"Did you say we're safe now?" Lingyun looked around, the tavern was now full of people eating.
The tavern was located in a flat part of the hill, and at first the three of them had been on the road, and had not eaten a decent meal for three or four days. After walking through the vast forest of bushes, the trio finally found a pipe and soon came to the tavern.
Yi Feng and the three of them chose an inconspicuous remote corner, enjoying the food that was not delicious, while observing the surroundings.
In the corner not far from them, there was also a man, dressed in a black robe tightly wrapped around his thin body, and a pale red quaint walking stick was placed next to the table.
He ate in silence, slowly, and with great earnestness, as if the ordinary food of this tavern was the most delicious in the world.
Soon the two women slowly walked into the tavern, and while the two were talking and laughing, they secretly looked at everyone, and when they glanced at the three of them, the eyes of the woman in red revealed a faint surprise. It's just that when he skimmed the man in black next to him, he became a little jealous. The two of them originally planned to sit in the vacant seats at the table of the three of Qingyun, but after seeing the man in black, they came to a table by the window and sat down without a trace. Xiao Er of the tavern hurriedly walked towards the two, smiling all over his face, and after the two women made a simple point, Xiao Er happily retreated.
"What do you see the man in black over there?" Lingyun whispered.
Hearing this, the two looked at the man in black, who was gulping down the tavern wine, perhaps too fast, and the wine actually wet the black robe of the man in black. As if he didn't feel it, the man in black still enjoyed the wine in his mouth. Gradually, the wine table of the man in black was full of large and small wine jars, and the man in black gradually became a little drunk. He slowly stood up, hunched over and picked up the crutches next to the table, and it was only at this time that the three of Qingyun realized that under the black clothes was an old man whose face was full of vicissitudes, but his eyes were like the starry sky in the sky, deep and mysterious. The resolute face is carved with numerous wrinkles, and the relentlessness of time is appealed on the otherwise broad forehead.
Just as the old man slowly got up, Xiao Er of the tavern quickly walked up to the old man and said with a smile: "The guest officer has finished eating?"
"Well, I'm done. The old man said with a strong smell of wine.
"Is the guest officer satisfied with the food and drinks in the shop?" Xiao Er continued.
"Not bad. The old man replied unhurriedly.
"Then the guest officer, is he settling the account?" Xiao Er said as he looked at the old man.
"Checkout?" The old man was slightly stunned at first, as if he had woken up a little from drinking, and then said embarrassedly: "I don't have any money on me." ”
When Xiao Er heard this, the expression on his face instantly became exciting, his waist slowly straightened up, and as he stood up, his voice also improved a few points.
"If you want to eat the overlord meal, don't you want to see where this is?" Xiao Er said loudly.
As Xiao Er's voice raised, several strong men walked out of the back of the tavern, looking fierce and vicious. Everyone's eyes were also slowly attracted by Xiao Er, the two women frowned slightly, and the three Qingyun were full of doubts.
The old man looked at Xiao Er in front of him, his brows furrowed slightly, he raised his lazy eyes, looked around casually, and at the same time kept groping for something on his body, as if he was looking for something that could be used as wine money, but he searched all over his body and found nothing.
Xiao Er of the tavern has been paying attention to the old man's every move, and when he saw the old man searching for him, the words in his mouth were swallowed, and now he saw that the old man found nothing. Xiao Er felt like he had been tricked, and the flames on his head suddenly rose, and he was predestined to attack the old man.
It seems that he feels that the situation is not good, or he feels Xiao Er's anger, the old man actually took out a green ginseng plant out of nowhere, and said to Xiao Er: "This is a green ginseng, which can clear heat and reduce fire, and at the same time can drive away poison, temporarily mortgage here, and then I will take it away after I withdraw the money, what do you think?"
"Green ginseng?" Yi Feng lowered his head and pondered.
Green ginseng is a rare treasure in the mountains, which can not only treat various incurable diseases, but more importantly, it can increase the longevity of ordinary people, and at the same time, the medicine is mild, and there will be no side effects. For cultivators, it is of greater benefit, not only can increase the cultivation of cultivators, but also can clear the inner demons in cultivation, which is a rare treasure.
It's just that the little two in front of him obviously don't know the green ginseng, let alone the preciousness of the green ginseng. Hearing that the heat was cleared and the fire was lowered, he felt that the old man was sarcastic about himself, so he took the green ginseng and sneered: "I'm really so easy to fool, just take a broken grass here to fool me, and see how I teach you today." ”
After speaking, he threw the green ginseng on the ground, and the green ginseng fell to the ground, Xiao Er didn't seem to be relieved, and he had to raise his foot and step on it twice. Just when Xiao Er's feet were about to land on the green ginseng, Qingyun bent down to pick up the green ginseng, gently patted the dust on it, looked at it carefully, and said seriously to Xiao Er: "This is indeed green ginseng." ”
The old man in black raised his eyes in slight surprise, glanced at Qingyun and stopped talking.
Xiao Er didn't expect someone to come up and insert a bar, but he didn't know what to do for a while. It's just that he saw that he was a delicate child, and suddenly felt that his face was on fire, and the anger in his heart boiled a little.
"Whose baby's milk hasn't been cut off yet, so I'll take care of other people's affairs. Xiao Er said unceremoniously.
As if he hadn't heard it, Qingyun slowly handed the green ginseng in his hand to the old man, and said to the old man: "Old man, this green ginseng can increase the old man's longevity a little, so you have to put it away." ”
Without waiting for the old man to answer, Qingyun stuffed the green ginseng into the old man's hand. Then he turned around, and at the same time took out the money bag on his body, put it in front of Xiao Er, and said, "The old man didn't eat much, I'll pay for his money." ”
At this time, the shopkeeper was already angry, but now that he has the money to send it over, it is not good to attack again, he took the money bag, took the old man's meal money, and left with a cold snort.
The old man watched Xiao Er leave, handed the green ginseng in his hand to Qingyun and said, "Then let the green ginseng be put here for you first, and then come back to exchange it when I get the money." ”
Qingyun hurriedly excused himself and said, "No need, I don't have much money." ”
"Old man, I have never owed anything to others in my life, and when I am old, I don't want to owe others and accept favors from others in vain. What's more, the green ginseng is precious, and I will definitely come back to get it. With that, the old man turned and left the tavern.
Qingyun looked at the old man who left, then looked at the green ginseng in his hand, and after some hesitation, he quickly put it away.
