Chapter 30: Meat in the Noodles, Boning Knife
He vaguely heard the sound of ridicule coming from behind him, and it was already hazy in his ears.
Leng Xiao was stunned in his heart, what was the end of the girl in green, he didn't want to compare anymore. Is it life or death, and what does it have to do with him?
He never thought of himself as a chivalrous man, nor did he think of himself as a good person. He has had so many lives on his hands that saving people seems to be a kind of irony.
After leaving the inn, he came to a noodle shop on the side of the road, a total of three tables were empty, two empty, compared with some inns and restaurants, it always seemed extremely depressed.
"Xiao Er, let's have a bowl of noodles. ”
Xiao Er took the towel, glanced at the woman in Leng Xiao's arms, and didn't ask much, only answered loudly, then hurriedly retreated, and quickly came out with a bowl of somen noodles.
Before taking the first bite, Leng Xiao frowned and spit it out directly. This noodle is naturally not delicious, bland and tasteless, and even the salt is reluctant to sprinkle a few more grains. However, there is a layer of yellow greasy greasy oil stains floating on the soup noodles, as if the bowl has not been cleaned.
"Little Er, come to a pot of good wine!"
Following Leng Xiao's instructions, Xiao Er quickly brought out a jar of good wine, and after Leng Xiao took it, he immediately poured a sip, rinsed it carefully, and spit it on the ground, and the wine mixed with sand rolled out dozens of dusty beads.
Then he drank the wine into his throat, and there were no customers in the noodle shop, so he invited Xiao Er to drink with him.
With a humble smile on his face, Xiao Er sat opposite Leng Xiao with a big horse golden knife.
Leng Xiao toasted a bowl with him and said, "Although your shop is a black shop, the wine is good, no worse than the brew in some big restaurants." ”
Xiao Er wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "What does this mean, the shop is simple, and the noodles are just clear soup noodles, if the guest master is not used to eating, he can't slander the shop like this, what we do is a serious business." ”
Leng Xiao glanced at the door of the black hole, and said, "Is there only one little brother in this store?"
Xiao Er said: "The guest master is smiling, the shop is small and there are no customers, and I can't afford to hire people, so I have all the work done by the shopkeeper, the running hall, and the cook." ”
Leng Xiao looked at the diners at the only table again, and the group of three people at that table had fallen asleep on the table, and he smiled: "I didn't expect these people to eat a few bowls of noodles, but they are more powerful than the wine in my hand." ”
As he spoke, he stirred the noodles in the bowl with chopsticks, and there were a few sticky pieces of meat mixed in the noodles, which looked so disgusting, and it was from these pieces of meat that a touch of oil floated out.
Xiao Er narrowed his eyes and said slowly: "Master Ke doesn't know, in this ghost place, vegetables are more expensive than meat," he paused, "There is not much meat in the store, so let's eat some." ”
"I don't know what the price of vegetables is, but this meat is very cheap. Leng Xiao said.
Xiao Er laughed out loud for a while: "Exactly, exactly, but this meat is cheap, and it is troublesome to disassemble." ”
He took out a boning knife from his waist and scratched it on the towel: "The small one has been dismantled for two years, but I have also realized a little bit of experience, and the guest master is very interested, do you want to see a thing or two? Although the small skill is not more noble than the qin and chess, not more elegant than calligraphy and painting, not more magnificent than poetry, not more affectionate than songs, but it is also a little interesting. ”
"What a sharp knife. ”
"Grinding day and night, if it is not sharp, it will be too disappointing. ”
Leng Xiao looked into the distance: "The friends in Xia have found it, and they are more interested in this kind of kitsch skill than in Xia." ”
The boning knife turned around in the little second-hand, he thought that Leng Xiao had deceived him, but at this look, those four or five people were really looking at Leng Xiao, there seemed to be a sneer on their faces, who were they ridiculing?
He sighed with a gloomy expression: "People, you can't always be quiet. ”
Xiao Er raised his eyes and looked at those people for a while, these people are not more elegant than Leng Xiao, they are all full of rivers and lakes, and they are by no means easy to get along with. As soon as his mind turned, he planned to strike first.
Four or five men came out carrying Hu Junya, and saw the young man who had just been frightened by them sitting in a noodle shop, the tables and chairs were all placed in the open air, and only a shed was installed to shelter them from the sun and rain, but they could see it at a glance.
Without waiting for them to get closer, they suddenly greeted the second child of the shop with a smile: "A few guests, come and eat a bowl of noodles?"
The square-faced man at the head pushed Xiao Er impatiently: "Go, go, don't want to come to noisy Lao Tzu!"
Xiao Er was pushed by him and staggered, but the square-faced man fell down by himself and fell straight into Xiao Er's arms. Leng Xiao saw that the boning knife turned between the two fingers, and almost in the blink of an eye, three thin openings had been made between the ribs of the square-faced man's chest, and the heart must have been broken, just because the wound was extremely thin, and the blood could not flow out for a while.
Xiao Er hugged him: "Ouch, Master Ke, be careful! What, you want to eat a bowl of wine? Okay, let's take a seat first!"
He greeted the square-faced man with one hand and hugged the square-faced man with the other, and the two were so close that it looked like the square-faced man was following him. Just those who are attentive can see that the square-faced man is dragging his feet on the ground.
After taking a few steps closer, the remaining few people suddenly saw the clue and were about to drink, but they didn't know that Xiao Eryu was always looking at them, and he couldn't hide it at the moment, so he pushed the square-faced man and sent the knife in his hand towards those people.
The people on both sides scolded angrily, and they seemed to have some taboos, and they didn't dare to make too much noise, and they only suppressed their throats when they scolded.
Leng Xiao drank the unfinished wine directly in the jar, but instead drank a bit of Sven temperament, and the wine trickled down. His eyes seemed to be drunk and misty, watching this good show.
When the wine is exhausted, I will get tired of watching this play. When I drank it, I was intoxicated, and at this time it was over, and when I tasted it again, I was too coarse and astringent, and I was a little bored in my heart.
He put down a piece of broken silver on the table and walked away with his wife in his arms. The play was opened by him, and he didn't care at all about how it ended.
He glanced at the casual pedestrians and muttered, "This little place is Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon." ”
It turned out that among those peddlers and pawns, five or six out of ten were characters who were not bad at kung fu, and if it weren't for Xiao Er fighting those men, they wouldn't have been able to expose their flaws.
He suddenly remembered what the innkeeper had said before, in the past six months, many outsiders have come to several nearby counties.
These people are all masters of the nose, since they are all gathered here, it must be beneficial, otherwise they will definitely not waste half a year like this.
Leng Xiao went straight to three inns, walked nearly two miles away, and found a vacant room. After opening a room, he asked Xiao Er about it, and Xiao Er opened his mouth and replied: "A treasure map was circulated half a year ago, and the location of the treasure was near Beihui to Chunwang, and there were countless people who touched the treasure in the past six months. ”
He said it casually, thinking that it was no longer a secret, but something that everyone knew.
Leng Xiao asked again: "What kind of treasure can make people willing to believe in a treasure map that comes from nothing, so that time is wasted?"
"Naturally, it is the remnant of the legendary strange man of the former dynasty, even if nine out of ten are fake, as long as there is a glimmer of possibility that it is true, no one will give up. ”
