Chapter 224 One after another

The old man who had been here for half his life seemed to be a little proud when he talked about this.

Sishui Village, do whatever it wants.

There are few guests in the inn on weekdays, so there are only two old shopkeepers and young men. From sweeping to cooking, the young men take care of everything. The most common thing the old shopkeepers do is to lean on the counter to smoke dry cigarettes while quietly watching the pedestrians coming and going outside the door. Those people seem to have never changed. The elderly are the elderly and children are the children.

After all the food was served, the young man stepped back to a square table under the counter and sat down. He occasionally glanced back at the direction where Chen Kuan was, as if he was observing whether the guests liked it or not.

Chen Kuang first tasted the wine. The wine tasted softly in the mouth, but the aftertaste was mixed with a bit of violence, which was quite different.

Seeing Chen Kuang taking a sip of wine, the old shopkeeper named Tao Ran asked with a smile: "How about my Qiaoyao wine?"

Chen Kuang put down his wine glass after hearing this and replied in two simple words: "It's delicious!"

The old shopkeeper smiled and sucked a big mouthful of dry tobacco with pride. No one who had drunk the wine didn't like it.

The young man Fu Bai at the counter also smiled after hearing this sentence. The guest was naturally happy to like him.

Chen Kuang would chat with the old shopkeeper while eating and drinking. Fu Bai never talked to him and just sat there and listened quietly.

After a long time, the drizzle outside the house gradually stopped, and a new guest walked into the inn in the tiny drizzle.

The person who came was a girl in a black dress. She was wearing a clean and neat ponytail, but she was still full of heroism without makeup on her face. The girl in black dress was very simple, with only a long sword in her hand, and she was free and unrestrained.

Fu Bai, who was sitting under the cabinet, saw another guest coming in, and he took the initiative to greet him without waiting for the old shopkeeper to speak.

After entering the door, the girl in black looked at the empty inn at the door, with an old shopkeeper, a young man and a passerby who rested here like herself. There was nothing strange about it.

"Prepare a room for me, as long as you can stay. Then give me two side dishes, two bowls of rice, one... half a pound of wine, I'll have dinner first." After sitting down in the lobby, the girl ordered Fu Bai who walked up to her.

When Fu Bai heard this, he responded one by one, and then went to the kitchen to prepare to go.

The old shopkeeper was still smoking dry cigarettes on the counter as usual. A new girl came, and the old shopkeeper still spoke, "Look at the girl's in a hurry, where are you going? Is Pingshan City?"

The girl in black looked at the old shopkeeper on the counter and nodded, "I heard that something dirty has happened at the Chen family in Pingshan City recently. Mr. Chen offered a high reward for removing the dirty dirt. It seems that many Maoshan Taoists have already passed by. I will go there to join in the fun."

The girl in black cannot cover up her purpose in this trip and speak out directly.

After she said that, the old shopkeeper was slightly lost and thought about it, but he couldn't remember what Chen Yuanwai was like, but he still smiled and said, "The price of such a wealthy person is often not low. If a girl has some real skills, this time she will be enough to live for the rest of her life."

She wanted a pound of wine, but in the end she changed it to half a pound. The old shopkeeper Tao Ran could see it at a glance.

The girl in black laughed at herself and said, "I'm just going to join in the fun. I haven't seen mountain spirits and ghosts before. I don't want to kill them, and it's good to be able to see them."

The old shopkeeper laughed and said, "That's true. I have lived a long life and only saw that thing once, and fortunately it's not a demon. At that time, several Taoist priests from the same sect made Dharma, and Buddhist monks sent them away after another salvation. I heard that if they were a demon, it would be very troublesome."

The old shopkeeper's words were obviously something that the girl in black had never heard of before, so I couldn't help but feel a little worried after hearing this.

Seeing this, the old shopkeeper smiled and said, "Miss, don't be scared by my words. Ghosts and monsters are rarer than monsters, and their formation conditions are extremely harsh, making it even more difficult to become a ghost. So this time it will probably be a little tricky and nothing can happen. By the way, the girl may be able to go with the young hero behind you. His name is Jiang Yi, and he also wants to go to Pingshan City. Although he does not tell the purpose without telling him, I see that his poor appearance is probably also for the reward from Chen Yuanwai's family."

When the old shopkeeper talked about another person in the inn, the girl in black turned her head and looked over.

She didn't look at it carefully just now. After a few glances, she found that it was a green-soldier with a pretty appearance. The other party had a long sword as her, but there was an extra gourd.

The old shopkeeper's last words were obviously to create opportunities for Shen Kuang, so after he finished speaking, he looked at Shen Kuang with a smile, meaning not to thank me.

Seeing the girl turning her head to look at her, Shen Kuang had to fold his fists and greet him, "I'm here Jiang Sui, I've seen a girl."

The girl in black also clasped her fists and replied, "I'm down Mu Yunfu, Young Master Shen is polite."

A simple and ordinary polite sentence.

Seeing the two of them being awkward, the old shopkeeper smiled and joked: "Brother Jiang, is my guess wrong? Is your purpose of going to Pingshan City also for the Chen family's reward?"

Shen Kuang replied after hearing this: "Shopkeeper Tao, I am actually going to Lingshan City, but I am just passing Pingshan City."

After Shen Kuang finished speaking, the old shopkeeper ignored it: "Since you are on the way, then you will walk with Miss Mu in the future. You are a rare fate in the world. Let's go to the Chen family together. Maybe you can get a reward."

Shen Kuang said politely: "Shopkeeper Tao, I met Miss Mu by chance, but I haven't reached the point where I can walk with you."

At this moment, Mu Yunfu also replied slowly: "Young Master Shen's words are also my thoughts."

The two of them politely refused each other, and the old shopkeeper Tao Ran felt a pity. What a good man and a girl, it seems that he is not good at matching up.

Not long after, Fu Bai brought the wine and food that Mu Yunfu wanted. Although she was a woman, she was not as gentle as a girl in terms of eating and drinking. After drinking three glasses in a row, she put down the wine glass and smiled with satisfaction.

Seeing this, the old shopkeeper Tao Ran knew that Mu Yunfu was very satisfied with the drink and smiled and said, "Miss Mu can drink too much than Brother Jiang. My wine is very good!"

Mu Yunfu smiled and nodded: "It's delicious."

An answer that is exactly the same as Shen Kuan.

Shen Kuang listened to the words of the old shopkeeper and Mu Yunfu, and was confused. When did he say something bad about drinking?

Mu Yunfu is not like Shen Kuang, who drinks wine and food. She seems to be really hungry, so after putting down the wine glass, she starts to eat in big mouthfuls, and the bowl of rice will soon come to an end.

Fubai made two simple side dishes, one scrambled with green peppers and the other skewed lamb with green onion.

Fu Bai was naturally very happy to see the guests eating.

Tao Ran, the old shopkeeper who was smoking a dry tobacco at the counter, smiled when he saw Mu Yunfu's careless appearance. This girl still has to be like this.

He was a little disappointed that he had not been able to match Jiang Yi and Mu Yunfu all the way, but now he raised his fighting spirit again.

Men and girls, stop and walk.

In the evening, the clouds in the west gradually turn from fiery red to dark red, the light gradually weakens, and the west mountains are dusk.

Before the night came, the white light lit up the lanterns outside the inn. At night, every household in the village rested early, so soon there were only two left in front of the inn.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

A lantern and a quiet moon hanging in the sky.

After dinner, Mu Yunfu went straight back to the room. She didn't forget to bring the unfinished drinks with her. The girl loved to drink, not the first one.

Chen Kuang first went to the backyard stable and looked at the room that the hero returned. The Tianzi room was not only large, but also the elegant decoration was deep in Chen Kuang's heart. Chen Kuang felt unrestrained and felt that it was great to have money when going out.

In the lobby on the first floor, Fu Bai finished tidying up and sat at the table again, slowly, he began to doze.

Tao Ran, the old shopkeeper at the counter, still took a sip of dry tobacco from time to time. The cicadas outside the house kept chirping, and looked at the sky and it was time to close.

Tao Ran knocked the ashes on the counter, and he flicked his fingers lightly and shot the dozing white in the air.

Fu Bai, who was confused, felt a stinging pain on the back of his hand and soon woke up. He only heard the shopkeeper say, "Fu Bai, it's closed."

"Yeah!" Fu Bai replied.

Fu Bai walked to the door and looked up at the bright moon in the sky. Except for the occasional roundness and inconsistency, the moon seemed to be there forever and would not leave.

Just when Fu Bai was about to be about to have a door, two figures appeared in the night, which scared him.

Two figures approached, and Fu Bai leaned back.

Tao Ran, the old shopkeeper at the counter, frowned and asked, "What's wrong with Fu Bai?"

"Shopkeeper, yes...yes..."

“What’s there?”

As they spoke, two figures had approached. Fu Bai saw that it was two people. He calmed down and replied, "The shopkeeper, there are two guests."

It’s almost enough to meet a guest, but today four of them came at once.

The old shopkeeper Tao Ran looked out the door when he heard this. The door that had been half closed was pushed open again. Two figures in the night walked into the inn facing the faint candlelight.

The two men came, in their early thirties, with a little vicissitudes of life, and they seemed to have just arrived here after being exhausted. The two of them were just the simplest pedestrian outfits, not locals, nor were they wandering around the world, so they had no weapons to do with them.

After entering the inn, the two apologized for the scare of Fu Bai just now, and Fu Bai hurriedly said no.

Tao Ran looked at the two of them, and this time he asked in person: "Do you two guests want to stay in a hotel?"

One of them replied softly when he heard this, "A guest room is good, no need to be too expensive."

"How about one tael of silver?"

"Then I'm thankful for the shopkeeper. We brothers are really short of money."

Tao Ran waved his hand: "Everyone has times when there are difficulties."

After he finished speaking, Fu Bai looked at the two of them and said, "Two guests, please follow me."

Hearing the words, the two of them bowed to Tao Ran politely, and then followed Fu Bai to the room.

Tao Ran looked at the two of them leaving their backs and sneered unconsciously at the corner of his mouth.

The appearance of the passerby who pretended to be a passerby and looked at them vaguely, revealing their purpose. After avoiding these people for so many years, they are really in dispersed.

The old shopkeeper took a sip of dry tobacco and vomited it out, whispering to himself: "Now in this world, there are so many people who are not afraid of death!"

Fu Bai, who had returned to the lobby, closed the door directly, greeted the shopkeeper and went back to the room to rest.

After Fu Bai left, Tao Ran put away the cigarette pole and walked slowly towards the backyard. There was a small yard in the backyard that belonged to him. The yard was not big, so he only lived in it.

In the courtyard, Tao Ran walked towards the house step by step, but if someone was here at this time, he could see every step floating in the air.

"I haven't forgotten all the martial arts styles yet!" he sighed with a smile.
