After walking on the Yellow Mud Avenue for more than two hours, Ye Cheng saw four broken and broken cylindrical pillars. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info lined up on both sides of the avenue, two on the left and two on the right, broken to different heights.

Next to the pillars are scattered some tattered wooden boards, which are inlaid with the appearance of letters. Ye Cheng paused, pieced together with his eyes, and could see a longevity character.

Further on, dozens of brick and stone houses appear on both sides of the avenue. The avenue is sparsely populated, and no one has passed by for half a day, and most of the doors of the brick and stone houses on both sides of the road are closed, and the signboards hanging under the eaves are swaying in the wind.

In some houses with closed doors, the walls have been cracked and the masonry has fallen, and only a few open shops have some wet yellow mud sticking to the walls, as if repairing the cracked walls.

"Second brother, is this Fushou Village? Why is it so desolate and dilapidated? Ye Cheng asked in surprise.

Li Shengdi sighed and patiently explained, "Because of the bandits, this rich Fushou Village has declined. Some have gone to live elsewhere, while others have chosen to stay because they don't want to leave the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, at the cost of having to pay a monthly tribute to the bandits. ”

"Bang"

Suddenly, a bowl was thrown out of a masonry room on Ye Cheng's right hand and fell at his heels, and Ye Cheng turned his eyes to look at the masonry room on the right.

The masonry room is a tavern, and a plaque hangs on the protruding eaves with the words "Happy Tavern" written in four large characters. Two doors more than three meters wide open, and you can see the dozen or so square tables inside, and the tavern business is bleak, only two men sit at a square table at the door.

The two men sat on the square table, crossed their legs on the table, and clasped the vegetables between their teeth with their fingers, looking very arrogant.

An old man knelt in front of two men and begged bitterly, "You can't treat me like this, this old man, I have already handed over a large amount of silver to you every month, and if you don't pay for your meals, how can I get the next month's tribute?"

One of the men's fingers had been fiddling between his teeth for a long time, and it seemed to be struggling. Soon, he looked relieved, and his hand was taken out of his mouth, and there was a dark blue vegetable stain stuck to his index finger.

The man put his index finger in front of the old man, "You are a broken old man, what kind of food do you make, it is so unpalatable that you are dead, and you still stuff your teeth, so you dare to ask for money?" ”

After the man finished pretending, he raised his right foot and aimed at the old man's head to kick it.

"Stop!"

Ye Cheng shouted and stopped the man's feet. Running quickly into the tavern, he helped up the old man who was kneeling on the ground with a smile.

"Who are you kid" The man who detained the dish looked at Ye Cheng in astonishment.

Ye Cheng pretended not to hear, turned his head to look at the square table, and saw that there were still some vegetable leaves left on it. Ye Cheng grabbed it and ate it, chewing it seriously, "Well, it's delicious"

The man who detained the vegetables stared at Ye Cheng carefully, with a strange expression, probably the first time he saw Ye Cheng in a suit.

Suddenly, he shouted at Ye Cheng with anger on his face, "Where are you kid from?" How dare you take care of the affairs of the wolf's tooth village"

Ye Cheng still pretended not to hear, and after swallowing the vegetables, he seriously licked the remaining vegetable juice on his fingers with his mouth, acting very happy.

Then he grabbed the man's mouth with one hand, forced him to open his mouth, and then leaned in and looked at it carefully, "Well, so that's the case, such a big gap between the teeth, I'm afraid I will stuff my teeth when I drink water"

"Woo, what did you kid say!" The man whined.

"What does this smell like?" Ye Cheng let go of the man, his palm shook in front of his nose, and he looked disgusted, "You can't wronged the old man's cooking, the food is not delicious, you have such a big bad breath, you can't eat anything."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Being insulted by Ye Cheng like this, the man was furious, and hit Ye Cheng with his right hand that was clenched into a fist.

"Whoa"

Just as the fist hit Ye Cheng in front of him, a familiar roar sounded outside the tavern, suppressing the man's fist.

When the roar ended, Ye Cheng was stunned and his body staggered. After the bear roar sounded, Ye Cheng had already covered his ears as fast as he could, but he still couldn't stop the spread of the sound.

"This Li Shengtian, if you use the bear roar, you won't be notified in advance."

Ye Cheng complained in his heart, and found that the old man next to him had fallen to the ground, Ye Cheng hurriedly helped the old man up, and after checking it, he found that he had just fainted.

It should be too old to withstand such a strong voice.

"Big brother, you use the bear roar next time, can you notify me, don't hurt the good people by mistake" Seeing Li Shengtian's whole body covered with red transparent gas walking into the tavern, Ye Cheng said a little angrily.

"Isn't it just an old man? What does it matter" Li Shengtian disdainfully dispersed the red gas, walked to the square table and sat down.

“..........”

Ye Cheng was speechless, his eyes staring at Li Shengtian, and he couldn't understand why he would stop that man, could he still be considered a good person? But judging from the tone of his voice, it doesn't look like it, so it's better to be careful in the future.

"God-man! Run, that guy is a man of God."

Seeing Li Shengtian on the square table, the other man eased from the roar of the bear just now, and fell from the bench to the ground in a panic. He got up from the ground and dragged the man out of the tavern.

The man who was dragged away, after going out to the door of the tavern, left a cruel sentence: "You wait for Lao Tzu, the people of the wolf's tooth village will not be bullied like this." We're going to tear you all apart and feed them to the wolves."

Li Shengtian stood up from the bench and emitted red transparent gas again, ready to release his martial arts skills, and the man once again saw the strong Li Shengtian and fled in a panic.

"Third brother, is this old man okay?" At this time, Li Shengdi came over and asked about the old man's situation.

"It should just faint," Ye Cheng pinched the position of the middle under the old man's nose.

"Ahem"

Soon, the old man woke up to the pain.

Ye Cheng was about to help the old man up, but he felt the old man stand up by himself. The old man looked around in a panic, as if he was looking for something?

He still muttered "It's over, it's over, it's really over now"

"Slap" Suddenly, the square table behind Ye Cheng made a fierce sound.

Turning around, I saw Li Shengtian standing angrily, his right foot on the bench, and his right hand slapping on the square table.

Li Shengtian pointed at the old man with his left hand and scolded angrily, "You bad old man, what are you done." If you're afraid of those bandits, aren't you afraid of us! We're all bandits."

"I ..... I ......" The old man was frightened and slurred to speak.

"Brother, don't be angry, they just don't know the prestige of our cottage yet. When the strength of our cottage grows, let alone a small Fushou Village, even Murong County will be afraid of us" Li Shengdi saw that his brother was furious and hurriedly stepped forward to persuade him.

"Quickly bring up the good wine and food," Li Shengtian sat on the bench angrily.

The old man was so frightened that his hands and feet trembled and he walked to the back room. Ye Cheng glanced at Li Shengdi helplessly, and then sat around the square table.

The eyes glanced at Li Shengdi again, this younger brother's personality was completely different from his elder brother. The younger brother knows how to ask about the old man's situation, and he knows how to skillfully stop his brother from insulting the old man, he should be a person who can be befriended, and he will communicate more with Li Shengdi in the future.

"Three of you, please drink some sour sauce to appetize, the dish will take some time"

At this time, the old man carried a tray on the square table, and there were three bowls, a teapot, and a knife in the tray.

"Lemon?" Ye Cheng's eyes noticed that there were three other fruits on the tray that were shaped like ovals and had bright yellow skins.

Li Shengtian picked up one of the fruits at this time and wanted to throw it out, "What is this, Lao Tzu wants wine"

"Big brother, wait a minute!"

Ye Cheng hurriedly stopped it, then took the fruit in Li Shengtian's hand, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, it was indeed the lemon he knew.

Ye Cheng looked at the old man with a lemon, and asked strangely, "Old man, you don't have to be afraid, I want to ask where this lemon came from?" ”

"It's not a lemon, it's a sour fruit. The old man planted one in the backyard of the tavern, and seeing that the weather was hot and there was no alcohol in the tavern now, he had to take it out for the three of them to quench their thirst. ”

"What! If there is no wine, what kind of tavern will be opened" Hearing the old man say that there was no wine, Li Shengtian slapped the square table again angrily.

Li Shengdi, who was sitting on the side, hurriedly pressed his brother, "Brother, don't be angry, you also know that Fushou Village is different from the past." If there is no wine, there will be no wine, and when the cottage grows, there is no wine to drink, so bear with it first"

Seeing that Li Shengtian's anger was suppressed by his younger brother, Ye Cheng hurriedly broke away from the old man and asked him to prepare some food first.
