Chapter 108: Herbal Tea Shop
"Come on, boys, hurry up and get ready, that guy is coming. ”
A weasel jumped down from a tree, went to a roadside tea shop, spat out a man, and shouted inside.
This is very rare, under normal circumstances, beasts cannot speak human words, even if they are youkai, they have to transform into human form to speak human words.
But this weasel is just spitting, which is a bit special.
The weasel transforms into an old woman.
A group of weasels chirped out of the tea shop, turned into human forms, and then you hit me and I hit you, and they were dizzy and chaotic.
When the old woman saw this scene, she was so anxious that she stamped her foot and stretched out her hand to command......
A distant bell rang out, and a man and a horse appeared at the end of the road, from far to near.
The old woman stood outside the tea shop, her eyes lit up, she wiped the sweat from her face, and glanced at the tea shop.
There were seven or eight guests sitting in the tea shop, and a couple of men and women greeted them.
Seven or eight guests are all big men, all of them are equipped with weapons, some open clothes, some simply bare-chested, some use the hat as a fan and fan hard, drink the herbal tea in the bowl, and brag and fart to each other.
There is a car outside the tea shop, and the car is loaded with goods, and it is heavy at first glance, and I don't know what the goods are.
Whether it was the guests, or the pair of men and women who greeted the guests, when they saw the old woman's eyes, their eyes lit up, and they suddenly acted more similarly.
As the ghost cried closer, the old woman greeted her and called out enthusiastically: "Guest, it's hot now, come and drink herbal tea to relieve the heat." ”
Devil Cry took off his hat, and his entire hair was soaked with sweat. The sun was so great that smoke rose from the ground, and the whole forest was silent, except for the occasional rustle of hot wind.
"Is there any herbal tea?" Ghost Cry's eyes lit up, and then nodded, "It's okay, just take a break." ”
As he spoke, he patted the neck of the big black horse, who was also sweating and his hair was wet.
The big black horse gasped, walked to the shade of the woods, and when the devil cried and unsaddled it off, it lay down and did not want to move again.
"It's lazy. Ghost Cry shook his head and followed the old woman into the tea shop.
Several men raised their heads and watched the ghosts cry, and the ghosts' crying eyes swept over their faces one by one, and the men lowered their heads, no longer looking at the ghosts crying, and talked to each other casually.
There were only two tables in the shed of the tea shop, but fortunately, there was still an empty seat, and the ghost cried and sat down in the empty seat, and the three people at the same table couldn't help but be vigilant.
Ignoring them, the ghost leaned his knife against the edge of the table, threw the hat on the table, and tugged at the placket of his shirt with all his might. Showing your strong chest and rolling up your sleeves to your elbows is a little more comfortable.
"Guest, your tea. ”
"Thank you. Ghost Cry took a large bowl of herbal tea and looked inside, the herbal tea was cloudy and slightly green, and a few wisps of green silk were like seaweed.
The weather is getting hotter and hotter, even if there is a shed overhead, it is still stuffy and unbearable, but fortunately, the herbal tea in the bowl is fragrant and cold, and the heat will be solved immediately after taking a sip.
"Auntie, do you have any snacks, fill your stomach. After a moment of refreshment, the ghost cried.
The old woman showed a look of embarrassment on her face, shook her head and said, "Sorry guests, there is only tea in the old woman's tea shop." ”
"That's right. The ghost clutched his stomach and frowned.
In front of him, a big man among the guests suddenly asked, "Does my brother eat dates?"
"Dates?" Ghost Cry raised an eyebrow.
The big man pointed to the car outside: "Can our brothers get some dates to go to the market, subsidize the family, if the brothers want, you can even some even." ”
The ghost cried and asked, "How do you calculate this money?"
"If you sell it alone, it will definitely be more expensive. Dahan said.
The ghost cried and asked, "What if I buy a bag?"
Dahan smiled happily: "Then it's cheaper, it's just that so many brothers may not be able to eat it all." ”
"It's okay, my horse has to eat too. ”
Dahan was stunned.
Ghost cried and asked, "What, is there a problem?"
"It's fine. The big man shook his head: "It's just ......"
"No way, this horse came down from the battlefield with me, and I am a brother who is a friend of life and death, so I must let it eat better. The ghost cried and said, "Okay, how much does a bag cost?"
Dahan pondered for a moment and said, "A penny of silver." ”
Ghost Cry took out a piece of silver, pulled out a flying knife and cut off a point, and threw it to the big man: "Is it enough?"
The big man shook it, nodded with a smile, and said, "Enough, enough." ”
After putting away the money, Dahan walked out of the tea shed and carried a large bag of dates in front of Ghost Cry. Ghost Cry opened the bag, and the crimson dates were round and very pleasant.
He ate one, the juice was sweet, the flesh was full, and the taste was very good.
I held two handfuls and put them on the table, and the rest, the ghost cry was all carried in front of the big black horse, and the big black horse turned over and got up, happily put his head into the bag, ate a mouthful of dates, swallowed the skin and flesh into his stomach, and then pouted, "poof" and spit it out.
The ghost cried back to his seat, while eating dates, while leisurely drinking tea, looking at the hot sun outside, and when the dates were half eaten and the sun was smaller, he suddenly spoke: "I have a doubt, I don't know if you can answer it." ”
"I wonder what doubts the guests have?" asked the old woman, who was napping, looking up.
"The sun is so big outside, these dates have been in the sun for so long, why are they not hot, but cold. ”
As soon as these words came out, there was a sudden silence in the tea shed, and the seven men quietly stretched out their hands to the hilt of the knife.
"Why, can't say. Devil's crying gaze swept across their cheeks one by one.
The old woman's face was ugly, and she said with difficulty: "Guest, this ......"
Ghost Cry suddenly interrupted her, and looked at the seven men in the seat: "Let me guess, maybe you came not long before me, so the dates don't dry in the sun for a long time, right?"
The man at the head wiped the sweat from his face and hurriedly replied, "Yes!"
"But that's not right, when you're in a hurry, the dates still have to bask in the sun, is it possible that you live around here?"
"Brother's ingenuity. The leader of the big man smiled awkwardly.
"If you want to go out to sell dates, you should hurry as soon as possible, and at this time, you are still here to rest and cool off, it seems that you brothers go out very late, lazy!"
Several men lowered their heads with shame on their faces, and the old woman hurriedly responded: "It's not, these guys love to be lazy all day long, and they don't listen to anything." ”
"Are you from the same village?" the ghost asked again.
The old woman nodded: "Yes, these guys were raised by the old woman." ”
"Where is your village? Ghost Cry looked at the sun outside again: "I guess it will rain soon, go to your village to hide from the rain." ”
"Follow this road, walk two miles ahead and you can see it. The old woman pointed outside.
"Thank you. Ghost Cry finished the remaining dates, left the money, put on the hat, put the saddle luggage back on the horse's back, and prepared to go on the road.
Before leaving, he deliberately reminded: "Auntie, you should also close the stall early, it will be too late to close the stall when it rains." ”
The old woman smiled, "Got it." ”
