The first snow of the year fell a little late, just before Chinese New Year's Eve.

The wind was cold and the snow was heavy, which caused Yue Ning'an to complain for a while: "Chen Shiyi, it's all your fault, you have to hurry up, it's okay now, there is no shop in front of the village, there is not even a deserted temple and no shrine, everyone has to spend the night in the snow." ”

The young man didn't bother to pay attention to him, and buried himself in the advance.

Xu is lucky, and it didn't take long for Lord Qi to point ahead: "There seems to be light ahead."

If there is light, there will be people, and some people will have a hot mouth to eat, no matter how bad it is, at least they can have a bowl of hot water, and a place to shelter from the wind and snow. Thinking about it, the three of them felt much warmer, and their steps became brisk.

This is a small inn, the cloth banner on the pole is swept up by the wind, and the words "human inn" trembling on the guise can be vaguely seen, and the lantern hanging under the eaves is crumbling in the wind and snow, which is already the only place within a radius of dozens of miles that still shines through.

Yue Ning'an entered the inn first, shook the snowflakes on his body, stomped the ice slag on his feet, looked at the shopkeeper who greeted him, and asked, "Do you have anything to eat?" ”

"This guest officer, Chinese New Year's Eve is approaching, and the chef in charge of the small shop went home two days early for the New Year. Nowadays, there are only buns, noodles and other things. ”

"Do you have any wine?"

The shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus at the counter raised his head when he heard this, and said with a smile: "There is wine, but it is still good wine." A few days ago, the merchants in Beijing were sharpened in a small shop, and I was evened out by my dead face. The small shop also has some sauce beef and pickles for the New Year, and if the guest officer does not dislike it, he will give the guest officer a wine. ”

"That's a good feeling! Open three more upper rooms for your grandfather and boil more hot water. ”

On this snowy night, there is wine, meat, you can eat a bowl of hot noodles, and you can take a hot bath again, thinking about it, you feel comfortable, and Yue Ning'an suddenly smiled.

After a while, a large plate of sauced beef and pickles was cut and served together with two glasses of wine.

Lord Qi and Yue Ning'an didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and weighed it themselves.

"Guest officer, the noodles you want, this is the biggest bowl in the shop, please use it slowly. The buns are steamed on the cage and will be good for a while. The shopkeeper was holding two large bowls of steaming noodles, one in front of Chen Shiyi and the other in front of the monkey. There is also a fried egg and a large spoonful of pickles on the top.

Chen Shiyi smelled the fragrant noodles, "snorted", the noodles went down, took a breath of satisfaction, smiled, and gave a thumbs up to the shopkeeper: "Strong!" ”

"If you like it, guest officer." The shopkeeper who got the praise was very happy, looking at the young man's smiling face and dripping oil, and quipped to the monkey who was restless when he entered the inn on the side: "This monkey guest officer, is this not your appetite, but unfortunately in this cold winter, the small shop really has no place to find melons, fruits and vegetables for you." ”

Before the words fell, the door of the inn creaked open, and the cold wind swept the snowflakes in and took the opportunity to rush in. The shopkeeper hurried over, let the people into the house, and closed the door for fear of freezing the guests inside.

Yue Ning'an, who was sitting in front of the door, was stabbed by the sudden cold wind, and he raised his head and was about to scold, but he was stunned and lowered his head at a faster speed.

Lord Qi, who was sitting next to him, straightened his spine instantly, and his whole person collapsed.

Chen Shiyi looked at the two of them for some reason, turned his head to look, and then lowered his head, but he couldn't help it, and secretly looked at it a few more times.

I saw a girl in a red dress and a red dress, carrying a little monk and walked in.

The girl's apricot kernel-like eyes are dark and bright, and her playful little dimples don't need taste to feel the sweetness, and she is still so beautiful. The appearance of the little monk is five or six years old, wearing an ordinary gray monk's robe, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging on his chest, and his round head shining under the lamplight, but the bitter gourd face that seems to owe him money has not changed much.

"Shopkeeper, do you have anything to eat?" The girl's crisp voice floated in the boy's ears like a beautiful piano sound.

"There are noodles, and half a catty of beef in sauce, and the big meat buns are steamed on the cage, and they will be ready immediately."

The girl looked at the things on Chen Shiyi's table and swallowed: "Let's have three buns." ”

The little monk was anxious, and tugged at the corner of the girl's clothes with a bitter face, but did not get a response.

The big hot meat buns were served in the steamer.

The little monk sat opposite the girl, watching the girl take care of herself and send the bun to her mouth, and finally couldn't help but open her mouth, and said two words bitterly: "I'm hungry ......"

The girl put the big meat bun she had bitten into the plate and pushed it in front of the little monk.

The little monk dared to be angry and didn't dare to speak, frowning, and his face became even more bitter: "Monks can't eat meat!" ”

"Then be hungry!"

"Why?"

"You ate too much at noon, ate three cakes, and ate the evening's portions, so dinner is gone."

"You've eaten four cakes yourself!" The little monk trembled angrily.

The girl didn't care: "I didn't, you counted wrong!" ”

The little monk's tears were about to fall, and he said in a lamented voice: "You are my senior sister, you can't treat me like this." ”

The girl's eyes were round: "You still know that I am your senior sister." Master sent you to the temple back then so that the old monk could help you strengthen the seal and help you practice. It's good that you're a monk! Are you worthy of Master?! ”

"What's wrong with a monk, being a monk is also a kind of practice."

"Anyway, this time it's out, don't think about going back!"

"You took advantage of Senior Brother's retreat to tie me up and injure several Senior Brothers. The Buddha will punish you! ”

"I don't believe him, he can't control me!"

Encountering such a hob-like former senior sister, the little monk burst into tears, and said again: "I'm hungry......"

"You promise me that you don't need to run blindly when you return to the mountain, and I will buy you food. Now that Master is gone, it should have been your responsibility, but now it's all up to me. ”

"No, my father passed on the sect to you, and you just wanted to pick a son, so you tied me up!"

The girl in red saw the little monk poking through the window paper, and generously admitted: "What's the matter?" Facing those old immortal elders all day long, and a group of stupid people who dream of slaying demons and destroying demons all day long, they are annoyed to death. ”

"You, how can you do this? I, I ......"

"What do you want to do?"

"I'm going to go!" The little monk uttered the toughest sentence so far.

The girl in red and the little monk didn't talk behind their backs, and Chen Shiyi could hear it clearly.

Chen Shiyi didn't feel anything, Lord Qi and Yue Ning'an sweated on their heads, it turned out that this girl was actually a figure at the level of the sect master of the mountain gate, and no matter the size of the mountain gate, whether it was formal or temporary, in terms of status, seniority, and force, they didn't even have enough to eat ashes behind other people's butts. The atmosphere didn't dare to take a breath, and he ate and drank with his head down.

Master Qi picked up the bun and took a bite, put it on the plate, glanced at Yue Ning'an, stopped Chen Shiyi, shook his head at him, and said in a low voice: "Why don't you eat noodles." ”

The little monk mustered up his courage, and in the eyes of the girl's needle, he walked in front of the shopkeeper, and before he could speak, he heard the shopkeeper say: "Little Master, why don't I give you a bowl of somen noodles." ”

The little monk nodded excitedly, like a rice pestle, this is meeting a good person.

"Thank you, donor."

The shopkeeper and the chef in the back kitchen each served a large bowl of noodles, a bowl of somen noodles, and a bowl of egg noodles, the same steaming hot, and a spoonful of pickles were added to the noodles.

The shopkeeper took the noodles, put them in front of the little monk in person, and stood aside and watched him finish eating with a smile.

Then he said to the girl without a head: "It is not easy for the three of my brothers to practice, and please be merciful to the master's subordinates, so as not to hurt my life." ”

"For the sake of this bowl of somen noodles, abolish the cultivation and spare your life!"

The young man listened inexplicably, and was about to ask Lord Qi what was going on, but found that Lord Qi's face was flushed and sweating like rain, as if he was resisting great pain, Yue Ning'an closed his eyes tightly, his face was pale, and a trace of blood oozed from his mouth and nose.

Chen Shiyi was startled and stood up suddenly, and the bench was knocked to the ground with a "bang". The monkey jumped into his arms, clung to the boy's shirt, and did not let go.

The girl and the shopkeeper glanced at the boy with a little surprise, and the shopkeeper was even more puzzled, he saw this kid eating noodles with his own eyes, two big sea bowls, even the soup was drunk, and the bowl was still resting on the table, how could he still be alive.

At this time, these are trivial matters, and life and death matter.

The shopkeeper's face turned cold: "Is this non-negotiable?" The three of my brothers have been practicing for more than 500 years, more than 500 years, a long time! It's all the hard work! How could you Terran know how hard it was for me to wait! ”

"Keep it for them!"

Without seeing the girl's movements, a transparent ripple visible to the naked eye rippled out of the girl's body like a tide, spreading rapidly to all sides. The boy watched as the ripples passed through his body, and there was nothing unusual. The shopkeeper, the shopkeeper and the master in the back kitchen have changed, their bodies are full of black air, and under the lights, the shadows of the three people falling on the ground seem to be surrounded by a bunch of things of different shades, like the shadows of countless people are twisted and entangled together, and countless tentacles stick out from it, opening their teeth and dancing claws.

The chef was startled, opened his big mouth, the corners of his mouth were cracked to the base of his ears, and his blood-red tongue rolled towards the girl very quickly. But the girl in red grabbed her tongue and dragged her to her, and with a punch, she became a toad the size of a water tank, and with another punch, the toad was torn apart, and the splashed flesh and blood were instantly swallowed by the black shadow that permeated itself, turning into black ashes that disappeared in all directions.

The shopkeeper watched his brother turn into ashes, and his extreme fear made him extremely angry, and he jumped up: "Second brother, fight with her!" ”

I saw that the figures of the two of them quickly twisted and heightened, turning into two huge toads, their bodies were one foot long, and the entire inn lobby was almost filled, and Dou Da's eyes were fierce: "Stinky girl!" If you are willing to let go now, we will return to the mountains and no longer set foot in the secular world, otherwise, even if you die, we will bite you and break the net. ”

"Just by virtue of you, you are also qualified to tell Miss Ben that the fish is dead and the net is broken? Ahaha! ”

The girl seemed to have heard something very funny, and laughed happily.

The toad monster knew that he couldn't be good today, so he shouted angrily, and pounced on the girl with a fishy wind, and a huge shadow enveloped the entire inn.

The next moment, in Chen Shiyi's eyes, it seemed that everything had slowed down, just like in a dream. Somehow, the bodies of the two toad monsters slowly cracked apart silently, turning into pieces of flesh floating in the air, and then, just like the previous one, they were swallowed and dissipated by the black shadow.

Everything in the inn is the same, except that the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper and the chef in the back kitchen are missing.

At this time, the little monk was so frightened that he came to his senses, and he cried with a "wow": "I want to go back to the mountain, I don't want to go down the mountain, there are monsters under the mountain!" ”

"Shut up! Fight to death again! The girl said with a vicious expression.

The little monk choked with tears, opened his eyes wide, and was horrified to find that his senior sister was much more terrifying than the monster.

"You just stay here, don't run around, maybe there will be monsters outside. I'm going to get something to eat. ”

"Isn't there a bun?"

"Do you eat human meat buns?"

"What?!" The little monk looked shocked and suspicious: "You can also cook?!" ”

"You're itching, aren't you?"

After scaring the little monk, the girl stood up and walked to the back kitchen. When passing by Chen Shiyi, he curiously glanced at the young man with the mask and the monkey in his arms, and said, "This monkey is good." ”

The monkey swooped behind the boy's back and clutched the boy's clothes tighter.

The girl smiled a little smugly, her eyes like two crooked crescents.

"Your companion is poisoned, just go find some vinegar for them to drink."

The young man's heart became flustered, and he finally suppressed his pounding heartbeat and hurriedly agreed.

As soon as he found vinegar on the counter, before he could give it to Qi and Yue, he saw the girl in red return to the lobby and looked at him fixedly. It wasn't until the young man's heart was furious that the girl bit her lip and squeezed out two sentences like a mosquito: "The rivers and lakes are in emergency...... Do you know how to cook? ”

When Lord Qi and Yue Ning'an woke up, the sky was already bright.

The girl in red and the little monk had already left.

Chen Shiyi also made breakfast for them, which was still a bowl of beef noodles and a bowl of somen noodles. The noodles were thin, and the bowl of noodles for the girl was covered with beef and pickles, plus a fried egg, and spicy seeds. The girl's face was flushed from eating, and she gave a thumbs up.

I don't know why, the boy just believes in this little girl in red very much, and is willing to tell her his story.

When the girl heard this, she said that she had received two meals from him and wanted to repay him, and then beat him.

"Chen Shiyi, it turns out that you are still a cheap billet."

In the same way, King Wei also said, but why didn't the girl say it to make him like it.

Could it be that he is really a cheap billet.

Before leaving, the girl slashed him with a sword, and cut the boy out dozens of feet away, saying that it was a gift for the little monk to eat the plain noodles, but no matter how the young man looked, he felt that the girl deliberately wanted to see him laugh. I didn't see the girl take out the sword, but I only felt that there was an extra sword intent in my body.

What is the name of the girl and the little monk, and which mountain gate they belong to, Chen Shiyi didn't ask, and they didn't say.

It's very different, so forget about each other in the rivers and lakes, it's good.

The wind stops, the snow stops.

Only a lonely inn remained on the white earth, and the signboard on the flagpole waved gently.

When will I be able to be as free and independent as the girl in red?

The young man greeted the rising sun, looked at the words "Human Inn", and clenched his fists.
