100 to the Yan Ancestral Hall
Come to Yan Town.
As the date of the Buddha's birthday approaches, the town becomes more and more lively.
Pedestrians on the street are shoulder to shoulder, and the road is lined with vendors setting up stalls, Jianghu artists who dance knives and guns, and you can also see dragon and lion dances from time to time.
Because the good men and women from a radius of more than 100 miles have flocked here, and several inns in the town are full of people, and there are no vacant rooms, Jiang Yi can only choose to go to the ancestral hall to spend the night.
The location of the ancestral hall of Laiyan Town is quite secluded, the houses are old and empty, the gate is open, and there is no figure in the courtyard.
At this time, Jiang Yi changed his appearance into Bai Zhantang, looking free and handsome, he knocked on the door and shouted: "Is there anyone?" ”
After a while, an old man on crutches walked out one by one, looked at Jiang Yi and asked, "What is this son doing?" ”
As the old man looked up, he could see two hideous scars on his face.
Jiang Yi clenched his fists and said: "I am here to participate in the birthday of the Buddha, but the inns in the town are full, so I can only come to your place to spend a few days, and I hope the old man can agree." ”
As he spoke, he handed over a piece of broken silver.
The old man nodded after accepting the money: "I see, if the son doesn't think the ancestral hall is shabby, but it doesn't hurt to live." ”
"So, thank you, uncle." Jiang Yi thanked.
"Please come with me, I'll arrange a room for you first."
The old man said and led the way, and found a room with extremely simple decoration for Jiang Yi: "You just live in this room, just tell me if you have anything." By the way, everyone else calls me Daddy Qi. ”
As he spoke, he frowned and coughed.
Jiang Yi looked at his face, as if there was some dark illness in his body, but he didn't ask much, just put down the package and found a chair to sit down.
A girl walked into the room with a tray in her hand with a pot of tea and a few pieces of bread on it.
Father Qi introduced: "This is my granddaughter, girl. ”
Jiang Yi nodded at the girl, and the girl smiled slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
Father Qi continued: "Childe came from afar, he must be tired, try the dim sum made by the girl." ”
Jiang Yi picked up a piece of cake and put it in his mouth, tasted it, and found that the taste was excellent, and praised:
"The girl's craftsmanship is really good."
The girl nodded silently, and then went to make the bed.
Father Qi explained: "The girl has been dumb since he was a child, and he can't hear the sound, don't be surprised. ”
"I see." Jiang Yi showed a sudden look.
……
In this way, Jiang Yi lived in the ancestral hall.
Two days later, a group of people carried large and small boxes into the ancestral hall.
"Be careful, be slow, handle with care."
At first, a middle-aged man in a blue robe commanded everyone to move things, and after seeing Jiang Yi, he hugged his fists and said: "In the next Zong Yuan, we are the head of the Caiyun acrobatic class, and we were invited by Laiyan Town to perform here." I'll live in the ancestral hall for a few days, and I'm afraid I'm going to be disturbed. ”
Jiang Yi smiled and said politely: "In Xia Bai Zhan Hall, I am just borrowing guests from this place, so why bother with it." ”
Ren Zongyuan obviously often dealt with people from the three sects and nine ranks, and always had a friendly smile on his face, and said: "By the way, our acrobatic class will perform outside the ancestral hall in two days, and the son can come and see it then." ”
"yes, I'll definitely go if it's okay."
Jiang Yi nodded, and said in his heart: I'm afraid you won't be able to wait for that day.
As he spoke, a tall and strong man walked into the gate of the ancestral hall, he was holding a stone lion in one hand, his steps were steady and powerful, and every step he took made the ground shake slightly.
Jiang Yi saw his footsteps landing on the ground with a loud sound, as if he was carrying a thousand pounds, and couldn't help but say, "Amazing." ”
Ren Zongyuan introduced: "This is the thunder stone of our acrobatic class, born with divine power. Don't look at the small size of the stone lion, one foot weighs 300 pounds, ordinary people can't move it, only he can move it. ”
"Caiyun acrobatic class, it seems to be Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
Jiang Yi smiled and complimented, his eyes flashing with inexplicable brilliance.
Between the conversations between the two, the people of the acrobatic class entered the ancestral hall one by one.
Ren Zongyuan briefly introduced the members of the acrobatics class to Jiang Yi: the dignified Sima Ang, the thin and short Xiong Yan, and the coquettish Kangqiao.
By the time the acrobatics class had packed their luggage, it was already dark.
Father Qi limped over with the food and beckoned, "Everyone, the dish is here, everyone eat slowly." ”
The delicate and lovely girl followed behind him, silently serving food to everyone.
Jiang Yi sat alone at one table, and the people in the Caiyun acrobatics class sat at three tables.
"The food is simple, and I hope you will forgive me." Father Qi said politely.
Ren Zongyuan replied with a smile: "It's okay, when you go out, how can you pay so much attention to it." ”
Jiang Yi took the dishes with chopsticks, and after eating a few bites, he praised: "The girl's cooking skills are still as good as ever, and after eating the dishes she cooks, I am reluctant to leave this ancestral hall." ”
"Bai Gongzi has won the award, it's good if it suits your appetite, you can use it slowly."
Father Qi said, and retreated with the girl.
Ren Zongyuan and the others also sat down to eat, and then praised it:
"The food tastes really good."
While eating, Lei Shi walked in through the door.
"Lei Shi, come on, it's time to eat."
Senior Brother Xiong Yan greeted, got up and poured him a glass of wine.
Lei Shi just picked up the chopsticks to eat, and when he saw a plate of fish in front of him, he immediately pulled down his face, slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, made a bang, and said angrily: "Hmph, don't eat it." ”
As he spoke, he turned around and left.
The originally lively scene was suddenly cold.
Xiong Yan glanced at his back, and pretended to be nothing: "Forget it, he doesn't eat us, we eat it ourselves." ”
Kang Qiao also comforted everyone and said: "Yes, this is his rule: don't eat fish, don't eat sour, don't eat spicy, don't mind, keep eating." ”
Only then did everyone continue to move their chopsticks.
"Hey, this meal is really full of color and flavor."
One sniffed with his nose and praised.
"yes, it smells so good."
As soon as the words fell, everyone felt that their minds were getting more and more dizzy, their hands and feet were sore, and their bodies were weak.
Plop, plop.
One after another, they fell to the table and fell asleep.
Lei Shi, who had just taken a few steps, was also weak under his feet, plopped, and fell to the ground, allowing him to have divine power, but at this time, his muscles and bones were sore, like a puddle of mud.
When Kang Qiao looked at the appearance of everyone, he immediately realized that something was wrong, and he held on to his spirits and said with difficulty: "No, there is a ...... in the dish Poison. ”
After speaking, his eyes went dark and he fell into a coma.
Jiang Yi finished eating slowly, then stood up, walked to the side of several people in the Caiyun acrobatic class, took out a golden needle, and sealed the acupuncture points of several people.
Then Kang Qiao, Ren Zongyuan, Xiong Yan, Lei Shi, and Sima Ang were dragged outside the ancestral hall one by one and stuffed into the prepared carriage.
drove the carriage out of Laiyan Town.
As for how to deal with the five people in the acrobatic class after Father Qi and the girl in the ancestral hall found out that the five people in the acrobatic class were missing, Jiang Yi couldn't care about it.
