Slow and immortal

Chapter 79

Chapter 78

Today, it is March in the ancient Thai mainland, when the grass grows and the warblers fly; everywhere is full of greenery, and there is a beautiful scenery among the green mountains and green waters.In such a pleasant season, many pawns, merchants, and literati choose to go out at this time, transporting goods or going out to enjoy flowers.So every year at this time, you can see many carriages and passers-by on the official road outside Yancheng from time to time.

It was noon that day, and a young man was driving a carriage alone, and was idling along the official road.He stopped to have a look along the way, looking very comfortable, and the most peculiar thing was that there was a fat and big cat lying beside him.This fat cat lay lazily beside the young man and occasionally opened its eyes. It seemed to be filled with all kinds of irritability, and it looked very fierce.

This person, a cat, and a carriage were about to enter the Yancheng Chengguan, when the young man suddenly saw a small tea shop not far from the Chengguan, he smiled and said to the fat cat, "It's been such a long journey. , Ah Hua, you are thirsty too, how about we sit over there and take a rest?"

After finishing speaking, he drove the horse and headed towards the tea shop. The fat cat, or maybe it should be called the saber-toothed leopard, jumped up and stepped on the young man's leg: "Xiao Yao! I said you should not go too far! How can you still eat if you have been eating for a long time? Why don’t you hurry up? After going to your hometown, go back to the cave! I don’t want to hang out like this!”

The young man looked at it with a smile on his face, and squinted his eyes: "I told you not to have such a vivid expression when transmitting the sound, so as not to make outsiders suspicious. Since you are looking for a breakthrough in the world of mortals, you should naturally act like a normal person. Only then can we truly integrate into the world. Alright, don’t talk nonsense, we’ve arrived at the tea shop, let’s come down.”

This ordinary-faced young man was exactly Xiao Yao who had changed her appearance and went on a trip. She parked the carriage aside, hugged a saber-toothed leopard that looked like a cat, and sat down at an empty table.

It was noon at this time, and it was very close to Yancheng Chengguan. The business in the small tea shop was booming, and almost every table was filled with people.But the waiter in the tea shop was very nimble, seeing Xiao Yao sitting down, put a plate of steamed buns in his hand and hurried over, wiped the table and asked with a smile on his face: "This guest officer, do you want to drink tea or to fight? Although our shop is small, there are still some simple stuffs such as soup noodles and steamed buns."

After hearing this, Xiao Yao took out a few copper coins from her sleeve and spread them on the table: "Please have a pot of tea that can quench your thirst, and a bowl of noodle soup."

Xiao Er suddenly smiled and swept the money into his front pocket, flung the rag back and shouted, "Okay, there's a pot of chrysanthemum tea and a bowl of clear soup noodles!"

It didn't take long for Xiao Er to go down to Zhang Luo, a pot of hot tea and a bowl of steaming noodle soup were placed on Xiao Yao's table

"Guest officer, please use it slowly."

Xiao Yao picked up the bamboo chopsticks, feeling a long-lost intimacy, and tasted the hot and chewy noodles. She recalled that after her mother passed away, living with her grandma was difficult, and her only wish every day was to hope that grandma could take her Go to Wang Mazi at the entrance of the village to eat a bowl of hot noodle soup.At that time, a small bowl of noodles was all the happiness in her life.

Seeing Xiaoyao eating a bowl of noodles so cheerfully, Saber Tooth Leopard couldn't help squinting. Although cultivators occasionally eat, it's just to satisfy their appetite, not really necessary.But the noodles in front of me didn't look delicious at all.

"I really admire you, you can eat this pig food so deliciously."

Ignoring its teasing, Xiao Yao pushed the teapot in front of it: "If you want, you can drink tea to satisfy your hunger."

"I don't want it!"

The saber-toothed leopard slapped its paw on the table in excitement, and this action attracted the attention of the next table. Why did this cat come to the table?

Seeing that he was being watched by everyone for a moment, it awkwardly pretended to retract its paws on the table, gave a small "meow" to indicate that it was an ordinary cat, and then angrily lay on Xiao Yao's lap and refused to look up again.

Seeing it asking for trouble and looking deflated, Xiao Yao was very happy in her heart, with a smile on her eyes, she lowered her head and ate the noodles even more deliciously.

But at this moment, another carriage came from the official road, and the driver was a burly middle-aged man. When he came to the teahouse, he stopped the horse with a "wow".Then a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl got out of the car first. After she got out of the car, she flicked the dust off her body, then opened the curtain, and helped a young woman with a beautiful face who was pregnant with Liujia out of the carriage.

As soon as the two of them got off the carriage, the strong man spread his hands at the woman impatiently and said, "Silver."

The woman sighed slightly, took out a piece of silver from her embroidered pouch and handed it to him.The strong man bit it with his mouth to confirm that it was true, then he put it away in satisfaction, and said to her: "Don't blame me for charging you more money, this is a rule set by the Qian family, and no one has the guts to violate it."

After finishing speaking, the strong man drove the carriage again and drove away to the inner city of Yancheng.

"lady……"

The girl on the other side seemed to want to say something, but was stopped by the woman's hand, "Just now I was a little flustered in the carriage, please help me to rest in the tea shop and have a sip of tea."

The people of Yancheng in the tea shop, when they saw the young woman walking towards the tea shop, their expressions changed and they turned their faces away.At this time, the seats in the tea shop were already full, and there were no empty tables.If there are still vacant seats at the table around you, seeing that woman wants to share the table, they all waved their hands in fear and said: "Mrs. What should I do if I know it!"

In the end, the woman searched around, and her gaze stayed on Xiao Yao, and there was only this place in the whole tea shop that she hadn't tried.She forced a smile on her tired face and came to Xiao Yao's table and asked: "Master, do you mind if my family joins us in setting up a table together?"

From the time the woman got out of the car until now, Xiao Yao has seen everything that happened, but she is a monk who is not good at interfering in ordinary affairs, so she pretended not to see it, but now someone else is asking for it, out of a Naturally, she would not reject the kind thoughts that people should have.

"It's okay, I'm the only one here, madam, please feel free."

A trace of gratitude flashed across the woman's tired expression, she was supported by the girl to sit down and said: "Thank you, sir."

As soon as she sat down, the girl took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat from her forehead, and said as she wiped, "Madam, I'll order a pot of tea for you."

"Good Cuiping, thank you for your hard work."

The woman smiled slightly at the girl, and after she finished speaking, her breathing was a little short, and she supported her forehead with her tired hands.The girl named Cuiping hurriedly turned her head to call the little second: "Little brother, can you serve us a pot of tea?"

"No! Even if there is this place, I won't sell your tea. Letting you sit down is already showing mercy."

Xiao Er, who had treated Xiao Yao with enthusiasm just now, now hid away with a look of fear and disgust, and quickly waved his hand to signal not to bother him.

Cuiping saw that his wife was so weak, and the store refused to sell them tea, tears welled up in his eyes.

At this moment, a sharp hand pushed the teapot on the table towards them.

"If madam doesn't mind, I'll let you have this pot of tea. I haven't drunk it yet."

The woman raised her eyes and saw the warm eyes of the man in front of her, with a kind smile on her lips, her eyes were reddened, and she choked up and whispered: "Thank you, my lord..."

Cuiping also bowed gratefully to Xiaoyao, and then filled a bowl of tea for the woman.The woman seemed to be very thirsty, she drank three tea bowls in a row, and then she breathed a sigh of relief, then she gently touched her swollen abdomen and said softly to herself: "My child, mother has survived again."

The smile of the woman in front of her made Xiao Yao think of her mother who had passed away, and she always looked at herself with such gentle eyes, adding clothes and vegetables for herself, always saying in her mouth: "Yaoer, mother's good Yao Son, grow up quickly, and when you grow up, you will be able to see the great world outside with your mother."

It's a pity that my mother died of illness when she was less than 40 years old, and she never had the opportunity to go out to see the great world outside...

"Madam! Don't you want to rest for a while? Your body..."

Xiao Yao was lost in her own thoughts when she was suddenly interrupted by Cuiping's exclamation. Looking up, the woman had already stood up. Although her face was slightly tired, she still said: "It's okay. , My child and I can still hold on, let's go back quickly, mother is still waiting at home alone."

"But Ma'am is still a long way from Jiang's Mansion, I'm afraid..." The little girl's eyes turned red when she said this.

"Where is Madam going, I also want to go to Yancheng, I can give Madam a ride."

Xiao Yao drank the last bit of noodle soup, wiped her mouth, hugged the fat cat, the sabre-toothed leopard, and pointed to the carriage parked beside her with the other.

"Really?" Before the woman could respond, Cuiping cried out in surprise, bowing to her with joy and gratitude, "Then there will be Mr. Lao."

"Cuiping, don't mess around! How can we implicate the young master?"

After teaching her maid, the lady frowned and frowned slightly at Xiao Yao, blessing her body slightly and said, "My lord, don't listen to this little girl's nonsense. If you want to enter Yancheng, it's better not to bother about us two. The young master is causing big trouble."

Seeing the woman's troubled face, Xiao Yao looked around at the frightened faces in the tea shop, "It's okay, I'm just passing through this Yancheng, not staying here, and I will send my wife to you later." After returning to the mansion, I will leave. It is just on the way, Madam can rest assured that it will not cause any serious trouble to you."

When the woman heard that he was still willing to help, she couldn't help being surprised and raised her head to look at the man in front of her carefully again.Seeing that although his appearance is very ordinary, his smile is very gentle, and thinking that since her husband died, no one has ever cared about her, the circles of her eyes began to turn slightly red.Glancing at the man again, seeing that he was still patiently waiting for his answer, he couldn't help but feel hot on his face, then nodded and said:

"If the young master is really not afraid of trouble, then there will be Mr. Lao."
