Exquisite ingenuity

Chapter 316

The steaming hot food was served, and it looked delicious, and the pot of wine exuded a tempting aroma in the cold night.

Su Yi, Zhao Jinyi and Cai Yi sat at a table and ate simple noodle soup.

Wei Qi and Dafu Erfu opened up to eat and drink.

The shopkeeper's clerk waited attentively on the sidelines, handing out clean towels when his hands were tired, and the roasted mutton couldn't tear off the teeth, so he helped to cut it off with a knife.

After drinking for three rounds, Wei Qi was slightly drunk, pulled the waiter and said: "The wine and food in your store are really good! I will talk about it for you tomorrow!"

The clerk smiled awkwardly: "As long as the guest officer likes it."

Naturally, Wei Qi wasn't really drunk, but just pretended.He could see that the guy was a little nervous.

A group of people had enough to eat and drink, and went to the backyard lively.Several big men live in one room, and three girls live in one room, all of which are servants.

The shopkeeper chased after him with a lantern, and said courteously: "Our servant's house has everything you need, and it is bigger and cleaner than other houses. By the way, guests just stay here, and if there is anything, just order the waiter .”

Wei Qi responded heartily: "I used to like to go to Hedong the most, people are warm and hospitable!"

The buddy quickly pulled out a smile: "Then the guest officer will come more in the future."

Zhao Jinyi watched coldly from the sidelines. Seeing the shopkeeper's face full of smiles, he turned and left with the lantern in hand.

There are two beds in the lower room, Su Yi naturally occupies one, and Zhao Jinyi and Cai Yi squeeze one.

Caiyi observed her words and demeanor along the way, and she had already seen that Suyi seemed to be very annoyed with the fourth sister, but she liked the fourth sister, so she had to pull Zhao Jinyi in everything.

Caiyi brought hot water diligently, and asked Zhao Jinyi to wash his face first.

Su Yi said coldly at the side: "I advise you not to wash it. I don't have the time to embarrass you anymore."

Zhao Jinyi's face was gentle: "Caiyi, wash it yourself, don't worry about me. I'll just wash my feet later."

Caiyi was a little puzzled, but looking at Suyi's face, she didn't dare to speak any more.

Su Yi lay reclined on the bed, watching Zhao Jinyi carefully take off the pair of high-soled boots that her master asked her to buy at the rich family's home in the village the night before.Seeing that Zhao Jinyi was careful and cherished those boots in his movements, he couldn't help but sneered in his heart.This Zhao Jinyi was very scheming, he kept saying that he had a fiancé, he didn't bother to cling to his master, he played hard to get him in front of everyone, and he acted pure and innocent, but in fact, he was flattering and caring for the things the master gave him?Su Yi was even more convinced that her contempt for Zhao Jinyi was not wrong.She, Zhao Jinyi, the daughter of a small official family, also wants to climb up to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?dream!

Caiyi looked at Zhao Jinyi's boots with envy.Ever since she could remember, she had never worn a decent pair of shoes, they were either open, half broken, or working barefoot.

Now she was sold by A Niang, and A Niang finally reluctantly gave her a pair of old cloth shoes.

Just as she was watching enviously, she suddenly saw Zhao Jinyi waving at her: "Caiyi, bring my baggage."

Caiyi obediently carried the burden for the fourth sister.

I saw Zhao Jinyi opened the furring cloth and took out a pair of high-soled boots from it.

Not only Caiyi's eyes widened, but even Suyi's face tensed up.Zhao Jinyi still has a pair of boots?Is she selling miserably in front of the master?Sure enough, she was right about Zhao Jinyi, Zhao Jinyi's scheming, only she knows clearly!

Zhao Jinyi handed the boots to Caiyi, and said with a smile: "Suyi gave me a pair of boots before, but unfortunately the size is not suitable, and they are a little pinched. I see you wearing them, they should be suitable, so I will give them to you. I The pair I'm wearing now was bought for me by the Commander. The size is suitable and comfortable to wear. The Commander has never been mistaken about the size. By the way, you have to thank Su Yi, and you have to thank Master Qi tomorrow. "

Caiyi held the boots, touched them excitedly, smiled like a flower, and said loudly to Su Yi: "Caiyi thank you, Sister Suyi!"

Su Yi moved her face away expressionlessly.

Caiyi happily tried on the boots, Suyi put down the curtain between the two beds after tidying up, and turned on the lamp to sleep.Caiyi heard it secretly: "Little Sis, Caiyi has never worn such good shoes!"

Zhao Jinyi... really annoying.

Caiyi hugged her boots and didn't dare to sleep all the way, she lay down on the wide and soft bed, but after a while she let out a thin snoring sound.Zhao Jinyi was half lying on the bed, listening to the movement outside.Although Wei Qi didn't discuss it with her, she could see that Wei Qi's decision to live in this inn had ulterior motives.

What will it be like when we go to Mount Xitai tomorrow?
It was quiet outside, only the lanterns swaying gently under the eaves.

In the middle of the night, Dafu's roar suddenly sounded in the yard: "Shopkeeper, get out!"

As soon as the words fell, Zhao Jinyi heard someone next door groaning in pain.

Caiyi was startled awake, she rubbed her eyes and asked Zhao Jinyi: "Little Sis, what happened?"

A lantern swayed, and the inn clerk from just now rushed in in a panic wearing a coat: "Guest officer, what's the matter, guest officer?"

"What's wrong?" Dafu was furious, "Didn't your shopkeeper swear that the food is clean? My master and my brother are both suffering from abdominal pain and suffering!"

The guy forced a smile: "Impossible, impossible, do you think you are all right? I will invite the shopkeeper here."

Dafu didn't let him go: "Is it useful to call your shopkeeper? Why don't you take us to Xiantong Temple and find some great monk to prescribe medicine!"

The buddy hesitated: "This great monk is not seen by everyone..."

Dafu waved his fist like a hammer at him: "Human life is at stake, can you see me! My master is also unlucky, trusting you so much, living in your shop, but still suffering so much! If my master If there are any pros and cons, it will not be enough to pay ten of your dogs' lives!"

The clerk was so frightened that he shuddered like a chaff, and he yelled: "I won't lie to you, only our shopkeeper knows the great monk of Xiantong Temple! Besides, it's so dark and the mountain road is rough. fell down the mountain..."

Su Yi rushed out the door, with her hips crossed: "My younger brother is always in good health. He has traveled all over the years and has never had any accidents. When he came to your black shop, he was poisoned. Why don't you quickly lead us up the mountain?"

The shopkeeper ran over with a lantern in a panic, sweating profusely: "Don't worry, guests, don't worry, let's go to the car. But... let me listen to the old man, the guests eat at the same table. Meals, drinking a pot of wine together, why they have something to do, but you are not, there must be some mystery!"

Zhao Jinyi couldn't help curling his lips into a smile.It turned out to be waiting here.

Dafu roared: "What a mystery, I'm almost dead!" He said and waved his fist again.

The shopkeeper took two steps back, and said in a sharp voice: "You don't know, this Master Foguang of Xiantong Temple is the reincarnation of the Buddha, with boundless magic power, and he only saves those who are destined. Surprised."

"There is such a thing?" Dafu really looked at the shopkeeper with some doubts.

But Su Yi said: "You speak so well, why is your inn closed and deserted? I think you are the one who needs to be saved the most."

The shopkeeper waved his hands again and again: "I'm just a helper handpicked by Master Fo Guang."

Dafu said: "Why don't you take us up the mountain quickly to meet Master Foguang?"

The shopkeeper said: "Then all guest officials must strictly abide by the principle of three nos, so that the old man can lead the guest officials up the mountain."

"What principle?"

"One is not to see, the other is not to listen, and the third is not to speak."

The panic-stricken clerk appeared behind the shopkeeper with a black cloth in his hands: "Please trouble the officers, cover your eyes with the cloth."

It's too risky!
