Not a fairy guest

In March of Yuanhe, the spring breeze blows on the face, and the willows hug.

There were only a few pedestrians sitting in the Taoyuan Building, the signature building of Yu County.Before noon, the accountant, who had taken a nap, was awakened by the cook in his sleep, yawning non-stop.There were several waiters and maids standing in the front hall of the store. They looked quite bored. They shook their legs and stretched their waists from time to time. They all seemed to be very relaxed.

Taoyuan Tower, the county's signature building, is not a name that is in vain.The decoration inside the hall is elegant and noble, spacious and bright, and it is not a restaurant where ordinary people can spend time.

Suddenly, a gust of wind-like figure broke into the store.Upon closer inspection, his clothes were incompatible with Taoyuanlou's dignified and elegant temperament. Although he was a handsome young man, such a good color and such an outfit were quite unsatisfactory.Before the waiter could respond to the reception, he happened to be spotted by a maid in green sweeping the floor with a broom in the corner. The maid suddenly became playful and silently placed the broom in the corner, moving lightly, like a domestic cat chasing the floor. Like a rat, he walked silently towards the back of the young man.When the maid stood completely behind him, she patted the young man's shoulder hard and shouted loudly in his ear.

Suddenly, the young man was frightened, and his whole body shivered violently.

The young man couldn't help but shrink his neck and turned around quietly. After seeing the smiling face of the maid clearly, he breathed heavily and kept stroking his chest, "Oh, ancestors! People are scary, they can scare you." dead person's!"

The maid in green looked at the young man's guilty look and smiled, her face turned red and her figure was even more graceful. She continued: "Hey, Yu Nian, you took the opportunity to sneak away again and went to play secretly! The shopkeeper just asked you to Go to the wine shop boss Fu to order a batch of old wine, but it's only two streets away, why did it take so long? Aren't you afraid that the shopkeeper will hold you accountable?"

Yu Nian was obviously still frightened by Cai Cai's prank. He frowned and said: "What do you mean sneaking away to play! And how can a man's affairs be secretly done! It's not like you don't know, Xinqian, that the owner of the wine shop, Nafu, is a vixen who has cultivated himself for thousands of years. , but I’ve never been afraid of anyone when it comes to bargaining!”

A look of pride flashed on the young man's face. He always spared no effort in bragging about himself, "If it weren't for my ability to speak like a lotus flower, even if our restaurant had a famous name in Kyushu, we wouldn't be able to save a full 20 taels of silver." ! It’s just because I encountered a strange thing when I came back, which delayed my return a little bit!"

20 taels!For ordinary people in Yu County, this is really not a small amount, enough to feed an ordinary family of four for a year.

Yu Nian shook off some scattered hair in front of his forehead, feeling high-spirited.That aura is arrogant, but in the past few years, I wonder what kind of monster snake god he was in his previous life?She has exquisite facial features, a handsome nose, and a pair of peach blossom eyes as clear as a deer in the forest. Even the shopkeeper secretly thought that if he saw this person in the store, he might be able to attract many ladies. .

Xinqian was also bewildered by his spring-like handsome appearance at this time, and was momentarily lost in thought.Immediately, as if to save face, he said sarcastically, "I mean, people here have not encountered a strange thing for hundreds of years, but you bumped into it as soon as you went out? What? Master Yu! How about I build a golden body for you and offer it to you?" , keep our restaurant safe!"

While the two were chatting and laughing, the young man's ears were astonishing and he was the first to hear the footsteps coming from the stairs. He felt a chill in his heart. His body that had held his head high just now suddenly collapsed as if he had no bones. All the pride he had just felt was gone. He took it back, his expression suddenly turned innocent.

Shopkeeper Zhou was standing at the top of the stairs with an imperceptible smile on his face, looking at Yu Nian.The latter is a bit more obedient if he is clever.

The shopkeeper this week is the top leader of Taoyuan Tower.At first glance, together with Yu Nian, it is Tai Chi Liang Yi, which is a very "drama" that cannot be ignored.

The shaved face with no flesh on the cheek is dotted with two small mung bean eyes, and with the slightly raised rat whiskers, among the people I have met in the past few years, Shopkeeper Zhou is a talker. The acrimonious look mentioned above.

Shopkeeper Zhou always prides himself on being a scholar. He always wears a scholar's hat and holds a landscape folding fan, which gives people an indescribable feeling.

Yu Nian secretly complained in his heart, and then the young man's eyes flashed darkly, and he had a plan in mind. His face once again put on the panicked look just now, he approached Shopkeeper Zhou and whispered urgently: "Shopkeeper Zhou, you don't know yet, do you? ? It’s spread all over the city! There are monsters in the Song family mansion. This thing is said in a very serious way. I’m afraid that if it is true, it will have an impact on the business in our building, right? "

Yu Nian's handsome face was furrowed, with a look of righteous indignation, "I didn't take it seriously at first, thinking about where the monster came from, so I just thought it was some nonsense from someone who was full. It's just that. Just now when the villain went to the wine shop to place an order, he happened to pass by the Song family, and then he saw some neighbors watching the fun outside. After asking about it, he found out that there was really a monster there. I heard that Mr. Song and others wanted to invite everyone. The mountain fairy came and took action, so scared that the villain almost came back with his life!"

Shopkeeper Zhou opened the landscape folding fan with one hand and looked at him and sneered: "Make it up, keep making it up, I want to hear how you can't survive!"

Yu Nian opened his mouth and his face trembled. He was speechless for a moment and began to feel frightened in his heart.

In Taoyuan Tower, Yu Nian is a veteran, and everyone knows all about it.Every time he was sent out, he would take the opportunity to escape. When he came back, he would find some strange things to excuse him, such as Wong Tai Sin stealing chickens and water ghosts catching children.The most outrageous one was that there were monsters on the mountain!He even missed work for a long time and ran out with a broken sword to "act chivalrously" before returning after dark.

As far back as I can remember, his father passed away, leaving him alone in Taoyuan Tower to earn a living.Fortunately, he has always had a lively temperament, he is smart, he has pros and cons, and his calculations are clear-cut.Even though he was usually lazy and playful, Yu Nian was extremely devoted to arithmetic and literacy!
He is not just thinking and hoping that when he saves enough money and can learn to read and calculate accounts, he can also open a food shop in Yu County.Therefore, today he apparently ran out to escape, but in fact he went to the nearby private school to eavesdrop on the scholar's lecture.

Shopkeeper Zhou glanced at him and thought to himself that these days, there were indeed rumors in the county about monsters in the Song family residence. Although this boy was lazy, he was not lying.

People walking around the streets and storytellers in teahouses all came out to discuss this matter.According to this rumor, the eldest lady of the Song family has evil spirits in her body. She seems to have lost her mind and is acting crazy all day long.At first, the Song family thought that the eldest lady was suffering from a strange disease. It was caused by famous doctors who searched all over the country, but to no avail.Later, I heard someone said that I was possessed by an evil spirit, and I invited an expert Taoist priest to exorcise the evil spirit. It was said that it was effective, but after only a few days, Miss Song went crazy again, and nothing happened. Because there must be a monster when something goes wrong!
In view of the fact that this monkey had too many criminal records, Shopkeeper Zhou opened his small mung bean eyes, took the folding fan in his hand, hit Yu Nian's head hard, and cursed: "I praised you and you went to heaven? I can't Let me tell you, if there is no one around you when Miss Yingxiu from Mianxiang Tower comes tomorrow, pack up your bed and get out! You little bastard, you have been doing nothing all day long, why don’t you go to work quickly and wait for me to do it for you?!” said After rolling up his sleeves, he walked towards the inner hall.

Seeing that shopkeeper Zhou had completely disappeared, Yu Nian hummed a tune and went to the counter in a good mood to draw a rag and clean up the table where the guests had just left.
