"I'd like to ask you, dear guests, to understand that this is a crowded time and there are really no tables. Please squeeze in first and I'll serve the noodles in a moment."
The hairy boy hunched over and explained with a smile, bringing a bowl of noodle soup sprinkled with chopped green onions and placing it in front of the man.
Jiang Yu didn't care. She looked at the man with a black head surrounded by blood, and she felt a little happy.
In the morning, it was said that it was a source of resentment, but before it was afternoon, another one came.
The young man moved very quickly, and could carry several dishes with both hands. He came and went in just a few moments. The noodle stall was very busy with people coming and going. After a while, it was Jiang Yu's turn.
One bowl was placed in front of her, and the other was placed in front of the man.
The appetizing crispy bone noodles didn't attract her attention, but the man's accent as he whispered his thanks to the hairy boy shocked her.
"This gentleman is not a local."
The man raised his eyes and saw the girl in front of him with a round face and a pretty face. She had a long knife in her hand and a black cat with her. She looked like someone from the world.
However, he didn’t know anyone in the world, so the man asked with confusion on his face: “How did the lady know?”
"The accent sounds like someone from Longyou County. I'm also from there. I heard that the crispy bone noodles here are a specialty in Xuzhou Prefecture, so I came here to try it."
Jiang Yu picked out the noodles in the bowl, picked up a piece of crispy and glutinous cooked pork ribs and stuffed it into his mouth. He was shocked for a moment. This was much more delicious than the food cooked by his master.
Seeing that Jiang Yu was eating well, he also felt that he had a great appetite.
"Are you also from Longyou County? I heard from people in the post house that Huaguandian's Crispy Bone Noodles are very delicious, so I came here." The man laughed: "I am Pei Yuanshao, the Pei family of Longyou County, may I ask my wife Name?"
She finished chewing the bone slowly, took a sip of the pork ribs soup from the porcelain bowl, and let out a long breath.
"Just call me Jiang Yu. I live in Xianyun Mountain and have lived with my master since I was a child. I haven't seen many people at the foot of the mountain, so naturally I don't have your accent, but I can just hear it. I've heard Pei Lang's name for so long, it's like thunder to my ears."
The first time Jiang Yu saw him, he roughly guessed where this person was from.
But I didn't expect that he was the elder brother of the bride of the Pei family, Pei Yuanshao.
She gave Mo Mo a piece of ribs. Xuan Mao got off his shoulders and sat on the table, tearing off the ribs and eating them.
"You know me?" Pei Yuanshao was stunned.
"The eldest son of the Pei family is a great leader. Many people in Longyou County came to see you on the day you won the exam. Your reputation spread far and wide. We and other low-ranking people in the world are also proud of you. How could we not know about it?"
Jiang Yu took a bite of the noodles and felt satisfied, and his tone became much lighter.
"I heard that your sister came here to marry Erlang of the Hu family, but the groom fell ill before the wedding. You are worried that your sister is entrusting someone to someone wrong, so you secretly came to see your sister, right?"
When Pei Yuanshao heard her being so frank, he felt a little overwhelmed.
He put down his chopsticks. Seeing that Jiang Yu was no longer in his prime, he thought of something again and sighed: "Even a lady of your age can tell that something is wrong. Why is Wenwen so..."
Pei Yuanshao swallowed what he wanted to say and paused: "If I make you laugh, just think that I am talking nonsense."
"It's a matter of blood relations. Naturally, care will lead to chaos. I see that your husband is a little older than me. If you don't mind, I will call you Brother Pei. I see that you are kind-hearted and are destined to me. There is something I shouldn't say to you. Just said it.”
Jiang Yu wiped his mouth, put down his chopsticks, and said seriously: "Ms. Pei's abnormal behavior at this time is all caused by evil spirits. It can be cured in three days, cured in seven days, and there will be no cure after ten days. I advise You should return to Longyou County as soon as possible and inform your daughter-in-law so that you can prepare for your sister’s funeral as soon as possible.”
Pei Yuanshao was stunned on the spot after hearing what she said. Then he remembered something and his face changed drastically, and his lips trembled slightly.
"How do you know! Don't talk nonsense!"
"Brother Pei!"
Jiang Yu shouted, calling him back to his senses.
"Have you seen Mrs. Pei? Can you see clearly? Is she one person or two people?"
Pei Yuanshao was horrified: "Who are you?! Why do you know this?"
Jiang Yu smiled at him, and the red moles under his eyes were slightly red.
"Brother Pei may not have heard of the name of Xianyunshan Dengxian Pavilion, but he should know the name of Qi Erye, the first warlock in Longyou. I am his disciple."
"I was invited by the Hu Mansion to look after Mr. Lang's affairs. I know a thing or two about your family's affairs."
Seeing his confused look, Jiang Yu softened his tone.
"As for what I just said, it is not unfounded that Mrs. Pei was entangled by evil spirits. Erlang of the Hu family also fell ill after seeing Mrs. Pei that day. I have seen him. The top of his head is covered with black energy and bloody light. He is like you. Time is always the same.”
"He passed out, but you are still awake. You must be Mrs. Pei who will meet you after him."
Pei Yuanshao's back felt a little numb, and his thoughts seemed to be dragged away by her. He murmured with difficulty and gasped slightly: "Impossible, my little sister... No, she escaped from the bandits..."
He looked at Jiang Yu suddenly, a glimmer of hope rising in his eyes.
"You said you are the disciple of Mr. Qi from Longyou County. Can you save my little sister?"
After hearing what he said, Jiang Yu couldn't bear to say cruel words.
But if Mrs. Pei had been entangled after the bandit incident, she would be hopeless today.
When Pei Yuanshao saw Jiang Yu didn't speak, he looked into her eyes and seemed to understand what she meant, feeling a surge of sadness in his heart.
It can be cured in three days, cured in seven days, but in ten days there is no cure.
How can Wenwen be saved...
"Now that the matter is over, I have a way to solve your current predicament. If you listen, I can at least save your life and that of Mr. Hu's husband."
The man hurriedly asked: "What can I do?"
She patted the red gourd on her waist, and a sickle-leaf flying knife flew into her hand.
Jiang Yu handed the flying knife to him and said: "You find a piece of red cloth, wrap this knife in your arms, if there is an evil spirit that threatens your life, it will protect you once. If the evil spirit appears, I will take care of you." I’m here to look for you. Just pretend you haven’t seen me these days and just live your life as usual.”
"Kill the evil spirits, and the resentment will dissipate on its own, and your lives will be saved."
Pei Yuanshao felt a dull pain in his heart and couldn't bear it: "But, if she died, wouldn't Wenwen also..."
"If you are indecisive, she won't be the only one who loses her life in vain!"
Jiang Yu hated the fact that iron cannot become steel. She stood up and said, "As a cultivator, you should draw your sword to help when encountering injustices on the road, but the person being helped is confused, so it is useless to draw your sword to help!"
"Wait, I'll do it!"
Seeing that she was about to leave, Pei Yuanshao finally couldn't help it.
"Little Immortal Jiang Yu, the Pei family will remember your kindness."
She waved her hand, didn't look back, hugged Mo Mo and walked out.
"I've been at Hu's Mansion these days. If something happens to you, you can send someone to Hu's Mansion to look for me."
