Binh Duong Order

Luo Xiaoxiao and Mu Fanchen walked in front, chatting, laughing, and fighting, while Yuan Man and Gu Cheng walked behind, smiling and looking at each other, walking leisurely.

Li Boyan leaned on the armrest and looked down. There were only four of them. Where is Ye Shulin?Why not with them?Seeing the four people leaving the inn in joy and harmony, Li Boyan suddenly realized that they seemed too annoying, they deserved to be left behind!

After singing a big play in his head, knowing that someone was excluded, Li Boyan happily hummed a ditty and left.

It's just that Li Boyan was wrong, Ye Shulin was not excluded.

Ye Shuli and his party of five lived in the Bafang Inn, and Yuan Man thought that since he arrived in Jinzhou, he would take them to eat Jinzhou's special roast whole lamb. Everyone called it, except Ye Shulin. I just want to go.

Not wanting to force others to make things difficult, the four of them went. Before going, Yuan Man asked the inn to help Ye Shulin prepare meals. Among other things, the treatment was not like being excluded.

As night fell in Jinzhou City, lights were lit up everywhere, and a whole sheep was marinated, and the headless sheep was pierced with wooden sticks and roasted on the fire. With the sound of "pull", the oil seeps out from the skin and falls into the fire along the slightly scorched sheepskin. The firewood makes a "crack" sound, and the guy who roasts the sheep evenly spreads the oil refined with spices on the sheep. , the soul-stirring fragrance rose up with the flames, making people itch.

Luo Xiaoxiao squatted in front of the fire so anxiously that she hammered her legs, it smelled so good!very hungry!So hungry!

Seeing Luo Xiaoxiao's appearance, the big guy who roasted the lamb proudly showed off: "Girl, doesn't it smell good?"

"fragrant."

"It's not me, it's Jinzhou. If you want to talk about my family's roast lamb, it's ranked first."

There is no name for the place where they eat roast mutton. It is just a shed built in the open air. Guests sit in the shed. Outside the shed there are more than a dozen stoves built with stones. In the middle of the square, there are two iron shelves on both sides of the round stone stove, so that the sheep can be roasted on it.

More than a dozen stone stoves are working together, and the roasting is vigorous. The heat and fire are accompanied by the smell of oily smoke. Feel bad smell, not feel noisy, the sparks in the firewood burn upwards, disappearing into the night sky, patches of white smoke are vying to run to the sky, this is the day of life.

"Be careful." Luo Xiaoxiao got too close, and Yuan Man was afraid that her hair would be scorched, so he kindly reminded her, Luo Xiaoxiao obediently jumped back two steps: "Okay." Turning around, he asked again: "How long will it take?" ?”

The guy who roasted the lamb was covered with oil from the fire, sweating profusely, and wiped the sweat on his forehead with his sleeve: "It will be ready in half a quarter of an hour! Don't rush, don't rush! It needs to be roasted enough to be delicious." !"

"Rare is more strange." Young Master Mu scoffed at Luo Xiaoxiao's reincarnated appearance of a starved ghost: "Just eat a sheep, look at you."

Gu Cheng casually glanced at Lord Mu, if they hadn’t ordered thirty meat skewers in total, and Lord Mu had killed more than 20 skewers by himself, don’t tell me, he is quite qualified to say this of.

After the meat skewers were finished, Lord Mu Xiaohou ran over unwilling to be lonely, and squatted and hammered his legs with Luo Xiaoxiao.

Yuan Man could see Gu Cheng's speechless and helpless look at Mu Xiaohou. Today, Young Master Gu came out with them, Yuan Man was quite surprised. She thought that Young Master Gu would lose to Why not? Because of that, I am sulking all by myself.

But not only not, but Yuan Man looked at him and felt that there was nothing unusual about him. He wanted to ask him if there was anything wrong, but he was afraid that it would not matter if he didn't mention it. He would be unhappy if he mentioned Young Master Gu, but now he Everything was as usual, which made Yuanman a little worried. For a moment, two thoughts, whether to ask or not to ask, were entangled in Yuanman's heart, and Yuanman was hesitant and entangled.

"I'm fine." Gu Cheng thought a lot. On the way here, he found that something was wrong with Yuan Man. Just now, he found Yuan Man staring at him for a long time. How could such a smart person not know what Yuan Man was thinking? Yuan Man is a good person in Young Master Gu's heart, and he didn't want Yuan Man to be difficult, so he said, "Don't worry, I can think about it."

Yuan Man also knew that Young Master Gu was not a liar, so he was relieved to hear what she said, but Yuan Man was worried about what Young Master Gu said next.

"Win it next time."

It's not "I will definitely win it back", nor is it "I will definitely win it back", but "I will win it back next time".

Yuan Man thought that Young Master Gu was just like him knowing why he couldn't beat him. He realized that he was not Yu Xiaozhen's opponent. What this said doesn't seem to make sense.

"Next time?" Yuan Man asked jokingly, wanting to find out what Gu Cheng was thinking: "Which time is it next time? I don't think that girl has any ill intentions towards us. Young Master Gu doesn't want it." Go find trouble first."

"I won't." He said that he would not take the initiative to make trouble: "When I can beat her." He said when is the next time.

Until I can beat her.

At first glance, it seems that there is nothing wrong with it. Yes, if you want to win, you must beat others first?But when I think about it, I always feel that there is something wrong.

Young Master Gu was facing the fire from the side, and the mottled fire light passed through more than half the distance, tearing at Young Master Gu's face.

The bright orange half of the face, and the dull half of the face.

Yuan Man suddenly remembered that in Yongzhou, when they were called to live in a small alley by a small clerk, the Gucheng at this time was a bit similar to that time, but there was something different, Yuan Man couldn't say it all at once. That feeling was like a feather gently itching on Yuan Man's heart. It was clearly felt, but it couldn't be grasped or touched.

"Then—" Yuan Man looked at Gu Cheng and asked sincerely, "What if I can't beat him all the time?"

Gu Cheng raised his eyelids, his pupils moved slightly, and his Adam's apple moved. He just glanced at Yuan Man, and then turned his face into the darkness with an unclear expression.

Yuan Man sighed inaudibly, she thought she knew the answer.

If you can't fight all the time, then don't fight, just like in Xianrenju, if you don't fight, you won't lose.

"Okay, okay!" Luo Xiaoxiao's cheers saved Yuan Man and Gu Cheng.

Luo Xiaoxiao and Mu Xiaohou ran over first and sat down. The guy who roasted the lamb held the wooden stick of the roasted lamb and carried the lamb over. The scented ones were put on their table, the man put the sheep away, pulled out the stick, and looked at the four of them triumphantly: "The roasted whole lamb from the guest officials is ready! Eat it while it's hot! If If it’s not enough, add more! We don’t have anything else at home! Mutton? Enough!”

"Okay okay."

Several people thanked the buddy and were about to start eating. As soon as Master Mu put his hand on it, he shrank back: "Hot, hot, hot!"

"Of course it's hot after it's baked!" Luo Xiaoxiao looked at his eagerness, and thought to herself how did this person have the face to talk about herself just now?Also, is he really a little prince?But after all, Luo Xiaoxiao still did not forget to fan the whole roasted lamb, hoping that it would cool down quickly.

After waiting for a while, Lord Mu Xiaohou started again. This time, he had a long memory. He knew that he had to try it carefully first. After trying it, it seemed to be okay, so he began to break the leg of lamb, thinking softly about the bone breaking, The soft and rotten mutton was steaming upwards with the overflowing juice. Young Lord Mu broke off the leg of the lamb, first sucked the juice that flowed to the wrist, and then bit down on the meat without using much force. A mouthful of meat was torn off: "Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm))" Little Hou Mu chewed with relish, and he did not forget to lick two mouthfuls of seasoning sticking to his fingertips.

Four legs, just happened to be divided among the four of them.

Luo Xiaoxiao gnawed on the mutton leg and still did not forget to ask Yuan Man something serious: "Yuan Man, now that we are in Jinzhou, where should we find the envoy of Xianluo?"

"It's not difficult." Yuan Man replied: "Let's find Liu Ye first, find Liu Ye, ask the envoy's whereabouts, and the rest will be easy."

"Should we call in more people?" Gu Cheng asked.

Yuan Man didn't understand: "Why?"

"If he won't let him go, he will rob him." Young Master Gu answered seriously.

"Who told you he wouldn't let anyone go?"

"When hero Li Yidao saves people, the bad guys don't let them go, but hero Li Yidao always snatches people here." Young Master Gu replied very seriously.

Li Yidao?Yuan Man was puzzled, who was Li Yidao?Oh - Yuan Man remembered.

"It's Li Yidao in your book "Li Yidao the Hero", right?" Lord Mu Xiaohou also remembered.

Yuan Man was very helpless: "...Young Master Gu, read less of this kind of book in the future."

"why?"

Yuan Man didn't get entangled with him: "But Master Liu is a businessman. You understand a businessman. If you give him money, he will give you things. The messenger of love is a thing to him, and it can be bought with money. The Lord has already sold the person, we can find a buyer and buy it, it’s not that complicated.”

"Oh." Young Master Gu was a little disappointed, it was not as grand and dangerous as it was written in the book, and it was not even as good as they were in Yongzhou, so he suddenly felt nostalgic.

"Then where are we going to find that sixth master?" Luo Xiaoxiao asked.

Yuan Man said: "There is a piece of land outside the city of Jinzhou, called the 'Long Corridor', we can go there and have a look tomorrow."

"Okay." Knowing what to do next, the few of them were confident, and continued to eat meat happily.

After eating the meat on the back of the lamb, this part of the meat will be thicker than the meat on the legs, and it is not easy to tear it off. Yuan Man tried to tear off a rib of lamb, but it was unsuccessful. , let go of his hand, moved his fingers, and planned to continue in another direction.

As soon as my hand touched it, I heard a cheerful voice behind me: "Girl, do you want a knife?"

Yuan Man turned his head and saw an old man with gray sideburns, looking at him with a smile.

The old man was dressed in coarse cloth, which was old but tidy. His gray hair was neatly tied up. He also inserted a branch from a wilderness to bind his hair. He also wore a bamboo hat at night. , the color of the bamboo hat is yellow, and it is covered with pulp.

The old man has gray eyebrows but clear eyes. Although he is a little stooped, he looks very energetic. His long white beard trembles with his smiling face. The most eye-catching thing on his body is a big gourd around his waist , It blocked the area below the chest and above the knees of the old man.

He carried a pole on his shoulder, and there was a basket on each side of the pole. The outside of the basket was filled with all kinds of knives, such as kitchen knives, small knives, and Tai knives. It seemed that he was an old man who sold knives.

"No need, thank you, old man." Yuan Man politely refused, although the mutton was a bit difficult to handle, it was not enough to use a knife.

The white-bearded old man refused, and said with a smile: "Miss, I want one."

"Okay, okay." Just as he was eating meat, an old man ran out of nowhere and lost his interest for no reason. Young Master Mu wanted to buy one and send him away quickly.

"Okay." Seeing that Master Mu was getting impatient, Yuan Man also let go: "Okay, come on."

The old man with white beard was overjoyed when he heard the words, he put down his shoulder pole, and instead of giving them a choice, he took two knives by himself, a Tang knife and a short knife as long as his forearm.

"This belongs to the young master." Tang Dao gave it to Lord Mu Xiaohou.

"This belongs to the girl." The dagger was given to Yuan Man.

Seeing that the old man took two handfuls, they didn't care about it. After all, the old man was old, and they would feel more or less compassionate.

"What's the matter?" Mu Xiaohou yelled, and asked the white-bearded old man with the knife: "What kind of knife has two edges?" Mu Xiaohou felt that the white-bearded old man was playing with him, and picked up Yuanman again. It's even worse: "Your knife only has a blade on the tip?"

"Yes." The old man with white beard replied cheerfully.

"You!" Little Houye Mu felt that the old man was here to steal money, and was about to get angry when Yuan Man stopped him: "One more thing is worse than one less thing, little Houye, forget it, forget it, be happy, there's nothing wrong with it Getting angry over such a small matter." It's not a big money, if it's a mess, it's not worth it, Yuan Man took out his wallet: "Old man, how much are these two knives?"

"Hehehehehe." The old man with white beard happily bowed and bowed, and said politely, "Young master, one or two mountains and rivers will be stained with blood and Li Bei, and young lady, half the money will be reduced to tears in troubled times."

Yuan Man paused the hand that took the money, raised his head and looked at the white-bearded old man with an unclear expression.

The old man with white beard was standing with his back to the fire, the fire behind him was getting higher and higher because the shop assistant added firewood, Yuan Man looked at the old man, the fire was half a person taller than the old man, as if it was burning from the old man The same as before, the old man with white beard still had his benevolent and kind face in the shadows, he couldn't see clearly, it was so vague that people couldn't remember his appearance, and Yuan Man was a little dazed.

Seeing that the fire was too hot, the guys in the store came to put out the fire noisily, and Yuan Man came back to his senses. Once he got back to his senses, the sense of ambiguity on his face became more obvious. Gu Cheng next to her glanced at her and turned his head without saying a word. .

"What's the mess?" Young Lord Mu was completely angry this time, and raised his knife and stood up: "Are you kidding me? I'm Lord Hou! You trickster! How dare you tease me!" Scared Luo Xiaoxiao immediately hugged him, afraid that he would do something.

The white-bearded old man was still smiling, and he bowed to the four of them in a calm and unhurried manner: "Don't be annoyed, my lords, I'll give you the song "Someone Said"."

The white-bearded old man picked up the pole again, and walked away cheerfully. His hunched back was the same as it was recently. His white beard and broken hair danced lightly in the wind. The pole on his shoulder jumped up and down cheerfully following the old man's pace. , the two baskets were dangling in mid-air.

The old man with white beard did not take big steps, but walked quickly, as if he was dancing a joyous dance, while walking, he sang briskly:

"Speaking of friendship for thousands of years

Second talk about the sorrow of the world

Three thoughts about relatives and friends, love and hatred become obsession

Four measures of measurement and planning, laughing hard and soft

five sighs

Six-language poverty, stupidity, anger, no suspicion

The combination of seven and six, forgetting the flesh and blood

Baliaoji has been going back and forth since ancient times

Nine see aspirations and keep dawn changes

The road in front of Shixi High Building is absurd and the people worry—"

Following the ending of the last word of the white-bearded old man, it seemed like a sigh, and the old man disappeared, and the only thing that could be heard was the shouting of Lord Mu Xiaohou.
