Chapter 333: Laughing with Sadness

As soon as the sun set in the clouds, a light rain began to fall in the air, and slowly the rain became heavier and heavier, and by the end of the evening, it was already pouring down.

"Whoa......

The door of the inn was suddenly pushed open, and a figure rushed in with wind and rain.

The lady who was lying on the counter and was already dozing off was blown by the cold wind and rain, and suddenly woke up, and her eyes lit up when she saw the visitors clearly.

"This little road chief, do you want to stay in the hotel?"

The little Taoist, that is, Qi Xuanyun, looked at the scantily clad lady who greeted her, and lowered his head with a red face.

"Hit the point, live...... Stay one night. The little Taoist priest stammered.

"Giggle...... Don't worry, my sister has a good guest room here, and the chief can stay as long as he wants. Jiao Niang giggled and approached the little Taoist.

"One night, one night. Smelling the fragrance on Jiao Niang's body, the little Taoist priest took two steps back and whispered.

"Giggles, do you want to eat something to ward off the cold, don't look at it now in May, it's still a little cold when it rains. ”

Jiao Niang said: "Xiaodao Chief, your body is too thin, don't provoke the cold." ”

"That'...... And what do you have to eat here?" asked the little priest.

"There is good wine and good beef, the beef here in the slave family is a must, after this village, there is no such shop, do you want to try it?" Jiao Niang suggested.

"No, no, I'm a monk, and Master won't let me drink wine and eat meat. The little Taoist priest refused.

Jiao Niang giggled: "Now that the Emperor is far away, Xiaodao Chief, you can taste it secretly, and your master won't know?"

"And in addition to wine and food, there are other things in the shop, do you want to try it too, the slave family is also very delicious. ”

"No...... No...... I...... I ......" The little Taoist priest seemed to be frightened silly, and his head almost fell to the ground.

"Ahem...... Let go of that little Taoist, what's coming at us!"

Suddenly, there was a coughing sound at the door, and three people walked in.

"Welcome officer, please come in ......"

Jiao Niang looked at the three people who walked in at the door, and hurriedly welcomed.

"Do the three guest officers want to be sharp or stay in the hotel?"

"We sheltered from the rain and stayed one night and left. Chu Nianjiu said: "We don't avoid wine, nor do we avoid meat, any good wine and meat will be served to us." ”

Since the little Taoist chief couldn't drink wine and eat meat, he brought him a few plates of cold dishes and a pot of hot tea. ”

"Okay, the slave family will go, and a few guest officers will wait a while. ”

Jiao Niang answered, shook her body, and walked to the back kitchen.

"Little Daoist, meet again!" Ye Qing arched his hand to the little Taoist.

"Are you...... You're the one on the ferry!" Hearing Ye Qing's voice, the little Taoist priest instantly recognized Ye Qing and said excitedly: "Why are you here too?"

"It's me. Ye Qing said with a smile: "We were also passing by here, but I didn't expect to meet you as a small road leader, what a coincidence!"

"Hehe, yes, what a coincidence!" The little Taoist priest was very happy: "Oh, by the way, I also thanked the two eldest brothers for breaking the siege just now, my name is Qi Xuanyun." ”

"Chu Nian wine!"

"Lin Yuhuai!"

"You already know my name, my surname is Ye, and my name is Wuhuan. ”

"I've seen Brother Chu, Brother Lin and Brother Ye. The little Taoist priest greeted them one by one: "Just call me Xuanyun a few times, my master and senior brother are called me here." ”

"Okay, then we'll be gone. Ye Qing, Chu Nianjiu and Lin Yuhuai also smiled: "Meeting is fate, let's sit together." ”

"Come, Xuanyun, sit!"

"Okay, okay. Qi Xuanyun sat down, smiling all over his face.

......

"In charge, there are four fat cows tonight, all of them are fat, and they are definitely good goods. ”

Jiao Niang came to the back kitchen, looked at the rickety man lying in the weeds like a cow, and said: "Boss, you must be careful, don't let those fat cows slip away." ”

"I can't slip away, my craft, you can rest assured, lady. The rickety man grinned, showed a mouthful of yellow teeth, half-sat up, stretched out his hand and pulled a piece of dead grass from the grass nest, folded a piece of beef, and put it on the plate that Jiao Niang took from the kitchen counter.

When the piece of beef made of dead grass was placed on the plate, it turned out to be a real piece of beef, with grease and aroma.

Immediately afterwards, the rickety man weaved dishes such as roast beef, boiled beef, stir-fried tripe, oxtail soup, crystal hoof tendons and other dishes, each of which was lifelike, with good color and flavor.

"Master, your craft is really getting better and better. Jiao Niang looked at the dishes on the plate and exclaimed.

"Thank you for the compliment. The rickety man smiled innocently: "Hurry up and take it out, don't let the guests wait." ”

"Okay, let's go. Jiao Niang answered, carrying the food woven from withered grass, and walked towards the lobby.

"It's coming, it's coming, the customer has been waiting for a long time, and the food is coming. ”

"Everyone, please use it slowly, there will be it later, and the slave family will bring it to you. Jiao Niang put the dish on the table, smiled, and turned to leave.

When Jiao Niang came up with a few more plates of dishes, she was surprised to find that the table had become clean and there was nothing.

"Guest, you ......"

"What, we haven't eaten for many days, we're a little hungry, we're eating a little fast, and the proprietress is not surprised. Chu Nianjiu said with a smile.

"That plate ......" Jiao Niang looked at the table like a dog had licked and blinked.

"I'm sorry, we're so hungry, and your beef is so delicious, so we can't help but eat it on a plate. Ye Qing smiled: "It's crunchy, chicken-flavored, and it's quite delicious." ”

"Giggle...... Since the guests are very hungry, let's eat more, we don't have anything else in the store, just a lot of meat, to ensure that you are satisfied. Jiao Niang smiled.

"Then thank you hostess. Ye Qing smiled: "By the way, please ask the proprietress to bring me the vegetarian food prepared for my brother." ”

"You see, my little brother is crying. ”

Jiao Niang looked at it, and saw that the little Taoist priest was lowering his head, his shoulders were shaking, and his throat was vaguely made a hehe sound, where is this crying, he is clearly laughing!

"But he's laughing!"

Don't think that you can lie to me because I don't read much!

"You don't understand this, hasn't the proprietress heard of happiness and sadness? You can be sad when you are happy, can't you laugh when you are very sad? Laugh with sadness, my little brother is like this. ”

Ye Qing said nonsense seriously: "You don't read much, I don't blame you." ”

Jianniang: "......"

"Let's go, or maybe my little brother will cry and laugh and cry and laugh for a while?" Ye Qing said seriously.

"Okay, okay, wait a minute, the slave will go. Jiao Niang glanced at Ye Qing with a charming look, and turned to leave.

"It's so fragrant, it's really fragrant!" After Jiao Niang left, Chu Nianjiu looked at the food in front of him, a trace of frenzy flashed in his eyes, but Xuan shook his head vigorously and kept his senses: "Can't you really eat it?"

Lin Yuhuai closed his sense of smell, but looking at the dishes on the table, he still couldn't help but have the urge to eat it in his heart.

"Wu Huan, is there really a problem with these dishes?"

He remembered what happened before, when the dishes were served, he and Lin Yuhuai obviously didn't feel hungry, but they couldn't help but want to stuff the dishes on the table into their stomachs, even if they were dying.

But just as they pounced, they were stopped by Ye Qing and the little Taoist, and then they saw Ye Qing throw the dishes on the table out of the window with lightning speed.

Strange to say, after the dishes on the table were thrown out, they immediately came back to their senses, but when the proprietress brought the dishes again, they couldn't help but have this urge in their hearts.

"Well, there's a problem. ”

Ye Qing stroked his eyebrows, knew the swaying of the demon lotus in the sea, and kept his consciousness clear: "What kind of food can make people lose their minds, don't you think it's strange?"

"Besides, it's not meat, it's ...... Grass. ”

In Ye Qing's eyes, the things on the table were delicious dishes, but weeds.

"Grass, are you serious?" Chu Nian said.

"It's really grass, Brother Ye didn't lie to you. The little Taoist priest raised his head, held back a smile, and agreed.

It's really interesting that Ye Qing's previous sentence "I ate it with a plate" is too interesting, he is not a person who laughs casually in front of people, unless he can't help it.

"The spirit officer rushes to misfortune, the gods are clear, see the heavens and the earth, and open the ......"

A yellow paper talisman slipped out of the little Taoist priest's sleeve and pressed it on the food on the table, the yellow paper talisman spontaneously combusted, emitting a puff of green smoke, and when the green smoke dissipated, the delicacies on the table turned into a pile of weeds.

"It's really grass, what kind of grass is this?" Chu Nianjiu asked.

"It's cow grass. The little Taoist priest said: "The cow grass is said to be the old cow after the death of the resentful soul of the incarnation, because the old cow is generally psychic, unwilling to eat the cow, and the cow can only eat grass, when the death is unwilling, the resentment of the soul into the cow grass." ”

"Cow grass has a great temptation for humans, if people eat cow grass by mistake, they will become cows, but after becoming cows, humans will remain sane, as long as they keep their sanity alive, they will recover after a day. But if you can't keep your sanity, you'll become a cow completely. ”

The little Taoist priest suddenly sneered: "It seems that I have finally found the main master." ”

Ye Qing said curiously: "Listen to what you mean, you have been looking for this inn again?!"

And judging from the actions of the little Taoist priest before, he seems to have been prepared.

"Well, I've been looking for this inn for a long time. ”

The little Taoist priest did not hide it, and said: "When I traveled down the mountain, I encountered a strange thing, that is, some people would be haunted by nightmares every night, in their dreams, they would often dream of some cows, but those cows had human faces, full of resentment, and shouted at them, 'You ate me', 'You ate me'. ”

"And it's not an isolated case, but there are a lot of people who have this kind of nightmare, and I've even seen people in one county have the same nightmare. ”

The little Taoist priest was silent for a moment, and continued: "If that's all there is to it, it's fine, but what's even more terrifying is that anyone who is haunted by nightmares will gradually become insane, thinking that they are a cow, walking on all fours, feeding on grass, and finally they will die by trampling themselves. ”

"I remember that similar cases were recorded in the archives of the Jing'an Division. ”

Lin Yuhuai suddenly sent a message to Ye Qing and Chu Nianjiu: "The name of the case is the Mengniu case, and the grade is assessed as impermanence, and it is still an unsolved case of Jing'an Division. ”

"It is reported that the Jing'an Division sent a large number of manpower to investigate the case thoroughly, but there was no result, because the location of the case was very uncertain, sometimes even far from the north, and the clues were also disorganized, which was very strange. ”

"I think I've heard of it, too. Chu Nianjiu nodded.

Only Ye Qing looked confused, saying that he had not heard of it.
