The spring rain is as precious as oil, and it rains all over the street. If you fall down, you will kill a group of cows.
Walking in a small town, Chen Mo held an oil-paper umbrella. The other side of the umbrella was tilted more towards Yan Yu to prevent her from getting wet in the gentle drizzle.
This limerick was sung by a child on the roadside.
The rainwater as thin as a hair will be rejected by the oil umbrella after the umbrella area is reduced to a large amount, and it will not be allowed to cling to it. Even if it is struggling, it cannot change the tragic fate of dripping to the ground. Oh, maybe you are lucky enough to fall into it.
Pedestrian's shoulders.
The road in the town was wet. After crossing a stone arch bridge, the two of them chose to rest in a small shop in front of them to avoid the increasingly heavy rain.
Yan Yu put down her bamboo bookcase, which Chen Mo made when she met a bamboo forest on the road. It was used to put her luggage and the rabbit that she didn't want to hold or eat.
Sitting on the bench under the shed, Chen Mo helped her dry the clothes around her feet, patted her dangling feet, and tied them up for her.
The proprietress was lying on the counter, listening to the patter of rain outside, and fell asleep without seeing the arriving customers.
When Chen Mo bent over, Yan Yu helped him pat some rainwater on his shoulders and hair, and asked: "Didn't you say that Dao Tu Temple is here? Why don't you seem to be in no hurry at all?"
"Do you want to see those bald heads?"
"What kind of bald head? I heard that there is a holy land of Buddhism. If you catch anyone, they will be enlightened monks. Don't be so rude when the time comes. Do you know that?" Yan Yu said.
After Chen Mo finished everything, he shouted: "Lady Boss."
The proprietress who was sleeping soundly at the counter was startled. She recovered and looked at the customers sitting down. She immediately adjusted her makeup, showed a smile on her face, walked over and asked, "Young man and little girl."
, what do you want to eat?”
"Two bowls of wontons."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
This shop is not big, and judging from how hands-on the proprietress is, she is probably the only one.
"Oh, it seems that the Tang State is no different from the Chu State." After the novelty wore off, Yan Yu sighed and said, "But the girls here have very nice clothes, I want to buy one too."
"I didn't stop you either."
"Let me tell you why you are so serious."
"I'm talking too."
While the two were bickering, the landlady had already made the wontons and sat down at their table without leaving after delivering the wontons.
"Where did the young master come from?" the landlady said in a friendly tone.
"Chu." Chen Mo replied truthfully. There is no need to hide it here. Shang and Chu were at odds with each other, but Tang and Chu were at peace with each other.
The two countries of Tang and Chu were separated by a river. It was not easy for the two countries to fight. But now, there is land connecting the two countries, which is the road that Chen Mo walked before.
"Ah, that's really a rare visitor." The landlady was also surprised. He thought he was coming from the south of Tang State. "Young Master, are you here to seek refuge? Didn't I hear that they don't take the husband there?"
"It's just that I won't fight for the time being."
"What the young master said makes sense. If there is no fighting here, there will probably be a fight on the other side. It is us common people who will suffer." The landlady sighed and continued: "Then the young master is going on a study tour for his studies?"
The boss lady saw the bamboo box next to Yan Yu. Generally, scholars like to carry this thing, or bring a book boy with them and let him carry it. But I have never seen one with a female book boy. Maybe it is a young lady? Boss lady
This is my guess, because those scholars all like younger women. It is probably because the scholar was afraid that it would not be safe to leave it at home, so he took it with him, which really made this young lady suffer.
But this scholar looked too much like a scholar, but he had a similar temperament to the pig butcher in my family.
"Aunt, do you think he looks like a scholar?" Yan Yu said with a smile.
"This..." The landlady couldn't answer for a while. She said he was, a little bit against his will. Or if he wasn't, what if the young master broke the table when he was unhappy? Just when she was about to answer against his will,
The little girl who asked the question spoke first.
"He is a martial artist who only knows how to wield swords and guns."
"I'm hungry because I know martial arts. The world is so chaotic. If you want to go out for a walk, you can't save your life without losing your skills." The boss's wife immediately followed the little girl's words.
At this time, another customer came to the store. They didn't hold an umbrella. They walked along the eaves. After entering, they found a seat and sat down carelessly. They slapped their weapons on the table and said:
"Boss, three bowls of wontons, big ones."
"Okay." The lady boss ordered something directly without going over to take care of those people. She seemed to be a regular customer.
Chen Mo had already eaten more than half of it, and there was still a lot in Yan Yu's bowl, so he urged him.
"You have thick skin and are not afraid of being burned. Mine can't compare to yours." Yan Yu rolled his eyes at him, scooped up some with a spoon, put it to his mouth and blew it vigorously, moving even slower than before, deliberately going against Chen Mo.
the other side of the shop
"Lao Ma, where is that guy Lao Gen? The sword studio in this district is about to open in a few days. The famous sword meeting is held every five years. He doesn't want to go and see it?" A man said angrily.
"Look? You've been running around all these years. You don't know how hard Lao He has worked. In the past few years, after the failure of the last martial arts competition, I have also been studying my sword skills crazily. In recent years, I have rarely
Seeing him, just like you, we only see him a few times a year, and we are the only two brothers living here." The man named Lao Ma said, and from what he meant, the other one of the three was his brother, I guess.
The one who asked the question was a good brother, and they were probably talking about another brother.
Lao Ma continued: "I forgot to tell you. Three years ago, he said that he met an expert and guided him for a while. I don't know if he has made any progress now."
"Master, don't meet a liar."
"I don't know whether he is a liar or not. I only know that his originally poor family is gone and his wife has taken her children and ran away with others." Lao Ma sighed for that brother.
"Then it's better not to look for him. The last time we participated, we had to recognize the sword, which made him go crazy like this. If we participate again this time and lose again, we might end up in Tianhe." The man pointed to the small river next to him.
"Then shall we three brothers go?" Lao Ma asked.
"I think it should be like this, so as not to ruin his family and make him feel guilty."
"You three, your wontons." The proprietress brought them hot wontons, then moved the tray to the side to block a dirty hand, and said: "I have grown up, I dare to attack your sister-in-law.
Have you become more capable and ignored your eldest brother? Why did my man raise a guy like you who eats both inside and outside?"
"Useless thing." The man hit his stupid hand hard with his other hand, and quickly apologized: "Sister-in-law, I really didn't mean it. My brother's kindness in raising me is shameless.
It’s unforgettable, but after spending so many years outside, this hand has become a natural habit.”
"Hey, you've teased a lot of decent girls, you idiot." The landlady spat at him, then turned around and left angrily.
"No, no, the girls I flirt with are all seductresses. You and I agree. I am by no means a shameless person." The man said to the back of the landlady.
After hearing this, the landlady threw the tray towards the man with her backhand. Fortunately, the man had some skills and caught the tray firmly, but his ears were quickly grabbed by the landlady.
"What do you mean, you're going round the corner and calling me one of those seductresses? Are you tired of living?"
"Don't, don't, don't, I was wrong, I was wrong." The man immediately begged for mercy. The mouth in his heart that hated himself made so many mistakes. "Otherwise, I will give you six bowls of wontons from three bowls."
"Nine bowls." The landlady said in a tone that did not allow for refutation.
"Okay, okay, nine bowls, nine bowls."
After the man agreed, the fragile ears were freed from the clutches, and the landlady left with satisfaction.
Without the customers, the landlady returned to Chen Mo's table. Yan Yu gave her a thumbs up while eating wontons and said in a straight voice: "You are a hero among women!"
"Although I like to hear this, I won't give you a free meal." The landlady said with her chest raised.
"Madam boss, do you know each other?" Yan Yu asked.
"Yes, they are all from a small town. They grew up playing with my man. I was also a famous beauty in the small town..."
"Cough cough cough."
The three men had just taken a bite when they suddenly coughed, as if they had been choked.
"You three have any objections?" the landlady said gloomily to the three of them.
"What's wrong? We didn't do anything. It's just that the wontons are too hot. If you're not careful, you might get burned." The man who had suffered a loss quickly explained.
The landlady turned her attention back and said: "At first, the five of them were chasing me very hard, but the three of them and the one who didn't come, looked like they were wandering around, so I didn't catch my eye. Fortunately, I picked the right one.
Men, otherwise if you choose one of them, you won’t be able to eat my wontons.”
"So, little girl, when choosing a man, you have to pick someone who is responsible. No matter how capable he is, he will cause trouble everywhere. Just two of them are enough. As for the other two, if one's wife runs away, the other one will live and drink.
They are not serious people."
Yan Yu nodded vigorously as if he had been taught something.
The men were full quickly. They slapped the money on the table and said, "When you're full, just leave the money here."
"I've eaten so much that I'm full. If I shoot so hard, will you guys accompany me if it breaks?" the boss's wife scolded.
Just as the three men were about to leave, Chen Mo suddenly stood up and said, "Brothers, how do you get to the Ou Family Sword Studio you mentioned?"
