After the old man sat down, he gave Jin'an, the red-clothed umbrella girl the paper-piercing person, Aping, the fifteen-year-old spirit tablet, and a glass of rice wine.
Then he raised his glass with a sincere look and said: "You must have many questions in your mind now. Before you ask questions, let me represent the whole inn and propose a toast to you."
"You are all good boys. We all see everything you have done for the inn. Thank you for bringing old friends with familiar faces to reunite with me again. We are grateful. Let's do it first."
.”
After the old man finished speaking, he raised his head and took a sip of rice wine from his cup.
Obviously there is only one seat for the old man.
Under the illumination of the lamp Jin placed on the table, it was revealed that there were many people standing behind the old man. They had kind faces and grateful eyes, and they made toasts and drinks in sync with the old man's movements.
Yingyingchuochao.
The station filled most of the guest room.
Everyone’s face is filled with happiness and kind smiles.
Looking at Jin'an, the red-clothed umbrella girl pricking people with paper, Aping, the fifteenth-year spiritual tablet, the Gray Immortal looked grateful.
These people were all tenants who were burned to death in the fire. The reason why they didn't show up was not because they didn't trust Jin An and the others, but because they were all preparing a thank you banquet for Jin An and the others in guest room No. 16.
They do not resent the world because of their suffering.
Not blinded by hatred, only full of hostility and resentment, and no longer trusting others.
Just the opposite.
They held on to the kind thoughts in their hearts. The little girl sleeping on the bed was their obsession with the kind thoughts.
In fact, as early as the beginning, Jin An had already seen that the person sleeping on the bed was a little girl. As for the identity of the little girl, he was already ready to reveal it.
Jin An was moved by this scene. He was really moved. He originally thought the room was quite empty, but he didn't expect that there were so many people packed in an invisible place and the room was so lively. How could he not be moved?
?.
The person who felt the most empathy was A Ping. He was touched by the kindness and obsession of these tenants, and was so moved that he did not dare to move.
While Jin An and A Ping did not dare to move, only one person remained indifferent and started eating and drinking.
Seeing that the rice wine in the wine glass placed in front of the Fifteen Spirit Tablets quickly turned into water.
Moreover, the roasted pigs and stuffed vegetables placed in front of the fifteen spirit tablets all carried heat into the spiritual tablets, and then became moldy and spoiled at a speed visible to the naked eye.
«
Jin An and A Ping, who were still holding up their glasses but not drinking, stared blankly at Fifteen, who was eating and drinking as if no one else was watching.
Fifteen's eating speed was much more than that. After quickly "eating" the roasted fragrant pig and stuffed vegetables, he picked up the fried pork with sour bamboo shoots, fried eggs with sour bamboo shoots, and two plates of hot dishes that were quickly rotting.
Green mildew develops.
This is a bamboo shoot!
Before the others moved the chopsticks, the fifteen dishes have been picked up.
Jin An raised his eyebrows at first, then helplessly clasped his fists at the old man and said, "This friend of mine has a big appetite, which makes the old man laugh."
In fact, Jin An also understood that Shi Fifteen did not intentionally eat alone. Shi Fifteen had no consciousness. He just relied on primitive instinct to eat subconsciously.
Since it was an unintentional mistake, Jin An apologized to the old man on behalf of Shi Fifteen.
Who is it that he took the initiative to put the fifteen spirit tablets on the dinner table?
What a sin, what a sin.
Although Jin An muttered in his heart, he did not slow down in apologizing at all.
Hahaha, the old man laughed heartily: "It's a blessing to be able to eat. It seems that my skills have not deteriorated since I haven't cooked for so many years. Just eat as much as you like."
There is an illusion that the elderly think you are hungry or cold, especially if your cooking skills are recognized, which makes the elderly smile from ear to ear with joy, and then they keep picking up food for the Fifteen Ling Pai.
The scene of picking up food for the Dead Man's Soul Card and talking to himself about the Dead Man's Soul Card is as weird as you can say.
Fifteen people have a primitive eating instinct and will not refuse anyone who comes, taking big gulps of air.
Jin An was still a little restrained at first. He didn't dare to let go in this lively room, but as he got to know him better, he gradually let go. He took the initiative to pick up the chopsticks to pick up the vegetables and toasted the old man. The four old men drank.
Let's have a drink and have a great time.
Men's friendship is actually very simple. You can build a friendship that lasts for ten or twenty years just by drinking.
One of these four great men is considered to be fifteen.
On the contrary, the girl in red with an umbrella pierced her body and did not like the pungent smell of rice wine. From time to time, she would quietly take a bite of food to herself and Hui Daxian, and quietly listen to the four men drinking and bragging.
This dinner was a great time for both the guests and the host. Perhaps it was because it had been so long since I had had such a good time drinking with others. When it came to the end, the old man seemed to be drunk and suddenly started crying uncontrollably.
"Taoist Master Jin'an, thank you for being willing to chat with such a bad old man like me. I hold so many things in my heart that I want to find someone to talk to, but I can't find anyone to talk to. I hold back a lot of things that I want to say.
But when the words came to my lips, I didn't know what to say... The most worthwhile thing I have done in my life is to take in Xi'er. The thing I am most worried about in my life is Xi'er. Taoist Jin'an, Xi'er is our only concern.
, there are too many sins and evils in this place, Xi'er is as clean as a piece of rice paper, I have always protected her, I have never dared to let her see too much evil in the world, I just want her to continue to be carefree
She grew up healthy and healthy... We have always wanted to take her out of here, but we have been unable to escape, and the new tenants who come from outside every year are becoming more and more difficult to deal with. It is becoming more and more difficult for so many of us to deal with it.
We stopped to change places for Xi'er, but we know that this is not an option after all. We are gradually unable to protect Xi'er... She must leave here to have a way to survive. If she stays here, one day she will be killed by those outsiders.
turn up……"
The old man cried drunkenly for a long time, said many drunken words pretending to be drunk, and told many secrets about this inn.
