Chapter 2: The Sea of Loneliness
Didn't wait for the sun to set.
Yang Ge followed the river and set out on the way back to the city.
The wide river channel under the sun reflected the brilliance of the jade belt, which made Yang Ge a little unable to open his eyes.
He looked at the winding river with no end in sight, and couldn't help but sigh: "It's really like a winding mountain road!" ”
What is it like to travel through the country?
Yang Ge felt that it was a bit like bankruptcy...
No!
It should be like a gambler at the end of his rope...... From a billionaire to a gambler who lost overnight!
In another world.
He has parents, sisters, and younger brothers who love him.
He has a girlfriend who has been running for six years, has a stable relationship, and is about to enter the palace of marriage.
He has a three-bedroom apartment in the provincial capital city that he left his hometown and returned to "receive" and "OK" for many years before earning it.
There's also a fun, righteous group of friends, and a big six-figure deposit......
And in this world, he has nothing but himself.
No relatives, no friends, no property.
Even the past experience has been zeroed out by time and space......
There is no better way to be lonely than in the sea of people.
……
Yang Ge hurried slowly, and finally returned to the Yuelai Inn just as the city gate was about to close.
As soon as he stepped into the front hall, Yang Ge noticed that the atmosphere in the inn was a little oppressive.
He raised his eyes and swept through the hall, and immediately saw that the seventeen or eighteen guests scattered around the hall were all powerful, and each of them carried a sword.
Yang Ge's heart was dark, although these days, he has not seen a martial arts practitioner with a sword and a sword enter the store to fight and live in the store.
But so many people who practice martial arts are pouring into the store at once, which is obviously not normal.
He withdrew his gaze as usual, and only used his spare eyes to secretly look at the guests.
Soon, his hanging heart slowly let go...... Standard oxtail knife, official family.
"Shopkeeper, I'm back."
While continuing to observe these guests who were holding official knives but not wearing official clothes, he casually greeted the shopkeeper Liu who was standing at the counter: "Where are the people in the store?" ”
Shopkeeper Liu was carrying a pen to write on the account book, but the sharp-eyed Yang Ge noticed that there was not a word on the account book.
"There's a lack of forage in the stable, so go quickly!"
Shopkeeper Liu also responded with a smile as usual, but there was a little irrepressible worry on his old face.
Yang Ge still wanted to communicate with the old man with his eyes, but Shopkeeper Liu had already lowered his head again to write the wordless heavenly book, so he had to respond and walk quickly to the backyard.
As soon as he passed through the courtyard gate, Yang Ge saw Wang Dali, whose cheeks were as swollen as steamed buns, standing at the door of the room with a tray full of food, trembling like chaff.
Looking at Yang Ge who came to the door, Wang Dali's eyes had the ecstasy of meeting a savior, but when he opened his mouth to say something, he swallowed back the words again, and just raised his chin in the direction of the stable, signaling him to hurry over.
Yang Ge looked at the tray of hard vegetables that were not cheap in Wang Dali's carrying, and pointed to the elegant seat on the second floor.
Wang Dali nodded dejectedly.
Yang Ge hesitated for two seconds, but walked over.
"Shop, where's the food? Come on up soon! ”
At the right time, a low angry cry mixed with a thick nasal voice suddenly resounded through the inn...... It's like the roar of a beast in the deep mountains and old forests.
Wang Dali, who was already shaking like chaff, was so shocked that his knees weakened, and if it weren't for Yang Ge's quick hand to hold on to the tray, he would have knocked over this tray of hard vegetables.
"That's it!"
Yang Ge reluctantly took the tray: "I'll come!" ”
This thing wasn't so timid originally, but it was hit by a big-eared scraper yesterday and took off on the spot......
"Little Brother ......"
Wang Dali let go of the tray, feeling relieved and guilty, and whispered: "The one above, I heard that it is the head of the horse on the other side of Hebei Province, killing people is the same as cutting vegetables!" ”
Yang Ge looked back at the front hall speechlessly, and whispered with relief: "It's okay, I'll go!" ”
After he finished, he turned around and walked back to the front hall with the tray, and walked up the stairs step by step under the worried gaze of Shopkeeper Liu.
Now is the time for meals, and at this time in the past, the second floor was already full and full of people.
Today, on the second floor, only Yang Ge's footsteps echoed.
As soon as he walked up to the second floor, Yang Ge saw a burly figure like a bull, sitting alone in the center of the second floor.
The man was wrapped in a tiger skin, with square ears and a beard, and now he was sitting in a chair with his eyes squinted and his hands on his lower abdomen, and a broad, long black sheath sword stood beside him......
One person, one knife, complement each other, domineering side leakage!
"Guest, your dish is here."
Yang Ge only glanced at it and then withdrew his gaze, slumped his shoulders and waist, and stood up with a tray with a smile on his face.
The bearded swordsman glanced up at him, and faintly spewed out a "hmm" from his nose.
Yang Ge's heart was slightly relieved, and he began to make vegetables with his hands and feet.
After Yang Gebu finished cooking, the bearded knife man sat up, grabbed his chopsticks and began to eat the food: "Pour wine!" ”
"Hey!"
Yang Ge agreed with a smile on his face, wiped his waist with both hands, and then grabbed the ten-pound wine jar on the table, carefully unsealed the mud, grabbed the wine jar with one hand, and took the wine bowl with the other hand to pour the wine.
The bearded knifeman gulped down the food, and the corner of his eye inadvertently swept over Yang Ge's right arm, which was as stable as iron casting, and his gaze was slightly empty.
"Smack!"
Yang Ge only felt a pain in his wrist, and his palm subconsciously grasped the wine jar.
He lowered his head and saw a pair of chopsticks gripping his wrist tightly.
He looked at the bearded swordsman for some reason, and said with a smile: "Guest officer, but where is the villain not attentive?" ”
The bearded swordsman squinted at him, and his eyes flowed with a dangerous aura: "Boy, which family?" ”
Yang Ge responded cautiously in confusion: "Return officer, the villain is the ...... of Yuelai Inn."
"Huh!"
The bearded swordsman sneered.
In the next second, the chopsticks spilled, and the big fan-like hand grabbed Yang Ge's wrist with lightning speed.
"Huh?"
The bearded swordsman stared in surprise.
Before Yang Ge could react, the bearded swordsman had already reached out his other hand, clasped Yang Ge's left wrist, and pinched it all the way up along his forearm with both hands with an afterimage.
In the end, he stood up and clasped Yang Ge's pipa bone with both hands across the square table.
Yang Ge looked at the reckless man in front of him with a question mark in his head, and he couldn't figure out what kind of plane this guy was doing with a fierce operation!
But he didn't want to be ashamed of the eyes of the bearded swordsman, so he stared bigger than him: "A hundred bones are like jade, a hundred veins are connected, and there is no martial arts wizard in the world!" ’
In a flash.
Countless distracting thoughts surged into the heart of the bearded swordsman, and the eyes that looked at Yang Ge gradually flashed with fierce light, and the hands that clasped his arms and pipa bones unconsciously used their strength.
Yang Ge saw the fierce light in his eyes and felt the pain in his shoulders, but the little panic and panic in his heart slowly calmed down.
"Guest officer, the food is going to be cold!"
He lowered his eyelids and whispered with a chuckle.
The bearded swordsman was stunned, and slowly let go of Yang Ge's arms as if he had just woken up from a dream.
He stared at Yang Ge intently for half a minute, then slammed back into the chair, picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, and laughed wildly: "Boy, remember to go to the City God Temple to burn a few more incense sticks when you go back!" ”
The sound of low, powerful laughter shook the eaves.
Yang Ge lifted the wine jar and filled it for him, and asked with low eyebrows, "What did the guest officer say about this?" ”
The bearded swordsman bowed his head and drank: "Naturally, it is Xie Chenghuang's blessing, so that Lao Tzu wants to be a good person before he sees you, and if you put it in the past, Lao Tzu will definitely dig out your heart and liver to drink!" ”
Yang Ge thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "That villain should thank the guest officer!" ”
"Oh?"
The bearded swordsman glanced at him with a smile: "Thank you Laozi for sparing your life?" ”
Yang Ge lifted the wine jar, filled him with a bowl of wine again, and said seriously: "It's the guest officer who wants to be a good person!" ”
The bearded swordsman was stunned, and laughed again: "Well said, well said...... Reward, reward! ”
He was obviously laughing, but there was a bit of sadness in the laughter.
He grabbed the burden tied to the long knife, took out a thick stack of thread-bound books, grabbed one without looking at it, and smashed it at Yang Ge.
Yang Ge subconsciously took the book, and when he came back to his senses, he was about to return it to the bearded knifeman, when he heard the bearded knifeman shouting angrily: "Roll the calf, dare to appear in front of Lao Tzu's eyes again, Lao Tzu will eat you raw!" ”
Yang Ge hesitated for a few seconds while holding the book, but finally did not dare to disturb the beast that had just emerged from the old forest.
……
"Shopkeeper, this is the reward given by the guest officer above, look at ......"
Yang Ge held the book given by the bearded knife guest and came to the shopkeeper Liu.
"Take it away, get away!"
Before he finished speaking, Shopkeeper Liu was already like seeing a ghost, and while retreating, he pushed the book into Yang Ge's arms: "My old Liu family is a single heirloom for three generations, little brother, you don't hurt me, hurry up and play this broken house...... Treasures, put them away! ”
Yangge: ......
He turned his head helplessly, holding the book in both hands and looking at the family members of the officials sitting in the hall: "Officials, ......"
Seeing this, all the officials and family members also turned their faces away, looking at the sky and the earth...... I just can't see what Yang Ge has in his hand.
One of them was still holding a wine glass, pretending to look at the ceiling and muttering to himself: "The things of 'Mourning Star' Jiang Kui are not something that anyone can take!" ”
The words fell, and there was another burst of schadenfreude laughter from the second floor.
