Chapter 55: Bribing the Old Man
The girl's family is thin-skinned, Lin Daxiong finally came to the road, slapped five hundred yuan on the table, and said: "Don't talk nonsense, a few days of living is a few days, it's not enough to ask me again." ”
After speaking, he walked to the room inside with his suitcase, a slight smell got into his nose, Nobita glanced into the corner, the garbage was piled up and no one came to clean it up, and the waiter also took a bite of a "regular guest house", and this kind of environment had been banned in Jinping a long time ago.
The environment inside the room is also very poor, there are only two beds, a TV has no antenna, there are whitish snowflakes, and the bathroom is shared. Lin Daxiong thought about driving all day in the car and taking a shower, and when he pushed the door open, he was really disgusted. The excrement inside almost overflowed the surface.
Pressed the button to flush the toilet, but there was no reaction, Lin Daxiong was a little angry, and when he closed the door, he used a little force, and happened to bump into the waiter head-on, she was about fifty years old, pinched her waist and said: "Damage to compensate!" ”
Lin Daxiong was too lazy to meet her in general, so he didn't pay attention, turned his head and said to the two people in the room: "Let's go, let's eat!" ”
Then I found a restaurant with a decent environment, ordered three rice bowls, and after a while of gobbling up, I heard a few old men chattering about something.
Originally, I didn't pay much attention to it, but when Nobita and the others were about to go back, they vaguely heard one of the old men talking about ghosts and the like.
"You take Ling'er back first."
Lin Daxiong gave Lu Fengxian a look, Lu Fengxian immediately understood, and dragged Zheng Ling'er to go first, Nobita pretended to be lively, and pulled a bench to get up.
Since he spoke the local dialect, he could only understand one sentence, but this sentence alone attracted Nobita's attention.
"At that time, it was at least that big, like a dragon, and it had seven or eight claws!" The old man was about sixty years old, with a red face, waving his arms and gesturing, and said with the smell of wine in his mouth.
The person next to him coaxed, "How many claws are there?" If it's a dragon, it should have a beard! ”
"I can't remember how many claws, but they don't have a beard anyway, and their heads are triangular like ordinary snakes." The old man shook his head and said.
As soon as this sentence was spoken, there was a sigh below, and someone said, "You blow it!" I've lived here for decades and I've never heard of anything like that! ”
As soon as he heard that someone didn't believe it, the old man was drunk, obviously a little angry, blowing his beard and glaring: "Believe it or not!" ”
"Yo, the old man is in a hurry!" Some people who understand that the situation is not good, they begin to eat by themselves, and no longer talk to each other.
The old man swept around, leaving Lin Daxiong still sitting there, frowning and saying, "The young man doesn't look like a local!" ”
I wanted to find a chance to talk, but now that it's really here, Lin Daxiong said with a smile: "Uncle, what is that thing you just said?" ”
The old man's face changed suddenly, and he said carefully: "Why are you asking this?" ”
It was very difficult to listen to the dialect, and Lin Daxiong racked his brains to understand what he meant, and hurriedly said: "The kind of thing you said seems to be very powerful!" ”
"That's not it!" Hearing this, the old man was very interested in this topic, glanced at Nobita and said.
There are many people in this place, Lin Daxiong glanced at the private room in the store, and said respectfully: "Old man, you see that there are a lot of people here, I can't hear what you are talking about, why don't you go inside?" ”
"Is there any wine?" The old man asked.
"Enough!" After Lin Daxiong answered neatly, he helped the old man to walk to the private room, and when he passed by the counter, he ordered a few dishes from the waiter inside, and asked for a bottle of Erguotou.
Before the food was served, the old man filled himself with the wine bottle first, took a sip and said, "There are not many young people like you now!" ”
Lin Daxiong smiled and said straight to the point: "Then old man, we also want this dish and wine, tell me about that thing!" ”
"Something? What is it? The old man looked dazed, and then slapped his head again, and said, "Look at my memory!" You want to know about that strange python! ”
"Yes, yes, blame python, blame python." Lin Daxiong muttered, and hurriedly filled the old man with wine, and at this time, a few cold dishes and a plate of big bone broth also came up, and after he took it from the waiter, they were all placed in front of the old man.
The old man took a piece of cucumber with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and bit it crisply, and said unhurriedly: "When it comes to that strange python, it's really big!" It's at least seven or eight meters long, with a thick bowl mouth and claws! ”
Lin Daxiong's face changed when he heard this, good guy, it's so big and has claws, isn't it the legendary Jiao?
"Old man, where did you see it?"
"Our place is all about catching snakes, of course in the mountains." The old man tugged at the big bone and said with his mouth full.
Lin Daxiong hurriedly asked, "Which mountain is it?" ”
Although the old man was eating, he did not hesitate in his mouth, and continued to answer: "What other mountain can it be, from here to the west, at the end!" ”
Lin Daxiong took the vegetables and sent them to the old man's bowl, and asked casually: "Such a behemoth must be aggressive, right?" So how did you escape? ”
"Run? I was rescued! The old man grabbed the wine glass and drank it all, then sat on the chair and rested for a while, and said: "There is also a family living on the mountain, I don't know how long I lived, and when I was a little sensible, I knew that someone lived there, and they saved me!" ”
"Oh?" Lin Daxiong calculated, that Yimei Daoist might be in the mountains, otherwise there would be nothing unusual in this street, and it can't be said that the formation is placed in a crowded place, and it won't cause panic?
"You say...... Could there be any treasures in the mountain? The old man paused, then suddenly leaned in front of Nobita and said.
Lin Daxiong looked at his face and said secretly, half of the old man's body was in the loess, and he still had what treasure he was thinking about, so he thought in his heart, but he said ambiguously: "Who knows!" Don't you know when you go in? ”
"I'm not going, I'm scared when I see that thing once, why use it a second time!" The old man retracted his head, pointed to the wine and food on the table, and said, "Seeing that you are so good, I will tell you where I met it." ”
"Where?" Lin Daxiong became interested and asked curiously.
The old man deliberately sold a pass, took a sip of wine, and said after a while: "I walked into the mountain to the west, and then to the south, I found a secret passage, I thought it might be a snake cave, who knew that there was a hole in it." ”
"At first, I was a little scared and didn't dare to go inside, but when the environment got used to it, I heard a hissing sound in the depths of the hole, and I knew from my years of experience in catching snakes that I had met a big guy." The old man paused, his face changed again and again, and said, "At that time, I was ready for everything, and I was about to catch it, when I saw the long claws on its body, and suddenly stretched out its mouth of blood......
The old man's eyes widened, as if he remembered what had happened before.
"And then?" Lin Daxiong couldn't help but ask.
The old man's eyes closed, shook his head, and said, "Later, I was frightened and fainted, and when I woke up, I was rescued, that thing is terrible!" The average snake has only two fangs, and the teeth in the snake's mouth are so long and dense that I can't count how many there are! ”
"I'm afraid I won't have the courage to go up the mountain again!" The old man's face was pale, his hand holding the chopsticks trembled, and it took a long time to come back to his senses, patted Nobita on the shoulder and said, "Young man, I advise you not to be too curious, I was joking just now, what kind of treasure is there, I can guarantee that that thing is not vegetarian!" ”
"Got it, old man." Lin Daxiong said with a wry smile.
The old man glanced at Nobita suspiciously, and finally said remember not to go, and focused on the food and drink.
Lin Daxiong thought about going up the mountain tomorrow to prepare something to eat, so he asked the waiter for three catties of pastrami, left half a catty for the old man, and wrapped the rest in oilcloth paper and carried it, and walked back to the guest house.
Back in the room, Lu Fengxian and the others hadn't slept yet, they were lying on the bed talking, and when they saw Nobita come back and interrogate, their faces were gloomy and they said: "According to him, this thing is not far from ten!" ”
"You think so too?!" Lin Daxiong was horrified, this Jiao is not an ordinary species, it is a spiritual creature that is about to incarnate into a dragon, and it generally only appears in legends, and few people really witness it.
"It's not a big deal! I've encountered juvenile Jiao before. Lu Fengxian recalled and said: "Just two years ago, it seemed to be in a place called Dalongwan, when Old Man Chen asked him to carry out a mission, and he met Jiao on the way. ”
"And then?" Lin Daxiong sat on the edge of the bed and said with a solemn face.
Zheng Ling'er also pricked up her ears, for fear of missing the wonderful moment, only to see Lu Fengxian shake her head and said: "That Jiao only grew to two or three meters long, and was cut in half by Li Sheng's knife, peeled off the skin and roasted and eaten, the taste is similar to crab meat, it is very fragrant!" ”
"Damn!" Lin Daxiong couldn't help but burst out with a foul mouth, put pastrami into his backpack, and then lay down on his bed.
Zheng Linger's curiosity did not diminish at all, and she said in surprise: "Mom! You and Dad are both adventurers, how did I not know before! ”
"Ling'er, that Jiao, has eight claws, similar to the appearance of a dragon......"
Lu Fengxian said with relish, and Zheng Ling'er listened with relish.
Nobita on the side felt a sigh of shame in his heart, good guy! It's only been a long time, the relationship between the two is like sisters, and they are still thinking about how to get rid of Zheng Ling'er, it is unlikely that this situation will happen!
Suddenly thinking of Li Sheng, Lin Daxiong's mood plummeted, at this moment, is he doing well in the Netherworld? I'm afraid it's still steamed buns and pickles, or is it already going to hell to be executed......
Thinking of this, Nobita's heart twitched, and he unconsciously practiced the method of spitting out his heart, who expected Zheng Ling'er's next sentence to instantly make him break his skills:
"Mom, I'll sleep in a bed by myself, you and Dad haven't shared a bed for a long time......"
