Chapter 158: Atonement

Wu Mian and the carriage that did not return went all the way, and finally entered Dingxiang County in the Hetao area after more than half a month. The Fortune Rat marked on the map was near a high mountain in Yunzhong County, north of the Hetao, and it was still three to five days away.

The convoy entered a county town in Dingxiangjun, and the chief took everyone to the inn that had been arranged. Then he went to work to change the horses and supplies, and took advantage of this opportunity, Wu Mian and Gui Wu and the group of people wandered around the county street, planning to find a pleasing wine shop to eat and drink. Although it is not as rich as the Central Plains, it is mainly Hu food, plus the grape wine of the Hu people, compared with the Central Plains food, it also has a unique flavor to eat and drink.

I found a wine shop that looked clean and sat down, the boss was a Hu man from the Western Regions, and under the recommendation of the boss, everyone ordered a roast lamb and a side dish with the style of the Western Regions.

It takes about an hour to roast the sheep, and the boss first brings side dishes and grape wine from the Western Regions, so that several old men can eat and drink to kill time. Xiao Rensan didn't care about others when he saw the wine, he drank one cup after another, and it didn't take long for it to drink a jar of wine by itself, and the little blushing began to talk drunk. It seems that there is no need to wait for the sheep to be cooked, the little one is almost drunk.

Bai Wuqiu glanced at Xiao Ren San, who began to giggle, and said to the returnee beside him: "Old guy, look at your family Ren San, you know wine at the dinner table, and you know Niangniang in the bathtub." This is your relative. Look at the way it looks, even the one over there who asks for food is better than it - old guy, look at the person who asks for food looks like the landlord surnamed Chicken...... That's him! ”

Looking as far as Bai Wuqiu's eyes could see, he saw a ragged beggar in the distance, took out a wheat cake from his bosom and divided half of it to another beggar, and then divided the remaining half of the wheat cake to the mother and daughter who were begging. If it weren't for such a ridiculous thing as a beggar giving alms to a beggar, it wouldn't have attracted the attention of all hundred unsolicited people.

The last time we met, it was obvious that I sent someone to change the landlord into new clothes, and I gave him a bath, but I didn't expect to meet again when I was still the same beggar. He left after he sent Baijiang and Bai Zhong to the Demon Mountain before, and he didn't expect to meet here after so long.

After giving the wheat bread to the beggar, the landlord got up and walked in the direction of the outside of the city. When he passed near the liquor store, he suddenly heard a familiar voice: "Isn't this our landlord?" Am I here for your master and apprentice? I saw you two disciples two days ago, and I saw you again today...... Come in and sit down, the roast sheep will be cooked in a while. Knowing that you are from Bigu, it doesn't matter if you eat and drink once in a while. ”

The landlord didn't expect to meet acquaintances in this small county, and he didn't want to meet much. At that moment, he saluted the people and demons in the wine shop, and said, "It turned out to be a few of you, and I went in like this to hinder the boss's business." Forget it, wait until everyone returns to the Central Plains and have a chance to get together again. ”

"Back to the Central Plains? Can you still go back? Wu Mian raised his eyelids and glanced at the landlord, and then continued: "Your disciple called Limo or Mo Li, let us bring you a message." If you die in the hands of Yuanchang, the world will be in chaos. Now Yuanchang should also be looking for you, if you don't want the world to be in chaos, you still have a good ...... to commit suicide."

Hearing Wu Mian mention Limo and Yuanchang, the expression on the landlord's face became bitter. These two disciples are the people he is most sorry for, and the landlord has already made up his mind to put his life in the hands of Yuan Chang. Now hearing that Limo stopped him, this former disciple's reason made the landlord's determination begin to waver a little.

"You have seen Mo Li, I haven't seen him for so many years, how is he now?" After sighing, the landlord began to ask a few people in the liquor store about Limo's whereabouts.

"He is also in this county, and he was injured by another good disciple of yours, Yuan Chang, not long ago, and is now recuperating in the inn." After smiling, he continued: "If you want to meet him, come in and have a drink together." After you have eaten and drunk enough, I will take you to see Limo, old man. ”

The landlord glanced at the owner of the wine shop who was already frowning, smiled bitterly at the moment, and said: "I dress up like this to delay other people's business, you just eat and drink, I'll wait for you here." No rush ......"

After calling a few times to return or not, the landlord didn't go into the wine store, but just found a shady tree across the street to sit. Silently waiting for Wu Mian and returning to them to finish eating, seeing that the landlord insisted on refusing to come in, he asked for some wine and food for the guy to bring over for the landlord to enjoy. However, after seeing the wine and food, Ji Jiao gave these delicacies to the beggars nearby. Then he walked to the restaurant and handed the cutlery back to the wine shop, and thanked the old fellow for the beggars who had run away after eating.

With such a person waiting, this meal can't be eaten with peace of mind. After the whole sheep was roasted, Wu Mian did not eat it or not, and ordered the men to carry it to their inn. Then he returned to the inn with the landlord.

After these days of recuperation, Limo's injury has improved a bit, and he can walk slowly, but it will take a little time to recover as before. Hearing the sound of someone entering the door from outside his room, Limo didn't think much about it, thinking that it was a return to check his wounds.

"Mo Li, I haven't seen you for many years, I can't imagine that we will meet again like this......" A familiar voice sounded, making Limo's body shake. After a moment, he turned away from the man who was speaking.

Seeing that Limo ignored himself, the landlord sighed, and then continued: "What happened back then was that I was bent on collapsing the Fangshi Sect and using you as an abandoned son to block Guangren's return. Risking your life to fulfill my ambitions, every time I think about it over the years, I feel guilty...... Fortunately, you were saved by Xi Yingzhen, and you didn't make a big mistake......"

"Mo Li? You recognize the wrong person, my name is Limo ......" Limo didn't look back, and after sneering, he continued: "There is one thing you still said wrong, your disciple named Mo Li is dead, and the big mistake has been made and cannot be recovered. You don't have to be so polite when you meet each other. ”

Speaking of this, Limo paused, slowly turned around, stared into the eyes of the landlord and said, "Although we don't have any friendship, there is one thing I still want to tell you." There is a monk named Yuanchang, and he is plotting a great deal against you. If both of you die at the hands of Monk Yuanchang, he will become a great scourge that even Guangren and the volcano can't shake. The two of you used to be a master and apprentice, and you know better than me what he will do after he has the invincible ability in the world......."

"Yuanchang ......" mentioned another name that made the landlord feel guilty, and he sighed again. After a pause, the landlord understood what Limo meant: "The two of us can't die at the hands of Yuan Chang, can we?" Then I understand what to do. Thank you Mo...... Mr. Limo informed about the event. For so many years, I have always been nostalgic for Mr. Limo, and I have no regrets when I see him today. Please rest assured, Mr. Limo, I won't let Yuanchang kill the two of us. ”

After finishing speaking, the landlord knelt on the ground and bowed to Limo, who turned his body to the side. Then he stood up and left the room silently without saying a word.

After going out, I saw No Return and Bai Wuqiu standing at the door. The old guy smiled at the landlord and said, "How is it?" When I met my former disciples, did I get my wish? Look at your happy sigh......"

The landlord smiled bitterly and said, "Don't laugh at Mr. Return, after all, I'm sorry for Mr. Limo." The original landlord is gone, and there is only one Ji prison waiting to atone for his sins. ”

"Then you should atone for your sins against Limo first." He smiled and continued: "He was plotted by Monk Yuanchang twice, and it is almost the third time, you can't watch it, right?" ”
