Legend of the Heroes of the Southern Kingdom

Chapter 252
Li Wenxuan couldn't stand the flattery, so he quickly stopped the guy and said, "Okay, okay, stop talking!"

The clerk in the shop seemed to be full of enthusiasm. When he praised Li Wenxuan, he was very happy, and he was much happier than Li Wenxuan who was praised. He continued: "...There is no one in the world who doesn't know, who doesn't know, if you can sit in the small shop, the small shop will immediately flourish, and the blessings will be endless."

Li Wenxuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, bent over to him and cupped his hands and said, "Don't you just want me to drink at your place? I really appreciate your kindness, but now I don't have any money on me, so I can't afford it, so forget it."

Li Wenxuan was about to leave again, but the waiter stopped him again, patted his chest and said, "It's a blessing for you, Mr. Li, to eat and drink in the shop. How can I collect money from you? You just eat and drink! Long time good meat It's enough, you don't have to pay a dime." As he spoke, he dragged Li Wenxuan to the wine shop.

Encountering such a good thing, Li Wenxuan was naturally very puzzled. He didn't intend to go in, but he could smell the aroma of wine, meat, and bursts of fragrant smoke from the cage from afar. Bai Yan's stomach growled, and his feet softened, and he followed the guy in.

As soon as Li Wenxuan sat down, the waiter brought Li Wenxuan more than two catties of cooked beef, two marinated pig's trotters, and a jar of old wine. Looking at the altar, I felt the aroma of the wine was intoxicating and beautiful, but I didn't expect that there would be such good wine in this small wine shop in the countryside.

Li Wenxuan originally wanted to decline, but seeing the delicious food and wine delivered to him at this moment, he happened to be hungry. The beef rotted as soon as it was pinched, the beef was delicious, the butter was refreshing, and the pig's trotters were even more chewy. Li Wenxuan couldn't enjoy eating it.

At first, Li Wenxuan also suspected that there were some weird tricks in his wine and meat, such as Mongolian sweat medicine, or some kind of messy poison. Is there any more powerful poison in it?Li Wenxuan relied on his talent and boldness, regardless of whether his wine and meat were poisonous, food was in front of him, he only knew that eating directly was the most important thing.

At this time, there were not many customers in the wine shop, and the guy was very leisurely, so he always waited beside Li Wenxuan. When Li Wenxuan drank a bowl of wine, he immediately filled it up. Later, seeing that Li Wenxuan drank too fast, So he took three wine bowls for Li Wenxuan to use in turn. When the pig's trotters were a little cold, he immediately replaced them with hot ones, just like honoring the God of Wealth.

It was the first time for Li Wenxuan to be treated so courteously, and it happened that he had nowhere to go and was penniless, so he felt very funny at the moment.

The wine and meat were almost eaten, the guy walked to the back hall, brought two more white flour steamed buns to Li Wenxuan, and said: "Master Li, try it, these are freshly steamed white flour steamed buns, very sweet !"

Li Wenxuan was already full, but his mouth was full of greasy food. Although it was delicious, his mouth was still a little dry. When he saw that the clerk brought over two steamed buns, he thought to himself that this person really knows how to do things. What's the matter, so I'm not polite, I squeezed a steamed bun and stuffed it into my mouth.

As soon as the steamed buns entered his mouth, Li Wenxuan silently praised them in his heart: "The steamed buns are really sweet. If I had money on me, I would have to buy a few and take them away. It's a pity that I'm poor now, and I'm already very sorry to eat for free. How can I carry it?"

Li Wenxuan sighed, took another bite, and felt that there was something in the heart of the steamed bun, like bad wood. He couldn't help but licked it with his tongue, but he knew that the taste was extremely bitter when he touched it. .

"Ah—cough cough!" Li Wenxuan let out a strange cry, spat out all the steamed buns that reached his mouth, leaned over the table and coughed non-stop.

The guy didn't seem to know that there was something weird in the steamed buns, and thought that Li Wenxuan was choking on eating too quickly, so he hurriedly poured out a bowl of water and handed it to Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan's mouth was bitter, seeing that clear water was delivered, he couldn't help but snatch it and send it to his mouth.

"Gudong—" After taking a sip of water, Li Wenxuan's mouth was originally bitter, and he expected to rinse his mouth with clear water, but the clear water was a bowl of very thick salt water, salty with bitterness, and bitter with astringency, what would Li Wenxuan do? He was really choked, and he coughed for a long time without saying a word, and even burst into tears. Seeing this, the mistress saw that something was wrong, so he didn't dare to talk too much.

Li Wenxuan had no choice but to rinse his mouth with the jar of fine wine. After tossing for a while, the taste in his mouth finally recovered.

After such a toss, Li Wenxuan's eyes were bloodshot, and he kicked the guy fiercely. Seeing that Li Wenxuan was going to get angry, the guy was afraid, and immediately leaned his back against the wall, not daring to move.

Li Wenxuan took the leftover half of the steamed bun in his hand, opened it, and saw a small handful of yellow wood whiskers wrapped in it, Li Wenxuan picked out the wood whiskers, put them in front of his nose and smelled them, it turned out This is a traditional Chinese medicine——Huanglian. This Huanglian is sweet and cold in nature, and tastes extremely bitter.

Li Wenxuan took the steamed bun wrapped with Huanglian, walked up to the waiter in two steps, and asked, "What do you mean! You invited me to dinner, I was very grateful to you, but why did you use this ginseng to bind Huanglian?" Come to me to eat the steamed buns, you just said that you don't want me to eat, I didn't intend to come in, but why are you playing me so sincerely!"

The guy was so anxious that half of his face was crooked, and he stammered, "I... I don't know, what's in this steamed bun, I didn't put it in."

After saying that, the boy picked out a piece from the steamed bun, tasted it, it was really painful, and he stuck out his tongue.

Li Wenxuan said angrily: "How about it, doesn't it taste good? You gave me the steamed bun. If you didn't put the stuff in it, wouldn't it be possible that the herb has feet and would get in by itself? And that bowl of salt water, you know that I was choked, but you still poured salt water on me, didn't you do it on purpose!"

Everything went wrong for Li Wenxuan today, and he was teased even after eating, so he couldn't help but waved his fist in front of the guy, who knew that the guy seemed very timid, so he immediately squatted on the ground and begged for mercy. : "Uncle Li, this thing is really not done by a small person. I have been very timid since I was a child, and I have never dared to do such a thing!"

Li Wenxuan originally wanted to complain about him a few more words, but seeing that this guy was already trembling after being frightened by him, a good-looking guy was so frightened that he was about to cry, his heart softened, and he couldn't bear to frighten him anymore He said, "That's all, I'll just pretend that you really don't know, a well-behaved big man is so timid, and wants to cry every now and then, what's the point of it?"

After Li Wenxuan finished speaking, he pulled the guy up with one hand, asked him to sit down beside him, and said, "Okay, I shouldn't have scared you just now, it was my fault, I will apologize to you!"

That guy had already lost his soul, Li Wenxuan said he would make amends to him, but he jumped up and bowed to Li Wenxuan repeatedly.

Li Wenxuan patted him on the shoulder, pushed him back on the stool and said, "Let me ask you, tell me honestly, how did you know my name, would you recognize me? Also, I don't have any money, Why do you want to entertain me with delicious food and drink, and entertain me, but in the end you want to tease me with the steamed buns with yellow lotus in it, and such thick salt water?"

The guy refused to say it before, but now that he was frightened by Li Wenxuan, he was honest and said, "It's all half an hour's worth. A girl ordered me to do it..."

"Girl?" Li Wenxuan asked in surprise.

The guy said again: "That's right, it's a girl. That girl gave me a few taels of silver, and said that as long as I entertain you with good wine and meat, and satisfy you, all the silver will belong to me."

Li Wenxuan said again: "Then how do you recognize me?"

The guy pointed to the Qingshuang Sword at Li Wenxuan's waist, and took out another page of paper from his pocket. There was a pattern on the paper, and the appearance of the Qingshuang Sword was drawn very precisely, as if it had been rubbed out , the guy said: "The girl gave me this pattern, and said that as long as someone with a sword on his waist looks like this, he will call him Li Wenxuan, Uncle Li, and she taught me to say those martial arts and romantic words." .”

Li Wenxuan felt that this matter looked weird no matter how you looked at it, and asked again: "The girl asked you to treat me well first, and then used these weird methods to punish me, didn't she?"

"Yeah." The guy nodded first, but then immediately shook his head like a rattle, and said, "No, no, that girl only ordered me to treat Mr. Li well, but she didn't say that I should use the That unrefined method is here to trouble you, besides, if you really do it like that, the little ones wouldn't dare."

What this guy said was a bit wicked, but Li Wenxuan still listened to most of it, and asked again: "What does that girl look like?"

The guy shook his head and said, "I don't know, she has been wearing a bamboo hat all the time!"

"Bamboo hat? So it's her?" Li Wenxuan jumped up suddenly, and muttered: "So it's that girl, I just accidentally touched him, why should he treat me like this...no...it's not right... "

Li Wenxuan looked at the rest of the food and drink he ate, and thought about what the guy said, and felt that something was wrong. If the girl hated him, she should go to the police to arrest her. Are you kidding me?Wouldn't that be boring?Besides, even though I touched that girl before, I never announced my name. How did he know that my name is Li Wenxuan?She just had a quick glance at Qingshuangjian, how could she draw the appearance of Qingshuangjian so quickly?Besides, since she was able to drop the steamed buns and add salt to the clear water without anyone noticing, I think her skill is not bad. From this point of view, it was not bad for me to catch her in the town before. Follow me That person must be her!
The more Li Wenxuan thought about it, the more chaotic his head became, he simply slapped his thigh, and thought: "Whatever! Look at today, this woman is afraid that I have a grudge against me. Even if I don't go to her, she will in the future." Come to me, I'll just wait for her carefully!"

After Li Wenxuan made up his mind, he apologized to the group. Anyway, he had already filled his belly, so he continued to move forward.

Li Wenxuan seemed to be looking around all the way along the way, but as long as his eyes were free, he kept staring behind him, wondering if he would see the woman wearing the bamboo hat again, but the way was always peaceful, and all the things along the way See, even people and horses are only a dozen or so in total. Where is the woman?

The sky was getting dark, and there happened to be another small town in front of him. Li Wenxuan was hungry and sleepy, and worried about his purse. You can't find an empty ancestral hall or ruined temple or something, just go in and hide for a night.

Li Wenxuan walked around and passed an inn. The name of this inn was very ingenious, and the four characters of "an inn" were written on the plaque.Although Li Wenxuan said that he didn't have money to stay in the inn, but seeing the interesting name of this inn, he couldn't help but stop and take a second look.

Li Wenxuan looked at the signboard of the inn, but there was a shopkeeper with a mustache at the door of the inn. He also looked at Li Wenxuan for a while, and then suddenly walked forward happily and said: "My dear guest, my dear guest, hurry up!" Please come in!"

Li Wenxuan thought it was funny, and said, "I'm sorry, I don't live in the store."

The shopkeeper saw Li Wenxuan's whole body, and said: "Oh, Mr. Li, you have been traveling all the way, and you are very tired. How can you not stay in the shop? In a small shop, wine and meat are ready-made, and hot water has already been given to you. It’s ready, tonight you, eat first, and then soak your feet comfortably before resting, I’ll teach you to work hard, it’s too comfortable!”

Li Wenxuan's heart trembled, and he thought: "It's strange, why does he call me Uncle Li, does he also know that I am Li Wenxuan? Is it the same thing as the waiter at the shop at noon?"

Li Wenxuan was interested immediately, but he didn't hurt him, and continued: "Shopkeeper, but I have a clean hand, and I don't have a big son on me, so I can't afford the rent."

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "You, Uncle Li, are world-class in martial arts, full of heroism, and wise all over the world—"

Li Wenxuan saw that what he said was exactly the same as that of the shop assistant, so he no longer doubted it, and concluded that he, like the assistant, had listened to the woman's explanation, so he interrupted him directly, and then continued: "More and more He is romantic and suave, and his appearance is better than Pan An... Who in the world doesn't know, who doesn't know, if I can stay in your inn for a night, your small shop will be full of brilliance and prosperity." Li Wenxuan said , slapped the shopkeeper heavily on the shoulder, and asked, "Am I right?"

The shopkeeper said in shock: "Yes! Yes! Yes! You... how do you know?"

Li Wenxuan continued: "I also know that someone paid me the rent, right?"

The shopkeeper nodded vigorously.

When Li Wenxuan saw this, he knew that it was the woman with the bamboo hat who was staring at him again. He felt that he had the marrow washing scripture beside him. He was not afraid of her with a bright sword and a bright spear, and he was not afraid of her when he poisoned people. If you can't pass, why not just follow the tricks and stay here with peace of mind, and see what kind of tricks she is up to?

So Li Wenxuan said again: "Because I am the Uncle Li you mentioned, Li Wenxuan?" Then he laughed and entered the inn.

Sure enough, the inn had already made arrangements, and it seemed that Li Wenxuan would definitely stay here. He reserved an upper room, and the inside was cleaned. The new mattresses, new quilts, benches, tables, and windowsills were all spotless. Someone had burned sandalwood here before, and there was a faint fragrance in the whole room, which made people smell very comfortable.

Li Wenxuan was not in a hurry to rest, opened the window, looked around the terrain, saw nothing unusual, went up to the roof, and checked the bricks and tiles on his roof one by one. After checking the traces of his hands and feet, Li Wenxuan really couldn't see anything wrong, so he felt relieved for a while and went back to the house.

As soon as Li Wenxuan sat in this guest room, he shook his head again and again, thinking: "Does the woman wearing the hat really have a grudge against me? If there is a grudge, she should try to harm me and make me unhappy, but this room The arrangement in the movie is not enough to make people like it, how can it be used against enemies? Those who don’t know may think that I am her lover?”

Li Wenxuan laughed dumbfounded when he thought of this, and thought again: "No, if she wanted to be nice to me, she probably wouldn't torment me in the wine shop and make a fool of me. That woman is a weirdo. It's really weird. How strange!"

Li Wenxuan was thinking about it, the waiter at the inn had already brought food and drinks, Li Wenxuan was careful this time, no matter whether they were delicious or not, he poked them with chopsticks first, and then smelled them, and there was nothing unusual before eating .

Li Wenxuan is not afraid of being poisoned in the wine and meat, but what he is afraid of is that the woman will stuff him with some messy things in the food. Last time it was Huang Lian, it was terribly bitter. What if she gets some scorpions and centipedes this time? , but really too much.

When Li Wenxuan was eating, the waiter in the store was waiting outside the door the whole time, just like the guy at noon, he was very considerate in serving him, listening to the movement, seeing Li Wenxuan eating, he immediately brought in a pot of hot tea for Li Wenxuan, Let Li Wenxuan moisten his throat.After waiting for a while, seeing that the time was almost up, another basin of hot water for washing feet came up.

After walking for a day, Li Wenxuan's feet were already sore. When he saw this pot of hot water, he felt very happy. He couldn't help but feel that the woman in the bamboo hat treated him well, and everything was arranged so thoughtfully. Glad to accept it now.

The waiter in the shop waited for Li Wenxuan to finish the brew, then he packed everything for Li Wenxuan, brought him a pot of tea, closed the door for Li Wenxuan, and told Li Wenxuan to rest.
