C49 A Roadside Shop

These bars and tea houses usually serve tea and food for free. Qin Xin also prepared buns, buns, fruits, and other rations for the pedestrians. She could not help but be overjoyed. With a cheerful cry, she pulled Du Qi and ran down the hill without caring about anything else.

When the two of them got close, they discovered a tree with tangled roots. The branches and leaves were thick and several dozen zhang tall. A dozen people might not even be able to wrap their arms around this huge banyan tree and stand in front of a rock. The tall and thick branches covered over a hundred feet in circumference, and a small flat dam was arranged near the root of the tree. Behind it were three thatched huts, and in the thickest shade of the tree in front of the houses, over thirty sets of Eight Immortal Tables and long stools were neatly arranged. It was a good place to shelter the merchants from the sun and rain.

At this moment, even though it was close to noon, the thirty plus tables under the shade of the tree were completely empty. There were no pedestrians on the road. Qin Xin pulled Du Qi into the shade and was about to find a clean table to sit on when a waiter from the Tea House came up to them with a smile on his face. He stopped in front of them and greeted them, "Are you two passing by or answering the invitation?"

Qin Xin asked, "Responding to what invitation? We passed by this place and saw that the shade of the trees here was thick. We specially came to rest. Quickly get us some good food and prepare some dry food. The money will not be short on you. "

When the waiter saw that it was a man and a woman in ragged clothes and covered in stains, he originally did not want to pay any attention to them. He only wanted to chase them away and settle the matter, but he was worried that if the person who came was a guest or a junior of some guest, if he was careless and offended them, then he would absolutely be unable to endure it, so he could only welcome them with a smile. When he found out that they were just passers-by, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. The smile on his face suddenly disappeared, and he appeared somewhat impatient. He waved his hand and said, "There is no food, food, and dry food. There is still water. You should quickly drink it and leave." If he did not see that Qin Xin was a girl, he might have pushed the two of them away a long time ago.

Qin Xin had long seen smoke curling up from the kitchen at the back of the cottage. The fragrance of the wine and meat was overflowing. Seeing that the shop assistant was lying, she shouted, "You didn't even do business that was delivered to your doorstep. What are you guys trying to do? We have to stay here and eat lunch before we leave. " As she spoke, Qin Xin pulled Du Qi and tried to walk around the shop assistant and walk inside.

The shop assistant hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop the two of them. He looked back and said softly, "Dear guests, I advised you to leave earlier for your own good. If someone comes later, I will not dare to persuade them. You can't leave even if you want to. "

Qin Xin was not willing to believe the words of the waiter and continued to shout, "Thank you for your good intentions. If you really have good intentions, then hurry up and prepare some good food. After we eat, we will immediately rush over."

That waiter was already unhappy in his heart and now he saw that Qin Xin did not listen to his advice and kept pestering. He could not help but say angrily, "Why don't the two of you understand human language? I am trying to persuade you with good intentions, but you don't listen. Are you tired of living by behaving atrociously here? You... "

Before the shop assistant could finish, someone suddenly asked," Who is tired of living? "

This person had just finished speaking when he was a hundred zhang away. Before his voice had even faded, he had already arrived in front of Qin Xin. He stood upright at the side between Qin Xin and the waiter. It was as if he had been standing there all along, making people not feel the slightest bit of strange feeling.

Seeing that someone had come, the waiter hurriedly put on a smile and greeted, "May I ask if Sir is passing by or answering the invitation?"

Du Qi and Qin Xin saw that the person who came was in his thirties and was dressed in scholarly clothing. He held a folding fan in his hand, but there was a tall and thin man with a long sword hanging from his waist. Although he was a martial artist, he was not as outstanding and ordinary as his appearance. When he heard the shop assistant's words, he asked in surprise, "You don't know who I am?"

The shop assistant's smile was still the same as before. He said neither servile nor overbearing, "Of course I know. It's just that I act according to the rules, so I have to ask, is Sir System passing by or accepting an invitation? I hope Sir System will hear the complaint. "

The waiter said, "Why did I come to Huang Jiaya for no reason? Of course I came here to accept the invitation. What happened just now? Hurry up and tell me. "

The waiter said, "It's fine, it's fine. I was just playing with two passing guests. Sir, this way please! "As he spoke, he led the man to a table by the side and kept gesturing to Du Qi and Qin Xin. He told the two of them to leave this place as soon as possible.

Du Qi originally did not want to cause any more trouble and had long wanted to pull Qin Xin away. However, now that he saw a mediocre but self-righteous martial artist, he became very popular. Hence, he gave up on his original intention. He was prepared to stay and investigate, but he knew that Qin Xin definitely would not leave just like that. Therefore, he did not say anything and allowed Qin Xin to deal with him.

Sure enough, Qin Xin still pulled Du Qi and followed behind that waiter. They walked into the bar. The shop assistant turned around and saw them by chance. He could not help but be shocked. Just as he was about to blame the two, he heard the guest say: "Buddy, go and greet the two of them. I'll find a place to sit"

The shop assistant seemed to be extremely helpless when he heard that. He sighed and said, "Follow me. Sigh!" As he sighed, the waiter led Du Qi and Qin Xin towards the thatched cottage. Clearly, he was prepared to settle them in the house.

Qin Xin shouted, "That's more like it. How can there be a reason to push business out of the door?"

When they passed by the man's table, Du Qi suddenly stopped and asked, "May I ask your name?"

The man heard and looked at Du Qi. He saw that Du Qi's eyes were lifeless. He looked so weak that he could not stand the wind. It was obvious that he did not know martial arts. He thought that he was just an ordinary passerby, but he did not look down on Du Qi because of it. Instead, he answered in an easy-going manner, "Thank you for asking me. My surname is Hu, and I will fly whenever I come by the name of grass. Shi Ju lived in the Hu Family Collection in the northeast of Dragon Horn Mountain. Please advise me! "

Du Qi said, "So it's the famous Confucianist Hu Lai. I've been looking forward to meeting you for a long time!"

Hu Lai smiled and said, "It's an undeserved reputation. I'm ashamed and ashamed! If the two of you don't mind, why don't you come and sit down and have a chat? "

Du Qi originally did not know who Hu Lai was, but he saw that he was wearing a scholarly robe. Who would have thought that Hu Lai would receive a well-deserved punishment? It was as if he was a scholar to begin with. Du Qi could not help but be excited when he heard her. "Even if I wish, I dare not invite you!" Before Du Qi could finish his words, Qin Xin had already happily called out. Whirlwind! She turned around like a whirlwind and followed closely behind Du Qi as she sat down beside him. It just so happened that he could see the entire dam.

Hu Lai saw that although Qin Xin was covered in dirt, it seemed that she had not cleaned her face for many days. However, it was still difficult to conceal her outstanding beauty. He also saw that her actions were elegant. She was valiant and valiant, and it was obvious that she was not an ordinary woman. Only then did he understand why she did not listen to the shop assistant's advice just now. Since she dared to stay here and not go, she immediately wanted to make friends with him. Thus, she picked up the teapot on the table and poured a bowl of tea for Du Qi and Qin Xin. He said, "This is bitter tea. It can quench thirst and relieve summer heat. The two of you try it."

Du Qi said, "Thank you, Hero Hu!" As he spoke, he picked up the tea bowl and drank it bit by bit until there was not a single drop left in the entire bowl of tea.
