuan, but he clearly heard that at the opposite table, Xiaobao was ordering dishes in a loud voice: "West Lake vinegar fish, Yangzhou roasted wheat, Texas grilled chicken, Beijing roast duck, plum cabbage button meat...... Ah, order these for now, and give us twenty steamed buns first. Hurry up and serve the food!"
Liu Yuxuan saw Chen Yu's look of envy, so he gestured to Xiao Er, who was waiting on the side, and said, "Just follow the table opposite, and come to the same table!" ”
Xiao Er agreed and went down to serve the food.
Chen Ke looked back and saw that He Yong and Cao Mao on the table were already looking at Xiaobao with admiration on their faces, and Xiaobao obviously showed a hint of arrogance on his face, and he had to give this Xiaobao a thumbs up secretly.
Chen Xinrou sat next to Liu Yuxuan across Chen Yu, mustered up the courage to talk to him, raised her eyes to look at him, but found that he turned slightly sideways, leaving half of his back to himself, and immediately lost all his courage, so he lowered his head, feeling sad.
Chen Ke only saw Liu Yuxuan turn around to him, although his eyes did not look at him, and his eyes did not know where to drift, but it was enough to make his heart beat faster, and he felt great hope.
"Liu Gongzi, your little treasure is really a baby! When we are on this trip, we can take him with us, so we don't have to worry about eating anymore. You say, don't you? ”
Liu Yuxuan's eyes were still looking somewhere when he heard this, thoughtful, and did not answer her.
Chen Ke was stunned in his heart, seeing that his eyes suddenly changed, he hurriedly instinctively turned around, looked along the place where his eyes were looking, and when he could see clearly, he couldn't help but tremble, quickly turned around, and whispered to everyone: "Big brother, second brother, hurry up and look at the table diagonally opposite us, are those people very weird?" ”
Chen Yu looked curiously when he heard this, and couldn't help frowning slightly, nodded and said, "It's really weird!" But I don't know where these people came from, and why they came to us? ”
Chen Xinrou heard everyone's curiosity, and then raised her eyes to look, only to see five people sitting at the opposite table, with different shapes, fat and thin, but the dress was surprisingly similar, all with a black heavy turban coiled on their heads, with a thick scarf on their faces, and a black cotton robe on their bodies, but they were covered with strange patterns, like strange snakes were coiling their heads up, and a letter was spit out of their mouths, which was terrifying.
He Yong and the others, who were next to the people at the table, obviously also saw the strangeness of these people, and they kept peeking at them.
Seeing this, Chen Xinrou felt an inexplicable eerie aura in her heart, and hurriedly retracted her gaze, still feeling that her heart was pounding.
Chen Ke couldn't help but continue to look back, and asked curiously: "Big brother, second brother, how can these people eat with heavy scarves covering their faces?" ”
As if answering Chen Ke's question, everyone saw that among the five people, one of them reached out and picked up a chopstick dish on the table in front of him, but he was as fast as lightning and lifted the black towel with one hand and sent the dish to his mouth.
Although it was only a matter of blink of an eye, Liu Yuxuan was a person who practiced martial arts, and he had already sharpened his eyes, and when he saw that under the black scarf that had been lifted, a very ugly face was suddenly revealed, and his brows were wrinkled, so he turned his gaze and looked at the rest of the tables.
He didn't look at it, and when he looked closely, he was surprised.
It turns out that the people sitting in the store of this inn are very strange when you look closely.
Approaching their table, there were also four people sitting, but there were two men and two women, both about twenty or so, dressed very ordinary, there was nothing unusual at first glance, but Liu Yuxuan clearly saw that one of them was holding a chopstick, and the kung fu was very good, calm and powerful, fast and decisive, at a glance, he knew that these four people each had martial arts, and their skills were very profound.
The rest of the tables, although some of them look like peasants, and some of them look like businessmen, but they are all people with martial arts, and they are all masters.
Liu Yuxuan's brows relaxed, and he thought to himself: "It seems that this Xiaoyao Inn is not simple. These people are all people from the rivers and lakes, but why do they want to gather here in hiding? Is it waiting for someone to fail? ”
Thinking of this, he peeked at Chen Yu beside him, but saw that he was looking at himself distractedly, and when he saw that he was looking up at him, he hurriedly withdrew his gaze, lowered his head and pretended to drink tea.
Liu Yuxuan faintly felt a sense of boredom in his heart, but he remained silent, and also picked up the teacup in front of him and drank it with taste.
At this time, the little second-hand man walked over quickly with a tray, and shouted: "Be careful, be careful about the tray in my hand!" ”
Although he shouted so loudly in his mouth, obviously reminding everyone not to knock over the tray in his hand, Liu Yuxuan looked down and saw clearly, this little er's feet seemed to be weak, but it was clearly not chaotic, and when his feet were lifted and fell, he was not dusty, and it was difficult to do so without deep internal strength.
When Liu Yuxuan saw this, he was even more shocked, but his face was still calm, pretending not to know, when this little two came to the front and put down the dishes in the tray one by one, he pretended to get up at will, and accidentally touched a dish that Xiao'er was about to put in front of him.
"Oops, be careful!"
Chen Ke exclaimed in fright, and hurriedly got up, wanting to reach out and hold the plate.
Xiao Er's wrist turned suddenly, he straightened the plate, put the plate flat in front of Liu Yuxuan, and smiled at him with the same face: "This son, I'm sorry!" Didn't scare you, did it? ”
Chen Ke saw that it was okay, rolled his eyes, and said angrily: "It's okay, otherwise it will stain Liu Gongzi's clothes, see how you clean up!" ”
Xiao Er nodded and apologized vigorously.
Liu Yuxuan knew in his heart, shook his hand and said, "Don't get in the way, you go down!" ”
He watched Xiao Er turn around and leave with a smile on his face, a playful smile on his face.
After a while, the dishes ordered were already on the two tables, and two large plates of snow-white steamed buns had been served.
Xiaobao couldn't hold it back, reached out and grabbed a big steamed bun, stuffed it into his mouth, stood up again, reached out to hold the dishes on the table, and when he was eating his mouth full of Dengdeng, he inadvertently raised his eyes, but saw that everyone in the store suddenly stopped making noise, and raised their eyes to look outside.
He looked out the window curiously, but saw that outside the store, there were fifty or sixty people standing in the black press, all holding weapons, silently guarding the door of the store, beating a delicate woman, covering a white silk scarf, unable to see what it looked like, holding a bright sword in her hand, and looking at the store.
Xiaobao exclaimed in fright, and the steamed buns and dishes in his mouth immediately spouted out, splashing all over the table.
He Yong sat with his back to the window, and for some reason, the delicacies at the table were stained by the things in Xiaobao's mouth, so he was angry and shouted: "Xiaobao, you ......"
Cao Mao hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab him, and secretly stretched out his hand to point out the window, signaling him not to make a sound.
When He Yong saw it, he was immediately silent, and he unconsciously thought in his heart: "Isn't it that the whereabouts of the saint have been exposed, and he has been targeted by some unknown person?" ”
He kept thinking in his heart, if this was the case, how to protect the Holy One for a while.
