In early summer, the verdant mountains are caressed in the warm sunshine, and the paved mountain roads are covered with yellow mud, and the pack horses carrying mountain goods are slowly walking down the mountain in the hands of the merchants.

Knowing what to know .....

The cicadas are singing one after another, and the tinkling copper bells come up from the stone road down the mountain, and among the pedestrians and traders passing by is a son in a moire white robe leading an old donkey with mottled hair and walking slowly, and there is a blind old man behind him.

It is probably guessed that the son of the mountain who came to visit the mountains and rivers with an old servant, only looked at it twice, and then stopped looking.

"Master, take a break, you've been gone for an hour, I'm afraid your body won't be able to stand it. ”

Wang Banblind followed up and whispered behind the donkey, wiped the sweat stains on his face, raised his finger and pointed to the small door of the bookshelf, and hurriedly added.

"Shigong can't stand it either. ”

"Count you to talk. In the compartment, the toad Taoist was dressed in a small short coat, and his webbed fingers wiped his wet face with a small juanpa, the compartment was stuffy, and the body temperature of the old donkey on the shelf was a little boring inside.

Picked up the cigarette stick and knocked on the small door, and shouted in Fayin: "Liangsheng, find a place to rest for a while, I am thirsty for the teacher." ”

Hum Ang hum~~

The old donkey tilted his neck as if to laugh at him, sneezed, and followed his master more happily, the shaky bookshelf dangling from its hips.

After a moment, a hand reached out and patted the old donkey's head, and Lu Liangsheng, who was walking on the side in front, turned his face sideways: "What donkey temper, go well!"

Subsequently, he also replied to Master's words.

"There is a tea stall in front, and I used to drink a bowl of herbal tea to rest, and Master is also breathable. ”

"Yes, yes, I think... Bah, I heard you!" Wang Ban blindly listened to the sideways face on tiptoe, in the footsteps of the mountain road spreading back and forth, more than ten zhang ahead, you could hear someone shouting, and the business traveler shouting for tea.

When the two of them passed by with a donkey, there happened to be a table of guests who had settled the bill, and the man wiped the table and saw the scholar and the old man who had placed the donkey, and came out happily to greet him, and helped to remove the bookshelf and put it next to the table that had just left.

"The two guest officers, sitting inside, sitting inside, this stall sour jujube herbal tea quenches your thirst, as well as cold cakes, garlic mixed with white meat, the taste is suitable, and the side dishes also have green onion tofu and green bean soup, all of which relieve fatigue on the way, and both of them order a taste of Ha Xian. ”

Lu Liangsheng invited Wang Banblind to sit down, sat on one side at random, opened the bookshelf, took out the master inside, and put it on the table.

"Okay, one for each. ”

Over there, seeing a big toad wearing a broken hexagram in the corner of the table, the guy was stunned, and the king on the side nudged him blindly, and stroked his head and beard and chuckled.

"Guy, go get busy, don't be weird. ”

"Oops. ”

The man looked away, answered twice in succession, wrote down the dishes, and said to the old man who had set up a stove in the corner of the stall, helped pass the firewood, and whispered in a low voice:

"Dad, you said that these rich boys, just take the lead in the old donkey to pretend to be elegant, and bring a toad, it doesn't look panicked, so big, and dress it, it's really weird. ”

"Mouthy. ”

Behind the stove, Lao Suo threw a bean shell and smashed it on his son's head, took two bowls of herbal tea and walked to the scholar's table, first set Lu Liangsheng, and then put the second bowl to the blind old man.

Guy's words, Lu Liangsheng naturally heard it, afraid of disturbing the other party's business, so he took the tea with a smile and said, "Old man, I'm a toad, I don't know if I disturbed the customers in the store?"

"Haha, the guest officer is too careful, no, no, drink tea and eat vegetables with peace of mind!"

Lao Suo smiled heartily, "The old man has been setting up a stall here for thirty or forty years, and I haven't seen anything, only the kid is making a fuss, and the guest officer doesn't mind it." ”

Lu Liangsheng also laughed, arched his hand towards him, and also turned around to the other three tables.

"Well, at this time, some people like to walk dogs and birds, and I prefer toads, and I hope you are not strange. ”

Most of the guests at the three tables over there are pedestrians and vendors passing by, and the people who go south and north are well-informed, and it is not uncommon to see a big toad on the table.

Someone returned the salute and laughed:

"It's okay, the world is vast, and when you meet and eat in a shed, who doesn't give it convenience, isn't it? Childe, you eat yours, we eat ours, who stipulates that toads can't be served? hahaha!"

These words caused the people around to laugh, and on the table, the toad Daoist who was coiled in a ball rolled his eyes, crawled to lie on the edge of the bowl and drank herbal tea.

"Ouch, that toad actually rolled its eyes!" "You can still crawl to drink water by yourself, Childe, do you sell this toad?" I bought it for two hundred yuan. ”

“..... Four hundred!"

"I'll give one or two! The toad has the meaning of attracting wealth, a few hundred texts, you are embarrassed to take it!"

The laughter in the tea shed was lively, so that the toad Taoist almost choked on a mouthful of water, puffed out his toad eyes, and stared at this group of rough men, who dared to tease the old man.....

Lu Liangsheng knew that these people were just talking about it, enlivening the atmosphere, and dealing with it casually, and the dishes over there were ready, so he brought them up one by one, and hurriedly grabbed a chopstick of white meat dipped in sauce and gave it to the master.

On the stove, the resting old man wiped his hands, sat down on the side, beat his legs and looked at the people laughing in the tea shop, the wrinkles on his old face piled up, and he laughed.

"Toads are not unusual, but such a big toad, it is rare, if the old man has a hundred taels, he is willing to buy it. ”

A table of guests took a sip of herbal tea, put it on the table and said with a smile:

"Old man, did you say this?"

"It's not easy for wild things to grow so big, psychic. The old man said, put away his legs, and let the man, his son, take a sip of water.

"How can you not know this truth when you go from south to north? The old man told you that there are also spiritual creatures in this mountain, but unfortunately ordinary people can't see it. ”

Lu Liangsheng, who was eating, stopped his chopsticks, raised his face, and showed a smile: "Shopkeeper, what does that spiritual thing look like?

The guests at the three tables were also aroused by Lao Suo, all of whom were wandering around, and listening to these strange things was the most relieving.

"yes, tell us about it. "What does that creature look like? But the beast is a spirit?"

"Isn't it still a beauty?" haha!"

Lao Su drank all the cold water, got up and put the stove down, shook his head and smiled: "What beauty, that's a snake, the old man has been setting up a stall here for many years, have you ever heard the strange things around you?"

"Strange thing?" someone thought for a moment and slapped the table: "When I went up the mountain, I heard the village below the mountain say that there was a big snake in this mountain, and the body was long, the tail was at the top of the mountain, the head was at the foot of the mountain, and it was not right to drink water by the river?"

"Yes, it's this snake!" said the old man, who walked past the stove and came to the middle of several tables of people, and came to be interested, pinching the tip of his beard, and squinting his eyes as if reminiscing.

"You don't know, they just heard that the old decay was seen with their own eyes, it was as long as it was not said, but it was more than ten zhang, and the sun shone down, ouch, the body was white and white, and the person who shot it couldn't open his eyes, and it was gone with a swish. ”

The breeze blew on the mountain road, and the light spots swaying through the old pine fell into the tea shop, Lu Liangsheng held the tea bowl to his mouth, closed his eyes and listened to the old man quietly.

Knowing what to know .....

The cicadas are annoying, and in the tea shop, everyone is holding chopsticks and tea bowls, listening to the stories told by Lao Suo, and gradually becoming engrossed.
