Chapter 19: The Beginning

Lu Qi and Niu Lin traveled through this mountain for five or six days, and finally arrived at the territory of Gong County in the Heluo Plain. When you reach the plain, you can already see horse-drawn carriages passing back and forth, and Luqi even looks like horse-drawn carriages are rare! Just go to the carriage shop and buy a carriage, it's all fresh!

Niu Lin drove the carriage, and he sat in this carriage and felt so comfortable! Niu Lin was not familiar with the road to Kang's house, but fortunately there was a mouth under his nose to ask, so they just wandered on the road for a whole day before they arrived at the town near Kang's house.

First things first, stay in the hotel first. Don't look at Lu Qi's age of just twenty, but he is not a money-saver, there are many people in any place, and looking tall, the more he drills into it. Niu Lin couldn't help but sweat! Spending money like this, it is estimated that the coil on the body will not last for a few days!

When he bought a carriage during the day, Niu Lin persuaded him at that time to rent a carriage, and Lu Qi had to buy a new one. In fact, this carriage really wants to go back into the mountains, so it can only be used as a car, and it is good to be able to ride a horse into the mountains, and nine times out of ten you have to lead the horse away.

In fact, this Kangdian town doesn't seem to be as lively as imagined, and the Kang family's fame sounds like thunder! Four hundred years have passed. But it feels like it's not so bustling here, it's just a street, a bit like the town I visited when I was a kid.

Close to the town is a river, and after inquiring, I found out that this river is the Yiluo River, and it will flow into the Yellow River for seven or eight miles. The inn is also very deserted, and there are few guests!

During the meal, Lu Qi and Niu Lin ate in the lobby of the restaurant. This inn is downstairs for dinner and upstairs for accommodation. In one hall, with the two of them, there are only two tables of people. There was also a table of people in the box, which sounded like a lot of people. There were about five or six people, and they were drinking in five and six in it.

Sitting at the next table seemed to be a grandfather and grandson, who looked very different in age. Thinking that he was in a foreign land, Lu Qi would eat something good, and asked for three meat dishes, a vegetarian dish, and a bottle of wine. He and Niu Lin drank casually and casually.

After a while, the people inside seemed to have drunk too much, and their mouths began to pop up randomly there, and one of them seemed to have a straight tongue, and he only heard him whining: "Ding... Fourth brother! With this kind of oil and water, I think we can't hold it anymore. Soon, the big guys will have to drink the northwest wind! ”

"The big mouth is talking nonsense there, I can't drink it, get out of here!" It seems that Fourth Brother Ding is reprimanding!

"Well, you guys... Go on, I can't do it anymore, I have to go first, one step. After speaking, the person who drank a lot casually opened the sliding door, staggered out of the box, walked past them, and went out of the store.

Lu Qi was born with a bit of a good thing, and he glanced at Niu Lin, wanting to see where this man lived. Niu Lin frowned, he didn't want to do much, but after thinking about it again, it was not a bad thing to inquire, so he got up and followed out.

At this time, Lucci was left alone at the table, and he wanted to hear where the people at the table in the box came from. As a result, the people inside are all cautious! Only talk about wine, and don't talk about other topics.

Lu Qi thought about it, it was boring to sit here, and he talked to the shopkeeper. took a plate of pig ears, ran to the counter and said: "Come to the shopkeeper, just two mouthfuls if you have nothing to do, chattering and gossiping." ”

The shopkeeper knew that Lu Qi was a visitor, and he didn't see it, so he answered: "You're polite, you sit at the table, I'll take some wine, and I'll accompany you to drink two cups." ”

Lucci took the plate and came back, and the shopkeeper here added two more dishes and sat down with a bottle of wine in hand. The shopkeeper preconceived asked, "You don't look old, aren't you a local?" ”

"Well, yes, I started with... Luoyang comes, Luoyang, hehe! Lu Qi didn't know how to answer, so he said Luoyang by the way.

"The guest officer is not sincere, your accent is different from Luoyang." The shopkeeper said abruptly.

"Oh oh, I'm not from the city, I'm from the mountains, hehe!" Luffy's smile is a little innocent and cute!

"See, it's the first time the guest officer has gone out, right? It doesn't seem to be very old, sixteen or eighteen? "The shopkeeper sits in the store all day long, and there are many people, and Lu Qi says a word, and people basically look at it!

"Oh, shopkeeper, I'm over twenty." Lucci replied again.

After a while, it was all the shopkeeper who interrogated Luffy, and Luffy was stunned and didn't interject a word. In this moment's comparison, Lu Qi looks much more tender!

"Come, don't just talk, drink." The shopkeeper picked up his glass and touched it.

As soon as the wine was down, Lu Qi couldn't help it, "Shopkeeper, when I first arrived here, I feel that there are not too many people here, right?" ”

The shopkeeper didn't answer him, and asked back abruptly: "Why are you here?" Joining relatives, business trips? ”

"Oh, no, no, no... Passing by, passing by, Ming left without anything. Lucci replied.

This shopkeeper is good enough, and if you want to easily ask something out of his mouth, it's really difficult! Ruchi didn't ask, just drank it.

After a while, the people at the table in the box were almost drunk, and they walked out of the store in twos and threes. Lu Qi couldn't help but ask again: "They, don't they pay for food?" ”

"Hey! These bastards! They give money, and I don't want to give them money! The shopkeeper replied.

"Why?"

The shopkeeper coughed, and then turned to the topic, "You just asked, and the people at the table inside are not good for them to hear!" So I didn't answer you positively. Now that they're gone, we can let it go. ”

"Oh, I see! Hehe! Rudge smiled innocently again.

The shopkeeper looked at him, smiled slightly, and was about to speak, when Niu Lin came back. When I saw him sitting with the shopkeeper, he sat down and said no more.

Lu Qi will be more open, "Brother Niu said bluntly, it's okay!" The shopkeeper is a good person! ”

The shopkeeper covered his mouth and smiled, and Niu Lin was embarrassed......

"This brother, you should believe in your little brother once, although I sit on the ground and start trading, I am still a responsible person after all. Just say, not outside! The shopkeeper said.

"It's... That's it, the person who drank too much, I followed, the town office, should be a public official, right? Niu Lin replied.

As soon as these words came out, the shopkeeper immediately felt that Lu Qi and the others were a little famous! But he was very shrewd, and he didn't ask too much, but answered: "As for fighting with him!" Ask me, you know everything, haha! ”

Niu Lin didn't see that there were not many outside, but he was still old. Busy said: "Please also ask the shopkeeper for advice!" ”

"Don't you dare, didn't you two inquire about them? I'm going to tell you the whole thing, I've had enough of these guys anyway! ”

After speaking, he looked at the grandfather and grandson at the next table, got up and walked over, "Has the guest officer eaten well?" I'm ready to close. ”

The grandfather and grandson looked at each other, without saying a word, put the broken silver on the table, got up and went out of the store.

The shopkeeper told Xiao Er to close the door and clean up, and then sat back again. casually added: "Everyone is gone, you can let it go, delay the two of you for a longer time, it's okay, right?" ”

"It's okay, you continue." Lucci answered.

Then he didn't say a polite word, went straight to the point, and talked endlessly......
