Junior brother, he is both wild and fierce

He stared blankly at the little girl in front of him who was prettier than the doll in the New Year picture.

He whispered: "Are you...are you a fairy?"

Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then smiled playfully.

She put her index finger to her lips, smiling, "You must keep it a secret, I am a fairy who came from a mountain far, far away."

The way the little beggar nodded seriously made Xiao Qingzhi laugh.

As she spoke, she took off her warm white mink coat and covered the little beggar with it, and put the silver and money given by the master into the little beggar's arms.

A faint green wood scent lingers at the tip of the nose.

He looked at the fairy in front of him in disbelief.

Why is she so nice to me?

Xiao Qingzhi said, "Take this money and buy some delicious hot food. It's snowing heavily today. Go find a place to avoid the snow. I'm leaving now."

After Xiao Qingzhi finished speaking, he quickly ran back to Lin Yuan.

"Master, I'm back, let's go!"

Seeing that her disciple also gave her cold-weather coat to the little beggar, Lin Yuan quickly took off her coat and put it on her, asking distressedly, "Are you cold?"

Xiao Qingzhi smiled and said, "Master, you are underestimating Qingzhi. After all, Qingzhi is a cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage. This little bit of snow is nothing."

Lin Yuan stretched out his hand and scratched Xiao Qingzhi's nose, which was red from the cold, and smiled helplessly, "Okay, okay, your teacher's Xiao Qingzhi is the best."

Xiao Qingzhi raised his head high and said proudly: "That's it!"

Soon, they found an inn.

Because there were no guests, the innkeeper was dozing off at the counter.

Lin Yuan knocked on the counter three times.

dong dong dong.

The innkeeper who was sleeping soundly was suddenly woken up.

"Who is it? Disturbing my sweet dreams."

The shopkeeper rubbed his eyes sleepily and looked around in a daze, then met a pair of sharp eyes.

A visitor is coming.

The shopkeeper suddenly lost all sleepiness and greeted them warmly, "Are you two here for a quick stop or to stay overnight? Hehehehe."

The shopkeeper had a fawning look on his face, afraid that the two would leave.

In recent days, the residents of Lin'an City have become panic-stricken due to ghost stories and cannibalism, and every household has closed their doors.

The originally bustling city of Lin'an turned extremely deserted overnight, with few people to be seen on the streets.

Lin Yuan politely said to the shopkeeper: "We will stay in the hotel. Please prepare a few more dishes and warm up a pot of good wine."

As he said this, he placed a gold ingot on the counter.

The shopkeeper's eyes almost popped out when he saw the glittering gold on the counter. He quickly reached out to take it and bit it hard with his teeth. It was hard and real gold. The shopkeeper's face showed even more flattery.

The shopkeeper quickly put the gold into his inner garment, as if he was afraid that the customer in front of him would regret it. He smiled and said:

"Okay, okay, I'll prepare hot food for the two distinguished guests right away. Please take a seat for a while, and the hot food will be served soon."

Lin Yuan saw the shopkeeper running quickly to the kitchen and couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Sometimes mortals are really interesting.

Xiao Qingzhi looked at Lin Yuan in confusion, "Master, what are you laughing at?"

Lin Yuan's eyes grew dim. Although ordinary people can only live for a few decades, they are easier to be happy than cultivators. Cultivators can live for hundreds or thousands of years, but the longer they live, the easier it is for them to feel numb, and it is difficult for them to be truly happy.

Lin Yuan rubbed Xiao Qingzhi's hair and said, "Nothing? My dear disciple, are you hungry?"

Xiao Qingzhi rubbed his flat belly and said, "I've been hungry for a long time."

Lin Yuan tapped Xiao Qingzhi's forehead a few times helplessly, pretending to be serious and said:

"Disciple, you are a girl, how can you rub your belly in front of outsiders? What did your master teach you every day? Have you forgotten?"

Xiao Qingzhi covered her forehead, pouted and said aggrievedly: "Master is not an outsider."

In her heart, the master is like her father, who takes care of her, protects her, and teaches her. He is not an outsider.

Seeing the disappointment in Lin Yuan's eyes, Xiao Qingzhi's eyes immediately turned red.

"I'm sorry, Master. Qingzhi was wrong. I won't do that again next time."

"Master, please don't be angry, okay?"

She didn't want to let her master down.

Xiao Qingzhi's voice was soft and sticky, with a slight tremor, which made him sound even more pitiful.

Lin Yuan sighed helplessly.

He raised Xiao Qingzhi since she was a child, and he doted on her too much on weekdays.

As an old father, Lin Yuan was breastfeeding his baby for the first time and was very afraid that the baby would grow up crooked.

Seeing Xiao Qingzhi crying, Lin Yuan softened her heart.

He regretted being so harsh just now.

"Okay, okay, Master is not angry, don't cry, Xiao Qingzhi."

Xiao Qingzhi shook his head and said stubbornly:

"Master, Qingzhi didn't cry. Qingzhi just had sand in his eyes. That's right, only when there's sand in his eyes will he want to cry."

When Lin Yuan saw Xiao Qingzhi's stubborn look, he couldn't help but burst out laughing.

His little apprentice is so cute.

"Okay, okay, I'm not crying, I just got sand in my stomach."

After working for half an hour, the shopkeeper finally brought out three dishes and a soup.

The shopkeeper hurriedly apologized: "Sorry, my two distinguished guests, I have kept you waiting for so long."

"There haven't been many customers in the restaurant recently, and the kitchen hasn't prepared many dishes, so it took a little longer to serve the dishes. The dishes are also a little simple, so I hope the two distinguished guests can bear with it."

"Sorry, sorry, my two distinguished guests."

After saying this, the shopkeeper smiled awkwardly.

The shopkeeper was afraid of angering the God of Wealth, so he took the gold back.

Lin Yuan looked at the table. There were steamed fish, tofu with green onions, sweet and sour pork ribs, and egg drop soup. These dishes were pretty good and not as bad as the shopkeeper said.

Seeing the shopkeeper's anxious forehead covered with sweat, Xiao Qingzhi said, "Master, Qingzhi thinks these dishes are good and smell good."

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "It's okay, shopkeeper. These are good enough."

The shopkeeper heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the distinguished guest did not make any trouble.

He is worthy of being the God of Wealth. He is much better than those poor and picky guests.

He smiled and said, "From the accents of the two distinguished guests, you don't sound like locals? Are you visiting relatives or friends in Lin'an?"

Lin Yuan: “Visiting a friend.”

The shopkeeper nodded, it turned out to be his dinner friend.

Seeing that the two looked friendly, the shopkeeper kindly reminded them, "Dear guests, Lin'an City has been in turmoil these days, so it's best to leave as soon as possible."

"Oh?"

Lin Yuan raised his eyebrows. He wanted to find out what happened in Lin'an City.

"Boss, what happened in Lin'an City? I was in Lin'an City a few years ago, and everything was fine."

The shopkeeper was about to speak.

With a loud bang, the biting snow wind blew the door open, making a loud noise.

The shopkeeper was startled by the sudden loud noise and his face changed.

He smiled apologetically at Lin Yuan and the others, then hurried forward and looked outside. It was already completely dark outside, and it was pitch black without a single ghost in sight.

The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, quickly retracted his head, and slammed the door shut.

After finishing everything, he returned to Lin Yuan and the others, and looked around nervously, as if he was afraid that someone might overhear their conversation.

The shopkeeper whispered, "My two distinguished guests, if you want to save your lives, you'd better leave quickly."
