Chapter 82: A Chance Encounter
Wu Song was hungry and thirsty all the way, and he hurried along the remote path, unconsciously leaving the territory of Qinghe.
He deliberately controls the frequency and amount of alcohol he drinks, so as not to lose control of his power after drinking.
It was just a little bit, the visions he had seen on that day, the day he had helped his brother intercept the villains, but more and more appeared in his dreams, as if those brutal wars were all remembered as well as he had seen in his previous life.
Where do you come from? Where will it go?
He ran all the way during the day, had nightmares at night, and woke up from his dreams several times drenched in sweat.
When I woke up and saw the palms of my arms and hands, the green muscles were salamanders, the muscles were bulging, and the ears were like the neighing of military horses and the roar of guns and swords.
Did these hands really once put on their livers and galls and beheaded thousands of people in battle?
One thing can be confirmed is that that he stopped the gangsters chasing his brother that day, but he only used a slight trick to facilitate the severed arm and stump, which was miserable.
How is it different from my brother and other people?
The volume that Wu Song carried with him had long been spent, and he could only cut the path and forcibly seize it, and the unlucky merchants who were robbed saw that he was powerful and fierce, and they often spent money to buy their lives. Wu Song just walked around without direction, and he didn't realize that he had reached the boundary of Dongping.
On this day, his pocket and belly were empty, and he was thinking about finding a suitable "donor" as usual to give him some money for food and lodging.
I saw a sedan chair from afar, and looking at the range of movements of the sedan chair drivers in front and behind, I knew that the person sitting there must be a rich and noble body.
Wu Song made up his mind to rob this person.
He jumped from a tree and landed right in front of the palanquin.
The sedan chair driver who was walking on the road was naturally terrified when he saw such a tall man descending from the sky, but their professional ethics also made them not flee from the road, but stared blankly at the strongman in front of them.
The "heavyweight" in the sedan chair found that the sedan chair had stopped, and while pulling the curtain to poke out a fat head, he shouted in his mouth: "Why did it stop here?" If you miss my important business, can you afford it? ”
After he finished reading the palanquin, he saw that they looked frightened, and when he looked forward with their frightened eyes, he saw Wu Song, and a trace of fear flashed in his eyes.
Wu Song saw that he had a fat head and big ears, and he was full of fat stomachs, and thought that today's business was good, and he was happy to see him.
Who knew that before Wu Song could speak, the man preemptively asked: "Dare to ask this hero, do you know where the 'Bright Restaurant' goes?" ”
Wu Song was suspicious and thought: Strange! Do I look like a service industry that actively stops others from consulting the direction of the route for free?
He crossed his hand to his chest and said, "Less nonsense! Uncle is here for nothing else, leave the money to buy the road and release him immediately! What 'Bright Restaurant', 'Dark Hotel'? Uncle doesn't have time to pay attention to this! ”
The fat-headed and big-eared man looked puzzled, as if he was not at all frightened by Wu Song's words.
He turned his head and disappeared into the sedan chair, and after a while, he showed his head again, but he took out a bag of seemingly heavy baggage in his hand and threw it to Wu Song.
"It turns out that the hero is not a local! That's okay, this is a hundred taels of silver, and you should ask for the fare. I hope that the hero will let me go, and there are really important things waiting to be handled in the next place! ”
Wu Song didn't expect this person to deal with it like this, holding this burden, and was stunned for a while. Looking at the man's eager eyes, it didn't seem to be a joke, and he was just trying to entangle, so he waved his hand and let go. As if they had been pardoned, the two palanquin men anointed their feet with oil under their feet and ran forward like a fly. The fat man leaned out two fist-clasped hands in the proud window to express his gratitude to himself.
Wu Song didn't expect today's business to be so good, and he took the interests into his arms, but he became interested in this "bright hotel".
He also quietly followed the sedan chair just now, wondering what was mysterious in it.
Although Dongping is a small place in Shandong, Wu Song saw merchants traveling in three or five groups when he was tracking the road, and there was an endless stream of travelers. He vaguely heard everyone talking about the words "light" and "restaurant", and it seemed that they were all heading for this place.
Wu Song saw that many people were eager for a wine shop, and he was very curious, and he wanted to follow everyone to find out.
After walking a few miles, I found that there were more and more people, as if I was rushing to visit the temple fair during the New Year's holidays, and when I came to a fork in the road at the hillside, people were stagnant and seemed to have reached their destination.
Wu Song looked up, and on the flat ground of the hillside, there was a tall cloth banner with four big characters written on it: Guangming Restaurant. Next to the guise is an ordinary restaurant, but for some reason it has such a big attraction, waiting to enter the store from the hillside to the bottom of the hillside, donkey carts, horse carriages, sedan chairs, bamboo chairs, all kinds of transportation, all kinds of people, etc., and so on. The long queue stretched from the door of the restaurant to the edge of the farmland below the hillside, and there were 100 people to say the least. The sedan chair that he had just "met by chance" was a few positions in front of him.
Wu Song "couldn't help it" all the way and stood in front of the sedan chair. When the people saw him standing in front of the sedan chair, they thought they were a group, so they didn't care.
Under the scorching sun, the fat guest in the sedan chair was hot, rolled up the sedan window, held a folding fan in his hand, and fanned himself desperately, but he was still sweating because of his rich figure.
He saw Wu Song standing outside the sedan chair at this time, clasped his hands into fists and saluted again, and said, "I never thought of meeting the hero here again!" ”
Wu Song saw that he didn't care about the fact that he had robbed him, and he was secretly surprised in his heart, but he intended to make friends, and he also clasped his hands into fists, and saluted him: "Please also forgive me for the crime of rudeness." This gift money ......," Wu Song said, and touched it into his arms.
The fat man brushed the fan and said lightly: "A good man doesn't need to be formal, this silver tael is something outside his body." Zhao also thanked the hero for his release. Heroes don't have to be polite, just smile. ”
Wu Song saw that he was so open and magnanimous, but it was not easy to resign repeatedly, so he had to thank him again and again.
He looked at the line in front and behind, and whispered to the fat customer surnamed "Zhao": "I don't know why the staff and so many guests are waiting in line here to enter the store?" What is the reason for this? ”
Zhao Yuanwai smiled slightly, and replied a little mysteriously: "The hero doesn't know, this 'Bright Restaurant' is a must here, the wine and coriander are good, and they are fragrant for thousands of miles." And uniquely, this store never accepts reservations, whether you are a dignitary or a commoner, you will always wait in line in front of the door to be seated, and there are no privileges. ”
Wu Song heard that Zhao Yuanwai was talking so lively, and thought to himself that it seems that the restaurant here is indeed famous, and such a realistic situation is not different from what he said, so he couldn't help but nod and said, "I see." ”
Zhao Yuanwai continued: "Zhao happened to come to Shandong to deal with some things, and he deliberately wanted to come here to try it, because he hired this sedan chair, and when he wanted to ask for directions in the woods, he didn't want to meet the hero first. It's really the fate of you and me! ”
Wu Song was embarrassed by what he said, scratched his head and asked, "I am also tormented by the outside staff!" The accent outside the listener doesn't look like a Qilu person, dare to ask where the outside is from? ”
Zhao Yuanwai said: "I am originally from Yanmen County, Daizhou. When you finish your business here, you have to rush back to where you came. ”
Wu Songzheng didn't know where to go, and when he heard him say this, he had a plan in his heart, so he said to him: "I bumped into Zhao Yuanwai this morning, and I feel guilty in my heart. Qinghe Wu Song is willing to escort Zhao Yuanwai to return to his hometown safely and return to his favors with apology. ”
Zhao Yuanwai was overjoyed when he heard this, closed the folding fan and patted his thigh, and said: "Since the hero has this heart, Zhao is not polite." Then there are labor heroes! Zhao has another reward! ”
Wu Song hurriedly thanked him again.
The queue stretched and moved very slowly, and the number of new diners who joined in the back continued to grow. More than two hours have passed since Wu Song lined up now, and he and Zhao Yuanwai's positions have only moved forward by about fifty places.
If you want to follow Wu Song's usual temper, you must be noisy and go to the front to comment on the reasoning. It's just that he recently got acquainted with Zhao Yuanwai, and it was not good to have a seizure, so he had to compete with Zhao Yuanwai about some affairs in the rivers and lakes, while grinding his temperament and continuing to wait to enter the store.
At noon, when I finally saw that I was about to arrive at the location of the store, a rich aroma of wine and vegetables gradually became stronger, which hooked the gluttonous worms in the abdomen of Wu Song and others so much that they even salivated to "silkworm silk, dripping and clicking".
At this time, I saw a tall and stout man, trotting all the way through the queue waiting in line, shouting "borrow, borrow" to break into the store.
No one else knew what his role was, and when they saw him like this, they thought he was someone in the store, so they didn't make a sound.
Only Wu Song, unable to hold back the anger in his heart, grabbed the man's arm when the man passed by him.
The man was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously shook the arm that Wu Song was holding, feeling that the strength of Wu Song's side was really amazing.
Wu Song was struggling by him, and he suddenly felt that this person's strength was not weak, but his hands were not relaxed, and he still grabbed him tightly.
Some diners who thought the same as Wu Song couldn't help but cheer at this moment when they saw Wu Song stop cutting in line.
The man saw that everyone was adding oil and sauce, and he couldn't get down the steps, so he was in a hurry, but his face was red, and he said to Wu Song: "You...... You, you put ...... Hand! ”
Wu Song heard that he was stuttering, and he didn't argue, he still clenched his hands and said unhurriedly: "First come, first come, first come, rightful!" ”
Seeing that Wu Song had some means, the applauding diners all stood on his side, and echoed them with their mouths to build momentum for Wu Song.
The face of the man who cut the queue was even redder than just now, and he couldn't say a word for a long time compared to the shape of his mouth, but the green tendons on his forehead were bulging.
I saw that his other hand was drawn into a hand knife, and he was about to cut at Wu Song. Wu Song didn't dare to slack off, and opened it with his other hand, and then compared his fists and feet with this thick man.
The diners in line saw the two men fighting in an instant, and they all ducked in all directions, flashing an empty space where they were staying.
