Chapter 31: The debut
Tang Diexian and Liang Yan fought fiercely all night and felt exhausted when they returned to the inn. Liang Yan first went to the woodshed to make a bed, and then went to Tang Diexian's room to make a bed on the floor. He also called him "Loyal Protector". However, Tang Diexian was not angry either. The two of them went back to their respective beds and fell asleep.
I slept until about three o'clock in the morning. In his sleep, Liang Yan suddenly felt his cheeks itching. He leisurely opened his eyes, only to see a big-faced cat with pure white fur looking at him with wide eyes. . He was stunned for a moment, and seemed a little confused about the situation.
So there was a man and a cat, face to face, nose to nose, big eyes staring at each other.
Suddenly he heard a chuckle coming from behind the big-faced cat. Liang Yan looked back and saw Tang Diexian holding the white cat's belly with both hands and bringing the white cat's big face to his eyes. . He couldn't help but smile and said: "Where did you get that big-faced cat?"
Tang Diexian raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I didn't find it, it jumped in front of our window by itself."
"Oh? Is there such a good thing?" Liang Yan licked his lips and said : "I used to go out a lot He is a master at cooking game meat and grilling meat. This big-faced cat is fat and fat, so it will be delicious when grilled!"
Tang Diexian quickly retracted his hand and held the white cat in his arms, huffing. Said: "Eat you big-headed devil, This is an inn. If you want to eat, don’t you order food in the lobby below?”
Liang Yan was just joking with her, but after hearing what she said, he felt a little hungry and said. : "The sky is huge and the Five Zang Temple is the largest. Let's go downstairs and order a few side dishes to taste before considering the next thing."
Tang Diexian naturally had no objection. After the two washed up, they went downstairs. Lou came to the hall. I saw several tables of people sitting in the hall, including a one-eyed young man, a man with a hawk-nosed nose, and a group of traveling vendors.
The one-eyed young man was sitting at a table alone. There was only a plate of peanuts and a pot of wine on the table, and he was drinking by himself. Moreover, the gaze in his one eye was cold, and he looked like he would not let strangers approach him.
As for the other hawk-nosed man, he was also at the table alone, but the food on the table was very rich. His face was leisurely, and he closed his eyes slightly after every glass of wine, savoring it carefully, and seemed to enjoy it very much.
Liang Yan glanced around the hall and did not find the cultivator appearing, so he took Tang Diexian and sat down at an empty table in the northwest corner. As soon as they sat down, they heard Min Rou shouting from behind the counter: "Tang Er, go and entertain Miss Tang. I'm so happy to serve you."
Someone in the background responded, and then a sallow-skinned man walked out. The man was about 27 or 28 years old. He seemed to have been ill for a long time and his complexion was extremely poor. Coughing as he walked, he came to Liang Yan and the two of them and said respectfully: "What do you want to order? We have our signature dishes."
"Okay." Liang Yan waved his hand to interrupt him and said: "Just two of your store's specialties."
"Okay! Wait a moment." Tang Er followed the instructions and slowly walked backstage.
Not long after, several plates of exquisite side dishes were brought to the table, as well as a pot of wine. Tang Er said that the wine was a gift from the landlady, and it was home-brewed. It was fragrant and not easy to get drunk.
Liang Yan nodded slightly. Although he didn't usually drink, the store owner was so kind this time that he filled a glass for himself and took a sip without caring about Tang Diexian.
Before the wine was in my throat, I suddenly heard a woman's voice outside the store: "The eighth day of the lunar month! The eighth day of the lunar month!"
The big man who was sitting lazily on Tang Diexian's shoulders The face cat suddenly raised its ears and jumped to the ground. Then it kicked off its hind legs and ran out of the store in three steps and two steps at a time. Its speed is completely unlike that of a fat cat.
There was a sound of "Ouch!" outside the store, followed by a burst of female giggles, "The little naughty boy is here!"
Liang Yan looked up and saw a fan walking into the door. The woman in clothes is about twenty years old, with a good figure and charming appearance. At this time, she was holding a fat white cat in her arms. The white cat was held in her chest, with its eyes narrowed and a lazy look.
The woman in palace attire entered the door. Her pair of wonderful eyes swept across the hall, then stopped at Liang Yan and looked up and down.
"Oh, I didn't expect that this place is in a remote place, surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is such a handsome young man." As he said this, he moved lightly and came to Liang Yan's table and sat next to him. Down.
Liang Yan frowned and moved away a little uncomfortable.
Instead of being annoyed, the woman in palace clothes said with a smile: "I didn't expect that I am quite shy, but my sister likes this dish of yours."
After a pause, she said, "I am usually the eighth day of the lunar month. She just loves to be naughty, and it seems that the young master took her in kindly before. In this way, it can be considered a fate between us."
Before Liang Yan spoke, Tang Diexian had an angry look on his face. He said: "Where did you come from? Why do you even seduce other people's servants?"
When the woman in palace clothes heard what she said so unpleasantly, there was no trace of anger on her face, she just chuckled. Said: "He is your servant, not your husband, why don't we just chat with him?"
"You" Tang Diexian was so anxious that he couldn't think of anything to say.
"Haha, sister, I'm just teasing you. The little girl Hua Shiniang, I haven't asked her her name yet."
Tang Diexian glanced at her and said angrily: "Tang Diexian." Hua Shiniang smiled. He said: "What a good name. It matches my sister's beautiful face." Then he pointed at Liang Yan and said: "Sister just helped you try this guy. Well, he is calm and he is a decent man. Oh, you can rest assured, sister."
Tang Diexian blushed and said anxiously: "Bah, bah, bah, what are you talking about? Who wants to entrust it to him? "
Hua Shiniang covered her mouth and smiled without saying much. She picked up the wine bottle in front of Liang Yan, took a sip from the spout, and sat down at another empty table. .
"You are not allowed to drink this!" Tang Diexian frowned and shouted at Liang Yan. As he spoke, he grabbed the wine bottle on the table and threw it towards the door.
Liang Yan smiled bitterly but had not yet spoken. I heard another "Ouch!" sound coming from outside the store, and then a fat waiter in a purple robe walked in.
His fingers are covered with emerald agate, and there is a thick gold chain hanging around his neck. His clothes are covered with golden copper coins, and even the collar of his clothes is outlined with gold threads. He is dressed in a rich and noble style. look.
But at this moment, his face and chest were covered with water. He was holding a wine bottle in his hand and shouted loudly: "Which blind thing dares to hit me?"
Liang Yan glanced at Tang Diexian and saw him sticking out his tongue, as if he had done something wrong. He could only shake his head slightly, stood up helplessly, cupped his hands toward the fat man and said: "The kid accidentally knocked over the wine bottle and hit the gentleman. I apologize to you here."
The fat man rolled his eyes and said, "Boy, are you bluffing me? Is this how you knock over a wine bottle? Can you fly dozens of meters and fly outside the store?"
Liang Yan He shrugged and said, "If you don't believe it, I can't help it. "
The fat man snorted coldly: "I believe you, huh! I can see that you are here specifically to entertain your uncle Wang, right?" He rolled up his sleeves and unexpectedly? He looked like he was going to fight if he disagreed.
At this moment, a man's voice was suddenly heard outside the store: "A rat has skin, but a human has no face! If a human has no face, what's the point of not dying?"
Everyone looked towards the door and saw a down-and-out scholar coming in. He was wearing a silk scarf and holding a folding fan. He was shaking his head and continuing to read: "A rat has teeth, but a man is shameless! A man is shameless. Why wait until he dies?" ”
The fat man frowned and turned around and said: "Sheng Luobi, who are you calling shameless?"
The down-and-out scholar laughed and said: "I call someone who smells like copper. What? You, a famous senior, are going to bully someone?" Not as good as the weak crown Young man, don't you feel ashamed, but feel proud of it? Hahaha, it's ridiculous, it's simply ridiculous!" After hearing this, the fat man said angrily: "Luo Bisheng, how can you be so good for your whole life? Fame, but Asking but not getting, trying again and again, failing again and again?”
After hearing this, the scholar named Luo Bisheng laughed and said: “It doesn’t matter if you ask for something and get it, or if you ask for something but you don’t get it, after all, it belongs to the scholar. How can some upstarts understand this? "
The fat man seemed to know that he was no match for the man in front of him in terms of bickering. He didn't continue the conversation. He just glared at him and ignored him, looking for someone alone in the store. Take a seat at an empty table.
Liang Yan thought to himself: "Although this scholar is full of nonsense, he saved himself a lot of trouble, so I'd like to thank him." Thinking of giving him a friendly smile, he nodded in greeting.
Unexpectedly, the writing student seemed to be ignoring him. He walked to Hua Shiniang's table, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "The so-called gentle ladies and gentlemen are so naughty. It would be boring for a girl to drink alone. Why? Why don't you have a drink and enjoy the beauty together?"
Hua Shiniang covered her mouth and giggled: "Young Master is a wonderful man, but he is just a little girl. But she is not a lady, I am afraid she will be too much for the young master.”
But Luo Bisheng seemed to be very happy, drank a glass to himself, and laughed: “Singing to wine, what a life!”
Liang Yan shook his head and walked back to his seat. Just as he was about to sit down, the ground suddenly trembled and he saw another person walking in at the door. This man was eight feet tall, with a chain as thick as a bench tied around his waist, and a large hammer hanging from the chain, which was being dragged on the ground, making a rumbling sound.
This man entered the store, glanced inside, and then walked straight to the table of the hawk-nosed man, and sat down opposite him with the big horse and golden sword. The two seemed to know each other, and they didn't speak. They just poured wine into their glasses. Started drinking heavily.
However, each of the people in the store was weirder than the last. By this time, Liang Yan was used to it. He shook his head, ignored them, and began to concentrate on enjoying the food in front of him.
Just when they had a full meal and were about to leave, Liang Yan suddenly changed his expression and glanced unnaturally outside the store.
I saw an old man in linen walking in front of the store, wearing a felt hat and straw sandals. There is an abacus hanging on the waist, and a bamboo pole is held in the hand. On the bamboo pole hangs a rag with the four characters "divine and clever calculation" written on it.
"The peak of the fourth level of Qi training!" Liang Yan narrowed his eyes.
