The old gentleman told us that the restaurant does not have a menu, let alone a la carte, and if you want to eat here, you only have egg fried rice.

I was stunned, and it was the first time I felt that a restaurant was so domineering.

Without waiting for me to say anything, the iron donkey couldn't help but say, "Brother, are you okay, when this restaurant is opened by your family?" ”

Not only me, but even the old gentleman (the shopkeeper) looked at the iron donkey with a surprised look on his face, and emphatically said, "That's right, it's my family!" ”

I understand what Iron Donkey is thinking, he just wants to question and damage the shopkeeper a few words, the problem is that he used the wrong words and didn't get to the point.

In normal times, I make sure to turn around and leave, it's not uncommon to deal with this kind of boss, but this is a transit island, and I suspect that there is no other home on the island except for this restaurant.

I looked at each other with the iron donkey, and he must have thought of going with me. The two of us endured this and said to the shopkeeper, "Let's have two bowls of egg fried rice." ”

The shopkeeper came out with another moth and said to give the money first. I suspect that he is definitely a lion with a big mouth, and he emphasizes a bowl of rice for twenty yuan.

I don't have a lot of money in my pocket, but I also carry a few hundred-dollar bills. I took one out and handed it to the shopkeeper. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper looked at the money, with a strange expression, shook his head and said, "What did you give?" Only party currency is recognized here, and I don't accept foreign currency like you. ”

I thought to myself, what kind of joke is this old man making? Dare to say that RMB is a foreign currency? When these words spread, I believe that 1.4 billion Chinese will raise their fists and cut him to death.

I have another guess that the old man is old and dazzled. I held up the hundred-dollar bill in front of him and asked him to take a closer look.

The shopkeeper still had the same expression, and then he reached in his pocket and pulled out a piece of money that I didn't recognize.

I saw that Sun Yat-sen was printed on it. I have a guess that this so-called party currency refers to the Kuomintang currency.

I suddenly had a feeling that I couldn't speak, and I felt like I understood something.

The shopkeeper pointed to the Kuomintang currency and told us that if we wanted to eat egg fried rice, we had to give him this kind of fifty yuan. I didn't have a trick with the iron donkey, and I really didn't have the party coins he said in my pocket. In order to make a final fight, we relied on arguing with the shopkeeper again. Anyway, I just want to buy two bowls of rice with RMB.

I found that the shopkeeper's mouth was quite damaged, and after arguing for a while, he changed his words, saying that we were not using foreign currency, but counterfeit money.

In the end, we all got a little red-faced.

At this time, a person walked in from outside. She was a girl in her early twenties, very beautiful, especially with a pair of big watery eyes and a mole at the corner of her mouth. She looked at us and shouted, "Okay, boss, don't quarrel with the outside guests, I'll invite you to this meal." “

Her words were so effective that we stopped talking and looked at her. The girl ran to the bar and found two 50 yuan of Kuomintang coins.

She was very generous, afraid that the two of us would not be able to eat enough, so she simply invited her to be thorough. She slapped the money on the bar, and the owner of the store definitely didn't admit the money, so she had to collect the money and contact the kitchen to cook.

But Iron Donkey and I were not interested in eating, so Iron Donkey first shouted to the shopkeeper slowly, then turned to look at the girl and asked, "Do we know each other?" “

The girl likes to laugh, and she laughs with two dimples. She shook her head, and said for sure that it was the first time we had met!

The iron donkey asked again, "Then why did you take the initiative to invite us to dinner?" ”

I looked at the girl carefully and wondered what she would say.

The girl didn't have much social experience at first and said that she happened to pass by the door of the restaurant and heard us arguing, so she wanted to help us. But then she pouted stubbornly and emphatically said, "Since she's in for a treat, we'll have to do her a favor too." ”

I think of a saying, nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief. Iron Donkey and I are both old men, and we are not rich, and the girl will certainly not have the intention of adultery and theft against us, but her inconsistent words also tell me that she has no good intentions in her treat.

I laughed with the iron donkey, and as soon as I turned around in tacit understanding, I was about to go out.

I thought so in my heart, how could I, Leng Shijie, be bent over by a bowl of egg fried rice, and besides, this girl is so naïve, and she wants to settle me with a bowl of rice, which is child's play.

The girl was a little unhappy and a little panicked when she saw our actions, and while taking the money back, she shouted for me not to go.

I and the iron donkey should not have heard it, and there was no idle foot. The iron donkey also whispered to me, let me go first, and he stood behind.

The iron donkey's body is dangling sideways, no different from a door, and with him blocking the girl who is chasing, I don't have any pressure.

I made up my mind to go out of the restaurant and wait for the iron donkey, but as soon as I got to the door, I almost bumped into someone. He was about to go inside, and when I looked up, it was Jiang Shaoyan.

Jiang Shaoyan said before that he would come to the restaurant to find us, which was nothing unusual, but he glanced behind me again and noticed the girl. He frowned and sighed.

I tasted his expression and said to myself, could it be that he knew this girl? Curious, I also looked back.

The girl didn't give up, don't look at being blocked by the iron donkey, she still talked about her treat along the way, let the two of us go back, but after seeing Jiang Shaoyan's cold gaze, she didn't squeak.

At this moment, we and the girl's behavior is definitely a 180-degree change. The iron donkey and I were in no hurry to leave, but the girl bowed her head and tried to squeeze out of us.

The iron donkey and I didn't stop her, and when she passed by Jiang Shaoyan, Jiang Shaoyan took a step back and blocked in front of her again.

The girl's face was not good-looking, and she was a little frightened, and asked, "Who are you?" What are you doing with such a fierce? “

I couldn't understand it again, and I said look at this posture, the girl doesn't know Jiang Shaoyan.

Jiang Shaoyan suddenly put away his cold expression, laughed, pointed at the girl and asked, "Girl, you definitely don't know me, but I know your mother, is her name Yalan?" “

The girl was surprised, and asked how do you know?

Jiang Shaoyan set up a close one, and also pulled the matter very far, saying that his father was very familiar with Yalan's parents, that is, the girl's grandparents, and he was hugged by Sister Yalan when he was a child.

I listened to it confusedly, and I also felt that Jiang Shaoyan was lying. I stole a glance at the iron donkey and noticed that he was a little stunned.

But Jiang Shaoyan's words made the girl believe it. Jiang Shaoyan also beckoned the girl to go back to the restaurant to sit down.

He went in first with the girl, and I was one step behind the iron donkey. And Jiang Shaoyan secretly glanced at the two of us, which meant that he sat at the same table with the girl and "reminisced about the past". I'll stay away from them with the iron donkey.

I'm very cooperative with the iron donkey. After sitting down, I also asked the iron donkey, which one did Jiang Shaoyan play? Especially when he is a few years old, why is he still a little girl? Isn't this an old cow gnawing on tender grass?

The iron donkey knows more than I do, and whispers to me that this girl is not an ordinary person.

I asked him why he didn't have the usual law, and he didn't say anything.

It didn't take long for the shopkeeper to bring the egg fried rice, but it was not invited by the girl, Jiang Shaoyan took out a few Kuomintang coins from his pocket like a trick.

I'm not polite to the iron donkey, and I ate two servings by myself. After the meal, Jiang Shaoyan and the girl's reminiscence was over, and the girl left with a happy face.

The two of us sat next to Jiang Shaoyan again. I urged Jiang Shaoyan to talk about the whole thing.

Jiang Shaoyan only emphasized to us, "This girl's name is Yaxin, I told her that we will board the Sea King together in a few days and go to Ghost Island together!" ”

The Sea King is the ship of the evil monarch, I said in my heart that Jiang Shaoyan's decision was inappropriate, and I also have a hunch that the evil monarch will not agree to take Yaxin away.

As for the iron donkey, it was completely different from what I thought, he asked Jiang Shaoyan, "This girl is really Yaxin's daughter?" ”

Jiang Shaoyan replied that it was right, and said that he had seen Yaxin's photo, and the two looked almost identical.

Jiang Shaoyan didn't eat anything at the restaurant, and then we left. We didn't go back to the Sea King to rest overnight, Jiang Shaoyan took the two of us to find a farmhouse.

Of course, the farmhouse here is completely different from the northern one, with rows of wooden stakes under the house, and I guess this architectural style has something to do with the special terrain of the island.

We live here, and we also agreed with the owner of the farmhouse, we pay for it, and he cooks us three meals a day.

After careful calculation, our stay was not short, a full week. During this time, we wandered around the island whenever we had time, and we also took the opportunity to gag and gossip with the residents here.

I found that the residents here speak more Mandarin, which is completely different from the Cantonese spoken in Haike City.

They are also like Yaxin, very naïve and practical, and they don't have much defense. It's cheaper for us, and a lot of words come out of their mouths.

They have heard of ghost islands, but in their place, they are not called ghost islands, but fairy islands. They also said that there is treasure on the island, and whoever can go and get the treasure will not have to worry about it in this life.

But when it came to the specific route, they were stuck, and a few old people said that it would take chance to go to Xiandao, and there would be a guide messenger on the sea, and he would take him, and he could only reach it after nine deaths.

I wrote them all down. In this way, at dusk one day, Jiang Shaoyan was not with the two of us, he went out in the afternoon, and the old cat has not shown up since he separated from us.

As soon as I finished eating with the iron donkey, the two of us made a small calculation and wanted to go out of the farmhouse and go around to find out the news. But as soon as we came out of the house, the iron donkey looked up at the sky and couldn't help but curse, "! ”

I know that the sky of the transit island is very special, and occasionally there will be very beautiful and visually striking clouds, and I thought that the iron donkey was attracted by the clouds again.

I didn't pay much attention to it, and urged him to stop looking at it and get down to business.

Who knew that the iron donkey wouldn't leave at all, so he dragged me and said, "Apprentice, look up, two suns have appeared in the sky." ”

I want to laugh, my heart says flicker, and then flicker! I've made it a habit to look at the sky every morning, but after a few days of observation, I'm desperate, how can there be two suns as the evil king said.

I suspect that the iron donkey had just stared at the sun in the eye, which might have allowed him to see two suns, and more honestly, if he had been so ruthless that he had broken his eyes, it would not be strange to see three or even ten or eight suns.

I took the opportunity to hurt him. The iron donkey really didn't have the heart to quarrel with me, and he was in a hurry, and forcibly grabbed my head and lifted it up.

I was forced to take a look, and at this moment, my heart tightened, and my heart said that Brother Donkey really didn't lie to me, and there were really two suns in the sky
