Me and my Jianghu Tavern

After lighting the fire, Zhang Ming caught another hare in the wild. After it was cooked, it was tonight's dinner.

The sky was dark, Su Tan propped his chin, and held a branch in one hand to pull the fire.

The firewood was crackling, and a rabbit with its fur peeled off was placed on it, roasting a faint smell of meat.

"It's ready, eat it." Zhang Ming handed the roasted rabbit to Su Tan.

Su Tan hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said, "No, shopkeeper, you can eat, I'm not hungry."

Zhang Ming didn't take back his hand, looked at Su Tan and said, "Eat."

Su Tan pondered for a moment, then reluctantly took the roasted rabbit, tore off a piece of meat, put it in his mouth, and chewed.

Su Tan's eyes lit up, the meat... was better than she imagined.

Xiaoqi was lying behind Su Tan, and when she saw Zhang Ming killing the rabbit, she was very obstructive. She always felt that it was the little gray rabbit back then, but the rabbit died in Zhang Ming's hands in the end. I hate Zhang Ming, and I don't even bother to talk to him.

"How?" Zhang Ming asked.

Seeing that Zhang Ming was looking at her, Su Tan felt a little embarrassed, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly lowered her head and replied, "It's delicious."

"Is it too hot, your face is red."

Su Tan raised his head suddenly when he heard this, and denied it: "No, no, how can I blush."

Zhang Ming paused, after what he said, Su Tan's face turned even redder.

Seeing Su Tan blushing, Zhang Ming also understood, feeling a little embarrassed.

I wouldn't have said it if I knew it earlier, but now the atmosphere seemed a little awkward.

In this wilderness, lonely men and widows, it is difficult for people not to think about it, no wonder Su Tan blushed.

Su Tan ate slowly, looking at Zhang Ming from the corner of his eye from time to time.

The firewood was crackling, and in front of the fire, the breathing of the two of them could be clearly heard.

Zhang Ming pulled the fire to make it burn even more.

Su Tan came back to his senses, handed the roasted rabbit in his hand to Zhang Ming, and said, "You eat too."

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "No, you can eat first, and just give me the leftovers when you're full."

"That won't work, how can you eat the leftovers." Su Tan said seriously.

Seeing her appearance, Zhang Ming gave a wry smile and said, "Aren't they all the same?"

"It's different, I..."

Only at this time did Su Tan realize that he seemed to have said the wrong thing. Could it be that you bite me one bite at a time? This is too much...

Thinking of this, Su Tan's face turned even redder, and she could even feel the burning sensation on her face.

Su Tan pursed his lips, stuffed the roasted rabbit into Zhang Ming's hands, and said, "I'm full, let's rest first!"

After finishing speaking, Su Tan turned around, went to the back of the tree and sat down against the tree, closing his eyes.

Zhang Ming stared at Su Tan's leftover roasted rabbit head in his hand for a moment.

He smacked his mouth, feeling a little helpless, shook his head and smiled, and then started to eat.

After all, Su Tan was also a woman, and Zhang Ming had seen such bravery in the northern desert sand field before, and now seeing her shy side, he must be a little dazed.

Zhang Ming glanced sideways at Su Tan who was leaning against the tree.

Still, it's cute.

The fire in the fire gradually became smaller, and the two of them leaned against the tree, and their breath gradually stabilized.

On the other side, the donkey and the horse were lying on the ground and snoring from time to time.

"Meow~" Xiaoqi tiptoed to Su Tan's side, climbed onto Su Tan's body, hugged her, closed her eyes and fell asleep.

Su Tan subconsciously stretched out his hand to caress Xiao Qi's body.

The moon and stars are rare, and the bright moon is in the sky.

The two leaned their backs against the tree, only a tree separated them, but they could hear each other's breath clearly.

Zhang Ming opened his eyes, but did not fall asleep.

"have you slept?"

Hearing Zhang Ming's voice, Su Tan replied, "Not yet."

"Why don't you rest?" Zhang Ming asked.

Su Tan said softly: "I can't sleep, I'm not used to being outside."

Su Tan paused for a moment and said, "Why don't the shopkeeper tell some stories."

"Tell a story?" Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, and said, "The stories I write are really good, but if I tell them orally, I may not be good at telling them."

"No problem."

"Then what story do you want to hear?"

"I saw "Xiao Xian" written by you in the tavern earlier, and I only read half of it, why don't I finish this story."

Zhang Ming paused when he heard this, "Is this a story..."

Remembering, there was no response for a moment.

Su Tan heard that there was no more movement behind him, thinking that Zhang Ming had fallen asleep, so he said, "The shopkeeper?"

Zhang Ming came back to his senses, smiled slightly and said, "Okay, listen to me."

This story has been told until dawn.

Chapter 316: Wait until I can solve that trouble

"The shopkeeper is not in a hurry to go back?"

Seeing that Zhang Ming was not in a hurry, Su Tan paid attention to the scenery along the roadside while walking. Every time he arrived in a city, Zhang Ming would always go out for a walk, like a traveler.

Zhang Ming didn't know how to answer this question.

where?Jian'an?Tavern?

When he walked out of the gate of the tavern, he wanted to see this magnificent river and lake and solve the necessary troubles, but these days, Zhang Ming didn't know what he was doing.

What is the rivers and lakes like?It seems that it is not what Zhang Ming saw.

Everything seemed to be peaceful. Although Liangzhou and his party could be called magnificent, they were not the rivers and lakes he wanted to meet.

Zhang Ming pondered for a moment, then replied: "I might, I want to walk again."

"Where are you going?" Su Tan asked sideways.

Zhang Ming shook his head and said, "I don't know."

He has been searching aimlessly all this time. Chang'an and his party were invited by someone, and this time Liangzhou is here again, and Zhang Ming has no goal of his own in whatever he does.

As he himself said, he just went to see it.

After reading it, it's gone.

"I don't know?" Su Tan was puzzled.

"That's right." Zhang Ming smiled and said, "If possible, I would also like to stay in the tavern for the rest of my life, but there are always people who miss me."

The person who misses him is the supervisor of Qin Tianjian, who is under one person and above ten thousand people, so how can Zhang Ming feel at ease.

When Su Tan heard this, he didn't ask carefully, but said, "I have nowhere to go."

Zhang Ming looked sideways at Su Tan, paused and said, "You are different. You have your own affairs and pursuits, but I am just waiting."

Su Tan just wanted to avenge his father, but this revenge was not easy to avenge. That stinky monk was not a cheap lamp. In Zhang Ming's opinion, Su Tan probably had no chance, but he didn't say it, and he didn't say anything. It's not good to hit Su Tan.

"Waiting for what?" Su Tan asked.

"Wait until I can fix that trouble."

"Wait? Are you waiting?"

Su Tan was a little puzzled, but she had never seen Zhang Ming practice martial arts or anything else, and when she was in Jian'an, she just sold wine and sat around every day.

The trouble Zhang Ming was talking about should not be small, and his own martial arts skills are not bad, so why wait for an opportunity?

Zhang Ming smiled and replied, "Of course, it's just a matter of time."

He is still no match for Kong Yue now, but not necessarily in the future.

Now he is just an ordinary master with no sense of morality. He has inherited the swordsmanship of two peerless swordsmen and the piano art of the six-fingered piano demon. Although he has made up for the vacancy, if he wants to say that he is against Kong Yue, it is probably impossible. .

Anyway, that old Taoist priest is also a land immortal, and the current Zhang Ming is far behind.

Moreover, now he doesn't even know Kong Yue's background.

But it doesn't mean that there is no opportunity. In this world, he has a thing that he depends on for survival, called the system. With this thing, there will always be opportunities.

"How big is the trouble you said?" Su Tan asked.

Zhang Ming pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know, but it's very difficult, very difficult..."

He bites these two words, it is not only difficult to speak clearly.

"Drive." Su Tan didn't ask any more questions, he waved the rein to increase his speed, and Zhang Ming also followed after seeing this. The donkey was always slow, but it didn't mean he couldn't catch up.

He was always left far away by Su Tan. Many times, Su Tan was waiting for him at the next intersection, and he would always be slower.

"There is a restaurant in front, let's rest there for a while."

"it is good."

This is not any other place. Zhang Ming remembered that he went to Liangzhou when he was asking for directions.

Entering the restaurant, I found that the waiter here has changed. When he came, he was a thin waiter, but now this one is a bit older.

"Why did you change the mistress?" Zhang Ming asked after sitting down.

The new waiter came over and said: "It seems that the guest officer has been to our store. To tell you the truth, you can always meet all kinds of people when you open a restaurant here. If you make a mistake, you may be in trouble." There is a disaster of killing, the former Xiaoer..."

The new mistress didn't say any more, as long as a normal person can understand, the previous mistress should no longer be in this world.

"Is that so..." Zhang Ming looked at the new mistress, who had a pockmarked face, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes were extremely obvious. Zhang Ming asked again, "What about you? You know this is still a mistress here. ?”

The little girl shook her head with a wry smile and replied, "To put it bluntly, it's just for a few coins."

"You don't need to run for your life, do you?" Zhang Ming asked. The restaurant is not big and the wages are probably not high. Is it so attractive for such a few dollars?

Xiao Er sighed, and sighed: "Actually, I can't earn a lot of money as a Xiao Er here, but I have a wife and children in my family. I have to support such a large family. It is said that there will be another Northern Expedition in the spring of next year, so the taxes will naturally be paid. You have to be a lot higher, some things have to be done by someone, and it’s also for living.”

Zhang Ming didn't know what to say when he heard Xiao Er's words.

Some things will always be done...

He didn't expect this sentence to be used here.

But what Xiao Er said was not bad, if it wasn't for the sake of living, who would be desperate to beg for these coins.

The rivers and lakes are not easy, and so are the people in this world.

Perhaps, this is also the reason why there are always people in the world who aspire to the livelihood of the people.

If you see too much suffering in the world, you will always have the illusion of changing everything.

Seeing that Zhang Ming was a little distracted, Su Tan asked aloud, "What are you thinking?"

Zhang Ming came back to his senses and replied: "Ah, nothing, just small things."

"Xiao Er, serve two plates of mutton and a jug of wine."

Xiao Er hurriedly said: "Okay, here we come."

To put it bluntly, this Xiaoer is just a passerby.

Su Tan was a little curious, why Zhang Ming was able to talk so much with these strangers, one or two might be fine, but along the way, Xu Liang, the stable shopkeeper in the city, and this little girl, he The words never seem to be less.

"The shopkeeper seems to be able to talk to anyone." Su Tan said softly.

Zhang Ming paused, then smiled and said, "It's nothing, as long as you are willing to ask, they are willing to answer, just like travelers, traveling through mountains and rivers is not only about seeing mountains and rivers, but also people and things on the way. It will get boring."

"I don't understand." Su Tan shook his head.
