The magpies are chirping, the drizzle is continuous, thousands of flowers are bathing, the grass and trees are shy, the sound of water on the eaves makes people wake up very late, there are fewer stalls on the streets than before, and the faces of pedestrians with umbrellas have become heavy, and they seem to be in a very good mood. chaos.
The rain became heavier and heavier, and the water became deeper and deeper. Pedestrians ran away in panic, and the wind began to rush, causing the street to become deserted for an instant, and everyone took refuge in a large restaurant.
The boss at the counter laughed, thinking that God was letting him make a fortune, and called: "Xiao Lin, come here."
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"Why don't you entertain the guests?" the boss wondered.
"Boss, they are just a bunch of passers-by taking shelter from the rain. They will leave when the rain stops. They are not here to eat at all. It is useless to ask." Xiao Lin replied.
The boss's face changed. He slapped Xiao Lin on the head and cursed: "You stupid pig, if everyone works like you, Niu's shop will also go bankrupt. If you want wages, just go and say hello to me." , it’s morning now, there must be someone who wants to eat, and I don’t want you to ruin my shop.”
Xiao Lin was dissatisfied in his heart, wishing that there would be no customers in the restaurant, so he could take his salary without any worries, and get a bargain!
Xiao Lin just thought about it. After all, he had to live. If there was no one in the store, he would have to close down. Not to mention the wages, it would be difficult to find another job. He smiled and said: "Boss, I'll go there right away!"
There were many men, women and children at the door, all talking about the rain outside.
"This rain is really harmful. Half an acre of my crops was destroyed!"
"Old Wang, what's going on?"
"I just sowed wheat on the ground, but it rained heavily that day before I started plowing it. It's really annoying!"
"Okay, the weather is unpredictable. Who knows what it is thinking. Let's go and have a look when the rain stops."
Everyone was chatting incoherently, and Xiao Lin was too embarrassed to interrupt. Seeing the boss glaring at him at the counter, he had no choice but to face the difficulty shamelessly.
He said politely: "Dear guests, the rain won't stop for a while. Now that it's here, you must all be hungry. The prices of my dishes are reasonable. Why don't you order a few side dishes, stretch your belly, and leave after the rain stops? Bar?"
Everyone looked at him, and Xiao Lin greeted him with a smile, but he just ignored him.
Xiao Lin said again: "Dear guests, would you like to have a meal?"
Everyone was thoughtful, but no one was eating. Xiao Lin suddenly became anxious and said angrily: "This is a restaurant, not a place for you to take shelter from the rain. Since you are not here to eat, please get out of the restaurant."
Everyone looked a little embarrassed and remained silent. Looking at the heavy rain outside and making it difficult to leave, some people finally gave in and had no choice but to go into the store to spend money. Among them was a mother-in-law.
Xiao Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help her, but her mother-in-law refused. She found a corner to sit down and slowly placed the baggage she was carrying on the table, fearing that it would be stolen.
Xiao Lin poured a cup of tea and said respectfully: "Madam, what would you like to eat?"
“Here’s a bowl of somen noodles!”
"Madam, please wait a moment."
Xiao Lin greeted other people and was very busy. The boss was also smiling. He went up to each table to say hello and soon arrived at the aunt's table.
The aunt was just drinking tea, but the boss frowned slightly. The restaurant has been recruiting customers all year round, and she has a unique skill in recognizing people. This aunt looked vicissitudes of life, but her body was very healthy. She was definitely a strange woman who practiced martial arts. She sat opposite the aunt.
"Auntie, how old are you this year?"
"Eighty to two!"
"It's amazing that you can move freely at the age of eighty-two. I have been in the inn for several years and I have never seen a guest like you. Where is my aunt from?"
"Where is this?" the aunt asked.
"Auntie, this is Qinghua Town. People of your age are retiring at home, and no one comes out!" the boss replied.
The aunt put down the cup and was filled with memories. She paid filial piety to her husband in Ningcheng and missed the spirit tablet more deeply. If Tang Die and Zhao Xinting hadn't saved her, she would have died at the hands of the devil.
Although my heart was filled with despair, I had a sudden impulse when I thought of Pang Nian's last words, vowing to pass the Crazy Sword to the destined person. After thinking about it, I finally came to Gancheng. If it hadn't been for the heavy rain, I wouldn't have known that this place was Qinghua. town!
"My name is Niu Xue, I am from Ningcheng."
"Since you are from Ningcheng, what are you doing here?"
"Come here to find a relative." Niu Xue replied.
"Auntie, I have been in Gancheng for many years. Although many things have happened, I still have the ability to inquire about people. If you need anything, just ask and I may be able to help you."
Niu Xue smiled. The boss was quite warm-hearted and said: "The person I am looking for is very simple. As long as he can hold my knife, he is a relative. As for his name, I don't know!"
The boss was a little confused. There were many weapons in the mainland, and knives were common among people. What the aunt said was a bit simple. How difficult is it to hold a knife? Ordinary people have a lot of them, and they can do it casually. What kind of knife is the aunt's knife?
The boss said: "Ms. Niu, this is easy, but a bit unrealistic. Even I am a good hand with a knife, but I don't know you. Do I want to become your relative?"
Niu Xue was not impatient and said: "My sword only recognizes relatives. People who are not relatives cannot hold it. If you don't believe me, you can try it."
The boss frowned and said, "Where is your knife?"
Niu Xue opened the baggage, and the mad sword instantly shined, attracting many people to watch. The boss was stunned and admired in his heart, this is not a knife, it is clearly a treasure.
The light faded, and the Crazy Sword was revealed. Its exquisite power made people instantly like it, and the boss said: "Madam, let me try it!"
The boss said and took the knife to the handle, Niu Xue didn't stop him. The boss thought it was very heavy, but he didn't expect it to be picked up easily. Just when he was about to laugh at Niu Xue, he wanted to use the knife twice. Unexpectedly, it became heavier and heavier, and he couldn't use any force at all. , I had to let it go with shame!
"Auntie, your knife is a good knife, but it's too heavy and I can't use it."
"It means you are not my relative!" Niu Xue said with a smile.
The boss refused to give up and said: "Mom, although we are not related, I want to help you more. Most people can't afford this knife, and I am unwilling to do so. So let me help you hold a knife-holding conference here to help you." How about looking for relatives?”
Niu Xue is a bit difficult to do and stops talking.
Seeing Niu Xue's behavior, the boss called an old man and introduced him: "Ms. Niu, this is Murong Gong, our mayor. If you don't believe me, why don't you believe him?"
Niu Xue frowned slightly, glanced at Murong Gong, and thought to herself, I am eighty-two years old, how long can I go? It's better to just agree to his words, maybe you can really attract someone who is destined to fulfill the old man's last words.
He said: "It's rare for you to be sincere, and it's hard for me, an old woman, to refuse, so thank you very much!"
Murong Gong said: "Sister, don't worry, this boss is kind and loyal, and he will definitely help you find your relatives."
"I hope so!" Niu Xue said thoughtfully.
