Liu Yun and the others walked east along the forest path. On the opposite side of the road came a man of sixty or seventy years old, with his hair in a bun on the top of his head, his two-inch-long white beard slightly curved, his body slightly chubby, his chest open, and his big belly exposed. He carried an arm-thick rolling pin, which was still stained, and a large burden hung from the rolling pin.

After the two sides passed by, Ma Wentian secretly said: "That person is a cook." ”

"How do you know?" Liu Yun was puzzled.

"The smell of green onions. If you don't believe it, ask Xiaoyu, her nose is so smart, she must have heard it. ”

"The smell of sweat is even stronger. Xiao Yu said.

"Hey, those dolls wait a minute. The old man turned back to them and called out.

"It's over, you said that people smell of sweat, and people hear it. Ma Wentian teased Xiaoyu and said.

The three of them turned around and saw that the old man was taking out a portrait of his head from his baggage, unfolding it and looking at it carefully, saying, "Is that kid called Ma Wentian?"

The trio was vigilant. "Junior, how did the uncle know?"

"That's it, the master of the boy with the sledgehammer next to you told me, and he also drew me a portrait of the two of you, and told me that I could meet you on this road today. And ask me to bring you a letter. As he spoke, the old man approached and took out a piece of paper. "I was in a hurry, and I didn't have time to find the envelope. The old man handed it to Liu Yun.

Liu Yun took the letter and read it, and Ma Wentian came over to read it together. It is indeed the master's handwriting, which reads: I am a disciple of Liu Yun, I haven't seen him for a few days, and I miss it very much. Some people in the rivers and lakes began to look for a teacher, I calculated that there are villains who want to be unfavorable to our master and apprentice, and in the future, you should try to change your name and surname in front of outsiders, and you can't report the name of your teacher. Good life experience, don't let the teacher down. Three times for a teacher's life, people who are much higher than their own cultivation can't be calculated, their own things are not willing to be counted, and they can't be counted, and there are you, you can't be counted as a teacher, since you were a child, even in front of me, you can't be counted as a teacher, maybe my master and apprentice are too fateful, counting you is the same as being a teacher himself, so your business, being a teacher can only be counted as a horse asking the sky, and what he sees you is the one that the teacher can feel. This old man is looking for a teacher to help you, this person is honest and can be trusted, you don't have to worry about him leaking information, he is illiterate.

After reading the letter, Liu Yun asked the old man: "Uncle, is it my master who asked you to protect us?"

The old man said simply, "I've been a cook for 20 years, so you can just call me Uncle Cook." As for your master, hmph, he's a big fool. The old man was angry, "I know who he is, and I know that you are his apprentice, but he is afraid that I will not speak the door, so he will tell your name to outsiders, and he will not tell me what your name is, you are not angry!"

"He also asked me to follow you for a while, until you can walk the rivers and lakes alone, at that time I was confused by his mind and agreed, and then I thought about it, you can walk the rivers and lakes alone, you must not spend more than ten years on me, I am really angry. "This old man speaks plainly and straightforwardly, and he looks like an honest man.

"Hehe, Uncle Cook, don't be angry, my master is joking, junior Liu Yun, the master letter said that in the future, I should report my name and my master's name as little as possible outside. Seeing the master's handwritten letter, Liu Yun felt very cordial to this chef uncle.

"Haha, Uncle Cook, what else did his master say?" asked Tian and didn't treat this honest cook as an outsider.

"Let me also tell you, if one day Liu Yun is in trouble, when you are about to despair, you will take him to the east for seventy miles, and then ten miles to the north, and you can find a person called the Great Doctor Sage, no accident, he should be picking mushrooms at that time, he can save Liu Yun. ”

Everyone was stunned when they heard this, and asked the Great Doctor Sage to save Liu Yun, so they would be very dangerous, the Rat King's prediction must not be wrong, when Ma Wentian was desperate, when the Great Doctor Sage was picking mushrooms, it was accurate.

After the four of them chatted for a while, they walked towards the east together, and the old man of the cook just called over there, saying that there was a lively place there, so several people decided to go there to have a big meal, which was to catch the wind and wash the dust for the uncle of the cook, but in fact, it was for eating, and the three of them knew each other.

The three little habits are fast, and the old man looks like a martial arts practitioner, so the four of them rushed to the east, only to run five or six miles, and the cook is not good, sweating profusely, wheezing and panting, and the speed is getting slower and slower. Liu Yun and the others had to wait for him, and when they arrived at the market in front, the three little ones were happy, and the cook was tired and held on to the big tree and gasped for a long time. It wasn't until the four of them found a tavern to sit down that the cook eased up, but the smell of sweat on his body made the shopkeeper stare at him. Xiao Er found them a place on the second floor to put the corner against the window, just to ventilate and not affect the other guests to eat.

Since they looted the heroes Yin and Yangzi, the silver tickets on their bodies are richer than the richest man in a small town, and Liu Yunma is not a person who can live a life, so he is naturally not stingy with money, anyway, it is easy to "make money", maybe one day, which hero will send them again.

asked for a table full of good dishes, stacked three layers, Le's shopkeeper smiled out of his eyes, and he didn't think the old man stinks, this honest old man said to the shopkeeper who came up to deliver the dishes from time to time: "Put a little more shallots in this dish...... The pasta and noodles are softer, don't make the noodles at noon, wait a quarter of an hour longer, and it will be ...... to make it" Xiao Er didn't take it to heart, just nodded and agreed.

The restaurant was mixed, all kinds of chatting and bragging, and a table next to it was talking, which attracted Liu Yun and the others.

"In the past few years, there have been so many geniuses on the rivers and lakes. ”

"Genius, I know one, it is said that the surname is Ouyang, that kid is in his early twenties, and he has found a lot of famous masters to fight, there are wins and losses, but his kung fu is long, and he wins more and more. It is said that this kid ran to Emperor Wu City in a daze, although he only walked three steps on the water-dividing road, and then somehow turned around and came back, but the person who dared to go to the gate of Emperor Wu City was worth it. ”

"Yes, I also heard, that kid came back from Emperor Wu City, was bumped into by a person, this person said it scared people to death, it was known as the 'first person since ancient times' of the eldest grandson Fuji, and I don't know why, that kid was beaten by the eldest grandson, although he was beaten, but he was beaten glorious, and the eldest grandson Fuji also praised this kid as a genius when he left! This is the eldest grandson's boast......"

"The eldest grandson and old man have taken revenge. Ma Wentian munched on the lion's head and said.

"Well, the old man's temper, it should be. I want to compare myself with Ouyang Lian, I have always heard of geniuses, but I don't know what geniuses look like. Liu Yun agreed.

The four of them were full, and they could only be described by the word "satisfied". I couldn't walk anymore.

At this time, they found that the street outside was full of people, and they condescended to see a woman in white playing chess with a man who was scratching his ears and cheeks.

This man has been gambling for a living all year round, and he has not tasted defeat in eight or nine years, and there are many outsiders who are good at chess, and he gave him a lot of silver. But today I passed by a woman, dressed in white and with a very beautiful face. After watching two rounds on the side, I came to challenge. Not only did the woman win six moves in a row, but what was even more striking was that she stood far away, and with a finger, the chess pieces ran to the place where they should go. This hand was shocked by the surrounding people, saying that it was the goddess of heaven who came down to play against him, otherwise how could the "chess saint" who had not been defeated for eight years lose six in a row. Now the chess saint is scratching his ears and cheeks anxiously, I don't know how to be good, you must know the odds of one to ten set by himself, although the girl only put one or two silver, but she has already put sixty taels into it, and the pants that accompany her will be sold.

Liu Yun and Ma Wentian were lying by the window and watching with taste, and they discussed it from time to time.

"This girl is okay. ”

"It's okay, but it's a pity it's flat-chested. ”

The woman in white downstairs looked at the chessboard and smiled, even the noise around her could not interfere with her calm heart, but after Liu Yun whispered upstairs that she was flat-chested, her willow eyebrows were upside down, and the jade hand under her sleeve clenched her fist.

"What do you think a beauty should look like?"

"Eight words! Weak bones, big milk!"

The two of them smiled evilly, thirteen or fourteen-year-old Liu Yun and fifteen or sixteen-year-old Ma Wentian, who could summarize these eight words at a young age, can also be regarded as "geniuses". Xiao Yu sat next to him and really wanted to kick them down, and was thinking about which one to kick first.

"This bitch's ass is not cocked. ”

Before Xiaoyu could get out of her legs, the woman in white downstairs picked her jade fingers, and two chess pieces flew up to the second floor, piercing the floor and hitting Liu Ma and the others.

Ordinary people were shocked to see her playing chess in the air, Liu Yun and the others didn't take this kung fu seriously, and after dodging, the chess pieces downstairs flew one after another. Ma Wentian drew his sword and pulled the chess pieces, jumped down, ate and drank to his heart's content, and had a fight, wouldn't it be beautiful.

Liu Yun took out a dozen silver tickets, thought about how much this delicious meal was worth, took a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and slapped it on the table as meal money, just about to leave, thinking about how to accompany other people's chess pieces to destroy the restaurant's money, after thinking about how much a wooden board is worth, he picked a 30 tael and slapped it on the table, and jumped off the second floor.

The shopkeeper took the silver ticket and handed it to the boss. The boss looked at the silver ticket, tears were about to fall, in this bazaar, the annual harvest will not reach two hundred taels. The boss left the money for the meal, rewarded the money for destroying the building to Xiao Er for the first time, and led the cook and the shopkeeper to go downstairs.

"Boss, what should we do in the restaurant?"

"Hahahaha, let them tear it down, and build a big one next year for two hundred taels!"
