"Scared...... I'm scared to death...... Niu Laocai grabbed my hand and refused to let go, swallowing hard, at this moment, his forehead and face were covered with cold sweat beads, his legs were still trembling, he glanced around urgently, and said in a low voice: "Master Xiaojiu, how can it be...... How did you come up with this......

"Old man Niu, it was originally very smooth, but how can you have a deep relationship between husband and wife, and your deceased wife Liu has to let you go down to accompany her, so the next thing happened, it was all my poor consideration, which frightened you!" I solemnly said to Niu Laocai, if I don't admit my mistake at this time, I'm afraid I will really work in vain.

"Alas! Forget it...... Niu Laocai pushed away my support, staggered and tidied up his clothes, when he found that his lower body had been soaked with a smell, his old face suddenly turned red, he shook his sleeves heavily, and turned around and walked out of the courtyard gate.

I looked at Niu Laocai's back in a daze, and I felt extremely aggrieved, I didn't think about a good "business", but it got to such a point, as for the sesame oil money, I'm afraid I also thought that Niu Laocai didn't ask me to settle the account.

It seems that tomorrow I have to take out a few jars of flower carvings from my grandfather's cellar and take out one jar to buy some livelihood, otherwise I won't be able to live this day......

Early the next morning, I was awakened by a knock on the door, hurriedly climbed out of bed, put on clothes, stood by the window, and looked through the gap in the window to the courtyard door outside.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but panic, but when I heard the knocks on the door outside, I couldn't help but feel anxious, settled down, and mustered up the courage to go out, whether it was a blessing or a curse, a disaster that could not be avoided, maybe my family's inheritance has come to an end, but three generations, my generation, no matter how hard I work, it is useless......

Disheartened, I opened the courtyard door, only to see that the person who came was really Mr. Niu Laocai's bookkeeper, I subconsciously took two steps back, and reluctantly smiled calmly: "Hehe! Uncle Winter Melon, you ...... You come early in the morning...... Is there something wrong? ”

"Is there something wrong?" Uncle Winter Melon glanced at me up and down, and immediately sneered: "Of course there is something!" Didn't you run an errand for our host last night? Now I'm here to settle the score! ”

"Huh?" My legs were weak, and I thought to myself that this is over, Niu Laocai is the rich man of Phoenix Village, rich and powerful, if you really want to reason with me because of last night's incident, then I can't tell it with my mouth open, after all, people are poor and short-minded, and they can't use Taoism to mess around with people, so they can only stretch out their noses and let them cut ...... "Uncle Winter Melon, then you say, what kind of algorithm?" I admit it all! ”

drooping his head, secretly thinking about how many jars of flower carvings in his grandfather's cellar there are, and estimating that this time it will not be enough to compensate, not to mention that I saw Niu Laocai peeing his pants with my own eyes, and he was so ugly, how could he spare me!

"Originally, it was seven silver dollars, but you also know that there was an ......accident," Uncle Donggua, the bookkeeper, glanced at me lazily, and with a flick of his cuffs, a delicate small abacus appeared, and he immediately said: "Our host is grateful to Master Xiaojiu for his timely rescue, and as soon as he arrives, let me send five silver dollars as the sesame oil money offered by our host." ”

As soon as I heard that I would not be allowed to compensate, but would give me sesame oil money, I was so excited in my heart that I hurriedly clasped my fists: "Thank you for your magnanimity, I will definitely visit you another day and do a blessing ceremony for Mr. Niu!" ”

"Huh! Master Xiaojiu has a heart, farewell! Uncle Donggua, the bookkeeper, hugged his fists slightly, answered lightly, and turned away.

Weighing the five silver dollars in my hand, I immediately grinned beautifully, ancestors bless, this time it was self-defeating, but I still picked up a bargain, it is really my family missionary should not be extinct......

"Long mile, long mile, long ......"

I saw that on the road outside, an old man in ragged clothes gradually came into my sight, and in his mouth, he was still humming a small tune, swaggering towards me.

The old man was about sixty years old, his hair was already gray, and he had a gray-white goatee, and his figure was rickety, very thin, as if a gust of wind could blow him to the ground, but he was dressed all over his body, but I was stunned, the old man was wearing a gray robe, the corner of the hem of the clothes, tied to the belt of the waist, revealing a tattered coarse cloth trousers, the bottom half of the trousers, almost rotten to the knees, and the feet were wearing a pair of straw sandals, black dirt, stained with feet, and I could smell a smell of stinky feet from a long distance......

But what I wonder about is not his clothes, but what he wears, carrying a heavy sword on his back, the scabbard is black, the handle is about seven inches long, judging from the width of the scabbard alone, it is estimated that the blade inside is at least five inches wide, and the overall length is about four feet, and the sword body inside has to be more than three feet three, such a heavy sword, carried by a thin old man who is crazy and humming, is so relaxed that I have to sigh for a moment.

His whole body, maybe the swarthy sword is worth a little money, but the Qiankun treasure bag on his waist has changed color, if he doesn't see that the background color is purple, he thinks it's black, his right hand side waist, there is also a super large wine gourd, this kind of wine gourd, with my years of experience in winemaking, at first glance, it is the kind of capacity of five or six catties, my heart moved, isn't this crazy old man here to buy wine and drink?

"This is Chen Laoxian's house?" The crazy old man opened his mouth and put forward the name of my grandfather, and he had a bitter and hateful posture, and I couldn't help but be stunned.

"Old man, my grandfather was a universal sentient being, helping the world, and everyone in the world respected Chen Xiandao, why did you blaspheme my grandfather's real name?" I was a little displeased, thinking to myself what kind of wine buyer this is, it is impossible for the wine buyer to be so reckless, I can't figure it out that he is a beggar who has come to ask for food, but looking at his clothes, he does not look like a beggar......

"Are you Chen Laoxian's grandson? Ha ha! Very good, very good! When the crazy old man heard this, he immediately looked me up and down, and the next moment, he strode into the courtyard without saying a word, and I was so shocked that I hurriedly chased after me.

"Oops! How good are you, old man? Why didn't you break in without asking? I stretched out my arm to stop him, but I was almost fainted by the smell of sweat on the crazy old man's body, and I hurriedly took two steps back and watched him enter the Dharma Hall.

"Old Immortal Chen? Chen Laoxian, you come out! "The crazy old man entered the house and shouted, the sound was like a muffled thunder, which made my ears itch, and I had layers of goosebumps all over my body.

"Old man!" I finally couldn't help it, blocked the door and shouted, but when I saw that the crazy old man had eased up, I sighed bitterly and said: "Old man, I won't tell you, my grandfather has been traveling with cranes more than 20 years ago, and even I didn't have the fate to see his old man, alas, if you are my grandfather's old friend, it's really too late......"

"Oh, Old Immortal Chen has been dead for so many years!" The crazy old man suddenly realized, and he didn't shy away from using words at all.

"Old man, then what do you say, looking for my grandfather? If you need help, I, as grandpa's grandson, can help! "I looked at the crazy old man with a headache, he was really crazy, he spoke openly, and he was disrespectful to the old, he had no manners at all, knowing that my grandfather had been traveling in cranes for so many years, and he didn't show a little sadness, but he bluntly claimed "death, death", alas......

"You are Chen Laoxian's grandson, then you must be called Chen Xiaojiu!" The crazy old man strode over, suddenly squinting his eyes and laughing.

"Uh...... Old man, how do you know? I looked at the old man in astonishment, and said that he was crazy, and that it seemed a little out of place.

"Of course I know this!" The crazy old man waved his sleeves, and suddenly there was a strong smell of stinky sweat, I opened my mouth and retched, and barely endured it, but when I saw him turn around and find a chair and sit down with a big grin, I said with a smile: "I have a deep friendship with your grandfather, when I was young, we used to seek Taoism together, but in the end we split up, and he became a family missionary, what am I ...... Hehe, it's still alone! ”

"Oh! So, the old gentleman is also a person who seeks immortals and cultivates the Dao? I stepped forward in surprise, forced to endure the smell of sweat, and asked in disbelief, I didn't expect to meet my grandfather's old acquaintance, but it's so good!

"Nonsense!" The old man raised his hand and patted the thick sword on his back, raised his sword eyebrows, and said, "Do you see this sword?" The root of my life, the authentic Dragon and Tiger Mountain Heavenly Master Dao, containing the essence of the dragon and tiger, weighing sixty-nine catties of dark iron casting, subduing demons and subduing demons, hehe, similar to my own nickname, Dragon and Tiger Demon Sword! ”

"So, the old Taoist is the Dragon and Tiger Daoist?" I asked, stunned.

"Nonsense! It's said that it's similar to my nickname, so you grew up so much that you didn't listen to the deeds passed down by your ancestors about me? The old Taoist proudly cocked Erlang's legs and stroked his gray beard, as if waiting for my further confirmation.

"Nope!" I shook my head and confirmed earnestly.

"Okay, you old fairy Chen!" The old Taoist stood up, just about to be angry, I couldn't help but retreat slightly, this old man's voice was simply too loud, I was afraid that I would be stunned if I got closer, but I saw that he was not angry, but waved his hand, and said: "Anyway, they are all dead, now it is good to have his grandson, the predecessors have debts, and the descendants will pay back!" ”

"Debt? Old Daoist, my grandfather still owes you a debt? I asked, surprised.

"Nonsense! Why else am I here for?! The old Taoist glared, blew his beard, and then said with a smile: "Your grandfather doesn't owe much, he owes me three meals, and you can pay it back to me!" ”

"Three meals?!" I asked again in shock, and after receiving a definite answer, I was instantly relieved, and hurriedly laughed: "It's just three meals, I thought there was a big debt, but ...... Old Daoist, you have also seen that my family is poor and white, only the Dharma Hall handed down from my ancestors is still decent, if it is the delicacies of the mountains and seas, I can't take it, but the coarse tea and light rice can manage you for three or five meals. ”

"I won't eat you." The old Taoist said with a smile, but immediately his face turned grim, and he said, "Xiaojiu, you kid is not honest, didn't you just earn five silver dollars?" Hehe, then take it out, buy three catties of braised meat first, and then make two or three jars of the old flower carvings stored by your grandfather, let me satisfy my cravings! ”

"Three catties of braised pork?! Two or three altars of aged flower carvings?! My hands trembled, and I hurriedly touched the five silver dollars in my pocket, and cold sweat broke out in my palms......
