Chapter 33: Kitchen knives in hand

After flying in the sky for a while, Chen Mingjie's nervousness gradually eased.

Lan Xiang behind him was still holding himself tightly, his eyes were closed, and he didn't dare to open them.

This is Chen Mingjie's first sword flight, of course, on someone else's sword.

A whole Linxing Mountain Range below is presented in front of him, not far away is the beautiful Jianchuan Town, Chen Mingjie can also see the Nai He Bridge in Jianchuan Town.

After returning to the Xianlai Inn, the two of them left.

At this time, Lan Xiang leaned on Chen Mingjie, drowsy.

It seems that the side effects of this "Lanqi personality" are also very big, Chen Mingjie hurriedly carried Lanxiang into the guest room, put her flat on the bed, and covered the futon, then lifted the bamboo hug filled with floating spirit grass, walked out softly, and closed the door.

After returning to his room, Chen Mingjie also felt a wave of tiredness attack, presumably caused by being too nervous when flying with a sword before, and now he suddenly relaxed.

Chen Mingjie was lying on the bed, thinking about what had happened before, thinking about the adventure in the Linxing Mountain Range, thinking about what kind of important person Luo Xue was going to save with the pupil of the Winged Spirit Python, thinking that he had obtained another Winged Spirit Python Pupil, his thoughts were chaotic, and after a while, he fell asleep deeply.

......

I don't know how long it was, when Chen Mingjie woke up, he would watch three times in the middle of the night.

The bright moonlight shone softly through the window on the round table of Nanmu in the room. It was quiet, with occasional low croaking of frogs.

After a good night's sleep, Chen Mingjie felt a hundred times more energetic, deaf and clear.

Because of the second baby's SF ears, the hearing is stronger than before.

There seemed to be crying downstairs.

Pushing open the door, Chen Mingjie walked downstairs in search of sound, and the crying became clearer and clearer, coming from outside the store.

Pushing open the door of the Xianlai Inn, I saw the shopkeeper Wang sitting on the stone steps at the entrance of the store, beating his chest and feet, crying.

When the shopkeeper Wang raised his eyes and saw that it was a little Taoist priest, he still cried bitterly.

He cried and cried out in pain.

Seeing that the shopkeeper Wang's nose was blue and his face was swollen, the eyes of the two pandas were black, and there was blood oozing from his nose, it seemed that he had been beaten.

"Hahaha......" Chen Mingjie was in a good mood when he saw the bear-like shopkeeper of the Dao Wang, and couldn't help laughing, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really can't help it." “

Shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment, a little unhappy in his heart, he was heartbroken, you guy can still laugh, and there is no humanity.

"I said shopkeeper Wang, what's wrong with you" Chen Mingjie also sat down side by side with him and asked, "Should you go to the kiln and be found by the tigress at home and beaten up?" “

"Shop your sister" The shopkeeper Wang is not angry, it is all after this time, and he is still in the mood to count people, "Those guys dare to beat me, and I owe it to me to let them eat well and be good on weekdays." “

"Who hit you, brother gave you a head. “

"Alas....." the shopkeeper sighed.

Even if the shopkeeper Wang didn't say it, Chen Mingjie could guess a few points, and it was estimated that he owed money for gambling, so he was beaten.

"Those guys who eat people and don't spit out bones," said the king's shopkeeper indignantly, "hateful, they cheated me out of 2,000 taels of silver." “

What?2000 taels?

This guy only sold the Xianlai Inn to himself yesterday in exchange for a thousand taels of silver, and only a day later, not only is the 1,000 taels gone, but also 2,000 taels are owed.

"Shopkeeper Wang, you shouldn't bet on that with Shangguan Yulong. Chen Mingjie said coldly.

What Chen Mingjie said was guessing stocks.

If it weren't for the special ability of white eyes, it would be impossible to win Shangguan Yulong.

I don't know what the ghost was thinking about at that time, thinking about winning back the lost money, so I gambled in a daze. What can I do? “

Chen Mingjie said coldly: "Ben Shao gave you silver, do you still want to gamble?"

The shopkeeper Wang was stunned for a moment, and when he heard what the other party meant, he couldn't help but burst into tears, and sobbed: "Guest... The inn is gone, and my wife is not allowed to enter the house, and she said that she will go back to her parents' house tomorrow and will never come back. “

Gambling, whether ancient or modern, the result is the same, the family is broken, the wife is separated, in short, there is no good end.

The shopkeeper seemed to have made up his mind, raised his left hand, and said bitterly: "If I gamble again, I will cut off this hand!"

With that, the shopkeeper stood up with a "whoosh", rushed into the inn, and rushed away like a back kitchen.

This guy doesn't want to do anything stupid.

Chen Mingjie hurriedly got up and chased in.

There is a faint fire burning in the back kitchen, although the whole room is not particularly bright, the pots and pans on the stove, the spatulas on the wall, and the dishes and chopsticks in the closet can be seen clearly.

Shopkeeper Wang rushed to the stove, quickly took off a sharp kitchen knife hanging on the grab, and put his hand on the cutting board.

Chen Mingjie was shocked, he didn't expect that Shopkeeper Wang would do such a thing.

It seems that this product is also a temperamental person.

"Don't think about it!", Chen Mingjie rushed into the back kitchen, intending to stop him from doing something stupid.

He raised the kitchen knife, without the slightest hesitation, the kitchen knife fell in his hand, and with a "click", there was a small section, and it suddenly bounced up because of the force of the kitchen knife!

That's a short finger!

Blood splashed out from the severed finger, and the shopkeeper raised his left hand with a broken little finger and swore: "I, Wang Renfu, swear to the sky, if I gamble again, I will end up like this!"

Chen Mingjie was still a step late, and when he saw this scene and swore an oath, his heart was shocked.

I didn't expect the shopkeeper Wang to do this.

Now that his wife is separated and he is alone, there is nothing worth nostalgic about.

The blood slowly dripped to the ground, making a "click" sound.

"The ...... of the king's shopkeeper"

"I'm no longer a shopkeeper......."

Wang Renfu slowly lowered his head and walked past Chen Mingjie.

"Where are you going?"

"It's good to go anywhere......."

Leaving the back kitchen and passing through the inn hall, Wang Renfu walked to the gate of the Xianlai Inn, raised his eyes and looked at the four big characters "Xianlai Inn" in the gold paint above, and his eyes showed a trace of nostalgia.

He sighed faintly and lowered his head slowly, intending to leave this place.

Chen Mingjie felt that the time was ripe, and sneered: "Shopkeeper Wang, are you leaving like this?

Wang Renfu paused slightly, and after a few seconds, continued to walk forward.

"Are you willing to leave like this?"

"Are you willing to be ruined like this, willing to be separated from your wife like this, willing to be a loser who is spurned by the world?"

"What can you do if you are unwilling?" Wang Renfu roared in a low voice, "Shangguan Yulong has limited me to take out 2,000 taels of silver within three days, otherwise it will kill me....."

"Three days, where can I get 2,000 taels .......?"

If he hadn't been cornered, Wang Renfu would not have made such a decision.

One wrong step and you lose the whole game.

But fortunately, at least the shopkeeper didn't think about dying.

There is hope.

And daring to cut off his little finger also shows that he has learned from the pain, and such an enlightened person can pull him along.

"The problem that money can solve is not a problem, isn't it 2,000 taels, as for that?" Chen Mingjie took out two silver tickets of 1,000 taels from his arms and shook them off.
