Chapter 2 Yangshan Yan Family(2/2)

The snow was too heavy, and the snow on the small street was thick with knees. The drunkards entering and leaving dragged a long groove on the snow surface to a tavern in the middle of the small street.

The tavern is clean inside and outside and does not look old, but an old plaque is hanging on the door, which is a bit old. The whole thing is black under the wind and rain. Only the three words "Feng Siniang" can be vaguely seen.

Tang Jingwen liked his small wine shop very much. He thought he had met his colleagues in this foreign country, so he wanted to remind Zuo Lingquan to be careful and not drink a few sips of wine, so he went to hook up with the coquettish little wine girl.

But when several people walked outside the steps of the tavern, they found that there were no women in the tavern, only a few drinkers, and a shabby old man wearing old clothes.

The old man didn't look very concerned about dressing up. He held his hair casually with a wooden stick on his head, and drooped a few pieces. He was wearing a thick gray jacket and a white-washed robe. He stood next to the counter, holding a cigarette pole in one hand and pouring fried peanuts into the plate with a spoon in the other. The guest didn't raise his eyebrows when he came in.

"grumble?"

The dumplings hiding in Tang Jingying's arms were very dissatisfied with this and looked at Tang Jingying, saying, "Just like this, dare to do business?" Unfortunately, Tang Jingying immediately pressed back.

When Xie Qiutao saw such a bad old man, he also frowned secretly.

Yan Ge seemed to be accustomed to this and called out after entering the door;

"Shopkeeper Zheng, long time no see."

Manager Zheng, who was holding the cigarette rod in his mouth, did not look back, but his words were warm:

"Captain Yan, find a place to sit casually. By the way, you are eating wine at the beginning of the year and are busy with business. You forgot to pay for a plate of peanuts..."

"Shopkeeper Zheng still has such a good memory. Didn't I come here to check out the bill? I also brought a few friends. Don't hide the best wine. If these friends return home in disgrace, they will have to cause trouble for you..."

Manager Zheng looked back and seemed to have seen people coming and going. Without stopping for a long time, he turned around and went to the stove, holding a cigarette pole and warmed wine with one hand.

Although his attitude was not very good, Tang Jingyan could see that the old man had been running an old shop for quite some time, and he was so sophisticated that he could not put wine into the wine pot. The four wine pots were exactly the same, and it was probably not a drop or a drop.

Zuo Lingquan sat down against the wine table beside the stove. He was quite curious about this place and asked:

"Shopkeeper, why is the name of this store called 'Feng Siniang'?"

Manager Zheng probably heard too much about this question and said casually:

"If you don't give this name, why are you young people curious to run in and see what's going on?"

“…?”

Zuo Lingquan was stunned for a moment.

Yan Ge, who was roasting fire by the stove, smiled and said:

"Don't listen to the nonsense of Manager Zheng. I asked when I first came here, that's not what he said. Manager Zheng, I'll talk to a few friends, do you have no objection?"

Manager Zheng vomited a cigarette ring and stopped paying attention to Yan Ge.

Yan Ge was quite interested and said seriously from the side:

"Don't underestimate Manager Zheng. He was a man who was in the world back then, but unfortunately he didn't make a name for himself and almost starved to death in the middle of winter. Fortunately, at the most downturn, he met a lady who runs a tavern. Manager Zheng saw it and said, "Oh, hey! He is beautiful and has rich family. If he is flattering, why are you still going to the world..."

Dong

Manager Zheng brought the peanuts up and placed them heavily on the table, interrupting Yan Ge's words:

"What a mess, what I'm talking about to you?"

"Is that what it means..."

...

Tang Jingwen and Xie Qiutao were obviously interested in this story. Seeing that the words were interrupted, Xie Qiutao interrupted:

"What's the result? Which lady did Manager Zheng flatter and didn't he? "

Manager Zheng sat down on a stool next to the stove, and his eyes signaled to the tavern:

"Why should I sit here as a shopkeeper if I don't favor me? But it's not as unbearable as this kid said. At that time, I was a famous young man in all corners of the country. Like this little brother, I loved playing swords."

"oh?"

Zuo Lingquan was a little surprised. He looked at Manager Zheng's hand, but did not see the calluses left by holding the sword for many years.

"I don't look like an embroidered pillow. I haven't touched a sword for decades and can't tell anything. In fact, I didn't practice anything back then. I relied on some martial arts to make peace with people everywhere...

"But this world is greater than you think, and the abilities of others are higher than you think. With a chivalrous heart, he is chivalrous and righteous, and believes that God will not have any trouble, but God is not chivalrous in his heart and treats everyone equally. Such a naughty man is most likely to die halfway.

"I was like this back then. I didn't think there was a big dragon hidden between the streets and alleys, so I walked over with my sword. As a result, I met a Jianzi, who broke one leg and one arm with only three punches and two kicks, and threw it in the alley to wait for death.

"At that time, it was similar to what is now outside. When I was about to freeze to death, my later wife picked it up. The injury was cured. I owed a lot of debts. I just worked as a small worker to pay the money. I became the shopkeeper as a payer..."

...

Zuo Lingquan listened quietly. He wanted to ask where the boss's wife had gone, but when he saw Manager Zheng's age, he was probably dead, so he didn't ask.

Manager Zheng said for a moment, and saw that the few people didn't listen to the advice of these people, so he stopped talking.

When the wine was warm, Manager Zheng put the wine on the table and said:

"Captain Yan, what happened to you when you ran away at the beginning of the year?"

"Oh, I still have no clue..."

"I haven't heard of this evil incident. It's useful to invite a real god. You can run around the streets all day long, what can you run out?"

"I can't find the gods, I'll go long ago if I can find them."

"A few days ago, I came to the table of winery and said that there was a villa in the west. I dug out an old item and many outsiders came to buy it. I guess I dug out some good things and let the gods notice it. If you go there, you may find the gods..."

Zuo Lingquan was pouring wine, and when he heard this, his eyes were a little surprised.

Xie Qiutao was obviously interested and asked:

"What's the matter?"

"I don't know, it seems to be a small tower, it is said to be shiny and colorful, and I don't know whether it is true or not..."

A magic weapon that can emit five colors of light means that the five elements are all complete, and it is not an immortal weapon or a top-grade magic weapon.

Xie Qiutao was a little surprised. He blinked his eyes and looked at Zuo Lingquan, and he obviously wanted to ask if he wanted to go over and take a look.

Zuo Lingquan was naturally interested, but Yan Ge's family was almost destroyed. He showed up and asked about the situation for a long time, then turned around and ran to find irrelevant opportunities and magic weapons, which felt that it was not appropriate.
