Mirroring the changes

"Here comes tea~"

But at this moment, a young waiter came out from the inner room, carrying a large iron pot in his hand.

He quickly ran to the table for three people and filled their teacups respectively.

It is said to be tea, but in fact what is poured out is simply hot water.

There is no way, the tea is produced in Xingyue Prefecture and Lingnan Prefecture, the remote western regions, and has been transported thousands of miles to here, and the price has increased more than a hundred times.

It would be nice to have water in this place.

The waiter poured the water but did not leave. He stood in front of the table and glanced at Li Chen and Li Sao, then asked Shali Fei, "Are you paying off the debt?"

As soon as these words came out, Shali Feideng showed an angry look on his face: "What a waste!"

"When did I, Shali Fei, ever use a monk to pay off my debt?"

"Go quickly, let's get a leg of lamb first, and then three bowls of wormwood noodles."

When the waiter heard this, he asked again: "Are you serious that you won't pay back the two sheep you owed before?"

"Crack!"

Shali Fei slapped the table: "Grandma, you are such a badass, you are becoming less and less discerning on the little stool."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I will talk to your shopkeeper!"

When the waiter heard this, he curled his lips and left.

As he walked away, he kept mumbling something.

Two sheep?

Pay the debt now?

Seeing the waiter's eyes full of reluctance, Li Chen couldn't help but feel tight in his heart.

Together with Li Sao, there are exactly two...

However, Li Chen glanced at Sha Lifei with the Jieyu mirror, but he had no evil thoughts in his heart.

Looking at the back of the waiter leaving, he opened his mouth and cursed: "I have been thinking about slaughtering sheep all day long."

After saying that, he quickly turned around and smiled at Li Chen: "Two mages, don't be offended."

"Just a stupid boy."

"The sheep he's talking about are..."

"Ahem, cough, cough, two mages, don't think too much."

Shali Fei looked startled, and then explained awkwardly: "It's understandable that the material in the sea of ​​sand is poor. It's understandable."

"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding."

When Li Chen heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched.

What does it mean to understand?

I really don't understand!

Only then did Li Sao react, and she couldn't help but look at Li Chen with fear.

At this time, I heard Shali Fei laugh again:

"The two mages don't know something."

"I, Shali Fei, also collect and sell sheep, except for monks."

Li Chen's eyes narrowed slightly, but he didn't lie.

Judging from the display in the interpretation mirror, he indeed had no ill intentions towards the two of them.

"It's a long story."

“About when I was young, I participated in the Sand Sea Trial at White Camel Villa.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I entered the sand sea, I encountered sand pirates. My white camel that was leading the way was so irritated that it broke free from the reins and disappeared in the blink of an eye. "

"I'm left wandering around in a sea of ​​sand."

"Just when I was dying and thought I was going to die in the desert, I was rescued by a mysterious monk."

"He showed me the way and helped me walk out of the sea of ​​sand safely. This kindness is truly unforgettable."

"So I decided at that time that in the future, as long as you are a monk, I will do my best to help you, and I will never have any evil thoughts."

After hearing this, Li Chen nodded: "Amitabha."

"Repaying kindness with gratitude is a great good deed."

"Donor Shali Fei is destined to be my Buddha."

Hearing this, Shali Fei smiled all over his face: "That's true, that's true."

"I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha, I have a predestined relationship with the Buddha."

Not long after, the waiter came out again.

Only this time he was holding a tray.

On the tray were three bowls of hot mugwort noodles, which smelled very pleasant.

As for the leg of lamb he wanted, it didn't arrive at all.

Thinking about it, it was because he didn't pay back the 'sheep' he owed the shopkeeper.

"Alas, where is my leg of lamb?"

"Did you make it for me?"

Hearing this, the waiter in the shop froze on his feet and turned around and said: "Our shopkeeper said that mutton is very hot. Like these two masters, you can eat some mugwort noodles to quell the fire."

After saying that, he left without looking back.

Shali Fei was left gnashing his teeth at the table: "Damn stinky bitch!"

Smelly bitch?

Li Chen frowned and realized that the shopkeeper was actually a female.

"You two mages, you're welcome."

"This mouse noodle is indeed defeated by fire."

After saying that, he unceremoniously took out his chopsticks and started to eat happily.

Li Chen and Li Sao looked at each other and each picked up their bowls.

I have to say that even after living in the open air for days, I would be satisfied with just a mouthful of hot food.

The three of them just passed by like this.

In less than a minute, there were three clean white porcelain bowls on the table.

Even though the shop looks shabby, the food here is delicious.

"Two mages, are you full?"

Shali Fei wiped his shiny beard, reached into his arms and dug around for a long time, but no gold or silver came out.

But at this time, Li Chen had already placed a spirit stone on the table.

"Is this enough?"

Shali Fei nodded awkwardly: "Enough! That's enough!"

"This spiritual stone is just enough for the three of us to eat noodles here for three days."

"Three days?"

Li Chen's eyes widened in surprise.

What he obviously meant was that he would stay in the store for three days.

Shali Fei nodded heavily: "Yes, if you want to think about the sand sea, it will take three days at the earliest."

"What? Three days later!"

Li Sao was shocked.

Shali Fei stretched out his hand and scratched his beard: "Yes, it will take three days at the earliest."

"Three days later, a supply team from the Great Zhou will arrive."

"The army?"

Li Chen turned his eyes slightly and blurted out: "Is it because of the sand bandits?"

Sha Lifei laughed: "Master is very capable, he guessed the key at once."

"The sand sea has been uneasy recently, and the sand bandits are getting more rampant."

"From time to time, they rob the passing caravans."

"So now the caravans are staying here and dare not cross the sand sea.

Just wait for the supply army from the military camp to come, and then go together."

After saying that, he nodded, and Li Chen looked in the direction, and it was a few tables of guests.

The clothes on their bodies did not look like those of locals.

Li Chen calculated the time of the "auspicious ceremony" in his mind, and nodded quickly: "Three days is fine, there is plenty of time."

"As long as it goes safely."

Sha Lifei gave a thumbs up: "Master, you are right."

"If we rashly enter the sea of ​​sand now, I am afraid it would be better to be slaughtered like sheep in this store."

Li Chen's mouth twitched. If that's the case, I think those people died for what they deserved.

It's better to be buried in the yellow sand than to fill the stomachs of other merchants.

But at this moment, Sha Lifei suddenly fixed his eyes and glanced at the guest next to him.

"Check out!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the waiter from the store ran out in a hurry.

This was much faster than when he served tea and dishes before.

Seeing a whole piece of spiritual stone on the table, the waiter smiled and said, "Oh, I didn't expect that Sha Xia would meet a fat sheep."

Sha Lifei laughed and scolded, "Go away."

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth."

"Hurry up and arrange a room. I won't keep a record this time."
