Chapter Eighty-Eight: The Rules of the Inn
It's noon.
In a small town in the south of the Yangtze River, the first sunshine in these three days was finally ushered in.
The two brothers and sisters who were trapped in the town by the heavy rain finally realized the meaning of the words 'Yanyu Jiangnan'.
In fact, since Shi Wuwei and the others left Hangzhou City, they have encountered several heavy rains one after another.
Therefore, this had to make the two people who wanted to hurry as soon as possible stop.
Now, the rain had stopped, and the sky was cloudless, revealing a calming pale blue.
Many of the travelers who stayed in the inn for three days have already packed their bags and embarked on the journey again.
And Shi Wuwei is naturally no exception.
It's just that they are about to travel, so they still choose to eat in the lobby of the inn first.
Mu Yiyi next to the square table held half a bowl of rice in one hand and sandwiched a green vegetable on the plate into the bowl with the other.
Later, I saw her first wrap the rice in the green vegetables with chopsticks, and then pick up the food together.
But just as she wanted to put the food in her mouth, she remembered something and put down her chopsticks again.
She looked at her senior brother who was also eating beside her, and said with a smile.
"Senior brother, do you say that if Wushi becomes the head of the family in the future, will he be as uninhibited as he is now?"
When she said the word 'uninhibited', she laughed even more.
When Shi Wuwei saw his junior sister talking about Wushi, he unconsciously remembered the troubles that the other party had done over the years, as well as the unruly remarks he had said.
So, he smiled helplessly, "This....if Zhang Zhenren disciplines well, presumably Wushi should also be restrained...... bar".
In fact, from the word 'bar' that he uttered after a long time, it can be seen that he also has a high degree of suspicion about this matter.
After all, over the years, Su Wushi's arrogant and uninhibited image has been deeply rooted in his mind.
In fact, at this moment, they didn't know what happened outside Hangzhou after they left.
In addition, these days, in the Jiangnan area, heavy rain has been repeated, which invisibly and naturally blocked these news.
However, while the two brothers and sisters were talking and laughing about the past, outside the inn, there was a middle-aged man with a long knife on his back who hurriedly came over.
The man's figure has become thinner, his pace is not slow, and his foot strength is not weak, and he obviously has a certain amount of cultivation.
At first, Shi Wuwei and the two just glanced at each other, and then continued to eat by themselves.
However, when this man panted out of breath and said a word to all the diners in the hall, it caught the attention of both of them.
"No... All right... Not good... Something's wrong... Something big is going to happen!! ”。
This person held the pillar with one hand, threw out a few copper coins at the shopkeeper, and made a gesture of wanting to drink water, as if he was really out of breath at the moment.
Xiao Er took the copper coin, immediately poured a bowl of water, and handed it forward.
After the middle-aged man drank all the water, he didn't care about wiping the water stains from his mouth, but said directly to everyone in the hall.
"Ladies and gentlemen! Guess what I saw on the road!! ”。
In fact, the reason why this man came directly to this inn to shout instead of going somewhere else was because the name of this inn was called Fulai Inn.
And everyone in the rivers and lakes knows that most of the people who live in the Fulai Inn are also from the rivers and lakes.
Therefore, what this person said must be related to the rivers and lakes.
I saw a square table in the distance, a sturdy man said, "Tell me, what have you seen?" ”。
The middle-aged man saw that someone had responded, so he continued.
"I saw a large group of Buddhist monks rushing to Minshan. And looking at that formation, it doesn't seem like it's going to congratulate! ”。
The sturdy man asked again.
"The well water of Buddhism and Taoism does not interfere with the river water, so what are these monks going to Minshan?"
As soon as these words came out, the middle-aged man looked at the other party with a little disdain and said.
"This brother, you don't even know about the two major events that happened a few days ago, right?"
Like Shi Wuwei, the sturdy man was trapped in the heavy rain for several days, so naturally he didn't know about this so-called big thing.
So, he said again.
"What are the two big things?".
The middle-aged man scanned all the people in this place, and he found in the eyes of these people that it seemed that none of them knew what was going on on the rivers and lakes.
I secretly said in my heart, "I didn't expect this place to be remote, and I couldn't even convey such news."
After thinking about it, he simply talked about the matter, "Wang Zhengnan of the Qingzhu Peak of the Taoist Sect and the Master of Empty Wisdom of the Buddha Sect have been dead for nearly twenty days!" ”。
As soon as this remark came out, the audience was in an uproar.
Some of the people in the rivers and lakes here are only disciples of small sects, and most of them are idle people in martial arts, and they have no sects. But these people were all shocked after hearing the news of the death of these two great masters who were high up in the past.
"And how did these two die?".
"Yes, isn't the war in the South over? And how did they die".
…
The middle-aged man saw that there was a lot of discussion at the bottom, so he had no choice but to say, "No one knows about this matter, but now that the Buddha Sect has brought so many people to Minshan, I am afraid that the death of these two people has a lot to do with it."
However, just as he said this, a figure suddenly flashed in front of his eyes.
Looking closely, he found that the person standing in front of him, although young, was the strongest person in this hall, more than ten times stronger than him.
Shi Wuwei had already come to this person, and said in a cold tone.
"What you say is a little false!!".
The middle-aged man saw that the other party was menacing, so he had to look at the shopkeeper in the distance, and asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper, can I exchange two jars of wine for my two messages!" ”。
The shopkeeper didn't look at the man, but said indifferently while holding a pen and writing on a piece of paper.
"The news of the death of Wang Zhengnan and Master Kongzhi has been confirmed many times by the Mo family, and they are about to announce it to the world. But the news of Buddhism's trip to Minshan is the second time I have heard of it today. Therefore, you can only exchange these two messages for a jar of wine! ”。
In the Fulai Inn, there is an unwritten rule.
If people from the rivers and lakes come to stay here, they can enjoy a discount of 80%.
But if the person staying in the hotel provides the inn with all the major news on the rivers and lakes, he can exchange a jar of wine or stay in the hotel for one night.
And the two pieces of information this person said, one of which has been confirmed, there is no wine to exchange. But the other is to help the shopkeeper confirm the news from the front, so naturally he can change a jar of wine.
It's just that it's good to be able to exchange for a jar of fine wine. And this middle-aged man is even more fast, and he has already exchanged a lot of wine from the Fulai inns in various places.
..
Shi Wuwei turned his head, and when he saw that the shopkeeper did not deny this person's words, he said in a deep voice to the old shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, how many people did the Buddha Sect dispatch, and whether it was really going to Minshan."
The old shopkeeper still did not take his eyes off the paper, but said indifferently again.
"More than 500 people, if you count the time, I am afraid that right now, it has reached the foot of Minshan Mountain."
As soon as these words came out, Shi Wuwei came to Mu Yiyi's body with a gloomy face, and was silent for a long time before he said.
"Senior sister! We have to go to Minshan! ”。
Mu Yiyi's face was also ugly.
She didn't expect that after only 20 days, such a major event would happen on the rivers and lakes.
And these dead people are all familiar with them.
So, she nodded at her senior brother and said.
"Yes. I hope it's too late to get there at this moment! ”。
After saying that, the two of them ignored the ones on the table, and most of the food was left, but walked out of the inn directly.
………………..
In fact, this town, from the destination of the two, is already very close, very close.
However, when Shi Wuwei heard the news of Taoism and Buddhism, he resolutely chose to go to Minshan first.
Because there, there are his lifelong friends.
And he knew that Master Kongzhi was dead, and the little monk would definitely go to Minshan with his master.
Thinking of this, a chill in his heart made his face even more gloomy.
He couldn't imagine what kind of scene the little monk would be when he faced Su Wushi again.
So, he had to go to Minshan.
As for the destination of the two, it is not too late to go after this matter is resolved.
