The old man turned around, walked into an alley with the two of them, walked for a stick of incense for a while, and took the two of them to a shop and stopped, saying: "This is it, Lao Rong's mutton patty, which can be called a must in the city." ”

At the door, the fragrance was already smelling. As soon as the two of them looked up, sure enough, there was a big black-background bronzing shop sign: "Lao Rong's mutton cake".

The old man said: "This old Rongjia mutton cake is the most famous shop in this Yangfu City. Lao Rong is the owner of this shop, this person was born to herd sheep for people, because of the number of sheep, sometimes he will steal and kill one, to relieve the taste of hunger, to the owner of the sheep said that the less sheep is taken away by the wolf. This man has herded sheep for 30 years and has stolen hundreds of sheep, so he knows at a glance which sheep has delicious meat and which sheep has sour meat. When he was thirty-five years old, he scraped together enough silver for ten taels of silver, and he bought a shop, and he didn't read any books, so he called himself by others and named the shop. Every day I went to the market, selected sheep to come back and slaughtered, never looked at the eyes, the mutton made was light in taste, the meat was fat, and I invited a master of the Yangshou clan to help him make good cakes, this business, it was a day by day, as long as the diners who had eaten, they had to turn back. Over time, it has become the most famous snack bar in Luyang City. ”

Yu Yin Qiao said: "Then I have to go in and eat." "When I went in, I called the second child in the store and asked for two mutton patties.

After a while, the second child in the store brought two bowls up. There was only one loaf in each bowl.

Yu Yin Qiao and Sun Zhaoyuan exclaimed: "What about mutton? Didn't the chef steal it? ”

The old man smiled: "Don't panic. Authentic mutton patty shops are like this, you need to pinch the pie to the size of a soybean by yourself, if you do it carefully, then the chef will know that you are an expert, and you will be more careful when firing. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "And this strange custom? When you go to the restaurant to eat a dish, you have to do it yourself. ”

The old man smiled: "The people of Yunxi Prefecture like pasta. The pasta is eaten quickly, and it can be served in a moment of incense. Break the bread by yourself, relatives and friends can catch up on the old days during the meal, and pull some homely food. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "That's the case. It's really better to read 10,000 books than to walk 10,000 miles. There are some things that are not recorded in the books. Fun and fun! ”

The two of them started to break the cakes, and the old man told some interesting stories about Luyang Mansion on the side. The two of them were fascinated by what they heard, and before they knew it, they finished breaking the cake in their hands and handed it to the shopkeeper.

In a short time, two bowls of mutton patties were served. Smelling the fragrance, the two of them immediately felt that their tongues were full of relish. Look at the soup is rich, the soup noodles float with a layer of bright mutton fat, a few large pieces of mutton are placed on top of the broken cake, one bite down, the fat is abnormal, and then eat the broken cake, suck the rich base soup, plus its own taste is strong, it is very aftertaste, and finally drink the soup, it is really fresh, slippery and delicious.

The two gurgled and gurgled, and it didn't take long for the two bowls of mutton patties to bottom. After eating, Sun Zhaoyuan asked the price and paid the silver, but he didn't feel that it was too expensive.

When I left the store, it was already night. The old man said, "Can the two guest officers still go to see the city wall of Luyang Mansion?" The old man can lead the way. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "The city wall is very good-looking, which city does not have a city." ”

The old man said: "The city wall of this Luyang Mansion is not ordinary. The rest of the city walls are all high, long, wide and narrow, and the city wall of Luyang Mansion is high and long, and the width is longer, plus glutinous rice is boiled and glued to the brick wall, so it is solid. If you are interested, you can go with the old man, and the old man can also talk about some siege knowledge. ”

After hearing this, Sun Zhaoyuan immediately became interested, and he was always curious about things he had never heard of, so he said, "Then please ask the old man to lead the way." ”

The old man took the two of them to the city wall of Luyang Mansion, and sure enough, the city wall was very wide, and the city wall was high, and there was a moat outside.

The old man told interesting legends about the city wall as he walked, and there were fewer and fewer people on the road. When I walked to Yongding Gate, I couldn't see a single figure.

The old man said: "I see that the two of you are also destined people, this Yongding Gate, there is a legend, if the names of the two are written on the eaves of the city gate, they will grow old together and be united forever." ”

When Sun Zhaoyuan heard this, he became interested. Behold the eaves of the gate, about a foot from the place where he stood, and if he climbed up the wall of the wall, he could feel it.

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "There are still such legends, is it accurate?" ”

The old man said: "Naturally, it is accurate, forever, forever, and I don't hide it from the little boy, my little son is in the eaves of this city gate, writing the names of his two husband and wife, and now more than 20 years have passed, and the relationship between husband and wife is deepening, which makes people envious." ”

Sun Zhaoyuan said: "Then I will also write it." ”

After saying that, he had to climb up to the side of the city wall, and he had to write Yu Yin Qiao and his name.

Yu Yinqiao grabbed Sun Zhaoyuan and said, "The city wall is very high, what if you accidentally fall down?" I don't want to be left without support for the rest of my life. ”

Sun Zhaoyuan listened to Yu Yinqiao's inner thoughts, and said with a smile: "I will be careful." ”

After saying that, he climbed up. He took out his pocket knife and concentrated on carving under the eaves. Unexpectedly, his leg was pushed out hard, and his body fell and fell out.

Sun Zhaoyuan immediately grabbed and kicked around, just grabbed the side wall and kicked the gap in the city wall.

That Yuyin Qiao hurriedly came and grabbed his hand, turned his head to look at the old man in horror, and said, "Why are you pushing him?" He turned around and desperately grabbed Sun Zhaoyuan, preventing him from falling off the city wall six or seven zhang high, and died in vain.

The old man said: "You don't have to be in a hurry, go back and send you on the road together, and when you arrive at the underworld, you will naturally be united forever and grow old together." ”

Saying that, he came to push Yu Yin Qiao, and he also pushed her off the city wall. Yu Yinqiao was shooting and grabbing indiscriminately, but he still pulled Sun Zhaoyuan and didn't dare to let go.

In the chaos, the old man's mask was torn off, which was a white-haired old man, who was originally a thin man about thirty years old.

The man was torn off his mask, as if his clothes had been ripped off, and he became angry, and said, "You see my appearance, and you must die." As he spoke, he pushed Yu Yin Qiao even harder.

Yu Yin Qiao said: "Who are you?" We have no grievances with you, so why do you want to kill us? ”

The man was already red-eyed, and saw that Yu Yinqiao's body was about to be pushed out of the city wall, and he already felt that the task was completed, so he said: "Naturally, you have offended people, and some people are angry, and if you find me, you will die by accident." ”

That Yu Yin Qiao and Sun Zhaoyuan died here.

Suddenly, there was a wow, and the thin man spat blood, and a knife flew out from behind and plunged straight into the man's back. The man's back wound reached his chest, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

With a few hands, Shengsheng pulled Yu Yinqiao and Sun Zhaoyuan back into the city wall.

The two looked at each other, surprised and delighted, it turned out to be the three Jin Fei brothers.
