Chapter 25: Out of the Mountain

"Hmph, evil animal, if you dare to come out, then you are killing yourself." When I sighed, Uncle Zhang suddenly snorted coldly, then turned his head and said to us, "You go out first, I have something to do, leave for a while." ”

After speaking, Uncle Zhang actually got into the grass next to him with his dexterity, but no matter how we shouted, there was no movement.

"Well, do any of you remember the way you came?" Uncle Zhang left suddenly, leaving us a group of people who didn't know the road at all, so everyone looked at the Taobao King and pinned their hopes on him.

"Don't look at me, I also inadvertently broke into here last time, only Uncle Zhang knows how to go." The Taobao King shook his head.

"Alas, if Cheng Li was still alive, he would know, because he has a knack for remembering." At the mention of this topic, You Liang's eyes suddenly turned red again.

"Well, don't be too sad, although I don't know exactly how to go, but I still have some memories of the general route, but I may have to take some detours." Taobao king.

"It's okay. As long as you can get out of this damn place, you're afraid you won't find your way back? Liu Yanming said optimistically.

"Well, let's go."

Following the Taobao King while groping forward, he walked from noon to side, and walked for more than four hours, and finally walked out of this forest and arrived on an empty road. The road was more than three meters wide, uncemented, and curved towards the front. On the horse road, because there are not many vehicles coming and going, it has long been overgrown with weeds, and the tallest ones have grown to the waist of people.

"This road is desolate, it has been abandoned for a long time, but we should find a way out by walking along this road."

The Taobao King squinted his eyes and looked ahead, and the corners of his eyes were full of exhaustion. Yes, after running around for so long, I haven't had a good rest, and now how we wish we could get out of this damn place.

After walking along the road for more than an hour, the mountain in front of us gradually flattened out, and we finally found a mountain top of more than 10 meters on the right side of the road.

"It seems that there is no endless road, not only will there be a place to live tonight, but also a hot soup to drink." The Taobao King grinned, found a path on the side of the road, and walked towards the mountain. After walking for less than a few minutes, I saw an ancient and dilapidated courtyard in front of me, and the words 'Little Er Inn' were written on the plaque on the courtyard door.

"Haha, it turned out to be an inn, I didn't expect there to be an inn in the deep mountains, with the inn, we can ask them for directions tomorrow, and we will soon be able to reach the nearest county seat." The Taobao King took the lead and entered the courtyard.

At this moment, there is an old man lying on a rocking chair woven of bamboo in the courtyard, with his eyes closed, puffing in the clouds and smoke, basking in the afterglow of the sunset, looking extremely enjoyable.

"Excuse me, is the shopkeeper there?" Taobao Wang Dajiang has been walking north and south for many years, and he has already looked like a veteran of the rivers and lakes, and when he saw the old man, he hurriedly arched his hands and asked.

"Oh? I'm the shopkeeper, lodging or eating? Well, it's so late, it should be to stay, Xiao Er, there are guests coming, hurry out to receive them. The old man squinted, glanced at the Taobao King, and then closed his eyes, as if none of us existed, and continued to rock the chair as if he was enjoying it.

"Come on, how many guests are here? How many rooms do you have to live? I'm the second shopkeeper here, I'm in charge of entertaining you, do you want to eat first? "A young man ran out of the wooden dilapidated inn, and as soon as he came up, he greeted us warmly. It's just that he looks extremely ugly, and his whole face is as if it has been burned by fire, black and terrifying, and the black scars are connected together, just like an old book cover, which is extremely terrifying, and when he laughs, a row of strange yellow teeth is even more irregularly long, and it is very disgusting. If I hadn't known that he was the shopkeeper here, I would have even thought that I had seen a ghost, so I immediately raised my head and pretended to look at the clouds, not daring to look at him again.

"Is it really unsaved, can't you tell that they are four people? Can't you see that they have just arrived here and need to eat before resting? You are the second shopkeeper in the store, you don't entertain them, do you want me, an old bone, to entertain them personally? The old uncle, who originally looked quite kind, seemed to be angered by the words of the shopkeeper, his eyes widened sharply, and he looked at the shopkeeper viciously, "I have raised you for so many years, and there is no progress at all, it is better to raise a piece of, I will act quickly, don't neglect the guests." ”

Although the shopkeeper looks to be seventy or eighty years old, he still gives people a sense of vigor and vigor when he starts to get angry, and his momentum is compelling. The shopkeeper was immediately frightened and his legs weakened, knelt down, and kowtowed to the shopkeeper to admit his mistake: "Shopkeeper, don't drive me away, I'll learn a lesson, shopkeeper, go around me"

"Excuse me, but I made you laugh." The shopkeeper who was still angry just now turned his head, put on a kind smile again, and said to Taobao Wang, "This little two has been burned by the fire since he was a child, and his brain has also been burned out, so he is very confused, don't be surprised." ”

"Why don't you get up and prepare dinner for the guests?" The shopkeeper shouted angrily again, and the shopkeeper suddenly stood up quickly, ran to the kitchen with a cigarette, and began to make trouble. It can be seen that the shopkeeper is extremely afraid of this shopkeeper.

"In this barren mountain range, the old man is also trying to paint a clean one, so the business is not very good, and there are only three people in the store and two or four people in the shop." The shopkeeper led us into the inn, found a place to sit down, and then walked to the staircase, and shouted upstairs, "Mother-in-law, flowers, come down to eat, there are four guests today." ”

Soon, I heard the sound of wood slamming upstairs, but I saw an old woman leading a woman like a flower and jade downstairs.

"You eat first, the second child will take you to the second floor to stay later, and the old man will not accompany you." After speaking, the shopkeeper led the two women into a room, pulled the door open, and no sound came again.

At this time, there was silence all around, except for the occasional sound of the shopkeeper chopping vegetables in the kitchen in the courtyard.

"It's really a good place, when I'm old and tired of the world, I have to find this pure place to spend my old age in peace." The Taobao King seemed to be very satisfied with the life of the shopkeeper, and said with a yearning face.

"Taobao King, it's too early for you to say this." On the side, You Liang's shrewd eyes rolled around the corner, and after looking around, he suddenly lowered his voice and said to us, "Didn't you notice that there was something wrong with the writing in this store?" ”

"What's wrong?" Liu Yanming asked.

"First, it's very wrong for this inn to be called Xiao Er Inn, according to my observation, that Xiao Er is so afraid of the shopkeeper, he has no status at all, how can he name Xiao Er Inn?"

"Second, it's so quiet here, even in the middle of nowhere, at least there should be insects and birds, but there are none. Thirdly, don't you think it is strange that the old woman and the beautiful woman came downstairs as if they had not seen us at all, and did not even turn their faces? And this house is so dilapidated, it is estimated that it is at least three or four hundred years old, and it always gives people a feeling of panic. ”

"You're too careful, I don't think so." Taobao King said with a smile, "In the past, I traveled south and north for decades, and when I lived in the guest house, I often encountered the situation of black eating black, especially in the wilderness, but just like them, if you really want to eat black, it will not be us who will suffer, haha." ”

"Come on, the guest officer has been waiting for a long time, and the meal is ready." Not long after, the shopkeeper shouted, carried two dishes, and walked over. I have to say that although the little second chief of this shop is a little scary, the food is still very delicious, which may be the reason why the shopkeeper has kept him.

After we were full of wine and food, the shopkeeper led us up the stairs and walked to the second floor, but the strange thing is that in the twenty or thirty minutes we ate, the shopkeeper and his daughter-in-law and daughter did not come out after entering the room, and there was no sound in the room.

"This guest officer, do you think I'm terrifying, so you look down on me?" There were four of us in four rooms, You Liang and the others entered their respective rooms one after another, and I chose the side room, so I was the last to enter. But just as my front foot stepped into the door, the shopkeeper suddenly tugged at the corner of my clothes and said with a cold face.

"Hehe, where, how is it possible, in fact, your meals are good, quite to my liking, you have the talent of a chef." I said embarrassedly.

"Oh, then why don't you dare look me in the eye? Why do you hold your head high when you see me in the courtyard, isn't this looking down on me? Xiao Er said with some excitement in his tone.

"No, no, you misunderstood, I didn't mean that." I explained.

"Huh." Unexpectedly, Xiao Er ignored my explanation at all, the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked, and he looked at me with a playful smile, and sneered, "You people, all of you are self-righteous, self-righteous people, and they don't end well." With that, he turned around and walked downstairs.

After Xiao Er's figure disappeared around the corner, I entered the room, closed the door, and then sat in the corner of the bed a little depressed, I didn't expect that my unintentional behavior would bring so much harm to Xiao Er, I couldn't help but blame myself in my heart.

"His heart may be more fragile, he is usually called by the shopkeeper, and he may want to be respected." I thought about how to make up for this mistake, but because I was too sleepy because of the days of running, I turned my head and closed my eyes, and I fell asleep like this.
