Immortal Sword Pavilion

Chapter 8

Although the weather in August is not as cloudy and cloudy as in June and July, there will be showers, but the heat is still unbearable.

Because of this, the popularity of the post stations has become quite hot, even in the remote Mangku Mountains.

At this moment, in front of the Mangku Post Station connecting Jiangxia Plain, under the five pergolas, three of them are already full of people.

There are rivers and lakes tycoons coming and going, as well as mountain villagers and traveling merchants passing through the market.

The shopkeeper called three or four waiters to take out the special mountain plum herbal tea from the cool water storage place, and gave it to the passing passengers. The business was quite good, and the shopkeeper, who was always stingy, couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

"It's been nearly two months since we heard of tigers harming people in the mountains. It seems that there will be a good harvest before the end of autumn."

Looking at the so-called gangsters who occupy the shade and drink big bowls and eat meat, the shopkeeper wondered if he was collecting more wild goods from those mountain people.

At that time, the shopkeeper, who was watching all directions and never let any passing passenger go, suddenly saw two young men, one big and one small, walking slowly on the mountain road at the end of the post station.

One of them has a heroic appearance, a handsome man with a long sword on his back. He is about 16 years old and looks good.

"San'er, go get two bowls of herbal tea." The shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly greeted a rather clever young man.

"Well." The second child named San'er is the shopkeeper's nephew, and when he saw the direction the shopkeeper was pointing, he immediately understood.

These days, the best business to do is nothing more than those young knights who have just come out of the rivers and lakes.

Don't talk about the generosity of the shot, I often ask for a few words, and there are other rewards. It's a relative uncle. I only hope that when the time comes, I will get a reward from the guests and save more for him.

"You two young heroes, the weather is hot today, how about taking a rest here, our shop provides high-quality special herbal tea for free."

Seeing the two teenagers walking towards him, San'er happily walked over and yelled loudly.

"Take a break?" Hearing Xiao Er's shout, Zhou Yu looked at Lin Zheng who was following behind him, and saw that he was sweating profusely, looking blankly at this moment, his forehead seemed to nod with difficulty.

"Then rest." Zhou Yu felt relieved when he caught this scene.

It is not in vain that he has adjusted his breath many times in the mountains. At this moment, he felt that his body was struggling, but he responded like an ordinary person after all.

"Xiaoer, here are two bowls of sour powder, two catties of stewed pork, and a sliced ​​cucumber and two hot and sour side dishes."

Stepping into the pergola, drinking a bowl of sour and delicious camellia tea, smelling the fragrance not far away, and seeing Lin Zheng licking the bottom of the empty bowl, Zhou Yu suddenly laughed loudly.

"Okay, here it is for you." Looking at the silver ingots that Zhou Yu threw on the table casually, Xiao Er, who estimated that there were three taels, was overjoyed, and said hastily while putting away the silver ingots.

"Drink it slowly, little brother. We still have herbal tea for free." After San'er finished speaking, he first brought a pot of herbal tea and put it on the table, then hurried to the back kitchen to prepare meals.

Zhou Yu poured another bowl for Lin Zheng, and tasted some himself. It tasted a bit like sour plum soup. Drinking a bowl in the scorching heat of summer is refreshing and refreshing.

As for free, it involves the shopkeeper's business experience.

The post station is close to the mountains and forests, plums are available even if there is no shortage of water, and it is easy to make. Although it takes some time and effort, the travelers in the past are tired from traveling in hot weather. Drinking water alone is not as good as eating to earn money.

Free herbal tea, appetizers eat more, and it is easy to win favors. After all, the post station is located in a remote place, and it is also afraid of evildoers.

Besides, it is not easy to obtain meat in the store, so we give tea to those Orion mountain people who come and go, firstly, to help each other, and secondly, we can also be a little tactful when collecting meat materials.

But generally speaking, when the shopkeeper spent all his time making money, he still had kindness in his heart.

After all, most of the people who drink and eat meat in the store are not mountain people living in poverty.

Soon, following Xiao Er's nimble actions, the food Zhou Yu ordered was brought to the dining table. Looking at Lin Zheng who was drooling instinctively, he didn't stop him, and the two started moving quickly.

However, Lin Zheng's wisdom had just begun to recover. When eating, he used his hands to grab food, which only caused a few chuckles.

"Brother Jun, look at how talented you are. Why is your brother like this? Is he slightly injured? This mountain road is difficult to walk, and there are many wolves and beasts. If you share some food, I can escort you one or two." The greedy Orion, smelling the aroma and seeing the young man's face, joked.

"You idiot, you want to take this opportunity to eat and drink. Isn't this mountain plum tea enough for you?" San'er scolded with a smile, and the latter grinned and didn't say anything more.

"I'm sorry, although Big Brother Wang talked too much, but he has a good heart."

"It's okay." Zhou Yu nodded.

Half an hour later, the two of Zhou Yu were full of wine and food, spent some money, and added some dry food, then took Lin Zheng to leave the post station and headed south.

But not long after the two left, the face of the station manager changed.

In a certain shed, there were two people from the rivers and lakes standing up, their eyes seemed to casually glance at the direction where Zhou Yu and the two were leaving, and then they left quickly.

Although their actions are secretive, the shopkeeper has been running the station for many years, people come and go, he doesn't make much money, but his eyesight is not bad.

"Uncle?" At this time, the younger brother San'er came over and said in a low voice, and looked at the two leaving Jianghu people, obviously also saw some clues.

"Don't go, this is not your business." The shopkeeper's face changed, and he sternly warned.

"But?" San'er thought of the demented boy.

"Your father is only your son, don't try to be a hero." The shopkeeper said sharply, his voice was extremely low, lest others would find out.

"I'll take the path and go faster. I'm sure I'll be fine. I won't force myself. If something happens to those two teenagers, I can help them bury their corpses. I can't let them die in the wilderness." San'er suddenly clutched his stomach and said loudly shouted.

"Shopkeeper, my stomach hurts, I'll be back later." Then, he grabbed some toilet paper and ran towards the bushes not far behind the arbor.

"This bastard bastard." The shopkeeper scolded angrily, "I know you lazy bastard, if you don't come back within a stick of incense, I will deduct your wages."

……

"Wait...wait." On the post road, Zhou Yu and Lin Zheng walked with their heads behind their backs, when suddenly there was a panting voice behind them.

"It's you?" Zhou Yu turned around, and saw the waiter named San'er from the previous store running towards him out of breath, and when he saw him turn around, he couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, holding his waist and exhaling.

"Second brother, why did you come all this way?" Zhou Yu was a little surprised.

"Yes...someone might try to harm you, hurry up...run away?" San'er said hastily after getting down.

"Who wants to harm us, and where do you want us to go when you come?" Zhou Yu was thoughtful.

I think it's because I pretended to be heroic to spend three taels of silver, which made some people move their minds.
