The sun was shining outside the window, Lu Sheng was sitting on the second floor of the restaurant, looking down through the open window, there was a sugar vendor on the spacious street, with excellent craftsmanship, and many people lined up around him waiting to give sugar to the children. Sugar hooker.
The line of guests was below the window, occupying almost half of the view. There was a lot of noise outside, mixed with the cries of many children.
This is the town of Busaga, a real frontier town. It is very desolate, so a wandering little sugar trafficker, just with better craftsmanship, attracted many people with their children to line up to buy.
When Lu Sheng went upstairs, most of the guests he saw coming and going were hunters and townspeople. There were few real Jianghu people, and most of them were unscrupulous punks. It's just ordinary people who haven't touched their sides.
At this time, the business on the second floor of the restaurant was booming, most of the tables were already full, and many people were still drinking and ordering.
Suddenly, the waiter on the first floor below came up again, leading a young man with a fair face and a thin figure slowly up.
"Guest officer, there are only the last two seats left, why don't you compete with others and how about eating together?"
The young man frowned and glanced at the second floor, and when he saw the location Xiao Er was pointing at, his frown deepened.
That position was right next to the dining table where the wine orders were being made, and there was a loud noise from the side, and bursts of laughter burst out from time to time.
"Then I'll join the table." He said lightly. His gaze began to roam around the second floor. The line of sight is the clean and tidy desktop.
Suddenly, when his eyes swept across the dining table where Lu Sheng was, his eyes moved slightly.
"I'll just sit there." He pointed at Lu Sheng's table and smiled.
"Wait a moment, I'll ask that guest first." Xiao Er immediately apologized with a bitter face. After all, that one looked like a desperado at first sight.
"It's okay, it's okay, it should be." The young man almost had the words "I'm curious about the Jianghu people" on his face. A pair of big eyes kept gliding across the handle of the knife on Lu Sheng's waist.
Xiao Er ran to Lu Sheng's side, asked in a low voice, and got an affirmative answer, then ran back to reply to the young man.
"The guest said no problem."
"That's good."
Xiao Er led the young man to Lu Sheng's table and sat down slowly. The menu was delivered quickly, and after ordering, the young man frequently looked at Lu Sheng out of the corner of his eye.
After a while, he ate some cold dishes and took the initiative to say hello.
"Brother, thank you very much." He cupped his fists towards Lu Sheng, but his movements were extremely irregular, even if he was younger than the young masters of the Chen family that Lu Sheng saw before.
"It's okay." Lu Sheng smiled.
The two had nothing to say to each other, but after the young man's order came out, Lu Sheng added a few more dishes and a pot of Bichen wine.
"I'm sorry, guest officer, the Bichen wine is sold out...there is only one pot left that this customer ordered." Xiaoer said to Lu Sheng apologetically when serving the dishes.
"Sold out?" Lu Sheng was stunned. The taste of this dust-proof wine is equivalent to the wine-flavored juice with chestnuts and various fruits. In this world where there is no distillation technology to produce high-grade wine, he treats this kind of wine as fruit juice. drink.
"What about other similar wines? Are there any more?" Lu Sheng liked this Bichen wine.
Xiao Er suddenly became more helpless. "I'm sorry, the other fruit wines are also sold out, only rice wine remains."
"Yellow wine?" Lu Sheng shook his head slightly.
"It seems that Xiongtai is also a fellow, it doesn't matter, let's drink this pot together."
The young man was also taken aback for a moment, and then said calmly.
"I grew up drinking this Bichen wine since I was a child. I always come to this Shehualou every month to order a pot of Bichen wine. Over the years, there has been no exception."
Lu Sheng glanced at this man unexpectedly.
"Thank you over there." He smiled. "This wine tastes really good."
"Actually, Xiongtai has never drank another kind of Nine Dragon Snake Wine. It is more mellow and fragrant. Compared with this Bichen wine, it tastes much stronger and is incomparably delicious." The young man laughed, "Speaking of it, look at Xiongtai wine. Dressed like a foreigner, right? When you go out, you will always meet some strange people and strange things. If you don’t mind, brother, you might as well tell me a few strange things, and use it as a drink.”
He paused, and then laughed at himself: "The biggest interest in my life is that I like to hear all kinds of strange things. I only regret that I don't have the opportunity to travel and experience it for myself. I can only pin my hopes on others."
"I know a lot about anecdotes and strange things." Lu Sheng also met this kind of person for the first time, and he could feel that this person's wish was very pure, without any trace of falsification.
"Brother, please serve the food and drink quickly!" The young man's eyes lit up immediately.
His biggest hobby is listening to stories. Once he finds any outsiders in the town, he will find an opportunity to come to ask for advice, hoping that the other party will tell him various anecdotes.
Lu Sheng was not polite either, and chatted casually with this person while drinking. The anecdotes and strange things he knows are far from numerous, they are simply countless. In the Song Dynasty and Dayin, there are all kinds of weird ghosts and strange things everywhere, and it can be said that there are no repetitions for three days and three nights.
This time the young man was like lighting firewood, discussing with Lu Sheng one by one the ghosts in the several stories he told. He has a wide range of knowledge, and even Lu Sheng doesn't know about some ghosts, but he can judge their types, abilities, and general appearance rules at once.
Lu Sheng just thought it was a coincidence at first, but after the follow-up, this young man could even tell the history and appearance of a special monster he had encountered before.
This made his heart shake. He also gradually had an in-depth conversation with the young man.
"Brother Mei, where did you know these things? It's as if you've really seen it before." Lu Sheng couldn't help asking.
This young man also exchanged names with Lu Sheng at this time. His surname is Mei, his name is You Jiang, he is about twenty-four years old, and he lives in this town.
"I am ashamed to say that since I was a child, I have been fond of collecting fragments of ancient books. I am addicted to books. I also like to make friends and collect anecdotes everywhere. Although I know things in detail, I am not sure if they really exist."
"Brother Youjiang, why should you underestimate yourself?" Lu Sheng shook his head, his heart was shaking. He deliberately tested it once before, and what Mei Youjiang said was exactly the same as what he knew and had seen.
"That's not the case. Brother Lu doesn't understand the situation in the next family." Mei Youjiang showed helplessness when he mentioned this. "My old father doesn't like me to make friends with good men everywhere, so I was happy to collect the remnants of ancient books at first, but later the number increased, and it was too much to consume the family's wealth, so I couldn't support it... My family said that I lost my ambition by playing with things. .. But if people don’t pursue one or two ideals in their life, how is life different from those walking dead?”
Lu Sheng also shook his head.
"I am born to be useful. Brother Mei, don't be discouraged. You have a lot of knowledge and knowledge, and you will be able to use it one day. It's just that the opportunity is not enough now."
"I am born to be useful... Good sentences, my brother has a good literary talent, just borrow poetry to drink, come!" Mei Youjiang touched Lu Sheng with his wine glass, and drank it down in one gulp.
The two chatted for a while, and Mei Youjiang was talking about the origin of a strange monster who can understand all kinds of changes, speak well, and understand things.
At the corner of the stairs in the restaurant, another group of people came up, all of them were dressed in gray cloth servant clothes, and the leader was a woman with willow eyebrows and a cherry mouth. Her cheeks are as bright as peach blossoms, her chest is towering and majestic, a red belt is tied around her waist, and her long legs are wrapped in tight dark trousers, which perfectly outlines the entire curve from the woman's legs to her buttocks.
As soon as she came up, she stared at Mei Youjiang who was talking.
"Third Sister! You don't go to greet Second Uncle when he comes. You just hang out in restaurants all day long. If you let Mother know what you're doing here to collect rumors, you'll have to kill me when you go back." Spicy, giving an aggressive look. It can be seen that at home, she is used to making decisions every day.
"Elder Sister!?" Mei Youjiang's complexion changed immediately when he saw this woman, and his voice finally returned to its original crisp and delicate texture. "Brother Lu and I hit it off right away. We talked about the three-day monster. You are so disappointing. What does it matter to me if the second uncle comes? I have to take the initiative to greet you. I am a daughter, and my mother is not ashamed." She said Then he stood up, accused Lu Sheng of a crime, and faced the woman helplessly.
"Let's go, go back quickly. When my mother sees you, she knows that you must have come here. This day is the day you have never forgotten to escape from the dust. As long as you don't see anyone, you must have come here to drink." The woman was also helpless, and reached out and tapped Mei Youjiang's forehead hard.
"You, you, don't be so angry, because of your affairs, the family is also worried."
In a hurry, Mei Youjiang had no choice but to be dragged back by his elder sister. Before leaving, she made an appointment with Lu Sheng, and next time she would continue to meet at this restaurant.
Lu Sheng was also quite interested. Mei Youjiang's hobbies were weird, and he was quite surprised by the channels and sources of information gathering. Unexpectedly, the monster phenomena described in these rumors are exactly the same as the ones he has actually seen.
What is hidden in it is somewhat intriguing. As for whether the person is a man or a woman, he doesn't care at all.
For the next half a month, he also came to this restaurant every day to meet Mei Youjiang. The two talked about everything, and Lu Sheng gradually turned the topic to something he wanted to know, such as the silver dragon The woman in the body is another example, the eight-headed Gryphon.
And he also got some detailed information that he didn't know was true or false.
In addition, during this period of time, the experiments he conducted on Bie Feihe gradually began to yield results. Especially about spiritual exercise. For the time being, he didn't find any sequelae.
It can be seen that the basic method of spiritual power given by Gu Yan should be no problem. Next, he planned to really practice spiritual power. The inkstone gave him spiritual power to practice, there must be some plot, and he hoped that his spiritual power would increase even more.
He planned to do as the other party wished, using Deep Blue to deduce a deeper spiritual power method to enhance Lu Zhong's physical strength.
But at this moment, the Mei family in the town sent someone to send an invitation to the small courtyard where he lived. The post was posted by Mei Youjiang, but the content was somewhat troublesome. Mei Youjiang was actually kidnapped, and now he has disappeared out of the city.
The person who sent the letter was her personal maid, Xing'er, who was like a sister to her, so she thought of writing to ask those who are on good terms with this strange young lady to let them know.
Obviously, Lu Sheng was barely included in it because of his drinking with Mei Youjiang these days.
Mei's.
"What should I do? What should I do!?" Mei Yinhong, the eldest sister of the Mei family, wandered back and forth in the yard anxiously.
"Little sister has been out for fourteen hours and hasn't come back yet. She is blind from birth and can't find the direction at all. How could she follow an unfamiliar outsider so far away from the city? There must be tricks in it!" Second sister Mei Xiulan said calmly, but her fingers that kept clenching and loosening showed that she was not as calm as she appeared on the surface.
"The government has also reported the case. Our people have been sent out to look for it. So far, there is no result. I have searched all the places she often likes to go. There is no one. Since the blackmail letter was left by someone, we may be able to find it." Extend from this clue to find someone."
"I'm already doing it." Mei Yinhong nodded.
Boom! Crash!
There was a sound of smashing porcelain from afar. Immediately afterwards, some people scolded and yelled, as if they were arguing.
"What's going on in Little Girl's Yingxiangyuan? Why is it so noisy!?" Mei Yinhong asked a little angrily.
"I heard that it's my little sister's friends from all corners of the world who get together to discuss how to rescue my little sister." Mei Xiulan frowned.
"It will add to the chaos!" Mei Yin became angry and cursed in a low voice.
"It's better to talk than nothing. I hope to have more strength now." Mei Xiulan smiled wryly.
