Chapter 5 Hard Ideas
"Come on, come on, if you want to see a wonderful performance, come quickly, our brothers have traveled all over the country, relying on real kung fu and hard skills, please cheer more."
"Glutinous rice cakes, sweet and delicious glutinous rice cakes."
"Ice ...... Sugar...... Calabash. ”
"Five-spiced tea eggs, a penny, no money if it's not fragrant."
When Li Fei and the others entered Suzhou City, night had already fallen.
However, although it is already night, the city of Suzhou is still full of people, a lively and prosperous scene.
The streets are bustling with people coming and going, and it is very lively.
The shouts of the vendors, the good performances of the tricks, and the applause of the onlookers are endless.
Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er are both coming to the big city for the first time, and everything is new, and they are not in a hurry to find an inn.
is different from the original plot, now there is Li Fei, a big money, they are not short of money, and they taste all kinds of snacks and delicacies along the way, and they are very happy.
"Sister, I'm so hungry, can I eat your glutinous rice cakes?"
Li Fei had just bought a bag of glutinous rice cakes, and the three of them were holding a piece to eat, and a little boy with ragged clothes and thin yellow muscles suddenly walked up to Zhao Ling'er and looked up at him timidly.
Seeing this, Zhao Linger took the paper bag containing glutinous rice cakes from Li Xiaoyao's hand, handed it to the little boy, and said with a smile: "Here you go, eat it!" ”
"Thank you, sister."
The child took the paper bag, took out a large piece of glutinous rice cake and devoured it.
Looking at his eating appearance, Zhao Ling'er was a little distressed, "Are you really so hungry?" Eat slowly, don't choke. ”
Glutinous rice cake is a very filling food, the average child can't even eat one piece, and adults can eat up to two pieces.
And there are three more pieces in the paper bag, Zhao Ling'er's original intention was to keep them for him to eat slowly.
But the kid actually divided five by two, and quickly ate all three pieces of glutinous rice cakes, and Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er were dumbfounded.
The child smashed his mouth and smashed his mouth, and it seemed that he was still a little unsatisfied.
Zhao Ling'er was stunned and asked, "Are you still hungry?" ”
The child covered his stomach and nodded pitifully, Li Xiaoyao was amazed, and went to the stall on the side to buy glutinous rice cakes.
Li Fei's heart moved, he squatted down and stroked the child's head, and Wen Yan asked, "Little brother, what's your name?" ”
The child said, "My name is Little Bean." ”
Sure enough, it's this kid, he has a demon eating worm in his stomach, and this thing is a good thing.
The demon eater can devour the aura on the monster's body, and after devouring enough aura, it will turn into a spirit Gu.
At this time, refining the spirit Gu can greatly increase the cultivation, and the effect is even better than the demon pill.
And if it is accidentally swallowed by ordinary humans, the demon eater insect will not be able to eat the aura, so it will naturally need a large amount of food essence to replace the aura.
If you are a person who is infiltrated by a demon-eating insect, you will become super able to eat.
The demon eater digests food very quickly, and only when it swallows a large amount of food in a short period of time, so that the demon eater has no time to digest it, and is temporarily in a state of fullness, it will come out on its own.
The boss who sold glutinous rice cakes on the side, after selling a bag of glutinous rice cakes to Li Xiaoyao, asked Li Fei: "How many are outsiders, right?" ”
Li Fei said: "Yes, we just arrived in Suzhou today, what advice does the boss have?" ”
The boss kindly reminded: "No wonder you don't know, Xiaodouzi is very famous in our country." ”
"This kid doesn't know what's going on, he has suddenly become very able to eat in the past year, his stomach is like a bottomless pit, and he can't eat enough."
"His family is not rich, his father and mother can't afford to support him, I think a few of them are well-wishers, you better leave him alone, or the amount of money is not enough for him to eat."
After listening to the boss's words, Zhao Linger looked at Xiaodouzi thoughtfully, as if she had guessed something.
Li Xiaoyao said in surprise: "There is still such a thing? ”
As he spoke, he handed the bag of glutinous rice cakes he had just bought to Xiaodouzi again, "Here, you eat." ”
Xiaodouzi took the glutinous rice cake, took a big bite again, and ate a bag of glutinous rice cake after a while.
"Still hungry?"
"Hungry, big brother, I really want to eat sugar gourd."
Hearing this, Li Fei walked up to the vendor selling rock sugar gourds, took out a piece of silver for one tael, and said, "Boss, I bought all the sugar gourds." ”
The vendor selling rock sugar gourds was overjoyed, but said embarrassedly: "Son, my sugar gourds only cost more than 30 yuan, you ...... I can't find it! ”
Li Fei stuffed the silver into the hawker's hand, pointed to the straw stalk where the sugar gourd was inserted, and said, "Don't look for it, you carry it with me." ”
"Okay, thank you, Childe." The peddler was overjoyed, put away the silver, followed Li Fei with a straw pole, and walked to Xiaodouzi's side.
Li Fei picked a few sugar gourds from the straw and handed them to Xiaodouzi, and said with a smile: "Eat, whatever you want to eat, you just say, I have to let you eat today." ”
Xiaodouzi took the sugar gourd and said happily: "Thank you, big brother, you are all good people." ”
The three of them smiled, and Xiaodouzi began to pick up the skewers with two sugar gourds in one hand.
Li Fei asked the vendor selling sugar gourds to pick sugar gourds for Xiaodouzi, got up and walked to Zhao Ling'er and Li Xiaoyao, and whispered: "Ling'er, do you know the demon eating insects?" ”
Zhao Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she said with a smile: "Big brother can also see it!" I wasn't sure at first! ”
"I've heard my grandmother say that if a demon-eating insect burrows into a person's belly, the person will be very hungry, as if he will never have enough to eat."
Li Xiaoyao said in surprise: "There are still such bugs? So what to do? Can you get it out? ”
Zhao Ling'er nodded and said, "Yes, as long as he is really full, the demon eater will come out on its own, and this person will be saved." ”
"It's just that most people don't know about it, and they always don't feed themselves well, so the demon eater will always be in the stomach and can't crawl out."
"That's it!" Li Xiaoyao stroked his chin and said, "Then how much do you have to eat to be full?" ”
Zhao Ling'er shook her head and said, "I don't know, just let him eat!" You'll always be full. ”
"But this is only a small problem, this demon eater has a more important thing involved."
Li Fei echoed: "Ling'er is right, all things are mutually reinforcing, and there must be antidote near highly poisonous things. ”
"In the same way, where demon-eating insects infest, there must be monsters nearby."
Li Xiaoyao was taken aback, lowered his voice and said, "You mean that there are monsters near Suzhou City?" ”
Li Fei said: "Nine times out of ten, I just don't know where that monster is hiding, let's ask around tomorrow, or we may have a harvest." ”
"If that monster is just concentrating on cultivation and has nothing to do with others, then you don't need to care about it."
"If that monster is causing trouble, let's get rid of it."
Li Xiaoyao said in surprise: "Aren't all monsters harmful?" ”
Li Fei's expression was solemn and he said, "Who said that?" Youkai, like humans, are also good and evil. ”
"Most of the monsters just cultivate in the mountains and wilderness, hoping to achieve positive results, and some monsters will even help save people."
"You have to remember that when you encounter a monster, you must not indiscriminately draw your sword and kill it, otherwise you will create a lot of injustice and make yourself full of evil."
"People have good people and bad people, demons are also divided into good demons and evil demons, people in my generation keep the right and ward off the evil, kill the demons and eliminate the demons, only punish the evil demons, do not kill the innocent indiscriminately, you know?"
Zhao Linger listened to Li Fei's words, and greatly agreed with him, and admired Li Fei even more.
"Big brother is right, there are many little demons on Xianling Island, they are all some grass and tree spirits, never harming people, I have been playing with them since I was a child!"
Li Xiaoyao saw that Li Fei's expression was serious, and he said very solemnly, and Zhao Ling'er corroborated it from the side, so he nodded seriously at the moment and said, "I remember, and I will definitely distinguish between right and wrong and distinguish between good and evil in the future." ”
Li Fei said with relief: "The children can be taught." ”
While a few people were muttering, a straw stalk of sugar gourd had been swept away by the little beans.
While licking his fingers, he said to Li Fei embarrassedly: "Big brother, I still want to eat tea eggs." ”
Li Fei smiled, threw another tael of silver to the vendor who sold tea eggs, and wrapped all the tea eggs.
After Xiaodouzi ate more than two dozen tea eggs in one go, he finally stopped.
Zhao Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she asked Xiaodouzi, "Have you eaten enough?" ”
Xiaodouzi shook his head and said, "I don't know either, I just don't want to eat anymore." ”
As soon as he finished saying this, Xiao Douzi's face changed, and he bent over and made a vomiting sound.
But he just retched, and he didn't spit out at all after eating so much just now.
After a few breaths, something finally came out of his mouth, a strange bug the size of a small thumb and orange-red all over.
Li Fei held his right hand weakly, secretly launched the way of creation, created a small bamboo tube out of thin air, buckled the insect, put it into the bamboo tube, and cast a spell to seal it.
Since this demon-eating insect was a living creature and could not be stored in the Qiankun bag or storage space, he casually carried it into his arms.
This matter was only seen by a few vendors around, but it didn't cause any sensation, but a few vendors talked about it, and their eyes looked at Li Fei with a bit of awe.
Zhao Ling'er stroked Xiaodouzi's back and asked, "Do you feel better?" ”
Xiaodouzi showed a happy smile on her face and said, "Thank you, sister, I'm not hungry." ”
The boss who sold glutinous rice cakes on the side said with a smile: "Son's good means, you cured Xiaodouzi, which can be regarded as saving their family!" ”
Li Fei smiled and said to Xiaodouzi: "Xiaodouzi, remember to go home early, don't let your father and mother worry, goodbye." ”
"I know, goodbye big brother, goodbye sister."
……
Gu: "It turns out that I will be so happy to help others, I know why so many people like to be chivalrous." ”
After helping Xiaodouzi, Li Xiaoyao felt that his steps were much lighter, and he was in a very happy mood.
Li Fei smiled: "The so-called gift of roses, there is fragrance in the hand, not the harvest will be happy, and the effort will also make people happy." ”
"Give people roses, and your hands will have a lingering fragrance." Zhao Ling'er looked at Li Fei with reverence in her eyes and exclaimed, "Big brother said it so well. ”
Li Xiaoyao was also greatly impressed, Li Fei didn't just say this with empty words, but also did it like this.
People who are consistent in their words and deeds are always admirable.
As the night deepened, the three of them walked into an inn and prepared to stay.
This inn is very large, it is a large inn integrating catering, accommodation and entertainment, which is equivalent to a star-rated hotel in later generations.
And the entertainment of this era, Huang has to go to the Qinglou prostitution, the poison is only five stones, and the entertainment in the inn is naturally only gambling.
Because this inn contains a casino, it is still brightly lit and noisy on this big night.
As soon as the three of them entered the inn door, the shopkeeper came forward and greeted him politely: "The three guest officers are invited, I don't know if they are playing in the hotel or staying in the hotel?" ”
Li Fei said: "Live in the hotel and open two upper rooms for us." ”
When I was shopping, I was already full of all kinds of snacks, but I didn't need to order any more food.
After talking at the counter, the shopkeeper looked at the three of them back and forth, and asked Li Fei and Li Xiaoyao: "The two sons are here to participate in the martial arts competition?" ”
Li Xiaoyao said casually: "No, we are just passing through here, trying to find a place to spend the night, and we will continue to rush tomorrow." ”
The shopkeeper said apologetically: "That's really embarrassing, the three of you also ask yourself to find a way, all the rooms in this hotel have been taken down by the Lin family, and free accommodation is given to people who come from other places to sign up for the competition." ”
"Huh?" Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment and asked, "What kind of martial arts competition to recruit relatives?" ”
The shopkeeper explained: "The prince doesn't know, the richest man in the local area, Master Lin of Linjiabao, since three years ago, has set up a martial arts competition to recruit relatives every few days every year to choose a husband for his only daughter, Miss Lin. ”
"In order to facilitate the accommodation of outsiders who come to participate in the competition, he chartered all the guest rooms, so there are no empty rooms in the inn in Suzhou on these days every year."
After listening to the shopkeeper's words, Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Linger looked at each other, which was too coincidental.
So what do they do now? Is it sleeping on the streets?
Li Fei said to the shopkeeper: "Presumably, there will not be many people who are qualified to sign up for the competition to recruit relatives, and there should be a spare room in your store." ”
"Can the shopkeeper be accommodating? I am willing to pay three times the price of the room. ”
The shopkeeper shook his head and said, "Son, forgive me, I don't make money unless I contempt people, but I have to pay attention to honesty in business." ”
"The guest rooms have been booked out, and if a few more people are allowed to live in, it is equivalent to me renting one room and two houses, which is absolutely unacceptable."
"If it is known that I am doing this, it will greatly damage the reputation of the small shop, and I ask for my understanding."
Li Xiaoyao's eyes rolled, and he suddenly smiled: "I was joking with the shopkeeper just now, in fact, the two of us are here to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives, this is my sister-in-law, come to cheer for us." ”
Zhao Ling'er saw Li Xiaoyao say this, lowered her head and pursed her lips, but finally didn't laugh.
Brother Xiaoyao is really slippery.
The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Then please show the registration post!" ”
Li Xiaoyao was dumbfounded, "Registration post? ”
The shopkeeper explained: "Those who have registered have a registration post issued by the Lin family, and they can stay for free if they only hold this registration post, if there is no registration post, then it will be embarrassing." ”
“……”
Li Xiaoyao was speechless, this Lin family was so leaky.
Li Fei suddenly laughed and said, "Forgive me, shopkeeper, we just want to try it to see if the shopkeeper is really as honest as rumored, we have the registration post." ”
Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er looked at Li Fei in confusion.
But when he saw him reach into his arms, and when he took it out again, he really took out two posts, and he couldn't help but be stunned.
However, it was Li Fei who swept the inn with his divine sense, and after seeing the style of the post carried by the person who stayed there, he made it himself with the way of creation.
The content on the post is the same as the real one, and even the seal of the Lin Mansion is exactly the same, but there is no relevant record on the Lin family's side, which is a real fake post.
But it doesn't matter, they just need to stay for one night.
The shopkeeper took the post and checked it, there was no problem, it was a real post, and he couldn't help crying and laughing: "Childe is really ...... Our inn is a time-honored brand with a good reputation, so why be so tempted? ”
Li Fei hugged his fists apologetically and said, "It's under Meng Lang." ”
The shopkeeper returned the post to Li Fei, called the shopkeeper, and instructed him to take three people up and open two rooms for them.
"I'm sorry, it stands to reason that Sister Ling can't move in, but the two sons can open two rooms, so how to arrange it will be for the sons to think about it themselves."
Li Fei bowed his head and said, "We understand, thank you shopkeeper." ”
"A few of you, please."
The three of them followed the shopkeeper to the entrance of the building, and Li Xiaoyao and Zhao Ling'er had also reacted at this time.
Not surprisingly, this should be another big brother's trick, or they haven't registered at all, where did the post come from?
Just a few steps up the stairs, the three of them suddenly heard a burst of scolding and cries of pain from the casino on the left side of the stairs.
"Hit him."
"Kick him to death, the toad wants to eat swan meat, soak yourself and take a picture!"
"You want to marry Miss Lin like you?"
"Even we can't beat us, and you still want to participate in the martial arts competition to recruit relatives? Phew. ”
"Oops...... Ah......h
Li Xiaoyao's whole person became excited, as if he had another opportunity to do chivalry.
"Big brother, go and see?"
Zhao Ling'er smiled bitterly and glanced at Li Fei, Li Fei also shook his head with a smile, and said, "I know that you Li Daxia is warm and chivalrous, let's go!" ”
"Hey, hey."
After saying hello to the shopkeeper, he walked over there, and the shopkeeper hurriedly followed.
Entering the casino, without paying attention to the gamblers gathered around the table, Li Xiaoyao's eyes went straight to the casino.
I saw three men with big shoulders and round waists, beating around a young man wearing a light blue robe and a hat and looking like a scholar.
Li Xiaoyao couldn't tolerate this in his eyes, and immediately strode forward and shouted, "Stop." ”
Li Fei clasped his arms and stood side by side with Zhao Ling'er, letting Li Xiaoyao play.
The three big men stopped when they heard the sound, looked back, and saw that it was a handsome young man, and they didn't take him seriously, "Little white face, don't be nosy, get out." ”
Li Xiaoyao folded his arms and hugged them, squinting at the three of them: "I'm sorry, this hero loves to meddle in things." ”
"What kind of skills are you three guilty of bullying a weak scholar? If you have the ability to fight me. ”
The three splashes were furious, and one of them shouted: "Little white face is looking for death." ”
After speaking, he raised his big fist and punched Li Xiaoyao's handsome face.
The content of the Flying Dragon Cloud Explorer immediately appeared in Li Xiaoyao's mind.
He dodged the punch sideways, and his right hand pointed into a sword, and he went up a little faster at a very fast speed, and poked it at the hemp of the opponent's elbow impartially.
The speed of this poke is almost beyond the dynamic visual limits of ordinary people.
"Ah......h
The splash didn't even understand what was going on, only felt a sharp pain in his arm, and then he lost consciousness and couldn't control it, and his whole arm hung down beside him.
"What the hell?" Seeing him retreat inexplicably in pain, another splash shouted angrily, flew up and kicked Li Xiaoyao in the chest.
Li Xiaoyao took a step to the left, and pointed out again, hitting the opponent's ankle.
The skinny foot was numb, and then the whole leg was so painful that he couldn't stand on his feet, and he staggered and fell to the ground.
"Ah...... My foot ......" he exclaimed in pain that he almost thought his foot was broken.
The third person saw that one of the two brothers seemed to have a dislocated arm and the other seemed to have a sprained foot, and said angrily: "I don't believe that this kid is so evil, and he looks at it with a white face." ”
He pulled out a short stick from his waist, raised his hand and waved it at Li Xiaoyao's head.
Li Xiaoyao did not retreat but advanced, raised his left hand, which happened to be on his forearm, and slapped his chest with a palm of his right hand.
The man's chest suffocated, the top of his head dizzy, and he almost couldn't get up in one breath.
Li Xiaoyao took advantage of the other party's dizziness, lifted his big foot, and kicked the other party's chest.
The splash suddenly flew back upside down and smashed on the body of the splash who had just regained consciousness in his arm, and the two rolled together.
The three splashes finally understood that this little white face was not something they could compete with.
didn't even dare to say a cruel word, and left with each other's hands in a gray way.
Recently, Lin Jiabao held a martial arts competition to recruit relatives, and young and handsome people from all over the world gathered here.
Some of them are just silver-like pewter heads, while some of them have real things under their hands.
Obviously, they hit the hard spot.
