When Shen Jin'an saw Huang Yuyao, it was when he came out of the teahouse, because it was already late, Shen Jin'an, who had drunk a stomach full of tea, felt empty after opening the gate and releasing water once.

The barge will not depart until noon tomorrow, so it is rare for Shen Jinan to wander around by himself, in fact, having said that, he came all the way to this Guan River estuary from Beiyan, which is thousands of miles away, and there really is not too much rest and lingering along the way.

Fortunately, I have free time today, so naturally I can't easily let go of this opportunity.

As for the transaction with the Tang Men and the Jiang family, it is always necessary to let the two of them go back and think about it slowly, after all, it is not a small deal, but Shen Jin'an is also confident, in his impression, although Tang Yunlong and Jiang Tianshui are not the talents of the king, they can also be regarded as the future snakes of Xishu, although there will be a little risk, but once the turnover is formed, it must be a prosperous financial resource.

The three of them talked for half an hour in the attic, and the content of the conversation was known only to the three of them.

Putting these trivial matters aside, Shen Jin'an came to a noodle stall and sat down, although the noodles of Xishu and the north are the same noodles, the production process is very different, Xishu is spicy, it is generally poured with soup, and only more spicy seeds are put in the soup to stimulate its taste buds. In the remote north, pork and mushrooms are generally stir-fried to make marinade, and then stirred into a paste-like noodle so that the marinade and noodles are perfectly blended together, exuding a rich fragrance.

"A bowl of noodles." Shen Jinan sat down leisurely and whispered to the little guy in the store.

Xiao Er was arguing with a little flower to prevaricate, and after hearing Shen Jin'an's words, he suddenly found a reason, and said to the little flower next to him: "Go, go, we're doing business, don't scare our guests." ”

Xiao Yukako also puffed up and said: "Hmph, you people look down on people, and I don't eat your noodles for nothing!" ”

No matter how Xiao Huazi persuaded him, the little guy didn't take it to heart at all, and just said to Shen Jin'an: "How many taels of noodles will this guest officer have?" ”

"How many taels?" Shen Jinan asked curiously.

The little guy saw that Shen Jinan was an outsider, his eyes rolled and he thought crookedly and said: "This guest officer, the noodles we have here are all weighed in two, and generally how much you eat, how much we give you." ”

Shen Jinan looked around, and found that there were not many customers, so he guessed in his heart that one of eight or nine is not far from ten, generally at this time, it is time for dinner, and it cannot be said that it is a market in front of each stall, but it should not be so rare.

It must be that this noodle restaurant can be weighed or taken less.

Shen Jin'an didn't care about a few pennies, he was also quiet, and hurriedly said: "Half a catty of noodles, and some supplementary food, you can just look at the arrangement yourself." ”

The little flower next to him saw that Shen Jin'an was about to be wronged, and hurriedly stopped: "Their noodles are so bad that they eat to death, if I have money, I won't eat here anymore." ”

Hearing Xiao's disrespectful words, the little guy on the side suddenly drove away: "Go, go, get out of the way." ”

Xiao Huazi not only did not leave, but came directly to Shen Jin'an's side, took out a black stone from his arms, and said to Shen Jin'an: "Hey, hey, do you want it." ”

Shen Jinan did not refuse, took the stone and looked at it carefully, sniffed at the stone again, and said thoughtfully: "How to sell it?" ”

In order to get angry, the little guy on the side immediately said: "This guest officer, this little man named Hanako has been wandering around with us every day for a while, holding a broken stone, and I don't know how many merchants have beaten it." This stone is said to be ink but cannot be sharpened, and it is said to be a stone but it is not rounded at all. ”

Shen Jin'an said to the little guy: "Three or two more small noodles, a fish, and give money together in a while." ”

Xiao Huazi's eyes lit up, and she sat directly next to Shen Jin'an and said, "You have vision!" ”

Shen Jin'an didn't accept the stone, but put the stone in the hand of Xiao Hanako again and said, "Put away your things." ”

"You don't want it?" Hanako said curiously.

Shen Jin'an leaned into the ear of the little Hanako and said, "If you want to, but I don't have that much money." ”

As soon as she heard that she had no money, she immediately put the stone in her arms again and said, "Then this meal is considered as you invite me, but I am not asked to invite you." ”

Shen Jinan just nodded slightly, but did not say anything.

After the two of them had a storm, the table was empty, and the noodle stall looked at the two of them with some surprise, knowing that even if they were short of catties, they could eat half a catty of noodles and a few pieces of cookcake beef in one go.

Xiaoxiaohuazi opened her mouth slightly, burped smoothly and said, "Comfortable!" Comfortable! It's been years since I've eaten so much. ”

Shen Jin'an smiled: "Drink some tea and ventilate." ”

Xiao Hanako was not polite, and raised a bright and carefree smile and said softly: "You guy looks pretty good, what's your name?" ”

"Shen Jin'an."

"Then you have to remember, my name is Huang Yuyao."

"Remembered, remembered."

After Shen Jin'an was full, he drank two sips of tea and threw a silver ingot on the table.

Seeing this, Huang Yuyao immediately put away the silver ingots and said softly, "Where can I use so much!" ”

Huang Yuyao casually took the silver ingot into her arms, fumbled for a while, took out a few copper coins from the soles of her shoes and said, "Don't look at me like that, this is the money I need to save my life." ”

Shen Jin'an smiled: "Drink tea and drink tea." ”

After the two of them had eaten and drunk enough, they were ready to leave, leaving only the little guy on the side to blow his beard and stare at him.

Shen Jin'an and Huang Yuyao came to the side of a fork in the road, and Shen Jin'an said softly: "Eat and drink, we should also separate." ”

Seeing Huang Yuyao's appearance of wanting to speak and stopping squirming, Shen Jinan said with a smile: "Then goodbye." ”

But when Shen Jinan didn't have time to speak, Huang Yuyao took the lead and said, "Wait a minute, I'll take you to a place in a while!" It's a reward for you inviting me to dinner, but let's say okay first, I just saw that you were a good person, so I decided to take you out, and no matter what you see for a while, you can't tell others, you know? ”

Shen Jin'an saw Huang Yuyao's heavy face and nodded, Huang Yuyao led the way in front of her head, and Shen Jin'an slowly followed behind.

The two of them came to a forest, which had belonged to the local government and had been developed, and the rest was filled with wooden signs that had not yet been opened.

The two of them jumped and walked on the uneven pavement made of bluestone slabs.

"You run slowly, be careful if you fall." Shen Jin'an couldn't help shouting nervously when he saw Huang Yuyao being so excited.

Huang Yuyao was like a daughter of the forest, very briskly past the weeds that began to rise wildly.

Dense with tall trees blocked the moonlight, and the path was disconnected in front of a "no entry" sign, next to a sign.

"The road ahead is more dangerous, look at the sign left by the government, and say that there are monsters that eat people." Shen Jin'an pretended to scare mysteriously.

Where would Huang Yuyao believe Shen Jin'an's nonsense, put on a grimace and said: "Slightly, I don't believe it, the government here only knows how to deceive people, the environment here is so good, where is it like a place where monsters often stay." ”

Sakura pointed to the trees next to her, and the branches of each tree were covered with all kinds of clay dolls, and these clay dolls were tied to their bodies with a lot of paper sticks, and they were densely written with some strange or various spells.

Some of the clay dolls are already dilapidated, and there are still many squirrels scurrying between the trees.

"I'm a little tired." Huang Yuyao was not picky, and lay down directly on a lawn.

"So are we there now?" Shen Jin'an asked softly.

"Wait a minute, Lao Hei shouldn't have woken up yet." Huang Yuyao said softly.

At the end of the forest was a short section of the Yangjiang River, and Huang Yuyao, who had rested for a while, stood on a slope and whistled continuously at the turbulent river.

After a while, there was still no movement on the surface of the water, and seeing that he had lost face, Huang Yuyao was also a little embarrassed and said: "Lao Hei, Lao Hei, if you don't come out again, I will be angry." ”

Just when Shen Jin'an was about to say something, suddenly the water surface was bubbling like boiling water.

The bright moonlight shines directly on the surface of the river, countless waves ripple under Huang Yuyao's feet, the sound of the water constantly makes the black tide into countless waves, the breeze blows all the trees in this forest, the emerald green trees form a green ocean, the layers of treetops are not more than waves, and a beautiful picture is perfectly cut along the river in front of Shen Jinan and Huang Yuyao.

The water waves made an instant noise, and a python about three zhang high appeared in front of Shen Jin'an, the python's whole body was black, and the core in its mouth kept making clicking sounds, what surprised Shen Jin'an the most was that the python's head horns already had two obvious protrusions.

Shen Jin'an once remembered that the "Strange Demon Magazine" in Yuan Gang's room recorded that the python was born in five hundred years, called the horned snake, the horned snake was good at walking and not good at flying, and it could be active in the three mountains and five mountains and five mountains and the four seas and eight wildernesses if it encountered a big opportunity in five hundred years. The dragon will have wings in 1,500 years, and it will be a dragon that can be a powerful opponent of immortals, swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and turning over rivers and seas.

If the beast becomes an immortal, it will suffer tribulation, the upper should be the catastrophe, the lower to the troubled times, the land of Xishu has had the legend of "walking corners" since ancient times, but this kind of behemoth that only exists in legends and stories, Shen Jin'an has never seen it.

Huang Yuyao saw Lao Hei appear, and the worry in her heart was a little less, and she hurriedly explained to Shen Jin'an: "I have no friends, I am an orphan, once I fell into the water here it was Lao Hei who saved me, Lao Hei is my first friend, and you are my second friend." Say hi to my friend, old man. ”

The three-foot tall python seemed to understand Huang Yuyao's words and bent his head down.

"Let's go, Lao Hei said that you should go to the river to play."

Huang Yuyao gently stroked the python with her hand, and then said to Shen Jin'an.

The python was large, one big and one small stood on top of his head, just like a flat boat, and Shen Jin'an estimated that four or five Great Khans standing on it would not be in the way.

Huang Yuyao lay on the top of the python's head, gently patted the top of the python's head and said, "Lao Hei, we have sat down, let's go!" ”

The python roared violently, only to see the layers of water waves, and the river suddenly seemed to have been split a channel.

The python twisted slightly and swam towards the river.

The breeze in the river was blowing slowly, Shen Jinan saw Huang Yuyao's face full of joy, very cute, he stood on top of the python's head, watching the vast river flow slowly under his feet, and couldn't help but have a kind of "Mighty like Feng Xuan resisting the wind, and I don't know where it stops; fluttering like a legacy and independent".
