Chapter 62: The Black Shop (Part II)
The smell of meat was so strong that it caused hunger to rise in Yu Xiu's stomach, and he looked around the room, and found that there was only a rotten wooden table, so he sat down and put the long knife on the table.
Without waiting for Yu Xiu to shout, the curtain in the back kitchen was lifted a crack, and one eye appeared behind the curtain, staring at Yu Xiu quietly.
As soon as Yu Xiu raised his eyes to look over, the curtain immediately closed, completely blocking the situation in the back kitchen, and his eyes disappeared.
When Yu Xiu saw this situation, his brows furrowed slightly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart. But he didn't act immediately, An Sheng sat in his seat, and only said: "Shop, why is the house so fragrant? ”
After exhaling and waiting for a while, footsteps sounded in the back kitchen, and a pockmarked woman came out, looked at Yu Xiu for a few moments, and then retracted her head.
Not long after, the pock-faced woman came out of the back kitchen, holding a clay pot in her hand, resting on the table where she was resting.
Yu Xiu looked at the woman intently, and found that the woman's hair was gray, her face was wrinkled, and her hands were withered like chicken paws, and she looked much older than the man outside the house.
"The two may be mother and son. Yu Xiu thought about it for a while, he looked down at the clay pot on the table, and found that the basin was steaming, and the smell of meat came into his nose, it was a pot of oily, freshly made meat soup.
The pock-faced woman brought the meat soup to Yu Xiu, grinning, toothless in her mouth, her eyes staring directly at the meat soup, looking quite greedy.
Yu Xiu looked at it quietly, and the weirdness in his heart was even heavier, "If you walk a lot at night, you will always meet ghosts, and you really ran into a black shop?"
This life is not as good as Yu Xiu's previous life, not only in ancient times, but also in the late stage of the dynasty, thieves and thieves everywhere are whirling and extinguishing, and those who are in the car and boat shops are either guilty or should be killed.
Especially in this wilderness, kill people, dig a pit everywhere, and bury it.
Therefore, Yu Xiu suspected that the broth in front of him had been added, and even worse, the meat in the bowl might not be a good thing......
At that moment, the hunger in Yu Xiu's stomach suddenly subsided, and he quietly held down the long knife, thinking about how to excuse himself and let the old woman take back the meat soup.
But at this moment, the man outside the house returned to the house after finishing the forage, saw Yu Xiu and the old woman, came over, and stammered: "Mother...... Chicken, chicken soup, how to serve, serve out. ”
The yellow-faced man pulled the old woman with a little dissatisfaction on his face. When Yu Xiu heard this, his heart moved, he picked up a pair of chopsticks, stroked a few times in the meat soup, and really fished out a chicken claw.
He smelled the aroma of the meat, carefully identified it, and found that the meat soup in front of him was indeed chicken soup, but he didn't know how to cook it, and the meat was all off and cooked.
When the old woman heard the yellow-faced man's words, she just smiled on her face, looked at Yu Xiu with blank eyes, and did not speak.
Judging from the current situation, the meat soup may have been specially made by the yellow-faced man for the old lady to make up for her body, but because Yu Xiu exhaled, the old woman heard it, so she brought out the meat soup and prepared to sell it to Yu Xiu.
Yu Xiu looked at the clothes of the two again, and found that the man was only a single shirt, and the patches were patched one after another, but the old woman was fine.
He pushed the broth over and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, you can't eat meat and fishy things, and it's enough to smell it." ”
Yu Xiu stood up and arched his hand, "Please ask the eldest brother to give Poor Dao a bowl of hot soup and eat it with dry food." He casually pulled a little coin out of his sleeve.
When the man heard this, he rubbed his hands and stammered: "Yes, there is pasta, do you want it?"
Yu Xiu shook his head, pointed to the coins on the table and said, "Poor Dao can't afford it, a bowl of hot water, plus a night's sleep." ”
Although the misunderstanding of the broth was solved, Yu Xiu was still vigilant in his heart, and he dared to ask the other party for hot water, which was already bold.
"Okay, easy to say. The yellow-faced man took the dozen or so black iron coins on the table, weighed them, put them in his belt, and said, "Guest, guest officer, just live ......."
The man stammered and babbled a few words, and then led the pock-faced woman back to the back kitchen, and after a while brought out a bowl of hot water.
Yu Xiu thanked him, took a closer look at the hot water, and found that it was not turbid, and he didn't find anything wrong after smelling it, so he was relieved.
He took out the dry food he carried, broke it and crumpled it, soaked it in hot water and ate a bowl of hot paste, then asked for another bowl of hot water, and walked to the room pointed out by the man.
The old woman was still grinning, and did not say a word.
Yu Xiu walked to the guest room and found that the room was even simple, far from being compared with the county, but in this wilderness, it was rare to have a place to shelter from the wind and rain and soak in hot water.
After some washing, the yellow-faced man specially brought an oil lamp and carefully placed it in the guest room.
Yu Xiu sat cross-legged on the bed, thinking about the mother and son in the hotel again and again, and did not find any signs of cultivation in the two of them, so he was relieved.
"No matter, sleep. He was wrapped and lay straight on the bed, ready to rest.
After running around for several days in a row, even if he practiced martial arts, his body and bones were no longer what they used to be, but the feeling of sleeping in the open was still uncomfortable. Now it's rare to come across a hotel, of course, to have a good rest.
Although he was asleep, Yu Xiu still held the knife firmly in his hand, and the doors and windows were also manipulated. This was because the behavior of the innkeeper mother and son was really strange, which aroused the vigilance in his heart.
At night, the wind blew outside the hotel, and the low whining made it impossible to sleep.
Yu Xiu slept for a while, feeling that his spirit had recovered and his body was much less tired, so he sat up cross-legged and began to contemplate the recipe and polish the Yin God.
Suddenly, the sound of the wind was mixed with other sounds, Yu Xiu's eyes were slightly raised, and he listened carefully, and found that someone was talking. The voice was disturbed by the wind, and it was vague, so that he could not hear clearly.
Yu Xiu simply took the work, walked out of bed lightly, walked outside the door, put his ear to the crack in the door, and listened carefully.
Suddenly, a person in the courtyard stammered: "Tie, tie and kill......" Immediately after, another stabbing sound sounded.
When Yu Xiu heard the words, a thunder exploded in his heart, and the strange behavior of the innkeeper mother and son sounded in his mind again. He pressed his thoughts, and continued to listen to the crack in the door, only to hear the sound of stabbing and stabbing continued, it was a metallic sound.
"What a black shop, are you sharpening knives again?" a thought popped into his head.
Yu Xiu pinched the long knife in his hand, a cold flash flashed in his eyes, and he immediately wanted to rush into the courtyard, strike first, and kill the mother and son of the inn.
But at the moment when he was about to kick the door, he remembered a story he had read, and his brows suddenly furrowed, pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, and said in his heart: "Why don't you go out and explore the situation before you start?"
Anyway, the innkeeper mother and son are just ordinary people, so it doesn't matter if you delay for a while. Yu Xiu returned to the bed, sat down cross-legged, and then escaped from the Yin God.
As usual, he used the Yin God to inspect the surroundings of the physical body. This time, he checked it very carefully, lest he be damaged during the time when he escaped from the Yin God.
After wandering around three times, completely relieved, he ran to the inn courtyard.
"Mother, mother, you tie, leggings...... I tied my neck ......"
As soon as he walked out of the door, Yu Xiu heard the mother and son whispering so secretly, and his brows furrowed even more.
He walked into the courtyard with a cold face, and found the mother and son busy at the edge of the stable. The pock-faced woman pressed her head and sharpened her knife on the stone slab, while the yellow-faced man held the hemp rope and put it around her arm.
Seeing the two of them behaving like this, Yu Xiu's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he immediately turned around and wanted to go back to the room to get the knife, but the mother and son. But the moment he turned around, he suddenly noticed that the skinny horse in the stable was with his eyes open, apparently not sleeping.
Seeing the thin horse awake, Yu Xiu was displeased.
This horse has been adjusted by him for many days, can recognize people and objects, and later was fed by him with the Red Blood Pill, and has some spirituality.
But when the mother and son in the inn sharpened their knives and wanted to harm him, the thin horse, but only watched the excitement without warning.
Yu Xiu snorted coldly, flicked his sleeves and was about to leave. But at this moment, the thin horse suddenly snorted, lowered his head and arched to the side.
There was a sudden humming sound in the stables.
Yu Xiu looked over and suddenly saw something lying on his stomach in the stable. He took a closer look and saw that it was a pig, the size of a dog, very thin and thin.
Yu Xiu's face was stunned, and he thought absurdly: "Is it really 'Lu Boxuan'?"
In the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao suspected that Lu Bohao's family wanted to kill him, so he preemptively slaughtered Lu Bohao's entire family, but after killing, he found that others wanted to kill pigs to entertain him.
Yu Xiu was worried about this incident, afraid of killing two innocent people by mistake, so he held his mind and came to visit with the Yin God first.
"Mother, me, I know that there is no meat in the store, and we can't entertain customers. But, I'm still waiting to use this pig to marry my daughter-in-law......" the yellow-faced man said babbling again.
After talking for a long time, the yellow-faced man pulled out the lean pig from the stable. The skinny pig immediately screamed, screaming harshly, and constantly struggling.
"Also, I screamed, woke up the guests, Lao, Lao Tzu split you!" the yellow-faced man scolded, took the hemp rope from his arm, and tied it to the pig's body.
The pock-faced woman squatted to the side and hurriedly handed over the sharp knife.
Yu Xiu stood in place and looked at it for a long time, and sighed lightly: "Just this thin piglet, I still want to sell my daughter-in-law......" He shook his head with a smile, turned around and walked into the room.
Early the next morning, the mother and son knocked on the door of the inn, but found that there was no one in the house, and the horses in the courtyard were also taken away.
In the pottery bowl filled with hot water in the house, there are full of coins, and the top is a White Emperor silver talisman coin, one silver is worth 10,000.
It's not that Yu Xiu doesn't want to give more, but if he gives more, I'm afraid that it will hurt the mother and son.
