Ning Zhifo took the red-clothed knife from Mu Xiaojiu's hand, held it horizontally in front of him, and gently flicked it on the knife with his left hand. As the fingers fell, the blade of the red-clothed knife made a slight crisp sound, sounding like the trembling of the strings, beautiful and moving.

"Sure enough, it's a good knife, is this the knife that Zu Ming used to be?" Ning Chengfo said with admiration: "Zu Ming has never taken out this knife over the years since he entered the temple, I didn't expect him to give you the knife." ”

Mu Xiaojiu smiled and said: "Actually, I didn't expect that at that time in the Shaolin Temple, it was okay to study the Buddhist scriptures with Master Xuanku, Master Xuanku was compassionate and would patiently lecture to me." However, practicing with Master Zu Ming is different, although Master Zu Ming is not rigid, but he is very strict, he will always get stuck in my limit to set my homework, and every time I have to complete it, if there is a little worse, I have to start again. If Qingyun hadn't been with me and cheered me on, maybe I wouldn't have been able to persevere. ”

"So, you didn't expect such a strict Zu Ming to give you a knife, right?" Ning Chengfo looked at Mu Xiaojiu with a smile, "Actually, Zu Mingren is quite good, but his early experience and his own personality make it difficult for him to be as compassionate as Master Xuanku." ”

The four of them drank wine and chatted in the cabin. The wind and rain outside the ship were getting stronger and stronger, and even the four of them clearly felt that the hull of the ship was gently swaying with the wind and rain.

"A few guest officers, get ready to prepare, the ship is about to dock, and it may be a little bumpy." Li San's voice came outside, and when Mu Xiaojiu heard this, he reached out and extinguished the stove.

After a while, the hull of the ship shook suddenly, and then the sound of the bottom of the ship touching the mud and sand was heard.

"This rain, with the help of the wind, I didn't expect the speed to be a little faster." As Li San spoke, he jumped off the boat, stuck the anchor into the dirt, and stepped on his feet, "A few people, there are clothes and hats hanging in the cabin, you can put them on and come out again." ”

Mu Xiaojiu responded, then took the coat and hat from Li Xiaobai's hand, and draped them on his body, "Let's go, let's get off the boat and go to the town to buy some dry food, and by the way, pour some wine." ”

"Why don't we take a look by the way, and if we can, we can finish dinner in this village." Fox Xiaoxian put on a hat and pushed open the door of the cabin.

"Master Ning, let's go, let's go together." Mu Xiaojiu said to Ning Zhifo, whose face was a little red. Although Ning Chengfo said that his own alcohol consumption was not good, but now it seems that it is okay, he drank the most gourd wine, almost a third of it, and now it is only a little smoky.

"Well, since that's the case, then the poor monk won't shirk." Ning Zhifo didn't refuse, nodded, and then disembarked with Mu Xiaojiu and them.

"A few guest officers, let's go, Da Linzi and I have been running on this waterway for a few years, and we have also known several families, and we have made rules with them. Let's just go over there, they'll entertain us, and we'll just have dinner here." As for the price, anyway, they are all farmhouse meals, if you eat vegetables, vegetarian dishes are two copper plates per person, add a copper plate and a plate of eggs, if one person adds two copper plates, add a plate of meat. The wine is the farmer's turbid wine, a copper plate and a catty. Li San was worried that a few people wouldn't be able to believe him, so he directly quoted the price.

"In that case, let's go." Mu Xiaojiu didn't worry so much, but Li San was willing to say, and there was no need for him to interrupt people, "It's still early now, and you can continue to hurry after eating." ”

Hu Xiaoxian and Li Xiaobai are naturally headed by Mu Xiaojiu, and Ning Chengfo has no objection to this. Therefore, under the leadership of Li San and Da Linzi, several people walked towards the farmer's house.

………………………………………

"Here we are." Li San pushed open the fence door, led a few people into the courtyard, and then raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door, "Open the door quickly, we brought guests over." ”

A dark-skinned man who looked to be in his thirties opened the door to a few people, "Yo, Li San, Da Linzi?" How did you get here? Come on in, come in, how many guests? I'll ask your sister-in-law to fry the vegetables. With that, the man turned sideways and let go of the door.

"There are six of us." Li San was the first to walk in, took off the hat on his head, and then hung it on the wall next to him.

"By the way, add an egg to us, add a meat." Mu Xiaojiu was the second to go in, and after thinking about it, he still spoke: "The green vegetables are fried in vegetable oil." ”

At this time, a peasant woman came out of the back room, but she happened to hear Mu Xiaojiu's words. I saw that she was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Isn't this a joke, we, the peasant family, where do we go to get so much meat oil, stir-fry vegetarian dishes with meat oil, don't say whether it is delicious or not, it is too luxurious for us." ”

Mu Xiaojiu's face turned red, but he didn't think about it. Fortunately, he hasn't taken off his hat yet, so as long as he lowers his head slightly, he won't be seen blushing.

After entering the room, several people took off their hats, took off their robes, and hung them on the wall of the outhouse in turn, and then entered the inner room, "Come on, come on, sit down and warm up first." The man greeted a few people very warmly to sit down, and then said: "There is another master here, I said how this son let us stir-fry vegetables with vegetable oil, haha." However, you are wearing too thin, and it is windy and rainy outside, so be careful not to catch a cold. ”

Mu Xiaojiu heard the man mention this matter again, although the man had no malicious intent, his face was still slightly hot, "Eh, this big brother, please bring us a pound of wine." ”

"Eh, Brother Su, where is your little girl?" Li San took off his shoes, found a cloth to wipe his feet, and then sat cross-legged on the earthen kang, stretching out his hand to rub his cold calves while asking.

The man pointed to the north house, "That little girl is in the north house, Li San, you also know, my little girl is a little scared, you have all been here seven or eight times before you get acquainted with her, these are all new guests, where does the little girl dare to come out to meet people." ”

Da Linzi suddenly laughed, "Brother Su, in the North House, I'll go see her." A few days ago, I went into the city, and I happened to come across a stall selling puppets, so I bought one for the little girl, and I happened to be coming today, so I brought it. As he spoke, Da Linzi raised the cloth bag in his hand and shook it.

"Tsk, I said how did you get off the boat and keep this bag in your arms." Li San said with some embarrassment: "Da Linzi, you went to the city to see ...... What's going on? ”
