Xie Jiang and You Xiyun ate a few steamed buns in the tea shop, and now there is no one who has come to deliver the snails, Xie Jiang is drinking tea, and You Xiyun is napping directly on the table. In addition to Xie Jiang and them, there are three other tables in the tea shop, as if they are here to shelter from the rain. There is a table Xie Jiang has the impression that a few days ago in Linjiang Building, there were also these two monks, the big fat monk was holding a very heavy Zen staff, the little monk brought a ring knife, and the two of them were drinking. A big man with a disheveled hair was drinking wildly, with a big scar on the left side of his face, and an iron chain as thick as the base of a teacup was tied to his left hand, almost five feet long. At the other table, a woman with a green gauze brought a teenage girl to peel water chestnuts, which were peeled very carefully, and there was almost no sound. The first two tables Xie Jiang had not yet arrived, and they were already here, and the green gauze woman brought a little girl, who came later after the rain. Outside the tea shop, there is a person hiding from the rain under the eaves, a man in Tsing Yi, carrying a long burden, the person stands very straight, the burden seems to be very heavy, the man in Tsing Yi came and put the end of the burden on the ground, he came after the woman.

"I'm afraid I won't be able to collect much of the snails today, hehe!" Boss Li came to pour tea.

"It shouldn't matter, it's as much as you collect, there won't be many people who come to eat on rainy days, and I used to raise some. ”

"That's good, 'it's raining and it's the Qingming Festival, and it's going on and off for three months' this year is only afraid that it will be a watery year!"

"Your old man lives in the mountains, what are you afraid of!haha!" Xie Jiang looked at the rain that was getting heavier and heavier and played with Boss Li.

"Bang, bang, got" There was a sound of horses' hooves, a black horse galloped in the rain, and when it reached the tea shop, it stopped, and a handsome man in armor got off the horse and ran into the store, bringing a simple burden and a bright half-moon halberd.

"Look at the tea shop, what the hell is this weather, you have to come out to work on such a bad day," complained as he shook his hat.

"If you don't come out to work, what will you eat, little brother, hehe!" the green gauze woman looked at the man who had just come in and laughed.

"Yo he, this tea shop is really lively today, when did this lady come!"

"You like to be lively, do you want to be quiet, I'm only a little earlier than you. ”

At this time, a man wearing a hat and a cloak came from inside the rain, carrying a burlap bag and rushing straight into the tea shop. The man glanced at the store and asked, "Boss Li, didn't Brother Xiaowu come over there?"

"Brother Xiaowu didn't come, I came to collect the snails on behalf of Brother Xiaowu," Xie Jiang immediately picked up.

Everyone else in the tea shop took a look at this side and went to drink tea again.

"Seeing that it would rain heavily in the afternoon, I touched some of it, and I was too lazy to go out later, you see how much. ”

"Okay, big brother drink tea, Boss Li will come and see Jin Liang. ”

"Okay," Boss Li happily ran over.

"It's not just lively, it's also very messy," said the man on horseback just now.

"Don't worry, I'll clean it later, little brother," replied the green-gauze woman. Xie Jiang thought that the woman would peel some water chestnuts, and Boss Li would clean it, where could she clean it. The snail seller also sat at a table with Xie Jiang to drink tea after weighing the snails, and Xie Jiang ordered two steamed buns and a plate of water chestnuts to eat.

The rain was heavy again, and the sound of water droplets under the eaves was non-stop, and the voices in the tea shop were not clear. Occasionally, a breath of wind blew, bringing all the splashed water vapor to the shop, and Boss Li beckoned the Tsing Yi man standing outside to come in and sit, because he saw that the Tsing Yi man's trouser legs were all wet, and the long burden was already wet, but the Tsing Yi man did not appreciate it, and still stood straight under the eaves outside the tea shop.

At this time, another horse came in the rain, and the people on the horse were also wearing hats, robes, and standard rainy day dress. Although the rain was heavy, this person was not in a hurry, and he had no intention of entering the tea shop. When the horse walked to the front of the tea shop, the man in Tsing Yi, who had been standing under the eaves, spoke.

"Brother, don't you come in and take shelter from the rain?"

The man on the horse did not speak, but stopped the horse, nor did he dismount, and one man and one horse stood at the door of the tea shop and did not move. The atmosphere was strange and depressing. You Xiyun seemed to feel it, and raised his head to look at the man and the horse. Xie Jiang recognized this horse and this person, it was Liu Lian, and the last time he listened to the lecture in Caolu, it was also this person's horse.

At this time, an arrow flew from the sky and flew towards Liu Lian, Liu Lian raised his hand, and the arrow was bounced away by the sword in Liu Lian's hand. It was an arrow shot from the city wall, and the atmosphere inside the tea shop immediately became tense, and everyone looked outside, and the handsome man with the half-moon halberd had already gotten up and shouted, "Clear the field!"

Xie Jiang stared outside, Liu Lian had just flicked off the flying arrows, and the man in Tsing Yi who had stopped his horse had already made a move. He picked up the burden around him and pulled it, and swung a big chopping knife, with a three-foot-long hilt and a three-foot-long blade, slashing at this person and a horse. With a one-inch thick back and a five-inch wide blade, no one in the rivers and lakes will use their own sword to carry the 'heavy door cut', let alone the precious 'Nirvana Sword' in Liu Lian's hand. Liu Lian dismounted, and the poor horse had been cut in half, and the horse's blood splashed directly into the tea shop.

The horse's blood was splashed with water chestnut, the water chestnut of the green yarn woman who peeled the water chestnut just now. You Xiyun picked up the burlap bag of the snail seller next to him, and the water chestnut that flew to Xie Jiang and You Xiyun had been beaten down by the cloth bag, but the person who came to sell snails just now was not so lucky, the water chestnut hit his body and face, and pierced a few holes in his body, blood flowed out from the small holes, and the person was already lying on the ground, his hands and feet were still twitching.

"Xie Jiang stand behind me," You Xiyun shouted to wake Xie Jiang up.

The situation took a sharp turn, and the tea shop that was calm just now suddenly became bloody.

"Yo, this young man is good!" said the green gauze woman with a smile, but the others stared at the outside seriously, maybe this woman saw that no one paid attention to him, but she didn't force You Xiyun and them anymore, and looked outside herself.

Behind Xie Jiang was the south wall of the tea shop, You Xiyun was standing in front of him, and he had already picked up his sword, seeing that the others did not move, You Xiyun did not move. There were already two people lying on the ground, the snail seller and Boss Li. The situation outside the tea shop has changed again, the man in Tsing Yi with a big chopping knife is already standing next to him, and the man in armor and holding a half-moon halberd is facing Liu Lian in front of the tea shop. Liu Lian had already removed the hat on his body and was holding an overlord gun, but unexpectedly there was a row of hats and clothes standing a few feet behind Liu Lian. Could it be that these people are here to maintain order?

The formation has been set up, waiting for the gong to start.
