MTL - Cultivation of Immortals Begins with Drilling Wood To Make Fire-Chapter 538 【Jinyi staff on the slider】

  Chapter 538 [Outside the brocade clothes on the slider]

   "The Zhao Chenghuang next to him..." Fang Chang recalled a little, and said with a smile: "I do know him, and we met once in the past, but he is not from the territory of Long'an Mansion."

   "Mr. Fang is right." Landlord Xie Guang'an said, "Although Zhao Chenghuang's jurisdiction does not belong to Long'an Mansion, it is next to mine, and there are no other jurisdictions between them, so it is convenient to travel."

  ...

  In the noisy market, there are many people coming and going.

  Some support the old and the young, some are alone; some carry bamboo baskets, some carry poles on their shoulders; All kinds of hawking, chatting, arguing, donkey neighing, noisy and disturbing.

  There are two young men in short shirts with open arms, walking in the market with a sliding pole on their shoulders.

  The body on the sliding pole is very wide, which makes the sliding pole bear more weight, and the bamboo poles on both sides of the chair are bent and creaking in a posture that usually does not appear. Fortunately, the two young men who carried the sliding poles had already adapted to this situation and handled it with ease. Their lips were tight, their bodies stood upright, and they walked slowly forward with a unified pace.

  Somewhat attracts attention, is that outside the brocade clothes sitting on the sliding pole, the right leg and foot are placed in an abnormal posture, which seems to be plagued by leg disease. There is a middle-aged butler next to him. He follows the sliding pole on foot. The speed of the sliding pole is not fast, so it is not difficult for him to follow closely.

   "Member, it will take half an hour to arrive. Do you want to find a place to rest for a while? Wait until the sun is not so strong." Said the butler next to him.

   "Okay." Jin Yi said, "Let's go to the front and find a teahouse to rest."

  Then the butler issued orders to tell the two young men carrying sliding poles to turn around. Because of the rich rewards, the butler is dedicated enough to work, and he has already memorized the road here.

   As a result, before walking a few steps, Jinyi Yuanwai suddenly called out to several people around him.

   "Huh? Stop, stop, stop first."

When the onlooker butler heard what he said, he immediately started yelling at the two hired workers who were carrying the sliding pole: "Stop, stop, stop first." The two young men stopped immediately, but they still stood upright, and then the butler He turned his head and looked at the Jinyi staff above, waiting for orders.

  The member hesitated for a while, but still raised his finger and pointed forward, and said to the people around him:

   "Over there, let's chase after it, please hurry up."

  The two hired workers who carried the sliding pole did not speak, but they immediately turned in a tacit understanding and walked forward.

  The reason why Jinyi Yuanwai had this reaction was because he had just seen a familiar figure.

  He was poor at the time, so he had no choice but to be a beggar on the street, pretending to have problems with his legs to beg for food. That kind of day is really completely endless, and my heart is always full of gloom, even if there is sunshine on the corner of the street anytime and anywhere. Even so, he has always had a small plan to save some money to open a small stall.

  For an old beggar, this is a "very lofty ideal", but he still has this tiny dream.

  Until one day, he met a man in white who came over and put a piece of silver in front of him. At that time, he once thought that he was going to work hard, but the other party just asked him if he saw a person with a rough face and a big mouth. Of course, the outsider saw very clearly at that time that the clothes were not people, but a white-haired monkey. For the sake of money, he told the truth.

  Later, he cleaned himself up and opened a small stall to sell some food. After that, his luck was always good, and he slowly saved his family business and prospered, and had children. Now he owns several shops, but, maybe because he pretended to be disabled and begged for too much money, his right leg was injured in an accident, which caused the root cause of the disease, so he always had to be carried on the road.

  He never forgot about the man in white who changed his life when he met him back then, but he never saw it again. Until just now, he suddenly saw a person diagonally opposite, dressed in white, carrying a long sword and wrapped in blue cloth, just like what he saw back then, so he immediately stared at him.

   Although Yuanwai Jinyi is not young, he has good eyesight and can see the face of the man in white. That's right, it's the same as the man back then, with the long sword, the package, the white coat, and the gourd around the waist, but he still hesitated, because after so many years, the man's face has not changed at all. Change.

   The sliding pole quickly chased towards the alley, only to find that there was no shadow of that person when he arrived!

   Sitting on a sliding pole outside the brocade clothes, he walked around the alley twice in disappointment, asked around, and even went into the Chenghuang Temple at the other end of the alley to look, but found nothing.

  He felt sad, so he said to the butler, "Forget it, let's go to the tavern in the west of the city."

  The steward asked curiously: "Who is Yuanwai you are looking for? Also, are you not going to visit Zhao Yuanwai's house?"

  Jinyi Yuanwai shook his head: "It's just a benefactor from the past. I haven't seen you again for so many years. Maybe it's just a lack of fate. Zhao Yuanwai's house is not going. Today makes people feel a little sad. Go to a bar."

  The housekeeper does not hesitate to implement the decisions made by other members. He is very professional in this respect.

  So the sliding pole creaked and went westward towards the city.

There were quite a lot of people in the tavern, so it was very noisy. Seeing the Jinyi staff coming in, the tavern manager immediately came out from behind the counter, went up to him and said, "Mr. Guo, you are here, please come inside, the table by the window is reserved...today To eat or to drink?"

   It turns out that this tavern also doubles as a canteen.

This Guo Yuanwai is a frequent visitor here, he greeted the housekeeper and the two young men who carried the sliders to sit down together, and then greeted the shopkeeper: "Today, I want to drink first and then eat. As usual, you can order whatever you want for dinner." , as long as it’s not dumplings.”

"That's natural, Mr. Guo will wait for a while." The shopkeeper naturally remembered the preferences of regular customers. He immediately cut up a plate of meat, filled it with a plate of heavy salt boiled vegetables and a plate of braised tofu, and bought 20 cents of cheap wine Serve it.

  The housekeeper poured wine for several people, and then waited for Guo Yuan to move his chopsticks outside before picking up the chopsticks to eat and drink together.

  The two hired workers who carried the sliding pole next to them were very happy to see the wine and drinking, but they dared not drink too much for fear of making mistakes. Guo Yuanwai was not surprised by this at all, not to mention that he was in a bad mood and just drank and ate meat on his own.

  Drinking down his stomach, Guo Yuanwai soon talked more.

  The shopkeeper next to me just brought a few bowls of noodles and put them on the table. Guo Yuanwai looked at it, sighed suddenly, held the wine glass, and said to the butler half sighing and half talking to himself: "I have lived such a long time, and I am very convinced of one sentence. I can't forget my origin, so whoever treats me There was kindness, I always remember it clearly."

   Thank you xmage for your reward.
