Simulated Immortal Cultivation: Beginning with Changchun's Immortality

Chapter 7 It's a beautiful thing to drink rice wine
"Don't dare to do it, don't dare to do it." The big man wearing a bamboo hat hurriedly stood up and sang to Chen Qingzhi.

"So that the young man can know that my humble name is Wang Shun, and he is a farmer in Zhaojiazhuang, fifteen miles to the north. Because he learned a few sticks when he was young, the master praised him, and he was lucky enough to make a living. This time, I was ordered to send some seasonal fresh loquats to Yanzhou Mansion for sale."

"Apart from some self-defense knives, guns and sticks, the only valuable things on us are probably these few baskets of fruit."

Stretching out his hand, he pointed to the seven or eight bamboo baskets half a person's height piled up at the foot of the altar table, Wang Shun said while cautiously looking at the group of Weiyuan Escort Bureau outside the temple from the corner of his eye.

Escorts walk around all the year round, doing the business of licking blood on the edge of a knife. They are all people who are used to dealing with bandits and bandits, and they can count on a few who have a bottom line of morality.

If the employer is really rich and doesn't have the strength to match it, they don't mind the occasional guest appearance as a robber. Anyway, long-distance business is very risky these days, and accidents on the road are very common.

This man has heard about it quite a lot since he traveled the rivers and lakes in his early years, so it is reasonable to be wary now.

"Brother Wang misunderstood. We also walked the official road for a long time. Seeing that it was approaching noon, we wanted to find a place to rest temporarily. We happened to know that there was an abandoned temple nearby. I wonder if we can spare a room for the brothers to rest their feet."

"Besides, everyone is earning some hard-earned money running errands. You don't have a lot of money, so does your younger brother have it?"

Chen Qingzhi smiled wryly and shook his empty cuffs.

Chen Qingzhi didn't believe a word of Wang Shun's words, but since the other party had no intention of revealing his intentions, he couldn't just yell at him based on preconceived guesses.

What can be done right now is nothing more than eight words - soldiers come to block, water comes to cover.

Seeing that the young man always had a modest attitude and did not reach out to hit the smiling face, Wang Shun seemed to let go of his guard, and awkwardly withdrew his hand from behind and put it on his head.

"It's not a problem, it's not a problem. It's not easy for everyone to run and live these days. They really should have a good rest at noon. They all say that meeting each other is fate. How about I scatter some loquats to quench your thirst for all the heroes?"

After finishing speaking, Wang Shun turned around and opened a bamboo basket, took out a few fruits from Huang Chengcheng's basket, and handed them to the boy.

"Loquat, where is there to eat loquat? We haven't tasted that taste for more than a year. Eldest nephew, hurry up and let the old man taste it first."

Unexpectedly, before Chen Qingzhi reached out to pick it up, a short and thick man suddenly jumped out from the side and took the loquat from Wang Shun's hand without saying a word. This man was Meng Dafu who had just been reprimanded by Huang Qinhu in the morning.

He peeled off the thin layer of skin on the surface of the loquat, before Chen Qingzhi opened his mouth to stop it, Meng Dafu seemed to be impatient to stuff the pulp into his mouth, and the juice overflowed after eating.

"Not bad, good taste, big nephew, would you like one?"

Meng Dafu turned his back on Wang Shun and his party, and gave Chen Qingzhi a look, indicating that the fruit in his hand had not been tampered with.

No one would have thought that Meng Dafu, who appeared to be tall and fat on the surface, was actually the only one in the group who was good at using darts and poison.

Just now he wanted to eat loquats before Chen Qing, and he also suspected that the other party had put medicine in the fruit, so he sailed carefully for ten thousand years, and tried it without showing any traces.

In fact, even if he didn't make a move, with Chen Qing's experience of practicing medicine and collecting herbs in his previous life, coupled with Changchun's true energy that is invulnerable to all poisons, there are not many poisons in this world that can bring him down.

"You man, you are too impatient, and we are not miserly, how many fruits will you be short of?" Before he could react, he felt that his hands were empty, and Wang Shun was a little dumbfounded.

Just as he was about to take it out of the basket again, Chen Qingzhi took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and stuffed them into his hand, "Here is forty Wen, please ask Brother Wang to sell me five catties so that I can share it with the brothers to quench their thirst." .”

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" Feeling the heavy weight of the copper coin in his hand, Wang Shun's eyes lit up immediately, and he said politely, but he didn't slow down at the hand to collect the money.

At the same time, he did not forget to greet his brothers, "Baoshan, Tieniu, hurry up and pack loquat fruit for little brother Chen."

"Come on," two men immediately stood up in response, one took out the steelyard from the backpack, and the other put the fruit on the weighing pan clumsily, "Three catties six taels... five catties two taels... five catties one……"

"Don't count by one by two, by two by two, if there is any extra taels, we will give it to Brother Chen!" Wang Shun couldn't stand it anymore, and slapped Tieniu on the head.

At this time, Huang Qinhu had already ordered everyone to unload the mule cart and go into the house to rest. Chen Qingzhi troubled the other party to distribute the fruits one by one to his subordinates. As for himself, he only cut off two pieces.

After a rough inspection of the skin of the loquat, there were indeed no traces of needle holes, so the young man peeled off the skin with confidence and stuffed the pulp into his mouth. He immediately felt that it was sweet and delicious, and his lips and teeth lingered. After a while, both pieces went into his stomach.

Just as he was hesitating whether to buy a few more catties for snacks on the way, Chen Qingzhi moved his ears, but he heard a burst of vain and slow footsteps approaching from outside the temple, and at the same time, there was a shout——

"Gujiu, homemade rice wine——"

Immediately, the atmosphere in the small temple seemed to change. Everyone had already put their hands on their weapons. Even Chen Qingzhi felt that something was wrong. How could this group of bodyguards who had been around for a long time not notice something strange.

Not to mention where did the restaurant come from in this wilderness, and they didn't come early or late, and passed by when they were resting, do you think there is any problem?
Even the loquat sellers like Wang Shun were made a little nervous by them, and they took out sticks and poles and copied them in their hands.

"Someone wants to sell two taels... what are you doing, the old man doesn't have much spare money to spend with everyone."

Seeing that there was no response from the temple for a long time, the man was about to step into the temple when he suddenly saw ten or twenty big men holding knives and sticks, looking at him warily.

Immediately startled, the two heavy barrels of rice wine on his shoulders almost spilled.

The person who came was hunched over, his hair and beard were half white, and the wrinkles on his face were so deep that they could almost trap mosquitoes. He looked like an old man in his early fifties, and his footsteps were also flimsy, not like someone with kung fu. look.

Looking outside the temple, it didn't look like there was a strongman hiding, so everyone breathed a sigh of relief and put their weapons back away.

"You youngsters are really exquisite. The old man lives in Xujia Village not far away. He knows that there are caravans coming and going here, so he brews some rice wine and exchanges some copper coins with them to subsidize the family. I don’t want to be guarded by you.”

Hearing the reason why everyone was so wary, the old man raised his head and laughed.

"Since you don't believe it, let me drink a bowl first and let you have a look." After saying this, he took off the shoulder pole and poured himself a bowl first, "The degree is not high or low, and drinking rice wine is probably a beautiful thing." thing!"

　Brothers, I overslept in the afternoon, so far I have barely managed to get out of a watch, I am really sorry, the owed watch will be guaranteed tomorrow, for the sake of our sincerity, it is not too much to ask for a ticket, ying ying ~
