Chapter 91: Tribulation

The carriage stopped behind a caravan shop on the side of the road. It was in the middle of nowhere, but it was an important place for caravans to sell goods. The caravan shop was opened specifically for these people.

I have traveled around the country, mixed in the north and the south, and can eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, so I can naturally get into this small mountain shop.

There are guest rooms, rooms with straw huts, where you can wrap yourself in a mat or some makeshift clothes and sleep;

There is food and meat, which smells delicious.

At this moment,

the blind man was sitting in front of this big pot of "meat dishes", holding two steamed buns in his hand.

Ding Heng and Cui Linfeng were eating happily from the pot with the spoons given by the store. They both had big steamed buns in their hands. They had two mouthfuls of food and one big mouthful of steamed bun. So delicious.

This is caravan cuisine, but this caravan cuisine is completely different from what the blind man knows...

"What, you can't get used to it?"

The Sword Master is worthy of being a swordsman, and his skills are very fast and very good. With precision, he scooped out a big meatball from the big pot with a click, put it into his mouth, and then took another mouthful of steamed buns.

"Huh..."

The sword master let out a long sigh of contentment and seemed very satisfied.

This feeling is the same as Sichuan people finally eating authentic hotpot when they return home after not having it for a long time.

The blind man swallowed. The spoon was in his hand, but he couldn't put it down.

It’s not that I dislike everyone sitting together and eating without public chopsticks. The blind man is not that particular. After all, he is on the road, and having a hot bite of food is really a great treat.

If you want to rush on your way, you can't figure out where you will stop today and eat tomorrow.

But the problem is that there is something wrong with this big pot of food. The owner of the shop specially collected the leftovers from a restaurant and inn in a small city more than ten miles away. After transporting them back, he mixed them together and cooked them. I ordered a smorgasbord, which is Jindi's caravan cuisine. Because people who rely on their feet to eat generally have limited living conditions, but want to eat some food, they specially pointed to this.

Sometimes the food will inevitably go rancid, but the store owners also have a way to do it, just like selling mutton skewers in later generations. They put more aniseed ingredients in it, and the smell will be covered up, leaving only the fragrance. .

This method of selling money is also interesting. It counts according to where the spoon is, how many spoons you have poured, and finally the money is collected based on this, which is similar to the counting of bamboo sticks in later generations.

So when you take this spoonful, you really have to pay attention to it. You feel like you are making money when you fish out the meat. If you fish out a few vegetable leaves, tusk...

The sword master eats it to a great extent. He was so happy that the blind man couldn't help but wonder if the sword master's master brought him here specifically to practice swordsmanship when he was a child.

It makes sense to know everything about everything. Who said you can't practice swordsmanship with a spoon? No sword in handJust have a sword in your heart.

With all these messy things in his mind, the blind man did not dare to eat them. He asked for a bowl of hot water from the store, squatted on the edge and slowly ate the steamed buns.

Finally,

Ding Heng and Cui Linfeng over there finished eating first. The sword master continued to fight, and the store owner’s young son stared at him with wide eyes. Juggernaut's movements.

The Juggernaut's spoons began to become more and more excessive. He was no longer satisfied with just one spoonful, but hooked it up again and again. With this spoon, what he pulled out was seven or eight times as much as a full spoon. .

The younger son was about to burst into tears just looking at it. The man in front of him took out this big pot of carabao food, but he couldn’t make back his money. The people coming behind him looked at it If you can't even see any meat, who would want to sit down and continue fishing?

The shop owner was an old but energetic old man. He looked at this but was not angry. He just silently brought another bowl of rice wine.

"I didn't order any wine." The sword master said.

"It's a gift. You raise your hand to take it."

The sword master nodded, took the wine bowl, took a sip of wine, put down the spoon, shook his head, and sighed. Said:

“I haven’t had this taste in many years, I’m really panicking about it.”

“No.” The old shop owner responded with a smile.

The sword master reached out and touched the head of the shop owner’s youngest son and asked:

“How many spoons?”

“Twenty.”

"It's obviously eighteen." The sword master corrected.

The shopkeeper’s youngest son pouted and looked at the sword master.

The Sword Master touched his pocket and said:

"Forget the other two together. By the way, the blind man didn't even take a spoonful."

The sword master gave the money, took the bamboo stick, and walked back to the carriage while picking his teeth.

There was a man lying behind the carriage, his face covered in blood, his right arm was broken, he was not dead, but he was already dying.

"Sir, this thief wants to take advantage of us to enter the store and touch our carriage."

Ding Heng reported.

The carriage is right next to the shop. Those who eat here, not to mention Ding Heng, Cui Linfeng, are all veterans. The blind man even has his own radar. There is also a majestic swordsman sitting here, planning to steal this car. The carriage, this thief, is also capable of memorizing words.

In the carriage, the child started crying again.

Ding Heng hurriedly picked up the child. As soon as he hugged him, the child stopped crying.

"Hehe."

The sword master smiled, looked at the blind man, and said:

"Tell me about the son of the Marquis, he is really strange. , no matter how much others hug him, he will cry non-stop, but when he hugs this big man with a smelly sweat and a swollen face, he stops crying and smiles. "

The blind man said:

"The son of the Marquis likes murder."

"What about me? I killAre there not many more people than his surname Ding? "

The blind man shook his head and said: "Sir, you only have extremely pure sword energy in your body, and no murderous aura. The murderous aura has been refined by you a long time ago. "

"You guys, you used to be a fortune teller, right? "

"My lord is wise, you have seen all this. "

"I have been traveling around the world for some years, and there are not many people who can speak like you. ”

“My lord, you are so complimentary.” "

The blind man felt helpless. These days, he really relies on flattery to make a living. There are six more people who are as miserable as himself.

"You are all full. Hit the road. "Juggernaut shouted.

The carriage was on the road again.

Ding Heng was still sitting in the carriage holding the child, Cui Linfeng was inside ready to breastfeed, and the blind man and the Sword Master were driving.< /p>

“I haven’t eaten a bite. ”

“I was naughty when I was a kid, it’s a sin. "The blind man said apologetically.

It is really disrespectful to others to share "childhood delicacies" or "local specialties" with you, but you don't eat a bite.

“Yes. "

"The world is bored and likes to judge the four great swordsmen. To be honest, among the four great swordsmen, Li Liangshen can eat this one, but they can't eat the other two. ”

“It is well known that the food in Zhenbeihou’s mansion is bland. It is said that on the day Zhenbeihou entered Beijing, he ate four or five ducks in one sitting. "

" Haha, yes, but did you know that Li Liangshen only ate a little blandly? This blandness is just a little different from the delicacies of the real rich and powerful, but he has been treated by the Hou Mansion since he was a child. As an adopted son, no matter how bad his life was, how could it be worse? ”

“That’s the truth. ”

“Let’s talk about Baili Feng of Nagan Kingdom. Everyone thinks that he became prosperous only when he sailed to Beijing in white clothes and was worshiped as the prince’s martial arts master by the official family of Nagan Kingdom. In fact, his Baili family I am from Jiangnan, and my family has thousands of hectares of fertile land. ”

“I see, I really don’t know. "

"Besides, the man from Chu State was originally a great nobleman of Chu State, and his family's fiefdom was not small at all, so he had the leisure to devote decades to making swords. "

The blind man immediately said:

"Only your Excellency, are you from a rough background? "

If people want to express their emotions, you have to help build a ladder.

"Cao Mang is really out of the question. My surname is Yu, the surname of the emperor of Jin Dynasty, but the emperor of the Yu family a few years ago Everyone can see clearly what life is like for me, a side branch. To be honest, my father and mother passed away early when I was young, and my brother and I often didn’t even have enough to eat. "

"So, sir, among the four great swordsmen, I have always admired you the most. You are really inspiring. ”

“Oh, that’s why people in the world comment on our four swords. Each has its own destiny and its own merits, but everyone knows, the swords of the three of them and I take completely different paths. "

"Sir, how dare you..."

"How dare you? You are not timid at all. You took off my brother's head, you dared to catch up with his brother's car, and you dared to sit next to his brother and walk for so many days. "

"..." Blind man.

"Afraid? "

"That is a matter on the battlefield, and everyone has his own master. "The flattery on the blind man's face faded away, leaving only a touch of indifference.

"This is how you should have come. Don't tell me, you are quite handsome. "

The blind man suddenly felt a chill on his back.

The hobbies of the Jin people are really...

"After the Yan army withdrew, I went to experience Before Tiancheng, I went back to Gyeonggi. Have you ever been there and had a bowl of broth? A long-established store.

The blind man thought for a while and said, "Sure enough, being naughty will definitely cause trouble." ”

That night, the Yan army pacified the Jin army in the capital.

The blind man and the demon kings worked together to kill Yu Huacheng. Liang Cheng took the head to report his merits, while the blind man knocked I opened a time-honored broth shop in the city, which is said to have been passed down for hundreds of years. I drank a bowl of broth with the smell of blood still lingering on my body, and took another sip of the delicacies with historical heritage. It’s in line with the petty bourgeoisie that blind people like.

“I often go to that store. The sword master said, "How does it taste?" ”

“It tastes really good. "

"Oh, let's do it this way, I believe everyone is their own master. My revenge, my brother's death, even if I blame Tian Wujing, I don't want to pursue others. Otherwise, it would be unrealistic for me to kill tens of thousands of Jingnan troops by myself. "

"Thank you, sir. "

"But since you came to the door, I won't be polite. You have to answer, what is the difference between my sword and the three of them? The answer is correct. Everything is fine. Answer No, keep your life. "

The blind man took a deep breath,

without thinking much,

slowly said:

"Chu made swords The master's sword is too craftsmanlike; the Baili family's sword is too noble; Li Liangshen's sword is too violent, but you, sir..."

"What kind of anger am I? ”

“Earth energy. ”

“Oh? ”

“It’s not flattery. The reason why Mrs. Jingnan Hou dares to hand over her child to you is that it is obvious that a gentleman can be bullied. However, this is also the most respectable thing about you. The trust of enemies is a kind of reality in itself. ”

“Yes, even though it’s not flattery, these words are more helpful to me than flattery. You can hear it.” "

"Huh? Smell something? ”

“Don’t you smell it? "

"What do you smell? "

The sword master pointed forward and stopped the carriage at the same time,

"It's so noble. ”

On one side of the road, come out aA woman, wearing a dark yellow dress, holding a sword in her hand.

"Thyme orchid?" said the blind man.

"Hey, you know a lot of interesting people."

"I've met her before. I know her, but she doesn't know me."

The Sword Master pointed at the thyme orchid in front of him,

and said to the blind man:

"Look, we haven't showered in several days because we were on the road, and people came to rob us. You can actually burn incense and take a bath before walking out into a clean dress. Looking at the shoes again, they were not stained with much mud after walking out of the mud.

This is so noble."

Thyme Lan stood in front of the sword,

and said;

"Thyme Lan, I have seen the sword of Jin Dynasty. Holy."

The sword master leaned back slightly,

waved his hand,

said:

"Girl, you recognized the wrong person. ."

Thyme Lan said:

"I didn't expect that the swordsman of Jin would also like to joke in front of women."

"I'm not kidding. The Sword Master of the Jin Kingdom is here."

"Aren't you?"

"But the Jin Kingdom died long ago."
