Coming to a place called Linxi Village in the south of Linyou City, there is already a bustling meeting of people leading horses and animals from the mountains to the main road, shouting, scolding, laughing and laughing, and the bumpy road is suddenly lively.

Not far from the turn in the direction of Linyou Street, there is a "Linfeng Inn" with yellow flags and black characters.

There is a straw mat pergola at the entrance of the inn, and under the shed, four square tables are neatly placed, and there are four benches around the tables.

On the two sheets in the middle, someone has already begun to eat, looking at the dishes ordered and dressing, like rich people.

Old Qiao Shan took a look, and saw that half of the two idleness were in the sun, and the other was all shade, so he chose the shade and sat down.

The fat shopkeeper in his early thirties, with a big black bead hanging on his neck and a cyan scarf on his shoulder, and a black and white cat in his arms, saw the old monster sitting down, and said weakly: "Xiao Er, fetch water, and wait for the guest officer to wash his hands." ”

"Come on!" Xiao Er came out with a basin of water and put it on the stool next to the old monster, "This master, please wash your hands." What to eat, think about it and shout. He said and left.

Dozens of miles of mountain roads, walking Qiao Shan old monster was hungry and thirsty, he had not washed his hands, and he did not look at the recipe hanging on the wall at the door of the inn, and said bluntly: "First come four plates of meat, two plates of vegetarian, and one jar of old wine." ”

Xiao Er turned around in amazement.

Seeing that he had a wooden gourd hanging from his waist and a shiny jujube stalk standing against the table, he did not look like a person who could afford to eat these dishes, but more like a high-ranking beggar in the "rivers and lakes." It can't be a beating in exchange for satisfying hunger, right?

After hesitating for a moment, I went back to report the food.

When passing by the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper gave a look, intending to meet the customer's request.

There were two tables of people inside, drinking, with a low voice and polite manners.

The food and drinks were served quickly.

Qiao Shan opened the wine jar, closed his eyes and smelled it, poured out a bowl, raised it above his head, silently muttered a few words, and splashed it on the ground towards the road;

The old monster didn't know that the two apprentices were delayed on the road for nearly an hour. I walked fast, and I had some extra time, and the accumulation was far more than an hour.

Eat. Wait.

Wait. Eat······

kept looking at the coming direction, but there was no shadow of Zhou Mengyuan and Dou Ya'er.

The shopkeeper followed the cat hair in his arms, squinted his eyes, and kept staring there, looking at you old fellow, how long are you going to rub it.

······

The arrival of a middle-aged couple relieved the embarrassment of the old monster of Qiao Shan waiting for a long time to be suspected.

Women come first, and men follow.

The woman, wearing a blue cloth with several patches on the top of her head, walked up to the shopkeeper with a scolding voice, "Liang Zhijun, you shameless one, return my sheep!"

The shopkeeper, Liang Zhijun, sat there cheekily and looked around, as if nothing had happened.

Women are all good women.

Vixen, it was forced out.

Seeing that Liang Zhijun ignored it, the woman was so angry that she picked out rough words and wild words in the countryside to curse, and even the eight generations of her ancestors were scolded.

The shopkeeper was still sitting there, picking his nose and picking his ears, suppressing the unrest in his heart and hiding his embarrassed expression.

The man sat on a stool on the idle table next to the old monster, his honest face showing helplessness, pursed his lips, blew on his chest, and used his palms as a fan to fan his face.

Finally, Zhou Mengyuan and Dou Ya'er arrived.

While watching the excitement, he came to the table of Qiaoshan and sat down.

Zhou Mengyuan wanted to explain, but the old monster said: "I arrived so late, there must be a reason." Let's eat first and talk later. ”

The two disciples devoured and ate.

The people at the two tables inside had already put down their chopsticks, and they could only watch the excitement and dare not discuss.

The more the woman scolded, the more angry she became, the more excited she became, and her spittling mouth was about to stick to Liang Zhijun's face.

The man got up and walked over, his hands crossed over his chest, and stood there silently, like a thug waiting for orders.

At a glance, you will know that it is a soft persimmon.

"Smack!"

Liang Zhijun slapped it hard.

Xiao Er came out in response, rolled up his sleeves, and stood next to the shopkeeper, with an arrogant posture of shooting at any time.

The woman was knocked to the ground, covering half of her face that had been slapped red, the corners of her mouth were bleeding, and she was still crying and scolding willfully.

"Steal my sheep and sell them for money, buy a coffin, if it's not enough for the family, the old lady will pay you a few more. You shameful old thief, you can't make a fortune by stealing and robbing, sooner or later you will get retribution, and you will die without a whole body······!"

Zhou Mengyuan chewed and said to Dou Ya'er: "This is a classic scolding. Remember, whoever dares to bully you in the future will scold him or her like this, and discipline him (her) to bleed and burst his or her five organs. ”

White eyes. Dou Ya'er said: "There is no sympathy at all!"

Seeing that the woman was knocked down, the man trembled and leaned over to help, "How can you start beating someone? ”

Old Monster Qiao Shan lifted his ass and sat down again.

The subtle movement of the old monster was swept away by Liang Zhijun's eyes.

Old man, I see that you have nothing to do!

The people at the table left one after another after settling the bill for Xiao Er.

whispered that the price of the meal was too expensive, and it was slaughtered.

Seeing that the two disciples had almost eaten, Qiao Shan's old monster shouted to Xiao Er to settle the bill.

Xiao Er came over with a square plate, "Guest officer, a total of one hundred and sixty-eight dollars." ”

"Why is it so expensive?" Dou Ya'er said angrily, "One hundred and sixty-eight dollars is enough to buy three sheep." ”

Xiao Er's face changed, "This little brother or young lady, even if it is three cows, can they be eaten raw?"

"You!"

"Smack!"

Dou Ya'er slapped the table and stood up.

Xiao Er was so frightened that he stepped back.

The three masters in the back kitchen came out when they heard the sound, one was carrying a kitchen knife, and the other two were carrying a spoon.

"Don't be impatient! Suppress the demons, check out and leave. ”

Zhou Mengyuan was extremely reluctant to settle the account.

However, the old monster just called him to suppress the demons, and he had already revealed some information.

"Go, call the woman, and we'll go together. ”

Let Zhou Mengyuan talk badly, women would rather die than leave.

"Eldest sister, as long as you go with us, I will pay you the sheep money. ”

"I don't want you. Today, I have to die here!"

After such a long confrontation, the shopkeeper finally spoke, "To tell you the truth, your two sheep, Lao Tzu made an offering to the Qi family's village." If you don't want to live, find it yourself. Take it when you see it. Follow this good Samaritan, and perhaps something better will happen. In this world, it is not easy to meet a kind-hearted person. Haha!"

Pulling and pulling, Zhou Mengyuan dragged the woman to the road and whispered, "Turn back, we'll dissipate your anger." ”

Xiao Er, a slave who had been bowing his head and waist, stood next to the shopkeeper, the tip of the broken shoe that was about to show his toes patted the ground, and the fox fake tiger said in a strange voice: "That one is too expensive, if it is a woman, it will not be able to give birth to a baby, and if it is a man, the thing in the crotch will not be able to get up for the rest of his life." Haha! It's not a man or a woman, it's not a ball, it's two goods. ”

With such obscene insults, Dou Ya'er gritted her teeth and bled when she heard it, and her heart was about to break.

Zhou Mengyuan was even more anxious, he couldn't wait to go over and slap him to death immediately and pull out the tongue of the evil minion.

At the same time, please fight.

was stopped by the master, "The gentleman takes revenge, it's not too late in the afternoon! Let's get down to business first, and we'll see you when we go back!"

Not far from the Linfeng Inn, the man stopped Zhou Mengyuan, "Young Master, please stay." You can't be with Liang Zhijun's family, right?"

The old monster of Qiao Shan, who was walking in the front, looked back and continued to move forward.

Dou Ya'er pushed the man and said, "You speak now." Why didn't you speak just now?"

Ignore Dou Ya'er. The man stopped Zhou Mengyuan again: "Didn't you say that you would give money to the sheep? ”

The second time he blocked, the man moved. Stand with a small lunge, push out with your left palm, your fingertips on the front of Zhou Mengyuan's right shoulder, the heel of your palm is empty, which can be pushed or changed into a fist, and your right elbow is raised flat, and the back of your palm is downward, which can be attacked and defended.

This move surprised Zhou Mengyuan, "This big brother, you don't look like a mediocre person, so why don't you dare to fight back when the eldest sister is hurt?"

The woman dragged the man aside and said to Zhou Mengyuan, "Hehe! My husband has indeed practiced for a few days. However, the evil tiger is difficult to reach the wolves. The young master didn't know that Liang Zhijun, who had been cut by a thousand knives, colluded with a lot of bad guys, and also had close contacts with the Qi family village in Fufeng. In our local area, it is tyrannical and domineering, and no one dares to provoke it. Stealing cattle and sheep is commonplace, as long as you don't rape the daughter of a good family, you are already raising your hand.

"Once, I wanted to occupy a girl in our village····· In the end, the whole family was brought down, and none of the livestock were left behind, and even the house was burned. One of my women's family came forward to make trouble with him, and it was a big deal to be beaten. If I get started as a man, I will either be beaten to the point that my waist and legs will be broken, or my head will be broken and bleeding, and the consequences will not be imagined. ”

"Understood!" Zhou Mengyuan took out some broken silver and handed it to the woman, and said, "Eldest sister, this is your sheep money, take it back and buy a few more to raise, about the fact that you were beaten, the younger brother must have taken this breath for you." ”

"Nope. Just two sheep are not worth so much. The woman left the largest one out of a few pieces of broken silver, "Today, I am fortunate to meet the young master and a few well-wishers to help me, so that I can get out successfully, and please keep the rest." As for what you want to do with that evil seed, we don't dare to participate, here, please ask the young master and the lady to be worshipped!"

"Sister-in-law is exempt!" Zhou Mengyuan took a step back and said, "When the road is uneven, it is natural to help with all your might." Since the two of them have no intention of seeing what is going on, they hope to go back to their homes as soon as possible to wait for the good news. ”

The lost sheep couple humbly said goodbye and left.

Dou Ya'er grabbed Zhou Mengyuan's arm and said proudly: "Brother Yuan, today, it's the second time someone has said that I am your lady, how do you feel?"

"Some people also say that the master is our father. Zhou Mengyuan said, "Chase after the master." We were late and he was already upset. ”

Dou Ya'er held Zhou Mengyuan and walked forward quickly.

No matter how good they look, how big they are, or how old they are, what stranger wouldn't recognize them as a well-matched couple?
