Chapter 106: Diners
The fat pavilion chief kept staring at whether he would return or not, and Wu Mian blinked his eyes, and only after a long time did he calculate the seniority of the two people. At that moment, he turned back to the village chief and said, "Did you go back to show off the two of us to worship, and then you villagers came to me to be a senior?" Lao Xiang, after that, these two ancestors belong to the two of you, let's talk about it. ”
As he spoke, the guy had already brought bacon, air-dried chicken, and a few other dishes together. The fat pavilion chief didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, and directly tore off a chicken thigh and put it in his mouth to chew. Wu Mian and Gui Bugui ate some dishes that he didn't touch with his hands, and then put down their chopsticks.
Although there are two old immortals who are courageous, but the village chief's habits for many years, he still dare not offend this pavilion elder. kept pouring wine and cloth dishes for the fat pavilion chief, and among several people, he didn't eat or drink anything in the end. While the fat pavilion chief was eating and drinking, the village chief said with a smile: "I've been in a hurry these days, and I forgot to report something to you." As you heard earlier, there are a few relatives in the house. When they crossed the Wujiang River, the boat capsized, and the guide and the luggage they carried fell into the Wujiang River. According to the rules of our hometown, grandparents and grandchildren cannot live in the same room. Want them to stay at an inn in town, right? The road leads to ......"
"Isn't it just for me to be a guarantor, we are all sworn brothers, what does my mother-in-law do - no." Just listening to the push in front of the fat pavilion chief, he almost patted his chest and agreed. I didn't expect to refuse so simply in the end, but the village chief is used to the fat pavilion chief's style. He felt something out of his arms and stuffed it into the pavilion chief's hand, and when he couldn't return to his eyes, he saw the fat pavilion chief stuffing a small string of copper coins into his arms.
After the fat pavilion chief drank a glass of wine, he hugged the village chief and said, "Old Xiang, this is really not my brother who is embarrassing you. You don't know, I just received an order from the county guard. His Royal Highness the King of Huainan Liu Chang came to worship the river, and he wanted to rest in our town today. After a while, the county guard will come to the house, and they will be checked from house to house, and all idle people are not allowed to stay here. If you and your two ancestors live here normally, it's not a problem today......"
"Sacrificial river?" The expression on the village chief's face was a little stunned, and after glancing at Gui Fu and Wu Mian, he continued to say to the fat pavilion chief: "This time is not right, I just came here last year." It should be two years later, but what is this year? ”
After swallowing the bacon in his mouth, the fat pavilion chief continued: "King Huainan is not tired, what are you talking about. By the way, I just met you. Go back and let the people of your village stay away from the river today, and it is not a joke to collide with the prince. ”
"Huainan King Liu Chang......" seemed to think of something, and then he smiled and carried the wine jug to the fat pavilion chief's side, and after personally pouring him a glass of wine, he said with a smile: "Pavilion chief, we are all from the countryside and don't understand the rules, don't be surprised by your old man." Inquire about your old man, is there still anyone in the Liu royal family who accepts Fang Shi as diners? I have a distant nephew who has studied magic for a few years and wants to go to the door of a king surnamed Liu to eat. I don't know if your old man has this way? ”
As he spoke, the old guy also took out a yellow and clear object from his arms and stuffed it into the fat pavilion chief's hand.
Golden Cake! After seeing the things in his hand clearly, the fat pavilion chief's heart jumped into one. He trembled and stuffed the golden cake into his arms, but his hand was not stretched out, and he kept holding the golden cake with his arms in his arms.
"Ancestor, you're really right to ask this." For the sake of the golden cake, the fat pavilion chief was not arguing with the village chief, he took the initiative to pull himself to the same generation as the village chief of Hexiang, and after stabilizing his mind, he continued: "If you ask other pavilion chiefs, they really don't know about it. The Wujiang River here is the place where the overlord of Western Chu killed himself, and after Gaozu ascended the throne, he issued a holy decree that every three years a prince and grandson of the Liu family should come here to worship the river on behalf of Gaozu. In the first few times, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince personally came to worship the river, and after the prince ascended the throne, His Royal Highness the King of Huainan came to worship the river. ”
When he said this, the fat pavilion chief breathed a sigh of relief, and after drinking a glass of wine, he continued: "The last few times, His Royal Highness the King of Huainan has come to worship the river, don't you know, our King of Huainan naturally likes the techniques of Huang Lao and Fang Shi. There are often monks in and out of the palace, and if there are close monks, they don't need to be courted by the officials in the palace. When I came to worship the river these times, I was followed by Fang Shi in front of and behind me. Go home and tell your nephew that as long as you have real skills, His Royal Highness the King of Huainan will definitely use it. ”
After hearing what the fat pavilion chief said, he glanced back at Wu Mian. After the two of them looked at each other for a while, he took out a piece of gold cake from his arms and stuffed it to the fat pavilion chief: "Pavilion chief, the two of us are from a small place, and we have never seen such a character as His Royal Highness King Huainan." Let's see if you can make it easier for you to send us two on an errand. Let the two of us have the opportunity to meet characters like Fengzi and Longsun. ”
At this time, the fat pavilion chief did a difficult job, this matter is not trivial, if there is a mistake or two mistakes, not only these two countrymen, but even their own heads are difficult to protect. But let him spit out the golden cake that he had already arrived, this pavilion chief master would never be able to do it. After thinking about it, the fat pavilion chief suddenly gritted his teeth and said to Gui Bugui and Wu Mian: "Then give you a chance to smoke from the ancestral tomb, remember, you two are my distant relatives, and I brought you here to help because the official office didn't have enough manpower." I'll go to the official office to say hello to you first, and after half an hour, the two of you will come to the official office with Lao Xiang to find me. ”
After finishing speaking, the fat pavilion chief wiped his mouth. After a few polite words with the village chief and the two strangers, they left the small restaurant. As he left, he put one hand in his bosom and clutched the two pieces of gold cakes tightly, so he almost took out the gold cakes and put them in his mouth and bit them twice.
After watching the fat pavilion chief walk away, Wu Mian glanced at the old guy and said, "The two of us were driven down the mountain together, and I have been guarding you, but I didn't even find out that you also brought the golden cake down." Or did you already know that Yan Aihou was going to drive us down, and you had already prepared the travel expenses in advance? ”
"These are the two apprentices who honor me" After smiling at Wu Mian, he continued: "I melted all the gold jewelry they had forced up the mountain before, and melted it into five gold cakes to carry with me, I am not like you, if you don't have this magic on your body, you won't have it, and if you don't bring anything to your body, you won't have a bottom in your heart." ”
Seeing that the two of them weren't playing, the village chief came over and said with a smiling face: "Two immortals, don't you really plan to see King Huainan?" Otherwise, let's stay away for a while, and we'll come back after King Huainan's sacrifice. Further east is Wujiang County. I have an acquaintance who works as an errand in the county office, and even if there is no guide, we can find an inn to stay. ”
"I'm staying here today" After looking back at the village chief, he smiled and continued: "I don't plan to go to the old fairy, it's good here." There is one more thing I want to explain to you, from this point on, you have to follow the two of us closely. Do not leave the sight of us......"
The village chief's heart began to feel at a loss when he said this, and he swallowed his saliva. After relieving himself for a while, he continued: "Two old immortals, what is going on? Something to do with my overlord? Or the weirdo from last night? ”
"Don't think about it, scare yourself again." When he spoke, his eyes had already turned to Wu Mian's body. He said with a smile: "Recently, I have been surrounded by those people from the Cantonese generation, and I almost forgot that there are also Fang Shi who are the same generation as Xu Fu." When I first sat under that old fellow, there were no more monks of his age in the Fang Shi sect. But there are still a few people outside who have been kicked out of the door wall, and my old man said that people like this have not moved for so many years. If it weren't for the sudden memory that there were princes who liked to raise alchemists as diners, I would have thought that those old guys would have died......"
