Passing through two mountains from the mountain road of the village, and then the official road leading to Jinguan City.

The official road is not smooth, but for Wang Qilin, who has been scurrying in the mountains all April, he suddenly saw a spacious avenue and felt a kind of emotion in his heart.

It's that he feels like he's connected to civilization again.

Walking along the official road for a while, some thatched houses, small wooden buildings, and stilted buildings appeared in their field of vision.

It's a place where the pedestrians rest, a bit like the service area he came across when he was running at high speed in his dreams.

In addition, this place is really serviced, and when they walked by, several girls waved enthusiastically, wanting to serve them:

"Uncle, the price is negotiable, come in and play. ”

"That little white face, come on, come to my sister's shop to eat, my sister won't charge you money. ”

Hearing this, Xu Da became angry and yelled at them: "Go aside, what sister, obviously they are all aunts!"

After he finished yelling, he explained to the people around him: "Uncle hates being called a little white face the most, mother, they insulted the manhood of the uncle!"

The servant ghost asked: "Brother, do you want me to pee on you to take a picture?" No, I have been on fire recently, and my urine is yellow and turbid, who has not been on fire recently, and the urine is relatively clear? Come and give Uncle Xu the whole water mirror. ”

The soliciting women were angry and wanted to start scolding Xu Da.

But Xu Da gave the servant ghost a punch, and the servant ghost suffered this loss and walked away with a smile.

The women closed their mouths.

They know the ghost, this person is from the nearby village, and he has a very high status in the village-

The women are not afraid of the high-level of the bureaucratic village, they are afraid of the ghosts of the bureaucrats, this person does not give money for prostitution, and he is very shameless.

There are four inns side by side behind Goolan Restaurant, and after walking through these inns, a wine shop appears, and a swaggering banner at the door of the wine shop: Huandao Wine Shop!

At this time, it was already past the afternoon, the sun was in the west, and the meal was not served, but the shops were scattered with customers.

The merchants did not have an accurate meal, and they would come to eat when they could arrive at such a resting place.

Huandao Liquor Shop is an elegant wooden building, it looks good, the decoration is simple but elegant, similar style he has only seen in the homes of big families in Shangyuan Mansion and Chang'an City, so if the liquor shop is the layout of the shopkeeper, then the shopkeeper will be extraordinary.

The restaurant has three floors, with the lobby on the first floor, the private room on the second floor, and the third floor as the residence of the owner's family and the shopkeeper.

At this time, the store was quite lively.

The shopkeeper is a greasy middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears, the weather is hot, and the humidity here in Shu County is heavy, and the shopkeeper is busy with a sweat.

His appearance is very inconsistent with the style of the store, Wang Qilin glanced at him roughly, and then found that this person looked rude and greasy, but in fact, his steps were light and his voice was clear, which was a bit interesting.

There are more than ten tables neatly placed in the lobby, half of the tables are seated, except for one table where only two people sit, the other tables are full of people.

These people were laughing heroically, and the shopkeeper passed by, and someone slapped him on his fat buttocks and shouted: "Shopkeeper, take a break, you see that you are hot, and the oil in your body has turned into sweat." ”

The shopkeeper shook his big face and slapped him shyly: "Death, don't talk about this, you just want to take advantage of others." ”

The posture was very girlish, and Wang Qilin was stunned for a while.

The man next to him smiled: "My eldest brother is serious, look at you, wipe a slap of sweat and slap it on the table, and the oil beads that come down can be used to scramble an egg." ”

"Look at what you say is disgusting," the shopkeeper slapped him again, "the oil beads can't be used like that, they should be used for lubrication." ”

The man quickly pushed him away.

A group of big men laughed: "Big pig, Erniang has taken a fancy to you." "Don't leave tonight, let's make a living for the big pig and Erniang." ”

Wang Qilin looked at the shopkeeper in surprise, and said calmly: "Yes, she is a girl." ”

"But her beard is thicker than mine. Wang Qilin touched his chin.

The ghostly snorted and held back for a while, and finally didn't seem to hold back: "Lord Wang, big brother, let's be honest, cough cough, you are a girl in our mountains with such a face and such a figure." ”

Fat Wuyi squeezed up and said angrily: "Insult my seventh master?"

Wang Qilin pushed him away and rolled his eyes and said, "The earth ghost Lao Tie is just joking, okay, get ready to ......"

"Ah, big brother is here. "At least one of the people stood at one table.

The young man's skin is whiter than Wang Qilin's, but his facial features are almost tasteful.

Wang Qilin's appearance is both handsome and heroic, at first glance people look like a handsome guy, but at the second glance it will make people praise a 'good man'.

After he got up, he spoke towards the door, Wang Qilin and the others thought they were greeting him, but they looked at him obviously not.

The person next to him also stood up, and he couldn't see clearly, because he was wearing a hat and a long robe on a hot day, and his whole body was wrapped tightly.

The young man's head turned, his eyes followed, and he turned from the door to the other side of the table and said with a smile: "Big brother, you are really, why are you so late?" Okay, it's finally here, the shopkeeper is serving, but we are hungry with our chests and stomachs. ”

The room full of people noticed that something was wrong, and the young man seemed to be speaking to someone who couldn't even be seen by the big guys.

The fierce boss lady blinked, and asked the man next to her hesitantly: "Who did he greet just now?"

The man said, "Greet him as a brother?"

The person next to him whispered, "Are there any brothers?

"I saw, and I saw many. The person who spoke lifted his chin and pointed it to the door.

Wang Qilin and others arrived.

The proprietress obviously knew the ghost, so she beckoned the shopkeeper to go to the table of dishes for the white young man, and she came to entertain Wang Qilin and the others.

The ghost pointed to the group and said: "Erniang, open your eyes and look carefully, this is the distinguished guest of our bureaucratic village, yes, the mountain guard team invited by our great sage, they are all masters, you have to serve carefully today." ”

The mountain guard team is the law enforcement team of the Dahei Shan group of villages in Shudi, which is equivalent to the fast capture of the yamen, which is used to protect the safety of the cottages and maintain the order of the mountain people's lives.

This is the temporary status that the bureaucrats have placed for Wang Qilin and the others, and they cannot now expose their official positions as the Heavenly Supervisor.

The proprietress smiled when she heard the introduction, came up and reached out to grab Xu Da and said, "Oops, it turns out to be the new adults of the mountain guard team." Look at this adult, he must be the captain of this mountain guarding team, hey, the captain is really a hero, you look at this strong chest, look at this strong arms and thighs......"

The big hand with long hair went up to his chest, and Wang Qilin was stunned: the last person he had ever seen do this was Xu Da himself.

Retribution is coming!

Xu Da hurriedly stretched out his arm and pushed her away: "What are you doing, where are you touching your hands? Why are you not ashamed of a woman? I, I, I am not the captain, he is the captain." ”

He dragged Wang Qilin out.

The proprietress of the five big and three thick pouted at Wang Qilin, and suddenly lost interest: "Yo, you are the captain? What do you call it? Please sit down, captain, please sit down, uncle, you can also sit down, come, the slave family will give you ......."

She said to Wang Qilin in the first half, Xu Da in the second half, and after talking to Xu Da, she regained her enthusiasm to pull him.

Xu Da pushed her arm away and shouted: "Don't move your hands and feet, so many people are watching, do you want to ruin your uncle's reputation?"

Shen Yi sneered: "Amitabha, second troll, you have the reputation of another fart." ”

Fat Wuyi frowned and looked at the shopkeeper and asked, "Are you blind?" My seventh master is right in front of you, you don't use your hands and feet against my seventh master, but on my Xu Ye, what does this mean?"

Wang Qilin hurriedly pulled him away: "We don't fight this kind of thing." ”

Fat Wuyi said: "No, Seventh Master, we don't fight if we shouldn't fight, but we ...... fight if we should fight."

"That's what shouldn't be argued. Wang Qilin said decisively, "Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense, hurry up and enter the house, it's so hot with such a big sun outside." ”

The group entered the house, and it was even hotter.

Xu Da wiped his sweat, and when he saw this, the proprietress handed him her sweat towel and said with a smile: "Come, uncle, don't wipe your sweat with your sleeves, use this to wipe your sweat." ”

"No, uncle, no. Xu Da pushed away her outstretched arm again, and he pulled Xu Xiaoda over: "Sister, you come to help him wipe his sweat, you talk to him, uncle can't do it, uncle is a boy man, and he is shy when he sees a woman." ”

Hearing this, the proprietress covered her mouth with a sweat towel and let out a bold laugh: "Giggles, uncle is still a boy chicken? Coincidentally, there happens to be a dish called boy chicken in this shop of the slave family, giggle......

Her laughter was like an old hen hugging her nest, and Xu Da's face was gloomy when she heard it.

It was the first time Wang Qilin had seen him so deflated in front of a woman.

What retribution!

Xu Xiaoda shook off his brother's arm and said angrily: "You, you, Xu Da, you are a brother in vain! I am your own brother, my own brother! Tiger poison does not eat wanderers, wolves do not hurt brothers, what about you, you insult Sven!"

He said to the proprietress again: "Eldest sister, don't listen to my brother, my brother is a boy chicken, no, a boy man." He is a child, thin-skinned, and he doesn't dare to talk to her if he likes someone, but in fact, his heart is turbulent......"

"Yes, yes, because what you can't get is always in turmoil, and those who are favored will have nothing to fear. Wang Qilin nodded and added, "This colleague of mine is interested in you, otherwise why would we come to your store? There are so many restaurants here, why do we come to your house?"

His voice fell, and Xu Xiaoda picked up: "Yes, what my captain said is very true." When we were looking for a tavern just now, my eldest brother walked to your door and refused to leave, why?

"My day!" Xu Da was stunned, and hurriedly got up to argue.

Wang Qilin gave Shen Yi a look, and Shen Yi covered Xu Da's mouth.

Xu Da: "Mmmm

Eight Meow jumped on the table and shook his head at him solemnly: Don't speak.

Xu Xiaoda sang and harmonized with Wang Qilin, making the proprietress very happy, and oil and water could be squeezed out of the wrinkles of laughter.

After laughing at the end, the proprietress patted Wang Qilin on the shoulder affectionately and said, "I didn't expect the captain to be so good at talking and making people so happy." However, you still have to pay the bill for dinner later. ”

It's a bit hurtful to say this.

Fortunately, Wang Qilin didn't plan to eat here, he said: "There is the trouble of the shopkeeper, we are not here to eat......

"What are you doing in this wine shop without eating?" The man next to him asked, "Could it be that you are really here for Erniang?" Oh, Erniang, you are blessed now, how many men are this, hey, what about the twenties, can you stand it?"

The proprietress stretched out her finger and tapped it on the man's head with a happy look, covered her mouth with an oily sweat towel and smiled softly: "Look at you, who do you think I am Erniang?

She glanced at Xu Da again: "The slave family is only happy with one person!"

When Xu was a freshman, his heart was like ashes.

Wang Qilin said to the proprietress: "Our brother is here for Erniang, the others are not, our real purpose is to buy some chicken, duck, fish and wine, and go back to cook by ourselves." ”

Hearing this, Erniang frowned black and coarse: "It's good for you to buy wine, come to buy chicken, duck and fish? Come to my wine store to buy chicken, duck and fish and go back to cook by yourself?"

Wang Qilin said: "Our brother just came to the village and wanted to cook a meal for the villagers in the village and invite them to drink. ”

The servant ghost added, "Captain Wang is very particular about people. ”

Yan Erniang looked at them strangely and said: "It's really exquisite, if you want to buy wine, the old lady has it in this wine shop, and I'm not afraid that you will buy it." But if you want to buy chicken, duck and fish? This old lady can't help it, you have to see clearly, this old lady is a wine store and not a vegetable market. ”

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "I know this is a wine store, but you should have a lot of food and meat here, right? Now that it's so hot, both vegetables and meat will rot quickly, so the shopkeeper might as well sell us some, which can be regarded as helping you go to stock." ”

The proprietress shook her head vigorously: "There are some meat dishes in my kitchen, but they are not enough for their own use, how can I sell them to you?"

The rough man at a table in the corner asked with interest: "Adults need meat and vegetables?" I am a great worker, and I specialize in delivering food and meat dishes on this road, so you see that if you need it, you can tell me, and I will send it to you to ensure that it is fresh." ”

Wang Qilin asked, "How long will it take for you to send a trip?"

"You give me the money today, and I will be able to deliver the meat and vegetables the day after tomorrow at the latest. The rough man said confidently.

Wang Qilin shook his head immediately when he heard this.

Time is running out.

The proprietress glanced at Xu Da and suddenly smiled: "If this adult comes to ask the slave family, the slave family may have some way to solve the needs of the adult." ”

Xu Da said bitterly: "Uncle has no demand. ”

Wang Qilin went up and pushed him: "Master Xu, what are you talking about, hurry up, it's time to show your value, you sacrifice for our team." ”

Xu shouted: "Seventh Master, you are really forgetful!"

Wang Qilin pushed him out and said with bad intentions: "Master Xu, you have two ways now, one is to buy vegetables from the shopkeeper, which is only a temporary sacrifice of hue, and the other is to be tied up by us tonight and thrown into the wine shop, then you will have to sacrifice your chastity." ”

"What kind of chastity does my brother have?" Xu Xiaoda laughed.

Xu Da had no choice but to show an aggrieved expression to the proprietress .

The proprietress smiled and stretched out her hand to twist his chest, and said, "How can the slave family be willing to make you sad?"

"If you need chicken, duck and fish, the chicken and duck slaves can't help, and the fish and meat can barely show you a clear way. ”

She pointed to the north and said, "You go inside, there are some houses and ponds in it, they will choose the pond every year to stock fish fry, one pond of fish is enough for the village, so you should come to the slave family to find them." ”

The ghost nodded and said, "Yes, a wild rain in the mountains will produce dozens or hundreds of wild ponds, and some people will choose the ponds that can be used to raise fish, I know these places." ”

Wang Qilin readily agreed.

He bought twenty barrels of wine in the wine shop and was about to leave, when the white young man on the table next to him also got up and said, "Big brother, continue to eat here, our brother will go first, let's come to Japan for a long time, goodbye to the rivers and lakes." ”

After speaking, he clasped his fists and saluted, and said to the proprietress: "Shopkeeper, the money for the wine and food will be settled by my eldest brother, and you will find him to settle the bill later." ”

The proprietress and the shopkeeper glanced at each other and looked at each other.

The men in the room only felt chills when they saw this scene, and some of them couldn't help but ask, "Where is this brother of his? These two people are too weird, right?"

A man said: "Yes, look at the two of them, only the white-clothed man is eating and drinking, and the black-clothed man has not moved the dishes and chopsticks." ”

"Don't talk about the chopsticks," said the man next to him, "he didn't move, he was like a dead man......

Someone bumped him on the arm with an elbow and whispered, "Silence, woe comes from the mouth!"

The proprietress looked at Wang Qilin in a panic and said, "My lord, you are the captain of the mountain guard team invited by the bureaucratic village, you have to help us manage this kind of thing, this kind of strange thing, right?

Wang Qilin snorted.

There's a ghost.

There were four stools on a table, and the young man in white and the young man in black had already stood up, he went up and threw the four stools out, and then looked at the young man in white.

The young man's white face suddenly turned red.

Just now, Wang Qilin saw that these two people were trying to cheat and cheat, and they deliberately pretended to have an invisible companion to pretend to be a ghost.

The man in black among them is also playing tricks, he doesn't eat and drink because he doesn't want to eat and drink, but because he wants to act.

Bai Jing Young Man secretly paid attention to his surroundings while eating just now, and when no one was paying attention, he would stuff some rice and vegetable leaf meat slices into his sleeves, doing something hateful, but he looked a little pitiful.

Wang Qilin grabbed him and asked, "Where is your eldest brother now?"

The young man said in a panic: "He, he stood up......"

Wang Qilin stared at him, and after glancing at him, he suddenly hung his head: "My brother and I haven't eaten for two days. ”

Close to the distance, Wang Qilin could hear the gurgling sound in the stomach of the young man in black.

He shook his head and took out a silver baht from his waist and stuffed it into the white pure youth, and said, "Looking at you, you also look like a scholar, how can you do this kind of thing of roosters and dogs?"

The young man knew the shame, he covered his face with his sleeve and handed the money to the proprietress without caring about the change, grabbed the sleeve of his companion in black and ran out of the door hastily.

The group of people who were frightened before saw this and understood the truth, and they immediately exploded, and the house was crowded.

Wang Qilin asked the young men to carry the wine back to the village, and he took Xu Da, the servants and the ghosts to continue to walk into the mountains.

On the way, he asked, "What do you think of this wine shop?"

Xu Daxin said with palpitations: "Don't dare to look at it!"

Everyone laughed, Xie Toad shook his head and smiled: "Immeasurable Tianzun, this wine shop is a little interesting, and this shopkeeper is also a little interesting." But what exactly is going on, we have to take a closer look, the old way now has an inference, if the old way is right......"

"Don't say it, if you say this, then you are wrong. Everyone shook their heads.

Less than two miles from the official road, a pond appeared in front of them.

This pond is really a wild pond, it is a depression that collects rainwater. There is no entrance to the water veins underground, but there is no need to worry about them drying up, there is a lot of rain in the mountains near Jinguan Castle, and there is rain all year round, and there is constantly rain that will be replenished.

The miscanthus has passed, and the summer is about to be small, the weather is hot, and the grass and trees are abundant.

There are a lot of wild aquatic plants growing in the pond, and the blades of grass are linked, like people holding arms to each other, and it looks very lively.

Wang Qilin picked up a stone and threw it in.

The water was rippling, and some fish jumped up in fright.

Seeing this, the ghost smiled and said, "Yes, there are still fish in this pond, so let's buy some fish here and stew them and eat them?"

Wang Qilin said: "Okay, let's go find the master's house." ”

Naturally, there are no fish in the wild pond, and if there is a fish that emerges, it means that someone has stocked the fry.

The servant ghost said nonchalantly: "Let's go into the water to catch fish, and the master's family will come later." ”

Wang Qilin said with a smile: "We Han people say that if we don't tell us, we are thieves, we can't do this kind of thing, let's go find the master." ”

The ghost said: "Lord Wang's character is noble, and I admire him. But he never did such a thing as stealing, and the reason why we could go down directly to catch fish was because we only went down and the master's hounds would inform him. ”

He rolled up his sleeves and went down to the pond to touch the fish, and sure enough, after a while, a dog appeared, and barked at them a few times.

Seeing that they still did not leave, the dog turned away.

Shen San asked curiously, "What kind of reason is this?"

"The mountain people will have a lot of dogs, and they will help chase their prey when hunting, and they will help guard the door when they are at home, and they will usually guard the property of their master's family. ”

"Every household in the mountains will raise more than a dozen of them in a wild pond like this, and they will put fish fry into it, and rely on God to raise it, and after they grow up, they will use it as rations, and they will sell it for money if they can sell it. ”

"These fish are naturally the property of the owner's family, so their dog will patrol the pond where he belongs every day, and when he sees someone coming down to the pond, the dog will go back to inform the owner's house. ”

Wang Qilin suddenly realized: "The dogs in the mountains are very clever." ”

The servant ghost looked at Jiuliu enviously: "It's better to be this tengu." Lord Wang, you- forget it, when I didn't say it. ”

Wang Qilin asked, "What did you say?"

The servant shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I wanted to ask if you had any way to get me a tengu, but I thought it was impossible. ”

Eight Meow stood up and hugged Jiuliu's neck and sneered at him: What do you want to fart, my daughter-in-law is rare in the world, she can only do it with Meow Ye, do you want to do one too? Hehe, you go get wild dogs.
