The teahouse is not a particularly tall place, it is a place where some idlers in the county town gather.

Before noon, few people drink alcohol, but you can get up in the morning to drink tea.

This teahouse is also a place for people in the county to find helpers in an emergency, and they can find a few helpers when they come here.

So it's not an exaggeration to say that there are a mix of dragons and snakes, but this is the place with the most news.

In the morning, go to the teahouse and order a bowl of hot tea, a plate of fennel beans, and a pastry if you have the money, or a pickle rice that is so cheap that it costs only a penny.

There are those who listen here, those who wait to live, and those who listen to the story.

The teahouse welcomes guests from all over the world, even if it is a sloppy old man, he is also sent a bowl of hot tea by the shopkeeper of the teahouse.

"Master Dao, you are old, don't squeeze in, they are all rough people who come to wait for work, it's not good to squeeze you out!

You're here, listening to what you want, watching what you want.

Tell me whatever you want to eat, don't want money.

Although our store is not rich, it is still possible to take care of your old meal! ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse didn't know if he was naturally enthusiastic or would do business, anyway, what people said was very good, and he did it very well.

Lao Dao smiled slightly and said: "The shopkeeper is merciful, if you do this kind of business, won't you lose your family?" ”

The teahouse shopkeeper smiled: "It's not true, it's just that when I was young, I was playing by the river, but I met a water ghost looking for a substitute, and led a strip of aquatic grass to entangle my feet and wanted to drown me."

It was a Taoist master who stepped on a log and floated into the river and lifted me out of the water.

Therefore, when I made this teahouse, I said that if a Taoist master came to my store to rest, he would take care of the bowl of tea and the rice.

A tea meal doesn't cost much, and it doesn't make me poor. ”

The shopkeeper of the teahouse said very sincerely, Lao Dao smiled and nodded.

"In that case, let's give Lao Dao a pickle rice!"

The shopkeeper of the teahouse responded with a smile: "Okay, you keep waiting, the pickle rice will arrive in a while!" ”

Pickles are a kind of kohlrabi that is salted well and dried in the sun.

To be honest, pickles are quite expensive due to the price of salt!

Therefore, the teahouse shopkeeper lying on the bowl of rice with pickle slices two fingers wide and two inches long is definitely worth the price of a bowl of a penny.

It is a favorite meal of the hard-working people in the county, although rice is the worst double-steamed brown rice, the price is also the cheapest.

Especially the finger-thick pickles, which makes the bitter people who are willing to spend a penny to eat a bowl of pickle rice in the teahouse feel very worthwhile.

The sloppy old man also thinks that the pickles are very delicious, and he nibbles them little by little with chopsticks.

What is surprising is that he looks like he is seventy or eighty years old, and his teeth are still intact, and he gnaws the pickles to a creak.

Lao Dao ate very slowly, slow enough for him to listen to the chaotic news in the teahouse, and analyze it to be useful to him.

"Everyone, you all remember the disappearance of eight children in the county a few days ago!

It turned out that these children were actually turned into sheep by the art of animal husbandry and transported out of the city.

And the one who used the art of animal creation to steal children actually wanted to give them to the monsters to eat, which is simply appalling! ”

A man who was clearly not over thirty said:

This is inside information, and it was said by the friend of the son's son of the third uncle's family who married the sister-in-law who said this in the county office.

I heard that the thief did not show his feet.

Do you know how these thieves were discovered and apprehended in the end? ”

The eyes of the people around him who were curious made this person proud:

"These thieves have thaumaturgy, but they don't use it in the right way, they actually turn adults into dogs and sell them to butchers, and children into sheep, and transport them out of the city to be eaten by youkai.

In exchange for the return of the youkai, it is said that you can get a lot of gold and silver treasures, which are inexhaustible!

These thieves have done this before, but no one has ever been discovered, and no one has ever had the ability to catch them.

Therefore, they have always been unscrupulous, even when they came to our county, and the same is true.

A few days ago, they had just made a deal and had eight children gone.

Coincidentally, when they dragged the sheep turned into children out of the city, they happened to bump into the new head of our yamen. ”

Someone next to him suddenly realized: "It must be our new left deputy who noticed it, and then took down the thief in one fell swoop, yes or no?" ”

Who knows, the man who said this shook his head proudly: "I knew that you would definitely not be able to guess."

Everyone should know that Zuo Yun, the new deputy head of the county government, has a beautiful daughter-in-law, and the woman has both parents who died when she was a child, and she married her younger brother together.

I heard that when the thief went out of the city, he happened to bump into the head of the left deputy capital and moved into the city, and the thief fell in love with the little wife and brother-in-law of the left deputy capital at a glance.

It should be the wife-in-law of the head of the left deputy who looks very clever, and he should be very aura, so he caught him and gave it to the monster, and the monster should be more satisfied.

Therefore, the thieves put the first few children in a village outside the city, and returned to the city in the evening to kidnap the wife and uncle of the left deputy capital.

But he didn't think about it, the left deputy head martial arts were very vigilant, and he got up in the middle of the night when he heard the sound, and when he saw these thieves, he immediately shouted: [Bah! What a rat! 】

With just one sentence, the frightened thieves fled in a hurry, and the officers and soldiers saw that someone dared to provoke their new deputy capital, so they chased and intercepted them all night.

Finally, in the remote area west of the city, these people were captured!

I heard that when these people were caught, some of them turned into eagles, some became dogs, some became pigs, and some became sheep, and they all wanted to escape the pursuit!

It was too late, but it was too fast, and the first few arrows were shot from the left vice, and all these eagles, dogs, pigs and sheep were nailed to the ground! ”

As soon as this sentence came out, some people immediately questioned: "Come here again to show off, what a miraculous power you can become an eagle, a dog, a pig and a sheep!"

How could a person with such magical powers do such a thing as stealing a child and so on! ”

Originally, when the man saw someone questioning him, his face turned red: "The inside information I got can not be fake!"

Wait!

The county magistrate sentenced these people to behead, and a document has been issued to the state capital, and the county town does not have the right to execute prisoners, and the prisoners will definitely be escorted to the state capital to be beheaded at that time.

When the time comes, there will be a notice from the county office, and in a few days, it will be able to prove that what I said is true! ”

Lao Dao listened to this, slowly ate the rice and pickles in his bowl, and then quietly walked away.

Lao Dao looked at the county office from a distance and muttered: "The official family is very angry, it seems that it is impossible to break in."

You have to think of a way! ”

Then, he dodged into a dark alley, and when he came out, his robe was gone, and he was wearing the clothes of an ordinary old man.

Seventy or eighty in appearance, dressed in ordinary people's clothes, carrying a crutch, walking on the street with a little difficulty.

Coming was Chen Yun, who had just gotten off work.

I have to say that Chen Yun has been a little ashamed to go to work recently, and he has nothing to do when he goes to the county office, and his current duty is to practice knives in the open space in front of the prison behind the county office.

Recently, the spatula has been practiced to the beginning, and it is very fast when you have experience.

Because of the progress of his martial arts, he even walked much briskerly, but immediately saw an old man fall in front of him.

Then he immediately subconsciously looked back and forth to see if there was monitoring, and finally realized that there was no monitoring in this world.

But there is no monitoring, is it to help or not to help?

Looking at the old man who collapsed to the ground, should have fallen and injured, and was humming in pain, it looks like he must be eighty, and he can't help it!

So he stepped forward and quickly helped the old man up: "Old man, what's wrong with you, are you injured?" ”

The old man felt that someone was helping him, so he grabbed his hand, stretched out his shoulder and neck with one hand and hugged him, and after holding himself to stand firm, he was very grateful: "Young man, if it weren't for you, I'm afraid that the old man wouldn't be able to get up from the ground, thank you!" ”

Chen Yun waved his hand: "Thank you!" It should be, it should be!

Can you still walk? ”

The old man retracted his hand, walked two steps tremblingly, and then turned back to Chen Yun and said:

"It's not that tight, just slide down and stand up!

Able to walk, able to walk!

I won't bother you, yo, I'm still an official!

I won't delay you, I'll go back first, old man! ”

After saying that, he walked away on crutches!
