Han Fengge said goodbye to Zhong Fanmiao and his wife, and rose with a sword and went all the way west to the Yaotai realm. Yaotai is located in Huzhou, which is adjacent to Yunzhou.

The name of Huzhou comes from its developed water system, with thousands of large and small rivers and more than 100 lakes crisscrossing the waterways. Huzhou, which has abundant rain and fertile land, has always been the land of fish and rice in the Great Zhou Dynasty, rich in products, rich in people, supporting more than half of the grain production and taxes of the Great Zhou Dynasty, and it is also the land of Longxing of the Son of Heaven of the Zhao family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and was once given the reputation of "the country of abundance" by the founding Taizu.

Out of Yunzhou, Han Fengge slowed down. The summer weather in Gangnam is hotter than in the north, and it is also more humid because of the heavier rain. Although Han Fengge was already a monk in the Longmen Realm at this time, he was not afraid of the cold and heat of the world, but he still liked to choose to rush in the crisp morning and the evening breeze.

Walking in the mountains, the early farmers drove the old cattle to work in the fields in the morning breeze, and the bees and butterflies in the mountains also coveted the rare coolness in this summer, shuttling back and forth among the flowers on the roadside to collect morning dew. The rows of paddy fields are like mirrors hanging on the mountains, reflecting the morning glow in the sky. From time to time, there are cows and birds in the paddy fields, as well as the crisp singing of women, which is peaceful and distant.

At noon, Han Fengge saw a small tea shop on the official road between the mountains and forests, for pedestrians and merchants to take refuge in the summer. After all, if the weather is not really forced by life, how many people will choose to travel under the scorching heat of summer? Those poor peasants facing the loess with their backs to the sky are even more reluctant to sit in this tea shop and drink a bowl of tea with two big dollars a bowl.

When Han Fengge walked into the tea shop, the shopkeeper was taking a nap on the table, and the proprietress was behind the counter repeatedly counting the account books that were not thick, calculating the family's food and clothing and the cost of the children going to private schools.

Seeing Han Fengge walking into the tea shop, the proprietress who was not outstanding in appearance but simple and gentle raised her head, glanced at it and shouted to the shopkeeper next to her: "Master, get up and greet the guests." After shouting twice, but not seeing his man wake up, he gave Han Fengge an apologetic smile in desperation, and was about to walk out of the counter to greet this hard-won guest in person.

At this time, behind the counter, a small head about four or five years old with two pigtails and beautiful looks came out. Xu was because of the hot weather and she had just woken up, the fine hair on the little girl's sideburns was stuck to her cheeks with sweat, and her eyes were clear and bright.

The little girl tilted her head and said to the proprietress and said, "Mom, I'll go and wake up Daddy." ”

With that, the little girl jumped out of the counter, climbed onto the stool, and twisted the ears of the shopkeeper who was sleeping on the table. The shopkeeper was awakened in his sleep by his daughter's ear and pain, grinning and screaming, making the little girl giggle and laugh.

The shopkeeper, who was woken up by his daughter's ear, turned around and grabbed the little girl on the stool into his arms, and scratched the little girl's armpit with his hand: "Little girl, you know how to bully your father, see if you dare in the future." ”

The little girl laughed tears in her father's arms, and begged for mercy: "Daddy, let go of Qingqing, Qingqing will not do it in the future." ”

The proprietress behind the counter looked at the father and daughter who were just messing around, sighed and said, "Boss, don't make trouble, there are customers in the store." ”

The shopkeeper looked up and saw Han Fengge, who was sitting on the side watching them frolicking, and was a little embarrassed to let go of the little girl in his arms and let her go to play elsewhere, put the handkerchief on his shoulder and came to Han Fengge's table and asked with a smile: "Guest officer, what do you want to eat?"

Han Fengge said: "Just have two side dishes, and then a bowl of cold noodles to relieve the heat." ”

The shopkeeper smiled while wiping the table: "Guest officer, do you want to have a pot of wine?" Let's not talk about anything else in this small shop, this wine is still good, and the home-brewed plum wine is a must, do you want a pot?"

Han Fengge actually rarely drinks alcohol in ordinary times, but since Yun Mengze drank the stalactite wine, he has been a little obsessed with the contents of this cup. Immediately, he said to the shopkeeper: "Then come to a pot of green plum bars." ”

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Yes, you sit down and rest for a while, and I'll go make you a pot of tea first." As he spoke, he limped to get the teapot and made tea for Han Fengge, and then walked to the back kitchen.

After a while, the shopkeeper came to Han Fengge's table with two dishes, a plate of salted peanuts, a plate of sauced beef, and a small wine jug. Putting the wine and food on the table, the shopkeeper said, "You use it first, and I'll go and get cold noodles for you." ”

Since ancient times, the most difficult time in the eyes of ordinary people is this scorching summer. In winter, you can still add clothes to protect against the cold, but the heat of summer is extreme, and you can't take off your clothes anymore, and in the end you still have to bear the heat hard, so the folk call summer "bitter summer" because of this.

Although the summer heat is unbearable, ordinary people can't afford to build ice cellars, so they can only think of other ways to resist the heat. This cold noodle is one of them, and it is also the most affordable summer food for ordinary people and poor people, and the production is also very simple, the noodles are cooked, a bucket of well water is taken, and the noodles are placed in it, the entrance is cool and smooth, and it is deeply loved by the common people.

The green plum wine is refreshing and sweet in the mouth, without the spicy and strong nature of the spirits, but Han Fengge still drinks it very slowly, taking small sips of the green plum wine in the cup, it seems that he is savoring the sweetness of this green plum wine, but it is just that Han Fengge thinks that the amount of wine is very poor, and he is afraid that he will get drunk.

But Han Fengge's slow drinking appearance fell in the eyes of the lame shopkeeper, but he regarded him as a confidant who knew how to drink, and knew that what he brewed by himself had to be tasted carefully in order to taste its true taste, unlike those ordinary people in the past, who got carried away when they saw that their green plum wine did not have a trace of strongness, and finally fell drunk on the table. The shopkeeper regarded Han Fengge as his bosom friend and gave him a thumbs up with a grin.

Just as Han Fengge was slowly drinking, and the shopkeeper was grinning, a chaotic sound of horses' hooves sounded in the distance, and the official road outside the store was dusty. A group of more than a dozen horsemen stopped outside the door of the shop, and the dozen or so people on the horses were all well-dressed and fierce, led by a handsome young man with a gloomy and evil face, and an old servant with a gloomy face followed closely behind him.

The proprietress standing behind the counter saw the group of people outside the store, stretched out her hand to pull the little girl behind her, and looked at the young man with a look of fear on her face.

The shopkeeper limped out of the shop, stood at the door and said to the young man who was from an extraordinary background when he looked at his clothes: "What is the reason why Xiao Gongzi came here today?"

The young boy surnamed Xiao said with a wicked smile: "Cripple Wen, have you thought about it? You won't suffer if you give the sword to my son." ”

The lame shopkeeper surnamed Wen smiled slightly and said: "Xiao Gongzi, last time Wen Mou had already made it very clear that the Spring and Autumn Pen was given by Wen's friend, and he had no intention of selling it, if Xiao Gongzi came to drink today, Wen would welcome him, but if you came for that sword, I am afraid that Gongzi would have to run for nothing again." ”

The brother surnamed Xiao said with a fierce expression: "The surname Wen, the sword that this son has taken a fancy to you is your blessing, you don't want to toast and not eat and drink, what's the use of you holding that sword as a dead lame? ”

The shopkeeper surnamed Wen saw that he had murderous intent in his words, so he said: "Son, please go back, Wen has made up his mind, and the sword will definitely not be sold." With that, he turned around and walked back to the store.

Seeing that this crippled man still refused to sell the sword that he liked very much at first sight, the elder brother of the Xiao family couldn't help but feel angry, thinking that he, the eldest son of the Xiao family, was the heir of the Xiao family, one of the four great families in the world. He glanced at the guards beside him, and immediately two people stopped at the door of the store, surrounding the gentle lame.

The shopkeeper surnamed Wen turned to look at the Xiao Gongzi and smiled slightly: "What's the matter?

The boy surnamed Xiao laughed and said: "Cripple Wen, if you change your mind now and agree to sell that sword to my son, we can still negotiate the price, otherwise my son can only be unreasonable, there is nothing I Xiao Yuchuan can't get in this Gusu City realm!"

The lame shopkeeper frowned slightly and said, "If you really want to grab it, you can give it a try." ”

The boy brother said angrily: "Give me a shameless thing, give it to me, and kill this cripple." After speaking, he took a step back, and more than a dozen followers immediately hugged each other.

The door of the store was dusty, and it didn't take long for more than a dozen big men to fall on the ground. The shopkeeper surnamed Wen took off the handkerchief on his shoulders and gently patted the dust on his body, and the proprietress behind the counter in the store who was originally sticking out her head to worry about her man also withdrew her gaze, and then recounted the accounts that seemed to never be finished. Only Han Fengge slowly put down the wine glass and put his right hand next to the hilt of the city-destroying sword on the table.

The boy surnamed Xiao looked at the entourage lying on the ground and said hatefully: "Useless things, I raised you for nothing." After speaking, he stared at the lame shopkeeper and sneered: "Cripple Wen, do you think it's over beating a few dogs? Today, I'll let you see how powerful my Xiao Yuchuan is." ”

After the boy finished speaking, his whole body was full of spiritual energy, and he opened his palm and flexed his fingers like a hook to grab the lame shopkeeper's shoulder. The lame shopkeeper slid away on his tiptoes lightly and on one foot, trying to avoid his grasp, but he could not get rid of the entanglement of the boy step by step.

The lame shopkeeper was about to be grabbed by Xiao Yuchuan on the shoulder, and at this moment, an ancient sword flew out of the small shop at a very fast speed, sandwiching the sound of the wind, and stabbing Xiao Yuchuan's wrist. Xiao Yuchuan's ancient sword flew towards his wrist, and his wrist shrank in a hurry, which was able to avoid the blade, and the lame shopkeeper also turned around and stood at the door of the small shop.

The ancient sword came and went quickly, and with a whoosh, it flew back to the small shop and landed in the scabbard on Han Fengge's table, and Han Fengge picked up the wine glass again and began to slowly sip the already small amount of green plum wine.
