Sealing Knife

The tomb of wild grass is short and long, and there are rogues in the barren mountain inn.

Gu Xiao felt that Master had probably said such a big truth in his life.

He has been down the mountain for half a year. From the beginning, he was dazzled by the world of flowers and flowers, and now he feels that the so-called rivers and lakes are a pot of miscellaneous paste, and all the sweet and bitter things are dumped in it. Those love and hate that are unknown Qiu came with a **** storm, and he was so confused that he could not find the southeast, northwest,

Rescue the elder girl and daughter-in-law who suffered the robbers on the mountain path, but they were frightened and fled by a sentence of “communicating with one’s body”. Fighting; after walking through the wicked waters of the poor mountains, and spending a few days of free time, but because of the cleanup of a few rogue hooligans on the street, they were chased and asked to join by the riotous crowd.

Why are people so complicated?

Gu Xiao kicked the little **** who came over to persuade him to join him. He put the handkerchief group thrown by the woman on the flower branch and waited for the master to get it back. .

The knife behind him was used by Gu Lifang to spend three or two silver dollars on the mountain iron shop. The style is ordinary and not too sharp. The knife handle is tied with a black silk ribbon by the maid and the end is a rough and polished jade ring. Gu Xiao always felt that this was the life-saving money that Duan Qing gave himself. After the coil was used up, he could treat it as two meals, so as not to starve to the streets.

Gu Xiao lay lazily on the horse’s back. The horse was old, not running fast, but obedient, without knowing how to spur on, he knew to move slowly.

After he went down the mountain, he had no relatives and no exact purpose, so he banished himself among the three mountains and seas wherever he went.

As the weather falls into autumn, the fallen leaves languish, and the desolate wild roads have fewer and fewer pedestrians. Several unnamed old graves on the roadside are overgrown with weeds, and sometimes the insects sing late.

Gu Xiao turned over and fed half of the buns left at noon to the horse before turning his head. With sleepy eyes, he looked at the wilderness inn that was more deep and strange under the night.

This barren mountain and wilderness, there is no front of the village and no store, there is only such an inn that looks like a black shop, three-story high, yellow muddy walls, thatched roofs, decayed gates, patched on the top The old and new mixed wooden boards, the candlelights in the two paper lanterns in front of the door are extinguished, and the three red lacquered words of “Tianchengju” on the top of the door seem to have become a **** “human body.”

A living person becomes a corpse as soon as he enters, saying that this is not a place where the slaughterer plundered.

Gu Xiao looked at the sky, the wind was blowing, the dark clouds were rushing, wondering if it was going to rain, he didn’t plan to sleep in the wilderness and became a chicken, Shi Shiran led the horse to knock on the door.

“Come, please visit me!”

A welcoming welcome rang out, and the crumbling door was opened, revealing a face full of flesh. Gu Xiao glanced and turned his head, feeling that this person did not look like a sophomore, but more like a pig killer.

“Feed the horse for me, come to another room and have some hot food.”

He threw a broken piece of silver, Xiaoer weighed the weight, and smiled more really, holding the horse in one hand and slyly instructing him to go inside: “Oh, you sit down and rest for a while!”

Gu Xiaomai crossed the threshold and saw that the lobby was brightly lit. A tattered cloth curtain on the left blocked the backyard. The tables and chairs on the right were neatly arranged, but they were very old, and there was still oil that could not be wiped off. For appetite.

Xiao Er led the horse to the backyard, and Gu Xiao glanced at it. The three people’s large running hall was cleaning up the leftovers on the table, but they didn’t see the guests.

Behind the counter in front of me stood a lady boss with silver hairpins. She was about thirty years old, and she was powdered with Shi Yan. She didn’t look very old, but she didn’t look like a good family. When Gu Xiao came in, her eyes were bright, and she came out from behind the counter, holding a pen in one hand and a jug in one hand, laughing: “Ouch, I haven’t seen such a handsome guest for a long time. It’s cold this day, drink first A glass of wine to warm your body? “

“Thank you, the shopkeeper.” Gu Xiao took the wine glass and drank it upside down, pouring a glass of wine into his shirt by covering his sleeves. Fortunately, he wore a black suit today and couldn’t see anything wrong.

He smiled at the lady boss and gently put the wine glass on the counter. The bottom of the glass was embedded in the wooden table, but there was no cracking around it, as if the glass had always been there.

“The kid doesn’t know the importance, this silver gives the shopkeeper a new table.” Gu Xiao had no intention of causing trouble, and did not want to be troubled by others. He simply pointed out his attitude from the beginning, but he wouldn’t do anything if his brain hadn’t been raked. What a stupid thing.

The proprietress looked at the cup embedded in the wooden table, and her smile stiffened on her face. After a while, she barely twitched her lips and held the silver, and said with a smile: “You’re welcome, don’t talk about changing the table with this silver, plus the official dinner tonight The accommodation is enough, please. “

Gu Xiao nodded and walked up to the second floor. The lady boss greeted someone to follow the tray. There was a bowl of hot soup, a plate of cooked meat, and two buckwheat buns.

Probably because of the order of the proprietress, the second child who followed up didn’t dare to make it. Gu Xiao examined this room. There was nothing but a bed, a table and a bath tub. The futon exuded the smell of old and damp.

He shook his head, sat down at the table, sandwiched a few pieces of meat into the steamed buns, and ate it while eating hot soup, and the sound of pattering rain gradually came out of the window. Get involved and get up to close the window.

Unexpectedly, I just touched the window bolt, and the inferior wooden board could not stop the hustle and bustle. There was a crackling table and chair overturning downstairs, mixed with the curse of the second child of the shop and the cry of the child.

He frowned. He wasn’t prepared to do business, but he heard the movement getting bigger and bigger. The child howled like a pig. After all, he couldn’t help it, and went downstairs with a knife.

Downstairs, the shop Xiaoer scolded a child to the ground with scolding. It was a 7- or 8-year-old boy. He was chubby and white. He wore satin clothes just like the New Year dolls provided by the folk. The raised cub, unfortunately it is now dirty, the face is gray and tears, and the body has been kicked a few feet, and it is rolling on the edge of Gu Xiao’s feet like a gourd, the endless Phoenix egg, it is almost stinky The eggs have been put together.

The proprietress and the second person in the shop did not want to provoke him, so when Gu Xiao went downstairs, he regained his hands and feet. The child was alert and hugged Gu Xiao’s legs. His nose and tears covered his pants and shouted: “Help! They opened a black shop, help me!”

Gu Xiao earned twice, but the child weighed the same as Lie, holding his legs with his hands and feet, almost dragging his pants down. In desperation, Gu Xiao grasped the belt with one hand and dangled his eyes with a knife and pestle, and asked, “What is this for?”

“… Oh, did this dead boy bother the visitor? Did he accompany him?” The lady boss froze for a moment, and she quickly recovered. “This is my son. His father went early. I A widowed mother didn’t manage him well. This wasn’t because he caused some misfortune, so he planned to learn a lesson and didn’t expect to disturb the guest official. “

“Bold! You bullshit!” Unexpectedly, this child is not big enough, he can be fat, he now looses Gu Xiao’s leg, almost jumps three feet high, and the childish child’s voice is actually a bit of a fox and a tiger: “You It ’s not a good thing! “

Gu Xiao raised her eyebrows, and saw that the face of the shop was not very good-looking. The wife of the boss raised her lips: “Everyone says that the official is constantly doing housework. Does the guest official even intervene when my widow hits her son?”

“How can you give birth to such a meatball like a girl?” Gu Xiao smiled, grabbed the collar of the child with one hand, and picked him up. “They all walked in rivers and lakes. I ’m okay, I really do n’t have to do much business. “

Hearing the words, the child immediately struggled in his hands, and the boss lady’s face eased: “The guest official understands people. Since this is the case, it’s not too early. Please take a break.”

“Wait a moment, I’m hungry.” Gu Xiao’s hands tightened, before the boss lady spoke, and continued: “I don’t like to eat those pickled animals. Now that there are fresh meat dishes, please ask the boss lady. Next cook, I will pay the money separately. “

Dian Xiao Er and Pao Tang’s face changed a lot. The lady boss looked at him and the child several times and hesitantly said: “Guest officer means … don’t hide the guest officer. Although we are a black shop here, we are also doing murderous and over-the-counter sales, but this human flesh … “

“If you open a black shop, you won’t even be able to make human flesh. If you say it, you might make people laugh.” Gu Xiao snorted, and the fat baby in his hand seemed to be scared and stupid. Now he only recovered and tried to twist himself. Became a maggot, failed to take out his Wuzhi Mountain, and finally howled.

The proprietress looked at him in amazement: “This … we arrested the child, and he was originally looking at some of his fortunes, intending to extort some silver money from his family, but the child was not interested, not only did not say, but also accidentally told him to run Come out, but be human … “

“Oh, if you look at this kid’s clothes, you should know that his family is rich or expensive. Maybe he can’t get money, but instead he will cause trouble. Why not earn a little money and destroy the dead?” Gu Xiao shook his head and took out two silver coins. In front of her, “This child made me a drink, and twenty-two silvers belong to you.”

Twenty-two silver is enough for ordinary people to spend for several years at this time. The lady boss bit her lips and hesitated for a while, and finally made up her mind: “Okay, but our cook hasn’t made human flesh, this …”

“Then lend me the kitchen, and I will come by myself.” Gu Xiao said as he raised the child and walked to the backyard. Looking at the cub who was kicking in his hand, he asked, “Good boy, what is it? Otherwise, I won’t wait Do you know what dish name to give you? “

The child was crying out of breath and hiccuping: “You, hiccup! Bad, hiccup!”

“Man is not bad, woman does not love, what do little kids know?” Gu Xiao touched his chin, kicked the kitchen door with one foot, threw him to the gray ground, picked up a kitchen knife, and asked kindly: ” What do you think of braised pork? By the way, if you do n’t tell me my name, I ’ll call you braised pork **** later. “

“You! Wow–” The child cried on the ground, “My name is Chu Yao, no … don’t eat me!”
