Traveling around the world, I have a sign-in system
Chapter 57: Listening to stories in a teahouse.
"I see! It will become more lively after you come! Let's go to the restaurant in Ruyi Town and listen to some books.
I told you before that the storyteller was really amazing, the stories he told were very interesting, and there were also many delicious snacks to try in the restaurant."
Cheng Yu said excitedly, holding Mo Xiaoye on one side and Mo Xiaoya on the other, ready to set off: "Hey, little girl, hello! I'm Cheng Yu, remember? We once met at Xiaoye's apprenticeship banquet."
Mo Xiaoya seemed particularly excited and happy. She grinned and replied, "Of course I remember! Hello, Cheng Yuyuanjun! I have always kept it in my heart.
My memory is super good!" Mo Xiaoya's face bloomed with a brilliant smile, and she seemed to be in a particularly happy mood.
At this time, Grandma Mo's hand was tightly held by Mo Xiaoye: "Grandma, this time we can be considered to be revisiting the old place."
There was a hint of nostalgia in Mo Xiaoye's tone. She and Cheng Yu tacitly performed the magic of shrinking the earth into an inch, and in the blink of an eye they arrived at the outer entrance of Ruyi Town.
"Well, you two girls are so in sync?" Grandma Mo smiled and looked at Mo Xiaoye kindly, then turned her head and noticed Cheng Yu beside her: "Hello, Yuanjun: Xiaoye often says that you are her best friend, and that you are gentle and lively, and a kind fairy. Seeing you today really makes people admire you."
Cheng Yu's face lit up with praise from Grandma Mo. Who doesn't like to be praised? "Hey, Grandma, Xiao Ye calls you Grandma, can I call you that too? I feel embarrassed to be praised by you."
Cheng Yu covered her face with her hands as she walked on the streets of Ruyi Town, her voice full of shyness. Mo Xiaoye found it funny and put his left hand on her shoulder without saying anything, just winking at her.
Grandma Mo smiled and said, "Hahaha, of course you can call me anything you want." She knew that the other party had been practicing for who knows how many years. If they talked about his real age, he must be much older than her.
I call myself grandma only because of Xiaoye's nice face.
Mo Xiaoya ran over with four strings of candied haws in her hand: "Sisters and grandma, I'll treat you to candied haws." She looked happy and shook the candied haws in her hand.
Cheng Yu unceremoniously took a string of candied haws and said, "Thank you, little sister Ya!"
A group of four people were heading towards their destination. A woman in black and red clothes with a big belly was walking towards them. She lowered her head as if she was afraid of being recognized, and walked quickly. Mo Xiaoye and the other three did not notice her.
Just as they passed each other, the person looked at Mo Xiaoye's back with resentment. She had seen Mo Xiaoye being taken into the Celestial Clan's tent by Ling Yu on the bank of Ruoshui River.
She was the underage sister of Bai Qian's sister-in-law. Xuannv came out to look for Li Jing. Ever since she married him, he had been extremely cold towards her and no longer had the enthusiasm he had at the beginning.
She has been living in the Da Ziming Palace. Now that she is pregnant, Li Jing is even more distant from her. When she saw Mo Xiaoye, she subconsciously lowered her head, and then suddenly remembered that the other party didn't seem to have seen her.
Xuannv straightened her back and glanced at Mo Xiaoye in front of her with some disdain. She could not see through the other party's cultivation level at all.
Xuannv just thought that the other party's cultivation was too low, so she couldn't see it.
Mo Xiaoye inexplicably felt that someone was looking at him with malicious eyes, and when he turned around, he met those resentful eyes.
"Cheng Yu, do you know who this person is?" She pretended not to know him and asked Cheng Yu in a low voice.
Cheng Yu looked up at Xuannv and recognized who she was in an instant, with a hint of contempt and disdain in his eyes.
He said in a hissing tone: "She is the underage sister of Bai Qian's eldest sister. She was in the battle between the Wing Clan and the Sky Clan at the Ruoshui Lake.
It was she who stole the battle formation map of the Celestial Clan back then, and in exchange for this map, she asked Qing Cang to acknowledge her as his second daughter-in-law.
Because of this, she has committed too many sins, and the Celestial Clan and the Wing Clan cannot intermarry, so it will be difficult for her or the child in her belly to have a good ending in the future." Cheng Yu's eyes were filled with resentment and disdain.
Mo Xiaoye nodded, indicating that she understood, but she just couldn't understand why the other party would harbor ill will towards her.
The two were talking in low voices. Xuannv had already gone up to the second floor of Ruyi Restaurant. She saw Li Jing sitting in the middle of the crowd, eating peanuts, drinking wine, and listening to the gentleman telling stories. She staggered over to him.
"Husband, you haven't been home for a long time." She pretended to be very tired and hugged Li Jing's left hand and arm with both hands.
Li Jing was already nine-tenths drunk and looked at her with hazy eyes. In his eyes, the person in front of him was no longer Xuannv, but Si Yin: "Ah, Si Yin, have you forgiven me? I always like you." He spoke drunkenly, while gently stroking Xuannv's face with his hand.
Mo Xiaoye and his group of four watched the dramatic scene. They looked at each other, and finally they found two empty tables. As soon as they sat down, the waiter came over.
"Excuse me, sir, would you like peanuts, wine, or tea and snacks?"
Cheng Yu looked at Mo Xiaoye with an inquiring look: "How about this, bring me a pot of tea, a pot of wine, a plate of peanuts, and a plate of snacks. I'll give you any extra silver, but it'll be a tip for you." She threw a piece of silver to the waiter.
"Okay, sir, please wait a moment." The waiter walked away happily.
Mo Xiaoye smiled and turned around to put the two tables together. The four of them sat side by side, looking at the storyteller below.
He was describing the plot of "Water Margin" in vivid detail.
"Wu Song went home to visit his brother. On the way, he passed by Jingyang Ridge. He drank 18 bowls of wine at the hotel at the foot of the hill and staggered toward the top of Jingyang Ridge.
I saw a tree with words written on it: "Recently, there were tigers in Jingyanggang who injured people, but there were merchants in the past. They should form a team to cross the Gang, so please don't make mistakes."
Wu Song thought that this was written by the innkeeper to scare people and attract passers-by to stay in his inn, so he ignored it and continued walking forward.
When the sun was about to set, Wu Song came to a dilapidated temple and saw a government notice posted on the temple door. After reading it, Wu Song realized that there was really a tiger on the mountain. He wanted to go back to the inn, but was afraid of being laughed at by the innkeeper, so he continued to move forward.
Because of the effect of alcohol, he found a large bluestone, lay down on his back, and was about to fall asleep when he heard a whistling wind. A tiger with upturned eyes and a white forehead pounced towards Wu Song. Wu Song quickly dodged and hid behind the tiger.
The tiger leaped forward, and Wu Song dodged again.
When it came to the thrilling part, the gentleman picked up the teacup in his hand, drank a cup of tea, put it down slowly, and then continued to tell the story.
"When the tiger saw Wu Song had dodged, it roared in panic and hit Wu Song with its tail. Wu Song quickly jumped away and took advantage of the moment when the tiger turned around to raise his whistle stick, gather all his strength and hit the tiger on the head.
With a "click" sound, the whistle stick hit the branch above his head and was not stuck.
The tiger became ferocious and pounced on Wu Song again. Wu Song threw away the half-broken stick, rode on the tiger's back, and grabbed the skin on the tiger's head with his left hand.
He hit the tiger's head with his right hand, and soon the tiger's eyes, mouth, nose and ears were bleeding everywhere, and it lay on the ground unable to move.
I don’t know how long he fought, but he fell asleep on the tiger due to alcohol. To know what happened next, please wait for the next episode.”
Bang! !
The gentleman held a long gavel in his hand and slammed the table, making a dull sound.
After he finished his story, he stood up, bowed to everyone, and walked out of the teahouse with graceful steps.
Cheng Yu looked at Mo Xiaoye happily: "Listen, did you hear that? The story told by this gentleman is really interesting. Can you come with me to listen next time?" She said this while clapping excitedly with many other book listeners.
With his face flushed, Mo Xiaoye opened his mouth slightly and clapped his hands vigorously along with them. God knows why there is "Water Margin" in this world?
Shouldn't this be about gods or immortals? It's really hard to understand.
Seeing that there were fewer and fewer people, Cheng Yu stood up hurriedly.
"Let's go back to the Heavenly Palace. I have a feeling that there must be a story between the Second Prince and the little snake. Alas, I was in a hurry to come down and listen to the story, so I left the melon behind. Now we should go eat the melon."
Cheng Yu seemed to remember something and reached out to grab her. Mo Xiaoye and Mo Xiaoya looked at Grandma Mo again.
She wished she could pull out another hand and hold my grandmother's hand so that the four of them could run back to the Heavenly Palace together.
Mo Xiaoye yawned, reached out and pulled Grandma Mo, and walked down to the teahouse together. In her heart, she called the system: "System sign in."
"Ding, congratulations on signing in successfully and gaining one million merits."
Mo Xiaoye was stunned. How come even merits can be earned by signing in?
