The middle-aged man sat on the stool, almost didn't even look at the two big men, and said coldly: "Leave the food money and consultation money behind, and surround your life!" ”
"Consultation fee?" The two big men suddenly looked dazed, "What's the diagnosis gold?" ”
The middle-aged man said sharply: "You injured people, don't you need a medical fee!" ”
The faces of the two big men changed suddenly, "Okay, okay...... We will give the food money and the consultation fee, and we will give ......."
The three young men let go of their hands, and the two big men trembled and took out the copper plate from their bodies and paid it to the shopkeeper.
"Get out!" The three young men kicked the buttocks of the two big men a few times, and the two big men crawled and fled from the tavern in embarrassment.
At this time, the shopkeeper wiped a handful of blood from his nose and came over to give the middle-aged man an arch, "Thank you, uncle, thank you, uncle......"
The middle-aged man glanced at him and said lightly: "Thank you for not needing, tell me, how did you see through us?" ”
"What?" The shopkeeper was suddenly a little dumbfounded, and secretly glanced at Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao didn't look back at all, eating and drinking by himself, and the shopkeeper only saw his back.
"Say, how do you see through us?"
"This, this ......"
"Little Er!" At this moment, Xiao Laodao stood up from the stool, "Check out!" ”
When the shopkeeper heard this, he seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ran towards Xiao Laodao, Xiao Laodao glanced at the shopkeeper, lowered his voice and said to him: "You just said, it was the two splashes who told you just now, saying that you are the dog army, remember, you must say, the dog army is poor!" ”
"What?" The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, but he reacted very quickly, "Hey, this Daoist, what is the price of your meals...... It's 300 hanging rice money. ”
Xiao Laodao paid the bill, and the shopkeeper turned around and ran back to the middle-aged man, and said to the middle-aged man in a low voice: "The two fierce men who were beaten away by a few masters just now told me, saying that you are ...... It's the dog army poor. ”
"What?" When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately became angry and ordered the three young people, "Find them in their own county to arrest the head, arrest the two of them, and put them in prison!" ”
One of the young men said yes and turned to leave, at this time, Xiao Laodao greeted my grandfather and a few people, "It's all full, let's hurry when you're full." "The grandfather and a few people also saw it at this time, and if they didn't leave, they might be in trouble.
A few people packed their luggage and walked outside the inn, the shopkeeper sneaked up and stuffed the silver back into Xiao Laodao's hand, and the shopkeeper said respectfully: "This Daoist, the little one really convinced you, you are really clever!" ”
Xiao Laodao said with a smile: "After we leave, don't give us up, otherwise, it will not be good for us, and it will not be good for you." ”
The shopkeeper hurriedly nodded, "The little one understands!" The little one understands! ”
A few people left the tavern and quickly left Zhuangzi, at this time, the old man came to Xiao Laodao and asked puzzledly: "Xiao Daochang, could it be that those people just now are all military errands?" ”
Xiao Laodao nodded, and replied lightly: "It should be an infantry battalion." ”
"And how do you see that?" The old man asked again.
Xiao Laodao suddenly snorted lightly, "In the past, I have explained to the people of the Eight Banners Infantry Battalion, and some of them will put a colored edge on the cuffs when they wear civilian clothes to prove that they are flag people, especially those from the Eight Banners of the Han Dynasty. The middle-aged man just now, with a red edge on his cuffs, is either inlaid with a red flag or a red flag, but I think this person has a good momentum, at least he is also a five-grade infantry military academy. ”
When the master heard this, he asked: "I heard that the banner people are not all in Jingshi and the north, what are they doing in Shudi?" ”
Xiao Laodao glanced at the master and said: "The world is not the king's land, the shore of the land is not the king's minister, it is not uncommon to have banner people in Shu, and there are many barbarian Tusi in Shu, with the rebellion of Shu Dao, these four people in the tavern are not the spies who touched the barracks." Xiao Laodao paused, and then said: "I don't think this place is peaceful, it's better to leave as soon as possible." ”
At this time, Xiao Shiyi gestured to Xiao Laodao and said, "Master, we don't have much dry food.
Xiao Laodao nodded slightly, "I know, but it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's go further and wait until we have a village." ”
Everyone followed the winding path, in the deep mountains and old forests from the afternoon until the sky was dark, through a messy bamboo forest, a small village appeared in front of them.
This small village is not big, more than a dozen families, and they all live in bamboo houses, and it seems that there are a lot of bamboo in this area.
The grandfather and a few people quickly walked around the village, although they bought some food, but they didn't find a place to stay, because their bamboo houses are relatively small, one radish and one pit, unlike the Central Plains, which are all large yards with several earthen houses, and there are many free rooms, and they have no free rooms here. However, a kind-hearted villager said to the grandfather and a few others, although you cannot live in the house, you can sleep under the eaves of our house at night.
This family's bamboo house, with eaves and corridors, the corridor is quite spacious, and it is no problem to lie down a few people.
When the master heard this, he was a little unhappy, and slept under someone else's roof, so it was better to find a place in the woods.
Xiao Laodao said that Shu is not as good as the Central Plains, there are many poisonous insects and beasts, and in comparison, sleeping under other people's roofs is much safer than in the forest. In the end, the master had no choice but to reluctantly agree, and several people laid bunks under the eaves of others.
Next to the bamboo house of this family, there is also a sheepfold with a few goats in it, and next to the sheepfold, next to a bamboo forest.
The grandfather slept until midnight, and there was a sound of rustling from the bamboo forest, as if something was walking around in the bamboo forest, and the grandfather slept more sensitively, even if he fell asleep, he kept a hundred and twenty points of caution, and when he heard the sound, he immediately opened his eyes.
Looking in the direction of the bamboo forest, at this time, a white thing ran out of the bamboo forest, but after a closer look, this thing is not pure white, it seems to be black and white, the master has never seen such a strange thing.
Seeing this thing stop in front of the sheepfold, he raised his head and sniffed with his nose, then tilted his head, and gnawed the bamboo fence of the sheepfold, and after a few strokes, the fence was gnawed out of a big hole by it, and arched into the sheepfold.
At this time, several goats in the sheepfold all woke up, running around in the sheepfold, bleating, chasing those goats back and forth, the master saw that this thing was very strange, the body was round, and it seemed very clumsy, not like jackals, tigers and leopards, but in the end, it pounced on a lamb, picked up the lamb and left.
Seeing this, the grandfather turned over and stood up from the bed, the family was kind enough to take them in, and he could not watch their sheep being taken away.
The grandfather shouted: "Leave the sheep behind!" ”
With a bang, Xiao Laodao and the others woke up and startled the thing, but it didn't let go of the lamb, and rushed into the bamboo forest in a panic with the lamb in its mouth.
Xiao Laodao shouted behind the master in a daze: "Brother, what's wrong?" ”
The master didn't look back, and replied to Xiao Laodao: "There is a monster who took the sheep away!" While speaking, the master chased into the bamboo forest.
At this time, I heard Xiao Laodao say: "What are you two still doing in a daze, why don't you chase after it!" It seems to be instructing Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Eleven.
Just say that the master, after chasing into the bamboo forest, because the forest is darker, you can only vaguely see that there is something running in front, but the run is not fast, the master will chase after the legs, but this bamboo forest is different from the woods, the bamboo forest is relatively dense, people can't run away in it, although the thing in front is clumsy, it drills around between the bamboos, and is at ease.
After a while, the master chased the thing away, the master stopped, looked around, and his eyes were full of bamboo, not only black, but the dense bamboo also particularly blocked the vision, and he couldn't see two feet away.
At this moment, there was a faint commotion behind him, and when the master looked back, Xiao Chujiu and Xiao Shiyi chased after him.
"Liu Daxia, did you catch up?"
The master shook his head, the dignified dragon slayer, the ability to subdue the dragon and the tiger, but he couldn't catch up with a stupid thing.
The grandfather looked a little unsightly, and said to Xiao Chujiu: "Brother Chujiu, you and Eleven go back first, and I'll chase after you for a while." ”
When Xiao Shiyi heard this, he pulled the master's clothes, and gestured: You go back with us, so as not to worry about the master.
The master hesitated for a moment, but looking at the dense bamboo in front of him, it was almost impossible to move an inch, and he really wanted to catch up with that thing, but he was afraid that it was unlikely.
The master thought about it for a while, forget it, but he was just a lamb all the time, and he turned around and returned with Xiao Chujiu.
When the three of them came out of the bamboo forest, they saw Xiao Laodao holding a torch and the owner of the house, as well as the girl who was an entertainer and an old begger, checking next to the sheepfold.
Xiao Laodao saw that the three of them came back, and hurriedly asked them, "Did you catch up, what took the sheep away?" ”
The grandfather showed a hint of shame on his face, and replied: "I don't know what it is, it looks stupid and stupid, but it's quite fast in the forest......"
At this time, I heard the owner of the house scold: "This mother has taken away my three sheep." ”
Xiao Laodao immediately smiled when he heard this, and said to the master: "Good master, don't worry, if you want to find that thing, isn't it easy?" ”
When the owner of this house heard this, he hurriedly looked at Xiao Lao Dao, "Do you have any solutions?" ”
Xiao Laodao shone the torch towards the hole that was bitten open, and said, "Good master, what do you see on this ground?" ”
The owner of the house looked towards the entrance of the cave, "Yes...... There are broken holes! ”
Xiao Laodao suddenly pouted, "Look at it carefully." ”
The owner of this house looked at it again with wide eyes, "What, what, what's the end." ”
At this time, the girl on the side said, "There seems to be blood on the ground." ”
Xiao Laodao suddenly smiled, "That's right, there are two drops of blood on the ground, which should be left by the little lamb, as long as you follow the blood, you won't be able to find that thing." ”
When the owner of this house heard this, he suddenly realized, squatted on the ground and looked at it carefully, "There is really blood!" Then he begged Xiao Laodao and wanted Xiao Laodao to go into the bamboo forest with him to find that thing, saying that as long as he found it, he would be thanked, but Xiao Laodao couldn't shirk it, so he could only agree.
It's good now, I can't sleep, leaving the old begging girl, the showgirl, the ghost monkey and Xiao Shiyi. Xiao Laodao, my grandfather, and Xiao Chujiu, each lit a torch and followed the owner into the bamboo forest......
