Chapter 74

The miserable childhood life made them all understand that only in this way can they live a better life, and everything needs to be snatched and plundered with their own hands.

To become stronger, follow stronger bosses and big bosses, so that they can plunder more resources and become stronger.

But Yan Ji has never learned about the life experiences of these Black Mountain bandits, so he doesn't know about them.

He only felt that the thieves in Heishanzhai were all strong and fierce, and they didn't know what to eat to grow up.

And there are also people like Yan Ji who take the initiative to serve the Black Mountain Village, but only a few, such as Yu Jiu.

Some of them are forced to do so, and some of them want to practice stronger martial arts and martial arts to become stronger.

At this time, four waiters came over with a large square plate, on which were placed three large jars of steaming wine, exuding the fragrance of wine.

Then Xiao Er struggled to pick up one table and one jar, and put them on the three tables.

The middle-aged shopkeeper pointed at the wine with a smile and said: "Guest officer, your wine is already warm. This is the best wine in our Ruyi Inn. It is made from the red snake fruit in the mountain and the jade valley from Qingyang County. made and then stored for several years in the cellar.

"This wine is called Snake Jade Wine, and it is very powerful. I see that the guests should all be martial arts practitioners. They are strong and strong. This wine is very suitable for strong men like you."

At this time, Sun Xiaozuo had already returned with the broken silver, and finally he accepted the kindness of the woman in the pink skirt.

"My lord, this snake jade wine is indeed the best wine in Ruyi Inn." Sun Xiaozuo echoed from the side.

Yan Ji glanced at the warm snake jade wine on the table, but did not move.

"Boss, this subordinate has tried it, and the wine should not be poisonous." After a while, Guo Qi came over and whispered in Yan Ji's ear.

The middle-aged shopkeeper faintly heard the content, and his face was slightly embarrassed.

Yan Ji nodded slightly, but still didn't drink.

The big boss of his own family didn't intend to use it, so naturally all the Black Mountain thieves didn't dare to do it.

The atmosphere was somewhat silent, and the middle-aged shopkeeper seemed restless.

Finally, after nearly a quarter of an hour, Xiao Er came up with a plate of dishes exuding a peculiar aroma, and placed it in front of Yan Ji.

Yan Ji took a closer look and saw that the plate was decorated with fresh green leaves all around, and in the middle was a dark spherical object, like a spider's eyeball.

The eyeballs were covered with soup, which was steaming hot and fragrant.

"Guest officer, please look, this is the high-quality ingredients I said recently, a strange eyeball, I bought it for five taels of silver.

"I only bought two in total. I originally planned to buy them for myself to strengthen my body, but since a distinguished guest like you came to the door, I took out one to entertain the guest officials."

The middle-aged shopkeeper pointed to the eyeballs on the plate and introduced.

"Ghost eyeballs? Are there a lot of ghosts near you? How can you even buy such things in an inn like yours? Also, I heard from Sun Xiaozuo that a batch of ghosts will be auctioned at the black market auction in two months' time?"

Yan Ji glanced at the eyeballs on the plate and asked.

Even the five people who were eating at the side looked over quietly, a little curious.

Sensing everyone's gaze, the middle-aged shopkeeper thought for a while before speaking calmly:
"Guest officer, you don't know anything about this, and you don't know what's going on. In recent months, there have been many spirits and monsters in the nearby mountains, almost all over the mountains.

"Each of these spirits has eight eyes, and some even have eight legs, just like spiders, but unlike spiders, these spirits have strange faces, and there are all kinds of creatures. Like monkeys, cats, dogs, leopards, foxes, and even human-like ones.

"At the beginning, everyone was taken aback. Even the herb collectors and woodcutters who cut firewood did not dare to enter the mountain. It was not until the development of Black Crocodile City was affected that the city lord sent several warriors into the mountain to investigate the reason.

"In the end, although I didn't find the reason, I found that these spirits are violent, with little wisdom, and their strength is very weak, as if they were just born not long ago, and adults who have just become warriors can deal with a dozen of them by themselves.

"Even a dozen or so adult strong men who have practiced martial arts for many years can go hunting in the mountains and harvest several ghost corpses.

"Even if some are slightly stronger, they will be beheaded by those powerful warriors. Because of this, the corpses of black crocodile city monsters are flooded. Ordinary people like us can buy a small part as long as they have money. Come back and try something new."

When the middle-aged shopkeeper made a statement, the waiter at the inn had gradually prepared all three tables of dishes.

The other dishes are not as weird as this strange eyeball, they are all chicken, duck and fish, as well as some unique poultry and dishes in this world.

A table is a dozen dishes.

"Okay, guest officer, your dishes are all served, please take your time. If you don't have enough, you can let the back kitchen continue to cook." After the middle-aged shopkeeper finished speaking, he was about to leave and return to the counter.

Yan Ji pressed his shoulders, and said with a cracked smile: "Shopkeeper Hao, don't rush away, Yan can't finish eating such a big table, I think it's getting late, shopkeeper Hao, you probably haven't eaten yet How about we eat together?"

The middle-aged shopkeeper surnamed Hao looked at Yan Ji's irresistible smile, fell silent for a while, and then was easily pushed back on the stool by Yan Ji.

Shopkeeper Hao squeezed out a smile, "Guest officer, I'm actually not hungry."

"Not hungry? You have to eat if you're not hungry! And Sun Xiaozuo, sit down and eat together too!" The smile on Yan Ji's face disappeared, and his expression gradually turned cold.

Seeing Yan Ji's eyes, the two of them couldn't help feeling excited.

A group of Black Mountain thieves also stood up one after another, raised their weapons, and looked at shopkeeper Hao with a gloomy expression.

Although they don't understand what's going on, but the tone of their boss has changed, so there must be something wrong.

Seeing this, the woman in the pink skirt wanted to get up and say something, but was held down by the determined middle-aged man.

The woman in the pink skirt looked at the middle-aged man, and the middle-aged man shook his head slightly at her, so the woman in the pink skirt could only stuff food into her mouth angrily.

"Ha...ha, sir, you are afraid that the food may be poisonous, right? Don't worry, this is a serious inn, not a black shop. I'll just eat it for you."

The shopkeeper forced a laugh, then picked up the chopsticks and ate every dish including the eyeball under Yan Ji's gaze, and poured out the wine and took a sip.

"Guest officer, is this okay?" Shopkeeper Hao looked at Yan Ji and asked.

Yan Ji stared at shopkeeper Hao for a while, a trace of doubt flashed in his eyes, and then he slowly let go of his hand on his shoulder.

A group of Black Mountain thieves also sat down, but they did not put down their weapons.

Shopkeeper Hao looked relieved, and hurried back behind the counter.
