Chapter 314: Come and Go
Because the wind and snow were blowing harder and harder, the vegetable patch in the front yard that Li Changxiao and the cook had worked so hard to take care of was completely abandoned, and the chickens and ducks they raised were shivering in their nests.
This kind of situation happens almost every year, and Li Changxiao already has a very mature response system. He took out a big net and covered the vegetable field, then caught all the chickens and ducks into the inn. He used bamboo strips to weave a chicken coop next to the fireplace and passed it through the door.
Then, he asked Mei Sanniang and the cook a question: If ducks are regarded as rabbits, how can they tell how many rabbits and chickens are in the cage if they only look at their feet.
The cook's answer was very simple. He split the cage open and counted them one by one.
Mei Sanniang slapped him in the face and scolded him as a fool who could only use brute force.
Then, she raised her chin and said proudly, "With a sweep of my consciousness, I could clearly count how many hairs they had."
Li Changxiao was speechless for a while, not too entangled in this issue.
The wind and snow are getting heavier outside, and the weather in this area is always like this.
The wind and snow were blowing, and it was terrifyingly heavy, but there had never been any avalanches. I think it had something to do with the geomantic omen of the place.
But today.
At that time when it was windy and snowy.
Someone still pushed open the inn door.
The visitor was a thin man with a handsome face and an anxious expression. After entering the inn, he looked around and his eyes quickly focused on Li Changxiao.
"Brother Changxiao?" he said in disbelief.
It wasn't until he took off his hood that Li Changxiao could see clearly that the person coming was the prodigy he had met before: Qing Xiao.
Once on the way north, Qingxiao met the gang members of the Extremely Evil Sect and subdued them with thunder. The noise was too loud and attracted Li Changxiao's attention, and the two met and got acquainted.
"Brother Qingxiao, long time no see." Li Chang said with a smile.
"Young boy Qing, I haven't seen you here for a long time." Mei Sanniang said with a smile, "What's wrong with you? The Ten Thousand Immortals Summit is almost over, and you're here now."
Qingxiao quickly apologized and told Mei Sanniang that he was blinded by the snow and lost his way.
Qing Xiao shook off the snow on his body and sat drinking with Li Changxiao, both talking about reform matters.
Li Changxiao smiled and listened quietly most of the time. He looked at Qingxiao's face. After so many years, he seemed to have never aged, and the loyalty was still in his chest.
is a good thing.
Qing Xiao was impassioned and his eyes were getting brighter and brighter. At the end of the sentence, he slapped the stool and stood up suddenly, shouting his slogan and telling his thoughts.
That voice.
Suddenly the eyes of Mei Sanniang and the cook were also attracted.
There was a pause for a few seconds.
The three people in the inn suddenly laughed out loud in unison.
Mei Sanniang waved her hand and decided to give this young man, who was full of blood and passion, a 50% discount.
"Brother Qingxiao, you are still young." Li Changxiao said.
"What? Am I right?" Qing Xiao blinked and looked around in confusion.
"That's right." The cook explained: "What Lao Li means is that when we meet again after hundreds of years, your mentality is still so young and full of vitality. He is happy for you."
Mei Sanniang covered her mouth and smiled softly.
Immediately, she looked at Qing Xiao and said: "Young boy Qing, you stay at the inn tonight. I will give you a jar of plum blossom wine tomorrow, and you go up the mountain to pay homage to your master."
"Okay, okay." Qingxiao nodded, his expression darkened inexplicably.
Li Changxiao took a sip of wine.
He has also seen Qingxiao's thunder method, and the second master also used it.
The thunder method is exclusive to the Taoist sect.
Therefore, Qingxiao and the second master must have a relationship.
Goodbye makes sense.
…
The next day.
Qingxiao took a jar of wine and went up to Meihua Mountain by himself, where he stayed all morning.
At noon, after he had a meal at the inn, Mei Sanniang gave him a few jars of wine and the few grains in the inn.
He also cooked some hot pancakes specially for him and put them on his body to keep him warm and satisfy his hunger.
Qingxiao once again embarked on his own path.
With youth and vigor, and a tenacity that was not afraid of any difficulties and obstacles, he walked towards the reform.
There is an indescribable briskness in his steps, and the wind and snow cannot weigh him down.
He waved.
Gradually disappeared from sight.
The three of them watched quietly, hoping that he would still be like this next time, or the next time they meet.
"Change..." the cook murmured.
He reached out and touched the kitchen knife at his waist.
Li Changxiao looked at Mei Sanniang. This woman was not just a show off, at least in front of Qing Xiao, she looked like an elder.
I even had the pancakes cooked specially.
All the remaining food in the inn was used up, but the cook and Li Changxiao had no intention of blaming him.
That's good.
…
The wind and snow passed.
Firecrackers sounded.
Another year has passed.
This year, the peach blossom trees have grown taller and stronger. The peaches they produce are large, plump and very sweet. You can never buy peaches of such high quality in the outside world.
It can be shaded in summer and peach picking can be done in autumn.
During this year, the inn received many strange guests.
The market is much better than before.
this year.
Two special guests came, a man and a woman. The man was tall and straight, almost like Li Changxiao, and the woman had pink and tender skin and a pleasant appearance.
They were the two little kids who had been saved.
In a blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed.
Counting on fingers, the two have grown up, from this height to that height.
This made Li Changxiao and others feel dazed, as if they had just rescued the two little guys yesterday and sent them home, and today they suddenly grew so big.
They came here to say goodbye. They have grown up and have the capital to venture into the world. The youthful righteousness makes them unwilling to live in a corner, and they know that the outside world is very exciting, with thousands of ways to prolong life...
The first stop is to go to the Sword Sect of the Chitian Dynasty to learn swordsmanship and the way to prolong life.
Li Changxiao told him to be careful on the road, not to drink too much, and not to fight for power.
Mei Sanniang told her to wear clothes tightly, not to dress up too fancy, and not to learn from me. I dress like this, but because I am too strong, no one dares to provoke me. Even if I take off my clothes, I will be fine, but they can't.
The cook frowned and tapped the two of them, leaving two life-saving knife intentions.
After a simple farewell.
The two little brats of the past also left their hometown.
Laiqu Inn... There are comings and goings, or in other words, there must be goings after comings.
Guanbai, Erdangjia...
Li Changxiao is no exception.
This year, Li Changxiao is also leaving.
He heard that there is soul-extending liquid in the west, and Yu Luosha's soul is getting thinner and thinner, so he... wants to go and see.
All good things must come to an end.
The night before leaving.
Mei Sanniang told Li Changxiao that if his tombstone was not moved, he should remember to let her know before he died, and she would help collect the body, but if he died too late, she might not be able to help.
The cook was silent.
This night passed so uneventfully.
The next day.
Someone pushed the door and left.
Laiqu Inn was deserted.
