Walk to the backyard, drive away the three ducks, just see a little red, plum blossoms.

You Lan kicked with a wicked smile, scared away the three little yellow ducks fed by Tang Millet under the plum tree, reached out to pull the plum branch, and looked at the bud with a novel gaze.

Jiuquan City, located on the edge of the Gobi, is not without grass, but there is not much vegetation.

In the Longmen Inn, three trees were planted in the backyard, one was a peach tree planted by Tang millet, one was a plum tree planted by Youlan, and one was a laurel tree planted by Wu Song.

Zishi Street originates from the county government, from north to south, and the Longmen Inn is the outermost store. Beyond that, you're out of the city.

Jiuquan, a place where soldiers have fought for since ancient times, the city walls are tall and heavy, and if you live here, you are not afraid of groups of bandits to make trouble. It's just that the officials who often come to fight the autumn wind are also annoying.

The inn has a three-story old building, and there is a small tiled house in the small courtyard to the north. The side of the tiled house was full of chopped firewood.

The tile house became the kitchen of the inn, where Tang millet was fried and fried on weekdays. At this time, Chef Tang was turning the spoon, and there was a clanging sound in the kitchen from time to time.

The inn business is not good, it is dismal, there is no need to hire workers, and the three brothers and sisters have a clear division of labor.

In addition to chopping firewood every day, Wu Song carried a pair of iron poles and went to the Qingshui River three miles away to fetch water. There are two wells in the county, one belongs to the county government and the other belongs to thousands of households, but they are not available to the common people.

Why did Wu Song use an iron pole to carry water? Because two cylinders hung from both ends of his pole.

The flat burden of bamboo and wood can't withstand the strength of thousands of catties.

There is a shortage of water here, so everyone goes to the Qingshui River to fetch water, some people hire men who carry water, and some people carry water to walk the streets and alleys, shouting and selling. Several widows' families in the county spend money to buy water.

The third brother went to carry the water again, Tang Xiaomi was struggling to shake the spoon, and the smoke was billowing in the kitchen, and it seemed that this girl was choking and coughing again. The two loyal dogs squatted at the door, snorting sharply from time to time, begging Sister Tang to throw out a bone. But Sister Tang is very busy today and has no time to take care of them.

Everyone is very busy, but Yulan is very relaxed, except for entertaining guests is collecting accounts, but her abacus has not been fired once in a few days.

Tang Xiaomi finished cooking a dish, put them into three white porcelain plates, shouted to Youlan, and continued to prepare the second dish.

Yulan took the dish and brought it to the guests.

Today, for the first time, there are three tables of guests, to be specific, three people, one person and one table.

They are all dressed in rivers and lakes, with knives hanging from their waists, their expressions are serious and unsmiling, and they are like gold when they speak.

The three of them sat in three corners, one by the window in the northeast corner, and as soon as he walked in, he sat there, looking at the pedestrians outside the window, and said nothing;

The second man, as soon as he walked in, sat in the southwest corner, where he was also by the window, and there was only an alley opposite, and there was no one, but he still looked out the window, and said nothing;

The third man, as soon as he walked in, sat down in the southwest corner, where there were no windows, and he lowered his head and looked at his feet, and said nothing.

Yulan beckoned to them, but they ignored them, and the target walked precisely to the three corners, like three dumb people.

Holding the menu in his hand, Youlan asked earnestly from table to table, "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?" The three of them answered almost identically: "Two dishes at random, a pot of burning knives." ”

Oh, it turned out not to be dumb.

Such guests are best dealt with, make two pots of dishes, and send them all.

Youlan Xizi held the dinner plate, delivered the dishes one by one, and greeted the guests sweetly with her small mouth, but these three people were like three blind people, and they didn't look at her, and they were unmoved by the peerless face of the white blind.

After the first course was delivered, she walked out the back door, the smile on her face completely gone.

Went straight to the kitchen, threw the plate on the kitchen stove with an unhappy face, and made a "clang" sound.

"Can't you just tap it?" Tang Xiaomi didn't know what Youlan was crazy about, so he said in an unkind tone.

"Three wooden men!" Yulan whispered hatefully. "Sister, who has a beautiful face and a moon-like appearance, shouldn't she just stare at her when she sees her? Three blind men, one looking at the street, one looking at the alley, and the other only looking at the surface of his own feet. You say, are they three pieces of wood?"

"I can't say, maybe it's still three eunuchs. ”

"you. Yulan raised her sleeves and walked out, and the two dogs stood in the way of the door, and she kicked angrily.

"Wang!" Erha was kicked on the heel, quickly got up, looked at Youlan in a daze, and shouted twice.

Rhubarb is not as ignorant as Erha, so he quickly hid to the side, looking flattering.

"Hey, you stupid dog, who are you biting?" he leaned down and picked up a small rock.

Two Haza's legs ran away.

"Silly dog, like your master, stunned. ”

About two quarters of an hour later, Tang Xiaomi's busy work was over, and Wu Song also returned.

The biggest feature of the Dragon Gate Inn is that there is more water and firewood, which is the credit of Wu Song of the Han Dynasty.

Others regard chopping wood and carrying water as a burden, but in his opinion, it is exercising internal strength. It is precisely because of his daily persistence that he has made great progress. A hard kung fu practiced horizontally, invulnerable, and infinitely powerful.

When cooking for the three tables of guests, Tang Xiaomi left some, which was the dish for the three of them for dinner.

The third brother is super eating, so he specially steamed a pot of steamed buns for him and cooked a pot of rice.

The guests hadn't left yet, and they couldn't serve their meals, so they sat in the hall and waited.

Shilan sat behind the counter, tapping on the abacus, her face was full of displeasure, and muttered in a low voice: "Three weirdos, if you don't leave after eating, what are you waiting for? What's the matter, you can't pay the bill?"

It was getting dark, and the three of them didn't leave.

Those sitting in the northeast corner are still looking out the window, those in the southwest corner are still looking at the alley, and those in the southeast corner are still looking down at the upper of their shoes.

In the northwest corner of the inn hall is a bathroom and a staircase, where Tang Mi is bathing two large dogs.

God, it's completely dark.

"Three heroes, what do you mean?" Wu Song stood up, hugged his fists and said, "It's almost curfew, and the shop is about to close." ”

The three of them are still the same, what they should look at, just don't look at Wu Song.

Seeing this, Youlan's little leopard had a temper attack, slapped the table and said, "Hey, are you three deaf?"

Just when Youlan was angry, suddenly a one-eyed man walked in at the door, this big man, who was one meter nine tall, had broad shoulders, walked in the wind, and held a black sheath steel knife in his hand. Looking at his mental outlook, he knows that he is not a good person.

Strode to the hall and stood in front of Wu Song, who was half a head shorter than Wu Song.

Slightly embarrassing.

took a step back, coughed lightly, and hugged his fists and said: "The silk in Huangsha Village, Xiamane Mountain, nicknamed Zhang Hanshan, the brothers of the rivers and lakes can afford it, and they drink the one-eyed thunderbolt knife." I don't know the three, have you ever heard of the name of the Sprinkle family?"

"I haven't heard of it. Yulan sat down and cocked Erlang's legs, "What kind of beard is not known to us." What the hell are you going on, just say it. ”

"Hurry up!" The one-eyed thunderbolt was already angry in his heart, feeling that he was too faceless today, but he could hold it emotionally, and said loudly: "I am here, there is nothing else, I just want to tell you that I love you." ”

"Poof!" Yulan almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, "There's something wrong with you, right?"

"No problem. Zhang Hanshan shook his head and said: "We Mingren don't do dark things. Love is love, love is not good, love is so bad that you can't sleep. Suddenly pulled out the waist knife.

"What are you going to do?" Wu Song took a step forward, blocking his two younger sisters, his fists clenched. If this kid dares to take a step forward, Wu Song's fist will inevitably make his head bloom.

At the same time, Yulan Tang Xiaomi had already hid behind Wu Song.

At the moment of the big enemy, the three of them had their own luck, a golden dragon hovered on Tang Xiaomi's wrist, and a sharp knife in Youlan's palm faintly bloomed with cold light and was ready to attack.

Zhang Hanshan smiled and touched the table in front of him, this table is really a good wood, if you are not mistaken, but the precious Huanghuali, the table top is one zhang long, three feet wide, and two inches thick, which is the most valuable object in this inn.

With a "quack", Zhang Hanshan inserted the knife into the tabletop, and this time, the three-foot-long knife was inserted into the tabletop one foot.

With so much strength and strong internal strength, Zhang Hanshan couldn't help but be proud.

"Hehehe!" Zhang Hanshan smiled evilly and said: "You three, whoever can pull out this knife, I will pay you twenty taels of silver; if you can't pull it out, Miss Lan will go with me, go to Horsehair Mountain, and from now on eat and drink spicy food, and be the lady of the village." ”

With that, he clasped his hands in front of his chest, and his face was full of pride.

Wu Song stretched out a finger and flicked it on the back of the knife, and with a "bell", the half-inch-thick iron knife actually snapped.

Wu Song asked, "Do you still need to pull it out?"

"......" Zhang Hanshan glared at him with one eye, and immediately disappeared.

Good is embarrassing.

took out twenty taels of silver from his pocket, put it on the table, and said, "I confessed it today, but I will not give up, on the fifteenth day of the lunar month, I will lead sixteen brothers to rob relatives." You have a kind, wait for me here. He turned around and walked to the door, stroked his hair, put on a cool pose, stretched out a finger, pointed at Youlan and said, "Beauty, I'm going to condemn you." ”

"Asi! stinky shameless!" Youlan ran to the door and scolded, then ran back, lying on the table and crying: "Oh, my Huanghuali, my heart, this is snatched from the auction house, for it, I and the Wang Pozi of Dongjie and the Huang Laobuar of Nanjie have reached fifty taels of silver, and I feel sorry for me!"

She wailed and wept like a mourner.

"Oh, hey, it's almost done. Tang Xiaomi clapped his hands and sat down.

Yulan was still crying, slapping the table and kicking his thighs.

Tang Xiaomi narrowed her eyes and said, "Twenty taels are for you." ”

"That's what you said. Yulan suddenly stopped crying, grabbed the silver and left, turning the stairs on the second floor, snickering. He looked downstairs and suddenly shouted in confusion, "Alas, what about the three men?"

"Ah, I didn't pay attention either. Tang Xiaomi exclaimed.

"It turned out to be three masters, and when did they leave, I didn't even see it. Wu Song suddenly felt a chill down his spine.
