Although the horse ran faster, it still took some time to go back and forth. In addition, Xiaoliu got up late today, so by the time he returned to Qixia Town, it was already almost time for dinner. It's time.
But at this time, not only Xiaoliu was a little hungry, but everyone in Tongfu Inn was so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs.
Dazui returned home. There was no cook in the shop, so naturally the shop couldn't open.
And what's even more terrible is that before Da Zui went home, he entrusted the kitchen to Xiao Guo. Xiao Guo was a very strong person. At first, everyone crowded around Xiao Guo and told him not to force him if he didn't know how to cook.
As a result, this aroused Xiao Guo's competitive spirit, and he insisted on proving it to everyone.
In this way, Xiao Guo occupies the kitchen alone and insists on cooking for everyone, but he has not yet been able to cook.
Faced with such a strong Xiao Guo, everyone could not persuade her, but they did not dare to fight her. They could only wait hungry for her meal to be ready.
"Guo? Is your meal ready?" Lao Bai asked feebly while lying on the kitchen door frame.
Xiao Guo, on the other hand, was cooking on the stove. When she heard Lao Bai's urging, she who was already in a hurry couldn't help but said even more irritably.
"Why bother? It'll be fine soon."
After saying that, she ran over and closed the kitchen door.
"Clang!"
Lao Bai was startled, but he didn't dare to provoke Xiao Guo's violent temper, so he could only sit helplessly on the ancient well in the courtyard and wait.
'Well, there is an advantage to the absence of this big mouth, that is, you can get paid without having to work, but the problem of hunger needs to be solved. '
Just as he was thinking about it, Lao Bai saw Xiao Bei coming out of the room chewing on a big pear.
Looking at the big round pear, Lao Bai's mouth was almost watering, and his unsatisfactory stomach was growling with greed.
"Baby, Brother Bai, do you want to discuss something with you?" Lao Bai immediately turned into a monster and said seductively.
However, Xiao Bei is not an ordinary ignorant child. She has experienced a tragic experience and is extremely precocious. She can see the evil intentions of Lao Bai at a glance, but Lao Bai is her beloved big brother after all, and it is not easy for her to turn around. After leaving, I had to ask cautiously:
"W-what do you want to do?"
Seeing Xiao Bei's vigilant look, Lao Bai knew that if he asked Xiao Bei directly, Xiao Bei would definitely not give it to him.
He had an idea and thought of a good idea. He said to Xiaobei:
"Lai Bei, Brother Bai is here to tell you a story."
"Tell a story? Okay! Okay!" As soon as she heard that there was a story to listen to, Xiaobei quickly responded happily. She likes to listen to stories the most.
Xiao Bei quickly sat down by the grinding table, looking at Lao Bai expectantly, waiting for him to tell a story.
When Lao Bai saw that Xiao Bei had taken the bait, he also smiled and said:
"In this case, it's okay for Brother Bai to tell you a story, but Brother Bai is a little hungry. You have to give me the pear in your hand. I'll tell you when I'm full."
Lao Bai was directly seduced.
However, Xiao Bei would not be easily fooled. He knew that with Lao Bai's character, he would definitely turn his back on him after eating the pear. Xiao Bei, who had suffered losses many times, negotiated:
"You tell it first, and I'll give it to you after you finish."
With that said, Xiaobei also hid the pear behind his back.
Seeing that Xiao Bei was not fooled, Lao Bai sighed softly in his heart, so he had to tell Xiao Bei a story first, and then make plans.
In this way, Lao Bai entered the storyteller state.
"In the last years of the Sui Dynasty, the court was corrupt, the people were in dire straits, and the heroes of the world rose up..."
Lao Bai is also versatile. What he tells in this book is vivid and colorful. With his emotional and dancing narration, it actually stirred up Xiaobei's emotions.
To be honest, if Lao Bai went to be a storyteller, he would have a much better future than being a waiter.
"... By the way, Li Yuanba didn't care about anything, he just hit him with a hammer. Wu Tianxi saw that he had no choice, so he had to fight with the golden jang. This shock made his hands bleed! Wu Tianxi saw that it was not Li Yuanba The opponent quickly turned around and ran away. Li Yuanba rode up and raised his hand..."
Lao Bai stretched his right hand forward, and his voice was almost hoarse, but Xiao Bei became more and more enthusiastic as he listened. He refused to eat the pears and asked him to keep talking. Seeing that this situation continued, Lao Bai There was no other way, so I quickly wanted to take the opportunity to bring Xiaobei's pears over.
However, although Xiaobei was fascinated by what she heard, she was still very alert. Seeing Lao Bai's hand reaching over, she quickly hid the pear back.
When Lao Bai saw that he couldn't lift the pear, he had no choice but to show off his cards and said:
"How about predicting the future? Give me the pear in your hand?"
Xiaobei refused to give it, and she was also hungry, but before she could speak, she heard someone outside the door laughing:
"Brother Bai, is it not the behavior of a man to ask for food from a child?"
Xiao Liu smiled and walked in through the open back door.
"Hey, Xiaoliu is here."
Seeing Xiao Liu coming, Lao Bai quickly stood up to greet him. After a night's rest, Lao Bai has now recovered.
And with the fuss about the big-mouthed Xiao Guo, he was so hungry that he couldn't care less about Xiao Liu's unusual meridian problems.
When Lao Bai saw Xiao Liu teasing him, he also smiled and said:
"No way? I was joking with Xiao Bei. By the way, you are here to eat, right? Unfortunately, Dazui went home today, so you may have to eat somewhere else?"
When Xiao Liu heard this, he waved his hand and said:
"I know that. I was the one who sent Dazui back. But the main reason I came here this time is not to eat. Xiaobei, ask the shopkeeper to help get some fodder for my horse to eat. I have something to do with you, Brother Bai. Want to talk.”
"Horse? Brother Xiaoliu, do you still have a horse?" Xiaobei was very surprised when he heard this.
Xiaoliu also found it a bit amusing to see Xiaobei's surprise. It was like the other person suddenly asked you that you had a car, which made you feel a little proud.
"Yes, it's provided by the yamen. I'll take you for a couple of laps when I have time. But she's a little tired from running now. Go and help me feed her some fodder. But remember to be careful and don't pat the horse's ass. , let alone grab the horse's tail, otherwise she will kick you." Xiaoliu also reminded carefully.
"Okay! Let's feed the horses!" Xiaobei also responded happily, and then she happily picked up some fodder in the backyard and went to see the horses.
Xiao Liu's horse was tied to the manger at the entrance of the inn, but the manger was empty, so Xiao Liu came in and asked Lao Bai and the others to get some horse feed.
"Hey, be careful, don't touch the horse's butt. No, I'm still worried, so I'd better go and take a look."
Lao Bai looked at Xiao Bei's excited look and reminded him quickly, but he was still a little worried and quickly planned to take the opportunity to follow him.
However, he was stopped by Xiao Liu.
"Don't worry, Brother Bai. Xiucai is watching at the door. I'm here to find you in a hurry."
Seeing that he couldn't hide away, Lao Bai had no choice but to smile helplessly: "Is it about martial arts again?"
"yes!"
