Liao Zhai's Refining God

Chapter 204 Gathering
"Xiao Yi, don't talk nonsense!" The woman's expression changed.

The young man seemed to realize something, his expression changed immediately, he lowered his head and hurried to work, ignoring Wang Lin.

"Haha. Do as the Romans do, I'll just drink a glass of water!" Wang Lin walked into the hotel with a smile.

The hotel is not big, with more than a dozen simple tables and chairs. At this time, there are already four people inside. They look like traveling merchants in their attire. The four are around 40 to [-] years old. They are strong and strong. There is a cloth bag.

Seeing Wang Lin coming in, these people had a look of joy on their faces. It was obvious that they were also waiting for someone to gather before leaving.

"Bring me two jugs of wine and two special dishes." Wang Lin put the bookcase against the wall and greeted the young man just now.

"Okay!" The waiter in the shop was very happy when he heard it, and greeted him warmly.This is a distinguished guest, unlike those traveling merchants who drank a pot of tea for most of the day.

Two jugs of small wine were served soon, and Wang Lin tasted it. The wine was mediocre, but the two small dishes were good, especially a stack of fried peanuts.

"The scholar, have a glass of wine in the small shop first, and leave soon after everyone gathers!" At the door, Wang Lin heard the same words from the woman again, and knew that another scholar had come.

"Okay!" The scholar didn't refuse, and walked in directly.Glancing around, he sat down nearer to Wang Lin, and asked the waiter for a pot of tea.

This scholar is about seventeen or eighteen years old, wearing a coarse long gown, carrying a simple bookcase, his face is a little immature, and there is a hint of excitement.At this time, it may be that I was a little thirsty after walking, and I drank a pot of water in one breath after sitting down.

Wang Lin speculated that he might be a new scholar who had just passed the exam, and it was his first time traveling away from home to study, so there was excitement in the novelty.

"You two guests, have a glass of wine in the small shop first, and leave soon after everyone gathers!" At this time, Wang Lin heard the woman at the door greet the guests again, this time with awe in her words.

"Junior Sister, let's have a glass of wine here before going on the road!" A man said.

"Okay!" Then I heard a woman's answer.

It was not long, and there were two people entering the door, a man and a woman. The man was about twenty, seven or eight years old, and the woman was only seventeen or eighteen years old.The man was carrying a bundle on his back and a steel knife in his hand, and the woman had a long sword hanging from her waist.

After the man and woman entered the store, they looked around. The man straightened his body, a sharp look flashed in his eyes, and an invisible power shot out from his body. Judging from his attire and movements, he should be a martial arts figure.

"A high-ranking martial artist!" Wang Lin said inwardly to scan the man's blood with a little Qi Watching Technique.That girl is an intermediate martial artist, she may have practiced martial arts since she was a child, but she has a very good figure. Although her complexion is not very white, she is very good-looking, and her appearance is considered to be upper-middle class.

But Wang Lin's dharma gods are more beautiful than the other ones, and they are full of immortality. They are already immune to the beauty of women, so they don't care. They just take a look and taste the wine leisurely.The scholar who was closest to Wang Lin took a blank look, then suddenly blushed and lowered his head.

This action happened to be seen by the woman, but the woman didn't care, and even showed a sweet smile towards the slightly shy scholar.

Wang Lin speculated that scholars might rarely see women dressed like this. In this world, women from wealthy families hide in deep boudoir, and occasionally go out to meet people wearing long skirts.The women of the farmers' families often work, they are unkempt, and they wear coarse linen clothes, which cover their colors.

And this woman is wearing a light green dress, the dress is quite tight, which outlines her exquisite figure, and is lightly applied with makeup. Naturally, she is different from ordinary women, so she looks a bit better; A scholar who went out to practice.

"Hmph!" The accompanying man was rather displeased and snorted heavily.Not only to warn the scholar, but also to warn the four traveling merchants. They could hardly hide their covetous eyes on this woman, and a gleam of desire burst out from their eyes from time to time.

"Guest officers, it's almost time, and there are enough people, you can go on your way." Half an hour later, the woman at the door came in to greet her.At this time, on the avenue outside the door, a 50- to [-]-year-old man was riding a donkey at the door.

The four traveling merchants walked out first, followed by the scholar, and finally the two martial artists. Wang Lin followed casually and walked out of the shop.

"Everyone, has anyone ever walked through this Long Snake Ridge?" After walking out of the door, one of the four traveling merchants cupped his hands towards the crowd.

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads or keeping silent, he immediately cleared his throat and said, "The four of us are doing business, and we have to walk this road many times a year. This ridge is about a hundred miles long. , You need to go until tomorrow evening to pass."

"What do you want to say, don't talk too much. Since we are on the same road, we are destined. Even if there are bandits on the mountain, I will keep you safe. It is the duty of my generation of warriors to be chivalrous." The warrior proudly raised his chest.After speaking, he deliberately glanced at the woman beside him.

"Are there really bandits on the mountain? I have practiced for so many years, but I have never really fought anyone. Brother, you can't rob me this time." The woman suddenly cheered.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, I'll take care of you, you can use it to your heart's content, and Senior Brother will take care of everything for you." The man took the opportunity to say.

"You two heroes, listen to the villain. There are no bandits in this mountain, but there are." The man wanted to say something, but he seemed to be holding back, so he quickly stopped and said, "Anyway, listen to me Don’t talk at night, if someone asks, ‘You can see my child, you can only say you didn’t see it, don’t talk too much, so that you can cross the mountain safely’.”

"It's boring, it's boring, there are no bandits." The girl said in a rather boring way when she heard the footman say that.

"What did you see? Where did the child come from? If you don't finish talking, you're just entertaining me. What's going on?" the man suddenly got annoyed.

"Hero, it's not that the villain doesn't want to say it, but because he has taboos and dare not say it. If your lord has a lot, don't embarrass the villain." The peddler said with a bitter face.They have been walking this way for so many years, and they have never walked with warriors. Today, this matter is a bit out of control.

"Hmph, with just a steel knife in my hand, I can't go anywhere in this world." The warrior said with a strong body.

"Hero, if you say that, I'm afraid the four of you, the villain brothers, can only rest here for one night today, and we'll go on the road tomorrow when we gather nine people together." The traveler said with a bitter face.

"Why do you have to gather nine people?" Not only Wang Lin, but everyone in fact had this doubt in their hearts, but Wang Lin and others didn't ask.

"Senior brother!" The warrior wanted to show his experience of walking the rivers and lakes in front of his junior sister, and force the merchant to tell the reason, but when he saw his junior sister blinking at him, he immediately understood that his junior sister wanted to follow them to find out.Immediately stopped talking.
