Four days later, Qian Duoduo opened his eyes leisurely.

The first thing that caught her eye was the concerned faces of Qian Yuning and his wife.

"I ...... Still alive......"

"Good boy!" Qian Yuning grabbed Qian Duoduo's hand and cried silently, "God forbid, you have finally picked up a life, these days can frighten the uncle!" ”

"I... I had a dream......" The pale Qian Duoduo said weakly, his equally pale lips, and he smiled slightly, "I dreamed... I dreamed that Brother Su came back to save us......"

"It's not a dream!!" Qian Yuning wiped away her tears, but she sobbed even more, "Not long after you were killed by them for the second sword, Brother Su really rushed back!" Good boy, don't worry, the two people who killed and injured you have all died under the knife of your big brother Su, and the green valley will ...... in the future Don't dare to do it again!! Our Qian family is saved!! ”

"It's... Is it......" A line of tears slipped from the corners of Qian Duoduo's eyes, "I really... Did you answer......"

"Yes, yes!!" Qian Yuning lay on the edge of the bed and cried loudly.

"Su ...... Big brother ......" Qian Duoduo, who was extremely weak, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

At this time, Su Wangting had gone all the way north, almost to the middle of Maozhou.

He didn't wait for Qian Duoduo to wake up, and immediately resigned after hearing that Doctor Xue assured her that her life was safe.

I only left a note for Qian Duoduo, telling him to recuperate well, if you want to see yourself, you can go to the Phantom Smoke Pavilion to try, and you can meet it.

At this time, in Su Wangting's heart, he had almost regarded the Phantom Smoke Pavilion as a place where he could stay, and he had planned to wander the world after returning to Kyushu, but he actually had a sense of belonging.

It's just that the few friends he has are there.

What's more, there is also a Heavenly Machine Nine Chapter White Jade Tablet in Qingwen's hands. If one day I am lucky enough to be able to gather eight pieces, plus the one in the Phantom Smoke Pavilion, then I will have all nine chapters and be done.

At that time, it will be possible to solve many of the confusions in your mind.

At that point, it is possible... Again he saw the shadow that haunted him.

At that point, it may be possible...... It's empty.

And Su Wangting chose to continue to search for this possibility.

As long as there is the slightest possibility, he will not give up.

Even if it is empty in the end, even if nothing can be recovered in the end......

He was willing too!

After going through so much, especially after meeting those strange people, in fact, Su Wangting now has such a strange feeling in his heart.

That is the short-lived fate that I had back then, which was unattainable, and even ethereal.

There is even a hint of inexplicable blasphemy.

If it is blasphemy, it is sin.

If you have climbed high, it is a sin......

Then this difficult journey of pursuit should be atonement!

Even if the end result is a void, a catastrophe, or any kind of consequence, it can be regarded as an answer.

Otherwise, your empty heart will never be at peace!

Just as he was melancholy, a smell of stewed meat suddenly entered Su Wangting's nostrils.

It was a sudden hook on him who was hungry and thirsty, and there were drums in his belly.

Looking up, I saw a small wooden house next to the country road ahead, with a flag in front of the door, and a wine word written on it, and the smoke was leisurely escaping from a window on the side of the house.

"It's weird." Su Wangting reined in his horse and looked around, "There is no shop in front of the village here, there is not a single family in the barren mountains and wilderness for dozens of miles, and there is not a pedestrian on the road, who would open a shop in such a ghost place?" Can this be a business? ”

"Black shop?" Su Wangting could only think so.

"The black shop is good, as long as there is something to eat." Su Wangting grinned, shook the reins, and rode slowly towards the small shop.

At the door of the store, there was no courteous Xiao Er who came out to lead the horse, so Su Wangting had to tie the horse himself and walk into the store.

But there was not a single one.

I saw that the store was not large, only three small rough wooden tables were placed, and the tables and stools were full of dust; The interior of the house is dimly lit, and the wooden walls are also browned by the smoke, which shows that the store has not been open for a short time.

Su Wangting blew the dust on the table and stool, sat down randomly, and shouted at the top of his voice: "Shop!" ”

shouted out, but no one answered.

Just silently walked out of a rickety old man.

"Guest, what are you eating?" The old man took off the greasy rag on his shoulder and symbolically wiped the table in front of Su Wangting.

"Is there any good wine?"

The old man looked the visitor up and down with his cloudy eyes, and replied expressionlessly: "There is no good wine, only self-brewed village wine, which is a bit spicy, but it can be drunk against it." ”

Su Wangting smiled dumbly: "It's okay, take half a catty." You can smell the smell of meat from afar, and it doesn't matter what kind of meat you stew at home, just cut some of it, and if there are side dishes with wine, you can also have two of them. ”

The old man didn't say hello, and he didn't shout, but silently turned around and went into the back kitchen.

He didn't even pour a cup of tea for Su Wangting.

Looking at the rickety and staggering back, Su Wangting shook his head helplessly, pouted and shrugged his shoulders, and waited for the wine and food.

Sure enough, the speed at which the food was served was the same as the old man's stumbling steps.

Consistently slow.

The hungry Su Wangting waited for a stick of incense before a wooden plate filled with wine and food was brought over by a pair of trembling hands.

However, the old man simply put down the wooden plate and left.

Even the wine, food, bowls and chopsticks are not served to the guests.

"Cow!"

Su Wangting gave a thumbs up to the old man's back, and impatiently sifted a bowl of wine for himself and started to make it.

A piece of stewed meat was sent to his mouth, and Su Wangting devoured it.

"Fragrant!!"

Pick up the bowl and take a sip.

"Poof!!"

One squirt.

Not only is it unexpectedly spicy, but it also has a strange smell that is extremely difficult to drink.

But no matter how bad the wine is, it is still wine.

Su Wangting, who had been hungry for many days, would let it go, so he had to pinch his nose and pour it down.

"Hmmm! Although it tastes a little weird, this wine does have some strength!! ”

Su Wangting filled himself with another bowl.

Just as he was about to pour a second bowl, the old man came over with another pot of wine.

"Huh? Old man, I didn't tell you to add wine, why did you bring another pot? ”

The old man didn't answer, he just put down the wine jug by himself, and took away the jug of wine that Su Wangting had drunk half of.

"Good guy, why did you change the wine for me?"

The old man turned around slowly and replied in a hoarse voice: "Little Lao'er is old, and his memory is a little bad. There was a vat of wine that soaked a mouse to death a few days ago, and it was supposed to be poured out, but he forgot it for a while, and actually gave the guest officer a pot from the vat to bring it over, no wonder. ”

"I ......"

When Su Wangting heard this, he immediately rushed out of the store, knelt on the ground and slashed his throat with his fingers, vomiting wildly.

After vomiting up a lot of meat and vegetables, Su Wangting sat back again.

But the old man was still waiting at the table and did not leave.

Su Wangting smiled bitterly: "It's okay, don't worry, the old man is doing well." ”

"It's not." The old man shook his head, "Even if you vomit, that pot of wine has to be counted as money." ”

"......" Su Wangting was completely speechless.

Get.

It's always okay not to drink, right?

Uncle, I only eat meat!

Filling your stomach is the right thing, and when you enter the city, you can drink it hard.

Just after a bowl of meat and three big steamed buns were eaten, I saw two thin men who looked like they were stunned and walked into the store, looking at their sallow faces and dark circles, as if they had never slept in half their lives.

"Old Zhao Tou!!" A man slapped the dusty table and shouted.

To Su Wangting's surprise, the old man, who was originally staggering slowly, heard this person's call, and actually trotted over.

And the old face is also blooming, and the one that smiles is called a brilliant one.

It is a world of difference from Su Wangting's treatment.

"Two, is it still too peaceful on the field today?" The old man rubbed his hands together and laughed.

A man yawned, shook his hand and said, "Don't mention it, even if you catch three people, your hands will be chopped off." Hurry up, it's still the usual wine and food, hurry up, I'll send it to Chunniang. ”

"Well, the little old man has prepared it early in the morning."

After a while, I saw the old man bring two bamboo baskets with lids from the back kitchen, and still sneered: "Two, here are still Chun Niang's favorite lotus leaf lotus seed soup, ham stewed elbow, bad goose paw duck letter and five-spice sauce beef, dessert is prepared today is air-dried chestnuts and sugar steamed cheese, which are also Chun Niang's favorites." ”

The man raised his eyebrows: "Where's the wine?" ”

The old man clapped his hands and patted a bamboo basket again: "Naturally, there is no shortage of good Fenjiu!" Chun Niang had no choice but to take this bite, how dare the little old man forget. ”

The man nodded with satisfaction, lifted the bamboo basket and walked outside the store: "The old rule, the money is counted at the end of the month." ”

"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry...... the old man followed diligently and sent the two out.

Suddenly staged such a play in front of him, Su Wangting suddenly felt that the rotten stew and big steamed buns he had just eaten were not fragrant.

And the half pot of wine soaked in the dead rats.

"Bang!!"

The more Su Wangting thought about it, the more angry he became, and slammed his fist on the table.

"You old man, there are obviously good food and wine in the store, why don't you give it to me? A lot of your money!! ”

"This meal of the guest officer, three taels of silver." The old man stretched out his hand with a straight face and gave the order to evict the guest.

"Bang dang!"

A gold ingot, thrown onto the table.

So the old man's cloudy eyes immediately glowed.

"I can't find such a big gold ingot."

"Don't look for it."

"Don't look for it? Seriously?? Sneers filled the old face again.

But when the old man reached out to touch the gold ingot, a slender and white hand with five fingers held down the gold ingot.

"Guest, who are you?"

Su Wangting pointed at the old man and sneered, "Why don't you give me good wine and food?" Make this point clear, this gold, for you. If it doesn't make sense, I'll tear down your shop. ”

"You're demolishing my shop?" The old man's face was filled with a sneer, "I said that in the future, don't you see that my store is broken and small, and I am the only old man in the store, so I feel that it is easy to bully." You don't dare to demolish this store. ”

Su Wangting sighed, got up, and walked out of the store silently.

The old man only said that he had gone away with interest, smiled proudly, and picked up the gold ingot on the table.

But before the gold ingot was put into his arms, he only heard a "boom", and a wave of air knocked the old man to the ground, and sawdust flew in the store.

"Ahh

The old man hummed on the ground for a long time, got up and looked, and was stunned.

I saw a wooden wall in the store, and it was almost gone.

In its place was a big hole.

And Su Wangting stood lazily outside the cave, slowly dusting the sawdust on his legs.

"You!!"

Su Wangting said coldly: "If there is another threat, I will not only kick your wall, but also your people." ”

Hearing this, the old man's pupils shrank sharply, and he said in a trembling voice: "You... You kicked the wall of my shop to pieces with just one kick? ”

Su Wangting raised one leg and said with a wicked smile: "Why don't I kick it again so that you can see it clearly?" ”

"Oh no, but don't!!" The old man waved his hand again and again with a sad face, "I don't know that the guest officer is a master, and the little old man has no eyes!" Slack, slack!! ”

"Then you can always tell me at this time, why don't you give me good food and drink?"

"Hey!" The old man sighed heavily, and casually sat down on a dusty bench, "It's not that the little old man doesn't want to entertain guests, it's just that this shop doesn't entertain outsiders in the first place." The little old man is a guest official, and he must be hungry, so he made an exception to sell some wine and food with you. ”

Su Wangting raised his eyebrows when he heard this: "You obviously have a wine hanging at the door, but why don't you entertain outsiders?" ”
