The spring sunshine is not strong and very warm. There are very few people sitting under the wine shed, but many people are sitting in the yard and enjoying the warm sunshine.
Among these people, the tables on one side of the locust tree were those of the woman who was walking wildly across the street.
Xiao Yu carefully led the donkey and prepared to pass behind the locust tree leading to the backyard, lest the woman would cause trouble to him again.
It was not morning or lunch at this time. The people in the tavern were all tea and wine customers, and a very few people were passing by to eat.
Even so, Uncle Liu was very busy by himself. Today in the market of Yu'an Ancient Town, there were many more people passing by the tavern than before.
Xiaoyu thought:
'There are two groups of people in the courtyard in front of me. One group is the people dressed as Taoist priests, and the other group is the swordsmen who passed Yu'an.
Last month, he had found out clearly that to the east of Yu'an Town is Suzhou. The most famous generation of Jianghu people in Suzhou is a sword sect in Shaoqing Mountain, Suzhou, called the Yushan Sword Sect.
The leader of the Yushan Sword Sect is Xu Dingshan, who is upright and has a reputation for chivalry. The Yushan Sect also has a very good reputation in Suzhou.
As for the group of Taoist priests, they should be from Wuxi's Anning Temple. Anning Temple, Huatan Temple, and Yushan Sword Sect are also one of the most prestigious sects in Jiangnan.
However, the An Ning Temple Master was within the goal of his trip. '
When Xiao Yu led the donkey and was about to go around the old locust tree, Uncle Six was serving bowls and pouring tea for a few people dressed as Taoist priests.
"Xiaoyu, you're back, why don't you tie up the donkey and help!!"
Uncle Six shouted so loudly that everyone knew that the waiter was back.
"It's you!" After listening to Uncle Six's summons, the woman turned to look at the person in front of her and glared at Xiaoyu angrily.
Seeing that there was no way to escape, Xiaoyu straightened up and replied seriously: "It's me! What's wrong?" After saying that, he led the donkey to the backyard.
The people in the courtyard were those from the Yushan Sword Sect and An Ningguan. The person who had apologized to Xiao Yu was Xu Dingshan, the head of the Yushan Sword Sect, and the pretty woman was his only daughter Xu Jing.
Yixing Taoist is a person of tranquility, and the master of meditation is Luo Congsheng.
Luo Congsheng is also about forty years old, with a round face, long eyebrows, a flat nose, and small eyes. On one side of him is the chief disciple of An Ning Guan, named Zhang Ding. He is twenty-seven or eight years old, with a square face, thick eyebrows and a broad nose, and is fair-skinned.
Both groups of people were invited by Kongxing, the abbot of Huatan Temple, to go to Huatan Temple to discuss how to deal with the evil Jiangnan sect Ji Ruge.
"Jing'er, sit down, don't cause trouble for me and make people laugh." Xu Dingshan glared at Xu Jing angrily.
Xu Jing frowned and pouted: "Oh, dad!!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Xu Dingshan's eyes, which were serious and angry, and had to sit down quietly.
There is a peaceful temple in the same place as Luo Congcheng.
Both groups of people passed by Liushu's Tavern and met here by chance. Although the heads of the two sects did not have close friendships, they were old acquaintances. They were both invited by Huatan Temple, so they got together.
Luo Congsheng took his first disciples Zhang Ding and Xu Dingshan to the same table as his daughter Xu Jing, and then they talked about old times and had tea, preparing to go to Huatan Temple together.
Luo Congsheng, the leader of Anning Temple, saw that Xu Jing recognized the waiter, and asked curiously: "Why, Xu Jing's niece knows the new waiter in this pub?"
Xu Jing curled her lips. Her father spoke again, and she was too embarrassed to act in front of the guests, so she had to sit down and sulk.
"Uncle Robert, I don't know him, it's just a little fun." Xu Jing replied.
"What's wrong? Do you need uncle to give you justice?" Luo Congsheng looked at Xu Jing and asked as if to comfort his niece.
Xu Jing looked at Luo Congsheng's kind greetings and was about to speak when she was glared at by Xu Dingshan from the side and had to shut up.
Xu Dingshan clasped his fists and faced Luo Congsheng and replied: "Guanzhu Luo is serious. My little girl is cute and pretty. She offended the little brother when we were crossing the street. It was all a trivial matter. It has already passed and cannot be ignored. Drink tea, drink tea!" He said After that, he made a gesture of please.
Luo Congsheng had no intention of standing up, but just wanted to say hello out of dignity. At this time, Xu Dingshan said, he walked down the steps, picked up the teacup,
"Oh, that's it, that's all. Brother Xu, please!" Luo Congsheng replied.
Xu Jing knew that her father was going to Huatan Temple to discuss important matters, so she did not dare to say anything more, so she could only sit there with her mouth curled up and sulking, without drinking any tea.
backyard.
Several teapots were steaming on the stove, and Uncle Six came in carrying an empty teapot.
Xiao Yu just happened to tie the donkey to a poplar tree a few feet away. Uncle Liu dropped the empty teapot on the stone slab, picked up another pot of hot tea and went out.
When I went out, I didn't forget to tell him: "Xiaoyu, fill this pot with water and boil it too."
Xiaoyu tied up the donkey, boiled water, and went out to help.
He carried another pot of boiling water, casually grabbed a handful of dry white tea leaves from the tea jar on one side and threw them in.
After leaving the backyard, I just stepped into the wine shed.
Uncle Liu was serving drinks with a bamboo ladle to several tables of guests who were asking for drinks. Xiao Yu took a table cloth and covered it on his left shoulder. He put the newly brewed teapot on the teapot board and grabbed another pot that had been brewed. Go out and see if there are any guests who want more tea.
I just stood on the steps of the courtyard in front of the wine shed.
"Waiter! More tea!!"
The voice was clear and soft, but a little louder. Xiao Yu looked over and saw that it was the woman who called herself a donkey in the market.
Xiaoyu frowned and thought to herself, this girl has a bad temper. She doesn't know what kind of obstacles she will put in her way. If she draws out her sword again and wants to kill someone, he won't be able to resist.
At that moment, I had no choice but to say "Hello" and rush over to get some tea.
Xu Dingshan and Luo Congshenggui were the leaders of the two sects. They each drank their own tea and ate the side dishes on the table. They asked Xu Jing for tea without saying much.
Xiaoyu added tea to their table, carefully guarding against Xu Jing mischief.
After adding tea, Xiaoyu was about to check if there were any guests around who wanted to add tea or food. As soon as she took a step forward, she saw Xu Jing's right foot moving slightly.
Xiao Yu was originally Ji Ruge, and Ji Ruge was originally a top-notch killer, with powers of observation and speed that were unmatched by ordinary people. How could Xiao Yu not see Xu Jing's little thoughts?
In his mind: Xiao Yu is just a little ruffian who seems to be glib and has no boundaries, just living as a second brother, while Ji Ruge is a taciturn and neat killer.
With the art of disguising one's bones, one can perfectly exploit this difference in identity. No one can doubt that the number one killer on the seventh floor, who is feared by people in the world, is actually the same person as such a waiter.
Now, he is just Xiaoyu.
At present, Luo Congsheng, the leader of Anning Temple in Wuxi, and Xu Dingshan of Suzhou Yushan Sword Sect are both masters of martial arts. If I use Qinggong to avoid it, no matter how well I conceal it, I am afraid that the two masters will find out the clues.
Therefore, the best concealment is not to conceal it.
It's better to fall down peacefully. Firstly, this arrogant girl will vent her emotions and maybe she won't cause trouble for her. Secondly, if she doesn't show her martial arts, her identity will not be suspected.
Xiaoyu carried the ceramic teapot, pretended not to notice the movements of Xu Jing's feet, turned around and left.
Xu Jing was born as the daughter of the head of the Yushan Sword Sect, so she naturally has some kung fu. She is naturally faster than ordinary people when she stretches out her feet. In addition, she has a foundation in martial arts. As soon as she moves her feet, she can perform basic kick skills. The crossbar is 'joined with leaves', designed to trip others up.
Xiaoyu tripped under his feet, staggered and threw himself out with a sound of "ah".
The teapot in his hand fell to the ground and shattered into pieces, leaving water stains and tea leaves all over the place.
When Xu Jing saw that Xiao Yu had been successfully attacked by her, she immediately picked up the tea in her hands and feet, pretended not to know, took a sip of tea, and sat upright.
"Oh, why did you fall?" Xu Jing deliberately pretended to be surprised, turned around and looked at Xiao Yu who was getting up from the ground in a panic, and asked, "How is it, little brother, are you okay?"
Seeing this, a table of passing peasant tea-goers behind him hurriedly turned around to help Xiao Yu.
"Little brother, are you okay?"
Xiaoyu shook the tea in her hand and replied to the two old men and Xu Jing who were trying to help her: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way. I was just careless."
Xiao Yu glanced coldly at Xu Jing, who still pretended not to know what was going on.
Xu Jing responded with a proud and complacent expression, as if there was nothing you could do to me.
Xiaoyu took a deep breath, patted the dust on herself with her hands, and said to herself, 'That's all! ! '.
Seeing that he was fine, the two men returned to their tables and continued eating.
Xu Dingshan and Luo Congsheng were both drinking tea, so they naturally caught a glimpse of Xu Jing's mischievous actions.
Xu Dingshan knew that his daughter was spoiled by his wife. He scolded her several times along the way but did not repent.
At this time, Tiaozi offended the waiter in the shop. Seeing that she looked proud, as long as no one was hurt, the waiter seemed to be fine, so he didn't say much, so he turned a blind eye and passed it by. stop.
When he was at the market, he cursed loudly, but he was still worried that if this girl went back and told his wife, he would inevitably get scolded. Let her be proud here. Her daughter will be in a good mood and won't talk too much.
Luo Congsheng is the leader of a sect, so naturally he won't care about this little boy's quarrels.
Uncle Liu heard the noise, took the bamboo ladle he was using to scoop out the wine, and couldn't help scooping out the wine, so he hurriedly ran out of the wine shed to have a look.
When he saw that something was wrong with Xiao Yu, he scolded: "Little bastard, are you so careless? It's a pity that I have such a good clay pot, so hurry up and pack it away. The money for the clay pot will be deducted from your wages this month!" !”
Xiaoyu sighed, pretended to be careless, hurriedly picked up the debris on the ground, and went to the backyard.
Uncle Liu held a bamboo ladle in his hand and said to the guests around the tables: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, my waiter has just arrived and is very stupid. I made everyone laugh. Let's continue eating. Eat, eat, if you need anything, just call me."
The guests at the surrounding tables listened to Uncle Liu's words, and one of them, a simple man who was collecting firewood and passing by for tea, said: "It's not in the way, it's not in the way, and it doesn't hurt anyone."
Uncle Liu smiled and said, "Thank you, thank you." After that, he continued to scoop the wine.
