Origin

Wu Zhongyuan nodded slowly. What the old blind man said was indeed true. It was indeed not easy for him to survive until now.

The old blind man's previous words were more or less flattering. Wu Zhongyuan didn't want to continue asking, but in order to test his reaction, he still asked, "Why do you say I know people with my sharp eyes?"

The old blind man smiled and waved his hands, "Haha, ashamed, ashamed."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled again and said, "How can you tolerate someone's judgment?"

The old blind man did not answer immediately. After the waiter put down the wine jar and turned to leave, he coughed twice and said slowly, "Cows and sheep are in groups, and ferocious beasts walk alone. Cows and sheep are the weak ones. Weak people are in groups. What they want is to take care of each other." . The ferocious beasts are the strong ones, and the strong ones go alone because they dominate one area without the help of external forces. Therefore, only cattle and sheep can be close to the same kind, while the ferocious beasts often exclude the same kind."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled and nodded. The old blind man's words were both flattering him and flaunting himself. He was not disgusted with the old blind man's self-advertisement, because what the old blind man told was the truth. A truly smart person would always have a good impression of himself. With a clear understanding, cows and sheep may think that they are tigers, but tigers will never think of themselves as cows and sheep.

The old blind man couldn't see and didn't know that Wu Zhongyuan was smiling and nodding. He was not sure what his attitude was towards his words, so he couldn't help but feel a little uneasy.

When Wu Zhongyuan saw this, he hurriedly said, "That makes sense."

The old blind man secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Wu Zhongyuan grabbed the wine jar, opened the mud seal, poured the wine, "How long have you lived in Goat Valley?"

"It's been almost ten years." The old blind man knew that Wu Zhongyuan was pouring wine for him, so he hurriedly bowed to express his gratitude. The bow at this time was different from that of later generations, but the posture was roughly the same.

"Have you ever been to other places before this?" Wu Zhongyuan asked again.

The old blind man nodded slowly, "I have traveled everywhere."

Wu Zhongyuan put down the wine jar and pushed the wine bowl in front of the old blind man, "Who are you?"

The old blind man was touching the wine bowl. Hearing Wu Zhongyuan's words, the movements of his hands immediately stopped. He was blind. His eyes could not convey emotions, but his expression could. His expression was nervous and doubtful.

"If you don't have a mount, it won't be easy to travel around." Wu Zhongyuan said, this is not the modern era. There are planes and trains, and you can travel all over the world. The most important thing is that the environment at this time is harsh. If you don't have any real skills, , running around is equivalent to seeking death.

The old blind man nodded, "It's a long story. I won't elaborate until I leave here."

Wu Zhongyuan nodded. After nodding, he remembered that the old blind man couldn't see his movements, so he added, "Yeah."

The reason why he asked this was to find out the true origin of the old blind man. If the old blind man didn't tell, then even if the old blind man had great abilities, he wouldn't use him. How could we work together if we didn't confide in him? The old blind man seemed to know this, and he did not refuse outright, but stated that he would wait until he left here. The old blind man's response also showed his attitude, saying that he would definitely say it, but only after he made a formal decision to hire.

"Please." Wu Zhongyuan picked up the wine bowl.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The old blind man picked up the wine bowl, took a sip first, and then drank it all, without concealing his love for the wine.

Restaurants at this time were not like modern restaurants. There were many dishes to choose from. Even in the best restaurants, the dishes were not rich. They served two cold dishes first.

Cold Shua gourd and lettuce and fungus. Shuaji is a plant similar to a gourd, but not in the shape of a gourd. It is somewhat like a winter melon but not as big as a winter melon. Shuan is a bean.

Next came two hot dishes, scrambled eggs with leeks and steamed lamb leg. They were different from the modern scrambled eggs with leeks. The leeks were chopped very finely and mixed with the beaten eggs. The steamed lamb leg is the hind leg of the lamb. There are two cutting knives on the whole body. The dipping sauce is wild garlic and sand ginger.

The soup is a flying dragon wild mushroom soup, and the flying dragon is the hazel pheasant of later generations, not a real dragon.

Although the four dishes and one soup were a bit shabby, it was considered a luxury at this time. His biggest feeling after coming back was that modern people are so blessed that they are not only safe and secure, but also able to eat whatever they want.

The old blind man couldn't see and couldn't pick up his own food, so Wu Zhongyuan helped him pick up the dishes and serve the soup. Although this was to show his courtesy to the corporal, it also had another purpose. A truly knowledgeable person must have eaten all over the place, and even if he has failed, he will still have his own unique judgment on food.

For every dish, Wu Zhongyuan would ask the same question, "How is this dish? Is it still to your liking?"

"Very good, very good. It's just that the gourd has been stored for a long time and is not very crispy."

"This fungus is taken from the oak tree in the north. It's very rare to find it here. It's just that it's in the mouth of a person like me who hates it. It's wrong."

"I haven't eaten sand grouse eggs in many years."

"Steamed to medium rare, just right, just right."

The last soup was also served by Wu Zhongyuan for him. In addition to the fungi in the soup, there was also a chicken leg in it.

The old blind man took the soup bowl and didn't take it immediately. Instead, he used chopsticks to fish it out. When he realized that there were chicken legs in the soup, he shook his head repeatedly, "Can't eat it, can't eat it. Change it, change it."

Wu Zhongyuan didn't know why and asked the reason. The old blind man just didn't want to eat the chicken legs and asked him to change them.

So Wu Zhongyuan gave him chicken wings instead.

The old blind man discerned things and shook his head again, "The flying dragon has been given thighs and arms by heaven, and it has fully fledged its wings. It can't be eaten. It can't be eaten. It's a blessing and it won't give up. It's good to be given a bite of seasoned wild mushrooms."

Wu Zhongyuan smiled. It was a smile. Thinking that the old blind man could not see, he laughed out loud. The old blind man's move had a profound meaning. He took the opportunity to express his attitude and positioning to him. In the old blind man's view, He has his own femoral and humeral assistants, and he originally had flying wings. His position and function are not the legs, feet and wings of the flying dragon, but just the ingredients of the flying dragon.

After laughing, Wu Zhongyuan placed the soup bowl with chicken wings in front of the old blind man, "It's disrespectful."

When the old blind man heard this, he looked pleased, but the disrespectful words were usually said by superiors to subordinates, with a certain commanding meaning. This also indirectly revealed Wu Zhongyuan's attitude, and the matter was basically settled.

But the old blind man still didn't drink the bowl of soup. After thanking him, he carefully pushed it aside and said, "I'll drink it later."

Wu Zhongyuan poured another glass of wine for the old blind man. After drinking, the old blind man returned the bowl to the table and said, "If you have any questions, please ask."

"What should I do now?" Wu Zhongyuan asked.

"It depends on what you want?" the old blind man said solemnly.

"He." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"Xiaohe? Yamato?" the old blind man asked seriously.

"Yamato." Wu Zhongyuan said.

"If you want great peace, you must go through a war. If you want to go through a war, you must first gain a foothold." The old blind man answered simply.

"I already have a foothold," Wu Zhongyuan said, "the six walled cities of Jiulian, Jiumu, Daze, Gushan, Hongshan and Lishan."

"I have heard about this," the old blind man nodded, "but your footing is not yet stable, so you should not act rashly. The top priority is to consolidate your foundation."

"I would like to hear the details." Wu Zhongyuan said.

The old blind man didn't answer immediately. He pondered for a long time before shaking his head and saying, "Although you have six cities, you belong to three tribes. People's hearts are unstable and the wind is blowing. It is not a good time to recruit talents. If you want to build a solid foundation, you can only proceed with caution. Defend your position. If your intentions are strong, you can only take the wrong direction."

After the old blind man finished speaking, Wu Zhongyuan brought the bowl of Feilong soup in front of him, "Please use it."

How could the old blind man not understand Wu Zhongyuan's intention? He fumbled and took it, saying with a bit of fear in his joy, "Thank you, thank you so much."

After the old blind man took a sip and put down the soup bowl, Wu Zhongyuan asked again, "What's your surname, brother?"

"To be honest, I have the same surname as Wang." said the old blind man.

Wu Zhongyuan frowned when he heard this. At this time, the last name represented the ethnic group. The king in the old blind man's mouth was referring to him. It turned out that the old blind man was also a bear tribe member before.

At this moment, the second child walked in from outside the door. He was not sure whether he heard their conversation, so Wu Zhongyuan deliberately disturbed the audience and said, "Since my surname is Wang, I will address myself as brother Wang from now on."

The old blind man didn't know why. He was stunned for a moment. When the second brother came closer, he noticed something and then he reacted, "It's overstepped, it's overstepped. A person who is about to die will just be old."

"Brother, I'm back." The second child was smiling all over his face and had changed his clothes. He was a dwarf and didn't have any suitable clothes. He didn't know where he got the little red coat worn by children.

"Old Wang is indeed right about you. I said you would take the opportunity to run away, but he said you are an honest person and would not do such dishonest things." Wu Zhongyuan killed two birds with one stone. It is indeed rare that the second child did not run away. Although it did not run away, it must have passed by. After some ideological struggle, this must be recognized and praised. In addition, the second child and the old blind man will have to follow him in the future, and the team must be harmonious.

"Brother saved my life. I haven't repaid you yet. How could I run away?" The second brother smiled. After saying this, he raised his hand to the old blind man again and said, "Hello, brother."

The old blind man smiled back.

Wu Zhongyuan pointed to the seat on the east side towards the second child, who walked over and climbed onto the chair.

Wu Zhongyuan picked up the wine jar and wanted to pour the wine, but the second brother rushed to pour it. Worried that his hands were too small to hold it, Wu Zhongyuan did not let go. While the two were fighting for the wine jar, a woman's laughter came from outside the door.

Wu Zhongyuan turned his head when he heard the sound, and saw a coquettish woman with heavy makeup and scantily clad clothes standing at the door. Maybe it was because of the second son's weird posture and strange clothes. At this time, the seductive woman was looking at the second son and giggling.

When Wu Zhongyuan turned around, the woman saw his appearance clearly, a look of evil flashed in her eyes, and after looking sideways, she twisted her waist and walked in loosely.

"Oh, where did this handsome young man come from? He's so cute." The charming woman spoke wildly.

The old blind man reminded in a low voice, "She is a prostitute on the street in the west, a prostitute with a fancy name who can kill a thousand swords, and the spy of Qixing Mountain."

This charming woman must be in her early thirties, and she looks decent. She wears a lot of makeup. She doesn’t have any serious rouge or gouache at this time, and she doesn’t know what she is wearing. Her face is frighteningly white, and her lips are frighteningly red. , wearing a set of gauze clothes, so thin that you can clearly see the bellyband and pants inside.

The charming woman turned closer and tilted her head to look at the second son with interest.

People with physical defects hate others staring at them the most. The second child was afraid of Wu Zhongyuan, but not the prostitute, "You stinky bitch, what are you looking at?"

The charming woman was not angry even after being scolded. She smiled and said, "Little dwarf, you are quite angry."

After saying that, he looked at the old blind man again and said, "Who did I think he was? He turns out to be a know-it-all."

Without waiting for the old blind man to answer, the charming woman looked at Wu Zhongyuan again, "Brother, this jack-of-all-trades has no real skills. He relies on his sharp tongue to cheat people out of food. If you want to find out any information, you can contact me. Sister's His tongue is much more skillful than his."

Wu Zhongyuan frowned and looked at the charming woman. In modern times, this guy must be a nightclub killer. She must not be able to kill him with a magical weapon. This kind of thing can only kill scrap metal.

Seeing Wu Zhongyuan looking at her, the charming woman smiled even more wildly. She pressed her arms on the back of the west seat, bent down and lowered her head, deliberately exposing her breasts, "Little brother, where did you come from?"

Wu Zhongyuan looked at her with disgust, and the second child also looked at her. Although he was a male, he didn't like women. The old blind man was also frowning. If he hadn't been blind, he would probably have looked at her.

"Brother, please say something." The charming woman cooed.

Wu Zhongyuan was so embarrassed that he had goosebumps all over his body, but he was originally frowning, but when he saw the person coming in at the door, a smile appeared on his face.

"Little brother~" The charming woman didn't know why and thought she was infinitely charming. But before she could finish speaking, Jiang Nan grabbed her by the collar and threw her out. She fell to the street with a clatter and fell to the ground.

Jiang Nan pulled up the chair and sat down, "When did you arrive..."
