In the teahouse next door to the inn.

Thanks to the approaching Spring Festival, there is no farm work to do during this time, everyone is idle, this time is probably a rare time of the year to be willing to spend money, and the business of the teahouse is very good.

Some people sit and talk and laugh, some listen carefully, and some people can't sit down in the gambling hall and come here to play games.

When Song You and Sanhua Cat arrived, there was only the last table vacant, so they sat down and ordered a pot of ordinary tea, listening slowly, while the swallows landed on the beams of the house, and they didn't dare to come down because of the large number of people.

"The book continues on—

"The demons in the Northern Army have invited their immortal nether realm to summon a rolling flood! Oh, it's really like the sea, flooding the entire prairie! As mentioned earlier, the green ox under the seat of the immortal master has the ability to turn into a dragon and spit out fire, and it is not a problem to swim in the sea, but there are hundreds of thousands of troops in the Yuanzhi City behind him, and the soldiers in these armies are afraid of floods! ”

Hearing this, the Taoist couldn't help but bow his head.

The three-flowered cat on the bench next to him also raised its head and looked at him suspiciously.

The Taoist didn't say anything, just took her small exquisite blue and white porcelain bowl with half a bowl of tea, and lowered it to her mouth.

Sanhua frowned, and looked at him suspiciously.

But it's all handed over......

Let's take a sip.

So he lowered his head, and his pink and tender little tongue stretched out quickly, and as soon as he touched the tea, he retracted it, and then squinted and frowned.

The Taoist smiled with satisfaction.

"I saw the flood coming!

"Whoa! Thundered!

At the critical moment, I saw that immortal master pull out the Qingfeng Sword from behind his back, and with a loud snort, he swung forward!

"This sword! It's really upside down, and the mana is boundless! The sword qi rushed to the sky and cracked the earth, and I am afraid that the gods in the sky and the ghost kings in the ground also trembled! The flood like the sea was separated from the middle, and the fish fell to the ground and pumped! Hey, where did the fish come from! ”

The Taoist couldn't help but pick up the tea bowl and take a sip.

It has been two years since I left Changjing, and the tea method that is popular in the capital and Yangzhou area has not been passed on, here is still the traditional sencha to boil tea, with red dates and dried plums and some miscellaneous things, drinking the taste of red dates and dried fruits, slightly sweet and slightly sour, the miscellaneous taste is very heavy, the tea is not a good tea, the bitterness is heavy, and there is astringency, the taste is really not good.

But the people here seem to like it.

It's probably similar to the taste of life.

The three-flowered cat next to him was even more confused, standing on the bench, he couldn't help but stretch out a small paw to play with the bamboo cane that was lying diagonally beside the Taoist, as if he wanted to see what this had to do with the Qingfeng Sword.

Then he continued to look up and looked at the Taoist.

The look in his eyes is like a simple inquiry, and he always feels sarcastic.

The Taoist had to feed her another sip of tea.

Then the fairy pointed again!

"Said a word-

"The water recedes!

"Brush!

"And guess what?

"The overwhelming flood really receded!

"Hey!"

When the storyteller talked about the rise, he looked at the bounty all over the ground, and his face was full of red light, and he was shocked, and smiled:

"This thing can understand people!"

The customers in the hall listened attentively and hurriedly applauded.

Those who use the teahouse as a gambling house, although they focus on the work at hand, but they also listen with their ears pricked up, and they can hear it, and those who have won money are naturally generous, grabbing a few copper plates and throwing them on the stage.

But that's not all.

There were also a lot of people crowded outside the door.

Most of them are people who can't afford to pay for tea and tea, or people who don't want to pay for tea and tea, in the past, most of the teahouse shops have to say anything to drive away, or invite them to come in and pay the money, but these days the seats in the teahouse are full, there is no shortage of people who give money, and in the Spring Festival, it is really not good to catch people, so let them go.

Song You turned his head to look out while drinking tea.

The owner of the inn was also in the crowd outside.

Standing at the front was a young man, twelve or thirteen years old, with a dark face, tattered clothes, and a tired face, but a pair of eyes were exceptionally bright, staring at the storyteller without blinking.

I don't know how many people are as fascinated as him.

It's just that I don't know what they are fascinated by, whether they have the immortal mana like the Taoist in the book, or if they want to be on the scene themselves, so that they can witness this fairy story that originally only existed in ancient myths and legends, but now it really happened on the border of Yanzhou in the west this year.

"Those demons saw it, ouch, they were really scared and their galls were broken, when even a few rabbit demons and rat demons, wow, opened their mouths and spit out, and all they spit out was green wow wow water......

"What's wrong?

"The bile is out!

When the rest of the demons saw this, they turned around and ran!

"That's a real show! Some turn into birds and fly away, some become fish and swim away, some turn into a gust of black wind and fly away, and some turn into their original forms and run fast, all kinds of things!

But I saw that the immortal master turned his head and said:

"Please get them all back for me!

"I used the word please, but I called the tiger cub next to me! Don't you say it, in addition to accompanying the green cow that roams the world, the fairy master also brought a colorful tiger cub! ”

The three-flowered cat opened its eyes even more when it heard this, and its mouth opened slightly, revealing two small tiger teeth, with a shocked look.

Turning his head to look at the Taoist again.

The Taoist just smiled at her.

"This tiger cub also has a great background, I said it last time, I won't repeat it this time, just say that this tiger cub is also strong, seeing this, he whined, his body rose in the wind, rose to a few feet high, and then roared, it turned into a gust of wind and flew towards those demons, hey, that's really a mouthful......"

The three-flowered cat was shocked, and showed a little fascination.

The Taoist also continued to drink tea and continue to listen.

There is narcissism, and other people's boasting is what they want to hear, but it's not just narcissism, it's not just the story and the boasting and touting in other people's mouths, but also the things behind the story.

I can hear people's yearning for fairy stories.

Especially the real fairy stories.

It can also be heard that people prefer to hear that the gods ride cows instead of horses, and bring tigers instead of cats, as for the abilities of the gods and the horror of demons, the more exaggerated they are, the more refreshing they sound.

So layer by layer is exaggerated.

By the way, the more demons you kill, the better.

It's getting late.

"That's really Qingfeng's sword dividing the rivers and seas, and getting rid of demons between talking and laughing! After this battle, the demons in the Saibei army could no longer afford to stir up the big storms, and General Chen immediately led his troops out of the city and fought a decisive battle with Saibei!

"That's all for this afternoon, thank you for your support, and thank you for the tea money, little old man is grateful! If you think that the little old man has spoken well, you can come again in the evening, and then tell the story of the fairy master who went out of the city with the army, and then fought with the demons, the master killed a total of three thousand demons in Yanzhou, and so far it is only two thousand two, and there are eight hundred left, all in the later story! ”

There was a commotion from the crowd, and copper coins were thrown on the stage.

The small cities in the north are indeed not as rich as the south, and they are not as rich as Yidu and Changjing, and the prices are also low, but there are many people in the New Year, and people have spare money in hand, and they are willing to do it, and the story is really exciting, and the momentum is also extraordinary.

The Taoist called the store to count the money.

"A pot of tea is fifteen yuan, the seat of the listening book is eight yuan, two persimmons, five yuan yuan, a total of twenty-eight yuan."

It's not cheap, and there should be a Spring Festival premium.

However, the Taoist people's pockets are also very bulging at this time, and most of them are the hard-earned money earned by Sanhua Niangniang on the grassland in spring and summer, and after arriving in the army and Yuezhou, there has been no place to spend money, so it has been left until now.

So he took out the money from his bosom and counted it carefully.

The three-flowered cat craned its neck and stared at it.

The Taoist counted a total of thirty yuan.

"The extra two coppers, please give them to the old gentleman on the stage for me, and count them as tea money for the old gentleman to moisten his throat."

"Ouch! Thank you, sir! ”

"Let's go."

The Taoist said a word to the three-flowered cat, and then got up with a bamboo cane.

Sanhua Cat looked back at the storyteller who was bending down to pick up money on the stage, and although he was full of doubts, he also turned around and jumped off the bench and caught up with the Taoist.

The swallow also hurriedly flew out.

It just so happened that the innkeeper didn't leave either.

When the Taoist met him, he said to him, "Just ask the shopkeeper for directions." ”

"What is there you want to ask, sir?"

"In this Mozhu County, where is there a place to sell spices?"

"Spices?"

"Yes."

"If you say that you usually use two or three kinds of food, sometimes people will come to sell them on the street in the morning, and in normal times, there are also pharmacies, if you say more......" The store thought for a while, "We are a small place, in fact, there are not a few spices to sell, if the gentleman asks for more, most of them, hehe......"

Song You almost understood what he was trying to say.

However, at this moment, a young man next to him said, "I know where to sell spices, and they are very complete." ”

Song You turned his head to look.

It was the twelve or thirteen-year-old boy I had seen earlier.

Without waiting for Song You to speak, the innkeeper spoke first and scolded: "Where did you come from!" Less in this set! Don't pick on deceiving people, don't pick people when you are picky! ”

Then he smiled at Song You and said:

"Sir, don't pay attention to him, what does a child know, most of them want to deceive Mr. to lead the way, there are many people like this during the New Year, in order to cheat a few money, any means can be used!"

Song You also smiled at him.

However, the half-grown boy stared at Song You, his eyes shining: "I never lie to people, I usually help people lead the way at the gate of Beicheng, and if you talk about credibility, I can take you to the place first and then give money." ”

"Hey ......"

The shopkeeper grinned: "I've been in this city for many years, and I don't know where there are spices except for that pharmacy, and where do you know?" Let's talk about it first! I can't tell, I'm going to make you have a bad holiday! ”

"I said, when I usually have leisure, I help people lead the way at the gate of Beicheng, it's almost the New Year, and a group of spice sellers come to the city to sell, these days they have been setting up stalls in Dongcheng during the day, and now it's late, and they must have already closed the stall back." The height of the half-grown boy was up to Song You's chest, but he spoke old, "But I know where they live, as long as they have five cents, I will bring Mr. over." ”

"This ......"

The shopkeeper withdrew his gaze and looked at Song You.

It didn't seem like it was a lie, and he saw that Song You had the intention of going, so he told Song You: "If Mr. wants to go, remember, no matter what this kid says, he will also get the money, if this kid takes Mr. to some remote place, be careful!" ”

After saying that, he warned the boy not to play tricks.

Song You thanked the shopkeeper, and then smiled at the young man:

"Please lead the way!"

"Don't worry! What is said below is true! "The boy is really old when he speaks" reputation first, and it never harms people! ”

"I believe in what I have to do."

"Then come with me!"

The boy had taken the lead.
