The three of them talked and walked, and there were a few wisps of cooking smoke in front of them, which looked very much like a village. At this time, a scorching wind blew, followed by thunder and lightning, and the raindrops the size of beans fell one after another, hitting the face, faintly painful. Zhu Shuzhen said with concern: "Get into the car quickly to avoid the rain, don't catch a cold." Li Zhihua was drunk when he heard the words, and he was like drinking fairy in his heart, and said dizzily: "I'm not afraid of the rain ......" said, punched the horse again, and galloped quickly.

It was indeed a small village, with only a dozen or so households, and it was a short time to arrive. There happened to be a tavern on the side of the road, although the tavern was not large, but there were many people in it, and there were no people to eat, most of them seemed to be here to take shelter from the rain and gossip.

Two middle-aged men leaning on the door to watch the rain saw them and quipped: "Hey! This person is angry, like a chicken in soup, look at this very luxurious dress, but he wears a broken hat to drive the car, it is not decent, I don't know which rich man he is, even the coachman and servant are extraordinary, and he is really extraordinary." Hehe...... Haha......"

Li Zhihua pretended not to know when he heard this, and laughed secretly in his heart: "This kind of market slang should be beaten to death." So he shouted, "Shopkeeper, keep your two dogs on a leash, and don't let them bark in front of the door, lest they scare away the customers!"

I saw a lean guy come out of the way, pull the two to the side and say, "Don't get in the way." Three guest officers, there are no dogs in the shop, I wonder what you are doing here?"

The three of them felt angry and funny. Li Zhihua said: "Nonsense." Aren't you opening a hotel? If not, we'll go. ”

The guy put the handkerchief over his shoulder and said with a smile on his face, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The little one thought that the three of them were here to hide from the rain. Come in. Li Zhihua said: "It's not allowed to hide from the rain?" The guy said: "Childe laughed." You are also welcome to come to the shop to hide from the rain, as long as you drink a few cups of it to warm up. As he spoke, he turned around and shouted: "Boss, boss, hurry up and wash the rouge powder, so that the raw vegetables and meat are cut, the wine is scalded and the chopsticks are arranged, there are three guest officers who want to eat and drink for a while, hurry up, hurry up, damn mother-in-law!" Then he scolded everyone, "All go, all go, don't eat or drink, like a pile of cow shit lying here, all roll to the side to play!" A few people were very obedient, and immediately walked to the backyard with pots and cans, and everyone said while walking: "He is lucky this time, he can learn more than us." ”

There are three people sitting around a table in the middle, not eating and drinking, but playing chess. The two players were about 50 years old, dressed very gently, the other was a young man in his thirties, who was born very rough, and the other was a young man in his twenties, who was not watching chess, but was holding a book in his hand, and read aloud to the side, listening to and reading as if he were "Zizhi Tongjian". Although the old man was playing against others at the moment, his demeanor was extremely careless, holding a teacup, looking away, and from time to time he explained the meaning of the sentence to the young man. But the young man did not listen at all, and read recklessly, and after reading a page, he tore off a page, and there were more than twenty sheets on the ground.

The middle-aged man was stubbornly guarding the chess game, suffering from the attack, so anxious that his forehead was sweating, scratching his ears and cheeks. Every time the young man tore a page, the man scooped up the raw water from the barrel and drank it from his belly. But seeing that he suddenly slapped his leg happily, he laughed and said, "There is, there is." You can't afford to rely on this wine today. It's not easy, it's not easy, hahahaha. ”

When the old man and the young man heard that he had a way to win, they both fell silent and looked at how he went. The strong man smiled and raised the chess pieces high, and was about to smash them down on the chessboard, but the guy was about to come over at this moment, stretched out his hand to make a mess of the chess, and shouted: "Go, go, what kind of fart chess, you can't win against this old guy, you can't understand the way after two days, you don't know how to be ugly, go outside to rain and rush the pig's brain!"

This young and strong man was about to win a wine and dinner, but he was suddenly disturbed by this guy, how could he not hate? Hearing the old man say that the chess game was no longer counting, his heart was even more annoyed. With a snap, he slammed the table, grabbed the guy's chest with his hand, glared and scolded: "Dead thief, you need to compensate me for a drink!"

The guy was grabbed by him, didn't move, squinted his eyes and sneered: "Yo, what do you dare to do?" obediently let me go!" The man seemed to be older than this guy, and after listening to the reprimand, he put down his hand with a snort, and said angrily: "The three of us just don't go, this chess needs to be rearranged according to the original game!" The old man smiled: "I dare to say that you can't even play chess." The man yelled at the old man and the young man, "You two get out first, let him play here alone!" The old man stood up with a teacup with a smile, and the young man put away his chess pieces and retreated without saying a word.

When the man saw that he had flashed aside, his anger could no longer be suppressed, so he was so angry that he lifted a stool and smashed it, pushed the fellow staggering, stretched out his hand to hold the old man, and shouted, "Don't go yet, you need to admit that you owe me a wine and dinner!" The old man shook his arm and said, "Do you ever defeat me with the big and the small?" The man scolded: "There is going to be a fight and go out to fight, there are guests eating today, if you frighten the guests away, you two will have to make a profit tonight!"

At this time, a handsome young man of fourteen or fifteen years old ran in from outside the store, and shouted at the entrance: "Stupid thing, stupid thing, get out! If you refuse to leave, it's better to pretend to be dumb, don't make my grandfather angry, his old man has already said, if this hotel is not smashed today, you will also be beaten!" After scolding, he shrunk his head and ran out again.

When the idlers in the store heard this, they didn't dare to make any more noise and shout, so they all retreated.

Li Zhihua was very surprised and ridiculous when he saw such a scene, so he smiled at the two of them: "Two young brothers, are there many strange and interesting things in the rivers and lakes?" Xiaohong pursed her lips and nodded with a smile. Zhu Shuzhen said softly: "Don't be loud. I see that everyone in this store is very evil. ”

The guy adjusted the table and set up the stool, and then wiped it again, and said with a smile: "The three of you are strange." Please take a seat, please take a seat. I don't know what kind of wine and food I want?" Li Zhihua said: "Some clean and good wine and good food are served." The guy said: "If you don't have fairy treasures in our store, but you can make fresh and delicious food, the three of you can rest assured that you won't hurt your stomach." ”

Then he made three cups of hot tea, and then yelled: "Boss, boss, are you deaf?

Suddenly, a woman with a kitchen knife came out of the kitchen in the back room, this woman was also in her thirties, and although she was born strong, her appearance was not ugly. But I saw her carrying a knife and scolded: "Scream a fart! Can't you see that I'm already busy? If it weren't for the guests on the side, I would have slaughtered you!" slashed the knife in front of the guy's face, turned around and went into the kitchen, and suddenly turned his face to Li Zhihua and the three smiled: "The three of you are laughing, don't worry." "In a moment, I heard the sound of splitting bones and chopping meat in the kitchen, and the sound of hot oil and fried vegetables, but the smell was fragrant, and the smell made people very appetizing.

The guy smiled at the three of them: "Shicai is a small Hun family, Meng Lang is rude, he has never seen a scene, he doesn't understand world affairs, he complains that I have neglected to teach from time to time, I am ashamed, ashamed." Hehehehe......" was laughing to himself, and suddenly something flew out of the kitchen, "snapped", and hit the nose.

Zhu Shuzhen and Xiaohong wanted to laugh when they saw each other but didn't dare to laugh, so they had to turn their faces and purse their lips, but Li Zhihua laughed.

The fellow picked it up from the ground, and when he saw that it was a piece of chicken butt, he couldn't help but scold: "What a smelly and wicked woman! I dare to break the rules set by the sages without permission, you know what 'men are above and women down', I need to let you know something tonight!"

Before he could say a word, he suddenly saw an angry man wearing a broken man, a straw hat on his head, and an umbrella coming in from outside. The man didn't even take the umbrella when he entered the house, so he stared at the guy and said, "What did you just say?

Li Zhihua and the others couldn't help but laugh when they saw this man packaged like this. The man sneered, "What is this, you can't make a fool of yourself!" You are only allowed to laugh with other people's wives, and you are clean when you die!" The man said angrily, "If I am not afraid of disturbing his old man's rest or alarming these three sons to drink and eat, how can I spare you today!" Then he went into the kitchen and warned the woman: "Whatever ugly things he says today, you can also pay attention to them, keep them in your heart, and listen to me at night, and I will return his wife in the same way." But I heard the crisp sound of "croak", as if I had been slapped in the face. I saw that the man came out immediately, glared at the man, and turned around and scolded the woman: "Stinky thing, it's not interesting to beat you, I still need to settle accounts with you tonight!"

When the guy saw it, he hurriedly took off the handkerchief from his shoulder, handed it forward and said with a smile: "Big brother doesn't have powder, why is his face smeared with putty? The man shoved him violently, and said angrily, "you!" and exhaled out of the store.

A few people saw that the man was not only very jealous, but also stupid and afraid of the inside, obviously he was slapped by the woman in the kitchen, but after he came out, he was hard to face, which was really hilarious. Zhu Shuzhen and Xiaohong turned their faces to steal fun, while Li Zhihua smiled and sighed in a low voice.

The guy whipped his clothes with a handkerchief, and he was angry. But I heard the woman cry out in the kitchen, "What are you muttering, hurry up and bring the food and wine, the three guest officers must be impatient." ”

On the table of wine and food, although it is an ordinary dish, it is very delicious. Zhu Shuzhen quietly reminded: "Don't poison the wine and food?" Li Zhihua smiled: "Don't worry, those cups of Daigo are not drunk for nothing, even if they are highly poisonous, they are not afraid." ”

After hearing this, the two of them put their minds at ease, and only a few drops of their lips did they dare to take the spoon to eat. Seeing this, the guy sneered secretly.

After the wine and dinner, the rain gradually stopped. Li Zhihua asked the guy, "May I ask the second brother, is there a market town nearby?" The guy said, "There is no nearby." The county town is still seventy or eighty miles away from here, if the mountain road is closer, but the road is difficult, I heard that there are minions to cut the path, but they only take silver, do not hurt people's lives, as long as the silver two belts are thick, they can be fine. ”

Li Zhihua said: "Thank you." Please count the cost of food and drink. The guy bowed down again and smiled: "The three of you have eaten? At this time, the woman also walked out and said with a smile: "What are the three of you settling the account? Li Zhihua smiled: "You're welcome, how can there be a reason not to give money for dinner?" and then took out ten taels of silver from the silver purse.
