Chapter 425 Maodian
While raising land, Xu Yi thought of Xujiacun, a place that did not bring him too many happy memories.
Unintentionally, it became his concern.
"I am becoming more and more in tune with this world!"
Saying silently, Xu Yi's body swayed and he entered a pond. He washed himself and felt much refreshed. However, his clothes were torn and there was no way to replace them. He had to cover his body with a torn piece of cloth, and his body was revealed again.
, shooting towards the nearest village.
His cultivation level is so high now that even if he is running around naked, it would be extremely difficult for ordinary people to see him.
He sneaked into the village, searched the courtyard, changed into a short jacket full of patches to cover his skin, and then slipped out. More than ten miles to the west was the official road.
Xu Yi, who had long been dissatisfied with the rough cloth, started to make a living as a path cutter. With his current level of cultivation, he would be able to make a living as a robber.
In less than half an hour, the rough farmer transformed into a scholar rushing to take the exam, wearing a white horse in green clothes, a square scarf covering his head, and an origami fan. With an air of elegance blowing on his face, he meandered westward along the official road.
It is about to enter summer, and everything is sprouting again. The grass on both sides of the official road is luxuriant, and the trees are among the flowers. From time to time, the breeze blows, the trees are swaying, and the fresh air blows on the face, which is very pleasant.
After a killing, it was rare to find this leisurely moment. Xu Yi did not hit the horse, but let it move slowly. He thought of the pamphlet in the Xumi ring of Xia Zimo, and with a thought, it was now in the palm of his hand.
Opening the title page, rows of beautiful light-ink small characters came into view. It was the poem "End of the World" written in the Duke's Mansion: withered vines and old trees, dim crows, small bridges and flowing water, people's homes, west wind and thin horses on the ancient road, the setting sun,
Heartbroken people are at the end of the world."
When I read it again, it is still his poem.
After the poem is Xia Zimo's annotation, or an extension of the poem.
After all, these poems have profound artistic conceptions but simple words.
However, Xia Meiren put pen to paper and expanded a poem into touching stories.
For example, the song "Jiang Hu" was exaggerated by Xia Meiren into a beautiful and sad story of rivers and lakes, and even gave birth to a pair of male and female protagonists, holding hands and laughing proudly in the bloody storm, which is a bit more delicious.
"I will keep my eyes open all night long to repay you for never raising my eyebrows in my life!"
Xu Yi let out a long sigh, closed the book and put it in his arms.
After walking for a while, we reached a fork in the road, and we found a rather large thatched shop. Three spacious thatched huts were lined up at once. The awnings in front of the door were set high, and there were more than a dozen thick tables and rough stools lined up.
In the low sheds on both sides, several large pots big enough to cook a whole cow were boiling the bones or stewing offal, heavy oil and spicy, and half the pot was filled with bright red chili pepper.
The strong aroma even prompted Xu Yi to hit his horse in a hurry. He rushed forward and flew directly from the horse to an empty table. He slapped a gold coin and said loudly, "Here comes the good wine and good meat!"
"
The money is gold coins, and the store owner knows that he has met a high-roller. He does not dare to neglect, and does not bother to urge the waiter to do it himself.
Soon, the table was filled with hot steamed buns, large basins of beef bones and beef offal, golden sticky pot, and large jars of sake.
Xu Yi was already very hungry. He opened his arms from left to right, and the meat buns, cowboys, and beef bones rushed into his mouth like running water. He huffed and puffed like a whale swallowing water. Even the thick beef bones were chewed directly. In the blink of an eye, he slowly filled the table and counted them.
Ten kilograms of food was put into his belly. Then he opened the mud seal, picked up the wine jar, and poured it into his mouth. In a moment, a jar of wine was also put into his stomach.
Hundreds of kilograms of stuff passed through the entrance, but Qingshan remained upright, his face did not turn red, his heart did not beat, and his lower abdomen did not bulge in the slightest.
After not eating for half a month, Xu Yi was so hungry that he fell asleep. At this moment, he was so excited that he could swallow a cow.
Fortunately, in today's world, there are so many warriors, and they all eat in this way. Although Xu Yi's eating appearance is fierce and evil, it is not surprising.
The owner of the shop is not afraid of pot-bellied men. The fat shopkeeper, whose body is as round as a meat ball, has already taken root in the gold coins on Xu Yi's table. He is afraid that he will eat less and will have to find a lot of them later.
When I saw him finishing his meal, I approached him diligently and asked him.
"Let's take another seat."
Eating is one of Xu Yi's few hobbies. Just now he ate it to satisfy his appetite. Now, he has to eat it slowly to satisfy his appetite.
The fat shopkeeper quickly removed the table and changed the table. After the table was reset, Xu Yi really stopped eating and savored it slowly.
Not long after, several more tables of guests arrived one after another. Most of them were strong men with guns and swords. They occupied the tables and chairs in groups of twos and threes. They slapped the tables loudly and scolded the store owner for serving wine and meat quickly.
The fat shopkeeper is able to operate in this important place, so he is a well-rounded person. He is flattering and scolding the waiter like a chicken or a dog to serve the food quickly.
Xu Yi frowned slightly, but remained calm after all. He hoped to collect some useful information while the group was chatting.
Unexpectedly, he did not cause trouble, but trouble came to find him. When An Ran was eating and drinking, a fat and strong man with thick beard and hair sat down opposite him, picked up the gold coins on the table and said, "Red gold coins, tsk tsk."
, I was willing to take out this treasure for a meal in this thatched cottage in the wilderness. I am very generous. But I am afraid that I will embarrass the store owner. How can I get gold coins for this shabby store? It doesn’t matter if I meet him
You're lucky, I don't care about this meal, you can just eat whatever you want!" After that, he turned around and left.
"Ah ha, you're inviting me to dinner, why are you taking my money? Stop!"
Xu Yi stood up and hurriedly chased after him, "I only have five gold coins left. Take one. How can I make a living along the way? Give it back to me quickly, lest I report it to the Yamen and make your ass explode." He staggered after him.
Then he reached out to grab the fat and strong man. The fat and strong man raised his arm slightly, and Xu Yi fell out and hit the ground. He rubbed his buttocks and whined endlessly.
The fat shopkeeper hurriedly bowed, apologized everywhere, and hurriedly came to help Xu Yi. In fact, he shouted "Amitabha, God bless you" in his heart. Later, these people did not know the background of this white-faced scholar, but he saw this person dismounted.
He was so free and unrestrained, and he was able to eat mountains and seas with ease. He knew that this man must be a warrior, but at this moment he did not argue with the fat and strong man, which made it clear that he had his thoughts in mind.
Although he had to find out what was going on, the fat shopkeeper never thought of interfering with the situation. He just hoped that the two sides would not start a fight here. Even if they had some wine and meat, he would accept it.
Xu Yi shook his head slightly, causing everyone to burst into laughter and even whisper with malicious intent. Xu Yi could clearly hear that they were trying to get his so-called other four gold coins.
This is a strategic location after all, with people coming and going all the time. Those who have their thoughts in mind don't dare to act openly and only make secret plans.
Not long after, everyone's attention turned to the wine and meat market. They were shouting and shouting, and then what Xu Yi wanted to hear was told out.
He acted patiently, but he didn't want to tear down everyone's drinking place, just to hear some news. After all, the impact of the battle at Canglong Mountain was definitely not small.
