Volume 1 The Knife Rises from Qingzhou Chapter 63 Sun Xiaohong's Death
Qingyu City is still just a small border city in the end, there are no famous rivers and mountains, the only thing that can be said is that it is close to the 100,000 mountains, but the cultivators are afraid of the legend that they rarely go deep into the dense forests on the periphery, let alone go to the 100,000 mountains to experience. Therefore, even if the ban in the five states is lifted, it will not have much impact on Sunny Rain City.
Tan Gang's four-person team will return to their respective sects after the regular year, and then the new cultivators will guard it, so in the last two days, the four of them gave up the habit of resting after the inspection, and tried to spend as much time together as possible, but there is a habit that has not been lost, they will still slowly wander to the Fulin Building after the inspection, and take a nap.
"Erdan, let's have a plate of beef, a few side dishes, and a full pot of wine, remember, the kind you want to hide in the cellar!" Zhou Hu didn't treat himself as an outsider more and more, and he didn't even know that there would be good wine in the cellar of Fulin Building.
As soon as Lin Erdan saw that it was these four people, he hurriedly stepped forward and whispered with a wry smile: "I said Master Hu, you know that there is good wine in the cellar, but don't shout it, if it spreads, the diners will ask for good wine, there are only a few jars in the cellar of our restaurant, and the proprietress must smoke my ear scraper if you want to know that I have sold it!"
Tan Gang has come more times, and he is not a stranger to this Lin Erdan, and he laughed when he heard this: "It's strange that your restaurant is strange, others are eager to sell the wine for silver and hide it, but you are still reluctant?" It's okay, you can sell it with confidence, if the seniors ask about it, the four of us will be scolded for you." ”
Since they had seen the skills of Hua Yun, the proprietress of this restaurant, in Jia Han's primary school, and knew that Hua Yun was a prefecture-level master, and even had a close relationship with the state lord, the four of them would try to get closer to the people in this restaurant intentionally or unintentionally. There is no way, go directly to Hua Yun to walk around, they don't think they have the guts, and ordinary people in the back kitchen can't get in, so the only thing to get closer to the relationship is this seemingly muddy but actually extremely shrewd shopkeeper.
"Look, aren't you joking, the four of you are the living bodhisattvas of our Qingyu City, and I heard that you will return to the sect after the New Year? The proprietress has already instructed that the four of them will not be charged for the wine and food in the past two days, and it can be regarded as our Fulin Lou chatting on behalf of the people of Qingyu City to express their gratitude, and several of the accounts on credit this month have also been exempted by the proprietress this month. ”
Lin Erdan happily finished speaking, and when he saw that the four of them were stunned, he shook his head slightly, and walked to the back kitchen with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Tan Gang and the four of them were a little ashamed and a little moved. It is a shame that the four of them intentionally or unintentionally ate and drank in this Fulin Building on credit, in fact, the purpose is probably to be able to mix in front of Hua Yun, if they can get one or two questions, then they will be a lot of boasting after returning to the sect, and they are people who can talk to the prefecture-level masters! She just silently wiped off a few people's credit and invited a few people to eat two meals of wine and food, isn't this a kind of support, isn't it an incentive?
"Let's not tell the people in the sect about our acquaintance with Senior Hua, lest some people laugh at it and don't say it, and they will use the prestige of Senior Hua to do that inappropriate thing. "Lan Ying has been suppressed by Hua Yun last time, and has seen the power of the ground-level master, and under the ups and downs of her mood, she has also entered the grade, and has become the yellow-level master second only to Tan Gang among the four, always thinking that she is blessed by Hua Yun, plus she is a daughter, her mind is naturally more delicate than the other three big bosses, and she has always said what she has always thought in her heart.
Tan Gang glanced at Lan Ying's face when he heard this, his black face turned red silently, and he responded: "What Sister Lan said is that although there are no prefecture-level masters in our sects, our own ability is called ability, and it is a great luck to be able to get acquainted with Hua seniors, so don't bother anymore." ”
Zhou Hu had no opinion on this, and even Xing Bujun, who had always been out of tune, nodded solemnly.
Several people deliberately suppressed their voices when they spoke, because the people around them didn't pay much attention to the content of the conversation between the four people, otherwise they would definitely be surprised, how could the proprietress who looked "delicate" in this Fulin Building be a senior master?
Of course, it is also this time of day, there are not too many diners in the restaurant, and thanks to some strange habits of people, it is different from watching juggling in the downtown area, but there is a little space in the restaurant will not be crowded together, but they have found a relatively quiet place to eat separately, and it seems that there are fewer people around them to be more comfortable.
But this kind of silence can't last long, just like the calm water in the pond will always be wrinkled by the wind, rippling layer by layer, and the sound will always make a sound, no, just when Tan Gang and the four of them were eating and talking, a loud cry rose from the ground.
"What are you talking about? Are you a black shop!?" Xiong Gang stared at him, as if he had heard something unbelievable, so that he, who had always regarded himself as steady, couldn't help but roar.
The larger the size, the louder the sound can be made, for example, the wind chimes on the eaves are compared with the bronze bells of the ancient temple, the sound of the wind chimes may be able to climb over the wall and cross the house, walk the streets and alleys, but with the sound of the bronze bell for several miles, it seems a little trivial compared to the mountains and mountains. It's not that things are unique, but most of the creatures are like this, for example, now this majestic voice roars so loudly that the windows of the restaurant squeak, and the timid people are so frightened that their hands loosen and their chopsticks crackle and fall to the ground.
Lin Erdan was dizzy and ringing by the black-faced fat man in front of him, who was a whole head taller than him, and his small eyes kept blinking, but he still forced himself to puff out his chest and said: "What, how, eat, it is natural to give money for eating, is it possible that you want to eat that white food with tall horses, broad shoulders and round waist?"
Xionggang, as a senior brother of the sect, although he rarely speaks on weekdays, attaches great importance to personal majesty, otherwise how can he convince many senior brothers? Now that he is called by Lin Erdan to his face, he wants to eat white food, how can he hang it on his face? For a while, he was also very angry, and couldn't help but laugh angrily and said: "I just went out outside the city gate to check whether the official road is open, and when I come back, you actually charge me a tael of silver! You tell me what the price is, why is it so expensive?" He pointed to a few plates and cage drawers in front of the two junior brothers.
The Fulin Building is not far from the outer city gate, and it is only a maximum of two teas back and forth, and Xionggang refers to a total of three plates and four cage drawers.
Lin Erdan was relieved when he saw that Xiong had just asked about the price of the dish, he was not afraid of the other party's reasoning, and the most afraid was to come up and beat him up regardless of the fat burst, it hurt so much! After sorting out his thoughts, Lin Erdan calmed down and hugged his arms to his chest, which was carved out of a mold like Huayun, only to hear him speak: "Thirty-five wen for leek carp, thirty wen for sauce big bones, and roast meat is difficult to find because small beasts are difficult to find in winter, so the price has risen to twenty-five wen, and the bun is ten wen a drawer." ”
Xionggang saw that the two junior disciples were silent, and knew that what the little two said was true, but this made him even more angry, his eyes swept over the dinner plate and cage, snorted coldly, and said: "Three plates of meat dishes are ninety Wen, and four drawers of buns are forty Wen, and the total is only one hundred and thirty Wen, why do you ask me for one or two pieces of silver? If you don't say that you are ugly today, Xiong will demolish your black shop!"
Lin Erdan couldn't help but feel a little weak when he saw that he was strong and aggressive, but he still said in an orderly manner: "You, you are not right, you have eaten a total of thirty plates of roast meat and twenty drawers of steamed buns!
Xionggang was furious: "Nonsense, if you really eat so much, where is the dinner plate?
"I can't fit so many plates and drawers on this table, I've already cleaned up in the back kitchen, but the number has already been told to the two who are sitting. Lin Erdan first rolled his eyes speechlessly, then patted the table with his hand, and said to the two fat men who were speechless in the seat: "You two are talking, you can't eat and wipe clean and don't admit it!"
Xionggang sneered, although these two junior brothers eat a lot of food, especially the little junior brother is the most, but not long ago they have already eaten twenty drawers of steamed buns in the city, how can they eat so many meals as the junior second in this shop said? Hmph, when the two junior brothers speak out, they will definitely make this junior second look good!
"Teacher, senior brother, after you just left, I was a little hungry with my junior brother, and I did eat more!"
"How much?" Somehow, Xiong Gang suddenly felt that it was not good.
Xiongying stretched out his fingers tremblingly and said, "No, it's not much, I just ate eleven plates of roast pork and six drawers of steamed buns..."
The body trembled, but fortunately, although it did eat more, but it was not as the second in the store said.
"I, I ate nineteen plates of roast pork and fourteen drawers of steamed buns..."The little fat man hung his head, not daring to look up at his senior brother, and then added: "Fish and sauce big bones, we saw that you came back late, senior brother, so we ate them separately... The roast meat is the best..."
A mouthful of old blood was about to spurt out, Xionggang was angry and helpless, he was really a good junior brother of his own family, he didn't leave even a bite of food for himself, and he was stunned for a while thinking about the next difficult journey.
The diners around heard it and liked to hear it, and couldn't help laughing, and then there was a joke after dinner, but they were also surprised by the reminder of the three fat people, especially the one big and one small, if it weren't for the small second-hand feet of the shop, I am afraid that the plate cage drawers would have been piled up.
Listening to everyone's laughter, Xiong Gang came back to his senses, took out a piece of broken silver, weighed it, threw it to the shopkeeper who looked at him out of the corner of his eye, and arched his hand and said: "I have offended a lot in the next place, please forgive the shopkeeper." In addition, it is troublesome for the store to put on two drawers of steamed buns and a plate of side dishes, so that you can eat your stomach. ”
When everyone heard this, they burst into laughter, and the three fat men who were straight down lowered their heads, as if they were embarrassed.
Lin Erdan weighed the weight of the crushed silver, put it in his arms, rolled his eyes and said, "Got it, wait!"
Lin Erdan's hands and feet were nimble, and the old man in the back kitchen was not far behind, so he asked Lin Erdan to bring the meal and put it in front of Xionggang. Xiong Gang was silent for a moment in the face of the small stir-fry of two drawers of steamed buns and meat and vegetables together, and finally sighed, this Pure Sect doesn't know when it will be able to stop lacking money and food like those first-class sects, so that the disciples can eat without worry.
At this time, someone beside him said, "Sunny Rain City Cultivator Patrol Team Tan Gang, Lan Ying, Zhou Hu, and Xing Bujun have seen three Daoists!"
Xionggang raised his head, and saw three men and one woman standing in front of him, four people in different costumes, and greeted the three of his junior brothers with fists, and hurriedly pulled the two junior brothers to stand up, and saluted: "The Jingmen Sect is Xionggang, Xiongying, and Xiongfeng return the courtesy, and I have seen four fellow Daoists!"
After the ceremony, the seven people on both sides relaxed, Tan Gang was older and more experienced, and said: "Jingmen Sect, but the Jingmen Sect outside Fengyin City has been admired for a long time!"
"Haha, I don't know what the three of my brothers have to say?" Xiong Gang wondered, generally rarely meet fellow Daoists, and even if they do, most of them don't know each other, so it's good to bow their heads and avoid them. This Tan Gang didn't know the three of his senior brothers, why did he take the initiative to talk, you must know that the three of you are just disciples of second-rate sects, not as famous as the disciples of those first-class forces, and there are people everywhere you pass to make friends.
Tan Gang and the four of them were naturally not bored to find someone to talk to, but when they saw that the three of them almost clashed with Fulin Lou, they consciously belonged to the same way, and they were familiar with Fulin Lou, so they came to remind one or two.
"I can't talk about it, just remind the three of us that it's okay if you eat well, but don't have a conflict with this store, this store is mysterious and unpredictable, remember to remember!" Tan Gang leaned his body against Xiong Gang and tried his best to keep his voice low.
Xiong Gang was confused for a while when he heard this, what store was mysterious, how could he not understand it? However, he felt that Tan Gang was kind reminder, and he still subconsciously said: "Thank you Brother Tan for reminding me, I will save myself in the next place, and I will not make trouble easily." ”
Tan Gang was relieved for a while, it seemed that the other party was an understanding person, and the kindness of the four of them was not in vain, and said: "Since this is the case, then the next four people will retire, if there is another chance, I will definitely drink with Brother Xiong and say goodbye!"
Although they were still confused, they also admired each other's heartiness and warmth, and the three of them also said: "It must be, please!"
So Tan Gang and the four of them said goodbye to the three people of the Pure Sect, and waved their hands to Lin Erdan, who was going to the back kitchen, from a distance, and then went to the door.
Three neighbors came to the door and met Tan Gang and the four of them, one of them said: "Tan Daxia, it turns out that you are here, go to the street to take a look, the cloth seller Grandma Sun and her granddaughter were stripped of their hearts in their own homes, and the way to die is terrible, I heard the people in the city garrison sent by the city lord say, I am afraid that the injury is not caused by ordinary people!"
Tan Gang frowned, and confirmed with this person: "Uncle Cai, are you talking about the grandmother Sun who often sells cloth at the corner of the street with eye disease, and her only granddaughter Sun Xiaohong?"
Uncle Cai's face was sad, and he said, "Isn't that one, ouch, pitiful!"
Tan Gang frowned, if it was really this Sun Xiaohong, then ......
He turned around and looked back, and really saw Lin Erdan standing on the spot, the dish in his hand slipped and fell to the ground with a "bang".
"Sister Xiaohong, dead?"
Lin Erdan's already small eyes were instantly flooded with tears, and his eyes were blurred.
