"Sir, please move."

The waiter led him to a wall.

Xu Fu saw that the wall was covered with palm-sized sandalwood plaques. Each plaque was engraved with the name of a dish, and the words were painted with gold powder, which was very conspicuous.

"Steamed white river fish, lion fish fillets, eel and tofu soup..."

Xu Fu usually eats whatever is available, but now that he has to choose, he doesn't know what to order.

"Why are there so many fish?" Xu Fu couldn't help but ask when he saw that there were forty or fifty kinds of dishes on the wall with only the word "fish" on them, all of which he had never eaten before.

"The guest officer is joking. If you rely on the mountains, you can eat the mountains, and if you rely on the sea, you can eat the sea. Donghai City is adjacent to the river and the sea. Of course, there are more fish." The waiter in the shop was not impatient at all and explained with a smile.

"Is there any roasted lamb?"

Xu Fu felt a little dazzled and turned to ask the waiter.

"Sir, we don't have roasted lamb, but we have grilled fish in our store, and the big ones weigh fifty or sixty pounds. You may not be able to eat them elsewhere..."

"A big one! A jug of good wine! And some appetizers!"

Xu Fu said, taking out a golden ticket and waving it in front of the waiter's eyes.

"Come on! Sir, please invite me to the private room upstairs..."

The waiter led Xu Fu upstairs and sent him to a private room, then closed the door and left.

This private room is not very spacious. There is a table in the middle and six chairs. There is nothing special about it. But from the faint voices that can be heard, Xu Fu knows that there must be guests on both sides.

Xu Fugang just sat down, and suddenly thought of something, hurriedly walked to the window and pushed it open.

A gust of cool wind suddenly hit Xu Fu's face, which shocked people. The whole room seemed to be filled with wind, and what he saw in front of him made him even more excited.

"ocean!"

This is the first time Xu Fu has seen the sea in his life. He had only read descriptions of the sea in books before. When he saw it today, it was like thousands of miles of waves, all kinds of waves, and a line between the sky and the sea!

Looking at the blue sea, the snow-like waves, the flocks of seabirds, and the lush islands in the sea, Xu Fu felt that his whole body seemed to have become more open, smelling the salty sea breeze, Xu Fu fiercely He stretched out his body, exhaled a breath of thick air from his mouth, and felt very comfortable.

But for some reason, there was no one on the beach outside the east gate, and there were more city guards on the city wall than at the bustling north gate.

At this moment, there was a knock on the door, and the waiter brought a plate of wine and a few side dishes to go with the wine.

This situation is perfect for a drink!

Xu Fu immediately returned to the table and poured himself a full glass. The wine is slightly yellow in the white porcelain cup and has a mellow aroma. It can be seen that it is a high-quality aged wine.

Xu Fu picked up the wine glass and walked to the window, looked at the sky and sea in the distance, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Wow……"

He ran back to the table with his tongue hanging out, picked up the teapot and poured water into his mouth. He took several large sips before he stopped. His throat still felt burning.

"Your Majesty, are you not used to this wine?"

The waiter was about to go out when he saw Xu Fu's appearance and hurriedly came forward to greet him.

"Why is your wine so spicy?" Xu Fu asked breathlessly. After one drink, he felt that his whole body was starting to heat up.

"My guest doesn't know. Donghai City is close to the river and the sea, and the cold and humidity are too strong. Although the wine in the store is strong, it is the best for dispelling cold and dehumidification. Even the wine for the city lord's palace is supplied by the store!" the waiter explained with a little pride. road.

"By the way, I just want to ask you, why is there no one on the beach in the east of the city? Why are there so many guards on the east city wall?"

"My lord, do you know why Donghai City was built here?"

"When the river flows into the sea, merchants gather?"

"The guest officer only knows one thing, but not the other." The waiter in this shop is young, but he is very articulate. When he heard that Xu Fu was new here, he started talking eloquently.

"It used to be a fishing village and was often infested by sea monsters."

"Sea monster?" Xu Fu was shocked when he heard this. Do such legendary monsters really exist?

"Isn't that right! Later, an old immortal came and carried a mountain from nowhere. He flattened the rocks and built a city to block the sea monster."

"It turned out to be some stories about gods and ghosts!" Xu Fu smiled slightly, poured a glass of wine for the waiter, and made an invitation gesture.

"This is not a rumor!" The waiter in the shop became a little anxious when he saw that Xu Fu didn't believe it, and continued: "Nowadays, sea monsters still appear from time to time. The city lord's palace has issued a notice, and no one can leave the east city gate!"

"Really?"

Xu Fu turned his head and looked out the window, looking at the patrolling city guards with doubts.

"Is this true? My grandfather was dragged away by the sea monster!"

When the waiter saw Xu Fu, he still didn't believe it and moved all his elders out.

"Sir, your fish is ready!"

Xu Fu wanted to ask more carefully, but suddenly there was a shout at the door, and the waiter's expression changed. He hurried to open the door and saw two people walking in carrying a big fish.

The fish was placed on the table. Everyone else had already left, but Xu Fu didn't move his chopsticks for a long time. He just looked at the big fish in front of him with a blank expression.

"This fish is too big!" Xu Fu sighed in his heart. The fish was placed on a four-foot-long table with its tail fin still hanging outside. He didn't know how it was caught.

The fish was grilled to a crispy aroma. After Xu Fu looked it over, he simply put down his chopsticks, cut off a large piece of fish belly with a knife, and started eating it directly with his hands.

The fish meat was firm and delicious, which was very different from the fish he had eaten before. Not only did it not have an earthy smell, but it also had a light fruity aroma. Especially for such a big fish, it was really enjoyable to eat, and he ate half of it in a short time.

Just when Xu Fu was about to turn over and eat the other half, someone knocked on the door again. It was the waiter who had not finished the story just now.

"Sir, how are you eating?" The waiter asked respectfully.

"Okay! Okay!" Xu Fu responded while stuffing a piece of fish into his mouth.

"Well... wouldn't it be convenient for you to go downstairs to eat?" The waiter said with a confused look on his face.

"Why, you're afraid I won't give you the money!" Xu Fu was a little dissatisfied. There was no reason to change places after eating half way.

"It's like this. A group of people came just now and insisted on a private room. But now the private room is full. The shopkeeper said that you won't be charged for this meal. I just ask for your convenience." The waiter said He bowed deeply to Xu Fu.

"All right!"

Xu Fu had no intention of embarrassing the waiter. As soon as he stood up and wanted to wash his hands, he saw someone else at the door. He kicked the waiter on the buttocks, causing the waiter to fall to the ground and bleed from the bump.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Get out of here!" A tall man with a beard strode into the house, ignored the waiter lying on the ground, and cursed at Xu Fu.

"What do you do?" Xu Fu asked with some dissatisfaction. Looking at two more people coming in behind the big man, each with a sinewy face and a big waist, he knew that the people here were not good people.

"I am the leader of the Dragon Snake Village in Yaqingshan. I have brought two brothers here to catch the sea monster. You know better and get out of here. Don't dirty my hands!" The big man said as he took off the baggage he was carrying and threw it on On the stool beside him, a thick-backed ghost-headed sword was slapped heavily on the table.

"Catch the Kraken?"

Xu Fu's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Where can we catch him? Count me in!"

"just you?"

The big man was amused by Xu Fu, "What can these thin arms and legs do?"

"I'm strong enough to help you carry the knife." Xu Fu grabbed the big man's long knife and put it on his shoulder.

The big man was slightly startled. His Ghost Head Sword was made of fine iron and weighed more than sixty kilograms. The young man in front of him grabbed it effortlessly, which showed that he had some strength.

At this time, a person behind the big man suddenly took a step forward and whispered in the big man's ear.

"Okay! Since you kid is not afraid of the sea monster, let me open your eyes!"

"Little Er, drink up!"

The two big men behind him looked at each other and smiled, then took off their weapons and found a place to sit down.

"A few strong men are drinking first! I don't know what to call them?"

Xu Fu hadn't touched the pot of wine yet, so he poured a cup for each of the people.

"Good wine!"

The burly man at the head drank it all in one gulp, laughed a few times, and introduced: "These are my brothers who have been with me through life and death. This is the third leader of the Dragon Snake Gang, Hou Liang, that is the fourth leader, Xu Damang, and the second leader is guarding the village. If you’re not here, my name is Mao Dajiang, and I’m nicknamed Jiang Dragon King!”

"I've admired him for a long time, I think the master of Dazhai must be very good at water skills!" Xu Fu hurriedly boasted.

"I'm not bragging. I've been hanging out by the river since I was a child. I've never seen big winds or waves. Don't worry about how deep the water is. What am I doing here?"

"It's like walking on flat ground." Hou Liang on the side quickly answered.

"Yes, it's like walking on flat ground! I think back then..." Yu Dajiang began to talk endlessly about his previous glorious achievements. After listening for a long time, Xu Fu also understood that this was a group of thieves who robbed passing ships on the Jucang River. , this kind of people dare to come to Donghai City to drink openly, which makes Xu Fu a little puzzled.

"At that time, it was a dangerous situation..."

Seeing that Yu Dajiang was in high spirits, he told Xu Fu vividly how he escaped from the blockade of a group of masters six years ago. When he talked about the important points, he even stretched out his hands to make gestures. Xu Fu sounded fine. His two brothers were already drowsy. They must be familiar with these stories.

Seeing that Yu Dajiang was talking so hard, he probably wouldn't be able to finish talking until nightfall, and he showed no intention of stopping even when the food and drinks were served.

"Master of the Dazhai?" Xu Fu finally interrupted, "Why did you say you wanted to catch the sea monster?"

"This! Isn't it that the Lord of Donghai City sent us a hero post asking us to help eliminate demons?" Yu Dajiang took out an envelope from his arms with the three words "hero post" written on it, and waved it in front of Xu Fu's eyes , and put it back into his arms again.

"What exactly is this sea monster?" Xu Fu was very concerned about this question, and the waiter in the shop just now didn't explain it clearly.

"I haven't seen anything. Those sea monsters sound evil, they are just big fish. The Lord of Donghai City wants to make friends with the world's heroes, so the sea monsters are the reason..."

"Don't be ashamed!"

Before Yu Dajiang could finish speaking, he was interrupted by a voice at the door.

"Which turtle grandson is at the door?"

Upon hearing this, Yu Dajiang immediately slapped the table and stood up, while Hou Liang, the leader of the third village, ran to open the door.

As soon as the door opened, the man standing at the door, whom Xu Fu still recognized, was Yang Cai, the senior fellow at Qinglong Shanling Academy whom he had just met not long ago.

Yang Cai grabbed the waiter's arm and stood upright at the door. When he saw Xu Fu in the room, he was slightly startled, and then smiled.

"Who just bullied my little brother?" Yang Cai asked coldly. The waiter in the shop was tightly held by him, but he looked aggrieved and did not dare to say a word.

"I kicked him, what's wrong? You, a turtle, still want to quarrel with me?" Yu Dajiang pulled his robe, revealing half of his strong body, veins popped out on his arms, he clenched his fists and challenged Yang Cai. Xu Damang, the leader of the fourth village, also stood up immediately and glared at Yang Cai.

"Junior Brother Xu, how can you associate with these rude people?" Yang Cai ignored Yu Dajiang, his eyes kept falling on Xu Fu next to Dajiang, and his voice was deliberately raised a bit when he asked.

As soon as he finished speaking, another person walked out of the door. Xu Fu saw him and understood immediately.

Ji Qinglu looked at Xu Fu sitting on the table, obviously in the same group as the three people in the room. She was just depressed at first, but after seeing this, it was like pouring a glass of water into a frying pan, and her whole body was about to explode. .

"What's the point of bullying an honest person? Come at me if you can!" Ji Qinglu said angrily and stepped forward into the house.

"Xiao Nizi is not bad looking! Do you know who this uncle is? The leader of Qingshan Dragon Snake Village, the famous Jianglong King Yu Dajiang!" Hou Liang, the leader of the third village, stood in front and gave the two unknown people in front of him The young man with great talent revealed his identity.

Yu Dajiang, on the other hand, held his head high and stroked his somewhat messy beard. He really looked a bit imposing as the leader of a large village.

Xu Fu sat there, not knowing what to say, and not knowing where this young lady could be so angry. He just hoped that she would curse and leave quickly.

Seeing that Ji Qinglu was silent, Hou Liang thought it was the reputation of Dragon Snake Village that frightened the girl. He immediately cleared his throat and said to Ji Qinglu: "Looking at your young age, our village master is not as experienced as you. Hurry up." Give our village leader a toast and apologize, and forget about it."

After Hou Liang finished speaking, he picked up the glass of wine in front of him and handed it to Ji Qinglu. I have to say that Ji Qinglu looks really handsome. When she gets closer, she feels even more tender. If she could be kidnapped back to the village to be the wife of the village, she would live ten years less!

Yang Cai frowned slightly when he saw that Ji Qinglu actually took the wine glass. This was very different from the Ji Qinglu he knew. However, he did not stop him. With him here, Ji Qinglu would not suffer any loss, and he would have time to take action at the last moment.

Seeing Ji Qinglu taking the wine glass and Yu Dajiang sitting down, Hou Liang hurriedly filled Man Man with wine. It can be seen that this Hou Liang is indeed very discerning, unlike that Xu Damang who just stands there blankly.

"Do you also want to see me toast him?" Ji Qinglu looked at the wine glass in her hand, then looked up at Xu Fu sitting next to Yu Dajiang, and suddenly asked aggrievedly.

Xu Fu did not answer Ji Qinglu's words, but filled himself up with wine, raised his glass and said, "Master Dazhai, this little girl is not sensible, so I'll propose a toast for her! I wish Master Dazhai..."

"Snapped!"

Hou Liang slammed the wine bottle in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Why do you stand for her?"
