Cangzhou monster story

Cangzhou has finally entered winter, and the cold wind blows through every street and alley with snow particles.

Wrapped in a thick leather jacket, the uninvolved people walked towards the street entrance with their necks shrunk, braving the cold wind.

Meet acquaintances and say hello to each other.

"Why are you going?"

"Play a jug of wine." The speaker flinched, shaking the jug in his hand.

"Oh, don't go." Another person shook his head, "The tavern is not open."

The gate of Floating Dream Tavern was closed tightly, and the last leaf of the big willow tree in front of the gate was also taken away by the cold wind.Bare, adding a bit of bleak feeling.

Boss Meng was nestled in the warm blanket, talking to Doctor Zhang next to him in a low voice, "It's okay not to open the door during the day, but you have to open the door for me to do business at night."

"You yourself are suffering from the cold, and you are still thinking about business." Doctor Zhang complained, "Can you spare your life?"

"This bit of wind and cold is nothing to me." Boss Meng's nose was blocked by the wind and cold, and he took a deep breath and said, "I'm going to collect the Ten Thousand Dreams soon, I have to hold on tight."

Doctor Zhang said helplessly: "What's the hurry, those dreams won't escape."

"I want to get this done sooner." These were his sincere words. These days, for some reason, he had an urge he had never had before, and wanted to get over the matter quickly and leave here.

"Don't worry, it's been so many years. Do you still care about this day or two?" Dr. Zhang poured the decocted medicine into the bowl at hand, brought it over carefully, and put it on the table, "Drink the medicine first."

Thick black concoction, steaming.Boss Meng frowned, "Bitter."

"There is no medicine that is not bitter." Dr. Zhang persuaded, "It will cool down later, drink it while it is hot, the colder it is, the more bitter it will be."

As he spoke, he brought out a plate of candied fruit, "It's already prepared for you."

Boss Meng reached out and grabbed dried apricots to eat, and laughed, "You are the best."

Dr. Zhang was used to flattering his daily routine, so he turned around calmly to pour out the medicine residue.

"Speaking of which, it's too cold this year." Boss Meng shivered and shrank back under the blanket.

"Okay, drink the medicine quickly." Dr. Zhang tested the temperature, picked up the medicine and handed it to him.

Boss Meng stood up and brought it over, drank it in one gulp, and before he put down the bowl, Doctor Zhang had already handed over the candied fruit.

Small candied fruit, coated in sugar.The sweetness spreads in the mouth.Suppressed all the bitter taste.

Boss Meng squinted and leaned on the soft bed.Covered with a thick quilt.Sigh comfortably.

The snow fell more and more urgently at night, and the fine snow particles in the daytime suddenly turned into heavy snow.

Boss Meng fell into the bed in a dazed state.

Doctor Zhang next to him lit a lamp and peeled the lotus seeds bought by Xia Li.Xiao Jing was on the other side of the table, pinching a piece of paper and looking at it very carefully.

"Young master, does Master mean to let us go back?"

During the day, Yao Wanggu sent a letter, only a few short lines, Xiao Jing pondered for a while, as if it meant to let the two go back.

Doctor Zhang skillfully peeled off the lotus seeds without raising his head, "Don't worry about it, I will send a letter to Master."

Xiaojing nodded and put the letter away.He also reached out to help him peel it off.

There was silence everywhere, Doctor Zhang glanced sideways at Boss Meng, pulled the quilt for him, and suddenly remembered that he said in the morning that he would do business at night.

A little hesitant to light the soul-inducing incense for him.

He knew that he wanted to get enough of the dream quickly so that he could find the murderer who killed the master. Seeing that he was about to succeed, it was impossible not to rush.But now that he is suffering from the wind and cold, how can he accept his dream like this?

So I made a decision for him in my heart.

Boss Meng slept until noon the next day.

Xu was cured by Dr. Zhang's hands. In short, when he woke up, he felt relaxed all over his body, and there was no sign of soreness.

He went downstairs wearing a big cloak, and saw Xiao Jing diligently sweeping the snow in the yard.

"Xiaojing, clean it up." Boss Meng greeted him kindly.

Seeing him going downstairs, Xiaojing asked concerned: "Why are you getting up? The young master told you to lie down."

"Lie down again, and I'll be useless." Boss Meng moved his arms and consciously went to the kitchen.

Hot porridge was warming on the small stove in the kitchen.

Boss Meng felt alive after eating a bowl of porridge.

Open the door of the tavern, ready to do business.

The cold winter at the end of the year is the happiest time in Cangzhou City.People have been busy for a year and finally rested.

Boss Meng lit a brazier and nestled in a chair covered with rabbit fur cushions.Fiddled with the abacus boredly.

Passers-by saw the tavern open and came in in twos and threes to sit down.

Seeing Boss Meng, he greeted him very familiarly, "Boss Meng, did you come out to sit in person today?"

"Why don't you see Miss A Ling?"

"A Ling is gone." Boss Meng warmed up the wine, served them, and said gently: "From now on, I will be the only one in this tavern."

"Gone?" Everyone was surprised, "Where did you go?"

Someone else wondered, "Could it be... Married?"

Boss Meng laughed, "Yes, married."

This time it exploded, all the regular customers of the tavern came and went, and when they heard that A-Ling was married, they were busy asking where she got married, how it was and so on.

Boss Meng was kind and kind, and continued to answer with a smile on his face.

Aunt Wang passed by from the back of the hall, glanced at Boss Meng behind the counter, and shook her head, "It's a coincidence."

After hearing this, Xiao Jing asked strangely: "Who is destined to have no relationship?"

"It's not A Ling and that one." Aunt Wang pouted, motioning him to look at Boss Meng.

"Boss Meng?" Xiaojing looked puzzled, "Aunt Wang, you think too much."

"I think too much about what, you, Aunt Wang, and I have lived most of our lives, and I can't see anything. These two people are in love with each other." Aunt Wang said with a serious face.

Xiaojing waved his hands, ready to go to the pharmacy to work.

Aunt Wang grabbed him, "Now that A Ling is married, look at Boss Meng. She laughs heartlessly every day, but I don't know why she is sad behind her back."

"Aunt Wang, I'm going to be busy. You should go too." Xiaojing said helplessly.

"Listen to me first." Aunt Wang earnestly pulled Xiao Jing to sit down on the porch, and told him and Dr. Zhang to care more about Boss Meng.Do not leave him alone during this time.

After thinking for a while, he said again: "It's better to let the young master move to live with Boss Meng during this period, so that he can watch him."

Xiaojing quickly waved his hand, "Okay, okay, Aunt Wang. Don't say that to the young master."

Aunt Wang sighed, worried, "Then I'll make some Boss Meng's favorite food to comfort him." Then she got up and went to the kitchen.

Boss Meng and the others compiled a story about how A Ling met her real son, how she went through ups and downs, and broke through layers of barriers to love and stay together.

Everyone was amazed, and they all said that Miss A Ling was blessed with great fortune.
