Chapter 8 Post Station (Seeking Collection)

Although the weather in August is not as cloudy and changeable as in June and July, there will be showers, but the heat is still unbearable.

As a result, the popularity of the post stations has become quite hot, even in the remote and dry mountains.

At this moment, in front of the Mangkuan Post Station connecting the Jiangxia Plain, under the five pergolas, three of them were already full of people.

There are high-rollers coming and going, as well as mountain villagers and foot merchants who are passing by.

The shopkeeper called for three or four little two to take out the special mountain plum herbal tea from the cool water storage place and give it to the passing tourists to drink.

"I haven't heard of tigers in the mountains for nearly two months, so I think we can have a good harvest before the autumn deadline. Looking at the so-called high-rollers who were occupying the shade and drinking and eating meat, the shopkeeper wondered in his heart whether he was collecting more wild goods from those mountain people.

At that time, the shopkeeper who did not let go of any passing traveler in all directions suddenly saw two young men one big and one small on the mountain road at the end of the post station, walking slowly.

One of them was a hero, with a long sword on his back, about sixteen years old, and seemed to be worth well, while the other was very thin, and although he was neatly dressed, he looked quite demented.

"San'er, go get two bowls of herbal tea. The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted a rather clever young man.

"Howler. "Xiao Er, who is called San'er, is the nephew of the shopkeeper, and when he saw the direction pointed by the shopkeeper, he suddenly understood in his heart.

In these years, the best business to do is nothing more than those young chivalrous people who have just come out of the rivers and lakes.

Don't say it generously, often chase a few words, and there is another reward, not a loss is an uncle, I just hope to get a guest reward at that time, and I can leave him more.

"Two young heroes, now that the weather is hot, why don't you rest here, our store provides the best special herbal tea for free. Looking at the two teenagers walking towards him, San'er happily walked over and shouted loudly.

"Rest?" Hearing Xiao Er's shout, Zhou Yu looked at Lin Zheng who was following him, and saw that he was sweating profusely, and he looked blankly at the moment, and nodded his forehead as if it was difficult.

"Then rest. Zhou Yu caught this scene, and his heart was also relieved, it was in vain that he breathed for him many times in the mountains, and at this moment he felt physically trapped, and finally responded like ordinary people.

"Xiao Er, come two bowls of sour noodles, two catties of braised pork, and add a knife to shoot cucumbers and two hot and sour side dishes. Stepping into the pergola, drinking a bowl of sour and delicious mountain plum tea, smelling the fragrance not far away, and then seeing Lin Zheng licking the empty bottom of the bowl, Zhou Yu suddenly laughed loudly.

"Well, this is for you. Looking at the silver ingots that Zhou Yu casually threw on the table, he estimated that there were three taels of Xiaoer, and he was immediately overjoyed, and hurriedly said while putting away the silver ingots.

"This little brother drink slowly, there is still in our store, and herbal tea is given away for free. After San'er finished speaking, he first took a pot of herbal tea and put it on the table, and then hurriedly ran to the back kitchen to prepare the meal.

Zhou Yu poured another bowl for Lin Zheng, and tasted some of it himself, it tasted a little like sour plum soup, drinking a bowl in the hot summer, it was cool and appetizing.

As for the free, this involves the business of the shopkeeper.

The post station is close to the mountains and forests, the plum is not short of water, it is easy to make, although it takes some time and effort but the passing travelers are tired in a hot day, just drinking water, how can it be compared to eating to earn money.

Free herbal tea, appetizing to eat more, but also easy to win favor, after all, the post station is located in the middle of nowhere, and I am afraid of evil.

In addition, it is not easy to obtain meat in the store, so it is possible to give tea to those Orion mountain people who come and go, first, to help each other, and secondly, to collect meat materials, a little tactfully.

But on the whole, when this shopkeeper spends his heart to make money, he still has goodness in his heart.

After all, most of the people who drink and eat meat in the store are not mountain people who live in poverty.

No more gossip.

Soon, with Xiao Er's hands and feet, the food ordered by Zhou Yu was sent to the table, looking at Lin Zheng who was drooling instinctively, he didn't stop it, and the two started quickly.

However, Lin Zhengling's wisdom has just begun to recover, and when eating, he grabs it with his hands more, causing a few chuckles.

"Brother Jun, look at your talent, why is your brother like this, whether he was slightly injured, this mountain road is difficult to walk, there are many jackals and beasts, if you share some food, I can escort you one or two. "There was a cheerful but greedy hunter, smelling the aroma, and seeing the young man's kind face, he quipped.

"You foolish, and you want to take the opportunity to eat and drink, isn't this mountain plum tea enough for you to drink?" San'er scolded with a smile, and the latter grinned and didn't say anything.

"I'm sorry, although Brother Wang talked a little more, his heart is good. ”

"It's fine. Zhou Yu nodded.

Half an hour later, Zhou Yu and the others were full of wine and food, and after taking out a few ingots of silver and adding some dry food, they left the post station with Lin Zheng and headed south.

But not long after the two left, the face of the innkeeper changed.

I saw that in a certain pergola, two people from the rivers and lakes stood up, and their eyes seemed to inadvertently glance in the direction where Zhou Yu and the others left, and then left quickly.

Although they act secretly, the shopkeeper has been running a post station for many years, people come and go, and they don't make much money, but their eyesight is not bad.

"Uncle?" At this time, the third brother and the third brother came over and whispered, their eyes also looked at the two departing Jianghu people, and obviously saw some clues.

"Don't go, it's not your business. The shopkeeper's face changed, and he sternly admonished.

"But?" San'er remembered the demented teenager.

"Your father is just your son, don't think about being a hero. The shopkeeper said sharply, his voice very low, lest others find out.

"I'll take the path, faster, I'll be fine, I'll never be strong, if something happens to those two teenagers, I can help them bury the corpses, I can't let them be violent in the wilderness. San'er suddenly clutched his stomach and shouted loudly.

"Shopkeeper, I have a stomachache, I'll be back later. So saying, he grabbed some straw paper and ran towards the grass and trees not far behind the pergola.

"This bastard bastard. The shopkeeper scolded angrily, "I know that the lazy little bastard, if you don't come back within a stick of incense, Lao Tzu will deduct your wages." ”

......

"Wait...... Wait a minute. On the post road, Zhou Yu and Lin were walking with their backs and burying their heads, when suddenly there was a panting shout behind them.

"Is it you?" Zhou Yu turned around, and saw the shopkeeper named San'er in the store running out of breath, and when he turned around, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and exhaled with his waist.

"Little second brother, why did you come all the way?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised.

"Yes...... Someone might be trying to hurt you, hurry up...... Hurry up and run?" San'er hurriedly said after he came down.

"Who wants to harm us, and where do you want us to go?" Zhou Yu asked thoughtfully.
