NOVEL NEXT Chapter 45 Arrogant and Domineering
Looking at the old man through the dim light, Master Ye did not step forward rashly. After confirming that the man was the target of this trip, he turned around and left the town, and then found a deserted corner to return to the mirror world.
In the Lingxu Cave, in the hut in front of the low mountain, Zhang Jingming completed another practice. His eyes were shining brightly, and his body was like glass, with auspicious colors transpiring and flowing with magical brilliance.
"The old man's name is Jiang Haisheng. His granddaughter Jiang Tingting has a very special physique. She is of Taiyin. She comes from the Jiang Zhe lineage of the ancient family..."
After confirming the identity of the old man through Master Ye, Zhang Jingming thought in his mind, and one idea after another emerged.
……
Early the next morning, the sky broke and the sun rose.
Master Ye reappeared outside the town, entered the forest not far away and shot a deer and a grass chicken, then entered the town again and went straight to the small, remote restaurant.
"Old man, make some food."
Master Ye took two prey and strode into the small restaurant. With a smile on his face, he looked at the old man who was both the shopkeeper, the waiter and the chef.
"Here we come, guest. But there isn't much food left in the shop, only some beef and white flour steamed buns..."
Seeing that the visitor was very impressive and had a master's demeanor when walking around, unlike those scoundrels who usually came here to eat for free, the old man quickly stepped forward to greet him, but immediately felt a little embarrassed and ashamed.
"It's okay. Please help me deal with these two ingredients and make a few special dishes."
Master Ye handed the two preys in his hand to the old man with a warm smile, like a ray of warm sunshine in winter.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
Seeing the fat deer and grass chicken handed over by the young man opposite, and seeing that his clothes were neat and spotless, the old man knew that this man was definitely an extraordinary person and a man of real ability, so he quickly took the two prey and went to process them, preparing to eat them. .
At this moment, a little girl timidly poked half of her head out of the back room, turning her big watery eyes to look at Master Ye quietly.
The little girl looks about five or six years old. Her clothes are very plain and simple. Her white clothes are full of patches. She has two braids and her red face is like a red apple. She looks very cute.
Seeing this cute little girl looking at him quietly, Master Ye gave a kind smile back.
The little girl carefully checked and found that Master Ye didn't look like those bad guys who come here all day long to eat for free. Her sullen face couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, and she jumped up and down to the kitchen to help the old man.
After a while, bursts of fragrant aroma overflowed and filled the entire small restaurant.
The old man brought a small plate of beef with soy sauce first, followed by a few white-flour steamed buns, a plate of wild vegetables, and finally the prepared deer deer and grass chicken.
There were a total of five dishes and one soup, including meat and vegetables, and the portions were very generous. It almost filled a small wooden table, which was a very rich meal.
"Old man, wait a minute. I can't finish the meal by myself. Come sit down and eat together. I'll ask you some questions by the way."
The busy old man was about to leave after serving all the dishes. Master Ye glanced at the stooped old man and the little girl behind him, and spoke slowly.
"Guest, this..."
The old man quickly refused to answer, but was immediately interrupted by Master Ye's next words.
"I like to have a lively meal, but it's a bit boring to eat alone. I haven't eaten yet, and the children behind you can also join us. There are many people. And if I can't finish it by myself, it's just a waste... "
Master Ye's voice is unhurried and slow, with a smile on his face and a sincere look on his face, which makes people feel like they are taking a bath in spring breeze.
The little girl who hid half of her body behind the old man quietly poked her head out and looked at the food on the table. She couldn't take her eyes away. She couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva, which made Master Ye burst into laughter.
"Okay, guest, then we, grandfather and grandson, would rather be respectful than obey."
The old man stopped refusing and reached out to touch the head of the little girl behind him. His eyes were full of love. He took out two more pairs of bowls and chopsticks and pulled the little girl to sit down together.
"I wonder what the guest wants to know? I will tell you everything..."
After sitting down, the old man did not move his chopsticks immediately, but asked.
When the little girl next to her saw this, she sat upright and obediently, although she was extremely greedy, her mouth was full of saliva, and her withered belly made a dissatisfied protest.
"No rush, let's eat together, you're welcome, old man, let's chat while we eat..."
Master Ye signaled the two of them not to be restrained, then picked up a piece of beef with soy sauce and tasted it slowly, and then spoke slowly.
"I come from another place. I just came here and am not familiar with the place, so..."
The three of them enjoyed this sumptuous meal together and chatted while eating. Master Ye asked the old man about some basic information about the town.
The little girl was still a little reluctant to let go. She was timid, and her big eyes moved from time to time, secretly observing the kind guest opposite.
But she saw that there was enough food on the table, enough for three people to eat, and the guest and her grandfather also used their chopsticks one after another. After a while, driven by greed, she lost her reserve and started to eat to her heart's content. Her little face turned red from eating, and she couldn't help but Showing a long-lost smile.
"Grandpa, you should also eat more..."
The little girl gnawed on the chicken legs that the old man gave her and said vaguely.
"Tingting is good..."
The old man patted her little head lovingly, and slowly chewed the delicacy that he had not eaten for an unknown period of time. His expression was slightly dazed, and he seemed to be confused about the food. He came back to his senses and continued talking to Master Ye.
It was almost noon, and the three of them had almost cleared all the food on the table. The little girl's mouth was full of oil, her eyes were watery, and she almost shed tears of emotion.
"Old Jiang, your grandfathers are here to patronize your business. Hurry up and prepare some food and wine for us, otherwise we won't be able to enjoy the good things for you."
Suddenly, a burst of noise came from outside the small restaurant, and a yellow-faced middle-aged man walked in with a few people very arrogantly and kicked over the tables and chairs at the door.
"Grandpa, those bad guys are here again..."
Hearing the arrogant voice, both the old man and the little girl trembled. The little girl reached out and pulled the old man's sleeve, her face turned slightly pale and her voice sounded like crying.
"Tingting, don't be afraid..."
"Guys, there is really no food left in the small shop. This shop is almost closed. You should go elsewhere."
The old man touched the little girl's head, stood up quickly, pulled the little girl behind him, and faced the menacing people.
Bang!
The yellow-faced middle-aged man's face immediately darkened. He slapped the table next to him with his big hand and stared fiercely.
"Old Jiang, we come to your place to eat to give you face. Don't be disrespectful, otherwise we will burn your shabby shop and let you and your granddaughter live on the streets as beggars..."
