Chapter 22 The Butcher's Shop
"Oh oh! My donkey is suffering from heat stroke! I'm glad I met you! No wonder my hexagram this morning says that there are some twists and turns, but there are old people to help me! Ning Gongzi come and help me with my luggage!" said a smiling woman standing on the side of the road, wearing a blue silk hooded robe and holding a picture scroll.
In general, the hexagram that the divination operator gave Ning Xiao was very accurate. Sure enough, "the journey is smooth, and you will reach the cross slope smoothly in five days! The weather in the middle is also very good, there will be no beast attacks, no bandits robbing the road, and you will meet a woman!" And the hexagram that Lan Luocheng calculated for himself was also fulfilled, with a small twist and turn but the help of the old people. The people you met a day ago are old people, aren't they?
But I have to say, I always feel that something is wrong......
Releasing the donkey, who didn't know if it was because the weather was too hot and suffering from heat stroke, or because there were too many things, he fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth and pretended to be dead, Ning Xiao carried the luggage of Lan Luocheng - a huge box more than one person high. The group once again turned on the "straight to the cross slope travel mode" that had been interrupted by various accidents.
Glancing at Ning Xiao, who was sweating profusely but silently behind him, Li Linxi asked Lan Luocheng: "Sister Lan, what is in your big box?"
"Paintbrushes, dyes, paper, there must be these things that I use to tell fortunes. And then there was a change of clothes, a familiar quilt, of course, these are not the most important things!The most important thing is that my fortune-telling props sold a lot of small money, and they were all put in that box!" Lan Luocheng crossed his fingers and counted them one by one.
Whether it is through the description of Xiao Er of a fanatical fan shop, or the hot scene of silk rush in Donglin Town, Li Linxi was told that the so-called "small money" owned by the off-line soothsayer who has to do everything in front of him is really not light at all. Presumably, a teenager with his luggage behind the girls agreed.
In short, in this way, on the flat road leading to the cross slope in Donglin Town, the girl and the girl and the weight-bearing boy passed smoothly and reached the cross slope in five days. Ning Xiao, who carried the luggage and sprinkled sweat all the way, was pleasantly surprised to find that his strength had increased a lot after putting down the "little money" at the door of an inn.
The young man who was sighing "how much sweat you pay, how much strength you gain" didn't notice that the two girls behind him were staring at this inn seriously.
On the surface, this inn is no different from the inns you meet in other towns, the same two-story building, the same vermilion lacquer thresholds, and the papier-mâché windows, although the business in the store is better than that of the inns in other towns, and there are three or five tables of guests dining, but it does not exceed the usable range of the term "bleak business". What made Li Linxi and Lan Luocheng nervous was the small plaque hanging on the lower right of the main entrance plaque "Youjian Inn" - a small uneven plaque made of yellow wood, and the words "Human Flesh Specialty Store" were written in dark red ink suspected of blood, and the blood-drop-shaped liquid left traces of drying up along the word, which made people feel creepy and a different kind of stimulation.
Unlike the two girls who stopped and stopped, Ning Xiao thought for a while, and felt that no one would resist this huge box as high as a person without alarming him, so he put the "little money" at the door of the inn with a big grin, and he couldn't wait to enter the hall of the inn, and was about to order food, when he suddenly saw five big words inlaid with gold on the wall in front of the main hall - "I want to fight out", which made Ning Xiao grin. Along the way, although Ning Xiao didn't enter many towns, he also heard about the "inn" in many towns, because of the battle between the female heroes and the heroes and giants who passed by, and the pond fish was affected, and the losses were not small.
The young man was in a daze, Li Linxi and Lan Luocheng had already entered the inn when they saw Ning Xiao recklessly, and hurriedly followed, naturally they also saw the warning on the wall together. With a smirk in his heart, he looked at the entire hall, and there were only three or five guests dining, just as he had observed outside the inn. So he called Ning Xiao, who was in a daze, and sat at the table in the corner with Lan Luocheng.
A few people sat down, Ning Xiao shouted loudly: "Order food!" At this time, a girl about ten years old walked to this table with her eyes closed, Ning Xiao thought that the girl in purple was here to eat, but she knew that she fell asleep directly on the seat next to Ning Xiao.
"What do you want to eat, a few guest officers, we have very delicious specialties here!" said softly a woman at the table. When the three of them heard the voice, the first thing that caught their eyes was a plump body wrapped in light purple clothes. Looking at the chest that was beyond ordinary people, the corners of Lan Luocheng's mouth twitched slightly, Ning Xiao continued to be stunned, Li Linxi looked at the two companions who behaved like this, coughed lightly to remind Ning Xiao to pay attention to saliva, and then asked crisply: "What is the specialty of your store?" He raised his head while asking, but was startled by the appearance of the woman at the table.
The woman in light purple clothes standing at the table was indeed a big beauty, with fair skin and a high nose, but she had fiery red hair and blue eyes, like the legendary Rakshasa ghost who feeds on people's hearts and livers. Li Linxi was startled, and felt that he had behaved inappropriately, so he hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't expect ......"
Hearing the sudden apology of their companions, Ning Xiao and Lan Luocheng felt that something was not right, and subconsciously looked at the face of the woman at the table, and then they were taken aback together, and Lan Luocheng even shouted "ah".
The red-haired and blue-eyed woman in purple seemed to have gotten used to the expressions of people who saw her for the first time, but she was not angry, and said again kindly: "Three objective, what do you want to eat in the shop?"
"I have a special cooking human meat meal series in my store, steamed human hands, stewed brain flowers, stir-fried kidneys and human meat barbecued pork buns~ I highly recommend the human meat barbecued pork buns in our store, the filling is large, the skin is thin and juicy, and it is worth a try!" Seeing that everyone was silent, the red-haired woman introduced them one by one. The scene was a little embarrassing for a while, and Ning Xiao and the three of them really didn't know how to answer, we don't eat human flesh......?
At this moment, a child's voice suddenly sounded in Ning Xiao's ears, "The steamed hands are steamed pig's trotters, the indiscriminately stewed brain flower is stewed tofu, the stir-fried kidneys are fried pork kidneys, and the human meat barbecued pork buns are crab roe and pork soup dumplings!
Ning Xiao heard the prestige and saw that it was the purple-clothed girl who was lying on her table just now talking. She looks like she is about ten years old, with a double ponytail, and she is very cute. However, there were thick dark circles in his eyes, which made Ning Xiao regret it, and subconsciously looked at a woman wearing a blue silk hooded robe, "This girl is very similar to you!
The red-haired woman chuckled and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, this is my adopted daughter a few years ago - I'm really sorry for the strange personality, impersonal personality, and insomnia." ”
Li Linxi said: "It's okay, speaking of which, Miss Ling slept soundly just now, and we woke her up~"
Feng Bujue didn't appreciate it very much, "I just can't stand some people being too stupid! You can believe what others say! The proprietress said that human flesh is human flesh? I said that if it's not human flesh, it's not human flesh?" After speaking, Feng Bujue didn't wait for everyone to answer, and went straight to the upstairs of the inn, stepping on the stairs and kicking, Ning Xiao seemed to have a throbbing sound of his own heartbeat in his ears. PS: There are no people watching it, and even the motivation for the hair is wooden T_T and fancy, hey......
