Shopkeeper Cao was in his early fifties, his thin body was wrapped in a thick leather robe, under his sheepskin hat, his black and red face was full of wrinkles, and his cloudy eyes showed joy. He was cowering behind the counter of the liquor store, twisting his goatee and looking at the account book in his hand.

Sangxi Fort is located in the westernmost part of Anzhou, in the middle of nowhere, and Jiupanling and Wangxi Road are notoriously difficult to travel, in the past, there were not many business travelers passing through here, and the business of the inn was naturally light. However, the inheritance left by the ancestors cannot be lost in vain, fortunately, the neighbors come to cheer every three or five times, and the woodcutters and hunters in the mountains also occasionally come to rest, so that Cao's inn can still be maintained.

Yesterday, a heavy snowfall made the shopkeeper Cao have no hope for business in the past few days. Unexpectedly, someone braved the wind and snow and walked out of Jiupanling. The gang stayed at their inn last night, and they won't be able to leave for a while. The man should be able to earn himself some money by eating horses.

Shopkeeper Cao inevitably served attentively, and even gave his house to a few distinguished guests. As long as the guest is satisfied, the silver will go into the pocket.

"Dad! Most of these people haven't gotten up yet, and at noon, they need to prepare more wine and meat!" As soon as the curtain was lifted, a dull voice sounded, and a tall man in his thirties limped in. His beard was unkempt, his face was gloomy, and his leather robe was wrapped around his body indiscriminately, and after he finished speaking to the shopkeeper Cao, he looked at the empty wine shop with a depressed expression.

Seeing that it was his son Cao An, the joy on the shopkeeper Cao's face disappeared. He closed the account book and said slowly: "Let Xiao Landuo prepare more steamed buns, and let the pillar stew two more sheep!"

When talking to his son, Cao's shopkeeper's voice was low and old.

Cao An nodded silently and slowly turned to leave. Looking at the limping figure, the shopkeeper Cao's cloudy eyes showed gloom, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In his early years, his son was also a good man with strong martial arts, he was chivalrous and righteous, and he married a good daughter-in-law. Oh my God's eyes!

"Shopkeeper, what delicious food is sold here?" The door curtain shook, Lin Yi walked in, and when he saw the shopkeeper's expression, he was a little curious.

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper Cao was busy calming down, only to see that his son had walked out of the door, and it was a young man who came in, with a small wine gourd hanging from his waist, looking at him with a smile on his face. Isn't this exactly the group of guests who came last night? He hurriedly smiled and said: "Look at my old and dizzy-eyed guests, you have lost your manners when you come to the door, forgive your sins!

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the black and red face of the shopkeeper Cao, and he led Lin Yi to a table lewd against the wall, wiped the stool with his sleeve, and invited the guests to sit down, before he smiled and said: "This place is deserted, and the small shop is also simple, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope the guest officer will forgive me one or two!"

"The shopkeeper can call me Lin Yi!" Lin Yi smiled and shook his head.

"How can this be done, let's call Lin Gongzi!" Shopkeeper Cao smiled earnestly, the young man in front of him was calm and easy-going, and he was indifferent in his simplicity, which made people feel close.

"I'm just a coachman, I don't deserve to be worthy of a son, please feel free to do so!" Lin Yi said softly.

It's rare to come to eat and drink alone, and he is flattered by an old man like this, he is really not used to it, so he asked the shopkeeper Cao to eat some wine and meat.

Shopkeeper Cao nodded hurriedly, turned around and walked to the door, his body was rickety, and his back was a little hunched. After a while, a sturdy young man, holding a tray in his hand, served Lin Yi with wine and food.

The piping hot old wine and steaming lamb are mouth-watering. Lin Yi tasted the mutton, which was fat and tender. I took a sip of wine, and the taste was long with a hint of sweetness. He nodded in satisfaction.

Shopkeeper Cao leaned on the counter not far away, looked at Lin Yi's pleasant appearance with a smile, and said, "Brother Lin, how about my wine and meat?"

Lin Yi took another sip of hot soup. Sleeping in the open for a few days, although the appetite is light, it is okay not to eat or drink for three or five days, but as a person, the enjoyment of eating and drinking is inseparable. If you go east with the Tianlong Sect, you can't cultivate with peace of mind, so it's better to be at peace with what you encounter and eat and drink happily.

"The wine is mellow with a hint of sweetness, and the mutton is delicious, soft and fragrant. This wine and meat are not bad!" Lin Yi praised.

Shopkeeper Cao tried his best to straighten his waist, cocked his goatee and smiled: "My small shop in the mountains is shabby, and I really can't get anything good." However, this wine is made with mulberries from the local mountains, and it is sweet in the mouth, which is unique to the local area, and cannot be drunk anywhere else! This mutton was also slaughtered last night, and it was simmered all night, the soup is thick but not greasy, and the meat is rotten but chewy. The weather in February is cold in the frontier, and it is the time to drink mulberry wine and eat mutton!"

"That's what the shopkeeper said, it's a pity that this place is deserted, and there are fewer guests!" Lin said to Shopkeeper Cao while eating.

Shopkeeper Cao sighed, his back hunched down again, and his voice was a little desolate: "It wasn't so cold before, it's just ...... Alas, don't mention it!"

Shopkeeper Cao turned around and shrank into the counter, he squeezed out a smile at Lin Yi, and sighed: "It's not easy for people to live!

The smile buried in the wrinkles is a little stiff, and in the cloudy eyes, there are just endless vicissitudes and helplessness. Shopkeeper Cao twisted his gray goatee and shrunk deeply into the counter.

This shopkeeper Cao said that he wanted to live his life, but he could see with a clear eye that his life was not comfortable!

"Is the lame man in front of the door the shopkeeper's son?" everyone walks on a different path, and no one will walk easily. However, Lin Yi couldn't help but ask.

Shopkeeper Cao nodded and said: "It is my son Cao An, the guy is called Zhuzi, and the girl outside is my granddaughter Xiaolan!"

I didn't know why Lin Yi asked this, but Shopkeeper Cao still said it casually. Two years earlier, there was still a wife and that hard-working daughter-in-law! Now, the entire inn is now full of four people, young and old.

"My son's legs are not like this, alas!" shopkeeper Cao couldn't help but sigh again.

"It's like a knife cut a hamstring!" Lin Yi took the wine cup and groaned before he said softly.

When he walked into the wine shop, he saw Cao An's burly body, but his legs were disabled, and his expression was full of resentment. Curious, he used his divine sense to check the other party's lameness. It is seen that it is caused by the rupture of the tendons, and there is a method of connecting the tendons and veins in the "Baicao Collection". It's just that it's not something that can be used in the world. If you say it rashly, you are afraid of arousing suspicion.

It's just that the shopkeeper Cao has a sad look on his face, and Lin Yi can't help but feel compassion again.

When Shopkeeper Cao heard this, his eyes lit up. The son's tendon was cut with a knife, but through the thick leather robe, he could see the clues at a glance, which was unbelievable.

"Brother Lin, are you a miracle doctor?" Shopkeeper Cao hurriedly ran out of the counter, he came to Lin Yi's table, bowed down, and asked with an eager expression.

"My son's tendons were cut off by a knife, but in the world, I have seen those who have muscles and bones, and I have heard of people who are living dead and have white bones, but it is unheard of for the limbs to regrow and the tendons and veins to be connected! Since Brother Lin can see my son's illness at a glance, I don't know what to do!"

It is normal for people to go to the doctor when they are sick. Besides, he is his only son! Shopkeeper Cao also thinks that he is ridiculous, but he always has to do his best, do what an old father can do, in order to obey the destiny of heaven.

Lin Yi smiled and said, "I'm not a miracle doctor. I've never seen a way to regenerate a severed limb. It's just a random guess, and it's just a coincidence that he guessed correctly. It's just that if the hamstring is broken and then reconnected, I can try it......!

Lin paused in one breath, looked at the shopkeeper Cao, and smiled without saying a word.

"Brother Lin really has a way? Hehe, it's really an eye-opener, someone who saved me Cao is here! Don't worry, how much silver do you want, even if you open your mouth, it's a big deal to get this inn out!" The shopkeeper Cao only felt joy descending from the sky, his eyes were shining, and the wrinkles on his face were also stretched.

Lin Yi pondered for a while, glanced at Shopkeeper Cao, and then said softly: "Before I leave Sanxi Fort, I will help your son cure his leg disease." I don't take a penny of silver. Let no one but you and me know about it, not even my companions. Otherwise, I have never said anything today! The shopkeeper must remember that if you want to cure your son's leg, it is not me, but you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the corners of Lin Yi's mouth curled, and he said loudly to the shopkeeper Cao: "Shopkeeper, bring me another pot of wine!"

Shopkeeper Cao was stunned in his heart, he didn't expect that in order to cure his son's leg disease, the young man in front of him would make such a strange request. He saw that Lin Yi suddenly glanced at him, and his mind changed sharply, so he didn't dare to say more, and hurriedly said: "Wait a minute, the guest officer, let's serve the wine!"

Before the shopkeeper Cao's voice fell, the curtain of the wine shop was lifted, and another voice sounded: "Stinky boy, you have left the old way to eat alone! The shopkeeper, two more pots of wine, and then a pot of stewed mutton!"

Zhen Yuanzi stroked his long beard in his hand, and walked in with a posture of looking for trouble.

"Dao Chang is early!" Lin sat still, but the corners of his mouth were curled.

"Hehe, what about the jokes? Stinky boy! But he smelled the fragrance and knew the way, ate and drank early, and didn't think about the friendship along the way! In this world, people's hearts are not ancient!" Zhen Yuanzi was indignant, shook his long coat, and sat opposite Lin Yi.

Lin Yi took a sip of old wine and turned his head to look at the wine shop. He was silent, but the faint smile on his face remained.

"What are you talking to?"

Lin Yi looked back at Zhen Yuanzi, put down the wine cup, and said helplessly: "The kid sleeps in the bunk, and the road chief sleeps in the upper room, the height is different, and the upper and lower must be different......"

"Stop, you don't sell false words to Lao Dao, such a good weather, it is the time to drink wine and eat meat, but you make such vulgar words to slander Lao Dao's ears and purity, which is unpleasant!" Zhen Yuanzi feigned anger, pointed to the wine and meat sent by the pillar, and leaned on the old man and said: "You will pay the bill in a while! Don't blame Lao Dao for not giving you a chance to repent!"

After Zhen Yuanzi finished speaking, he pulled the wine jug and poured himself a drink, which was not only happy!

Lin Yi's eyes rolled and he stopped talking. This old Taoist fairy looks like a bone, cheats to eat and drink, and doesn't let others.
