Volume 1 The Day the Broken Sword Was Forged, When the Knight Returned Chapter 2 The Sparrow Inn

Lao Lu Tou found Qi Wang a job as a junior in an inn.

The inn is not big, it is called a sparrow, and the name is worthy of its name, it is a place the size of a sparrow, but it also has all kinds of organs, both what should and what should not be.

The owner of the inn is a thin old man who is happy, there is only one cook in the store, and the old man will help when he is too busy, and his cooking skills are no worse than the cook, before Qi Wang came, the work of serving tea and pouring water was done by the old man's daughter and another little two, maybe the reason why the business of the small shop has been passable in recent years, a large part of it is on his daughter.

A soft and timid, docile girl with gentle eyebrows and eyes, looks strangely delicate, and the thin black and ugly old man is simply two extremes, such a little beauty stopped at the counter, and there were a lot more guests in the room.

That little two is very ordinary, a very introverted young man, who usually rarely speaks.

According to Lao Lu Tou, this thin old man named Qu Coupon was also a grumpy lord when he was young, and in the early years, he played a few years for the leader of an underground force in Shell City, and then the old father of the family died suddenly, and he also wanted to live a stable life, so he ran home and took over his own small inn, because of this thin incense, so the inn has been smooth sailing over the years, there is no major event, and occasionally take some money to pass the surrounding green skin ruffians, and the days are also stable.

It is worth mentioning that when the qu coupon brought a breath of an underground person, when he first started to do business, he always fought with the guests because of trivial things, and it was good to win, once he suffered a loss, he did not open the door for three or five days, and even lay in bed for half a year, and then he did not open for two years, and the inn was already facing the crisis of bankruptcy, and the qu coupon at that time regretted it, but he had no choice but to be in debt, but fortunately he met the old Lu Tou, who had a little money in his hand at the time, and hired a steward for him, and he was also on the side to help, Finally saved the store, and the clothes were gone, so that the song coupon is grateful.

So as soon as Lao Lu Tou led Qi Wang to come, Qu Bao accepted the person without saying a word.

Of course, Lao Lu Tou also saw the woman who didn't look very good after hearing Qu Tou's answer, and turned around and left, and after the woman left with the child in her hand, Lao Lu Tou asked Qu Coupon in a low voice, Qu Tou patted his chest and said that there was no problem, and Lao Lu Tou sighed and didn't say anything more.

Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Qu Bao has a small inn that can feed a family, but I don't know how much spare money there is.

After Qi Wang saw the woman at that time, he understood why there was the girl with beautiful eyebrows behind the counter.

Qu Bao's appearance and his daughter-in-law stand together, and the contrast is indeed a bit strong.

No wonder Lao Lu Tou said before he came that his brother's daughter-in-law was probably just greedy for the small family business, and it was not easy to have a stable life in today's Noxus.

Qi Wang just stayed.

He worked honestly during the day, and at night he hid in the room, holding the relic in a daze, for some reason, he always felt that when he was holding the relic, there seemed to be something flowing in his body, and he felt it carefully, as if it was a warm current moving around, but this feeling was too light.

Qi Wang, who didn't know anything, now just wanted to save enough money for the journey, and then go to the Sacred Desert to find that great magician Ruiz.

In the blink of an eye, half a month has passed.

"Hey!"

The old Lu Tou, who was settling accounts behind the counter, greeted Qi Wang, who was trotting downstairs, and shouted, "Boy, send these to the twelve tables." ”

Qi Wang picked up the vegetable tray in front of him, nodded, and went upstairs again to send it to the guests, during which he met the girl in Tsing Yi who walked down from above, the two nodded slightly, smiled, and said hello.

After delivering the dishes, in the small complaints of the guests, Qi Wang kept smiling and apologizing, and left backwards, nothing more than complaining about the slow food, this is already the norm, just get used to it.

When he stood at the top of the stairs, Qi Wang, who wanted to go down, habitually glanced at the corner of the hall on the second floor on the right hand, and when he did it for the fourth day, he found that there was a black-robed person who would often sit there, and it would be three or five days of non-stop, and in this half a month, Qi Wang saw him at least eight or nine times, and when he chatted with them two days ago, he had made a bet with them with a smile, betting on whether it was a man or a woman, and he had already seen the black-robed man holding the chopsticks in his palm, and said that it was a man, how could a woman's palm be so rough, and it was full of large and small scars, calloused, Qi Wang also thought it should be a man, but this person didn't open his mouth, and when he came, he ordered the inn standard on the menu on the table, two catties of beef in sauce and two side dishes, and the wine that came with it was drunk all at once.

Qu Qiao told them mysteriously: "I can't say well about men and women now, but I know that this guy is a practitioner, and he is wondering what kind of swordsman he should be." ”

Qu Qi, the girl who was sitting next to her at the time, said very firmly, it was a woman, and asked her why, if she had seen her face, she shook her head and only said that it was intuition.

The days are still going by day by day, and the black-robed people still appear often, and then they simply live in the inn, leaving early and returning late, when she said that she was going to stay in the hotel that day, Qu Qiao blinked her eyes several times, this voice, is it really a woman?

Qu Bao finally lost five silver coins to the two little two, and everything was smooth and stable.

January is like quicksand in the middle of your fingers.

Qi Wang, who was tired for a day, hung up the closing sign and went back to his house, this month's salary has been settled, ten silver coins a day, plus some additional tips, around four hundred, Qi Wang estimates that if it goes on like this, he will be able to save enough money for the road in half a year.

After putting away the money, Qi Wang lay on the bed, holding the relics in both hands, and fell asleep, during this time, he felt more and more clearly about the warm current in his body, and now he can be sure that there is indeed something flowing in his body, but he is not afraid, what Master Li left for him, can it still harm him?

Dead.

In the fully enclosed room, the flame of the oil lamp on the table swayed slightly, and after the fire stabilized, the white-haired woman who had taken off her hat sat on the stool at some point, quietly staring at the young man on the bed, or rather, at the palm of the young man's folded hand.

The golden relics shone slightly, flashing and flashing.

Rui Wen's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, silent.

The light in Li Qing's mouth, is this the person?

Rui Wen is such a person with such vision and strength, he can see through the power of the relics at a glance and nourish Qi Wang's body all the time, this kid's body can only be regarded as ordinary, and he has no martial arts roots, so he can't become a martial arts person.

There are thousands of kinds of power in the world, although martial arts is only one of them, but it is the largest base, the most basic one, the warm current that Qi Wang feels now is the fundamental weight of martial artists.

Pneumatic engine.

This is a great opportunity given to him by Li Qing.

Rui Wen sat all night, and only got up and left at dawn, and Qi Wang on the bed also slowly woke up, his biological clock has been extremely regular over the years, light is awake, dark is sleep, Qi Wang after getting up early opens the door and sweeps the floor as usual, it didn't take long for Qu Que to go downstairs from upstairs, Qu Que also went downstairs after a while, the two and Qi Wang nodded and chatted casually, and the father and daughter left here, and the morning was the freshest and cheapest time for vegetables, fruits, and vegetables. When there were more and more pedestrians on the street outside, Xu Sheng also came, and when he saw Qi Wang working with his head down, he also silently joined the action.

After a while, Qu Bao drove back, returned with a full load, beckoned the two little two to move the vegetables and pulp in the carriage to the back kitchen, Qi Wang and Xu Sheng walked to the door one after the other, Qu Que who was standing next to the horse held a bright apple in both hands and bit it, seeing the two coming, he freed one hand, took out two from a large bag of apples next to his hand, and threw them to the two one after another, Qi Wang smiled and said thank you, and Xu Sheng, who had a dull personality, just nodded silently.

Qu Que's eyebrows and eyes are slightly blooming, and his smile is moving.

When the group was busy, four or five people came from outside the store and found the qu coupon behind the counter.

Xu Sheng, who walked into the back kitchen with Qi Wang, walked into the back kitchen with half a fan of pork, stared at those people for a while, his eyes swept back and forth on the short middle-aged man who was talking to Qu Bao, and muttered, "It's them again." ”

"Huh?"

Qi Wang looked at Xu Sheng curiously, but Xu Sheng stopped talking and continued to walk forward until he put the pork in the back kitchen.

"Daddy......"

Qu Que, who heard the movement from upstairs, trotted down, his face full of worry: "Those people from the old medicine hall again?" ”

Qu Bao's expressionless expression eased slightly, looked at the beautiful girl in front of him, and showed a smile: "It's nothing, these guys are thinking about this place in our house all day long, don't worry, Dad will solve it." ”

Qu Que pursed his lips and said nothing, his expression gloomy.

She doesn't think that this person in front of her will only be happy on weekdays, and she can use a sentence to forget about everything, and the father who has revealed it can solve this matter, in the eyes of the nearby villagers and villagers, and in the eyes of the workers in the small shop, Qu Qiao is an honest person with a good temper.

If there were no small words from Old Lu Tou and Qi Wang, just based on Qi Wang's contact these days, Qi Wang would definitely regard the thin old man in front of him as an honest ordinary person, but Qi Wang, who had heard his deeds when he was young, had a point in his heart at this time.

As long as the man in the world is a normal man, who is not arrogant and reckless when he is young, but slowly converges as he grows older, and when he is older, he recalls the past, sighs about the past, and chats about some of the past.

Like Qu Qiao, who usually doesn't care about anything and can laugh at everything, once he makes a mistake in something, the consequences will be very serious.

Qu Bao motioned to her daughter and the two little two who came over to do their own work, and they were also busy with what they should do.

Before leaving, Qi Wang took one last glance at Qu Coupon who was dialing the abacus behind the counter, for some reason, his eyesight became extremely sharp during this time, and he could clearly see that Qu Coupon was still working hard when the abacus had reached the top, and his thumb had begun to turn blue.

Xu Sheng, who was walking beside Qi Wang, suddenly sighed and said: "The people from the old medicine hall on the side have come three times, their store is going to expand, and the three shops on the right have let them even grab and buy them down, it's not enough, we have to tear down the east wall on the left hand side to make room for them to be twenty meters empty, isn't this bullying, the inn is so big in total, let go of twenty meters, how can this store be opened." ”

Qi Wang was thoughtful.

He knows that there is a saying, but nothing more than three.

At noon today, the business of the inn is much hotter than in the past, there are no empty guests, two small two plus a Qu Que, busy and busy, still can't run, and finally even the Qu Coupon himself has to go into battle, so that it can be enough.

"Guest, slow down, hot."

Qi Wang walked to the table with a bowl of broth, and just before he could put the broth down, a thin black man at the table called out to him: "Hey, wait! ”

Qi Wang looked back and smiled: "What else does the guest officer have to order?" ”

The fat man next to the thin black man stirred in the broth with chopsticks, suddenly pinched out a small head, and asked loudly, "What is this?" What kind of meat does your inn use? ”

The woman who looked like a village girl opposite the fat man screamed violently: "Mouse! Rat's head! ”

The movement of these three people was really a bit loud, the originally noisy and noisy hall was much quieter, many people at the table looked back here, the fat man carried the little head with chopsticks, shook under the gaze of everyone, and was angry: "Big guys, look at it, is this a rat head!" ”

Everyone looked at each other.

Xu Sheng, who was standing at the table in the distance, was kicked to the ground, the hot dish in his hand fell to the ground, and there were pieces of vegetable soup and porcelain bowls flowing everywhere, and it was a young man next to him who kicked him over, he angrily pinched a small tail in the scraps on the table, and scolded: "Damn, I thought I ate it wrong, it's just a vegetable root or something else, I don't care if I take it out and put it aside, I didn't expect it to be a rat's tail!" Your black-hearted inn, crazy about money? ”

Xu Sheng, who fell to the ground, propped his hands on the ground and was stunned.

The rest of the people at the table will be suspicious, and they will also start to look for the food on their tables, and many people will begin to gag and look unhappy, and with the third and fourth people jumping out, even many old customers who often eat and drink here on weekdays have begun to make mistakes in their hearts, and for a while, the scolding is endless.

Standing at the entrance of the kitchen just holding the dish and smiling out, Qu Bao stopped, stood in place, the smile on his face slowly disappeared, at a glance, the original lively hall has been chaotic at the moment, the first few tables have already started to smash the tables and chairs, the rest of the people are scattered, scolding and leaving, and a group of people ran to the counter to find Qu Qiao, loudly begging for an explanation.

"Imp!"

The thin black man held Qi Wang's collar in one hand, glared and said, "Call out your shopkeeper!" Ask him if he still wants to open this store! The conscience has been eaten by animals? ”

The fat man on the side snorted coldly, picked up a bowl of hot dishes on the table and buckled it on Qi Wang's head, the porcelain bowl was broken, the soup was mixed with blood and water flowed down, the black and thin man casually shook off Qi Wang in his hand, glanced around the already messed up, and glanced at the fat man with a gloomy smile.

On the second floor pavilion, the black-robed man supported the railing with both hands, looking down at the young man downstairs who got up and wiped the sewage from his face with his sleeve.

She was eager to see what the teenager would do next.
