This is a ferry by the river.
A large river more than thirty feet wide passes between the two mountains. Because the water flow is gentle and convenient for boating, it gradually became a ferry crossing from north to south. Over time, some people specialized in fishing, boating, and trading. Today, more than ten families have gathered on both sides of the river bank. Under the old trees on the river embankment, a row of thatched huts were built to sell drinks and food for passers-by to rest and tiptoe.
On this day, there were three more old men in front of the ferry. The three of them did not rush to cross the river. Instead, they sat down around a bluestone in front of the wine shop on the bank.
The so-called wine shop is just a few thatched sheds. There were several baskets and planks placed near the door, with nothing more than local products such as wild fruits on them. Under the tree in front of the door, there are more than a dozen wine jars piled up. An old couple busy with their business must be the shopkeepers of the wine shop. Unfortunately, the place is too shabby, with only a few stones used as tables and stools.
However, the three old men were very interested. Especially the stout old man with a white beard. Just as he was about to sit down, he raised his hand and slapped the bluestone with a bang, bang, and shouted impatiently: "I tell the shopkeeper, if you want to eat and drink well, just give it to the tiger." Bring it..." Suddenly he saw the golden-bearded old man opposite him glare, and he hurriedly changed his words: "I am the third master, Lin San's third, and the master of Master Hu. This is the second master Lin, and this second master. Uncle Lin..."
The silver-bearded old man known as Uncle Lin frowned and scolded: "You can't be less wordy, lest the world doesn't know what happened?"
The golden-bearded old man whispered: "Boss, that guy with the tiger head loves to get into trouble by nature, don't get along with him!"
These three old men are exactly Lin Yi, Lao Long and Hu Tou after changing their appearance.
The three brothers walked underground for half a day but couldn't find their way, so they had to show up to check. I happened to see mortals gathering here, so I stopped by. Although they have different temperaments, their drinking habits are the same. If you can have a good drink and don't pry for information, wouldn't you kill two birds with one stone? In order to avoid leaking the news and being noticed by others, for the sake of caution, Lin Yi became Lin Da, Lao Long changed his name to Lin Er, and Hutou became the bottom Lin San...
Hutou saw Lao Long helping him to speak, and grinned widely: "Yeah! Second brother still loves me..." He squirmed his buttocks, as if he couldn't sit still, and yelled again: "I'm talking about the shopkeeper, My throat is filled with smoke, why don’t I serve the wine quickly..."
No wonder this guy is excited! In addition to changing his appearance, he also changed his name, and he was accompanied by the boss and the old dragon. Sneaking into the hinterland of Qianhuang like this is thrilling and full of unpredictable changes. In his words, it was pretty damn interesting!
Where the ferry is located, there are not many pedestrians. It takes an hour or two to ferry back and forth. There are often a few small boats leaning sideways, and three or five people sitting on the shore to watch the scenery. But there are only a few people who have time to drink.
The old man in charge of the shop came up with a wine jar and put it down, then turned back and went back to get the wine bowl. He was sixty or seventy years old, with deep wrinkles and an aged appearance. No matter how loudly the tiger head urged him, he just smiled humbly and acted slowly.
The tiger head still wanted to call out, but was stopped by Lin Yiyi's eyes, but he took the opportunity to grab the wine jar on the bluestone board and said with a smile: "I'm afraid there is no good wine here, let me have a taste..." He was not polite and picked up the wine jar. He took a swig from the wine jar, and when he vomited out the alcohol, he couldn't help but his eyes flashed and he said, "Huh? It's quite a drink..."
At this time, the shopkeeper left and returned. He put down three wine bowls and two plates of dried fruits, cracked his toothless mouth and said with a smile: "This wine is brewed from grains in the mountains. It is famous in Jiuqudu, also known as Jiuqu Brewing. On an auspicious day of the zodiac, There are so many people traveling, so the business of the small shop is good! It’s a bit deserted today, so you may as well use it slowly..."
Hutou disliked the shopkeeper's verbosity, pushed the wine bowl away, and ordered: "Bring all the shochu under the tree, my brother wants to drink from the jar..." As he spoke, he did not forget to pick up the wine. He picked up two wild fruits and threw them into his mouth, but he swallowed them whole and stared: "It's tasteless and tasteless, how can it be as delicious as a fat sheep..."
That is a local sour fruit. How can you taste it without chewing it?
The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment and then said: "I want this old man to know that although Jiuqu Brewing is good, it should not be overdosed. Moreover, each jar is expensive, and customers can only drink two bowls at most..."
Who is the elder brother? I am Brother Tiger! Besides, a dozen jars of mountain village wine can fetch a huge price?
Hutou was not happy anymore, his face darkened, and he scolded: "You are such a boring shopkeeper. You only sell wine, so why don't you pay less for it..." He now has tens of thousands of crystals in his pocket, and he has even looted. of many magic weapons. Since they have deep pockets, rich people are willful!
The shopkeeper was a little confused. He hesitated and said, "Jiuqu Niang is priced at one bead per jar. If the three of you insist on this, I will go and bring the wine here."
This time, it was Hu Tou who was confused and said: "What beads? Please explain to me clearly..."
The shopkeeper had to stop and said separately: "Jiuquwan has always used mussel beads in the river as barter, and they have different qualities due to their different qualities. The three of you only need to accept fifteen ordinary beads to open the shop. I bought all the wine I had in stock and gave the sour fruit as a gift..."
The tiger head put down the wine jar in his arms with a "snatching" sound, spread out his hands, and said frankly: "I have everything I want, but no beads. Aren't you deliberately trying to embarrass me?"
The shopkeeper suddenly became embarrassed and said with a slightly sullen look: "Is this old man joking? This has always been the rule, and I will never deceive you. And we are similar in age, how can you consider yourself an elder..." His eyes fell. On Lao Long and Lin Yi, he shook his head and said: "I think the three of you are from other places, so it's not strange if you don't know. And pay for the drinks, and have a nice trip!"
It’s time to see off guests! But before leaving, he had to leave the money for the drink.
Hutou didn't accept this trick at all, and cursed: "Old man, bastard, who is the same age as your mother..."
Lin Yi had been looking at the situation around the ferry, but he didn't expect that the trouble would end in a blink of an eye. He glanced at the old dragon beside him, then coughed slightly and said, "Lin San, no foul language!"
Hutou was stunned for a moment, and then he realized who Lin San was. He snorted angrily and had no choice but to give up, but he held the wine jar in his arms, clearly looking like he was grabbing food and drinks. And over drinking, he actually got into a quarrel with an old mortal man, and his true nature as a fool was revealed!
Lin held his long beard with one hand, turned around and smiled slightly, and said: "Shopkeeper, please don't get angry! I don't know if I can use anything else besides beads..."
Seeing Lin Yi's extraordinary demeanor and scolding his companion, the shopkeeper also changed his expression. But before the other party finished speaking, he seemed to have been fooled, and then replied "No", turned around and left. When he trembled and walked to the old woman guarding the wine shop, he muttered to himself as if he was still angry: "I have never seen such a barbaric behavior in eight villages in ten miles..."
Everyone has a temper! The seemingly weak old shopkeeper was quite angry, which shows that he was also a hot-tempered man when he was young!
The old woman stretched out her hand to support and comfort him. After a while, she left the shopkeeper behind and walked slowly to the back of the house alone...
Lin Yi looked embarrassed and smiled bitterly.
A pair of old men opened a shop to sell wine. They didn't need gold or silver, they just wanted beads from the river. Unfortunately, none of the three brothers had this kind of thing, so they became unscrupulous people in each other's eyes. Even if you have the ability to reach heaven, what can you do? If you don’t know how to do as the Romans do, you will lose all sense!
"Gudu, Gudu..."
Hutou didn't care at all and just drank. In the blink of an eye, the jar of wine was empty. He threw the empty wine jar casually, laughed, looked back and said with a smile: "There are still more than ten jars under the tree..." This guy didn't want to finish, and he was planning to sweep away the old shopkeeper's wine collection.
Lin lost interest in drinking early in the morning and stood up with a flick of his sleeves. Before he could stop Hu Tou, he frowned slightly.
At this moment, someone emerged from behind the thatched hut and shouted loudly: "Whoever dares to bully my father will seek death..."
He was a strong man in his thirties or forties, tall, with a thick beard and sharp eyes. He wears an animal skin around his waist, carries a rucksack on his shoulders, and holds a large bow. He is clearly dressed for a long hunting trip. But at this moment, he was angry and murderous!
In an instant, the old lady who had just left also appeared silently.
No need to think too much, the shopkeeper’s son came to demand justice!
Hutou and Laolong stood up.
Although the man was strong and powerful, he was still a human being. And his sharp scolding caused quite a stir. At the same time, people from far and near gradually gathered around to watch the excitement...
Hutou raised his hand and pointed, and opened his mouth to scold: "Son, no one here bullies your father, if you dare to use f**king rude words again, I..."
Lin Yi took two steps forward and glanced coldly.
Hutou immediately shut up and shook his head innocently.
Lin Yi turned around and smiled lightly, stroking his beard and said: "Elders, please don't be rude at this time!"
After the man appeared, he was looking around angrily. When his eyes fell on the three old men beside the bluestone, he couldn't help but be stunned. My mother only said that someone made my father angry, but she didn’t make it clear who the person was. He looked at Lin Yi for a moment and said in surprise: "It turns out that the three of you are disrespectful..."
Lin Yi shook his head, raised his hand, took out something, threw it over, and said: "Although my brother is rude, he is not unreasonable. It is only because he first arrived here that he misunderstood me. This is the Night Pearl, Can you use it as wine money..." When he saw the shopkeeper asking for beads, he knew it was not good. There are many treasures on the body, but there are no ordinary things like clam beads. Fortunately, finding a luminous pearl from the Qiankun Ring might be able to get around it.
The man had sharp eyesight and quick hands, and he grabbed the flying objects. When he opened his palms, he stared slightly. An earth-yellow bead the size of a bird's egg looks ordinary, but it is round and dignified, and seems to be quite extraordinary...
Lin Yi put his hands on his back and continued patiently: "The Night Pearl, as the name suggests, can only appear at night. If you don't know it, you can ask others to identify the authenticity..."
The man stared at the beads in his hand for a moment, his eyes shining slightly. After a while, he put the pearl into his arms and said with a smile: "There is still a surplus of wine money, you might as well buy all the dozen jars of wine under the tree..." As if something was wrong, he turned back to the wine shop. The shopkeeper and his wife in front of the door shouted: "My son is going to travel far, please take care of yourself..."
The shopkeeper sighed and complained: "Son! It's dangerous to kill the dragon. You can't go..." But he couldn't stay, and the man was already striding towards the ferry.
Seeing this situation, Lin Yi, Lao Long and Hu Tou looked at each other in confusion.
It was surprising that the country man actually recognized Ye Mingzhu. Kill the dragon...
