I want to cultivate swordsman

Seeing the shopkeeper walking away, Zhao Liangcai withdrew his gaze, turned his head to stare at the plate, picked up a piece of greasy white meat with chopsticks and said: "The meat cooked by this chef looks good, but I don't know how it tastes. I will try it first."

While speaking, Zhao Liangcai waved his chopsticks, intending to stuff a piece of white meat into his mouth, but before he handed the chopsticks to his mouth, another pair of chopsticks stopped him. Xu Zhiqiu next to him made him a little puzzled, and he didn't understand why Xu Zhiqiu would do this.

Pausing for two breaths, Xu Zhiqiu said: "This meat is fatty. Eating too much is not good for the spleen and stomach. There are still some days left for the journey to Beijing. Don't eat your body halfway."

Zhao Liangcai was stunned for a moment, he was about to say that he was in good health, but when his eyes met Xu Zhiqiu's sight, he swallowed back the words unconsciously, then put the chopsticks on the table, hehe said: " Then wait until Beijing to eat, this meat is really fatty, I don’t want to have diarrhea in the middle of the night, I’m still waiting for the innkeeper to give it to me.”

Gu Qingyue turned her head and glanced at Xu Zhiqiu, but she didn't move her chopsticks either. She didn't have other ideas, but she didn't like to eat fatty meat. Since she was a vegetarian with her mother since she was a child, her daily meals were very light.

But the green-clothed maid didn't care about this, she picked up a piece of vinegar-burned white meat and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks kept agitating, and then she showed a satisfied expression, nodded vigorously and said: "Miss, this meat is really delicious!" It's delicious."

The coachman also took a piece and put it in his mouth, and echoed: "The taste is really rare. I never thought that such a delicacy can be eaten in this remote place. Even if it is placed in the capital, it can attract many diners."

This statement was agreed by the guards. Because there was no room for one table, the guards sat at the next table. They also obeyed the rules. They waited until the main table moved their chopsticks before moving their chopsticks. After tasting the white meat, they all thought it was delicious.

After a while, the lame man in charge of the waiter brought a few more dishes and bowls of plain noodles. The taste was good, but it was far worse than the white meat. The guards finished eating the white meat. I still felt a little unsatisfactory, and I wanted to have another plate, but I didn't have the nerve to open my mouth when there was no movement at the main table.

All the white meat here was eaten by the coachman and maids, while Gu Qingyue and Zhao Liangcai only ate a bowl of plain noodles and green vegetables.

As for Xu Zhiqiu, he never moved his chopsticks.

Two quarters of an hour later, there were almost no tables left on both sides, and the plates were clean. When the lame man came to collect the plates, he smiled at everyone, but Xu Zhiqiu felt a little irony from this smile.

After eating, the coachman went to the stable to feed the horses some grass, Gu Qingyue and the maid went back to their room to stay, two guards stood guard at the door, and the rest of the guards watched the carriage from the yard, although the inn There are not many people inside, but you still have to watch closely, otherwise it will be difficult to get back the stolen things.

Zhao Liangcai had a room by himself this time, so he didn't need to be crowded with Xu Zhiqiu. After all, the inn was not small, and there were no other guests, so he could live in the vacant room.

Xu Zhiqiu chose a house on the third floor near the inner side. After closing the door, he was not as eager to practice as before. Instead, he stood at the window and looked down through the gap between the windows. This room has a good view. The situation in the outer courtyard of the inn can be seen clearly.

He stood and watched for a while, and saw the blind old man walking around in the yard carrying a wooden bucket, and the man on the foot of the slope cleaning the corners with a broom, and he would be chased away by the guards when he was closer to the carriage.

When the rubbish in the corner was piled up in a small pile, Xu Zhiqiu saw the innkeeper walking out of the yard alone. He opened the window completely, stared at the figure of the innkeeper, and saw her turning into the woods next to the inn.

.........

The innkeeper came to the edge of the forest. She was very familiar with the area. She walked to an old tree with a crooked neck and tapped on the trunk. The hole came out, and it waited for the little eyes to look at the innkeeper, then turned around and jumped off the branch, and ran towards the depths of the forest.

Seeing that the mouse ran far away, the shopkeeper didn't chase after it, and just waited in place.

It was estimated that a quarter of an hour later, the mouse came back again, but when it came back, it didn't run back by itself, but stood on the shoulder of a man to catch a tailwind. The man who suddenly appeared was very thin, which can be described as skinny. , if people saw it, they would think that they had escaped from other places.

Seeing the man appearing, the innkeeper smiled and said, "Why are you here?"

The man said: "They are all busy, so I'm here. What did you ask the black mouse to tell us to do, but the goods are here again?"

The shopkeeper of the inn said: "Yes, there are a few more wild boars in the Leeward Ridge, and I can make a few tables of pig feasts tonight. I think you all like to eat, so don't miss it, or don't talk about me when the time comes." Didn't remind you."

The man grinned and said: "Well, since there are wild boars, I will definitely go tonight, you should prepare more wine, you know, I like to eat meat with some wine, otherwise I can't eat it happy."

After speaking, the man turned around and wanted to leave, but just as he turned around, he turned his head and said, "I heard from Lord Shaking that Leeward Ridge is a bit unsafe recently, you'd better be careful."

The innkeeper didn't reply, just covered his mouth and laughed non-stop.

The man scolded: "Smile, smile, the whole body knows how to laugh. I really want to see if you can still laugh if you die."

After saying a word, the man left. The innkeeper touched the small head of the black mouse with his fingers, and then returned to the inn. Immediately afterwards, she raised her head, and her eyes collided with Xu Zhiqiu who was in front of the window on the third floor. .

She smiled at Xu Zhiqiu, and Xu Zhiqiu nodded in response.

.........

After closing the window, Xu Zhiqiu sat at the tea table and poured himself a cup of tea. At this moment, the sound of a kitchen knife chopping a chopping board was heard from downstairs. The sound was loud, probably chopping bones.

For some unknown reason, the sound lasted for a long time.

The back kitchen of the inn suddenly became busy.

It wasn't until evening that the sound of chopping bones gradually subsided, and a smell of boiled meat could be smelled from a long distance away.

Zhao Liangcai in the next room smelled the smell of meat and was a little hungry again. He opened the door and went downstairs. In the hall, there was only a man lying on a chair and yawning, looking listless.

He asked, "Can I have dinner now?"

The lame man glanced at him and said: "Guest officer, wait a little longer, there will be a pig-killing feast tonight, and then you can eat with your stomach open."

Pig killing feast?Zhao Liangcai was stunned for a moment, but he didn't react.
