The capital is an eccentric place, give gifts in autumn, leave in a hurry after taking a picture, come empty-handed in winter, but live for a long time with a big grin, and the people are like doting on the parents of their young sons, even if they are frozen from their mouths to their palms, their faces are still smiling, hiding in a warm house, discussing which New Year's goods to buy. Updates are fast and ad-free.

The business of the noodle restaurant is better than usual, the noodles are temporarily out of favor, everyone needs a bowl of hot noodle soup, the rich people add a few more pieces of boiled meat, and then ask for a pot of hot wine, the noodles are eaten quickly, the wine is drunk slowly, and when it is cold, they shout "hot wine" with full of energy, and the remaining soup in the bowl can be drunk for half an afternoon, if you want another plate of peanuts or beans, you can chew and swallow slowly until the evening.

Jiang Erpi and Zheng Sanhun have been short of money recently, so they have to come to the noodle restaurant to find food, and they are tired of eating the big fish and meat in the spring courtyard and miss the folk food.

The two of them don't call for wine, they share a bowl of noodles, count each other's noodles, and when they drink soup, they fight for each other, and the noodle bowl bottoms out early, leaving the brothers to look at each other, leaving nothing to do, and they want to leave and feel cold outside.

"What's going on this winter? The guests all returned to their hometown in the south early, and the business of the Spring Courtyard was not good, which affected us. ”

"yes, yes, it's not going to be a good winter."

The guy squeezed in between the two tables of guests and said coldly: "Everyone is not happy, like the two of you who pay on credit every day, our noodle restaurant will have to close in two days." ”

"Whom do you talk to? Don't you know who I am? Jiang Erpi slapped the table, tilted his head and squinted at the person, "Lao Tzu's money is lent out to eat interest, what's wrong with you a few days late?" Are you afraid that I won't give it? Not to mention a few bowls of noodles, I can afford the whole noodle restaurant, I think you are too dirty and shabby here. ”

Zheng Sanhun was in charge of helping, saying "yes" one by one, and patting the table with his two hands in turn, like playing a bamboo board to accompany Jiang Erpi.

The guy recognized these two people, he was not afraid at all, and sneered, "The two of them are also the people with heads and faces on the street, my master said, I don't want the money for the meal in the past, starting tomorrow, please find another place to eat." We are dirty and broken here, and I am afraid that if we don't eat well, we will ruin the reputation of the noodle restaurant. ”

After the guy finished speaking, he turned around and left, and there were many guests around, all watching the excitement.

These two people are thick-skinned, and neither of them feels humiliated, but they are happy that their accounts can be written off these days, and they are worried about another thing.

"Can't be here tomorrow?" Zheng Sanhun whispered, "Then where are we going?" Surrounding...... There's nowhere else we can go. ”

"Whatever, let's talk about it tomorrow, and I'll go to the spring courtyards later, maybe I can get rich overnight."

Zheng Sanhun smirked, he really thought it was possible, picked up the noodle bowl, took a breath of air, and smacked the taste, "Or, sell your house." ”

"Phew, if I sell you, I can't sell my house, that's ancestral property, my father made me swear, the house is there, the house is lost, can I sell it?"

Zheng Sanhun smiled, he never felt that this brother was a person who valued oaths, and he was still hungry in his stomach, so hungry that he couldn't wait to get rich overnight, "Hu Guiyang has never come back, it is estimated that something has happened, and his house has been empty, which is a pity." ”

"You think I don't want to? I don't know where this kid is hiding. ”

You can't sell the house without the deed, Zheng Sanhun licked his lips, and his hunger was even stronger, "On such a cold day, I really want to eat pot broth." ”

The two brothers have a good heart for this kind of thing, Jiang Erpi smiled knowingly, "Raise a dog for a thousand days and eat a dog for a while." ”

"We fed it."

"Yes." Jiang Erpi stood up and sat down slowly, "What if...... What about Hu Guiyang's return? ”

"I don't believe he can come back, and he won't be afraid to come back, so I said that the flatbread didn't know which bastard stole it."

"Let's go!" Jiang Erpi slapped the table again excitedly, got up and squeezed towards the door, and said to the shopkeeper: "Take the altar wine, and count it tomorrow." ”

As if he hadn't heard, the shopkeeper whispered to his fellow and smiled and nodded to the other guests.

Jiang Erpi waited for a while, and went out in a gloomy manner, Zheng Sanhun wanted to save face, snorted fiercely, and spat at the door.

As soon as the two left, the guests began to talk.

"These two scoundrels, let's figure out whose dog they are going to go again."

"They're like dogs on the street."

"If you take them in this winter, you'll do a great thing."

The crowd laughed, and the conversation quickly moved on to something else.

"Lao Zhang, have you found the immortals?"

Lao Zhang didn't squeak and drank slowly.

The other person smiled and said: "Don't call Lao Zhang, people have a big name, and they are called Zhang Wuchen, who refers to the immortal Taoist." ”

"Haha, referring to the Immortal Dao people? Last year in his mule cart, I showed him the way. ”

Everyone laughed again, Zhang Wuchen was not angry, he had already stopped rushing to the car, changed into a robe, did not change in winter, did not wash when dirty, did not repair when broken, and kept his nails long, he did have a bit of a hermit's style, but unfortunately once he met an acquaintance, he would still be ruthlessly exposed.

"Don't laugh." He also spoke in a different tone than before, deliberately prolonged, as if he was going to recite poetry, but he was always in a state of preparation, "We are different. ”

"What's the difference?" Eating and drinking, the customers in the noodle restaurant like to joke, "Your clothes are more chic than ours." ”

"I'm the one who has seen the gods." Zhang Wuchen habitually looked up at the sky, but only saw the dirty beams, "I saw with my own eyes, you are just ordinary people." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone laughed even happier.

"Talking about Yunyang Mansion again? Okay, I love to hear this, Zhang Wuchen, if you say it well, I'll give you a pot of wine. ”

"I'm not talking about books, I'm telling the truth." Zhang Wuchen didn't care about everyone's ridicule, his face was so serious that he seemed to reveal a big secret, "On the seventh day of the seventh month, the heavenly court descended to the mortal world, covering the ground as big as at least five Yunyang City, and the red pillar of light rose to the sky, as long as it was a mortal present, they all had divine power......"

Someone shook his head, "It's the same old again, I'm not interested, I don't invite wine." ”

Zhang Wuchen licked his lips, "This is the real thing, hundreds of thousands of mortals are present......"

"Last time, you said more than 100,000 people, but today it has changed again?"

"Anyway, there are a lot of people, who can find out?"

The shopkeeper likes this kind of small talk, which can not only pass the time, but also please the guests, and said to a person in the corner with a smile: "Third Brother Song, didn't you also go to Yunyang Mansion in the summer?" See the gods? ”

Third Brother Song is a military household, he is not on duty today, he is dressed no different from the people, and he hummed sullenly, "Where did the gods come from?" The officers and soldiers fought a few battles with the anti-thieves, and many people died, and then the anti-thieves dispersed, some accepted the recruitment, and some hid in the mountains, and that's it. ”

Zhang Wuchen didn't care about ridicule, but he couldn't tolerate someone denying his statement, and his face turned red all of a sudden, "Are you in Yunyang Mansion on the seventh day of the seventh month of July?" In which Dan cave? ”

"Dan Acupoint? It's just that someone set off a few fireworks, and the anti-thieves were cornered, trying to scare off the officers and soldiers by pretending to be gods, but the result was still a complete failure, every time like this, what's new? ”

Zhang Wuchen was exposed in public, and everyone laughed louder.

"Since you are in Yunyang, you dare to say that you have not enjoyed the benefits of the Dan Acupoint?"

"Benefits?" Third Brother Song looked disdainful, and was a little annoyed, "Three of our ten people died in a team, I fell ill, I couldn't handle the soldiers, I couldn't work, the family relied on that little military salary to feed, and the boss had to deduct a little bit every month, what benefits do you say I get?" ”

Zhang Wuchen didn't squeak, and the others also felt embarrassed, persuaded a few words, and bowed their heads to drink soup.

Third Brother Song was interested, and sighed, "I haven't seen the immortals, but I heard that there are a lot of treasures." There are many thieves in Yunyang, one after another, every time when death comes, they will bury the gold and silver treasures they have robbed, there are inside and outside the city, it is said that many people have dug up treasures, but unfortunately I don't have that good life. ”

Zhang Wuchen whispered to everyone: "After the immortal left, he left a lot of golden pills, which are his so-called treasures, one to strengthen the body, two to prolong life, three to call the wind and rain, and more than seven can fly on the ground." ”

"How many do you have?"

"I'm too late." Zhang Wuchen was full of remorse, "The best Jindan is all in the five deep pits, and before I have time to start, the deep pits were taken over by officers and soldiers." Alas, the times are not good, and I am afraid that there will be no such opportunities in the future. ”

Third Brother Song didn't refute this time, "There are indeed many deep pits, and the most buried gold and silver treasures are all ......" Third Brother Song made a complicated gesture, and everyone understood that it was referring to the eunuchs in the palace, "They took it." I also heard that some of the thieves looted a few of them before escaping into the mountains, and some high-rollers stole a lot of them, and many officers and soldiers also took the opportunity to make a profit. ”

"How many did you fish?" Someone asked with a smile.

Third Brother Song coughed and pointed to the old jacket on his body, "Do I look like I've caught it?" Alas, it's the same everywhere, honest people suffer losses, I am just too honest, I want to make meritorious contributions on the battlefield with real swords and guns, but I am worse than anyone else, all the credit is snatched by others, and the treasure is not fished. ”

No one likes to listen to complaints, the guests turned around and whispered about other topics, Zhang Wuchen didn't want to listen either, picked up the noodle bowl with both hands, carefully drank a sip of noodle soup, and tasted it carefully.

Third Brother Song was bored, was silent for a while, and said: "There is a captain in brocade clothes, who lives on this street, and it is said that he is greedy a lot in Yunyang Mansion, and he does not dare to go back to Beijing to see his boss, so he hides in Jiangnan with gold and silver treasures, which is really bold and lucky." ”

At the mention of gold and silver treasures, everyone's interest was high, and Zhang Wuchen immediately said: "I know who it is, Hu Guiyang, it's been half a year, and he hasn't returned to Beijing, so he must be looking for a place to secretly cultivate, and he plans to become an immortal." ”

The shopkeeper let out a long sigh, "It's that Captain Hu, I can't see that he is so bold, but this person is very righteous, and he deliberately settled all the accounts before leaving Beijing." ”

The guy snorted, "Didn't those two guys just now take credit from us under the banner of Captain Hu?" ”

"Forget it, a little money will be blown away by a strong wind, not to mention that it has nothing to do with Captain Hu."

The captain of Jinyi, the treasure of gold and silver, and the flying of the ground, these things are linked, which greatly arouses the enthusiasm of everyone, and the discussion is endless, and most people believe Song Sange's statement: The captain surnamed Hu must be greedy for a large amount of gold and silver, hiding in the prosperous place in the southeast and living happily.

Zhang Wuchen was stubborn, "Wait and see, in a few years, he will become an immortal, and he may revisit his hometown, which will scare you." ”

The small noodle shop is filled with laughter, mixed with the steam, and it looks even more warm and cozy.

As soon as the door opened, a cold breeze accompanied by a cold breeze attracted customers to the store.

It was a dusty young man, his face was red, as if he had been scarred, and he seemed to have just finished a long journey, and when he entered the house, he sat down at a table with few people, and said to the shopkeeper: "A bowl of noodles, add more noodles, and a pot of hot wine, and make soup." ”
