Chapter 17: The Narrow Road (Part II)

Everyone entered the house, the store was full of smoke, and it seemed that in addition to inns and restaurants, there might be a casino and a teahouse or something, so there would be so many people.

The man led them to a table in the corner, and after a while, the shopkeeper stepped forward and said, "What do you want?" ”

The man said: "Old five, this little couple wants to see how edible the little beans are!" ”

The shopkeeper was taken aback and said, "This ...... That's not big, is it? ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "How much can a child eat?" Just send it up! ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Guest, you still don't care about this idle matter, this kid doesn't know what's going on, he has become very able to eat this year, and he will never be able to eat enough, as if he has fallen into an evil spirit, you better let him go!" ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "I don't believe it, if you send it, you will send it!" ”

The shopkeeper shook his head and turned to leave, but Zhao Ling'er was thoughtful, not knowing what he was thinking.

After a while, the shopkeeper brought up a large plate of glutinous rice cakes, which was very easy to fill, and ordinary children couldn't even eat a piece, so the shopkeeper suddenly picked up a large plate and put it on Li Xiaoyao's table, which made Li Xiaoyao startled.

"This ...... How do you eat this? ”

The shopkeeper said: "Guest, I'm helping you with your purse plan, if you call it something else, I'm afraid that the well-off family will also be eaten!" Xiaodouzi, this son wants to have a treat, you can eat, we won't drive you. ”

Xiaodouzi looked at Li Xiaoyao timidly, and then at Zhao Ling'er, Zhao Ling'er touched his head and said, "Don't be afraid, you can eat, it's not enough." ”

"Thank you, sister!"

Xiaodouzi immediately stretched out both hands at the same time, one in each hand, grabbed two pieces of cake and stuffed it into his mouth, and ate it in the blink of an eye, and grabbed two more pieces, which is an incredible way to eat quickly.

The shopkeeper and the man both stood aside and watched, and it didn't take long for more and more people to come and watch, and the noise gradually quieted down, and when Xiaodouzi finished eating a whole plate of glutinous rice cakes, everyone was dumbfounded and speechless.

Zhao Ling'er asked, "Are you still hungry?" ”

Xiaodouzi nodded, and the shopkeeper hurriedly separated the crowd, went to bring another plate, put it on the table, and said, "You eat, you eat." ”

Xiaodouzi didn't even wait for a moment, and opened his bow left and right, sweeping away more than two dozen pieces.

Li Xiaoyao looked stupid, but Zhao Linger was not surprised, and said to the shopkeeper:

"Go get it again, the kid will be full."

The shopkeeper hadn't really seen how much this kid could eat, anyway, someone was willing to pay, and he was happy to open his eyes, so he went to serve it again.

Xiaodouzi ate desperately, and the surroundings were already surrounded by onlookers, many people pointed and pointed, and some said: "This child's appetite is probably the best in the world!" "But why are you so skinny?" "That fairy-like girl, what is the matter with saying that he will be full?" "Wow, I've finished eating a big plate again......"

Li Xiaoyao saw that there were more and more empty plates piled on the table, and finally believed the man's words, and couldn't help but ask Zhao Ling'er in a low voice: "Ling'er, what's wrong with this kid?" How can you eat it so much? ”

Zhao Ling'er said: "I heard grandma say that there is a kind of insect called a demon-eating insect, if it burrows into a person's belly, this person will be very hungry, as if he will never be able to eat......

"What? That...... So what to do? ”

Zhao Ling'er said: "As long as he is really full, the demon eating insect will come out by itself, and this person will be saved." It's just that ordinary people don't know that they always don't feed themselves well, so the worms are always in the stomach and can't crawl out. ”

"That's it...... So how much do you have to eat to be full? ”

Zhao Linger said: "I don't know, just take a look!" But...... I'm afraid this is just a minor issue. ”

Li Xiaoyao sighed: "It's not good that our entanglement is going to run out here, how can it be a small problem?" ”

Zhao Ling'er said: "Grandma said, all things are mutually reinforcing, there will be places infested by demon-eating insects, and there must be monsters who are not shallow!" I didn't expect that in the city of Suzhou, there would be monsters ......"

"Really?"

Li Xiaoyao was also a little surprised, the two of them spoke in a very low voice, and the people who watched the show were gossiping, but they didn't hear their soft conversation.

One of the onlookers said, "Hey, hey, slow down!" ”

"Have you eaten enough?"

The big bowl of eggs in front of Xiaodouzi has almost been eaten, and the table and the ground are also full of empty plates and empty bowls, these foods can feed at least hundreds of big men, and the amount is considerable.

Li Xiaoyao stared at Xiaodouzi, he stopped and stopped eating.

Zhao Ling'er said: "Are you full?" ”

Xiaodouzi said: "I...... I don't know either, I just don't want to eat it. ”

Zhao Ling'er pointed to the Tianshu acupoint on the abdomen of Xiaodouzi with her right hand, and her left hand was against his abdomen, closing her eyes and urging the curse, Xiaodouzi's face suddenly changed, and she bent over and vomited.

Everyone was shocked and took a big step back. But I only heard the sound of Xiaodouzi retching, and he didn't spit out anything, and after a long time, he finally spit out something, fell to the ground, and kept writhing, it turned out to be a bug.

The onlookers didn't dare to make a sound, only to see Zhao Ling'er casually take a magnetic bowl on the table, buckle the insect, put it in the magnetic bowl, sealed it, and put it away.

Li Xiaoyao couldn't figure out her intentions, but he didn't ask much.

Zhao Ling'er patted Xiaodouzi and said, "Do you feel better?" ”

Xiaodouzi himself was very surprised, stunned for a while, and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

The onlookers applauded, and they all threw money at them, shouting: "Wonderful! What a wonderful trick! ”

"It's amazing that something you eat can turn into worms!"

"There is such a spell in Suzhou City, which is an eye-opener!"

I saw the copper coins like falling snow, and threw them into the encirclement, the shopkeeper and the bodyguard didn't expect such a situation at all, Zhao Ling'er was not surprised, put away all the money on the ground, stuffed it on Xiaodouzi's body, and said: "These are given to you by uncles and uncles, thank you quickly." ”

Li Xiaoyao smiled: "You can run the rivers and lakes to perform arts!" ”

Ling'er opened her big watery eyes and asked puzzledly, "Running the rivers and lakes to perform arts?" What is that? ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "Ming'er will take you to the street to see the excitement, and you will know." ”

The people gradually dispersed, but Li Xiaoyao saw Feng Jie standing outside the store and constantly hooking his index finger at Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er, as if to call them over.

"Brother Feng, is there anything else?" Li Xiaoyao thought that Feng Jie had completed the task he gave him very well this time, and he couldn't help but hold his head high, feeling that he had taken a big step on the road to becoming a hero.

Feng Jie nodded, as if praising Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er's behavior this time, and said, "Yes, you have solved the matter very well this time." By the way, I've found a place to live, so we don't have to sleep on the streets tonight. ”

"Really?!" Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er are very happy, of course, it is ten thousand times better to have a place to live than to sleep on the streets.

Feng Jie pointed to a green-clothed scholar beside him and said, "No, this is Brother Liu Jinyuan, if it weren't for his warm invitation, we would really be sleeping on the streets today." ”

Although the green-clothed scholar Liu Jinyuan looked knowledgeable, his face was still a little red and swollen, and he seemed to have suffered some flesh and skin, after hearing Feng Jie's words, Liu Jinyuan hurriedly waved his hand and said: "Where is it, if it weren't for Feng Daxia to come to the rescue, I'm afraid that I would be beaten to death by a strong man." I heard that the three of them came out of this place, and they didn't find a place to stay for a while, if they don't dislike it, they might as well come to the house of their relatives and live together for a night, how about it? ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "Huh? Can it really be? ”

"Of course, my uncle's house is very spacious, there are many rooms, and there are people waiting, which is much more comfortable than outside!"

Li Xiaoyao looked at Zhao Ling'er, and couldn't bear her to suffer from the journey anymore, so he said, "Then there is this ...... Lao."

"The surname of the late birth is Liu, and the cheap name is Jin Yuan."

"Liu Gongzi, my name is Li Xiaoyao, and this is Miss Zhao."

The scholar named Liu Jinyuan led the way in front of him courteously, and the four of them walked into the city avenue and stopped in front of a high-gate mansion, the outer wall stretched for an unknown length, and it was conceivable that this must be a huge village. But when I listened to it, it was quiet, and there was no sound, so it can be seen that the servants and maids inside were strictly disciplined, and they went to bed at night, and there would be no activity.

Liu Jinyuan knocked on the door twice, and two black-clothed servants guarding the door opened the side door, saw him, and said, "Cousin, you are back, please come in." ”

"I brought two friends to stay with me, please help me clean the two rooms and prepare a small banquet."

"Yes." The servant answered and respectfully invited them in.
