Su Changan found the beetle snake in the courtyard of a private house in Jiahan County. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

But when he ordered someone to dig up the thick layer of soil in the courtyard, the demon lord was entangled with a female snake.

The beetle snake that was interrupted from the good thing naturally had a lot of dissatisfaction, and was about to tear off a piece of the scalp of the digger in anger on the spot, but fortunately, Su Changan interrupted it even if he made a move.

But Rao was like this, and the soldier was also frightened by the sudden rush of the beetle snake and sat in place.

......

The ancient building of Jiahan County.

Speaking of which, it can be regarded as one of the best restaurants in Shu, and this time of the past should be full of friends and guests.

Of course, he can have such a reputation, in addition to the decoration and dishes of this restaurant are top-notch, but also because the owner of this restaurant is also an elegant person.

He once made a rule that anyone who could write or draw a masterpiece on the white wall of the restaurant would be exempt from the drink money. You must know that the consumption of the ancient building is not as good as that of ordinary restaurants, and the price of a meal can make those ordinary people live a good life for a year as a family of three.

When such a thing spreads for a while, it naturally attracts those who claim to be merry and talented scholars, not so much for the sake of coveting a meal, but more for the sake of leaving a masterpiece on that wall for future generations to enjoy.

Therefore, most of the literati in this Shu land are proud of being able to leave some calligraphy and paintings on this ancient building, and often use them as bragging capital.

Of course, not everyone is qualified to leave their own masterpieces, and usually they have to be handed over to the gentleman who is in charge of approval in the restaurant to have this opportunity.

However, this time is different from the past, Sima Xu's troops are coming to the pool, the Shu army and the Jiangdong army are defeated again and again, the people in Jiahan County can escape, and most of the people who can't escape are in danger, how can they still have the heart to find that elegant thing?

Therefore, at this time, the ancient tone building was empty, and only three or four guys were still taking care of it, but because there were no guests, most of them were sitting listlessly at the door yawning.

Zhu Dalong is one of the few remaining guys in this ancient tuning building.

He got up again and wiped the table and chair beside him under the reprimand of the shopkeeper - in fact, this table and chair had not been used for a long time, and he cleaned it once a day was enough, but the shopkeeper could not see them idle.

"Pickpockets. He muttered quietly, hastily wiped the table and chair again, and then sat feebly on the threshold in front of the door, looking intently at the bustling crowd on the street.

In the past nearly a month, there are only a handful of guests who have entered and exited the ancient tuning building, Zhu Dalong looked at the sky, it had already darkened, and it was already time for the unitary hour.

Looks like it can't be opened again today.

Zhu Dalong thought like this, this ancient building is about to close.

He was thinking about his own back road, but he sighed sadly in his heart, the troubled times are coming, this prosperous ancient style building is still like this, and what will happen to him as an ordinary person in the future can also be imagined.

Perhaps, it is time to leave Jiahan County with his daughter-in-law, I heard that Sima Xu is a lord who likes to slaughter cities.

Thinking of this, he glanced back at the old shopkeeper who was busy on the counter.

The old man's rickety figure inexplicably made him a little reluctant.

Although the old shopkeeper was a little mean, he had never been disadvantaged in terms of wages, and with this errand, he had a good life with his little daughter-in-law in Jiahan County, and now he was a little ungrateful to leave at this time.

Of course, Zhu Dalong is just an ordinary person, he hasn't read any books, and he doesn't know a few big characters, but he still understands some of the principles of being a human being after all.

"Alas. He sighed, stood up, and was about to turn around and go back to the building—he guessed that there was no business today, and he would have scrubbed the tables and chairs in the store earlier, and he could have called it a day earlier.

Click.

Click.

Click.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of riding boots colliding with the official road behind him.

Zhu Dalong is a spirit, he has been a buddy in the ancient tower for so many years, he has not learned other skills, but there is one thing that ordinary people are far from reaching.

From the sound of the riding boots hitting the ground, he probably guessed that these riding boots must not be ordinary goods, and the riding boots that can make such a sound are naturally precious, and the corresponding person who can wear such riding boots should also be a big man.

He turned around almost without thinking, and then a bright smile appeared on his face, and before he could even see the face of the comer, he had already opened his mouth and said in the direction from which the voice came: "This guest officer, please inside!"

This is a very simple, but very elaborate sentence.

First of all, this hour should be the time of dinner; second, this person is passing by the street lined with taverns at this moment, and he is largely looking for a restaurant; third, Zhu Dalong has judged from the footsteps of this person that the identity of the person who is not low, and he should be able to accept the price of the ancient building. The three are one, and he invites them directly, and most people subconsciously agree before making a decision about where to eat.

Of course, this method is only for the majority, and it is impossible to work every time.

However, this person clearly belongs to one of the majority.

He stopped, stunned slightly, and finally turned around and walked towards the store.

Zhu Dalong's face was happy, and he shouted at the store: "Visitor!" At this time, he had the heart to look at the appearance of this person. It's also a very esoteric doorway, a good guy who can see the preferences of the guests at first glance. And these preferences can be more or less seen in the age, dress, and even appearance of the guests.

But Zhu Dalong was stunned when he saw the appearance of the comer.

The man was in his early twenties, a little younger than him, and he carried a pair of long knives on his back, and a sword box was inserted vertically in addition to the long knives, and a thin snake was curled up on his shoulder.

Although these are rare, they are not surprising, after all, the ancient tone building is well-known in Shu, and the guests who come here do not know how to go, although there are not many people dressed up in this way, but there are also a lot.

What really made Zhu Dalong stunned was the appearance of this comer.

Yesterday, the king of Chu summoned the soldiers and horses of Jiahan County in the temporary school field of Jiahan County, and the people in the city were naturally very concerned about this matter, and they inevitably went to watch, although most of them were stopped outside the school field, but Zhu Dalong climbed a big tree outside the school field and peeked at it. Of course, it was quite far away, and he couldn't really hear what His Royal Highness the King of Chu said, but Zhu Dalong remembered his appearance and outfit. It's not the same as the person in front of you.

At that time, he was trembling, and realized that a big man was coming, and hurriedly gave the fellow beside him a look, and signaled him to serve him well, while he hurried to the old shopkeeper's desk and whispered something to him.

Su Changan walked to a table under the leadership of a guy, he put the thin snake on his shoulder on the table, looked at the guy on the side, and said, "Just have some tea and some food." ”

He didn't know the fame of this ancient building in Shudi, he just thought it was an ordinary restaurant, and it happened that he wanted to find a place to talk to the beetle snake about something important, and when he saw that this place was clean, he didn't think much about it anymore and sat here.

However, the guy who was waiting was stunned, although the business of this ancient building is withering now, but after all, it is still a big sign of Shudi, the price is expensive, the guests do not order, they serve the food at will, and in the end, if the guests do not admit it, it is easy to cause trouble, therefore, after he was slightly stunned, he wanted to remind Su Changan to let him order his own food, but before the words were spoken, the beetle snake that Su Changan put on the table raised his head dissatisfied.

He actually said: "What kind of tea, bring the best wine in your store to Grandpa Snake." ”

The guy had never seen such a scene, and he was stunned at the moment, and his hand holding the teapot that was about to pour water trembled for a while, and the tea spilled all over the ground.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. The man hurriedly leaned down to wipe the tea on the ground, but his heart was up and down, isn't the snake that can talk a monster?

"No problem. But at this time, Su Changan stretched out his hand to help the guy, and when he heard the words, he said, "Just as he said, take the wine." With that, he stopped looking at the fellow, but turned to look at the seemingly unremarkable snake on the table.

The guy had already been frightened by the scene of the beetle snake spitting out people's words, and the three souls lost their seven souls, and when they heard the words, how could they care about ordering food or not, so they hurriedly retreated.

However, after Zhu Dalong explained to his shopkeeper, and after understanding the situation with the guy who had retreated in a hurry, although he was surprised by the strange thin snake, he didn't dare to snub Su Changan, and hurriedly brought his best wine to pour a glass for Su Changan and the thin snake, and hurriedly retreated, went to the back kitchen, and instructed them to take out twelve points of ability to make this meal.

"Shhh ”

The beetle snake stretched out the letter and licked it in the wine glass, and a look of enjoyment appeared on his face.

"Good wine!" he exclaimed, then lowered his head and took a few sips from the glass.

At this time, he turned his head to look at Su Changan, shook his head, and asked, "Say, what's the matter with looking for your snake grandfather?"

"You should be clear. Su Changan picked up the wine glass in front of him and took a sip.

In the past, he never liked to drink, but I don't know when he no longer rejected this matter, and even faintly liked it.

There is a way to use wine to eliminate sorrow and sorrow.

But it's a good thing to get a moment of confusion.

"Grandpa Snake doesn't know. The snake's tail stretched out, dangling in front of his eyes, and said nonchalantly. "Grandpa Snake was originally close to the little lady, you have to spoil my good deeds, if you don't say it, let's say goodbye. As he spoke, his body moved, and he was about to crawl away.

Su Changan's brows furrowed, and he keenly smelled something from the snake's attitude.

"Are you scared?" he asked, slightly puzzled.

These words seemed to poke the pain of the beetle snake, and his body was about to leave the table for a moment, and he turned his head to look at Su Changan.

"Your snake grandfather, I have been in the world for thousands of years, how can I ever be afraid of words?" he said, holding up his snake head, although he looked powerful, but for some reason it gave people a feeling of bluff.

"When I saw you in Youyunling, you asked me to help you achieve the position of a true dragon, and for this reason, you also sacrificed yourself to help me defend against the black god, but now that the matter is coming, why did you retreat? What are you afraid of?" Su Changan asked puzzled.

This is something really problematic.

After all, the reaction of the beetle snake before seemed to be quite enthusiastic about achieving the true dragon, why did he suddenly pretend to be confused now, Su Changan really couldn't understand.

Maybe Su Changan's gaze was too cold, or his question was too difficult to refute, the beetle snake was stunned, lowered his tongue, and looked at the reflection of his own appearance in the wine glass. I was stunned and was silent for a long time.

The guys in the restaurant began to serve the dishes, and those dishes could be seen to be of the highest quality, and the appearance alone was enough to make people's appetite move, and the fragrance was even more tangy. The guys in the restaurant didn't know what to think, and the dishes on the table were extremely rich, and they didn't think about whether Su Changan had such a large amount of food, and in a blink of an eye, the table was full of dishes.

And after doing this, those guys stepped aside, and looked at Su Changan's back cautiously with the old shopkeeper, talking to each other from time to time, not knowing what they were talking about.

Su Changan didn't care about this, he still looked at the beetle snake directly, and the incomprehension in his eyes became more and more intense.

The beetle snake obviously couldn't stand Su Changan's gaze, and his scalp was numb for a while.

It wasn't until a long time later that he plunged headlong into the glass in front of him and grunted for a while.

His body was transformed into an extremely small body by him, and a glass of wine for ordinary people was more like a vat of wine to him. Soon, he drank it all.

Then he raised his head.

Belch!

He burped, then turned his head to look at Su Changan angrily, and said, "Okay! Grandpa Snake is afraid of death, right?"

"Huh, afraid of death?" Su Changan was stunned, he didn't expect the answer given by the beetle snake to be so simple and straightforward.

"What's the matter, Grandpa Snake can't be afraid of death?" Perhaps because of the strength of the wine, the beetle snake put away his ordinary appearance of not being afraid of heaven and earth, and shouted loudly.

Su Changan didn't answer, but his eyes still fell on the snake's body, as if he wanted to see through it.

The beetle snake doesn't want to like to be looked at by a junior like this, after all, he has lived for thousands of years, and the Su Changan in front of him is not even a fraction of his age in the end, and it is not a particularly good experience to be looked at by him like this, just like an old man who has lived to the age of antiquity is despised by a baby who has just been born for less than a month. It felt ridiculous and embarrassing.

The snake's attitude finally softened under Su Changan's gaze.

"Of course I know that this world needs a real dragon, I have lived longer than you, and I naturally know more than you. ”

His voice was lowered at that time, with a sense of vicissitudes and the heaviness of the years.

He is finally no longer as unscrupulous or invincible as before, and the beetle snake at this moment is more like a twilight old man, revealing his heart to his children and grandchildren.

"I know all of this, but it's not easy, or difficult, to become a true dragon, otherwise I wouldn't have waited so many years and didn't dare to take that step. ”

"But I've lived so long that I've forgotten that there's such a thing as death in this world... So when this thing really comes, I'm afraid, I'm afraid..."The beetle snake slowly turned his head to look at Su Changan at that time, the light in the snake's eyes trembled, and it seemed that when he said this, even he himself was a little ashamed, and his voice was lowered a little again. "Can you... Do you understand?"

Su Changan still didn't speak, he still stared at the beetle snake. Those guys from a distance also realized Su Changan's strange appearance, and at that time they all closed their voices, and looked at the young King of Chu with some nervousness. At that time, the ancient tower of Nuoda fell into a deathly silence.

Until a long time, a long time later.

There was a clashing of armor in the streets, and it was the patrol soldier.

The arrival of that voice broke the silence in the restaurant.

"I see. Su Changan suddenly stood up at that time, "I respect the decision of my predecessors." ”

He picked up the glass in front of the table and held it up with both hands, saluted the snake, and then drank it down.

In Su Changan's eyes, no one has the right to hurt another person, but in the same way, no one has the right to force one person to sacrifice for another person for any reason.

The beetle snake is worthy of him, and has even helped him a lot, he has made such a choice now, Su Changan has no position to judge him right or wrong.

"It's just a great favor from the seniors, and the younger generations don't know if they have a chance to repay, if they see each other in the future, Chang'an will have a good time with the seniors, and there are still important things to do today, so I will leave for the time being. ”

Under the surprised gaze of the beetle snake, Su Changan said word by word, the expression on his face did not seem to be fake, which made the beetle snake, who had already been prepared to be scolded, somewhat surprised.

"Check out. Su Changan didn't have the heart to understand the reaction of the beetle snake, the beetle decided to disrupt his plan with Hua Feiqian and Guo Que, and he needed to rush back to discuss with him how to deal with it.

Hearing this, the old shopkeeper hurriedly led all the guys forward, looked at the meal on the table that almost didn't move chopsticks, panicked, and secretly thought that his things had not satisfied the Lord of Chu, how could he dare to accept his money, and hurriedly said in a low voice: "It is an honor for the adults to come to the Gu Diao Building, how can I accept the money of the adults." ”

"Hmm, do you still have a reason to open the door to do business without charging money?" Su Changan frowned and said puzzled.

Such a reaction fell in the eyes of everyone, and secretly thought that his actions had made Su Changan unhappy, after all, the thoughts of the big people are difficult for them to guess in the market, maybe you don't take his money, he thinks that you look down on him, but he is not happy. But the previous words have been exported, and if they are withdrawn, they will seem capricious.

Just when the old shopkeeper was sweating on his forehead, and he didn't know how to respond, Zhu Dalong's eyes on the side turned and suddenly stepped forward.

"Adults don't know, I have a rule in this ancient restaurant, but all wine guests, if you can put forward a poem for our restaurant, you can be exempted from wine money, the shopkeeper does not mean not to charge adult's money, but to ask adults to do well, for our restaurant to mention a poem. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Dalong also pointed to the white wall behind Su Changan that was already full of poems.

Su Changan was stunned for a moment, he didn't want to have such rules, but when he turned his head to look, he saw that the white wall was full of calligraphy and paintings, and he didn't think that Zhu Dalong had deceived him.

He glanced at the sweaty old shopkeeper, probably guessed his thoughts, and couldn't bear to be embarrassed, but he really didn't know poetry, this matter was really not his strong point, and he was about to refuse when he heard it, but suddenly his heart moved, and his pride suddenly rose.

"Then bring pen and ink!"

Hearing this, everyone was stunned, but soon a look of ecstasy rose to the old shopkeeper's eyebrows, what kind of person is Su Changan? Every name placed there is enough to shock the world, let alone a whole?

A poem by such a person may not be comparable to ten thousand taels of gold.

"Hurry up, get pen and ink!" the old shopkeeper reacted and hurriedly said.

Those guys naturally didn't dare to slack off, and they were busy for a while, took out the inkstone, grinded the ink, and respectfully handed it to Su Changan.

Su Changan took this thing, came to the white wall, and after groaning slightly, he began a dragon and phoenix dance.

The sword roars and the six are quiet,

The knife comes to the eight wilderness.

Don't ask about the bright moon,

It's only called Chang'an Ping.

Although it is not as particular as the poetry of those writers, it has a heroic spirit.

When the pen fell, Su Changan threw the big pen and fell into the arms of a guy, then laughed and walked away.

Only the rest of the people and a thin snake looked at the few lines of undried ink on the wall in a daze, stunned.
