Chapter 7 Drinking rice wine is a beautiful thing.

"I don't dare to do it, I don't dare to do it." I saw The big man wearing a hat at the head stood up hastily and sang to Chen Qingzhi.

"Let Young Hero know that the humble name Wang Shun is the owner of the Zhao Family Village, fifteen miles north of this place. Because he learned a few sticks when he was young, the master raised it, and it was a fluke. This time, I was ordered to send some seasonal fresh loquats to Yanzhou for sale.”

“Apart from some self-protection knives, guns and sticks, the only valuable things are probably these baskets of fruits. ."

He stretched out his hand and pointed to the seven or eight bamboo baskets that were half a person high at the feet of the confession table.

The escort walks out all year round, doing the business of edge of a knife licking blood. They are all people who are used to dealing with bandits and water bandits. You can count on a few with moral bottom line.

If the employer is really wealthy and doesn't have the strength to match it, they don't mind the occasional guest appearance as a robber. Anyway, long-distance business is very risky these days, and accidents on the road are very common.

This man has traveled through the rivers and lakes in his early years, and he has heard of this, and it is reasonable to be wary now.

"Big Brother Wang misunderstood. We also walked for a long time. Seeing that noon was approaching, we wanted to find a place to rest for a while. We happened to know that there was an abandoned temple nearby. Brothers, take a break."

"Besides, everyone is earning some hard-earned money for running errands. You don't have a lot of money, do you have one?"

Chen Qingzhi smiled wryly Shaking the empty cuffs.

Chen Qingzhi didn't believe a word of Wang Shun's words, but since the other party had no intention of revealing his intentions, he couldn't just rely on preconceived guesses to yell at people.

What I can do now is nothing but eight words—counter soldiers with arms, and water with earth weir.

Seeing that the young man was always humble and didn't reach out and slap the smiling face, Wang Shun seemed to put down his guard and put his hand back on his head in embarrassment.

"It's not in the way, it's not in the way. It's not easy for everyone to run and live these days. It's really good to have a good rest at noon. They all say that it's fate to meet each other. Otherwise, I will give you some loquats to quench your thirst. How?"

After saying that, Wang Shun opened a bamboo basket, took out a few fruit from Huang Chengcheng's basket, and handed it to the boy.

"Loquat, where can I eat loquat, we haven't tasted it for about a year, eldest nephew, let the old man taste it first."

Who Without waiting for Chen Qingzhi to hold out hands to receive, a man with five shorts and three thicks suddenly jumped out from the side and took the loquats in Wang Shun's hands without a word. This man was Meng Dafu who had been reprimanded by Huang Qihu in the morning.

Efficiently peeled off the thin layer of skin on the loquat. Before Chen Qingzhi could stop him, Meng Dafu seemed to be impatient to put the pulp into his mouth, and the juice was overflowing.

"It's good, it's delicious, nephew, do you want one?"

Meng Dafu turned his back to Wang Shun's entire group, gave Chen Qingzhi a look, and signaled The fruit in his hand has not been touched.

No one would have imagined that Meng Dafu, who looks wide and fat on the surface, and who speaks openly, is actually the only one in the entire group who is good at using darts with poison.

Just now, Chen Qingzhi tried to eat loquats before Chen Qingzhi, but he also suspected that the other party was putting medicine in the fruit.

In fact, even if he doesn't do anything, with Chen Qingzhi's experience in medicine and medicine in his previous life, coupled with the characteristics of Youthful True Qi Hundred Venoms Immunity, there are few poisons in this world that can bring him down.

"You man, you are too impatient. We're not stingy. How many fruits will I be short of?" Before he could react, he felt that he was empty, and Wang Shun didn't know whether to cry or laugh.

Just as he was about to go to the basket to fetch it, Chen Qingzhi took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed it into his hand, "This is forty cents, and I'll ask Big Brother Wang to sell five jins of money with him. I want to share with the brothers to quench their thirst."

"Good to say, good to say!" He felt the heavy weight of the copper coins in his hand, Wang Shun's eyes lit up, his mouth was polite, and the act of collecting the money in hand But it didn't slow down in the slightest.

At the same time, he didn't forget to greet his brothers, "Baoshan, Tie Niu, please give Little Brother Chen a loquat fruit."

"Okay," Immediately there were two The man stood up in response, one took out the steel scale from the rucksack, and the other put the fruit on the scale clumsily with his hands and feet, "Three catties and six taels... five catties and two taels... five catties and one..."

"Don't count by one, two, two, and a few more, and let us decide to give it to Chen brother!" Wang Shun couldn't stand it any longer, and slapped Tie Niu's head with a slap.

At this time, Huang Qihu had already instructed everyone to unload the mule cart and go into the house to rest. Chen Qingzhi troubled the other party to give the fruit one after another to his subordinates to disperse. As for himself, he only cut off the got two.

I did a rough inspection of the skin of the loquat and found no traces of pinholes. The teenager peeled the skin with confidence and stuffed the pulp into his mouth. Immediately, he felt sweet and delicious, and his lips and teeth lingered. all in the stomach.

Just as he was hesitating whether to buy a few more pounds as a snack on the road, Chen Qingzhi's ears moved, but he heard a wave of vain and slow footsteps approaching from the outside of the temple, and at the same time, a shout sounded——

"Sell the wine, homemade rice wine—"

Immediately, the atmosphere in the small temple seemed to change, everyone had put their hands on their weapons, and even Chen Qingzhi noticed it If it's wrong, how can these escorts who have been in the rivers and lakes for a long time not notice the difference.

Not to mention where did the restaurant come from in this wild country ridge, and they don't come early or late, but they pass by when they are resting. Do you think there is any problem?

Even Wang Shun, the loquat sellers, were a little nervous and took out a stick and a pole and placed it in his hand.

"Someone wants to sell two taels... What are you doing? The old man has no spare money to spend with you." Stepping into the temple, I suddenly saw a ten-twenty big man holding a knife and stick and looking at him with a look of alertness.

I was startled immediately, and the two heavy barrels of rice wine on my shoulders almost spilled.

The person who came was hunched over his back, his hair and beard were all half-white, his face was so deep that wrinkles could almost catch a mosquito, he looked like an old man in his early fifties, and his footsteps were also weak. It looks like he has a kung fu.

Looking outside the temple, it doesn't look like there is a strongman in hiding. Everyone relaxes and puts away their weapons.

"You youngsters are really Seven Apertures Exquisite Heart. The old man's family lives in the Xu Family Village not far away. Knowing that there is a caravan here, he brews some rice wine. Exchange some copper money with them to subsidize the family, but I don't want to be guarded by you."

Hearing the reason why everyone was so wary, the old man raised his head and laughed.

"Since you don't believe me, let the old man drink a bowl for you to see first." After saying this, he actually took off the pole and poured himself a bowl first, "The degree is neither too high nor too low. Drinking more rice wine is a good thing!"

Brothers, overslept in the afternoon, and now I'm only reluctantly rushing out a watch, so sorry, I owe a watch tomorrow, see For the sake of our sincerity, it's not too much to ask for a ticket, 夘嘤~
