Chapter 17: Aconitum Town

Although it is far away from a mountain, but the lace news of the trapped dragon division in Xianjin City is also spread in Wutou Town, there is a restaurant in this small Wutou Town, called Jianghu Building, the surname of Hu shopkeeper is Hu, called Hu Zhong, the restaurant faces the street, a lake, there is no Jianghu Lou a long time ago, there is no small lake on the side of this Jianghu Building, speaking of the origin of this Jianghu Lou, the 50-year-old Hu shopkeeper always mysteriously talks about a secret of their ancestors, a long time ago, Hu Shopkeeper's house is surrounded by four walls, how much wind blows in from the main entrance, how big the wind blows out again, and they don't even have the back doorBut after his ancestor had a strange dream, everything began to change, one night, his ancestor dreamed of a Taoist priest, usually his ancestor because of his humble position, never dared to talk to a Taoist priest, not because in the dream or something, that night he actually talked to the Taoist priest.

He asked the Taoist priest: "How many taels do you usually earn, how much food do you eat?" ”

The Taoist priest actually replied to him: "I don't earn money, and I don't eat." ”

His ancestors pretended to be broad: "If you don't have money to eat, you can't afford to eat, and the poor Taoist priest still wants to pretend that sour Confucianism, but fortunately, you met me today, I am the richest tenant in Wutou Town, but you can eat a full amount of rice, it is all high-quality rice, a big bowl of medie, with my fist so big, you and I have a fate today, I will give you a great favor, add a pickled cowpea to you, such an end of rice, such a clip of cowpea, I think the gods in the sky are just such a rich life." ”

The Taoist priest smiled and leaned back: "The old man is really a generous man, I'm sure the gods in the sky will definitely not be able to live such a rich life." ”

The first time my husband blew such a big cow, his heart was already empty, but he didn't expect this cow to really blow it, his cheeks were red, and his heart was full of joy.

The Taoist priest straightened his robe and bowed to his father-in-law: "Thank you for my dream and my great confusion about the way of heaven, but I have no long things, so I can only give the old man a bowl of water." ”

As he spoke, the Taoist priest took out a bowl of water from his arms.

The old man muttered in his heart: What is not good for the Taoist priest to send, he starves by drinking water on weekdays, and you can throw me a dead mouse casually, I am grateful to you. But seeing that this is the first friend to listen to his bragging, the old man just smiled to pick it up, anyway, when he got home, he said that the housekeeper of the family went to the field to cut rice, and there was no rice for the time being, and then asked him to drink water.

When the old man's hand was about to touch the bowl, the Taoist priest's hand was shaken, and a bowl of water was sprinkled at his feet.

After that night, in the gutter behind the old man's house, a spring came out inexplicably, the spring water was clear and sweet, all year round, and slowly became a small pond, the old man's family regarded it as a treasure, because there was really no other decent treasure at home, the whole family waited for this small pond day and night, and slowly there were fish in the pond, the old man began to rely on these fish to improve the life of the family, and slowly became rich, several generations down, to the Hu shopkeeper's generation already had a decent restaurant, and the small pond was also expanded into a small lake。

Whenever he finished talking about this strange thing, the shopkeeper Hu always said: "The ancestors are virtuous people, otherwise how could there be immortals to help our family?"

On this day, the shopkeeper of Jianghulou was sitting upstairs drinking tea and the sun, the sun made his slightly round face red, this Jianghulou is the family property accumulated by their ancestors for several generations, his father said before he died, if he dared to defeat this restaurant, his father would pull him down as soon as possible to make amends with his ancestors, he did not dare to be careless at all, he looked at a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy who had just moved in front of the stage wearing a green shirt and holding a white fan, and sighed that so many people came and went from south to north, this son's demeanor, but sighed that the dragon and phoenix in the people, and suddenly felt that he could drink tea and bask in the sun in his own restaurant, and the gods in the sky were afraid that they could not live this kind of rich life。

The guy came to add tea with a steaming teapot, and took the opportunity to praise the shopkeeper Hu with a red face, there must be something good coming. Shopkeeper Hu grabbed a large handful of melon seeds, smashed them in his hand, and scolded with a smile.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, when the sun was nearing the west, someone sent a message to the shopkeeper Hu that Baiyiguan wanted to discuss business with Jianghulou. The white-clothed view is located on a mountain more than 20 miles west of Wutou Town, there is a white-clothed saint in the view, the medical skills are superb, and the people around him usually give free medicine, and it is also a good name in this Wutou Town.

The shopkeeper Hu promised to come down, he rubbed his slightly round face, and his heart was even more happy, it seems that his restaurant business is really going to get bigger and bigger, and even the white doctor saint who only hears his name and does not see him has to do business with himself.

This matter made the shopkeeper Hu ponder and ponder, the white-clothed view has to do business with himself, most of which is related to ingredients, otherwise he really can't think of anything else, but in this way he still pondered until late, just when it was about to close, the guys were finished, and a strong man in black entered his shop, and hurriedly walked to his counter, the strong man was almost as tall as two shopkeepers, standing in front of the stage, and the shopkeeper Hu was frightened and took a step back, and the strong man looked at the shopkeeper Hu with his nose: "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid, I want to buy something with you." ”

Shopkeeper Hu smiled cautiously: "I don't know the strong man, what do you need to buy?"

Dahan took a pair of bull's eyes and walked around his shop, and waved his big hand: "I'm going to buy your restaurant!"

Shopkeeper Hu took two steps back: "Don't joke about the strong man, the small shop is the ancestral property of the family, and I really don't dare to sell it lightly." ”

Dahan: "How much is that a resale?"

Shopkeeper Hu held his thin body and stretched out a palm: "How is it?"

The big man raised one eyebrow: "Five hundred taels?"

Shopkeeper Hu hurriedly shook his head.

Dahan said again: "Five thousand taels?"

Shopkeeper Hu nodded with a smile.

The big man also laughed: "Then it's decided, five thousand taels are sold!"

After speaking, the big man stretched out an empty right palm and spread it in front of the shopkeeper.

Shopkeeper Hu didn't know why: "Strong man, why is this?"

Dahan said with a serious face: "Give money, the price is negotiated, it's time for you to give money." ”

Shopkeeper Hu's eyes darkened, knowing that he had met a black thief.

Shopkeeper Hu rubbed the cold sweat on his hands: "Haha. The strong man said that he laughed, said that he laughed, it was cold at night, and I went to warm the pot of wine for the strong man. ”

Saying that the shopkeeper was about to leave, as soon as he took a step, he was picked up by the collar by the big man: "The business hasn't been done yet, what kind of wine are you drinking." You give the money first, and the business between the two of us is cleared, and it will not be too late for us to drink. ”

The shopkeeper Hu's slightly round face squeezed out a crying look: "This... This.. Where does the business start? . . ”

The big man shook the shopkeeper with his beard: "Didn't someone come to pass the word in the afternoon, Baiyiguan wants to do some business with you, and you still agreed, don't you? It's only been a matter of a few hours, you don't have to pretend to be confused for you." ”

The shopkeeper Hu was like hearing a thunderbolt on a sunny day, and his whole body shook, thinking that this was doing business with the gods in the temple, but he thought that he was messing with the king of Hades in hell.

Seeing that he had not spoken for a long time, the big man put the chair and bench on the shopkeeper, and the thin shopkeeper smashed a sturdy wooden table, and his slightly round face was covered with blood.

The strong man stepped in front of the shopkeeper Hu and shouted, "To give money or not to give?"

Suddenly, a cyan figure took a white fan and blocked the blow of the empty rubble.

The dazed shopkeeper recognized that he was the young man in the green shirt he had seen in the afternoon, the young man had a fan, and the big man flew out upside down, and sat on a stool with a broken butt, just when the fan was opened, the shopkeeper Hu vaguely saw three words, one word seemed to be good, and the shopkeeper Hu, who had shed a large pool of blood, had not had time to see the other two words, and fainted.

The young man in the green shirt shook his fan: "Brother, the full moon is on the head outside, how can you be embarrassed to start such a black business?"

The big man stood up from the broken wood: "Where did the little thief come from, and he didn't inquire about the name of my white-clothed view, and he didn't even grow his hair, and he still wanted to control the heavens and the earth?"
