Mortals ask the immortals

Everyone in the front yard was in an uproar, and then they clapped their hands and praised him, and there were endless words of surprise and praise.

Duan Qing was a little dumbfounded. This kind of ability can no longer be described as magical. Is this the alchemist that the scholar said!

He glanced at Wu Wen next to him and found that this guy was also staring at the old man in stunned silence, not noticing that Duan Qing was looking at him at all.

Looking at the old man in the courtyard, his face was calm, as if he didn't care much about other people's praise. He turned sideways and winked at the girl beside him.

The girl understood the idea and immediately took out a small wooden box from nowhere. She raised her head and looked at the old man. The old man glanced at the wooden box and nodded lightly.

After receiving the old man's approval, the girl held the wooden box in both hands and walked obediently into the hall.

Because of the eaves, the girl quickly disappeared from Duan Qing's sight.

At this time, the old man looked into the hall and said in a very nasal voice: "Old Taoist specially prepared a Qi-Building Pill. I wish Liu Gong Ershun a long life."

The Liu Gong the old man mentioned should be Liu Bapi! Duan Qing thought in his heart.

He had met Liu Papi many times before. He was a stingy old man who liked to drink Qinjiu from his inn and always owed him money for the wine.

After the girl entered, she heard Liu Bapi's laughter faintly coming from inside. After a while, she saw the girl coming out with a tray filled with gold.

The old man looked satisfied when he saw the gold that the girl brought out. He cupped his hands into the hall and said, "Thank you, Mr. Liu, for the generous gift."

Duan Qing was secretly stunned when he saw this. Liu Bapi was so stingy that he often delayed paying for his drinks, but now he was so generous!

He couldn't help but feel contempt for Liu Bapi.

At this time, Wu Wen next to Shi Qing suddenly exclaimed. "Qing'er, have you seen it? There's so much gold!"

As soon as Wu Wen finished speaking, he saw the old man turning his head slightly and glancing in the direction of the two of them.

Just this glance made the two of them shrink back in fear, and Wu Wen was so frightened that he fell down from the tree and groaned in pain.

When Duan Qing saw this, he wanted to jump down and help Wu Wen up, but as soon as he made a move, he heard a dog barking from one side.

Hearing this voice, the two of them looked to the side.

They saw a big black dog glaring at the two of them with its teeth bared, as if it would pounce at any moment.

Wu Wen felt a cold feeling on his back and immediately stood up from the ground, not daring to make any more moves. He was very panicked and cast a look for help at Duan Qing on the tree.

Duan Qing's scalp went numb when he looked at the big black dog with its teeth bared.

With this posture, it would be no joke if you were bitten!

So he gestured to Wu Wen with his mouth open and glanced at his waist.

Wu Wen also reacted immediately, calmed down, quickly untied the oil paper bag from his waist, tore it open several times, and threw all the meat buns at the big black dog.

The big black dog first came up to sniff it, but soon lost interest and continued to show its teeth at the two of them in an aggressive manner. It stared at the two of them with fierce eyes and leaned forward slightly, ready to pounce on them at any time. shred.

"I...I just said that the skin of Zhou Ji's buns is too thick, and you can't even bite into the fillings. Look, this dog won't even eat it. You damn scholar, you killed me this time!" Duan Qing's face was pale and his teeth were all broken. Shivering a little, he complained to Wu Wen.

Looking at Wu Wen again, I saw that this guy was stunned for a moment, and then shouted with an expression like his dead father. "Qing'er! Run!" Before he could finish his words, he immediately ran towards the backyard.

When the big black dog saw Wu Wen running away, he tried to chase him, but as soon as he moved his legs, he stopped again and stared directly at Duan Qing on the tree.

Duan Qing was a little stunned. He didn't expect this damn scholar to be so unreliable! He cursed Wu Wen in his heart.

Now that Wu Wen has run away, his situation is very bad. Looking at the big black dog, Duan Qing's heart beats fast, thinking about how to escape safely.

While Duan Qing was thinking, the big black dog stared at Duan Qing and started barking.

Duan Qing was even more panicked. It would be troublesome if he lured people from the Liu family here. He might even have to report him to the official as a thief.

Thinking of this, he had no time to worry about anything else, so he broke off a branch from the tree with all his strength, mustered up the courage to jump off the tree, raised the branch and fiercely chased after the big black dog.

Seeing Duan Qing's posture, the big black dog was so frightened that he instinctively turned around and ran away.

When Duan Qing saw the big black dog being scared away, he immediately turned around and ran towards the backyard, while constantly looking back to observe the big black dog's movements.

Sure enough, when the big black dog saw Duan Qing running away, he immediately started barking and chased after him.

Seeing this, Duan Qing did the same thing again, raised a branch and chased back. The big black dog was frightened by Duan Qing's actions and ran back again.

Over the years, he and Wu Wenke have been running around Xiao'an City frequently, and have been chased by dogs more than once or twice. This skill of bluffing to scare dogs is also derived from being chased by dogs too many times.

After bluffing several times, Duan Qing was already close to the dog hole he came from.

Once again, he pretended to chase back, and at the same time threw the branch in his hand at the big black dog. Duan Qing didn't have time to see if he had caught up with him, so he immediately came to the dog hole with a fierce step, pretending to get out.

At this time, he saw Wu Wen, who had just run away first, waiting for him outside the dog cave. He bowed and waved to him to hurry out.

This guy is quite loyal!

But before he could climb out, he heard a close barking sound behind him.

The big black dog that was scared back by Duan Qing's bluff had already reacted and chased after him.

Duan Qing was panicked and his movements suddenly stagnated.

At this moment, there was a sudden pulling force on the sole of his foot. Duan Qing forced himself to look back and vaguely saw one of his shoes being bitten by the black dog, which was pulling him back.

At the same time, there was a sound of footsteps coming from the courtyard. It seemed that someone from the Liu family had noticed the movement.

Duan Qing was even more panicked. If he was caught, it would not be a joke. Not to mention the loss of face, if he was caught and reported to the police, he would have no shame in staying in Xiao'an City in the future!

In a hurry, Duan Qing kept his feet straight, exerted force on his waist and legs, and took off a shoe that was bitten by the big black dog. He relaxed and got out immediately.

It was already dark at this time, and Duan Qing and Wu Wen ran out for two miles in a panic.

Duan Qing gasped and cursed Wu Wen beside him. "It was all your bad idea. I was almost bitten to death by a vicious dog and lost one of my shoes."

After that, he sat down and rubbed his left foot without shoes. He had just been running in a hurry, and the bare sole of his left foot was scratched by the pebbles on the road.

Wu Wen's body was weaker than Duan Qing's, and he was out of breath.

"This time...it's...it's a trap. That damn dog Liu Papi is...too fierce! Qing...Qing'er, sooner or later, I have to deal with that beast and avenge you for this shoe. "

Duan Qing looked contemptuous. "Come on, you actually left me and ran away alone just now! And that rotten meat bun in Zhou Ji, I will get angry when you mention it!"

"Hey!" Speaking of this, Wu Wen was also a little embarrassed.

Duan Qing felt depressed and returned to the inn in the dark with his bare left foot.

At this time, Brother Dasheng had already finished work and went home, and Father Duan was chopping beef for tomorrow's sale on the table.

This kind of beef is his family's unique ancestral craft. It needs to be chopped one day in advance, added with secret marinade, and slow-cooked for half a night. It is cooked but not rotten. It has a delicious flavor and endless aftertaste.

His beef has always sold very well, and it is often sold out before the afternoon every day.

Hearing the sound, Duan's father raised his head and looked at the disgraced Duan Qing, and said with a smile: "Little bastard, where are you going wild again? There is rice left in the pot for you, go and eat it."

Duan Qing calmly turned around, blocked his left foot without shoes with his body, and scratched his head in embarrassment.

"That's great. Dad, what's something delicious to eat tonight?"

After the commotion just now, Duan Qing was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.

Under the yellowish light of the oil lamp at the counter, Duan's mother, who was settling accounts, put down the account book in her hand and said softly: "It's the bone soup your father made. Where did you kid get so dirty!"

Duan Qing scratched his messy hair, feeling a little guilty. "I went to the river with Wu Xiucai to take a shower, but fell down on the way back."

He didn't dare tell his parents about going to the Liu Mansion to watch the excitement and being chased by a dog.

After saying that, Duan Qing picked up the burning oil lamp on the table and walked to the kitchen. Thinking of the bone soup his father had stewed, his hungry stomach suddenly growled!
