Chapter 211
In the face of Tang Yan's naked behavior, Xu Chen could only look at it stupidly, of course, it was naturally Lu Shi beside him who was also a little sluggish.
However, everything has to go on, you can't just stick there, or just turn around and leave, right?
At the end, the shopkeeper greeted the man and entertained Tang Yan like a relative of the emperor.
As for Xu Chen and Lu Shi, they were reluctant to spend so much useless silver money to enjoy this short night.
What's more, the people here are not familiar with the place, and such a show of wealth is always too attention-grabbing, so the two of them only need two ordinary rooms, and, obviously, a person like Lu Shi who walks the world and does good deeds without leaving a name, there must be such a thing as money, but how much is another matter.
In the end, it was naturally Xu Chen who rushed to pay the money.
After the three of them entered, calm returned to the inn, and the pedestrians on the street were hurrying, coming and going, seeing the changes in the sky, and gradually it was dusk, but there were two people, an old man and a young man. The old man was holding a cloth gown with the word "half immortal" written on it, and the little one was a little girl who was no more than ten years old, holding a string of rock sugar gourds in her hand, and was eating it with relish.
It was Guan Xuzi and his granddaughter Xiaoling.
Guan Xuzi looked around, Xiao Ling was also looking at the environment here, seeing the magnificence of the decoration here, he gasped and whispered: "Grandpa, are you going the wrong way?"
Guan Xuzi had a smug look on his face and said: "What is the wrong way? There is no road in the world, and when there are more people walking, it becomes a road, you know? Do you think that your grandfather has been useless for so many years?"
Xiao Lingqi said: "That's not it, at least you can buy me a sugar gourd." ”
As she spoke, she took another hard bite, "However, if you want to talk about anything else, you really ......."
Guan Xuzi was stunned by her question, glared at her, and said, "You wait and see." ”
After that, he turned his head to look around, and saw that the shopkeeper was standing behind the counter in the corner of the room to settle accounts, and then pulled Xiao Ling and walked over.
The shopkeeper felt that someone had walked forward, so he raised his head and was about to greet him, when he was suddenly stunned with a surprised expression on his face.
Guan Xuzi smiled, the whole person was a crane bone fairy wind, at least except for the clothes, it was still very decent, how much it looked like a person who had attained the Tao, and said: "Shopkeeper Wang, do you remember me?"
The shopkeeper Wang exclaimed "ah", and ran out from behind the counter, his face was extremely respectful, and his expression was even more surprised, only to look at the little spirit next to him dumbfounded. I only heard him say, "Oh, it's you, the old fairy! Why are you here? Alas, this, this has not been seen for thirty years! I have been thinking about you all the time!"
Guan Xuzi smiled slightly, his temperament was excellent, he stretched out his hand to brush the dust on his clothes, shook his head, and said with an indifferent smile: "It's thirty-one years, I am not a layman, I have traveled all over the world over the years, and even went to the famous mountain fairyland, visited the immortals, and absorbed the aura of heaven and earth, how can I have time to come?"
Xiao Ling fell to the ground next to him.
But the shopkeeper Wang was convinced, nodded frequently, and said, "Yes, yes, of course, the old immortal, you are different from us laymen. ”
As he spoke, he beckoned Guan Xuzi and Xiao Ling to sit on a clean table, and hurriedly called the guy and asked him to serve the best tea.
Guan Xuzi looked around with a smile and said, "Look at it like this, over the years, your business should be pretty good!"
The shopkeeper said respectfully: "Yes, thanks to your old blessing, it's not bad." Why are you on the frontier again?"
Guan Xuzi coughed and said, "I came here this time to visit a fellow Daoist, and I remembered that I still had a relationship with you back then, so I came over to take a look." Then I'll stay with you tonight!"
Shopkeeper Wang nodded again and again, and said, "Of course, you must give the little one this face, and I plan to let the little ones come to see you!"
Guan Xuzi smiled, put his hand into his arms, and said, "How much silver ......taels will it cost to stay for one night?"
Shopkeeper Wang immediately shook his head and said, "Look at what you said, I can't look forward to you coming to me, how can I still collect your money?"
Guan Xu's hand was still in his arms, and he shook his head and said: "Alas, shopkeeper Wang, I know that I gave you a few words of guidance back then, but when you do business, I can't break the rules......
"Oh!"
Shopkeeper Wang shook his head helplessly, "Since the old immortal has to ...... Hey, then I'll be respectful and obey my fate, and you can give a hundred taels of silver. ”
"One hundred taels?"
Guan Xuzi and Xiao Ling beside him opened their mouths together, I don't know what the concept of this hundred taels is for Guan Xuzi, at least for Xiao Ling, it is a mountain of hawthorn.
No, it's an ocean of sugar gourds, she doesn't even know that in the past few years, she and Guan Xuzi have spent a total of 100 taels of silver.
"This ......"
Guan Xuzi subconsciously scratched his hair, obviously, he pretended to be big, he thought that as long as Steward Wang gave in again, he would immediately get off the donkey, who would think, the other party let the donkey go first.
Just when Guan Xuzi was embarrassed, the shopkeeper Wang suddenly laughed, and then said with some excitement: "Old fairy, joking with you, no matter how stupid I am, I know how you can have so much money on you." If it weren't for your guidance, I wouldn't have the career I have today. Collect your money, then I am really black-hearted. ”
Perhaps frightened by the performance of the shopkeeper Wang just now, Guan Xuzi quickly took out his hand with a smile and said, "Since this is the case, then I will be disrespectful." ”
It seems that he is afraid that the other party will regret it, and the scene is funny.
Shopkeeper Wang nodded and chatted briefly. The man came over and said that the upper room had been arranged, so the shopkeeper Wang got up and personally sent Guan Xuzi and the two over. All the way to the back hall, I saw that this house was built very strangely, three stories high, a whole circle, and a large courtyard was vacated in the middle, all paved with bluestone slabs.
It may be that it has been a long time, and there are green grasses in the cracks of the stones everywhere. Only in the very center is a solitary birch tree, but its branches and leaves are withered and skinny.
The shopkeeper sent them to a secluded upper room on the third floor, sat with them for a while, and then walked away with interest, and said that he would definitely come to invite the old fairy to have a big meal at night.
The "old immortal" naturally shirked in every possible way, saying that he had attained the Tao for many years and had not touched the fireworks of the world for a long time. But the shopkeeper Wang was kind and sincere, and in the end, the old fairy finally looked at the face of his granddaughter Xiaoling and reluctantly agreed.
After the shopkeeper Wang left, Xiao Ling closed the door, and only Guan Xuzi and her were left in the room. Guan Xuzi smiled and said, "What?"
Xiao Ling asked rhetorically: "What did you deceive people thirty years ago......?"
Guan Xuzi suddenly became angry and said angrily: "Nonsense, what can I lie to him?"
Xiao Ling snorted, and said angrily: "If you don't come, I don't know what you have?" ”
Hearing Ling'er's shouting, Guan Xuzi smiled awkwardly, but then, he sighed, and he actually felt a little bit of vicissitudes of life.
Xiao Ling frowned and said, "You, what's wrong with you?"
Guan Xuzi was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, this matter has something to do with your father. ”
Xiao Ling was surprised: "Didn't my father die twenty years ago?"
"It's hard to put into words!"
Guanzi brushed his messy hair, "Still don't say it." ”
Looking at Guan Xuzi's sad eyes, Xiao Ling didn't feel good in his heart, "Grandpa, I don't know whether to say something or not." ”
Of course, this is just a customary polite sentence, and it still has to be said.
Who knows, Guan Xuzi suddenly turned his head and said calmly: "Then don't say it." ”
Xiao Ling was dumbfounded.
Guan Xuzi looked at the sky leisurely and said, "It's so gloomy today, I'm afraid it's going to rain at night!"
The night was getting deeper, and the rain began to fall in the evening, and when everything was quiet, there was still no intention of stopping.
Tang Yan lived in the upper room on the third floor, but Xu Chen and Lu Shi lived on the lowest first floor together, and after the rain, they felt that the air was a little damp, and they could even smell an unpleasant musty smell, which was the difference in how much money was spent.
Xu Chen tossed and turned, and he couldn't sleep all the time, but there was a reason for that.
Lu Shi was asleep, but the snoring of the thick and strong man actually matched his figure very well, not to mention earth-shattering, it was also a faint sound of shock.
