Volume 1 Troubled Times Chapter 27 Five Floors
In this restaurant, there are a lot of outsiders who are tired of climbing the mountain and have nothing to find and return to the hotel, listening to the storyteller's words, they are all talking, and suddenly there is a noise in the building, and I can't hear why.
Hearing the sound of the wood again, everyone quieted down and listened to the storyteller's mouth, "Since it is the mountain gate that opens the mountain road today, then let's talk about why and how to climb the mountain today." ”
"If Mr. knows how to climb the mountain, why should he be a storyteller in this waterfall building, he would have already gone up the mountain to be a free immortal. Someone made a noise, mixed with a lot of laughter. or because of the futility of boarding, they are all dissatisfied and regretful.
The storyteller was not annoyed, but replied: "It's just the hearsay of people in the early years, and it is naturally up to you whether you listen or not." When the words fell, many people heard it and chimed in: "Sir, hurry up and talk about it, don't listen to those guys' nonsense." The storyteller poured himself another cup of hot tea, slowly sipped a few sips, and moistened his throat, which had never dried up: "I heard that this mountaineering road is the convenient door for the mountain people to broadcast and receive the door, but the opening time is uncertain, or a year and a half, or three or five years, or even more than ten years. ”
Mu Chenhao, who was eating food, heard this and stopped the work in his hand, raised his head and looked at the storyteller, and the figure of Yan Lingchuan suddenly appeared in his mind, and the old man who wanted to take his own life appeared, and then the old man who saved his life, and finally even Fang Qingping, who had fallen into the grass in Niancun Mountain and was taken by Yan Lingchuan, the so-called immortals, are they all despise all living beings and respect themselves above ten thousand people.
"So our small boundary of Sanxi Town has become fragrant and sweet, and a lot of people have squeezed their heads to come here and want to climb the mountain, everything is naturally a chance, even if you can't go up the mountain, but on this mountain, you don't necessarily have to suffer much loss. At this, the storyteller suddenly paused and smiled deeply, and the crowd was hearing and began to shout. The storyteller changed his sitting posture and said: "Even if you can't go up the mountain, who can guarantee that there will be nothing strange in this huge mountain forest?" A few years ago, I saw a middle-aged man staggering down the mountain, carrying a small tattered package on his back. If it is not bad, it must be found in that mountain only the fairy fruit planted by the mountain people. Later, the package was sold to ...... by the middle-aged man for 50,000 gold tickets."
The storyteller also spoke well, and when Fang stretched out a finger and talked eloquently, the shopkeeper who was fiddling with the abacus on the counter suddenly coughed inexplicably, which entered the storyteller's ears. As if he had woken up, the storyteller knew that he was speechless, stretched out his fingers back, smashed his wet mouth, took the waking wood and fell, crisp and piercing, and said with a smile: "I know what will happen next, and listen to the next time." ”
Suddenly there was a boo, and everyone knew that this was the storyteller's usual method of appetizing, and they couldn't help complaining, so they silently returned to the table, took a few mouthfuls of food or drank a sip of turbid wine, and secretly reminisced about the storyteller's words.
Mu Chenhao naturally didn't care about those, and when he was full of wine and food, he got up and walked towards the shopkeeper.
Approaching, the shopkeeper just glanced up, fiddled with the abacus a few times, and said, "Two coins." ”
Dumb, Mu Chenhao's face was a little ruddy, don't say two dollars, Mu Chenhao is penniless at the moment, and he can't take out half of it. After being stunned for a long time, he replied: "Shopkeeper, I am really shy in my pocket, and I don't want the shopkeeper to be accommodating, or allow me some work to offset this meal." ”
I was thinking of finding some rough work for myself, and I would leave after finishing it, but I never thought that the shopkeeper would pinch his chin and look at Mu Chenhao carefully, and then nodded and said: "I only have four guys on the fifth floor of this restaurant, but I really lack some manpower, in this case, how about you stay and run a hall?"
Mu Chenhao didn't know how to speak for a while, so he had to clench his fists and salute: "It's okay, it's just that I have something important to do, and I really can't delay." ”
The shopkeeper lowered his head and continued to fiddle with the abacus, and spoke: "Then what do you mean, eat white food?" Mu Chenhao hurriedly waved his hand: "Then naturally I don't dare, but I really have some urgent matters, and I need to hurry as soon as possible." ”
After speaking, Mu Chenhao only stood, and the shopkeeper didn't say a word, and the abacus rang out. Finally, the shopkeeper looked up: "In this case, you go to the five floors and pick up a pair of words hanging on the wall for me, and the meal money will be paid, how about it?"
Hearing this, Mu Chenhao was overjoyed, and hugged again: "Thank you." With that, he ran down the stairs.
Not long after, another person came with an embarrassed face and spoke: "Shopkeeper, I have traveled thousands of miles here, and I have exhausted my entanglement, and I really can't afford this meal." Without waiting to finish speaking, the shopkeeper just bowed his head and waved his hand, and the man understood, clenching his fists, "Thank you, shopkeeper." "Turn around and leave. At this moment, the shopkeeper suddenly raised his head, but did not look at this person, but looked at the staircase where Mu Chenhao went upstairs, and couldn't help grinning and muttering: "What a good seedling." ”
The man on credit walked to the door, and the guy who was still busy on the first floor came to him at some point and stretched out his hand to block the way. The person on credit was stunned and asked, "What does this mean?"
The guy laughed a few times and replied: "You are tired, you are tired and take off your clothes, and you can not lose all your money when you get this meal, and you can't lose all your money, right?"
The person on credit was quite surprised, and looked back at the counter, where the shopkeeper had never looked at it. Looking back at the emaciated guy again, his tone was slightly cold: "Your shopkeeper just let me go?"
The guy nodded: "It's natural to go, but you also have to leave an object as collateral, otherwise we won't be able to pay the small one, my shopkeeper has a temper, you take care of it, don't let the small one be difficult." ”
"Then what if I want to say no?" The person who paid the credit was already frosty, and there were faint green tendons bursting on his neck, as if he had practiced some hard-core kung fu. The guy shook his head helplessly: "That has to be a little hands-on?"
The person who paid the credit laughed angrily, and laughed angrily by this guy's serious attitude, how can the people who come to this mountain road have less force, if they have no power to restrain the chicken, this mountain that is not high, you have to climb to the year of the monkey.
Looking at the two of them again, although the figure of the person on credit is not extremely strong, he is also very tough, and he looks like he has the strength to walk in a tiger's style. And this guy has a thin face and a slight body, not like a monkey. The man on credit shook his fist and said to the man: "In broad daylight, I will definitely refuse to ask me to take off my clothes, and if you continue to mess around like this, then it is no wonder that I am untold." ”
Seeing this, the guy rubbed the tip of his nose: "Then are you going to do it?" The person on credit didn't speak, but just stretched out his hand to push the guy away, to the guy's chest, and poured force, but the guy didn't move.
Seeing this, the person who was on credit was suspicious, and he was about to push it again, but he saw that the man's long arm was clinging to his arm, grabbed the collar, and threw himself out of the door, and then fell firmly to the ground.
The man paced, and quickly took off the robe and trousers of the person who was on credit, leaving him with only a thin lining, and then hugged his shirt and bowed to the man who was still lying on the ground and did not slow down: "You go slowly." Then he turned around and went back upstairs.
Sitting up suddenly, the person on credit showed horror, glanced at the huge plaque, the three-character dragon flying phoenix dance in the waterfall building, waving the atmosphere, looking at it, there were beads of sweat rolling down on his forehead, and he got up suddenly, and he didn't care about only a thin lining on his body, he didn't feel ashamed, and left in a hurry.
The man walked to the cabinet, threw the clothes that were still warm on the ground, and looked at the shopkeeper. The shopkeeper stretched out his finger and said, "Take a look." The guy nodded, and rushed over.
This wooden staircase, which is only five floors, is surprisingly long, and the place is getting smaller and smaller, almost half the size of the first floor on the second floor, and there are very few people here, or even not full. There are only four or five separate rooms on the third floor, and when they reach the junction of the third and fourth floors, a smell of wine comes to their nostrils, and two people come down to meet them, one of them is already drunk, he can't even raise his head, his mouth is slurred, his body is all leaning on the other person, he is supported by the other person, and he said with a smile: "Brother Su, I'm afraid that this good wine has been drunk a little too much, how can this mountain be climbed?" The stairs were narrow, Mu Chenhao stepped aside to let the two go first, the person who was supporting looked up, the two looked at each other, the man smiled and nodded to show his gratitude, and Mu Chenhao also replied.
Staggered, Mu Chenhao looked back at the back of the drunk man, it was an indescribable familiarity, and after a moment of silence, Mu Chenhao took a few steps forward, wanting to know the identity of the drunk man. The guy on the first floor stepped up, saw Mu Chenhao's puzzled expression, and asked, "What's the matter?" The shopkeeper asked me to come and see you go to the five floors and take the ink down. ”
Mu Chenhao nodded, abandoned the urge to ask questions, and continued to walk towards the fifth floor. To the fifth floor, the staircase goes straight to a room, nothing else, push the door and enter, the first thing that catches your eyes is outside the window, the misty mountain scenery, climb high and look far away, this is extremely true, the mind is suddenly open-minded, take a few steps forward, overlook it, it is the lake that I saw on the mountain before, it is much more spectacular than what I saw on the Muyun Peak. The guy rubbed his nose, shook a few messy wine jars on the ground, and shook his head: "I can really drink it." ”
In the midst of the beautiful scenery, the defeat is abrupt. On the damp cliff, the water trail is gone, only a black and oppressive figure is seen, like ants turbulent, extremely ugly, but I can also see a lot of people, who have entered the clouds and disappeared.
"Mountaineering and mountaineering, one by one, they all feel that they are that piece of material, and the ignorant are fearless, which is really right. Seeing that Mu Chenhao was distracted, the guy also came over, looked at it for a while and sighed.
Mu Chenhao turned his head to look at the guy, but there was no floor to look like he was bowing his head and waist, surprisingly calm, and said, "What do you call the little second brother?"
"Don't dare, don't dare, the surname is crane, the name is far away, the crane is far away, far away. ”
Mu Chenhao nodded and replied: "Mu Yuan, the word Chenhao, the abyss Hao's Hao." ”
Hearing this, the guy suddenly laughed, "Your name, there are some contradictions, dust is dust, Hao is water potential, if you use the five elements to say, soil and water, dust and Hao can not coexist." ”
Mu Chenhao moved back from the mountain view, and then looked at the scenery in the room, Qi Ya was extremely sweet, and replied: "It's okay. ”
Downstairs on the first floor, Bai Tang staggered downstairs with the drunken Su Hu, and the shopkeeper smiled: "How do you get it?"
Bai Tang paused and beckoned: "It's excellent, the wine is better." ”
The shopkeeper suddenly laughed, looked at the drunk Su Hu, and said meaningfully: "You can see it, you can see it." ”
Seeing that the two of them were helping them to leave again, they spoke again: "How can you go up the mountain like this?"
The drunk Su Hu suddenly woke up for a while, only muttered a vague word, and then fell into a deep state again.
Listening to what Su Hu said, Bai Tang shrugged his shoulders, nodded at the shopkeeper, and left. The shopkeeper repeated Su Hu's words and chuckled: "It's okay, it's okay." ”
