Looking for prestige, it was a man in shabby patched clothes.

He was half-tied with a crown of nuclear wood, with a few fine braids hanging from his sideburns, and sat on the fork of an old tree next to him, lazily holding a dog's tail grass, looking like a hanger.

I took a closer look, although his clothes were shabby, but his clothes and boots were extremely clean, especially his hair, smooth and smooth, combed and neat, without the slightest look of despair. In addition, he has delicate eyebrows and a handsome face, although he dresses like a beggar, he does not feel like a beggar.

Looking at the appearance, he has been watching the scenery for a while, and our group didn't even notice it, this person seems to be ...... It's not easy.

"Want to know?" The man grinned, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

Xuanyuan Chen took half a step forward and hugged his fists to say hello, "Since Brother Tai knows the situation, please tell Brother Tai." ”

"No problem!" The man nodded, looked Xuanyuan Chen up and down, grinned, stretched out his hand and gestured, "Fifty taels." ”

“…………”

I've heard that those who have collected tolls, but I haven't heard of those who collect tolls, fifty taels, enough for ordinary people to buy houses and land, this is a robbery!

The man tore off the dog's tail grass from his mouth, jumped down from the tree with a rub, and helped analyze it kindly, "Hey, as long as fifty taels, you can know where Maoyan Mountain is, and you can also know what is strange on the mountain, and you can also know why these people change color when they hear the three words Maoyan Mountain, this business is not a loss!" ”

Seeing that we didn't seem to pay attention to him, he grinned, put the dog's tail back in his mouth, hugged his shoulders and said, "Hey, I'm not knocking on your bamboo bar, fifty is really not much, you can see people, because today is the market day, but it's going to be dark at this time, no one has left here, and when the time comes, no one will tell you the news of fifty taels." ”

What he said was true, there were still people on the road just now, and now it is dark, and there is really no one in sight.

Fifty taels is fifty taels, and it should be fed to the dogs.

"Donghu, give money."

"Yes, girl!" Xuanyuan Chen's guards hugged their hands, took a silver ingot of fifty taels from the money bag and threw it over.

The man took it in his hand, and when he felt that it was enough, he put the silver in his pocket, and then said, "See the highest mountain in front of you, and the top of the mountain looks like a hat on it?" That's Maoyan Mountain.

It is said that this mountain was not like this originally, a hundred years ago suddenly strong wind and rain, a huge stone flew from the sky and fell on the top of the mountain, over time, the flying stone itself grew into a hat shape, it was called the hat weir mountain. Legend has it that there are outstanding people here, there are countless precious medicinal materials in the mountain, and there are two-tailed spirit foxes in the mountains, which is really a treasure mountain! ”

He shook his head and talked like a storyteller, but I didn't want to hear this, so I interrupted him, "You don't need to say any more about this, just get to the point, and tell me why those people scared away when they mentioned Maoyan Mountain." ”

"Oh." He replied briefly, "It is said that there is dirt in the mountains!" ”

"Dirty? What dirt? I asked.

He smiled, bared a mouthful of white teeth, and gestured, "This question, it costs a hundred taels!" ”

Donghu was furious, "Hey! Didn't you kid just give you fifty taels, why do you want another hundred taels! ”

The man bit the dog's tail and said, "The previous fifty taels are to tell you why this hat weir mountain is causing people to panic, the reason I said, is that there are dirty things." As for what is dirty, that's another question, and naturally you have to charge another money.

You can choose not to ask me, or you can choose to go directly to Maoyan Mountain, anyway, I have already told you the location.

As for the second question, the mouth is on me, it's my business to say it or not, if you want to listen to what I say, just give money, one hundred taels, this deal is very cost-effective! ”

"You!" Donghu is a straight man, how can he have the slightest clever tongue, his face is red, and there is no way to refute it.

Xuanyuan Chen seemed to think what he said was interesting, but he didn't care, and said with a smile, "Donghu, give him another hundred taels!" ”

"Yes! Son. Donghu answered, and took out a large ingot of silver from the money bag, a little reluctantly, but still put it on the palm of the man's hand that had already stretched out and was ready to receive the money.

A hundred taels is a large piece of silver, and it weighs heavily in your hand.

The man was happy, grabbed the silver and weighed it, and put it in his mouth to bite it to try the authenticity, after confirming that the silver was real, he happily stuffed it into the purse, and at the end, he tied the purse and patted it twice with satisfaction.

"Let's talk about it now." Donghu looked at him sideways, and he couldn't get used to it.

"Oh, that's fine." He nodded and said sincerely, "I don't know what kind of dirt it is." ”

"What did you say!" Donghu was angry, "My son-in-law spent a hundred taels, don't you know if I buy you!" ”

The man raised his eyebrows with the dog's tail in his mouth, and said, "I just said, give me a hundred taels, and I will answer your question." But I didn't say it, I know the answer, hehehe....... ”

"You kid is playing with us!" Donghu was completely furious.

The man smiled, bared a mouthful of white teeth and said, "Oh, it's just a hundred taels, I don't look like a person who is short of money, don't be so stingy, you see, when you are angry, your eyebrows are wrinkled, and you will never be able to please your daughter-in-law. You and I are destined, so I'll give you a 20% discount, just ten taels of silver. ”

As he spoke, he really took out an origami paper......

"Phew! You kid, look at the move! Donghu couldn't bear it anymore, so he grabbed the mountain axe on the saddle and was about to do it.

The kid reacted really quickly, threw the origami and jumped on the branch, and the two jumps disappeared, the speed was faster than the wind.

No wonder he didn't find out for a long time, it turned out that he was pregnant with a good light skill.

"You kid, where are you running!" Donghu was angry and wanted to chase, but was stopped by Xuanyuan Chen, "Don't chase it, it's important to get down to business." ”

Donghu immediately stopped, clenched his fists, and stepped back to hang the mountain axe back on the saddle.

Stirred up by this kid, it's a little late, we are on the official road, there is no inn in front and back, since Maoyan Mountain is so smelly, at night, don't go up the mountain for the time being.

Xuanyuan Chen looked around, and saw that there was a dirt road not far away, and there seemed to be a few grass houses along the way, and he thought it would be a village, so he decided to stay for one night and explore the situation tomorrow.

The group walked in the direction of the dirt road, and when it was tea time, they arrived at the village.

This village is not big, there are only a dozen households, there is only one noodle restaurant and one tavern in the whole village, naturally there will be no inn for people to rest, fortunately, the people in this place are simple, there is an old man who knows that we want to rest, so he enthusiastically knocks on the door and arranges us in the villagers' homes.

If it's a coincidence, the place where Xuanyuan Chen and I stayed was the woman's house who was questioned by me before, but was scared to run away with the little baby.

The woman opened the door and saw that it was the two of us, she was stunned at first, but she didn't say anything, so she let us into the house, first poured tea for the two of us, knew that we hadn't eaten, and then cooked noodles for us, and took some refreshing pickles, and then went to clean up the house for us.

The tea in the countryside is bland, and the pasta is less oil and less flavorful, but with the refreshing pickles of the host's family, it has an indescribable feeling. Although I didn't know the taste of food, I just ate all the big bowl of noodles, and in a trance, I felt like a fireworks.

waited for the capture of the spirit fox, did the third thing for She Ming, and waited for the poison on his body to be cured, and took revenge......

If I could, I really wanted to spend a few days boiling tea, washing rice, making soup, making it at sunrise, and resting at sunset.

Xuanyuan Chen seemed to know my thoughts, curled his lips and smiled, and gently held my hand, "Little girl, where you are, I will always be with you." ”

My heart warmed and I smiled slightly. Xuanyuan Chen's beautiful peach blossom eyes suddenly darkened, and he slowly approached......

"Brother and sister, what are you doing......

Just as our lips were about to touch, a sweet and greasy voice suddenly came from the right side, and a pair of big black grape-like eyes were just a stone's throw away, staring at the two of us curiously.

Who else would it be if it wasn't the youngest daughter of the master's family......

I was embarrassed for a while, and quickly pushed Xuanyuan Chen away, but he didn't care, scratched the tip of the child's nose, smiled and took a sip of the tea bowl.

The kid didn't look at Xuanyuanchen, but stared at me, his dark eyes full of curiosity, I was a little unnatural at first, and then, I actually chuckled.

When the boy saw me laughing, he also giggled, and the two little pear vortices were like honey poured into them, and the hearts of the people melted.

"What's your name?" I asked softly.

"My name is Ling'er, I am not old this year, my mother's surname is Liu, my father's surname is Zhang, my father went to the city to procure, he will come back tomorrow, and he will buy a lot of food for Ling'er."

The child smiled sweetly, and said a bunch of things, that delicate little appearance, it was really cute, Xuanyuan Chen laughed, hugged her on his lap, and held her in his arms rarely.

The boy pinched his nose with his hands, pinched his face, and then tugged at his ears with both hands, and giggled himself.

Xuanyuan Chen looked at me for a while, and curled the corners of his lips.

"Ling'er, don't mess around, go back to the house quickly."

The host came out of the side room and picked up the curtain, and saw that the child was in Xuanyuan Chen's hair, so he hurriedly drank it, stepped forward to pick up the child, and said apologetically, "The child is still young and ignorant, so don't be strange to your guests." ”

Xuanyuan Chen said, "It's okay, it's okay, the child is very cute, we like it tightly." ”

The host bowed his head slightly, and hurriedly sent the child to the side room, and carefully instructed a few words, and then came out to say to me, "Two distinguished guests, the room is cleaned up, and you can rest." ”

Xuanyuan Chen thanked him, and then took out a silver ingot of fifty taels from his sleeve pocket, as a thank you gift for the annoyance, the woman seemed to have never seen such a big ingot of silver, and refused to accept it alive or dead. The woman shirked for a long time, and finally had to say that she would use the money to make meat for us tomorrow, and she reluctantly accepted it.

When we entered the village, we had to have a Shen time, it would be almost a unitary time, the lights outside the window had already been turned off, and the two of us also wanted to go to the side to rest, the host hesitated, and finally stopped us, and asked, "Two nobles, do you want to go to the mountain over there?" ”

I nodded, and then I heard her say again, "Look at the two faces, they are also good-faced people, and the slave family advises the two of them, if there is nothing important, if you can not go to the mountain over there, you should not go." There are already many people who have gone to the evil sect of the mountain and have not returned. ”
