Pick up the Dragon

The carriage was not slow, but very stable, Qianyue drove the carriage quietly, and the two people in the carriage talked to each other, pulling out the anecdotes they had heard from the world of dragons in the world over the years and slipped around.Li Yi found that although Peng Yu was not well-educated, the sentences he spoke had an inexplicable appeal, making people listen to them involuntarily.

Then he discovered that this conclusion was drawn too early.

The weather in summer was terribly hot, and Li Yi felt that the date stones he threw all the way might not grow into date trees—they had been dried by the sun long ago.The horses pulling the cart were so hot that they were out of breath, and the few people had to rest in a small town when the sun was rising.

Peng Yu couldn't swallow the hard chewed dry food, so he searched and found a noodle restaurant in the town.This town is really poor, the noodle shop is really shabby, the tables and chairs can only be placed outside the door, and the oilcloth used to shade the sun and rain is almost broken into a fishing net.

The two ordered three bowls of noodles together, and sat around the table.One leg of Peng Yu's bench was missing half. He didn't look at it, and sat down on his buttocks. As a result, "Ouch", he almost fell to the ground with the stool.

"Damn!" He cursed immediately, "What the hell, it's so fucking broken!"

A circle of people around cast their gazes at him, and he was holding the chopsticks that were not straight at both ends, but were big, round, clean and shiny, with a big gap of one-third deep. I took a sip of the noodles with meat and vegetables, full of color and no salt, and finally let out a "bah" unbearably: "Really..."

Li Yi glanced at him indifferently, and that "fucking mother" swallowed with a thud: "...it's unpalatable!"

The cook of the noodle shop was delivering food to a table next to him, and when he heard him say that, he glared at him and said, "Don't eat it!"

The cook was born with a big shoulder and a round waist, and his body was covered with stinky sweat, making the sun shine with oil, and he was still holding a kitchen knife with countless cuts in his hand, and even if he stared at him, the king of Hades would give up three points.Peng Wandan was actually not a bully, shy, and cowardly. He was not afraid of him at all, and even beckoned and called him over: "Boss, do you have an extra bowl here?"

The cook stretched out his short thick fingers and compared him with "three".

"You still need three copper coins?" Peng Yu slapped the table with his chopsticks, and squatted down on the wobbly bench with one leg, "You don't even eat pigs!"

The cook yelled again in a rough voice: "If you don't eat the pig, you eat it!" He twisted a hundred catties of buttocks and left.

"Hey you..."

Peng Yu didn't take advantage of it, with a look of bitterness and hatred on his face like "all of you here owe me money", he picked from the bowl, threw away the fat with tendons, and put aside the lumpy noodles, and finally picked and picked from the bowl. Pick up a cabbage heart that looks like that, and half a white and tender cabbage worm comes out after biting.

He spat all over the floor again "bah".

He simply put down the sky-high priced noodles of three copper coins, and took out a sesame seed cake from the oil paper bag. The sesame seeds on the sesame seed cake seemed to be more expensive than this bowl of noodles.

He is eating sesame seed cakes with noodle soup here, while Qianyue has already finished half of the bowl with a snort.People who run a business outside are different. They can eat whatever is delicious or unpalatable without changing their expressions, unlike the two masters next to them.

Peng Yu's mouth is a naughty one, and Dragon King's mouth is a natural one. In short, in terms of "eating", the two of them can be regarded as meeting each other and cherishing each other, and they seem to be colluding.Li Yi didn't even move his chopsticks at all, he directly reached out to ask Peng Yu for half a sesame seed cake, and began to chew on it dryly.

So what's the point of sitting here eating noodles?

Qian Yue finished his bowl and wiped his mouth. Feeling that he was not full, he put his hand on the edge of Peng Yu's bowl: "Master, do you still want to eat?"

"Don't eat, I can't swallow."

"Then I will eat it for you."

Peng Yu let out a "huh" and patted the sesame seed cake on the noodle bowl, leaving a layer of sesame seeds on it.

"Thank you, Master."

Then Li Yi also imitated him and slapped a layer of sesame seeds on his bowl of noodles, and pushed it to Qian Yue.

What kind of thing is it that two big men don't eat and give it all to a girl.

Qian Yue twitched the corner of his mouth invisibly, and nodded at him: "Thank you, Young Master."

Qian Yue was snoring there, Li Yi and Peng Yu were gnawing on a piece of sesame seed cakes, and the people around them looked away after seeing enough of them.

There is a table on the side with a mother and a child, and for some reason, the child suddenly started crying, kicking his legs and shouting: "Mother, my stomach hurts!"

After shouting that it doesn't matter if the stomach hurts, everyone's eyes turned to that side again.Seeing that something was wrong, the mother quickly put down the three copper coins, picked up the child and ran away.

The diners who watched the excitement instantly became panic-stricken, and said: "The child will not suffer from the plague, right?"

That one said: "It won't be here..."

For a moment, copper coins fell out of various pockets like bouncing beans, and the crowd dispersed with a "hula", and a kind person came up and patted Peng Yu's shoulder: "Is it from other places? Don't eat it." Oh, there are worms in this noodle, if you eat it, you will die! Run away!"

It's really three people become tigers.

Li Yi glanced at Qian Yue who was hesitant, and pouted his lips: "Don't worry, boiling water is enough to kill bugs and eggs, don't bother with them."

Qian Yue did not suspect him, and snored louder than before.

As soon as the cook came out and saw the empty seats, he didn't seem surprised by it. Without blinking his eyes, he simply collected the copper coins and walked up to them again: "Have you finished eating? Give me the money."

What kind of attitude is this.

Peng Yu just refused to take out the nine copper coins, and began to bargain with him: "I think your side is only worth one copper coin, but it depends on how much effort you have put into it. The taste...it's really..."

The cook didn't wait for him to finish, he turned his head and picked a "soft persimmon" and patted Li Yi's shoulder with his fat hand full of oil: "How do you think this side tastes?"

The "weak" Dragon King really compromised "unsurprisingly", showing a slightly apologetic smile: "In my opinion...it's okay."

It’s okay, translated into dragon language: it’s too unpalatable, so unpalatable that I would rather swallow the alchemy furnace of the Supreme Lord alive.

The cook said again, "Then do you think it's worth three copper coins?"

Li Yi's smile remained unchanged: "In my opinion... it's worth it."

Dragon Language: Worth it, it's worth it. I can get through the hole of the coin.

The cook looked at Peng Yu, and Peng Yu rolled his eyes, as if he had made a concession: "But I ate worms in your noodles... vegetable worms, you have to forgive me for my bowl of noodles. In this way Well, I don't think it's easy for you, I'll give you six copper coins, six or six smooth, how about it?"

The cook rolled his eyes through the two slits on his face: "As you like, give me the money."

Peng Yu leaned back unhurriedly, but forgot that there was no back of the chair, and hurriedly turned back: "What's the hurry, our little brother hasn't finished eating yet. Don't worry, you will be indispensable."

The cook cursed something in a low voice, and went back to the kitchen to work.Qian Yue finally snorted the last mouthful, touched his belly and said, "Master, I'm full."

"Let's leave when we're full." Peng Yu took out the money and threw it on the table, flicking his sleeves, "Let's go!"

As soon as the three of them left, the cook stepped out and walked straight to the table where they were sitting. He saw three empty bowls stacked on top of each other, with a whole ingot of silver lying on the side of the bowl.

The cook was startled, then picked up the silver hesitantly, and turned his head suddenly to stop them, but only saw the buttocks of a carriage running away.

He held the silver anxiously, and finally murmured with a strange expression: "I'm sick."

He was really sick, and spent a lot of effort to bargain with someone for three copper coins, but finally threw down a silver ingot.

The Dragon King felt that the heads of the Peng family might not be normal, such as Peng Yu, or the guard named Qianyue. He suspected that the meaning of "Yue" actually meant "a belly as large as a mountain".

As soon as Li Yi got into the car, he patted a "Clean Clothes Talisman" on his shoulder to remove the obtrusive greasy marks.Peng Yu looked at him and said, "You didn't resist the cook who treated you like that just now? Why are you so bad-tempered, Dragon King?"

"It's not necessary," Li Yi's expression remained unchanged, "All troubles are found out."

Peng Yu said "hmm", "I don't think so."

"Ok?"

"Look, I didn't go anywhere, I was just sitting at home, and your 'big trouble' fell on my head from the sky, and I didn't bother you, so I don't want you." Peng Yu patted his face with a smile his shoulders.

Li Yi: "..."

What I said seems to be the case, but I always feel that something is wrong?

Peng Yu was so hot that he used his clothes to fan the wind. The ice cubes he brought from Peng's residence in the morning had already melted and turned into a bucket of water.While looking out, he muttered to himself: "These broken villages and towns are so poor that they don't even have a place to mend ice."

It's really strange, Xianzhou is so rich, but there is no one who can compare with it in a hundred li.Moreover, the world is peaceful now, and there is a prosperous scene where the people live in peace, but this area...why is it so poor?

It's normal to have a few backcountry areas on the map, but Xianzhou used to be the ancient capital of the former dynasty, and it should be a prosperous resort with Xianzhou as the center. It shouldn't be like this at all.

It has only been a hundred years since the Great Zhou Dynasty. Could it be that it will decline to this point in a hundred years?Did the imperial court not allocate a penny here?

More than a hundred years is not enough for the little dragons in the clan to have all their teeth.

"I said, aren't you hot?" Peng Yu asked suddenly.

The Dragon King's body is cool and cool, and his clothes are dry and docile, as if he didn't stay in this steaming midsummer at all.Peng Yu switched to the same side as him, then unconsciously rubbed against him, moved closer and closer, and simply stuck his whole body against his body, and hugged his arm with every inch.

Li Yi: "..."

Why doesn't this mortal have any sense of awe?

Peng Yu rubbed the cold air on Dragon King's body, let out a comfortable "ah", squinted his eyes and stopped screaming.Li Yi didn't bother to pay attention to him, let alone move his butt, so he simply used this posture to push the seal in his body again.

The road conditions were uneven, and even the best carriage would not be able to drive steadily, but he settled down amidst the swaying along the way, as if no matter whether the world collapsed or the mountains and rivers reversed, they couldn't move him at all.

When the sun was setting, the carriage finally approached Chenzhou City.

Li Yi opened his eyes suddenly, and the churning breath in his body gradually calmed down.His expression was surprisingly dignified, his brows were slightly frowned, and his forehead was covered with a thin layer of cold sweat.

He failed again, the seal seemed to be more difficult than imagined, and after an afternoon, he barely opened a corner, but he was exhausted.

His fingers were trembling slightly, and he clenched them tightly, not wanting to show his flaws to anyone.Both cheeks were pale, and were tinged with blood by Hongxiasheng.

Peng Yu finally woke up on his shoulder, wiped away the non-existent saliva marks on the corner of his mouth, and stretched himself in the spacious carriage.A group of three drove the car, rushed to the seal, and he fell asleep heartlessly.

He lifted the curtain to look out the window and asked, "Are we almost there?"

Without waiting for others to pay attention to him, he asked himself and answered: "Well, it's really here. Chen Zhou, I saw it. Tsk, it's even worse than I imagined."

It seems that in his eyes, apart from his own home, other places are only "broken" and "rotten".

Li Yi glanced at him in surprise: "Did you see it? How do you know this is Chen Zhou?"

Peng Yu pouted: "It says on the plaque, in such big characters, I'm not illiterate."

No better than being illiterate.

Li Yi also looked out of the window, only to see a city protruding far away from the end of his line of sight, and he could only make out its outline. Even his dragon eye, which can overlook thousands of miles, could only see the city wall and a piece of black paint clearly. The lacquered plaque, as for what is on the plaque, you have to squint your eyes and look carefully.

Peng Yu recognized "Chen Zhou" easily.

"Can you see that far?" he asked.

"Yeah, it's amazing." Peng Yu showed off indifferently, and then sighed very sadly, "Unfortunately, it won't work at night, God is jealous of talents."

Li Yi ignored his rambling words, and his doubts about this person increased a little bit. He saw him sticking out his hand from the car window, pointing to a certain place and asking, "Hey, is that Chenjiacun?"

He stared into the distance as the other party pointed, and saw an irregular small mound half a city away from the edge of the city—of course, it was a small mound from here, and it turned out to be a small village when you approached it. .

Li Yi made a decisive decision: "Qianyue, let's advance to Chenjiacun."
