The small inn has been around for quite a while, the wooden steps "creaked" straight up when they walked up, facing the street and leaning on a few hundred-year-old trees on the other side, raised the small window on the second floor. There is a large area of ​​dense trees falling down overwhelmingly, every morning, the clouds and mist have not yet collected the dew, the distant mountains and the water are lingering, the long streets are sparsely populated, the stone slabs are frosted, and the end can be seen at a glance.

The chubby shopkeeper pulled a rag, raised his hand and patted the yawning boy on the back, cursing: "Lazy bones, are there no life in the eyes? Still rubbing here!"

While babbling in his mouth, he carefully glanced at the window on the second floor facing the street.

There was a 16 or 7-year-old girl sitting there, her clothes were very plain, but her hair was tied with a red silk. The girl had her own picturesque eyebrows, she didn’t have to wear red or green, and she didn’t need to be jeweled. This little color is enough to add the finishing touch.

She has been living in the store for three days, and she just got dark every day, and she fixed herself to sit by the window, as if she was waiting for someone. In the past few years, most of the people who are out of the house are disgraced, and it is rare to see such a beautiful girl, and the shopkeeper can't help but look more.

He reprimanded the young man for lowering her voice, but the girl's ears were so good that she still heard it, and turned her head to take a look. The shopkeeper came forward personally and smiled, "Ms. Zhou is also early today. What would you like to eat earlier? I think you didn't move the dish yesterday. Is it salty, or you don't like it? ?"

At the foot of Mount Heng, there is only such an inn with a radius of several tens of miles. Although the world is sluggish today, it is also quite lively.

It is said that this place was also a lively place in the early years, with various shops, large and small, but later all collapsed. Only this inn called "Sanchun" stands out.

Passengers passing by from north to south have to stop here. Naturally, everyone will come. They are aggressive, unreasonable, particularly difficult to serve, and eccentric... The boss has all answered correctly. It must go smoothly and let the guests come and go safely, relying on the real skill of "talking to people and talking nonsense to people."

It was Zhou Fei sitting by the window. The Hengshan area was the junction of the north and the south. When the fight started, both sides were fighting. It is temporarily peaceful, and it has become a place where both sides do not care. It's really messy.

She and Xie Yun headed south from Huarong all the way. They dared not stay in the northern dynasty. They ran out of the northern dynasty's jurisdiction and waited for Duan Jiuniang in these three places.

But now, the three-day period has passed, but Duan Jiuniang has no news at all.

Zhou Fei has no appetite, but when he sees the enthusiasm of others, he is embarrassed to droop his face, so he reluctantly smiles and says: "It's nothing, I'm a little uncomfortable with eating, just go on."

The shopkeeper glanced at her expression, and smiled kindly: "Girl, the sky is falling, but you have to eat too? Early in the morning, the other guests are not up, you tolerate me. Two more words, you'll know that you've been squandered to my age as a villain. There will be a day in the past for things that will never pass. If you are homesick, sooner or later you can go home, if you miss someone, sooner or later you can see someone again. , Don’t worry, as long as you live one more day, you may encounter some miraculous things. I have hope every day. Isn’t it okay?"

The shopkeeper has a white and fat face. When he smiles, he can’t see his teeth. If he stretches and flattens the person on the paper, it’s a block letter saying "Gong Xi Fa Cai", watching Feeling relieved, Zhou Fei couldn't help but smile at him when he saw that he was really likable.

The shopkeeper said: "Isn't this all right? The girl waits, the villain tells the lazy honobo to serve you hot. There is food in my belly, so I don't panic in my heart——"

The fat man spoke very confidently, his temples were white, and he was still very vigorous. He threw the rag to his shoulder, hummed a small song and went downstairs. Zhou Fei heard that he had just walked a few steps away, and he said Exclaimed like Hong Zhong: "Oh, Master Xie, did you go out early in the morning? So early, so early!"

Zhou Fei looked sideways, and saw Xie Yun running up in three steps and two steps, and said to her: "Mr. Bai is escorting Miss Wu all the way, and he will probably take some detours. Miss Wu can't bear to work, and she may be on the road. I have to rest for a few more days. It must be a bit slower than us. I will probably figure it out. I will probably have a good time in these two days."

Zhou Fei finally had some spirit, and asked: "Will there be a letter? How to send it?"

"Mr. Bai was born in a'walking gang' before, and there are a lot of miscellaneous ways under his hand..." Xie Yun didn't finish a word, Xiao Er brought up breakfast, Xie Yun jumped up and ran over to take it. The crumbling kettle said, "Slow down, slow down, I'll do it. Is there any sauce made by the proprietress? Is it for me today? I think I have to go along with a can before I leave, otherwise I won't have any taste in the next half year."

Most of the people who rush to the road are not in a good mood. The second person in the shop rarely meets such a talking customer, and he happily took a bite out of the buck teeth: "I have a big bowl for you."

Xie Yun sat back, first dipped his chopsticks in hot water, put the two bowls of noodles away, picked out a small bowl of noodles from Zhou Fei's bowl, and gave her a few pieces of meat from his bowl.

Zhou Fei hurriedly said: "Hey, don't..."

"Hurry up and eat it for me," Xie Yun raised his head and smiled at her, revealing a dimple that can't be seen if you don't look carefully, and said pretentiously, "This kind of good sauce is too flavorful to be applied to the meat slices. , Otherwise it will ruin the sauce and the meat, and it will be as sinful as the abrupt beauty."

Zhou Fei even ran away for his life these few days. He probably understood the temper of this person. Except for the legs, there is only a tummy of fallacies and heresies left on Mr. Xie’s body. He wants to argue with you "Sun" It rises from the west," and he can sit there and talk in the vernacular all day long. You must be able to convince everyone that the sun rises from the west.

Zhou Fei didn't bother with him, but just asked: "What is a gangster?"

Xie Yun mixed the yellow sauce made by the proprietress into the noodles and said, "Do you know the Beggar Gang?"

Zhou Fei nodded.

Xie Yun said: "The beggars help snare the beggars from all over the world. There are leaders and elders in it. They cut slices according to the ground and do their own things. They are very moral, and the rules are strict inside. A few bags of elders and a few bags of disciples will know at a glance. Therefore, they are regarded as "white roads." They are almost the same, and they are also a group of down and out of the world, but there is a way of "cars and boats shops, innocence should be killed", they are walking in the "underworld"."

Zhou Fei didn't quite understand, and asked: "What...what tooth?"

"Hurry up and eat, don’t get cold for a while, and listen to people’s words without taking your mouth." Xie Yun tapped on the table with her fingers, and saw that she lowered her head and took a few mouthfuls of noodles before proceeding calmly. Said, "'Car and boat shop feet' talk about five kinds of trades: driving, punting, shopping, walking, and buying and selling. These people go north and south, but it’s not necessarily bad. It’s just that there are a lot of people inside and the water is deep and the rules are big. If an ignorant fat sheep ran into it, it would only be unlucky to be killed and overwhelmed."

Zhou Fei "cocked" in his heart, thinking that Wu Chuchu's daughter-in-law was in the hands of a "killer and overwhelming" person, and she couldn't swallow anything in her mouth.

Xie Yun went on to say: "These five kinds of people are collectively referred to as the'Xingjiagang'. Although they are not in the control of the same boss, they all know what is going on. Brothers who have one line and one line do business called 'One hand is black and the other hand is white', if you know the business, you are your own person, and you have a wired hand, you can rest assured, the rules of walking and helping are bigger than the sky, whether you are sending things or asking about things, you can do it properly, and it is very reliable. , This is called'white business', I won't say more about'black business', you can imagine it-don't worry about Mr. Bai, he is a cousin of mine, you can trust him, he has seven or eight Follow him along the line of gangsters. As long as you don’t run into the Northern Dynasties Eagle Dog, you will cook fish for you in the Water Bandit Village."

Zhou Fei said "Oh". She originally thought that even if she was born in the "underworld", she came down to realize that the forty-eight villages to pull the bandit flag was entirely for disgusting the emperor of the Northern Dynasty. Everyone felt that She is a little white flower born in a decent school, and she grew up in Xanadu.

Zhou Fei thought for a while, then asked: "Then can I ask them to help find someone to deliver the letter?"

Xie Yun: "Huh?"

Zhou Fei counted them one by one: "I have to find Mrs. Wang first. I don’t know how she is. First, my brother left without saying goodbye. I can’t find anymore. She can’t tell my mother when she goes home. I don’t know how to get angry, and I have to tell her about Brother Chenfei... and the secret pile of rebellion over there. I don’t know how many people are involved, and I also learned that the elders of the guild have called..."

Xie Yun looked at her in surprise: "Your head is not big, but you can really pretend to be."

Zhou Fei was interrupted by him, and half-deadly rolled her eyes at him, and she wanted to go home more and more--when she was at Forty-eight Village, she didn't even bother to compete with Li Sheng. Apart from practicing, she occasionally dealt with Li. Yan, she didn't pretend to be anything in her heart. Even when she first came down the mountain, she only wanted to be a follower of her duty to Mrs. Wang and Lao, without even paying attention to the hidden piles in the village.

Who knows that the world is impermanent, and in a blink of an eye she is helpless, physically and mentally.

Xie Yun thought for a while, suddenly took out a small paper bag from her arms and handed it to her: "This is for you."

Zhou Fei took it inexplicably, opened it, and found that there was a bag of sugar cubes inside. I don't know where I bought it. I'm afraid it was homemade by the farmer. It was chopped with thick leaves and a piece that could choke a child.

Zhou Fei looked at Xie Yun suspiciously: "I thought you had a business going out early in the morning. After a long time of trouble, you went to buy sweets?"

Xie Yun shook his head and said, "With a pair of eyebrows, some people think that the grand plan is the business. I think it is the business to make the little beauty happy. What is the difference? I think I am a little more elegant."

Zhou Feipi smiled and said without a smile: "Brother Xie, I think you have to practice your light skills, at least as diligent as your mouth, otherwise you will easily get blood and light."

While speaking, there was a heavy knock on the door suddenly downstairs.

The inn opens the door to welcome guests. As long as it is not closed, the door is open, but the visitor has to knock on the door to show that he has arrived.

I saw that the man was thin and thin, with a pointed cheek chin, a thunder's mouth, and he could go out to play a monkey with his hair attached. He was also dressed in white clothes, followed by a large group of people wearing hemp and filial piety, as if he had just cried. spirit.

The leading thin monkey straddled the threshold with one foot in the field, and looked up and down the little Sanchun Inn, smiled slightly, and clasped his fists to the shopkeeper and said: "Uncle, brothers. ', just carried three lengths and two shorts into the yin house, howling all the way, selling a lot of energy, you ask for auspiciousness, enjoy two cups of tea and eat with us."

Zhou Fei frowned and looked downstairs. The guests who were staying here had already got up. They came out to eat breakfast in twos and threes. Early in the morning, they saw a group of people blocking the door with filthy and filial piety, and their faces were not very good-looking.

The shopkeeper is also a real person. When he saw this, he could still squeeze a smile. After a round of worship, he said kindly, "This is okay, Xiaoluzi, bring some tea money over here." Bai Kongfang’s big buddies quench their thirst!"

The skinny monkey straddling the threshold heard that he had revealed his origins, so he raised his eyes and stared at the shopkeeper for a moment, smiled like a zombie, and said with a thumb: "The shopkeeper is worthy of being a businessman. Bright, visionary, and sensible."

Zhou Fei asked in a low voice, "What is'Bai Kongfang'?"

Xie Yun said: "It's paper money-there used to be big families going out for funerals and funerals. They were afraid that there would be not enough filial children and grandchildren at home. Please ask a group of people to follow the crying spirit. Now there are not so many businesses. They are starting to buy and take cards. It’s okay. It’s common to open a store to welcome customers and deal with local ruffians."

His voice declined, so he saw Xiao Er holding a small purse and handed it tremblingly to those crying.

The shopkeeper nodded and bowed his waist and said, "It's disrespectful for the mere tea money. You guys come in to rest your feet and pad your stomach, okay?"

About enough money, the skinny monkey filled the money bag in his hand, his expression relaxed a lot, nodded and smiled: "No, it's not early, don't delay your business, go--"

He gave an order, and a large group of "filial sons and virtuous grandsons" picked up the funeral gongs, and walked away one by one. When the shopkeeper saw them turning around, he gave a vicious sip, and told the shopkeeper to slap the back of his head and cursed: "Let's see, don't sweep the floor!"

After that, he quickly put out a smile on his face again, and apologized to the customers in the store one by one.

If there is someone who is good at talking, just complain once, and there are also people who are not good at talking. You need to have the shopkeeper reluctant to talk about it, say everything auspiciously, and wear a layer of your mouth.

Zhou Fei looked upstairs and felt that his chubby figure resembled the "knocking tumbler" sold at the market. She couldn't help feeling sullen, and she felt that she couldn't do it in the life of opening a store.

She once felt that after stepping through the Ximojiang River, the sky is high and the earth is wide, nothing can hold her up, but now she knows that with her little qualifications, it is probably enough for people to guard the house, not to mention the big business. , "Small business" is also a mess. Zhou Fei squeezed a piece of candy bought by Xie Yun and stuffed it into her mouth. The cheeks bulged up. It took a long time to taste a bitter sweetness. She thought to herself: "I will go back this time. , I won’t be ashamed of coming out casually."

At this moment, a few screams suddenly came from outside the inn, and the sound of suona and gongs stopped abruptly. The whole inn fell silent, and the shopkeeper who was sweeping at the door opened his eyes wide.

Zhou Fei looked out from the wooden window on the second floor, and saw two fast horses running aggressively across the long street. The horses were wearing hats and could not see their faces, so they rushed directly through the group of Bai Kongfang. In the past, the rider took a long whip and overturned a large group of filial sons and grandchildren who were singing and playing. They saw that the whip had barbs, and the flesh and blood could tear off a layer of human skin.

The two rushed to the front of the Sanchun Inn in a blink of an eye, and saw that the little second of the shop was holding a broom stupidly, and the whip stained with minced meat could not help speaking, and then drew it at him.

Seeing that Xiao Er's head was about to turn into a rotten watermelon, two wooden chopsticks suddenly fell from the second floor, one was off the whip, and the other was poking on the wrist of the whip holder.

The rider's long whip immediately let go, and the sinister barb passed by the hapless shop second, who almost sat on the ground with a "puff", shivering into a leaf.

The rider took off the hat on his head and stared fiercely at the wooden window on the second floor—it was a young man in his early twenties.
