Chapter 17: Pigs

Back at the old cabbage inn, the old vegetable farmer had already prepared lunch and put it in the kitchen, and waited for the three of them to come back and eat.

"Hah, a big pot dish?

Erhei lifted the lid of the pot, scooped up a big bowl of boiled cabbage, picked up two steamed buns in one hand and ate them in one gulp.

"Have you noticed that the cabbage here is actually much better than that in our Guxiang Village?"

Su Yu'er picked up a piece of cabbage with chopsticks and put it in her mouth, and said with a sigh.

"Tianxuancheng is the imperial city of our Xuanwu Kingdom after all, and the cabbage in it is naturally not an ordinary cabbage!"

Erhei stuffed half a piece of steamed bread in his mouth and said vaguely.

"What is it not an ordinary cabbage? Is it grown up with gold?"

Lao Jiu raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Hey, don't say it, the cabbage in Xuancheng is still delicious this day, I see, the cabbage here is the king of cabbage!"

Erhei said with a laugh.

The three of them made trouble while eating, and after a while, a large pot of dishes was eaten, of course, Erhei ate the most.

"Hey, little fish, do you want to go and say hello to that pretty girl?"

Erhei stood on the stairs, patted Su Yu'er, who was walking in front, squinted and smiled.

"After all, people have helped you, and you should thank them well!"

Lao Jiu also smiled.

"Besides, how can you have a chance if you are not brave?

"That's right!"

Erhei and Lao Jiu nodded in a rare tacit understanding, and looked at Su Yu'er with a wicked smile.

"I'm speechless for you two..."

Su Yu'er glanced at the two of them, turned her head, and just saw the girl push open the door and walk out.

"But that's right, I should say thank you. ”

Su Yu'er thought like this, the girl had already come down from the upstairs, and it seemed that she wanted to eat in the kitchen.

"Well, hello girl..."

Su Yu'er hesitated, and when the girl in black passed by him, she opened her mouth and said to her.

"Baked cake boy, I advise you not to provoke me, I'm not a good person!"

The girl stopped, glanced at Su Yu'er, and said coldly.

"Uh... I just wanted to say thank you to you, thanks to you and me that day..."

"No need!

The girl was a little impatient, waved her hand to interrupt Su Yu'er's words, turned her head and walked past him towards the kitchen.

“......”

Su Yu'er looked at the black-clothed figure, scratching her head a little embarrassed, although she had long guessed that this strange girl had a bad temper, but she didn't expect it to be so difficult to speak.

"Heh, it looks like this guy is really hard to get along with. ”

Lao Jiu shook his head and said.

"Are all the women in this city so arrogant? they don't even have basic politeness, and Bai is so good-looking!"

Erhei sighed regretfully.

"Forget it, don't care about her, I've been shopping all morning, my feet are sore, hurry back to the house and rest for a while. ”

Su Yu'er waved her hand, no longer thinking about the strange girl in black, and looked at her room upstairs and said.

"I'm sleepy when I'm full, hey, let's go upstairs and take a nap!"

Erhei nodded approvingly, yawned and stretched, stepping on the creaking stairs to the upper floor.

Su Yu'er and Lao Jiu looked at each other and smiled, in addition to eating and sleeping every day, the small life was really unhappy.

"It's just..."

Lao Jiu said with a smile, but before he could finish speaking, a pleasant female voice sounded dissatisfiedly behind them.

"Are you pigs?"

The three of them looked back together, only to see the girl in black staring at them with a frown, her picturesque face full of anger and speechlessness.

"We?"

Erhei pointed to the three people on his side and asked with some puzzlement.

The girl in black snorted coldly, but did not speak again, turned her head and pushed open the door of the inn and walked out.

"She... Just called us pigs?"

Su Yu'er asked the two people around her in disbelief, the girl looked cold, she didn't want to talk to the three of them at all, how could she suddenly say such a nonsensical sentence?

"The old vegetable farmer is not here, do you think there is anyone else here?"

Lao Jiu covered his head and said with a wry smile, the old vegetable farmer went to work in the vegetable garden early, and now the whole old cabbage inn is just the three of them.

"Yes, but why?"

Su Yu'er thought wonderfully, and after a while, he suddenly thought of something, and looked up in the direction of the kitchen.

"I see..."

Su Yu'er shook her head with a smile.

"It's a shame..."

Lao Jiu saw Su Yu'er looking at the kitchen, and instantly understood the reason for the matter, and sighed a little speechlessly.

"What's wrong? Do you know why she called us pigs?"

Erhei asked with a puzzled expression.

"Three people have finished eating a pot of rice, you are not a pig and who is a pig?"

Lao Jiu patted Erhei's shoulder, turned his head and walked towards his room.

"If they don't have anything to eat, of course they get angry. ”

Su Yu'er smiled bitterly, patted Erhei's shoulder, and turned back to her room.

"Hey, that's what happened..."

Erhei scratched his head, looked at the backs of the two and shouted with some grievances.

"Is it a lot for three people to eat a pot? I haven't eaten enough yet, okay..."

"Pig!"

Lao Jiu turned around and shouted with a smile, and then slammed the door shut.

"You're a dead old man! You're a pig! You have the ability to open the door for me, hum~, hey, I'll go!"

Erhei, who was so angry that he banged on the door and scolded him, accidentally let out a pig cry, and hurriedly covered his mouth with both hands, for fear that the two people in the room would hear it.

"Hahaha, you're really a pig!"

Lao Jiu slapped the table in the room and laughed, even laughing out of tears.

"Erhei, don't quarrel with him, you should hurry up and take a nap!"

Su Yu'er couldn't help but laugh.

"You two stinky and shameless!"

Erhei scolded, but he was indeed a little sleepy, and after slamming the door of Lao Jiufang a few times to get angry, he twisted his body and walked towards his room.

The three of them spent two days in the old cabbage inn in this way, and in these two days, they inquired about a lot of interesting things, such as the old cabbage inn where they lived.

Chenxing Street, this is the largest vegetable market in the whole Tianxuan City, every morning when the sun just rises, many vegetable farmers come here to sell fresh vegetables with their own planting, the vegetables in the morning have just been dug out of the ground, each one is very fresh, and there are naturally not a few people who come to buy it in the morning. Therefore, on weekdays, this street is bustling with people early in the morning, and it will only be quieter at night.

And in such a downtown area, there is actually an inn.

Su Yu'er listened to the vegetable farmer who set up the stall talk about the old cabbage inn, and the vegetable farmer squinted, as if he was deeply reminiscing.

"It was when I was nine years old, my father took me to Morningstar Street to buy groceries, and it was also the day I saw the old inn for the first time, but I didn't expect that after so many years, it still hasn't closed down!"

The vegetable farmer pouted, looked at the dilapidated old cabbage inn with emotion and said.

No one knows when the Old Cabbage Inn opened, some say that the inn was moved here when Morningstar Street was first built, and others say that the inn existed here long before it was called Morningstar Street.

No one can remember the specific time of the existence of the Old Cabbage Inn, but even if it has not had a single guest to stay all year round, and it looks like it is about to go out of business, those vegetable vendors who buy vegetables on Morningstar Street are well aware of its existence.

Chenxing Street, also known as Old Cabbage Street in the mouths of vegetable farmers, seems to have become the symbol of this vegetable market at the end of the street.

Hearing this, Su Yu'er thought of the strange stone at the intersection of Chenxing Street, and couldn't help but be even more curious about this old cabbage inn.

"Tomorrow is the day of the Xuanwu Hall admissions exam, I'm so nervous!"

It was already late at night, and Su Yu'er sat by the window of the room and looked out at the vegetable garden behind the inn, where the green vegetables gently swayed their leaves in the wind under the moonlight.

"What's that?"

Suddenly, a small black shadow in the vegetable garden attracted Su Yu'er's attention, and he looked at the black shadow carefully and found that it was actually a person!!

"That's an old vegetable farmer, what is he doing in the vegetable garden so late without sleeping?"

Su Yu'er looked at the old vegetable farmer in the vegetable garden curiously, but the next moment, his eyes widened in shock!
