Volume 1 Chapter 3 A Great Golden Worm
After Jin Chongyin went down the mountain, he kept walking north. He has been practicing "Rou Shen Gong" since he was a child, and his internal strength is much stronger than that of ordinary people. But after a day of walking, blisters formed under my feet. When he was resting on the side of the road, he was dusted by a team of centaurs, and he choked for a long time, and suddenly slapped his thigh - yes! Why didn't I think of buying a horse?
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it, and he went until nightfall, and he did not find a place to buy a horse. It was getting darker and darker, and he faintly saw an apricot curtain in front of him, which was held high outside. Jin Chongyin was hungry and dizzy. He staggered into the tavern, and saw a table of guests eating noodles, and he didn't care to pick and choose, so he ordered a bowl of oily noodles to eat.
The old man sitting at the counter was not very enthusiastic, he just buried himself in studying the "Book of Changes", and the little girl who greeted the guests was quite likable, serving tea and water diligently, Jin Chongyin placed an order, and she ran back to the kitchen to be busy. But after a while, there was a pleasant "stabbing" sound in the kitchen, and Jin Chongyin's hungry stomach was comforted a little.
He looked forward, and there was a young man sitting at the table in front of him, sitting with a bow beside him, and one leg on the bench, eating his noodles with great devotion. He buried almost all his face in the wide bowl, his chopsticks kept clutching, his mouth made a "snoring" sound, and some of the noodles were swallowed into his stomach without even chewing them. He also pinched a clove of garlic, a mouthful of garlic in a mouthful of noodles, and bit the garlic with a rattle.
After a bowl of noodles, he had a long burp, put the bowl down, and said heroically: "Little sister, another bowl!"
"Hey!" replied crisply in the kitchen.
The young man turned his head, only to find that Jin Chongyin was looking at him in a daze, and he was swallowing a mouthful of saliva from time to time, as if he was his prey. The young man raised his chopsticks and shook them at Jin Chongyin a few times, before he came back to his senses, swallowed another mouthful of saliva, and then hurriedly looked away.
Jin Chongyin has never seen such a rough way to eat, and he has never seen anyone who can eat a bowl of rural coarse noodles with the momentum of delicacies from the mountains and seas. He was so hungry that he unconsciously touched the garlic on the table and secretly peeled it.
The little girl brought the two bowls of noodles together, and the young man devoured them again. Jin Chongyin took a bite of garlic carefully in the sound of swallowing, and no one around him looked at him, so he took a big bite. This noodle is very strong, topped with minced meat, sprinkled with green onion and sesame seeds, poured with oil, immediately full of aroma, and with the spicy taste of garlic, it is even more delicious to words. Unconsciously, Jin Chongyin also snorted and ate. If he was at home, he would inevitably be ridiculed as a "wild man" by his parents.
The young man finished eating a bowl of noodles in three or five bites, he wiped his mouth with his hand and said, "Little sister, settle the bill!"
"Two bowls of noodles, a total of ten cents!"
As soon as he heard "ten cents", Jin Chongyin's mouth was stuffed with noodles and he was stunned. When I was a child, I was almost sold by my father for ten dollars, and it turned out that this shadow could stay in my heart for so long.
The young man touched all over his body, barely touched a few copper plates, stretched out his hand and grinned: "I have so much money, or will I pay for the rest?"
The kindness on the little girl's face disappeared immediately, she walked into the kitchen without saying a word, and when she came out again, she was holding a kitchen knife in her hand. She raised her eyebrows and shouted, "If you don't give money, I'll chop up the lower half of your body, and then feed the dogs!"
The young man immediately put away his hippie smile, put his hand in front of his crotch, and begged: "I'm really desperate, just let me work here for you to pay off, okay?"
The little girl's eyes widened, and she rubbed the two knives into a loud one: "No, our deserted village and wild shop, my father still thinks I'm redundant, where can I keep outsiders?"
As soon as the little girl's words fell, the old man straightened up, and unknowingly found a hemp rope and put the young man up. The young man looked at the bow beside him and secretly shouted, "Bitter!"
Perhaps seeing that this young man was also a bow practitioner, Jin Chongyin was moved by compassion, he drank the shopkeeper's father and daughter, took out a few pieces of broken silver from his arms, and said, "Is this money enough?"
The girl's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly took a few pieces of broken silver. He glanced at Jin Chongyin again, and thought, what a fool, I only need ten cents, and he can buy these broken houses for all these things he gave me!
The girl didn't say anything more, but put the money in her pocket with a smile, and motioned for her father to release the young man.
The young man was extremely grateful, and said to Jin Chongyin: "Dare to ask Brother Taizun's surname? Today's kindness, I, Dong Hedong, should repay the spring." ”
Jin Chongyin remembered that the third uncle had told him not to easily reveal that he was a descendant of the Jin family, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble. Although he is a bit stupid, he is still very attentive to the advice of his elders. So he said to the young man, "It's not a trivial matter. Then he turned to the girl and said, "This girl, you don't have to give me the extra money just now, give it to this brother, and use it as a coil on the road!"
The girl was very happy when she got the silver, and suddenly heard Jin Chongyin ask her to give all the change to the young man, so she immediately pulled down her face, walked to the counter, and said angrily, "Where can I find it?"
Jin Chongyin didn't give up: "Then the two of you are half of each other, isn't it okay?"
The girl thought he was a fool, but she didn't expect to have a stubborn temper. She sighed, weighed the broken silver in her hand, and carefully divided half of it among the young man. The young man was very reluctant to go, but now he was penniless, and if he did not accept the money, he would starve to death on the road sooner or later.
So he borrowed money and said to Jin Chongyin: "Thank you, brother! When we meet in the future, I will definitely repay your great kindness." ”
"It's fine, not much money at all. My mother said that giving a lot of money to others for no reason will make people lose face. It's not a lot of money, but it's enough for you for a few days, so go find an errand to do!"
After Jin Chongyin finished speaking, he continued to sit down and eat noodles. The young man was so touched that he shook him, took his bow, and disappeared into the night.
The noodles were all sticky together, Jin Chongyin ate a few bites, frowned, and said, "This girl, please help me make another bowl! I'll pay the price for two bowls." ”
The girl yawned and said lazily, "It's too late, this girl has to rest." Anyway, there's not much left in this bowl of noodles, so you can make do with it!"
Jin Chongyin said: "Eating is the top priority, how can you make do with it?"
The girl sneered twice at the corner of her mouth: "It looks like a nerd, but I didn't expect to be a particular person!"
Jin Chongyin's face turned red and he no longer defended, but insisted on letting the girl make a bowl of noodles again. The girl didn't want to listen to him anymore, and wanted to get him away as soon as possible, so she went back to the kitchen. Who knew that she had just lifted the curtain in the kitchen, only to hear a "bang", Jin Chongyin actually fell straight back.
The girl exclaimed, "Dad, did you drug him?"
The old man smiled slyly: "A boy like him, but a big fat sheep once in a thousand years, who will he slaughter if he doesn't slaughter?"
The girl frowned: "But he's a kind person!"
"Cut, when I was drugged before, why didn't I think so much?" The old man began to pick up Jin Chongyin's clothes and said: "Come and take a hand, after snatching him, let's quickly leave this place where birds don't and go to Huayang City to have a good time!"
As soon as the girl heard "Huayang City", she suddenly surged with infinite yearning, and together with her father, she picked up Jin Chongyin's body. The old man picked up the "Star Sword" and was full of praise: "Sell this sword, it's enough for the two of us to live a lifetime!"
Jin Chongyin still has a long-life lock around his neck, but the lock seems to grow on him, and he can't get it off. The girl exerted her strength for a long time, but reluctantly gave up: "Okay, let the longevity lock accompany you!"
The father and daughter packed their belongings as fast as they could, and blew out all the lights. The old man was very greedy, and put away Jin Chongyin's clothes, because those clothes were also worth a lot of money. The old man wanted to end his life with a knife, but the girl saw the young face reflected in the moonlight, and she begged: "Dad, we have already killed many people, and now we have to leave here, there is no need to kill again, or the Bodhisattva will not bless us." ”
The old man thought about it, and it seemed to make sense, so he put away the broken knife. The girl looked at Jin Chongyin with a red stripe, and suddenly couldn't bear it, so she pulled a torn quilt from the back room and covered him. She leaned down and muttered, "You're pretty good-looking!"
In the early morning of the next day, Jin Chongyin was woken up by freezing. The anesthetic was so powerful that he woke up still dizzy. Seeing that he was stripped of only a pair of underwear, and that the star sword, coiling, and even his coat were gone, he suddenly sobered up, and then became extremely depressed, constantly rubbing his cheeks.
He remembered the words of the third uncle, although he was not chopped into meat sauce now, but he was almost naked, which was more shameful than being hacked to death. The rivers and lakes are really not something that ordinary people can break into, and after finding the snow toad, he has to hurry home.
Wrapped in a quilt, he searched the house in a frenzy, but could not find a single garment to cover his body. He sat on the stool and got angry, but he didn't know who did it, and he didn't know who to scold if he wanted to.
There was a rush of running outside the door, and Jin Chongyin subconsciously wrapped the quilt tighter. To his surprise, the little girl who made him noodles last night actually came back, and she ran so quickly that she brought back his clothes and the Star Sword.
Jin Chongyin's mouth grew in surprise, and he even forgot to get angry. The little girl couldn't help but say, put the clothes in front of him, and said, "Hurry up and put them on, or my father will chase after me." ”
Jin Chongyin stammered and asked, "You...... Why are you helping me?"
"Don't ask, do as I say!" the little girl stomped her foot and said, "It's verbose, beware that you can't even have any panties left!"
Jin Chongyin blushed with shame, immediately ran to the back room, and quickly changed his clothes. The little girl glanced at him with satisfaction, took his hand without hesitation, and said, "Let's run together!"
Jin Chongyin held the star sword in one hand, and was pulled by the little girl with one hand, running in the late autumn wind. The cold air is blowing in the face, and the fallen leaves fall from time to time in the forest. The little girl looked back and smiled, just as a chestnut puff fell on Jin Chongyin's head, he said "oops" and stopped.
The little girl giggled and said, "Okay, if you don't run, my father probably won't be able to catch up." ”
Jin Chongyin touched his head, bared his teeth and grinned, "Now can you tell me what's going on?"
The little girl pursed her lips and said, "Then you have to tell me first, who are you!
The girl's eyes were as big as copper bells, as clear as the spring water of a mountain stream, and when she was looked at by those big eyes, Jin Chongyin was immediately stupid, and involuntarily blurted out: "Jin Chongyin." ”
After hearing this, the little girl immediately laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist and said, "It turned out to be a big golden worm!"
