To help, or not to help?

Ning Caichen was full of embarrassment, although he didn't mean to, but the shopkeeper was indeed injured by him, so he should help him, but he was afraid that he would hurt the shopkeeper again because of his carelessness, so he didn't dare to easily step forward to help.

He was still hesitating here, but he saw that the shopkeeper on the ground couldn't bear the pain on his body, and shouted loudly to the guys: "Ah Gen, Ah Shui, don't you see your shopkeeper's injury, don't you hurry up and help me, one by one, don't you want to do it!"

"Yes, shopkeeper, here we are. ”

When Ah Gen and Ah Shui heard this, they hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to support their boss, Ning Caichen saw this, and hurriedly followed: "Shopkeeper, I will also help you!" At this time, he had already made a choice in his heart, as a scholar, he must be responsible for what he did!

It's just that he wanted to be responsible, but the shopkeeper was startled, and when he heard Ning Caichen's words, he saw that Ning Caichen was about to come forward to help him again, and the shopkeeper hurriedly shouted: "No! I don't need your help, you ......... Don't come here!"

When Ning Caichen heard this, he subconsciously stopped, but he didn't give up, and said with great sincerity: "Don't worry, shopkeeper, I will be very careful this time, and I will definitely not hurt you again." ”

"Really?"

The shopkeeper's fox asked.

"Of course it's true!"

Ning Caichen replied sincerely: "Don't worry, I will definitely be very careful." As he spoke, he slowly stretched out his hand, but he touched the corner of the table in a panic, and he subconsciously exerted his strength, only to hear a crisp sound of "click", and the table actually cracked open for him.

"This .........."

Seeing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but widen his eyes, and he couldn't help but gasp in his mouth, especially when he thought that he almost agreed to let Ning Caichen help him, his face turned green, and at that moment, he hurriedly said in his mouth: "You........ Don't come here, I don't need your help, I don't need your help when I die. ”

Ning Caichen said: "How can this be done? You were injured by me, I must help you, don't worry, it is my responsibility, I will definitely be responsible." ”

"No, no. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "I don't need you to be responsible, you can do it, stand there and don't come over, okay?" As he spoke, he seemed to remember something, and hurriedly said: "Aren't you here to ask for an account?

"This .......... Not really, right?"

Ning Caichen said with some hesitation: "The shopkeeper is injured now, and it is because I am injured, how can I collect debts from you at this time?"

"Yes, yes, of course. ”

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "As the saying goes, it is natural to repay debts, what I hate the most is debts, you settle the account now, I will pay back now, immediately, immediately!"

"Oh well. ”

Seeing that the shopkeeper was so anxious, Ning Caichen had no choice but to say: "Although the account book was wet by the rain, I still remember the content on it, Fenglai Inn owes a total of seventy taels of silver to the treasure silver number. ”

"Seventy taels, right, I'll pay it back, I'll pay it back. ”

How much money do you owe, can you still not know, the shopkeeper listened to Ning Caichen's account, and there was no mistake, and immediately beckoned Ah Gen and Ah Shui to help him up, and went to the counter to take seventy taels of silver and put it on the counter, before he said to Ning Caichen: "You order, the number is right?"

"Okay. ”

Ning Caichen hurriedly stepped forward, counted the silver on the counter, and responded with a smile: "Shopkeeper, seventy taels of silver, not a lot at all, when I re-ink the account book, I will help you with the account immediately." ”

"In that case, then please go, our Fenglai Inn can't afford your big Buddha. ”

As soon as the shopkeeper heard that he owed the debt, he immediately didn't say a word, and was about to send off the guest, he was stunned when he saw Ning Caichen now, afraid that Ning Caichen would stay, and he would be harmed sooner or later!

"This ......... Okay, then Xiaosheng will leave first. ”

Ning Caichen had no choice but to exit the inn, and when he arrived at the door of the inn, he saw Lin Pingzhi, who was still waiting for him, and couldn't help scratching his head and saying with a wry smile: "Brother Lin, it seems that we have to go and find a new inn so that I can invite you to drink." ”

"It doesn't matter. ”

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, he immediately waved his hand, and said with a nonchalant smile: "I have always been a casual person, as long as I have wine to drink, I can go anywhere." ”

"Thank you Brother Lin for your understanding. ”

Ning Caichen bowed his hand and stood on the street and looked around, but saw that there seemed to be only a restaurant in Fenglai Inn nearby, so he had to take Lin Pingzhi forward, looking for it while walking, but he first came to Nanguo Town, he was unfamiliar with the place, and it was getting late.

"Are you two looking for an inn?"

The young man was dressed in a white suit, his appearance was handsome, and there was a smile as bright as the sun on his face, "I remember that the biggest inn in the town is the Fenglai Inn, which is on the street at the entrance of the town, so it should be easy to find." ”

"Forehead ........."

When Ning Caichen heard this, an embarrassed smile couldn't help but appear on his face, and when Lin Pingzhi saw this, he had to answer on his behalf: "We have some problems with the owner of Fenglai Inn, so, you know.........."

"I understand!"

The young man in white said with a smile: "It should be the first time you have come to Nanguo Town, in fact, I am also here for the first time, but I came a few days earlier than you, so I am quite familiar with this place, I know an inn, although it is not as big as Fenglai Inn, but it is not bad, I will take you there." ”

Ning Caichen was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "In this way, then thank you to this brother." While the three of them were walking, he seemed to remember something, so he asked with a smile: "Xiaosheng 'Ning Caichen', this is 'Brother Lin', the word 'Pingzhi', I don't know the name of Brother Taigao?"

"I don't dare to be a big name with a high surname, my name is 'Zhuge Liuyun', I am an authentic disciple of Xuanxin, you can call me 'Liuyun'. ”

The young man in white replied with a smile: "Looking at your appearance, you should be a scholar, right? I have always admired you as a learned person." ”

"Really?"

Ning Caichen smiled dryly: "It's a shame to say that although Xiaosheng has read a few books, he is at best a poor and sour talent, and he is not a learned person, but Brother Lin, who is well-informed and knowledgeable." ”

"Where. ”

Hearing Ning Caichen praise himself, Lin Pingzhi immediately smiled warmly: "I just read a few more books and walked a little more, and I don't deserve the word 'knowledgeable'." ”

Zhuge Liuyun couldn't help scratching his head and laughing when he saw Ning Caichen and Lin Ping's words, and said, "Okay, okay, I know that you two are both scholars, so it's better to be like this, when you get to the inn, I will invite you to drink." As he spoke, he pointed to the place not far ahead and said, "Look, that's the inn I'm talking about, it's here." ”

Lin Pingzhi and Ning Caichen raised their eyes, and saw that there was a Yuanlai Inn next to the street dozens of steps away, which was slightly smaller in scale than Fenglai Inn and slightly simpler in layout, but there were no fewer guests.

The three of them entered the inn, and immediately a guy came up to greet them, and first led Lin Pingzhi and Ning Caichen to the counter to book a room, and at this time, they knew that Zhuge Liuyun was also living here now.

After booking a guest room, the three of them went up to the second floor and found a place to sit by the window, Zhuge Liuyun lived here for a few days, so he was quite familiar with this place, and ordered a few kinds of wine and food when he opened his mouth, and emphasized that he let Xiao Er have a jar of good wine.

After a while, as soon as the wine and food were delivered, Zhuge Liuyun took the wine jar, opened the mud seal, and introduced with a smile: "Let me tell you, although this Yuanlai Inn is not as big as Fenglai Inn in Nanguo Town, it is more famous than Fenglai Inn in Nanguo Town, and the reason is in this wine, which is an authentic daughter red, which is rare." ”

"Oh?"

When Lin Pingzhi heard this, he saw that Zhuge Liuyun had opened the mud seal, and the rich aroma of wine wafted out, and he became interested, and said with a smile in his mouth: "Then I'll have to drink a few more glasses later." ”

"Drink more, be sure to drink more!"

Zhuge Liuyun also smiled and said: "It's rare to meet by fate, and the two of us are even more familiar at first sight, how can we be worthy of the fate between us if we don't drink a few more glasses." As he spoke, he held the wine jar, filled all the three wine glasses in front of him, and handed one cup to Lin Pingzhi and Ning Caichen respectively.

"Well said!"

When Ning Caichen heard this, he took the wine glass, and couldn't help but praise it in his mouth: "It seems that Brother Liuyun is also a person of temperament, as the so-called wine is less than a thousand glasses of confidants, then we will have a good drink today, and if we don't get drunk, we won't return!"

"If you don't get drunk, you won't go home!"

Lin Pingzhi and Zhuge Liuyun also raised the wine glasses in their hands in unison, the three of them touched the glasses, raised their heads and drank them all, and then put down the empty glasses in their hands together, glanced at each other, looked at each other and smiled, the friendship between men is sometimes so simple, in a glass of wine............
