A few shopkeepers saw that the girl was slightly shy, beautiful and moving, and the originally tense face was a little relieved, and at this moment saw the girl smiling at them, where was there still half a point of anger, and the little second brother said in a loud voice: "The girl is smiling, there is no difficulty for anyone to go out, so let's go make a pot of hot tea and let you go to the cold first, and then go to the kitchen to find something to eat for you." ”

Ming Ruo smiled sweetly and said, "There is Brother Lao." ”

Zhang Banxian snorted, stood aside with a stiff face, and a few shopkeepers didn't care, their minds had already been placed on this lovely girl, don't look at how much they usually deal with people, but when have I ever seen such a bright girl speak to them so politely, that big brother made these people's waist poles that were used to lowering subconsciously straighten a little.

The shopkeeper who first quarreled with Zhang Banxian secretly glanced at Mingruo, only to see that on the girl's snow-white face, there were a few strands of wet hair falling on her cheeks, and a few raindrops slipped down the tips of her hair.

He was about to go to prepare for those things, and suddenly heard a panic exclamation from his companion behind him, he was feeling strange, looked up, and didn't think that this look was almost frightened, and behind the girl, a behemoth figure appeared silently at some point.

A big dog, always huge, at a glance almost like a small bull big black dog!

The big black dog was looking at them, and the cold color in the beast's eyes made his scalp tingle, and he felt as if he was being stared at by some terrible beast, and his heart flew wildly!

"This ...... Is this a dog?" The shopkeeper's face was flustered, and he retreated a few feet away under the pull of his companion, stammered, and then remembered something, and shouted: "Girl, be careful!"

Unexpectedly, the bright girl smiled back, and without fear reached out and rubbed the head of the big black dog, and in their stunned eyes, the big dog actually bowed its head meekly and let out a gentle whining.

Seeing the frightened looks of several people, Ming Ruo smiled slightly and said softly: "Don't be afraid, this is my family's big black." ”

When the shopkeepers heard her words, their nervous expressions slowly relaxed, but they still looked at the big black dog with palpitations from time to time, and even their movements became cautious, for fear that one would accidentally anger this big dog that felt like a beast like a mountain.

However, Zhang Banxian saw the frightened looks of several people, sneered, and even looked at the dead dog's gaze, which felt much more pleasing to the eye.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps from behind, and then a middle-aged man's voice came: "Xiao Wu, what are you doing around there, are there any guests coming?"

The shopkeepers looked back, and the person who came was the shopkeeper who had been burying his head in the back to settle accounts, and the movement here was obviously alarming his own owner.

The shopkeeper, whom he called "Little Five", hurriedly greeted him and whispered a few words.

Boss Chen is an honest man, although this middle-aged man who is not confused is a businessman, but he does not have too much snobbery of a businessman, his family business is big, he is willing to give, and has won the praise of the people in the city.

Hearing Xiao Wu's words, Boss Chen was stunned at first, and then looked over, looking at the old and young people with fixed eyes, especially the old Taoist who was holding a bamboo pole and white cloth in his hand, as if he saw something incredible, he was stunned all of a sudden, it stands to reason that Boss Chen has opened an inn all his life, and people come and go from all over the world, and he has long since remembered how many guests and passers-by he greeted, but he is getting older, and he has never forgotten the old man who was a crane bone fairy back then.

After staying for a long time, Boss Chen Huo Ran came to his senses, exclaimed "ah", and walked up quickly, there was a trace of irrepressible excitement, and the slightly bloated body almost trotted up in the end, so that the young man named Xiao Wu behind him did not come to his senses for a while.

"Zhang, Zhang Xianchang, is it your old man?"

Boss Chen rushed to Zhang Banxian all of a sudden, his expression was excited, and his face was even more respectful, only a few people next to him were dumbfounded, and even Mingruo looked at his grandfather in surprise, secretly wondering if his grandfather really had a good relationship with the innkeeper back then?

Zhang Banxian naturally didn't know his granddaughter's thoughts, and wanted him to know that he might blow his beard angrily and stare at him, but looking at this middle-aged man with a strange face, Zhang Banxian's heart was also confused, and he remembered that he hadn't seen this person, but after thinking about it, his Zhang Daxian's immortal name had already spread all over the country, and it was not surprising to be recognized. ”

Boss Chen bowed and said respectfully: "The old fairy said that he laughed, if it weren't for your kindness back then, where would there be this smoke and rain building, after many years, my father and the little one have missed your old man." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Banxian was stunned when he heard this, his eyes looked at Boss Chen's face carefully for a moment, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt that this person had a good face, and suddenly remembered something, and said in surprise: "Are you the child of the old Chen family back then?"

Boss Chen saw that this old fairy still recognized himself, and he was excited in his heart, and said in a lost voice: "It's me who is rich, this, this, this has been almost twenty-seven or eight years, and the demeanor of the immortal is still the same." ”

Zhang Banxian smiled slightly, calmly and indifferently, stretched out his hand to lightly brush the dust that did not exist on his clothes, and tore the fire spirit talisman in his arms without a trace, and the moisture on his body suddenly became hot and a burst of white mist appeared, and his clothes were dried in less than a while. After passing through the old road, he didn't forget to take the time to proudly glance at the stunned granddaughter next to him and the disrespectful shopkeeper before, and said with a faint smile: "I am not a person in the world, over the years, I have traveled all over the world, visited the mountains and explored the secluded, made an idle cloud and wild crane, and was at ease, I didn't think that today I saw the old man again, by the way, what about the old Chen shopkeeper?"

Boss Chen's face darkened, and he said gloomily: "My father passed away a few years ago, and his biggest regret is that he couldn't see your old man again. ”

Zhang Banxian was stunned for a moment, showing a little embarrassment, and silently glanced at the man who was no longer young in a blink of an eye, as if he could still see a trace of the appearance of a child from his face.

Lao Dao sighed and said lightly: "Life is rare for seventy years, and Lao Chen is considered to be dead, you don't need to be sad." ”

Boss Chen's eyes were slightly red, he nodded, cleaned up his mood, suddenly patted his head, and said with a sincere smile: "Towards my virtue, I only care about nagging, I almost forgot to greet your old man, it is rare for the old fairy to come again today, which really makes the small shop shine!"

Saying that, he hurriedly called the guys behind him, and ordered the best tea, wine and food, those shopkeepers had already looked stupid, who would have thought that this old warlock who they thought was an old and ploppy warlock was really an old fairy, just looking at the white mist that has not yet dissipated, is this the legendary immortal?

Seeing the respectful appearance of the owner, several people looked at each other, and when they heard Boss Chen's words, they immediately shook their hearts and smiled cautiously at the old man.

However, what kind of character Lao Dao praises, of course, he will not be as knowledgeable as these laymen, but if he wants to have a good color on his face, he doesn't want to think about it.

Although Boss Chen is an honest man, he knows that Zhang Banxian doesn't want to see those guys, so he scolded them a few words at the moment, and asked them to hurry up and prepare the box on the top floor of the building, and to wait for the old man in person.

A pot of good tea came up in less than a moment, Zhang Banxian and Ming Ruo sat on a clean table, and saw that Boss Chen was still standing respectfully on the side, this kind of treatment made the two of them a little embarrassed. Zhang Banxian looked around with a smile and said, "Xiao Chen, your store is really not small. ”

Boss Chen smiled and said sincerely: "It's still thanks to your old blessing, when the family was down, if my father hadn't been for the guidance of the immortal chief, you would have changed the feng shui for our ancestral house, my Chen family's meager ancestral business has long been lost, and today's smoke and rain building is also a little famous, but I never dared to forget the instructions of the immortal chief to be diligent and accumulate virtues." ”

Zhang Banxian stroked his beard and nodded, very pleased, like that, let the girl on the side look straight, and still a little dumbfounded, even the big black dog lying on the ground on the side also opened his mouth and looked up at Zhang Banxian, as if he knew this old way again.

Boss Chen chatted with Lao Dao for a few more words, suddenly woke up something, and said busily: "I don't know if the immortal chief is passing by this time, what is the place for the little one to be sent by you?"

Zhang Banxian coughed and said indifferently: "The old man was about to go to the Western Tiankunlun Immortal Sect to visit an old friend, passing by here, remembering that he had a relationship with your family here, so he came to see it, this is almost unrecognizable, alas, the world is in a hurry, the mirror is like the moon, this world is changing so fast, I am also a little caught off guard." ”

Ming Ruocha was only halfway drunk, almost choked on his words, coughed twice, and glanced at his grandfather, but Zhang Banxian was leisurely, tasting the tea, and didn't pay attention to it at all.

But Boss Chen nodded again and again, in awe, but then somehow, he also sighed, reading Zhang Banxian's words, his mood suddenly felt a little strange, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little confused.

When I first met Lao Dao, it was almost thirty years ago, when my father was still there, he was just an ignorant teenager, and now after many years, looking back, Lao Dao's appearance has not changed much, but he is more than half a hundred.

The years are not forgiving, ordinary people, just like this for a lifetime.

He looked at his shadow on the ground in a daze, the lonely candlelight, shining on his face, a bit of the inexplicable vicissitudes of life.

Just when he was a little distracted, the shopkeeper named Xiao Wu walked up to him lightly, hesitated for a moment, and said in a low voice: "Host, the banquet is ready, but there are already distinguished guests on the top floor...... What do you think is going to do?"
