Chapter 101: There is a female Qinqin
If you want to get to know someone, then you have a meal or a conversation with them. Although they hadn't spoken to the owner of this inn or eaten anything together, Nine and a Half could be sure that the shopkeeper of the inn they were staying in was definitely a good-tempered person.
There are two reasons for this.
The first point is obtained through observation. From the time they entered the inn to the time they booked a room and then came down to eat, although the shopkeeper didn't say a word and kept settling accounts behind the counter, although the sound of the abacus crackling kept ringing, every time they met the eyes of Jiuhan, the shopkeeper with more meat on his face would smile very politely, and his mouth and eyes were bent into crescents. Although he knew that the face of the shopkeeper opposite him had so much meat that he might be able to stir-fry if he cut it off, every time he saw the eyes and mouth that were bent into crescents, Jiu Ban couldn't help but smile in return.
The second point is thanks to Wei Xicheng. When the three of them were discussing how to get to the country of the Prisoner Ox at a table in the lobby and whether they should prepare something else, Wei Xicheng suddenly jumped into the first floor of the inn as if a divine soldier had descended from heaven.
Why did you say it jumped in suddenly? Because that appearance was too shocking. "Bang" jumped over the threshold and appeared in the lobby on the first floor, and the large amount of dust and loud sound generated when the body landed on the ground almost attracted the attention of everyone, including Jiu Ban and others. And under the focus of this gaze, Wei Xicheng rushed to the sluggish shopkeeper and asked in a hurry: "Little brother, please ask where the back kitchen is?" ”
At this time, the shopkeeper was still immersed in his shocking appearance and couldn't ease up, just quietly pointed to the door behind him and didn't speak.
"Thank you. As if in a hurry, Wei Xicheng said a few words and rushed behind him. But Eight Feathers obviously noticed him, staring at the furry thing that Wei Xicheng was holding in his hand, Eight Feathers shouted at him:
"Brother Wei, what is that in your hand?"
"You'll find out in a moment!" said Wei Xicheng, and walked into the back kitchen without looking back.
And in this process, the innkeeper didn't say anything, still smiling, and seemed to have no objection to Wei Xicheng's sudden intrusion into the back kitchen.
After a while, when the food they ordered was served to the table one after another, just when Nine Half had already grabbed the chopsticks to eat, suddenly a strange fragrance entered his olfactory system. You must know that cooking is all about "color, flavor, and flavor", and "fragrant" is the most important thing in evaluating whether a dish is good or not. Really delicious dishes must be the first to use "fragrant", and it is obvious that this strange fragrance is this very rare existence.
How do you describe it? It's like rice standing on the tail of September, and it's a very intimate taste.
As this taste became more and more intense, Wei Xicheng's voice also came: "Come on, everyone, serve the food!" When the voice came, Wei Xicheng also appeared in front of everyone's eyes, he appeared next to the table with a pot of vegetables, and then put the things in his hand on the table with a "bang", the weight was really not light.
The peppers spread all over the dish, and it was almost impossible to see where the dish was. In the surprise on the faces of the people on the side, Wei Xicheng picked up the chopsticks and went directly into the vegetable basin, and suddenly scooped up a piece of meat, the meat was steaming with oil that was not too low, and Wei Xicheng did not dislike the scalding, and he immediately stuffed it into his mouth, while stabbing his mouth, he refused with a big mouth, but his face showed a happy expression.
"Fragrant!" he suddenly showed an expression as if he had eaten dragon meat or donkey meat, as if he was mentally retarded.
The aroma and steam that were steaming up couldn't hide the joy on his face, looking at Wei Xi like this for a while, he seemed to have not seen this middle-aged man show such an expression for a long time. And the eight feathers and Wu Liangzi sitting next to him both held chopsticks with a little struggle in their eyes, after all, when the two girls faced food that they didn't know what to make, they didn't know whether to talk or not for a while.
"What's the matter, why are you looking at it, eating?" As he spoke, Wei Xicheng hurriedly grabbed a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, as if he was afraid that others would snatch it from him. Seeing that Wei Xicheng ate so fragrantly, Bayu was a little unbearable after all.
"Brother Wei, what the hell is this pot of vegetables, is it the ...... you just caught in" Ba Yu asked a little tentatively.
Listening to Bayu's words, Wei Xicheng was suddenly a little proud. You know, he's been thinking about the meat in the basin for years. It was a godsend to be able to meet in the middle of the city this time. So he stopped his chopsticks, and he said with some pride: "Don't be surprised to tell you, but I think you children haven't eaten before." The one in this pot is the baby I just caught, called the ear mouse......"
"Wait, Brother Wei, what are you talking about?" Wei Xicheng had just said that name, and Wu Liangzi interrupted him. Looking at the meat in the basin that was hidden by the spicy peppers, the girl's eyes were a little suspicious.
Ignoring Wu Liangzi's surprised eyes, Wei Xicheng said with a normal expression: "What's wrong with the ear mouse?
After hearing Wei Xicheng's confirmation words, Wu Liangzi covered his mouth suddenly, his eyes were complicated.
After all, it was cabbage and radish that she loved more, and Wei Xi didn't think there was anything wrong with her eyes, but took a bowl of white rice that Xiao Er brought up just now and ate it by herself. Coincidentally, the dishes made by this ear mouse are a bit like boiled pork slices, which can be regarded as fragrant and spicy. This rice and dish gave Wei Xicheng a fragrant taste, and it vividly reproduced the scene of a hungry tiger pounceing on food. is just eating while eating, and the fragrant meat can't stop his mouth: "I'm telling you, really, don't look at the ear mouse...... Even if it's a mouse, it's actually no better than ......."
Jiuhan didn't have the heart to listen to Wei Xiyan's tirade, and looking at his love for eared rat meat, I am afraid that he will not be able to say it for half an hour. The eight feathers and Wu Liangzi beside him almost didn't have any savings to eat in the infiltration of Wei Xicheng's words, and at this time, Jiu Ban turned his eyes to the door of the inn. Within his field of vision, the crowd of guests at the door of the inn or on the street had rapidly decreased in a short period of time, as if locusts were crossing the border and pedestrians were evading.
What's going on?
But there are some things that have already happened before you have time to think about them.
Quietly, a woman walked into the lobby of the inn. Originally, Nine and a Half couldn't tell the difference between this person and a man. When the girl entered the lobby of the inn, she was dressed in black, with a black cloak draped over her shoulders, and only the hat on her head was a light brown like withered grass. The hat was so large that it covered most of the man's face, and only one of his mouths was exposed.
But ah, that mouth is so beautiful. The lips are thin, and the corners of the mouth are slightly raised as if they were a willow leaf, which is hard to forget. What Jiu Ban didn't expect was that the owner of this mouth would cause them a lot of trouble in the future, and Wei Xicheng couldn't imagine that he would invisibly anger the owner of this beautiful little mouth. As the old saying goes, blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not one-way streets.
The man in black wearing a huge hat walked into the lobby of the inn and looked around, as if he had quickly locked on to his target. This girl walked quickly to the table next to Wei Xicheng and sat down directly, without any pause, as if cutting through the mess with a quick knife, she slapped the table with her left hand, and shouted to Xiao Er:
"Little two on the wine!"
Seeing the state of this master, the little two who ran the hall thought to himself that I might have met a big man this time, and I can't be lazy, so he hurriedly ran over in small steps, and asked as he ran, "This master, dare to ask you ......"
"What's the matter, serve the wine!"
The tone of the comer seemed to be a little more severe, and the runner did not dare to slack off, and after replying "yes", he turned around and ran to get the wine.
From beginning to end, the shopkeeper didn't say a word, but crackled the abacus.
Wei Xicheng was still eating, but the eyes of Bayu and Wu Liangzi unconsciously drifted to the black-clothed man on the side. The two girls were quite reserved, and they never touched the dish that was said to be made with "ear rats". And at this time, Jiu Ban suddenly had a solid cold shiver, as if he had a premonition that something bad was about to happen.
A strange voice suddenly sounded in Jiu Ban's ears, and he just wanted to look up to check it, but Wei Xicheng in front of him suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks and then touched his mouth with his hand, looking at Jiu Ban, he said to the man in black beside him: "Friend, where is sacred?
The man in black smiled silently, but this smile was in the eyes of Jiu Ban, but a cold air suddenly appeared, and it came out of his tail hook and rushed down his spine and rushed to his brain. He knew that something was wrong.
Suddenly looking up, Nine Half took his eyes off the leftovers on the table and Wei Xicheng's face and looked around. At the door of the inn, many figures in black uniforms suddenly appeared in the window. The figures were clearly men, and each of them had a resolute look on their faces, all of them like battle-hardened veterans. All of them were wearing uniforms, but in fact they were no different from the guards in their uniforms, and in addition to these people, there were two tall bald men at the door of the inn, one holding a six-foot iron rod and the other carrying a huge copper hammer in his hand, which seemed to be unkind. The two of them looked at each other and then turned their heads and stood at the door of the inn facing the street. And everyone's faces seemed to have the four big words "idlers are not allowed to enter" written on their faces at the moment, and the atmosphere became serious all of a sudden.
All this happened almost in an instant, and Wu Liangzi, who was still eating just now, suddenly felt all this and wanted to exclaim, but instantly saw the eyes of Jiu Ban and forcibly endured it.
"Did you also see those people on the periphery of the inn?" Wu Liangzi didn't speak, but directly used the method of teleportation to transmit what he wanted to say to Jiu Ban's mind, and Jiu Ban was naturally surprised.
"You're going to spread the word for thousands of miles?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this!" Seeing Jiu Ban is reaction, Wu Liangzi was a little anxious, "I mean, the whole scene now, what is going on? Is it related to Brother Wei's so-called 'ear mouse'?"
"I don't know, just wait and see. When he said this, Jiu Ban shrugged his shoulders slightly to express his helplessness, and sure enough, the man in black sitting next to him spoke up the next moment, and his voice was as pleasant as a kingfisher.
At that time, the shopkeeper had just come over with a glass of wine, and was putting the wine jug and glass on the table, when the man in black grabbed the wine jug and poured the wine into the wine glass, grabbed the wine glass with his left hand and looked at it while saying, "What did you do yourself, don't you know?"
Wei Xicheng was obviously stunned, and the man in black seemed to be waiting for this moment, she slammed the wine glass with her left hand and flew straight out, and it turned out to be directly smashed into Wei Xicheng's head. But Wei Xicheng is also a master of the half-saint realm, how could he be smashed by a wine glass, he took the glass of wine with his head tilted, and drank it as soon as he raised his head.
Seeing that the man in black seemed to be about to make a move on Wei Xicheng, Jiu Ban stood up suddenly. This group of people has stumbled so far that to be honest, no one can do without it, let alone Wei Xiyan of the Half-Saint Realm? Although Wu Liangzi is a warlock whose physical realm is comparable to that of a half-saint martial artist, in fact, in the eyes of Nine and a Half, they are just two girls. When he was there, he was naturally a capable person who worked harder, but if one day he had an accident, he still had to take Wei Xicheng to protect these two girls, otherwise how could he be worthy of them?
So when Wei Xicheng seemed to be in trouble, Jiu Ban was the first to stand up, but then Wei Xicheng also stood up and held his hand, and said, "Brother, don't worry, we have to go with someone." As he spoke, Wei Xicheng's eyes glanced at the door, and Jiuhan immediately understood what he meant.
At this moment, outside the inn gate, the guards surrounding this place were not only twenty or thirty people, but most of them had already drawn half of their swords. The two tall bald men at the door had already turned around at this moment and looked into the lobby, as if they were going to rush forward if there was any movement in the lobby. And judging from the slight aura emanating from their bodies, I am afraid that these two people have the cultivation of the semi-saint realm, which is very difficult.
"More is better than less, let's go with someone. While picking up his luggage and speaking, Wei Xicheng's words made Bayu a little puzzled.
Looking at Wu Liangzi and then at Nine and a Half, Ba Yu finally turned his eyes to Wei Xicheng and asked, "Brother Wei, we didn't mess with anyone, why did we leave?"
Wei Xicheng didn't speak, he just looked lightly at the plate containing the ear mouse, and Hachiyu obviously didn't understand the hint. The man in black saw that Wei Xicheng and the others had no intention of making trouble, so they stopped drinking. She stood up, patted her cloak gently, and walked out without looking back. The two big men at the door were still waiting there, and when the man in black walked out of the inn, he directly took out a gold ingot from his arms and threw it to the shopkeeper and said, "No need to look for it", and then turned his head to Wei Xicheng and the others, and said, "Everyone, let's go?"
At this time, more than a dozen guards had already entered the store to say that Wei Xicheng and others were surrounded by groups, and in desperation, the nine and a half group of four people could only move towards the outside of the store step by step in the midst of this group of people. A few minutes later, there was only a table of uneaten dishes and a pot of undrunk wine left in the lobby of the inn, as well as a shopkeeper who carefully wiped the gold ingots in his hand as if he had found a treasure.
There were people coming and going on the street, dozens of people in black walking on the street with a group of four people, but everyone seemed to ignore it as if they had become accustomed to it. If you look at it from the sky at this moment, the flow of people formed by dozens of people in black is like a school of migrating fish in the ocean, cleaving the waves and crushing the waves. And the other people on the street, like water, automatically avoided it.
Looking at the serious-looking black-clothed people around him, Ba Yu asked with some puzzlement, "Brother Wei, ...... we?"
"It's me," replied Vesian, "remember the ear rat I caught? I had already gotten rid of them, but I didn't expect them to find me, I made a mistake. ”
"But why don't we escape? With the skills of Brother Wei and Jiuhan, we will definitely be able to escape, right?"
"We're fugitives now, stupid boy," Wei Xicheng rubbed Hachiyu's head as if he was rubbing his own daughter, and said, "We are now wanted by the Land of the Mocking Wind, and it will be dangerous if our whereabouts are exposed at this time." And this person's identity is obviously not ordinary, do you think, a person who can openly bring dozens of guards to the street, then how far can he reach the sky in this Ten Hope City?"
