Chapter 189: Weird Tea Shop
The master and servant looked at each other and smiled and then walked out of the Wei Mansion, when the stars disappeared in the darkest time before dawn, Wei Jinyun and King Kong walked to the dilapidated old tea shop at the head of the town. A few bats flapped their wings and flew by, chirping and chirping, up and down like ghosts.
Countless trees that once flourished have been extremely thin and withered in the autumn wind. The cold wind blew a leaf and flew to an uncertain place. The nocturnal owl crouches on the branches of a tree and makes a demonic cry, causing the child in his dream to fall into a nightmare from which he cannot extricate himself.
The butcher's shop and the blacksmith's shop were the most industrious, but they still did not wake up from their fatigue. It seems that the scene where Wei Jinyun punished King Kong yesterday gave them the most profound comfort. The smell of spirits could still be heard in a few of the houses facing the street, and the sound of men snoring could be heard from two dilapidated attics.
Further on, there is a drugstore, small but well organized, and there are no other clutter even if the autumn leaves are everywhere. At this time, there was a muttering and moaning from the propped up window, and Wei Jinyun knew that the young shopkeeper must have been woken up from a dream by his mother-in-law.
In a remote place like Gale Town, the busy season is labor during the day, and when the harvest is finished, people are idle. The grain has just been put into the barn, and Master Wei has waived this year's rent, which can be described as a double happiness. On this day worth celebrating, the game between husband and wife before the early hours of the morning is the most beautiful portrayal of the world.
Wei Jinyun smiled slightly, pretending not to hear, but the Vajra Beast had an idea. I was going to listen for a while, but I found that Wei Jinyun was walking forward, and I had no choice but to follow. Speechless all the way, the two soon came to the most dilapidated house, where the autumn wind blew and the mottled walls could be heard whistling through the cracks.
The cold chimney should not have smoked for a long time, and poor Aunt Huang is in a nightmare at this time, or is she sitting in front of the stove to warm up with hunger?
After a slight hesitation, Wei Jinyun raised his hand and was about to knock on the door, but he heard a cough followed by an answer.
"Come in, the door is not bolted......"
"Squeak......
Wei Jinyun gently pushed open the door, and under the dim kerosene lamp, the old lady was really sitting on the edge of the stove. There is a musty smell on the pavement, mixed with the fermentation smell of old debris. However, Wei Jinyun did not dislike it, because all the old people's houses in Gale Town smelled like this. It's just that Aunt Huang is lonely and widowed, and the smell is more serious.
Both of them walked into a simple room two feet in size, and the whole room was still the same as it was in the past, and there was still no change after 20 years. The rough dirt road cracked the cracks, and the charcoal fire inside could be clearly seen Wei Wei. The black pottery teapot on the stove is steaming, and the lid is lifted by the steam, making a clanging sound.
The old lady didn't have a few teeth, and when she saw Wei Jinyun and the King Kong Beast coming in, she smiled and kept her mouth open.
"I haven't slept all night, have you? It's still a young man's spirit, alas, decades have passed in a blink of an eye, and the children fed by goat's milk have become old men......"
Mrs. Huang is no different from what she saw during the day, and even in the past few decades, she has only had this dress. Forever dark blue, charred with a few pieces of charcoal. The silver hair is a little disheveled, with a bun that wraps a lump of hair. A silver hairpin passed through the middle, adding some kindness to the old face.
"Yes, I just took over the inheritance of my ancestors, and I don't have the heart to sleep peacefully. Moreover, the evil beast will soon break through the Barren Ridge Formation, and I have to let the people of Gale Town survive the catastrophe. ”
Wei Jinyun smiled: "Auntie, the last time the blood moon came, I heard that you killed several evil beasts with a crutch, is it true or false?"
I know a lot about this, but maybe only one person has actually seen it, and now he is dead. Wei Jinyun always remembered this incident, and originally thought that it was just a rumor, but the old lady's words yesterday made him think differently. This old lady Huang should be a master, or she hides a huge secret.
No matter how good the craftsmanship of ordinary people is, they can't satisfy the tricky appetite of immortal cultivators. And this unpleasant and unpleasant tea made the immortal cultivators want to stop. And everyone who has drunk tea will not taste good, but every time I pass by here, I can't control my inner impulse.
An old lady who can make this kind of tea, if she is just an ordinary person, the current Wei Jinyun will not believe anything. Therefore, in order to explore the truth and reality, I remembered the biography of a long time ago. The old lady pointed to the stool, then turned to take the black bowl and poured hot tea. A few jet-black unknown leaves float in the tea bowl, looking like leaves that have been soaked in a manure pit for half a year.
"It stands to reason that there's nothing wrong with you killing them, but it's still a big sin after all. At first, I was worried that someone would get you in trouble, but what you did yesterday made me think a little new. After thinking about it all night, I have a few words to tell you, remember your father's words, kindness and justice are always the sharpest weapons. ”
The wrinkles on the old lady's face seemed to stretch a little, but a few words did not look like a folk old lady at all. Wei Jinyun could hear that she had her own independent and avant-garde thinking, and she could understand some things even if she sat still. For people with this kind of strength, the old lady's outfit is just an appearance, and it is very likely that she has another special identity.
Wei Jinyun took the tea, and then sat on the wooden bench, because the stool was too short, and he felt awkward with his legs bent. If you don't pay attention, you think you're just squatting on the ground. However, having a stool is already a very good treatment, you must know that those immortal cultivators come to spend money to buy tea and drink, but they are all standing and waiting.
"Thing, come here......"
Old Lady Huang didn't answer Wei Jinyun's question, but beckoned to the Vajra Beast. At this time, the Vajra beast is like an ordinary monkey. It was very obedient and walked over with its head down, squatting at the old man's feet, very familiar and dependent.
"Well, when you grow up, I remember thirty years ago, when I went to the barren mountains to collect firewood, I touched you and was covered in injuries. It's dark with that boar, and if it weren't for me, I'm afraid you two would have died together......"
"Auntie, I remember your kindness, it was you who saved me. ”
When Wei Jinyun heard Vajra Beast like this, he just remembered some things, when the old lady pleaded for mercy yesterday, Vajra Beast was very respectful to her. Originally, I thought it was just a deliberate act of Vajramon, but today it seems that I have known it before. One is the fierce beast of Yunmeng Swamp, with infinite strength and fierce ferocity, and the other is an old lady who is about to die, what kind of past will they have?
"You guys, you know?"
"Of course, master, when I met the eldest mother, you weren't born yet, haha......"
