Bai Gu and others were stunned, and immediately turned their attention to the figure lying on the ground at the door.
Except Bai Xiaoxiao who continued to dig into the "hill" in the bowl.
The man was wearing a mink coat, and the felt hat he was wearing fell not far in front of him, revealing his messy and dirty hair. There were snowflakes all over his body and head, and coupled with the fact that he was lying on the ground panting, he looked very embarrassed.
There was originally a small bundle tied to the man's body, but because he had just fallen down, many of the things inside fell out and scattered on the ground.
Writing brush, booklet, dry food, chili pepper, garlic, fire breakers, and a few stones.
There are a lot of things, they are all normal, but when put together they are very strange.
Bai Gu had put down his chopsticks and put one hand on the table to protect Bai Xiaoxiao. The other hand hangs down, supporting the stool, ready to take out the candlelight from the Sumeru beads and start shooting at any time.
Wang Xizhou also looked at the man on the ground with interest and some curiosity. Although he was not as tense as Bai Gu, Wang Xizhou still held a pair of chopsticks in his hands, but his spiritual power was also quietly moving.
As long as there is something strange about the man on the ground, the pair of wooden chopsticks in Wang Xizhou's hand will be two arrows.
The young shopkeeper looked at the man, stretched out his hand and gestured to Ah Quan and Ah Qi, and the two of them went to the kitchen together.
The two of them quickly walked out of the kitchen.
Ah Quan held a bowl of warm boiled water and walked towards the man on the ground at the door, reaching out to help him up.
Ah Qi also walked quickly towards the man and helped pack the luggage that the man had dropped on the ground.
But when Ah Qi passed by the young shopkeeper, she quickly handed him something.
It's a hatchet.
Ah Quan and Ah Qi also had hatchets stuck behind them.
Ah Quan helped the man sit up and let him sit leaning against him.
Ah Quan patted the man's back gently with one hand, helping him calm down. The other hand was holding a water bowl, waiting for the man's breathing to stabilize before giving him a drink.
Unexpectedly, when the man saw the water, his eyes lit up, he grabbed the water bowl, and drank up the large bowl of warm boiled water in two gulps, leaving not a drop left.
"Ah! That's great!" The man finished drinking the water, returned the water bowl to Ah Quan, and smiled heartily, "Thank you, big brother, this water came just in time!"
As he said that, the man patted Ah Quan on the shoulder with his backhand.
He looked so cheerful and high-spirited, without the slightest trace of his previous embarrassment.
Of course, you have to ignore the miserable situation where his hair is mixed with snowflakes on his face, in order to not be considered embarrassed.
At this time, Ah Qi also collected the things that the man scattered on the ground and handed them to the man, "Guest, your things."
"Hey, okay, okay, thank you!" The man laughed and nodded, putting the things back into the small bundle one by one.
Wang Xizhou sat on a bench and looked at the man with a hint of thought in his eyes.
After putting away his things, the man slowly stood up.
Everyone's eyes slowly raised as the man stood up.
Bai Gu's mouth twitched.
Damn, is this person so outrageous? If you cut off half of your height, you might still be taller than me!
Is that human being?
That man was tall and strong. I'm afraid Brother Peng could only be regarded as a slightly stronger normal person in front of him. His face was full of flesh, with a beard, and a pair of triangular eyes that flashed dangerously like cold poisonous snakes.
Bai Gu frowned slightly.
This man looked very much like the horse bandit mentioned in the book, and he didn't look like a decent guy.
The man stretched, turned around, and said to Ah Quan and Ah Qi: "Brothers, is this an inn? I need to eat and stay for a few days, is that okay?"
Ah Quan and Ah Qi smiled and pointed to the table and the young shopkeeper respectively, "For dinner, guests can order, or if they don't mind, sit down and eat together? This belongs to our shopkeeper, and he is responsible for the hotel's accommodation."
The man said cheerfully: "It's all fine, I won't be picky, as long as you don't dislike me."
Just when the young shopkeeper was about to speak, Wang Xizhou said with a smile: "How can you dislike it? New makeup in the distant mountains, frost on the bed, brother Duan, long time no see!"
The man looked at Wang Xizhou, his face suddenly full of surprise, "Hey, isn't this my brother Wang? Why are you here? What a coincidence?"
Wang Xizhou also nodded, "I haven't seen Brother Duan for many years, and Xizhou misses him very much. Brother Duan's style is still the same."
"Brother Wang, you are the same, you are still so handsome!"
Wang Xizhou smiled and introduced the person's identity to everyone, "This is Duan Qie, brother Duan. Xizhou met him twenty-three years ago in a bookstore in Dashiqiao, Yuwei City, in the east. Duan Qie at that time Brother, he is a teacher at a calligraphy school, and he is worthy of being a scholar."
Bai Gu's face was full of astonishment, and the young shopkeeper and Ah Quan and Ah Qi were also in disbelief, and they all looked at Duan Qie.
Is this the guy? Teacher? Or a scholar?
Are the methods for recruiting teachers these days so wild?
Aren't you afraid of teaching bad children?
Duan Qie also laughed and said: "You don't have to look at me like this. I studied a few books in the early years, got a merit degree, and then went to be a teacher to earn some money so that I can travel around."
Everyone was stunned.
Wang Xizhou narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I wonder if Brother Duan's wish has come true?"
Duan Qie waved his hand, pointed his thumb at himself, and said proudly: "That's natural! It was realized a few years ago. I just happened to be wandering around here this year, and I just happened to be here today. Oh, brother Wang, You don’t believe me so much?”
Wang Xizhou waved his hand, then cupped his hand and said: "Xizhou didn't mean that. Xizhou just hopes that Brother Duan's wish will come true soon. Since Brother Duan has already broken the cinnamon branch, Xizhou will add his congratulations here."
Duan Che laughed, "We are all brothers, why are you so polite? Just remember to treat me to a drink."
Wang Xizhou smiled and said, "That's for sure." He then said loudly to everyone, "Brother Duan is no longer a teacher, but a... leisure traveler. You shouldn't be so surprised."
Only then did everyone put away their different gazes.
"Brother Duan is tired from traveling and traveling. Let's eat something first. As for other things, it won't be too late to chat after Brother Duan has rested."
"Brother Wang is nice to talk to! Okay, let's eat first, I happen to be hungry too!" Duan Che was not polite, took off his mink coat, and disappeared as soon as he changed hands, sitting carelessly opposite Bai Gu and Wang Xizhou.
Bai Gu glanced at Duan Qie, then looked away, picked up a piece of braised chicken and threw it into his mouth.
This method is the Sumeru Pearl.
Unexpectedly, Duan Qing is also a practicing person.
Ah Quan and Ah Qi walked towards the kitchen.
Ah Qi came out after getting a pair of bowls and chopsticks for Duan Qie, and then walked back to the kitchen. Ah Quan was busy in the kitchen for a while, and then walked out with Ah Qi carrying a plate of steamed taro and a plate of hand-caught mutton.
Ah Quan also added some yak meat soup.
"Eat, eat, eat, everyone eats, so I won't be polite." Duan Qie chuckled and started directly, grabbing a chicken leg in his right hand, and stuffing mutton into his mouth with his left hand.
The food appearance is very unsightly.
Although Bai Gu was not disgusted with Duan Qie's eating attitude, he even strongly agreed with it. But after all, Duan Che was a scholar and a scholar, which made Bai Gu feel very strange.
If other literati saw this, wouldn't they say something insulting and polite?
Bai Gu threw another piece of beef with sand into his mouth, and gave Bai Xiaoxiao a piece of steamed taro.
No matter what, just eat and feel comfortable, why do you care so much?
Who are you pretending to show?
