Me and my Jianghu Tavern

Lei Hu nodded and went to the inner room to drink a pot of tourists to get drunk, then he returned to stand in front of the counter.

He frowned tightly, holding the letter left by the shopkeeper in his hand.

In the morning, there were only Nian An and Lei Hu in the tavern. Lei Hu stood in front of the counter this morning without saying a word, and Nian An also drank quietly without saying a word.

The morning dew gradually receded, and Nian An in the tavern drank four glasses of tourists one after another to get drunk.

This wine can make ordinary people drunk, but it can't make him drunk.

Finally finished drinking, Nian An got up and walked to the counter.

Lei Hu raised his head and looked at the monstrous monk in front of him.

Four eyes facing each other.

A light flashed in Nian An's eyes.

In an instant, Lei Hu lost consciousness.

Nian An bypassed Lei Hu and walked into the counter, sat on the chair, and said softly: "Since the destiny has changed, let's go."

Don't miss this last chance.

Lei Hu's eyes were blank, he walked out of the Jianghu Tavern, and set foot on the official road.

He was like a walking corpse, his arms were stiff, and his walking was even slower, like a marionette.

When Lei Hu came back to his senses, the scene in front of him changed.

Lei Hu stopped in his tracks and froze in place.

"Here..." Lei Hu looked around, he vaguely came here when he came to Jian'an many years ago.

When the monstrous monk looked at him, he fell into memory.

The scenes on the North Desert sandfield at that time came to the fore, unforgettable.

Lei Hu opened his clothes, and there was a terrifying scar on his abdomen. The knife wounded four meridians back then, so that he could no longer practice internal strength.

He took a deep breath, looked to the back, leaned over and said, "Thank you!"

This was addressed to the monk in the tavern, although the monk couldn't hear him.

Lei Hu's gaze was firm, and he took a step forward and walked towards the land of Liangzhou.

In the tavern, Nian'an was sitting at the counter.

If you have nothing to do, let him guard the tavern for Zhang Ming.

.........

In the forest, there was a man wearing a black windbreaker, riding a donkey, holding a white cat in his arms.

Zhang Ming originally planned to buy a horse.

But it took a long time to get to the next city, and there might not be a place to sell horses on the way, but I found this donkey at a farmer's house, so I bought it.

"Meow." Xiao Qi rolled his eyes.

Xiao Qi was very helpless, he didn't know where this place was when he was only sleeping, and he didn't discuss it with him when he left.

"What are you calling?" Zhang Ming patted Xiao Qi on the head.

"Snoring." The donkey below seemed to echo Zhang Ming.

"Meow!"

Xiaoqi showed his paws and was about to grab the donkey. It's fine if Zhang Ming bullied it. Do you want to bully it, little donkey?

Zhang Ming patted Xiao Qi's paw in time, grabbed Xiao Qi's neck and said, "This little donkey can't bear your scratching, so you should stop for a while."

"rustle."

At this moment, voices suddenly sounded from both sides of the forest.

Zhang Ming frowned and pulled the donkey to stop.

A ferocious robber with a blade came out from the bushes on both sides. About ten people stood in front of Zhang Ming.

"Get off the horse and rob!" One of them came forward with a scar on his face.

Zhang Ming smiled and said, "This is a donkey."

The thief with the scar on his face was a little annoyed when he heard this, and shouted: "I don't know how to live or die, I won't kill you."

As he spoke, he was about to charge towards Zhang Ming with a knife, but the person beside him stopped him and said, "Second brother, come back!"

This person is not as vicious as the one just now, but has a handsome face and bright clothes, not like a robber.

He took a step forward and said: "Little brother, we are bandits on Luoxi Mountain. We only want money and don't want to cause trouble. Since we pass by here, little brother will leave some money to buy roads, how about it?"

"Wait, where do you think this is?" Zhang Ming asked.

The handsome robber frowned slightly, and replied, "This is Luoxi Mountain."

Zhang Ming came back to his senses, looked up at this mountain, and said to himself: "Dear years ago, Liang Shurong killed most of the people in Jianghu here?"

"Little brother, we are not in a difficult situation..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhang Ming interrupted him and said, "How much do you want?"

"Huh?" The handsome robber froze for a moment.

"Take it." Zhang Ming threw out a silver ingot.

The handsome robber stretched out his hand to take it. This silver ingot is about four or five taels.

But I heard Zhang Ming say: "This is also your territory. I want to stroll around this mountain. How about you take me there?"

The handsome robber froze in place, unable to react.

Chapter 289: I just want to live without regrets

One person and one flute are like masters, causing chaos in most of the world.

And the place where all this happened in the first place was on Luoxi Mountain.

The donkey stayed tied down at the foot of the mountain, while Zhang Ming went up the mountain with Xiaoqi in his arms.

The handsome robber followed Zhang Ming and showed him the way.

This person's name Huan Xiqi was not chosen because he was the seventh child in the family, but was chosen by the elders in the family for the sake of prosperity, but in the end he was the only heir.

At first Zhang Ming thought that this bandit was the bandit leader on Luoxi Mountain, but later he found out after hearing Xi Qi talk about it.

Xiqi is not a bandit leader, but a scholar.

He failed the imperial examination many years ago, passed by here when he returned home, was captured by the head of the family and went up the mountain, and became a teacher here.

"Mr. Teacher?"

"Meow?"

Zhang Ming and Xiao Qi looked at Xi Qi together, both a little surprised. Are there any teachers on Bandit Mountain these days?

Xi Qi replied: "The head of the family has vision. There are so many children in the village. Is it possible that they will become robbers in the future? Somebody must go out and take a look."

Zhang Ming agreed: "That's true. Fortunately, you are not a fool."

Zhang Ming asked as he walked, "Speaking of which, since you were captured up the mountain, you never thought of running away?"

Xiqi lowered his head and sighed, and said: "At the beginning, I really thought about it, but then I slowly let it go, thinking about it carefully, even if I go back to my hometown, I don't know what to do, and the elders in my family have passed away. , might as well just blend in here, at least it will make me feel that I am not a useless person."

Xi Qi raised her head and said with a smile: "Besides, the children in the village are also very well-behaved and don't make trouble. I, a teacher, also like it, don't worry."

"Is that so?" Zhang Ming paused for a moment, then came back to his senses quickly, and asked again: "Then how long have you stayed here?"

Xiqi thought for a moment before replying, "It's been ten years."

"ten years?"

Zhang Ming was stunned for a moment, now Xiqi looked only in his twenties, maybe he was too young ten years ago.

Xiqi waved her hands and said, "I just don't look old, in fact I'm already 39 this year."

"I really don't see it, but, ten years... I think you have taught a lot of students."

"Not too much."

Ten years of trees, ten years of wind, ten years of rain.

Three-foot podium, three-inch tongue, three-inch pen.

Being a teacher by example is not bad.

Zhang Ming walked up the mountain step by step. This road is the way to the village. If you want to go up the mountain, you can only take this road. It is said that this is the rule set by the village owner to worship the mountain god.

Halfway up the mountain, Zhang Ming didn't seem to be struggling at all, but Xiqi behind him was already out of breath.

So Zhang Ming sat down and rested for a while.

Xi Qi was panting heavily. It was easy to go down the mountain but difficult to go up the mountain. This road required him to walk for nearly half an hour, and he had to sit down and rest from time to time, but the person in front of him looked thinner than him, and he couldn't even catch his breath .

"Huh." Xi Qi wiped the sweat from his forehead and asked, "You are a martial artist, right?"

"Yeah." Zhang Ming admitted, there's nothing to hide, ordinary people can tell at a glance.

Xi Qi wasn't excited at all, there were quite a few people in the village who knew martial arts, and said: "There are quite a few people in the village who know martial arts, but I've heard them talk about mysterious realm... Grandmasters and the like, the village master doesn't teach me, Let me be a good teacher, I am not interested."

"Who is your village master?" Zhang Ming asked.

Xi Qi pondered for a moment, then shook his head and replied: "Although I have been here for so long, I don't know much about the village owner. The children in the village call the village owner Uncle Chu, and it seems that he was a famous Jianghu man before." .”

"Surname Chu?"

Zhang Ming didn't know much about the Jianghu, let alone what happened many years ago, but this village owner must have known about what happened in Luoxi Mountain back then, and might have participated in it.

"Go on." Zhang Ming got up and patted his clothes, and Xi Qi followed.

After walking through mountain roads and walking for a few quarters of an hour, Zhang Ming also saw the village in the mountain.

It stands on the hillside, but only a small corner is exposed. If you don't look carefully, you might not be able to see that there is a cottage here.

"Is that your village?" Zhang Ming asked.

"Yeah." But I heard Xi Qi say: "However, you must not go to the stockade, you have to go another way up the mountain."

"Shouldn't you be allowed in?" Zhang Ming thought the same, and he was also an outsider. Although Xiqi had said so much, he was still wary of him in his heart, "That's fine, let's go to the top of the mountain."

The end of this mountain road leads to the top of the mountain, and from the top of the mountain you can see all the scenes below.

What Zhang Ming didn't expect was that Luoxi Mountain didn't feel how big it was when he was at the bottom of the mountain, but he didn't realize how high it was until he went up the mountain.

At first, Liang Shurong stayed here for three or four years, until the Jianghu people besieged Luoxi Mountain, and the cottage in the middle of the mountain was built later.

The top of Luoxi Mountain is not a cliff.

Zhang Ming looked over, and there was a small tan in the middle of the top of the mountain, and there was a dilapidated bamboo house not far from the tan.

Xiqi pointed to the bamboo hut and the water pool and said, "That bamboo hut has been built a long time ago, and no one has demolished it, but the water in this tan comes from the ground, and everyone in the village drinks this water."

Zhang Ming nodded slightly, then walked towards the bamboo house.

Standing in front of the dilapidated bamboo house.

Zhang Ming sneered, and sighed: "...I really never thought that you could live such a life of idle clouds and wild cranes."

In his impression, Liang Shurong was a fanatic at heart, and it was hard to imagine that he had stayed here for three or four years.

Come to think of it, Liang Shurong at that time was able to be called the son by Yan Shuxian, and there was no mistake.

It seems that what happened back then really changed Liang Shurong a lot. If not, the Liang Shurong Zhang Ming saw would probably look like a handsome young man.

Xi Qi just followed silently, since it was so easy to collect the money, he had to handle things well, he didn't know how to deal with people, but he guessed some things very accurately, "Your friend used to live here?"

"En." Zhang Ming nodded.

Xi Qi smiled and said, "The top of the mountain is very beautiful, I also like to stay here."

"Then you should be as indifferent by nature as he was before."

"Indifferent by nature?"

"Well, if it's correct, my friend has stayed here for at least two years."
