1. The road is uneven

When the month of Vila, the autumn is gone, and the early winter is coming.

Different from Baihai City, Jiuhua City has a wide range, and there are countless subordinate counties, and Minghua County, a border county near the mountains, has attracted a lot of tourists because of its abundance of sunflowers. At this moment, there was a noise on the side of the street, and a group of people watched from afar, but no one dared to approach. At the door of the tea restaurant not far away, there were three people, two men and one woman, who were drinking tea and eating cakes, when they heard the noise and turned their heads.

One of the men grabbed the waiter and said with a smile: "Big brother, what is the noise on the street?" ”

The waiter looked back, and at a glance saw the girl sitting next to the man, extremely beautiful, and suddenly came to his senses, and said with a smile: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, this is the drying period of our flower farmers here, and the flower farmers all put the dried flower seeds on the street to sell, waiting for people to buy." Now it's noisy, and it must be the Eight Tigers who are bullying people again. ”

The sitting beauty took a bite of the cake and said strangely: "Wang Bahu? Is it an animal? ”

The waiter smiled: "This is a nickname, we give a local tigress a nickname." This tigress specializes in the acquisition business, and often buys flower seeds at this time, often framing the other party and buying it at a low price. This guy is rich and powerful, and he has hired a bunch of bodyguards at home, and if he likes someone's flower seeds, he will buy and sell them, and if he dares to resist the police, he will not be able to open the store on this street. We have no choice but to scold her behind our backs, that is, Wang Bahu. ”

The man who asked turned around and said with a smile: "Old Lei, is this your home?" This tiger is also a specialty of your hometown? ”

Another man laughed, "It's still far from my house, and I don't know this place well." But since you are passing by, you must take care of it, isn't this what we have been accustomed to along the way. ”

The three of them are Qi Mu, Lei Zhao and Qin Rouyi. They started from Baihai City, transferred by train, and arrived here in a few days, but on the way, Qi Mu and Lei Zhao always tested their foot strength, so they were delayed, and two weeks later, they just arrived in Minghua County.

The waiter heard the conversation and exclaimed, "The three of them are here for tourism, aren't they locals?" But don't mess with this tiger. ”

Qi Mu smiled and walked directly to the street, Lei Zhao paid in the back, and shouted: "Wait for me, every time I pay, are you really ready to eat me?" ”

There is a palm-sized flower seed shop on the side of the street, and there are seven or eight big men standing at the door at the moment, and the leader is a fat woman with a big waist and a round waist, dressed in yellow clothes, with a headscarf wrapped around her head, and she is spitting and splashing: "Less nonsense!" My flower seeds fell into your flower seeds, and you sold you to me at half price, which is considered your earnings, what are you talking about? "It should be the king of the eight tigers.

There were two young girls standing in the store, only about twenty years old, holding hands at the moment, huddled together, at a loss. There were four or five large dustpans next to it, which were filled with yellow and clear flower seeds.

Qi Mu came out of the crowd and said with a smile: "It's so lively, let me judge it!" ”

The two girls looked up at Qi Mu, revealing a distress look, Wang Bahu glanced back, only to feel that Qi Mu's eyebrows were clear and beautiful, and he liked it a little in his heart, and said with a casual smile: "Yo, it's for the Taoist, then you will come to evaluate the theory." I brought a lot of flower seeds to show the two little girlskins, but the little girl skins fell into their own flower seeds. I just want to buy them all, half the price, and compensate me for my losses, isn't that right? ”

A girl hurriedly said: "No, I haven't seen it yet, it was you who suddenly came over to knock over the flower seeds!" ”

Wang Bahu's face was angry, and a big man waved his fist forward, frightening the two girls to hurriedly retreat. Qi Mu walked in directly and said with a smile: "Boss, is the flower seed she brought enough for half of your here?" ”

The girl looked at Qi Mu and had a good impression, and said softly: "It's not enough, only a small handful, but, but she wants to buy all the flower seeds at half price, this, isn't this bullying?" ”

"It's too bullying!" Qi Muhaha smiled, turned around, protected the girl behind him, and continued: "You just took a small handful of flower seeds, and you want to cheapen all the flower seeds?" You're a bit of a bastard. ”

Wang Bahu had heard of his nickname for a long time, but he had no choice, but now when he heard it, he was immediately annoyed, stretched out his hand, and scolded: "Stinky Taoist, don't you want to give face?" The old lady's flower seeds are similar to this one, but they are mixed together, and if you can't find them, you have to buy them all, who made her unstable by herself? ”

"So, you mean, as long as you can find your flower seeds, you're going to fuck off?" Qi Mu smiled: "What if I find out here, your own handful of flower seeds?" ”

Wang Bahu laughed angrily: "Okay, okay, you find out for me, which are my flower seeds?" If you don't find the right one, I won't spare you! ”

Qi Mu smiled and said, "Okay, I'll show you now." He walked in front of a large basket, stretched out his hand, and breathed out, and a flower seed suddenly jumped up and landed in his hand. See, this is your flower seed. ”

The people around were rubbing their eyes frantically, looking at it carefully, only to be surprised, and they all felt that they had seen it wrong, why did the flower seed jump into his hand by himself?

Lei Zhao looked outside the door and couldn't help snickering: "You boyfriend, you like to be a good person everywhere you go." Qin Rouyi listened and snorted softly, but the corners of her mouth inadvertently curled.

Wang Bahu only thought that he was wrong, and said angrily: "You said yes? I said no! ”

Qi Mu smiled: "This is really your flower seed." You take a closer look. ”

"Okay, you said it was my flower seed, I called it, did it promise?" Wang Bahu sneered: "If it can agree, I will admit that it is my flower seed!" ”

Qi Mu nodded: "Then you are called, you didn't even call, how do you know that it is not?" ”

Wang Bahu said angrily: "Don't come to this set!" Do you treat the old lady as a monkey? Where did the wild Taoist priest come from, come, blast me out! ”

A few big men came up and were about to make a move, Qi Mu took a step back, raised his hand, and said with a smile: "If you don't call, I'll help you call." Flower seeds, flower seeds, did she bring them? If you do, nod your head yourself! As soon as the words fell, the flower seed in the palm of his hand jumped up by itself, moved forward a little, and jumped up again, really like a person nodding.

Everyone was surprised and couldn't help but cry out. Wang Bahu was furious: "Are you a trickster? ”

"What kind of trick, don't talk nonsense if you don't know. This is your flower seed, and I'll find out the other flower seeds. Qi Mu smiled, pointed casually, seven or eight flower seeds in a basket, all jumped up, and then fell into Qi Mu's hands, just like the first flower seed, jumping and nodding, like a few elves, very cute and interesting. There were more and more onlookers, and everyone looked at this scene and secretly shouted magic.

Qi Mu smiled: "These are your flower seeds, take them." ”

When Wang Bahu was angry, he shouted angrily: "Nonsense! I brought a bag, how many are there? ”

"Oh! You brought a bag. Qi Mu deliberately dragged out his voice, and then said with a smile: "Didn't you just say that you brought a lot, why is it now a bag?" ”

Everyone was snickering, Wang Bahu himself said that he had leaked his mouth, and he was so angry that he couldn't do it, but seeing that there were more and more people around, he didn't want to make a big deal about it, so he waved his hand and turned around and left. Qi Mu smiled: "Take your flower seeds away!" As he spoke, the flower seeds in his hand flew out, and Wang Bahu screamed, and all the flower seeds hit his head, holding his head, like a wild boar, and rushed out.

Qi Mu pulled his legs to leave, and the two girls rushed over, one left and one right, dragging Qi Mu's arm and shouting: "Dao Chang, thank you, thank you, don't go, don't go!" The two girls were like oriole kingfishers, their voices were gentle, Qi Mu was a little embarrassed, and the girl smiled: "Dao Chief, you have helped us a lot, let's invite you to dinner, don't be in a hurry to leave." ”

"What to eat?" Qin Rouyi walked over, her face was like frost, Qi Mu hurriedly pushed the girl away and stood behind Qin Rouyi. Qin Rouyi said coldly: "Do your own business." If you dare to pull and pull on him, don't blame me for being unkind! ”

The two girls had no faces, but they felt that the woman in front of them was extremely fierce, even more powerful than Wang Bahu, and they were silent for a while. Qin Rouyi turned around: "Are you leaving?" ”

"Go, go." Qi Mu smiled, bent down and arched his hand: "Miss Qin, please first." ”

Qin Rouyi glanced at him and walked out. Qi Mu smiled: "Old Lei, where is Lei Gong Castle, and how far is it?" ”

"If Lei Gongbao is in this county, how can I allow this kind of king and eight tigers to do nonsense?" Lei Zhao followed and said with a smile: "Follow this road, go up the mountain, and in four or five hours, you will be there." ”

After the three of them saw that the road was uneven, they continued to hurry. Minghua County is rich in products, flowers and plants are vigorous, walking on the road, the fragrance is overflowing. Qin Rouyi walked in the front, walked for a while, looked back again, but didn't see Qi Mu, only Lei Zhao followed. She frowned, but saw Qi Mu come out of the flowers and grass on the side, trotted over, and gently put a freshly braided wreath in her hand on Qin Rouyi's hair.

Qin Rouyi waved his fist: "If you dare to talk to other little girls again, I will break your legs!" ”

"Order!" Qi Mu arched his hand and said with a smile: "I just made it up, is it good-looking?" ”

Qin Rouyi pursed her lips and laughed: "It's so-so." ”

Lei Zhao leaned over to take a look and said with a smile: "How long did you use it?" It's so good-looking, it's enough to catch up with a specialized craftsman. ”

"Really?" Qi Mu clapped his hands, knocked off the soil on his hands, and said with a smile: "It only took a minute, I didn't feel it." ”

Lei Zhao said disdainfully: "Nonsense, this garland is smooth and has no side branches, and it takes dozens of shuttles inside and outside to weave it, you can do it in one minute?" As soon as he finished speaking, Qi Mu had already pulled up four long grasses with his backhand, and flew up and down in his hands, and in an instant, another grass ring appeared, with strong roots, smooth and thornless.

Lei Zhao was surprised, he had just seen that the long grass in Qi Mu's hand seemed to be born automatically, but wherever his fingers passed, the thorns and other branches would fall, and it was easily done.
