"Oh, brother, spare your life! Last time, I saw seventy or eighty of them, but who knew that there were so many of them all at once today. I don't know what's going on! Seeing that Shi Tianji was really angry, the iron kettle head hurriedly begged for mercy.

"Alright, Lao Shi. It didn't help beating him. Maybe he really didn't know. Luo Shiyin considered that he still had to rely on the iron kettle to solve the accommodation problem tonight, so he waved his hand to stop Shi Tianji.

"If it weren't for the adults' intercession for you, I wouldn't have beaten you to death!" Shi Tianji put down his raised fist.

"Thank you, brother! Thank you too much...... A friend intercedes for me! The iron kettle first thanked Shi Tianji, and then turned around and came to Luo Shiyin to express his gratitude.

Although Luo Shiyin has always been polite to the iron kettle, the iron kettle always feels that Luo Shiyin, a middle-aged man, has a sense of majesty that is not angry and self-assured, so he has always been respectful of Luo Shiyin.

When the iron kettle head thanked Luo Shiyin just now, he couldn't remember how to address the other party properly for a while, and after thinking about it again, he barely squeezed out the somewhat awkward title of "friend" from his mouth.

"Iron kettle, the patience of these heroes is limited, I hope you don't play tricks again. Where do you think we should stay tonight? Li Ruzhu said to the iron kettle.

"It's easy to do. Turning the cliff in front of you, there is a mountain inn. It takes about 20 minutes to walk there at most. The iron kettle said.

"Didn't you just say that there is nowhere to stay within a radius of a few kilometers?" Xie Yuan was afraid that the iron kettle was going to play some tricks, so he asked.

"That'...... That's my, don't take it seriously. The iron kettle head said with a smile.

"If you kid plays tricks again, I'm really unkind to you!" Shi Tianji shouted angrily at the iron kettle.

"Don't dare, don't dare, who doesn't want to find a place to live on this snowy day. You see, my hands and feet are numb. Let's hurry up and walk to the inn in front of us early to eat and drink a little wine. The iron kettle seemed to be feeling cold, and he kept stomping his feet and rubbing his hands in place.

"Okay, let's go." Luo Shiyin said lightly.

"Actually, I just want you to help me vent my anger and teach those Japanese people a lesson. You don't know, they almost threw me into the wolf pen that day to feed the wolf cubs. Dog's day, Lao Tzu just can't swallow this breath. Hum! ”

Walking on the road, the iron kettle wanted to defend himself, but as he spoke, he became angry with the Japanese people, only to see him twist his head to the side in anger, as if the whole world owed him an apology.

At this time, no one in the team members was willing to mention the annoying incident just now, and naturally no one paid attention to the iron kettle.

Everyone walked forward in a dull atmosphere.

Turning the cliff to the east, you can see a faint light ahead.

After continuing along the valley for about two hundred meters, we came to a high leeward slope.

An inn consisting of two rows of dilapidated wooden houses appeared in front of the team. The innkeeper erected two tall wooden stakes about two meters in front of the front row of wooden houses, and a windproof lantern was hung on each stake. The tops of the two stakes are tied together by a thinner stick. In the middle of the stick, a wooden board hangs, and on the wooden board are written four crooked characters of "Snow Valley Inn".

The arrival of the team caused a dog barking in the inn.

Hearing the barking of his kind, the wolf dog that the iron kettle head was holding from the Japanese also barked wildly.

"Why is there a dog barking again? Iron kettlehead, this guy can't lead us to some dangerous place again, right? With the lessons of the past, Xie Yuan is somewhat sensitive to dog barking.

"How can you, brother. If you lend me ten guts, I won't dare! The dogs were kept by the innkeeper himself. You see, they're all in cages. The iron kettle hurriedly explained.

The team members looked in the direction of the iron kettle's finger, and sure enough, they found that under the right gable of the house in the front row of the inn, there was a cage enclosed by a wooden fence, and four or five dogs of different shapes were held in the cage.

The barking of the wolf dog led by the head of the iron kettle caused the dogs in the cage to bark even more frantically. A few of them were desperately clutching at the cages, trying to rush out.

The barking of the wolf dog outside seemed to alarm the shopkeeper inside, and I saw a young man wearing a melon skin hat and an animal skin apron around his waist push the door and greet him.

"A few guest officers, please inside!" The shopkeeper saw that there were many customers and hurriedly greeted him.

"Yo, isn't this an iron kettle! In this black light and cold weather, how can there be guests out of the mountain? You must make a lot of money on this trip, right? Don't forget to treat yourself! "The shopkeeper seems to be very familiar with the iron kettle.

"Come on, you, what kind of money are you making! A few friends are passing by here to help! Go, find a place, tie my dog up, get him something to eat. The iron kettle head said as he handed the dog leash to the shopkeeper, and then lifted the curtain and walked into the inn.

The inn was a little deserted, and all the tables were empty except for the square table closest to it, which was full of six guests.

"A few guest officers, sit here." Seeing the head of the iron kettle leading a group of people into the house, another shopkeeper in the store hurriedly ran over from behind the counter and welcomed Luo Shiyin and the others to the largest square table against the wall on the left.

The iron kettle head sat on the innermost stool, posed as a full of style, and said to the young shopkeeper in front of him: "New here, what's the matter, don't you know me?" ”

"I'm sorry, the villain has only been here for a few days. The first time I met the guest officer, I hope you will forgive me! The shopkeeper said respectfully.

"Well, I don't blame you. If there is any good wine and good meat, just serve it. I'm a regular visitor here, and you'll know me from now on. The respectful attitude of the young shopkeeper made the iron kettle very useful.

Shi Lang knew that Luo Shiyin generally did not allow his subordinates to drink alcohol in the process of performing tasks, and he saw that Luo Shiyin was inconvenient to stop the iron kettle, so he preemptively said to the iron kettle: "Brother Tie Kegtou, we have to hurry tomorrow, I don't want to drink this wine!" ”

"Oh, don't you have a little wine on this cold day...... Some are not enjoyable. The iron kettle immediately looked dissatisfied.

"If you don't drink, you don't drink. What's up? Do you still want to be special? Shi Tianji also knew the rules of Jinyiwei, and when he saw the iron kettle head put on a face that the uncle was not good to serve, he suddenly became angry.

"Okay, good, if you don't drink it, don't drink it. Dude, your two bell-like eyes are weird and scary. Can't I do it if I don't drink it? Seeing Shi Tianji's menacing appearance, the iron kettle head was suddenly frightened and lost his temper.

"Yo, iron kettle, what would you and your friends want to eat?" At this time, the slightly older shopkeeper who went out to greet the team ran over.

"A few plates of beef and more food." Without waiting for the iron kettle head to speak, Luo Shiyin said to the shopkeeper.

"Okay, wait a minute!" The older shopkeeper said yes and ran to the back to serve the food. Xuanshu Literature Network

"A few guest officers, please drink some hot water first!" The young shopkeeper had already brought a pot of hot water to fill everyone present.

After a while, a hot meal was served. The team members who had been running around for a day ate with relish.

During the whole meal, the iron kettle kept joking with the older shopkeeper. It seems that he is indeed a regular here.

After dinner, the older shopkeeper arranged for everyone to stay in the back house.

Ye Ruliu lived alone in a smaller room.

The rest of the squad lived in a large room with the iron kettle. Inside the room is a large bunk. The iron kettle head climbed onto the bed first, wanting to sleep in the innermost place against the wall, but unexpectedly, he was forcibly pulled to the other end of the Chase Shop by Shi Tianji: "Little brother, tonight you will sleep on the side with Brother Xie Yuan, and I will sleep in Brother Xie Yuan, one on each side of the two of us, to protect this great talent." lest someone else snatch him away. ”

Of course, Xie Yuan was reluctant to sleep next to the iron kettle head that exuded an unpleasant smell all over his body, and after listening to Shi Tianji's words, he glared and said: "Old Shi, why don't you sleep next to him, you don't know, I can't sleep when I smell the unpleasant smell." ”

"Alright, Brother Xie Yuan. Will be ordered. Shi Tianji said to Xie Yuan in a non-negotiable tone.

"My lord, you should rest early!" Shi Lang gave Luo Shiyin to the innermost position of the bed.

After the iron kettle head was forcibly pulled to the most marginal position by Shi Tianji, some dissatisfaction appeared on his face for a while, but the strong drowsiness made him can't help but yawn, and then, he fell into the quilt upside down, licked his mouth twice, and fell asleep after a while. His long and short snoring made it impossible for the rest of the room to fall asleep for a while.

Especially Xie Yuan, until the other team members had fallen asleep in the middle of the night, he was tormented by the characteristic snoring sound of the iron kettle on the right side of his body, and he couldn't fall asleep over and over.

Xie Yuanyao got up, took out a piece of fine grass from under the bed, and then turned over and stimulated the nose of the iron kettle head with the tip of the grass.

The iron kettle's nose instinctively moved a few times, and his voice finally stopped.

Xie Yuan let out a long breath and fell into bed to sleep. But as soon as he lay down, Shi Tianji on the left side of his body began to make a earth-shattering snoring sound.

Xie Yuan had to use the same method to calm down Shi Tianji's voice.

Xie Yuan got into the bed and planned to get a good night's sleep.

Unfortunately, as soon as the snoring on Shi Tianji's side subsided, the iron kettle's side started again.

"Hey, these two guys. Looks like she wants to sleep tonight! Xie Yuan secretly complained, and in desperation, he had to cover his head with a quilt before he could barely fall asleep.

Early the next morning, the iron kettle was the first to wake up. When he saw that the others had not yet woken up, he got up quietly, dressed neatly, and opened the door to the front of the row of houses, and looked for the wolf dog he had brought with him.

Beneath an idle stone trough in the stable, the iron kettle found his own wolfdog on a leash.

When the wolf dog saw the iron kettle coming towards him, he immediately got out from under the stone trough and wagked his tail affectionately at the iron kettle.

The head of the iron kettle bent down and touched the wolfdog's head, and then, from his bosom, he took out a piece of bacon brought from home and brought it to the wolfdog's mouth.

The wolf dog picked up the bacon in one bite, burrowed it under the stone trough again, and ate it beautifully.

"Good boy, eat well, I'm going to point to you on the road today." The iron kettle head said to the wolf dog who was concentrating on eating meat.

"Yo, iron kettle! Why did you bring your own dog? Looks like I don't want to use the dog in my inn this year. As soon as the iron kettle wanted to get up and go back to the house, he suddenly heard a man's strange voice behind him.

Behind the iron kettle head stood a stocky old man, who seemed to be the shopkeeper of the inn. As soon as the iron kettle saw the man, his attitude immediately became respectful: "Ouch, Jin Ye, Jin Shopkeeper!" You're old enough to get up so early. The iron kettle will give you a gift first! ”

"You haven't answered my question yet?" The old man stared at the iron kettle and asked.

"No, I picked up a dog on the road, and by the way, it seems that I can use it on the road today, so I don't need to rent the dog in our inn." The iron kettle replied.

"That's good, our previous accounts should also be settled. You come and go, but you owe a lot of money to the inn! The golden shopkeeper said in a cold tone.

"Ouch, Jin Shopkeeper, can't you believe my iron kettle? Your money is guaranteed. When I come back next time, I'll pay you back! ”

"Don't, I can't wait for next time, seeing that the end of this year is coming, and I have to spend money everywhere. I don't think you have to wait for next time, you will pay off all the money you owe today. ”

"Yes...... But I didn't have any money with me! ”

"I see you're prevaricating me with the same words every time. I'm going to leave you here today, and if you don't pay back the money, you and your dog won't want to leave today!" ”

"Ouch, my golden treasurer, Jin Ancestor. Can't you just give it a few more days? You see I brought a lot of friends today, and you have to detain me and make me lose face in front of my friends! ”

"Face? How much money is face worth this year? I don't care anyway. If you don't pay back the money, you want to leave! ”

"Shopkeeper Jin, it's not been a day or two for everyone, don't you know me yet? Don't worry, as long as I earn money, I will definitely pay back the money I owe you with interest. At the moment, brother, I do have a bit of a shyness. For the sake of my frequent visits to you, let's give you a few days, okay? ”

"Frequent visit? Yes, you are indeed a frequent visitor to my place, but you have taken credit again and again, so that no one can stand it. If the customers here were like you, my little shop would have closed a long time ago. ”

"How can it? Who doesn't know that you are a wealthy shopkeeper? My little money is nothing in your eyes, right, shopkeeper gold? Hey. ”

"Okay, no more nonsense. Either pay the debt and leave, or detain you and let your family come to ransom you. Take your pick. The golden shopkeeper didn't want to talk nonsense with the iron kettle anymore, and turned around to leave.

"Hey, shopkeeper Jin, you see if this will work, when you finish breakfast, you will ask my friends for money. If they don't give money, you'll be blackmailed by holding me away. When the time comes, they promise to obediently give you the money. The iron kettle head stepped forward, grabbed the arm of the golden shopkeeper, and whispered.

"Yes. However, I said that if they don't pay you back, you still won't be able to leave. Hey, who the hell are these people? Make a friend like you! After the golden shopkeeper finished speaking, he shook off the arm of the iron kettle and walked towards the house.
