The town is not big.

There are many fishing boats parked on the river, and it can be seen that the residents of the town rely on the mountains and water for food, and many people are engaged in fishing.

A few white waterfowl flew and circled on the river, a carp swam to the surface of the water, biting a piece of steamed bread crumbs thrown by a child, rolling out a big wave circle between the turning, it bit the steamed dandruffs, and when it was about to sink again, it was targeted by a long-waiting waterfowl in the air. The waterfowl spread its wings and flew quickly, grasping the carp firmly on its claws as it was about to sink.

With one blow, the waterfowl screamed and flew away, presumably in search of a safe place to enjoy a rare meal.

"Xianggong, let's get off the boat and take a look!" Luo Xin'er said boredly.

After sailing on the river for several days, except for the novelty and fun at first, the rest is the same boredom.

Every day, I see water and water, and I accidentally see a town with some fireworks, Luo Xin'er is of course eager to try, and wants to get off the boat to have a look, and visit the town's night market by the way.

"Father won't allow it. ”

"Xianggong, it's okay, I can protect you. ”

After speaking, Luo Xin'er flashed her long sword. Now she is already a chivalrous woman who has done kung fu.

“......”

"Xianggong, I want to go and see it too! I heard from afar that there seemed to be someone in the town doing a happy event, and there seemed to be a social drama to watch, so we just went to have a good time. ”

Hua Jieyu is usually very well-behaved, but today I don't know what's wrong, and I'm a little rebellious.

She also said: "I can also protect Xianggong." ”

As she spoke, she flashed her sword as well.

This little girl, like Luo Xin'er now, can also do some kung fu.

The two women talked about this, and Lin Xiuran naturally had no reason not to allow it, so he nodded, which was regarded as an agreement.

But he made an agreement with them for three chapters, and he couldn't get off the boat until it was completely dark, otherwise he would alarm Lin Weiyuan.

The two women nodded like pounded garlic and readily agreed.

......

Once again, night fell quietly.

The sky is dark and deep, and the black water surface on the river is a piece of practice, in addition to the big ship of Lin Fu is brightly lit, there are only a few mustard fishing boats lit with bean lights, the fishing lights on the boat flicker in the river breeze, bright and extinguished, and the lights of the town on the shore form a sharp contrast.

The little maid Taogen was left on the ship just in case, to deal with those who might come to disturb her, so as not to be seen by Lin Weiyuan's people.

Lin Xiuran took Luo Xin'er and Hua Jieyu and sneaked to the stern of the boat, put down a small boat, and rowed to the shore.

The sound of the water was murmuring, Lin Xiuran rowed the boat, and the boat slowly approached the shore.

Luo Xin'er looked around excitedly, but Hua Jieyu stared at Lin Xiuran all the time, and Yingying's eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles and admiration.

When the boat reached the shore, Lin Xiuran tied the boat to the shore, and then landed on the shore with the two women holding long swords.

This town is called Qingfeng Town, and there are more than 1,000 households.

Today is the day of worshipping ancestors and welcoming gods in Qingfeng Town, so the town has set up a theater and invited a well-known opera troupe in the vicinity to come over to sing.

The town is brightly lit, and homemade lanterns are placed in front of each door.

For poor people, the style of the lantern is simpler, just use thin bamboo strips to build a lantern style, paste it with a layer of white paper on the outside, and light a candle on the inside, which is completed.

In the wealthy family, there are too many lantern patterns, there are hundreds of lanterns to cooperate with, layer upon layer, ingenious, with exquisite materials, originality, and both.

Lin Xiuran, Luo Xin'er, and Hua Jieyu were dazzled and dizzying during their walk.

This folk custom has a special interest.

Luo Xin'er and Hua Jieyu pulled Lin Xiuran to watch the street juggling, watched the stage singing, and unknowingly, they pulled Lin Xiuran into a two-story restaurant in the town.

The shopkeeper saw that the three of them were dressed decently and extraordinary, and saw that the two girls were each holding a long sword in their hands, and knew that the people who came were not ordinary, either a rich boy and brother traveled with the United States, or a young man of which faction came out with two little sisters to explore the rivers and lakes, and without thinking about it, he welcomed the three of them to the private room on the second floor.

"Come, three guest officers, please come here. ”

The three of them followed the shopkeeper upstairs and came to the upstairs private room.

When they entered the private room, the two women were a little disappointed - because this private room had no windows, and they couldn't see the street scene outside the window.

Lin Xiuran shook his head and said, "Is there anyone who can see the scenery outside the house on the street?"

"This son, it's really unfortunate, today's local liveliness, there is only this one left, the other private rooms are full, there is really no way. "The shopkeeper is embarrassed.

"Xianggong, forget it, it's good here. Although Luo Xin'er was a little disappointed, she opened her mouth to persuade Lin Xiuran not to be too demanding.

"Yes, Xianggong, it's okay. Hua Jieyu also said.

Lin Xiuran didn't want to disappoint the two girls, so he took a piece of silver from the money bag and threw it to the shopkeeper.

When the shopkeeper saw that this boy was so generous, he thanked him again and again.

"Thank you, thank you. ”

"Is there one now?" Lin Xiuran asked with a smile.

The shopkeeper still frowned, and said, "This son, I don't hide it, it's really gone." ”

Lin Xiuran couldn't hide the atmosphere of the local tyrant, and wanted to pick up a piece of silver in the money bag, but was stopped by the shopkeeper, and said: "This son, there is really no more, today is the liveliest day of the year in the local area, every household has come out to join in the fun, and there is really only this private room left in the shop." ”

"But ......"

"But what?"

"But we really have a private room with a view of the lively street outside the window, but it's just ......"

"It's just been occupied by a monk. That's what I just did. This monk was dressed in tatters, his clothes were torn, and his shoes were torn, and we were about to drive him away, but he forced his way up to the private room on the second floor, sat down at the window, looked at the street scene outside, and did not order food or speak. ”

The shopkeeper called someone to rush, and he didn't resist, but we just couldn't drag him, like a thousand-pound weighing weight, and a bold man went up and gave him a few sticks, and discounted the sticks, but he didn't respond at all, and didn't even scream, and we knew at a glance that it was not an ordinary person, and we didn't dare to go over, so we let him sit there. ”

"This son, if you are not afraid of trouble, you can go to him and try it, but the poor monk is by no means an extraordinary person, and the son still has to think twice. ”

"Got it, let's go!"

Lin Xiuran said, threw him another piece of silver, ordered a few more side dishes, and ordered a pot of wine.

The shopkeeper took the silver that Lin Xiuran had rewarded in his hand, happily wrote down the dishes, nodded and closed the door for them, and went to the kitchen to tell the chef to stir-fry.

The shopkeeper left, but Luo Xin'er and Hua Jieyu frowned.

They said almost in unison: "Xianggong, don't cause trouble, don't go!"

“......”

Lin Xiuran's face was full of black lines, you had to get off the boat, but now he told himself not to cause trouble, and let you say anything.

"Do I look like someone who is going to cause trouble?"

"Like, really like!" Luo Xin'er snorted.

"Hee-hee!"

Hua Xie Yu covered his mouth and laughed quietly.

"Okay, okay, I'm not going. ”

Lin Xiuran faced the opposition of the two daughters, so he had to give up.

It's just a street view outside the window, just go out and see after eating.

The menu gradually came up.

Steamed mandarin fish, stir-fried greens, fish head tofu soup, and stir-fried shrimp with cucumber.

Lin Xiuran, Luo Xin'er, and Hua Jieyu's two daughters, happily raised their chopsticks.

Lin Xiuran dealt with Fisheye Beads again.

He stared at the eyes of the mandarin fish on the plate, poked it for a long time, and finally clamped it to the chopsticks, and was about to put it in his mouth, but he heard a loud "clang" outside the house, his hand shook, and the "mandarin fish eyeball" also clicked and fell to the ground.

“......”

The shopkeeper happened to come to serve the food again, and opened the door and came in.

Lin Xiuran frowned and asked, "What happened outside the house?"

The shopkeeper lowered his voice and whispered: "It's still related to the poor monk, he has been occupying the private room, it just so happened that Liu Qi, the gangster leader in the town, also came, smashed the door with a vase, and the shopkeeper couldn't stop it, it is estimated that it will have to fight in a while, if the three guest officers don't want to be disturbed, it is better to close the door." ”

"Got it, let's go down!"

Lin Xiuran said and waved his hand.

"Xianggong, who do you say this monk is, why is it so strange that he dominates the room and doesn't let people use it?" Luo Xin'er was still a little sullen about the poor monk snatching her private room facing the street.

"I know who that person is!" Lin Xiuran said with a smile.

"Who is it?" Hua Xie Yu also asked curiously.

"Half a year ago, the monk of the Great Compassion Temple who climbed to the top of the Golden Scale Mountain on the Golden Scale Mountain - Yuanzhi!"

"Ahh

Luo Xin'er and Hua Xie spoke, and exclaimed at the same time.
