"Go, Aaron. The bench was brought out in three ways, and the guests came, but there was no place to sit. ”

The old lady commanded Aaron who was sitting on a stool.

Aaron reluctantly stood up and said as he went:

"One has a pocket on it, and there are only two. ”

"Two of them should be brought out as well. I'm sorry, my little son is disobedient. ”

The old lady said to Shui Zhongyue and Nangong Xi who were standing at the door, and after speaking, she smiled honestly.

Ah Long walked to the left of the small door, went in and brought out two benches, put them two meters into the wooden door, and stood to the side.

"Thank you then. Nangong Xi expressed his gratitude to the two people in the house. He turned back to the three people under the eaves and said, "You all come in, it's windy outside." ”

The five mermaids entered the house, and everyone looked at it and found that the room was not big from the outside, but when they entered the house, the room was not small.

Sixty squares should be more than enough. From the left side of the wooden door, the owner divides the house into two with wooden boards, and the door to the left has no door panel, only one door frame, which is open next to the wooden door, and you can see the corner of the room on the left when you enter the door.

Looking through the doorway on the left, there are some miscellaneous items piled up, one pocket is bulging on a bench, and the others can't see what is piled up. It shows that Aaron didn't lie just now.

Behind the old lady and the earthen stove there was a bed with some animal skins and a few tattered clothes, and a quilt that was a little old.

Shui Zhongyue couldn't help frowning.

The four of them sat on a bench, Zhang Wangxi and his master Nangong Xi sat on one, Lu Zhengtong and Mo Xingxing sat on the other, and Shui Zhongyue walked for a day and stood outside the door for a long time, and he was not polite, and sat on the low stool that Ah Long had sat on just now.

"Aaron, vacate the table, put a few pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and let's eat together. ”

When the old lady saw that everyone had come in and sat down, she instructed Ah Long to prepare dishes and chopsticks for dinner.

Ah Long didn't squeak, took out a square table behind the old lady, and unfolded it in front of the five people.

It turned out to be a table that could be folded.

Ah Long only put five pairs of chopsticks on the table, and everyone looked at the table, wondering if Ah Long had made a mistake, or if he had any ideas, or maybe there were other arrangements.

Ah Long walked to the earthen stove and suddenly took the knife from the wall, and Mo Xingxing reached out and pressed the hilt of the sword.

Ah Long's action of taking the sharp knife was very quick, he took off the sharp knife of the ox ear, opened the lid of the iron pot, and the steaming heat of the master inside floated out, drifting straight into the nose, smelling this fragrance is also a pleasure.

He kept slashing the sharp knife of the cow's ears in the iron pot, and it turned out that he was using the sharp knife to cut the wild boar meat into small pieces, so that it was easy to eat.

It's just that his movements are fast, which startles everyone.

He scooped a pot of wild boar stewed potatoes in the iron pot and put it on the table, and suddenly, the room was full of the smell of smiling meat, which made several people drool, and they just wanted Ah Long to put the wine and rice on the table earlier.

"I hit a few catties of liquor for the first time, and there are still two catties left. I've been feeling unwell for the past few days and haven't drunk. Take it out, they are hungry and cold, and drink a few sips of ambiguous bodies first. ”

Ah Long put the sharp knife back in its place and said angrily:

"What liquor didn't you finish? That's because you didn't drink it. They have already finished drinking, but they haven't informed you. You forget, the two people who came yesterday, the day before yesterday. ”

"Oh oh, look at my memory. Those two are the monk and the thin man, they are also polite, seeing that our meal is ready, and they want to drink, so they rummage through the cabinets and find my remaining two catties of liquor and drink them all, I'm sorry, I'm sorry to slow you down. ”

The old lady pointed twice to the table and said:

"I'm sorry, you're going to die. Coarse tea and light rice, filling the stomach. You eat. ”

The four young men are also welcome, and their stomachs have been empty for a long time.

Nangong Xi did not serve the dishes and chopsticks, and said to the old lady:

"We ate your rations, what do you eat? ”

"Out of the way, out of the way. We are ready for two days of life. If you don't have enough to eat, you can eat something simple. Usually Ah Long goes out to hunt in the mountains, no one cooks, we all do it for two days at a time, enough to eat. It's not enough to eat, we still have a lot of noodles, and the next pot of noodles is enough. ”

As he spoke, Aaron handed the old lady half a bowl of rice, a few slices of pork on top, and a few pieces of stewed potatoes.

Aaron himself cut off the stewed wild boar trotters, grabbed them in his hands, and squatted at the door to gnaw on them with relish.

After dinner, everyone was in much better spirits, and the first thing to look around was, and it was Shui Zhongyue who wanted to find a place to sleep, and she wanted to ask several times, but she couldn't speak. People have already given them the best life hospitality, and they have to find a comfortable place to sleep, which is not realistic from the perspective of the environment.

Nangong Xi had been thinking about the monk and the thin man, and after the meal, he took the initiative to ask:

"Old man, I would like to inquire about the monk and the thin man, can you tell us more about what you know. ”

Aaron leaned against the door and gave his father a blank look, but did not speak.

The old lady clicked her cheeks a few times and said:

"Yesterday, or the day before yesterday......"

"The day before yesterday! I can't remember clearly, and I still have to say!" Ah Long, who was leaning against the door, said to his father.

"That was the day before yesterday. The afternoon before yesterday, a thin man came first, and he said that he was also passing by. We asked him what his name was, but he didn't answer, and after a while, we said his name was Zhou Fa. Extremely skinny.

"Not long after the thin man Zhou came, another person came, and the two of them greeted each other as soon as they came. The thin man called him Brother Ba, and the person who was called Brother Ba by the thin man at that time also said, 'Don't call it that'.

"Not long after I came, I said that I would not leave, and that I would have dinner at my place, and that if I had something to eat, they would give us money. We didn't ask for their money, I was scared when I saw that strange-looking monk.

"That thin man Zhou Fa is the most hateful, I see that we still have a leg of roe deer meat, which is a good thing that our mountain people here keep to eat during the New Year, but I didn't expect him to recognize it at a glance, and asked us to make it for them to eat, and he threw a wad of money on the table at that time.

"Forced by scoundrels, I asked Ah Long to braise the roe deer meat and make it for the two of them to eat. You don't know, the roe deer is very scarce now, and it is not easy to hit one.

"At the end of dinner, they gave us some money, saying that we had worked hard, and that in these two days, a few people would surely come after the two of them.

"Tell us not to receive these people, this is regarded as the cost of receiving those people, and the reception fee will be given to us first, telling us not to look for this money.

"We didn't believe it at the time, how could someone come to chase them in the deep mountains, we didn't expect that there was such a thing, and it was you who came to chase the two of them.

"We were worried that they would rest at my place for the night, but we didn't expect him to leave shortly after dinner. We are all very happy. Before leaving, let us tell you not to pursue, and if you continue to pursue, you will not return.

"Walking outside, the thin man surnamed Zhou walked in again and said, 'Be careful to remember what I told you just now, don't receive them, if you do, I will let you die together.' Before going out, he said that I would let my son Aaron give them a ride.

"With that, I took my son Aaron out. Now that I have received you, I don't know if they will come to us tonight or tomorrow to trouble us, and I dare not keep you, for fear that you will bring disaster to our family.

"I really look at you poor tonight, especially this girl, who is already hungry like that, so I ......"

After the old man finished speaking, he sighed deeply.
