Soon, Lao Chen came over with a fragrant meal: "Mr. Xiao, little brother, let's eat." Old man Xiao looked at me and nodded: "Okay!" Lao Chen, you go and call your brother and daughter-in-law to come over and eat together! ”

Lao Chen suddenly realized and patted his head: "Look at my memory, why did I forget to bring the wine!" So be it! You two should taste the food first! I'll go get the wine right away. After saying that, he put the food in his hand on the table and hurriedly ran out.

Because I was going to fetch the big centipede's inner dan-centipede beads at night, I didn't dare to drink, but drank some licorice herbal tea.

After eating, I touched my round belly and looked at Old Man Xiao with a full burp.

Good guy, Old Man Xiao is pushing the cup and changing the lamp with Lao Chen, and they are chatting happily. And the jar of glutinous rice wine was also drunk by them. At this time, both of them were blushing and thick-necked, because this glutinous rice wine was brewed using the local method, and it wouldn't go up after drinking it, so I didn't care too much. Anyway, it's still early, and you can sleep if you drink too much. Besides, the big centipede only comes out at night to worship the moon, and we have to wait until night to get the pearls.

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food. Old man Xiao patted Lao Chen's shoulder: "Old Chen! We're going to clean up that big centipede at night, can you find a place to rest for the two of us first?" ”

Lao Chen's tongue was big, and when he heard Old Man Xiao's words, he hurriedly replied: "Xiao... Mr. Xiao, you... You... Feel relieved. I... There is a place to stay here. Sister-in-law Chen hurriedly scolded Lao Chen loudly: "The amount of alcohol is not good, and you still have to drink so much." Why don't you drink to death? ”

Lao Chen grabbed his wife's hand and said with a smile: "Donkey, you... Feel relieved. I... Not yet... Drunk! You... Hurry up ... Put the room... Pack it up. Let... Mr. Siu... And... This little brother ... Go and take a break. After saying that, he fell asleep on the table, and the thunderous snoring sounded slowly.

Sister-in-law Chen pinched Lao Chen's shoulder vigorously: "If you can't drink wine, you still have to drink, I don't think you know how to get drunk!" I'll settle accounts with you when you wake up! Hum! ”

Then pour me and Old Man Xiao a cup of strong tea: "The room has always been cleaned up, you two just go in and rest." I still have to wash the dishes and chopsticks, so I won't accompany you two. The sun is bright and the temperature is high at noon. You'd better go and rest first!" After speaking, he pointed to another house in this courtyard and said, "This is the one house, the door is not locked, you two can just go in." ”

"Thank you, Sister-in-law Chen! I'm really sorry to trouble you!" I nodded and smiled at Sister-in-law Chen. Then accompanied the old man Xiao slowly into the room to rest...

When I woke up, it was dusk. I turned my head to look at Old Man Xiao on the bed next to me, but found that Old Man Xiao was not on the bed. I wondered in my heart: If this old Xiao doesn't sleep well here, what is he going to do?

Just when I was wondering, Old Man Xiao walked in with a smile on his face: "Boy, have you slept enough?" When you've slept enough, get up! Lao Chen: They've already made dinner, let's hurry up and eat something. Then get ready to go! The moon is about to come out, and the centipede should be about to come out to worship the moon. ”

I hurriedly got dressed, and then followed Old Man Xiao out of the door.

"Mr. Xiao, little brother. As you commanded, the meal is now ready to eat! Aren't you going to clean up that big centipede later? Come, eat more, be sure to eat a little more. Lao Chen comforted us while serving us vegetables.

"Oh! Old Chen. It's the kind of road we haven't taken for more than a decade. I've almost forgotten the route now, and I might have to trouble you to get us there later. But don't worry, you're only responsible for taking us to the mountain where you found the giant centipede. Old man Xiao slowly sat down and looked at Lao Chen and said.

"Okay, no problem, I'll get you there myself. But you must pay attention to safety, that big centipede is not a good stubble. Lao Chen poured a cup of tea for Old Man Xiao and me, and then said with palpitations.

"You can take care of taking us to the side of the mountain, you don't have to worry about the rest, and the two of us will take care of the rest!" I smiled.

Dinner was finally finished, and the bright moon outside had risen from the treetops in the distance.

Old man Xiao patted me: "Is the kid full?" It's time for us to go. This is a great opportunity not to be missed tonight. You have to know that the centipede spirit only comes out once in ten years."

I nodded, "Okay, let's eat!" What about Lao Chen? Didn't you ask him to take us? ”

Saying that Cao Cao Cao arrived, Lao Chen came over wearing a camouflage uniform. I saw that he had a waist knife pinned to his waist, and he carried a hunting gun on his shoulder. "Let's go! Mr. Siu. Anyway, it's not far, let's walk for more than ten minutes. Old Chen said with a smile to the old man.

"Lao Chen, are you going to hunt there?" I asked, half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"No! These things can protect you!" Old Chen said to me matter-of-factly.

"But you can't deal with that big centipede? You want to! You saw so many thunderbolts slashing at it ten years ago and it was fine, what about your little firebolt and waist knife?"

"That's good! Then bother you. Boy, this is a piece of people's hearts, why don't you appreciate it? Don't worry, I've got something good for him to deal with that big centipede. Old man Xiao laughed mysteriously.

"That's right! Brother. Mr. Xiao just gave me a bottle of divine water, and I applied it to the knife. After speaking, he shook the fire gun on his shoulder and said, "The iron sand in this gun has also been mixed with divine water, don't worry." I'll be able to protect you."

"Since it's the divine water given by Mr. Xiao, let's go!" I nodded and got ready to go.

"Little brother, don't you use a miner's lamp?" Lao Chen raised a few old-fashioned miner's lamps in his hand and shouted.

"Lao Chen! You don't have to worry about him. His eyes are different from ours, and he can see more clearly in the black light than in the daytime. Old man Xiao said to Lao Chen with a smile.

"Huh? Is it really that powerful? Gee. Lao Chen looked at my back and couldn't help but admire.

"His master is the same, all of their disciples of the Mountain Walking Sect have a pair of demon pupils. Let's go! Let's not care about him" Old man Xiao took the miner's lamp in Lao Chen's hand and put it on his head, and then followed with a smile on his face.
