Chapter Ninety-Six: The Great Kindness
Nie Wushuang's footsteps did not stop, his heart was already as plain as water, since he couldn't hide or escape, he would accept his fate.
At noon, Nie Wushuang was on an extremely wide street, looking around, and happened to see a two-story restaurant not far in front of him, with a pennant on it, and four big characters 'Dashan Jianghu' written on it.
Nie Wushuang walked towards the restaurant without hesitation.
"Yo, this master, where is the meal?" Xiao Er at the door looked courteous.
Nie Wushuang said in his heart: What kind of food do you use, it's just boring.
But after Nie Wushuang smiled and nodded, he still walked into the restaurant.
Xiao Er greeted Nie Wushuang, and when he turned around and walked back to the gate of Dashan, he found a group of black-clothed masked people standing on both sides of the street at the entrance of the restaurant, in groups of three and five...... Frightened, the fear in the eyes of the welcome Xiao Er became stronger, and the muscles on his face gradually tensed, so many black-clothed masked people surrounded him with the door of the restaurant, what the hell were he going to do?
Hurriedly dodged in, and the shopkeeper walked briskly towards the counter.
When this group of Jiedan masters saw that the restaurant itself was not spacious and there were more people eating, they didn't go inside, they all stood on the wide street next to the restaurant, all of them standing tall and silent.
After Nie Wushuang walked into the restaurant, he glanced at the more than a dozen tables, which were already full of people eating.
A guy had already stepped forward and bowed to Nie Wushuang and said, "Guest officer, it's full today, if the guest officer doesn't mind, would you like to share a table with others?"
Nie Wushuang was bored when he walked into the restaurant, but his thoughts were on the person who answered, and he nodded casually: "No problem." ”
Seeing that Nie Wushuang agreed, the guy hurriedly explained: "Don't worry, I asked the guest officer before you came, because there are only a few empty seats, he doesn't care about sharing a table with others." As he spoke, he led Nie Wushuang towards the table.
Nie Wushuang sighed, walked to the table, and only then did he glance at the man in the faded sackcloth, there was nothing out of the ordinary, and it seemed that although this person was strong, he was not a monk, just an ordinary mortal, Nie Wushuang politely hugged his fist to the young man and said, "Disturb." Then he sat down, and when he saw the man dressed plainly and eating wine over a plate of peanuts, he couldn't bear it, so he ordered a few side dishes.
When the young man felt that Nie Wushuang was looking at him, he also raised his head to look at Nie Wushuang and said, "...... When you go out, it's convenient for you to be with others, you can sit casually, as long as you don't think I affect you. Saying that, he saw Nie Wushuang looking at the plate of peanuts in front of him, so his face was slightly red and said: "Wine insects hook people, a few years ago, I heard from the people in the village that the great goodness of Hucheng is very good, so I ......"
Nie Wushuang said: "If you want to talk about the influence, you are also afraid that it will affect you, brother Tai's surname?"
The young man hurriedly said: "Xiong Yihu, the old man said that when I was born, I had thick arms and legs, like a bear baby and a tiger cub. ”
Nie Wushuang smiled and said, "Under Nie Wushuang." ”
The young man smiled and said, "Look at your appearance, you are also from the countryside?"
Nie Wushuang knew that the man in front of him was a pure mortal, although he was chatting with him, he was thinking about other things, so he naturally didn't think much when he spoke, and asked casually, "Brother is from the countryside?"
Xiong Yihu nodded and said: "Exactly, this year has just entered the summer, the field has suffered several natural disasters, and it has not been completed, so I have to come to the city to see, can I find some work, I heard that the City Lord's Mansion has been recruiting miscellaneous servants recently, and I plan to try my luck, if I can enter the City Lord's Mansion to do miscellaneous labor, it is naturally the best." ”
Nie Wushuang's mind was not here, and he spoke naturally and casually: "Then I want to wish Brother Tai good luck." ”
Xiong Yihu sighed, ate a peanut, and said: "If you want to talk about this Tiger City, it belongs to the city lord Xie Siyuan Xie has a famous name, and it is said that he is already the top existence among the immortals." When Xiong Yihu talked about the city lord of Tiger City, his face flushed and he was extremely excited: "If you can really enter the city lord's mansion as a handyman, the salary is much higher than that of other places......; Immortals...... Immortals. ”
Nie Wushuang came back to his senses slightly, looked at Xiong Yihu with glowing eyes, glanced at his sturdy body and said, "Brother Tai, why do you have to go to the City Lord's Mansion?
Xiong Yihu shook his head and said: "Kaiyemen will not recruit miscellaneous servants this year, and our village is closer to Hucheng, and my parents are still here, so it is convenient for me to go home to take care of my old father and mother." ”
Nie Wushuang nodded and said, "Brother Tai's body, there should be no problem with going to the City Lord's Mansion to be recruited as a miscellaneous servant, right?" Looking at the person in front of him, Nie Wushuang thought more of himself at the beginning, when he was so frightened and uneasy to be recruited as a miscellaneous disciple by the Open Leaf Gate, he naturally felt the same way, and he had eight or nine points of understanding in Xiong Yihu's state of mind at this time, and he was much more serious when he spoke.
While the two were talking, the shopkeeper had already sent food to eat, a plate of spicy shredded beef, a boneless chicken feet, a green pepper shredded pork, and a spicy pork rib shrimp.
Nie Wushuang also ordered a drink, he put the dish on Xiong Yihu's side, and said, "Let's eat together." ”
Xiong Yihu poured a glass of wine from his small pot, his face was ruddy, and he shook his head and said, "You eat, you eat, these things, I ...... I'm not used to it. As he spoke, he raised his glass to Nie Wushuang and said, "Thank you, brother, look at your dress, you know that you are from a rich background, and if you are willing to share the table with me today, I will be very happy, come, I will give my brother a drink." ”
Xiong Yihu didn't wait for Nie Wushuang to speak, raised his glass and drank dry, and said, "Good wine!"
How could Nie Wushuang not understand in his heart? Xiong Yihu was poor, and there was still that bit of dignity, thinking about the time when he was begging just now, he still had his dignity, but when he was hungry later, that bit of dignity was slowly swallowed up by hunger.
Looking at Xiong Yihu, Nie Wushuang's heart was flooded with countless pictures of the past, thinking of his anxiety and uneasiness before he went to Lotus Town to enlist the Yemen miscellaneous servants, raised his glass and drank the wine that Xiong Yihu had just toasted, and said: "Look at your body and bones are not bad, I believe that there is no problem with your city lord's mansion to apply for miscellaneous servants, if you can't apply, then think about other ways, since you are determined to cultivate the truth, rest assured, hard work pays off." ”
Nie Wushuang originally wanted to say that he would introduce him to open the leaf gate, but at this moment, he himself was in danger, so he didn't open his mouth and promised, only when the turmoil subsided, he would come to him again, and it would not be too late to introduce him to the open leaf gate.
Xiong Yihu said: "Thank you Brother Tai, by the way, Brother Tai knows this shop? Dashan Jianghu, this is one of the best restaurants in Tiger City, it is said that there is no limit to immortals here, you can enter, and I heard that there are many stories between immortals here, there was once a teenager who ate in the store, because he was kind enough to help others, and finally was favored by the monk who ate at another table, and accepted him as a disciple on the spot, and entered the immortal gate, hey, it's a pity that I have lived for 20 years, and I haven't seen what everyone says about what the Xiuzhen Immortal looks like." ”
Nie Wushuang smiled and said, "There is a chance." ”
The two of them talked so far, and when they were raising their glasses and touching again, suddenly, a middle-aged man wearing a silver crown and a wide red robe appeared at the door of the restaurant.
As soon as this person appeared, he immediately attracted the attention of countless people, Xiong Yihu looked at the person who came in a daze, and after a while, he couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice: "Thank you, City Lord!"
Nie Wushuang looked at the person who came and asked, "He is Xie Siyuan, the city lord of Tiger City?"
Xiong Yihu said excitedly: "Yes, yes, thank you city lord, this is ...... Big shot...... Big shot!"
When Nie Wushuang looked at Xie Siyuan, he found that the other party's gaze was just coming, and the four eyes were facing each other, Xie Siyuan lifted his robe, and laughed: "I heard that a distinguished guest came to my Tiger City, Xie Siyuan, as the city lord, has missed the distance, and I hope to forgive me." As he spoke, he walked towards Nie Wushuang with a smile on his face.
At this time, the black-clothed masked monks at the door of the restaurant rushed in, piling up near the door, looking at Nie Wushuang's side.
They no longer dared to let Nie Wushuang directly face the Jiedan monk, in case there were three longs and two shorts, they couldn't afford it, the key was that everyone felt that Nie Wushuang liked to deliberately make some heart-pounding accidents.
Hundreds of Jiedan monks entered, and the originally spacious Dashan Jianghu Restaurant instantly became even more crowded.
All the customers who ate, the little two who ran the hall, including the shopkeeper behind the counter, were all surprised when they saw this situation.
Xie Siyuan stood beside Nie Wushuang and hugged his fist towards Nie Wushuang and said: "I have admired the name of Wushuang Gongzi for a long time, Xie is late, and I will punish myself with a cup." Xie Siyuan said, picked up an empty cup with an inverted lid from Nie Wushuang, gave Xiong Yihu an inquiring look in a proper manner, looked at Xiong Yihu and nodded, and then poured out a glass of wine from Xiong Yihu's wine pot and put it in the wine glass in his hand, and after toasting to Nie Wushuang and the two, he drank it dry in one gulp.
Xiong Yihu muttered with a dull face: "City Lord Xie...... Toast...... I ......"
Nie Wushuang squinted at Xie Siyuan and said with a smile: "City Lord Xie, what have you admired me for a long time?"
