Chapter 27: Giving Credit First
After the speed of entering the town slowed down, Senior Brother Liang threw away the burden on his body as soon as possible.
"If you have hands and feet, go by yourself, is it difficult to let Lao Tzu carry you for the rest of your life?"
Hou Yu has been accustomed to Liang Dahan's evil words, this big man is indeed a murderer, but he really didn't do anything to carry him all the way, he was as smooth as a sedan chair, and he enjoyed it very much.
Dignity is like this, after being trampled once, it doesn't matter if you come again?
The four of them walked all the way, and came to the only high place in this settlement place, a large soil slope, there is a big house on the slope, completely built of bluestone, old, only from the mottled weathering marks on the stone wall can be easily seen, and even there are traces of slashing and axe chisels on it, dark burning and forging, I don't know what has happened?
The fat man opened his mouth, "You are waiting for us here, there is a pond under the Tiger Hill, wash it yourself, don't defile the Sword Mansion!"
Don't try to run away, I've put magic powers on you, you can't run away! ”
Hou Yu still expressed his resistance with silence, and he could see that with the behavior of these people, I am afraid that they are too lazy to put any restrictions on him, but just to scare him; In such a place, where can the common people be loyal supporters of these people?
He doesn't want to run, he's going to take root here, and he's going to pack up these rammed goods sooner or later!
The four of them then departed, and did not know what to do, and left him here alone, and their hearts were very great; This is a kind of sadness for him, because of his insignificant strength, people can't even think of what harm he can cause?
After they left, Hou Yu entered the so-called Sword Mansion, complained in his heart, and gave him a tall name, not even a gate, just a big stone arch!
Like Tiger Hill, it's just a big dirt slope, which can really put gold on your face.
The third floor of the Sword Mansion is a hall, with dozens of zhang in length and width, and there is nothing, only countless sword marks on the stone wall of the inner wall;
There are a number of rooms on the second floor, which are also empty; A number of rooms on the third floor are empty; There will be no thieves in this place, except for big rocks, big stones!
Came out of the Sword Mansion, washed carefully in the pond under the Tiger Hill, and threw away the clothes by the way, stained with those sludge, this clothes can't be washed, and although he is not pampered, but he is the most annoying laundry in his life, this is a problem of concept.
As for what to wear, of course, it is a set of clothes in the Sword Mansion, the white scholar's uniform, which should be the white-faced scholar; The outer panel is neat, and the inside is clean - yo-yo......
There's nothing polite to be polite about, it's all come to this point, where did you get so poor and exquisite? If there are many lice, you will not bite, and if you have many debts, you will not worry.
The time was almost dusk, tossing from morning to night, the grain of rice did not enter, and I was really a little hungry; There was no fart in the sword mansion, and there was not a trace of fire, so it didn't take much effort to wander around under the tiger hill.
These people threatened him not to escape, but they didn't restrict his freedom, and it was nothing to turn around, right?
There are more buildings and dwellings under the dirt slope, and the smoke curls up, which is the time for meals; There are no streets, and the layout of the houses is very arbitrary, although he is not familiar with this place, but he can always find a place to fill his stomach by following the smell of food.
This is a large noodle shop, placed in the open air, with people coming and going; A big bowl of noodles, a large plate of meat, a large pot of wine, and even the oil and spicy seeds on the table are served in pots, which is very much his heart, and this is it.
Called all the food, a table full, it was not that he wasted, but his current realm is the gluttonous period, with Dan waste, it is too late to attract the spirit, to make up for the consumption of the body, you can only make up for the mortal diet.
While eating, I listened to the jokes of the diners around me, and occasionally asked the restaurant a few words, and the situation here gradually became clear.
The town is the right town of the river, the meaning is very simple, the right of the river; But the river has long since dried up, leaving only a vague riverbed, and crops have long been planted, which cannot be seen without careful observation, but the name has been used.
Jiangyou Town has a population of more than 100,000 people, which is no different from a small city in Anheguo, but only some of them have settled here, and more than half of them are scattered around the town; It is also quite in line with the folk customs here, and it is not wrong to say that they are herdsmen who farm the land.
What surprised him a little was that the so-called Sword Mansion on the dirt slope was the guardian saint here, in charge of the safety of a town, and it was more appropriate to call it the monk stationed in the Demon Gate; As for what other institutions and systems exist among the people, he doesn't bother to ask now, and it has nothing to do with him.
He came to break into the inside of the Demon Gate, not to be an official here.
The time is too short, and there is only one way to understand, and after a meal, call the store, "Checkout!" ”
The shopkeeper was busy, but he had a clear calculation in his heart, and he was not bad, "A total of one or two dollars of silver, you are the first customer, and you will erase the change, just one or two silver." ”
Hou Yu smiled slightly, and waved his big hand, "Remember the sword mansion account!" The end of the month is coming! ”
It's not that he cheats people, it's really something outside his body, and he has to be like this.
In the poplar forest, he lost all his luggage, those yellow and white things, clothing and food, and other travel necessities; In addition to the three Taoist books and talisman pills stored closely, these things were also cleaned by the big man surnamed Liang, and it can be seen that these people in the demon gate are very good at this.
Therefore, he has peace of mind and a clear conscience when he eats and hangs on other people's accounts.
The shopkeeper smiled, "The Sword Mansion doesn't have a general account, and they also have their own flowers, so which master are you hanging on?" ”
Hou Yu didn't hesitate, "Just hang it on the head of the bear beam." ”
The shopkeeper laughed, "Fourth Master Liang? Hehe, the title of the bear is also chic, but Liang Siye has not settled the bill for three months, how can this reputation ......"
Hou Yu was impatient, "There is always a good reputation, right?" Fat pigs, bamboo poles, nerds, whoever has a good reputation will hang on whom, you and they mention me to the master, they naturally know. ”
After speaking, regardless of whether the store agrees or not, he will leave, and the store behind him will not smile, "The guest officer is leaving, welcome to come again?" ”
Xiao Er poked his head out behind him, "Boss, isn't this person a white eater?" ”
The shopkeeper doesn't care, "It's just eating white food, but it's really from the Sword Mansion, are you still afraid that a few masters won't give money?" The longer they owe, the more generous they will be rewarded when they settle the settlement. ”
Hou Yu didn't do two endlessly, and he paid on credit once and on credit several times, and then turned to a ready-to-wear shop, picked up good materials and bought two outfits for himself, and went to the blacksmith shop to buy a waist knife and a bunch of snacks and jerky...... It's a pity that I didn't find a Xiuzhen workshop.
When he walked back to the Sword Mansion, the four people in the hall looked at him in a daze.
Liang Dahan asked directly, "Who is on the account?" ”
Hou Yu was casual, "Who is not hanging?" In our Anhe, Lao Tzu doesn't spend money to eat! That's a reward for his face! ”
