Xiangyan, Zhuge Xian, and Xu Zhan spent six days finally arriving at Nanji City, a small city on the edge of Huizhou.

"I didn't let Chen take a look at the weather when I went out, it has been raining heavily for so many days as soon as I came out, and it has started to rain again, hurry up and find a place to take shelter." Xiangyan looked at the majestic rain that was falling again, and said angrily.

But fortunately, they had already arrived in the city, so they found a teahouse to shelter from the rain and drink a cup of hot tea by the way.

"Three masters, what do you want to do?"

The diligent Xiao Er saw these three extraordinarily dressed boys sitting down, and immediately came over to serve tea and pour water.

"What do you have here?" Xiangyan asked.

The people of this state are peaceful and stable, and they are not affected by the troubled times at all.

"Line Hui is not fragrant and rao osmanthus wine, red cherry blossoms colorless waves, the specialty of this Nanji City is the late autumn osmanthus cake and osmanthus wine, smell it, the fragrance is fragrant, take a bite, and leave a fragrance on your lips and teeth." The shopkeeper introduced it in a colorful way, and also chanted a poem.

"It's true that you can smell the fragrance of osmanthus all the way, or let's have some." Xiangyan thought it was good, so she ordered it and tried it.

"Okay, a piece of osmanthus cake, a pot of osmanthus wine! Does the guest officer need anything else? ”

"What are you two eating?" Xiangyan didn't know much about the dishes in Huizhou, so she asked Zhuge Xian and Xu Zhan.

Zhuge Xian: "Then let's have a fragrant cinnamon crucian carp, and add a pot of osmanthus tea." ”

Xu Zhan: "I'll have two braised pig's trotters." ”

"Okay, guest wait." The shopkeeper happily hurriedly went to the kitchen to report the food.

"Have you heard? In that hilly area, some people heard the desolate sound of the piano and flute, and some people saw a beautiful man with crane hair and a childish face and different eyes leading a little boy to wander in the osmanthus forest, which was terrifying. ”

While waiting for the food to be served, Xiangyan and the others heard the diners at the next table talking about some strange stories.

"No, I've heard it too, although the desolation is a little desolate, but the sound of the piano is so good, I can hear it fascinated."

"It's been so many years, since the death of the osmanthus girl, there has been that kind of vision in the osmanthus forest, retribution." The diner sighed.

"Yes, the prosperity of Nanji City, the osmanthus girl is indispensable, but unfortunately everyone misunderstands her, she is really self-inflicted."

"There is no way to do this, who knows that the osmanthus disease that the people got at that time was a circulating disease."

"Okay, don't mention the things of that year, I heard a few passers-by say that there is a tomb in the depths of the osmanthus forest, which may be the tomb of the osmanthus girl."

"Guest, here's the food!"

Xiangyan was listening hard, but she was pulled back by the loud voice of the shopkeeper.

"Childe's serious illness has not healed, it is better to drink tea." Zhuge Xian pulled the osmanthus wine to him and Xu Zhan's side, and pushed the osmanthus tea towards Xiangyan.

"Taste it." Xiangyan snatched the flask and poured a small glass.

After taking a sip, the fragrance of osmanthus filled the tongue cavity, and there was a little stimulation of alcohol.

She can drink this wine too!

"I heard that Lord Gongshu has set up a homeless house on the outskirts of Nanji City again."

"Lord Gongshu is really kind-hearted, those refugees from the north, don't care what they do."

"That's your reasoning, how many of those homeless people volunteered to become the Huizhou Army? This is all a ploy of Lord Gongshu! Lord Gongshu's move is intended to buy people's hearts! ”

"If you want me to say, this Lord Gongshu is just doing good deeds, and you think of Lord Gongshu too badly."

"Really? But in this troubled world, it is difficult to have such a good official who works for the benefit of the people. ”

"It's hard to have it doesn't mean that there isn't, I've seen Master Gongshu, he looks kind and kind, just one glance, you will think he is a good person."

Xiangyan held the osmanthus cake in one hand, and the osmanthus tea in the other hand while pricking up her ears to eat and listen.

Zhuge Xian: "Childe, but you want to know about Gongshu?" ”

"No, I prefer them to talk about the Osmanthus Girl."

"Then let's go down and inquire." Zhuge Xian got up, but was stopped by Xiangyan.

"No need, just listen to the rumors of strange powers."

"Listen to a few of you with an out-of-town accent, right? Could it be that you want to inquire about the Osmanthus Girl? An unkempt old man said to Xiangyan's table outside the door.

This sound is very strange, and it can be transmitted to Xiangyan's ears clearly and unmistakably in a noisy environment.

Moreover, the old man's voice did not resemble that of a humble beggar, as he looked.

It's that kind!

Self-evident majesty!

"Xu Zhan."

Xiangyan glanced at Xu Zhan and asked him to look at the old man outside the door with his heart.

Xu Zhan looked at the old man, there was nothing special, he could only shake his head at Xiangyan.

Xiangyan is very suspicious of this, is it her delusion? Is this really just an ordinary old man?

"Dead old man, why are you staying at the door of our teahouse? Go and go, don't keep bothering us about our business. ”

When the diligent shopkeeper treated the old man, he immediately looked fierce.

The old man glanced at Xiangyan meaningfully, and fell to the ground under the push of the shopkeeper.

"You can't afford to eat the leftovers here, hurry up and get away!" The shopkeeper spoke ill of each other, but none of the diners around him came out to stop him.

This is already a commonplace for them.

Xiangyan: "Little Er." ”

"Hey, what does this guest officer command?" When the shopkeeper saw that boy calling himself, he immediately ran over to accompany the smiling face.

"Sit down for the old man, everything he ordered is mine."

"This ......" The shopkeeper was obviously hesitant when he heard this, and their shopkeeper instructed that those who stinky and begging for food were not allowed to enter the store.

"The villain is difficult to obey, the shopkeeper said, beggars and dogs are not allowed to enter." The shopkeeper said in embarrassment.

"What did you say!" Xiangyan was slightly angry, and unconsciously slapped the table, attracting the attention of the surrounding diners.

"No one asks about the poor in the downtown area, the rich have distant relatives in the mountains, and the shopkeeper is so dislike the poor and love the rich, he will be exhausted in this store." Zhuge Xian also said sarcastically.

Seeing this, the shopkeeper immediately came over to compensate and said: "This master, please calm your anger, what you said is that you will recruit it in the next place." ”

"Xiao Zhang, the old man outside is a guest of these three sons, not a beggar, hurry up and prepare good wine and food!" The shopkeeper scolded the shopkeeper.

"Yes, yes, the three masters, please wait a moment, and the little ones will be arranged immediately."

After the shopkeeper finished speaking, he politely invited the old man outside the door in, and specially chose the seat next to Xiangyan and them for him.

"Old man, what do you want to eat?" Xiangyan asked politely, even if this old man was unkempt, Xiangyan didn't dislike it at all.

"Let's have a copy of them all." The old man said widely.

The shopkeeper was surprised, all of them have a copy?!

This is the best teahouse in Nanji City, and all the dishes will cost at least fifty taels of silver!

"Okay." Xiangyan laughed.

"Three masters, because the number of dishes ordered by this old man is too large, I have to ask you to pay the silver first." The shopkeeper said tremblingly, these three masters don't know where they came from, they have never seen it, and he really doesn't dare to offend.

"How much?" It's no problem to pay, to be honest, Xiangyan is still used to paying first before eating.

"Counting the dishes ordered by the three masters, a total of fifty-five taels."

After the second quotation of the shopkeeper, the old man still has to add wine when it is out of time?

"Little two, add three jars of osmanthus wine."

When the shopkeeper heard this, he looked at Xiangyan nervously and asked, "This master?" ”

The shopkeeper complained bitterly, what kind of coaxing is this bad old man, this master is the one who pays for you, you have to inch in again, wait for this master's mood to change, you can't eat anything!

"Little Er, how much does it cost to add three jars of wine?" Xiangyan didn't think so, anyway, what she has now is money, and the money for the three jars of wine is not even a dime.

"Counting the three jars of osmanthus wine, a total of sixty-seven taels of silver."

Xiangyan heard the total price quoted by the shopkeeper and signaled to Xu Zhan.

Xu Zhan immediately took out a gold bar of ten taels from his bag.

According to the current exchange rate, one tael of gold is equal to eight taels of silver, and these ten taels of gold are equal to eighty taels of silver!

The diners around were stunned, and what they took out was ten taels of gold?! The origins of these three people are not simple!

The shopkeeper took the gold, his hands trembled a little, fortunately he didn't speak disrespectfully to these masters just now, looking at the appearance of the strong man, he must be a guard! Wait a minute, he will definitely not be able to eat and walk around!

"I'm going to find money for a few masters."

The shopkeeper handed the gold bar to the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper took it in his hand, put it in his mouth and bit it, and after confirming that it was a real gold bar, he put it in his sleeve with satisfaction, and then took out thirteen taels of silver from the counter and gave it to Xiao Er, and asked a few words by the way.

"A few masters, this is looking for your thirteen taels of silver, as well as the osmanthus cake and osmanthus tea that the shopkeeper gave to you, please use it slowly." The shopkeeper said respectfully.

"Alright, we're going to continue eating, you go down." Xiangyan waved her hand.

"Okay." The shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief and happily responded.

The old man's table also began to serve slowly, and the three jars of osmanthus wine were placed at his feet, and he was not taboo, so he simply picked up a jar of wine and drank it freely!

Not for a while!

This jar is actually drunk!

The surrounding diners are amazed by the sheer number of them!

Even Xiangyan was secretly shocked by the amount of alcohol she had.

The old man didn't mind these glances at all, and began to eat them happily, thirty dishes, and he ate them all in an hour!

That's enough for more than 20 people!

"Uh~ I'm full." The old man hiccuped, touched his stomach and smiled innocently.

"Old man, can you tell me the story of the Osmanthus Girl now?" Xiangyan said softly, with great respect for the old and love for the young.

"It's sunny this day, so you might as well come with me." The old man smiled mildly.

After the rain, the sky is clear, the clouds are light and the wind is light.

"Let's go."

Under Xiangyan's decision, the three of them walked behind the old man.

After walking out of the city gate for about half an hour, the old man didn't speak, so Xiangyan asked, "Old man, it's been half an hour, where are you going?" ”

"Female doll, don't you want to find Yinkangguo when your ligaments are broken?"

The words are not shocking, and the death is endless!

As soon as the old man's words came out, they immediately aroused the vigilance of Xiangyan and the others!

"How do you know?" Xiangyan asked in a cold voice, without the kindness just now, this old man knows her secret!

"Look at the kung fu of this meal, go to the depths of the osmanthus forest, and the old man will give you a ride."

After the old man finished speaking, a burst of white mist surrounded Xiangyan and the three of them, and Xu Zhan and Zhuge Xian immediately surrounded Xiangyan in their arms to prevent her from being injured.

The white mist quickly dissipated, and they smelled the rich aroma of osmanthus flowers, and in front of them was an endless osmanthus forest, and the unkempt old man was gone.

Not a human species,

Originally from the moon.

A little fragrant in the cold,

The wind blows all over the mountain.

Outside the osmanthus forest, the desolate sound of the piano lingers in the ears, accompanied by the lonely flute, leaning on each other, Xiangyan doesn't know why, her eyes are sour, and an inexplicable emotion seems to overflow.

The breeze blew, bringing a burst of falling laurel, making the sound of the piano even more appropriate, as if to say it again

The osmanthus that has fallen can no longer return to the branches, and can only wait for their fragrance to gradually disappear, and the osmanthus that grows on the branches again next year is no longer the one of last year......

The sound of the piano... There is very little flute...
