Stone Town is bathed in sunlight and is releasing the vicissitudes of old age to travelers. It is not the deposition of time, but the gift of the mountains and jungles.

Lu Qianyu stood on the deck, looking at the crowded and bustling dock, and had to change the superficial definition of Stone City before this.

The laity are blinded by hearsay, and the Stone City in Lu Qianyu's eyes is not a boring and quiet wilderness.

It is born in the shadow of the mountains and is full of natural vitality. Surrounded by dense forests, the Linjiang River rushes through the open space in front of the city. The houses on the shore are scattered. The streets are orderly and lush. The sailors' trumpets, the shouts of the traders, the frolic of the children, they all make up a great opera that originates from life.

At this time, large and small ships enter the harbor through the waterway and moor around the large ships. The sailors were busy on the ship, their swarthy arms reflecting the oil in the sun, the fishing nets drying on the masts emitting the smell of fish, everything was in order, and the orderly trajectory of life made it seem like a paradise.

Lu Qianyu stood beside the knife, and he kept muttering, "How can you master fairness?" He pulled Lu Qianyu's sleeve, "Big brother, will you master fairness?"

"Don't think about it. Lu Qianyu smiled and said, "Where have they gone?" Lu Qianyu saw the tip of the iceberg of Stone Town, and his mood was very happy, so he began to look on the big ship again, and found that the deck was empty, and only a few sailors were hurrying by carrying something.

"Oh. Knife screamed in a panic, and he said, "I almost forgot, Daddy asked you to find him." ”

"What are you looking for me?" Lu Qianyu asked puzzled

"They got off the boat early in the morning, I don't know. Knife shook his head. Then the two men moved from the big boat to the shore land.

Stones of various sizes, large and small, are paved on the pier to create a small square.

There were a large number of vendors gathered in the square, especially many fish sellers, and among the hawkers, there was no shortage of children, who stood behind the fish baskets and shouted, "Fresh fish, three pennies a piece." ”

Lu Qianyu had little interest in eating fish, so he began to observe the small square again.

The roads extending in all directions start from a small square, leading people to the center of the city like long snakes, and the knife chose one and walked over with Lu Qianyu.

Stepping on the ground, Lu Qianyu's heart suddenly calmed down a lot. Although he does not get seasick, it is inconvenient to move in the closed cabin of a large ship, and the boat is wobbly on the water, which is difficult to make people feel sure. Now, that sense of ups and downs is gone.

Lu Qianyu strode forward, his eyes glancing at the crowd and the surrounding street scene from time to time. This was the first time that Lu Qianyu walked out of Linzhou City and came to an unfamiliar realm. So it feels new to everything about Stone Town.

Stone Town, it's all stones, that's true.

Those are living stones, though.

The sound of rubbing on the stone road is like the whisper of a stone. The stone roofs, bathed in the glow of the sun, give the warmest welcome to travelers, and the lifelike stone sculptures on the roadside, each of which seem to have been brought to life by time.

At this time, he was passing by a teahouse, and there was an apple in his hand at some point, and he said while eating, "Big brother, the healing medicine on the ship is gone, and my father said that he will let me take you to buy some later." ”

Lu Qianyu looked at the teahouse, and he said, "I'm not busy, I'm tired." ”

Then he saw that the teahouse was also full of stones. Stone tables, stone chairs, walls made of stone, and stone carvings on the walls. Suddenly, the shopkeeper called the name of the shopkeeper in the teahouse, "Shi Bu is wrong, you are so fucking delayed, why don't you get out and send tea to the guests?"

Lu Qianyu smiled, the knife shook for a moment, and turned into the tea shop.

The guy named Shi Bu Su lifted the curtain in the back kitchen, poked his head out, held a stone tray, and muttered towards a stone table not far away.

The old knife sat in the corner by the window with a vigilant expression, his head twisted out of the window from time to time, and although he was holding a teacup in his hand, the tea was out of heat.

Beside him sat Atay, the six sons, and another man. The stranger caught Lu Qianyu's attention, but he was not sure if he was the person on the ship.

He has a wide angular face, an unclear beard on his chin, and his body is poignant.

The knife came to the old knife and shouted softly, "Daddy." The old knife turned his head and looked, and looked at Lu Qianyu, and the knife said, "Dad, why don't you drink tea?"

So, he took an embarrassed sip of tea and asked Lu Qianyu, "How is the injury?"

"Much better, I'm here... Lu Qianyu wanted to say that he was here to say goodbye, even if the big ship was going to dock in Stone City for a few days, he could continue to rely on the relief of the old knife to survive, however, this was not a legitimate reason for him to be negative, he was in a hurry to find Shi Weng and Langliu, and he didn't want to delay.

"Just in time. Atai saw Lu Qianyu and greeted him warmly, "The food on the ship is not ordinarily bad, so let's change the taste." He interrupted Lu Qianyu's words.

Lu Qianyu had no choice but to clench his fists and swallow his words back. "I'm really hungry," he said politely. ”

Then, he saw a few small dishes on the table, plus a large stack of white flour steamed buns, and a plate of bloodshot meat attracted his attention, which looked like it should be completely raw, and then he thought, how should this meat be eaten later?

At this time, Xiao Liu got up and pulled out the chair and said, "Brother Qianyu, sit here, Xiaodao sit next to your father." Don't stand stupidly, there's no time for me!"

Such a polite courtesy was very different from their previous tepid attitude, Lu Qianyu was stunned for a while, sat down flattered, twisted his body awkwardly a few times, and swayed with the teacup.

"Is the injury really nothing?" said Atai, full of concern, "if you need to, you can just mention it to us." He seemed to treat Lu Qianyu as his own. But Lu Qianyu doesn't think so, he, Atai and others are clearly people from two worlds, they are walking the rivers and lakes, and they are breaking into the rivers and lakes. They are going to Dongqiu, and they are going back to Linzhou. Between the two, they are not on the same line, and the so-called Tao is different, and they do not conspire with each other.

"Ah!" Lu Qianyu's voice contained many emotional changes such as surprise, confusion, and embarrassment, and he said, "Thanks to my care, it's much better." Stone Town is so lively. ”

"Lively?" said with a grin, "You mean them?" he gestured with his eyes.

Lu Qianyu saw that the dining area of the tea shop was quite large, with about a dozen tables, and even then there were people available. Among them, people in martial arts costumes occupy half of the seats. They chewed, pushed cups and cups, made noisy noises, and of course, some of them just lowered their heads and chatted, and their eyes were empty. Most of them carry all kinds of weapons on the table, and a few carry them on their backs or hang them around their waists.

Xiao Liu began to pour wine at this time, he handed over the cup to Lu Qianyu and said, "It's not necessarily a good thing, can you have a cup?"

"It's all about worrying!" Ah Tai said disdainfully, and then, he waved his hand to the shopkeeper, "Who's that, come over for a moment." ”

Lu Qianyu didn't have the habit of drinking in the morning, he followed Xiao Liu's words and said, "Sixth brother, thank you." But I can't drink alcohol. But how can we see good things and bad things?"

"Where there are martial arts people, there are rivers and lakes. Xiao Liu took a sip and continued, "Jianghu is a place of strife, and I hate strife. By the way, you're hurt, and drinking alcohol is harmful, so take care of yourself, you're welcome. ”

"Hurry up and eat your meal. Atai said.

"I want to eat with peace of mind. Xiao Liu said that he saw the shopkeeper running over.

The shopkeeper was wearing a gray linen dress with a yellow ribbon tied around his waist, and he bent his waist and asked, "Guest officer, what are your orders?"

At this time, the old knife suddenly opened his mouth, and he said, "Don't be nervous, the food is very fragrant, I just have something to trouble the little brother." As he spoke, he took out a piece of broken silver, quietly slipped it into his hand, and patted his wrist.

The guy was stunned for a moment, a smile appeared on his face, and calmly tucked the money in the ribbon.

"Tell me something!" the man quickly looked at the people at the table, and he lowered his voice to a very low voice, "Isn't it your first time in Stone Town?"

Lu Qianyu lowered his head to eat and did not participate in it. He broke open a steamed bun and gave half of it to a knife. So, the two of them took care of themselves and had a good time. Except for their floating objects, the strange face seems to have only food in its eyes, revealing a relaxed look that does not care about itself.

However, next, what happened almost ruined Lu Qianyu's three views.

The strange face was eating raw meat from a plate, and he had just torn off a piece of it, chewing it with his mouth closed, blood running down his lips and the corners of his mouth, much like a mudslide sliding from the top of a mountain. The cheeks moved about seven or eight times, his throat moved, swallowed, then wiped the blood on his lips, drank the wine in the glass, and then smacked his mouth, frowned and swallowed.

Lu Qianyu looked at him swallowing, as if he was a greedy and meat-eating monster.

First of all, raw meat, that taste Lu Qianyu has never tasted, but it must be uncomfortable, right? Then there is wine, which may not be in line with his taste.

The strange face also seemed to notice that Lu Qianyu was peeking at him, so he cast a lightning gaze at him.

Lu Qianyu hurriedly lowered his head and continued to nibble on steamed buns obscenely, after all, it is very impolite to stare at others, and he always has to behave openly when he goes out.

"Do you want meat?" said the strange face as he pushed the plate over the plate, his tone polite, "I like to eat this freshly cut beef tenderloin, it feels so tender." ”

"Thank you. Lu Qianyu hesitated, his arm stiffened, stretched out his chopsticks to pick and choose from the plate, and finally took the smallest piece.

He didn't want to do that, he hated eating raw food.

He felt that eating raw meat was not fundamentally different from the beasts of the jungle. But the beast is called a beast in another way, and man is not a beast, so he has to eat cooked meat to distinguish himself from the animal. It's not that he's metaphorical for a strange face being a beast, he's just wondering, why do people eat raw meat like animals?

Probably because he had never eaten it, and people were curious creatures, even more curious about those grotesque things than cats, so he agreed to eat raw meat like animals.

The strange face grinned, it was not a kind smile. At least, Lu Qianyu didn't feel any temperature, he said, "Eat it, there will be unexpected surprises." ”

Is he laughing at himself? Not really!

Lu Qianyu always felt weird, and thought, "Who is he sacred?"

At this point, he took it upon himself to take a bite of the beef. Blood first stained the lips with vermilion. Then the rich smell of blood lingered in his mouth. The beef greeted its teeth unkindly with a hint of coldness, and his teeth began to resist. However, Lu Qianyu still commanded his teeth to bite down, nausea turned in his stomach, and protested through his throat, Lu Qianyu tugged at his neck, trying to calm its impatience. Then, with his eyes closed, with great courage, he swallowed a mass of unknown substance that could not be chewed.

When he controlled his tears and slowly raised his head, he saw that the man's smile was even brighter than just now, and this time there was a little warmth.

"How?" he asked.

"Yay. Lu Qianyu said.

"So, another piece?" Without waiting for Lu Qianyu to refuse, the strange face picked up a piece of beef and put it in his bowl.

"Great!" Lu Qianyu smiled lightly, the self-righteous appearance of the unfamiliar face made him a little angry, if he hadn't been cocooned, he would have been angry.

"You have to taste it slowly to feel the essence of the beef being slowly shredded between your teeth. The strange face smiled, and his words seemed to be issued orders.

So, Lu Qianyu held the beef high and said with a smile, "True meaning, I'm here." "He deliberately acted so calmly to show that nothing could disgrace him.

Young Master Lu's dignity was eaten in his stomach along with the raw meat!

"The smell of blood is unpleasant, and it will make you sick at first. The strange face was talking to himself, regardless of Lu Qianyu's complicated expression. He held a large chunk of the cow in front of him, licked his lips and said, "Still, you have to believe that blood will impress you with this." You'll see the wildness spreading rapidly through your body, creating a huge amount of energy, and that's the most important thing I love about raw beef. ”

"Yay. Lu Qianyu wiped his mouth and said, "Can you bring me another piece?"

"Wonderful!" said the man, "take them all." ”

The first two times, Lu Qianyu really didn't have the beauty of eating raw beef, and even had the idea of never touching beef again. However, he began to like the taste slowly. Raw beef is tough and fun to chew. The smell of blood in the saliva mixture filled his taste buds, and he didn't realize that the blood in his body also accelerated the flow of blood, keeping his brain optimally awake. And the beef arrives in the stomach, providing a real feeling of fullness. Lu Qianyu burped and put down his chopsticks.

During this period, his ears were not idle, and he listened carefully to the conversation between Lao Dao and the shopkeeper.

"Stone Town, in my impression, has always been a prosperous treasure land, as long as the people who live on the Linjiang River, it is indispensable to settle here, now I see, it is really lively. The old knife said with an inconsequential sigh.

Xiao Er was very smart, and when he heard the sound of the old knife, he pursed his lips and said with a smile, "It's really strange." These people don't know where they came from. ”

"Is it too peaceful?" the old knife leaned forward and approached Xiao Er, "There was no chaos?"

"Not really!" the guy smiled, "It's the girls in the green building, who are crying and howling these nights." ”

"Huh. Atai glanced at the shopkeeper obscenely, and there was a light in his eyes, "Where is the Qinglou?"

"Go straight out, turn left, then meet a boat rental company, turn right, go straight, there are two peach trees in front of the door. The shopkeeper said slyly.

The old knife sighed, and he said, "You can go and get busy." ”

The second boy of the "Haole" shop happily patted the ribbon around his waist, and he said, "If you need help, you can find me." ”

Turning his head, the old knife said to Atai, "What do you think?"

Xiao Liu also came up at this time, and he said, "The two peach trees in front of the Qinglou... Peach. He winked at Ah Tai and asked, "Damn, before the peach tree, turning left and right is like going around a maze, do you hear me?"

Atai shook his head, "I didn't hear me. ”

"You fuck you!" Xiao Liu scolded.

"Second brother. Ah Tai twisted his head to the strange face, so Lu Qianyu knew that he was called the second brother.

Whose second brother?

Why the second brother and not the third brother?

How old is this year?

Who are they?

Many questions swirled in Lu Qianyu's head, and Lu Qianyu was not surprised that he was nosy, everything was caused by raw beef.

The second brother was leaning back on the chair at the moment, touching his round belly contentedly, his eyes narrowed into a slit, and he said, "I'm comfortable eating." ”

"This place is not good for long. Atai said. As a result, a fog rose in Lu Qianyu's heart, and he couldn't figure out why Atai said that it was not appropriate to stay here for a long time?

"Daddy!" said to him, "What the hell is it, it's not cooked." ”
