Chapter 3: Give Her a Loving Breakfast (3)
The shopkeeper sat down beside Qi Bei and got closer: "Shhh, I can only tell you, the hundred birds entered the city thousands of years ago, I'm afraid it will happen again." You see, Tianxuan Pavilion has changed, Baiyu has entered the city, and the next thing is the third day, there are definitely more than three people who have died, if you finish your business, let's leave in these two days. As he spoke, he waved his hand and signaled to leave quickly.
Qi Bei exclaimed: "Three days? Really? It is said that the entry of Baiyu into the city has already happened, but I don't see any ghosts and poisonous insects in the city. ”
"Now everybody is scared, so take precautions. Listen to me, the source is absolutely reliable, just yesterday afternoon at dusk, the earth ghost used the same method as the legend, and entered the city!"
Qi Bei was shocked: "Yesterday afternoon, our Hundred Opera Troupe also entered the city yesterday afternoon. But we haven't heard of it, and we haven't seen it. ”
"Hehe, Baiyu sneaked into Fenglin City, is it still beating gongs and drums?"
"Yes, yes, you're right. ”
The shopkeeper's face was gloomy, and he looked like he had seen through everything, and suddenly sighed: "Women, it's all a disaster." ”
The proprietress who was washing the dishes in the back of the store opened the curtain and walked out, crossed her hands on her hips, and shouted: "What are you talking about?"
"Wife!" the shopkeeper hurriedly laughed, "Joking, joking." This guest officer is not a local, and I'm talking about the wind coming to the city. ”
"It's better to shut up and quickly cook rice noodles and sell them. Follow those people on the street all day long to spread nonsense and scare whom. ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "If you don't believe it, go around the street today, and if you can move out, you will have to leave with your family." ”
The proprietress snorted: "Then why don't you leave? You go to the street for me to see how many families have moved out?" The Taishi Mansion arrested you rumor-mongers. ”
Qi Bei had been thinking about what the store had said at the beginning, and couldn't help asking: "You just said 'women are trouble', why did you say such a sentence?"
"Because in the legend of the siege of the city, the ghosts of the earth can enter the city, which is to confuse a woman to open the city gate. The shopkeeper's voice blew into Qi Bei's ears with the yin wind.
"Ah! I see. Could it be that this time the hundred dragons entered the city, and they also confused the women to open the city gates?"
"Hey, how could it not. Otherwise, how can it be called 'reproduction'? ”
Qi Bei forgot that there was still a big bowl of fragrant fish soup rice noodles in front of him.
"Alas, the Taishi Mansion can arrest people and convict them of spreading rumors, but we can't stop us people from being afraid. Guest officer, I kindly advise you, you are an outsider, don't come to Fenglin City at this time to wade into troubled waters, finish your errands, and leave quickly. Alas, it's safe to leave. ”
Qi Bei fidgeted, and the impulse to save his life made him want to drop his chopsticks, run back and tell everyone in the Hundred Opera Troupe that the big guy should withdraw quickly, but he thought to himself, no, I can't go, I haven't seen Mrs. Bailing yet, and I haven't told her that there is a disaster in Fenglin City.
"However, there is also the Golden Crow God. Didn't you just say that the Golden Crow God saved Fenglin City, so there is still salvation, right?"
The shopkeeper's expression darkened: "This time, I'm afraid there is no Golden Crow God to save it." ”
Qi Bei hurriedly asked, "Why don't you come?"
"Because—hey, don't dare to talk nonsense about this, otherwise you will be arrested by Taishi Mansion and locked up in a dungeon and won't be able to get out—shhhh Master Taishi, he has angered the Golden Crow God! The Golden Crow God originally came down to the city every sixty years to bless us, but until now, for more than a hundred years, no one has seen the shadow of the Golden Crow God!"
Qi Bei also learned from the shopkeeper, buried his head, covered his mouth, and his voice couldn't be lowered: "More than a hundred years, why did Master Taishi anger the Golden Crow God?"
"Because—"
"I said you, by selling boiled noodles, or your mouth? Why don't you tell a story? Can you make money by making the rumors of Master Taishi?Wait for the Taishi Mansion to send you money?" The proprietress coughed violently twice behind the counter, glaring at the lecture.
Qi Bei and the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped, the two of them talked too much.
"Don't talk about it, those old things, I told you, it's actually useless. It's not a person from Fenglin City, my home is not here, it's good, I'll leave when I'm done. Unlike us, our ancestors have lived in this city for generations, and one day this city is gone, we have to follow it. Alas—"
The store's sad sigh made Qi Bei's heart even more gloomy. Since he was a child, he has traveled all over the world with the Hundred Opera Troupe, and he has no fixed place to live, so he needs to act there, so he pulls the carriage wherever he goes. Although he is accustomed to the life of eating and sleeping in the open, Qi Bei's heart still hopes to have a place to settle, no matter how small the house is, he just wants to have a peace of mind. But now it seems that even if you settle in one of the most prosperous places in Jiuding countries such as Fenglin City, disasters will still happen, and the gap between living and working in peace and contentment and being displaced is so large that it will really make people cry sadly.
"Alas, don't you talk about it?" Qi Bei still wanted to continue listening, it was really uncomfortable to be hung up by his appetite, he begged, "Tell me about it, I'll eat another bowl of fish soup rice noodles." ”
"Okay, I'll be here soon!" the shopkeeper filled a big bowl of fart, "Because, Master Taishi was back then-"
"Ahem!" The proprietress shook the rag in her hand and squeezed her eyebrows vigorously, "Blind, I didn't see anyone standing outside!"
The vigilant shopkeeper hurriedly looked out the door, and sure enough, two people in ordinary cloth clothes on the street walked from shop to store, but they didn't seem to have any intention of paying for breakfast.
He immediately threw up his hand and laughed: "Guest officer, you use it slowly." ”
Qi Bei was anxious: "I can't say half of the words, you tell me about it." ”
"Guest officer, the small shop still has to do business. ”
"Just reveal a little bit. Look, I bought you two bowls of rice noodles. ”
The shopkeeper was very embarrassed, stretched out his head and looked outside, still thinking that staying away from the lawsuit was more important than chattering about gossip: "Don't ask, those two outside are officials, let's talk too much, be careful and be arrested and locked up for a while." Didn't there be a visit from Jun'an City in the past two days, the city is very strict, it is really close to people, and it is not released. You, it's still delicious. ”
"Ah, I'm going to be locked up. Then I don't ask, I'll eat. Qi Bei was frightened by this sentence, and quickly shut up with interest, if she was really arrested, who would send breakfast to Mrs. Bailing, she couldn't be hungry.
The proprietress wiped the table and said to Qi Bei: "Young man, don't believe my family's nonsense. The big man has nothing to do all day, but he is idle. ”
Qi Bei nodded, still feeling in his heart that it might be safer to believe in it. After all, if there is really a disaster in Fenglin City, you have to tell Lady Bailing quickly. Yes, I was just going to send her breakfast, and by the way, I told her to leave Fenglin City quickly. This idea is fantastic, the news spread in the streets and alleys, Madame Bailing lives in the mansion so noblely, she must not have heard it, and the Imperial Official and Qin Zhi have not noticed it, and when I go and tell her, will it be considered to save their lives? Will she be very grateful to me? She will definitely remember me, thank me for reminding her, thank me for bringing her something delicious - oops, this rice noodle is really delicious.
