In the blink of an eye, a few days passed, red lanterns began to hang up on the streets, and many New Year's goods began to be sold in the market, and the smell of the New Year became stronger and stronger.

In the past few days, people have been busy preparing for the New Year, and they don't even look at the hexagram stalls when they pass by. Qiu Zizai, who was really idle, went to the banyan tree, and the little girl Bai Qiu was still waiting for her parents under the tree.

Qiu Zizai took out a bowl of wontons, and told the little girl who was blind to hold her hands steady before she dared to let go.

The little girl ate slowly, two bites of a ravioli.

It's not that the wontons are big, the main thing is that they are too hot, and the little girl's mouth is also small and she eats slowly.

Qiu Zizi watched the little girl eating wontons, but he remembered two people in his mind.

White Lonely.

Old beggar.

Both of them are a virtuous person, and when they eat, they are like starving ghosts reincarnated, gobbling up, and never chewing without stuffing three or four dumplings in their mouths, is really ......

The main thing is that the amount of food is more exaggerated than the other!

Qiu Zizi tugged at the corners of his mouth, secretly slandering in his heart.

These two guys just eat like this, and if they live longer, they will have to eat up the world.

Qiu Zizai just had another thought floating in his heart, and before he could think about it, an old voice sounded in his ears: "I haven't seen you for a long time, you've grown so big." ”

Qiu Zizai hurriedly turned his head to see that there was Old Wu and an old man in a purple robe standing behind him.

What he said just now was what the old man in the purple robe said.

Qiu Zizai was so frightened by the two of them that he wanted to get up but tripped over the roots of a tree, fell into the snow, and fell into the mud. He hurriedly pulled his head out of the snow, then got up and said, "I've seen Old Wu, I've seen Old Sage." ”

Wu Lao just smiled slightly and didn't speak.

The purple-robed old man nodded, his lips did not move, but his voice sounded in Qiu Zizai's heart: "There are some ordinary things that you can't think about, and some whimsical ideas, it's best not to have them, so as not to get into trouble in the future." ”

Qiu Zizai smiled awkwardly, his mind tightened, and he put away the little Jiujiu in his heart.

Then Qiu Zizai replied to the words of the purple-robed old man just now, "The last time I saw the old sage, Xiaodao was only eight years old. After many years, the old sage's demeanor is still the same. ”

The purple-robed old man smiled and said, "How did you become so restrained, this is not like your nature." What's the matter, it's changed? ”

Qiu Zizi looked embarrassed.

Wu Lao told the purple-robed old man in his heart that a few days ago, Qiu Zizai's big tongue offended the owner of the Nine Pavilions and was sealed with something. The latter suddenly realized, and then found the almost invisible water mark at the center of Qiu Zizai's eyebrows, and exclaimed: "What a profound method, if you don't say it, even the old man can't find it." ”

Qiu Zizi became more and more embarrassed.

The purple-robed old man looked at the water mark, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt profound, "It is worthy of being an ancient relic, and his shot is extraordinary, and he is a wonderful person." ”

Wu Lao held back a smile, "Indeed, it's wonderful." ”

Qiu Zizai was a little disappointed when he saw that the purple-robed old man didn't mean to help remove the water marks, but he couldn't say anything, so he had to continue to shut up.

The purple-robed old man knew what Qiu Zizai was thinking, and said with a smile: "It's not a bad thing for young people to be tempered more, you should cherish it." As the old saying goes, suffering is a blessing, not empty talk. ”

Qiu Zizi tried to pull out a smile, "What the old sage said is extremely true, and the Tao is taught. ”

"Of course, what the old sage said is a golden rule, where can you compare?" The man in the green shirt suddenly appeared, mocked Qiu Zizi without hesitation, and said to Wu Lao and the others: "I have seen Wu Lao, I have seen the old sage." ”

Wu Lao nodded.

Qiu Zizai looked like he had seen a ghost, and hurriedly took a few steps back, hiding behind Wu Lao.

The purple-robed old man glanced up and down at the man in the green shirt, and finally stopped his gaze on the small gourd on his waist, and said with a smile: "The breath is dormant like a sleeping dragon, and the treasure eyes are obvious and threatening, and the future can be expected." ”

Surprise appeared on the face of the man in the green shirt, and he hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Thank you for the good words of the old sage." ”

Wu Lao and Qiu Zizai had different degrees of stunned on their faces.

It would be okay if others said so, but this person is an old man in a purple robe! He is known as a sage who is known as a man of his word! The words that came out of his mouth were never missed, and they were all fulfilled.

Now that the old man in the purple robe has spoken out, can he still be fake?

But if that's the case, it's too scary.

The future is promising, and the weight of this auspicious word is too heavy.

The purple-robed old man waved his hand, "Luck and creation are all obtained by you through hard work, and the old man is just taking advantage of the situation and saying good things." ”

The man in the green shirt smiled and said, "The old sage has a thousand words, I will never forget it." The small restaurant has launched a new wine-stuffed rice ball, I wonder if Wu Lao and the old sage can appreciate the face and give some suggestions? ”

Elder Wu and the old man in the purple robe glanced at each other, nodded and said, "It's just a little tasteless in your mouth, taste it?" ”

"Why not?"

Qiu Zizai whispered behind Wu Lao's back, "Xiaodao, can you follow along and taste the taste?" ”

Seeing the gaze of the man in the green shirt, Qiu Zizai hurriedly said: "Xiaodao spends his own money to buy one and taste it!" ”

The man in the green shirt withdrew his gaze and said nothing.

Qiu Zizai scratched his head and said apologetically: "Wait for a while, Xiaodao will wait for the little girl's bowl of wontons to finish before leaving......"

Qiu Zizai's voice became smaller and quieter, because the fierce gaze of the man in the green shirt had been cast again.

"This little girl is designated by Xiaobai Gu to be taken care of by Xiaodao! Xiaodao just came to bring food to the little girl! Qiu Zizai hurriedly explained.

Hearing that it was Bai Gu's designation, the man in the green shirt retracted his gaze again, no longer embarrassed Qiu Ziyi.

Qiu Zizi breathed a sigh of relief.

The purple-robed old man glanced at Bai Qiu, the little girl who was seriously eating wontons, and couldn't help but be surprised: "People from Fuhe City? How did it get here? ”

Qiu Zizai explained: "It seems that the little girl's parents left her here, and then she stayed here and waited for her parents to pick her up, refusing to leave half a step. ”

"I see." The purple-robed old man looked at the little girl, as if he knew something, and there was some pity in his eyes, "What a hard-working child." ”

The man in the green shirt stepped forward and pressed his fingers together on Qiu Zizai's chest, and the latter's body immediately rippled. The man in the green shirt turned his fingers into his palms and patted Qiu Zizai lightly on his chest, and he actually shot another Qiu Zizai!

This "Qiu Zizai" is exactly the same as the original Qiu Zizai's appearance and temperament, and ordinary people can't distinguish the real from the fake at all.

The purple-robed old man nodded lightly, "Water Moon Mirror Flower, it's hard to distinguish between real and fake." What a doppelganger spell! ”

"The old sage has won the prize." The man in the green shirt smiled and walked back to where he was.

"Qiu Zizai" walked back to the little girl, talked and laughed with her, and regarded Wu Lao and the others as air.

From the moment Wu Lao appeared, the soundproof barrier was opened, so the little girl didn't know the arrival of Wu Lao and the others, and she couldn't hear the conversation just now.

In the next moment, the four of them came to a private room in the Nine Pavilions.

The man in the green shirt brushed over the table with one hand, and three bowls of wine-stuffed rice balls appeared in front of several people.

There are a few round rice balls floating in the lotus-colored soup, a few pieces of osmanthus are dotted on it sporadically, the small porcelain bowl is like an orchid, and the wisps of heat slowly waft out from the rice balls.

The man in green shirt smiled and said: "This is a new product of the small restaurant, osmanthus mead wine stuffed rice balls, please give me a lot of advice." ”

The purple-robed old man glanced at it, "It's not good for you to do this, right?" ”

As he spoke, the purple-robed old man's gaze deliberately stayed on the bowl in front of Qiu Zizai.

The man in the green shirt did not change his face, "worthy of the name." ”

Hearing this, the purple-robed old man couldn't say anything, so he beckoned Wu Lao to taste it together.

Qiu Zizai's face was full of doubts, he didn't know what the old man in purple robe and the man in green shirt were talking about, but he also picked up a spoon and scooped up a rice ball and put it in his mouth.

But as soon as he bit the rice balls in his mouth, Qiu Zizai's face changed suddenly.

Because the inside of the rice balls is empty, it is all piping hot soup!

Qiu Zizai was so scalded that he grinned, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously, so he had to endure it silently and suffer this dumb loss.

Who told him that he would come with him?

The man in the green shirt smiled maliciously, "Daoist Qiu, thank you for inviting a tael of silver, remember to go downstairs to settle the bill later." ”

Qiu Zizi agreed with a bitter face.

It's really your own money to find guilt!
