Half an hour later, the leopard took some of her clothes and silver and took Duan Lili to leave the mountain where she grew up and came to the vast world.

If it weren't for the Poison Dragon King, the leopard wouldn't have left.

He almost turned around and took three steps back, looking wistfully at the ancient temple in the moonlight.

Duan Lili said, "Brother, don't look at it anymore. ”

"You really don't want to leave this ancient temple. It's been a year and a half. At the moment, the Poison Dragon King can't find anyone. They'll definitely come back. Maybe he will find Ma Laosi's body in the deep stream, and it will be more dangerous for you to stay there. ”

The leopard was silent. He followed behind Duan Lili and walked briskly on the mountain path, and when it was almost dawn, they came to the foot of the mountain.

By this time, the moon had set in the west, and when dawn came, the night was the darkest, and I could not see my fingers.

Leopard suddenly said, "Sister, there is a house in front. ”

"Oh? How do you know? Have you been here before?"

The leopard shook his head: "I have never come, and the master still won't let me go down the mountain." ”

"And how do you know?"

"Sister, I saw it!"

"What! What do you see?"

"Yes, can't you see, sister?" Duan Lili couldn't believe it.

In the darkness, only trees within 10 feet were faintly visible.

In addition, nothing can be seen.

At this time, Duan Lili suddenly found a pair of leopard eyes, shining in the dark green light, like a cat's eyes, which was even stranger.

She couldn't help but think of what the leopard had said, but what she saw at night, could this stupid boy really have the ability to see at night?

If that's the case, he's a miracle!

"Little brother," she said, "how can I see without your night eyes, and how far is that house from here?"

"About half a mile. Sister, can we stay there until tomorrow morning?"

"Are you tired of walking?"

"I'm not tired. I'm afraid my sister will get tired. ”

"I'm not tired!

Duan Lili thought for a while and said, "Little brother, let's go and get close to it quietly." You wait for me, I'll go and borrow something from their house. ”

Leopard Monster: "What does my sister want to borrow?"

"Borrow a set of clothes!"

"Borrow a set of clothes?"

"Isn't it dangerous for me to be seen by the minions of the Poison Dragon King when I was walking on the road in broad daylight? ”

"Will they lend it to you?"

"Don't worry. I bought it from them. ”

How does the leopard know that the so-called "borrowing" of warriors is to take it without asking.

When they got to the neighborhood, Duan Lili told Leopard to wait, and he quietly jumped into the house and entered the house.

The leopard was stunned when she saw it, why didn't her sister knock on the door and call someone? Aren't you afraid to go like this? After a while, the leopard saw a figure flash out, it didn't seem to be a sister, she was stunned, the figure had already walked up to him, and said, "Little brother, let's go quickly." ”

Leopard was stunned: "Sister, is it you?"

For in front of the leopard was a man dressed as a villager, with a green cloth wrapped around his head, a cloth belt around his waist, and a set of short clothes, which looked like a young man of a village hunter.

Duan Lili smiled and said, "Of course it's me! You can't call me sister anymore, you have to call me brother." ”

Leopard was solemn for a long time: "Sister, why are you pretending to be a man?"

"So that we can walk easily, and no one will recognize me. Come on, brother. ”

Duan Lili went first, and the leopard followed.

After a long walk, the sky was bright.

Leopard looked at Duan Lili and said, "My sister doesn't look like a mountain person. ”

"Why don't I look like it?"

"My sister is so beautiful, white and pure, how can the residents of the mountains have such a sister?"

"Yes, I have to be disguised. Even if you can see it, you can't escape the eyes of the Xuanling General. ”

"How did my sister dress up?"

"It's not easy. Make some grass juice, mix some dust, and apply it to your face. It's the easiest way to disguise!"

"Isn't that dirty?"

"What are you afraid of, as long as no one sees that I'm a woman. ”

"Isn't this woman very nice?"

"You don't understand, little brother, that a young woman walking through the Soul is always going to get into trouble. ”

"But why did my sister ...... before?"

"In the past, I had maids and valets around me, and they all knew martial arts. Ordinary people don't dare to mess with me, but now it's different. Although I have you, you can't do martial arts, so you can't protect me!"

Leopard couldn't help but say: "Sister, if I have martial arts, my sister doesn't need to wear makeup." ”

"Of course, little brother!"

Duan Lili really got some grass juice, mixed some soil, and wiped her face.

Her fair, delicate face suddenly turned green and yellow.

Then she asked the leopard, "Do I look like it now?"

"It looks like that, but it's not pretty. ”

"Oh, what are you looking for, little brother, remember, you have to call me Big Brother, or I'll be recognized!"

"I know. ”

By noon, they had already left the ancient temple for a hundred miles, and they turned from the mountain road to the busy road leading to the city.

Duan Lili was no longer worried about meeting the Poison Dragon King's people.

At the inn under a camphor tree, she said, "Brother, shall we go to that inn for a meal before we leave?"

"Sister,"

Duan Lili coughed: "Brother!"

The leopard woke up, smiled shyly and said, "I'm used to it." I almost forgot. ”

"Don't scream in front of people. ”

Leopard nodded: "I remember!"

"Do you want to go to the inn?"

"Ahh ”

"I thought you didn't know when you were tired and when you were hungry. ”

When they approached the inn, Xiao Er had already greeted him, with a smiling face, and he wanted to say the word "master", but when he saw that they were dressed as a mountain man, he immediately changed his tone and said, "Two little brothers, do you want to drink and eat?" My wine is good, my food is good, and my price is cheap. ”

When Duan Lili approached the inn, she had already secretly looked at the people inside and outside the inn.

On the open tables, there sat people, who seemed to be some merchants and peddlers and nearby villagers, and at the tables inside, sitting two government officials, who seemed to be demanding money and food, only under the tree, sat a filthy old beggar, with a broken bowl and a dozen dog sticks, invisible.

When Duan Lili left the inn, she looked at the beggar again and said to Xiao Er, "We're going to eat soon." Do you have anything to eat here?"

"Yes, yes, we have braised beef, braised pork belly, barbecued pork, spicy tofu, fried fish. ”

Xiao Er asked them to sit down at a table in the open air, wiped the top of the table with shoulder pads, and then asked, "What do you like to eat?"

Duan Lili asked Leopard in a low voice, "Brother, what do you want to eat?"

The leopard has always been a vegetarian in the ancient temple. He eats a variety of mushrooms such as mushrooms, fungus, golden needles and mushrooms. He and his master grew vegetables, but he rarely ate meat and didn't eat much tofu.

Duan Lili asked, he didn't know what to eat, so he said, "I'll eat whatever my brother eats." ”

"Really?" Duan Lili turned to Xiao Er and said, "How about a plate of spicy tofu, beef stew and rice?"

Leopard asked, "Doesn't the little brother drink?"

Duan Lili asked Leopard Er again: "Brother, are you drinking?"

"Drink! When did you learn to drink?"

"Master and I have learned to drink!"

Master said, "Don't drink too much wine, drink one or two glasses to invigorate your blood and relax your muscles." ”

When they entered the inn, some people didn't pay attention to them, but now their reply, especially what Leopard said to Duan Lili, attracted people's attention, and they turned their heads to look at Duan Lili and Leopard, and at the same time attracted the attention of the old beggar under the tree.

Duan Lili was also embarrassed by her question, she said, "Since my brother is drinking, Xiao Er will give us wine to drink, but make us a cup of tea first." ”

"Yes, yes!" Xiao Er was busy preparing tea, wine, and vegetables for them.

Leopard asked, "Brother, don't you drink?"

"Drink!"

"Brother, are two glasses of wine enough?"

"How much do you want?"

"Half a pound is okay?"

"Aren't you afraid of fainting? We've got some way to go. ”

"Brother, I won't get drunk even if I drink two catties. ”

Duan Lili's eyes widened.

"Two pounds, won't you faint?"

Leopard smiled embarrassedly: "Master, drink more! Either you don't drink it, or you drink four or five catties as soon as you drink." ”

The leopard spoke without hesitation, which caused the surprise of others, a boy of twelve or thirteen years old, who would not get drunk after drinking two catties of wine, which is rare.

In addition to being surprised, he had an unbelievable expression, thinking that the leopard was bragging, ordinary children, a glass of wine fell out of their stomachs, drunk, even if the volume is very large, it is only three glasses of wine, how can there be two catties of wine not drunk?

One of the middle-aged businessmen, dressed as a man, walked over from his seat with a pot of wine and asked Leopard, "Brother, are you really drunk after two catties of wine?"

"Yes!"

"And what if you're drunk?"

"Uncle, I'm not going to get drunk. ”

"Okay! I'm willing to bet you, if you really don't get drunk, even if you give me money for the wine and food at your table, I'll give you ten taels of silver in addition to that. If you're drunk, be my valet. ”

The leopard shook his head: "I don't bet with you, I'm not drunk, and I won't ask for your silver." ”

"Little brother, you seem to be bragging. ”

"I'm not bragging. ”

"Then why don't you bet?"

When Duan Lili saw the merchant coming, she was already very unhappy.

Now, seeing him so flustered, she smiled coldly and said, "You are very accurate. When you lose, you only spend ten taels of silver and the cost of a table of food. Is it fair that my brother will be your slave if he loses?"

The middle-aged businessmen didn't expect that this sickly young man in the mountains was so shrewd and sophisticated, and couldn't help laughing twice: "Then how do you gamble to be fair?"

"Do you really want to bet?"

The middle-aged businessman said, "Yes." ”

"Well, since you want to gamble, then bet, my brother is drunk, I will be your manservant, if he is not drunk, we don't want your money, you will be our servant." In the same way, we won't treat you badly!"

"This," Duan Lili asked with a smile, "Don't you dare to bet?" Since you don't dare, please go away, don't hinder us from eating." ”

The middle-aged businessman gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll make a bet with you, but your brother is drunk, and even you have to follow me." ”

Leopard hurriedly said: "Brother, we don't gamble, what's the good of betting!"

Duan Lili asked, "Brother, can't you drink two catties of wine?"

"I can drink. ”

"Will you get drunk?"

"Brother, I'm not going to get drunk. ”

"Since we can't get drunk, why don't we bet him that we need such a servant?"

"Brother, how bad is this, why do we want him to be a servant?"

"He brought it on himself, not through our fault. If you don't know how to drink, brother, don't bet with him. ”

"No! I can drink it. ”

"Let's make a bet, brother. ”

The middle-aged businessman listened to their conversation and waited for an opportunity to leave, but he seemed to be addicted to gambling and was uncomfortable not gambling, but felt that it was sinful for the leopard not to dare to gamble, but saved face and said that he could drink.

He immediately said, "Okay! It's a choice. ”

The merchant immediately asked the boss to get two catties of liquor.

Leopard looked at Duan Lili and said, "Brother, do we really bet?"

"Can't you bet? Brother, it seems that we haven't made a decision yet, and people are forcing us!"

"Brother, we can go!"

The middle-aged businessman listened to Leopard'er's words and felt that Leopard couldn't drink two catties of wine, so he urged Xiao Er to bring more wine.

The leopard hurriedly said, "Don't ask someone to bring wine, I won't bet with you." ”

But Xiao Er had already brought two catties of white dry, and the middle-aged businessman smiled and said: "Brother, don't be afraid, the wine has been beaten, you follow me, there are only benefits, no harm, my medicine store is open in Kunming, brother, all you have to do is to give me a helper, provide food and clothes, is it better than you suffering?"

Although Duan Lili and Leopard don't spend much time together, she feels that Leopard is kind-hearted and honest. He never lied, so he said, "Aren't we going to Dali too?" Dali and Kunming are all the same. ”

The middle-aged businessman said: "Kunming is more prosperous and lively than Dali!"

He put the two catties of wine in front of the leopard, "Little brother, please!"

"Wait a minute," Ms. Duan said.

The middle-aged businessman was stunned: "Don't you gamble?"

"No, we're going to hire witnesses, otherwise what if you don't admit the loss of gambling?"

"Yes, yes. ”

The middle-aged merchant turned to the others and said, "Ladies and gentlemen, who will be our witness?"

People have been watching this strange gamble, and when they hear the middle-aged businessman ask, they almost all say, "We're here, you bet." ”

Even the two errand boys who had been drinking in the store came out to watch the gamble.

The merchant said to the leopard, "Little brother, please!"

Leopard hesitated and asked Duan Lili, "Brother, do we really want to bet?"

"Brother, if you don't gamble, you can't do it! Who told you that you won't get drunk if you drink two catties of wine? But don't treat me as a little servant and call others to do it. ”

When the leopard heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, and thought to himself: Yes, I can't harm my realm, so he said, "Okay! I drank it!"

The leopard then picked up the wine jar, poured a big sip into his mouth, and soon, poured two catties of white dry wine into the sky, put down the wine jar and said, "I'm done!"

The crowd cheered in agreement.

The middle-aged businessman was suddenly stunned, and after a long time, he stared at Xiao Er and the boss and asked, "You have filled two catties of wine?"

"I, of course I'm full!"

"Nonsense, you dare to lie to me? You only beat half a pound of wine, and you deceived me when you were two pounds of wine. ”

Duan Lili said: "It's useless to talk about it now! This will pass through your hands and put dozens of glasses of wine in front of my brother." Two catties or half catties, don't you know when you lift them?"

Leopard said: "I really drank two catties, don't wronged the second child." ”

Duan Lili added: "Even if two catties are not enough, if you don't say it at the time, you should count it as two catties." Don't try to run away with punishment. Be our slaves. ”

Leopard said: "This jar of wine is really two catties, even if it drops a little when it is beaten, it will not exceed half a tael, otherwise I will drink one or two more glasses, okay?"

One of the guys in the room said fairly, "Man, if you lose, you really should admit it." How can you blame someone?"

The middle-aged businessman laughed and said, "But I'll tell you a joke, why are you all serious?"

Duan Lili immediately looked heavy, "Don't you dare to admit it?"

The middle-aged businessman smiled and said, "Brother, this is not a matter of admittion, do you think there is such a joke in real betting?" It must be signed by both parties and must have the handprint of the notary. Is it a real bet? Well, I'll pay you for your drink, and your dinner, given your brother's ability to drink. ”

Duan Lili was about to teach the cunning merchant a lesson, but when she saw two strong men with swords coming to the hotel from the road, she shouted in surprise for a moment: "Fu Duan, Shou Duan, you are here."

The two men looked around in surprise. They don't know who they call themselves.

Duan Lili no longer put back her voice and resumed her female voice: "Fu Duan, Shou Duan, I'm calling you." ”

Fu Duan and Shou Duan were surprised and delighted when they heard the voice of the young lady they were looking for.

But when they saw Duan Lili's clothes, they were confused and asked, "You!!"

"How? Can't you hear me?"

Fu Duan and Shou Duan no longer doubted, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, while saying, "The villain kowtows to Miss." ”

"It's okay! ”

"It's Miss! ”

This phenomenon, the people in the inn were even more surprised, it turned out that a sick mountain young man was actually a woman disguised as a man.

These two men, dressed in rich and sturdy clothes, were actually her servants, and it was clear that this was not an ordinary family, but must have been a nobleman.

Duan Lili asked, "Why are you here?"

Fu Duan said: "Miss, since you disappeared in the inn in the town, Miss Mei took a pigeon to the lord overnight, and the lord immediately sent someone to find the whereabouts of the miss, but I didn't expect the villain to see the lady here." ”

"Miss, why did you come here like this?"

"No! I was almost killed by the Poison Dragon King. ”

Seeing the middle-aged businessman leaving the hotel, the call came and hurriedly said, "Stop." Do you want to run?"

Fu Duan, said and hurriedly asked, "Who is the young lady calling?"

Duan Lili pointed to a middle-aged businessman and said, "Bring him here." ”

Fu Duan thought that this was a person from the Poison Dragon King, so he jumped over and sealed his acupuncture points with a single movement.

Then he grabbed him like a chicken, threw him at Duan Lili's feet, and asked, "Miss, is he the Poison Dragon King?"

The middle-aged businessman was sealed, his upper body couldn't move, and he had to take such a throw, he almost ascended to heaven with one Buddha, and the second Buddha was born, and he cried all the time in pain.

Duan Lili said: "It seems that he really doesn't know martial arts. Fu Duan, you have solved the acupuncture points on his body. ”

Fu Duan patted and unlocked the merchant's acupuncture points.

"Do you still want to hold on now?" Duan Lili asked.
