Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Inside the hut, the gas from the pot was rising like white smoke, and the whole pot of broth had bottomed out, and the surrounding was filled with a strong aroma of meat.

Old man Xu squinted his eyes, his nose was red, he opened his mouth, and the smell of alcohol was pungent.

"Uncle Xu, you said that you are alone, why don't you find a company? It's just this craft... tsk tsk, even the girls in the wild donkey alley have to live with you..."

Zhou Dao blushed and laughed.

It has been a long time since he ate and drank as well as he did today.

"As long as the girls in Wild Donkey Hutong want to live a good life with you, they must have been exhausted and exhausted..." Old Man Xu shook his head: "They can't stand the toss..."

"Uncle Xu, something is wrong with you." Zhou Dao raised his eyes and took a deep look.

At this age, it is not bad to have someone by your side to take care of it, maybe you want to have other thoughts! ?

"This turbid world is the big dye vat. These women have the heaviest red dust, and they are subjected to countless people. Shen said.

As a watchman, walking day and night, he has seen too many things, and too many people.

These are all seen by the old man Xu.

"There used to be a girl in Wild Ass Hutong, she was pretty good looking, even in Wanhualou, she could be considered the top card, she was very high-spirited, and she didn't want to be like her predecessors, and she didn't want to be like her predecessors, and wait until she was old and pearly, and no one cares. , with a whole body of dirty disease, died of old age here."

Old man Xu's voice sounded slowly in the hut.

Through Bai Teng Teng's anger, Zhou Dao only felt that Xu's figure was a little blurry.

"That girl is very high-spirited and has good luck. She met a benefactor who was passing by and gave her a sum of money to let her live in peace."

"That girl used this money to go to the imperial capital and earned 16,000 taels of silver in less than a year..."

Speaking of this, Zhou Dao couldn't help showing a strange look.

He had heard of this rumor before, but it was a legend in the wild donkey alley.

In less than a year, I earned 16,000 taels of silver. According to the market price, even if each person is 8 silver, it will cost more than 2,000 people. On average, I have to pick up eight people every day. Scalp tingling.

This level of dedication is enough to overwhelm Zhou Dao and make workaholics like Li Shantao feel ashamed.

"It's a pity, the women in the mortal world have received too many people, their breath is mixed, and most of their lives are not good. It didn't take long for that girl to provoke the official family, fined and confiscated their property, and was imprisoned for a long time. After coming out, she became seriously ill again. , quite down and out, no one has ever seen her again."

Old man Xu was expressionless and drank a glass of wine.

The red dust is rolling, there is no such thing as wishful thinking, the girls in the wild donkey alley all want to earn enough money to wash their hands, bring money and silk, find an honest man to marry, and enjoy the rest of their lives.

In fact, most of them failed to do so, and the second half of their lives was extremely miserable.

After all, how can there be so many honest people in this world?

Even when Liushen Daoist was still a mortal, he was honest and responsible, but his wife's trick to get out of the wall, in the end, still forced him to incarnate into a demon and kill an adulterer**.

Most of the women in the red dust have a rough fate, they are helpless, and they are displaced for a lifetime.

In fact, Uncle Xu doesn't seem to be much better than the **** in the wild donkey alley.

"Uncle Xu, do you have any family?" Zhou Dao couldn't help asking.

Uncle Xu was silent, his expression could not be clearly seen in the hazy boiler gas, and the charcoal fire made a chi chi sound.

Uncle Xu raised the wine glass in his hand and drank it all at once. After a long silence, a slightly hoarse and low voice sounded slowly.

"There used to be... but then they all died..."

Zhou Dao's heart skipped a beat, holding the wine glass, silent.

"When I was young, there was a blind man who told me my fortune, saying that my life was too hard and too fierce, the world was vast, and I was afraid that no one could stand it, and whoever came would die..."

"At that time, I was young and frivolous, and I didn't take the blind man's words to heart, but later... things were unpredictable, and the old man had to believe in fate..."

The old man Xu murmured softly, his voice was intermittent, as if whispering and crying.

"At that time, when I was young and thin in spring shirts, I rode on a leaning bridge on horseback, with red sleeves all over the building... Cui Ping Jin bucked, and I was drunk in the flower bushes. This time I saw the flower branches, and I vowed not to return...

"Looking back and recalling Jiangnan Le, Hongyan will never see her before she gets old..."

Old man Xu was lying on the table, he seemed to be crying and laughing, murmuring in his mouth, and he could no longer hear it clearly.

Zhou Dao saw it and sighed softly.

Uncle Xu is also a pitiful person. At his age, his family is not there, and he has to run around for a living.

Thinking of this, Zhou Dao stood up and helped Old Man Xu onto the bed.

"Xiao Zhou... your dog... good dog... eat..." Old man Xu murmured, and in a blink of an eye, he snored loudly.

Zhou Dao cleaned up the house and backed out.

He guessed that Uncle Xu lived alone for too long and no one spoke for a long time. This is only the case today, and Ning was so drunk.

Zhou Dao didn't stay, he turned to leave.

Walking to the yard, he stopped suddenly, and his eyes were attracted by a stone tablet in the corner.

Uncle Xu's yard was full of debris and waste that he had picked up. Among them, this stone carving was the most special, with a dragon's head carved on the top, ferocious, and densely engraved with words.

Zhou Dao's heart moved, he walked over, and leaned over to check.

This stele is not complete, a corner is missing, it is full of cracks, and I don't know where it came from.

"Dragon King Temple!?"

Zhou Dao looked at the words on the stone tablet, and just found out that there was originally a temple on the side of the Nielong River, which was built by the people to worship the Dragon King. Later, the river flooded and flooded the embankment, and the Dragon King Temple was abandoned.

This stone tablet records the legend about the Dragon King, which should be picked up by Uncle Xu.

"Is there really a Dragon King?"

As we all know, a hundred years ago, when the Nielong River was cut off, someone dug out a stone tablet in the mud at the bottom of the river, with the four ancient seals of "Dragon King Lingfu" written on it.

Later, someone boldly dug down where the stone tablet stood, and unexpectedly dug an ancient well, as round as a grinding plate, the size of a courtyard, and there was a rumbling sound inside, and heavy chains were exposed outside.

At this moment, the river water spewed out from the well mouth, drowned many people.

Since then, legends about the Dragon King have spread in Pingjiang City.

If that's the case, it's just a well-known legend at best~lightnovelpub.net~ But someone once went down that ancient well and survived.

The most important thing is that this person is still alive in the world today, and he is not a nobody.

"The number one expert of Linjiang Mansion, King Huo Long!" Zhou Dao couldn't help but looked at the records on the stone tablet.

King Huo Long, who was just an unknown youth back then, but because of that incident, he embarked on the road of cultivation and started his legendary life.

The minister of Linjiang Prefecture, a top official of the imperial court, is said to visit Pingjiang City in person every few years to pay homage to the river.

This makes the legend of the Dragon King more believable.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Zhou Dao's eyes lit up and saw a strange record.

Dragons are sexually lewd, and they have **** with everything. They often enter the mortal world, have **** with things, give birth to a different fetus, and stay in the dragon's cave! !
