Chapter 3: Nguyen's strange poison is unparalleled in the world

After descending the mountain, the three of them came to this crowded town, where there were three streets and six markets, seventy-two lines, lively and prosperous; With a towel on his shoulder, grease on his mouth, a smile on his face, and a car full of good words, that is the second child who opens a tavern to recruit students; if he is in the market, he does not ask where he comes from when he enters the door, and he does not smell where he is going when he goes out, and it is a big gambling house and a small pawnshop that sends money to the door! The roadside is crowded one after another, there are people who write and sell paintings, some set up tables to tell fortunes, and some who take a break to buy vegetables, all of which are small merchants and hawkers, and they are engaged in a hammer in the east and a stick in the west. The streets and alleys are bustling with people coming and going, and although it is a small town in the capital, it is more prosperous and lively than other big cities.

Now, it was time for lunch, and Wu Shuang and the three of them didn't dare to be careless now because of a series of unpredictable dangers along the way, they had to be careful, especially cautious.

After passing by a few deserted restaurants, they didn't dare to venture in. On the way, Wu Shuang asked She Gang:

"Brother She, this place is unfamiliar to us, maybe every move of the three of us will fall into the eyes of those who have a heart!"

"That's for sure!" She Gang said with a wry smile, "I can't be sure, the one who passes by head-on is a murderer who doesn't blink." ”

"Since that's the case," Wu Shuang said, "then we'd better go to the big inn for dinner!"

"What should the owner pay attention to?" She Gang asked.

"You think, in the big inn, there are many people, even if those wicked people want to find trouble, they don't dare to be blatant!"

"Makes sense. She Gang said, pointing to a big inn in front of him and said, "Then let's go in, this big inn will be rebuilt, okay?"

"Look at it!" Wu Shuang said.

With that, they had come to the door of this magnificent Zaixing Inn.

"That's it!" Seeing the imposing appearance of this inn, Wu Shuang said decisively.

The two were about to lift their feet and go in, but Alai said in fear behind them:

"Two heroes, it's just a Chinese meal, if you don't eat it, why take this risk!"

She Gang heard that his stomach was full of fire, and he drank and said:

"I don't teach you to pay, you are not happy to eat, I don't eat, people are going to kill you, where do we have the strength to save you!"

Alai was kept in silence.

Wu Shuang comforted him gently and said:

"Brother, don't worry, with the two of us by your side, you put your heart in your stomach and go in and have a good meal. ”

Before entering the door, the bright-eyed shopkeeper greeted him enthusiastically and said:

"The spring breeze blows, the drums are beating, the three distinguished guests come to get together, eat some food, drink some wine, nutritious, delicious and affordable!"

She Gang saw that his clever and flamboyant words were very interesting, so he looked at the young second brother from head to toe. He wears purple cotton pants, a cotton jacket, a corrugated hat, and wide-mouth shoes. Therefore, She Gang laughed and said:

"Little second brother, what good wine do you have in your inn?"

He counted his fingers and said:

"Through the bottle of incense, bamboo leaf green, old white dry, apricot blossom village, daughter red ......"

Before he could finish speaking, She Gang said:

"Ten catties of daughter red, don't open it, bring the whole altar!"

As he spoke, they had followed the innkeeper and stepped into the door of the inn.

There are more than a dozen seats inside, and almost all of them are full of guests at this time, but there is a seat under the large window on the right, and the guests have just left. So, Wu Shuang led them straight towards the empty table.

The shopkeeper behind him said:

"Guest officer, there are still seats upstairs!"

Wu Shuang didn't answer, and went straight to sit down on the stool facing the window.

She Gang said to the shopkeeper:

"Little verbose, quickly clean up the leftovers on this table, first bring up the good wine, bring a plate of cooked peanuts with shells, and in addition, cut five or six catties of cooked beef!"

"Rice is not either? The shopkeeper asked, "But it's free!"

She Gang snorted:

"Little verbose, don't ask if you don't scream!"

"Okay! Three guest officers, if you don't sit for a while, the wine and food will come immediately!" said the shopkeeper and walked away like a whirlwind.

After a while, a little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old came out, dressed in a floral skirt and carrying a small wooden basin, to clean up the leftovers on the table. Immediately afterwards, the shopkeeper came over with a smile and said:

"Guest officer, the wine you asked for and the ripe peanuts with shells are here!"

Wu Shuang looked at the full number of guests, but there was no female guest, so he also paid close attention. Seeing that the shopkeeper put the wine and peanuts on the table, She Gang reached out and grabbed a few peanuts on the plate, handed them to the shopkeeper and said:

"Little second brother, fortunately, you can also eat a few and taste it!"

"Yo! Guest officer, you are too polite!" the shopkeeper excused himself and said, "We have a rule here, all inn personnel are not allowed to eat things given by guests at will!"

In fact, where did She Gang want to send the shopkeeper peanuts to eat, he was worried that the peanuts were poisoned, so he asked him to eat a few grains to see, and he was afraid that the wine would be poisoned, so he asked him to come up unopened. Seeing that the shopkeeper said this, he had an idea and said:

"I mean, your peanuts don't taste good, they don't taste good, I don't believe you can eat a few grains and take a look!"

At this moment, an old man with a white beard came out of the side door, he came over with a large plate of cut cooked beef in both hands, and said with a smile to the three guest officers:

"Hello three guest officers!"

As he spoke, he put the beef plate in the center of the table, and said to the shopkeeper:

"You go busy, I'll greet you here!"

Wu Shuang saw the old man's kind eyes, so he smiled respectfully and asked:

"Uncle, are you the shopkeeper of the inn?"

"Yes!" the old man nodded with a smile and said, "Just now, I heard this guest officer say that the peanuts in our inn have no taste," he looked at She Gang and smiled and said, "I'll taste it!" As he spoke, he reached out to the plate and grabbed a few peanuts in his hand, and set them aside to eat.

Seeing him eat with relish, he really has good teeth and good appetite, this is old, and he is full of white teeth, chewing peanuts, just like ordinary people eating cabbage. When the three of them saw this, they were sure that this plate of peanuts could be eaten with confidence.

At this time, She Gang asked the old man again:

"Does the shopkeeper drink?"

"Why don't you know how to drink!" said the old man with a smile, "I have loved drinking since I was a child, and now I am over 70 years old, and I still eat two catties of wine before meals every day!"

So, as soon as She picked up the wine jar and patted the mud seal, she poured a bowl full of wine from a wine bowl on the table, and politely handed it to the old man with both hands and said:

"You have such a crane spirit of childhood, which really makes the late students admire, come, the late students will give you a bowl of wine!"

Seeing this, Alai said in his stomach:

"You are a ghost head, look at your five big and three thick and so many little Jiujiu, you don't drink it yourself, but let the old man of the family come to test the poison!

Sure enough, the old man also held the wine bowl, raised his head, and drank the wine without a drop in a few sips! She Gang's heart blossomed, and when he smelled the fragrant aroma of the wine, his saliva was about to flow out, but he was not in a hurry, and immediately grabbed a pair of chopsticks, sandwiched a few slices of beef, and politely sent them to the old man's mouth and said:

"Come, senior, don't eat wine on an empty stomach, hurry up and eat beef and press wine. ”

The old man did not refuse, and opened his mouth to eat.

When She Gang saw that he had eaten all these things, he concluded that they would not be poisonous, so he gave a euphemistic order to evict customers, and he said to the old man with a smile:

"Senior, why don't you sit down and have a bowl of wine?"

The shopkeeper was also a well-informed man, and when he said this, he understood what he meant, and was satisfied to see the guests gladly spending in his inn, so he shook his hand, smiled, and said:

"Thank you for the three guest officers, you use it slowly, I won't bother!"

With that, he turned around and left.

So, She Gang and Wu Shuang said:

"Owner, now rest assured, let's eat some wine and meat!"

So saying, he sifted three bowls of wine, handed them to each of them, then took the bowls, and drank them together, and then poured them full, ate the meat for a while, and drank the wine again. In a short time, half the jar of wine had been drunk, and half of the meat had been eaten. Because She Gang was addicted to alcohol and was impatient, he drank more, but for some reason, he suddenly tumbled off the stool with a bang, and Alai also collapsed on the table in a daze. At this time, Wu Shuang's pair of temples were also very chaotic.

At this moment, all the guests in the inn also stood up, and they looked at the three of them, as if they were watching a monkey show, and pointed to a few of them and said:

"Uncle Ruan, it's down, it's down!"

Therefore, two people came out of the side door, one was young, luxuriously dressed, and wore a big green wrench on his finger, Wu Shuang recognized him as Hu Zheng, the son of Hu Wei, a member of the outsider, and the other was the old man who had just asked him to drink wine and eat meat.

The two of them walked out laughing, and Hu Wei praised the old man and said:

"Sure enough, Ruan's strange poison is unparalleled in the world!"

The old man laughed and said:

"It's just a small skill of carving insects!"

In this chaos, Wu Shuang vaguely heard the words Ruan's strange poison, unparalleled in the world, and was taken aback! Human potential is sometimes a strange thing, and when Wu Shuang was about to faint, with his tenacious spiritual will, he forced two words with the peanut shell on the table! )
