The ninety-ninth return to the Mountain Inn

"Today, such a treacherous person came out of the six doors, and with Lin Zhukuai's superior martial arts, he was forced to surrender, what objections do you have to become a second-class catcher? If there is no next assessment, you can choose to postpone the re-examination or the examiner abstains" Liu Yunmei naturally saw the emptiness of the internal force in Lin Hao's body, not to mention the assessment, even if he stood up, it took a lot of effort.

The rest of the examiners looked at each other a few times, Huang Shitao was dead, and there was no need for them to obey orders. And they were originally loyal to the Great Song Dynasty, so they naturally liked Lin Yan and other powerful young talents: "We choose to abstain!"

Several examiners chose to abstain one by one, one is a recognition of Lin Yan's strength, and the same is an appreciation and friendship for Lin Yan.

Anyone who is now serving in the Six Gates, the Six Doors will arrange a house for them to live in, and Lin Yan slowly came to this house with the support of Zhang Zixi. Without a pause, Lin Yan immediately sat cross-legged on the edge of the bed and meditated and breathed, this Dafa is really domineering, if it is not repelled in time, I am afraid that the martial arts will be abolished. Fortunately, it is now possible to recover just by meditating and pranayama.

In the following period of time, Lin Yan was officially on the throne, and he also completed the monthly tasks one after another. Two years have passed like this again....

......

And on this day, the sun rose, the sky was as blue as water, and the earth was silvery white.

In a circle of uneven rammed earth walls, two bare doorways in the east and west connect a dirt street, and the ice cubes under the eaves are crystal clear, falling like pearls.

A dog barked, a few wisps of cooking smoke, and a new day of heavy snow and wind began.

A black dog sprinkled joy on the snow, leaving a string of paw prints, and ran into a courtyard on the north side of the road.

On the gate of the courtyard, a flag is obliquely picked up - 'Yizi Hui Inn'.

The word Hui Inn is facing the wine shop, and a few neat brick houses in the courtyard are the guest rooms of the inn. The courtyard of the inn is quite large, and it can park twenty or thirty horses and two large carts, which still looks very spacious. It is said that the name of this inn was given by a Buddhist monk who passed by this place when he was suffering.

Recently, the heavy snow has been flying, and some guests have come to the foot of Daxue Mountain, which is three or four miles away from Kumuling, after a whole day of running and tired.

"Little Black! There's something delicious here!" a crisp voice sounded, and a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl ran out of the stove next to the wine shop, holding a bone in her hand, and dancing straight at the black dog.

This girl's black dog is called Xiao Hei, and the name is also appropriate. Seeing a handsome man who was full of vicissitudes of life playing with the black dog, the girl's white and red face showed a smile and said generously: "Guest officer, why don't you go to the wine shop and drink some hot soup to warm up?"

Xiao Hei had heard the sound and ran over, and the girl squatted down and patted Xiao Hei's head, threw down the bone in her hand, and smiled at the handsome man.

The man nodded slightly, but the breath between his eyebrows that did not take the vicissitudes of life was suddenly sad. The man stepped into the inn.

Shopkeeper Tan is in his early fifties, his thin body is wrapped in a thick leather robe, under the sheepskin hat, his black and red face is full of wrinkles, and his cloudy eyes are full of joy. He was cowering behind the counter of the liquor store, twisting his goatee and looking at the account book in his hand.

The foot of this snow-capped mountain is located in the northernmost part of Hezhou, in a remote area, and the snow ridge and Tongbei Road are notoriously difficult to travel, in the past, there were not many business travelers passing through here, and the business of the inn was naturally light. However, this bit of inheritance left by the ancestors cannot be lost in vain, fortunately, the neighbors come to cheer every three or five times, and the woodcutters and hunters in the mountains also occasionally come to rest, so that Tan's inn can still barely maintain.

Yesterday's heavy snowfall made Shopkeeper Tan have no hope for business in the past few days. Unexpectedly, someone braved the wind and snow and walked out of the snowy mountain range. The gang stayed at their inn last night, and they won't be able to leave for a while. The man should be able to earn himself some money by eating horses.

Shopkeeper Tan inevitably served diligently, and even gave his house to a few distinguished guests. As long as the guest is satisfied, the silver will go into the pocket.

"Dad! Most of these people haven't gotten up yet, and at noon, they need to prepare more wine and meat!" As soon as the curtain was lifted, a dull voice sounded, and a tall man in his thirties limped in. His beard was unshaven, his face was gloomy, and his leather robe was wrapped around his body indiscriminately, and after he finished speaking to the shopkeeper Tan, he looked at the empty wine shop with a depressed expression.

Seeing that it was his son Tan Baojian, the joy on the face of the shopkeeper Tan disappeared. He closed the account book and said slowly: "Let Xiao Yun prepare more steamed buns, and let the pillar stew two more sheep!"

When talking to his son, Tan's voice was low and old.

Tan Baojian nodded silently and slowly turned to leave. Looking at the limping figure, the cloudy eyes of the shopkeeper Tan showed gloom, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In his early years, his son was also a good man with strong martial arts, he was chivalrous and righteous, and he married a good daughter-in-law. Oh my God's eyes!

"Shopkeeper, what delicious food is sold here?" The door curtain shook, but it was the handsome man who had vicissitudes of life who walked in, and when he saw the shopkeeper's expression, he was a little curious.

Hearing the sound, the shopkeeper Tan was busy calming down, only to see that his son had walked out of the door, and it was a young man who came in, carrying a sword behind his back, who seemed to be a Taoist, but there was a man wearing chivalrous clothes and looking at him with a smile on his face. Isn't this exactly the group of guests who came last night? He hurriedly smiled and said: "Look at my old and dizzy-eyed guests, you have lost your manners when you come to the door, forgive your sins!

As he spoke, a smile appeared on the black and red face of the shopkeeper Tan, and he led the handsome man to a table leaning against the wall, wiped the stool with his sleeve, and invited the guests to sit down, before he smiled and said: "This place is deserted, and the small shop is also simple, if there is any inconsiderate hospitality, I hope the guest officer will forgive me one or two!"

"The shopkeeper can call me little brother!" the handsome man smiled and shook his head.

"How can this be made, let's call it a young man!" The shopkeeper Tan smiled diligently, the young man in front of him was calm and easy-going, and he was indifferent in his simplicity, which made people feel close.

"I'm just an ordinary person, I can't be commensurate with a young man, and the shopkeeper is still free to do so!" said the handsome man softly.

It's rare to come to eat and drink alone, and he is flattered by an old man like this, he is really not used to it, so he asked the shopkeeper Tan to quickly serve some wine and meat to eat.

Shopkeeper Tan nodded yes hurriedly, turned around and walked to the door, his body was rickety, and his back was a little hunched. After a while, a sturdy young man, holding a tray in his hand, served the handsome man with wine and food.

The piping hot old wine and steaming lamb are mouth-watering. Junlang tasted the mutton, which was fat and tender. I took a sip of wine, and the taste was long with a hint of sweetness. He nodded in satisfaction.
