Today is a relaxing day in Tongfu Inn, at least for Lao Bai and Da Zui.
The two of them chatted and drank in the lobby for a long time today, and it wasn't until noon that Dazui went to cook.
Dazui brought out the prepared lunch, and Lao Bai set out the dishes.
"Hey, Xiucai and Xiao Guo haven't come back yet?" Dazui looked at the missing bowls and chopsticks on the table and asked curiously.
"No, I don't know what they are doing today. Don't worry about them. Let's eat ours first."
Lao Bai responded casually, then picked up the chopsticks, picked up the big chicken drumstick that Big Mouth had just brought out, and started eating by himself.
"What about the shopkeeper?" Da Zui looked at the vacant seat curiously.
"The shopkeeper said something happened, so let us eat first and not bother her." Lao Bai replied while chewing on the chicken leg.
. . .
On the second floor, in the wing next to the shopkeeper's bedroom, it was originally a guest room, but later it was used by the shopkeeper as a private warehouse. It was filled with several large boxes, which were the dowry for the shopkeeper's trip.
The shopkeeper looked at the big boxes. After hesitating all morning, she made her decision.
"It's been two years since these things have been left here. I don't know what happened to the things inside. I don't have any other intention. I just want to check whether the things inside are broken.
I really have no other intention, just take a look, just a little look. Grandma, if you are lucky again, please don’t blame me.
In this way, if you don't want me to open it, just ask someone to tell me, and I'll give it a dozen clicks. If no one bothers me, it means you agree to my opening it. "
The shopkeeper clasped his hands and prayed that the dowry was left to her mother by her grandmother, and left to her by her mother. Her mother was far away in Hanzhong now, so naturally she could only ask her grandmother for instructions.
After the shopkeeper finished praying, she looked around carefully, especially in the direction of the door.
"one two three four five six seven eight.."
Counting loudly, the closer it got to ten, the faster the shopkeeper's heart beat. Although she had told everyone not to disturb her, she was still a little worried.
But what she worried about didn't happen, and she counted to ten smoothly.
After counting to ten, the shopkeeper waited for another two seconds. Seeing that nothing happened, she quickly picked up the key from the table beside her and eagerly unlocked the box in front of her.
The shopkeeper tried several times before finally finding the right key and opening the big box in front of him.
But the moment she opened the box, she was stunned.
"This, this..." The shopkeeper didn't expect that her dowry would be these things.
Although the contents of the box were beyond her expectation, fortunately, she recognized most of them, but there was a round tube-shaped object that she had never seen before, which aroused her curiosity.
"What is this?" The shopkeeper curiously picked up the big black iron pipe.
. . .
In the lobby downstairs, the shopkeeper and Dazui were eating happily when two figures suddenly ran in in a hurry.
"Oh, I came back when I smelled the aroma of rice." Lao Bai looked at Xiao Guo and Xiucai who hurried in and said jokingly.
In the past, Xiao Guo would have had to quarrel with Lao Bai, but she was not in the mood at this time.
"Something bad is going to happen..." Xiao Guo said anxiously.
But before Xiao Guo could say anything else, he heard "Bang!" from upstairs! ' There was a loud noise that shook the heavens and the earth, and even the whole room shook.
Everyone was startled by the sudden loud noise. Dazui and Xiucai fell to the ground. Although Lao Bai and Xiao Guo did not fall, they were still frightened in their hearts.
But Lao Bai had seen strong winds and waves after all, and he was the first to wake up.
"No, it's the shopkeeper!"
Lao Bai quickly flew towards the second floor. Xiao Guo and others also reacted and quickly followed up one by one.
. . .
In the wing room on the second floor, I could see that the place was filled with smoke and dust, and the sky appeared above the head. There was a big hole opened on the roof. The shopkeeper shrank aside tremblingly. He was dumbfounded, as if he had been frightened. Same.
Lao Bai opened the door anxiously. Seeing the scene in front of him, he quickly stopped his worried steps and carefully guarded his surroundings.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?"
"Zhantang!" When the shopkeeper heard Lao Bai's voice, he burst into tears and hurriedly rushed over to seek support.
The shopkeeper's hair was disheveled, his face was gray, and his body was stained with sawdust, as if he had just escaped from a refugee kiln.
A puff of smoke and dust hit him, and Lao Bai turned back, but seeing the shopkeeper like this, he couldn't bear to avoid it, so he had to hug the shopkeeper carefully, patted her on the back and comforted her:
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything. Tell me what happened?"
"I didn't mean it, I didn't do anything?" the shopkeeper said aggrievedly, like a little girl who accidentally made a mistake.
"It's okay, it's okay, who hasn't made a mistake yet." Lao Bai comforted him gently.
But at this moment, Xiao Guo and others also arrived.
"Shopkeeper, are you okay?" Looking at the two people hugging each other, Xiao Guo and others were stunned.
"We didn't disturb you, did we?" Xiao Guo and others laughed sarcastically.
With that said, Xiao Guo and others were about to exit the room quietly.
Seeing that everyone had misunderstood, Lao Bai quickly let go of the shopkeeper.
"You have misunderstood."
The shopkeeper who was let go by Lao Bai gave Lao Bai a resentful look. Of course, Xiao Guo and the others dared to disturb his good deeds.
Xiao Guo and others smiled, especially Xiao Guo. She knew that it was a good thing to disturb the shopkeeper.
After Lao Bai said it, he didn't explain much. He knew that this kind of thing could not be explained clearly, and he was also curious about what happened just now.
Lao Bai looked at the open big box on the ground and walked over curiously. Looking at the big black tube that fell to the side, he carefully picked it up.
The attention of Xiao Guo and others was also attracted.
"What is this?" Xiao Guo asked curiously.
The large black iron pipe was as thick as a person's forearm. There was still black powder remaining on the edge of the black pipe, and the air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
After Lao Bai looked at it carefully, he gave an answer.
"If I guessed correctly, this should be the legendary Tang Sect's exclusive hidden weapon, the Sky-shattering Cannon!"
"Ah!" Xiao Guo exclaimed and asked in disbelief: "This is the legendary cannon that can break mountains and break rocks."
"That's right. Fortunately, the shopkeeper fired the shot into the sky. If he accidentally pointed the barrel at himself, it would be unthinkable."
Lao Bai looked up with some fear at the roof that had a big hole in it.
