Lanke Chess Edge

The three of them looked at the bones at Ji Yuan's feet. The large belly was a little exaggerated. This wild boar is no longer a small wild boar. After removing the bones, there are at least dozens of catties of meat. Even considering the shrinkage after roasting, it still doesn't matter. Not much, and the three of them together ate less than ten catties at most.

The three of them looked at Ji Yuan's inconspicuous stomach, and felt it was even more absurd, but the man who was close to Ji Yuan hurriedly said.

"Uh huh, sir, as long as you can eat it, anyway, the meat is to be eaten after it's cooked."

The man in charge of the barbecue, who was obviously the leader, even pointed at the wild boar on the grill before the young man next to him could speak.

"Yes, sir, as long as you can eat it! By the way, there is an unmoved front leg. If you can eat it, sir, just eat it."

On the grill with the wild boar tied up, there was a pig's head, a front leg, and a spine with some meat attached to it. Although Ji Yuan could still eat it, but with such a large half of the wild boar, even he could be regarded as having a good time. , smiled and shook his head.

"Ji has had a very satisfying meal. It's been a long time since I've eaten like this. Thank you three for your hospitality!"

While laughing, Ji Yuan shook his hands, and all the grease on his hands was thrown to the ground. There was no trace of oil stain on his fingernails, and then he reached into his sleeve and took out two pieces of broken silver.

"I don't know how to sell the cooked wild pork."

Ji Yuan could see that the three of them were planning to dry the pork and carry it easily. If he just ate some as a meal, others would definitely not have any opinions, but he didn't keep his mouth shut on a whim, and almost ate it all. , I feel a little sorry for the fate.

But as soon as Ji Yuan took out the silver, the two older men opposite immediately shook their heads and waved their hands.

"No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, Mister is a scholar of heaven and man, one lesson is enough to beat a mere wild boar, this kind of livestock can be caught again, Mister's golden words may not be heard everywhere!"

"That's right, Mr. Ji, it's just a little pork. I'm still suffering because I haven't entertained you well. If I had known that I would meet Mr. today, I wouldn't have drank all the wine yesterday! At this moment, I only hate that there is no wine. By the way, there is another one here." A backbone, a foreleg, and a pig's head, sir, eat to your heart's content!"

Hearing that the other party refused to take the money, and only hated having no wine, Ji Yuan couldn't help but stood up immediately and said.

"A few people didn't mention Ji and they forgot. In fact, Ji still had some luggage in the woods behind. It was just that he had to guard against others, so he didn't bring it with him. I hope the three of you don't blame me for the vague words at the beginning. There is still some good wine in the bag, the three of you will wait for a while, and Ji will go get the wine and come back!"

The man in the middle didn't hesitate at all, he just stood up and cupped his hands.

"Sir, just go. If the wine is heavy, do you need to follow me, so I can help carry it?"

"No, no, it's good that you can trust Ji, I'll come back as soon as I go!"

After saying that, Ji Yuan turned around and left in the direction of the forest.

Watching Ji Yuan disappear at the mouth of the woods, the young man who had been holding back his words finally couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brothers, this Mr. Ji is too good to eat. We planned to prepare this wild boar's food for ten days, but he has almost eaten it in one meal. He wants to pay, why don't you Take it, the broken silver just now is worth half a tael, right?"

The two looked in the direction of the woods, and then looked at the young man together. The barbecue man smiled and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Qi, can ordinary people eat so much meat?"

The young man shook his head quickly.

"How is that possible!"

"Then let me ask you again, when Mr. Ji talked about Yin Gong just now, what did Yin Gong represent?"

The young man frowned, slightly puzzled.

"Wenquxing, what's the matter? He even pointed out the stars to us. Is there any problem?"

The other man couldn't help but laugh too.

"Xiao Qi, I forgot how Mr. Ji pointed it out to us. Can you help me recall it?"

"To forget so quickly, isn't it..."

The young man raised his head and pointed towards the air, but his movements stopped immediately, his eyes widened and his mouth opened slightly, and he didn't know where to point his fingers.

"Where are the stars..."

"Hey, Xiao Qi, it's a sunny day, how can we see the stars?"

"But Mr. Ji just now..."

The young man had already recalled what he had said so far, and looked at the two elder brothers with exaggerated expressions, then the barbecue guy nodded and patted the young man on the shoulder again.

"Xiao Qi, you are still a little young after all. This Mr. Ji is knowledgeable and elegant, and he is absolutely extraordinary. For the sake of good and bad, how can you neglect him?"

The three of them waited for a long time, and Ji Yuan had already returned, with a smile on his face, and a few more emerald green bamboo tubes with ropes in his hands, which seemed to be the so-called hip flasks.

"Come here, if you invite Ji to eat meat, then Ji will invite you to drink?"

"It's really wine, that's great!" "Hahaha, sir, take your seat quickly, this pork head is the most suitable for drinking!"

The three of them were enthusiastic, they came to help Ji Yuan carry the wine, and then asked him to sit down.

Ji Yuan handed the bamboo tubes in his hands to three people respectively, exactly one for each of the four, and he was the first to unplug the plug, and immediately a scent of wine wafted out.

"This wine is called Dajiao wine. It is produced in Tianbao Kingdom. It is strong and mellow. It is very rare. It is absolutely difficult to drink here. As the saying goes, rare things are valuable, so Ji is worth all of them hahaha. "

"What you said is very true, in this situation, a catty of wine is worth a tael of gold!"

The three of them took the wine and uncorked it one after another. They only felt that the aroma of the wine mixed with the fragrance of bamboo was very attractive, and the bamboo looked like it was freshly cut.

"Ji drinks first as a respect!"

Ji Yuan couldn't bear the alcohol addiction long ago. Before Jin Linzi, he took out the thousand-dou pot and drank a few sips. Now he also held the bamboo tube to his mouth and drank. The other three looked at each other. Under the circumstances, he also picked up the bamboo tube and took a sip, and immediately poured the strong wine into his throat, which was both stimulating and refreshing, and he drank the wine, sweating all over his body.

"Good wine! Good wine!" "It's really good wine!"

"It's delicious, it's delicious!"

These words were sincere, and Ji Yuan was happier listening to them, and he couldn't help but relax his slightly tense nerves during this period of time.

"It's good if you like it."

The three of them just cut and ate the remaining pork bit by bit with small knives, and put it into their stomachs together with strong wine, which was considered a rare enjoyment.

The wine fueled the fun and courage, and gradually the three of them became more open-minded. When Ji Yuan was about to drink up the wine in the bamboo tube, the oldest man who had only drank less than a third of it still continued with the previous topic Just after the gap, I asked a question.

"Mr. Ji, you know a lot and have a lot of experience. Can you give us three pointers?"

Ji Yuan took a sip of his wine, but didn't speak immediately, the man hurriedly added.

"Listening to what you said today, sir, we know that great changes are imminent in my home country, Yue. We are just mediocre hunters, and we don't have any big wishes, just to eat enough, clothe ourselves and live in peace."

Ji Yuan swallowed the wine in his mouth, smiled and said.

"That's easy. Give up the idea of ​​going to the Zuyue Army Village to join the army, and just go home and live a good life. With the skills of the three, no matter how bad they are, they won't starve to death."

"this……"

The three of them looked at each other, a little embarrassed.

"Sir, I didn't mean to hide it from you. In fact, after hearing what you said before, it's even more difficult to say..."

"Yes, and needless to say, sir, no matter how good the South Camp is, I will never join the army again!"

After chatting for so long and almost eating a wild boar, how could Ji Yuan not see what the three of them were going to do? Now that the wine in his bamboo tube had dried up, Ji Yuan patted his buttocks and stood up, facing his face The three of them slightly cupped their hands.

"Eat well, drink well, and have enough wine and food. Ji should say goodbye. Oh, by the way, if you want to cross the mountain in the southwest direction, don't take the canyon path, which is a place for monsters; if you want to go through the forest in the south direction Don't stay in the plain at night, this dark place, try to take the daytime and go through it in one go, that's all, Ji bids his farewell!"

"Uh, sir, you're leaving now..."

"Sir, sir, wait a moment!"

Two of the three stood up, and the man in the middle took out an oiled paper bag from the luggage behind him, shook out the dry food in it, then took the knife and cut the remaining half of the wild boar's head. The meat was quickly sliced ​​off, put the meat in a greased paper bag, and then stood up in front of Ji Yuan.

"I know that Mr. is an extraordinary person, we don't have anything very valuable, just be careful, accept it!"

Seeing the oiled paper package that the man handed over with both hands, Ji Yuan hesitated for a moment, but still took it, thought for a while, stretched his left hand into the sleeve of his right hand, and took out three green fruits.

"I almost forgot. I was getting tired after eating so much meat. This jujube is sweet and delicious, and it's the best way to relieve tiredness. Let's take one per person."

After stuffing the dates to the three of them, Ji Yuan carried the oiled paper bag and headed away towards the northeast far away from the river bank. When Ji Yuan was gone, the man who gave the meat suddenly slapped his thigh hard.

"Oh! We are so confused. We haven't even reported our name and family name. No wonder the husband doesn't want to see us!"

"Ah? Oops! I just listened to the master's talk about world affairs and forgot about it!"

Seeing the remorse of the two elder brothers, the young man hurriedly said.

"Then go after it now?"

"Hey, forget it, I guess I won't be able to catch up."

The man took a bite of the fruit in his hand in remorse, and immediately the fragrance overflowed his lips and teeth, and even the drunkenness from drinking too much wine before was dispelled by this sweetness...

But at this time, Ji Yuan had already gone far away, even if the three of them really came after them, they would definitely not be able to catch up. He was carrying the oily paper bag with residual heat in his hand, weighed it and put it in his sleeve with a smile.

The meal by the wilderness river was not only for eating comfortably and drinking well, but also for knowing the mentality of some people in Zuyue. This was one of the things he wanted to know in Zuyue. The imperial court of the capital and those so-called immortal masters who are now on the boat of the Zuyue Kingdom are also more concerned about the affairs of the people.
