Chapter 74: Lishui Wharf
Although Ruyi's footsteps were open, his mouth was still saying, "How can we leave the stone alone." ”
The four of them entered Liyang County, followed the flow of people, and came to the most lively Jinfu Inn in the city, and sat down at the door, and the guys came over to greet them warmly: "A few guest officers, what do you want to eat? We have a first-class seafood banquet here." ”
Before she could answer, Ruyi saw that the female beggar had also followed, and when she was about to enter the door, she was stopped by the innkeeper, who pushed the beggar and drove her out: "You want rice flowers, where did you come from, don't come in, go out!"
The beggar was driven away, but he was not annoyed, and pointed to the four of Ruyi: "Young man, don't drive me, I have friends inside, these four people." ”
The guy looked back at the four well-dressed and radiant guests, and then looked at the sloppy beggar outside the door, whose face was covered with mud, was still a woman, except for the beggar, the five of them were all surprised, Liu Dianzong said in disgust: "If you want a flower child, you are a good woman, where will we know you?" Wu Yiming and Liao Birui also sneered.
The guy also wondered in his heart, how to see why he was not a person all the way, and impatiently pushed the beggar to kick her out, at this time, Ruyi behind him said: "Shopkeeper, since she said that she is a friend, you might as well let her in, this meal is counted in our account." ”
Liu Dianzong persuaded: "Ruyi, the rivers and lakes are sinister, these tricks are obviously here to eat and drink." ”
"It's okay, it's just the cost of a meal. Ruyi smiled, when she saw this female beggar, she remembered that she had wandered with her grandfather when she was a child, and her heart was sour.
The man had to let him go, and the beggar swaggered in, and when he saw four people sitting at a table, he did not come to give a salute, but one of them occupied an empty table, and he thought that the bench was not clean, and wiped it vigorously with his sleeve, and the man complained, "Don't wipe it, the mud on your sleeve has been rubbed off." ”
The four of them couldn't help laughing, and asked the guy for a few ordinary dishes, nothing more than tofu and vegetables, and the guy wrote them down one by one, and the beggar knocked on the table and shouted: "Man, let's order!"
"Okay, guest officer, what do you eat, is it the same as the one just now?"
The beggar brushed the hair from his forehead, revealing a dirty face, and scolded: "What do you say, those dishes are also eaten by people?
When the guy heard this, his head was clouded: "This, you-"
"Give it to her, I'll pay the bill. Still Ruyi said.
The man only does business, and he doesn't care about a lot, as long as someone pays, who is he not selling to? shouted: "Okay, serve a good seafood feast, these days, the beggar friends eat tofu and vegetables by themselves, and they have provided the beggars with big fish and meat." ”
The beggar cried out again: "Also, the old daughter is hot for a pot!"
The dishes of the four people were quickly served, but the beggar's seafood feast was really on for a while, fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs, fried and fried, a table was full, steaming, fragrant, the beggar drank his daughter's red, grabbed the dish with his hand, and sighed while eating, saying: "This is what people eat." ”
Liu Dianzong and the three of them ate tofu and vegetables, smelled the fragrance of vegetables on the adjacent table, and hated it in their hearts.
After eating, the man came to calculate the cost of the meal, and Ruyi paid the beggar for a table of meals, and almost used up all the plates she brought, which was as much as twenty taels, and in that year, twenty taels was enough for four people to eat and live for a few months.
This is not over, Liu Dianzong opened two rooms to the guys, and the beggar heard it and shouted: "I have no place to sleep at night, I also want a room." ”
Liu Dianzong was furious, stepped forward and pointed at the beggar's nose and scolded: "You crazy beggar, have you deceived us? Even if you eat a good meal that you can't eat in your life, you still want us to pay for your house?"
The beggar was not ashamed at all, and asked with a straight face, "That's what I meant, how about it?"
"Okay, give her a room. Ruyi satisfied the beggar's request for non-share.
"Ruyi, what are you doing here?" Liu Dianzong was very puzzled, Wu Yiming and Liao Birui also dissuaded Ruyi, but Ruyi still agreed to the beggar.
Liu Dianzong and the others were in front of everyone, and it was not good to do anything to a beggar, so they had to endure it.
Back in the room, Ruyi was still uneasy, always relieved in his heart, sitting at the table in a daze, Liao Birui sat silently with him, although the two of them walked all the way, but they did not have a heart-to-heart.
Not long after, on the west window of the moon, Liu Dianzong knocked on the door and came in, with one more thing in his hand, which was mysteriously handed to Ruyi, which turned out to be a string of rock sugar gourds.
"Dianzong, it's so late, where did you buy it?" Ruyi's face showed a long-lost smile, Liu Dianzong also gave Liao Birui a string, Liao Birui took it, thanked him, and went out to enjoy the moon with interest.
"No matter how late it is, as long as you want, I will buy it for you, Ruyi, don't worry about the stone, he is not a child, he will definitely take care of himself. Liu Dianzong looked at Zhang Ruyi with a smile, the Ruyi in his eyes was a delicate flower that had no choice in the world, blooming at any time.
Ruyi's face flushed with a girl's unique flush, and she bowed her head shyly and said, "Got it." "My heart was full of emotion, and I forgot about the stone for the time being.
Liu Dianzong and Ruyi's childhood sweethearts, grew up together in Lingyun Temple, Longhu Mountain, naturally there are endless topics, the two of them are happy, when it comes to the moon hanging corridor, only to be happy, Liu Dianzong reluctantly said goodbye, Liao Birui returned to the room, and rested.
The beggar next door did not sleep, but turned into a cloud of black gas, entered their room, rummaged through the packages of the four people, put them back as they were, slipped back, and slept until dawn.
The next morning, as soon as the sky was bright, Liu Dianzong and the four of them had already gotten up, calculated the room money, and went out, not waiting for the beggar, for fear that she would come with her again.
Before he reached the ferry, Liu Dianzong felt that the package had become much lighter, and when he touched the package, it was soft, and shouted: "It's not good, my money has been dropped!" Hurriedly opened the package, and sure enough, he pulled out a ball of brocade fox fur, and there was no trace of silver.
Liao Birui and Wu Yiming also hurriedly opened the package, and turned out an identical ball of fox fur, Wu Yiming threw away the fox fur, and wondered: "It's still silver in the morning, why did it change into fox fur in a blink of an eye?"
Zhang Ruyi didn't have to rummage through the package, because she had no money in the package, and after paying the beggar's meal yesterday, the money was spent.
Liao Birui picked up the fox fur and put it under her nose and sniffed it, and said, "I'm afraid we have met the fox demon, and the taste is very familiar, the fox demon has met us." ”
When Liu Dianzong heard this, he suddenly realized and said: "That beggar yesterday must be weird, let's go and find her." ”
