Chapter 188: Centenarians
"Guest officer, this is the wine and food you want, all the food and drinks are here, please use it slowly!" Xiao Er hurriedly went to another table after speaking.
"I'm really hungry after a long day's journey! I can't hold back my saliva when I look at these dishes, so I eat them first! I like this little fried meat so much!" Youqu hurriedly picked up his chopsticks and ate them.
"Brother Yang, there won't be anything wrong with us coming out like this!" Wen Ruyu said with some worry.
"Everything in the city has been arranged, there is nothing to worry about!" Yang An said.
"But where are we going now?"
"Brother Leng came to me yesterday and said that his master Dongting Lake received a provocation from the enemy, and most of the people in Dongting Lake came to Shaoxing to save me, only his master's family was there, and he was weak, so he hurried back!"
"Dongting Lake is a new sect of the four major sects, although it is not as famous as the Wudang faction, and its power should not be underestimated, who dares to move them easily?" Wen Ruyu felt a little strange!
"Yes, most of the forces in the martial arts are in Shaoxing City, and there are indeed not many people who have the ability to be enemies of Dongting, if there is, then it is by no means an idle person, I asked Brother Leng to bring more people on the road, he refused!"
"So, you're still not at ease, you have to go and see for yourself!"
"That's right!"
"Dongting Lake, isn't that quite close to our house? Let's go home and take a look at grandma when the time comes! Actually, I've been thinking about grandma for a long time, but Brother Yang, you've been very busy, I'm embarrassed to say!"
"Okay, my mother must miss us when she is home alone!"
Wen Ruyu saw them like this, his heart couldn't help but be like a stab, at this time, a beggar came in from outside the door, not very old, knocking on the bamboo board, chanting words in his mouth, most of them were some compliments, he wanted to ask for a reward, everyone ignored him, he walked in front of Wen Ruyu, and said, "Girl, give a reward!"
Youqu smiled: "You beggar is interesting, you robbed other people's work as an artist!
"Girl, don't say it, I used to be an artist, but then I couldn't get along, those people would rather give money to beggars than give us, and then I thought, let's change careers, how comfortable beggars are, and they don't have to act, they don't have to sing, they can find a place to lie down, and they can get money. I made a beggar only to find out, this beggar, there is also a way, like me, young and able-bodied, no one gives, later, ah, I invented a new industry, combined this art and begging, it will be what I am now, don't say, it really works! Seeing that I am pitiful, I can talk again, and I can pay it back, barely survive!" The beggar spoke a dialect that was not very pleasant, but Yang An and they could understand it!
"You're so smart!" Yuqu said.
The beggar looked at Wen Ruyu again, and said: "Girl, you look at your good wine and good food, why are you not happy! This person, when you don't worry about eating and drinking, you will have so many worries, when the three meals are not good, you will only worry about one thing, that is, where to get food, full of warm thoughts, the predecessors have said!
"You eat!" Wen Ruyu pushed her food in front of the beggar!
The beggar was full of food and drink, and said, "The girl gave up my little beggar, but whether she can get it depends on God's will!"
"That's how you eat and drink?" Yuqu didn't really blame him, but thought he was funny.
"This girl, it's not right for you to say that, this girl who gave me wine and food definitely didn't give me alms for what I said, wouldn't the girl live up to this girl's good intentions by saying this?"
Youqu smiled: "With your clever mouth, you didn't eat this meal in vain!"
"Since the girl said that I didn't eat in vain, then I will take my leave!"
Yang An said: "Tell Xiao Er to serve some more food, it may not be until the evening to eat, you can't bear it if you don't eat!"
Xiao Er cleaned up the beggar's dishes and chopsticks, and added some food, Wen Ruyu was about to eat, a girl sat down and said, "I'm tired to death, Sister Ruyu, I'm starving, anyway, you've eaten almost, let me eat two bites first!"
"Water girl, why are you here?" Wen Ruyu said.
"I'm going to go down the mountain to Emei to get something, by the way, Lord Yang, where are you going?"
Yang An said in his heart, even this girl knows that he has gone down the mountain, and it seems that the people in the entire alliance know!
Yang An said: "Say, who are the people here?"
"Back to the alliance leader, it's just me and Brother Mei, there is no one else!" Shui Ying said, and Mei Fengxiao walked in!
"How did you come so fast?" Yang An asked.
"You still owe me a promise, what if you take the opportunity to slip away?" Mei Fengxiao said.
"It must be Zhang Qi's alliance leader, they asked you to come with you!" Yang An said.
Shui Ying smiled helplessly and said, "Lord Yang won't drive us back, right?"
"It's all here, what else can I do, I just want to run, can I run away?" said and said to Xiao Er, "A few more dishes!"
After eating and drinking, Shui Ying asked, "Alliance leader, where are we going?"
"Take you to meet the scenery of our Jingzhou!"
They rode their horses for a long time, and when it was almost nightfall, they saw an old man in front of them with white hair and a spear on his back, but he walked with great vigor.
Wen Ruyu said: "Youqu, you see that this old man also uses a gun!"
"I've seen his gun, it seems to be used by officers and soldiers!" Youqu said.
Yang An said: "Even if he is not a soldier, at such an old age, we should respect it, looking at the burden he carries, it should be a long journey." It's almost to the town in front, Youqu, you give the horse to the old man, ride one with Ruyu first, and then buy you a horse when you get to the town!"
"Okay!" Youqu got off the horse, walked up to the old man, and said, "Old man, this horse is for you!"
The old man was a little overwhelmed, seeing that there were many people with Youqu, and they were all young and strong, he subconsciously touched his burden!
"Grandpa, don't you know how to ride a horse?" asked Yuqu.
The old man looked at Youqu with a sincere face, let down his guard, and said: "Who said that I can't ride, when I ride a horse, you little dolls don't know where they are?" Although the old man spoke politely, his expression became pleasant, and after speaking, he kicked up, and was about to help the old man with Youqu stunned.
"This horse is good, how can I pay you back!" said the old man.
"No need, just give it to my grandfather!"
"That's not good, in this case, I'm going to go to Dongting Lake now, and when I come back, I'll wait for you in the town in front of me!"
"In this way, if the old man doesn't want this horse at that time, he will give it to other people in need!" Yang An said.
"That's fine, there will be a date later!"
