This stack of silver notes was worth no less than ten thousand taels. Faced with such a huge sum of money, the boss and his wife were shocked. After a while, the boss slowly said: "Book the venue? This small shop has never been booked before. The money seems to be a lot" "Not too much, not too much, book the venue, the money is just right!" The boss didn't say anything. By the end, the stack of banknotes was already in the hands of the landlady. She held it in front of her eyes and shook it, then she smiled brightly, stuffed the banknote into her arms and said: "Isn't it just a reservation? The shop will be owned by guests from now on. Huohuohuo, I didn't expect us to be like this It¡¯s a shabby shop, hehe, our small shop with beautiful scenery will be booked one day. Old man, you see I have already said that there is nothing wrong with doing business in this place! We can live there for three years now" The boss saw this. He just touched his nose and smiled helplessly. He would never say "no" to the landlady's words, but he still glanced at A Fei and whispered: "Sir, um, what are you booking the room for? Inviting people to eat and drink tea? What if? If you have a plan, I will prepare it early" A Fei breathed a sigh of relief, slowly shook his head and said: "I don't want to invite anyone to dinner, I just want to have a cup of tea quietly, then since you two agreed to it. If anyone comes back later, ask the boss to tell them that the shop is closed today and ask them to come back tomorrow, but don¡¯t say it¡¯s reserved.¡± These words made the two people stunned, and the lady boss laughed softly for a while. She said: "My guest seems to be a person with stories. Ten thousand taels of silver come for a cup of tea. Tsk, are you hiding from your little lover" Under A Fei's strange eyes, she smiled again: "But Since the shop has been booked by the customer, we will try our best to do it. Old man, let¡¯s close the door!¡± The boss smiled without saying a word, walked over and closed the door gently. In the creaking sound of the door, the whole world seemed to be divided into two by a door. The vision in the room dimmed slightly, but A Fei added a sense of security out of thin air. It was like a rainy day on the weekend, with thunder, lightning and rain pouring outside. He stayed in his room watching movies and reading. The two worlds inside and outside were completely different, but he was peaceful and happy in his heart. He knows whether there will be an NPC to harass him soon. If everything goes well, he can even wait until the end of time. Even A Fei himself could not expect that he could escape from the current dangerous situation in this way. Would Senior Brother have expected it? Probably not! Otherwise he's amazing. What about the Golden Ring Sword? Does he know it? Where is he now? Is he still being hunted by NPCs? As for Feng Yi Ling, Baili Bing and the others, should the fighting under the capital wall end? Are everyone dead? He sat in silence for a while, with various thoughts coming to his mind. Somehow, although the danger was temporarily lifted, he was not in such a good mood. After a while, he stretched out his hand, drank the remaining cup of tea in front of him, and then took a deep breath. There is still a strange aroma of pancakes and charcoal fire in the room. This aroma only appears when the pancakes are grilled just right, making the whole room full of the flavor of life. At this moment, A Fei's energy and spirit suddenly changed, and he slowly relaxed. The boss and the wife looked at each other, and the wife stepped forward to add a cup of tea to Ah Fei. Just as she was about to speak, the boss waved and pointed at the stove. The landlady put down the teapot with a smile and walked aside to get busy. This small movement fell into Ah Fei¡¯s eyes, and he couldn¡¯t help but feel something in his heart. He suddenly found that these two people were really interesting. The boss didn't seem to obey the boss's wife blindly. Perhaps the boss lady is more willing to listen to the boss's opinions on some matters. But I saw the boss rubbed his hands, took off his apron and put it aside, and then slowly sat down opposite A Fei. Facing Ah Fei's surprised look, he smiled slightly and said: "Your Majesty, um, I should call you Leader Ku!" But Ah Fei opened his mouth and said, "Boss, you're welcome, just call me Ah Fei!" He didn't know this boss clearly. What to do is just look at each other in surprise. "Brother Ku, I know you want to be alone and think about life quietly now. But if you are interested, you can also chat with me," the boss said with a smile. "Boss, I just booked the venue, and I didn't order any chatting services," A Fei said after holding back for a while. The boss gave a rare laugh and said, "Yes, but it's still a long time. Are you just going to sit here and say nothing to spend this boring time?" A Fei's heart moved and he stared at the boss for a long time. The boss said: "Boss, you seem to know something?" The boss smiled and said: "I know a little bit, but I don't know completely. After all, I can be regarded as half a Jianghu person. When I was young, I also did a lot of fighting and killing. Things." At this point, he raised his eyebrows and the wrinkles on his face relaxed. A Fei suddenly felt that the boss's face was very attractive., and he doesn't seem to be that old. The boss continued: "We do business here, even if we don't leave home, we will always hear guests coming and going talking about things in the world. I know that you are the miserable Ah Fei, the leader of the martial arts league among the players. I also know that you are very good, the whole world knows your name, even the imperial court and Ye Gucheng value you, Dongfang Bubai even wants to get rid of you!" "Of course everyone likes to hear compliments, A Fei touched his nose. , paused and smiled and said: "These things are indeed spread widely, and it's not surprising for you to know. But when you said this, I realized that I am already a famous person. Hey, when I was young, I once dreamed of going back to ancient times and making a name for myself as a chivalrous person. Hey, I realized it in this way today. This game is really worth it!" The boss smiled and said, "Being famous is a good thing after all. I don¡¯t know why you suddenly appeared here. Logically speaking, today is the day when Dongfang Bubai comes to the capital. You should be in the capital, standing next to Ye Gucheng" "You really know it!" A Fei was suddenly shocked. , the whole person became nervous again. He knew that the boss and his wife were high-level NPCs and must also be characters in some novel. But he didn't think these two people were big shots, so he took the risk and asked to book the venue. Seeing that the other party had explained his affairs so clearly, he became nervous again, wondering if these two people were somehow related to Dongfang Bubai? Thinking of this, his expression suddenly changed. The boss smiled and said: "Don't be so excited, Leader Ku. The two of us have nothing to do with anyone or any political power. We are just an old couple opening a shop in the wilderness" "Hey, you are me, I am not. What an old wife?" The young proprietress at the side knocked on the pot with a shovel. The boss also smiled, turned to his wife and said: "Yes, yes, you are still very young! Only I am old!" After comforting the wife of the boss, he turned to A Fei again, smiled slowly and said: "Brother Ku, I am just a little curious. Forget it, who is not curious about Jianghu's affairs! I guess this is Ye Gucheng's new plan, of course you don't have to say it" A Fei was silent, he didn't know whether he should tell the truth to his boss. After a while, he still shook his head and said: "Boss, the matter is so important that I can't take risks. And I can't trust you!" The boss was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said, "That's right. Your caution is not wrong. Ye Gucheng Sure enough, I did not misjudge the person. In this case, I want to ask more, you seem to have something on your mind Well, I can see that this worry has little to do with what you are doing now, but with your friends. "A Fei was so surprised that he suddenly stood up and looked at the boss with wide eyes: "Are you a gm? Are you a makeup artist? How can you see through my mind?" The boss shook his head and said with a smile. : "I said, I'm just a shop owner. Maybe I've lived a long time and seen a lot. Young people have their worries, and their worries are all between your eyebrows." "Oh?" A Fei shook coquettishly. He twitched his eyebrows and said, "Why can't I feel that this happened?" "You'll know when you get to my age." "Boss, how old are you?" "I don't want to talk about this topic in front of my wife." , the boss smiled and said, "Sit down! Tell me what's on your mind, maybe I can give you an idea!" "Boss, I think your plot is very unexpected. Why are you suddenly chatting with me? What are you going to do? What?" A Fei became suspicious, but he still sat down slowly. "Well, this can be regarded as a dungeon plot in the shop. If you chat with me, you can get a bowl of steamed buns for free." The boss smiled, "It's the mutton-enhanced version!" A Fei was so surprised that his face relaxed for a while. He came down and said slowly: "I feel a little hungry when you say that. Well, if this can kill time Boss, you guessed it right, I am indeed worried about something related to my friends in the world." "Oh, you have a friend who treats you badly? Has he betrayed you?", the boss said. Ah Fei shook his head and said: "No, no, no one betrayed me. On the contrary, my friends are very good to me, they are too good to me." The boss did not speak, Ah Fei grinned and said, "Maybe you don't understand "No, I understand!" The boss smiled, with a strange luster in his eyes, "You mean your friends are too good to you, and they are willing to do many things for you, including sacrificing themselves. So you feel a lot of pressure, or you feel guilty, right or wrong?" A Fei looked at him dumbfounded, and then said, "You have indeed lived a long time." The boss smiled and said, "Except for living a long time. , I have actually experienced something similar.??. Well, what do you think? It¡¯s not easy to let go of the burden of friends. " "Yes! A Fei let out a long sigh, "It's always good to have friends to help. I'm very grateful to them." But sometimes I don¡¯t want them to work so hard to help me. Every time I see them appear in front of me, blocking the enemy for me, providing help and strength, and even making suggestions I am both moved and worried. I was worried about their loss and worried that I would not be able to repay the favor in the future. But they didn't give me this opportunity afterwards. I had a lot of unique skills in my hands, but I couldn't give them to them" "The help from friends is priceless. If you give things as gifts, you will be uncomfortable." , the boss chuckled, ¡°No! "A Fei sighed, "But this way, I owe even more favors. Just like today, when I came out of the capital and came to this small store, the many dangers along the way were all resolved because of the efforts of my friends. What do you think I should do to compensate them in the future? The boss smiled and said, "How do you know they must compensate?" "They may not need it, but I want to give it to them," A Fei said frankly. "That's it!" ", the boss said, "You want to give it, but they don't want it. Maybe they are here to help you, not to compensate you. This is where you are struggling now! " "Boss, since you can see through the world of mortals, do you have any good ideas? "A Fei was not too interested in the boss's tongue twister. The boss was silent for a while, then raised his head and said with a smile: "I heard someone say before that help between friends is a kind of trust without any collateral. He doesn't ask for any reward when he helps you, and many of them are even voluntary. But they don't want nothing. What they want is trust between you. Maybe in the future, when they need help, they will believe that you will help. "A Fei was stunned and said: "Is it for my feedback in the future? Do I need to wait until later to give them something? The boss smiled and said, "You can say that." But there are many kinds of feedback, some require you to do something, and some don't. Even your happy and peaceful life is a kind of feedback to them. In this way, they are satisfied, and they get what they want, well, probably some kind of psychological peace. You can think about it this way, if you help others such as Ye Gucheng, will you care about the reward you get? " "Of course I care! "A Fei immediately shouted, "You're kidding, I'm a player! " "If he had no reward to give you, would you still help him? ", the boss said with a smile. A Fei stopped talking, and he suddenly understood what the boss meant. "You see, real friends are actually very easy to be satisfied with your words, a smile, or a meaningless chat and companionship. , are all your feedback. The same is true in the world of martial arts Helping others is an act of trust. Regardless of whether there is reward or not, as long as you feel that this trust can be expected, you will do it. Well, when I say this, I suddenly start to envy you. You said you have many friends? "A Fei thought for a while, made an expression and said: "Maybe! " "Then you really made a profit," the boss said with a smile. "You really didn't play this game in vain. " "Yes! ", A Fei let out a long breath. He smiled, and his mood suddenly became very good. "Paomo is here! "At this time, the proprietress came over at the right time, holding a bowl of steaming steamed buns in her hands, "It was too hot just now, so I cooled it on the window for a while. Have you finished talking? My old man is very good at chatting. Do you feel that your life has meaning again? "A Fei laughed loudly, picked up the chopsticks and said with a smile: "Is this my mission reward today? " "Of course it is! ", the boss and his wife laughed at the same time. A Fei nodded, picked up a piece of mutton with chopsticks, and swallowed it in one gulp. "Not bad, this is the extra-dose version! ", the landlady said with a smile. "The taste is indeed very good. A Fei smiled and was about to praise a few words, but his expression suddenly changed. After a while, he slowly raised his head, looked at the landlady with horrified eyes and said: "Woman landlady, you ¡" "I? What's wrong with me? "The landlady was surprised and touched her face. "Are you trying to kill me? "A Fei said something weird. The landlady was shocked and said: "I want to kill you, what are you talking about? " "If not, why did you poison the steamed buns? "A Fei dropped his chopsticks, stretched out his hand to jam his throat, his eyes widening. (To be continued.)
