In the early morning, in a small inn at the foot of the mountain, there were already some guests drinking hot porridge at the table.

This inn is located on the border of the Tang Kingdom, and you only need to walk a hundred miles to enter the territory of the Mo family, and naturally there are often passing merchants staying here.

Otherwise, in this sparsely populated place, opening such a lonely inn, I am afraid that the boss's family will starve to death in the wasteland sooner or later.

In this road, there are also many merchants who know the proprietress of this inn, and know that her temperament is pungent, and it is not a new thing to train her own young man, and now they do not intend to touch her moldy head, but while bowing their heads and drinking porridge, they listen with interest.

Soon, there was a rush of footsteps outside the backyard door, and a short young man hurriedly ran in from outside, holding a teapot in one hand and scratching his head helplessly in the other, and said, "I said boss, what are you howling early in the morning, aren't I boiling water?"

As soon as the proprietress saw him, she was angry and slapped her face on the table, which shocked the guests who were drinking porridge and shuddered: "Still quibbling? I can see it clearly upstairs, and I secretly ran to the stables to touch the guests' horses, right? What's the matter? That chivalrous man hasn't taught you enough lessons last time? When the time comes, people will beat you up again, and you won't have to apologize to you! Other people's horses, you just feed them well and brush them well, and if you touch them, what if it's your daughter-in-law? Wake up, you haven't married a wife this year!"

The young man was scolded by the proprietress and his face was flushed, and he retorted unconvinced: "Didn't I just touch people's horses, and I wouldn't lose a piece of meat? Last time, that hero had a small belly and chicken intestines, what can you blame me? In the end, people are angry not because I touched other people's horses, but because he said that he wanted me to feed the horses with concentrate, the boss, you heard it wrong and asked me to give rough materials, and people beat me, I am the most innocent one from beginning to end, okay!"

The proprietress stood up abruptly and sneered: "You are innocent? Coarse material, you have fed so many horses, you can't see it? That horse is fat, can you grow it by feeding coarse material?"

"Then who knows......" the young man also glared, not giving an inch, "what is impossible in this world?"

This is a quibble, but the proprietress is obviously not a fuel-efficient lamp, and slapped the table again: "It's against you? Today I should really teach you what the rules are, I'm doing this for your good, don't think I don't know, you're a dead runner, you have a lot of stories people tell you, and you want to ride a horse to be a general. Bah, if you can be a general, I can't be a queen?"

"Who said I can't be a general?" The young man who was exposed to what he thought in his heart was flushed, and he didn't dare to look at the smiling merchants around him, but he was still not unconvinced, "Wasn't General Liu of our Tang State conquering the Southern Army a flat-headed common man earlier? I heard that this time Tang State is going to send troops again, if I can join the army now, maybe I can also mix up a small head, and when the time comes, I will go back to the inn to drink, I will definitely order the most expensive beef!"

He thought for a moment, then stared at the small eyes and emphasized: "Two plates!"

"Come on. If you still join the army, you can go to the battlefield with your rat guts, don't pee your pants in fear when you see the enemy!" the proprietress snorted, "General Liu, do you have the ability to run horses on the battlefield......?"

"It's Chu Gou!" shouted the young man.

"I don't care if you're a pig or a dog. Your poor teaching father is leaving you to my wife anyway, so you have to listen to me......!

At this time, a complaining roar came from upstairs: "What's the noise, early in the morning, let people not sleep?"

So everyone was surprised to find that the proprietress who was still menacing just now seemed to have changed from a white-fronted tiger with hanging eyes to a soft and lovely domestic cat in an instant, and apologized to the closed door upstairs: "Guest officer...... Oh no...... Hero, I'm sorry, I forgot that you're still sleeping, it's all my fault, why don't you sleep again......?

The proprietress put on a fierce face, waved her hand constantly, and motioned to the young man to continue to do his own thing, but the young man was a little disdainful, and deliberately stretched out his voice and said, "I'm going to boil water......"

Then, he turned and walked towards the backyard.

Some guests laughed, and a middle-aged man came out of the backyard at this time, holding a spatula, looking at the proprietress helplessly.

"Boss, you are blessed to marry such a gentle and lovely aunt. The guest teased, of course, this gentle and lovely person is dedicated to those powerful people, such as the chivalrous man upstairs, and it is obviously impossible to show that side to this honest boss at a glance.

But looking at the boss's appearance, he was honest, and when he heard the guests teasing him like this, the soldiers were not angry, and even laughed happily, and said: "If you want to fry peanuts, then I'll fry two more dishes, no money, everyone has a share." ”

Of course, several merchants responded happily, but the proprietress rolled her eyes at this time, looked at her husband, and thought to herself, which stimulated you from here, just for such a seemingly boastful but actually ridiculous remark to be happy like this?

It's just that these plates of peanuts are apologizing to her, and naturally they also contain affection for her, even if she is spicy, she has to give her husband enough face at this time, and a few simple smiles appeared on her slightly chubby face.

As a result, the young man Chu Gou walked out of the backyard with a teapot, his face was smoky, and he scolded and said: "Hey, boss, what kind of firewood did you collect this time, the smoke is so big? ”

The proprietress glared at Chu Gou and said, "What is it called, firewood doesn't need money, just this firewood, you don't like to use it, you have the ability to go up the mountain and pick it up yourself." ”

Chu Gou quarreled with the proprietress while pouring tea for the guests, the inn was full of laughter, and there was a knock at the door, Chu Gou glanced at the proprietress who obviously did not plan to open the door to welcome the guests, scolded in his mouth, put down the teapot again, and walked towards the courtyard.

"It's coming, it's coming!" he shouted, tugging at the deadbolt, and the moment the door opened, he was so frightened that he almost peed his pants.

"My mother, the wild man from the mountain is coming!" In the inn, there would often be woodcutters who said that they had seen wild men on the nearby mountains, with the head of a bear, and they were tall and dirty, and they were all covered with hair, and Chu Gou used to think that they were just joking, or trying to scare themselves.

But now, at the door of this inn, there stood a bear-headed man, whose hair was as dirty as a "monster" that had just rolled in the mud, and he trembled with start, and his teeth chattered, and he howled violently.

The guests in the inn listened to his cry and didn't care, but smiled at the proprietress who was settling accounts and said, "Is this kid playing any new tricks again?"

The proprietress turned pale, took a step towards the door, and scolded as she walked: "Pig and dog! What are you doing? If you don't work hard, you know that you can talk nonsense with your eyes open!"

And when she saw the hideous bear head, a pair of copper bell eyes staring at her in a daze, she was also shocked, even if it is a bear, it shouldn't be so big...... It's just that this figure is not tall and majestic, obviously disproportionate to this bear head, isn't it really some kind of monster coming down the mountain?

But when she looked at it, she also calmed down, what kind of monster is this?

It's just a man wearing a wide bear skin, standing straight in the doorway. And Chu Gou didn't dare to move his eyes, so he couldn't notice that there was a dirty face under the bear's head.

The person standing at the door listened to Chu Gou's call for a long time, and found that it was not finished, and he also lost his patience, and said helplessly: "Have you finished call......ing? I'm really thirsty. ”

The proprietress listened to the young voice, and finally completely relieved herself, and shouted at Chu Gou at the same time: "Pig and dog, don't you see the guests coming in?
