Chapter 15 Shijia Village
The three bowls of noodle soup on the table have become clear and cold, and the noodles are glued together, and there are indeed a few chopsticks. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info steamed buns also only take a few bites, not like they came to eat.
Is it here to find fault? The shopkeeper looked at the three of them from a distance, thoughtful, and didn't know if he wanted to knock them out. He is not afraid, the ruthless characters in the mountains have never been less, if he was afraid, this store would have closed long ago. He secretly picked up a brick by the side of the shed and put it on his waist, pretending to smile and stepped forward and asked, "Is it not the taste of noodles?" "Dare to say yes, I guarantee that you can shoot three meat and five vegetables, and you can't tell the difference between the southeast and the northwest.
Zhu Wanting didn't care, picking up the noodles in the bowl and playing. Usually the shopkeeper of the big restaurant doesn't greet her silently, let alone the turtle shop in the mountain bag. The tiger girl also followed the character of the master, silently and gnawed on the steamed buns.
"Okay." Xu Xiaofan simply thought that the shopkeeper was here to add salt, and he didn't care about the taste of the food, his heart was full of the Taoist priest's prophecy, and he would rather believe it or not, he knew that the shopkeeper had stayed here for a long time, and it was more or less a mountain bag to inquire, so he asked: "Do you know what Taoist priests are around here?" ā
"Oh!" There was a hint of wit in the eyes of the shopkeeper, and he said, "You mean the person who just sat here?" ā
"A person?"
The shopkeeper seemed to talk about the 'old acquaintance', and smiled: "This person is a Taoist priest of 'Meifeng Guan', who has nothing to do all year round, take a look and see, and his spirit is shining." When you meet someone who is destined, you will give him divination, but right? His hexagram is half accurate and half inaccurate. That's why everyone calls him a man. Two years ago, I also said that I could meet nobles in the tea pavilion. As a result, I still worked as a runner for my father. Whatever he says, you should be the wind in your ears, and don't go to your heart. Look, did he just say something that affected your appetite? This side helps you warm up? ā
"No, it's the same for hot and cold, thank you brother." Xu Xiaofan's hanging half of his heart was settled, and he didn't know if he was lucky or unfortunate to meet someone, whatever he was, the most important thing was to eat and drink. He calmed down, took a long noodle stick, and drank a few sips of noodle soup, which tasted good.
Zhu Wanting picked up a bowl of cold noodles, and when she saw that Xu Xiaofan was eating very deliciously, she picked up a small stick and licked it, it was very unpalatable! I don't know how he can eat, his eyes are white, the next person is the next person, I just had a good impression of him, and the feelings are damned........
Xu Xiaofan saw that most of the food of the two did not move, and at first glance, it was too good to eat in the house, and he was picky. Also, if you are used to eating in a five-star hotel, you will inevitably lose your appetite for a takeaway. However, his stomach was seven or eight points full, and he persuaded: "There may not be tea sheds and restaurants waiting for us on this road, if you want to eat, eat quickly, don't be hungry." ā
"Miss Ben just won't eat, Tiger Girl go!" Zhu Wanting walked majestically towards the outside of the tea shed, daring to teach her a lesson, and didn't bother to pay attention to it.
Unexpectedly, when the shopkeeper saw this, he shouted in time: "You haven't paid yet!" ā
"Hahaha, eldest lady, you don't pay this money, or I'll pay it for you?" Xu Xiaofan teased.
".........." Zhu Wanting thought about being cool, and got into the carriage all the way, but she didn't expect to be stopped by shouting, and her momentum was immediately halved. She turned her back to the tea shed, gritted her teeth and said angrily: "How much?" ā
"Twenty Wen."
"Give him a penny." Zhu Wanting instructed Hu Niu to take the money and give it to the shopkeeper, got into the carriage herself, and posed like a big lady.
The shopkeeper is not a greedy person, he usually receives a tip of one or two pennies and said that in the past, the tip of eighty wen, or the first time he received it, he was inevitably a little uneasy, and shouted from afar: "It's too much, you wait, I'll find you!" ā
Xu Xiaofan crossed his hands in front of his chest, and only two words came to his mind - rich and capricious. He shook his head and said, "Little second brother, you can take it." Her house, it's not bad for money, it's more useful for you to keep it than for her to keep it. ā
"Then I... Accepted? ā
"Well, believe me, I'm right, wait until I go back to the city, and come back next time."
"That's waiting for you. Brother, take care all the way. ā
Xu Xiaofan waved his hand and smiled, thinking that the shopkeeper was quite interesting, but he didn't know that the brick in his hand had not been put down from beginning to end.........
The horse rested for a while, and his strength improved a lot.
Most of the way to Luoyang is in the woods. If the sky is faintly visible outside, it will be dark in the woods. Taking advantage of the fact that he could still see clearly in the forest, Xu Xiaofan had no choice but to pump the horse's butt in order to leave the forest as soon as possible. In this year, the ecological environment is good, in the middle of the night, the crows crow, the grass in the old forest rattling, and I don't know what fierce beasts will run out of it, which is very unsafe.
Gotta find a place quickly.
I saw the shadow of the crescent moon outside the car, and it could be said that I couldn't see my fingers in the car, and I couldn't help but panic.
Zhu Wanting said noisily in the car: "Hurry up and find a place to live, I don't want to spend the night in this ghost forest." ā
Who wants? Xu Xiaofan saw a light and fire looming in the distance, clenched the reins, and said with a little excitement in his heart: "I saw the lights, and there will be a place to rest." ā
"Hurry up." Zhu Wanting seemed to be a little afraid of the dark, and her small body kept leaning on the tiger girl. The tiger girl didn't shy away, and her fleshy arms wrapped around her neck, giving her a sense of security.
Xu Xiaofan didn't have the energy to be distracted, it was dark, and he was afraid that one would turn his head and plant himself in the hole without paying attention. No matter how spiritual this horse is, it is also a horse, and it is inevitable to meet a mountain mouse that is frightened and out of proportion, and the most important thing is to see the road by yourself, so I don't have time to take care of the young lady inside.
Closer and closer, closer and closer.
Xu Xiaofan approached the intersection of the mountain village and found that it was a few torches swaying in the wind. He tried to drive into the village, but was stopped by seven or eight people.
A bronzed-complexion strong man with honest facial features, like an honest man who grows crops. He took a shovel and pointed at Xu Xiaofan and said, "Stop, stop." ā
Another old man approached slowly with a torch, and a face full of spots and wrinkles appeared in the firelight, his mouth moved, and his voice was a little hoarse: "Where did you come from?" ā
Xu Xiaofan replied: "Passers-by, I hope to be able to borrow a night here." ā
"Borrow a night?" The old man and the strong man glanced at each other and said, "I'm afraid not." ā
Xu Xiaofan was very puzzled, the well-known folk customs of this era were simple, he remembered that the last time he went to a small village, those villagers saw him killing chickens and ducks for her, it was very hot, but he didn't expect it to be very different here. He pouted and asked, "Why?" ā
The old man didn't say much, and he seemed to be a little unsure of what to pay attention to.
The honest strong man preemptively said: "Recently, bandits have been rampant, can you be the pioneer of the bandits?" As soon as the words changed, the strong man looked at the old man again and whispered, "Could he be a bandit?" ā
The old man was entangled for a few seconds, preferring to kill the mistake rather than let it go, the safety of the villagers is the first, and he carried out an ideological struggle and said: "Take it!" ā
