Chapter 15: The Old Man and the Young Man (I)
The side dishes were quickly served, and the steaming five side dishes had the three characteristics of color, flavor, and flavor, and the old shopkeeper didn't know where to move the screen to block the table where the three people were, and it was arranged very properly.

The old shopkeeper thought very clearly, it was a female dependent, and he didn't want to show his face, and it was too awkward to eat in his pocket when eating, so he moved this screen, this move made Bairenshan nod and smile to express his gratitude, he didn't arch his hand, who knows what the etiquette of this place is, in case the meaning of arching his hand is the same as the middle finger.
I can vaguely hear the voices of people outside, looking around through the screen, faintly walking and swaying, Nero and Artoria took off their hats, leaking out the covered faces, Artoria learned to use chopsticks under the guidance of Bairen Mountain, took a bite of meat jelly, and after the trembling meat jelly was sent to her mouth, her eyes obviously lit up, and she began to feast with a happy expression.
During this period, Bairenshan has been listening to the sound outside, those drunken people's drunken words are varied, in order to screen and compare, this meal has been added several times, and they are all eaten cleanly, but also thanks to Bairenshan's thick skin, dare to face the emotions in the heart of the old shopkeeper.
A sigh of seeing a hamster eat five catties of meat......
During this period, it took a total of nearly two hours, and the three of them also understood a little bit about the face of this world, most of which was useless information, such as saying that there was a big devil in this town a long time ago who shocked the rivers and lakes or something, and the useful, compared again and again, there are only a few kinds of information with high credibility.
There are rivers and lakes, sects, and the court, listening to the conversations of many people, the court seems to be very mediocre, and the local execution is not high, and there is no authority, otherwise which ordinary people dare to say a word about the court affairs of rural legends.
The people here call the energy they use true qi, and the specific information is unknown.
A lot of talk is mostly nonsense and rumors, which is not credible.
Two hours of hard work was not in vain, and the knowledge of screening was quite scarce, but at least it fed Artoria...... Isn't it?
The three of Bairenshan have been staying for too long, one table after another, the guests have come and gone, gone and come, and the three who want to continue to go around decided to leave here, just waiting for Artoria to finish drinking this pot of chicken soup with a rich aroma, at this time there is an emotional reflection outside that makes Bairenshan feel comfortable for the first time.
The previous emotional reflection of others was like making Bairenshan feel uncomfortable swallowing a mouthful of soot and soaking water, especially the mood fluctuations of the drunkard will be more intense, and Bairenshan has to turn on the induction of herringbone in order to screen and compare information, which makes him have no appetite even in the face of these fragrant meals, most of the emotions are resentment, discomfort, venting, bad feelings towards others, and Lao Tzu's emotions such as how and what, this is a very ordinary emotion, most drunk people are like this, One or two rare melancholy emotions are not emotions that make people feel comfortable.
At this time, the mood is full of sunshine, self-confidence and beauty, and this mood is as refreshing as the first rays of sunlight from the sky to the earth after several days of heavy snow in winter.
Hiss...... Refreshing!
There is no harm if there is no contrast, this emotion made Bairenshan secretly exhale comfortably, and felt that the old phlegm in his throat disappeared invisibly, Bairenshan took a step away from the bench, and looked at the person with that emotion through the gap in the screen, it was a child...... Oh, it can be said that he is a teenager, he doesn't know how old he is, his shabby clothes are full of patches, and he is very clean, about one meter six, and he has a wooden sword with various notches in his hand, and the slightly exposed handle is shiny, like playing with the best wooden beads that have been raised for many years.
It's kind of interesting...... This thought flashed in his mind, Bairenshan continued to sense the emotions of the old shopkeeper and the young man, the old shopkeeper Gujing Wubo's mood brought some happiness, and Bairenshan also suddenly realized what he felt was wrong, an old shopkeeper...... When receiving such a large ingot of silver, there was not much pleasant emotion, as if it was just a little thing with a little happiness, this mood did not matter in front of a rich man, but the furnishings of this place and the old shopkeeper's washed and faded clothes should not have this kind of mood at all, at least it was not ecstasy or great joy, but the result was a slight joy......
The old shopkeeper and the young man began to talk, and the young man said happily: "Old grandson, why is there such a thing here?" The young man pointed to the screen where the Hundred People Mountain was located, and at the same time, in order not to be discovered, they found themselves observing them, turned back and sat down on the bench and continued to listen, only to hear the sound from the direction of the counter outside the screen.
"Guests have come to the table." The old shopkeeper's voice was like a grandfather explaining something to his grandson.
"Hey, congratulations." The boy's sly voice.
"I don't know your careful thoughts, I don't know, you're going to be disappointed, the guests at this table don't have the habit of wasting, don't think about leftovers or anything."
"Huh? That'......" the boy's voice was a little low.
"But today, I have a big deal income, and I will let you eat a fresh meal when the guests are gone."
"Really?" The sudden joy seemed to be unbelievable.
"It's a lie to you, but you have to drink two cups with your grandson."
"Okay!" The mood of joy was as if he had experienced the best thing in the world, and this mood even infected Bairen Mountain, making him unconsciously smile at the corner of his mouth.
The young man was a little overwhelmed with joy after learning the old shopkeeper's intentions, and wanted to thank the guests at this table, so he hurriedly rushed to the screen and thanked the three of them. ”
Seeing Bairenshan come out, the old shopkeeper pulled the young man's ear and sincerely apologized to Bairenshan, and Bairenshan walked over and helped the two of them to bend down and said: "It doesn't have to be like this, I can't afford the old man's bow, and this little brother is also a little interesting, why do you want to say thank you to us?" Bairenshan pretended that he hadn't heard the two of them talking at the counter just now.
It's not a matter of hearing, but in a noisy tavern, ordinary people can't hear what others are saying at all, and if you hear what others are saying, then you can only hear clearly if you are deliberately listening, what does listening mean, and listen purposefully......
The young man smiled a little honestly, he pinched the corner of his clothes with his hand, he was embarrassed, but he didn't know what to say, the old shopkeeper said apologetically: "Xiao Langjun's reward is a big amount, I will eat something good to this melon baby, this melon baby will come to thank Xiao Langjun, and I hope Xiao Langjun will forgive me for the conflict." ”
waved his hand to indicate that it was okay, and Bairenshan's immature face showed an innocent smile: "It's okay, old shopkeeper, this little brother is your grandson?" ”
After the old shopkeeper saw that Bairenshan didn't mind this abruptness, he let go of the hand that was twisting the young man's ears and pushed him aside, the young man stuck out his tongue and bent down slightly for Bairenshan, ran to the counter, picked up the wooden sword and walked through the door curtain to the backyard.
The old shopkeeper said: "Sort of, he often came to me when he was a child, and he was very familiar with Xiao Lao'er, and Xiao Lao'er had no relatives, so he treated him as a grandson." ”
Bairenshan nodded, and then with a look of interest, he said sincerely: "Like those things in the legends of the rivers and lakes, there is no blood relationship but like blood relatives, the old shopkeeper, I have a hobby below, that is, I like to listen to the people in various places, which helps me grow up in the next, and it is also the reason why my father is required to follow the two sisters in the next." ”
Nero in the screen almost laughed, and what Hundred People Mountain said was the same as the truth. And the old shopkeeper also looked at the ingot of silver, so he didn't refute anything, and nodded and said: "Since Xiao Langjun is interested, then Xiao Lao'er will talk about it." He brought a bench from the empty table next to him and arranged for him to sit down, and then he himself sat on another bench.
"Little Lao'er had very early contact with this melon baby, probably eight or nine years ago, this melon baby fell in front of the door in the heavy snow, hungry like a thin monkey, Xiao Lao'er couldn't watch people die in front of him, so he hugged him in, there was nothing good in the cold, and he was stunned by a mouthful of rice soup to save him."
"The old shopkeeper is a good man."
"Alas, where did the good man come from, the little old man just can't bear it, after saving this child, there is one more person to eat rations, which is better than the fat and strong old cook in the kitchen, since he has been saved, and he is embarrassed to throw him away, I can only let him fight in my place, this back and forth, I will be one more grandson, and I will eat so many things from the little old man, and I should always give the little old man to support the elderly in the future."
"It's like God gave the old shopkeeper a descendant, but then what? I don't think this little brother showed up when the old shopkeeper was busy. ”
The old shopkeeper's face was pulled, and he drank at the curtain leading to the backyard: "Gua Wazi, don't come yet!" I forgot about this, grandson, where did you go?! ”
The young man who opened the door curtain and secretly watched the two stuck out his tongue, trotted to Lao Sun's side with a wooden sword, and then lowered his head to admit his mistake, Lao Sun slapped him on the back of the head: "What did you do today!" ”
"Go... Go..."The young man couldn't speak, but Bairenshan felt that this seemed to be very familiar, and according to the normal routine, it seemed that this young man should go to eavesdrop on private schools and other things.
In the gloom of the old shopkeeper, the young man finally finished this sentence: "Go and find the legendary demon in the town......"
……………… This routine is not right, Bairenshan almost got out of the disguised expression of interest, he never thought that it would be this answer, but the word demon made him secretly wonder in his heart, could it be that there is a hermit master in this town? This kid is the protagonist of this world?
Another slap on the young man's head, the old shopkeeper hated iron and steel, and said: "The legend more than fifty years ago, if you have a father, your father has this legend when he was not born, and the devil, the demon ancestors are all dying of old age." ”
