As early summer approaches, the green mountains are stroking in the warm sunshine. The paved mountain roads in Yanshan are covered with yellow mud. The pack horses carrying mountain goods are led slowly down the mountain in the hands of merchants and traveling.

Knowing and knowing...

The cicadas were chirping in the mountains, and the sound of copper bells came from the stone road at the foot of the mountain. The pedestrians and vendors were passing by a young man with cloud pattern and white robe, leading a mottled old donkey and walking slowly, and there was a blind old man behind him.

It is probably speculated that some young master from the foot of the mountain brought his old servant to travel around the mountains and rivers. After only a few glances, he stopped looking at it.

"Master, let's take a break. I've been away for an hour. I'm afraid that your body will not be able to bear it."

Wang Banxia followed and said in a low voice behind the donkey, wiped the sweat stains on his face, raised his fingers and pointed to the small door of the bookshelf, and quickly added.

"The master can't stand it either."

"You can talk." In the compartment, the Toad Taoist was wearing a short shirt, holding a small sack and rubbing his wet face with a small sack finger. The compartment was stuffy and the body temperature of the old donkey was a little stuffy inside.

He picked up the cigarette pole and knocked on the small door, and used the Dharma tone to shout: "Liangsheng, find a place to rest for a while, I am thirsty for my teacher."

Humph ~~

The old donkey tilted his neck, as if mocking him, sneezed, and followed the owner ahead and happier, shaking bookshelf shaking around its buttocks.

After a moment, he reached out and patted the old donkey's head with one hand. Lu Liangsheng, who was walking in front, turned his face: "What kind of donkey's temper, go well!"

Then, he also replied to the master's words.

"There is a tea stall in front of me. I went to drink a bowl of herbal tea to rest, so my master could have some breathing."

"Yes, I see... Bah, I heard it!" Wang Banzai listened with his toes on his toes. In the sound of footsteps traveling back and forth between the mountain roads, more than ten feet in front of him, someone could hear the excitement of yelling and the business travelers shouting for tea.

When the two of them passed by, a table of guests happened to settle the bill. The guy wiped the table and saw the scholar and the old man placing the donkey. He happily came out to greet him, helped to move the bookshelf and put it next to the table that had just left.

"Two guests, sit inside, sit inside, this stall is very thirsty with jujube and herbal tea. There are also cold cakes, garlic and white meat, which tastes good, and side dishes include green onion tofu and green bean soup, which all relieve fatigue on the way. Both of them ordered a serving to taste fresh."

Lu Liangsheng invited Wang Banxia to sit down, sit on one side at will, open the bookshelf, take out the master inside, and put it on the table.

"Okay, I'll ask for one."

On the other side, seeing a big toad in a divination tracing the corner of the table, the guy was stunned. Wang Banzai pushed him slightly, nodded and chuckled.

"My man, go and do it, don't be too weird."

"Hey."

The guy looked away, responded twice, wrote down the dishes, said that he would give the old man who had set up a stove in a corner, helping to pass on the firewood, and lowered his voice and whisper:

"Dad, you said that these rich young men took the lead in pretending to be elegant and even brought a toad, and didn't look scary. Such a big man would wear clothes on him, which was really strange."

"Talk too much."

Behind the stove, the old man threw a bean shell and smashed it on his son's head. He brought two bowls of herbal tea to the scholar's table. He put Lu Liangsheng first, and then put the second bowl on the blind old man.

Lu Liangsheng naturally heard what the guy said, afraid of disturbing the other party's business, so he took the tea with a smile and said, "Old man, I wonder if I am a toad that disturbs the customers in the store?"

"Haha, the guest is so concerned, no, don't you? Have a safe time drinking tea and eating vegetables!"

The old man smiled cheerfully, "I have been setting up a stall here for 30 or 40 years. I haven't seen anything before. Only that kid is fussing. Don't mind it. It's true."

Lu Liangsheng also laughed, bowed to him, and turned around to the other three tables.

"Well, some people like to walk dogs and pick birds at this time. I like toads more, so I hope you don't blame me."

Most of the three tables of guests there were passers-by vendors. People who traveled around the world were knowledgeable. It was not surprising that a big toad was lying on the table.

Someone laughed back and said:

"It's okay, the world is vast, and when we meet in a shed, who doesn't give it convenience, right? Young Master, you eat yours and we eat ours, who stipulates that the toad cannot be served on the table? Hahaha!"

This made people laugh around. On the table, the toad Taoist who was plated into pieces rolled up his eyes and crawled to the edge of the bowl and drank herbal tea.

"Oh, that toad actually rolled his eyes!" "Can you still crawl to drink water by yourself, young master, are you selling this toad? I bought it for two hundred dollars."

“……Four hundred!”

"I'll give you one or two! The toad is meant to attract wealth, hundreds of words, you're so embarrassed to take action!"

The tea shed was joking, which made the toad Taoist almost choke in a mouthful of water. He bulged his eyes and stared at the group of rough men. He was so angry that he dared to tease me...

Lu Liangsheng knew that these people were just talking and engaging in the atmosphere. He responded casually. The food there was also ready, so he brought it up one by one and hurriedly picked up a chopstick of white meat dipped in sauce for the master.

On the other side of the stove, the old man who had rested wiped his hands, sat down aside, pounded his legs and looked at the person who was joking in the tea shop. Wrinkles piled up on his face, and then started to laugh.

"It's not unusual toast, but it's strange to have such a big toad. If I had a hundred taels, I would be willing to buy it."

A table of guests took a sip of herbal tea, put it on the table and said with a smile:

"Old man, did you say this?"

"It's not easy for wild animals to grow so big, it's so psychic." The old man said, put away his legs and asked his friend to take a bowl of water and drink it.

"How could you travel around the world not know this truth? I told you that there are spiritual objects in this mountain, but unfortunately most people can't see it."

Lu Liangsheng, who was eating, stopped chopsticks, raised his face, and smiled: "Shopkeeper, what does that spiritual thing look like? Have you seen it?"

The guests on the three tables were also attracted by the old man. They were all people who were exploring outside. Listening to these strange things is the most awesome.

"Yes, tell us." "What does that spirit creature look like? But wild beasts become spirits?"

"Is it just a beauty? Haha!"

The old man drank all the cold water, got up and put it on the stove, shook his head and smiled: "What kind of beauty, that's a snake. I've been setting up a stall here for many years. Have you heard the strange things you've said around you?"

"Strange thing?" Someone thought about it and slapped the table. "When I went up the mountain, I heard from the village at the foot of the mountain that there was a big snake in this mountain with a long body, a tail at the top of the mountain, and a head at the foot of the mountain. Isn't it? "

"Yes! It's this snake!" The old man walked past the stove and came to the middle of a few tables of people. He was intrigued, pinching his beard tips, squinting his eyes as if he was recalling.

"You don't know. They just heard that I saw it with my own eyes. I didn't say it was as long as I did. But it was only more than ten feet long. The sun shone down. Oh, the white scales were so white that the person could not open his eyes. In a flash, he disappeared."

The breeze blew over the mountain road, and the light spots of the swaying old pine fell into the tea shop. Lu Liangsheng held the tea bowl and placed it beside his mouth, closed his eyes and listened quietly to the old man's story.
