Chapter 3 The Strange Shopkeeper
"You are not clean in your mouth. Storm said viciously, sat down and continued to drink.
"Youγγγγγγ Why did you hit me?" Qiao Zhengyu touched the swollen side of his face and said angrily.
Feng Bo sneered and said, "No matter how verbose you are, your fate will be the same as this cup." With a pinch, the glass shattered in half.
When Qiao Zhengyu saw his situation, he couldn't help but gasp, and said to himself: "Qiao Zhengyu, Qiao Zhengyu, you are embarrassed now, and you are still in front of your own goddess, this face is embarrassing." "I was unwilling, and I knew that I was by no means his opponent, so I felt that it was difficult to do it for a while, and I was stunned and motionless.
Wang Yuyan smiled: "Forget it, this little brother, I think you are also an honest man." In this way, if Fourth Brother Feng does something wrong, let me apologize to you on his behalf. He stood up slowly and bowed slightly.
"Miss, why are you doing this? Although he was dissatisfied, he was helpless, so he took a new wine glass, filled the wine, and drank it in one gulp.
Wang Yuyan said: "It's embarrassing for Fourth Brother Feng, the reason why Yu Yan did this is also for the sake of her cousin." This little brother has never known us, and he has no grudges, if this matter spreads to the rivers and lakes, I am afraid that it will damage my cousin's reputation. Fourth Brother Feng, please forgive me for being selfish, but my cousin is the most important thing in my heart, and I have to think about him. β
"Uhγγγγγγ Feng Bo nodded evilly and said, "Miss is thoughtful, I didn't expect this." Also, I dare to act in a turmoil, and I will apologize to this Brother Qiao today. He got up and walked to Qiao Zhengyu's side, and shouted: "This Brother Qiao, I was in trouble just now, and it has nothing to do with my young lady." It's my fault, you have a lot of adults, don't take it to heart, otherwise, even if it's wrong, I'll still find trouble for you. β
Qiao Zhengyu said in his heart: "How can there be such an apology, isn't this clearly a threat." After hesitating for a moment, he saw the evil face of the storm and became angry: "Why, you don't dare to accept it." Suddenly smiled: "Where, Brother Feng is heroic, my Qiao can have the fate to meet the hero today, and it can be regarded as a blessing in three lives." β
"Well, that's like a sentence. The storm withdrew his hands, sat down and continued to drink.
Qiao Zhengyu touched the ash for no reason, a little embarrassed, came to Wang Yuyan's side, and said, "Thank you, Miss Wang, if it wasn't for Miss Wang's righteous words just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have had the opportunity to stand here and speak." β
Wang Yuyan smiled and said, "Brother Qiao doesn't need to be polite, this is as it should be." Besides, this matter just now, I was also thinking about my cousin, and I didn't mean anything else, so I ask Brother Qiao to forgive me. β
Qiao Zhengyu was stunned in his heart: "Miss Wang is really like what is written in the book, she only has her cousin in her heart, and as for other people, she is afraid that she is nothing." I couldn't help but feel ashamed, and my face was slightly red.
"Okay, I won't bother Miss Wang. Qiao Zhengyu was ashamed and turned around and left Wang Yuyan.
He didn't know how he got back to the table, but as soon as he sat down, he heard a man running in from outside the door, and exclaiming, "Have any of you seen my wife? The man held a silver ticket in his hand, raised it above his head, and shouted at the inn.
There were already a lot of customers in the inn at this time, but when they heard this, they all asked, "Oh, but I don't know what your wife looks like, but what are her characteristics?"
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "It's hard to say, some of my wives are very naughty, some are gentle and elegant, and some are alluring, in short, as long as you see abnormal women, most of them are my wives." β
Everyone was confused, and one of them doubted: "How many wives do you have, it sounds like there is more than one." β
The man was stunned for a moment, as if he suddenly realized, and said, "Oh, I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you, I have seven wives." All of them are brutal and difficult, and they are all overwhelmed, and it can be said that compared with Tang Bohu's nine wives, they are not inferior at all. Don't be long-winded, have any of you ever seen them, I'm dying. β
When the people saw that he was full of nonsense, they thought that they had knocked down the madman, and after a burst of laughter, they ignored the man.
Qiao Zhengyu exclaimed in his heart: "Wei Xiaobao, could he be Wei Xiaobao?" waved his hand at the man and said, "Wei γγγγγγ Hey, come here, I know your wife is there. β
The man nodded and walked over, stood opposite Qiao Zhengyu, and said, "This hero, do you really know my wife's whereabouts?"
Qiao Zhengyu said: "Of course, I not only know that you have seven wives, but also know their names, such as Ake, Zeng Rou, and Princess Jianningγγγγγγ β
"Enough, enough, Wei Xiaobao believes in you. Okay, you can tell me, where are all my seven wives, and why are they gone?" the man interrupted.
"Wei Xiaobao, he is really Wei Xiaobao. Qiao Zhengyu said: "Lord Wei, don't worry, let's sit down and eat some wine and food slowly, and it's not too late for me to tell you after eating." Although he didn't know the whereabouts of the seven people, he was able to meet Wei Xiaobao by chance, and he just hoped to talk to him more.
Wei Xiaobao hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, I've been a little hungry since I found it in the morning." Just as he was about to sit down, he heard the counter shopkeeper shout: "Xiao Er, you don't go to entertain guests, what are you doing sitting there." What kind of place are you and I, eat and drink for nothing. β
Wei Xiaobao jumped up suddenly, patted the back of his head violently, and said, "Yes, I'm the second shopkeeper, how can I drink and eat with guests." Wrong, completely wrong. A puff of smoke ran into the back hall.
"Heyγγγγγγ Qiao Zhengyu couldn't pull it even if he wanted to, and when he felt strange, he saw the shopkeeper come to him, made a joke, and said, "This guest officer, I'm sorry, the second junior in this shop was recently invited by me." If there is any offense, I hope you will forgive me. β
Qiao Zhengyu said suspiciously: "Is he the shopkeeper you invited? Isn't he Wei Xiaobao, how can he be the shopkeeper you invited?"
The shopkeeper smiled: "Looking at this guest officer's clothes, I think he just came here from the outside." You don't know, that person is also an outsider, a few days ago came to the inn said that he was looking for a wife, I saw that he was crazy, so I kindly took him in, let him do something in the inn, and gave him food.
"As for his name, I don't know, but this person is a little weird, and it doesn't seem to work if he doesn't have a few seizures a day. No, he has to mess around in the inn several times a day, and I have no choice but to let him go, not wanting to disturb the guest officer. Please sit down, and I'll let him bring some food and drink. β
"Oh, I see. Qiao Zhengyu pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, I'm fine, you go and get busy." But I have a small request if I can talk to him when the store is fine. You may not know it, but I'm actually a good man, especially when it comes to mental illness. β
The shopkeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, this Wei Xiaobao is crazy all day long, it's also strange and pitiful, if the guest officer can cure him, it can be regarded as a merit." β
"Okay, shopkeeper, please go back. Qiao Zhengyu sent the shopkeeper away and sat down to rest alone.
After a while, I heard a voice from the back hall: "It's coming!", Wei Xiaobao walked out with wine and food.
A few steps came to Qiao Zhengyu, "Guest officer, this is the wine and food you want, please enjoy it slowly." Wei Xiaobao put away the wine and food one by one, turned around and walked towards the back hall.
"Wait, shopkeeper, aren't you bullying people? One of the customers shouted and toppled the table.
The shopkeeper was taken aback, his face changed slightly, he came to the man's side in a few steps, bowed down and said, "This uncle, I really don't know where to offend you, why bother you to make a big fuss?"
The man pointed at Wei Xiaobao and said, "Ge Laozi, you shopkeeper is not good-looking, how could you invite such a shopkeeper to come? I have been sitting in the store for a long time, and I haven't seen anyone serve wine and food." And as soon as that person came, he immediately served the food and drink, you are not bullying people. β
The man was dressed in a short outfit, with a long sword at his waist, and his accent seemed to be from the Sichuan region. There were a few others who came with him, all with long swords at their waists, like fellow disciples, and they also shouted together on the side.
The shopkeeper didn't dare to offend, so he stepped forward and hurriedly explained: "Oh, this uncle doesn't know, that guy has some mental problems, so he can't distinguish the main and the secondary." Uncles, don't be impatient, I'll tell the shopkeeper to serve you snacks. β
"Go, go, don't eat again, be careful that I smash your inn, Ge Laoziγγγγγγ The men were full of foul language, cursed a few more times, found a new table, and sat down around.
Seeing the evil in his eyes, he couldn't help but be angry, "snapped", slapped the table, and was about to stand up.
"Fourth Brother Feng, cousin is still Swallow Dock and we are round. There are too many such things on the rivers and lakes, and we can't control them, so it's better to be patient as much as possible, more things are better than less things, and it's better not to be nosy. Wang Yuyan whispered dissuasion on the side, and the turmoil finally held back her anger and sat down slowly.
After a while, Wei Xiaobao served a table of wine and food to those people, and after placing them one by one, he left the hall.
The people were not polite, but when they saw the wine and food coming up, they each shouted, "Brothers, eat!"
Qiao Zhengyu shook his head and said secretly: "Look at the appearance of these people, at a glance, I know that they are some small characters on the rivers and lakes, and I don't know who these people are, what are they doing here?"
Zhengjue was strange, so he listened to one of those people: "Brothers, have you ever heard that there has been a major event in the rivers and lakes recently, it is said that Liu Zhengfeng is going to wash his hands at home this time, and I don't know if it is true or false?"
